1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 2: I am six forty. 3 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app, 4 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 3: and you can hear us on the ihart app streaming, 5 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 3: or you can hear us on the podcast which gets 6 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 3: released shortly after four o'clock, and then you could listen to. 7 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: Whatever you missed. Now Jeffrey Epstein. 8 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 3: Is well, you know what, there's a story today that 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 3: Epstein may have been an informant for the FBI and 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: that's why he had protection and got a very light 11 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: sentence back in the two thousands for money, was originally 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 3: arrested for having that harem of young girls. And then 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 3: today the House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer issued all 14 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 3: these subpoenis, including to the Trump's Attorney General Pam Bondi 15 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 3: and the Department of Justice. He wants the entire Jeffrey 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: Epstein file package and then US depositions from Bill and 17 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton and all these characters from the Obama and 18 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: Biden days like James Colemy and Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, 19 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 3: Merrick Garland and others. Let's go to Let's go to 20 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: Royal Oaks. ABC News legal analyst, How are you Royal? 21 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 1: I'm doing great, John, Yeah, your overview was terrific because 22 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: it points out that the whole Epstein thing is morphing 23 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: from oh, you know who was involved with these underage 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: women and who might have helped cover it up. Now 25 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: that's still be great if you find one of your 26 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: political enemies is guilty on those fronts, But now it's 27 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: morphing too. What about the prosecution from the presidency through 28 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: the Attorney General, through the various prosecutors. Were there deals 29 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: that were cut? You are there documents that will show 30 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: that James Commey and Robert Muller, the former FBI directors, 31 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: were on the deposition list. Do they have something interesting 32 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: to say? Of course Bill and Hillary Clinton will fight. 33 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: They'll say it's privile and you know we were at 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: the tip top, but we could be in for some 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: interesting court fights or any depositions. 36 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 3: So how do how do all these well most of 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 3: them are cabinet officials, but like Bill and Hillary, how 38 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 3: do they get around subpoenas from from a congressional committee. 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: Let's say they have stuff to hide or stuff they 40 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 3: don't want to talk about publicly. What what can they do? 41 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 3: Can can they can they legally drag this out forever 42 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: is there? Or would just take the Fifth Amendment on 43 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: all the questions. 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, So here's what happens. The House Committee votes to 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: issue the subpoenas. Subpoenas are out there, and of course 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: you call up the representatives of the Clintons and James 47 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: call me, will you accept this? We don't have to 48 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: chase you down the street. So you've cut a deal. 49 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Then the people whose depositions are scheduled to Clinton's whoever, 50 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: they are charged with contempt of court by the Congress 51 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: when they don't show up at their deposition because they've 52 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: filed written objections, and then one they're charged with contempt. 53 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: It's in the hands of a judge. So there, John 54 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: is a key question. You know, who appointed the judge. 55 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: If it's a Democrat president, you're probably going to get 56 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: a favorable rule to the Democrats and vice versa. But 57 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: that's the procedure. 58 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: There are no neutral judges anymore. Huh. 59 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: That's the problem. You know, you got a very the 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: most political animal on the planet appoint every single federal judge, 61 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: and of course you know they're going to appoint people 62 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: who you know, want to put a smile on the 63 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: face of the big guy who parted him there. 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: I didn't know if you saw this story. It's from 65 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 3: a gossip sheet right or online, but it said Epstein 66 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: may have been an FBI informant and that's why he 67 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 3: got a very light sentence back in around two thousand 68 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: and seven where he was, you know, he was accused 69 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: of being involved with with young girls and he got 70 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: basically house arrested on weekends. There's a two thousand and 71 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: eight internal file that's been leaked a Freedom of Information 72 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: Act lawsuit shows that Epstein was an FBI informant before 73 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 3: his sweetheart deal, and a special agent said Epstein has 74 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 3: also provided information to the FBI as agreed upon. He 75 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 3: wrote this in an internal cable, and case agent advised 76 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 3: that no federal prosecution will occur in this matter. So 77 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: does this explain Epstein's ability to last as long as 78 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 3: he did? 79 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: It sure does. And it ties right in with the 80 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: theme here of this morphing from the salacious to the legal. 