During the strike some schools are expected to remain open with adult supervision, but no instruction to give students somewhere to go.

Newsom Rescinds California’s COVID-19 State of Emergency
"About California. So it's official. Is it official? Is COVID over finally? Hold on, let me move my arms around. Oh yeah, look at all the freedom I have, yes. The state of emergency is over in California, as of yesterday, actually. So what does that mean if gruesome Newsom has pulled the plug on the state of merchant? Does that mean that you can live your life? Nothing. We still have these zombies walking around with masks on. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I went for like a little just a little hike the other day. I was out, you know, and the reason I say hike, not on cement, I was in like a, you know, nature. Nature. People are walking by themselves with masks on set. Oh, my God. Seriously, I started waving my arms. Like, what are these? How about this? How about this? Sunday mass. What was it? It was ash Wednesday, right? My whole family had gone earlier. I went after work to church, I usually don't go to young, young priest, great, great homily. And they have a beautiful choir. There's about 30 people in the choir wearing robes like purple robes, elegant, beautiful. Sure. There's one woman she must be like 60. Shed a mask on and she was singing and because she's actually seen. She was blowing the mask out and then sucking it into her mouth. It looked like a comedy skit jet. This is my favorite stuff. Like, these people, everything you need to know. It really is like, you know, I'm with stupid T-shirt, basically. I mean, it is a cult, but I welcome it at least you know who you're dealing with when you see people alone in a car or walking out by themselves with the mask or in church singing in their silver mask. It's exhausting. So in California, the state of emergencies over, Los Angeles is going to end the county emergency at the end of this month, but I really think that they're going to continue to punish us because the story out of LA county is that all of these restaurants and bars who created outdoor dining spaces to stay alive during the pandemic and just stay open. They were forced by the county to do this. Right, because of the distancing stuff. Right. They're now going to have to pay up to $20,000 to get permits for outdoor dining once the COVID emergency is over.

Some People Will Defend Donald Trump to the Bitter End
"I know that there's some people that don't like what I have to say about Trump. It's like it's funny because some people would defend Trump to the bitter end. It's like, I'm not defending me. Attacking another conservative who's probably the biggest conservative in the game is just makes you look bad. Y'all not in a beef. You just throwing shots and he ain't even thought about you one time. At least this is what it appears. Maybe he is mad at Trump is saying this. But publicly, he haven't said anything about Trump. Trump is literally sneak dissing on truth social on a platform he created that there is nowhere near as big of a platform as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, it's just not a good look, man. It's like, some people believe he legitimately lost elections, some people don't. Regardless, he ate the president. And you ain't even on social media. You don't choose social. And the reason that you're not probably going to go on social media, because you got a financial interest in true social. So you can't go on other social media platforms. And they know you can. So they're going to say, we're going to lift the band and allow Trump back on Twitter. Well, you know, he can't go on Twitter, but it just makes him look bad because to me it's going to expose that it's the financial interest. It's not the American people that he's concerned with at this point. And that may be contractual. There may not be as far. I mean, he decides to go start his own network, which I have mixed emotions about.

Trump's Attack Strategy With DeSantis Is Confusing
"I'm confused at what Donald Trump is doing right now. I'm just confused. And I am upset. I do get upset sometimes because I feel like we need you the most, bro, you choking, Super Bowl, and you choking, you throwing interceptions for no reason. It's like Ron DeSantis isn't your enemy. He's not even running for president currently. It just looks bad. I don't even care if Trump is right. Desantis ain't said nothing about Trump. It just makes one person look childish and the other person looked mature, even though Ron haven't said anything. He just automatically takes precedent and leadership over Donald Trump because he didn't say anything. He's not entertaining it. He got business to take care of. This is the problem with Trump. He don't understand that like you like you like you like the ex-girlfriend. No matter if he was your father or not, which I don't think necessarily it was Trump's fault that he wasn't in 2020. I think they cheated. But no here not there. You've been out of the game for a couple years. You have not been legislating. You have not been doing anything. The world has gone on in COVID and all this other stuff that's happening. You have been on two social. Run desantis is building a resume of things he's actually doing today. Donors are saying and I'm talking about donors that have donated millions to Trump. They're saying they're worried about today tomorrow, not today yesterday. Donald Trump's accomplishments were two years ago. Three years ago, four years ago, Ron DeSantis is actively accomplishing things today.

Donald Trump Attacks Ron DeSantis AGAIN
"Donald Trump is attacking desantis again. I just, it's nauseating to think that Donald Trump is attacking desantis. And guess what he's attacking him over? A pitcher allegedly of Ron DeSantis at a party when he was in his 20s teaching at a high school in these girls in their 18s. In the 18th year, so according to the article that I'm reading right here from the article is just the New York. Is it The New York Times daily mail? The daily mail, according to the article, supposedly Ron DeSantis had just, let me read this because I don't want to mess it up. It says Rhonda Sanchez, which he's 44 now. Talk history and government at the Darlington school in Rome, Georgia during the 2001, 2002 year. He was fresh out of Yale at the time in students described him as smart, smug, charismatic, and a joke. And go on to talk about how, you know, there's a picture of him and it looked like there's some girls in the picture. And he just hanging out. Donald Trump, grabbing him about a nucky. And you mad at just, let me just say this. I want to go back real quick. Why is Donald Trump even worried about Ron DeSantis right now? Well, I know why he's worried. But if he wasn't worried, according to probably his logic, then he shouldn't be saying things like this about the sentence. Let's say hypothetically that Ron DeSantis was at a party with underage girls. And I say underage, meaning that he's in his 20s and air under 20. 18. But where does it say that he did anything to any of these women? Where is a person coming out of saying that they were raped by Ron DeSantis? Or that he grabbed him in the place they didn't want to be grabbed in. And you got to go all the way back to some picture, I don't know how many years ago. And Donald Trump, like, bro you got divorces? You cheating on women? You on the camera, hot mic to my grabbing people by the nookie. Donald, just stop, bro

"Derek Chauvin's ex-wife says that he ruined her life, but she support bid to overturn conviction. And which is, that sounds like a pretty normal fair statement. Let me read this article to you.

A former beauty pageant queen has remained quiet since Chauvin's knelt on George Floyd's neck for more than 9 minutes resulted in a death in his death and sparking nationwide protests. Have I been in contact with him? No. I've moved on. That's what she said. Chauvin told that's kind of bad. Chauvin told the daily mail dot com for an article published Monday after the outlet tracked her down and Wisconsin. Speaking about the incident about George Floyd and her husband, Chauvin said, it ruined my life. But I'm doing good. It's just something that you have to deal with.

