We are here one to 6 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 2: four o'clock every day. After four o'clock, it's the podcast 7 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,280 Speaker 2: version John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. 8 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 2: We are now going to talk about well, we're gonna 9 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 2: talk with Susan Shelling, Southern California newsgroup writer, columnist, and 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 2: Susan is going to explain Center Peal seventy nine if 11 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 2: Gavin knew some signs. As I was explaining in the 12 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 2: last segment, you're going to see apartment complexes being built 13 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: in your single family residential neighborhood. Depending on where your 14 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 2: neighborhood is located. You have no say in this no vote. 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: They could be a varying heights depending on the details 16 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: of your location. We'll explain some of that, but it 17 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 2: is against the will of most single family owners. I 18 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: think it goes without saying that if you spend your 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: whole life saving and paying off a mortgage and a 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: single family neighborhood where you raise your family, this is 21 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: what you chose, and to have it arbitrarily taken away 22 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 2: by Gavin Newsom, and that that that parasite Scott Wiener, 23 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: the state senator in San Francisco, is just wrong and 24 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 2: it's it's abusive, but it may happen. We'll talk with 25 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 2: Susan Shelley now from the Southern California News Group. Susan, 26 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: how are you? 27 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 4: I'm great, John, thanks for having me. 28 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 2: All right, tell give us some of the general criteria. 29 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: I know, I know it can and can. There could 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: be a lot of details, but generally these are neighborhoods 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: within a half mile of a train stop or a 32 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 2: bus stop. That yes, uh? And and how how tall 33 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: can these can these complexes be? How many apartments or 34 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 2: condos can be located in them? 35 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 4: Well, they can be seven stories to nine stories. I 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 4: think it is if it's half If you are living 37 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 4: within half a mile of a transit stop as defined, 38 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 4: and that as the crow flies not going zigzagging on 39 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 4: the streets half a mile radius around a transit stop, 40 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 4: your single family lot will be automatically, by right rezoned 41 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,519 Speaker 4: to be a seven to nine story apartment building. One 42 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 4: single family house could turn into a seven story apartment building. 43 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 4: And what about the people next door to it. They're 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 4: going to be living in the construction site, and then 45 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 4: the next house, and the next house in the next 46 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: house can be sold, extending the construction site, and all 47 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: of a sudden, your single family house is surrounded by 48 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 4: seven to nine story apartment buildings. And here's the best part. 49 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 4: They don't have to have any parking spaces. So you 50 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 4: put one of these up on a single family lot, 51 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: and all of a sudden, all the people who live 52 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 4: in there are supposedly going to walk half a mile 53 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 4: to the transit stop, which will of course take them 54 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 4: where they need to go in their whole life, and 55 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 4: so no one will have a car and there won't 56 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 4: be any problems. Really, well, what's going to happen is 57 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 4: you're pretty soon going to have permit parking tow trucks. 58 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 4: It's going to be just a nightmare for everybody who 59 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 4: lives there, and your city can do nothing to stop 60 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 4: this from happening, even if your city council opposes it. 61 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 4: This is by right by state law that a developer 62 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 4: can buy a single family home and turnity to an 63 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: apartment building if it's within half a mile of a 64 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 4: transit stop as they define it, and they define it 65 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: all the way down to a bus stop. If it's 66 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 4: a dedicated bus lane like a bus rapid transit lane, 67 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 4: so pretty much a bucket of paint and a dedicated 68 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: bus lane and a penciled in transit stop where they're 69 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 4: going to put the bus stops, and half a mile 70 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 4: around that is rezoned for apartment buildings. Nobody can stop 71 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: it if. 72 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: People people don't know this is coming, because everybody's going 73 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: to be against this. This is really abusive and wrong. 