1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 2: I am six forty.

3
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,319
Speaker 1: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio

4
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: app John Cobelt Show and Ron from three to six,

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: and I neglected to mention that we're carrying the Trump

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 1: State of the Union speech tonight at six o'clock, so

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 1: right after our show. Trump is supposed supposed to be

8
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: a long speech.

9
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: And I've been doing that for you. I've been saying,

10
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: I know, yeah, I think we're covered. You do a

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,319
Speaker 2: lot of things that I miss. I know, all right,

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 2: but thank you. You're welcome, all right.

13
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: So that's why you have to listen to Debora, because

14
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: she has more useful information than I do. We're going

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: to have now Richie Greenberg on, who is a journalist, writer,

16
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: commentator up in San Francisco. He's always comes on with

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: us with the latest San Francisco insanity. And you may

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: have heard this in the news. There is a woman

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: who's been now arrested facing charges, Gwendolyn Westbrook. She used

20
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: to run the United Council of Human Services. She left

21
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: that job in twenty twenty three. People started figuring out

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: that she was stealing money, and now the DA has

23
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: made it official, saying she took at least a million

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: two in public funds. The thing is, her accusations of

25
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: her stealing money go all the way back to nineteen

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: ninety seven, and she was still working and still stealing

27
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: tax money. And of course it's one of these fake

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: nonprofit homeless fraud schemes. So let's get Richie Greenberg on

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: to talk about her.

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 3: Richie, Hey, thanks for having me on, John. It's a

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: different time of the day, and congratulations on getting a

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: move to the late afternoon.

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Well we're back in the home we'd been

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: in for a long time. Tell me how this woman

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: gets to do this and gets caught a number of times.

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: She was even ten years ago running running blackjack tables,

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, at one of these nonprofits.

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: How the hell did she survive this for twenty nine years.

39
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: Well, you know, if people don't open their mouths, if

40
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: you don't have a whistled lower, and if you do

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: not have a city that the mayors or the supervisors,

42
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 3: the auditors just look the other way or don't even

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: have the mechanism to audit in the first place. And

44
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 3: that's what's happened here. So for all of these years,

45
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: the city has given contracts, many of them are no

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 3: bid contracts, where we come to learn happen all over

47
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: the country, right, so this is exactly what happened. She

48
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 3: was the former CEO of United Council of Human Services

49
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: UCHS and it was a nonprofit organization that provided homelessness

50
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 3: services to homelessness and limanco individuals in the more impoverished

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: areas and neighborhoods of Sent Francisco. They did things like

52
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: one super kitchen and they received a lot of money,

53
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: millions of dollars in public funds and city contracts even

54
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: during COVID the pandemic to manage like the temporary shelters.

55
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: And that's why we see this still to date, this

56
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 3: this homelessness industrial complex as they call it, and money

57
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: goes in, there's no audit, nothing to show where those

58
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: funds go missing, as we have learned, have happened here

59
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: in California. You know, with Newsom and Sacramento, you turn

60
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 3: a surplus into a deficit and no one can explain

61
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: where the money went.

62
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: And this has been going on for decades and there's

63
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: nobody in government interested at any level. All the mayors,

64
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: all the city council people, all the controllers, all the auditors,

65
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: just the whole.

66
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Everything, everybody.

67
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know it would seem that way. And especially

68
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 3: when you have an individual who is driving around in

69
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: a in a new tesla with jewelry the trump full.

70
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: There's some quotes here that she was driving around in

71
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: a trunk full of high priced jewelry, provided vehicles to

72
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: family members, close associates. She would regularly visit Louis Vatan

73
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: and Nieman Marcus and own a shopping spree. You know,

74
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 3: things like that you you would think would would send

75
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 3: up multiple red flags, the biggest red flags you could

76
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: ever think. And but you look at what the charges

77
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 3: are against her. Now what finally they have dragged her in.

