Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one
in till four and then after four o'clock. What you
miss something? Maybe you want to hear it again. Let's
be optimistic. After four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand
on the iHeart app. We got two runs of the
Moistline coming coming on after three o'clock. And if you
(00:22):
want to follow us on social media, it's at John
Cobelt Radio. We're going to talk now to Steve Garvey.
Steve has been with us a number of times, the
former Dodger great who got second place, almost first place
in the original runoff in March for US Senate, and
now he and Adam Schiff are going to duel between
(00:45):
now November to see who becomes the next US Senator
from California. And this is Dianne Feinstein's old seat. Let's
get Steve Garvey on the line and see what he's
been up to in the last six weeks or so
since he made it into the finals. See how are you.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Hey, Jahn, I missed you. We had a great street
going there for a while.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I know well It's good to have you back, and
I told you can come on any.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Time you want, absolutely, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
What's the state of your campaign here now? It's things
have been quiet, I think on both sides for the
last six weeks, regrouping for the November run. So what
is it that you're doing in the campaign at this moment.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, you know, I mean you chronicled just about you know,
all of the first five months. You know, the journey
we talked about, you know, got in a little later
than I wanted to, and of course we announced on
October eighth, couldn't pick the worst day. But from that
point on, you know, within the first couple of weeks
we got to ten points in the polls, and then
(01:43):
thirteen seventeen, and really by by December we were in
solid second place. But we were just getting to that first
level of awareness to let somebody told it was garby
two point zero. You know, I've had this fifty years
of a great relationship in California and throughout the state
with the fans, you know, and the people and living here.
(02:06):
But now it's you know, I'm a pitcher so to speak,
you know, talking about real life issues across the living
quality of life talking about California in twenty twenty four
as compared to when I first came here and basically
nineteen seventy and you can remember those times too. I
(02:27):
mean it was the heartbeat of America. I mean, people
came here with their new products and young kids endorsed them,
and you know, technology was flying off the charts and aerospace,
and then all of a sudden things started to change
and we got to get it back to when you
came here with your dream, start a family, grow up business,
(02:48):
had fallen in love with the streat state.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I came out here with thirty years ago. You
came out here fifty years ago. But even thirty years ago,
it was so dramatically different. I can't imagine what it
was like in nineteen seventy three when you showed up.
What do you think went wrong? I mean, to have
this place was paradise. This place was an incredible gift,
(03:12):
and people came here because they fell in love with it.
I fell in love with it in New Jersey just
seeing the Rose Bowl Parade or seeing football games being
broadcast out of San Diego in December.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It was always magical to me what I saw, you know,
on television, and I came out here thirty years ago
and it pretty much matched what I thought it was
going to be. And then we've watched it day by day.
Go to hell? What do you think happened just in society?
In politics? What's gone haywire here?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well? I think, and I say this when I speak
a lot. I mean, you know, back when I started
to get involved in politics was the latter part of
the seventies. You know, when you're young, you're building your
career and you you're so busy, and you know things
are rowing along which you're not about politics, and all
(04:10):
of a sudden, you start to make a little money,
your family starts to grow, You start to think more
about the politics of leadership and are you going to
be restrained from, like I've always said, reaching for the
moon and if you fall short, you'll be a start
but that chance and I think the biggest change from
(04:30):
then to now. And I was an American dream, you know.
In September first of nineteen sixty nine, the Dodgers called
me up and I put a Dodger uniform on for
the first time, and my dream came true, I got
to the starting line. Of course, I had a great career,
but it was unlimited. It was unrestricted, it was unregulated.
You could reach for the moon. And I think what's
(04:51):
happened over time is there's been this suppression and it
starts with the economy, and then it goes to being
hesitant to go out in the streets, and it's almost
a socialistic control of making people all equally independent on government.
And I remember the times I used to introduce President
(05:13):
Eagan during his campaign and we had some quiet moments
and I said, to miss President, what really matters to you?
And he looked at me, and you know, he had
this paternal presence, and he said, Toby Steven Stephen. He said,
it's God. He said, it's lower taxes, it's smaller government
and letting people drink, letting people create, letting people, you know,
(05:36):
try this and try that. And I think what's happened
over time is we haven't had the opportunity or the
time that we could do those types of things because
we've been suppressed. Eighty eight percent of California's right now
break even or lose money every month because of the economy.
(05:56):
That should never happen. Regulations me out of Sacramento that
all of a sudden caused businesses to rethink if they
can grow or if they can exist. You look at
the streets, the climb on the streets, and good men
and women, police officers and shares are doing a great job.
(06:17):
But they only get them to where they check them
in at the station, and then all of a sudden,
they look up when they're doing the paperwork and the
criminal goes out the back door. These hopeless people, the
homeless that are on the streets.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Let me talk about the homeless a second, because the
other day you probably saw the California State Auditor said,
we have spent twenty four billion dollars, Gavin Newsom, twenty
four billion dollars in the last six years on homelessness.
It's gotten a lot worse and he cannot find where
the money went. They don't know where any of the
twenty four billion where it ended up.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, well, it's a failure of leadership. And I said
right from the beginning, there's a few policies that we
formulated with my campaign have grown true. And one of
them is when I get back to Washington, one of
the first things I'll do is do a federal audit
(07:15):
on what happened to the money in California where did
it go to? And the state audit it talks about
this agency and that agency, and about a prominent agency
I think it's California Coalition agency. Coalition for Homelessness stopped
tracking where the money went in twenty twenty one because
they couldn't figure out where it was going. How can
(07:37):
you spend that much money? Remember when we talked about
a million, Now we're talking about billions, and in a
decade or two we'll always be talking about trillions. Where
has this money gone? Because what happened between twenty thirteen
and today is that homelessness grew fifty six percent and
then the last well just last year alone, they grew
(07:58):
fifteen percent. We're arguably thirty thirty five percent of the
homeless in America. Yeah that happened in California.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, I know, we're twelve percent of the population. And
you know what you know? In fact, can you hang on?