L.A. County Supervisors Want Gun Registry
"LA county supervisors want gun register, I want a gun registry, insurance, and storage mandated for gun owners. Now, let's just break this down because this is the flaw of the left wing people who try to confuse you into pushing communism. What is the motive for guns being registered and insured and maintenance or is mandatory that is stored, what is the theory behind that? Because if you're worried about gun violence, then what is gun registry going to do for gun violence? What is ensuring your gun going to do for gun violence? Storing your gun is inconsequential and the guns that are used in committing crimes. So what exactly are they trying to do? If you ask me, they're trying to push, you closer and closer and closer to communism.

Chief defends delay telling public of mass shooter at-large
"The police chief in the California city where 20 people were shot at a ballroom dance hall, 11 fatally, is defending his decision not to warn the public for hours that a killer was on the loose. I'm Ben Thomas with the latest. Monterey Park police chief Scott Weiss tells the AP other law enforcement in the region were alerted, but it didn't make sense to warn the public late at night, even after receiving a report that the suspect may have targeted another club nearby. I'm not going to send my officers door to door, waking people up and telling them that we're looking for a male Asian in Monterey Park. It's not going to do us any good. We said the scene inside the club was overwhelming. There were victims about every ten feet. And his team needed help. Nobody in our department, including myself, has ever been involved in a situation like this. They brought in the LA county sheriff's department, they'd be able to pull that information out and get it out to the public if it was necessary. A sheriff's official confirmed the fatalities to the AP about four hours after the shooting, but it was roughly an hour later the first word came a suspect was at large. Several hours later, he was found dead in his van, authorities saying, from a self inflicted gunshot. I'm Ben Thomas

"CBS News special report, authorities in Monterey Park, California, near Los Angeles, are still surrounding a white van, where the suspect of last night's mass shooting may be holed up. Could it be our suspect? Possibly. But at this point, if we're doing our jobs correctly, we're not only looking at that situation or scenario, but we're making sure that we're looking at every possibility. LA county sheriff Robert Luna there, he says the suspect may have also shot himself, but has yet to confirm his condition. Was he by himself were there other suspects we are detectives are looking at every angle? And there's still no motive for that rampage either the shooter killed ten people and injured ten others at a dance hall on the lunar new year. The massacres also raising fears of more anti Asian hate, but investigators have not determined whether this was a hate crime. They believe it started as some sort of domestic dispute between one or more of the victims. CBS News special report, I'm Monica rix. News time, two 32. Well, the recent storms cause quite a bit of damage to agricultural fields along the central coast, but as kcbs Jennifer Hodges reports, officials say it's too hard to tell at this point what the extent of the damage means for consumers. In the case of strawberries, some fields were completely submerged in water. You can actually have an impact on production for those plants. One a doggo is the agricultural commissioner for Santa Cruz county. The survey plants are actually quite resilient. They can actually handle being underwater is delivered or not for a short period of time. But it stands with the recent storms, it was too much. If that gets prolonged, that can be an issue, and that's something that we unfortunately have seen with this set of storms because there was no break in the weather. So we actually have a lot more water in some areas than we have ever seen before. In the case of leafy greens, different lettuce varieties they couldn't be planted because the ground is just so wet. It all goes says now it's a wait and see situation. A lot longer than what we have seen in the past may have an impact on that production. In Santa Cruz county, Jennifer Hodges case CBS.

For people to have a relatively comfortable life unknown anywhere on earth. Is, of course, cheap energy. No. It's no longer there. They took the oil rig off. And we didn't even know it. I knew when they took the, wasn't there a cross on it? Yeah. That's right. How many years ago would that happen?

Well, I'm talking actual peace officers, cops from Long Beach, current and retired, and they say that was a problem. And it's still an issue with Long Beach. They've never addressed the issue of white supremacy and mistreatment of African Americans and minorities in general. A federal judge once called the Vikings a white supremacist sang and it's interesting to me how villanueva simultaneously denies their deputy gangs, but then also says within the same breath most of the times that he has solved the problem of deputy gangs. He takes credit for implementing the first policy that bans these gangs, but it's kind of unclear what sort of teeth this policy has. We haven't really seen anyone be disciplined under it.

Alene, there's so much attention paid to share a van nueva that people sometimes forget. He has an opponent. Robert Luna, and you mentioned a bit about what Luna's campaigning on basically not being as alienating as villanueva, but what's his background? Yeah, so Robert Luna is way less known. He spent his whole career at the Long Beach police department where he held every rank, including most recently, the chief of police, he recently retired. He was born and spent some of his childhood in east LA. Growing up in east LA and I say growing up because I was born there during the chicano moratorium and the anti Vietnam protest as a 5 and 6 year old when you see deputies using force on people with batons, I don't know about any of you in the crowd. I never forgot that. Voters don't know a ton about him, so his biggest challenge will be getting his name out there. Was he involved in any controversies and Long Beach? There were a couple controversies under his watch, there was the use of a text messaging application that officers were using that automatically deleted messages and then in doing so weren't provided to the defense in criminal cases. So that was a controversy. Finally, alin, we are living in a post George Floyd world, and as I hinted earlier, debates about the funding law enforcement or doubling down on it, they've been permeating local and national politics. How much of a referendum is this LA county sheriff race on those bigger talks about reforming law enforcement? So one thing that could be a referendum on the level of sheriff oversight that people want is this charter amendment proposal that supervisors have put on the ballot in November. They are asking voters to give them the power to remove the sheriff if they agree in a four fifths vote that the person is unfit for office. So voters approve that, that would say something about the level of accountability that they want in that role. Via nueva has called the charter amendment proposal a power grab that undermines the will of the voters. So he has said that he's not for it. So we will see what happens in November. So who's expected to win? You know, that's a hard question to answer, via nueva had what was pretty widely seen as a disappointing showing in the primary where he only got 31% of the vote, that means that 69% of voters voted against him in the primary, but based on our most recent polling data, a lot of voters are undecided and the turnout will also be different in the general election. So it's hard to know what will happen.

