1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Can if I am six forty, you're listening to the

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: day from one until four o'clock. After four o'clock John

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: Cobelt Show on demand the podcast and you could listen

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: to what you missed. If you're just joining us, you

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: ought to listen to the two o'clock hour. You had

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: Jake Steinfeld on Body by Jake Entrepreneur. He's a fitness

8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: mogul and I've known him for a long time and

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: he's thinking about running for a governor of California. His

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: house burned down entirely in the fire, and he carries

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: all that with him now and is realized just how

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: how far off California has gone from where it used

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: to be. Let's put it politely there And anyway, you

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: should listen to him because maybe in a few months

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: he'll be running for governor and he'll be a force.

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: Oh and I'll be on my wife's video podcast. In fact,

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: I think he can get online already and watch it.

18
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: It's Deba Cobelt Live. Debor Cobelt Live. You can watch

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: that on YouTube. And we talked about a lot of

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: the LA and national news when you get a chance.

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Carl de Myos coming on California Assemblyman. He has been

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 1: in office as an Assemblyman for just a few months

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: and he's gotten just about every Democrat and Sacramento pissed off.

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: They actually threw him off one of the committees because

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: he was pointing out all the excessive spending that was

26
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: going on. And now he's gotten the mad with Assembly

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: built twenty five, which would require you to show a

28
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: government issued photo ID when you vote in person and

29
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: provide US documents proving citizenship when you register to vote.

30
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: And of course the Democrats got really angry with this.

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: They don't vote this kind of build down just routinely

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: and quietly. They get they get pissed off about it.

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: My mouth off. Let's get Carl Demayo on. How are you, Carl? Hey,

34
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine. I noticed that this bill gets them

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: really emotional. The idea of showing ID to vote like,

36
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: they don't just shelve the thing. They get. They get

37
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: very personal, they get very upset. Why do you think

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: that is? Why do you strike such a court of

39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: this issue.

40
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: Well, we showed up. We shut up with not only

41
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: the bill which is overwhelmingly supported by California voters. Sixty

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: eight percent of voters support voter ID, seventy nine percent

43
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 2: support citizenship verification in order to register the vote, which

44
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: includes fifty two percent of Democrats. So this is wildly popular.

45
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 2: So I'm sitting there with a wildly popular bill, and

46
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: I say, look, this should not be a part of

47
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: aan issue. And I'm not here to talk about rhetoric

48
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: or conspiracy theories. I'm here to talk about facts. So

49
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: I handed out an audit of the twenty twenty two

50
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: California mid term election. And this audit has all the facts,

51
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: all the details, a voter fraud, of problems with outdated

52
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: voter rolls, of signatures not being properly reviewed for ballots

53
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: being returned. So I walked them through all the facts,

54
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 2: and I think really what got them upset emotionally was

55
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: that we didn't show up with conspiracy theories. We showed

56
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: up with the receipt. We showed up with actual audit

57
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: findings showing that the election system in California is not acceptable,

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 2: it is not done with integrity, and that we need

59
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: to have real voter ID reform in this state to

60
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: restore public trust and confidence. That's what they didn't like,

61
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: and so the chair of the committee basically said, mister DeMaio,

62
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: you should resign if you think that the elections are

63
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: fraudulent and that you're here with conspiracy theories. And of

64
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: course you know, she couldn't say whatever she wants to say.

65
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: But we have the public on our side, we have

66
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: the facts on our side, and I believe that in

67
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, by putting this on the ballot, we're

68
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: going to have reform on our side as well.

69
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about this that you're working to get this

70
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: on the ballot. Yeah.

71
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: Look, I always say, even if you think they're not

72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: going to do what's right, always give your opponents the

73
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: opportunity to do what is right. That's why we filed

74
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: the bill and brought it before the Assembly and said,

75
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: you guys should do this. Your constituents want it, you

76
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: should do it. They voted it down. So now they

77
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: are forcing us to collect a million signatures to put

78
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: the issue on the ballot through a citizen's initiative process.

79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 2: Right now, we are asking anyone who's interested in helping

80
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: out in signing the petition or helping collect signatures to

81
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 2: go on the website voter ID petition dot org. Voter

82
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: ID petition dot org and sign up. We need your

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: help because if people don't, you know, join in this

84
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: citizen's rebellion, this is never going to happen. And the

85
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: politicians like the fact that our elections aren't done properly.

86
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: They like the fact that some people have given up

87
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: hope and just decide not to vote, thinking their ballot

88
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: won't actually matter, because then their corrupt system continues to.

