This is an I Heart podcast guaranteed human broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln radio studio the George Washington broadcast center. Yeah, I'm strong and Joe getty. I'm strong and getty and up here's I'm strong and getty in a moment or two. We need to get to the desanctification of Cesar Chavez and the shocking allegations against that famous Hispanic labor leader. But first the curator of the national gallery of art describing a beautiful and an important art painting using only Gen Z slime. This painting Cape Cud evening by Edward Hopper has me literally screaming, crying throwing up the couple. There in a swag gap relationship, absolutely speedrunning divorce. Mama has the Ixo badge. She looks like she's about to legit unalive her husband.
Meanwhile, team U Ryan Gosling is trying so hard to get that dog's attention. But the colleague is locked the F in on whatever is going down in the distance. The aura is a low key sinister. What does it mean? The artist is insane. Hopper could have been the CEO of vague posting. That's really good. That really is. Edward Hopper, though, I've gone to a lot of museums just to see his stuff amazing. Hopper. I didn't even kiss him. I don't know from how much I like you know, Edward Hopper. You know, Edward Hopper because his most famous painting is freaking everywhere. That's the people sitting at the diner, three people sitting at a late night. That's his most famous painting. But lots of stuff like that. Yeah. Okay. Great. On a much more serious note, this is relevant really for everyone. And especially Cal Unicornians, where Cesar Chavez is held as a quasi-saint, as a hero on the level of Washington Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Well he is about to be decommissioned and canceled completely. The Brown MLK. I heard him described as indeed holidays. How many schools are there named after him? It might be worth a quick AI search, Katie or Google or something like that. In California, it feels like every town's got at least one Cesar Chavez middle school or high school or whatever park, certainly a road or a park or a statue and a holiday. Hundreds and hundreds. In fact, as we outlined earlier and we'll get to the point in a second, the state universities of California don't celebrate Washington or Lincoln's birthday, birthdays, but they do say Sar Chavez. I will just read this to you. In a merguilla, remembers the day the man she had regarded as a hero called her house and summoned her to see him. She walked along her dirt trail and heard the rundown building past the secretary and stepped into his office. He locked the door as he always did when he called her and told her how lonely he had been.
He brought her onto the yoga mat that he often used in his office for meditation, kissed her and pulled her pants down. Don't tell anyone he told her afterward they'd get jealous. That man says Archivezz was one of the most revered figures in the Latino civil rights movement. He was 45. She was 13. Oh, wow. Miss Miss Merguilla said she was summoned for sexual encounters with him dozens of times over the next four years. He doesn't need to have done this to anybody else, but are there others claiming the same? Mrs. Merguilla and another woman, Deborah Rojas say that Mr. Chavez sexually abused them for years when they were girls from around 1972 to 1770, he was in his 40s and become a powerful charismatic figure who captured global attention as a champion of farm worker rights. The two women have not shared their stories publicly before and an investigation by the New York Times has uncovered extensive evidence to support their accusations and those raised by several other women against Mr. Chavez who died in 1993 at the age of 66. I assumed there would be other women. I just didn't know if any of them had come forward or not because not the sort of thing you
tend to do once, I think, when you're that sort of creep, oh, a 13 in your 45. That is freaking awful. This woman says she was so traumatized that she attempted to end her life multiple times by the age of 15. How's this just coming out now? One aspect of this and I haven't read the entire thing. It is a half a book. Good on the New York Times for putting this out there. They took on a hero of the left and are going to destroy him with this, but good journalism. Yeah. Wow. They have pictures of these very young women, these girls with say, Zarchavez. One of the gals I know I read somewhere found out that they're about to, she lives in the Bakersfield, California area and found out that they're about to name a street in his honor and it doesn't take it. I can't find that passage. Recently she learned that a street nearer home in the central city of Bakersfield was in
the process of being renamed city officials wanted to name it in honor of her abuser. It doesn't spell out that that's why she came forward, could be, I don't know. The findings are based on interviews with more than 60 people, including as top aides at the time as relatives and former members of the UFW, did these people know about it? The accounts of abuse from the two women were independently verified through interviews with those they confided in decades ago and in more recent years. Elements of their stories were also corroborated, corroborated in documents, emails, itineraries and other writings from union organizers. You know, that's not proof exactly, but yeah, if contemporaneously at the time, they're saying, say, Zarchavez pulled my pants down and had sex with me and I didn't want to. And they're still saying a decades later, I believe them. Well, that's an interesting one. Will they actually take his name off the middle school?
