This story has literally been around twenty years 18 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: twenty years ago. All the hysteria after nine to eleven, 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: they came up with this real id concept federal law 20 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: and you had to get an upgraded license that's much 21 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: more secure, and it's taken California twenty years to implement it. 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: Now there's a deadline and now a lot of people 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: in the state don't have it. So what's going to happen? 24 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: Will they let you on a plane next week? That's 25 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: what Alex Stone is here for to explain maybe maybe 26 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: not that they will. And it's not only California. It's 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: taken the whole country at twenty some years to do it. 28 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: So this has been delayed over and over again many 29 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: times because people nationally would freak out and say, well, 30 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: they weren't ready yet, and the numbers showed not enough 31 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: people had gotten real ideas. But this time the TSA 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: and the White House are saying it's happening. It's moving forward. 33 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: So beginning next week, if you use like most of 34 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: us do a driver's license at a TSA checkpoint or 35 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: to go into a federal building, it's gonna have to 36 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: be a real ID and that's where you go into 37 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: the DMV. You bring a bunch of documents to prove 38 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: you are who you say you are, and then you 39 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: get it. And if you don't have it, you're gonna 40 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: have to use some other form of idea passport a 41 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: military ID. We talked to day to Adam Stall, Deputy 42 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: Administrator of the TSA, saying it's time that Trump administration 43 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: believes we got to do it. 44 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 2: This administration, the Secretary, we're really focused and we believe 45 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: the identity and document integrity is really key to ensuring 46 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 2: the safety and the security of our skies. 47 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: So real ID is a federal standard of what states 48 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: have to ask for to issue an ID, because until 49 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: now some states were super secure others you could walk 50 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: in and say, hello, I'm you know, John Smith, and 51 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: I just arrived and I live here, and they would say, 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: all right, here you go. Your ID, says John Smith. 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: It's got the address you tell us you're living at. 54 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: So theoretically a terrorist could come in and say that 55 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: they were any name and any address and get around 56 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: the no fly list and get on a plane and 57 00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: do something bad. So now you got to go in. 58 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: She'll multi pieces proof of address, name, social security number, 59 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: birth certificate, marriage license, if your name has changed. It's 60 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: meant to cut down on counterfeiting and insider fraud and 61 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: people using false IDs. But there is John a certain 62 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: segment of the population very angry about the government demanding 63 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 1: to see all of this, but most of it it's 64 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: their government documents anyway that they're saying, put it together 65 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: and present it to the DMV and they look at 66 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: it and say, okay, you're good. But still did say 67 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: today this is in response to nine to eleven. It 68 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: is a direct response. It's just taken a really long 69 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: time to get here. 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: This was a law passed twenty years ago and it 71 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 2: was critical vulnerability that was identified during nine eleven. 72 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: And if you don't have a real ID, you can 73 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: use military idea or passport. But if you show up 74 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: at Lax or the Burbank Airport or John Wayne with 75 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: your regular old ID, come next Wednesday, and then after that, 76 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: it's going to get really interesting. 77 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: There is a possibility if you arrive to the airport 78 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: without a sufficient or compliant real ID or an alternative 79 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: like a passport, that you may be experiencing a way 80 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: times and extremely rare circumstances. 81 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: You maybe did I travel and people are talking John 82 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: about showing up with like their old ID and a 83 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: gas bill. Can you imagine how TSA officers are going 84 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: to love that you're up there and you're like, no, 85 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: here's my ID, and I can prove that I live there, 86 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: so well, they ought to create a moronline for people 87 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: who didn't get it done in twenty years. No matter 88 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: how many times we say it, there's going to be 89 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: people there next Wednesday going, what do you mean you 90 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: won't take my ID? But this is my driver's license? Yea. 91 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: And so it seems to be a little murky because 92 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: I heard the clip you played, and that official didn't 93 