The arrest of Roman Polanski in Switzerland

Are fairly -- lose more -- today's action in firing the missiles -- in the eyes to those who say. Diplomatic efforts in agreement in inspection for going to change. The wave of Iran is going always it's a good idea. Look somebody me and have changed have a conversation. Before there's. -- 6172666. Years of experience strong countries and strong presidents talk to read this. I'm -- about it they'll run it Cuba and Venezuela. These countries are tiny and they don't pose a serious threat to us.

And now with this I have three. That he would have. Who to have the capability to be reached he's -- fit -- thought.

Kinda -- just doing from a new -- world headquarters building the -- is floral. It's Monday how exciting another week. When you think if I was a crazy on this. Sunny and nice on Saturday Iran saying if I. When I was a nice -- need anything.

They've been put enough anyway amateur in the summer to sometime all sorts of things pile up of cleaned -- a lot of junk. Which is which is great no -- thing when I say it's it's been crazy couple of days. The situation over in Iran with a missile I know that's not going to be -- topic but crooks a year -- as a nice open their missile remind us. Of some of the things up president said during the campaign trail his. Dismissal of a certain countries. And some of their intentions and now while we find that they have another secret atomic uranium enrichment facility. They were there wasn't a secret and Indy we've known about it for years well PM but it was some people known about a -- we were told about it just over the past Ina few did those kind of -- Dulles there was there -- I naproxen are about a since she was sworn. And Ben -- acts like it's some big revelation out. -- absolutely hit something it felt -- I don't know what it must be like to be living in Israel but it it just became even more. Difficult and then bill Morris a Bill Clinton had a long in every essar with one on one of the Sunday shows -- which one it was so tedious. Half a high and he he doesn't raise his voice he just sucks like that's the whole time as a statesman I guess he just doesn't have to put much effort into because there was so excited to hear it pesticide. So he was given little advise sun on pick and a women listen this always think it's a good idea. If possible. Who looks or money in the and have a chance have a conversation. Before there's a total breach.

CNN that he can you start the conversation this is that so he doesn't now anyway as soon as Becton economics and Toronto there -- other ways to get things going. There are a lot of they'll. Bill Clinton its own I say I'm back with half a they actually asked him who you know what's your lawyers are -- Mean US Chris Wallace. -- have Chris you know anyway he actually asked him whether his considering another. A return to public life running our -- lost something you're used chlorine and -- kind of question is. Actually I actual low what I am doing right now. Even though I can impact as many people. Helm --

Influence over. There we go he's a great -- squeezes statesman announced that it was driving polished yet he likes it step by he's raised billions of dollars it's unbelievable how much money is trying to -- and -- former presidents are capable don't work well with one exception. Jimmy -- could not. Literally could not run a shoeshine stand but format other than -- former presidents are capable of doing many many things in you know once they step out of the arena where this so much strife and and venom. And things along those lines once they step out of the arena generally they're considered to better human beings -- better leaders than they were when they were ripped. So is big they say George Bush for example will be the most you know -- the latest example there's big news in the Senate race. Which here in Massachusetts Joe Kennedy is in did you read isn't that great theory that -- is and and this is the first candidate. We just so far up. He's a black sheep of the -- life. I. You're gonna be people -- who are just tuning in and they're gonna do is they were they in other zoned out over this is Joseph something with the -- LO NN earlier so I guess I was just -- well he's in did he lives -- data Monday is a libertarians about 37 year old.