74 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 2: I can't believe they have the guts to do this. 75 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 4: It's horrible. It's horrible, and it's taking away, as you 76 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 4: indicate it, it's taking away the peaceful enjoyment of property 77 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 4: that people spent their whole life savings and their whole 78 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: life's earnings to own. It is just taking it away 79 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 4: because developers want to build apartment buildings near transit, and 80 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 4: Scott Weener believes that people should be forced to use transit. 81 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 4: That's the theory behind having no parking spaces, is that 82 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: we need more passengers because the transit systems are underwater financially. 83 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 4: It's just totalitarian. 84 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 2: It is. It is, and I've been talking about this 85 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,119 Speaker 2: guy for a long time. How much. He hates suburban living, 86 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: absolutely despises it. Despises your single family home, your lawn, 87 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: your swimming pool, your commute in a car. He hates 88 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 2: it all. And this is about destroying single family neighborhoods. 89 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: And this is about God, he knows how much money 90 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 2: that Newsome and Wiener and the rest of them are 91 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: getting from developers. 92 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 4: Well, it's horrible. But if the governor were to sign it, 93 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,279 Speaker 4: and I hope he doesn't, I hope he vetoes it. 94 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 4: But if he were to sign it, there will be 95 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: a backlash like we haven't seen in California history. The 96 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 4: first thing that's going to happen is every time somebody 97 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 4: proposes transit, people are going to be in the streets 98 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: protesting it like it's the Vietnam War. They're going to 99 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 4: be so upset. They don't want to butt stop, they 100 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 4: don't want to train stop. They're not going to want 101 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 4: a subway, They're not going to want anything. The next 102 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: thing you're going to see is people will find out 103 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: how easy it is to repeal a local tax increase 104 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 4: for transit, because under nineteen ninety six is Prop two eighteen, 105 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,479 Speaker 4: you only need five percent of the number of people 106 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 4: who cast a vote for governor in that jurisdiction, that's 107 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 4: your signature threshold. So in an area where there were 108 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 4: let's say La County had three million votes in the 109 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 4: governor's race, it's like one hundred and fifty thousand signatures. 110 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 4: That's not much for La County. And that's all it 111 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 4: takes to put a repeal of attacks on the about 112 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 4: people don't know that they're about to find out. 113 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 2: This seems like political suicide. How is he running for 114 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: president when he's going to be destroying middle class, single 115 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 2: family neighborhoods is How is that an issue that's going 116 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: to take America by storm? On top of a few 117 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 2: minutes ago we just talked about how he vetoed all 118 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: the raises for the cal state firefighters. 119 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 4: Well, imagine that he's running in the primaries and there 120 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 4: are pictures out of all of the whole state of California, 121 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 4: especially in Los Angeles where it's already dense. Imagine those 122 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 4: pictures of single family homes being surrounded by construction of 123 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 4: apartment buildings. And he's campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire 124 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 4: and South Carolina and people are saying, you're destroying suburban living. 125 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 4: You're coming after our neighborhoods and our communities and our families, 126 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 4: and he's going to run for president against those pictures. 127 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 4: That's not going to go very well. 128 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 3: Why is he doing this, Well. 129 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 4: Maybe he's not. Maybe he'll detail it. Why the legislature 130 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 4: passed it, I don't know. It got through by one 131 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 4: vote in the state Senate and by one vote in 132 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 4: the Assembly, and everybody who could duck the vote ducked 133 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 4: the vote. And this is highly controversial, absolutely crazy. It's 134 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 4: one of the most extreme things that's ever been done 135 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: in California. And that's saying something. But to create this 136 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 4: by right, which is even too much for the La 137 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 4: City Council and the mayor. They opposed it. The city 138 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: attorney wrote a memo saying that this would cost one 139 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 4: point six billion dollars for infrastructure and first responders just 140 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 4: to meet the density needs of doing this is crazy. 141 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 2: Oh, they'll never hire any new cops or new firefighters. 