1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. I can't get that 3 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: Kamil Harris thing out of my head. It actually did 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,319 Speaker 1: something to my circuitry. I she had one of her 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: classic words salads. We are going to talk now to 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: Carl Demyo. Carl, really, something happened to me after listening 7 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: to that. Carl Demyo is a Republican assemblyman out of 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: San Diego. He's on frequently with us, and he's got 9 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: a new plan. It's a coalition that's forming to collect 10 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,279 Speaker 1: one million signatures. So a constitutional amendment will appear on 11 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: the statewide ballot in twenty twenty six. And this would 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: be a voter ID initiative. Everybody would have to show 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: an ID in order to vote, because you know, we 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: have ballot harvesting, We have all kinds of problems with 15 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: voting in California. Most people shouldn't trust it. I know 16 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: I don't. Let's get Carl Demayo on and talk. Well, Carl, 17 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: welcome and explain what's this constitutional amendment about specifically. 18 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: Well, look, a lot of Californians don't trust our elections. 19 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: They've lost public trust and confidence in the way in 20 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: which illegal immigrants seemingly are being put on the voter roles, 21 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 2: the fact that we have a lot of outdated voter roles. 22 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: Where in Los Angeles County, for example, Judicial Watch had 23 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 2: to sue because there were more people registered to vote 24 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: three years ago than they were actual living people in 25 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: the county. We know that the signature reviews are not 26 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 2: done properly. There's a lot of ballot harvesting. So here's 27 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 2: the thing we need to solve the problem. And when 28 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: I talked to Democrat voters and Republicans and everyone in between, 29 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: they all say, look, I'll be happy once we get 30 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: voter ID. And so let's do that. Just settle the 31 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: debate here and now let's restore public trust and confidence. 32 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: Do what twenty eight other states already do, and that 33 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: is require photo ID for in person voting, or the 34 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: last four digits of your driver's license on an envelope 35 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: if you're doing it by mail. This is common sense. 36 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: It's not controversial. The polling that we just finished as 37 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 2: part of our campaign shows that sixty eight percent of 38 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 2: California support voter ID. But we're doing one more thing 39 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: with this John, We've got another reform that I think 40 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: is as important as voter ID and that is citizenship verification. 41 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 2: And that would happen if you want to register to 42 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 2: vote in California. When you initially register, we have to 43 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: verify your citizenship, and so we would that you provide 44 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: a document, one document from government demonstrating that you're a citizen, 45 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 2: and then your grandfather on the voter role for the 46 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 2: rest of your life. I'll tell you this right now, 47 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: most people are already in this category because they've already 48 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: provided various documents to the DMV for California real ID 49 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 2: and that allows you to fly on airplanes. Ninety eight 50 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: percent of Californians have a real ID, so we're talking 51 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 2: about only two percent that in the first election that 52 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 2: this is implemented, would have to add an additional document, 53 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 2: just one time to verify their citizenship. This cleans up 54 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: the voter roles and then establishes a verification process thereafter. 55 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: It is common sense, let's get it done. 56 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 1: And Democratic politicians are against it because they want to 57 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: continue the scam. They want the ballot harvesting the illegal immigrants, 58 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: they want those votes. I think it had a lot 59 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: to do with them achieving a super majority in recent years. 60 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: I do think that it has had a major impact 61 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: on discouraging people from voting because they feel like, well, 62 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 2: my vote doesn't count because it's already rigged. Look, we 63 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 2: can't have a healthy democracy when people don't participate because 64 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: they think, either real or perceived that the election is rigged. 65 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: So let's settle the debate. Let's go and verify that 66 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: we have accurate voter lists with only citizens on them 67 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: who are eligible, and then make sure that we have 68 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: identity verification every time someone returns a ballot. Again, twenty 69 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 2: eight states already do this. It's not rocket science, it's 70 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: not controversial. Our polling shows that a majority of Democrats 71 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: support this, and a super majority of Independents and Republicans. Obviously, 72 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: we also have a majority of African Americans, a super 73 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: majority of Latinos. About the only group that we found 74 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: that don't like voter ID Sacramento politicians. They do not 75 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: want to give us a voter ID law in Sacramento. 