1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome, 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 2: thank you for coming. And if you can't listen to 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:15,200 Speaker 2: the whole show, there's good stuff. Constantly just gets better 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 2: and better. Well that's why after four o'clock we post 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 2: John Cobelt's show on demand. It's the podcast version and 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 2: that's also on the iHeartRadio app. Today, Carl Demyo and 8 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: other legislators Republicans in Sacramento, they announced a Supreme Court petition, 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 2: an emergency petition to stop Gavin Newsom from rushing through 10 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: this redistricting plan. 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: It's we have it enshrined. 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 2: As they say in the Constitution, that an outside panel 13 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 2: does the redistricting every ten years after the census. And Newsom, 14 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: reacting to what they're doing in Texas, has this emergency 15 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: plan to put it on the ballot so we could 16 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 2: vote on it. And I saw I have read about 17 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: the press conference that they held yesterday and their entire 18 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: argument is Trump. That's it. We'll get into those details. 19 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: It boils down to one word. Carl's on with us 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 2: now to explain this emergency Supreme Court petition that he 21 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: and others are filing. 22 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: Carl, how are you. 23 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm pretty ticked off that Newsome and 24 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 3: California Democrat politicians are just openly violating state constitutional requirements. 25 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: And I'm losing count of how many times they're violating 26 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 3: their oath to uphold the constitution and violating the law. 27 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 3: I guess they just feel like might makes right and 28 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 3: they can just do whatever the hell they want. It's 29 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: an abuse of power. So today was the first of 30 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: what I consider likely to be several lawsuits that we're filing. 31 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 3: Today's lawsuit was based upon emotion I made yesterday on 32 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: the Assembly floor, and under the state Constitution Article four, 33 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 3: section eight A, it states that no bill shall be 34 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 3: advanced without thirty days of public review. What they did 35 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: is they introduced the bill yesterday morning, and now they 36 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 3: will pass it by this Thursday. That's only three days 37 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: they're going to hold one to hearing, and the public 38 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: has no right to weigh in or see the details. 39 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: It was all worked out in a smoke filled back 40 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: room by politicians trading votes in a corrupt process. This 41 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: is why the voters took this whole process of redistricting 42 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 3: out of the hands of the politicians and put it 43 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 3: in a public process run by citizens every ten years. 44 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 3: This is outrageously corrupt, it is illegal, and I'm calling 45 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: on the California Supreme Court to do its damn job. 46 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: Everyone took an oath to support the constitution. They need 47 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: to tell the legislature and the governor to stand down 48 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: and give the thirty day public viewing process of the legislation. 49 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: I doubt they're going to do that, but we have 50 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: to take them to court, file the emergency injunction, and 51 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: hope they do their jobs. 52 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: You doubt who's going to do I doubt. 53 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 3: That the Supreme Court will do it, because remember, these 54 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 3: guys are appointed by the politicians. I don't want to 55 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 3: get anyone topes up. I absolutely agree that when someone 56 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: breaks the law, you call them out and you file suit, 57 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 3: and that's what we're doing. But the democrats of this 58 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: state and the courts, the judges have allowed the most 59 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: grotesquely illegal, unethical abuse of power behavior that I've seen 60 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: of any state. And that's saying a lot, because there's 61 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: a lot of bad corrupt states. California has taken it 62 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: to a whole new level where they literally are wantonly 63 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: openly violating their constitutional requirements. And the next lawsuit that 64 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: we file will be about out section twenty one of 65 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: the state constitution, which clearly states that the governor and 66 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: the legislature are not allowed to draw maps. They are 67 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: certainly not allowed to pass or propose a partisan map, 68 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 3: which they have admitted that's what this is to eliminate 69 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 3: Republican seats, So that's partisan. They're not allowed to do 70 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 3: it in mid cycle. It's twenty twenty five, and it's 71 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: only allowed to occur on the ones, and so the 72 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: state constitution does not allow us to see the governor 73 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: in the legislature being involved in these redistricting decisions right now. 74 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 3: So we'll file a lawsuit there, we'll file a lawsuit 75 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 3: in federal court on equal protection and on voting rights 76 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: app But here's the thing. All these lawsuits we have 77 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: to file, we have to preserve our legal rights. But ultimately, sadly, 78 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 3: I think the voters are going to have to deal 79 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: with this at the ballot box. And my hope is 80 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 3: they see the corruption, illegality and that they voted down 81 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: On November fourth, I. 82 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: Was going to