I want to talk more about this stuff because there
are so many, so many categories where we're number one
nationally and it's what makes life impossible, and it just
seems hardly anybody. I mean normal people talk about it,
(08:28):
but nobody in public and government talks about it. And
we're going to continue with Steve Garvey here, who's running
for Senate against Adam Schiff. This is Diane Feinstein's old seat,
and he's in the finals against Shift. And we'll discuss
things further when we come back.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
We continue talking to Steve Garvey. He's the former Dodger
great running as a Republican against Adam Shift, the Democrat
to the next US Senator, to fill Diane Feinstein's old sea.
Let's get Steve back on here. Steve, let me just
to continue our conversation. We're first in unemployment, we're first,
and homeless, we're first in people on welfare, We're first.
(09:15):
In gas taxes, we're first. In gas prices, we're first,
and electricity prices. I could go on, but I think
you get the point. I mean, what it's a total
it's a total white down, total collapse.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Here of being California. What's and I think that's you know,
that's something that who would have ever thought that? Right? Yeah,
this great straight and stayed in all its twelve and
our natural resources. And the one thing, the first thing
you said was we're first in jobless. How can that happen?
(09:51):
You know, you hear the administration talking we just gained
three hundred and thirty thousand jobs last month. Not in
California because you know, well, first of all, he's quickly
an education. We lost eighteen thousand students over the last
three years during COVID because they they weren't educated properly
and they didn't go to school, which means fast forward
(10:13):
five years, ten years, the workforce no longer is able
to produce at the level that includes being developing and
innovative and things like that. But this state, we've got
to de regularly. We've got to open things up, you know,
just as the country needs to have more oil leases
and more fracking and let our energy flow so that
(10:36):
we have you know, affordability in our energy. But you know, John,
it really gets down to the leadership. And I think the
one thing that I've been saying lately is, you know,
my opponents and now its shift have a ceiling. Their
current politicians, they answer to their party. They vote ninety
seven ninety eight percent of the time down party lines
(10:58):
because they want to keep a job. You want to
honor the party. I'm here to honor the people. You know,
I'm not running for a job. I'm running for the people.
And that's why I think I have political courage to
do and make the decisions that are good for all
the people. And when you do that, when you don't
have politicians that get in the ways of working with
(11:19):
each other, it's just like, I'm going to be a
one term senator. Davi Us, Oh, you'll be alamed by
Do you really think that I'm going to be alamed up?
Do you really think that when I go back to Washington,
people aren't going to want to work with me because
I owe no one and I have a clean slate
so I can work with the other side to be
able to do it's best for my state and their
(11:39):
state in the country. I mean, this is leadership, This
is what we need.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I think it's freeing not to worry about re election.
I mean you can really say and do what you
feel and not worry necessarily how it's going to play
in the next election cycle. I think he could really
be your own man without that def.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I think people that know me and watch. I mean,
how many of us go to work with thirty thousand
people who get to judge every day and root and
bood cheer. But they see who you are, They see
your DNA and they see your passion, your commitment. I mean,
you go to work every day, thousands of people listen
to you, They get their information to you, and you're
(12:17):
fair and you're honest to both sides. But you have
your opinion suit just as I do. And I think
that's the key to be fair and honest. Two days
ago we were up at the Huber Institute, and we've
been there a couple of times now and talk with
Condolisa Rice and got a chance to meet General Madison
(12:39):
and Pederal Elis and talk to them. In the bottom line,
we've never been in more danger than we are now.
We also never have a better opportunity to turn the
state of the country around by people starting to do
things together again. We the people doing things for the
good of the state and the country. And I talked
(13:00):
about civility. There's a wonderful book called the Loss of Stability?
Where is It Gone? Where is it Gone? When you
walk down the street and somebody's coming the other way,
and you say it, well, and they look the other way. Well,
let's say hi back, all right, it's a respect for
each other. We live in this country. I gave his
life free will and choice. Let's use it so the
better of our society. But let's start getting leadership that's
(13:25):
going to make good decisions that will allow people to
reach for the moon again and start to be able
to go out to eat a couple of times more
a month. Right, and know that eggs aren't one hundred
percent more than they were two years ago. And when
I go to the gas station this afternoon and I
see people getting ten dollars for the gas instead of
(13:47):
ten gallons because they just can't afford it. They're trying
to think how far can I go this weekend? And
what about I mean sports, Dear to me, I use sports.
You know, all our kids, we've taken them to tournaments
all through the years and so forth. You know, that's
the great joy of families is watching their children develop
on andlett view and now the family, the whole family
(14:09):
can't go anywhere it can't afford to go.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Now that you know, you're right, I mean, that's what
I'm noticing every day is a lot of the little
things in life are very difficult to deal with. Because
you know, the gas is I paid. I paid five
to eighty nine for a gallon gas yesterday, you know,
and one of our listeners called in from Iowa and
said his gas is two ninety nine. Now, how can
it be two ninety nine in Iowa and five eighty
(14:32):
nine here? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Well, because we went from sixty seventy billion dollars surplus
to a sixty seventy billion dollar deficit. And that's what
that's sled leadership, where the leadership puts the burden on
the people instead of working together for the good of
the people. And it's you know, all areas of southern California,
(14:58):
our Latino community, nobody works harder than them. They get
up early, they stayed late. They're great family people. They've
been great supporters of why we work together a number
of things. They want their children to go to school
and get it good education because they want to they
want them to be the future leaders. And education. We
(15:19):
spent two hours at the Institute on education and what
needs to be done. We need to get engage parents
with committed teachers to school boards who put children first,
and that the politics and bureaucracy, let's lear kid and
when those dreams come true, they are the next leaders
(15:42):
of this country. Whether it's the Latino community, the Asian community,
you know, all the fibers of California that when they
work together, they make it the greatest state in the
fifth best country in the world.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Steve, I got it, ron I got to do the news.
Thank you for godming on and talking about all this.
And you got a website, but don't you get to
tell people about your website.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Steve Garvey dot com. And we've had just tremendous support.
