00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: available for all. Right, now that we've got that out

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: of the way, I'm we're gonna talk in just a

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: moment to Joe Vinettieri, the mayor of Whittier, because his

21
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: town and every other town in city in California got

22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: a message today from Governor Newsom. I can't read the

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: whole thing, but it's long because it comes from Governor Newsom,

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: and it's it's from the office of the Governor, and

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: it's a model ordinance. He would like every city and

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: town to pass some version of this model ordinance about

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: homeless encampments. After ten years, the last six and a

28
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: half under Newsom's rule, he's finally pretending to come to

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: the party and demanding that all public homeless encampments be removed. Yesy,

30
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: in what May of twenty twenty five, all public homeless

31
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: encampments should be removed. And the ordinance goes on for

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: several pages, but to give you an example, he wants

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: camping in one place for more than three nights in

34
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: a row to be banned. He wants semi permanent structures

35
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 2: like makeshift shacks on public property to be torn down,

36
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: anything that blocks sidewalks or streets. You can't camp on

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: public on public property, you have to stay two hundred

38
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 2: feet away from whatever location you camped on the previous

39
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: day or night. And and and you can't sleep, lie,

40
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 2: or camp on any public street, road, or bike path

41
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: or any sidewalk.

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: That is an ADA violation. Again, we've had.

43
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: Ten years of rampant homelessness, and the last few years

44
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: are especially bad. He's running up against opposition, obviously to

45
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: a lot of progressive mayors and city councils like the

46
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: one that holds Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Hie, and look,

47
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: he's running for governor and he's running for president.

48
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: That's the beginning and end of this story.

49
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: He's running for president and he knows that he can't

50
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: credibly run for more than five minutes without Democratic opponents

51
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 2: first beating the tar out of him, over allowing the

52
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: state to become one big, disgusting human cesspool. He knows

53
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: he can't get elected to anything. He's not going to

54
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: make one primary. He's not going to get to the primaries.

55
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 2: He'll do worse than Kamala Harris. At least when Kamala

56
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: Harris ran, she actually wasn't responsible for anything. She never

57
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: had a real job of governing in terms of being

58
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: a mayor or a governor. You know, she was a

59
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: legislator at best. So let's get to Joe Vintieri on

60
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: the Mayor Wittier and see what he thinks.

61
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 1: Joe, how are you a good job?

62
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 3: Been a long time and I know you're doing well.

63
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, things are going well. Have you given this a look?

64
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: This this ordinance that he'd like your town and every

65
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: other town to pass.

66
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: We've been as you just indicated, we've been working this

67
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: whole situation for ten years. This is nothing new to us.

68
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 3: And what it comes down to is the fact that

69
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: homeless encampments they're not safe, they're dirty, and there's disease there,

70
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: and it's taken a while for some people to come

71
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: around to it. Uh. And you know, we talked about

72
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: this before, and we your we had two homeless encampments,

73
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: and of course we were we couldn't we couldn't do

74
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: anything about it because of US Supreme Court decision of Boisei. Uh.

75
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: And so we ended up going to Judge Carter and

76
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: we've got a into a federal lawsuit, and we basically

77
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: worked out a deal that said, look at you, you

78
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: put together a shelter, we will give you the right

79
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: to go ahead and enforce your law, your anti camping ordinances.

80
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 3: Because those those it's been on the books in almost

81
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 3: fall cities for years. It's just that we couldn't enforce

82
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: them because of the Voice case. Then the Grant's past came.

83
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,599
Speaker 3: They came down what last year, which basically overturned Boisy.

84
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: So now we're in a position all cities can go

85
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: ahead and deal with those encampments.

86
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: But let me let me just explain for some people

87
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: who don't keep track of all this stuff. But the

88
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: latest Supreme Court case from from last year said that

89
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: nobody has the right to sleep in a public area

90
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: and that it doesn't violate anybody's civil rights to say

91
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: you've got to go, and if it's a public area,

92
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: if and the town wants you out, you got to go.