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: say definitively what's going to happen? Right Like, if I 94 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: show up with a regular driver's license, am I getting 95 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: on the plane or not? Let's assume I don't have 96 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: my gas bill on me. I think it's gonna be 97 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: a little bit iffy for a while where they're gonna 98 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: have a little bit of wiggle room because they can't 99 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: turn you know, seventy percent of people away that they're 100 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: going to be working with you a little bit. But 101 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: that's not going to go on for very long. That 102 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks are not going to be like, hey, 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: we want to work with you. It's going to be 104 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: you don't have a real ID. You got to turn 105 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: around and bring me some other kind of ID. So, 106 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, you have one if in California, 107 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: they all have stars on him. But in California, in 108 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: the upper right hand corner, it is a bear with 109 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: a star on its booty. If you just have the bear, 110 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: that's not a real id. If you've got a star 111 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: on its on its rear end. I didn't notice the star. 112 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: Hold on, I got, I got the real id. Okay, Well, 113 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: when we have a star on the bear's rear end, 114 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: there is a star in the bear's rear end, Well, 115 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: then you're good. You're good to go. And there's a 116 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: cowboy on mine. You have a cowboy. I want to 117 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: look at it. Yeah. Yeah, he's got a cowboy hat 118 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: and a beard, and it looks like he's angling. So 119 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a gold prospector oh, a 120 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: gold prospect. He's prospecting for gold rerun. I couldn't tell 121 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: the Oh, you're right, you're right. He has a pen 122 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: that he's holding. Yeah, I thought maybe he had he 123 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: was holding the reins on a horse or something. The 124 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: other problem. And I was just talking to colleague here 125 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: in our bureau that she's dealing with right now here 126 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: in the LA area, that women who no longer have 127 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 1: their maiden name, that they come in with documents that 128 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: don't match their birth certificate, that she hasn't been able 129 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: to get a real ID because I keep saying they 130 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: need a true copy, an original copy of her marriage license, 131 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: which she doesn't have, And yeah, she was rejected with 132 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: a certified copy. So it's there are hiccups in this 133 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: whole thing. But a lot of women have been saying 134 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: that they've been having problems. You know, I have a 135 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: really stupid look on my face in my driver's license photo. 136 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: I just noticed this. I only got it a few 137 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: weeks ago. I look like I've been hitting the head. 138 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: Well that's perfect, just all right. So I just want 139 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: to know what they're going to do if they really 140 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: mean it, because they're going to end up with all 141 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: kinds of angry incidents at the airport there, and people 142 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: are going to be backed up in the line because 143 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 1: you know, somebody's gonna lose it. Yeah, there's so many 144 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: crazy people that's willing to say it. But I think 145 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: that maybe on day one, two three, they may say, 146 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: all right, you've got an idea, you're gonna just go 147 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: and you know, figure it out. But they're not gonna 148 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: be able to do that forever. Yeah, all right, Alex Stone, 149 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: thank you, all right, you got to live Jo Alex Stone, 150 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: ABC News for KFI when we come back.

They tied up downtown LA for hours, 172 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: didn't they? 173 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 4: They did? 174 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: And and they get to do this, and we don't 175 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: send in tanks to steam all these people. I don't 176 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: understand this. What was it the other day they tied 177 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: up the downtown area? Who was protesting there? 178 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 4: Well, it wasn't it the striking La County world? 179 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: That's right. That's all union people do is they go 180 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: on strike and they whine and complain. And these people 181 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: today though weren't even on strike, they were just cheering 182 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: for themselves. What's wrong with you? Most of these jobs 183 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: are perfectly ordinary jobs. They're respectable jobs. They're necessary jobs, 184 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: well some of them are. We're talking government work here. 185 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: But what is this We got to have a parade 186 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: for ourselves? What is this We have to block traffic 187 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: for everyone else who has to go to work, who 188 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: doesn't get union mandated off days to go on a parade? 