We thank everybody, but it's eight warnings. You know, this
is the second game of the double patter, and we're
going to win.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
This, all right. Steve Garvey running for US Senator as
a Republican against Adam Schiff the Democrat in November. More
coming up, Oh, when we come back the carey. Jean Pierre,
the spokesholists for Joe Biden, got into it with a
Fox reporter over Biden's story about his uncle Bosey getting
(16:38):
eaten by cannibals and Papua New Guinea back in World
War Two. He told that story twice and it's not true,
and so Peter Doocey from Fox challenged the Press secretary
about it. We're gonna and there's even more. This has
become like an international story. We'll I'll tell you when
(17:00):
we come back.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Next hour, we're gonna have two runs of the Moist Line,
and then coming up right after the three o'clock news,
we're gonna talk with Max Kennedy. He is one of
the children of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Max Kennedy
is the brother of RFK Junior, who's rooting for president.
But Max is here to talk about something else, something
(17:29):
more important. If you live in La County, it's h
he's endorsing. He's endorsing Nathan Hockman to replace George Gascone.
Max Kennedy and his sister Rory Kennedy are really upset
with the way the crime has gone insane here in
Los Angeles County, and he is throwing his support and
(17:54):
Rory Kennedy as well, throwing her support behind Gascone's opponent.
Now doesn't need to be said about the long democratic
ties Kennedy family has, but they're going against Gascone because
I don't think this crime thing is a political issue
at all. I think every normal decent person in La
(18:16):
County realizes that this experiment is insane, absolutely insane, a
social experiment that has failed, and the main perpetrator is Gascone.
I mean, he was the co writer of Prop forty seven,
so it's he also is the DA up in San Francisco.
So we have a lot of evidence to convict Gascone
as being one of the primary forces, if not the
(18:38):
primary force, in the degradation of our day to day life.
And we're going to talk with Max Kennedy coming up
after three o'clock. Okay, this is a whot. We told
you about this yesterday. So they're they're letting Biden go
and campaign. He has a tightly scripted speech, except you know,
(18:59):
he goes off on his own and he starts telling
stories that never happened.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
One of the famous ones is going on the Amtrak
train and being congratulated for his million mile achievement by
a train conductor who, at the time Biden reached that goal,
had already died. Yesterday twice two separate appearances. He started
(19:26):
talking about his uncle Ambrose Finnegan, claiming he was eaten
by cannibals in New Guinea during World War Two. Here's
what he said. At one stop, he got shot down
in an area where there were a lot of cannibals
at the time. They never recovered his body, but the
government back when I went down there and checked and
(19:48):
found some parts of the plane. Then a few hours
later he told steel workers in Pittsburgh that uncle Bosey
had gotten shot down in New Guinea and they never
found the body because there used to be there were
a lot of cannibals for real, and that part of
New Guinea. Now he ended up getting, uh, he ended
up getting some people in New Guinea pissed off. The
(20:11):
University of Papua New Guinea, Michael Cabourni is a lecturer
in political science, and he said, implying your uncle jumps
out of the plane and somehow we think it's a
good meal is unacceptable. They just wouldn't need any white
men that fell from the sky. We're now going to
play you a clip of Fox News. Is Peter Doocey
(20:34):
who takes on Carine Jean Pierre that don't be press
secretary for Biden, and they get into it over Biden's
fake story about his uncle getting eaten by cannibals. So
play cut number three.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Whyce President Biden saying that his uncle Bosey was eaten
by cannibals?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
So you know, I answered this question yesterday. I believe
I've seen some clips on your network about me answering
this question. I don't have much to say beyond what
I said to some of your colleagues. Look, I was there.
I think you traveled with us too, Dependsylvan. I'm not
sure if you were there. At the memorial in Scranton,
(21:15):
the President had a emotional and I think a symbolic moment.
He had an opportunity as president to honor his uncle
service in uniform. He had an opportunity to be there
as president to to you know, to speak toy of
(21:36):
his uncle. And not just his uncle, but many US
service members that put their lives on the line on
behalf of this country. So his uncle who lost his
life with a military partner, he was on crash in
the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
The price.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
The President highlighted his uncle's story, as he made the
case for honoring our sacred commitment to equip those we
stand into war and take care of them and their
families when they come home. And as he iterted, the
last thing American veterans are, or the last thing Americans
should be called for suckers and losers, and that is
(22:13):
those types of words should not come from a commander
in chief as we have in the past, and we
should actually be lifting up American veterans and honoring them.
And that's what you.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Saw from this president, and I agree.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Second Lieutenant Ambrose Jay Finegan was a war hero. But
Depentaon says, for unknown reasons, the plane was forced to
Digeny Ocean. Both engines failed at low altitude. Why is
President Biden saying he was shot down. There's no evidence
of that. And why is he saying that his uncle
was eaten by cannibals.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That is a bad way to go.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
He lost his life. It's not look, we should not
make jokes about it the way.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I mean your.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Last line is for a laugh, it's for or of
a funny statement. And he takes this very seriously. His uncle,
who served and protected this country lost his life.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Of serving and that should matter. It's not. You have a.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
President that lifts up our US troops are American veterans
every day, who thinks about them, who actually thinks they're
all heroes, and they are. And you have a former
president who disrespects that, who doesn't honor that said it
as president suckers or losers, that's what he said. That
(23:33):
complain I think you're missing the point. The point is
you have a president that lifts up American veterans, who
lifts up our US service members, and that's what matters.
He understands how critical and how important it is to
be commander in chief.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Where do you go to school to do that? Why
would somebody want to do that? That is great, That's
one of the best. All Right, We've got Moore coming up,
and then Max Kennedy is going to be on with
us after three o'clock. Robert Kennedy's son, Robert Kennedy, you
(24:11):
know who was the famous senator from New York, assassinated
here in Los Angeles in nineteen sixty eight by Sir
Hans Sir han Well. Max Kennedy has experienced as an
assistant DA in Philadelphia and he and his sister Rory
are very upset with Gascone for obvious reasons, and he
(24:32):
would like he would like Gascone out, and he is
supporting Nathan Hockman the opponent. And we'll get into all
that coming up. After three o'clock.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
We've got one more Biden clip to play because it
happened today. Roll it short been.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Important for him products. I'm explorting for their product.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
We don't know he's talking about importing foreign products. And
I don't know what part two of that line is.
