1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,000

Speaker 1: It's just like the radio show, just moves faster.

Speaker 2: or don't and you could hear the show.

12
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: Yesterday a big success.

13
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: We were at the Honda Center in Anaheim and we

14
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: were collecting signatures for this referendum that would massively rewrite

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 2: Prop forty seven. And the short way to explain it,

16
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: as we were doing yesterday, it makes theft a crime again,

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: makes drug use and possession a crime again, and makes

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: fentinyl selling and fentanyl killing a crime.

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Period.

20
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: There's three provisions in it. They all pull really well.

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: And we have to get five hundred and fifty thousand legitimate,

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: valid signatures by the end of April, and they're up

23
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: to five hundred thousand before yesterday, and we got. You

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: know how many signatures we got yesterday is how many

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: John Cobel Show listeners showed up thirteen hundred, one thousand,

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: three hundred. Yeah, I mean that was a big crowd.

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: It was a steady stream. And what was really good

28
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: is nobody had to wait very long. I want to

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: say Cod Spitzer and whoever's organizing this referendum, that was

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: the best organized signature gathering process I've ever seen because

31
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: there were never there was never a long backup. And

32
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: at the end of by three thirty he said, you know,

33
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: we got over one thousand. In fact, we ran out

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: of they were running out of petitions. I think they

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: had to leave early, but they got up to thirteen hundred,

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: thirteen hundred signatures, which is way more than I thought

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: we'd get. By the way, that also saved the organization

38
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand dollars because that's what they would have to

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: pay signature gatherers. So by showing up and signing there,

40
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: that meant they've got money to saturate other areas with

41
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: signature gatherers and collect another thirteen hundred elsewhere. We are

42
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: going to be doing an LA County signature gathering event

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: March twenty eighth, which is a Thursday. Details to come,

44
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: but thank you all for coming out. Many people asking

45
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: about you.

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Deborah, Oh, thank you. Do you know there where there

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: was a big cheer that we had for you. I

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: appreciate that.

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: And I also got a vegan cookie from a listener

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: car also that was very nice.

51
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: Well, had we known that, we would have escorted them

52
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: off the premises, No, I had his chocolate chip cookies. Oh,

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: Eric taste tested him fat. I had to be the

54
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: taste test. They passed, so I had some. They're actually

55
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: very good, and thank you. Carls's name Carl, Carl. Carl

56
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: made one vegan cookie just for you.

57
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it was big. It was delicious, all right.

58
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: Well yeah, ours ours were very good too, now one

59
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: of them. Now, later this hour, we're gonna play one

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 2: clip from yesterday's show because I was really stunned by this.

61
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: We talked to some people in the audience, obviously, and

62
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 2: there were some people there that had really sad stories.

63
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: One married couple and one man who's a frequent guest

64
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: on our show. I'm at couple Ludo Uh, and their

65
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: their children were killed from a from fentanyl poisoning. In

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: each case, they their kids bought and they're teenagers, I

67
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: suppose bought pills and shouldn't.

68
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: Have done that.

69
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 2: I know one of them was online anyway, it was

70
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: laced with sentinel and they both died. And and this

71
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: is why we have to have this fentinyl trafficking provision

72
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: in this bill to make it a serious crime and

73
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: put him in prison for a long time. And if

74
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: somebody dies from one of these fentanel traffickers, it becomes murder.

75
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: What's there?

76
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: Warned Walking out of the crowd was a man named

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: Stan Slumkowski, and he was the guy set on fire

78
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: by a woman at a metro stop on the gold Line.

79
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: You remember this story is from twenty twenty two. I

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: know Steve Gregory covered it at the time and wandered

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: up to us and said, I was the guy who

82
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: was set on fire on the metro and I was shocked,

83
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: and he showed some of his injuries up. You got

84
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: to hear this interview. We're going to have it in

85
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: the last segment this hour, all right, So don't go anywhere.

86
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: Pay attention.