81 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: Because here's what's going to happen. The people who are 82 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: asking questions of the Clintons and the rest are going 83 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: to focus on this issue. Was there a confidential informant 84 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: arrangement or not should it have been made public or 85 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: was it improperly hidden? And to the extent we went 86 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: easy on him, calling him an informant. Did we do 87 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: it to protect the names of some big dudes who 88 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: had been to Pedo Island? All of that is going 89 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: to be fair game. And of course nobody knows whose 90 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: ox is going to be Gordon terms of Republican or 91 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: Democrat names doing bad things. But yeah, we're heading down 92 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: kind of the dark road. 93 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: The US attorney at the time for the Southern District 94 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: of Florida it was Alex Acosta. He became Trump Labor 95 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: Labor Secretary and then resigned after the news came out 96 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 3: about his role in the Epstein deal. Acosta claimed he'd 97 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: been told to back off Epstein. I was told Epstein 98 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: quote belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone. 99 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: And when that came out, he's going to give ammunition. 100 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: He'll give ammunition to the Democrats who say this is 101 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: political that the reason Acosta's name was left off of 102 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: the list of a dozen witnesses having to give deposition 103 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: testimony is he's playing ball with the Trump folks. That 104 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: will be the allegation. 105 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 3: But there's definitely something more serious going on. It seems 106 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 3: that way just from the Trump administration's behavior where they 107 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: were bragging about how they were going to release every 108 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 3: last bit of the Epstein files and then suddenly all now, 109 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: there's really nothing here, and nobody believes that. Obviously, you 110 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 3: have people at all sides saying, oh, come on, yeah. 111 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, when there's this much smoke, there's probably some 112 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: fire under there. You never know until you take the 113 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: billows and blow it away, But yeah, chances are there's 114 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: something pretty juicy down there. 115 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,119 Speaker 2: Ask you something else. 116 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: We opened the show with Michael Monks doing a report 117 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 3: on ice showing up in the Westlake section of Los Angeles, 118 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 3: And have you familiar with the story ice? This morning 119 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: had a not an ice van, but a rented Penske 120 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: truck and they rolled into a home depot and the 121 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: driver said, Hey, I need workers, I need workers. And 122 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: when the workers came running, they rolled up the back 123 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 3: of the truck. All these ice agents came piling out, 124 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 3: and they arrested sixteen guys. Now, does that violate the 125 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 3: temporary restraining order that the District Court and the Court 126 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: of Appeals had. 127 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: In votes, So it sounds a little like it could 128 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: be entrapment, kind of like back in the day with 129 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: John Dolorian and cocaine. Yeah, it sounds like it, because 130 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: I think the gist to the order is Ice was 131 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: accused of going out there and just arresting willy nilly 132 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 1: without having probable cause that this person they're arresting actually 133 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: probably committed a crime of some kind, whether immigration or 134 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: non immigration related. And so now, to the extent, that's 135 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: the rule, and that's what's been winning in court. To 136 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: the extent this sort of gotcha maneuver violates that, I 137 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: can see the judguis of the order saying, you know, 138 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: you've violated the spirit of my order. On the other hand, 139 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: if they pull a judge that is maybe more favorable 140 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump's immigration procedures, might be a different conclusion. 141 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 3: But if the Trump administration does stuff like this, can 142 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: any judge or an appeals court stop them? Because the 143 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 3: you know, the all the agents were wearing masks, so 144 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 3: they're not going to be disciplined. The illegal aliens that 145 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: they captured, they're probably all gone and been deported. So 146 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: who would a judge go after And how could a 147 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: judge go after anybody? 148 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: And yeah, the analogy is, remember a few months ago. 149 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: Judge was really cranky over the fact that he said 150 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: the airplane shall not take this guy to El salvadorp Supermax. 151 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: And allegedly Trump's people ignored the oral statement from the 152 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: bench saying, oh, well, we'll wait till we get the 153 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: snall mail version of his order, which we're supposed to do. 154 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: And the judge got really angry at the Trump administration, 155 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: and they investigate. The judge holds hearings and has people 156 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: testify under oath, who told you to do this? Who 157 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: said stand out? Who said ignore the federal judge's order? 158 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: And so you get to the bottom of who did it, 159 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: and that person John goes to jail for contempt if 160 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: the judge feels that the conduct. 161 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: Was egregious enough, so they'd have to do a full 162 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 3: blown investigation and see who said disorder because it was tap. 163 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: Dancing and molasses.