say, because Newsom's crowd is going to say, well, 83 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: we're putting this up for a vote, and we're letting 84 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: the people decide yes. 85 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 3: But the state constitution states number one that no bill 86 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: shall be proposed and acted on without thirty days public 87 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: process and viewing. They have unveiled legislative maps. They've unveiled legislation, 88 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 3: not only a legislation, a constitutional amendment, and they're only 89 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 3: giving the public a matter of hours to view the 90 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 3: legislation before it's passed by the legislature. It's very clear 91 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 3: that the legislature cannot pass these bills because it has 92 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 3: not provided the thirty days. Now, there is an emergency 93 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: clause that allows with sixty votes of the Assembly and 94 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 3: three fourth votes of the Senate for them to do this, 95 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 3: but they don't have the votes. They failed to provide 96 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: sixty votes yesterday, so this is not legal. Again, I'm 97 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: just simply saying this is the constitution. They're not following 98 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 3: the conscertitutional process. And there's a reason why we say 99 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 3: that the public it's thirty days to view legislation so 100 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 3: that they can understand what's going on and weigh in. 101 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: That's why we are filing suit. They're not giving the time. 102 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: We're also going to file suit on the twenty first 103 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,039 Speaker 3: section Article twenty one of the Constitution that bars the 104 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 3: governor and the legislature from participating in map making. They 105 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: are producing a map, they're putting a map on the ballot. 106 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: They're openly admitting the map was drawn for partisan reasons, 107 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 3: and so they are violating the state constitution. Now they're 108 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 3: going to say, well, we're going to admit the constitution 109 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 3: in November. Yeah, but you are engaging in the map 110 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 3: drawing right now. You don't have the authority to do that. 111 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 3: So again, these are all issues that need to be 112 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: known by the voters. They need to certainly be litigated 113 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: in court. But I want to make sure everyone realizes 114 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 3: we're probably headed for a special election. 115 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: So you think you think that. 116 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: The majority of the California Supreme Court is going to 117 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 2: ignore all the contents initutional arguments that you just made, which, 118 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: to my untrained mind, they sound clear cut. 119 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: They are clear cut. A first year law student would 120 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: agree that we are absolutely correct about this. It's plain 121 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: English reading of the Constitution. But remember, these same justices 122 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: took the California Taxpayer Protection Initiative off the ballot a 123 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: year ago, so I've had to deal with these corrupt justices. 124 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: These corrupt justices have literally covered for the politicians. Why 125 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: because they were appointed by these politicians. I don't have 126 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: a lot of faith. 127 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: Now. 128 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: I would love for these justices to do their job 129 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: and prove me wrong. I will absolutely apologize to the 130 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: California Supreme Court. If they do their job as a 131 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,119 Speaker 3: first year law student can do and enforce their oath 132 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 3: to uphold the state constitution, I won't hold my breath. 133 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: And that's why the voters are going to have to 134 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: basically send a message that they will not tolerate this 135 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: sort of bad behavior by voting down this proposal at 136 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: the ballot box on a number four. 137 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: The method they use is known as gutt and amend. 138 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: They take unrelated bills that have already been submitted and 139 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: they strip out all the language, and then they reinsert 140 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: all the language regarding the redistricting plan. 141 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 3: That's how they do totally different yeah, totally different topics. 142 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: And at the press conference, one of the reporters said, well, 143 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 3: isn't this how it's always done up here? I said, 144 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: just because it's always been done its way and no 145 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 3: one has bothered to raise a legal objection doesn't mean 146 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 3: that this is illegal, and so the Supreme Court has 147 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: routinely stopped initiatives from the appearing on the ballot that 148 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: violates something called this single subject rule. There's been a 149 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 3: number of cases where the calibolty Supreme Court has said 150 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: you're dealing with too many subjects on this initiative. The 151 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: state constitution says that all pieces of legislation and all 152 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: initiatives should have one single subject, and they have exercised 153 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 3: that provision. This is in the same vein where there 154 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: is an unrelated amendment to an existing bill, and that's 155 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 3: how they're claiming, Well, the bill language was out there 156 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 3: for thirty days. No, you were naming a post office 157 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 3: in that bill, and then suddenly you turn it around 158 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: to allow for the politicians to seeds back control of 159 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: the redistricting process. This is not at all the same 160 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 3: legislation as it began. 