76 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 2: They've shot my law down, and so I've decided, well, 77 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: let's take it to the voters by by collecting finagers. 78 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: Now now I know that they shoot it down because 79 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: they want to protect their super majorities. But what's the 80 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: public reason they give for opposing your law. 81 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 2: Oh, they say it's racists. They say it's going to 82 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 2: suppress voter turnout. None of that is true. There's not 83 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: a single bit of data that suggests that people somehow 84 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: feel like, you know, showing their license will impact their voting. 85 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: We had a great test case in Georgia just a 86 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: few years ago, the voter ID and it turns out 87 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: that that nearly all black voters agreed with the voter 88 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: ID law. Remember Major League Baseball moved the All Star 89 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: Game out of at landed a protest. Sure, Joe Biden 90 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: called it Jim Crow two point zero. There was this 91 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: huge ruckus. The voter ID law passes. Nearly all blacks 92 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: supported it as well as all the other demographics, and 93 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: they got a higher turnout among blacks and everyone else. 94 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: Going to your point, where people trusted that the election 95 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: was real and not tainted in. 96 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: Some way, that's correct and and and that's why the voters, 97 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: if they get a chance to vote on this, are 98 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: going to overwhelm thely pass it. But our here's our challenge. 99 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: We need a million matures in one hundred and eighty 100 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: days to get this on the ballot. So I'm asking everybody, 101 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 2: if you want to take back this state, if you 102 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 2: want public trust and confidence again in our elections with 103 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: voter ID, go to the website voter ID petition dot 104 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: org and sign up voter ID petition dot org. We 105 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: can't do this unless people are willing to fight, and 106 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 2: I can't do this alone. I can organize the campaign, 107 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: but it's really up to grassroots supporters who want to 108 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 2: make this happen to step forward, and that means go 109 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: to the website voter ID petition dot org. 110 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: All right, Carl Demayah, excellent work as always, Thank you 111 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: so much, Thank you for coming on. When we come back. 112 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: Missus potato Head is running for governor as long as 113 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: Kamala's empty head doesn't get in the race. That's next. 114 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: Can we have somebody normal? Is there anybody normal out there? 115 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 3: You're listening to on co Belt on demand from KFI 116 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: AM six forty. 117 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: Follow us to John Cobelt Radio and social media at 118 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Radio. Missus potato Head. Katie Porter, the former 119 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Orange County congresswoman, is running for governor and she's another 120 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: one who's considered a top contender unless uh Kamala Harris 121 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: enters the race. And we just played you her Dorito's 122 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: words salad a half an hour ago, and and Eric 123 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: saved that one because that that's a Hall of Fame entry, 124 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: no problem. She sounded drunk and stoned while babbling on 125 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: for two and a half minutes about Dorito's and Ai 126 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: and I don't know, I couldn't, I couldn't understand anything else. 127 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: But Katie Porter, I call him missus potato head because 128 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: one time, and this is in legal records, she got 129 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: so mad at her then husband they eventually divorced, she 130 00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: dumped steaming massed potatoes on his head during dinner. I 131 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: think in front of the kids. I don't know how 132 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: much hair the guy has, but he doesn't have much 133 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: hair that's really gonna hurt. Mashed potatoes right from the 134 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: pot on his head. And she kind of looks like 135 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: a sack of potatoes too. I just I just think 136 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: it fits. She's a loud mouth, and she starts her 137 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: campaign by saying that she's gonna be running against Trump. 138 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: I first ran for office to hold Trump accountable. I'll 139 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: never back down when Trump hurts Californians, whether he's holding 140 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: up disaster relief, attacking our rights, or our communities, are 141 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: screwing overwhelming working families to benefit himself and his cronies. 