1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,800 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 2: I am six forty. 3 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: Welcome boy, We're we're hot, we're smooth, We're up and 5 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: running here. Thank you. I really need an attendant. You're 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: a good attendant. 7 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: By the way. 8 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: You do help out quite a bit. I know you're 9 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: not my secretary, but you do help me a lot. 10 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: All right, Welcome everybody. We have such a good show 11 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: for you today because this is this is the Democratic 12 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: that we are going to investigate what the perverts and 13 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: predators are doing up in Sacramento. And I don't mean 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 1: that just as a gratuitous insult. I don't mean it 15 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: as hyperbole. But the perverts and the predators up in Sacramento, 16 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: they're also known as the Democratic Assembly. They have really 17 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: stepped in at this time. They are so hell bent 18 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: on allowing criminals to run that they've decided to turn 19 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: sixteen and seventeen year olds basically into sacks of meat 20 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: and allow them to be sold for sex on the 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: streets of California. And I'm not exaggerating in the least. 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: If you heard our show over the last couple of days, 23 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: this has been building there is a bill written by 24 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: a Democrat, mind you, a Democratic assembly woman, a prosecutor, Maggie, 25 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: Maggie Crow, and Maggie Crow has this obvious common sense 26 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: goal with this legislation. There's a loophole in the law 27 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: that you can buy a sixteen or a seventeen year 28 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: old for sex. And it's not really a crime. It's 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: a misdemeanor. But misdemeanors are never enforced, and there's generally 30 00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: no real penalties. And the idea that, well, the idea 31 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: that this is on the books, that sixteen and seventeen 32 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: year olds can be bought and sold for sex, is astounding. 33 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: And we had Carl Demayo on yesterday you may have 34 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: heard in the Republican from San Diego, and he says, 35 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: out of the fifty states, we stand alone. We are 36 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: number one. Forty nine other states make that a felony. 37 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: In California, you have Democrats fighting bitterly for this viciously 38 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 1: big uproar going on in the Assembly yesterday, a lot 39 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: of anger, and the anger was towards, in part, Maggie 40 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: Crell for writing the bill and embarrassing all these pervert Democrats. 41 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: I don't know how many of I don't know how many. 42 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: Of them are pedophiles. I don't know how many of 43 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: our predators. But that's the three piece caucus perverts, predators, 44 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: and pedophiles. 45 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: And you got fifty the five Democrats. 46 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 1: Who don't want to make it a felony, an automatic felony, 47 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: like the other forty United States in the Union, and. 48 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 2: I would guess probably most countries too. 49 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: Now, in the next segment, because it's a bit longish 50 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,239 Speaker 1: and I want you to hear the whole thing, we're 51 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: going to play you a news report from Ashley Zavala Uh. 52 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: She is a great reporter for krc A Channel three 53 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 1: in Sacramento, and she covers the legislature a lot, and 54 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: we are we're gonna play her report as she's chronicling 55 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: what went on yesterday in the Assembly. There are a 56 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: lot of Democrats who are angry. Governor Newsom is upset. 57 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: Governor Newsom told them don't do this. He even threw 58 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: in a full stop into his official statement. If you're 59 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: you're you're buying and selling teenagers on the street for sex, 60 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: that's a felony. 61 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: That's a bad thing. 62 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: And I you know, if you're at the point where 63 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: you have to say that out loud, and you have 64 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: to try to explain it. It means the person you're 65 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: talking to must be a pervert, a pedophile, or a predator. 66 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: There should be no need to have to explain this. 67 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: This is not an argument here, This is a statement 68 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 1: of fact. If you're buying and selling teenagers on the street, 69 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: that's a felony. You go to prison, directly to prison. Newsom, 70 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: listen to all the Democrats who support him, the lieutenant governor, 71 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: a lady Canolacus who's also running for governor, the San 72 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: Jose mayor, Matt Mahon, and Christine Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's daughter 73 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: who's expected to run for that congressional seat when Nancy 74 00:04:54,200 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: Pelosi finally retires, and she's been writing on Twitter trying 75 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: to convince other Democrats that this is a really bad 76 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: road to take, especially in this climate, in this environment. 