Alin almost from the start of sheriff via nueva's term, there's been scandals that yourself and some of our colleagues at the Los Angeles Times has reported on the most recent one involved dozens of Viennese campaign donors and permits that they were granted to carry weapons in public. What did you find? Yeah, so we compared lists of donors to his reelection campaign to the list of people who have permits to carry concealed weapons. And we found that at least 50 people were on both lists. Some of them we reviewed the applications for and they gave sort of questionable reasons for needing to be armed, one donor even said that he and his boss hike to remote areas in the mountains to meditate and because there's no law enforcement readily available. He needed to be armed. So that was one of the examples of that. Or they received their permits way more quickly than the average wait time or they were assisted by two deputies who worked directly for Vienna who are now actually under investigation. Right. And here's van nuys response at the debate to this uptick of concealed carry permits. We have to go through the thorough vetting process. We have to follow rigorously state law. We get audited and the results speak for themselves. And Elaine, you were there a couple of weeks ago when sheriff's deputies raided the home of LA county supervisor Sheila kuhl, who's a big via nueva critic. What was the sheriff's justification for the raid? So those raids were focused on contracts that were awarded to a domestic violence nonprofit piece over violence from metro. So the sheriff's department is alleging that supervisor Sheila kiel had a role in providing those contracts to the nonprofit because the head of the nonprofit is her friend, Patti giggans, who also serves on the sheriff's civilian oversight commission, which has also been very critical of. So there's been allegations that via nueva is using the secretive public corruption unit to go after his political enemies and the nuevo saying that everything's above board and there's legitimate public corruption that he's investigating. When it comes to commenting on last week's search warrant, Sheila killed the supervisor made it the astonishing admission that she was alerted illegally by the inspector general and county council. So the attorney general actually is looking at that. He said that he would investigate whether she would kill and petty giggles were improperly tipped off about the raids, but in doing that, he also took over the whole case. So he now is leading the investigation the attorney general asked that the sheriff's department turned over all the evidence to their office in two weeks. And then there was a recent $31 million lawsuit that was won by the survivors of the victims of the helicopter crash back in 2020 that killed basketball legend Kobe Bryant, his daughter and 7 others. What happened there? Yeah, so deputies and firefighters took and shared photos of the crash that happened in 2020 improperly. One was shared at a bar in nor walk to a bartender at another event, firefighters were showing them off a award ceremony. It ended up costing the county more than $31 million because they recently agreed to settle the remaining claims of one of the families who sued Chris Chester who lost his wife and daughter in the crash for an additional, almost $5 million. And so the trial that just ended involved Chris Chester and Vanessa Bryant, who sued saying that when deputies and firefighters shared the photos, her privacy was invaded in a jury agreed. And what was villanueva's defense of what had happened? So veno Eva had ordered all the photos deleted when he found out that they had been taken and shared, but the problem was they didn't really do a proper investigation. No one really did a forensic look at the photo, so it was impossible to know how far the photo spread. But being aware of his whole argument was that in doing that so quickly, he prevented the photos from ever seeing the light of day and the photos as far as we know have never been published online or on social media have been seen by the families who lost loved ones. And then locally, one of the biggest scandals in the Los Angeles sheriff's department, one that predates villanueva, is this issue of groups of deputies who have names like banditos, Vikings, executioners, that many people call gangs, but Vienna insists aren't gangs. So what have both vien nueva and Luna said about these deputy gangs? For decades, there have been allegations of these groups of deputies with matching tattoos. They celebrate shootings and glorify and aggressive style of policing, allegedly. So via nueva has denied that so called gangs exist in the department. He takes issue with the phrase deputy gangs, but he's also taken credit for solving the problem or tackling the problem saying that he's put into effect a policy that bans deputies from joining groups that violate people's rights. His critics have said that this policy has no teeth and he hasn't been doing enough. And so he's been criticized for that. Luna has said that he would do more to crack down on the problem with a zero tolerance policy at the debate last week things got really heated and van nueva even suggested that Luna had ties to a similar group like this in Long Beach. North town rangers was a group that was in the Long Beach police department at north division years ago that, by the way, we