78
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: They have charged her with specific accusations like unauthorized self

79
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: payments and a hidden double salaries scheme where she was

80
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: drawing salaries from two drifferent sources, improper undocumented cash withdrawals,

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 3: reimbursements that were diverting funds to her personal use, enbezzlement

82
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 3: of at least ninety one thousand dollars and so the

83
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: charges are misappropriation of public funds, three counts of grand theft,

84
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: presenting a false invoice for payment, filing false tax returns

85
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: for four years and on and on, and the organization

86
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: had its attackings of status was suspended by the state

87
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 3: Attorney General.

88
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm just blown away that she was this successful at

89
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: stealing that much money for this long. She's seventy one

90
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: years old now, Gwendolen West seventy one, and her whole

91
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: career working in nonprofits has been about stealing money or

92
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: doing illegal things. What do you know anything about the

93
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: gambling the blackjack tables he was running in Richmond ten

94
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: years ago.

95
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard about that, but I'm that's across the Bay.

96
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 3: It's it's a different city, and I didn't pay too

97
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: much attention to other just to hear things like that.

98
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: But it's it's just ludicrous. It's absolutely ludicrous, and you know,

99
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: I to bring it up to date. We have a

100
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: new mayor, Mayor Lourie, who's been in office a little

101
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: over one year, and one of the things that he

102
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: campaigned on was implementing reforms and where he had promised

103
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: there was going to be key oversight commissions and key

104
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: bodies the Essex Commission to fully fund his Essex Crusade,

105
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: to bring in on a weekly basis and talk to

106
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 3: his his assembled people in city Hall that were going

107
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 3: to be holding different individuals and different organizations, different departments

108
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: and agencies accountable to make sure that we wouldn't have

109
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 3: things like this. And so there's a lot of critics

110
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 3: here in the city that are saying, you know, Lourie, yeah,

111
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 3: this happened before. A lot of this happened before his tenure.

112
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: But he was in for us last year and there's

113
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: still problems with not enough oversight. There's not enough mechanism

114
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: to reduce this kind of fraud.

115
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: All right, Richie, thank you for coming on with us again.

116
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, my pleasure.

117
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Rich Richie Greenberg, who was a writer and a journalist

118
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: up in San Francisco, and it's about this. We had

119
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: these every day now. Gwendolyn Westbrook COOV United Counsel of

120
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Human Services. She stole over a million dollars. She would

121
00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: tell everybody about what she was buying, luxury cars, a Tesla, jewelry,

122
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: whole trunk full of jewelry, Louis Vuitton, Neiman Marcus clothing,

123
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: and her accusations that people knew about that we're public

124
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: go back to nineteen ninety seven. It just goes on

125
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: and on and on and it's your money, or in

126
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: this case, it's the taxpayers at San Francisco.

127
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 2: Boy, do those people get hosed.

128
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I

129
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 4: Am six forty.

130
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: We are on every day from three to six and

131
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: after six o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the

132
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: iHeart app. Now Conway normally follows us at six o'clock,

133
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: but today we have a guest host, Donald Trump will

134
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: be filling in for Tim Conway. Some kind of State

135
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: of the Union hooplag going on there. So that's today

136
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: at six, and then Conway will come on afterwards. I'm

137
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: trying desperately here to explained to people just how this

138
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: whole corrupt system works. I have told you in the

139
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: past that the city gives tax money to groups that

140
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: then start public protests and sometimes riots, and then voters

141
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: get affected when they see the protests and the riots,

142
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: not knowing these are small groups that are funded with

143
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: your tax dollars. They don't represent a majority, they don't

144
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: represent anything organic, they don't even represent a significant minority.

145
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: They're fringe elements financed by our government. Who I assume

146
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: some of these people are in on the grift and

147
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: I'll excuse me. I'll give you an example. We've gone

148
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: on a lot Karen Bass. Right now, the fire chief,

149
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: Christan Crowley is suing her or suing the city, saying

150
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: that Bass demoted her and broke the law because Crowley

151
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: was telling the truth. And she says Bass never told

152
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: her she was going to Africa, and she was told

153
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: that the fire and wind danger was extreme. The other candidate,

154
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: and this is really upsetting people, you know, the other

155
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: traditional candidate is Nythia Ramen, the councilwoman. Now, Nythia Rahmen