189 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't I don't get this. Why are they constantly 190 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 1: in the streets in our face shouting if you're gonna 191 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: do that, I go to the go to the beach, 192 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: go to Griffith Park. Go somewhere far away, go out 193 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: in the desert. 194 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 4: They're not going to have an impact that way, John, What, 195 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 4: there's no impact. 196 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: The only impact they're having is is they're delaying everybody's 197 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: normal will progress throughout their day. You get stuck in 198 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: traffic for an hour and a half because a bunch 199 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: of unwashed people are standing in the streets, sweating and 200 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: shouting Jesus like that that crew from that that those 201 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: those county workers that were blocking traffic the other day. 202 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: One woman was blocking two lanes all by herself. I 203 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: saw her. 204 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 4: That's not nice. 205 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: I know what I saw. Now here's another one. Get 206 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: this crowd one hundred demonstrators at La City Hall yesterday. 207 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: They had a die in. They laid down and pretended 208 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: they were dead, and they were protesting budget cuts to 209 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: the Department of Transportation. Oh my god, they're going to 210 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: cut a quarter of the Department of Transportation's workforce, a 211 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: quarter of the workforce, seven million dollars in expenses. Oh, 212 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: here's the tragedy. This could impact everything from parking enforcement. 213 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 4: Oh no, we won't get tickets. 214 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: Well, what was the story we did a couple of 215 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: weeks ago. They were losing sixty five million dollars a 216 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: year on parking tickets. This is not a joke. It's 217 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: not an exaggeration. Sixty five million dollars lost. Imagine all 218 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: the parking tickets in Los Angeles and all the ones 219 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: that get paid at the end of the year when 220 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: they tallied everything up, they were down by sixty five million. 221 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 1: Because the parking enforcement weasels make exorbitant salaries and benefits, 222 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: and so I'm glad to see that they're getting cut. 223 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: And I don't care if they have a diet. They 224 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: should be cut. How the hell can I've never heard 225 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: of a city losing money handing out parking tickets. That 226 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: doesn't seem possible, because the parking tickets are expensive around here. 227 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: They're like sixty three dollars or seventy two dollars something 228 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: like that, depending on the on the offense, and it's 229 00:11:55,880 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: going to affect traffic and safety improvements. So there they 230 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: laid down on the front steps of city Hall. They 231 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: claim this was a funeral procession because they think hundreds 232 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: more will be at risk from the budget cuts. I 233 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: really don't understand. It is really difficult to get run 234 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: over on the street really you you if you look 235 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: both ways? What else do you need to do? Just 236 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: look around, you make sure nobody's making a left turn 237 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: from the side street or a right turn or whatever 238 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: it is. Just look around. There's three hundred and forty 239 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: million people in the country, and ninety nine point nine 240 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: nine nine percent of them do not get run over 241 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 1: in the street. You know, he gets run over of 242 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: the drunks and the drug addicts and the mental patients 243 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: almost people. I'm so sick of this crowd. I don't 244 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: know who finances them. Who's an activist? Who is? Maybe 245 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: maybe it's it's union funded, because I'm sure they're the 246 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: parking enforcement agents. I mean, are theyre unionized? I don't know. 247 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: But who's an activist for this sort of thing? Who? 248 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: Where are there are one hundred people ready to show 249 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: up and lay on the ground like a bunch of 250 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: fools because parking enforcement agents are losing their jobs. Parking 251 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 1: meter maids they used to call them. Can't stand those people, 252 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: you know what, They're not cutting enough. They should cut 253 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the of the meter. 254 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 4: Maans we can park wherever we want. 255 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: Yes, that's right in my world. When I'm the Emperor 256 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: park wherever you want, although it's freedom all right. We 257 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: come back after Debra's news. We started off the show 258 00:13:54,400 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 1: with Carl de Myo the Republican Assembly because he forced vote, 259 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: he got the Democrats to vote. I'm the record in 260 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: the Assembly that they think buying teenagers for sex on 261 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: the streets should not be a felony. Yeah, fifty five 262 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: Democrats voted to make sure buying teenagers for sex not 263 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: a felony. We have an assembly Woman Alexandra Messito, who 264 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: wants to speak out on this. It's crazy. They're perverts 265 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: and deviants. They should all do a dying. 