142 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: Interesting because there's a story about Gavin Newsom and his 143 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: wife today and Gavin Newsom and you know, we have 144 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: the highest electricity rates in the nation, the highest gas rates, 145 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: gasoline prices in the nation. And when PG and E 146 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: started the camp fire back in what was it now, 147 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: almost ten years ago, right, that's the one that burned 148 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: Paradise and killed eighty five people up in northern California 149 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, burned Paradise, killed eighty five people, and they 150 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: were convicted of eighty four counts of manslaughter and they 151 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: were going to go bankrupt, and Gavin Newsom bailed them 152 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: out with an insurance package which was paid for by us. 153 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: In return, PG and E gave his various campaign accounts 154 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand dollars over the years. It was like 155 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 1: a long running seven hundred thousand dollars payback and paid 156 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: money to finance at least two Jennifer Newsom gender equity films, 157 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: gender justice films seriously, and I'm thinking she we've got. 158 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: Katie Porter thinks that that Trump is screwing over working families. 159 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: Gas in California is often two bucks more a gallon 160 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: than other states. That really screws working families. Electricity rates 161 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: here are double than many other states, partly because the 162 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: state has these stupid demands on developing wind and solar, 163 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: and so a place like PG and E uses all 164 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: its available capital capital for wind and solar, and they 165 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: don't do basic maintenance to keep their electrical wires fastened 166 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: to the electrical poles and towers. Their maintenance is terrible. 167 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: Everything's old, and the wires fall to the ground or 168 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: the towers fall to the ground when you have windstorms 169 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: and it starts these massive fires and then it kills 170 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: eighty five people and then puts out an enormous amount 171 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 1: of carbon and toxic materials into the air. In fact, 172 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: one of those big fires undoes about twenty years worth 173 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: of climate savings that Newsom has instituted. Whatever they're saving 174 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: with all their idiotic regulations and taxes, it's all overwhelmed 175 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: by the amount of carbon dioxide, another toxic filth that 176 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: goes into the air. So the idea that Katie Porter 177 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: is running against Trump so he doesn't screw over our 178 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: working class people. Believe me, Katie Porter's buddies and Sacramento 179 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: like Gavin Newsom, are doing plenty to screw us, all 180 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: of us. But I mentioned I mentioned Jennifer Newsom's movies, 181 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: and these are gender justice movies, documentaries. I always wondered 182 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: what they sounded like cut eleven. We're going to play 183 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: a condensed trailer for her twenty eleven documentary called Miss Representation. 184 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 4: The media is the message and the messenger, and increasingly 185 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 4: a powerful one. 186 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 5: In a world of a million channels, people try to 187 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 5: do more shocking and shocking things to break through the clutter. 188 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 5: They resort to violent images, or sexually offensive images or 189 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 5: demeaning images. 190 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 6: When is it going to be enough? 191 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 7: There is no appreciation for women intellectual. It's all about 192 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 7: the body, not about the breed. 193 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 4: You all saw the photo from the weekend of Hillary 194 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 4: looking so haggard and what looking like ninety. 195 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: Two years old breast implants? 196 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 7: Did you have them or not? 197 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 8: If you waterboarded Nancy Pelosi, she wouldn't admit the plastic surgery. 198 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 4: The fact that media are so derogatory to the most 199 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 4: powerful women in the country. Then what does it say 200 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: about media's ability to take any woman in Marca? 201 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 7: Seriously? 202 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: All right, this stop stop this. Jennifer Newsom was an 203 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: actress and she butted up with Harvey Weinstein. Remember she 204 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,679 Speaker 1: was trying to get Harvey Weinstein to do something for her, 205 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: and then she claimed he started molesting her or something, 206 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: except the jury didn't believe it. She was the only 207 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: woman the jury didn't believe in that particular case. And 208 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: then even after he supposedly assaulted her, he was calling 209 00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: her up for advice for Gavin Newsom, and I forget 210 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: there was some kind of public issue that Newsom was 211 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: dealing with. Jennifer calls Weinstein for advice on what to do. 212 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: So she's a total phony that she's worried about what 213 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: the what the media does? I mean, I'm sure she 214 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: did everything to beautify herself to look the part, to 215 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: be a success in the movies. If they told her 216 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: to cut off her nose, she would have cut off 217 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: her nose, all right. Play Cut twelve. This is a 218 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: trailer for her twenty twenty two documentary fair Play, and 219 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: Katie Porter makes an appearance in this. 220 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 9: I had the breast pump in the diaper bag and 221 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 9: the pastor seat of my car. I was racing to 222 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 9: get Zach at his Todyler transition program. Had a client 223 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 9: contract in my lap. The pen would stab me in 224 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 9: the vagina. Set aside to send me a text, I'm 225 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 9: surprised you didn't get blueberries. I remember thinking to myself, 226 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 9: I'm the default for literally every single household and domestic 227 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 9: task for my family. 