156
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: is far left wing Democratic Socialist of America member communists basically,

157
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: and the La City Council is voting to spend one

158
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy seven million dollars on contracts to another

159
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: group of nonprofit their tenant advocates. And the package was

160
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: put together by Nythia Ramen. She is arranging to have

161
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: this money stolen from the Measure ULA fund. You remember,

162
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: Measure Ula doesn't affect many of most of you, but

163
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: anybody who sells their house or commercial building, and it

164
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: costs over five million dollars the sale five percent tax

165
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: on that, and so it's become another revenue stream and

166
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: it's purely punitive. You know, people bought homes and then

167
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: over time the homes appreciated in value, and now because

168
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,239
Speaker 1: they're over the five million dollar mark, they get penalized

169
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: and have to pay a five percent tax on the sale.

170
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: And Nythia Ramen is taking that money and giving it

171
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: to tenant advocacy nonprofits. Now, many of these nonprofits spend

172
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: their money on suing the city. Ramen runs the Housing

173
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: and Homelessness Committee. Oh, they've been effective, and there are

174
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: four of these nonprofits that are getting a huge share

175
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: of one hundred and seventy seven million dollars. The Legal

176
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: Aid Foundation, Strategic Actions for Just Economy, Liberty Hill Foundation,

177
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: Southern California Housing Rights Center. They provide lawyers, rental assistance,

178
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: and organized tenants. They're known for their aggressive, high profile

179
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: street activism, organizing protests, demonstrations, rent strikes, high profile lawsuits

180
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: to try to stop the city.

181
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 2: From doing homeless sweeps.

182
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: So we are spending a billion dollars to get the

183
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 1: homeless off the streets. Nithia Ramen is sending one hundred

184
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: and seventy seven million dollars to these nonprofits so they

185
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: could sue and stop the sweeps.

186
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: You want me to say that again. Slowly.

187
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: We're spending a billion dollars to get the homeless off

188
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: the streets, and Nythia Ramen is spending one hundred and

189
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: seventy seven million dollars on nonprofits who sue to block

190
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: the sweeps. So we're paying to get them off the street,

191
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: and we're paying to keep them on the street. We're

192
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: paying both sides of the lawsuit. And this is what

193
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: Ramen does because romb Ramen is the one who voted

194
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: against getting homeless encampments away from schools and take care centers.

195
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: She had that infamous one and lost Felis. Where's the

196
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: elementary school? Little children in Los Felis And they couldn't

197
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: get into the classrooms because of all the tents and

198
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: all the depraved mental patients and lunatics and drug addicts

199
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: who were terrifying the children.

200
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: So I don't understand. They're terrifying the children.

201
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: And inside the tents you have gang members selling drugs

202
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: and guns and Nythia Rahman wouldn't move them.

203
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: And she won.

204
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: She ran for re election and won. Now she's running

205
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: for mayor against Karen Bass. Out of one hundred and

206
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: seventy seven million dollars. One hundred and six is going

207
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: to go to the Legal Aid Foundation. They take aggressive

208
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: legal policies against the city. For example, they just sued

209
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: LA because LA wanted to a dismantle all the abandoned RV encampments,

210
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: claiming the city lacked the authority to do so. This

211
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: activist organization that is also getting millions of dollars SAJE,

212
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: has called for the police to be defunded. No, they've

213
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: called for the police to be abolished, defunded and then abolished.

214
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: They're opposing the twenty twenty eight Olympics, They're boycotting hotels.

215
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: They want to derail the Olympics and get rid of

216
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: the police department. And we're getting we're giving them six

217
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: million dollars thanks to Nythia Ramen.

218
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: Nythia Ramen has created.

219
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: A mechanism so that this nonprofit Strategic Actions for Just

220
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: Economy SAGE is going to take our six million dollars

221
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: to finance all their protests to defund the police, abolish

222
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: the police, boycott hotels, and oppose the LA Olympics in

223
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, your tax money, Nythia Ramen California Post

224
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: Jamie Page wrote all about it. You should go look

00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: it up. She's doing a great job, and they're doing

226
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: a great job. Good luck finding those stories in the Times.