87
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: Another thing going on, which we're going to get into

88
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: detail next. Gavin Newsom's getting a lot of attention on

89
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: television news because he's flown to Washington, d C. And

90
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: is When I see him hovering around Washington, d C.

91
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: You get nervous because something's up here. He's on CNN

92
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: right now.

93
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 2: I see him. Yes, you're right, yes, and this is

94
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: his scam. They're going to be discussing immigration. He Biden

95
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: and a lot of the other governors. And you can

96
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: just tell from the graphic here. Newsom says Republicans are

97
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: not interested in governing. These jackals are blaming the Republicans

98
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: for the border crisis. Biden's been president now for over

99
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: three years. He undid all of Trump's executive orders. That's

100
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: what created the surge. This wasn't going on in twenty twenty.

101
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: It's been going on the last three years. Seven million

102
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: people cross the border while Biden was president. And they're

103
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 2: talking point now that they're repeating over and over again,

104
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: which nobody is buying, but they keep trying, is that

105
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: it's the Republican's fault. It's not the Republican's fault. Biden

106
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: is the president. If Biden reinstates all the executive orders

107
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: that Trump in stated four years ago, we don't have

108
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: a problem anymore. Look what Greg Abbott did in Texas.

109
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: I can't get over how Greg Abbot just by himself

110
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: as in a wheelchair.

111
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: He directed his various agencies.

112
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: They've put up cargo containers, they put up razor wire,

113
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: They've got their National Guard and their Texas State Police

114
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: down there. And at one spot Eagle Passed, Texas, where

115
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: Fox had been camped out doing live well Bill Malusian

116
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: doing live reports for three years at Eagle Pass. It

117
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: went from four thousand people a day to forty four

118
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: thousand to forty because Abbot started putting up barriers and

119
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: getting the armed patrol units, and he kicked out the

120
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: federal government officials told told the border patrol, well, the

121
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: homeland security, but you can get out of here. You're

122
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: not making anything better because processing the immigrants, which is

123
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: what Biden's bill does. When you hear Biden carrying on

124
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: about you got to give me the tools, you got

125
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: to give me the money. What he wants is money

126
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: to process all the immigrants. That's what he wants the

127
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: manpower for, not to stop the immigration, but to process them.

128
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: Now it looks like he's got something he's going to

129
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: announce at the State of the Union. And I think

130
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: they're running the ideas by some of the governors, which

131
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: is why they're having a meeting today.

132
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you.

133
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: About his plan, which he's got to do to if

134
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 2: he's got a chance to get really elected. He he's

135
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: got to fix this because his approval rating on immigration

136
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: is twenty six percent. So blaming the Republicans is not

137
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: flying with anyone, not even other Democrats. So we'll tell

138
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: you about that when we come back.

139
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

140
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: six forty.

141
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 2: We're on from one until four and after four o'clock

142
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: John Cobelt's show on demand, the podcast. All Right, So

143
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: Newsom is in Washington, d C. And he's already on

144
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 2: CNN babbling about immigration, trying to blame the Republicans for

145
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: the immigration crisis, and it's a total lie. Newism is

146
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: such a liar. I don't know what Jake Tapper, the anchor,

147
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: said in response, but Newsom is such a baldfaced liar

148
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: like I've never seen.

149
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: And he really does think he can get by.

150
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: With his hair, gelo good looks and say anything and

151
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: people are gonna believe it. Well, it's worked on the

152
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 2: boobs in California so far. Here is what Joe Biden

153
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: is considering, According to one news report, he's considering and

154
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: he would announce this perhaps in a State of the

155
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: Union address, a crackdown that closes the border if more

156
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: than eighty five hundred tried to cross in one day.