77 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: And on the Democrat side, Scott Weener is leading the charge. Yes, 78 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: that weirdo, and he says the Republicans are looking for 79 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: any opportunity to try to paint Democrats as somehow soft 80 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: on crime or not caring about crime, and it's so inaccurate, right, 81 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 1: It's the Democrats don't want to make it a felony 82 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: to sell sixteen year old girls on the streets for sex, 83 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: and he thinks they're being painted unfairly. Of course, Weiener 84 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: wrote a bill in twenty twenty two that decriminalized loitering 85 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: with the intent to commit prostitution. Basically, he was legalizing 86 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: street prostitution. There's a lot of sick, weirdos up in Sacramento. 87 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 1: He's out of San Francisco, so there's nothing you can 88 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: do about that. But this is as nutty as I've 89 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,679 Speaker 1: ever seen anything. And Newsome is begging them to stop, 90 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: and Carlacus, the Lieutenant governors, begging him. Christine Pelosi, Nancy's daughter, 91 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: is begging them and they won't. When we come back, 92 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: we'll give you a good flavor of what's going on 93 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: in Sacramento. This is perversely enjoyable because they are so stupid. 94 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: It's so weird. You must really have an interest in 95 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: teenagers for sex to be this defiant. We'll play that next, 96 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: the report from Channel three and Sacramento. 97 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A 98 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 3: six forty. 99 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go back to Sacramento to meet with the perverts, pedophiles, 100 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: and predators, Tucus. They are insisting that you should be 101 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: able to buy sixteen and seventeen year old girls and 102 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: boys on the street for sex. No felony, that's what 103 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 1: they're insisting. Ashley Zavala from KCRA Channel three and Sacramento 104 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: has a great report on this. 105 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: Listen. 106 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 4: Not only did Democrats block this latest attempt to ramp 107 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 4: up the penalties for the buyers in the child sex 108 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: trafficking industry, they also sidelines sidelined to Sacramento's Democratic Assembly 109 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 4: member Maggie Crell, who has made this her life's work. 110 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 4: Democratic leaders promise to keep the conversation going, but they're 111 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 4: leaving Krell, an expert, out of it. They criticized not 112 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 4: just Krell, but also Governor Gavin Newsom. It was Denham 113 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 4: Day in the State Assembly, the annual event when lawmakers 114 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 4: can be seen in jeans and Denham jackets for Sexual 115 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 4: Assault Awareness Month, but some Democrats arrived at the Assembly 116 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 4: floor Thursday hoping to avoid that talk, scrambling to down 117 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: a Republican push to vote on a proposed automatic felony 118 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: for the buyers or sex solicitors of sixteen and seventeen 119 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 4: year olds. After an hour of closed door planning, Democrats 120 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 4: emerged with a deal that stripped Sacramento's Democratic Assembly member 121 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 4: Maggie Crell from her own bill that tries to crack 122 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 4: down on the consumers of the child sex trafficking industry. 123 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 4: She originally proposed the automatic felony for the older teens 124 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 4: this year, noting state laws are inconsistent for the trafficker 125 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 4: and the buyer, but that piece blocked by the Public 126 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 4: Safety Committee earlier this week. 127 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 5: I want one thing out of this. I don't care 128 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 5: whether my name's on the bill, but I would happily 129 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 5: support it if it includes protections for sixteen and seventeen 130 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 5: year olds. If it treats them as victims, because they 131 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 5: truly are. If it recognizes the fights that survivors have 132 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 5: led for decades, for the basic understanding that if you're 133 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 5: seventeen years old on a street corner and an old 134 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 5: man comes up in hiches, it. 135 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 2: Is you for sex. 136 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 6: That's rape. 137 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 5: That should be treated as a felony. 138 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 4: Crell has spent two decades investigating human trafficking and was 139 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: a prosecutor for the California Department of Justice before being 140 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 4: elected to the Assembly last November. 141 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 5: She was facing a lot of the trauma. 142 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 4: She was a voice in kse are three's Escaping the 143 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 4: Blade documentary about sex trafficking and Sacramento.

