You're listening to the John Cobel 3 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 2: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are going to now 4 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: talk with John Fleischman. He's got a website, so does 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: Itmatter dot com. He's a political writer and a commentator. 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 2: And there is a story that has been bubbling in 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 2: the background. We've covered it some because there's only one 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: reporter in the whole state trying to find out the truth, 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 2: and her name is Ashley Zavala for Channel three and 10 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 2: Sacramento KCRA. And this thing, like I said, for all 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: the people just beside themselves with anger and fury over 12 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: Trump using private money to build that ballroom. In Washington, 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 2: we got Newsome spending over a billion dollars on something 14 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: called the State Capitol Annex project. It's a new large 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: section of the state Capitol over a billion dollars, but 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: nobody really knows how much it's going to cost or 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: when it's going to be built. There's a tremendous amount 18 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: of sea. Were seeing a lot of nondisclosure agreements and 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: it looks like a big, sticking boondoggle that nobody wants 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 2: to acknowledge. So we'll talk to us talk with John 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 2: Fleischman about this, John, how are you. 22 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 3: I'm doing fine, John, And you're not kidding, you know. 23 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom was very quick that he went on X 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 3: to call the expansion of the White House the knockoff 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: Versailles and and and really let Donald Trump have it 26 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 3: while he's got his own crazy thing going on at 27 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 3: the Capitol. Uh, the ballroom expansion that the White House 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: is estimated to cost around four hundred million dollars. And 29 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: as you pointed out, it's all coming from private money. 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: But here in California, they're they're like massively expanding the 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 3: state capitol like and the last the last budget was 32 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: one point one billion, but no one thinks that's even 33 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: going to come close to what it's actually going to cost. 34 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: There's no one in charge. No one will say what 35 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: it actually costs. And this is my favorite part. There's 36 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: over two thousand people working on this project, and the 37 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: government has had every single person, from the lawyers down 38 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: to the construction workers signing legal nondescrollosure agreements so that 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: they cannot talk to the media or anyone else about 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 3: what they're doing and how much it costs. It's completely nuts. 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: Newsom obviously has approved the funny because he signed the 42 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: budget bills that include the money. And as you said, 43 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: Ashley's of all of the reporter from KCRTV and Sacramento 44 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: has been on this thing, but she's been the only one. 45 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: And so there's been virtually no disclosure about this thing. 46 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: And it's absolutely boggers. I mean, it's I mean, I 47 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: wish that I know this is radio, but you know, 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: if you go to I'm sure your website, if you 49 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 3: go to so doesntmatter dot com, my piece has photos. 50 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 3: It's just it's like they're building the taj Mahal's he's 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 3: building his own Versailles at the same time that he's 52 00:02:54,919 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 3: trying to criticize the president. And it's it's not some hypocrisy, 53 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 3: and it's even better they it's leaked out that they 54 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: have built this niche structure of the building with secure 55 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: secret corridors that will allow the politicians to move all 56 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: around the Capitol without ever having to come out to 57 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: where the media or the public are. So it's like 58 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: they're literally creating this own little kind of like honeycombed 59 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: secret capital structure. At the cost. I mean, they're spending 60 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 3: more on this than you would spend to build like 61 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: an NBA stadium. 62 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: And what's going to be what's going to be inside 63 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: this annex. 64 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: Well, supposedly it's just more office spaces, more rooms for 65 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 3: all these legislators to work out of it. It's literally 66 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: a physical manifestation of the grotesque enlargement of California state government. 67 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 3: You have to have a bigger capital because we're spending 68 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: more money and doing more stuff, and it's just and 69 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 3: again there's literally you know, it's not like the held 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: at press conference and said, Hi, I'm the arc. 71 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: We're building this up. 72 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 3: Here's the charts, Here's what it's going to be, or 73 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: here's what it's going to cost. Ashley wrote an entire 74 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: story of the millions and millions and millions of dollars 75 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 3: they're spending, importing granted from like Italy put into the capitol. 76 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: I mean we're paying for that, We're paying for that 77 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: Italian granted. 