In your town. Yeah, yeah, wow. Yeah, well, that's the long and short of it, the details are disturbing, obviously. And then just the whole flaws of men or women who are otherwise very successful in other areas. I mean, like really, really deep flaws, obviously. Wow, this is interesting. They spoke at length with the Loris Huerta, the renowned Latina activist who helped run the farmer workers union. A lot of people think she should be the saint anyway, with Mr. Chavez and coined the social justice rallying crisis, he said, wait a loosely translated as yes, we can. She said she held on to a dark secret for nearly 60 years. One night during the winter of 1966 in Delano, California, she said Mr. Chavez
drove her to Loris Huerta out to a salute secluded grape field parked and raped her inside the vehicle. Oh my God. She said she chose not to report the assault to the police because of their hostility toward the movement. And she feared that no one within the union would believe her. She also described an earlier encounter where she felt pressure to have sex with them in a hotel room. Yeah, that would be a tough position to be in. You would recognize he's actually accomplishing something historic for our cause that I have dedicated my life to. I'll just keep my mouth shut about this awful thing so that that doesn't get derailed. That's precisely correct. Yeah, as New New York Times writes that she framed her silence at the time, not as an absence of pain, but as a kind of strategic necessity. Right. Particularly as a woman fighting for respect in the male dominated world of 1960s union organizing. Well, we all know what you know, you watched man met or watched the Kennedys back in the day or whatever. The culture at the time period and it's more so
in the Hispanic culture forcing yourself on a woman is something you can get away with, yes. That is wild. So an MLK junior, if those tapes come out when they're supposed to, is it this here next year? Next year. Yeah. 27 I think. I'm harshly anti-presentism. I'm raping a 13 year old is not presentism. No, I don't think it is. No. Is non-consensual sexual activity. Right. Yeah, that's a tough one because then you get into the he said, she said, if you have a whole bunch of people claiming it, then I suppose you could definitely come to the conclusion that they were raping people. Yeah, yeah, I'm just and listen, I'm also even more harshly against any violence toward women, especially sexual violence. I'm just thinking about the various changes in attitudes. I mean, because if you certainly would never excuse slavery, but when slavery
was everywhere on the planet in the 1700s, I mean, everywhere, I've got all sorts of interesting information about that. If you'd like it, you almost have to say, well, slavery is repugnant, but it was accepted at the time and he wrote the Declaration of Independence, for instance, or George Washington, the greatest man in the history of the world, according to George III, because he willingly gave a power, blah, blah, blah. Do you? I mean, what could be worse than enslaving people? And yet, if you're going to be fair about it and not an ego, I've got a perfect expression, but it's obscene. Someone who is merely stroking their own ego by implying, I'm a better and more honorable person than George Washington, which is what people are doing when they engage in presentism. They're trying to tell you they are a better person than the heroes of humanity. As I think it was Bill Maru, who unleashed a great screed saying, you're not better than them, you just came after them. Anyway, so, but where do you draw that line? I mean, if somebody
getting a little handsy or I told him no, but he went ahead was accepted in a society, where do you draw that line? What what gets somebody canceled and what doesn't? I don't know. It's an interesting question, though, not suggesting raping 13-year-olds is getting a little handsy. Oh, no, not at all. I'm just using some of the expressions of the time. There are quotes around there. This is audio, so perhaps you didn't see them. That's a heck of a thing. Not excusing it, just asking the question, because he did, he still accomplished the same things. Right, but seem to be a serial rapist. That's a heck of an interesting situation. Oh, it's horrible. Yeah. If you cured all cancer, this is the example I used earlier. Some guy cures all cancer, and then he turned out he was this sort of person. No, he's like the green river killer serial rapist and murder of women or like that Golgo beach or whatever that that monster on Long Island.