93
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Period.

94
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: That's right, exactly so, but a lot of us had

95
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 3: already done that prior to Grant's past, because encampments are

96
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: are you know, they do two things. And I know

97
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: this sounds cold, but we and Whittier we have a

98
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: shelter and if you want off the street, we will

99
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: take care of you basically and move you along in

100
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: a good place. But most of the people who are

101
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: still on the streets are one of two. They are

102
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: either doing drugs and this is how they want to

103
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: live their life. And there's been no enforcements in La

104
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: County because of our prior District Attorney of any drug

105
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: charges or and or I should say there's mental illness involved.

106
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: There's mental illness. Those people need to be treated, and

107
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 3: they need to be in a place where they're taking

108
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: care of, such an as Metropolitan State Hospital here in

109
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 3: Los Angeles County. The state's got all kinds of places

110
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: that they could put mentally ill people and give them

111
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: the treatment and then get them back out in productive life,

112
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: but the state has been very, very slow to come around.

113
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: Now.

114
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 3: I got to say this for the governor about two

115
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 3: years ago, I think you started understanding this, and he

116
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: started doing some things to beef up mental health, and

117
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 3: it's way late. And those of us in local government,

118
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 3: we rely on the state, We rely on the county

119
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: to provide mental health because we don't have the resources,

120
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: we don't have the counselors. But those people need help

121
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: and they need to be in a place where they

122
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: need to take care of. Those are the people primarily

123
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: who are encampments.

124
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: Well, he woke up because it's only nineteen months until

125
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: his term ends, and he plans to launch his presidential

126
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: campaign right after that, and he realizes he's got nothing

127
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: to run on here. There's a disaster from border to border,

128
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: from the ocean to the desert, nothing but a disaster.

129
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: If I were totally cynical, I'd say he wants to

130
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: run for president. The Olympics are coming up here very

131
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: very shortly, and in terms of legacy, we still got

132
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 3: people living on the street and they're not being dealt

133
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: with compassionately, infirmly to be handed with you. And we

134
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 3: just had a new proposition that was passed in Sacramento,

135
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 3: and you know what, the people are finally understanding that,

136
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: look at we want to be compassionate, you want to help,

137
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: but you know what, Uh, these people have to want

138
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: to do business too, and if they're going to do

139
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: drugs or do whatever, they have to be forced. It's

140
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: going to be dealt with.

141
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: They have to be forced, period, end the story.

142
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: The police have to be involved and they have to

143
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 2: they have to be taken away and if they resist,

144
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: then they get choices.

145
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: You go to jail, you go to treatment. That's a decis.

146
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: You're going for the judge and the judge says, I

147
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 3: want to treat you, but if you're not your shoes

148
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: not then you're gonna have to do some time. We

149
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: have not had that here in this area for quite

150
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: a while. Things coming back a.

151
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: Ten year progressive experiment, complete failure, absolute failure.

152
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: Time's up. Now we got to go back to normal life. John.

153
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: It's common sense. Yeah, it's real simple, it's common sense.

154
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: All right, Joe p Liasten, Good luck. We will keep

155
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: talking with this. Thank you for coming on.

156
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: Good absolutely and good to talk to you.

157
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 2: All right, Joe Vinitieri, the mayor of Whittier, talking about

158
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. Suddenly here on what is this May the twelfth,

159
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five. He has been in office since

160
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: I believe January first or so of twenty nineteen, so

161
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: we're talking about six and a half years, and he's

162
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: done nothing but blowed twenty four billion dollars that he

163
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 2: admits he doesn't know where the money went, twenty four

164
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 2: billion dollars, and he's offering to throw another three billion

165
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 2: at the towns and cities if they adopt his model

166
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: ordinance when we come back. The first I heard of

167
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: this this morning was a story in the New York

168
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: Times about Newsome asking ees to ban homeless encampments. And

169
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 2: I only had to go to the third paragraph before

170
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: I started shouting at the cat.