And obviously some 337 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 3: of that is that's that's how that's how you get 338 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 3: Trump to cooperate, as you curry favor with him and 339 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 3: flatterman all that. I think a lot of people in 340 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 3: politics know this, But also I think it's that you know, 341 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 3: if I. 342 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 2: Was him, just standing. 343 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 3: On the outside, I wouldn't trust basketball, this Olympics, the 344 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 3: Olympic Games off. I wouldn't I don't think she's capable. Honestly, 345 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 3: think she's so far over her head. And all she 346 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 3: was was a legislator who liked the cited conference tables 347 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 3: and just talk talk about policy ideas or you know, 348 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 3: right nonsense legislation. I don't think she has any qualifications 349 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 3: or the brains or even the desire to help plan 350 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 3: for the Olympic Games. I read the other day that 351 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: they were supposed to have hundreds of bus shelters because 352 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: this was going to be the no car Olympics, and 353 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 3: I guess there was going to be some kind of 354 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:31,919 Speaker 3: Olympic bus service. They only built twenty three. You know, 355 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 3: it's really fascinating how all these left wing governments can't 356 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 3: build anything. It's like the Biden administration had billions of 357 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 3: dollars set aside to build electric charging stations around the 358 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 3: country and after three years they had only built eight. 359 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 3: But nothing can get built at all, just the basics. 360 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 3: Can't build a charging station, which isn't that complicated. Can't 361 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 3: build a bus shelter, and this is gonna be such 362 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 3: a huge such a huge crowd is gonna come. If 363 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 3: I were running things, I wouldn't trust her. Yeah, I'd 364 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 3: be I'd be kissing Trump's ass on all day and 365 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: all night and donating money to whatever he wants because 366 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 3: he can get things done. He can build stuff. I mean, 367 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 3: I could see the buildings he's built. I can't see 368 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 3: anything Karen Bass has ever built. I don't I can't 369 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 3: see anything she's ever organized, anything that she's ever run 370 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 3: like in the real world, in the physical world, she's 371 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 3: she's never done anything. We've seen what's happened with the 372 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 3: battles ades. There's still only a handful of permits that 373 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 3: have been that have been released, and somebody's got to 374 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: take control and clean up the city. 375 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: You got to clean up the homeless people. 376 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 3: They got to go, and the garbage and the tents, 377 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 3: and you know, all the feces and the needles, everything 378 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: no way, and the public, you know, they could stop 379 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 3: scrowling if you get just a tiny bit of pride 380 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 3: in the in the city, in the region. Can't have 381 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 3: the world, whole world come here and see all the 382 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 3: filth that we've agreed to live in. There is a 383 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 3: street on the west side. I went to the car 384 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 3: wash the other day. By the way, there are many 385 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 3: fewer car. 386 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 2: Wash workers these days. 387 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 3: It took twice as long to get the car lead 388 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 3: and which is fine. And but there's there's like a 389 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 3: back street. It's a street that's it's called Cottoner and 390 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 3: it's uh, I guess this is Westwood and it's there's 391 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 3: a light industrial area. It's all in industry buildings, no 392 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: homes on Cottoner. And that's on the right side of 393 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 3: the street. On the left side of the street is 394 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: the four or five. Oh my god, it's the third 395 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 3: Circle of Hell. You would not believe the living conditions 396 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 3: people living in the streets an intense, so much garbage. 397 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: There was one huge mound of garbage and I wanted 398 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 3: to take a picture of it, except there's no way 399 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: I was stopping because all these wild eyed, emaciated, zombie 400 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: drug addicts are stumbling around, males females. And I think 401 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 3: that's Katie Roslavsky's district. 402 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 2: I think it's not.