228 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 2: When I became a mom, I felt like my identity 229 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: completely changed. I really didn't understand the amount that she 230 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: had to endure. 231 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 4: It goes back to the twisted notion of we you 232 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 4: just got to ask for their help. 233 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 7: I don't want to ask what time? Yeah, I have 234 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 7: two foot from work, hardy. 235 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 9: I became obsessed with a quest to figure out what 236 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 9: was happening. 237 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: To us when it comes to care, we're so far behind. 238 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 5: We're saying we value work more than we value our families. 239 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: There's this hidden message there which is just too expensive 240 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 2: to support women. 241 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: Work family conflict. 242 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 4: It's not even about women, it's about men and gender 243 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 4: pressures on men. 244 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 7: Oh Jesus, for men, what feminism is for women? For God? 245 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 9: For women to step into their full power in the world, 246 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 9: it requires men to step into their full power in 247 00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 9: the home. 248 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: That legacy that we all do. We get potatoes on 249 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: our head, hot potatoes.

And he 276 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: was talking about Karen Bass, and he said, the frustrating 277 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: thing is, no matter what seems to happen, all these 278 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: people just keep moving on with their jobs.

And no matter what happens, because much of 283 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: the media is in support of all these progressive politicians 284 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: and most of the most of the government, well nearly 285 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: all the government is democratic. It's a one party rule 286 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: that Karen Bass can go off to Ghana while the 287 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: Palisades burns comes back, Stone Walls everyone. Now she's deleted 288 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: her emails, nothing ever happens, and Deanise Kenonez doesn't fill 289 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 1: up a one hundred and seventeen million gallon reservoir and 290 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: nothing happens. She didn't tell the fire chief, she didn't 291 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: tell the mayor, she didn't tell the people of the 292 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: Palisades that the fire department, what's left of it, is 293 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 1: going in unarmed. And then the galling thing. This week 294 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: we found out that she wanted a security protection, she 295 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: wanted armed protection, she wanted a driver to take her 296 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 1: to work. Now she's making seven hundred and fifty one 297 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: thousand dollars of your money, seven or fifty thousand dollars. 298 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: And what did we find out? There's thirteen hundred fire 299 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: hydroens busted in the city, many of them in the Palisades. 300 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 1: There was virtually no water supply that was useful for 301 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 1: a fire, and a lot of homes burned in the 302 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: fire department didn't even show up because there's not that 303 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: many firefighters and they don't have any water, even if 304 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 1: they did have a crew waiting, I mean, they sent 305 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,160 Speaker 1: some crew members home because they didn't have fire trucks, 306 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: because one hundred of them are being being serviced. Except 307 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: we don't have mechanics. But you know what we do have, 308 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: or at least this was the plan. We had seven 309 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars to pay for Genice Kinoniez security. Seriously, 310 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 1: that was the proposal, which is about five times the 311 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: amount that would have fixed the pool c Remember the 312 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: pool cover had a tear, would have taken a month 313 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty grand to fix it. Instead, they 314 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: left it empty for a year. And now they want 315 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: to spend seven hundred thousand dollars on security for Deanie 316 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 1: Kenoniez because she's getting a lot of threats because her 317 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: actions helped burn down thousands of homes. Well, there's been 318 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: so much blowback that Karen Bass has gotten involved. Here, 319 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: I'm going to play a clip from the president of 320 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: the LEDWP, Richard Katz. Now they've been having meeting public 321 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: meetings for weeks and they never discuss why the uh 322 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: why the reservoir wasn't filled up. This is