1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app or on every day 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: from one in till four and then after four o'clock, 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: whatever you missed is on the podcast John Cobelt's show 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: on demand, and if you missed the first hour, well 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: that's something you ought to listen to as soon as 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: you can later today. Because Governor Newsom is suddenly pretending 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: to be fed up with homelessness and he wants all 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: the encampments in the state removed, and he even came 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: up with a model local ordinance that he thinks all 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: the towns and cities should pass. He can't force them 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: to pass it or enforce it, but he's got a 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: strong suggestion here. So it's his hypocrisy and his phoniness 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: is just he's like the Michael Jordan of phoniness and hypocrisy. 15 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: He's unbelievable. I don't know how he does it. He 16 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 1: gets up every day and he will do a one 17 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: to eighty on any issue. Six and a half years 18 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: he was governor, and he was scalding everybody for years 19 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: about having compassion, and suddenly now it's like, oh my god, 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: they all got to go already, they gotta go. Oh, 21 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: come on, this is too much because he's running for 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: president and this doesn't play in any other state, not 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: even Democrat states. Is no other Democrat state has what 24 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: we have. We will talk more about that later and 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: you can also listen to the podcast and hear the 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: one o'clock hour. Alex Stone is back with us from 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,919 Speaker 1: maybe C News. Good lord, the Menendez brother's case thirty 28 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: five years already. Yeah, it feels like it's since October 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 1: when we began this whole new push for them to 30 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: get out, and the Netflix had the documentary and the 31 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: scripted series and everything. But well they got a hearing 32 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: tomorrow to get resentenced, and resentencing could mean that they 33 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: get set free. So the states are really high. Garags 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: is involved, talk about what we should see tomorrow. Yeah, 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: so they could go free by Wednesday afternoon. The order 36 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: could come down or whatever the judge decides to do. 37 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: So this is finally what they've been waiting for since 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: everything got going with George Gascone and the documentaries and 39 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: all of that, and then Hawkman came in and he's 40 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: opposing their release. But the court is keeping Gascon's argument 41 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: for their release. Hawkman tried to get that tossed out 42 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: again during a pretty heated hearing on Friday, And I 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: was sitting in there, as you know. Hawkman was going 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: over all of what they learned from the parole board 45 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: that did an analysis of the Menendez brothers finding that 46 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: they are a moderate risk if they were to be 47 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: released into the community. And we'll talk about that in 48 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: just a moment. But he is saying, your honor, pay 49 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: attention to now what we want where we're saying, do 50 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: not release them. And the judge said, look, under the 51 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: State of California, I gotta go with what you're fought 52 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: with your office filed initially, unless you can tell me 53 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: that they're a gang leader in it now or that 54 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: they murdered somebody in prison, and that he's got to 55 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 1: go with the original filing. So they're going to show 56 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: up tomorrow. And guyansk, you something here and not that 57 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: you know the answer to this, But George Gascone, given 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: his political proclivities, if he intentionally misled the judge by 59 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:22,399 Speaker 1: downplaying some negative evidence or if he's exaggerating some positive evidence, 60 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: Hawkman can't revise that. I mean, I thought the whole 61 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: point of the process is to eventually get at the truth. 62 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: And if Hakman says, well, wait, I've got you know, 63 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: a different story here for you that Gascone withheld or distorted, 64 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: isn't it isn't the judge required to look at that? Well, 65 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: the judge is saying, mister Hackman, which by the way, 66 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: it was unique for the DA of La County to 67 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: be in court on Friday and arguing in a case, 68 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, typically it's a Deputy DA who gets out 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: there and the DA holds a news conference and then 70 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: the deputy DA is going and do the work. He 71 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: did this on his own, and the judge saying, during 72 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: these hearings you can argue it, but the official filing 73 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: is going to be what Gascone entered months ago. That 74 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: it's going to remain that because there is not some 75 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: violent other change that they have seen of these brothers, 76 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: even though the parle Board it is new evidence that 77 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: the pro board did this risk analysis and the risk 78 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: analysis found that they had illegal cell phones in prison 79 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: and that yeah, there were a drug violation years ago 80 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: and some other illegal stuff, tax fraud helping another inmate 81 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: with tax fraud years ago, but a lot of it 82 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: was quite a while ago, and seeing another inmate with 83 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: tax fraud. Yeah, about fifteen years ago, but it was 84 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: it was a cell phone. So that really Hawkman because 85 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: that was new for I believe it was Eric in 86 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: January of this year