227
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six.

228
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Forty'ren every day from one from three until six. That's

229
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: the new time, three until six. Today at six o'clock

230
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: it's Donald Trump in the State of the Union address

231
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: and Conway will follow Trump otherwise. He's on from six

232
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,359
Speaker 1: to ten now and.

233
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna play a get cut six ready, Eric.

234
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: It is incredibly frustrating because I just told you that

235
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: Nythia Rahman is getting a bill passed. She's the La

236
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: City councilman. She's a communist, she's running for mayor against Bass,

237
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: and she's getting a bill passed to spend one hundred

238
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: and seventy seven million dollars on these nonprofit organizations. And

239
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: these nonprofit organizations spend a lot of the money on

240
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: public protests to fight the homeless being swept off the streets.

241
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: So not, as I mentioned in the last segment, not

242
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: only are we spending money to get the homeless off

243
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: the streets, but we're also spending money to finance the

244
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: legal fight to keep them on the streets.

245
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: You got that.

246
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: We're spending money to get them off, and then we're

247
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: giving money to nonprofits who take LA to court to

248
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: keep the homeless.

249
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 2: Where they are.

250
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: And I don't know what explains this. This goes on

251
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: all the time where they sweep homeless encampments off the

252
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: streets and then they come back almost immediately. But we're

253
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: going to take you to the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard,

254
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: Westwood Boulevard. Fox eleven reporter Matthew Sheedorf. Listen to this.

255
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: This has really been a constant cycle of the city

256
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 5: clearing out this homeless encamment and then the homeless moving

257
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 5: right back in. Michael, show you how it looks tonight.

258
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 5: We count about ten encampments out here, and this is

259
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 5: something that's happening all across the city. The busy Westwood

260
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 5: intersection now is snapshot of LA's homeless crisis. Last month's

261
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 5: city creus cleared out the large encampment, but within hours

262
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: Camper's returned. Since then, more cleanups and more homeless.

263
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: We've been here, We've been here, we haven't left yet.

264
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: Wine bottles of barbecue, scrap, metal, furniture, condoms, and human waste.

265
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: People keep coming back.

266
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 4: It's the safest place to be where you're not disturbing

267
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: the front of a business.

268
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 5: Those now living at Santa Monica and Westwoods say they've

269
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 5: been homeless for about five years.

270
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: The city gets more NFL. But I don't think it's

271
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: the city's the problem.

272
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 5: I think it's more so some of the people that

273
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 5: are out here try offering you hope to get sheltered, Oh, conformation,

274
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 5: Why not go to the housing?

275
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: Oh?

276
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: Because if I go to the housing, then I wouldn't

277
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: be out here for the people that need me.

278
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: So that's why I'm here here.

279
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

280
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 2: It means eyes of hell people myself out here.

281
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 4: You know, people that go to the shelters are the

282
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: ones that are the most broken, the most violent, the

283
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 4: most you know, it's like being in prison without prison guarding.

284
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 5: You feel like it's safer and cleaner to be out here.

285
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely, without a doubt.

286
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 5: Someone appears to be sleepy underneath this Pizez coffee umbrella.

287
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 5: The nearest piece is about a block away. Then we've

288
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 5: got all of this trash and food, a beer can,

289
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 5: and then what looks like a homemade weapon made out

290
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: of a plant.

291
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: It's turned into a.

292
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: Nightmare really for nearby neighbors. This site now common. We

293
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 2: want the area to be safe and clean and a

294
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: place that we like to visit.

295
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 3: It's like, oh wow, welcome to La you know. I mean,

296
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: it's supposed to be one of the nicer areas.

297
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 5: City crews will likely return again, only for camps to

298
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 5: move right back.

299
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 4: In, and some of these people need to be put

300
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 4: in safe shelter.

301
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 5: Counsewoman Kenny Yorslovsky's office sign me a message tonight saying

302
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 5: they're working on signage to make this a no camping

303
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 5: zone and whenever that is made, they can enforce no

304
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 5: campaign laws.

