1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the air

3
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: one to four and then after four o'clock John Cobelt

00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 1: Show on demand on the other Heart app as well.

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: We're going to start with this was big news today.

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: You know, we are all very frustrated that they let

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: all these smash and grab thugs run the streets to

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: steal whatever they want and terrorize us. And we have

9
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: nobody on our side. We don't have the city council,

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: the mayor, the La County supervisors. We have nobody, nobody

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: on our side, not even the judges. LA County Superior

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Court judges decided that there should be zero bail for

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: all misdemeanors and some felonies. Twenty nine cities went to

14
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: court to challenge that they had to go to Orange

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: County because there was a conflict of interest obviously, fight

16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: out in La County. Here's a quick oversight from ABC

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: seven reporter Jessica de Nova.

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: It's back to the drawing board for more than two

19
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: dozen La County cities who say they want to put

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: an end to no cash bails. That was a judge's

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: order Monday in Orange County Superior Court. We'd be looking

22
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: to address the issues the court has raised, and we'll

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: have to consult with our clients before we can determine

24
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 2: what that is going to look like. At the start

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: of October, the LA Superior Court's new misdemeanor and felony

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: bail schedules kicked in, but twenty nine cities, including Whittier,

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: filed an injunction, saying the schedules don't take public safety

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: into account.

29
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 3: We understand there are times where zero bail is appropriate

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: on some of these offices, but to basically throw the

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: baby out with the bathwater, that's what they did in

32
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 3: this and they didn't come talk to us.

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: LA Superior Courts Executive Officer and Clerk argues data released

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: at the end of October shows the new schedules work.

35
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,279
Speaker 3: Looking forward to updating that data so that the public

36
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: does begin to see really the fruits of the fact

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: that the data shows that it's working as we anticipated

38
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 3: it was.

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 2: Judge William Claster not making a decision Monday, instead giving

40
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: the cities more time to file an amendment. Both parties

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: are scheduled to return to court on March eighth.

42
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: All right, that was Jessica Duova for ABC seven. We're

43
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: not going to talk with Whitty or mayor Joe Vinettieri.

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: See hey, Joe, how are you? How are you doing?

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I imagine this was very frustrating to have this blocked

46
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: the first time you appealed to a judge.

47
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, indeed was very frustrating. And the judge came out

48
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 4: with a tendentive decision in the morning that kind of

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 4: laid out his thinking and where he was going. But

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 4: I got to tell you our attorney, see attorney Kim,

51
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: She's a bulldog, and she got right back relative to

52
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: a bunch of things, making points that I think the

53
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 4: judge knows that there's a problem with this, a big problem.

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 4: The problem is is he indicated does he an Orange

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: County Spirit Court judge has the authority to overturn all

56
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: the judges And even though it was a couple of

57
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: the judges that made this decision for the La County

58
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: Spirit Court, it's in the attorney for the judges made

59
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 4: the statement yesterday two or three times, it's all the

60
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 4: judges of La County. Does the Orange County judge does

61
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 4: he have the authority to overturn all the judges of

62
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: La County. And that's what this comes down to. And

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 4: the answer is yes, because if something's wrong, it's wrong.

64
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: Well, I thought. He also said that there's no nothing

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: in the constitution that requires bail. Having zero bail policies

66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: do not do not violate the constitution. Is that true

67
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: in your view?

68
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: No, No, it's in the constitution. Bail is in the

69
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: California constitutions in the United States Constitution are about fathers

70
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: put it in the US Constitution.

71
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, is it a violation to choose zero bail?

72
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: But my belief is it is. Uh And and I

73
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: made it clear and I think you well, it was

74
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 4: in one of the reports. I said, look at there

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: are clearly some offices that zero bail. I think it's

76
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: it's reasonable, it's okay. But there's a whole bunch of

77
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 4: offices now that just got wrapped up into site release.

78
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 4: And that's basically when you get you get a ticket

79
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: from HP or where for driving to fast, you signed

80
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 4: the piece of paper and you're cited and because you

81
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: promised to appair your release.