266 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 267 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: six forty. 268 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: We're going to have assembly Woman Alexandra Messito come on 269 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: in just a minute or two about the legislature. The 270 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: Democrats in the Assembly voting to keep it, to keep 271 00:14:55,880 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: buying sixteen and seventeen year olds for sex, to keep 272 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: that a misdemeanor not a felony. They're blocking a law 273 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: that would make buying teenagers for sex a felony. Not 274 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: making this up. We had Carl Demayo on earlier. That's 275 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: another thing you got to listened to on the podcast. 276 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: In the first hour, I was just mentioning how there's 277 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 1: a group of whack monkeys who were having a die 278 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: in on the steps of City Hall protesting budget cuts 279 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: in the Department of Transportation. We're talking the parking enforcement agents. 280 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: By the way, I heard the traffic report. Apparently there's 281 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 1: multiple demonstrations. 282 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 4: There's demonstrations all over the country for. 283 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: This Mayday thing, which is not even they're not even complaining. 284 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: They're just tying up traffic to say, hey, we're in 285 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: a union. So and I was mentioning how I wish 286 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: they could get rid of all the parking enforcement agents. 287 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: And I think eventually they're going to and maybe this 288 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: is a way to make money on parking tickets because 289 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: La Times is a story that there are artificial intelligence 290 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: cameras now on La Metro buses. And you know, on 291 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: many of the boulevards, the right lane, especially during rush hour, 292 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: is meant for buses, and people park in those lanes 293 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: all the time. I do what you do. And now 294 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: with these with these AI cameras on the bus, they 295 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: have generated ten thousand tickets, ten thousand tickets. They first 296 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: installed them on metro buses last year. First tickets were 297 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: in mid February. They started on the Hollywood and Vine 298 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: bus route, and then there was one Santa Monica, Downtown 299 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: La down Wiltshire Boulevard and a few others. So the 300 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: AI powered cameras scanned for illegally parked cards cars and 301 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: they pile of video of each violation, photo of the 302 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: license plate, the time location. You're screwed. They have your 303 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: license plate, they have your car. 304 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 4: Unless they lose those Yeah, how are they gonna lose 305 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: money on this? 306 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 5: Oh? 307 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: And look at two hundred and ninety three dollars per ticket. 308 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 4: That's a lot of money. 309 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: Two hundred and ninety three dollars. In the second half 310 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: of March, two week period the program gave out over 311 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: three thousand tickets. 312 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 4: I wonder how many people actually paid those tickets? 313 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: How many way? 314 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 4: How many people actually paid? 315 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't know.

A lot of those guys live on the 319 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: bus all day and night and they just ride up 320 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 1: and down Wilshire. Because I'm on Wiltshire Bolevard every morning. 321 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: That's where a bagel shop is. And so I watched 322 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: the buses go by. It's all homeless people. It's like 323 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: a roll wing shelter.

There was Satan worshiper's 338 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 5: on the Capitol steps, and I knew that it was 339 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,200 Speaker 5: doomed to be a bad day. 340 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: But serious, wait, wait, wait, hold on, all on, seriously, 341 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: there were Satanic worshipers. 342 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 5: Yes, they were celebrating National Day of Prayer. They were 343 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 5: just praying to somebody very different than you would expect 344 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 5: on National Day of Prayer. But these are the crazy 345 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 5: people that come to Sacramento. So you know what to 346 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 5: sign up for when you put your name on a ballot. 