305
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: So if you don't put up a sign, they could

306
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: leave all their garbage and feces and drug parafernalia on

307
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: the ground.

308
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: It's like, we gotta get somebody. Uh, we got to

309
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: get somebody that could to make a sign, put up

310
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: a sign. Kiddy Orslavsky is brain dead. She is a

311
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: human vegetable. They all are. Can you believe this?

312
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: Out of all the billions of dollars we gave Karen pass,

313
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: but what happened her inside safe program? Did you notice

314
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 1: what the homeless guy said? He said that it made

315
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: it sound like only the losers go into the shelters,

316
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: because those are the really violent, broken people, and it's

317
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: like being in prison without bars when you go. But

318
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: he made it sound like the normal homeless people are

319
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: the ones outside. See, these are the same homeless people.

320
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 1: These these people who are menacing, frothing at the mouth, waving,

321
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: waving their empty liquor bottles in the air, needles hanging

322
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: out of their arm, snorting methy, screaming into the night.

323
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: These are the normal people you should see, the ones

324
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: who take the shelters. Of course, that's where a lot

325
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: of money is being spent on inside safe is to

326
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: put them in shelters, but they don't stay. A lot

327
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: of them leave because I guess it's so crazy in there,

328
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 1: so they actually feel safer living out on the street.

329
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: All these people should be swept up and gone, but

330
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: we're paying for the lawsuits that keep them there.

331
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 2: You following all this, and then and then and then people,

332
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: I always say.

333
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: The same sound, the same sound. All these stories open

334
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: with normal residents who are paying taxes talk about how

335
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 1: just awful and disgusting this is. I mean, they clean

336
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: this up and they come back the next day. And

337
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: I mean, look at all this garbage and look at

338
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: look at the feces, and look at the condoms and

339
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: look at the It's like, yeah.

340
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: The whole thing's a racket. It's a scam. Wake up.

341
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: They're taking the money and then they go through this ritual,

342
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: this theatrical ritual of cleaning things up and letting everybody

343
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: come back and cleaning it up and coming back, and

344
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: you give money to them, and then they take the

345
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: money and then they give it to the nonprofits who

346
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: file lawsuits against us because we're trying to clean up.

347
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: You see what's going on. They know what they're doing.

348
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything that all these participants aren't aware of.

349
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: You know, they're not saying, oh my god, I didn't

350
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: know this was going on. They know although it's going on.

351
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: Bass does, the Aeroslavsky does, and if the Ramen does,

352
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: they sign the paychecks, They signed the legislation to make

353
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: this happen, and you vote for them over and over again.

354
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: And I hear people going, I don't know, Bass is bad,

355
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: but Ramen is worse or Ramen is bad. No, they're

356
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: both horrific. They're both monsters. No Bass, no ram and

357
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: it's not a choice between the two. Hey oh, and

358
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: then wait, what else was I here? Well, I'm gonna

359
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: take a break and then we come back. I'll get

360
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: all this stuff in order.

361
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 4: Here you're listening to John cobelts on demand from.

362
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: KFI A six our podcast is going to be released

363
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: after six o'clock. John Cobelt's show on demand on the

364
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: iHeart app and and Trump's State of the Union. It'll

365
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: start less than ten minutes, or at least the ceremony

366
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: will start less than ten minutes. It usually takes about

367
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes for any president to go from the back

368
00:23:54,119 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: of the chamber to the front. This was weird. July

369
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: the second a CHP officer named Miguel cana had helped out.

370
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: You know, some drug addict laid in the streets and

371
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 1: the guy had overdosed on harrowin or fentanyl, and Canoe

372
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 1: got narcan out and reversed the poisoning process. You know,

373
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: you could be on the edge of death from herointer

374
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: fentanyl and and still come back if you get this narcan.

375
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: And so a lot of police officers have that now.