82
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 1: Well, I know we have an absurd legislature. Could the

83
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: legislature conceivably make it law that judges would have to

84
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: provide bail procedures for all misdemeanors and felonies.

85
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 4: Well, John, remember they basically the California legislature said zero bail.

86
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 4: It was signed by the governor and that was in

87
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: I think twenty sixteen or twenty eight I'm trying to

88
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 4: get my years correct. But then a referendum was brought

89
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: on behalf of the people of the city at California

90
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 4: and said no, we disagree with that legislative pronouncement and

91
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: we're going to overturn it. And the people of California

92
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: overturned it by fifty eight percent.

93
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: I remember that. Yeah, remember, okay, but now we have

94
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: the judges getting getting rid of bail anyway, they invoked

95
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: zero bail, So I see. So I'm really confused here

96
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: who gets the call on this? Is it the judges,

97
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: the legislature, the people. Did that referendum mean anything legally

98
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: or was it just to everybody venting their fury referendum?

99
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: That referendum was from the over the legislature which said

100
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 4: all counties, fifty eight counties go to zero bail. The

101
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 4: people threw that out and said no, we disagree with

102
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: the governor in the legislature.

103
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: But I guess it wasn't legally binding on the La

104
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: County judges.

105
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 4: Well it it goes back to the state law and

106
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 4: there's a Penal Code section somewhere here that basically says

107
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 4: the judges set up the bail schedule in each particular county.

108
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 4: So in La County decided to go to zero bail.

109
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 4: Remember during COVID, a lot of the counties, most of

110
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: the counties went to zero bail because they didn't want

111
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 4: to stick people, incarceraate them and you have a huge,

112
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 4: a huge pandemic, bigger than I already was. So they

113
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 4: went along with zero bail. But there was a very

114
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 4: important thing that the judges here in La County did

115
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: that they did not do in this twenty twenty three schedule,

116
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 4: and that is they said, look it, if you get

117
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: zero bail, fine, you're out promised to appear, but you

118
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 4: promised to show up, but you better not go reoffend,

119
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: because if you go reaffen, if you commit another crime,

120
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 4: then now you're going to be back against the bail

121
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: schedule for that particular crime. They forced they forced them

122
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: to do that, and that it worked during that period

123
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: of time. The judges this time, they didn't do that.

124
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean this is part of this is hard,

125
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: part of the entire progressive religion. Don't arrest, don't prosecute,

126
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: don't have bail, don't have jail, don't have prison, and

127
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: on all live fronts they have successfully in some cases

128
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: just destroyed those concepts. I mean they destroyed bail, the

129
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: concept that bailed for many crimes.

130
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: That that's correct, and this is all about their Okay.

131
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: So what's the what's the remedy if the judges are

132
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: now in on this? Right, we've got these progressive whack

133
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: job judges here in La County. Who do we go

134
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: to next? The legislature is not helping. We can't get

135
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: the county supervisors to help. But who do we go to?

136
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: We passed a referendum. What works here?

137
00:07:59,600 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 3: Now?

138
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: How do we get control of this?

139
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: So we elect the right people? All right? And I

140
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 4: need to talk to you about you know where I

141
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 4: staid on our current district attorney. We were one of

142
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 4: the third of what thirty seven cities to find no

143
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 4: confidence in Gasconne. So you elect right people and elections

144
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: have consequences. But John here's what I want to say.

145
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: What's really bothersome about this is, in my view, this

146
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: is nothing more than a social experiment. Zero social experiment

147
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 4: has been perpetrated on the good people of Vali County.

148
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 4: And what was bothered some yesterday in front of the

149
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 4: court in Orange County was he basically went ahead and said, well,

150
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 4: there's studies that say that show that non financial release

151
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: terms adequately addressed public.

152
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: Oh, their studies are complete lies. Studies are garbage. I'm

153
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: just telling you, I'm sick of all their stupid studies.

154
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: I've got eyes. I know what it's like being outside.