fascinating, and 323 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: Canona sits there at the meetings. Well, he had to 324 00:20:55,240 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: comment about Genie Kenonie's security detail because they're postponed the vote. 325 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 326 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 6: Before we get into the agenda, I'd like to take 327 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 6: Item one. 328 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 7: Security contract and. 329 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 6: First step to the next meeting. And the recent mayor 330 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 6: called last night we had a discussion about this, and 331 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 6: the mayor made it very clear that she would like 332 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 6: to see this much less expensive contract than the one 333 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 6: that we have before us. We're going to work on 334 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 6: that between now and the next meeting and see if 335 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 6: we'll get either a couple more quotes on it or 336 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 6: pare down the quote that we have. But for that 337 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 6: reason and at the Mayor's request, we're going to put 338 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 6: this over for two weeks. 339 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: So moving along, moving along, all right, as Karen bas says, 340 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: go forward, We're going to go forward. We're going to 341 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: move along. We're going to pretend the fire didn't happen, unless, 342 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: of course, you had your home burn to the ground. 343 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: But everybody else just move along, go forward. They don't 344 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: discuss the reservoir, they don't discuss the lack of water pressure, 345 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: they don't discuss all the busted fire hydrants. Moving along, 346 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: Moving along, they claimed, as part of their lazy excuses, 347 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: it's like, well, it took a year, and by the way, 348 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: the reservoir the cover is still not installed and the 349 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: reservoir is still empty. They claim that, well, we had 350 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: a competitive bidding process. You know, there are certain rules. 351 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: They only had one bid, competitive bidding. They had one bid. 352 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: The thing is for Kenonia's security detail, there was no 353 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: bidding process. They just accepted a bid. Well, they don't 354 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: really care what it costs, and she was getting the 355 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: security detail. In fact, yesterday they were supposed to do 356 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: the final vote on it was supposed to be a 357 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: done deal, seven hundred thousand dollars for her security when 358 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: they wouldn't spend one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to 359 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: fix the pool cover. The pool cover, but that's what 360 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: it was, the reservoir cover, which they didn't even need. 361 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: The reservoir was built to put out fires. And the 362 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: thing is they don't want to hear from anyone. They 363 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: don't respond to anything. I wish there should be some mess, 364 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: some mechanism for a massive public investigation. I know they's 365 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: supposed to be a state investigation, but you know they'll 366 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: release it the night before Independence Day or Labor Day 367 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: months months down the road, you know, eight o'clock on 368 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: a Friday night on a long holiday weekend, and the 369 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: TV stations won't cover it because most of the people 370 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: won't even understand it. And there should be a public 371 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: investigation where we get an update every week, like like 372 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 1: they start publishing the results of the investigation. Well, this 373 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: week we interviewed the following people. Here's what they told us. 374 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: You know, create a storyline from week to week so 375 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: we understand, so we could catch early on who's lying, 376 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: who's full of it? But boy, did they move They 377 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: want to move fast for her security detail? How about 378 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: you move fast and fire her. Why isn't she fired? 379 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: Why don't you just tell her to stay home, don't 380 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: show up anymore. You've done enough damage. Does she have 381 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: to answer to anybody? How do they treat her at work? 382 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: How does this happen? Like? Does everybody show up in 383 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: hygien ees? How you doing? What's going on? Do they 384 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: all act like they're all competent there at the DWP, 385 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 1: like they know what they're doing? Do they have any guilt? 386 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: Do they feel bad all the people involved in not 387 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: filling up the reservoir? Do they think about it in 388 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: the middle of the night? Did they ever wonder how 389 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: those kids feel whose homes were burned out and all 390 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: their toys burned and their school burned and running away screaming? 391 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: And do they think about it because they wouldn't fill 392 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: the reservoir? 393 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 7: Oh? 394 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: I have these regulations for a betting. It was a year. 395 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: It still is a year. Nobody gets fired. How do 396 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: we end up in Asia? When nobody gets fired for anything? 