I dropped out in the same place at 32 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: the same time. I guess it's the terrain, lack of towers. 33 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: But at any event, All right, now he's back. Hey, Roger, 34 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: how are you. 35 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 3: I'm good.

So in Los Angeles Superior Court, the court has 43 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: what's called a model protective order, and it's an order 44 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 3: that's routinely entered in cases to protect things like social 45 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: security numbers, or highly sensitive financial information. So those are 46 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: entered routinely in almost every case, and there's such an order. 47 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 3: In our case, the court ordered these depositions of that 48 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: IFD firefighters, and they just started yesterday and at the 49 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 3: end of the first one, the city attorney says, we're 50 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 3: we're going to designate the totality of this transcript confidential. 51 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 3: And we I mean, these are firefighters who were eyewitnesses. 52 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 3: They're on the scene. They're not talking about private financial 53 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: information or trade secrets or anything like that. They're talking 54 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: about what they saw. And that's been what the city 55 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: has done with now all five depositions that have been taken. 56 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: At the end of each deposition, they said, we're designating 57 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 3: the totality of the content of the transcript confidential so 58 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 3: that we can review it for the next thirty days 59 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: and then let you know at the end of thirty 60 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: days whether we really think there's anything confidential in there 61 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: and there's nothing confidential in there. I'm going to be 62 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 3: eager to see after thirty days is up what they 63 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: come up with, because, like I said, these are these firefighters. 64 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: My view is they want to be hurt. They want 65 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: people to know what they saw. What they did. And 66 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 3: now as as a result of this designation by the city, 67 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 3: that's going to be delayed, you know, unless we can 68 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 3: get the judge to intervene early. 69 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: And they were describing their role in fighting the fire, 70 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: fighting the fire and what they did and what they saw. 71 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, these depositions were limited by the judge to what 72 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: occurred between January one at the Lockman fire and ten 73 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: thirty in the morning on the seventh, So the Lockman fire, 74 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 3: fire suppression and then the Lockman fire mop up. This 75 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: is the key time period when we're focused on what 76 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: happened in those days and why did the Palisades fire start. 77 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: As a result, that will rekinble, rekindle of members that 78 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 3: were smoldering from the Lockman fire. So this is this 79 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 3: is what these firefighters did, what they saw, what they heard. 80 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: And I got to tell you, having now met several 81 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 3: of them, I proposed a battalion shape named Martin Mullin 82 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 3: this morning and I could just see in his face 83 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: he wants so badly to tell everybody and these are 84 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 3: the boots on the ground, guys. I want to be 85 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 3: real clear here. This is not the top brass. These 86 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 3: are the guys boots on the ground in the field. 87 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: They want to be heard, and that's my view that 88 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 3: they want to be heard. They want people to know 89 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 3: what they did. And for the moment that's not going 90 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: to happen. 91 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: And how long could they keep this test only suppressed. 92 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: Well, it's the procedure is and like I said, normally 93 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: this is set up for where somebody's talking about you know, 94 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: private financial information or social security numbers or trade secrets. 95 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 3: This procedure exists just to allow somebody and that kind 96 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 3: of a depth is to go in and make sure 97 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 3: they've identified all the spots they want to keep. And 98 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 3: it's usually piecemeal, it's a couple of pieces of information 99 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 3: the city has now and I want to be clear, 100 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 3: this is not LAFD. This is the city. The city 101 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 3: attorneys have said, we want the totality everything these guys 102 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 3: said for the next thirty days to be under lock 103 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: and key, so that we can now go in and 104 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 3: then I see if there's really anything in there that's confidential, 105 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 3: and then what happened, Well, then if they can't identify 106 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: anything confidential, it all comes out anyway. So you know 107 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: why this is a delay tactic is that they don't 108 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 3: want for thirty days. They don't want what these guys 109 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 3: have said thus far, and there only five have been 110 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 3: deposed thus far. They want for thirty days. This to 111 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 3: be a mystery. We can't release the transcript, we can't 112 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: release the video because they want to have the opportunity 113 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: to go in and see if there's really anything confidential 114 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: at the end of the thirty days, unless they can 115 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 3: show that there's something confidential that it all comes out anyway. 116 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: Could there be could there possibly be anything confidential about Well, 117 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 2: I'm going. 