155
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: Everybody's terrified of standing in a retail store now, especially

156
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: an expensive retail store, because they think thirty guys are

157
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: going to bust in wearing hoodies and they're gonna they're

158
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: gonna completely decimate the place.

159
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know what, lawlessness is a muck all right,

160
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: And people need to be very careful. They got to

161
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 4: watch their circumstances around them, and they need to make

162
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: sure they support their local police and sheriffs. That's what

163
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 4: they got to do.

164
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: I know the police and sheriffs are willing to arrest

165
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: these guys and put them in jail. But it's the

166
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: next level up from the street police. It's it's the

167
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: district attorney, it's the city Council, the county supervisors, the Assembly,

168
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: the state Senate, and now the judges. The judges are

169
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: in the tank too. They've all got this progressive disease. John.

170
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: The unfortunate thing is we have some very very fine

171
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 4: judges in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

172
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, Attorney, I haven't heard one of them

173
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: publicly oppose this policy.

174
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 4: And that's an issue because the attorney for the judges

175
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 4: yesterday said, no, this is an action by all the

176
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: judges of Los Angeles County. And you know what, I

177
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 4: don't want to have a conflict of interest, but I

178
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: know a couple of judges I'd love to go up

179
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 4: and ask them and say, do you really agree with this?

180
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 4: Is this the right thing to do from your standpoint? So,

181
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I've had a couple retired LA County Supira

182
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 4: Corps judges say this is crazy, and they said, keep working,

183
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 4: stand up against this.

184
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: This is wrong, and well, you know what, it would

185
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: help us they went public here, because right now it

186
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: looks like everybody's rolled over.

187
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: It would but you know, John, we're not rolling over.

188
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 4: We have one of the interesting things in here. When

189
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 4: I just told you that this is nothing more than

190
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: a social experiment, the only only study that's in California

191
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 4: is in the Eolo County and the Eulod County DA

192
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: looked at it and said, oh no, there's a high incident. Yeah,

193
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 4: of real, I.

194
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: Know they've got we see the way it works, the game,

195
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: and you know this that they come up with a

196
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: bunch of fake study, a bunch of fake studies, and

197
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: then they get everybody arguing over the minutia of the studies.

198
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: Forget the studies, forget the minutia of it. All right.

199
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: You know up front it's a load of crap, all right.

200
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: It's meant to distract everybody and get you involved in

201
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: a side argument. Joe, I gotta go running late. All right.

202
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: We'll have you on again soon. Thank you.

203
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: I got so much more for you, but good, thank

204
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 4: you for bringing this up.

205
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: All right, what are your mayor, Joe Vinettieria? He is

206
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: fighting because La County has zero bail on a lot

207
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: of crimes now and judge in Orange County at the

208
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: moment won't do anything about it. It's the John Cobelt

209
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Show live on the iHeartRadio app.

210
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.

211
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: Forty run here one to four and then after four

212
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. Thank you. Uh. I

213
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: don't know if you noticed over the weekend, but about

214
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, the California state government

215
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: had a one hundred billion dollar surplus, one hundred billion

216
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: dollar surplus. Ah and now Gavin Newsom has so botched

217
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: and mismanaged the state. We have a sixty eight billion

218
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: dollar deficit, sixty eight billion dollar deficit. So we went

219
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: from one hundred billion plus surplus to a sixty eight

220
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: billion dollar minus one hundred and sixty eight billion dollar swing.

221
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: And they they don't know what to do because do

222
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, since Gavin Newsom took office five years ago,

223
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: the size of the government spending in California went up

224
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: fifty percent, fifty percent. It's just shocking. He blew so

225
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: much money on homeless people, illegal aliens. Right now, they're

226
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: trying to roll back a minimum wage law for healthcare workers.

227
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: They had passed it to give healthcare workers twenty five

228
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: dollars an hour, except this applied to state employee healthcare workers.

229
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: And now the legislators realize and NWSOM realizes, we can't

230
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: afford this, so they want to take the money back.