171
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from KFI AM

172
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 4: six forty.

173
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 2: Well, we just finished talking with Joe Vinettieri, the wider mayor,

174
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 2: because he and every other mayor, every other city council

175
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: person is going is now hearing from Governor Newsom. Newsom

176
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: started the week off. You know how politicians bury bad

177
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 2: news on Fridays, hoping nobody notices it disappears over the weekend. Well,

178
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: when they have something they want the world to know about,

179
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: it comes out Monday morning with a press release and

180
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: even a model ordinance on how to deal with homelessness. Yes,

181
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, after six and a half years as governor,

182
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: after fourteen and a half years in Sacramento as an executive,

183
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: either governor or lieutenant governor, finally has realized you have

184
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: to force homeless people off the street. They're never going

185
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: to go on their own and that it's really really

186
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: disgusting that we have hundreds of thousands living in the streets.

187
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: And I'm not exaggerating on that hundreds of thousands. So

188
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 2: now he is proposing that homeless people be forced off

189
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: the street. They can't spend more than three days in

190
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: a row in one place, and they have to be moved.

191
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 2: They cannot camp on public property. No tents, no sleeping bags,

192
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 2: no blankets, It doesn't matter if they're sitting lying. They

193
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: can't build their own semi permitted structures like sheds and

194
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 2: heavy no metal, heavy roofing, sighting materials. Can't camp within

195
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: two hundred feet of any posted notices. Can't sleep lie

196
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,239
Speaker 2: camp on any street, road, bike path, or any sidewalk

197
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: that impedes passage. Say twenty twenty five, Make twelve and

198
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five. It figures this out. So I ready

199
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: read about this. We actually ray said it to me.

200
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: This morning. New York Times had a story that they

201
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: posted written by Sean Hubler. She's a woman who used

202
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: to work for the La Times, and she's a progressive.

203
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: And you're saying, well, how do you know that?

204
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: I go.

205
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: Let me read you her language. Let me read you

206
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 2: the way she frames the argument in this alleged news story.

207
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: She starts out there saying Newsom has raised and spent

208
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: tens of billions of dollars on programs to bring homeless

209
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: people into housing and to emphasize treatment. Clearly a massive

210
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: waste of money and failure. That would be tens of

211
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: billions of dollars that used to be long to us,

212
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: and now it doesn't anymore. She writes that California is

213
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: home to about half of the nation's unsheltered homeless. Get

214
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: this next phrase, a visible byproduct of the temperate climate

215
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: and the state's brutal housing crisis. No, no, no, no, no,

216
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 2: it has nothing to do with this temperate climate.

217
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: I told you.

218
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: I've been to cities in Florida and North Carolina recently.

219
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: They too have a temperate climate housing crisis. There's a

220
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: lot of cities where housing is expensive and they don't

221
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: have these people living on the streets. We allowed these

222
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: people to live on the streets for ten years. We

223
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: didn't move them along, so they took root and they multiplied.

224
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: And the people still on the streets are mostly mentally

225
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: ill or addicted to drugs. So they're not unsheltered because

226
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 2: of the climate and the brutal housing costs. They're unsheltered

227
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: because they're drug addicts, or they're crazy, rampant mental illness,

228
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: rampant drug addiction. That is the beginning and end of

229
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 2: the story. It starts with drug addiction, ends with mental

230
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: illness or vice versa. Enough with the climate, enough with

231
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 2: the housing problem, Because a normal person. When they realize

232
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 2: they can't afford to live in a certain area, they

233
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: move to a cheaper area. That's what normal people do.

234
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: In fact, there has been about two hundred thousand Californians

235
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: who have moved to other states, and the number one

236
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: reason they give is because the cost of living is

237
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: too high here.

238
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: So where did they go?

239
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: Arizona, Nevada, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, and many other places.