118 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 3: To give you my read No, I mean I like 119 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: I said, the depositions that I took, and and we're 120 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: because we're doing two and three a day. Some of 121 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 3: my co counsel are taking depots. So the ones that 122 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 3: I've taken, the witnesses are just talking about, you know, 123 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: and again without getting into the into the particulars. Yeah, 124 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: what saw, what they heard? 125 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: What they did? 126 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: You know, That's that's the point of these depositions, And 127 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 3: it's it's nothing having to do with you know, their 128 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: private lives, their finance is nothing, it's just what did 129 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 3: you say, what did you hear? What would you do? 130 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: Now? 131 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: What if the city tries to designate their normal testimony 132 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: about how they fought the fire as confidential. Could could 133 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 2: they Could they abuse the process here or would a 134 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: judge overrule them and say no, come on, what do 135 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: you do in here? 136 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's really the role of the judge. 137 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: It never should get to that. But if they came 138 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 3: forward and said, well, here, here are the particular portions 139 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 3: of these depositions that we think are confidential, and if 140 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 3: we say, you know, they're not, we then have a 141 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: right to go in to see the judge, and the 142 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 3: judge will will either say they're confidential or not. And 143 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 3: like I said, without getting into the particulars, having taken 144 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 3: several of these depositions, it's just what they saw, what 145 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: they heard, what they did out in the palaces. They're 146 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 3: out in the hills above the palisades doing their work, 147 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: and there's members of the public hiking by and around them, 148 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 3: and so how that could be deemed confidential is again 149 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: I'm going to be eager to see what they possibly 150 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 3: could designate as being necessary to keep from the public. 151 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 3: You know, the reason these protective orders exist. There's some 152 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 3: things that are so private you need to keep them 153 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: from the public. Yeah, the public needs to know all 154 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: of this stuff, and I'm going to tell you. And again, 155 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 3: having met a couple of these firefighters, these are the 156 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 3: boots on the ground. Guys. They want to be hurt. 157 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 3: In my view, I'm watching them. I'm seeing in their 158 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: faces they want to tell their story and for the 159 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: moment they're they're they're not going to be allowed to 160 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: do that. 161 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: All right, Roger, thank you for coming on, and we'll talk. 162 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: We'll talk to you, so, yeah, we'll talk to you soon. 163 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: Eventually we're going to get the truth.

Depositions are being taken over the last 171 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 2: couple of weeks. And yes, there were two firefighters, Caesar 172 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 2: Garcia and Michael Contraras, and there's going to be more 173 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: firefighters as well. And yesterday city attorneys, Karen Vass's attorneys 174 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 2: told the judge they want the testimony and the deposition 175 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: to be sealed for thirty days while they review it. 176 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 2: And normally that's done in order to hide personal information 177 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 2: from the public, personal financial information, things of that nature. 178 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: And there's no reason for this. They were simply describing, 179 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 2: according to Roger, what they knew and what they saw. 180 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: They seems that they desperately want to talk and get 181 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 2: their story out, and the story is intentionally being suppressed 182 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: because now Bass is using attorneys as a weapon. When 183 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 2: it was time to testify in a civil lawsuit about 184 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 2: where two billion dollars homeless money went. As I told you, 185 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: Bass hired fifteen attorneys. Now here, you're going to have 186 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 2: firefighters who must tell the truth. They're under oath, and 187 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: that's just trying to suppress their testimony, not hers in 188 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: this case, but theirs. And this is a narrow investigation 189 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: for these depositions. It happened between January first, the Lockman 190 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 2: fire and January seventh, the Palisades fire. This is the 191 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 2: botched mop up, the botched follow up, and it centers 192 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: in part on January second, when LA firefighters left the 193 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: scene under orders from their battalion commanders. So they say, 194 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 2: this is what's in the text messages that The Times 195 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 2: reported on even though everything was still smoldering and everybody 196 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: could see it. 197 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: And feel it. 198 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,599 Speaker 2: Why did this happen? This is a central component to 199 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: the story. This is part of the big mystery. And 200 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 2: Karen Bass wants to have it publicly covered up. Why 201 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: does she want it covered up? Everything is about cover up. 202 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 2: And I'm telling you I really had it. I've had 203 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 2: it with all the cover ups. And at least the 204 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,599 Speaker 2: All Times is on top of things, and we're on 205 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: top of things. Be nice that the TV stations joined 206 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 2: in with sustained lengthy coverage of this. Every taxpayer here, 207 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: you've realized they wouldn't spend tax money to fund the 208 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: fire department, but they've got the tax money to pay 209 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: attorneys to suppress the depositions by the firefighters. Those firefighters 210 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 2: were pulled off the job, or in a lot of cases, 211 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: weren't sent on the job because there wasn't money. 