78 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 3: Yeah, but we don't know how much we're paying for it, 79 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 3: because anybody that could tell us is been locked down 80 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: with the non disclosure agreement and has been told del 81 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: w Sou that if they disclose anything, and I've never 82 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: even heard of such a thing. And you know, literally 83 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: after years of covering this, actually like a week ago, 84 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 3: got some of these legislators that are in charge of 85 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 3: us to go on her program, where they proceeded to 86 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: tell everybody exactly nothing. And so the whole thing is crazy, 87 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: and so I think it's going to be one more 88 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 3: of those questions that people are like, Okay, you really 89 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: want this guy to be the president of the United States. 90 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: It's completely nuts. Although so you know, maybe you know, 91 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 3: the whole thing is just crazy. 92 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: He walks, He actually says out loud, it's a taxpayer, 93 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 2: I'd like to know what it costs. 94 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: Well, you know what it costs. You signed the bill 95 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: authorizing the budget. 96 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 3: Oh not only that, not only that, but he has 97 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 3: appointed his office has appointed there's a three member group 98 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 3: that oversees all of this somebody from the state Senate, 99 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: a senator, somebody from the state Assembly, and the governor's representative. So, 100 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: while he's telling us I liked it the hardings that spent, 101 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 3: his representative is in every meeting, making every decision. And 102 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 3: so once again it's a complete pile of dog crap 103 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 3: right that he's literally we've seen this guy before. He's pathological. 104 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 3: He goes on talk radio shows. He goes on television 105 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 3: and he literally says whatever he wants. And because of 106 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 3: all of his friends in the media, this radio show accepted. 107 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 3: You know, nobody calls him on it well, and he 108 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 3: just literally gets the way with saying whatever he wants. 109 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 2: Why so many friends in the media, the listeners and 110 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: the viewers and the readers of these media sites. 111 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: They're the taxpayers paying for this. 112 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: The media's obligation should be to its audience, to the taxpayers. 113 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: Why is there obligation to protecting newsome I don't understand. 114 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. And by the way, the Los Angeles Times, the 115 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: San Francisco Chronicle, the Sacramento all of these newspapers have 116 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 3: standing to go sue the government over these non disclosure 117 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 3: agreements and get the truth out. Do you think any 118 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 3: of them have taken the time to sue the government 119 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: over this? 120 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I want to ask. 121 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: I want to ask, how can it be legal for 122 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: them to force two thousand people to sign non disclosure 123 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 2: agreements over a project that's costing over a billion dollars 124 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: of tax money and the purpose of the building is 125 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: going to be making law in California for the public. 126 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: How can we not have access to every detail and 127 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: understand where every penny went. 128 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 3: Well, understand what they do in California is and this 129 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 3: is really it tells you something about the legislature. Most 130 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: of these invasive laws that they passed that put restrictions 131 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 3: on us or open up the books. In almost every 132 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: one of these laws, they put boilerplate language at the 133 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 3: end it says this public disclosure law shall not apply 134 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: to the legislature or the governor. And so they exempt 135 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: themselves from all these disclosure laws. But I don't think 136 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 3: what they're doing is legal. Hence I was saying somebody 137 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: ought to sue them and get this information. But you know, 138 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 3: the media is more interested in covering his hair than 139 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 3: they are covering his versides. His verside. 140 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: So you know, you mentioned those major newspapers make it up. 141 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: We got to have about twenty five major television stations, 142 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 2: not to mention all the television networks and the cable 143 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: news channels, and nobody nobody wants to take him on. 144 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 3: Well apparently not, you know. So, I mean I've now 145 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 3: written about it today and Ashley's of all of the 146 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: local Sacramento reporter has been writing about it. But it 147 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: has been virtually cricket from the statewide media, and it's 148 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: just a reminder that they do not exist to be 149 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 3: watchdogs on the left. You could be sure if there 150 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 3: was a Republican governor right now or a Republican legislature, 151 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 3: they would be all over it.

