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 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: day from one until four o'clock. After four o'clock John 4 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. We occasionally 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: talk about Santa Monica because Santa Monica is just in 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: a terrible, frightening shape. When I moved to Los Angeles, 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: Santa Monica was one of my first favorite places to 8 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: go to Third Street Promenade, And now I live near 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,280 Speaker 1: Santa Monica and I kind of can't avoid being there frequently. 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: And there are parts of it that are so frightening 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: because the homeless people, really crazy street people, really scary, dirty, disgusting, 12 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: and they're allowed to roam free. They've ruined a park 13 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: that my wife and I used to like to walk 14 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: in all the time. In there, we can't park in 15 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: the parking garages because there was holmeless people living there 16 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: and urinating and defecating walking. The blocks are scary, and 17 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: last time I walked down the Santa Monica streets at night, 18 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: absolutely terrified and said never again. I mean, while we 19 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,559 Speaker 1: were I think we were at the entrance to a store, 20 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: we were going to get something to eat on the promenade, 21 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: and a crazy homeless guy ended up getting tackled by 22 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: the police across the way. There's all this pushing and 23 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: shoving and yelling. There's a commotion. They've destroyed the Third 24 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: Street promenade. They've destroyed a shopping center. Nordstroms is the anchor. 25 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: And again there's like seventy percent of the story's moved down. 26 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: It's almost entirely due to homelessness and the crime connected 27 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: to homelessness. John Alley's been on our show many times, 28 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: Santa Monica businessman, and now the latest we read a 29 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: story last week from the West Side Current is that 30 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: the libraries are uninhabitable because there's so many crazy drug 31 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: addicts and mental patients and vagrants in there. Let's get 32 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: John on. He was quoted in the story. How are 33 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: you good? 34 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 2: It's an honor, John, It's good. 35 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: It's good to have you on. Let's talk first about 36 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: that West Side Current story about the libraries, which I'm 37 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: sure most people in the world think are still sanctuaries 38 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: if you don't mind the term where children and everybody 39 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: else can come and read or learn to read, or 40 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, engage in, you know, intellectual activities, right, peaceful activities, 41 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: and what I've got in there now, the stories that 42 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: I've done on it, it's filled with creepy guys watching 43 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 1: pornography on computer screens. They're in the bathrooms bathing themselves. 44 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: They're using their needles and leaving the needles everywhere, and 45 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: they're just terrifying people. There's fights outside. Why are they 46 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: allowing this? Well, and I know it's been going on 47 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: for many years, and everybody keeps asking why. 48 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: Well, Jamie's peace was spot on. We think in the 49 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: media is hiding these stories often from the residents and 50 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: the businesses, and it's too bad. It's not only that 51 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: the boards and the commissioners and the city council people 52 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: are at fault, but the vendors are at fault. The 53 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: vendors are getting contracts longer than the terms of the 54 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: city council members staff looks at them. Right now. We've 55 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 2: got a guard service we've talked about inside the libraries, 56 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: just outside getting in even on the day of a 57 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: special retreat on a Saturday, eight o'clock in the morning, 58 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: when the city council was there, a city manager, all 59 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 2: department heads and residents and voters were asked to come 60 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: and listen, and it was impossible to enter from the 61 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: main entry doors. So what the staff did was open 62 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: the side stairwell and everybody went up that way and 63 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 2: sidetracked three homeless people who Jamie tagged in her in 64 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: her article. But that happens on a daily basis. There's 65 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: parking on the side and good guard security is the latest. 66 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: The last one was allied. Universal Time magazine did an 67 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 2: article about them. They interviewed me. I told them I 68 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: wasn't working. I told the city. So the city hired 69 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: a new group. And their cars are ghost cars. They're 70 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: getting out, they're not staying there, and they come back 71 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 2: at the end of their ships and leave. We're seeing 72 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: this as recently, John as yesterday we saw two guys 73 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: on meth in the parking lot. Given it to Sunday, 74 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: but two guys on meth, two people having a fight, 75 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: and we spoke to them and to it come. They're 76 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: cartel members. They work with their cartel, their vendors. They 77 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: come from the pier, they were finished for their job 78 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 2: and they flat out told us that Sinaloa, that gang 79 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 2: and MS thirteen is deeply involved in Santa Monica, and 80 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: most of the people are from south of the border. 