397 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: Like the last twenty five years, Nobody ever got fired. 398 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: Nobody got fired during the Biden administration. Nobody got fired 399 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: during the Bush administration when everybody failed and let Assama 400 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: bring down those towers, and they knew about that a 401 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: month in advance. Everybody just forgets things. Nobody gets fired. 402 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: No accountability, no responsibility, doesn't really matter. And you wonder 403 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: why they don't care about how they perform. All Right, 404 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: we come back. Elon Musk is saying the same thing 405 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 1: about the federal government that I'm telling you about the 406 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: Los Angeles homeless racket. It's all about these nonprofits. They're 407 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: set up to steal money from taxpayers. It's a loophole 408 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: in the law. Elon Musk explained it yesterday on Fox Business. 409 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: That's next. 410 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six. 411 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: Forty Conway coming up in minutes. I've been telling you 412 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: that the whole homeless industry is a scam, is a 413 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 1: racket here in Los Angeles. There's more news today in 414 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: the last few days about the Los Angeles Homeless Authority 415 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: and the audit which found over two billion dollars basically 416 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: missing in action. And they give the money to these 417 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 1: they're called NGOs, not government or organizations, nonprofits, and then 418 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: the nonprofits enriched themselves, blow the money on all their 419 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 1: friends and relatives and it disappears. And that's the way 420 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: the world works in government here, it's the homeless racket. 421 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: In Washington, it's endless rackets. And that's what Elon Musk 422 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: is dismantling, which is why they're squealing so loud. Elon 423 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: Musk went on with Larry Kudlow from Fox Business and 424 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: explained how the racket in Washington works. But it's the 425 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: same racket that's going on here. Play the clip by this. 426 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 7: How do you do it? Okay? How big is your team? Yeah? 427 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 7: Where'd you recruit most of them from? 428 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,679 Speaker 8: And what is it that makes you choose, you know, 429 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 8: the Treasury or Social Security or USAID? 430 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 7: How does it work? Let the public know? Please? Right? 431 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 10: Well, we just basically follow the money, you know, we 432 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 10: look at the presence executive orders, and we also just 433 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 10: follow the money. 434 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 7: So we started looking close. 435 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 10: At USCID because they were completely violating the presence executive 436 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 10: orders to suspend foreign foreign aid, you know's what's called 437 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 10: forign aid. 438 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 7: But in our view is a lot of corruption. 439 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 10: So what we saw there is just a trans amount 440 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 10: of money being sent to non governmental organizations. But actually 441 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,119 Speaker 10: it's this, by the way, is I think one of 442 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 10: the biggest sources of fraud in the world is government 443 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 10: funded non governmental organizations. 444 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 7: This is a. 445 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 10: Gigantic fraud loophole where the government can give money to 446 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 10: an NGO and then that there are no controls over 447 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 10: that NGO, so. 448 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 7: They've given billions dollars. 449 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 10: In thatch, we estimate tens of billions of dollars to 450 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 10: NGOs that are essentially scams. 451 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 7: And right way, I try to put us off to that. 452 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's going on in la version. In 453 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: la is, the government gives billions of dollars to these 454 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: homeless nonprofits that squander the money and they're not required 455 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: to show where they spend it and if any of 456 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: it works. And it's the same model that all these 457 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: organizations use, whether it's the federal government or the states 458 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: or local and billions of dollars disappear and nothing illegal 459 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: about it Conway and Thompson. 460 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 8: I was, I was just talking about that very thing 461 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 8: today actually, and the home and the homeless issue in 462 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 8: LA actually was there. 463 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 5: And the sales tax is going up again, yeah April first, 464 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 5: April fools. 465 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's. 466 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 8: It is wild though to hear Elon Mush talk about 467 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 8: here we go entities getting money from the government that 468 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 8: are not not audited or non governmental. 469 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: At least he gives them a rocket, okay once in 470 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: a while. I mean they give it to Boeing and 471 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: that didn't do any good. That's true.