240
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 2: That's what a normal person does. They say, Okay, maybe

241
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: I can do remote work from this state. Maybe I

242
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: can work for a similar company in this state. Maybe

243
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: I can get a transfer to another company's office. That's

244
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: what normal people do. People who live in the street

245
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: for years on end are mentally ill and drug addicted,

246
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: and anybody who says otherwise, including Sean Huebler in the

247
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: New York Times, is flat out lying. Because they belong

248
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: to this progressive church that requires them to say put

249
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: that prayer in every story or every time they're on

250
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: television and they're asked to comment, they have to say

251
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: the prayer. There's certain mandatory prayers that progressess require their

252
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 2: members to say. There's one hundred and eighty seven thousand

253
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: people homeless in California, and two thirds of them were

254
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: living outdoors or in cars and tents, two thirds of them.

255
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: So that's about one hundred and twenty five thousand people

256
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: are living in the streets, and that's half of the

257
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: street homeless in the whole country. We're one of fifty states.

258
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: We have twelve percent of the normal population fifty percent

259
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: of the homeless population. That is one hundred percent. The

260
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: fault of the people in power. Other states and other

261
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: cities don't have this or don't have it.

262
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: To this extent.

263
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 2: It is Governor Newsom, it is Karen Bass, it was

264
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: Eric Garcetti, it is the five idiots on the La

265
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: County Supervisor Board. It's them, in all their wondrous diversity.

266
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: They have brought nothing but misery to the streets. Has

267
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the economy, nothing to do with housing,

268
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: nothing to do with the climate, nothing to do with

269
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 2: anything other than they allowed drug addicts and mental patients

270
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: to roam the streets, and more and more came from

271
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: all over the country. They wouldn't go to any other

272
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: state because no other state puts up with this. It's

273
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 2: all their fault. It's people who vote for progressive idiots,

274
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: just progressive jackasses, which is where it's run the state

275
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 2: and run the city and run the county. Now for

276
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: ten years, all their policies failed, all of it's a disaster.

277
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 2: They all ought to be taken out of office. They

278
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: all ought to be driven to the desert and left

279
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: out there without water or food or coming up.

280
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI AM

281
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 4: six forty.

282
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and

283
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: then after four o'clock it's John Cobelt's Show on demand

284
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: on the iHeart app. And maybe you've got an opinion

285
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: on Gavin Newsom suddenly deciding that homeless encampments should be

286
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 2: removed all over the state.

287
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 5: John, you know what I think is going to happen

288
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 5: next week, maybe the week after. All of a sudden,

289
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 5: Governor Newsom is going to be talking about cracking down

290
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 5: on the gas prices in California.

291
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's going to be next I'm waiting for that,

292
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: and that will make me very angry. It'll make me happy,

293
00:17:58,359 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: but angry if.

294
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: He does something. So far, he just puts out press releases.

295
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: I want to see him do something. He's got another

296
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: three billion dollars for all these towns. If he gives

297
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 2: him the three billion dollars, even if they don't pass

298
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 2: his ordinance, even if they don't enforce the ordinance, then

299
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 2: it's just a press release, which is his method of governing,

300
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: a press release to get a headline and make it

301
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: look like to the rest of the country, or at

302
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: least the ones that read The New York Times this morning,

303
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: it's like, Oh, it looks like he's much more moderate

304
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 2: than I thought. He's one of these can do activist guys.

305
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna have to do something about the

306
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 5: gas prices for that to resonate with anyone.

307
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the gas prices are so who's I

308
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: was telling somebody over the weekend they were there. Oh yeah,

309
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: they were texting me about about the gas and I

310
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 2: wrote back, It's like, it's I'm paying two dollars more,

311
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: two dollars more, and we know.

312
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 1: It's gonna go up to eight nine bucks. Yeah. I

313
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: know nobody's addressing that. Why is that? I don't know

314
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: who wants to pay those prices.

315
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't know nobody else in the media is covering

316
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 2: that story. And it's going to happen, and it's gonna

317
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: happen suddenly. It's going to be several big jumps over

318
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 2: the next year and a half, and then you're gonna

319
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: be looking at, you know, eight fifty gallon.