161 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: But this is third world stuff. 162 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, really, this is this is this is Banana republic correction. 163 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: And you know, some of the Democrats say they're defending democracy. 164 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 3: Now they literally are tearing apart our democracy. This is 165 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: embarrassing and I'm calling on the media because the media 166 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 3: says it it's for transparency and public participation in open government. 167 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 3: I don't think the media would exist without transparency and 168 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: open government. Right well, I'm calling on the media to 169 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 3: do its job as journalists, show us that journalism is 170 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 3: still alive in California. Hold these politicians accountable for their grotesque, 171 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 3: back room, closed process that they have here. 172 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 2: Do the reporters all in the media outlets support this 173 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: nonsense or do they not understand it? They don't understand 174 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: what Newsom's crowd is doing here. 175 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 3: I think there's two types of reporters one actually three. 176 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 3: One of the types of reporters are not real reporters. 177 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 3: They're political operatives. They're propagandas, so you know, just dispense 178 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: with them. And then, sadly that's that's more than a 179 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 3: majority of media in California. A group of them are 180 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 3: just used to it. They're like, it's always done this way. 181 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: I'm like, just because you are a frog and water 182 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 3: and it's getting to the point where it's boiling does 183 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 3: not mean that this is sustainable. This is corrupt and 184 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 3: we're now starting to point it out. And then the 185 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 3: third group are people who really are trying to do 186 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 3: their job, like ca CRA's Ashley. 187 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: Is about the only one. 188 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 3: Aton Wallace. Yeah, yeah, you know, there's several reporters up 189 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: here who are doing a phenomenal job as journalists, doing 190 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: the work for the people and saying here's what's really 191 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: going on, and here's where the law seems to be 192 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 3: in conflict. And these good journalists, unfortunately, are very few 193 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 3: and far between. And that's why I'm urging the public 194 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 3: send a message that this sort of crap, this sort 195 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: of corruption, is not acceptable to you. Vote no on 196 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: the November fourth special election. They're going to spend a 197 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 3: quarter billion dollars of money we don't have. They're trying 198 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 3: to raise taxes or cutting services like services for hospice patients. 199 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 3: And now they're saying, oh, well, we have two hundred 200 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 3: and fifty million dollars. They just told the firefighters that they 201 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 3: couldn't get more resources and because there is not enough money, 202 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 3: but they got two hundred and fifty million dollars or 203 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 3: quarter billion dollars for a special election that's unnecessary for 204 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: their corrupt scheme. Let's send a message that this is 205 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: not acceptable by voting no. And I'm going need everyone 206 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: to help out at Reform California dot org. That's the 207 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: campaign site Reform California dot org. 208 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: All right, Carl, excellent, We will talk again soon. Thank 209 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: you for coming on. Thank you, and we'll continue about 210 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 2: all this in minutes. 211 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 212 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 4: six forty. 213 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock 214 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 2: and after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on 215 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 2: the iHeart app and you can follow us at John 216 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 2: Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio. We just had Carl 217 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 2: Demayo on. He's a part of a lawsuit along with 218 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: a number of other Republican leaders to stop Gavin Newsom 219 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: and the legislature from redrawing the district lines or putting 220 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: a ballot initiative in November to redraw the district lines. 221 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: We get to vote on it, but Carl says the 222 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: very act of drawing the map ball is violating the Constitution. 223 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 2: Because back in twenty ten, and this was under Schwarzenegger, 224 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 2: we passed a law that says no politicians involved in 225 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 2: the process. It's going to be an independent citizens commission. 226 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: At the time, it passed sixty one to thirty nine. 227 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 2: As of last week, it still had the support of 228 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 2: most of the voters by sixty four to thirty six. 229 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: So this is what we wanted in twenty ten, and 230 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: this is what everybody still wants today. And you may wonder, well, 231 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 2: what are they going to do to try to convince 232 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: enough people to switch there to change their mind on 233 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: having an outside commission, Because as many have said, and 234 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 2: I think this is the clearest way to put it, 235 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 2: it's the voters should pick the politicians. The politicians shouldn't 236 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: pick the voters. And what they want to do is 237 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 2: redraw the district lines. So forty eight out of the 238 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 2: fifty two congress people from California are Democrats, even though 239 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: forty percent of the state will vote Republican for Congress. 