89
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 3: Dominate.

90
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: We need voter ID so that voters know whoever wins

91
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: an election properly won the election.

92
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: They're so adamant against it. I can't imagine a rational

93
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: reason to oppose voter ID or oppose proving your citizenship

94
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: when you register, unless you knew that you were getting

95
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: a lot of extra votes, bonus votes through ballot harvesting

96
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: and through illegal alien voting. It's got to be that.

97
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: I can't think of anything else.

98
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be the worst conclusion that we can draw.

99
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: But at best, they like it when people feel that

100
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: their conspiracy theories. They like it when people give up

101
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: hope and don't find trust or confidence in the voting system,

102
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: because then those people don't vote. And so when they

103
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: sit there and scream about an assault on our democracy.

104
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: Democrats use that line all the time. Oh, there's an

105
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 2: assault on democracy. Democracy is under a threat. These people

106
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: don't give a rip about democracy, or else they would

107
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: have given us voter ID. They're liars that there's no

108
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: doubt about it. These people are not interested in common sense.

109
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: They don't care about the health of our democracy. If

110
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: they did, they would have given us voter ID. And

111
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: I will tell you this, I believe that some of

112
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: these politicians in Sacramento are going to lose their elections

113
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: over their opposition to voter ID. When we put this

114
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: on the ballot in twenty twenty six, it's going to

115
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: be so popular that I think it'll be become a

116
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: wedge issue in individual candidate races. And so be it.

117
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: If a politician forced US citizens to have to get

118
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: a million signatures to impose reform that should be done

119
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: common sense by the politicians, well then some politicians should

120
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 2: lose their day have jobs over it. There should be

121
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: some people who lose their careers over what they did today.

122
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: I think it gives them the extra boost in recent

123
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: years that got in the supermajority because about the time dall

124
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: At harvesting became popular was when they got the super

125
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: majority and were able to block anything that the Republicans

126
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: wanted to do. Yeah.

127
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: I mean, look, there's a number of reasons why they

128
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 2: have their supermajority. And I'm not going to let the

129
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: Republicans off the hook. I think they have not really

130
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: been fighters, they haven't had their act together, and I'm

131
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: doing that great to change that. But the reality is this,

132
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 2: whether you believe that there's election fraud happening a lot

133
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: or little or somewhere in between, let's settle the debate

134
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: and get voter ID. And again, I can't do this myself.

135
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: I can t up the bill, I can file the

136
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 2: constitutional amendment, but unless people step forward to help us,

137
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: we're not going to get it done. So they have

138
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: to go to that website, voter ID petition dot org.

139
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: They've got to get off the couch into the fight,

140
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 2: into the streets to take back their government from I

141
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: believe a very corrupt cabal of people who don't give

142
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: a rip about your welfare, or your benefit or your

143
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: cost of living. And this broken political system needs to

144
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: be shaken up with something like voter ID.

145
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: I want to play the clip of you coming outside

146
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: on the steps of the Capitol there, So okay, because

147
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: this amused me. Play cut number two.

148
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 4: When you hear them talking about defending our democracy, it

149
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 4: is all. They had a chance to improve the health

150
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 4: of our democracy today by requiring voter ID, and they

151
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 4: killed the bill despite the fact that sixty eight percent

152
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 4: of Californians in the latest polls support voter ID. Seventy

153
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: nine percent of Californians support citizenship verification in order to

154
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 4: register to vote. And so I am here today to

155
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: announce that California citizens will do the job that California

156
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 4: politicians refuse to do.

157
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: We will put.

158
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: Voter ID on the ballot in twenty twenty six using

159
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 4: the citizens' initiative process. Anyone who supports voter ID now

160
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: has to get off the sidelines and into the fight.

161
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: I urge you to join our campaign.

162
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 4: At voter idpetition dot org voter idpetition dot org.

163
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: I just like the energy well, and I like the

164
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: bull bleep touch there too.

165
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: You know, sometimes you got to call a spade a spade,

166
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: and these people up here are so unhinged from reality.

167
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: And yes, I know it sounds impolite, but I will

168
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: tell you this. The corruption up here is real. The

169
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: corruption up here is perhaps the biggest reason why they

170
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: don't solve problems that everyone agrees on, like lowering the

171
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: costs of gas, or improving our schools or fixing homelessness.

172
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: These people literally have a corrupt and broken political system

173
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 2: that covers for them. And the best way to start

174
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 2: the process of shaking things up is California voter ID.