But there's no cancer center named after you. There's no science prize named after you. There's no nothing. I didn't know you cured all cancer. No, no. I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to pay tribute by getting the treatment, but no, no building. Science prize. I don't think you can do that. I don't think you can either. So let's, is California going to rename all those schools the Dolores Huerta middle school? Perhaps that would be a quick and easy solution. Everybody would sign on to that. I'd be on board. If you're going to, you know, stay with the same theme. Yeah. Yeah. What in a development in the year 2027? Yeah, I'll be damned. What a horrible human being. That aspect of his life, obviously.
Did his wife know about it? His kids? No idea. Probably he was given the presidential medal of freedom, by the way. Of course he was. By Joe Biden. And I had a kid care. Well, he died in 93. So Joe Biden, when Joe Biden was a senator? Post the misleading. Okay. Okay. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. He got the honor in 1994. I think posthumously. Anyway, but when Biden entered the White House, he put a bronze bust of the rapist on display in the Oval Office. Of course, he didn't know he was rapist at the time in his senile defense. Or you could have told him and he would have forgotten it. That afternoon, of course, he didn't know where he was. He was. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Wonder what his doctor or wife thinks of this. I don't know why I had to take shot at her. There you go. You're not a real doctor. You made it work there. Michael with the C. C pod wake, which is one of the funniest things she ever said.

Boss in Florida, a Republican candidate for
governor wants to bring in what he calls a 50% syntax. On whatever you so-called earn via that online to generate a seed platform. Now, political targets, only fans, women are speaking out. Before you want to tax thousands of women, just because we actually took this into our own hands, start taxing the companies that are flooding into here of Florida politician trying to start beef with me for cloud. A syntax, and what was it, 20%. 50. 50%. Yeah, it's ridiculous. That guy is, he's like this young populist fire brand who has all sorts of wild ideas. Won't get any. On the women or the companies. It sounds like the women. Yeah, it's what it sounds like to me too. You're going to punish the women. The companies make a tons of money in all the male pornographers through the years who exploited women. They got away. That's just an idiotic idea. Different states views on morality and whether or not it's legislated is interesting.
If you saw this over the weekend, Kristen Sinema, former senator from Arizona, she of the thigh high boots and bisexuality. Because she was having an affair, it turns out with her body guard. And he lives in a state it caused him to have a divorce. He lives in a state where there are home record laws. And so she had to testify to the five times they had sex in five different locations and explain the whole thing in papers because they have laws about that. Whereas in like, you know, California, anybody could do anything. And you know, nobody did. There's no crime there. It's just between you and your wife or you and your husband or whatever. But in a place like North Carolina, it's a you are a home record. I mean, I don't know. I have two minds of this thing. It's a very, very big deal of marriage. And as a huge effect on society and the individuals involved.
And the fact that you can just violate that and there's no penalty whatsoever seems crazy to me. On the other hand, I don't like the government being involved in these sorts of things. So I don't know what I think about this. But she violated some home record law blew up their family. They got kids and everything. And it's interesting. Yeah. Yeah. So he's going to get hammered in the divorce. So she wouldn't in a no fault state. Okay. Well, nothing would happen in a no fault state for better or worse. I don't know what y'all think of this. But she actually had to testify like to the five times they had sex in where? How specific did she get? And are the tapes available? And that's something though. Yeah. What an embarrassing situation to end up in, you know, it's between two individuals. Tell us about the acts miss cinema. How did they begin, for instance, was there? I don't know. Kissed. Did you ever say anything to him in his ear during
the court should be aware of? There's testimony to the effect that you're a bisexual or ever in any other women. 24 hours after Israel assassinated Ali Larjani, considered the top security official in Iran. They now say they have killed Iran's intelligence minister Ismail Khati. No, we haven't heard any confirmation or any statement about it from the Iranians. But given Israel's track record so far in the first two and a half weeks of this war, it seems very possible that Israel has assassinated another top Iranian leader and clearly stating the attempt to continue working their way down the list. In fact, Israel's defense minister said they have streamlined the process to carry out these targeted killings, not requiring approval for each name on the list. That's interesting. When they snuffed Ali Larjani who ran a ran for about two day and a half apparently, it's funny the New York Times had a feature. What to know about