157
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: Trump used this law. Its section two twelve F of

158
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 2: the Immigration and Nationality Act. It gives the president broad

159
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: leeway to block any entry of certain immigrants into the

160
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: US if the President decides it would be detrimental to

161
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: the national interest in the United States. The president has

162
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 2: incredibly broad power to regulate immigration by himself. And that's

163
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: why when Biden was saying, Oh, I've done all I

164
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 2: could do, I need help, he's lying. They lie all

165
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: day Newsome blaming the Republicans is lying. It's section two

166
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 2: twelve F the Immigration and Nationality Act. And if the

167
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 2: law says you a latter, it would he would unilaterally

168
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: enact a sweeping ban at the southern border. And this

169
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: is according to three people familiar with the discussions going

170
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: on in the White House. Trump repeatedly used the two

171
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: twelve F powered office. That's what he used to justify

172
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: his ban on travelers from Muslim majority nations. Remember that,

173
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: and it went through the whole court system. And the

174
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: courts upheld Trump's decision because it's in writing. The president

175
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 2: has that kind of power. That's what's been frustrating the

176
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: last three years is Biden decided to reverse all of

177
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: Trump's executive orders, and they came flooding in seven million

178
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: illegal aliens, seven million, and nobody could stop him because

179
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: the Democrats wanted to back up Biden and they believed

180
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 2: in this mass illegal immigration. Here's how much the Democrats

181
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: believe in this mass immigration.

182
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna shot at these two stories. In New York City.

183
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: About two years ago, they passed a law that would

184
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: have allowed eight hundred thousand non citizens to vote in

185
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: municipal elections. These aren't legal residents, not illegal, but they

186
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 2: were non citizens. And a Staten Island judge, a Staten

187
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: Island judge that actually said no, that's okay, they can't vote.

188
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: Let me see if I get this right here. Okay,

189
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: excuse me.

190
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: The Staten Island judge, Ralph Porsio in June of twenty

191
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 2: twenty two said no, they can't vote. You know who

192
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: appealed it, the mayor Eric Adams and the city council.

193
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: They appealed that decision. They said no, we want them

194
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 2: to vote. The city council had given eight hundred thousand

195
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: non citizens the right to vote. The court said no,

196
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: and then Adams, the mayor, and the city council appealed.

197
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: So this went up now to the state appeals court,

198
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 2: and the appeals court said, we determined that this local

199
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: law was enacted in violation of the New York State Constitution.

200
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: Must be declared no and void. The judge in this case,

201
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: Paul Wooden, said, citizens have the right to vote in elections.

202
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 2: Can you imagine this is controversial? This is how nuts

203
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: it's gotten in these progressive cities. Of course they wanted

204
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: legal aliens to come in, and of course they want

205
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: to process them and give them legal residency, if not citizenship,

206
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 2: and of course give them the vote. And then your

207
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: city gets run by the whims of non citizens and

208
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. Suddenly American citizens have much diminished power. You

209
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: had eight hundred thousand votes, Well, that could change many races,

210
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 2: many decisions that are on the ballot. In San Francisco,

211
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: a non citizen, a Chinese immigrant, is sworn in on

212
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: San Francisco's election commission.

213
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: How crazy is this?

214
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: Her name is Kelly Wang, an immigration rights activist who

215
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: came to the US in twenty nineteen from Hong Kong

216
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: for graduate studies, unanimously appointed by San Francisco's Board of

217
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 2: Supervisors to the city's Election Commission, the first non citizen

218
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: ever to sit on the commission after California voters approved

219
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: a measure to eliminate citizenship requirements on San Francisco boards,

220
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: so people voted to allow non citizens to serve on

221
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: government commission. She can't even legally vote, but she's one

222
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: of seven people who will oversee.

223
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: The policies that allow everyone else in San Francisco to vote.

224
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: Can you imagine this? And this is the plan, This

225
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: is the ultimate plan.

226
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: You bring in millions of illegal aliens, and one way

227
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: or another, eventually you get to vote even if you're

228
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: not a citizen, and it diminishes. You talk about threat

229
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: to democracy. What other country lets foreigners come in and

230
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: gives them the right to vote to determine what that

231
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: they could get, Oh, I don't know, unlimited taxpayer benefits.