And we're looking at it online and nobody could nobody
can decode it. But play it one more time.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
There been of important foreign products. I'm explorting for their products.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Okay, Uh, really sharp sharp brain he's got there in Uh.
You know it's great. And as I mentioned right before
the right before the news, we're gonna have Max Kennedy on.
Max Kennedy is one of Senator Robert Kennedy's sons. He
and his sister Rory. Uh. Today was part of an
(25:47):
event with Nathan Hockman, and they endorse and support Nathan
Hockman for DA of La County against George Gascone and
Max Kennedy has a background in this business. He was
an assistant DA in Philadelphia, and of course his father
was killed here in Los Angeles by Sir Hans. Sir
(26:07):
Han and Max Kennedy has a lot to say about
people getting out on parole. We have actually a fascinating
side by side test case between two completely different philosophies.
(26:28):
One is George Gascone. In La anything goes, nobody's arrested,
or few are arrested. If they get arrested, very few
are kept on bail. Even if they're kept on bail
and prosecuted, they're not sentenced or they're not sentenced to
anything significant. And if they end up getting sentenced, they
(26:50):
get let out early. So there's not much in the
way of arrests. If you do have an arrest, there's
not much in the way of jail time. There's no bail.
Often they get out immediately. Then if you get prosecuted,
and often you don't, you go to jail for a
little while, prison for a little while. And what do
(27:11):
we have. We have rampant crime in our faces every
day and we know this. We can see it with
our own eyes. Then you have Orange County, which has
Todd Spitzer. Todd Spitzer is the district attorney, and he's
running an ad campaign saying that crime doesn't pay in
Orange County. Exactly. I saw a bus. A bus went
(27:35):
by me today. I was waiting to make a left
turn and a bus passed right in front and it said,
we prosecute an Orange County. So what do you have?
Will you have a list of the ten safest cities
in the state. According to a home security company called
safe Wise, out of the ten safest cities, seven of
(27:57):
them are in Orange County. Seven of the ten safest
cities in the state of California are in Orange County.
Los Angeles County has zero. Can you imagine that we've
got fifty eight counties in the state, and I believe
Orange County has a little over three million people. So
(28:18):
it's it's I don't know what, eight percent of the population,
eight percent of the population, seventy percent of the top
ten safest cities. Gee, which way do you think works better?
George Gascone's way or Todd Spitzer's way. Wouldn't you like
the crime rate to be like it is in Orange County.
(28:38):
If you live in La County, wouldn't you like that?
So how about we try Todd Spitzer's way. We've given
George Gascon He's run. Are you happy? Do you feel good?
Some of the individual cities, Well, the number one city
is Rancho of Santa Margarita. Number two is at least
(29:01):
of via Hoo. Number three you are Belinda, number four,
Laguna Negal, number five Mission via Ho. Look, yeah we
got you got the top five. There, number six Lake Forest,
and then there's Lincoln, Poway and Rockland. And then number
ten is from Orange County and that's Irvine. Wow, how
about that? There is so little crime in Orange County
(29:23):
that Irvine comes in uh as number six in the
county and number ten in the state, actually number seven
in the county, number ten in this how about that?
Other southern California cities in the top twenty include San Clemente,
also from Orange County, and in the Inland Empire, Murrieta, Fontana,
(29:44):
and Menafee and safe Why says it compiles the rankings
by using the most up to date FBI data statistics
on violent crime, property crime, gun violence, package staffed which
is a crime. So there you go. There's an ad
campaign that lives up to its hype. Crime does not
pay an Orange County that's what the billboards say. I
(30:07):
sought myself and I said, said Todd Spitzer, we still
prosecute in Orange County just because LA is very lenient
on people who steal. We're going to prosecute you to
the fullest extent of the law. And I ask you again,
which way do you want to live? Really? Which way
do you want to live? Why can't we have seven
(30:30):
of the top ten safest cities. Why can't Los Angeles
be one of those cities? If you prosecute criminals, you
get a lot closer. What else are you going to
do with them? If you don't prosecute them, then what then?
Then we just accept all the theft every day. That's
what I would understand. This is pretty much a zero
of some game. Every time you put a bad guy
(30:51):
in jail on that day, that week, that year, he
can't commit another crime. His crime rate goes to zero.
When you release him, he starts committing crime. We don't
know this. Of all the people to have sympathy for,
why would you have sympathy for criminals that I don't
understand it. There's a lot of people who are in
(31:11):
bad straits one way or the other. They don't have
much money, they might have a job, they've got emotional problems,
they've got, you know, their sicknesses, They've had terrible things
happen to them. That's not their fault. You have compassion
for those people who have difficulties, maybe sometimes outside their control.
(31:35):
They're victims of fate in some way. Why would you
have compassion for guys who wake up in the morning
and openly want to steal. I saw a criminal talking
about this on television the other day, and he basically says,
you do it because it pays off pretty well. That's
why you do it. That being in a regular job
(31:57):
doesn't pay that well, it's not that interesting. Committing crimes
all day. That's an adrenaline rush. That's a high. That's
why he does it, and he gets paid better. I
actually said this. I saw it on camera. All right,
we come back. We're going to talk with Max Kennedy.
Max Kennedy and his sister Rory, they're children of Robert F. Kennedy,
(32:21):
the Senator, and they stood and supported Nathan Hackman today
outside the Hall of Justice. Downtown Nathan Hockman for a
District attorney in Los Angeles County. Max Kennedy has served
as an assistant DA in Philadelphia, and he is upset
with a lot of Gascon policies and he thinks time
(32:42):
is up for Gascon. And even though he's a Democrat
and I guess is normally expected to vote for a
guy like Gascon, he is not. He's going to go
with the independent here, Nathan Hackman, We'll talk with Max
Kennedy coming up next, and we got two rounds in
the moistline as well. John Cobelt Show, KFI AM six forty. Hey,
(33:03):
you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. You

Moistline coming coming on after three o'clock. And if you
(00:22):
want to follow us on social media, it's at John
Cobelt Radio. We're going to talk now to Steve Garvey.