320
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't understand where this. I didn't know this was happening. Yeah,

321
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: how did this happen?

322
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

323
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Nobody?

324
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: Here?

325
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: Here is another one.

326
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: Do you remember when when when Gavin Newsom said that

327
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: he was going to streamline the uh, the the government

328
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 2: obstacles so that people could rebuild quickly in Pasadena and

329
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: an Altadena rather and Pacific Palisades. I remember him. He

330
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 2: was here, he was on television. Karen Bass, same thing. Okay, Well,

331
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: Jim Garretty of The National Review went to the La

332
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: County website that tracks how many rebuilding permits have been

333
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: issued in the Palisades and Altadena following the fires.

334
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: You want to take guests, how many permits?

335
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: How many permits you think of issued in three and

336
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 2: a half months both fires combined, twelve thousand homes destroyed.

337
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: Five at two, I suck at this sipe of things.

338
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: Deborah almost nailed it.

339
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 2: Oh it's seven, Oh my god, the seven permits. Seven permits,

340
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: So Garrity did the calculation. They're issuing one permit every

341
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 2: two weeks, so that's twenty six a year. That means

342
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: the Palisades in Altadena will be rebuilt in four hundred

343
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: and sixty one years. The spring of the year twenty

344
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: four eighty six, the rebuild will be done now. Newsom

345
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: had promised fire victims they would not get caught up

346
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: in the bureaucratic red tape, they would be able to

347
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: quickly rebuild their homes. Again, clearly he lied. He's good

348
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: for a SoundBite, good for a press release, no follow through.

349
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: We got seven and oh Karen Bass and god, she's

350
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: so smart. She promised the neighborhoods would be rebuilt at

351
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 2: lightning speed. Lightning speed, quickly rebuild seven permits in fourteen weeks.

352
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: Seven. You do have a better chance of winning like

353
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 1: a million dollars in the lottery.

354
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 2: Uh. You know who else got in on this, JP?

355
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 2: The CEO of JP Morgan Jamie Diamond. He is one

356
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: of the giants of Wall Street Finance, and he was

357
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 2: on with Alex Michaelson from Fox eleven and Uh. Alex

358
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 2: asked Diamond, what can government learn from business? And Jamie

359
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: Dimon address the Palisade situation.

360
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: What lessons do you think the state could learn my business.

361
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 6: I changed the name of red tape to blue tape

362
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 6: because as the Democrat who seem to want more and

363
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 6: more regulations, we need good regulations. We need good food,

364
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: we need good financial assistem we need good it's just

365
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 6: not more, more and more. And you see it in

366
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 6: everything permitting and licensing, and there are lessons to be learned.

367
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 6: And whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you should be saying,

368
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 6: I want an efficient government, even the palace age. If

369
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 6: you want to get this building you need, I would

370
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 6: have a Palisades rebuilding building with everyone in the room literally,

371
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: I get right here. I have sanitation, fire, police, roads, insurance, local, state, federal.

372
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: Government in the room.

373
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 6: Would charge one of the problems because it's a huge

374
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 6: management problem. And you know government doesn't put you top

375
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 6: people can run projects into management. There's too often politicians

376
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 6: who were academics who've never run anything.

377
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: Why don't they have a building in the Palisades where

378
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 2: all the residents can go and get all the permits

379
00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 2: approved that they need quickly. Why don't they have one

380
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: or two or three in Altadena. Why don't they I

381
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 2: have enough friends who are involved in this, and it's

382
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: a mess. So Karen Bass promised lightning speed. Governor k

383
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 2: Newsom promised they would quickly rebuild. It's seven permits in

384
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 2: fourteen weeks, and it's going to take four hundred and

385
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: sixty one years at this rate. And you know that's

386
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 2: it sounds like a joke. But do you think it's

387
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 2: gonna suddenly go quicker? Why would it go quicker? Because

388
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 2: all the urgency usually happens coming right out of the fire. Right,

389
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 2: everybody's really upset. It's like, oh my god, this is

390
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: a tragedy, this is terrible. Look at all the people suffering.