175
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: This is so important that we get this done in

176
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six, and I do believe that we'll pay

177
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: dividends in terms of other issues that we struggle with

178
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: in California.

179
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: All Right, Carl, thanks for coming on again. We'll talk soon.

180
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: Appreciate it.

181
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: All right, Carl DeMaio Republican Assemblymen.

182
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.

183
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: Forty, I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

184
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: How many financial scams involving the government have we talked

185
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: about in the last few months and years. We got

186
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: the twenty four billion in homeless money that Newsome can't find.

187
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: We got over thirty billion given away during the COVID

188
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: unemployment era. We had the seventeen billion loss to high

189
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: speed rail. We got the audit of LASA in lay

190
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: two billion dollars that they can't figure out. And then

191
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: this scammers have stolen more than ten million dollars in

192
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: federal financial aid from California's community colleges in the last year,

193
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: ten million dollars, and that was double what they stole

194
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: the year before. These criminals are signing up for financial

195
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: aid at California community colleges. You're not gonna believe this.

196
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty one, twenty percent of the college applicants

197
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: were fake. Last year, twenty five percent were fake. This

198
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: year thirty four percent were fake. Thirty four percent of

199
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: all the community college applications, and they all got money

200
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: and they all ran off with it. Ten million dollars

201
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: in the past twelve months, five million the year before.

202
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: And the faculty is fed up because they're exasperated. They

203
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: have to be detectives trying to figure out which students

204
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: are real and which aren't. Scammers are using artificial intelligence

205
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: to infiltrate classes. They use tools like check GPT to

206
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: pose as students. This is according to calmatters dot org.

207
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: Fraudsters are taking seats and preventing legitimate students from enrolling

208
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 1: in the classes. Ten million dollars in federal money, three

209
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: million dollars in state money. That's in the last twelve months.

210
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: That's thirteen million dollars. I mean, how could you have

211
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: a third of the applications being fraudulent? And they do

212
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: it because it's so easy to do. Then they talk

213
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: to some goof named Chris Ferguson, a finance executive at

214
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: the Chancellor's office, who said, well, the scope of the

215
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: fraud is relatively small, quite small. Relatively small, Well, he said,

216
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: compared to the total amount of aid that's given in California.

217
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: It's like, no, that's huge. Well, if you don't think

218
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: it's such a big deal, I mean, come on, Apparently

219
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: they don't because everyone's getting away with it. So the

220
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: students are using AI and the state has what computers

221
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: from the nineteen seventies, They have an abacus and a pencil.

222
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: One official says, you know, they've spent money on cybersecurity,

223
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: and they brought in outside tech companies to authenticate students.

224
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: But none of these interventions will eliminate fraud because every

225
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: time the state gets better at fighting fraud, the bad

226
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: actors adapt. That's ridiculous that they should show up in

227
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: person with with like some kind of identification, some kind

228
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: of proof that they are who they are student ID. Yeah,

229
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: I don't understand this.

230
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: What do you mean?

231
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: This makes no sense at all. And if they're using

232
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: if they're using AI, then you need a new system here.

233
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: Everybody and everything is AI. Then maybe you ought to

234
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: go back to paper applications and have somebody read them

235
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: and interview these people and force them to definitively identify themselves. Jeez,

236
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: where's Elon Musk? Yeah, I'll bet you they could figure

237
00:14:55,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: it out, probably the Musk crowd. It's amazing how much

238
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: money is robbed from taxpayers. It seems in all departments

239
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: here in California where they hand out money, millions or

240
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: billions are being stolen. It's just amazing to me how

241
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: many crooks there are. Yeah, I guess I'm naive. But

242
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: you think people are good? No, I don't. I don't.

243
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: But certain things that they do with just baffling people

244
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: are not good. I know. I wish somebody had told

245
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: me that when I was a kid. People are not good.

246
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: Expect the worst always. I wouldn't be so disappointed. We

247
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: come back all right, Dever's been doing this story in

248
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: the news. You've heard about the or thirteen year old

249
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 1: kid who got murdered by maybe by a soccer coach.

250
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: And then this guy has sexual molestations in his background.

251
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Who hires these guys? No background check any on somebody

252
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: who's coaching young kids. We've got this and a couple

253
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: of other molestation stories.

254
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: And John Homeland Security says that he is an illegal

255
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: immigrant from El Salvador.

256
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: And he's an illegal immigrant on top of that, boy,

257
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: it's anything goes in California. We'll discuss this when we

258
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: come back.