142 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 2: They're busy defunding the fire and the police here in 143 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: Los Angeles this and most people don't know about it. 144 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: I bring this up to some people I know, and 145 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: every one of them just stares at me. It's like, 146 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: what are you talking about? And I said, well, it's 147 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: you know, you can get a seven story apartment building 148 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: next door to you, and they go no, I go really, 149 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: you know it's sitting on the governor's desk. This has 150 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: gotten very little publicity, very little coverage. 151 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 4: Well, that is shocking because this is catastrophic. It's by right, 152 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 4: so there's no city process that can stop it or 153 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: slow it. They couldn't do this to you. If you 154 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 4: were a spotted owl or a delta smelt, they would 155 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 4: have to have more respect for your habitat than this 156 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 4: bill provides for suburbanites. It's just terrible. 157 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 3: So there's no way to stop this in court. 158 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 4: Well, I suppose you could challenge it in court, but 159 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 4: what the laws is is that the city council can't 160 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 4: put in place any kind of an approval process to 161 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 4: look at the impact of these projects. They just have 162 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 4: to approve it ministerially. But certainly there would be I 163 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 4: would have mentioned there would be mitigation, well for all 164 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: of it. 165 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 2: Oh well, and this requires massive resistance. I mean, this 166 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: requires like individual city councils to say no, we're simply 167 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 2: not doing it. You can roll in the National Guard 168 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 2: we're not going to allow this. 169 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: Right now, people can go to the governor's website and 170 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: put a message in the contact form that they are 171 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 4: opposed to this, asking him to veto it, and that's it. 172 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 4: Gov dot c A, dot gov, Governor dot California, dot gov, 173 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 4: gov dot ca a dot gov, slash contact and you 174 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 4: can put a message into that system asking the governor 175 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 4: to veto SB seventy nine. It's the worst legislation ever. 176 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 2: It's been sitting on his desk for a little bit. 177 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: Is he nervous about pulling the trigger here? 178 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 4: It certainly could be. He should be nervous. This is crazy, 179 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 4: and given that he wants to run for president, the 180 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 4: pictures of what's happening to suburban streets are going to 181 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 4: be just horrible. And this is in all kinds of areas. 182 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 4: And what's worse is it's anything that's planned as well 183 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 4: as anything that exists. So there could be plans for 184 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 4: a bus lane that doesn't exist yet, and within wherever 185 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 4: they put those pencil marks for where the stations are 186 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 4: going to be, draw a circle half mile radius, and 187 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: all of that is instantly rezoned for seven story apartment buildings. 188 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 4: If you're within a quarter of a mile. Then if 189 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 4: I think nine stories, it's it's just nine stories next 190 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 4: to a single family home. 191 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 3: Instantly destroying the value of your property. 192 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 4: Or instantly causing all single family homes to go up 193 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 4: in price because they could potentially be a seventh story 194 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 4: apartment building. And then what happens to affordability when individual 195 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 4: families want to buy a home and they're competing with 196 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 4: developers with Wall Street cash, who can put up a 197 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 4: seven story building. 198 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 3: Oh, this is evil, It's horrible, this is evil. 199 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: I've never seen local zoning laws completely destroyed like this 200 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 2: in my life. 201 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 3: I didn't think that was legal. I didn't think it 202 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: was possible. 203 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: No good reason. What they've done in California is they've 204 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 4: created an artificial boundary called the urban boundary, where they 205 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 4: won't allow suburban development beyond that because they think it's 206 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 4: bad for the climate, which is crazy. It's crazy to 207 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 4: say that building suburbs in California effects for climates. Crazy, 208 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 4: But that's what they've. 209 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: Done, all right, Susan Shelley, I think this is going 210 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: to be a huge issue if he signs this thing, 211 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 2: So we'll keep talking. 