Larjani? And I'm thinking, I don't need to know anything about him. And in fact, the guy who's supposedly taken over his brother, I guess, maybe what to know about him. I'm like, yeah, I'm not going to bother him if I see this. Where to send flowers if I care enough? Right. And Louis Flowers send a donation to the, you know, beard groomers of Iran society. I don't know. The beard groomers of Iran. I don't know. It closeted gay mullahs of Iran association. I don't see a different guy. But anyway, the New York Post who feels they need to have word play in all their headlines has clerical temp work and a picture of all the people that have been clerics and temporary temporarily in charge over the last couple of weeks. And then an X through them like this guy died, this guy died, this guy died. Right. This latest one is a pretty big deal. You know, actually,
my clients who we had on earlier said this might be the tipping point because this Ari Larjani was among the last big deals alive. So part of it is there. We're talking about this earlier. So Israel obviously thinks it matters. These people that are in charge of these various things to kill them and make the next person step up. But so you not only have the, you know, maybe the person in charge is actually just better at it. The reason they were in charge is they were really, really good at it. And the next person won't be as good at it. So you've got that. But also the, they got, they've got to have a Game of Thrones style who's in charge? I'm in charge. Thing going on at some level in our hand right now because somebody's wanting to be the head of the country wanting to be the I'm the military dictator that's going to take over, establish control, make a deal with Trump. And I'm going to be the king of this here country. There's got to be a bunch of people to feel that way. Well, you start
eliminating the people that had consolidated some power and had friends and have, you know, enough oomph behind them to actually do that. They start dying. I think that's the bigger deal because who's going to try to consolidate power? You haven't consolidated power? You're like third and command. You got nobody with you. All these years. I think one of the challenges is that the Republican guard has a culture, what I would call cultural coherence. They're, they're ruled as much by agreement as kind of that raw game of thrones power. The remaining guys in the IRGC are really intent on keeping it together. I can't even imagine the what that's like. Obviously, we're both guessing. What is it like on the ground where, and I don't know how their ranks work over there, but you, you've figured out the two thirds of the generals are dead. And, you know, a handful of lieutenants are dead as well. And I'm a captain. What do I do?
Am I in command over here? What, what's happening? The actual supreme leader, the weirdbeard son, probably gay, and injured has not been seen in public at all since the strike that killed his father, his wife, and his kid. And the reporting was yesterday, it was just accidental that he didn't die. He should have died. He stepped outside to take a call or a smoke. I forget what I read yesterday, but he like, he went, he went down the stairs. He was headed outside for something. If the like, he was taking a kiss break. Yes. That was it. That was inappropriate. It was idiotic. And I apologize. And it was funny. But he was headed to his car, something I read yesterday. And he just happened to be in the stairwell and all the rest of them died and he survived. Lost a leg and maybe an eye, but he's still alive. So they're kind of surprised. He was still this bearded clean off right. So he got that weirdness. Sorry. Oh boy. And he hasn't raised his head
at all. You know, there was a report briefing last week that he was in a coma, which I think it was probably a siops to get him to post something with the idea that if he posts anything, we're going to figure out where he is. Who knows? Things are still damn dougly inside Iran, though, as this report from CNN will show. Messages we've received from Iranians inside the country to scribe regime using every tool in its playbook to crush dissent. Every time you go outside and then just to go to the market, you see machine guns and douche cars heavy guns on the streets. Everyone is afraid of the checkpoints. They are basically the regime street level enforcers. People are randomly being checked. Their phones being searched. Being asked questions like, what are you doing out here? They even arrest and take them for further investigation. Yeah. So they're still patrolling the streets and looking for anybody who's going to try to get a protest going, here's one Iranian man. He was doing this interview in a dark room with a mask