232
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: And this goes on, little by little, day by day

233
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: in this city, in that city, somebody is appointed to

234
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: a commission. In New York City, they're going to lay

235
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: eight hundred thousand non citizens vote in local elections and

236
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: you don't even notice it.

237
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: It's incrementalism. I'm always warning you about.

238
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: Meantime, even if Biden issues the crackdown to try to

239
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: save his ass and get reelected, he's already let seven

240
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: million people in and they're never going to go back.

241
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: Most of them, if they show up for their asylum cases,

242
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: are going to lose their asylum cases because most of.

243
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: Them always do.

244
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: Most of them are fake asylum cases. They don't have

245
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: any legal reason to be here. They lied, they broke

246
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: the law coming across the border. Then they lied to

247
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: border officials by claiming asylum. But because we have such

248
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 2: an absurd system, their cases are not going to be

249
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 2: held heard for many years. Meantime, we are why I

250
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: saw I saw some video when I walked in upset

251
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: my stomach.

252
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: I hadn't had lunch yet.

253
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: Knewsome talking to that dim bulb Alejandro majorcis the Homeland

254
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: Security secretary who has facilitated feeble Joe's plan to let

255
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: in seven million illegal aliens. Boy, that was really a

256
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 2: mensa meeting there, Newsom and my Orca. Then Newsome goes

257
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: on CNN to lie on that show, Jake Tapper's Show.

258
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: We will continue when we come back. We have Blake

259
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: Trolley coming on. And also we're going to play the

260

Speaker 2: fire by a woman at a metro stop two years

263
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: ago and always wondered what happened to him. Well, he

264
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: listens to the show. He drove down to the Honda Center,

265
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: or I don't know, maybe he took a train. He

266
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: showed up at the Honda Center and told us his

267
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,240

Speaker 2: We're going to do another one on March twenty eighth

286
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 2: for LA counting, although we had a lot of LA

287
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 2: people at our Honda event yesterday. Coming up in the

00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 2: next segment, we are going to talk to stan and Slenkowski.

289
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 2: We talked to him yesterday. Actually we're going to replay

290
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: the interview because I was so taken by it. He

291
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: showed up at the Honda Center fan of the show.

292
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: He was the guy set on fire by a woman

293
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: at a metro stop on the Gold Line two years ago.

294
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: She walked up to him and had a gasoline and

295
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: a lighter and doused him set him on fire, and

296
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: it was it was very serious. Obviously, I couldn't believe

297
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: he was standing there amongst us, and he told us

298
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: what happened and speaking of people being set on fire

299
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: or at least an attempt here. You may have heard

300
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: in Arcadia a vagrant he was he wanted free food

301
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 2: at a at a Carl's Junior in Arcadia, and they

302
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 2: told him no. And then he then he set the

303
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: manager's car on fire. Uh, and then he inside Blake

304
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 2: Trolley is covering the story and he's got all the details.

305
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, John, this is an extremely wild story that broke

306
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 3: out in sort of a nonchalant way. The story actually

307
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 3: surfaced in an Arcadia police weekly report. So you saw

308
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: a bunch of different crimes, and in there was this

309
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 3: wild crime. Nonetheless. Earlier this month, investigators say a homeless

310
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: man went into the Carls Junior here on Eastward He

311
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 3: Road and asked for free food. Employees at the store

312
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 3: told him no. The man is then accused of returning

313
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: to the store with a gas can and lighter and

314
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: lighting the manager's truck on fire. Police say the guy

315
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: then began chasing the manager with the gas can and lighter,

316
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: trying to light him on fire. The manager and another

317
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 3: employee tackled the guy and held him down until officers arrived.

318
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 3: I have obtained video of this, John It's on my

319
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 3: Twitter at Blake Trolley if anybody wants to see it,

320
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 3: but have a listen. Here's just some of the mayhem

321
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 3: and arcadia earlier this month.

322
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: Got the fire, get the fight.