"la county" Discussed on The Times: Daily news from the L.A. Times
"Today, as part of our coverage of the 2022 midterm elections, while LA county's sheriff ray says about our countries evolving relationship to the people who are supposed to serve and protect us. Aline check magic and covers the Los Angeles County sheriff's department, aline, welcome to times. Thanks so much for having me here. We should start by defining what exactly does the LA sheriff's department cover because people always confuse it with the city of Los Angeles, but it's really more LA county. Yeah, the largest sheriff's department in the United States. So the sheriff's department covers the entire county, all the unincorporated areas and certain cities within the county that contract with the sheriff's department for law enforcement services. So they have 42 contract cities. They also run the jail system, which is the largest jail system in the country. So Alex villanueva won his seat in 2018 in an upset over the then sheriff Jim McDonnell and it was the first defeat of an incumbent in over a century. How did the annua pull that off? So at the time in Los Angeles, voters were really frustrated with president Trump and his hard line immigration policies. And so being a took advantage of that and really appealed to progressive voters at the time and promised to kick immigration authorities out of the jails. He visited democratic clubs and made his pitch to them and got a lot of endorsements, including from the LA county Democratic Party. And has Villanova kept those promises, he made to the progressives who helped him get elected? So he did remove federal immigration authorities from county jails and during the pandemic, he also banned transfers of inmates from jail to immigration authorities. At first because he was very concerned about the conditions at detention centers during COVID and then he eventually made that ban permanent. He also was successful in bringing body worn cameras to deputies. They are outfitted now at patrol stations with body cameras. They were a little bit late to doing that, but they did that under Vanuatu. So what's via nova running on now? So he has rebranded himself in the last year, year and a half as a more conservative Law & Order candidate. Cultural center and welcome to debate night in Los Angeles. I'm Alex michaelson alongside Erica D Smith, Oswald, barias, and we've got sheriff Alex vina wave and chief Robert Luna. Welcome to you both. Thank you so much for being here. There was a debate recently where he said that he was going to make LA livable again. The challenges have changed. Homelessness continues to grow out of control. Violent crime from the George Floyd murder Ford has just spiraled out of control. And our public corruption is rearing its ugly head. All these things require a major commitment on my part on the part of the entire sheriff's department to serve the comedian. And that is what our goal is right here. He's really trying to say that he is the one that can solve the homeless crisis and rising crime. You have a district attorney who is not prosecuting crime. His special orders are directly leaving dangerous people on the street that revolving door is prejudicing everyone. And on top of that, the defunding effort from the board of supervisor means I have less personnel. And he's railing sorted against the woke left policies that he has blamed for making these problems explode in LA the last couple of years. And that has to end, we have to revert back to a law enforcement model and hold people accountable. Where did that transformation come from? It's hard to say we started to see it a couple years ago when the pandemic happened and he has never really had a great relationship with the county leaders who all lean very left and so a couple of years ago we saw him say that he was going to increase the number of people who had concealed weapons permits. And that was sort of the start of this shift in his policies that seemed like what about his opponent, Robert Luna, what is he running on? So Robert Luna, he is the retired chief of the Long Beach police department, and he really has attacked me in awe for his relationships with the board of supervisors with oversight officials and he's saying that he's the one that can come in and be a collaborator and work with all these different county entities in order to get things done. You can not have a 77% increase in homicides the way the sheriff's department does and have a sheriff that blames the board of supervisors that blames a district attorney. That blames everybody else. So our colleague elin Erika di Smith, columnist at the time, she moderated the sheriff's debate last week, and she brought up the issue of race because activists and members of villanueva's own department have accused them of harboring animus towards black folks. The sheriff's department has had a long history of strained relationships with the black community and it comes up, you know, anytime there's a controversial shooting or a use of force that sort of sparks protests and in terms of within his own department, he has his number two actually was accused of using a racial slur that was the equivalent to the N word in Japanese and he is facing a couple of lawsuits from within the department of employees who say that they were targeted by that word and by the number two. And the sheriff in that case declined to impose any discipline even though it was recommended by an independent panel that he do so. He's also made sort of disturbing comments to yu Gustavo. Yeah, back in March, I sat down with the sheriff and we're supposed to talk about the role that Latinos play in his departments over 50% Latino, but he went all these tangents about how the LA times covers too much the black community, not enough the Latino community about how black assailants were targeting Asians more than any other ethnicity when it came to anti Asian hate crimes about how the percentage of black folks in the LA county jail was higher among the black community that was among the Latino community. And that came back to hurt him black voters have been insinuating that he's anti black and even members of his own department had a meeting with him and said, hey, we're really concerned about the comments that you made to the Los Angeles Times when it came to the black community. How should black voters respond to some of the comments you've made recently? Black voters need to respond because our department is a model of inclusiveness. As sheriff, my first month in office, I promoted African American female to the rank of division chief. I have four of the 12 are African American. I have 698 sworn employees who are African American. And so the most recent polls show that black voter support Vienna about the least of any ethnic group with Latino supporting him the most, so alin, I saw like a strategy where he was trying to portray Luna as anti black, but then also at the same time, try to portray him as not very Latino. And that was a really telling strategy. He's obviously trying to shore up his support with both of those constituencies for his reelection. Right, it was interesting. We saw him sort of Dodge questions about his own record on these issues and instead attack Luna on the same things. How should black voters interpret those comments? Well, actually, I think the better question is, how does people interpret the ren family tree? Like, he brought up an incident in Long Beach for many years ago where he accused Luna of mishandling an incident where someone had posted in the department's homicide

Caller: Life at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
"Bob, you're way out of your lane. You have no idea what you're talking about. Okay? Let me explain something to you, okay? I was on the chair of support by LA county sheriff's department. We trained everybody in the state of California. Okay, I was a training guy. And let me explain this to you. When they decided that the COVID here and all of a sudden, all these police officers left, the ones that had tenure, the ones that knew what they were doing. The ones who had the type a personality and then things changed. What happened is that they have been recruiting people in the old days ex GIs. Well, guess what? Things change. And now the people in charge, if you get in a fight before you go into the department, you're not going to make it in the academy. You're not going to be invited, okay? They want people who are passive and do nothing and follow orders. Okay? People are dramatically smaller now. Why? Because they had to take certain things out of the test. The recruitment for all departments used to have to drag a guy out of a car. It's a dummy. It weighs a 160 pounds. Oh gosh, that's too heavy. Let's not do that anymore. Okay? They just have to climb a 6 foot ball. That's not, no, no, that doesn't, we don't do that anymore. And so on and so on. Okay, people who boxing, they took it out academy, okay? Ellie county shares apartment. They run the academy for every small agency within the county. Now here's how it works, okay? You put those softs in positions. And then, like when I worked the station, you put in a policy where if you stop a black person in Compton and he goes, no matter what you did or didn't do, and he goes to your death sergeant and says, this person called me a racial name. That goes in your book, okay? Two or three of those and guess what? You'll never promote. You're considered a bad guy. All right? So guys, stop working, and more retirement. Here,

"Jim doman, welcome. Hey, it's great to be here. Praise the lord. What a cool thing to meet you. Well, you are more than kind. I got to tell you, when I heard your story, listen, one of the things one of the reasons I do what I do is because I know that we live in this kind of sick, secular, leftist culture, where you hear certain narratives over and over and over again, and then you don't hear the other side of the story. Correct. And we don't exist. We don't exist. Well, yes, like people like you don't exist. And I thought, you know, anytime I have an opportunity to get stories out there, like your story, I said, there are people whose lives depend on hearing your story. And I want to do everything I can to get your story and stories like yours out there. So I'm happy that you've written a book. It's called not a mistake. Parents hope for their gay son. Not a mistake. Okay, let's start at the beginning. Sure. How'd you grow up? When did you find that you had same sex attraction? What is your story? And again, the book focuses not a mistake. But Jim, tell us the story. Well, I grew up in a Christian family. Eric, every family is dysfunctional. Every family. We're all in need of a savior's name is Jesus, but our Christian family was on the side of the functioning and not dysfunctional. My dad was an LA county sheriff. My mom, a school librarian at a Christian school. And so we had a very solid, healthy Christian upbringing, go to church, Sunday Night, or Sunday mornings, Wednesday night church involved in youth group, children's programs, kind of your typical Christian, all American family.