gone in his voice disguised. I don't know what will happen and what is waiting for us. People are only following the news and the atmosphere that currently exists among people is a very exhausting one. It's an atmosphere filled with fear and terror, but hope is very prevalent among many young people. Yeah, we keep talking about what's it like for all the leadership and their ability to communicate and wonder what's going to happen next and who's in charge. How about just your average Iranian citizen who hates the government always hates the government has their own personal story from family members of, you know, they they're nothing they'd like more than to kill everybody in the government, but you can't come out of your house. You can't communicate with each other. You can't talk about it out loud. You can't get any information from the outside from the the internet's closed down. I don't know what it's like for them. I don't know. It's got to be terrible because they're desperate for freedom of some sort but terrified. I mean, the bloodletting by the regime remember it dwarfed Tiananmen Square. Yeah. It made Tiananmen Square look like nothing
the slaughter in the streets of Iran. It was a serial level. It's one of the all time put down of your own people demonstrations in world history, modern world history certainly. Yeah. She got all that. That's very, very interesting. Then you got the free beacon headline. Thanks, Katie for sending this along. Supremely progressive. Iran becomes first nation in the world, history led by a gay amputee. Manking his got him sitting there in a wheelchair wearing a rainbow scarf. That's funny. The rest of it's not. Yeah. What a situation. Where is this going? So you got that guy, Joe Kent. Was that his name that resigned yesterday? He was the director of the counterterrorism center saying Iran's not a threat. Yeah. Tucker is lauding him as a hero and the bravest man he knows and blah, blah, blah. The rest of the world saying this guy's wrong about everything. He's a crack pot. Yeah. So I was just reading Mark Halperin's piece about
how the, I was going to call it the war room that goes back to the Clinton days where they had a media war room to take on any stories so they can squash them really fast or get their version out really, really fast. During war, you probably shouldn't have something called a war room unless it's dealing with the war. But so their media response room there at the Trump people and I don't know if they knew this guy was going to go rogue or something like that, but they, they flooded social media with bad, true stuff about this Joe Kent guy. So I do think it kind of squashed the story throughout the day because as they got out, look, he, he, he, um, he called the January 6th protesters political prisoners. Okay. He's one of those guys. So hey, MSNBC don't get too excited about this dude and, uh, you know, all kinds of things, crazy things he's said and done throughout his life. So they are able to keep that quiet. And according to Mark Halperin, it was also a message to, hey, anybody else who wants to make a big noise about how anti-war you are inside the administration.
This is the way we will come after you. So I don't know. We'll see if that works or not. He, he does seem to be a nut. Trump appointed yet another nut. He's appointed several nuts. He appointed another nut to get that crowd, uh, you know, on his side inside the tent and he, you know, he paid a very minor price for it when the nut revealed himself to be a nut. Um, and that Joe Kent person as Joe just said is going to be on Tucker today and Tucker's going to give him three hours to explain his nonsense. Uh, yeah, millions and millions of views I guarantee. Yeah, we got, uh, we received a number of emails from, uh, Washington stateers, uh, Jim from Vancouver, Joe Kent was a retired war hero. It lived in my district ran for, uh, rap a few years ago. Absolutely a war hero. Support from Trump at the time lost to a liberal Democrat, uh, sadly, Kent has changed over last year and I'm not sure what caused the change. Then this from a Terry Joe Kent is from Vancouver where he ran from Congress a few times lost. He is very hardcore, right? I'm a strong Republican,
even I was a little turned off by some of the things he said. However, I would have voted for him in a second over the Democrat, but I definitely can see him as part of the Tucker Carlson crowd. And then this from, um, well, his theme with his resignation is that we're dancing at the tune of Israel. Israel and their lobby was powerful enough to get the United States to go to war because Israel wanted to. That's what he and Tucker are going to bond over today. Uh, let's see. And then this from, uh, we'll call him Jim, uh, ran for a seat in eastern Washington, but he was too effing Gungho Maga and the Democratic candidate, of course, appeared moderate, uh, too dumb to appear moderate to the general. Uh, don't get me starting on this guy. He's such a blanking empty shell of, I'll say whatever it takes to get Maga votes and now he sees the right is turning. He was all over Tucker's show when he was running for office, which is probably why he lost. Okay. Thanks for that note. Um, yeah, it's, uh, I'll watch part of that Tucker episode today.