323
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 5: It head ro.

324
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: And right here, right where you hear those sirens stop.

325
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 3: In this video they pan over in what you see

326
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 3: is this truckbed, this manager's truckbed, completely engulfed in flames.

327
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 3: That truck burned to the ground, burned into almost nothing.

328
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: Its remains were actually left in the parking lot for

329
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: a few days. Now officers were able to arrest the man.

330
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: He was booked for arson and assault with Costic chemicals.

331
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 3: Arson carries it up to nine year prison sentence. Assault

332
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: with Costic chemicals carries up to four years. I spoke

333
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 3: to another person who works at the store who didn't

334
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 3: want to be recorded. He told me that that manager

335
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 3: has still not replaced his truck. And by the way,

336
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 3: for what kind of truck it was, It was a

337
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, so almost brand new Nissan Frontier. I

338
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 3: took a little research. Those start start around twenty nine

339
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: thousand dollars. This guy is a fast food manager. I

340
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 3: imagine he's not rolling in the dough So I'm sure

341
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: buying this car was a hurdle. Thirty thousand dollars cars

342
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 3: a lot for a lot of people these days. And

343
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 3: we're told that he is still trying to figure that

344
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 3: out and that a GoFundMe a page could be set up.

345
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: That is now and it's quite a wall of flame.

346
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the video on your Twitter account.

347
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: Good.

348
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: I mean that is that that's an incredibly intense fire

349
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 2: that was burning in the flatbed there.

350
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: And then I see the guy pinned to the ground

351
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: by the cops.

352
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's pinned to the ground by the cops. Now,

353
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 3: it could be the cops in that video actually, or

354
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 3: it could be the manager. It's hard to tell because

355
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: they do wear black at this at this location. And

356
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 3: what we're told is that that manager and another employee

357
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 3: actually were able to tackle the homeless guy and hold

358
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 3: him down until officers arrived. And when you look at

359
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 3: that video, you see officers kind of pulling into the

360
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 3: parking lot. So I'm it's hard for me to just

361
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 3: be given the distance I have to tell exactly holding

362
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 3: him down.

363
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 2: About twenty five seconds in, it's two cops and one

364
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: cop is holding him down and another cop is standing

365
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: to his side, So by twenty five seconds into the clip,

366
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: the police are there.

367
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 3: I want to point something out, John, If you look

368
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 3: at where that truck is situated, you can see that

369
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 3: they have that camera kind of coming around the wall. Well,

370
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: that's not a wall, that's actually the side of a business.

371
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 3: There's actually a row of businesses there. And if you

372
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: listen later in that video, you hear people saying that

373
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 3: they're worried that this truck is going explode. So really

374
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: think about the danger there if this truck explodes where

375
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 3: there's several four or five nearby businesses that this truck.

376
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 6: Is parked up.

377
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: Again, do we have a name on this lunatic.

378
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 6: No, I'm trying to get his name.

379
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 3: In fact, I was trying to look into the case

380
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 3: more yesterday and I was told that this is an

381
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 3: ongoing investigation. Now I have reached out to some sources

382
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: who tell me that the reason his name might not

383
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 3: be coming out is he may be linked to other crimes.

384
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 6: Maybe they are trying today.

385
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: That's what I was getting to. This guy had to

386
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: have a record.

387
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: He's twenty six years old, they claim, and he just

388
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: suddenly wakes up in the morning and decides to try

389
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: to set a truck on fire or try to set

390
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 2: people on fire inside the Carls Junior because he wasn't

391
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: getting a free meal.

392
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: He's got to have a long record. He's got to

393
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 1: do bead stuff every day of his life.

394
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, John, No, we're definitely trying to figure out his name.