259
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A

260
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: six forty.

261
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: I'm tired, I gotta go. Coming up next segment, we're

262
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: going to talk about that soccer coach who is being

263
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: charged with murdering a thirteen year old player. And this

264
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: guy may have had sexual assaults in his past, and

265
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: he also is an illegal alien, like anybody can just

266
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: walk in and get hired to work with children. I

267
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: guess huh. We'll talk about that coming up first. Royal Oaks.

268
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: Some top IRS officials, including the act Commissioner, are quitting

269
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: because the Trump administration tried to get them to use

270
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: tax records to help Homeland Security deport immigrants. And we're

271
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: going to talk to Royal oaks coming up about this.

272
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: Royal how are you.

273
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: I'm doing great. Yeah, I guess no big shock. You know,

274
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: these IRS officials are reported by Democrat presidents and they're

275
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 3: not happy with the new deal. But basically what Trump

276
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 3: is saying is, look, if you are here illegally and

277
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 3: you are facing a deportation, hearing, or other criminal investigation

278
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: having nothing to do with your illegal status, we'd like

279
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 3: to know where you are. We'd like to know your

280
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 3: personal information so we can find you. So now the

281
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 3: IRS can work with ICE and compare their notes about

282
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 3: names and addresses of people facing investigations to try to

283
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: help ICE locate them and deport them. But the IRS

284
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: employee is not happy, so they're leaving. Wow, it's about

285
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 3: twenty five percent of the IRS employees. So yeah, if

286
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 3: hand's coming up, it might be shorthanded.

287
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: Twenty five percent of the employees you're witting over this,

288
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: or they just quit in general, just.

289
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: In general, Okay, the whole two hundred thousand federal employees

290
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: have lost their jobs under DOGE and so on. But yeah,

291
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 3: it's a lot of people are hot and bothered. They're saying, hey,

292
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: we don't want to discourage illegals from paying their taxes,

293
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 3: and it's going to cut tax collections. But Donald Trump

294
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: so far as winning the legal battle on the constitutionality of.

295
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: This, well, you know, it seems over and over again

296
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: in these cases, the judges just keep reasserting the same

297
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: obvious fact that the president is the chief executive of

298
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: the federal government, so he can make decisions on who

299
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: works and who stays and what the policy is going

300
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 1: to be.

301
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 3: Well, that's right. And you know, the most recent victory

302
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 3: for Trump is a federal trial court judge in Washington,

303
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: d c. Judge Dabney Friedrich. He's the one that said, hey,

304
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 3: you know, these immigrant rights organizations are suing to stop

305
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 3: the IRS from playing ball with ice, but the judge

306
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 3: should Now, I don't see any harm here. It is

307
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 3: within the president's of province. So Trump's kind of on

308
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 3: a roll because you remember, a couple of days ago,

309
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: Supreme Court ruled five to four in favor of Trump

310
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: using that old seventeen ninety eight Alien Enemies Act to

311
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 3: deport Venezuelan gang members. So Trump had a lot of setbacks,

312
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 3: you know, the first few weeks when he had those

313
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: dozens of executive orders, a lot of left of center

314
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: judges came in and said, you know, I think you're overreaching,

315
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 3: But right now Trump is really on a roll. Yeah.

316
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: Now, this thing about not sharing tax information with Homeland

317
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: Security over illegal aliens, was this a law or just

318
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: a policy?

319
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 3: Well, it is a law. The tax code has a

320
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 3: section that says, okay, IRS has your information. We're going

321
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 3: to keep it confidential with a few exceptions. And one

322
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 3: exception is you may share out of the IRS with

323
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 3: law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute, you know, non

324
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 3: tax criminal laws, as long as you get court approval

325
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: and you're playing by the rules. It's kind of like

326
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: the whole sanctuary city deal where you know, the people

327
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: who don't like ICE say, you know, we don't care

328
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: that the federal law says, if somebody is here illegally,

329
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 3: you may deport them, we're going to hide them, We're

330
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: not going to share anything. We're going to push back

331
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 3: against law enforcement and prosecutors and so on. So this

332
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 3: is sort of a subset of that. In general, of course,

333
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 3: IRIS has to keep it private. But not always.

334
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: So I read the deal was between the Homeland Security

335
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: Secretary Christinome and the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant. And Bessent

336
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: is the boss of the IRS commissioner who quit Melanie Krauss.