was found again to have an 87 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: illegal cell phone. Now the judge said, look, I'm talking 88 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: about like gang leader or murder. He goes, every inmate 89 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: has an illegal cell phone in prison, that that is 90 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: not something that would be shocking new evidence to throw 91 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: out Gascones argument and replace it with a new one 92 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 1: from the office. So you know, at this point the 93 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: judge is saying, you can argue it in prison, but 94 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: the filing is going to remain the same, And yeah, 95 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Hawkman is going to make the argument, assuming 96 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 1: he continues to argue tomorrow and Wednesday or his deputy 97 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: that the brothers that they have not come clean. He 98 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,679 Speaker 1: keeps saying, it's not not never, it's just not right now, 99 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: because he argues that they continue to lie, that the 100 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: whole self defense thing is a lie because it wasn't 101 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: in the moment they killed their parents while they were 102 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: watching TV. They weren't a life threatening situation. He says 103 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: that there is no evidence has been authenticated that they 104 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: were being sexually abused, that the brothers just won't come clean, 105 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: and Hawkman keeps saying this. 106 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 2: In order to be truly rehabilitated, you have to acknowledge 107 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: the full breadth of your criminal conduct, your cover up, 108 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 2: and your lives. 109 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: Now, Mark Garrigo says, no, they don't, that they have 110 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: come clean and that this is about under the state 111 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: to California resentencing laws that they are are due to 112 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: a crack ad them and Garago has made a bunch 113 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: of claims against Hakmen in court on Friday, arguing that 114 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: something isn't right with Hawkman because he's too invested in 115 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: keeping the brothers locked up. They tried to argue this 116 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: conflict of interest, saying that he had a history that 117 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: was against that, and the judge said stopped that it 118 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: like all this unethical stuff that they were alleging against Hakmen, 119 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: and the judge made them stop that. But yeah, garag 120 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: against Tomen, Yeah, and then Hawkman was coming back. So 121 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: Geragos dropped on Friday an attempt that he was trying 122 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: to get Hawkman kicked off the case because it wasn't 123 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: going anywhere. The Attorney General of California said no, that 124 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: this has no merit and and so wasn't going anywhere, 125 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: and Garages dropped that. So that's discussed. But the big 126 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: part of this really came down on Friday to the 127 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: parole board review of the brothers and that moderate risk 128 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: that they found, where the judge said he will take 129 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: it into account. We don't know if it's going to 130 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: play a big role over these next two days and 131 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: whether he releases them or not. Moderate risk of what 132 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: well say, a threat to the community. And here this 133 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: is talkman. 134 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: We have this additional new information coming in from the 135 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 2: border parole senior psychologists that have assessed that risk as 136 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: a moderate risk, not a high risk, not a low risk, 137 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 2: but a moderate risk. 138 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: Now, again, a lot of this goes back to cell 139 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: phones in prison and the argument being if they didn't 140 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: follow the rules in prison, especially at a time when 141 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: they're trying to get released right now, that they won't 142 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: follow rules outside of prison. The judge again was kind 143 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: of like, we're talking cell phones here, We're not talking 144 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: about murder in prison, so he's not putting a ton 145 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: of they're still psychotic reliance on a yeah, and the 146 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: psychologist to get fixed in prison. Yeah, the doctors found 147 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: the narcissism and other things. But the other issue is 148 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: that they can't question the doctors who did the report. 149 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of things. It wasn't made for 150 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: the court. It was made for Governor Newsom for possible clemency. 151 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: So the judge that I'll look at it, but it's 152 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: not everything. So Mark goes judge, Yeah, Mark Garrigos. His 153 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: argument here is that unless there is a major strike 154 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: against them, that they've done something majorly violent in prison 155 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: that they deserve to get out, is there a likelihood 156 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: of a super strike? That is the law a super 157 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: strike as he called it. So the judge is gonna 158 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: have to decide over these next two days. Do they 159 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: get out immediately, do they stay in prison for the 160 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: rest of their lives no parole as the jury and 161 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: judge decided so many years ago, or do they get 162 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: a chance at parole, which then they would go to 163 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: the parole board. And we know the parole board found 164 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: them to have a moderate risk. They may not get 165 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: out immediately with them and they could try again in 166 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: three years, So that could go on for months or 167 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 1: even years. So this could go any number ways. Lyle 168 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: could get one thing, Eric could get the other. We'll 169 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: find out as early as probably Wednesday, maybe after that. 170 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: Garagos has seven family members to call, two experts.