395
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 3: I've I've had my sources look into this. They can't

396
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 3: find his name. So we're waiting for that record to

397
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 3: surface so that we can see if he has any

398
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 3: sort of prior record. Now, I want to say, you know,

399
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 3: a lot of times when we get these high profile

400
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 3: cases with the homeless, one of the things I like

401
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: to do is just kind of go around the area

402
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 3: and just see what people have been dealing with. I

403
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 3: spoke with a grocery store employee just across the street

404
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 3: from this restaurant yesterday. Here's her account of how things

405
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 3: are right now.

406
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 7: Food here, She's gonna by the way, body stuff, stuff

407
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 7: like that.

408
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 3: Are you finding that they're getting violent when they're confronted

409
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: like in this situation?

410
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 7: Some are?

411
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 6: Yet, what have you seen as far as them getting violent.

412
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 7: Well, they get our stuff and knock it to the floor,

413
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 7: as they're walking out the door like you're.

414
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 3: Kicking them out, and you're saying they're they're knocking over

415
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 3: shelves stuff like that.

416
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly, what just making a mess that you guys.

417
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 7: Have a clean as bad as that.

418
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, because you're saying they're knocking stuff over, So

419
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 3: what do you mean. I'm just trying to get a picture.

420
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 7: Put our plans right here, and then as the door

421
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 7: they throw them on the floor and things like that.

422
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 6: While they're being escorted out. Yes, okay, gotcha. Do you

423
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 6: think that the police need to do more about the

424
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 6: homeless in the area.

425
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 7: Yes, I do.

426
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 6: What would you like to see for.

427
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 7: All this to stop? And our store here needs some

428
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 7: kind of security type now.

429
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: One thing I want to point out, John, is that

430
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: when we go into corporate stores like this, they don't

431
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 3: usually give us an interview. So this has obviously been

432
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: an issue where they felt like it was worth the

433
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 3: risk to talk to the media. We did that interview

434
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: inside the store itself.

435
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: And which store was that?

436
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 2: Again?

437
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 3: I don't I want to keep that confidential. That one

438
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: of the things that I had promised. Okay, okay, it's

439
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 3: very near.

440
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 2: Because the corporate bosses fire people like her, who tell

441
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: the truth, because you know she's scared to death with

442
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: these lunatics coming in.

443
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: And she should be. And I you know, I like

444
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: what she said. She just said, this is I just

445
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 1: want this to stop. Why can't they stop?

446
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 5: But this is.

447
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: Arcadia, this is La County, this is George gascon territory.

448
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: I really, Blake, if you can find out what this

449
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 2: guy's record is and how many times he was spun

450
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: through the system with little or no punishment, There's no

451
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 2: reason a guy like this should be on the street free.

452
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: He should have been in a mental hospital or should

453
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: have been in a jail period, and and and and

454
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: this has got to stop, period.

455
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:39,719
Speaker 1: All right?

456
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, John, Well, like I said, you know, we we

457
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 3: looked into this. Yesterday, a police would not release his

458
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: name to us. I had some sources try to look

459
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: into this and they couldn't locate the case. So we

460
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 3: are still looking. This is not something that we're giving

461
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: up on because we want to see what let us here.

462
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 2: If you can find out, let me know, because I

463
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: want I want to keep on top of these cases.

464
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: Blake tru with CAFI News in Arcadia. The crazed homeless

465
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: guy that nobody in government does anything about This is

466
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: where the La County Supervisors should should have laws and

467
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 2: they should be enforced by Gascone and the Sheriff's department

468
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 2: and the local police departments. And a guy like this

469
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: should never be loose. I mean, any of these lunatics

470
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: can walk around with a can of gas and a

471
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 2: lighter and have burned somebody to death, any of.

472
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: Them, And some of them do.

473
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: And that's the story that we're going to give to

474
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 2: you after Dever's News next segment. You remember the guy

475
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: who was set on fire at on a metro train.

476
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: I remember seeing the video. Steve Gregory covered this and

477
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 2: another crazy vagrant. A woman walked up and poured some

478
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 2: kind of accelerant on this poor man. His name is

479
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: Stans Slankowski, and she had a lighter and he went

480
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: up in flames. He was up ins in the metro car.

