You cannot make this stuff up here in Hollywood. My dear friend Robert Kovacik from NBC LA / NBC Southern California, is now an official "legendary icon" in the making ....

While I was covering an eye opening budget session at Norwalk City Hall, Robert literally found himself in the middle of a total bizarre car chase between members of the LAPD and a guy who was driving a tow truck. Huh. A tow truck? Are you kidding me.
This is from tonight's NBC Southern California website about the incident...

"Ambartsum Sarkisyan, 31, was booked Tuesday night for assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer after surrendering himself to Glendale Police following a two-hour pursuit through the San Fernando Valley and Hollywood, according to LAPD. Sarkisyan was driving a tow truck during the pursuit that started around 4:30 p.m. after he allegedly got into an altercation with officers at the scene of a car crash in Van Nuys, said Officer Karen Rayner with L
APD. Sarkisyan surrendered at Mountain Street and Brand Boulevard shortly before 7 p.m. and was taken into custody without incident. The driver identified himself to NBC4 as 31-year-old Hambik Sarkisyan after he was arrested. Shortly after 6 p.m., he spoke with NBC4's Robert Kovacik at a stop light..."

I called Robert to congratulate him tonight on his cell phone....

I will be sending him a care package with lots of hand sanitizer in the morning.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
