I had a really 9 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: good week off. I'll talk more about it later, but 10 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: I spent all the time in these beautiful smaller Southeastern 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: cities where that are really well run and really clean, 12 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: with little crime, very little homelessness, and just everything's in 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: order and people are happy. And gas is I saw 14 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: it as low as two dollars and seventy seven sets 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: in all what where was I was in North Carolina, 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and the gas range ranged from 17 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: two seventy five no kidding, that's all I paid for gas. 18 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: In fact, I even sent to Eric and Ray and 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: Deborah a shot of one of the gas pumps. I 20 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: got eleven gallons of gas and it was thirty one dollars. 21 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: So out in the. 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: Rest of America, life is good. And it's normal the 23 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: way you remember it. And then there's California, and the 24 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: big story that broke today is that a federal judge, 25 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: Charles Bryer, he's a district judge, has blocked the Trump 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: administration from using California troops to enforce civilian law. You know, 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: the Marines are still here in Los Angeles. This is 28 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: all left over from June and the Ice riots. And 29 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: they were riots. And Briar had issued an anti Trump 30 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: judgment a while back regarding the National Guard, and the 31 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled him, and so Trump 32 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: still can overrule Newsom when it comes to putting out 33 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: the National Guard. So Newsom also sued over the use 34 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: of the Marines here in Los Angeles. And once again 35 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: Charles Bryer, who's a Clinton appointee. His brother, Stephen Bryer 36 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: was on the Supreme Court appointed by Clinton. So the 37 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: two of these two Briar brothers cause all sorts of 38 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: trouble over the years for common sense. And Charles is 39 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: having his moment in the sun. He didn't make it 40 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: to be a Supreme Court justice, and now he's making 41 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: his name saying no to Trump. And he says, what 42 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: is the threat? What was the threat yesterday or two 43 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: weeks ago. I'm trying to see if there's any limits 44 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: to the use of a federal force. 45 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 2: See. 46 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: Trump wants to use the National Guard in the military 47 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: to stop the crime in the cities. He's threatening to 48 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: do it to New York, He's threatening to do it 49 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: to Chicago. And of course progressive people and their loving 50 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: judges are saying, well, this is just he's trying for 51 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: martial law. He's trying to federalize a police force here. 52 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: And you know what, after spending a week in Charlotte 53 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: and Savannah and Charleston and Sarasota, I am now all 54 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: for martial law, not that they have it here, and 55 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: not that they have I'm all for martial law, and 56 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm all for nationalizing a police force. And when a 57 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: governor or a mayor cannot do the right thing and 58 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: get rid of all the criminals and put the bad 59 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: guys in prison, then yeah, said it in the National Guard. 60 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: I mean, because enough is enough. I see the way 61 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: people live in other cities, like in the Southeast, and 62 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: I get envious. I can't walk around saying wow, this 63 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: is great. I'm thinking, wow, this is great, And I 64 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: got to go back to that, because why why is 65 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: everybody putting up this crap? They don't do it in 66 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: all the other cities. And so that's the thing here. 67 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: If Newsome and Bash will not do their job and 68 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: get rid of the criminals and the rioters and the 69 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: illegal aliens, somebody's got to do it, because we shouldn't. 70 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: Have to live like this. 71 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: Normal people shouldn't be held hostage to progress a garbage 72 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: and nonsense anymore. Like enough is enough. And I actually 73 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: don't care what Trump does anymore. And he'll probably you know, 74 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: get we'll get another hearing at the Appeals Court, Ninth 75 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: Circuit or eventually the Supreme Court. Maybe one of those 76 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: judge panels will find it his favor. And then I 77 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: think you ought to send the National Guard, the Marines 78 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: at a anyway, send him into Chicago. 79 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: See, they had like like. 80 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: Nine people shot to death over the weekend in Chicago, 81 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: fifty four people wounded. Why should the people of Chicago 82 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: have to have to suffer from that because they have 83 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: an idiot progressive mayor who won't have criminals arrested and 84 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: put away. I don't I don't understand the logic of this. 85 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: This this is the people getting shot in the head, 86 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: people getting wounded, people bleeding out in the streets, and 87 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: we got to put up with it. Well, you know, 88 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: on top of that accord of the La Times, I 89 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: don't know how trustworthy it is. 90 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 2: There is a lot of dispute. 