212 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: Now there's money. 213 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: There's money for the attorneys to tell the judge, Hey, 214 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 2: we want these depositions sealed off at least for thirty days. 215 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: How can that be? 216 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 2: How can my tax money go to pay attorneys to 217 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,719 Speaker 2: suppress the truth. And there's no tax money available to 218 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 2: suppress the fire. 219 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: How can that be? Well, that's the reality we're in, 220 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: and nobody, nobody ever, nobody ever responds. 221 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: Right, Gavin Newsom loses twenty four billion dollars, there's no 222 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: investigation and comment on that. See, if we didn't have 223 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: an attorney general who lived inside Gavin Newsom's pants, we'd 224 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 2: have investigations into twenty four billion dollars. We'd find out 225 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: about how thirty fifty billion dollars went out the window 226 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: to fraudsters with the unemployment money. We would find out 227 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: where the eighteen billion dollars weren't went for high speed 228 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 2: rail that doesn't exist. But looks like Bonta and Newsom 229 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: have this special relationship where BoNT has agreed not to 230 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 2: investigate anybody, and that protection works to extends to Karen 231 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: Bass and the city council, so she can blow two 232 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 2: billion dollars and hire attorneys to suppress her own testimony 233 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 2: she never actually gave any and then she could spend 234 00:13:53,760 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: more money to suppress the firefighters testimony. So this is 235 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 2: the this is what we're all complicit with because we 236 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 2: let this happen. And what else is there? What else 237 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 2: is there? What else is going on, and they got 238 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 2: plenty of money for you know, the illegal aliens. Now 239 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 2: Trump's doing something really good. He announced today that centuary 240 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: cities and states will lose federal funding on February first, 241 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 2: billions of dollars in revenue if they keep any laws 242 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 2: that block cooperation with ICE agents. He's had enough too. Sorry, 243 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: federal government rules you disagree with. It makes you pissed off, angry. Hey, 244 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: go ahead, you can go vote and vote for somebody else. 245 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: But right now he's in charge. That's the law. He's 246 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: got the authority. And if California doesn't want to play ball, good, 247 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: pull the money. Pull the money from all the same 248 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 2: Gary cities and all the sanctuary states who don't cooperate 249 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 2: with ICE and immigration law. Pull billions of dollars. I 250 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: don't care who it's for. It's time to play the 251 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: hardest of hardball. Enough is enough, Stop putting up with 252 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: this crap. We have an unfunded fire department, unfunded police department, 253 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: we have I guess unfunded sanitation department. They don't pick 254 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: up the garbage anymore. But all the money in the 255 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 2: world for illegal aliens and almost people and criminals, I 256 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 2: will every day I wake up and I'm amazed what 257 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: the public puts up with, only because most of my 258 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: life until recent years, nobody would put up with this. 259 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: Nobody would of any age, any party, any generation, any 260 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 2: city you lived in, any state I ever lived in, 261 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 2: nobody would put up. 262 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: With this stuff. And it's got a end. 263 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: Notugh, is enough, She's I'm paying for an attorney, so 264 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 2: I can't find out the truth about what the firefighters 265 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 2: saw and did on January second at the hot spot 266 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: that Karen Bass and Kristin Crowley never said to fire 267 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 2: crew too, and then the Palisades is gone. Really, I'm 268 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 2: paying tax money to an attorney, so I can't learn 269 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: what happened that day. 270 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: No, no, everybody should be saying that. No, absolutely not. 271 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: That's it, end of the line. Enough with this. 272 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: Everybody out, everybody gone, big, clean out, and the media 273 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: should wake up. Times has woken up every television station 274 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: and every other publication. Really, you can go after Mayor Bass. 275 00:16:55,240 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 2: It's okay, I give you special dispensation. Get off your 276 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: woke drugs and start looking at the reality. 277 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: Here. 278 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 279 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 4: six forty. 280 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: We're out every day one until four o'clock.

Now he's 285 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 2: an investor. He's worth a billion dollars and his name 286 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: is long and difficult, but I'm going to give it 287 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 2: a try.