Actually rational about policy. Now I've already sent an email -- to try to get him on the show where I think -- behind Joe Kennedy big time how he's running as an independent is any -- whiz kids supposed high tech was and we need more of those -- a politician he sure any firm -- Boston -- because Mayor Menino says that's the most important thing is the new technology you have to embrace all news dot -- that's that's why he's delete all emails. You have to hit it's a minute not a lot of guys he's pushing seventy is -- It being -- the I guess he's in the six a lot of leaders at that age. Are not so high tech savvy that they know enough to double delete area melts to try to get off the system. But there is an -- up but Joe Kennedy is a high tech quiz kitty gonna be a graduate -- a bachelor and graduate of clock university. And a libertarian as you say and he's he's profiled a little bit in The Herald today. We're I want in my every day -- the future fat fat Joe Kennedy for US senate how what percentage of the vote do you think you'll get. Well that'll be in its restaurant I mean first I was gonna get sufficient signatures to get to the ballot and Joe Perry who's gonna say now whether he'll do whether he'll be have to do got a -- ice and I suspect that the family machine is so frustrated that -- support this Joe Kennedy they'll be able to get everybody involved. Health care reform hitched his take on it is -- right everybody hold please all thinner in grades of paper he opposes it as presently proposed. Two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need to get out of both of them. On abortion I am pro choice he says. -- And help I finally -- happened but this is interest singing insight into the Europeans which means it's an interesting insight into Washington. Because Washington is now run by the European clusters that run those who lost yet after being European -- and try to mimic. European European sophistication. Given goes deeper than any army have to look at the psychology of -- you guys like John Kerry. Feel old ripped off that there are it. Forefathers. Emigrated here and they didn't get to be born Europeans. Come and lots of bush should know I -- so they want to in their hearts they wish they could be European because European is superior. -- You woven into our our sixties liberal culture -- And so he took off. In 7879. When France took off to France is not an actual Dix in new we will need only -- United States into another French -- want to annex Jewish and -- knows I don't know what is it without I suspect it's because we have the death penalty. Screw them -- what's up via their -- in their changes and that's how they feel about the death penalty -- order a grey -- that's -- actually -- that's a very legitimate reaction but -- can't say that they should feel some sense of public a station -- why -- we're the United States -- ago they should do everything we -- market -- were also Roman Polanski ran he's been gone 32 years -- so gonna depend -- finally got arrested in Switzerland over the weekend how delightful. Is this his either the woman he raped is now in a nursing home she sold it's been so long. She was thirteen years old she says -- launched you know -- process a -- time goes on need to go through the spot. It's about the law the county the suffered I'm sorry I know some accounting the Los Angeles Alan excuse me this to Los Angeles county district attorney. Wants to proceed in this case as well he showed that is there any reason this it's a simple question any reason they shouldn't have arrested them. Why you shouldn't be extradited. -- why you shouldn't be tried in Los Angeles know there's absolutely no reason whatsoever in if -- cases gone stale lifted the testimony is though was once available -- relating notable. And all the rest of that stuff you can figure around the dynamics as they currently exist but yet he took off on the eve of his sentence. That's what happened desirable he was afraid because he they made a deal. It was supposed to be time search because he god -- sent a -- for 42 days of psychiatric evaluation trip and then he was afraid that due to publicity. That the judge who's gonna chicken out renege on the deal right that's right. So he fled to --

Again no extradition treaty -- living over there and -- moving around the continent according to the newspapers. You know without really do -- god well he he he went to get an award. For some for some of his work in film. In the U ward was in Switzerland and the Swiss authorities knew we was coming. And they are notified about -- and they they arrested him as soon as C a stepped off the plane apparently and now he's being held. There be some type of some type of legal proceeding. To see you feel agreed to world be sent back he had to the United States.

Swiss directors association branded Polanski is arrest not only are grotesque farce of justice but also an immense cultural scandal. -- explain now on his latest I cannot an immense cultural scandal -- and then you've got some. What's his name Roberts Paris down the British all -- who recently collaborated with Polanski on a film. In must've been known to the Swiss authorities -- he was that you want to criminal. Why did they let him on how soon travel back and forth freely because Polanski have a house in Switzerland is so curious now. -- wasn't arrested along time ago. But Harris says something must lie behind this is a monstrous wave to the authorities deviated really into this some -- for them to be head -- and how how I love that line.

It's not miss Frederic Mitterand he's the French culture minister and he said he was deeply shocked by the sudden arrest and he's already discussed the matter with president Sarkozy. And then it goes on to say that he -- of the directives so arrest with astonishment. Astonish -- of this. And that he -- he regretted in the strongest way this is unbelievable he regretted in the strongest way. That a new rule deal. A new ordeal has been inflicted on someone. Who has already gone through this is -- so much it's amazing the great empathy yes sympathy was the word of the -- back in August rose about. It's amazing the degree of -- That they feel for the thirteen year old girl who was raped yeah I remember about her business interest since then it's also interesting to none of how -- you having daughters how high can you imagine. How literally degraded. The the entertainment culture I usually just referred to -- Hollywood the Hollywood culture. You me in the partners of the Democrats. Some Hollywood -- show the other Hollywood they share values -- is there a similar story and I have another appalling make you skin crawl story ago last week involving Michelle Phillips. You know the -- not -- in the -- to the father was and the Mamas and confidence of John fil a maybe that's what it was okay. Yet and he routinely apparently had had sex with -- as Donna yes and he was just trying to build herself just to other family members knew about it. And it makes you skin crawl I think as I've only really does a thirteen year old girl in the east. These cultural ministers of France and Switzerland and -- videos. We're all appalled. Not we're not even a moments apparently not a moment's pause a reflection certainly not worried. Offered in sympathy or empathy for the victim it's all about pull Roman Roman has suffered enough he's -- with alcohol. In drugs and taking a sexual yeah so all your time again she's. Period.