Yeah, 244 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: because you got the one guy to come in. 245 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 4: On his day off, on his day off. 246 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: And then she said, well, there's supposed to be at 247 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: least three controllers for each hour. No, there's supposed to 248 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: be fifteen.

Fifteen is the target 257 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 1: for Newark. Anything less than half is rough. 258 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 4: It's rough. 259 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: It's rough. Well, what's one? What?

And and they're in Philadelphia to begin with. Well, 266 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: that's pretty scary because you know people in Newark. It's 267 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: not like somebody can run up the stairs and go 268 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: into the air traffic control center. Right, It's like you 269 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: got to drive ninety miles that takes about that takes 270 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: about two to three hours in traffic.

I don't know, it's 306 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: not like we don't pay seven trillion dollars a year 307 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: in federal taxes. That's seven trillion they don't have. They 308 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: don't have a few bucks for two more controllers, not 309 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: to mention they need twelve more. Meantime, here in Los Angeles, 310 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:19,479 Speaker 1: same issue affecting the Los Angeles Police Department. We should 311 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: have ten thousand officers at minimum, that's what we had 312 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: a few years ago, and to handle the upcoming World 313 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: Cup and the Olympics, we should have twelve thousand. Well, 314 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: right now we're at eighty seven hundred and it's probably 315 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 1: going to drop to eighty four hundred soon because this 316 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: year we'll bring more retirements, more resignations, and it looks 317 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 1: like based on the bad budgeting by the bad mayor, 318 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: Karen Bass. By twenty thirty, which is only five years away, 319 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna be down to sixty six hundred officers. We 320 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 1: should have twelve thousand. We're gonna have about half that. 321 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: You know the way, we have only half the firefighters 322 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: that we that we ought to have be employing.

All 333 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: their stock prices were hundreds and hundreds of dollars and 334 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: they had no they had no revenue some of them, 335 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 1: some of them didn't have a business model. But they 336 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: went public and their stock was selling for outrageous amounts 337 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: and people were buying and selling stock, buying and selling stock. 338 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: This is nineteen ninety nine two thousand and the state 339 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: was taking a share of all the profits. Well, they 340 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: the revenue the state was getting was so bloated that 341 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: Grey Davis gave away huge pay raises and even Huger 342 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: that's a word, Huger pension raises. And then the stock 343 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,639 Speaker 1: market crash happened in two thousand and the revenues in 344 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: California went whoo right off the cliff. And now he 345 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 1: was such a stupid man, and so we were stuck 346 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: with huge raises and huge pensions for government workers, of 347 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: all things, government workers. And then eight years later you 348 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: know who else did that, Tony Valar. Tony Valar. Yeah, 349 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: he gave away huge raises to government workers in the city. 350 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: And then what happened, Oh, we had the mortgage meltdown, 351 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: We had a huge economic crash, stock market cratered all 352 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: over again, second one in eight years. And here comes 353 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: Karen Bass and she does the same stupid thing. She 354 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: gave huge raises the city leaders, the city workers rather 355 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: and now it's a billion dollars of deficit, a billion, 356 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: and she doesn't know what to do because he just 357 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: the fire department was exposed and the palisades was destroyed, 358 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: and now they're looking to cut LAPD officers, but they're 359 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: gonna cut them through a back door. They're just gonna 360 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: stop re routing officers and stop hiring new officers. We 361 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: had ten thousand cops five years ago. By next June, 362 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: we'll be down to eighty four hundred. In five years, 363 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: we'll be down to sixty six hundred because they plan 364 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: on cutting police hiring for the next five years. They're 365 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: going to cut the number of recruits by seventy five 366 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 1: percent eventually. And you know who's driving this. One of 367 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: the socialists, one of the defund the police socialists Unices 368 