81 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 2: And you join or you have to watch your back. 82 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: And these people are coming from skid Row and they're 83 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 2: coming from mccart's a park west Lake and you can 84 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: see him in various areas of Palastatees Park, sometimes Repark, 85 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: but on the pier with the rainbow coloredumbrellas selling everything 86 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: from fruits to. 87 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: Bake goods and and they're from the drug cartels. 88 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: From the drug cartels. They've told us. We've had long 89 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: conversations with them, and they're not afraid to tell us 90 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 2: because that's how they're able to eat, and that's how 91 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 2: they're able to make money. They're not even buying food. 92 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 2: They're they're admittedly walking in to Trader Joe's target and 93 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: stealing what they need to get for that day. 94 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: And are they and they're reselling it under those umbrellas. 95 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: No that that's that those items are given to them 96 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 2: by the cartel. There are warehouses around the city that 97 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: they're using, but they get paid their share and they 98 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: leave and most are on bikes, most are walking, so 99 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: they can't carry much. They've just got enough to last 100 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: for the rest of the day. Or evening. But we've 101 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 2: brought this up to the library board. You spoke about 102 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: the main librarian as far back as March and March 103 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: and April this year. We contacted them and we said 104 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: we'd like to speak at your meeting. We see your agendas. 105 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: The agendas are great, but nowhere on the agenda is 106 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: are there a topic of safety or crime. Safety and 107 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: crime are never mentioned. And you can't even get into 108 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 2: the library without seeing some sort of altercation. And we've 109 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: asked the guards there and they're very frank. There's guards 110 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: in the library lobby and forty five to fifty percent 111 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: of the people there coming during the day are men. 112 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 2: And those same men have told us they're coming to 113 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: charge their phones, charge their computer, charge your phone, usually 114 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: use the bathroom and stare forty five and fifty five 115 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: year old woman. Not really healthy for kids. And that's 116 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 2: what we're trying to to make. 117 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: No, let me ask you something. I'm making a leap here. 118 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: Do the people in city government know everything that you're 119 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: telling me. The people at the libraries know, and they're 120 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: afraid of angering the drug cartels, So they've turned over 121 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: Santa Monica to the cartels because they can't fight them. 122 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: You'd believe that, we'd believe that we the librarians and 123 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: even the park maintenance people are afraid to speak up 124 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: because under our former city manager they would be reassigned, 125 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: put on leave, and in areas and expertise that they 126 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 2: weren't familiar with. So there was a lot of repercussion 127 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 2: and a lot of retaliation under the former city manager, 128 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 2: and the city council said they couldn't do anything about it. 129 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: They needed five votes out of seven. So the Sana 130 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: Monica Coalition did something about it. Through pr we exposed 131 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 2: the fact that in one of his most recent last jobs, 132 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: the city manager had used illegally federal funds and he retired. 133 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: We did it. We did something the city council couldn't 134 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: get done. And this isn't the first time. This has 135 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: been going back for four or five years. Again under 136 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 2: the same librarian. About four years ago, there was a 137 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 2: porn shot at Ocean Park Library inside during the day, 138 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 2: in the children's section of all places, the city looked 139 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: the other way. 140 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: Come on, oh wait a second, they were shooting porn 141 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: videos and the city looked the other way. 142 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 2: Really, he looked the other way. We never found out 143 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 2: who gave him permission to shoot inside, how they got inside. 144 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: Police then under the former chief, promised to investigate, but 145 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 2: as usual, the public never was given any of the results. 146 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 2: Never There was an independent newspaper that did a freedom 147 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:11,359 Speaker 2: of information request and much of what they got was redacted. 148 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: Names were oute. It was just very bland, very vanilla, 149 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: and it was forgotten. And this is how Santa Monica works. 150 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: It's a microcosm of a big city, LA. 151 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: All right, can you hang on the line. I want 152 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: to continue with this in just a moment. By the way, 153 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: the director of the Santa Monica Library system is Erica. 154 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Pay you again. And people should know that this woman 155 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: is allowing this to go on. She's allowing Porton to 156 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: be shot inside a Santa Monica library, among all the 157 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: other things that John Ally is talking about. He's with 158 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: Santa Monica Coalition. People just have no idea. And now 159 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: to know that the park that my wife and I 160 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: have been walking through for years is actually controlled by 161 00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: Mexican drug cartels. This is so heartbreaking and overwhelming. 162 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 163 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: six forty. 164 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: We continue with John Alley Santa Monica businessman Santa Monica Coalition. 