He's trash, 289 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: that's right. 290 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: He's talking about Gavin Newsom. He has his own podcast. 291 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 2: He's very outspoken against Newsom and the way California is going. 292 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 2: Into the sore post frequently online. I believe he toyed 293 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: with the idea of running for governor himself in the 294 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: last cycle. Well, he's posted some fascinating stuff. You ever 295 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: hear of Pro Publica. Pro Publica is a private investigative 296 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 2: journalism organization and they have gone through IRS data. Now 297 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: listen to this. This may stagger you. This is the 298 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 2: central cancer in California government. Here they found out there's 299 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: two hundred and thirteen thousand nonprofits in the state of 300 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 2: California tax exempt two hundred thirteen thousand nonprofits also known 301 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 2: as NGOs non government organizations. These organizations get tremendous amounts 302 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: of tax money. These nonprofits service the fake homeless industry, 303 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: the illegal alien industry, for example, and two hundred and 304 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 2: thirty they'll give the whole poverty industry two hundred and 305 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 2: thirteen thousand. Do you know how much money these take 306 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: in in California? Five hundred and ninety three billion dollars, 307 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 2: big chunk of that its tax money five hundred ninety 308 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 2: three billion dollars and the rest private donations, far more 309 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: than any other state dwarfs New York, Minnesota, New Jersey, Washington, 310 00:19:52,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: and uh, it looks like the IRS has figured out 311 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: that about twenty percent of these nonprofits have audit issues, 312 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: compliance issues. 313 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: And I don't know specifically what that means, but. 314 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 2: Chamouth Polyhpedia we're on social media yesterday and went through 315 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 2: some of these numbers. If you have two hundred and thursday, 316 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 2: two hundred and thirteen thousand nonprofits and they're getting almost 317 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: six hundred billion dollars annually, twenty percent plagued by compliance issues. 318 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 2: He goes that means, he writes, this would mean up 319 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 2: to one hundred and twenty billion dollars of spending in 320 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 2: California could be subject to waste, fraud, and abuse. It 321 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 2: equates to one quarter of the California budget. 322 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: And this is every year. 323 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 2: He wrote that if per the IRS sampling, twenty percent 324 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 2: of these NGOs have compliance also known as audit issues, 325 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 2: this means up to one hundred and twenty billion dollars 326 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 2: of spending in California could be subject to waste, fraud, 327 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: and abuse. The Republican Congressman Kevin Kylie has called California. 328 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: He's from California the fraud capital of the world. All 329 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 2: this is detailed in California Globe dot Com. You should 330 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 2: go read it. This is the problem here. They the 331 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 2: Legislature Assembly, State Senate Gavin Newsom, and Gavin Newsom fuddled 332 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 2: money to his own wife. She gets millions of dollars 333 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 2: with her fake nonprofit. 334 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: Karen Bass. 335 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 2: La County, LA City Council, LA County Supervisors. They direct 336 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 2: all this tax money to these nonprofits. People who run 337 00:21:55,480 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: nonprofits make six figures and more, hire friends and relatives. 338 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 2: It's do nothing jobs. There is no metric as they say, 339 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 2: to determine whether they're successful or not. Obviously, the homeless 340 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: nonprofits are massive failures. Some of the illegal alien nonprofits 341 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: are used to start the riots. And I suspect that 342 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 2: a lot of politicians on the back end are getting 343 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: kickbacks and that's why they that's why they send the 344 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: money down the conveyor belt. So it spreads around everybody 345 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 2: who's got executive positions in the nonprofits, the boards on 346 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: these nonprofits, and then the money continues down the conveyor belt, 347 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 2: and then the politicians grab what's left. That's the payoff. 348 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 2: A lot of it's your tax money, and a lot 349 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: of its donations from the SAPs among us who believe 350 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 2: in these causes. It was like Black Lives Matter. That 351 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 2: was classic, right, Oh, I'm gonna be socially conscious and 352 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: I'm going to be donating to Black Lives Matter. They 353 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 2: ran off with ninety million dollars of people's money. That 354 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 2: wasn't even tax money. That was just idiots. They were 355 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: laughing their asses off over at BLM, and they ran 356 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 2: off and they bought They bought a number of mansions 357 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 2: with the ninety million. All right, that's what you want 358 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 2: to do with your money, private donation, sure, but a 359 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: lot of this is public money. And then here's another one. 360 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: And I know about this organization, and this is a 361 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: wonderful organization, and they have been victimized by a criminal within. 362 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: Do you ever hear the Painted Turtle? Paul Newman started 363 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 2: the Painted Turtle and our school. It's a year round 364 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: camp for children who have medical issues. And they were 365 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 2: like donations from individuals, corporations and foundations and our school. 366 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 2: Every year kids and parents would go and visit the 367 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: camp one of those field trips and see the kids 368 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 2: and see how the camp worked for those children who 369 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 2: were sick. Well, there's a chief executive named Christopher Butler. 