The top fifty disasters Governor Gavin Newsom has 200 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 2: ushered into California. We should do it. We should do 201 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: a countdown. We could probably fill four hours of a countdown. Well, 202 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 2: here we go. I'm not going to read all fifty, 203 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,959 Speaker 2: but the ones that some of them are old, some 204 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 2: of them are newly discovered or newly rediscovered because they're 205 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: a few years old and probably everybody's forgotten. How about 206 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: this one. Just found this out a few days ago. 207 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: Under Gavin Newsom, Well, eight hundred and seventeen thousand Californians 208 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: left California in twenty twenty two. Eight one hundred and 209 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: seventeen thousand people left the state in twenty twenty two. 210 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: More than two hundred thousand of them were ages twenty 211 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: five or older, most of them with four year or 212 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 2: two year college degrees, and they went to Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Florida, 213 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: and the Carolinas. Joel Kotkin, the demographicker, scholar, researcher, he 214 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: went through the numbers and you could track how many 215 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 2: people leave the state, how many moved to other states, 216 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: and what their socio income status is, and so what 217 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: you had here is a huge percentage of the two 218 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 2: hundred thousand net migrants lost were college educated. EDI had Nevada, Arizona, Texas, 219 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 2: and Florida. Thousands of businesses have fled to other states. 220 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: That's just one. 221 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: Number two. 222 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: I talk about this all the time, and I'll never 223 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: stop talking about it. Highest taxes in the nation. California 224 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: ranks among the worst for high taxes, the bottom two 225 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 2: for worst for individual taxes, worst gas tax, highest business tax. 226 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: And he's looking for more tax He's trying to pass 227 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: a retroactive billionaire's tax. He's going after two hundred and 228 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 2: twenty billionaires who live in CALIFORNRNIA. And it's going to 229 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 2: make him pay for the past in case they leave, 230 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: and this is going to drive some of them out. 231 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, here's another one. Twenty twenty, he planned 232 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: to close two state prisons. He's closed five. Remember after 233 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: we've passed Prop thirty six over his objections, which made 234 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 2: stealing illegal again and drug use illegal again and created 235 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 2: a set of fentinel laws. While he was so pissed 236 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: that it passed against his objections that he hasn't funded it. 237 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 2: He refuses to funder the treatment programs for the drug addicts. 238 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is the first governor to make homelessness a 239 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 2: way of life. The number of mentally ill drug addicted 240 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 2: people littering the streets with feces and drug needles, tent 241 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: encampments and filth has grown dramatically. I think it's about 242 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty seven thousand in the state. He 243 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: has spent thirty seven billion dollars on homelessness in the 244 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 2: last six years, and homelessness has exploded in the state. 245 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 2: These were all from Katie Grimes and I'm just getting 246 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 2: a fraction of them. You should go to californiaglobe dot com. 247 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 2: You could read the whole list. Eight to twelve dollars 248 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: gas coming. We used to have forty three refineries, We're 249 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: down to seven. Our oil production has declined by sixty 250 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 2: five percent. Our foreign imports have increased by seventy percent 251 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: or increased two seventy percent. Let's not forget the COVID lockdowns, 252 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 2: which destroyed thousands of businesses and destroyed the childhoods and 253 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: the learning capabilities of hundreds of thousands of children. He 254 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: spent four and a half million dollars on free immigration, 255 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: legal services, and of course the big whopper, he passed 256 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: a bill that guaranteed free healthcare to every illegal immigrant 257 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: in the state. It's costing US thirteen billion dollars now 258 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: thirteen billion. The medical program is insolvent, it's broke. What 259 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: do you do with a broke plan like that. Well, 260 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: he's going to cut medical to any poor or disabled, 261 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: elderly person who has two thousand dollars in assets. So 262 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: if your parents or grandparents are down to their last 263 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 2: two thousand dollars, Newsome wants that two grand or they 264 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 2: don't get medical because he blew thirteen billion on illegal aliens. 265 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: That's enough for now.