212 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 3: Thank you for coming on, Thanks so much, John. 213 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: All right, Susan Shelley with the Southern California News Group 214 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: that is Orange County Register, LA Daily News, and many 215 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: many other suburban papers here, and she's also with the 216 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 2: Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. We will follow up on this. 217 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 2: This is one of the most important things. There's a 218 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 2: lot going on, but this one is at the top 219 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 2: of the list. If you live in a single family home, 220 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 2: and I know that a huge percentage of our listening 221 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 2: audience does live that way, will continue so you really 222 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 2: understand how bad this is going to be. 223 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 5: You're listening to co Belt on demand from KFI AM 224 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 5: six forty. 225 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 2: Well, you know it's hard to constantly hype that this 226 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: is important, and that's important, and this is a big deal, 227 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: and that's a big deal. But the truth is, we 228 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 2: have such a destructive government on the city, county, and 229 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: state level in the Los Angeles area that it can 230 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: leave your head spinning and it's hard to keep track 231 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 2: of all the terrible things that are being shoved at us. 232 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 2: But I tell you right now, this is most terrible. 233 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: A lot of stuff goes on and it doesn't really 234 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: affect your life. This one will. If you live in 235 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 2: a single family residence in California, because your neighborhood's going 236 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 2: to be destroyed. Scott Wiener is a communist out of 237 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: San Francisco state senator and he produces a lot of 238 00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 2: destructive legislation. He's a fine, a hateful fanatic, and he 239 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 2: hates suburban people. If you're a suburban man, a suburban 240 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 2: woman with a suburban family, he hates you. And I 241 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: mean really, I don't use that word lightly. He really 242 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: despises you. And as I said to Susan Shelley, he 243 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: hates your single family house. He hates your car and 244 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: your commute. He hates your lawn, he hates your swimming pool. 245 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 2: You have no right to be taking up that much 246 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 2: land with a single family home and using that water 247 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 2: on your lawn or to fill your pool, and then 248 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 2: driving your car and producing greenhouse gases. And he wants 249 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: you stopped. And what the communist plan is is to 250 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: shove us all on buses. It really is. So he 251 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 2: devised a bill where within a half mile of a 252 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 2: bus stop or a train station air mile, if you 253 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 2: have a home, it can be replaced by a seven 254 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 2: to nine story apartment building. Your neighbor sells out boom 255 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 2: seven story apartment building. Your other neighbor sells out boom 256 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: nine story apartment building. Pretty soon the whole neighborhood gets transformed. 257 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: Now there's no parking required because Scott Wiener's idea is 258 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: you'll all march in unison to the train station or 259 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: the bus stop and get out of the metal tube 260 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: and you'll all go together at the same time, because 261 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: that's the way he wants the world to run. It's 262 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 2: very communist, and you have many Democrats in the legislature 263 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 2: who hate this idea, knows it's going to cause horrible trouble, 264 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: but they're cowards, incredible cowards, although if goods, share of 265 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: them are communists too. Communism is about go to the 266 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: root word communal. You have a communal train, a communal bus, 267 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 2: a communal building that you all live in. No individual wife, 268 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: no backyard, no barbecue. Barbecuing is bad too. It's an 269 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 2: imposition of a totalitarian religion. And I'm sure most people 270 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: aren't aware of this, and I'm certainly sure that most 271 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: people in these single family neighborhoods don't want it. 272 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 3: But you have. 273 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: You have a real bill sitting on Newsom's desk. God 274 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: help him if he signs this thing, and there should 275 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: be a backlash. This should be a backlash like nobody's 276 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 2: ever seen before. Shelley Susan Shelley said, there's gonna be 277 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: a lot of opposition against any transit construction. You don't 278 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: want any more trains or buses designated. And then we 279 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 2: got to start repealing the transit taxes because right now 280 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: the trains are just taking illegal aliens, criminals, and homeless 281 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 2: people back and forth all day. Those trains were never 282 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 2: for most normal people anyway. And he's going to run 283 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: on this and I have that to point out. I'll 284 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: keep repeating it. He vetoed a raise for Cow fire firefighters. 