370 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 2: He's now facing fifteen felon accounts including grand theft and fraud. 371 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 2: He embezzled five million dollars from the Painted Turtle. These 372 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 2: are sick children. Took five million dollars. He would take 373 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 2: several hundred thousand dollars a year, every year. One year 374 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, he took nearly a million dollars. 375 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: He stole. 376 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 2: He wrote thousands of fraudulent checks in addition to stealing 377 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 2: the money directly. He then changed data on company computers 378 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 2: to access the money and destroy the evidence. A new 379 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: controller discovered the irregularities dating all the way back to 380 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 2: twenty eighteen, and he also stole or damaged fifty thousand 381 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 2: dollars worth of property. He's being held on eight hundred 382 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: thousand dollars bail. His arraignment is Thursday, facing up to 383 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 2: eighteen years. I meant that, I there's so many criminal people, 384 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: and if they're not ripping off the taxpayers. In this case, 385 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: you have a guy running the organization, ripping off the 386 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 2: organization itself, taking money away from six children. And this 387 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 2: was again was originally started by Paul Newman. I mean, 388 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: you know, something's got to give here, something's got to change. 389 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 2: It's like when they were handing out the unemployment money, 390 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: you had fraudsters from all over the world start signing 391 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 2: up online, filling out forms, never vetted, never checked, investigated, 392 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 2: never got a phone call. They just started getting checks 393 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: and billions of dollars disappeared all over the world, everywhere, 394 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 2: every continent, every country, Europe, Russia, Nigeria. 395 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: You need got more coming up. 396 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 397 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 4: six forty. 398 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: Follow us on social media. 399 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 2: John Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio or subscribe on 400 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 2: YouTube YouTube dot com at John Cobelt's show.

You have unions in this state, the Service 403 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 2: Employee International Union along with the United Healthcare Workers West. 404 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 2: These unions are going to get on the ballot a 405 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 2: referendum to create a five percent tax on everything a 406 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 2: billionaire owns. We have two hundred and twenty billionaires in 407 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: this state. This five percent tax would cover everything they own, 408 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: their income, their stock purchases, their investments, their homes, the 409 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 2: furniture and the artwork in their homes, their cars, everything, 410 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 2: because that's what the union people want their money. And 411 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: now some billionaires are moving out of California. Progressives that 412 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 2: I'm saying, well they won't move, well they are. 413 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: In fact, they. 414 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 2: Started cutting their ties with California last year before New 415 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: Year's Day, because if this referendum passes and kicks in, 416 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: it would be retroactive to January first of this year. 417 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 2: So they're getting out and they're not going to pay 418 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 2: any more tax. And two of the first ones that 419 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 2: we know of that are getting out are Sergey Brinn 420 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 2: and Larry Page, the co founders of Google. 421 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: Now. 422 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 2: Page at Brinn graduated from Stanford University and they founded 423 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 2: Google in nineteen ninety eight. That's where they invented the 424 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 2: search engine out of a friend's garage and did collickt 425 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 2: Now the company is worth four trillion dollars and employs 426 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 2: one hundred and eighty seven thousand people. And here come 427 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 2: the parasites. The parasites. These two unions want to take 428 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: five percent of Sergey Brins and Larry Page as well. 429 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 2: Newsom is against this because these two are worth over 430 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 2: half a trillion dollars five hundred and eighteen billion dollars 431 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: between the two of them. So you're gonna get zero 432 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 2: tax money when that tax money disappears from these billionaires. 433 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: How are they going to make up the shortfall? Well, 434 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: the billionaires may be gone. Maybe it's going to be you, 435 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 2: all of us. Who else is going to fund all 436 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: the criminal nonprofits? They're net worth is almost the same 437 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: amount as the nonprofits took in last year. 438 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I know. 439 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: One of these. Yeah, that's right, it's almost the same number. 440 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: I mean, this is crazy. 441 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: Even Newsom, who's friends with these guys, those two guys 442 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 2: were in his wedding and he knows they're really going 443 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: to move, and then he knows that millions and millions 444 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 2: of dollars are going to be lost. It's the stupidest 445 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: thing imaginable, and not to mention so vindictive. 446 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: They're so over These people. 447 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 2: Are losers, these union leaders. What did they build? Brennan 448 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,720 Speaker 2: Page built Google? What do these people do? 449 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: Get stoned on the weekends. I'm so sick of this. 450 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 2: They want to steal five percent of all the stock 451 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 2: they own, even though the stock wealth is only on paper, 452 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 2: it's not been cashed in. It could disappear on its own, 453 00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: depending what happens in the world. I'm so sick of 454 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 2: the losers biting at the ankles of the people who 455 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 2: accomplish things. 456 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: Sorry, they're smarter than you are.