All right, the question I 280 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: left you with is what is worse in California? A 281 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: speeding ticket or you run over someone with your car 282 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: and kill them. Well, in some cases, the speeding ticket 283 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: is worse. You could speed, no accident, no casualties, You're 284 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: just caught going too fast. In the other case, you 285 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 2: do something and you kill another motorist, a pedestrian, a 286 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 2: bicyclist and you've done something wrong and they charge you 287 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: with a misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, which can be either a 288 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 2: felony or a misdemeanor. So you're guilty of the hicular manslaughter, 289 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 2: but you will get less well, you'll get nothing on 290 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 2: your public record, potentially. We explain Cowmatters, which is another 291 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 2: good news website on California. Since most of the regular 292 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 2: media has abandoned coverage, including just about all the media 293 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: here in Los Angeles, cal Matters has found that there's 294 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 2: something called a misdemeanor diversion program. This was passed in 295 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 2: twenty twenty by the legislature, So a judge can erase 296 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 2: a misdemeanor case from existence what they call low level crimes, 297 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: so you don't have a stigma. 298 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: Because having a stigma, you have a conviction on your record. 299 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: Well, sometimes you can't get work, Sometimes you can't get 300 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: an apartment because nobody wants a criminal in the workplace. 301 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to rent to a criminal, can't trust them. 302 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 2: So they extended this so that you could kill somebody 303 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: while driving, go to a diversion program and you have 304 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 2: that vehicular manslaughter charge wiped off the books as if 305 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,880 Speaker 2: it ever happened again, you've actually killed someone. Here's an example. 306 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 2: Alison Lyman, she had a son named Connor twenty three. 307 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: He's riding his motorcycle. An oncoming car made left turn, 308 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 2: collided with him, and Connor Lopez, a piano teacher, died 309 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 2: in the roadway. Very sad story. The DA's office charged 310 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 2: the driver, Harjeet's Cower, with misdemeanor of vehicular manslaughter because 311 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 2: she did not yield to oncoming traffic and that caused 312 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 2: the fatal crash, killing Connor. And then a prosecutor broke 313 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 2: the news to Alison Lyman, the mun the mother the 314 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 2: case could be wiped off Kwer's record and sealed if 315 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,239 Speaker 2: Kaur asks for a diversion program and a judge grants it. 316 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 2: And Lyman said, I'm forty three. I'll have to live 317 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 2: the rest of my life without my son, but there'll 318 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 2: be no record of it for her. One of the 319 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: officers kept telling her that it's a low level case, 320 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 2: and Lyman said, she took my son's life. But that's 321 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: how they're seeing low level again. It wasn't declared an accident. 322 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 2: She was at fault and charged with vehicular manslaughter and 323 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 2: then it gets wiped away. 324 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: You know, you have to do community service. That kind 325 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: of nonsense. 326 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty, the far left wing let all the criminals, 327 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: Let all the criminals free. State legislature created diversion for 328 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 2: almost all misdemeanors, with few requirements that defendants have to 329 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 2: fulfill even if the prosecutor objects. So defense attorneys are 330 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 2: requesting diversion all the time. That's how shoplifting and drug 331 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: possession got legalized, and now it extends to cases where 332 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: somebody's died. In fact, Heal Matters identified three dozen drivers 333 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: who avoided a vehicular manslaughter conviction by going conviction by 334 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 2: going to a diversion program. So suddenly those three vehicular 335 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: those excuse me, those thirty six vehicular deaths weren't crimes anymore. 336 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: It's as if they never happened. 337 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: I'm the people are still dead, the victims, but none 338 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 2: of the thirty six drivers are at fault. You could 339 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: get a misdemeanor charge if you weren't drunk or driving 340 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: extremely dangerous. However, if you get a traffic tickets, the 341 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: traffic ticket stays on your record. There was a young 342 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 2: man in Los Angeles who felt asleep at the wheel 343 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 2: and ran over a bicyclist. 344 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: He got a red light ticket. 345 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 2: A few months after the judge granted diversion, and then 346 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: he got a speeding ticket. Oh, the speeding ticket, the 347 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 2: red light ticket or on his record. But the incident 348 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: where he fell asleep and ran a bicyclist over and 349 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 2: killed him, not on the record. Here's a story about 350 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 2: a driver involved in a fatal twenty twenty crash. He 351 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: got two tickets last year, then a drudge grant some diversion, 352 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 2: and he got a speeding ticket. Well, all those tickets, 353 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 2: they're permanently on the record, not the accident where he 354 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 2: killed somebody. You know. I read the other day too 355 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 2: that California has some of the weakest DUI law, and 356 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 2: I think we talked about it on the air, some 357 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: of the weakest DUI laws. 358 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: In the country. 359 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 2: And it's just startling because this is such an oppressive 360 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 2: nanny state. And yet when it comes to drunk driving, 361 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 2: when it comes to killing somebody, because you drove so 362 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: badly not so much, you don't go to jail and 363 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: your record is wiped clean. 364 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI am. 365 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 2: Six forty last call of the year for Moistline.