Dinesh Reveals Why the George Gascon Recall Effort Failed
"If there was ever a horrible sorrow oriented DA, it is the Los Angeles district attorney George gascon. He is cut from the same cloth as Jessa boudin. It doesn't have the same exotic family history. Whether underground and being raised in Cuba, having gone down to Venezuela. This is Jessa boudin's sort of unique bio. By the way, a lot of that bio left off of his resume. But this gascon guy is the same type of guy. A leftist, kind of the criminal's favorite DA. Almost like a cult hero to career criminals. And someone who has broken the hearts of many parents and families that have lost people to attacks and to assaults and to murder and so a recall effort was launched against gascon. And I'm sorry to report to you that it has failed. It has failed due to the sheer incompetence of the group that was putting the recall together. By the way, this was a group run by a woman named Cassandra vandenberg, this woman should be chased out of politics. But they raised $8 million. So plenty of money, they had to get signatures and the problem was they submitted 750,000 signatures and more than 195,000. Think about almost 200,000. Were found to be invalid. Now, there are some conservatives who are blaming the, oh, this is the case where they're suppressing their look at the Democrats. They're challenging all these signatures and they're blaming this guy named Logan, dean Logan, who is the LA county registrar. But this is the case where Logan is not to blame.

Dr. Anthony Fauci Can't Keep His Story Straight About COVID Lockdowns
"LA county now has people there. The most left wing of the left wing saying we're not doing masks anymore. We're not doing lockdowns anymore. Doctor Fauci himself is now trying to get out from under the fact that he was the one demanding lockdowns. Take a listen to this, would you please Fauci? It's cut number one. I wonder if you would recommend locking down schools if you had to do it all over again. Well, you know, again, it's first of all, I didn't recommend locking anything down. You're asking me questions you're talking about the CDC is the public health agency that uses their epidemiologists and their science based approach to make recommendations. It was a decision to make a recommendation to the president. It wasn't my decision that I could implement. And when it became clear that when we had community spread in the country with a few cases of community spread, this was way before there was a major explosion like we saw in the northeastern corridor driven by New York City metropolitan area, I recommended to the president that we shut the country down. Okay, so I didn't recommend anything and then I recommended something and I didn't say that we should shut everything down and then I said we should shut everything down.

Los Angeles County Says 'No' to Indoor Mask Mandate Following Backlash
"And a victory, believe it or not in Los Angeles County. Los Angeles County leaders, the board of supervisors they call them out there. Had said they were going to mandate indoor masking requirements again. It was going to happen. I don't know if they were fighting COVID or fighting monkey pox or I mean, I just I don't know. I don't know what the crisis of the day is. But you know what happened in Los Angeles County? Leaders of cities in Los Angeles County said, no. We will not enforce a new mask wearing mandates. Now let that sink in for a second. Because if government leaders were you are where I am had said something like that, you might say, well, you know, that's just how it is here. I look at my governor, governor Glenn youngkin here in my beloved Commonwealth of Virginia. And I know Glenn youngkin is committed to empowering parents being responsible. So I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if governor youngkin said, hey, this is on you. If you want to do that, that's up to you. In fact, that's what he said since the very beginning. But Los Angeles County, does it get more far left wing than LA county and California? I don't think it does. So the far left wing leaders on that board of supervisors say, yep, we're bringing back masks. But leaders of cities and towns inside of Los Angeles County said we will not enforce a new masking mandate. That's a huge victory. I'm telling you right now, that's like, that's like an unexplained outbreak of common sense.

"Let's get back into some news at hand and this is a subject matter. I'm extremely passionate about and I was so infuriated when I heard the story and I think we have the clip from the police officers in LA or right outside of LA there were ambushed and murdered and it literally made my blood boil thinking about the fact that that thug that criminal who should have been behind bars, but gascon decided to give him a plea deal. A plea deal, he had a fear of gun charge, let a suspect or a person should have been in prison and with the three strike rule, he would have been instilling prison. But they let him do a plea he did no time in prison. He gets out, he calls police to the scene, and then he ambushes them. Kills them, murders them. One officer had over 20 years on the police department and the other officer was a rookie. He had less than a year. He probably was an FTO. Meaning he was infiltrating program, meaning that the older officer was training him to become a new officer. He had just started his service. It was murdered by thug that should have been in jail. Somebody explain this to me. Chess of Odin or whatever his name is bodun, bodin, they got him out of there in San Francisco DA. Soft on crime, DA's. Literally pacifying criminals so they can get out of prison and come rape and pillage your community. So gascon and his leadership let this fool out and he murdered two of LA's finest.

"It bothered me so bad. To see people being so ignorant. And now that more information is coming out, you realize that there's a lot more to it. The police chief was in the action. He wasn't sitting back Colin shots. He was trying to open the doors. They reused the keys, none of the keys worked. They were actively doing something the whole time. Unfortunately it took way too long. But if you don't understand policing, you will never know this stuff. It's not the movies, ladies and gentlemen, it's not the movies. We're just so after in Maryland, there was a shooting at a warehouse. In the cops got their people were already dead. The cops are not sitting out in front of your house, waiting for a shooting to occur. And it takes them a little bit to respond. And in this situation, the guy went on a massacre. Now, I'm not trying to absolve the chief of, you know, I think he may have made mistakes in hindsight. But my God, when you there at the scene, why did he throw his radio down? Man, that man was thinking about I'm going to die, I'm going to kill him or he's going to kill me in an instant. Something I'm going to live or die right here. Through his radio down, he couldn't use it in the hallways anyway because you don't want the killer to know exactly where you had because then he start busting at you. That man may have thought, and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Why should I? Why should I? He may have thought this is it for me. You know, I'm a do a tactical dump of this radio because this is about to be it. I'm a killer be killed in this instance in this moment. But, you know, a lot of people came out against me. Still probably don't agree with me. It's fine. I knew they weren't just sitting there hallway. I been in policing long enough to know that you can't find that many cops that are afraid. And then they mad at you 'cause the cops will trigger happy and honest and then you say they're afraid. They really, they really don't like police like they say they do. There's a difference between liking police and supporting police. There's a big difference. You listen to the off state of show, hold the phone, I'll be back after the break. Officer Tatum show. Brandon Tatum, the left ain't seen nothing yet. 1211 7. I got one detained. Another suspect run of southbound. Black shirt blue jeans. Biracial mail need units instead of quads. You listen to the osteo show. It's the last segment, man. I'm gonna go, I'm about to go home. Y'all really go home. Y'all probably already at home. I'm about to go home. I got like 5 minutes left. But I want to finish this strong. I got a couple clips because Jim Jordan, you know, hey, I don't know if they actually doing nothing, but they sound good. Jim Jordan has been standing up for truth for a very long time in my personal opinion. And I love it when I hear him say things that resonate with the American people. I just wish that actions would follow what some of these Republicans are saying. Role clip two. It certainly didn't get those answers because Nancy Pelosi refuses to answer any questions or let the sergeant of arms testify who was there at that time. I think miss stefanik and mister banks are right. This was a partisan production put on by the former head of ABC News. I don't think we learned anything new. I mean, for goodness sake, they had a Democrat staffer giving a timeline on video and if a Republican staff were wearing a committee and we put them on video and let them talk for a sustained period of time, can you imagine what the press would say? So I think the country sees it for what it is. It's a partisan political committee. The American people are focused on a whole lot of other issues. The three. Let me clip three. For a committee that meets on Capitol Hill where there's not an opportunity for cross examination. The majority party gets more members on the committee. They get more witnesses, but the minority party always gets a chance to bring in a witness or cross examine the witnesses that the majority brings in, except in this committee. This is the, this is worse than what Adam Schiff did with the 2019 impeachment in the bunker in the basement of the capitol because at least we got to be in the room and depose the witnesses, and then when they had hearings, at least we got to cross examine the witnesses. That's not happening here and it is just a production selectively pulling out information that we get no chance to see, presenting that to the American people in a completely partisan fashion. And again, you just went through how bad the inflation is, 41 year high inflation. I think the American people kind of care about what's in their paycheck and what they can buy with their paycheck, but instead we get this prime time. Jim Jordan, I love it. I love it. I love it. I love what he's saying because I like that the Democrats are doing this to be honest. I think they're out of touch. I ain't worried about no January 6th when your gas is out of control. Ain't nobody January 6th, ain't helping you buy that chicken. That chicken, that chick gonna be $14. And January 6th ain't gonna mean a dog on thing to nobody in America. You lost your job because of the pandemic, but January 6th. These politicians have to be smoking crack. And they think you're gonna fall for it. I'm actually glad they're doing it.