Steve has been with us a number of times, the
former Dodger great who got second place, almost first place
in the original runoff in March for US Senate, and
now he and Adam Schiff are going to duel between
(00:45):
now November to see who becomes the next US Senator
from California. And this is Dianne Feinstein's old seat. Let's
get Steve Garvey on the line and see what he's
been up to in the last six weeks or so
since he made it into the finals. See how are you.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Hey, Jahn, I missed you. We had a great street
going there for a while.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I know well It's good to have you back, and
I told you can come on any.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Time you want, absolutely, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
What's the state of your campaign here now? It's things
have been quiet, I think on both sides for the
last six weeks, regrouping for the November run. So what
is it that you're doing in the campaign at this moment.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, you know, I mean you chronicled just about you know,
all of the first five months. You know, the journey
we talked about, you know, got in a little later
than I wanted to, and of course we announced on
October eighth, couldn't pick the worst day. But from that
point on, you know, within the first couple of weeks
we got to ten points in the polls, and then
(01:43):
thirteen seventeen, and really by by December we were in
solid second place. But we were just getting to that first
level of awareness to let somebody told it was garby
two point zero. You know, I've had this fifty years
of a great relationship in California and throughout the state
with the fans, you know, and the people and living here.
(02:06):
But now it's you know, I'm a pitcher so to speak,
you know, talking about real life issues across the living
quality of life talking about California in twenty twenty four
as compared to when I first came here and basically
nineteen seventy and you can remember those times too. I
(02:27):
mean it was the heartbeat of America. I mean, people
came here with their new products and young kids endorsed them,
and you know, technology was flying off the charts and aerospace,
and then all of a sudden things started to change
and we got to get it back to when you
came here with your dream, start a family, grow up business,
(02:48):
had fallen in love with the streat state.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I came out here with thirty years ago. You
came out here fifty years ago. But even thirty years ago,
it was so dramatically different. I can't imagine what it
was like in nineteen seventy three when you showed up.
What do you think went wrong? I mean, to have
this place was paradise. This place was an incredible gift,
(03:12):
and people came here because they fell in love with it.
I fell in love with it in New Jersey just
seeing the Rose Bowl Parade or seeing football games being
broadcast out of San Diego in December.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It was always magical to me what I saw, you know,
on television, and I came out here thirty years ago
and it pretty much matched what I thought it was
going to be. And then we've watched it day by day.
Go to hell? What do you think happened just in society?
In politics? What's gone haywire here?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well? I think, and I say this when I speak
a lot. I mean, you know, back when I started
to get involved in politics was the latter part of
the seventies. You know, when you're young, you're building your
career and you you're so busy, and you know things
are rowing along which you're not about politics, and all
(04:10):
of a sudden, you start to make a little money,
your family starts to grow, You start to think more
about the politics of leadership and are you going to
be restrained from, like I've always said, reaching for the
moon and if you fall short, you'll be a start
but that chance and I think the biggest change from
(04:30):
then to now. And I was an American dream, you know.
In September first of nineteen sixty nine, the Dodgers called
me up and I put a Dodger uniform on for
the first time, and my dream came true, I got
to the starting line. Of course, I had a great career,
but it was unlimited. It was unrestricted, it was unregulated.
You could reach for the moon. And I think what's
(04:51):
happened over time is there's been this suppression and it
starts with the economy, and then it goes to being
hesitant to go out in the streets, and it's almost
a socialistic control of making people all equally independent on government.
And I remember the times I used to introduce President
(05:13):
Eagan during his campaign and we had some quiet moments
and I said, to miss President, what really matters to you?
And he looked at me, and you know, he had
this paternal presence, and he said, Toby Steven Stephen. He said,
it's God. He said, it's lower taxes, it's smaller government
and letting people drink, letting people create, letting people, you know,
(05:36):
try this and try that. And I think what's happened
over time is we haven't had the opportunity or the
time that we could do those types of things because
we've been suppressed. Eighty eight percent of California's right now
break even or lose money every month because of the economy.
(05:56):
That should never happen. Regulations me out of Sacramento that
all of a sudden caused businesses to rethink if they
can grow or if they can exist. You look at
the streets, the climb on the streets, and good men
and women, police officers and shares are doing a great job.
(06:17):
But they only get them to where they check them
in at the station, and then all of a sudden,
they look up when they're doing the paperwork and the
criminal goes out the back door. These hopeless people, the
homeless that are on the streets.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Let me talk about the homeless a second, because the
other day you probably saw the California State Auditor said,
we have spent twenty four billion dollars, Gavin Newsom, twenty
four billion dollars in the last six years on homelessness.
It's gotten a lot worse and he cannot find where
the money went. They don't know where any of the
twenty four billion where it ended up.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, well, it's a failure of leadership. And I said
right from the beginning, there's a few policies that we
formulated with my campaign have grown true. And one of
them is when I get back to Washington, one of
the first things I'll do is do a federal audit
(07:15):
on what happened to the money in California where did
it go to? And the state audit it talks about
this agency and that agency, and about a prominent agency
I think it's California Coalition agency. Coalition for Homelessness stopped
tracking where the money went in twenty twenty one because
they couldn't figure out where it was going. How can
(07:37):
you spend that much money? Remember when we talked about
a million, Now we're talking about billions, and in a
decade or two we'll always be talking about trillions. Where
has this money gone? Because what happened between twenty thirteen
and today is that homelessness grew fifty six percent and
then the last well just last year alone, they grew
(07:58):
fifteen percent. We're arguably thirty thirty five percent of the
homeless in America. Yeah that happened in California.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, I know, we're twelve percent of the population. And
you know what you know? In fact, can you hang on?