376
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: But after giving him the narcan, and it was a

377
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: dui suspect. CHP officer Miguel Cano started feeling sick and

378
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: then he swerved his patrol car, crashed into a tree

379
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: and was killed. And nobody understood why why did he

380
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: suddenly swerve and crash into the tree and die. Well,

381
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: now this week, this is eight months later. His cause

382
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: of death was ruled an accident because of fentinyl. He

383
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: somehow breathed in fentanyl. Maybe that guy that he pulled

384
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: over for the DUI was on the fentanyl. That's why

385
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: he was driving erratically. And they're not commenting further because

386
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: they want to thoroughly examine the report and they want

387
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: to be respectful of the family. Because Cano was thirty

388
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: four years old from Marino Valley. He's driving in Culver

389
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: City at twelve thirty and then he suffered a medical

390
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: emergency and he and his partner had just taken a

391
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: DIUI suspect into custody. And I've heard about this how

392
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: cops are at risk because it only takes a few

393
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: grains of fenta floating in the air that you accidentally

394
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: inhale and you could overdose from it.

395
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: It takes so little to overdose from fentanyl.

396
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: It's amazing that every single fentanyl user isn't debt, but

397
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: of course it does kill tens of thousands. It's been

398
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: killing over one hundred thousand a year in this country.

399
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: The guy they pulled over had a gun, cocaine drug paraphernalia,

400
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: and Cano thought the guy was overdosing. So nar Kansas

401
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: nasal spray that reverses the effect of any kind of opioid.

402
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: And he's driving back to the office and he tells

403
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 1: his partner, I feel good. And then the vehicle went

404
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: off the roadway and hit a tree and it was

405
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: pronounced dead and they've been investigating it ever since. It's

406
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 1: a common misconception, according to doctor Daniel Colby, that fent

407
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: nail can be absorbed through the skin, but it's not

408
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: true for casual exposure. You don't get killed simply becoming

409
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: into physical contact with it. And and so I guess

410
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: somehow he inhaled it. I don't know, Maybe it was

411
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: a fentnyl Grains were littered around the car. This is funny.

412
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: California Globe Katie Grimes put this together. You heard about

413
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: this horrible avalanche in Lake Tahoe, right, and it killed

414
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Well, it looks like all the

415
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: climate change fanatics in the media are blaming climate change

416
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: for the avalanche. Now, avalanches usually come from a lot

417
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: of snow.

418
00:27:59,440 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: Well.

419
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: According to Scientific American, there was a story that the

420
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe avalanche was explained by warm weather. Many scientists

421
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: expect rising temperatures from climate change to increase dangerous avalanches.

422
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: According to the NBC station in the Bay Area, the

423
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: new snow did not have time to bond to the

424
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: earlier layer of snow, and so that caused the avalanche.

425
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: You believe this all my life.

426
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: I thought avalanches comes from too much snow piling up

427
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: until the way to the snow causes it to start

428
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: tumbling down the hill and the momentum builds up and

429
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: you probably shouldn't be skiing in an avalanche. So how

430
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: about that instead, it's climate change because there wasn't the

431
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: proper bonding between the old snow layer and the new

432
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: snow layer. The Guardian, which is a British newspaper, said

433
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: that avalanche risks are high in California because of the

434
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: climate crisis. See it isn't too much. It's funny. They

435
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: blame a lack of snow, or they blame warm weather

436
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: and so the snow layers can't bond properly, and then

437
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: they blame too much snow, which is also climate change.

438
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: NPR says, as the climate warm scientists are trying to

439
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: better understand avalanche risks. Yeah, boy, it's it has been

440
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: so chilly here in southern California, and it's been so

441
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look at the last two three weeks in

442
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: the Northeast. They just got thirty seven inches of snow

443
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: on Rhode Island. They got about twenty inches of snow

444
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: in New York City. What the hell are they talking about.

445
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: Now?

446
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: They're saying that Lake Taha had a snow drought and

447
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: then it had a snow storm. You know, this doesn't

448
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: make any sense. It sounds like gibbers, but that's what

449
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: they're saying. That the avalanche is exposing how snow droughts

450
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: and climate change are increasing avalanche risks. Katie Grime's put

451
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 1: this all together, all right, We're done for now, and

452
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: we've got Trump coming up with a State of the

453
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: Union in just a few minutes, followed by Conway, and

454
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: we'll see you tomorrow. Michael Kurzier is the News live