I agree 167 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 6: wholeheartedly with the governor's statement to the extent that it 168 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 6: already states existing state law. 169 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 4: Republicans frustrated. 170 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 8: We don't need more time, We don't need to study 171 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 8: this anymore. 172 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: We need to make it just and. 173 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 3: Change the law. 174 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 8: That's what we push to do today, and unfortunately, the 175 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 8: majority of the Democrats decided to continue this disparity. When 176 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 8: it comes to sixteen and seventeen year olds, they are 177 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 8: deserving of justice and protection. 178 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 4: Note during today's debate, the leader of the State Assembly, 179 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 4: Speaker Robert Reeves, sat silently from his desk. He did 180 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: not rise to speak. His office handed us this written 181 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: statement that says, in part, protecting children and standing up 182 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 4: for victims are among his top priorities this year. 183 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 9: So I think for those of us watching all of 184 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 9: this unfold, even as well as you explain it, it 185 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 9: is very hard to make sense of any of this. 186 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 9: But I guess the question is what happens now that 187 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 9: we have Assembly Member Schultz carrying the bill. It is 188 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 9: no longer Assembly Member Crawl's bill. 189 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 190 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 4: Well, I mean there is a lot of time for 191 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 4: this breather because this was an explosive, abrupt moment. None 192 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: of this was planned on the Assembly floor. 193 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 2: But Schultz tells. 194 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 4: Us that with this bill, it will keep the conversation going, 195 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 4: and he's vowing to get a proposal put together on 196 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 4: this issue that they'll send to the governor by the 197 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 4: end of the summer. He says he still wants to 198 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 4: have hearings on the issue this fall, as he told 199 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 4: us earlier this week. The bill now is sitting in 200 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 4: the Assembly Appropriations Committee and could be changed again in 201 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: its next hearing, But we'll just have to see. And 202 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 4: this bill, as long as it's still alive, still has 203 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 4: many hurdles, many committees that could change it, and so 204 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,239 Speaker 4: that means that this debate is going to be ongoing 205 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 4: until potentially that felony is put in there. 206 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 10: But we'll see. 207 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 9: And we really should point out the urgency with this 208 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 9: that children sixteen and seventeen years old are being victimized 209 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 9: every day, that that is happening, and right here and 210 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 9: right here in Sacramento. Yep, Ashley, thank you, thank you. 211 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: Well. 212 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: Who do you think the customers are who are buying 213 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: the sixteen and seventeen year olds. Maybe it's some of 214 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 1: the politicians in Sacramento. Maybe it's their staff members. Sacramento 215 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: is a government town. If there's a lot of children 216 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: being bought for sex on the streets, who do you 217 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: think is doing the buying. 218 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: It's people working for the government. That's a huge percentage 219 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: of Sacramento. 220 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: The government workers, the politicians, to the staff members, the lobbyists, 221 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: they're the ones buying the sixteen year old girls. 222 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 2: On a Friday night. 223 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: You heard one of the pimps who's selling the girls said, 224 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,200 Speaker 1: this bill out a pass. The only way to stop 225 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: sex sales in the streets is to go after the buyers. 226 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 1: Even the pips says that everyone from him to Gavin Newsom. 227 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 2: Now listen to this. 228 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,839 Speaker 1: You may have heard there that Maggie Crell, who's again 229 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: a Democrat, they're eating their own. Crell has spent two 230 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: decades investigating human trafficking. She was a prosecutor, she got 231 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: elected to the Assembly, and she's trying to get an 232 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 1: automatic felony now for those who buy were solicit sixteen 233 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: and seventeen year olds boys and girls. Maggie Crell, she 234 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: was taken off the bill. You know who's taken over. 235 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed it. It was so 236 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: one named Nick Schultz. Nick Schultz is from Burbank here. Yes, 237 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: you people in Burbank elected the guy who is now 238 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: the head of the Perverts, Pedophiles and Predators Caucus. He's 239 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: the one now blocking Maggie crew from getting this passed. 240 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,239 Speaker 1: He wants to continue the conversation. There is no conversation. 241 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: Buying teenagers on the streets for sex is bad. No 242 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: further conversation. Felony, felony in every other state in the Union, 243 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: looking up this Nick Schultz character. He's the chairman of 244 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: the Public Safety Committee. He took Maggie Crell's bill away 245 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: from her. Now he's got it and he wants to 246 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: rewrite it sometime this summer, after having the conversation. 247 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 2: We come back. 248 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: I'll give you a background. I mean, this guy represents 249 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: this town right here. What the hell where do you 250 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: peep doing.