231
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: By the way, over the next four years, they're expecting

232
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: a total deficit over one hundred and fifty five billion

233
00:13:51,160 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: dollars through twenty twenty eight. Because California has been in

234
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: a recession for the last year. You know, we have

235
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: the second highest unemployment number in the country, which gets

236
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 1: no coverage, zero coverage, and even Sean Hannity could not

237
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: break through or refuse to break through Newsom's babble to

238
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: point that out. We have a very high unemployment rate.

239
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: The number of unemployed workers has risen two hundred thousand

240
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: since the summer of last year. Also, you had the

241
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: stock market took a big hit earlier in the year

242
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: and it reduced their their expected stock market winnings. Because

243
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: much of our budget is from wealthy people, wealthy people

244
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: capital gains taxes, I mean, wealthy people make their money

245
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: on capital gains, stock options. That's the whole tech crowd.

246
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: Newsom is always very misleading because he talks about how

247
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: large the economy is in California. It's comparable to well,

248
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: it's like the fifth largest in the nation, but it

249
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: is concentrated among extremely well paid tech workers. Twenty five

250
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: percent of the state is below the poverty line. They're

251
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: on medicaid. Say that's true in Los Angeles. Twenty five

252
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: percent of the population of Los Angeles is below the

253
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: poverty line. It so they have a very lopsided tax structure.

254
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: The and.

255
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: Wealthy people pay most of the income tax in this state.

256
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: Like the top one percent pays fifty percent of the

257
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: income tax. Some of the top one percent has a

258
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: bad stock market year, the whole the whole state budget

259
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: goes into the toilet. And this is what's happened. Top

260
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: one percent pays fifty percent of the state income tax.

261
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: The top ten percent pays twenty eight percent. Remember that

262
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: next time you hear some more on gal On. The

263
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: rich just have to pay their fair share. They are,

264
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: they're paying fifty percent of the income tax total. In fact,

265
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: the top ten percent, I'm going to say it again,

266
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: pay pay twenty eight percent. So that's seventy eight percent

267
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: of the money comes from the top ten percent. But

268
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: the NASDAK dropped in twenty twenty two, dropped by a third,

269
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: and that was the greatest drop since the Great Recession

270
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: of eight And that's where all the tech stocks in

271
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: California are located in the Nasdaq Index. The lower sixty

272
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: percent of earners in California pay only around two percent

273
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: of the income tax. I know that's a lot of numbers,

274
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: but you have to understand that the lower sixty percent

275
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: of earners pay only about two percent, the top ten

276
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: percent pays eighty percent, and the top ten percent clustered

277
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: in the tech industry at a really bad year in

278
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and it's spilled over into twenty twenty three,

279
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: and Gavin Newsom went on a spending spree that if

280
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: you knew the details, your hair would fall out. But

281
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: of course he wants to be president, right, He's bankrupted

282
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: the state in addition to all the other stupid things

283
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: he's done. He's bankrupted the state and now they're begging

284
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: to get the raises they promised the healthcare workers back.

285
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,760

00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 1: too many details now, I actually I really don't know

303
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: how to handle this. I mean I'm very suspicious obviously,

304
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: because the math doesn't add up to me. You know,

305
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: there was a there's been a big story and you

306
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: might have heard on the Devor's News Karen bass Alde

307
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: press conference. She's doing her one year anniversary victory lap

308
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: about all the wonderful things she claims to have done.

309
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: And they claim that they've housed twenty one thousand homeless people.

310
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: They put them. They moved them inside temporary shelters, motals, whatever,

311
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty one thousand, and I'm having trouble accepting that. I mean,

312
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: I want the homeless off the street. I think we

313
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: all want her to succeed on this issue. Anybody right,

314
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: She's the only mayor we have. But I'm having trouble

315
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: believe in this because according to the Greater Los Angeles

316
00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 1: Homeless count an estimated's seventy five thousand plus homeless people.

317
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: We're out on the streets seventy five thousand at the

318
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: beginning of twenty twenty three in the city of Los Angeles,

319
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: forty six thousand. Now bass is claiming that twenty one

320
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: thousand have been moved inside. Does it feel like almost

321
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: half the homeless are off the streets in the city

322
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: of la as you're driving around, I mean, Eric, you're

323
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: up in the valley. I don't see that where I am,

324
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: half the homeless people are gone.