Easy. That -- since she's been all have all these years it should just fades from memory and television generally are wrapped up I'm so excited about Roman Polanski being excited they're being arrested how are you 617. 2666860. Do object to any of this. Trooper tracking him down and having them arrested should -- be extradited should he be tried. And put imprisoned if that's what they find 6172666. -- six say there was a similar. Who the crime wasn't the same but there was a story about -- about a graffiti artist. Who was arrested and is going to jail for a couple of he's excellence. Is -- I was out all settled on weekend yes six counts okay this is the one who she's coming out of jail it's a woman you young woman she's coming out of jail I think up a new York -- some similar tagging or whatever these fools politics. It's really defenseman and destruction of property vandalism and vandalism and I think they have that story was in the global over the.

Jarvis pour -- Hester go to prison and one person talking about how barbaric it is any way to put somebody in -- cage because they you are what people off. And I assists. You know we would it between the two stories it was -- gives this beautiful liberal -- to see inside their hearts minds and.

We yet he is the polarity of the of the store issue and I reacting to the Roman Polanski wanted we're giving him a standing ovation -- about time. Let's talk about the thirteen year old girl as opposed to Romans -- ordeal the -- multimillionaire direct yes I mean he's overseas as indecent galloping around the -- over their -- rewarded -- by NL award and -- and -- everywhere he goes. Within the story on the graffiti. And I hesitate to use the word not us let's say yeah I know -- like representative graffiti criminal handle -- don't handle. With him that story. Do his reference to a group that had gone to court. On her case. On number of times and they would stand to rise in the clear sounds great wasn't the -- an -- as I read it I thought. Got some you know some sympathetic souls. They were they had a roller at the judge in the DA where a second title now being done. To -- real damage done in our neighborhood. Can time and time and time again while these people express their quote there. End quote it's ridiculous so like I thought it is an active citizen group. That's the type the citizen group that should be appraised quit and then there.

Which there should be many more of -- somebody about this yesterday about how you know a couple dozen people from some kind of special interest often protest -- the -- get on TV of and that's enough for them to get whatever they want from the legislature in terms of funding. And it is it's time for the other side to rise up and do those kinds of things -- just described.

Recall one of our earlier columns to a child who was that was a -- a very fair thoughtful columnists have Tommy you've got to understand. Most people scrape and by every single day they don't have spies SPF five minutes. To going from job want to jump to the trying to juggle the kids and soccer and homework and my wife has this overtime cough. -- a global blog as well this so much going -- it is our very difficult for ordinary citizens and that's why can't it goes it's it's incumbent on. Incumbent -- sit down -- incumbent Don incumbents. To be empathetic and thoughtful about what ordinary citizens have to go through every day they did not they don't have the time of the energy to focus in on. One particular thing and become zealots and that cause.

Are you feeling badly for Roman Polanski 617. 2666. -- succeeds Tom and Todd six AB WRKO.

Your one stop shop for everything very good -- in the world. This news Boston's talk you Ontario. Hands on the spot. Make -- decision to the state was better and it's become have been challenged. Your busy over the weekend show us the guy can play football so patriots -- to win it's irrelevant no no relevant I have veterans not a relative to bad. Although I do besides -- not taking credit for something.

Men's and then it was right there for under gravity let it slip through his hands it's right it's good football playoff purely us for so Roman Polanski. Is days scum bag it's seems to me that's when who should have been imprisoned long time ago I never understood to ease of this famous. International director -- he flees the US and 787 you know whenever west. And never comes back -- this thing has hung over his head finally he's arrested Switzerland last week. Why any turn himself in along time ago I don't see why he's such check. But you don't understand why he's an African he's she's facing -- or perhaps a very very serious and severe. Due to not severe his face and a -- short short stint in jail jail -- in order to have a clean conscience -- not to do feel like you seek around the world for your whole life now. Put an end and now he carries a rich guy thirty years have gone by when he just -- and deal with it because I suppose he found living in France and Switzerland and other places -- almost -- up to be to be comforting -- that somehow -- didn't -- LA didn't miss the forest Friday as. The -- the wildfire is the mudslides that traffic jams the pollution. He may have missed thirteen year old girls but apparently -- them or they're -- Roman Polanski is agent has said his client is in good spirits despite facing extradition US of course is he just thinks back to that day 33 years ago. --

It is it is such a degraded -- Slice of our culture and they have such a disproportionate. Impact. Mean you see it every day we I was -- OR and remote last week after we are on the the around one of her shows. She was talking about some of the new. Television programming that's up and out that's come out already this fall. Just talked about the the course and of our culture the vulgarity -- sexual position things we've talked about on a regular basis and a lot of our listeners you know. Is that -- their parents with children unlike you try to protect them. He try to shelty kids so that is an appropriate period of innocence before they can't get exposed to the nonsense the world on the nonsense. Of the Roman Polanski is but it is a constant and exhausting. Fight everywhere you go every single way -- clothes. Music.