391
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 2: We got to help, We got to make this better.

392
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: And then after a while, the urgency fades and it's

393
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 2: back to the normal rhythm. Well we're already back to

394
00:23:54,119 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 2: the normal rhythm. More than twelve thousand were damaged or

395
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: destroyed by the wildfires, between homes and businesses in both

396
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 2: towns Palisades and Altadema. National Review reporter Audrey Fahlberg said

397
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 2: these neighborhoods look more like the wreckage from a nuclear blast,

398
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: and it's exacerbated by onerous permitting, fireproofing rebuilding acquirements to

399
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 2: comply with California's building code. So apparently the building code

400
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 2: is so complicated that nobody can rebuild or nobody can

401
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: approve the rebuilds for all the employees we have. Where

402
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: is like the task force the emergency supply of bureaucrats

403
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: that Newsome should have sent down here?

404
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: Shouldn't there?

405
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of extra bureaucrats who do nothing.

406
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 2: They sit around all day until it's lunchtime, and then

407
00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: they go home. Where do you go? Why aren't they?

408
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: Why is Karen Bass so bad at her job? What

409
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 2: does she do when she gets up, when she gets

410
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: up in the morning, Why is she so bad? And

411
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 2: how did she get like fifty five percent of the

412
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 2: city to vote for someone who is so bad? Seven permits?

413
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: What does Gavin Newsom do all day? Looks at the

414
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: latest hot button issue that he's trailing in the polls

415
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 2: over and he issues a phony press release making grandiose

416
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: promises which he never falls through from. When we come back,

417
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 2: Bass is doing very badly in the latest poll, which

418
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 2: actually warms my heart. I'm shocked that there's anybody supporting her.

419
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 2: I really don't understand why a single living human could

420
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: look at her and say, oh, good job.

421
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 4: Karen. You're listening to on Cobelts on demand from KFI

422
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 4: Am six.

423
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: We are on from one until four and then after

424
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobot Show on demand on the iHeart app.

425
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: We are going to have Alex Stone coming on just

426
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: after Debors two o'clock news because we are on the

427
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 2: eve of yet another momentous occasion in the Menendez brothers case.

428
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: They are finally going to get their re sentencing hearing.

429
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 2: You may think it already happened. No, it hasn't happened yet.

430
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 2: So we're going to have that going on this week

431
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and Alex will tell us all about

432
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: it now. I mentioned that Karen Bass lied when she

433
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: said that the people in Altadena, I'm sorry, and the

434
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 2: people in the Palisades are going to be able to

435
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: rebuild in at lightning speed, because if you combine the

436
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: Palisades and Altadena, there's only been seven building permits issued,

437
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: seven building permits in fourteen weeks, which means at this rate,

438
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: Palisades and Altadena will be rebuilt in four hundred and

439
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 2: sixty one years. Yes to Karen Bass and she has

440
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: such a great intellect that that is lightning speed. Meanwhile,

441
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 2: her popularity has plummeted Mark de Camillo as director of

442
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 2: the Institute of Government Studies at Berkeley. Their poll co

443
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 2: sponsored by the La Times. So the La Times did

444
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: a big story today about it, and her approval rating

445
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 2: now is down to thirty two percent. Fifty percent of

446
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: LA voters perceive her negatively, thirty two positively. So it's

447
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 2: fifty to thirty two eighteen percent. Apparently you don't know

448
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: who's is, which I believe. Apparently she loses all demographics

449
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 2: with the exception of black voters and senior citizens. So

450
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 2: I senile people apparently, I mean, I, you know, there's

451
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: always a bit of racial solidarity among people.

452
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: But the older people.