240 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: And follow the logic here. 241 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: Trump is putting pressure on the Texas governor and so 242 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 2: they've called a special session and they're trying to redraw 243 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 2: the district lines in Texas. That's why you had that 244 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 2: walk out there. But that's Texas's issue. They shouldn't be 245 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: doing this either. They should be trying to railroad Democratic 246 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 2: voters out of the right to vote for who they want. 247 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: So it's wrong, but that's on the governor. They blame Trump. 248 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: But the governor has the right to tell Trump no, 249 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: and certainly legislature doesn't have to go along with it. 250 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: And if they do, it's their fault. It's not up 251 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: to us to then take away voters' rights to vote Republican. 252 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: There's a lot of independent people who don't belie to 253 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: either of these two idiotic parties, and they have the 254 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: right to have two choices on the ballot. 255 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: Have it not predetermined by the way they draw the districts. 256 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: I think this is really simple, and it's really it's 257 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 2: really gross what Newsoman's crowd is doing. I mean, for 258 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: God's sakes, these people have destroyed California and this is 259 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: this is what they spend their days with, coming up 260 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: with complicated maps that make no sense, that stretch across 261 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 2: long distances and. 262 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: Zig and zag all over the place. This is stupid. 263 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 2: And in the end, they're gonna get forty eight out 264 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: of fifty two Democrats in a state that votes over 265 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: forty percent Republican. That's and when this shouldn't even we 266 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 2: have the constitutional amendment period, end of story. They don't 267 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: get to draw the maps, says the amend. Well, they're 268 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 2: drawing the maps anyway. Listen to the one note argument. 269 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna read you some quick quotes because they had 270 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: a press conference. You should have seen this crowd. I 271 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 2: saw a photo in californiaglobe dot com. 272 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: He should look. They are cadavers. 273 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: It looked like people rose up from the crypt robotic 274 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: and they all said the same thing. Here is Zoe Lofgren. 275 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: We're here today because Donald Trump and Republicans are trying 276 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 2: to rig the next election. Pete Agilar, Donald Trump is 277 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 2: rigging an election. Mark Berman, California Republicans would drop to 278 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: their knees to give Trump what he wants. That's disgusting. 279 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: State Senator Christopher Cabaldon. This map reflects the very best 280 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: interests of the vote of the people. 281 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: It will be forty eight to four. 282 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: Senator Monique Lemone from Santa Barbara, this is about empowering 283 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: you Californians. You're taking away people's choices. Assembly Woman Gail 284 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 2: Peller and a Santa Cruz. She said, Donald Trump lit 285 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 2: this fire by pressuring Texas to redistricting. 286 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: Again. The Texas politicians can say no, and the Texas 287 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: voters can punish them for it. 288 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 2: Senator Sabrina Cervantes but these are all original thinkers. We're 289 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 2: here today because of Donald Trump and the Republicans. Assembly 290 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 2: Woman Cecilia Agalar Curry, the President and his minions are 291 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 2: trying to rig the election. Boy, they just have they 292 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 2: just have maybe two three words. They really have limited 293 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 2: intellectual capabilities. They really have a limited vocabulary. And then 294 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 2: Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, who is a flaming moron, was 295 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: babbling about having the most diverse legislature in the world, 296 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: the most diverse legislature in the world, and he wants 297 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: to make it forty eight to four democratic for the 298 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: for the congressional seats. This is really really stupid stuff. 299 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 2: And I know there are a lot of people who 300 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: get mentally unhinged when they hear the name Trump or 301 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 2: see his face. I know a few of them, and 302 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: it truly ruins people's personalities when they get too heavily 303 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: invested in politics, when they can't keep a normal distance 304 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: and they can no longer have normal relationships because of 305 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 2: their obsession with a politician. Each side has these sufferers. 306 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: It is a derangement syndrome. There are Republicans who had 307 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: it with Obama, There's Democrats who had it with Trump, 308 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: and now we and Democrats had it with George W. 309 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: Bush. 310 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: I remember there were Democrats were Republicans who had it 311 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: with Bill Clinton. 312 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: There's certain people. 313 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: That make that that actually bring out the mental illness 314 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 2: in humanity, and we have a lot of mentally ill 315 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: legislators now, and it is going to affect your life. 316 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: It's taking away the choices you're going to have on 317 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: the ballot because they have drawn the district in such 318 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: a bizarre way it is not possible for your person 319 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 2: to win or even come close, even if even in 320 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 2: the if in the last you know, ten or twenty 321 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: or fifty elections, they would have won. And by the way, 322 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: even with the industry the independent panel, it doesn't come 323 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 2: close to reflecting what California really is. It's still forty 324 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 2: three to nine, and the actual voting breakout is more 325 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 2: sixty forty. But at least that's not a bunch of politicians. 