165 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: We were discussing first the story in the West Side 166 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: Current about the horrific conditions in the library with homeless 167 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: people and mental patients and drug addicts, and people shooting 168 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: pornography videos in the library and everybody looking the other way, 169 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: and drug cartel members controlling Palisades Park and other areas. 170 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: John is and I only got a few minutes. It 171 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: Is there any response from the public. Are they all 172 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: cool with this? They must be afraid. There must be 173 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: a majority that's terrified and discussed and fed up with this. 174 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 2: Well, they recognize it. A portion of the grant money 175 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: that they received the library, for instance, comes from the Feds. 176 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 2: The Feds have the history museum in the main library. 177 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 2: They get money for that. They don't want this to 178 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: go public. That could be why there's nobody talking about it. 179 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: But the city council members, most of them, have truly 180 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: become agents of chaos, doubling down on stupid. Our Vice 181 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: mayor in December announced during a city council meeting the 182 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: necessity to trump proof the city. That's what we're dealing with. 183 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: We just don't demand accountability from leaders. So they did 184 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 2: these people. 185 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: How did these people, assuming I'm assuming they were normal 186 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: at some point in their life, how did they start 187 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: to embrace all kinds of deviant, dangerous, sick behavior by 188 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: so many people in so many places that used to 189 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: be safe family spaces. How I mean, it's almost like 190 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: a that they've caught some kind of terrible viral disease 191 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: in their brain. 192 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: Selfish and political and financial. The city is run by SMUR. 193 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 2: That's what's that short for Santa Monica. For renters' rights. 194 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: It started forty five years ago, and that was when 195 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 2: rent control was the major issue. Rent control is not 196 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: going anywhere. It's like social security in Santa Monica at least, 197 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 2: it's not going anywhere. And every election they make that 198 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 2: the cornerstone of who they should vote for. So they 199 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 2: have the majority on the city council who goes on 200 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 2: these boards. 201 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: But that's separate from allowing all the mental patients and 202 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,119 Speaker 1: the drug addicts taking over the parks and the libraries 203 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 1: and the beaches. Why do they want that. It's got 204 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,319 Speaker 1: nothing to do with rent control. 205 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: Well, it didn't seem to bother them when we lost 206 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: the beach. Volleyball didn't seem to bother them when we 207 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: lost the American Film Institute for three weeks millions and 208 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 2: millions of dollars. They just don't care. 209 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: All right. At the inside, political people, I get it, 210 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,119 Speaker 1: they got a winning organization there. They're probably all profiting 211 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: from from their group. What about just regular homeowners, just people. 212 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people in Santa Monica who 213 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: are just normal people with families. There aren't enough of them. 214 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 2: Seventy one percent rent, and that's seventy one percent. Quite 215 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: a few come in for high tech jobs and leave. 216 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: We're making great gains by getting the attention of homeowners 217 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: who are seeing this go into their own backyards in 218 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: areas north of Montana and the leafy areas of Santa Monica, 219 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: and the area is a single family residences, we're seeing this. 220 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: They're being affected. Every home and every street in the 221 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: residential areas of Santa Monica interestingly has an alley. Most 222 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 2: of them don't go into the alleys at night, even 223 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: to them to their trash. And even the renters who 224 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: live in rent control departments, the landlords have to have guards. 225 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 2: Now many of them do, and you know that raises 226 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: the cost six hundred one thousand a month, So it's 227 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: not just on the promenade right now, the petty theft 228 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 2: thirty five four hundred dollars a day. It's in the 229 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: residential neighborhoods and it's spreading. So we're finally giving the 230 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: attention and the cooperation of more homeowners. We're going to 231 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: be having a meeting coming up soon. And one great 232 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: thing that I think we've done is we're limited in 233 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 2: city council meetings as to what we can discuss and 234 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: how long usually six minutes. They loath the city council 235 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: meeting with so many items that interested citizens that want 236 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: to come and voice their opinion are cut off. And 237 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: if there's more than a certain number in line and 238 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: they're willing to wait, they still can't talk or they're 239 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 2: limited to a minute. So we've done is something different. 