325
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say half the homeless people in the valley

326
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 7: are gone at all.

327
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know where they're gone. If she's claiming

328
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: twenty one thousand out of forty six.

329
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 6: Thousand they just move around, there will be a homeless

330
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 6: camp somewhere saying Woodland Hills and that will get cleaned up,

331
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 6: and then you see it's a couple blocks away, so they.

332
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: Just kind of move when the home. All right, let's

333
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: say there, let's say we'll make this up. Right, there's

334
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: one hundred people at a homeless camp and within the hills, right,

335
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: they move them indoors inside safe. But eventually these people

336
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: leave and they go outdoors again.

337
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 6: Just to a different place right doors.

338
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: And then they're that homeless encampment is closed and the

339
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: hundred people go back inside and then they're out again.

340
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,959
Speaker 1: So she's gonna claim, well, I cleaned up two hundred people,

341
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: except they're all back out. How many of them are

342
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: back out? Because this is all temporary housing. They've only

343
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: had permanent housing for about two hundred. So out of

344
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: the twenty one thousand they claim to have housed, only

345
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: two hundreds in permanent housing. I just don't trust this math,

346
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: and I also trust my eyes well.

347
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 7: And like Deborah saying, they clean one encampment up and

348
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 7: then they just move to the next spot, right, Like,

349
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 7: there's a target on Ventura Boulevard near DeSoto, and there

350
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 7: was a large homeless encampment on Ventura Boulevard right there.

351
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 7: RV's tents everything. They clean that up. But you go

352
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 7: a few blocks down Ventura and there's a Trader Joe's.

353
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 7: And in the back of the Trader Joe's, closer to

354
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,479
Speaker 7: the freeway, there's a whole new homeless encampment.

355
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 6: Oh though that one is gone now they cleaned that up.

356
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 1: Oh that is gone. Oh okay, So I haven't driven

357
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: by there in a little bit. Okay. So when that

358
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: crowd reappears somewhere else, yeah, exactly. You know, they show

359
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: up in a Whole Foods parking lot next, which is

360
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 1: two blocks down right, exactly, So they keep taking credit

361
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: for all these bodies. I remember Garcetti pulled this until

362
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: Ron Galprin, who was the city controller, he blew the

363
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: whistle and said, no, they're double and triple counting. They're

364
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: collecting the same people off the streets over and over again.

365
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: They don't stay indoors for very long. They go back

366
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: outdoors in a different lot and a different a different encampment.

367
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: And that's why I can't trust this stuff.

368
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 7: Are they not taking people's names and they're just counting

369
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 7: one homeless person, two homeless person, three homeless persons, then

370
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 7: they're not actually identifying these people.

371
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't know at this press conference to hear any

372
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: reporters asking any kind of penetrating question questions. I mean,

373
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean to prove that you're taking actually twenty one

374
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: thousand separate bodies off the street and there remaining off

375
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: the street, or are you taking five thousand people off

376
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: the street four times over and now all of them

377
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: are back on. The big headlight was that LA had

378
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: cleared fifty motor homes from a homeless encampment in the

379
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: Hollywood Hills. This was at Barn Boulevard and Forest Lawn Drive,

380
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: near Universal and Warner Brothers Studios, just down the road

381
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: from us. And they've dismantled now. They dismantled the RVs

382
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:49,959
Speaker 1: also at Boyona Wetlands and a few other places as well.

383
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: And these are the encampments where they have van lords.