I want to talk more about this stuff because there
are so many, so many categories where we're number one
nationally and it's what makes life impossible, and it just
seems hardly anybody. I mean normal people talk about it,
(08:28):
but nobody in public and government talks about it. And
we're going to continue with Steve Garvey here, who's running
for Senate against Adam Schiff. This is Diane Feinstein's old seat,
and he's in the finals against Shift. And we'll discuss
things further when we come back.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
We continue talking to Steve Garvey. He's the former Dodger
great running as a Republican against Adam Shift, the Democrat
to the next US Senator, to fill Diane Feinstein's old sea.
Let's get Steve back on here. Steve, let me just
to continue our conversation. We're first in unemployment, we're first,
and homeless, we're first in people on welfare, We're first.
(09:15):
In gas taxes, we're first. In gas prices, we're first,
and electricity prices. I could go on, but I think
you get the point. I mean, what it's a total
it's a total white down, total collapse.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Here of being California. What's and I think that's you know,
that's something that who would have ever thought that? Right? Yeah,
this great straight and stayed in all its twelve and
our natural resources. And the one thing, the first thing
you said was we're first in jobless. How can that happen?
(09:51):
You know, you hear the administration talking we just gained
three hundred and thirty thousand jobs last month. Not in
California because you know, well, first of all, he's quickly
an education. We lost eighteen thousand students over the last
three years during COVID because they they weren't educated properly
and they didn't go to school, which means fast forward
(10:13):
five years, ten years, the workforce no longer is able
to produce at the level that includes being developing and
innovative and things like that. But this state, we've got
to de regularly. We've got to open things up, you know,
just as the country needs to have more oil leases
and more fracking and let our energy flow so that
(10:36):
we have you know, affordability in our energy. But you know, John,
it really gets down to the leadership. And I think the
one thing that I've been saying lately is, you know,
my opponents and now its shift have a ceiling. Their
current politicians, they answer to their party. They vote ninety
seven ninety eight percent of the time down party lines
(10:58):
because they want to keep a job. You want to
honor the party. I'm here to honor the people. You know,
I'm not running for a job. I'm running for the people.
And that's why I think I have political courage to
do and make the decisions that are good for all
the people. And when you do that, when you don't
have politicians that get in the ways of working with
(11:19):
each other, it's just like, I'm going to be a
one term senator. Davi Us, Oh, you'll be alamed by
Do you really think that I'm going to be alamed up?
Do you really think that when I go back to Washington,
people aren't going to want to work with me because
I owe no one and I have a clean slate
so I can work with the other side to be
able to do it's best for my state and their
(11:39):
state in the country. I mean, this is leadership, This
is what we need.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I think it's freeing not to worry about re election.
I mean you can really say and do what you
feel and not worry necessarily how it's going to play
in the next election cycle. I think he could really
be your own man without that def.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
I think people that know me and watch. I mean,
how many of us go to work with thirty thousand
people who get to judge every day and root and
bood cheer. But they see who you are, They see
your DNA and they see your passion, your commitment. I mean,
you go to work every day, thousands of people listen
to you, They get their information to you, and you're
(12:17):
fair and you're honest to both sides. But you have
your opinion suit just as I do. And I think
that's the key to be fair and honest. Two days
ago we were up at the Huber Institute, and we've
been there a couple of times now and talk with
Condolisa Rice and got a chance to meet General Madison
(12:39):
and Pederal Elis and talk to them. In the bottom line,
we've never been in more danger than we are now.
We also never have a better opportunity to turn the
state of the country around by people starting to do
things together again. We the people doing things for the
good of the state and the country. And I talked
(13:00):
about civility. There's a wonderful book called the Loss of Stability?
Where is It Gone? Where is it Gone? When you
walk down the street and somebody's coming the other way,
and you say it, well, and they look the other way. Well,
let's say hi back, all right, it's a respect for
each other. We live in this country. I gave his
life free will and choice. Let's use it so the
better of our society. But let's start getting leadership that's
(13:25):
going to make good decisions that will allow people to
reach for the moon again and start to be able
to go out to eat a couple of times more
a month. Right, and know that eggs aren't one hundred
percent more than they were two years ago. And when
I go to the gas station this afternoon and I
see people getting ten dollars for the gas instead of
(13:47):
ten gallons because they just can't afford it. They're trying
to think how far can I go this weekend? And
what about I mean sports, Dear to me, I use sports.
You know, all our kids, we've taken them to tournaments
all through the years and so forth. You know, that's
the great joy of families is watching their children develop
on andlett view and now the family, the whole family
(14:09):
can't go anywhere it can't afford to go.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Now that you know, you're right, I mean, that's what
I'm noticing every day is a lot of the little
things in life are very difficult to deal with. Because
you know, the gas is I paid. I paid five
to eighty nine for a gallon gas yesterday, you know,
and one of our listeners called in from Iowa and
said his gas is two ninety nine. Now, how can
it be two ninety nine in Iowa and five eighty
(14:32):
nine here? What's going on?
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Well, because we went from sixty seventy billion dollars surplus
to a sixty seventy billion dollar deficit. And that's what
that's sled leadership, where the leadership puts the burden on
the people instead of working together for the good of
the people. And it's you know, all areas of southern California,
(14:58):
our Latino community, nobody works harder than them. They get
up early, they stayed late. They're great family people. They've
been great supporters of why we work together a number
of things. They want their children to go to school
and get it good education because they want to they
want them to be the future leaders. And education. We
(15:19):
spent two hours at the Institute on education and what
needs to be done. We need to get engage parents
with committed teachers to school boards who put children first,
and that the politics and bureaucracy, let's lear kid and
when those dreams come true, they are the next leaders
(15:42):
of this country. Whether it's the Latino community, the Asian community,
you know, all the fibers of California that when they
work together, they make it the greatest state in the
fifth best country in the world.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Steve, I got it, ron I got to do the news.
Thank you for godming on and talking about all this.
And you got a website, but don't you get to
tell people about your website.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Steve Garvey dot com. And we've had just tremendous support.