240 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: We've created. We're calling it space on X at the 241 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 2: SMC Coalition, So we're hosting a public space on X 242 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: account beginning tomorrow prior to the council meeting and continuing 243 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: through the council meeting so engage citizens who have to 244 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: travel at dusk and then wait hours for the council 245 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: to hear items on the agenda. Most of which come 246 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: up after they go into closed session and enjoy a 247 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 2: great kitter dinner and come back two hours later. Most 248 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 2: of them have to wait to talk or go home 249 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: and come back. So as the line calls X the 250 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 2: public square, it only seems right that we have a 251 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 2: place for public comment through our public space on X 252 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: as people are prevented from getting their own comments out 253 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: there from time to time, and too many items are 254 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 2: placed on each council agenda period. So we're going to 255 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: all right, I'm gonna warre people be able to talk. 256 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: Okay, John Ally, thank you. We'll have you on again. 257 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 1: Got to run, got to do the news. 258 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A 259 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 3: M six forty. 260 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,959 Speaker 1: We're on every day from one until four o'clock. Then 261 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: after four o'clock John Cobelts show on demand on the 262 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: iHeart App. I had this scary stuff that John Alley 263 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: told us. He's with the Santa Monica Coalition. Just how 264 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: how how the drug cartels have have apparently taken over 265 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: the parks and they're supplying drugs to all the homeless 266 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: people and all the mental patients, and they're working on 267 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: the beaches, they're working in the parks. 268 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: Uh. 269 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: They have control of a large part of Santa Monica 270 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: and nobody's nobody's covering this. 271 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: Uh. 272 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: It's just it's just astounding. What's what's going on there? Uh? 273 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: The uh the US turn for central California, including the 274 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: city in County of Los Angeles, is Bill A. Saily. 275 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: And Bill's been a guest on our show many times 276 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 1: going back to his days as a legislator in Sacramento. 277 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: And the National Review had did a piece on Bill Assaily, 278 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: and he is trying to explain why California has had 279 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: as there's been so much resistance to enforcing federal law 280 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: which most other states accept. This really is a unique situation, 281 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: and we've talked about it on the air, and Assily 282 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: talks about it in the same way. Assaie, who's the 283 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: son of Lebanese immigrants who came to the US. He 284 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: came to the US legally. Here's the quote that jumped 285 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: out at me. You're seeing what I call a public 286 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: temper tantrum because they they like Bassi Newsom, conditioned people 287 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: to believe over the last few years that California is 288 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: special or really is exempt from federal law. It is not, 289 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:14,640 Speaker 1: and that cuts to the heart of this. Newsome always 290 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: talks as if California is a nation state, a state, 291 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: and a nation at the same time. We chart our 292 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: own way, we lead the world. And he actually inhaled 293 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: his own gas and believed it. And now here comes 294 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: Trump and JD. Vance and Bill A. Salee and Tom 295 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: Homan to say, no, you're one of the fifty states, 296 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 1: and the way the law is constructed, the Constitution is constructed, 297 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: you must follow federal law. There's no exceptions here. So 298 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 1: the other forty United States are forced to follow federal law. 299 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: Some of them don't selectively, but the most resistance is 300 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: from California. And I realize people don't know any better. 301 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: It's been so many years of listening to idiots like 302 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 1: Newsom and Garcetti and Karen Bass Jerry Brown, like a 303 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: whole generation has grown up and they had no idea 304 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: that California cannot make its own federal law because it's 305 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: not its own nation. Sanctuary cities are not a thing. 306 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: They don't exist. It's like Newsom trying to claim the 307 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 1: National Guard that Trump can't control it. It's called the 308 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: national Guard. You calling National Guard troops. Every state has 309 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: its own contingent, which the governor can deploy if necessary 310 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,360 Speaker 1: there's a problem within the state. But ultimately Donald Trump, 311 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, they're the commander in chief. 312 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: Newsom is not commander in chief. The National Guard is 313 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: a subset of the US military. But he goes around 314 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: with the fiction that no, no, I'm in charge of 315 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: a federal government military unit. No you're not. I can 316 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: decide that California is a sanctuary from federal immigration law. 317 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: No you can't. But Obama and Biden allowed Newsom to 318 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: get away with it, and Trump, because of all the 319 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: chaos that was going on in the first term, never 320 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: seriously addressed it. And now he's coming better organized, better staffed, 321 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: and it's clear that they had a long term plan 322 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: to take over part of California, the part that was 323 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: not obeying federal law anymore, and a sale. He's got 324 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: it right. So now the toddlers that have enjoyed their 325 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: nation statehood are having the big tantrum. They can't believe it. 326 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: You mean we're not our own country. No you're not. 327 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: There's a Congress, there's a president, there's a US Constitution 328 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 1: that governs you. That supersedes what you want to do 329 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: in the state, and you could go ram your head 330 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: against the wall as many times as you want, just 331 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: like a little kid does. You can follow all the 332 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: lawsuits you want, but federal law superseded state law, period 333 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: full stop. Newsom says, We're still going out and doing 334 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: our enforcement operations. We have not stopped. We will not 335 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: be deterred. And the only thing that's going to happen 336 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 1: is you're going to see more resources come to our district. 