How are they? 259 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: They seem to be the only fifty five politicians in 260 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: the entire country who are for this. I wish I 261 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: was making this up. This is not shtick. This is 262 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: not an act here, this is the reality.

And 272 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: we are continuing to cover the bizarre happenings in Sacramento. 273 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: The Democratic Assembly members, fifty five of them, voted down 274 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: the idea that if you're buying sixteen and seventeen year 275 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: olds on the street for sex. You should be charged 276 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: with a felony. Yes, they're actually against it being a 277 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: felony to buy sixteen and seventeen year olds for sex 278 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: in the streets. And they have gotten very angry with 279 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: one of their own members, a relatively new member, Maggie Krell. 280 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: She's from Sacramento and she is a Democrat, and she's 281 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: a former prosecutor who spent twenty years investigating human trafficking. 282 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: And she said, no, you have to you have to 283 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: put the customers in prison for buying the girls and boys. 284 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 2: That's part of this. 285 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: Again, we're the only state in the Union where it's 286 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 1: not a felony. So they're trying to punish Maggie Crow. 287 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: And they've taken her bill away, taken her name off 288 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: the bill, and now Nick. 289 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 2: Schultz is going to rewrite it. 290 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: Nick Schultz is the chair of the Public Safety Committee, 291 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: which we are officially renaming the Perverts, Pedophiles, and Predators Committee. 292 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: All right, so Nick Schultz is leading the Perverts, Pedophiles 293 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: and Predators Committee, and as such, we are going to 294 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: examine his background. And I don't know this guy. He 295 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: just got elected in November. But it turns out he 296 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: was the mayor of Burbank up until last year. 297 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 2: I never knew who the mayor of Burbank was. 298 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: And before that he was vice mayor and a member 299 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: of the city council. And this is great. Somebody has 300 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: already gotten on his Wikipedia page and written. As chair 301 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: of the Public Safety Committee, he has objected to increased 302 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: punishments for sex trafficking children, saying that doing so would 303 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: not be equitable. Not be equitable? What does that mean? 304 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: This is the guy that you elected Burbank to be 305 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: your assembly. Is this guy representing your values? Those of 306 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: you with sixteen year old girls in Burbank. If somebody 307 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: bought your daughter off the street, Nick Schultz doesn't think 308 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: it's a crime. He's very young. He's only thirty six. 309 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: He got a law degree at the Oregon School of 310 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: Law and then he got involved in politics. 311 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 2: And I don't know. 312 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: How.

No one could actually take the tight jeans off, 483 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 10: basically saying that she wasn't that she. 484 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: Wasn't assaulted because there's no way, no way a guy 485 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: could pull them off. 486 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 10: Yes, if you're wearing tight jeans, she must have. 487 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 2: She must have helped him. 488 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: Yes, So now they all wear tight jeans to the 489 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: Assembly one day a year, and it's on the day 490 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: they wanted to highlight sexual assault. 491 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 2: Is the day that. 492 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: They decided to give a free past to those who 493 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: want to buy sixteen year olds for sex. 494 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 10: Which makes no sense, right, I mean. 495 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: It, I don't. 496 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: Multiple sources told Channel three and Ashley Zavala and Sacramento 497 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: that several Democrats didn't want to acknowledge dNaM day publicly 498 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: because they want to avoid the sex trafficking conversation. Say 499 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: some of them had the self awareness that this looks 500 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: really bad. We are highlighting sexual Assault Awareness Month, but 501 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 1: we're giving free reign to perverts to have sex with 502 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: sixteen year old girls. I'm telling you, there has got 503 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: to be a huge flush of Sacramento. I can't think 504 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: that it could be more debates than it is. 505 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 2: Can it be? 506 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: This is the low point.