We thank everybody, but it's eight warnings. You know, this
is the second game of the double patter, and we're
going to win.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
This, all right. Steve Garvey running for US Senator as
a Republican against Adam Schiff the Democrat in November. More
coming up, Oh, when we come back the carey. Jean Pierre,
the spokesholists for Joe Biden, got into it with a
Fox reporter over Biden's story about his uncle Bosey getting
(16:38):
eaten by cannibals and Papua New Guinea back in World
War Two. He told that story twice and it's not true,
and so Peter Doocey from Fox challenged the Press secretary
about it. We're gonna and there's even more. This has
become like an international story. We'll I'll tell you when
(17:00):
we come back.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Next hour, we're gonna have two runs of the Moist Line,
and then coming up right after the three o'clock news,
we're gonna talk with Max Kennedy. He is one of
the children of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Max Kennedy
is the brother of RFK Junior, who's rooting for president.
But Max is here to talk about something else, something
(17:29):
more important. If you live in La County, it's h
he's endorsing. He's endorsing Nathan Hockman to replace George Gascone.
Max Kennedy and his sister Rory Kennedy are really upset
with the way the crime has gone insane here in
Los Angeles County, and he is throwing his support and
(17:54):
Rory Kennedy as well, throwing her support behind Gascone's opponent.
Now doesn't need to be said about the long democratic
ties Kennedy family has, but they're going against Gascone because
I don't think this crime thing is a political issue
at all. I think every normal decent person in La
(18:16):
County realizes that this experiment is insane, absolutely insane, a
social experiment that has failed, and the main perpetrator is Gascone.
I mean, he was the co writer of Prop forty seven,
so it's he also is the DA up in San Francisco.
So we have a lot of evidence to convict Gascone
as being one of the primary forces, if not the
(18:38):
primary force, in the degradation of our day to day life.
And we're going to talk with Max Kennedy coming up
after three o'clock. Okay, this is a whot. We told
you about this yesterday. So they're they're letting Biden go
and campaign. He has a tightly scripted speech, except you know,
(18:59):
he goes off on his own and he starts telling
stories that never happened.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
One of the famous ones is going on the Amtrak
train and being congratulated for his million mile achievement by
a train conductor who, at the time Biden reached that goal,
had already died. Yesterday twice two separate appearances. He started
(19:26):
talking about his uncle Ambrose Finnegan, claiming he was eaten
by cannibals in New Guinea during World War Two. Here's
what he said. At one stop, he got shot down
in an area where there were a lot of cannibals
at the time. They never recovered his body, but the
government back when I went down there and checked and
(19:48):
found some parts of the plane. Then a few hours
later he told steel workers in Pittsburgh that uncle Bosey
had gotten shot down in New Guinea and they never
found the body because there used to be there were
a lot of cannibals for real, and that part of
New Guinea. Now he ended up getting, uh, he ended
up getting some people in New Guinea pissed off. The
(20:11):
University of Papua New Guinea, Michael Cabourni is a lecturer
in political science, and he said, implying your uncle jumps
out of the plane and somehow we think it's a
good meal is unacceptable. They just wouldn't need any white
men that fell from the sky. We're now going to
play you a clip of Fox News. Is Peter Doocey
(20:34):
who takes on Carine Jean Pierre that don't be press
secretary for Biden, and they get into it over Biden's
fake story about his uncle getting eaten by cannibals. So
play cut number three.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Whyce President Biden saying that his uncle Bosey was eaten
by cannibals?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
So you know, I answered this question yesterday. I believe
I've seen some clips on your network about me answering
this question. I don't have much to say beyond what
I said to some of your colleagues. Look, I was there.
I think you traveled with us too, Dependsylvan. I'm not
sure if you were there. At the memorial in Scranton,
(21:15):
the President had a emotional and I think a symbolic moment.
He had an opportunity as president to honor his uncle
service in uniform. He had an opportunity to be there
as president to to you know, to speak toy of
(21:36):
his uncle. And not just his uncle, but many US
service members that put their lives on the line on
behalf of this country. So his uncle who lost his
life with a military partner, he was on crash in
the Pacific after taking off near New Guinea.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
The price.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
The President highlighted his uncle's story, as he made the
case for honoring our sacred commitment to equip those we
stand into war and take care of them and their
families when they come home. And as he iterted, the
last thing American veterans are, or the last thing Americans
should be called for suckers and losers, and that is
(22:13):
those types of words should not come from a commander
in chief as we have in the past, and we
should actually be lifting up American veterans and honoring them.
And that's what you.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Saw from this president, and I agree.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
Second Lieutenant Ambrose Jay Finegan was a war hero. But
Depentaon says, for unknown reasons, the plane was forced to
Digeny Ocean. Both engines failed at low altitude. Why is
President Biden saying he was shot down. There's no evidence
of that. And why is he saying that his uncle
was eaten by cannibals.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
That is a bad way to go.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
He lost his life. It's not look, we should not
make jokes about it the way.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I mean your.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Last line is for a laugh, it's for or of
a funny statement. And he takes this very seriously. His uncle,
who served and protected this country lost his life.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Of serving and that should matter. It's not. You have a.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
President that lifts up our US troops are American veterans
every day, who thinks about them, who actually thinks they're
all heroes, and they are. And you have a former
president who disrespects that, who doesn't honor that said it
as president suckers or losers, that's what he said. That
(23:33):
complain I think you're missing the point. The point is
you have a president that lifts up American veterans, who
lifts up our US service members, and that's what matters.
He understands how critical and how important it is to
be commander in chief.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Where do you go to school to do that? Why
would somebody want to do that? That is great, That's
one of the best. All Right, We've got Moore coming up,
and then Max Kennedy is going to be on with
us after three o'clock. Robert Kennedy's son, Robert Kennedy, you
(24:11):
know who was the famous senator from New York, assassinated
here in Los Angeles in nineteen sixty eight by Sir
Hans Sir han Well. Max Kennedy has experienced as an
assistant DA in Philadelphia and he and his sister Rory
are very upset with Gascone for obvious reasons, and he
(24:32):
would like he would like Gascone out, and he is
supporting Nathan Hockman the opponent. And we'll get into all
that coming up. After three o'clock.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
We've got one more Biden clip to play because it
happened today. Roll it short been.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
Important for him products. I'm explorting for their product.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
We don't know he's talking about importing foreign products. And
I don't know what part two of that line is.