91 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: Whether whether there's any federal statute that really covers the 92 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: situation like this. The Times quotes a law professor at 93 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: Ohio Northern University named Dan Maherr and Mara says, well, 94 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: this is an opportunity to get more meeting to us 95 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: that is notoriously vague. It's important to see what the 96 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: president can get away with. Meaning whoever wrote these statutes, 97 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: they're quite imprecise. It's not clear that he can't do it. 98 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: And if he says he can, and Newsom says he 99 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: can't and the language is hazy, well then why. 100 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: Should he be stopped? 101 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: It has to say I would think explicitly you cannot 102 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: do this, And anything that doesn't say explicitly no, well 103 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: that means yes. And there's another quote here along the 104 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: same lines. And you know the side stories that came 105 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: out is back in August. You remember when border patrol 106 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: agents masked in MacArthur Park and that's when Karen Bass 107 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:07,799 Speaker 1: went crazy and it started screaming at Ice agents. Well 108 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: one of a couple of times. Apparently Border Patrol agents 109 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: were going to target the park on Father's Day, and 110 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: on August twelfth, Major General Scott Marshall Sherman testified that 111 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: the agents were going to run through the park on 112 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: Father's Day and then the military overruled the decision. The 113 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: Marines overruled, saying the expected crowds made it too dangerous. 114 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: According to Major General Sherman, it was going to be 115 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: a very large amount of people in the park. I 116 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: could not approve it because of the high risk. This 117 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: is how badly Trump and Tom Homan want to send 118 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: the illegal aliens and Bass and knew some message. You 119 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: imagine if they pulled off a raid on Father's Day 120 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: at MacArthur Park, and they would have done it accept 121 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: his own military commander said, no, that's a little much. 122 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: But Trump has said we're gonna look at New York 123 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: and we're gonna do the same thing in Chicago. Hopefully 124 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: la is watching and he needs to do this. And 125 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: if newsom in Bash don't want the National Guard in 126 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: and they don't want the Marines in, or the army 127 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: or the air Force or whatever else can be sent in. 128 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: Then get the criminals off the streets, get the homeless 129 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: off the streets, and let's end this era. 130 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: Let's end all this nonsense. 131 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: But they want Trump to do this because it makes 132 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: the leaders of the resistance and their ego bloats up 133 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: every time they get to have a challenge and file 134 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: another lawsuit and get cheap headlines. But if he can't 135 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: do it, then who's gonna do it? They won't, So 136 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: why do we have to live like this? If they won't, 137 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: We'll continue talking about this when we come back. All right, 138 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm fired up, I'm ready to go. Already. 139 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 140 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 3: six forty. 141 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: John Coblt's Show back on We're on every day from 142 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: one until four o'clock and then after four o'clock John 143 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: coblt Show. 144 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: On demand on the iHeart app. Here's another thing. 145 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: That got to be today, all right, the things we 146 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: shouldn't have to put up with.

Now get this, 176 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: you know this is what life is like when you 177 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: grow old. Then I'm pulling out the old exit bag. 178 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: For the next two hours, they plucked Q tips and 179 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: chicken bones off the ground with grabber tools. Now, who 180 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: in the neighborhood is throwing their queue tips? And what 181 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: are the kid tips being used for? I have a 182 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: feeling it's something other than ears, but I don't know what. 183 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: Then they pulled paper plates and coffee cups from the bushes, 184 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: soiled napkins, and vape canisters from the gutters. Yeah, these 185 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: are the all the uh, it's all the riff raff people. 186 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: It's all the dirty rift brath people who used the 187 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: city streets as a toy. Wow, exactly who is living 188 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: in this section of Canoga Park. I have never known 189 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: anyone in my life who threw Q tips, chicken bones, 190 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: and vape canisters out on the sidewalk, out on the 191 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: lawn in the park. 192 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 2: In the gutter. 193 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: She scooped up a black slipper from an abandoned shopping cart. 194 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: This is homeless people garbage, that's what this is. Who 195 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: leaves their slippers in shopping carts and they call it 196 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: trashing And the next day they were out there again. 197 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 2: It's called volunteers cleaning communities. 198 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: These are retirees in their sixties and seventies, fanning out 199 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: across in the San Fernando Valley six days a week, 200 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: about two hundred and fifty people there in the East Valley, 201 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: Brentwood Center, Monica. That I don't know, I really, honest 202 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: to God, I don't understand this. I didn't have this 203 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: in my town growing up. The town had a sanitation 204 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: department of the county did and came around and uh, everyone, 205 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: I remember, we all threw our garbage in garbage bags 206 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: and then put the garbage bags in trash cans. They 207 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 1: don't do that in Canoga Park or It's again, it's 208 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: the disgusting straight people. If I was Karen Pass, I'd 209 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: be so embarrassed if I if I woke up in 210 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: the morning, I'm the mayor of a city and I'm 211 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: seeing that we have hundreds of elderly people who have 212 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: to stand out in the hot sun and pick up 213 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: Q tips and chicken bones. I'd be I'd be mortified. 