There's so much 414 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 3: busted up, broken debris. The people living on that block 415 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 3: and in the tents have such a frightening, hollowed eyed 416 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 3: look on their face.

Because this garbage 433 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 3: has been around for like seven to ten years now. 434 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: I mean, that's the car wash I've gone to for 435 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 3: a long time, and it's always been bad, but somehow 436 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 3: it got significantly worse since the last car watch. I 437 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 3: really I jammed in my brakes briefly, and I thought, no, 438 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: I can't do it because I wanted to take a 439 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 3: photo and I wanted to put it out up, put 440 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 3: it up on Twitter. But good lord, why why do 441 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 3: we have to live? And then that's what infuriates me. 442 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 2: I listened to you. Your news infuriates one. 443 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 8: It infuriates me that I have to read it. 444 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 3: And I'm hearing clips about our screaming or illegal aliens, 445 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 3: like stop, you lost that battle. The illegal aliens are 446 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 3: going They got thirteen That ICE has thirteen times the 447 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 3: money they did last year, and that's going to be 448 00:24:59,000 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: every year. 449 00:24:59,320 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 6: Every year. 450 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 3: It's going to thirteen times the money you got three 451 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 3: and a half years of Trump unless he drops dead, 452 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 3: and then jad Vans is gonna do the same thing. 453 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 2: So there's nothing you can do. Just think. 454 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 3: You know, By the way, what ends the argument for 455 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 3: me is we're paying thirty five billion in state tax 456 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 3: money for legal aliens. Well, I'm sick of that. Since 457 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 3: you can't keep the streets clean, you can't pave them. 458 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 3: So since you don't spend the money on four on 459 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: building mental health treatment centers and drug treatment centers, it's 460 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 3: thirty five billion on illegal aliens. It's you know what, 461 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 3: I don't care if Trump violates every single court order 462 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 3: from now to doomsday. Go ahead, violate all the orders. 463 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 3: Enough of you people, you had ten years, you blew it. 464 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 3: I'm with like the Studio City people who pepper sprayed 465 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 3: that guy, or the n the Studio City homeowner who 466 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 3: shot the intruder. So we're gonna have to do this ourselves. 467 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 3: We're gonna have to carry guns, we're gonna have to 468 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 3: carry pepper spray. We're gonna have to violate toward orders. 469 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 5: You know. 470 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 8: I was talking to a small business owner whose business 471 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,199 Speaker 8: was burglarized, and I told him, I said, you know, 472 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 8: next time, if somebody comes in while you're there, Fortunately 473 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 8: it happened when he wasn't. I said, you got to 474 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 8: shoot them. And he said, but I'm the one that's 475 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 8: going to go to jail because he has to prove 476 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 8: that his life is in danger. And I feel that 477 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 8: if somebody breaks into my home that already tells me 478 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 8: that my life could be in danger. I'm not going 479 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 8: to sit there and prove it. Why do I have 480 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 8: to prove it. 481 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 2: Nobody's going to convict you, not in La And it's better. 482 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 2: It's better than getting killed. Of course. 483 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 3: You know, you're just gonna have to go through a 484 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 3: trial and win, and it beats getting killed. And this 485 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 3: is how we have to think. Because Karen Bass. 486 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 487 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 4: six forty. 488 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 3: Moistline for Friday eight seven seven Moist Steady six eight 489 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 3: seven seven Moist staty six are usually talkback feature on 490 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 3: the iHeartRadio app. After Debor's News at three o'clock, we're 491 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 3: gonna have John Mann on. He and his law firm 492 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 3: have been fighting sex abuse cases against all the big institutions, 493 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 3: whether it's a Catholic church, Los Angeles school district in 494 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 3: La County. You may remember, the county agreed in April 495 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 3: to a four billion dollars settlement seven thousand cases of 496 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 3: sexual abuse inside the county's juvenile detention facilities and foster 497 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 3: homes going back decades. Four billion dollars they've got to 498 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 3: pay out. But Manly is saying what I thought about frequently, well, 499 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 3: like who did it? He said, this is essentially Epstein Island, 500 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 3: supervised by the LA County Probation officers.