481
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 2: And Stan was at yesterday's event we did at the

482
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 2: Honda Center when we were gathering signatures and he just

483
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: walked out of the crowd up to us and started

484
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: telling a story. And it's quite a story. So we're

485
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 2: going to replay Stan Slunkowski. You want to hear this next,

486
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: John Cobelt showed you.

487
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

488
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 4: six forty.

489
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: In the crowd, we had hundreds of people who came

490
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: to watch us throughout the afternoon, and thirteen hundred signed

491
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 2: the petition. But one man stood out because he wandered

492
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 2: up to us and he said he was the guy

493
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: set on fire at the metro stop a couple of

494
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: years ago. Remember a woman walked up and she had

495
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: an accelerant and she had a lighter. Well, this is

496
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: the guy I never knew. We never knew what happened

497
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 2: to him. Of course, the media stopped covering the story,

498
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: and we don't know what happened to her either. Well,

499
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: Stans Slunkowski, he's the guy set on fire, and he

500
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 2: talked with us yesterday.

501
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: Listen.

502
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 5: What's your name, Stan Slankowski? Ah, Polish? Yeah, Okay, well yeah, no,

503
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,239
Speaker 5: part police, part a bunch of other stuff from from

504
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 5: northern eurok Where you from? Well, right now, I'm living

505
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 5: in San Dimas. I've been in the San Gabriel Valley

506
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: since nineteen seventy, you know, mostly on the west side.

507
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 5: But in May seventh, twenty twenty two, I went to

508
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 5: a concert in Pasadena, and then afterwards I got on

509
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 5: a train, a gold Line train east.

510
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: I had bicycle with me and my helmet and lights

511
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: and so on. I sat down. Woman behind me said you're.

512
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 5: Blocking my view, and I didn't think anything of it.

513
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 5: I thought she just said some kind of a nut,

514
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 5: and so I just ignored her. But then she sprayed

515
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 5: a liquid on me. I thought it was water because

516
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 5: it didn't have any odor, but it turned out it

517
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 5: was gasoline. She set me on fire.

518
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Are you the guy that was in the news. Yes,

519
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: they didn't put my name in the news. No, Steve

520
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: Gregory did several reports on on what happened to you.

521
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: I was that was the most horrible crime that was you? Yes,

522
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

523
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 5: I had to spend seven weeks at County USC and

524
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 5: they had to take skin off my leg down in

525
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 5: my left leg and put on my arm up here.

526
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 5: And let's see the one thing I found out. I

527
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 5: never had fentanyl before that, but that's what the paramedics

528
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 5: give you and I. And when I they gave it

529
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 5: to him, I thought, I thought this stuff was illegal,

530
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 5: and I so I was I lying down, and of

531
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 5: course I went out. I thought I was dying because

532
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 5: it you see red and yellow patterns, and then and

533
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 5: then when you I found out that's what they use

534
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 5: in the hospital. But you know, it's the medical grade fentanyl,

535
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 5: but it causes hallucinations. I thought at times that the

536
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 5: hospital staff was trying to kill me, and I tried

537
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 5: to fight with them. I you know, it was I

538
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 5: had they had a tube in my throat, and at

539
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 5: one point I got them to take it out, and

540
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 5: then they said, you're not eat enough.

541
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: So the doctor came and she threw it back in,

542
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: and it was you know, it's just say sorry. Do

543
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: you remember the moment it happened? Yeah, you mean when

544
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: I said it was when when when when they said

545
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: when she sets you on fire? Yes, oh yes, I

546
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: remember that very well.

547
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 5: I don't know if Steve Gregory was able to get

548
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 5: the video from that, but it would.

549
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: Be I remember seeing the video.

550
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: Oh I haven't seen it, No, they if I've got

551
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 2: the right event, Yes, I saw it because Metro is

552
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: trying like al to block anyone from seeing it. And

553
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: that's that I always think of that case wheneverbody we

554
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: hear propaganda about oh yeah, take the Metro, take public transportation,

555
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: and it's safe.