214 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: But she's not capable of shame because she's she's another 215 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: narcissistic psychopath. 216 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: Here's the. 217 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: It says here more than a decade ago, go a 218 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: city hall ten years ago. This is another Garcetti phenomenon, 219 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 1: because I noticed while Garcetti that disgusting jackass when he 220 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: was running things. They had a city hall report about 221 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: the state of litter and illegal dumping. Some neighborhoods, according 222 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,359 Speaker 1: to the report, were in a constant state of uncleanliness, 223 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: and the report blamed the city for failing to enforce 224 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: anti dumping laws and businesses and residents for. 225 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 2: Throwing out the garbage into the streets. 226 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: Again, what do the city workers do in that department 227 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: that's supposed to enforce the anti dumping laws? 228 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: What do they do all day? Do they drink? 229 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 1: Are they shooting up? Do they go to motels and 230 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: bed down prostitutes? How do they spend their days? And 231 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: they write Litter is often as much a part of 232 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: the landscape as LA's palm trees and mini malls. Straight 233 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: plastic bags hang off trees, Twisted pieces of clothing are 234 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 1: in the roadways, trash bins overflow. That's foul and disgusting. 235 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: That's third world. 236 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: Karen Bass is encouraging residents to beautify the streets for 237 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty eight Olympics. No, you should, that's your job. 238 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 2: She is such a loser. She's a lazy loser. 239 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: She tells, she tells what the elderly to go out 240 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: and clean everything up and touch all the diseased filth. 241 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: In fact, Matt Bass even even joined Jill Mother even 242 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: joined her at a cleanup event in Sherman Oaks earlier 243 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: this year. You know, Joe Mother, here's an enabler. She 244 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: should have punched at Karen Bass in the nose, say 245 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: what do you mean you're gonna help me clean up? 246 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 2: Where's the where's the uh? 247 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: Where's the sanitation department? In their hazmat suits? Well you 248 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: what are you come in here with your fake smile 249 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: and the TV cameras and the photographers to show off 250 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: how you're joining the community cleanup brigade. 251 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: Phony, She's such a phony. 252 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: They found they go up into the mountains, they found 253 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: abandoned motorcycles, washing machines. They stand on the one eighteen 254 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: picking up litter. We have elderly people in Los Angeles 255 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: standing along the one eighteen to pick up garbage because 256 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: Karen Bass doesn't have the city workers do it. 257 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: Young men getting paid a lot of money. I'm sure union. 258 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: Protected nice benefits, and they don't go outside of the 259 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: hot sun and pick up the litter on the freeways. 260 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: They had their grandparents come out and do it. The 261 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: people driving by think they're criminals sentenced to community service. 262 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: One said, what did you do? Did you get a dui? 263 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: Drivers honk it approval and locals cheer on the members. 264 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: Why are they doing that? You should be driving to 265 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,880 Speaker 1: the city hall, to Karen Vass's office and. 266 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: Storming in there. Is everybody crazy. 267 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 1: They have found a box that contains human ashes, They 268 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: have found a gun, They have found dead dogs. No 269 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: city workers are around to clean up the dead dogs either. 270 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: Is anybody embarrassed by this? Anybody anybody angry about this? 271 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: Or is this what we have to do now to 272 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 1: clean up for the twenty twenty eight Olympics. Karen Bass 273 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: already marched out in the to the one eighteen. 274 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: Good court. All right, we've got more coming up. 275 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 276 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 3: six forty. 277 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: Oh Moist lines back this week. 278 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: I forgot eight seven seven Moist staighty six eight seven 279 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: seven Moist eighty six, or use the iHeart well or 280 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio out. That's right, 281 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm gone for a week. I'm just completely out of rhythm. 282 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell I'm doing here. After 283 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: two o'clock, Royal Oaks is coming on the ABC News 284 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: Legal Analyst to talk about that judge ruling the use 285 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: of federal troops in Los Angeles is against the law illegal. 286 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: We talked about that earlier in the show, and we 287 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: are going to get Royal Oakes's view of it. Obviously, 288 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 1: it's going to go to the Appeals Court and probably 289 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: eventually to the Supreme Court, because we already went. We 290 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 1: played this game with the judge Charles Bryer before when 291 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: he tried to say that Newsom is the final authority 292 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 1: over the use of the National Guard, not the president. 293 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: To me, it was always just look at the phrase 294 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: national guard. I would think that means the National Guard 295 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: is under control of the president ultimately. 