337 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 1: If they don't like the number of National guardsmen that 338 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: are here now, they should see how many we get 339 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: if this continues. Yeah, they're gonna ship more National Guard 340 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: members to California, more marines. If they have to govern 341 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: this place from a federal law enforcement standpoint, they will. 342 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: The days of sanctuary cities are over. Like Newsom tried 343 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: to set his own emission standards and now Congress and 344 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: the President took that away. No, you can't do that. 345 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: That's not a thing. You can't have your own emission 346 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: standards and dictate how the auto industry manufactures its cars. 347 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: You can't do that. And you have to follow immigration law. 348 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: And Trump's in charge of the National Guard. Do you 349 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: have any other questions? And Asalia is filing federal charges 350 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: against any of the rioters who broke federal laws. Alejandro 351 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: Orolana is being charged with conspiracy to commit civil disorder, 352 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: aiding a betting civil disorder. He was passing out face 353 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: shields to violent rioters, as Sali said, the face shields 354 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: are designed to protect the writers from chemical splashes and 355 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: flying debris, which helps protect violent agitators from the less 356 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: than lethal weapons deployed by law enforcement. They executed a 357 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: search warrant the FBI at Arelana's home and they found 358 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: a wrist rocket style shing, a wrist rocket style slingshot, ammunition, 359 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: plastic goggles, and a notebook with abbreviations for all cops 360 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: or bastards and murder. They're also going after Adam Palermo 361 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: federal charges and attacking CHP officers, attempted arson of the 362 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: vehicle used in interstate or foreign commerce. You go on 363 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: his social media account, there was a collage of photographs 364 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: and videos depicting someone holding flying debris, HP patrol car 365 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: on fire, and other photos of damage to patrol cars. 366 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: And he took one shot at Alex Padilla because Bill 367 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: Saley was standing near Christy Nome when Padilla burst in 368 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: before he was tackled, and he said, I remember seeing 369 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: an extremely large, tall individual charging at us and screaming. 370 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,120 Speaker 1: We had no idea it was there. I've never met 371 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: him before. I didn't know he was there. I wasn't 372 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: expecting him to be there. And so the security detail 373 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: did its job. Are we come back? Are you a 374 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: mother or are you a pregnant person? 375 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 4: You're never supposed to ask. 376 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: Why. I think that's changing. One BBC anchor woman got 377 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: fed up with it and settled the issue live on 378 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: camera in the middle of a newscast. Yeah, play that 379 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,880 Speaker 1: for you. We come back. And then after three o'clock, 380 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: how many of you knew that Gavin Newsom helped his 381 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: mother commits suicide. Yeah, there's a whole story on this. 382 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 4: I didn't know that. 383 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: And she tried to reveal her decision to Newsom, but 384 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: he was too busy to answer the phone when she called. 385 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: And this was all publicized seven years ago, and a 386 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: story seemed to escape notice. And I bring this up 387 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: because Newsom tried to use his mother's breast cancer over 388 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: the weekend to excuse why he was drinking wine during 389 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: the riots at a fundraiser, and so people now have 390 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: dug up the background story on it all. Right after 391 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: three o'clock. 392 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am 393 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 3: six forty. 394 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 1: We're on from one until four every day. In Great Britain, 395 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: they call the news anchors on television news presenters. 396 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 4: I like that you can call me that. 397 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: You are a radio presenter. 398 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 4: Well, I'm a new I'm a radio news. 399 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: Radio news presenter. 400 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 2: Yes. 401 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: This woman works for the BBC. Her name is Martine Croxel. 402 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: She's been there for over thirty years. And you know 403 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: sometimes you get bad copy written by a newswriter. Oh yeah, yeah, 404 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to decode it on the fly, me too, 405 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: Yeah right, Well, she had one of these woke idiots 406 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: in the newsroom who gave her some copy with a 407 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: phrase that no normal person uses. You're going to hear 408 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 1: her correct the script live on the air. 409 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 5: London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine House released research 410 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 5: which says that nearly six hundred heat related deaths are 411 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 5: expected in the UK. Malcolm Mystery, who was involved in 412 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 5: the research, says that the aged pregnant people, women and 413 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 5: those with pre existing health can made to type precautions. 