453
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: How about the older people who got chased out of

454
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 2: their homes in the Palisades, Maybe they have a different opinion. Jeez, Statewide,

455
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: she's got Why did they do a state wide poll too?

456
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: Only nineteen percent give her any approval. People outside of

457
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: La City find she's a big failure more so than

458
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: the people inside La City. Why would that be? They

459
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: also surveyed how people feel about Kamala Harris, fifty percent

460
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: have a positive image fifty The hell is going on there?

461
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 2: There are actually people who have a positive image of

462
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and Karen Bass at the same time. What

463
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: does it take for you to say maybe they stink?

464
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: Like?

465
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: What do you have to see before you sour on

466
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: these two? I really don't understand. It is so blatantly

467
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: obvious what am I seeing and almost everyone I know sees?

468
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: And yet here we have half the state's little supporting

469
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: Kamala Wait to be governor. You realize, you know, she

470
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 2: starts with fifty percent approving her.

471
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: Oh, that's going to help.

472
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: And I mentioned before about the bias in the New

473
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: York Times story Sean Hubler blaming the street homelessness here

474
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: on the housing shortage and the temperate climate and not

475
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: mentioning the out of control mental illness and drug addiction

476
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: in the street. Well, uh Sema Mata is a woman

477
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: who writes for the La Times, and she did the poll,

478
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 2: and she did a paragraph or two about the uh

479
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: up and down nature of Harris's popularity. When she became

480
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 2: a senator, people saw her grilling Supreme Court nominees. Her

481
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: approval rating went up and then she ran for president

482
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: badly in twenty twenty, approval ratings go down. Then she

483
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: went up a little bit early, and the Biden administration

484
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: then went down again when she was assigned intractable issues

485
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: such as the flow of immigrants fleeing Central America.

486
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: And it Seemen.

487
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: Mata claimed that Mark de Camillo, the head of the

488
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 2: Berkeley poll, said that he was assigned intractable issues.

489
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: And did he say that or this?

490
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: Assuming Sema made his immigration was not an intractable issue,

491
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: why would you write that this story was written today

492
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: assigned intractable issues such as the flow of the legal

493
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: immigrants fing So I think Trump solved that in an hour. Intractable.

494
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: It was very tractable. You close the border, you don't

495
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: let everybody come across.

496
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 1: Period.

497
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: What do you mean intractable? She was added for what

498
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: three three and a half years. I got nowhere. Trump

499
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: about an hour, made some deal with Mexico, paid them off.

500
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: We started arresting and deporting people, and the flow is

501
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: now down to almost nothing. He knocked off like like

502
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: ninety eight percent of the flow. And here on May

503
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 2: the twelfth, the La Times is still informing its readers

504
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: that kon La Harris had an intractable situation. It was intractable.

505
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 2: They didn't want to do it. They wanted a stampede.

506
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 2: The Biden administration wanted a stampede because all the little weasels,

507
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: all progressive little wieners that surrounded the corpse.

508
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: This was this is what this was their religious belief.

509
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 2: That America was uh was racist, it was illegitimate. We

510
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: stole the land from the Native Americans. We built our

511
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: country on slavery, and we have no right to a border.

512
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: We have no right to a country. We have no

513
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 2: right uh to capitalism. Uh, we have to we have

514
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: to kind of dilute the population with poor people, extremely

515
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 2: poor people. That was their religious belief. And so for

516
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 2: three and a half years they got their way, another

517
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: great experiment.

518
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: Huh right, the truth. That was the that's the truth.

519
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: And then you know, eventually everybody gets amnesty and they

520
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: become democratic voters.

521
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: That was the plan.

522
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: Intractable issues. God, they lie, they lie, they lie. That's

523
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: all they do. That isn't Bass and Newsom lying, it's

524
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 2: the La Times and New York Times lying or amplifying

525
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: Bass and Newsom's lies. That's all they do. Well, that's

526
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: why you come here because we don't put up with

527
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: this crap. All right, Alex Stone coming up and he's

528

529
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,200