Literature television movies it's unbelievable. -- it is constant barrage day around we we were works out so -- having dinner with friends on Saturday night. And the though with the couple had just had that's bad because. The mother had died dressed up their ten year old girl to go off to a party inches Dresser or like a character from a movie was pregnant. Oh and during god so mother of god you've got a cell mate when her husband are Holland who saw a kid with the did dressed up like -- program he went into shock. This -- therefore my daughter read socialized that. Is -- they have good for him have a staff in stay with that don't don't wimp out on now one good -- him. They all my nowadays I don't think it actually is it looks like socialization to an adult. I don't think first ten year old girl it's it's there's anything sexual about it's just. Pretending to be that which she will someday be you know give part of a woman's is good condition is to someday be pregnant. And girls think about that I didn't think it was actually that big of a deal but I thought I agree with you that it's and it's good to see people having arguments about the -- and good deceive people standing up for the idea that you don't just it's. Dive onto the slippery slope and enjoy the ride.

This is this kind of notion that somehow -- rather -- you know it was supposed to passively surrendered to this nonsense because it only goes in one direction Todd it's not as if there is a a -- he had back and forth between. Good taste. And the -- Absence of takes it -- it just slides in the degraded direction constantly -- ever lol -- ideologue of the potential long time ago but not yeah another not in this area cultures only moving unfortunately in one direction eventually -- river first but it may be not -- tragedy strikes I'm not I'm not quite so sure I'm not quite sure. Was at the late -- senator Daniel Moynihan who describe them. Our culture is done defining deviancy down one degree at a time -- and that's what it is. Wouldn't it especially after routed degrees no matter how well I'm not sure I mean you'll always have the Roman Polanski is an amidst the supposed to do a creative geniuses and real people people who'll actually. Listen to end. Mimic and accept. Is it the standards of conduct at discussed it's from like December not.

Yet they give each other and get accolades from each other pressure and money. I -- a real partnership there are lots and lots of money lots of 61726666. See what's your take on Roman Polanski his arrest is it wrong for somebody 32 years. -- statute of limitation would not apply after you've already -- in the process right right that's only before your arrested.

you read you reminded us reminded me in the in this the previous segment that. Essentially. Some judges had been dropped he had entered a plea there was going to be a sentencing agreement. In on the eve of the sentence being imposed he fled the country and he was fearful. That the judge was going to renege on the sentencing deals that had been. Struck with the prosecutors now. It you know that raises another interesting topic that we could go go down that road but it could be a lousy road to go down because it's all about the election judges -- political pressures. They feel you would not. For the most thought I think what we have here in Massachusetts is a better thing rather than having judges subject how I've changed my mind and I thank you go back and forth -- held -- to the for the first time are -- towards election higher -- like John Adams out of would be horrific horrific thing to have by judges. Subject to the pressures that we all find so. Objectionable. Whatsoever with regard to political people the political people think short term. That this subject to all sorts of narrow and -- times prejudicial. Perspectives and a judge is supposed to day. An independent think you're not there yet but they're not heat. We're using and they're not independent tankers Sloan why would like -- in the back of the political system but it's it's invisible. And it's it's hidden behind closed doors how are they in the bag once they've been appointed to a lifetime position they -- nothing to anyone does know political Lou allegiances subservient to what your.