556
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: It's like, no, it's not safe. Crazy lady can set

557
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: you on fire. And then so how are you feeling today?

558
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 5: I'm okay, there's the last thing. Effects are that I

559
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 5: can't closed this all the way. Yeah, your right hand, yeah,

560
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 5: my right My left hand is okay. My right hand

561
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 5: is not right, you know, it's on the almost almost

562
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 5: can make it, but not quite. And my kidney function.

563
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 5: I was already diabetic. So at that time, my kidney

564
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 5: function was about sixty percent. Now it's it did go

565
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 5: below thirty percent, but then it came back up. It's right,

566
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 5: it's about thirty percent now.

567
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they don't think you're going to get any

568
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: better than about what it is now. Did they ever

569
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: catch this woman? Yes?

570
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 5: And I called the DA's office a couple of weeks

571
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 5: ago because I wanted to know what was going on,

572
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 5: and I got the case number and was able to

573
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 5: look her up.

574
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: She's in the Linn Wood and I looked at the.

575
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 5: Case and they had hering scheduled for her. I don't

576
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 5: know what all these hearings were about, but one of

577
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 5: them they.

578
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: Had probably mental state. Well, yeah, they hadnt.

579
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 5: In February, the first one I I saw for February

580
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 5: was a competency hearing and Hollywood. I don't know it

581
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 5: was in Hollywood, but the because the case is going

582
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 5: to be a Pasadena yea. And then they had another hearing.

583
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 5: I didn't go to any of these hearings, yeah, by

584
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 5: the way, but they had. At the moment, she's locked up. Yeah,

585
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 5: she's in Lynnwood, in Linwood.

586
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 4: Good and.

587
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: She how was it? She's got another competency hearing scheduled

588
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: for March. Yeah, so I don't know. She ought to

589
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: be put away for the rest of your lot. I

590
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: don't tend to be. But give me your name.

591
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: Again, Stan Slankowski, Stan Slunkoski, I'm so glad you survived this.

592
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: It's so terrible they have to go through it, and

593
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 2: that is the fault of every public official who's created

594
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: this environment where crazy people could run around and set

595
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: innocent people on fire on a train. That's just so

596
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: disgusting and every of every one of them should be

597
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: kicked out of office for creating this atmosphere. But you

598
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: stay strong, all right, right, thank you, all right, thank

599
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: you for coming on sharing the story. That's Stan Slunkowski,

600
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 2: and he wandered in to watch our broadcast yesterday at

601
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 2: the Honda Center. And yeah, he didn't even tell us

602
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 2: the story before we spoke with him. I don't know

603
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: why I picked him out of the crowd. I guess

604
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: he looked like he wanted to talk, but I had

605
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 2: no idea that was coming. And I'm just so glad

606
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: that he's able to get around. You could tell he's

607
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: still a little dinged by the whole after the attack.

608
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 2: He was showing off. I know if he understood what

609
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: he was doing there, but his right hand, he can't

610
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: close his right hand all the way. It's still very stiff.

611
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: He doesn't have full mobility yet. But I don't know

612
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 2: what the background of that crazy woman was. Nobody covers

613
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: things anymore. There's no follow ups. The only times ever

614
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 2: run any stories on this. I'm looking to see what

615
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 2: I got here. Yeah, one story, one story about eight paragraphs,

616
00:33:55,160 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: and that's it. When we come back at right after

617
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 2: Deborah's news, small businesses are getting hammered here in California,

618
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 2: And this week they held a press conference at the

619
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: capitol because small business owners wanted to discuss how the

620
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: taxes are too high, the regulations are too severe, the

621
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: crime is pervasive, it's costing too much money. It is

622
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 2: really difficult to start a business, grow a business, keep

623
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 2: a business here in California. And we're going to talk

624
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 2: to Senator Jenet Wynn from Huntington Beach about what the

625
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,839