And we're looking at it online and nobody could nobody
can decode it. But play it one more time.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
There been of important foreign products. I'm explorting for their products.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Okay, Uh, really sharp sharp brain he's got there in Uh.
You know it's great. And as I mentioned right before
the right before the news, we're gonna have Max Kennedy on.
Max Kennedy is one of Senator Robert Kennedy's sons. He
and his sister Rory. Uh. Today was part of an
(25:47):
event with Nathan Hockman, and they endorse and support Nathan
Hockman for DA of La County against George Gascone and
Max Kennedy has a background in this business. He was
an assistant DA in Philadelphia, and of course his father
was killed here in Los Angeles by Sir Hans. Sir
(26:07):
Han and Max Kennedy has a lot to say about
people getting out on parole. We have actually a fascinating
side by side test case between two completely different philosophies.
(26:28):
One is George Gascone. In La anything goes, nobody's arrested,
or few are arrested. If they get arrested, very few
are kept on bail. Even if they're kept on bail
and prosecuted, they're not sentenced or they're not sentenced to
anything significant. And if they end up getting sentenced, they
(26:50):
get let out early. So there's not much in the
way of arrests. If you do have an arrest, there's
not much in the way of jail time. There's no bail.
Often they get out immediately. Then if you get prosecuted,
and often you don't, you go to jail for a
little while, prison for a little while. And what do
(27:11):
we have. We have rampant crime in our faces every
day and we know this. We can see it with
our own eyes. Then you have Orange County, which has
Todd Spitzer. Todd Spitzer is the district attorney, and he's
running an ad campaign saying that crime doesn't pay in
Orange County. Exactly. I saw a bus. A bus went
(27:35):
by me today. I was waiting to make a left
turn and a bus passed right in front and it said,
we prosecute an Orange County. So what do you have?
Will you have a list of the ten safest cities
in the state. According to a home security company called
safe Wise, out of the ten safest cities, seven of
(27:57):
them are in Orange County. Seven of the ten safest
cities in the state of California are in Orange County.
Los Angeles County has zero. Can you imagine that we've
got fifty eight counties in the state, and I believe
Orange County has a little over three million people. So
(28:18):
it's it's I don't know what, eight percent of the population,
eight percent of the population, seventy percent of the top
ten safest cities. Gee, which way do you think works better?
George Gascone's way or Todd Spitzer's way. Wouldn't you like
the crime rate to be like it is in Orange County.
(28:38):
If you live in La County, wouldn't you like that?
So how about we try Todd Spitzer's way. We've given
George Gascon He's run. Are you happy? Do you feel good?
Some of the individual cities, Well, the number one city
is Rancho of Santa Margarita. Number two is at least
(29:01):
of via Hoo. Number three you are Belinda, number four,
Laguna Negal, number five Mission via Ho. Look, yeah we
got you got the top five. There, number six Lake Forest,
and then there's Lincoln, Poway and Rockland. And then number
ten is from Orange County and that's Irvine. Wow, how
about that? There is so little crime in Orange County
(29:23):
that Irvine comes in uh as number six in the
county and number ten in the state, actually number seven
in the county, number ten in this how about that?
Other southern California cities in the top twenty include San Clemente,
also from Orange County, and in the Inland Empire, Murrieta, Fontana,
(29:44):
and Menafee and safe Why says it compiles the rankings
by using the most up to date FBI data statistics
on violent crime, property crime, gun violence, package staffed which
is a crime. So there you go. There's an ad
campaign that lives up to its hype. Crime does not
pay an Orange County that's what the billboards say. I
(30:07):
sought myself and I said, said Todd Spitzer, we still
prosecute in Orange County just because LA is very lenient
on people who steal. We're going to prosecute you to
the fullest extent of the law. And I ask you again,
which way do you want to live? Really? Which way
do you want to live? Why can't we have seven
(30:30):
of the top ten safest cities. Why can't Los Angeles
be one of those cities? If you prosecute criminals, you
get a lot closer. What else are you going to
do with them? If you don't prosecute them, then what then?
Then we just accept all the theft every day. That's
what I would understand. This is pretty much a zero
of some game. Every time you put a bad guy
(30:51):
in jail on that day, that week, that year, he
can't commit another crime. His crime rate goes to zero.
When you release him, he starts committing crime. We don't
know this. Of all the people to have sympathy for,
why would you have sympathy for criminals that I don't
understand it. There's a lot of people who are in
(31:11):
bad straits one way or the other. They don't have
much money, they might have a job, they've got emotional problems,
they've got, you know, their sicknesses, They've had terrible things
happen to them. That's not their fault. You have compassion
for those people who have difficulties, maybe sometimes outside their control.
(31:35):
They're victims of fate in some way. Why would you
have compassion for guys who wake up in the morning
and openly want to steal. I saw a criminal talking
about this on television the other day, and he basically says,
you do it because it pays off pretty well. That's
why you do it. That being in a regular job
(31:57):
doesn't pay that well, it's not that interesting. Committing crimes
all day. That's an adrenaline rush. That's a high. That's
why he does it, and he gets paid better. I
actually said this. I saw it on camera. All right,
we come back. We're going to talk with Max Kennedy.
Max Kennedy and his sister Rory, they're children of Robert F. Kennedy,
(32:21):
the Senator, and they stood and supported Nathan Hackman today
outside the Hall of Justice. Downtown Nathan Hockman for a
District attorney in Los Angeles County. Max Kennedy has served
as an assistant DA in Philadelphia, and he is upset
with a lot of Gascon policies and he thinks time
(32:42):
is up for Gascon. And even though he's a Democrat
and I guess is normally expected to vote for a
guy like Gascon, he is not. He's going to go
with the independent here, Nathan Hackman, We'll talk with Max
Kennedy coming up next, and we got two rounds in
the moistline as well. John Cobelt Show, KFI AM six forty. Hey,