384
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: These are these evil bastards who rent out dilapidated, broken

385
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: down RVs to people and charge them four or five

386
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: hundred a month. And it's taken the city chest forever

387
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: years to figure out what to do. I never understood

388
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 1: why they just don't get a tow truck and just

389
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: work day and night twenty four to seven for as

390
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: long as it takes, and just haul them out to

391
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: some junkyard and have them all compressed and crushed. But

392
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: I can't accept and nobody will explain. And you know,

393
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: the thing is, we don't have a counter government because

394
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: we don't have an independent party or Republican party, just

395
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: any kind of competitive party to blow the whistle and say,

396
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: Karen Bass is full of it. Here's how she's cooking

397
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: the numbers. Everybody's on the same side. You know. The

398
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: controller is now a member of the Democratic Socialists of America,

399
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: which is and that group supports the Hamas Terras shows

400
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: you there where they're coming from. In fact, there's three

401
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: city council members belong to the DSA, again supports the

402
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 1: Hamas terrorists. So it's not like you can go to

403
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: them and ask what's up right? Who do you go?

404
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: Who do you go to ask and say, hey, are

405
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: these numbers for real? Doesn't look like that to my eyes.

406
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: Looks like they're getting moved around a lot. But you're

407
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: counting twenty one thousand off the street, Well, that would

408
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 1: be almost half. Does it look like almost half? Does

409
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: it feel like almost half? You know? It's nice for

410
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: any particular neighborhood. If that encampment gets moved, that is great.

411
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: But if it's just creating another problem down the road,

412
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: at least admit it. I can't stand these self congratulatory

413
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: press conferences and they're covered without any criticism, without any

414
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: pointed questions. When did the whole media become provda? Like

415
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: the whole Southern California media out here is pravda. They

416
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: just amplify. They're all doing public relations for whoever's in power.

417
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: It's really frustrating. John John Cobelt Show Live on the

418
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app.

419
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six.

420
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: Forty run one till four and then after four o'clock

421
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app as well.

422
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: I think I'm I'm more than half. I got right

423
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: to it. I was gonna say, I think you're shooting

424
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: about fifty percent. Yeah, okay, slow, start hot, finish.

425
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 7: Uh.

426
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: For those of you who live in Castaic, maybe maybe

427
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: you know about this. If you're just standing outside in

428
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: Chiquita Canyon, there's a landfill inkostatic and the garbage. There's

429
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: some kind of toxic chemical reaction in the garbage. It's

430
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: not a fire, but temperatures in the garbage have climbed

431
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: to more than two hundred degrees, and so there's there's

432
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: burned garbage stink going through the neighborhoods. There's another landfill

433
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 1: in Silmar, in Sunshine Canyon twelve miles away, and the

434
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: water from all the storms we had early in the

435
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: year percolated seeped into the Silmar landfill, and that fueled

436
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: bacteria growth. So that's its own set of disgusting odors.

437
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: So you got two of La County's largest landfills, and

438
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: they both have incredibly foul odors. One of them the

439
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: garbage is cooking, even aagine garbage of two hundred degrees,

440
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: and the other one it's bacteria stink. So there's toxic gases,

441
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: water gets polluted, there's thousands of complaints about the odors,

442
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: and nobody knows what to do. People want the landfill

443
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: shut down, although that's not gonna stop the stink. But

444
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: both landfills accept more than seven thousand tons of trash

445
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: a day, seven thousand tons. But of course, if you

446
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: shut down the two landfills, where are you gonna put.

447
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean every day much that much garbage shows up,

448
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: and in fact, it's so hot inside that to staic

449
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: landfill Chiquita Canyon. The pressure is building up inside the

450
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: garbage and it's forcing contaminated water to burst out of

451
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: the top. It's it's it's expanding in all directions. In fact,

452
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: it is now this, this bizarre effect has spread to

453
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: thirty five acres. Thirty five acres of garbage is now

454
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: cooking and percolating and sending toxic gases into the air.

455
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: The heat has melted or deformed the gas collection system

456
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: in the landfill, which is made of polyvinyl chloride casings. Wow,

457
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: that's foul. There's a community called Valverde, three thousand residents.

458
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: They walk around with headaches, dizzy spills, and they can't breathe.

459
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: One guy, Stephen Howe, said, the oders are so bad

460
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: that my wife and I are getting sick inside our house,

461
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: but the doors and windows closed. My kids can't go outside.

462
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: My son can't jump on the trampoline. And the odors

463
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: are the result of a rare chemical reaction and a

464