296 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 2: But what do. I know. 297 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: I'm not a district judge or an appeals court judge. 298 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: Just try to use logic and common sense. Now, the 299 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: root causes so much of the chaos in the city 300 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles and in other cities is we have 301 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: lots and lots of mental patients on the streets and 302 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: there is zero desire on the part of the government 303 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: to put them away. And there's a reason for that, 304 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: and it all goes back to the progressive religion. You 305 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 1: have to understand the tenets of the progressive religion. You're 306 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: not going to get it explained in most media because 307 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 1: most of the people in the major media outlets are 308 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: members of the church. And so you know, I mean, 309 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: I'm sure many people listening maybe you you have strong 310 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: religious beliefs, you were raised a certain way, and you 311 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 1: wouldn't go out publicly and denounce your religion, the belief system, 312 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: the tenets of it. Right, of course not, and you 313 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: might be angry with people who do, especially if they 314 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: were people within your church. So there's just it's human nature. 315 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: Members of the church are not going to denounce the church. 316 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 1: So you're not going to get much media coverage saying that, hey, 317 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: this is wrong that we have mental patients running around 318 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: because in their belief system, mental patients and criminals as 319 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: well as illegal aliens and homeless people, they're all oppressed 320 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: members of society. That's the holy trinity I've told you about. 321 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Just to extend this religious metaphor, the holy trinity for 322 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: progressives is illegal aliens, homeless people, and criminals, and a 323 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,919 Speaker 1: subset of criminals and homeless people are mental patients. It's 324 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: a big percentage of both categories. So since these people 325 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: are part of the holy Trinity, you can't do anything 326 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: to them that would take away their freedom, take away 327 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,359 Speaker 1: their choice of what to do with their days and 328 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: their lives. So this leads to chaos. This leads to 329 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: many areas of the city being uninhabitable, many cities uninhabitable. 330 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 2: Now. Every once in a while, the. 331 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: Narcissistic psychopath Gavin Newsom goes public with some kind of 332 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: fake announcement that he's finally figured out how to change 333 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: things to make things better, and Marissa Kendall at cal 334 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: Matters wrote a story today on Newsom stepping up to 335 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: the lectern back in March three years ago. In twenty 336 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: twenty two, had proposed a new solution to one of 337 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 1: the state's most difficult problems, how to help thousands of 338 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: Californians sleeping on the streets while suffering from severe mental illness. 339 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: And everything the state had done before had failed, but 340 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: his program would be different. So here is what's happened. 341 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 1: According to Kendall, in the two years since Newsom launched 342 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: care Court, it has reached only a few hundred people. 343 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: He had promised thousand. In fact, he had complained about 344 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: a previous mental health program called Laura's Law, and that 345 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: only helped about two hundred people a year, and he 346 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: criticized it, and his program was going to help thousands. 347 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: Well, it helped only slightly more. 348 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: Cow Matters contacted every county in California, all fifty eight 349 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: and requested care Court data, conducted more than thirty interviews 350 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: for the first detailed look at the state program, and 351 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: they found out only five hundred and twenty eight people 352 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: have gotten treatment agreements or treatment plans. Now they've gotten 353 00:23:53,640 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: thousands of petitions. Well, two four hundred and twenty one. 354 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: Newsom had said it was going to be up to 355 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: twelve thousand would qualify, but we just got twenty four 356 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: hundred petitions. And only five hundred have resulted in treatment. 357 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: Los Angeles only saw five hundred and eleven petitions filed, 358 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: only one hundred and twelve resulted in care agreements or plans. 359 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 1: Now we know there's seventy thousand people living in La 360 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: County in a homeless environment. Seventy thousand. So Newsom's big 361 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: program helped one hundred and twelve. How about that. So 362 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: the narcissistic psychopath has let this program limp along for 363 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: three years after his big press conference and has helped 364 00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,680 Speaker 1: virtually nobody. It's a statistically insignificant percentage of people were helped. 365 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: That's the same thing in San Diego. 366 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: They had one thousand petitions in the first year, but 367 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: they only helped two hundred and fifty after two years, 368 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: two more years, three hundred and eighty four petitions, one 369 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four agreements for help. So his big 370 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: idea has been largely a flop. It hasn't changed what's 371 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: going on in the streets because you have to force people. 372 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: You pick them up off the streets, You make a 373 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: quick assessment, and you put them in some kind of 374 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: treatment center, and they do a further assessment and you 375 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: keep them there. That's the only thing that ultimili is 376 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: going to work. They're not oppressed, they're insane. Criminals are 377 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: not oppressed. 