Yeah. See his whole, you know, I could quote, who is this, uh, Eli Lake, who's wrote a great piece in the, uh, free press about this guy in his beliefs. Um, and, and he points out, we, know, after he resigned to Trump told reporters, I always thought he was a nice guy, but I always thought he was a weak on security, very weak on security. When I read his statement, I realized that it's a good thing. He's out because he said Iran was not a threat. Every country recognized around was a threat. And Eli points out this, of course, raises the question of why Kent was hired in the first place. Yeah, you always thought he was weak on security. I think I'll put him in charge of the counterterrorism center. If anything, Trump's remarks understated the flaws and Kent's perspective, his resignation letter reads like a comment on a Nick Fuente's live stream or a column in a Iranian state run newspaper. He writes that quote, high ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign to deceive Trump into the war. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. And it is clear
that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It goes on. He writes at one point that his first wife, Shannon Kent, an army cryptographer, died in a war manufactured by Israel. She died in a suicide bombing near US base in Syria, part of a deployment first authorized by Obama, who's no close friend of Israel in the war against ISIS. If Kent was referring to the O3 Iraq war, he is asserting that a war authorized by a partisan vote in Congress, which Israel's prime minister at the time, counseled against, was somehow caused by Israel. And that is very well documented. Israel did not like the Iraq war. They told Bush don't do that. Iran's the threat in the region, not Iraq. And then Eli Wright's never mind the entire anti-Semitic trope that posits the Jews exercise secret control over government banks and the media. The claim demonstrates a blankered view of recent history and foreign policy making. And it goes on. But that's probably enough of that. Where's the one-legged game, Moa, a supreme leader? Where is he?
Heiden Underground somewhere? Yeah, yeah, literally underground. If there's an underground parking garage under some mall in Tehran, he's at the bottom level. And it's behind a pillar quivering. And based on the story in the Wall Street Journal, they had surprised Israel doesn't know because they talk about these various people they've chased to, I mean, they had a plan, these these high ranking Iranian officials, albeit a tent out in the desert if the S ever goes down and Israel knew that and killed them. One guy who went and hid in a sports stadium, which is a pretty clever idea, who would ever think of that? And they blasted him. They knew this. How did Israel know all this or we knew all this combination? They've got a zillion informers. Apparently. Hey, I just saw, you know, Makmud, Makmudavitch. He's now the guy running the the Basige. He just walked down the street. He's on fourth and Elm right now, Kerblui. Fourth and Elm. For instance, yeah, we got some responses to the
the story that we're about to cancel Cesar Chavez as a country. He's, he's canceled. He's done. You're going to take him out, rapist. You're going to take him off your kids' middle school among other things. We got responses to that. We'll get to that at some point. Lots of stuff on the way. Stay here. The truth, Ferry is paying out more than last year because the average value of a single lost tooth has increased by 17% according to new findings from a poll. Well, they have officially found the world's creepiest pollster. I don't know what a tooth goes for. My kids are past they lose in their teeth age. So I don't know what tooth goes for these days. I'm out of touch myself. We need to dive into this and if we're going to get to it, there's an extra, there's an old line from a Bob Dylan song. I really like steel little and they throw in jail. Still a lot and they make you king or governor in the case of California, the most corrupt state and union probably William Lodge, Nessa Fox News here. What's the line for?
What demand describes is illegal. Paying people to sign a petition for a ballot measure. You have to have your ID. I'm not sure. Homeless and others lined up last week in San Francisco, apparently to collect $5 to sign a petition to qualify two initiatives for the November ballot. One to fight a tax on billionaires. The other, I'm pension reform. I'll get $5 soon. Yeah. And what is it? Just sign it. Not only that, she appears to want them to impersonate another voter. In this case, an 81 year old woman who lives more than 200 miles away. My name is going to be Carol last name. This is the address I hear from Miss Cassidy Avila Beach. Yes, so the people sponsoring those are saying those were contractors and we don't approve of what they are doing. You have to memorize the name and have the address to try to get five bucks. No, you don't memorize it. It's right there in front of you. You just fill out the form and sign it. You're playing on a certain sort of crowd if you're making them do anything for $5 with what $5 is actually worth in the modern economy. Yeah, the actual act because they showed it