337
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: So her boss decided, yeah, we will share information between

338
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: the IRS and Homeland Security. And so Melanie Krauss decided

339
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: to quit and protest.

340
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, And of course I'm sure Drum's attitude is,

341
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 3: you know, don't let the door hit you on the

342
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: way out. I mean, let's face it, it get selected

343
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: through red meat issues like immigration and the cost of

344
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 3: eggs and transgender paying for their sex change operation and

345
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 3: imprison And so this is something that Trump happy to

346
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: have this teed up as a continued debate because he

347
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 3: probably is correct in figuring that most Americans are pretty

348
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: much in favor of helping get rid of the illegals

349
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 3: who are being prosecuted for crime.

350
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: I bet you most people before the Trump era didn't

351
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: realize how political so many government employees were. You think

352
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: of IRS agents or IRS executives as just being dry, boring,

353
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: accounted people with not with strong opinions, right, they just

354
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: are counting money, collecting taxes. They really had ad the swamp.

355
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, draining the swamp of people who have been there

356
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 3: for decades, and they've got their own political genders, and

357
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 3: they shouldn't have political genders. If you're an employee and

358
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: an agency, the president is the boss. And if it's

359
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter, fine, if it's Joe Biden. But it's Donald

360
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 3: Trump now, so you got to salute and do what

361
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: the guy says, even if you really don't like.

362
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: All Right, Royal, thanks for coming on, you bet, thanks,

363
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: all right, Royal Oaks, ABC News legal analysts, do you

364
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: believe that, yes, you should share and we should get

365
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: information on all the illegal aliens in the country because

366
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: they're the ones breaking the law and it's our country

367
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: and that's our government, and we are spending way more

368
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: in illegal aliens that they're paying the taxes. Like just

369
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: in California, it costs US twenty two billion dollars in

370
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: illegal alien benefits twenty two billion, and we're seventy five

371
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: billion dollars over budget right now. So it is a

372
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: huge issue here. When we come back, we'll talk about

373
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: this soccer coach who has a history of molesting boys.

374
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: He's an illegal alien. How does he get hired to

375
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: coach youth soccer and now he's suspected of a murder

376
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: of a thirteen year old boy. We'll get to this

377
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: coming up.

378
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am

379
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 5: six forty.

380
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show. All right, this soccer coach, Mario, I'm sorry,

381
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: Mario at Gardo Garcia Akino. Mario at Gardo Garcia Akino.

382
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: He's forty three years old, and Nathan Hackman had a

383
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: news conference and said that he murdered a thirteen year

384
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: old named Oscar Omar Hernandez. Garcia Akeno was a youth

385
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: travel soccer coach in the Silmar area. He worked with

386
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: the different age divisions, the Hurricane Valley Boys Soccer Club

387
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: and he's an illegal alien from l Salvador. They're not

388
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: saying exactly how the boy was killed, but they're charging

389
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: him with a special circumstance for murder during the commission

390
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: of ludax with a child and he's eligible for the

391
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: death penalty. Hakman's bringing back the death penalty here in

392
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: La County and this guy should deserve it. So this

393
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: is an legal alien. I don't know when he crossed

394
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: the border. I don't know if he was one of

395
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's buddies here, but this guy got over the

396
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: border and prosecutors are saying he killed Oscar Hernandez, and

397
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: it turns out he sexually abused two others. According to prosecutors,

398
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: they're charging him for the assault of a fourteen year

399
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: old boy back in December of twenty twenty two, and

400
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: they're also charging him for assaulting a sixteen year old

401
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: in May of twenty twenty four. In both of those cases,

402
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: it took a while to process the charges because they

403
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: had to get the victims to talk and they had

404
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: to get forensics testing. Still, this guy was arrested for

405
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 1: assaulting a fourteen year old in December of twenty two

406
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: and a sixteen year old in May of twenty four.

407
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: The charges are came late. But how does this guy

408
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: get hired with all that on his record? How does

409
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: this guy get hired when he's an illegal alien?

410
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: Who?

411
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: I mean, does anybody have any common sense when you

412
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: get some weird guy, do you anybody do a background check?

413
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: Does anybody make a call anymore? I mean, legality doesn't

414
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: matter in terms of their citizenship, whether they have a

415
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: green card and he's running around forcing sex on young boys.

416
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: I just don't I just don't understand. And then we

417
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: got a story that a Roman Catholic priest in La

418
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: County in Downey, he's been arrested. I thought they'd taken

419
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: care of this problem. Five felony counts a child molestation, Uh,

420
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: father Haimi Ariaga. He's in the Men's County Central Jail.