Getting the cocktail parties ha ha hah hah -- your I'm getting the desires of code of conduct which the desired -- programs dove and desire to the reflecting that did the police or your community might be some of that that might be a desire to be seen or insiders are political insiders have dire I was having this conversation with a lawyer over the weekend he was complaining about how low -- legal system basically. Is would doesn't necessarily do what's right he said the written law has very little to do with the decisions judges met through -- What final Odyssey -- not on itself too much -- EI ha ha ha ha. A lot of different kinds actually is amazing one of those general practitioner but he -- in coral live a penny said the you know day you'd be just as you're right doesn't mean the judge wants earlier -- he's got other considerations on his mind whether your writer not -- And I think. Did that that's a big problem is that did there's an agenda there any dawned on me over the weekend that the judicial branch of government. We hold like you just said we hold that we think they're above the fray because of they're they're appointed for life -- there is -- Political pressure but in reality all the judicial branch is is another branch of government equal right think about it they Telesis all the time -- it's another equal branch of government up. So if it's if you've got. Why would why are we so dumb -- walker and stressing the judicial branch because it's also sleazy and not trustworthy because the the the at the at ten media is not subject to the supplies and tell it to the would I I understand are subject to the whims. Of both the electorate as well as the elected. That you get in the other two -- nevertheless. If what you do together it's like you need that those kids they have the games for kids where they have like they have around pay gonna have to put it around a -- absolutely if you are. Indeed got to the other side of the board because. Somebody shoved it through the -- that you fit into -- Brady led to change you to get you through it -- that's how you work -- everybody there's -- be a sameness if you come out of -- political system all judges do because they give money to politicians they help politicians get elected that's our other jobs -- what they -- be independent lakers sure how to think like politician.

Well as let me ask you this slow let's pick to -- you have Stephen Breyer and -- sort of area down on the Supreme Court. -- sort of justice Calero and Thomas which ones -- polluted by the political system are all four. Polluted by the political system are all for them in the wrong way. Somewhat independent think as he might not agree what did you lectured judicial philosophy on the political friends their political sponsor us. But you've got I -- I just gave you have.

I don't know and all around them and how they rule on particular cases and why they might do it it's much these are a local level to see people responding cases for example the Kennedy case last week the interim sent the case. Nobody expected that there would be a judge who would have the courage Nomar how much the law might appointed. Towards there being no emergency and that the Democrats are scamming the system to have an emergency appointment. Nobody expected that there are the judge would rule in that way everybody expected the -- to come -- the way it is.

But I'm sure you sorrow over the weekend and the reports are written about that that in the case has it was -- you before a picture of superior court charge Tom Conley was the person who wrote the decision. That to them there's no question whatsoever that konduz the language and the utilization of that language in the testing of then just then that governors not just Deval Patrick put governors to be utilized that power. Frequently without controversy without dispute Mitt Romney I thought I read the report he used it. -- So the jet he felt now look I I can't stand what Pope Pope Polanski is involved that. But Polanski felt that the judge because of these political pressures that you were just so critical of was about to renege on the plea agreement to. And he said the mother of god this -- feeling political heat he's gonna sentenced me to four or five years instead forty days mental observation. And and took off because of it is that. Forget Polanski is that a good system with the judges feeling oh god unless I have.

You're gonna little -- and you don't want him immune down and you don't want him under the control you don't wanna sway totally Susan good morning RN WR -- comments on how are you Susan.

Good morning contact -- and it is you who has what's up well I've I've watched that I know I don't know what -- is that the the victim came on I know that -- protested everything that just has that in the financial. Agreement as well yes she was -- off -- plans to -- but data eight Belichick acts you know he still should be punished. In the whole world is watching so it was got it everybody -- principal bullet.

Yes. Well a lot of the European cultural ministers who were quoted seems to apparently just wanted to they just want to bask in the reflected glory of Roman Polanski and -- the poor he makes good movie is terrible and therefore -- raped whoever he wants this off Steve you're on WRK now.

I -- dictate the issue of beauty base should have been some political pressure there aren't -- ballot duke it out. -- It they're not interpreting. You know laws of god kicked down by the creator. Bill Lloyd that we made up that we decide to govern ourselves by. Don't do we want that interpreted certain where we want damn. You know do political pressure or public pressure to be in a third of certain way what there are laws. But he had picked up I don't but it judgement and victory nobody. I think it's wrong.

Steve let me just raise a point with -- though our view the outrage that you would feel about this case that I feel about it in the like. Is actually I think probably best carry forward by the prosecutor the DA out their at the time. Agreed to drop a couple of judges pursue a couple of others financial compensation to the victim and forty something days of medical observation -- now we you and I'm I think gee that's a silly silly outcome not not severe enough. But -- political. What disappointment. Can be taken out. With the DA as opposed to the judge. It's a -- into it. How -- view the people's view would be expressed by the people's representative by either DA the prosecute the media that he.

Rise up once -- put a little pressure on the process we don't know what all the inside information this -- because they don't do business transparently up so sometimes we just have to be RA because were irate. And let their voice be out there to be dealt with because you know where the Greek chorus keeping things honest 617. 2666868. Roman Polanski how much sympathy -- do you have for rapists being arrested. 32 years after the crime it seems to me that like an illegal aliens. Who succeeded in as staying in the country for certain number of years if there they've -- they're clever enough and smart enough. To con the system for well until they deserve a big rewarded -- Well stumper what was worried talk about the.
