| 0:00.0 | KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio Lab. |
| 0:06.4 | We are going to go right to Nathan Hockman now because he can only spend a few minutes with us. |
| 0:11.0 | He's running against George Gascon for district attorney here in L.A. County. |
| 0:15.8 | And you may have just watched or heard or read that George Gascon is going to go to a judge and try to get the Menendez |
| 0:22.5 | brothers resentenced on their double murder convictions. And it could be that they are led out of |
| 0:28.0 | prison very soon. We will, we will see. Let's get Nathan Hockman on now. Welcome, Nathan. How are you? |
| 0:35.1 | I'm great. Thank you very much for having me on. I assumed you watched Gascon's show that he put on. |
| 0:40.9 | It was quite a show. |
| 0:42.7 | What's your first reaction? |
| 0:45.9 | So, again, I don't have an opinion right now of the ultimate conclusion he reached, |
| 0:52.2 | because I don't have access to the confidential prison files. |

| 1:29.3 | In fact, by not making a decision in the last eight to 16 months, to the extent he thinks that a resentencing is appropriate, |
| 1:37.8 | he's actually denied the Menendez's the right to go through that resentencing process over the 16, or over the last eight to 16 months. |
| 1:46.8 | He also could have made this decision on November 6th, because even if he loses the election, |
| 1:51.5 | he's the DA till December 1st. But of course, he wanted to do this for a made-for-TV event, |
| 1:58.0 | because the guy is 30 points down in the polls. |
| 2:06.0 | The article is coming out show that his policies have let murderers out to murder again. |
| 2:08.1 | And he's doing his absolute best. |