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: Hernandez unic Is. Hernandez runs the most disgusting district in 369 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It's the MacArthur Park area. If you haven't 370 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: driven there, you'll know when you're there because there are 371 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: people dying in the street. Actually, some people are dead 372 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: in the street. And go to mark Arthur Park and 373 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: there are some people laying dead. The ones who aren't 374 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: dead are laying there and they've overdosed on fentanyl or heroin, 375 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: and the ones who aren't overdosed are standing there selling 376 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: the fentanyl to newcomers who would like to pass out. 377 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: And die in the park. And you knows as her 378 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: Nandez is overseas the district big defund the police. She's 379 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: with the what was the name of that group, some 380 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: Socialists of America. She's not even a Democrat. He's actually 381 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: with a socialist political group. There's four of them on 382 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: the city council. And you may think, well, it's not 383 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: a majority, right, there's fifteen on the city you know what. 384 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: She's in charge of committees. She sits on the budget committee, 385 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: and she constantly speaks out against spending. And they're going 386 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: to cut recruits in half this year, and Hernandez says, 387 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: that's a good start. Democratic Socialist in America. That's a DSA. 388 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: But they're not democrats, they're socialists. They are that this 389 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: is so this is so bad, this is so incompetent. 390 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,920 Speaker 1: She had half a fire department, Palisades burns. So they 391 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: start to h they start to cut police officers. So 392 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a tiny fire department. We're gonna have 393 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: a tiny police force, giving giving raises to uh what 394 00:23:49,520 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: people who sit at desks? Uh, you know what, we're 395 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 1: duck here. The reason we don't have money for a 396 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: fire department and the reason we don't have money for 397 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: the police department is because she spends way over a 398 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: billion dollars on the vagrants, the mental patients, and the 399 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: drug addicts. That's what she does with our money. And 400 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 1: now we can't have cops and firefighters. We just have 401 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: vagrants in the streets and they start fires, and they 402 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: terrorize a lot of people and commit crimes. In fact, 403 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: I found a story about the number of homeless. There's 404 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,239 Speaker 1: a big percentage of the homeless who came right out 405 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: of prison, right out of jail over the last oh, 406 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, fifteen years or so. Once Jerry Brown 407 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 1: decided to empty out the state prisons, you know where 408 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: a lot of those people ended up were on the streets. 409 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: Those are criminals and sex offenders. There's actually a startling 410 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: numb of sex offenders in all these encampments. So we 411 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: have fewer police, fewer firefighters. But Karen Bass blows well 412 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: over billion dollars on sex offenders and criminals to let 413 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 1: them live in the street. And Newsom is strongly suggesting 414 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: to her that you know, it is time to end 415 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: the encampments. Oh no, no, no, why that would stigmatize them, 416 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: That would bring them further trauma. Actually read this. These 417 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: progressives think that forcing the vagrants to either you know, 418 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: go to treatment, mental health treatment or drug treatment or 419 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: jail would further traumatize them. There's a lot of people 420 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: I know who are traumatized by the vagrants running around. 421 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: I mean we were chased, I told you, by by 422 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: some guy with a huge stick or a pipe or something. Now, 423 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna play the victim. I wasn't traumatized, but uh, 424 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people are traumatized. 425 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 4: He caught it up a bunch of times. You're sure 426 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 4: you're not. 427 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: No, I am trauma resistant. I you know what. I 428 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm not going to cave into any of this. I'm 429 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: stronger than all of this. Can't help it if so 430 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: many people are weak. Nowadays, people are weak. I'm curious 431 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: with the with the with the traumatized their traffic. 432 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's ridiculous. 433 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: What a sad group there, Geez, could you hire like 434 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 1: real guys?