"This is the officer Tatum show. Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, ladies, welcome back to the officer Tatum. Show. So much stuff going on. You've already independent school district consolidated independent school district chief spoke out about his involvement, I'll be reading more in the break about what he said, but a very interesting a lot of people are going to have to eat crow, many of them are going to have to apologize, which they will not. Because they prejudged the situation and they said that the man was a coward, according to his statements, and there hasn't been a contradiction from anybody that's doing an investigation. The court of his statements, he was at the door. He's one of the officers at the front line. He's one of the officers that attempted to go in the room and they could not breach the door. And I don't know how many times I have to tell people this, and I'm hoping that people listen that you can't just open a classroom door either without a key or breaching tools. I don't care what kind of Jesus you pray to if the door is secured, prayers are not going to be enough for you. The doors in many schools around the country, especially the ones that you've already are fireproof and they're built so no one can get into the door. The way this situation is supposed to work is that the shooting or the shooter comes to the campus, they lock the doors, he can not get in the classroom. There is no way possible for the most part that a shooter would be able to get into a classroom that is locked. That's why he went through an unlocked door and went into a unlock classroom and went through the bathroom that was unlocked to an adjacent classroom and began to shoot. But the police chief came out and made a statement and it makes sense to a certain degree why some of the things happened that happened. When you asked me a former police officer that, you know, as people just standing outside of the room, just letting kids get slaughtered. That never sound right to me and it shouldn't have sound right to you if you know anything about law enforcement, anything about law enforcement response. Just like my friend Mike the cop said the other day, you can't find 17 civilian cowards in one place. Somebody can be getting attacked across the street from my house. And a lot of these people that live near me are probably in their 60s and 70s. There would not be 15 people standing in the street doing absolutely nothing. If somebody was dying, kids are getting killed in a classroom or a school. I guarantee you you couldn't put 17 calories together who have never done anything tactical in their lives. Let alone put together 17 people who have been in life and death situations probably on a day to day basis, wearing a uniform. It's not the first rodeo. And then what made me mad too, is Bill, I think it's named Bill Maher, came out and made some statements about policing in America. And that once in a while, they have to put their life on the line and all it's so crazy stuff. He should be ashamed of himself. What a coward. He would never put on a badge in a uniform and do anything tactical. Save in somebody else's life is probably not in his repertoire. However, I really, in the break, I'm a finish reading. I hadn't had a chance to read his full statement, but a lot of what I've been saying, what I've been trying to convey to people is being revealed. That you value independent school district police chief did not get the call. He did not get the information that there was kids calling in. So how is he supposed to know that kids are calling in and whispering to the dispatcher in the dispatcher that information was never relayed to him? And then there was a statement that he made and said he didn't know he was supposed to be the one in charge. Now, that's another dilemma that we have to talk about. Because when you are on the scene, there's an incident commander that's assumed, right? The leader of the scene, obviously if you the chief, you will be assumed as the incident commander. Now, if you happen to be the chief and you are involved in a shooting, someone else has to take incident command because you can not have incident command of the scene, make calls if you are actively involved in a situation. And I'm not blaming anybody on this because when you have agencies, federal and state and municipalities coming together and counting coming together to come to a scene where nobody's radios are connected, how we patrol radio is not connected to you via the dispatchers. Border patrol is a federal agency. They're not connected to highway patrol. You could go down a list of every agency that responded, their radios are not on the same frequency. So chief the chief was saying something on the radio, the officers arrive and have no idea what's going on. From the sources that I have of people there at the scene, they said it was a chaotic that nobody could communicate with each other via the radio. And when they all got on the same channel, so many people are trying to talk they're talking over each other. It was a cluster. And that's not abnormal because this was a perfect storm created. This probably will never happen in the history of our country ever again. The chances of a town of 16,000 people having a person from within the town be able to acquire that many guns and ammo without ever being found out and going to a school that just so happened that the back door is not locked. Which almost every school in the district I know it's a requirement that they have to have those doors locked. They have to be able to close on their own and secure. You're not supposed to prop the door open with rocks and other things. They're supposed to be secured. Now I'm not blaming the teacher because, you know, it happens all the time. You're going to prop the door open. That's just the way it is. People are not going to have to use that key every single time and I'm not blaming the person because they probably been going for 35 years popping that door open and nothing has ever happened. But in a perfect storm, an evil storm perfected by evilness, the back door just so happened to not be latched. The killer gets into the school, just so happened, the room, and this is something somebody told me, I don't know if it's verified. The room that he went into was his homeroom class, when he went to Robin elementary. He goes into the first room, that door isn't locked. Now from what I heard, he shot into the first room left the room tried to get into another room across the hall, and that door was locked. He shot around at the door, could not get through the door. So he went back into room one 12, and then went through the bathroom into the room, one 11, and began to shoot the kids there. At that point, the police officer showed up two minutes later. And a shooting ensued between the police officers and the suspect. He barricaded himself, they were not able to breach the door. Now let me just say this quick fact and then we're going to talk about the January 6th hearing, maybe in the second segment coming up and I have a really, really special guest that's coming on. Chief Vietnam, the LA county sheriff. I say chief. He's a sheriff. The other county sheriff, chief as he keeps saying chief. I want to say chief, I'm used to achieve. I'm not used to sheriff. But the LA county share of Vietnam whoever is going to come and talk to me at the top of the hour, we're going to talk about everything that you can think of. I really enjoy talking to other people who have worn a badge and Vietnam has worn a badge long as probably as long as I've been alive. So it's going to be a great conversation at the top of the hour. I want to play a quick clip from the independent school district police chief. So you can get a glimpse of the things that he said, or at least a news clip of.