285 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 2: They only make fifty four thousand. He vetoed their rays. 286 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 2: Just in the last hour, news has come along about 287 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: two of the most despicable things he's ever done. Denial 288 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: raised Cow fire firefighters. And now this bill is on 289 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: his desk and everybody's waiting for him to sign it, 290 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: and then your neighborhood's in turmoil because somebody will sell 291 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: out right away. And there you go, there's a seven 292 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: story building and god knows the amount of bribery that 293 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: these democratic legislatures legislators have accepted probably a tremendous amount 294 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 2: of bribery that no one will ever be able to track, 295 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: because you have voted for a collection of the most disgusting, immoral, 296 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: vile legislators that any state or country has ever seen. 297 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 3: It's just terrible. And now they've got your Taxing you 298 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: to death isn't enough. They want to destroy your life. 299 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: You can't enjoy your single family neighborhood anymore because they 300 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: say so, and you can't get away from them. 301 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 3: We come back. 302 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: Daniel guss On the idiot deputy mayor of Karen Bass 303 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 2: who called in a bomb threat and he's not going 304 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 2: to jail. 305 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 306 00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 5: six forty. 307 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 2: Belt Show Live every day one to four and then 308 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 2: the podcast, which is the radio show after four o'clock. 309 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: It's posted on the iHeart app. This is crazy. Brian 310 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 2: kay Williams was a deputy mayor for Karen Bass in 311 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: charge of public safety would you believe admit the Police 312 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 2: and Fire Department and last October he called in a 313 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: bomb threat against La City Hall and it was traced 314 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: to Brian K Williams and he was put on an administrative 315 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 2: leave and eventually fired.

Why I didn't start to believe? 336 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: Well, John, you know that I write with kind of 337 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: a salty style. That's just the nature of this crap is. 338 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: You got to deal with adversity with a really twisted 339 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: perspective of how this goes on. And I'm at a loss, 340 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: and I'll be honest with you, I think there's a 341 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: lot more to this than meets the eye. I don't 342 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 1: know when, I don't know how, I don't even know if. 343 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: But there's no way you can commit a federal felony 344 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: and virtually get less of a penalty in the criminal 345 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: justice system than shoplifting at best Buy or Target. That 346 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: doesn't work in federal court. It might work at the 347 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: local level. But he was struggling with mental illness because 348 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: his mom died, or his cousin died. Everybody's mom dies. 349 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: Something else is going on here, John. 350 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 3: Do you think what do you think going on? 351 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: I think that in the same way. Remember the Remember 352 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: the Varsity Blues admission scandal that took down uh, you know, 353 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: large Massam Genui and all these other people. That scandal 354 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: actually started from a different financial crime that took place 355 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: and was handled in the Boston federal courts, which is 356 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: why when Lorie Lachlan and the others had to enter 357 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: their please she had to fly three thousand miles to 358 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: get there. And so sometimes at the federal level, when 359 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: somebody gets some sort of very bizarre deal, it might 360 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: not necessarily true. It might be because there are other 361 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: deals going on behind the means. And who would know 362 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: more about the Palisades inferno than Brian K. Williams, Who 363 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: would know more about scandals perhaps in the Mark with 364 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: Lee Thomas case of the current price case, or or 365 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: the or or any of these other things going on. 366 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: So I do not have evidence of that, but these 367 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: you know what they say, the math ain't mathin. The 368 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: math ain't mathin on this, at least not for me. 369 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, this was a felony in US District Court, Central District. 370 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 2: This is Bill of Sale's district. 371 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: Mm hm, there doesn't see. 372 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: It doesn't seem to add up that that his office 373 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 2: would let Brian K. Williams go without a day in 374 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 2: jail for calling it a bomb threat that that cleared 375 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 2: out city Hall. 376 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 3: It doesn't add up, right. 