378 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:05,199 Speaker 2: They're evil and this violates Newsome and Bass's religion, so 379 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: they don't do anything about it. They can't. 380 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: They took an oath to serve these people at our expense. 381 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: That's who they wake up in the morning worrying about. 382 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: That's why Cared Bass runs and screams hysterically at border 383 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: patrol agents adhering to the law and has nothing to 384 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: say to the homeowners of the Palisades who saw their 385 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: town burned down because of her negligence. She doesn't care 386 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: about normal people neither just Newsome. I don't think they 387 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 1: really care about these mental patients and homeless people either, 388 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: because these people live in disgusting, disgusting conditions, disgusting squalor. 389 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: But in their religion, those people are oppressed and they 390 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: have the right to do so. 391 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 2: You're following all this, I'm telling you the truth. You'll see. 392 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: We can all convene this time again in three months, 393 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 1: six months, a year, and this situation will be the 394 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: same because bassit Newsom will still revere all those categories 395 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: protected by their religion, and very few people in the 396 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: media will criticize them over it complain about it, because 397 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: again they go to the same church. 398 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: More coming up. 399 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 400 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 3: six forty. 401 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: On from one to four and after four o'clock. You 402 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 1: listened to the podcast earlier, we talked about Trump losing 403 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 1: a decision in the district court. Charles Bryer said he 404 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,640 Speaker 1: cannot use federal troops in Los Angeles to conduct law 405 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: enforcement operations. There're still marines here. Trump has been threatening 406 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: to use them to enforce criminal law. They were left 407 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: over from the Ice riots. Royal Oaks. ABC News legal 408 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: analysts coming on right after two o'clock to tell us 409 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: the likelihood of Trump winning in appeals court the way 410 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: he did last time when Briar said that Trump could 411 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: not be in charge of the National Guard here in California, 412 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: and Briar had said you can't, and the appeals court says, well, 413 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: yes you can, You're the president. So we'll see if 414 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: this next ruling goes down the same path. 415 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: Hey, Deborah, are you there, I'm here, Can you hear me? Yeah? 416 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: I have not talked to you in weeks. 417 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 4: I miss you. 418 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: Well, you were you went off to Italy, I know, 419 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: and then you went off I know, and. 420 00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 2: I'm still off you. Nothing happened there. 421 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 4: Can you believe it? 422 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 2: And I know you're so disappointed. 423 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: We were mildly disappointed, like if at least a volcano 424 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: had blown yep, or some kind of earthquake or I 425 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, some outbreak. 426 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 4: No, nothing, can you believe that? 427 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: But I think the first time in five years, you 428 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: didn't cause a disaster in the country you were visiting. 429 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 4: I know, I know. 430 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 2: I feel so proud.

Actually, yeah, when I got 439 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 4: off the plane, I was I was very happy that 440 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 4: I could say that I honestly did not cause any 441 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 4: chaos there. 442 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: I know, because a war broke out just a couple 443 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: of years ago in Israel. The big war just days 444 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: after you were supposed to arrive. 445 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, yes, and days before. 446 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 1: Or actually broke it days before you arrived, right, yes. 447 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: And then there was massive flooding in Dubai right before 448 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: you were supposed to land there. Yep, the queen you 449 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: killed the queen while you were in Scotland. She actually 450 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: died almost in front of you, that's yeah. And then 451 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: you got COVID Mexican. You started a COVID outbreak in Mexico. Yeah, 452 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: that's four. That's four major events. 453 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 2: But Italy so nothing. 454 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 1: You know, and lots of stuff goes on in Italy. 455 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: It's very unstable in a lot of ways. You know, 456 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 1: they've had I read the other day they've had like 457 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: sixty one governments in the last sixty nine years. So 458 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: I figured, well, at least the government will fall apart, 459 00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: because it does anyway. 460 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 2: Right. 461 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 4: Well, you were also worried about earthquakes, right, you thought 462 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 4: there would be. 463 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: A big earthquake. Earthquakes very common. 464 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: Volcanoes, I mean one down in Sicily is always spewing lava, 465 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: I mean that's routine. I figured we were due for 466 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: Vesuvius again. Probably nothing, no, nothing. 467 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 4: I had such a good time.

And I heard some people 533 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 4: behind me talking about Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom, so 534 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 4: I was sort of eavesdropping. So then I turned around 535 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 4: and I said, well, I'm a news anchor in la 536 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 4: and I'm really interested in hearing what you guys have 537 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 4: to say.