"They came at your request, but then as the months passed, law enforcement, all of a sudden, weren't as nice anymore. I never envisioned becoming a cycling advocate or an educator by any means. I had friends around me that helped me accomplish that. The group grew from 8 people to over 400 people as I was exploring the community and seeing things. I also came across a lot of discrepancies on how bicyclists got treated. Most of the group from the eastside bike club were Latino. There's been instances where we've got stopped in San Marino, south Pasadena, Alhambra, temple city, Monrovia, on and on and on. And I really seen some bad incidents that frustrated me so much and I said, how could this be happening? And that's when I started talking to politicians, started showing up at city hall, started going to police stations and talking to watch commanders, lieutenants, captains, because of all the problems they were having regarding cyclists and law enforcement. And the lawsuits that were going on, they decided to create LAPD bike task force, and I was one of 9 civilians that was invited to be part of this core group. What year was that? That was in 2009, chief branton tried to establish us as a liaison between the LAPD and the cyclist because of LAPD would come on, what they were trying definitely wasn't working that was just ending up with a lot of lawsuits. That was back then. Now we're in 2021 and my LA times colleagues do this big investigation. Delhi county sheriff's deputies, not LAPD. That's a whole other department, the deputies are stopping and searching Latino cyclists at disproportionately higher rates. How did you another cyclist feel hearing about that news? We were so disappointed, you know, I reflect back. I just got it's over ten years. And it still happening. We have gained some progress, but there's still a lot more to go. I did read the report on the LA times and I honestly found it to be pretty accurate on the discrimination because we've experienced I've seen it with my own eyes with members of our group. So how does this harassment stop? Collaboration, getting people that are an opposite ends of the fans to come in and start dialog. And trust me, it's not easy for a civilian such as I to tell law enforcement how to do their job. They don't want to hear it. They are the officials. They're the ones that know the law. They're the ones who cite you for it. But in many instances, we've seen that the police officers within the same agency and within the same division, they would interpret the law in different ways. So a bunch of us got together. There's activists named Stephen Bach. He actually created the cycling Bill of rights and it was introduced into city hall. The cycling Bill of rights was something really big that changed the landscape. Carlos, thank you so much for this interview. Thank you. And that's it for this episode of the times.

"Carlos Morales is the founder of east side bike club in Los Angeles, a group dedicated to empowering Latino cyclists and giving them a presence in the city and county. He also owns Stan's bike shop in a zuza, California. So if you hear any clanging in the background, it's because people are working on bikes. Carlos, welcome to the times. Thank you very much. Your life is bikes, all bikes. So how do you get into this life and how did it lead to you creating the side bike club? Back in 2008, the doctors, Carlos, your morbid obese, at the time, I wait 400 pounds. The doctors words were saying part of if you don't lose weight now, you know a lot of people and those people are gonna be at your funeral. And that's when it really hit hard and then I started to get on a bike in northeast Los Angeles. And I asked my Friends that I need your help to ride and my initial ride started with by officers back in 2008. Streets and cities in general. They're not designed with cyclists in mind. So that's why a lot of times cyclists will be stopped for supposedly an infraction, whatever, and they don't even know that they're in fraction on anything, you know. So what is it like to navigate that area northeast LA LA county on a bicycle? What are the bigger issues? Well, actually, the issues are many dealing with motorists first of all opening the doors on you, giving you what's called a right hook or a left hook where you're coming down and they cut you off at a driveway or what have you. Another issue is education. The motorist, the cyclists and the pedestrians that we have to live together on the streets of LA, the third element is law enforcement. Carlos, you've talked about how friendly police were with you on the east side bike clubs and I go run..

"We found that a lot of the people we stopped in neighborhoods were riding on the sidewalk, which is actually illegal in an incorporated areas of the county. And so they were stopped for riding on the sidewalk more frequently in areas with few bike lanes. And so many of these neighborhoods are home to predominantly black and Latino, lower income residents and east LA, for example, nearly quarter of bike stops were for sidewalk violations, which was one of the highest rates in the sheriff's jurisdiction. And only 1% of streets in east. So I have bike lanes. So bike lane access and infrastructure is also a really big factor in this. You know, we went to linwood, where there are no bike lanes at all in about 16% of all stops were for sidewalk violations there. So we spent a lot of time talking to people writing their bikes through these neighborhoods. We went to east LA. We went to Norwalk and linwood and willowbrook and some other places and we talked to dozens of writers who said that they'd been stopped. At least once some multiple times. You know, in many of these folks are relying on biking to get to and from work to run errands. You know, a lot of them told us that they couldn't afford to buy a car or some of the other expenses that come along with driving, maybe they had a car, but they didn't want to pay for gas on their daily commutes every day, but this choice, they said was often greeted with suspicion by deputies. So just quick on the geographic disparities. You know, across the LA county across the sheriff's jurisdiction, we found that places like Agora hills, westlake village, Calabasas, palos verdes or rolling hills estates. Richer whiter areas. There were like less than ten bike stops in those places over a period of four plus years. So when you get into enforcement and whether or not the sheriff is doing enforcement, evenly across the county, I think when you look at those numbers and you look at a place like east LA.