414 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: The aged aged comma pregnant people, and then she corrected 415 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: it and called pregnant people women and rolled her eyes. 416 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: Might have been more obvious on video, but uh yes, 417 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: she she she got she got upset because she saw 418 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 1: the phrase pregnant people. What about aged, well, aged is 419 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: old people. It's like two separate categories. I know you 420 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: don't like aged. 421 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 4: I don't, No, I don't know. It's just it sounded 422 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 4: very pregnant too, prong. 423 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 6: Aged pregnant people, I mean aged pregnant women. 424 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 4: Whatever. 425 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 6: It's it's weird. That was written, very strange. 426 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: That is very bad, badly written by all counts. Uh 427 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: she she rolled her eyes and uh she she'd seen 428 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: this on the uh from the teleprompter. Uh it was 429 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: research from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical The 430 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 1: British use the English language, but they don't use it 431 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: in the same way we do. And the newscast went 432 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: viral on social media, with most people happy that she corrected. 433 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: That is the worst phrase I've ever heard in my life. 434 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: Pregnant people. I don't think I've taken the like the 435 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: most sacred thing that women are capable of doing. I mean, 436 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: the just the single thing, the very top thing that 437 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: separates men from women. They have the ability to reproduce 438 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: and make a new human being in their womb. Yeah, 439 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: and they won't give it. Credit to the to the 440 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: to the sex, to the species that can pull this off. 441 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: There is no person who gives pregnant, who gives birth 442 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: to a child who's a man. That's another thing. It's 443 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: not a thing. Oh, I was giving a list of 444 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: stuff that's not a thing here in California. How California 445 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: thinks it's its own nation. No, it's not. You can't 446 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: violate all these laws, you can't violate the Constitution. This 447 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: is another one. Pregnant men not a thing, doesn't exist. 448 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: I started. You know, occasionally I look up stuff on 449 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: the internet, medical sites, big medical sites, you know, the 450 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: Male Clinic, the Cleveland Clinic. Right, might be some medical 451 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: issue I hear about my family, or there's a story 452 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: that has a medical issue, and I go to these 453 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: medical sites to see what they say, and I run 454 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: across these bizarre woke phrases like sex assigned at birth, 455 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: not not boy or girl whatever, sex assigned at birth. 456 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: That there's no such thing. You're born a certain sex. 457 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: It's not a sign to you. There isn't a committee 458 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: of sex assignment experts. And this is part of the 459 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: crap that that's are just like a sewage system of 460 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: garbage phrases and garbage concepts. That's total nonsense. You were 461 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: a pregnant woman, Yes. 462 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 4: I'm still a woman. I'm no longer pregnant. 463 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: That would have been a long overdue base. 464 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 4: Yes, it would. That story went somewhere. I never thought 465 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 4: it would. 466 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 6: I thought it was going to be about you know, 467 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 6: when you're heavy and you ask somebody, hey, are you pregnant? 468 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,200 Speaker 4: You're not sure if they're heavy or they're pregnant. 469 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 1: Yes, I thought anybody ever grabbed your your pregnant belly. 470 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 4: I think there were people that that touched. 471 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: It became like a public property. 472 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:00,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't like that. 473 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: At My wife was in a restaurant once in Malibu 474 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: and first baby, she looked really pregnant, right, and a 475 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: woman actually walked up to her and grabbed her belly 476 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: and shook it in said, God, are you having triplets? 477 00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 4: Oh geez?

She might have tilted have tipped over. 480 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 4: That's crazy. I don't understand. 481 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. Apparently if you stick out far enough 482 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: people think that it's uh no, touch part of the 483 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: public space. All right, Debor Mark Ly, Oh we come back. 484 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: Did you know that Gavin Newsom helped his mother commit suicide? 485 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 6: And you're not supposed to say commit suicide. You have 486 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 6: to say died by suicide. That's that's the thing. 487 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: Where'd you get that one? 488 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 4: The deed Hirsh Mental Health Center? 489 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 6: And I mean, but it's it's it's definitely because when 490 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 6: you we used to say you commit suicide, and it 491 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 6: makes it seem like it's a crime. 492 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 4: So they like, so it's not. 493 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, we'll get into the Newsom situation coming up, 494 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: Debor Mark Liden the KFI twenty four Hour newser Hey, 495 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast.