347 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: Let me tell you, all right, we'll talk about this 348 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: bill here. It would I mean, the point of the 349 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: bill originally was to make it a felony to buy 350 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: teenagers for sex, and the Democrats voted to strip those 351 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: provisions out of the bill. 352 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 5: So here's let me give you a little bit of 353 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 5: backstory on how this whole thing came to be. Earlier 354 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 5: this week, the Public Safety Committee had the Democrat author 355 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 5: in their committee and they said, we don't want it 356 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 5: to be a felony to purchase a sixteen or seventeen 357 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 5: year old for sex. They had all of these crazy 358 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 5: amendments that would water this bill down that it doesn't 359 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 5: actually do anything. The author is legendary prosecutor who took 360 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 5: down Backpage, which was notorious for prostitution. Now when I 361 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 5: tell you she's an expert on this area, this woman 362 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: has prosecuted the highest level of child sex traffickers. This 363 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 5: state has probably ever seen. So once again we're being 364 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 5: accused that we're playing partisan politics. But let's go back 365 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 5: to the point that this is a Democrat who is 366 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 5: running this bill. We had Republican co authors on this bill, 367 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 5: and we were all very excited to support this bill. 368 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 5: But because our process includes that, it has to make 369 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 5: it out of committee to get us to be able 370 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 5: to vote that bill. Essentially, the watered down version of 371 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 5: it was going to make its way to the floor eventually, 372 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 5: but we said that's not enough. We want there to 373 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 5: be true accountability for pedophiles who buy children for sex. 374 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 5: So we pulled out our rulebook. We figured out how 375 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 5: can we get the Democrats on the record voting on this, 376 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 5: and so we pulled out every trick that we could, 377 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 5: and let me tell you there's still some more tricks 378 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 5: up our fleets, so stay tuned for that, and we 379 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 5: forced it to the floor. The Democrats then offered these amendments, 380 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 5: and let me just tell you what these amendments included. 381 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 5: The first one was striking the original author, the legendary 382 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 5: prosecutor's name off of the bill as the author and 383 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 5: replacing it with the Chair of Public Safety's name, which 384 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 5: is the least offensive in my opinion of the amendments. 385 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 5: The second one was that they crossed out any language 386 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,400 Speaker 5: that would provide any prosecutor the tief to charge somebody 387 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 5: who buys a child for sex and replaced it with 388 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 5: the language that said, it is the intent of this 389 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 5: state body to create the strongest laws to protect sixteen 390 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 5: and seventeen year olds. I don't know about you, but 391 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 5: I don't really know how much weight that would carry 392 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 5: in a courtroom when you're trying to prosecute a pedophile. 393 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 5: And then to add insult to injury, they made it 394 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 5: the worre today you've served no time if you're caught 395 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 5: doing this. That even if you're caught doing this and 396 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 5: we pass this bill with the amendments that the Democrats 397 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 5: forced today, you would only spend a couple days in jail. 398 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 5: I don't know about you, but I think you could 399 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 5: come with a pretty excuse, a fit excuse of what 400 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 5: to tell your wife for a couple of days if 401 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 5: you weren't home. So I don't really know how much 402 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 5: of a scare that is. So when I tell you 403 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 5: that we want this bill we wanted in its original 404 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 5: form on the record in law, we are going to 405 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 5: make that happen. We need justice for these victims. And 406 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,479 Speaker 5: we are so tired of the lip service and the 407 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 5: nonsense that our Democrat colleagues tell their constituents. We're making 408 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 5: every effort to make change. We have full the intention 409 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 5: to make change. That is ridiculous. You have the full 410 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 5: power to do something, and do something now, and you're 411 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 5: choosing not to. 412 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: What motivates them to block a bill that would make 413 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: it a felony to buy teenagers for sex. 414 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 5: Where's where I am going to put my tinfoil hat 415 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 5: on for a minute. But this is the exact words 416 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 5: that were used by the chair. He said there was 417 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 5: a backroom deal made with a bill similar to this 418 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,639 Speaker 5: that was ran last year, and he is honoring that deal. 419 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 5: I don't know about you, but I don't really like 420 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 5: the words backroom deal with dealing with our children. 421 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: We're talking about teenagers being sold for sex on the street. 422 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: Who cares what his background deal is? 423 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 5: Correct, you would think. And my message to every Democrat 424 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 5: that tried to kill our efforts to get this bill 425 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 5: in its original form where it needs to go, is 426 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 5: you have the opportunity to do the right thing. You 427 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 5: did this morning but you continue to have the opportunity. 