"An outcome then that is not good. We're going to switch now and talk about the surge in the covert delta variant. La county supervisors Chair hilda so lease issued an order saying that all county employees must get the vaccine including sheriff's deputies. The deputies union has balked the sheriff's deputies vaccination rate is pretty dismal. Where do you stand my position. We want occurs all emplacing. It backs near works. I've been vaccinated. Since roughly january february and we're encouraging everyone vaccinated. Were wearing the masks indoors and all of our facilities now and we're going to hope for the best in i think of between the voluntary vaccination wearing the mass and there's people that are going to ask for exemptions and but me as an employer enforcing the mandate. I don't think it's going gonna work. Do you understand the public concern with an agency that is charged with protecting the public thinking that there is a you know a good chance that someone who you call upon to help you might not be vaccinated and could put your health at risk this very true but we have to also consider their constitutional concerns that need to be addressed and impis or wearing the mask in the field. They're wearing the masks at the businesses. The buildings that iran and we'll make sure they adhere to that in a somewhat is not we wanna know about it for sure as we're enforcing that mass mandate but at the same time we have to protect the constitutional rights of each and every employee and that needs to be resolved. That conflict between the board of supervisors and the unions particularly ads. Voca and sei you. I'm sorry sir. What constitutional right says that you can refuse vaccine while the last time that was a. I believe a smallpox and polio.

La county sheriff alexander way but. Do you have any idea how much has been paid out in settlements to families who have been victimized by officers civilian shootings. You'd have to give me a a bracket or a timeframe for that but It's a. I believe over the last ten years i wanna say was about fifty four million but actually the bigger payout in terms liability for that part is always been traffic collisions not shootings since one thousand nine hundred ninety l. a. county has paid out roughly fifty five million dollars in settlements in lawsuits related to the gangs operating within the la county sheriff's department twenty-one million in just the last ten years gangs like the bandidos the reapers the executioners the vikings regulators in twenty nineteen the fbi was investigating whether those deputies were using gang light tactics to recruit young latino deputies and retaliating against them if they rebuffs them you have in the past downplayed the significance of those gangs and at one point called them quote a cultural norm. I will say that you used the term. Gang is a actually. That's fraught with the legal implications at the fast do not support describing them as a gangster very specific definition would again constitutes in a lot of worry about gangs as actually now that the department is majority. Latino led by latino sheriff is taken out a very big racial undertone that they must be gangs because they're latinos. So i'm gonna push back very hard against that description that anymore. Let's call cliques. Let's call them. Cliques okay. I will give him that. Let's call them cliques. Still fifty five million dollars is paid out since nineteen ninety twenty one million in the last ten years and you said you were going to address the problem and i have done exactly that no very first day in office. I removed the campaign of east. La station for his failure to do his job. Addressing these deputy clicks in fact my predecessor did absolutely nothing to aggressively root out the issues of the development these clicks and their hazing things that they've been engaged in misconduct. So we i in office. I took out east. La station captain replaced entire chain of command east la station. Ultimately thirty six people were moved out of the station. We terminated for employees. We suspended of a twenty two employees. We did everything possible on top of that. We created a policy first of his kind on the department. Dip prohibits deputies form these clicks in harming either fellow employees or members of the community in now. We're enforcing that. That was a february twenty twenty. So we're doing everything possible legally to do it. The problem is the political establishment. Specifically the board of supervisors cannot accept the fact. That we are holding deputies accountable. It doesn't so well for them. Well clarify this for me. Then you earn chavez was was put in place to to help make those moves right. Transfer those deputies and he said an interview that thirty-six transfers were voluntary some due to promotions and. he wasn't even sure how many had been aligned with the bandidos click and then the attorney for deputies who alleged they were beaten by bandido affiliated deputies. Say that only six gang members were transferred and the deputies who were accused in that beating incident. We're actually put on paid administrative leave. Is that a hard enough stance. Actually there The the comments of commander job is are not consistent with his actions or statements to our administration because a thirty six number came from him and he was given a specific instructions. What to do when he got east. La carried them out and later on if he wants to revise it that we can control the fact of the matter. Is the four defendants on that lawsuit. Were the ones that were terminated in. That is something that doesn't really fit the false narrative that they're trying to sell so we have to keep that in my relationship with the la county. Board of supervisors has been contentious from the outset. Why real simple. The endorsed my opponent. And they've been leveraging every single county permanent every single action to discredit in de-legitimize the sheriff's department in my my job as sheriff of la county. And it's not gonna work. They sued you after you reinstated. Deputy karen coleman doyen who was fired as most of us know in two thousand sixteen after allegations of domestic abuse and stocking county appeals board did uphold that dismissal you further even said the woman who made the claims and provided. The video was incredible. Do you regret that choice. Was that the hill to die on. Actually when it comes to the fourteenth amendment and due process yes you have to follow the law. You have to follow where the evidence takes you and if the process were manipulated per abused or someone who has what they call them exonerate or exculpatory evidence in that is hidden from the civil service commission that is a very serious activist comic actually rises to the level of criminal conduct and they were okay with that because the end justifying the means in the eyes of the board of supervisors that is not acceptable. You have to be a good employer if you terminate people has to be based on 'cause you have to have the evidence to support it if you manipulate the process for.

"I noticed last thursday when the announcement was made by the la county health department that we'd have to mask up again indoors beginning on the weekends. One of the first hacks to respond was la county. Supervisor he'll disa- lease she also went on. Abc's this week. Yes national television because this story made national news that la county is reinstating a mask requirement and talked to martha raddatz. Here's part of that interview. Let's start with clip on you know when we look back in the last seven days. Obviously a whole lot has changed. And i can tell you that the very is very transmissible substantially and at the time when Almost a month ago when all this was was Declared that we were opening up. The numbers weren't that high. But now obviously as you've reported and other news organizations we can see that in the last few days were up to almost nine thousand nine hundred cases and over four hundred and sixty individuals that are now in our icu. units this very disturbing and of course as responsible elected officials. We have to do something in this case. The county has the ability to do that through our health order through our health officer. And i would just say that I don't. i'm not pleased that we have to go back to using The mask in this manner but nonetheless it's going to save lives and right now that to me is what's most important. I can't take is not stopped. i can't take it. you're not saving any lives by having vaccinated people where masks that is so extraordinarily stupid. I don't think a word exist. Described the depth of stupidity of that statement vaccinated. People are not spreading the disease. They are not a danger. Unvaccinated people spread it unvaccinated. People should be forced to wear masks. And it's easy to check with a paper card or an electronic record period full. Stop to quote a great philosopher. There's nothing else to this. Everybody's got proof. Show the proof you then. You wear the masks. But we are not the problem and i don't care about unvaccinated people. I don't period full stop. You had six effing months to get the vaccine. You still haven't..