421
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the County Men's Central Jail, assault with intent

422
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: to commit a felony and four felony counts of loot

423
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: and lacibus acts on fourteen and fifteen year olds. Oh,

424
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: but the archdiocese says, we have a long standing commitment

425
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: to the protection of minors. You know, before somebody becomes

426
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: a priest, they should just cut off the guys generals,

427
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: because I would just be suspicious anybody wants to spend

428
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: a lot of time with the young boys soccer coach

429
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 1: Priest Conway's here.

430
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 6: Hey, now, I've spent a lot of time with the

431
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 6: Catholic Church, and there's any of that stuff. But maybe

432
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 6: I was a fairly unattractive child. That's possible.

433
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: Nobody came after you.

434
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 6: No, not really, kind of depressing. You know, nobody wanted you,

435
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 6: that's right. Yeah, couldn't get a date, couldn't get a preest,

436
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 6: you couldn't eat either sex that jump on it. Bill

437
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 6: A sale is coming on today. US Attorney for Los Angeles.

438
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 6: Looks like there might be some purp walks in downtown LA.

439
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: I hope so. Yeah, it would be wild. I think

440
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: he's going to find so many suspects. There's so much rotten.

441
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that homeless system, right, and I think that

442
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: you know.

443
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 6: They always say Chicago New York are corrupt when it

444
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 6: comes to government. I think LA blows them out of

445
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 6: the water. But and just and nobody covers it. No,

446
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 6: you know, there was we have we have such a

447
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 6: docile media. Goldstein used to cover it and he's gone.

448
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 6: Joe Grover covered it, he's gone. I know, so all

449
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 6: the guys that covered it are gone. You know, we

450
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 6: covered here. Monks is on it, but he's a one

451
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 6: man band.

452
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 3: You know.

453
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: I don't cover everything. I know what's wrong with it.

454
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: But I grew up in New York. Their entire news

455
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 1: departments would be on this stuff. Oh yeah, there would

456
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: be a guy.

457
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 6: There would be two or three guys, you know, assigned

458
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 6: just a city hall.

459
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: And they were constantly yelling at the mayor and yelling

460
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: at the council people and yell. They were always chasing

461
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: him and shouting, running down sidewalks not here. And then

462
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: the tabloid reporters, like in the Daily News and the

463
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: Post it was it was mayhem.

464
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 6: Can you imagine if the mayor of New York was

465
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 6: in Africa when the city burned down back then they

466
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 6: would have killed him.

467
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

468
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 6: Out here, it's just like, oh, I hope you had

469
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 6: a safe trip back.

470
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: Did you have a good time, Karen? Did you have

471
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: a good time? What was the food?

472
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 3: Like? Karen?

473
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: Did you ever hear a clip that we play back

474
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: with Steve Gregory played it on the air and it

475
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: was some press conference I think it was during COVID

476
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: and the La Times reporters were they talking to the

477
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: mayor and all the La Times reporters as young women.

478
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: They go, well, thank you very much for your time.

479
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 1: We know you're busy. You know, this is when we

480
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: were all getting locked down. We couldn't eat restaurants, we

481
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: couldn't walk in the park around the beach, we couldn't

482
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: play tennis. Well, thank you, mister Garcetti. I'm so glad

483
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: you gave us time.

484
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 6: That's really And then we had to listen to that

485
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 6: doctor the whole time, you know, the health thud.

486
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: Oh Barbara Ferrara, Oh my, what a monster shield might. Yeah,

487
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: that's that nightmare.

488
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 6: And that's over though, thank god. And then Southern California

489
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 6: braces for a three day stretch of above average temperatures

490
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 6: and Huntington Beach might get volleyball because Santa Monica somehow screwed.

491
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: That up for the Olympics. That's a bad move. Yeah,

492
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,479
Speaker 1: it's a lot of lost money there, right.

493
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 6: Why would they why would they not fight to have

494
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 6: that in Santa Monica.

495
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, Santa Monica. This Santa Monica is not

496
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: even the endpoint for the marathon anymore. Santa Monica never

497
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: wants any like fireworks shows. People had ideas to have

498
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: fireworks out in the ocean on New Year's Eve. No,

499
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: they don't want that.

500
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 3: No.

501
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 6: The only thing you can do in Santa Monica is

502
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 6: poop on the street.

503
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: That's rue. Well, if they're an Olympics event for that,

504
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: that's right, that'll be the place, that's right, all right.