428 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 5: So whoever is listening, if you are a constituent of 429 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 5: a Democrat that voted down our ability to get this 430 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 5: bill in the original form, pick up the phone and 431 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 5: call them and ask them how they can justify to 432 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 5: you that they don't want to protect sixteen and seventeen 433 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 5: year olds. 434 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: Is this what these guys are doing on the weekends? 435 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: Do they want to avoid getting the question? I'm really 436 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: wondering if it's a bunch of perverts and deviants and 437 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: they don't want their particular kink to be interfered with. 438 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 5: All I'm going to tell you is this is really 439 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 5: crazy to me. When even Gavin Newsom, who I don't 440 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 5: tend to have particularly kind things to say about, came 441 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 5: out out this week and said, yeah, guys, we need 442 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 5: to make sure that we're protecting sixteen and seventeen year olds. 443 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 5: This is not a seventy thirty issue. This is like 444 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 5: a ninety nine to one issue and the one percent, 445 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 5: if you want my opinion, we need to lock them 446 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 5: up and throw away the key. But it's absolute insanity. 447 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 5: And when you hear the arguments, the arguments on the 448 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 5: floor were okay, well, what if there's an eighteen year 449 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: old man who has a seventeen year old girlfriend and 450 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 5: they're engaged in a sexual relationship. I don't know about you, 451 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 5: but I don't know any high school sweethearts that there 452 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 5: was an exchange of gifts or money for a sexual relationship. 453 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: Eighteen year old girl. Eighteen year old guys are not 454 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,919 Speaker 1: buying their girlfriend on the street. 455 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 5: Correct. And then there was arguments made about the racism 456 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 5: associated with this. There was arguments made about the impacts 457 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 5: of the LGBTQ community. The arguments that were made was 458 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 5: the hypocrisy that shows that they don't even care about 459 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 5: their own communities and they're actually saying derogatory things about 460 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 5: the own their own communities that they're trying to represent 461 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 5: and stand up for. The hypocrisy in this whole thing 462 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 5: is beyond reason. 463 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: Alexandra, I gotta go. Thank you for coming on, and 464 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: we'll keep in touch with you, because I don't think 465 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: we've heard the last of this bill. 466 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 5: No, we have not. We're here to go to war 467 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 5: and we will fight for justice. 468 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: All right. Alexandra Messdo And she's a Republican assembly woman 469 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: in the Fresno Tallai County area. 470 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 471 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: six forty. 472 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: Because Karen Bess wastes so much money on homeless people 473 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,400 Speaker 1: and all the criminals who run the homeless industry. We 474 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,479 Speaker 1: don't have money for a fire department, as you know, 475 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: it's only half funded, and we don't have enough money 476 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: to fund the police department. Sheriff Jim McDonald is looking 477 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: at budget cuts and they're going to have to cut 478 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: four hundred civilian workers. Perhaps they're gonna have to lay 479 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: them off because the money is all spent on homeless 480 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: people who start all those fires and foul up all 481 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: the neighborhoods. In fact, she spends so much money on 482 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: the homeless, she doesn't have much money anymore for the homeless. 483 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: It's possible that her beloved Inside Safe program, wildly overhyped 484 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: and exaggerated, is out of money as well, and something's 485 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 1: going to have to be uh, well, they're just going 486 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 1: to be cutting funds and I don't thing is I 487 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: don't know what they're doing. I don't understand what it 488 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: is they're doing. I don't believe their numbers. And they're 489 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: even the most wildly optimistic interpretation of their numbers is 490 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: a drop in the bucket. So they don't care about 491 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: any of this stuff. They don't care if the police 492 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: department's underfunded. They don't care, if the fire department's underfunded, 493 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: half funded. They don't care if the Palisades burns down. 494 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: They don't care about it, any of this stuff. They 495 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 1: just want to make sure who the hell is coughing? 496 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: And I hear typewriter clacking and keyboard clacking. Somebody's got 497 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: an open channel in there. All right. I could deal 498 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: with the keyboard clattering, but we'd start coughing all over me. 499 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: I can't take it. And we're going more on this tomorrow, 500 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: because yeah, I mean, enough is enough here, all right. 501 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: The only good thing about the cuts is maybe they're 502 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: going to cut all those parking enforcement agents.