377 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: And what else doesn't add up? And a Sale is 378 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: doing no matter what people think about Bill a Sale, 379 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: he's doing precisely what he was appointed to do. So 380 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: how did his office apparently recommend to the judge two 381 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: years of probation. This should be a ten to fifteen 382 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: to twenty year prison sentence regardless of a clean record. 383 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: This doesn't make sense. So Assale's office recommended two years 384 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: of probation for this, and somehow they settled on one. 385 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: He is virtually being non published punished by Yes, he's 386 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: a felon, he'll lose his he'll be dispard from the 387 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 1: state bar of California. But I have worse news for 388 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: the John Cobalt audience. John. He's actually there's a law 389 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: called the Public Employees Pension Reform Act PEPRA p EPR, 390 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: which says that roughly for the past decade or so, 391 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: if you collected a if you have accrued a public pension, 392 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: you will forfeit that public pension from the date of 393 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: your crimes moving forward. And what that means He's not 394 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: only going to continue receiving his pension for the six 395 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: hundred some odd days before his crime, which is all 396 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: of his city pension as far as I can tell, 397 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: Brian K. Williams is also going to keep collecting and 398 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: it's probably collecting now his six years of pension from 399 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: when he worked at the County. So we are going 400 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: to be funding an early retirement for Brian K. Williams. 401 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 4: I don't know. 402 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: I thought working from home was a privilege. He's actually 403 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: going to be able to sit at home in Pasadena 404 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: and collect apparently two pensions from the taxpayers in California. 405 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 2: I hope you're right and that he's given a lot 406 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: of evidence about all the other crimes going on in 407 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: the Bass administration, because on its face, on its face, 408 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 2: this is just this is a fensive. 409 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, this really is awful. 410 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: I love how in the in your story today you 411 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: reprint Karen Bass's press release from February seventh and twenty 412 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: twenty three announcing that Williams was going to be Deputy 413 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: Mayor of Public Safety, and she says in the press release, 414 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 2: my number one job as mayor is to keep Angelino safe. 415 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: The only way to do that is to hold people 416 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 2: who commit crimes accountable. Well, and the guy that she appointed, 417 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: the subject of the press release, commits a terrible felony, 418 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 2: I'll calling it a fake bob threat and gets nothing, 419 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: gets nothing. 420 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: John, What do you think the government would call for 421 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: my sentence if I did something like that or pulled 422 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: a fire alarm in city Hall. What do you think 423 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: John put the underground at the supermax in Colorado? And 424 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 1: he's so he's so connected not only to Bass, but 425 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: to people at the county where he worked for six 426 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: years and he had a law practice. And by the way, 427 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: you know what's fun It'll be deleted the moment that 428 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: I see this. Go to Brian K. Williams LinkedIn page, 429 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: and you'll see all the people that have endorsed him, 430 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: ninety nine of them didn't unindorse him, nineteen of whom 431 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 1: worked for the City of Los Angeles. So everybody now 432 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: can run. Don't worry, everybody. I saved the PDF of it, 433 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: all of the people who have endorsed Federal fell and 434 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: Brian K. Williams and didn't unindorse him on LinkedIn just 435 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: like this is insanity, and nobody is better positioned than 436 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: Brian K. Williams to to flip. I don't know if 437 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: he's splipping. I want to be. 438 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's the only thing that would 439 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,120 Speaker 2: make you say, oh it now, this makes sense. 440 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 3: Otherwise it makes zero sense. 441 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: Right. He may know more. Oh gee, I'm not saying 442 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: this is happening. He may know a lot more about 443 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: the things like it's the curring price case. I don't know, 444 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: I have no proof of it. 445 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 2: But a world of homeless money. The two billion in 446 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 2: homeless money, well, that. 447 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: Sounds like a likely thing, doesn't it. You know? I 448 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: also hear little little rumors about an earlier deal at 449 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 1: the convention Center. Not this recent expansion or renovation thing. 450 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: I've been hearing about other things going on in the 451 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: at the convention Center.