326 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 2: They may be politically influenced, but they're not actually the 327 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: governor and the assembly people and the state senators. So 328 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: it may be up to you ultimately when the vote 329 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: comes to November, because they're going to do this really fast. 330 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 331 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 4: six forty. 332 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock and 333 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. Get 334 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 2: the podcast. You can get it every day and listen 335 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 2: to whatever you missed. This is a brutal video, and 336 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 2: obviously we can't show it to you. But this happened 337 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 2: at the Rose Bowl last night, actually Saturday evening. There 338 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: was a music hack called Rufus Dussault, which is from 339 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: Australia and they do dance music, electronic music. Yeah, yeah, 340 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: and apparently are wildly popular. 341 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: At seventy five thousand people. 342 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I probably personally knew at least fifty plus 343 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 2: people at this concert from what I saw on social media. Yeah, 344 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: they're from Australia and they have a huge success there 345 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: and in the last few years they've had a lot 346 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 2: of success here in America. So big, big, big concert 347 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: at the rosebul Saturday. But this terrible thing happened. Some 348 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 2: guy had a drink spilled on him, and the woman 349 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 2: and her boyfriend immediately apologized. This guy became so enraged 350 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: he stormed off and then a half hour later he 351 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 2: came back and he started pummeling the woman viciously. He's 352 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,959 Speaker 2: a big, burly, blonde haired white guy, and he really 353 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 2: was wailing away. It is really difficult to watch. Somebody 354 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: in the stands took the video. Here's a report to 355 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 2: give you an overall view from ABC seven Monica Deonda. 356 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 5: It appears this all started when a drink was accidentally 357 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 5: spilled and splashed on a man. Now, witnesses say it 358 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 5: was at that point that despite apologies, this man had 359 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 5: got angry and turned violent, and that is when fists 360 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 5: began to fly. The entire incident at the Rose Bowl 361 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 5: was caught on camera. The violent assault happened Saturday night 362 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 5: at the sold out Rufus the Soul concert. One woman 363 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 5: was punched in the face and knocked unconscious. Two other 364 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 5: people were viciously punched by that man. In the Facebook post, 365 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 5: the woman who was knocked unconscious says she spilled a 366 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 5: drink on accident, and she and her boyfriend apologized, but 367 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 5: that man stormed off. Pasadena police say about thirty minutes 368 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 5: later he returned and that's when the fight broke out. 369 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 5: Police say they already have multiple leads on the identity 370 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 5: of the man behind the attack, who is accused of 371 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 5: the attack. That is, those who attended Saturday show say 372 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 5: it was packed with people, the group even saying this 373 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 5: is one of their largest shows ever. 374 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 3: A song reason every time we called it seems like 375 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 3: a crowd stop. 376 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 5: Just last night, Rufus the Soul taking to social media, 377 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 5: releasing this statement about the assault, saying, quote, we have 378 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 5: been heartbroken to hear of the act of violence that 379 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 5: took place in during the opening act on Saturday. This 380 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 5: type of behavior is completely unacceptable anywhere, and the fact 381 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 5: that this happened at one of our shows was devastating 382 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 5: to learn. Now again, Pasadena police say they have multiple 383 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 5: leads on who this man is and they are hoping 384 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 5: to make an arrest soon. Of course, we will keep 385 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 5: you updated. 386 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: You can very clearly see who he is. I mean, 387 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: he obviously must have been identified by now, and I 388 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: don't know if he ran off, he's in hiding, or 389 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 2: they're just not publicizing his arrest. But what a barbarian. 390 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: This guy ought to be locked up in a mental institution. 391 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 2: He actually walked off for thirty minutes. This wasn't an 392 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 2: immediate response, which which would have been bad enough, but 393 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 2: then he walked away for thirty minutes came back. He 394 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 2: easily could have killed the woman. I mean he was 395 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 2: hitting her really hard, and there was a brief shot 396 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 2: of her l on the lane, on the cement in 397 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 2: front of the seat, all stretched out, and and and 398 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 2: and there were people trying to get in his way, 399 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 2: but he was just overpowering. What how many how many 400 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 2: grenades are walking? He's like a human grenade. What the 401 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 2: hell that was so easily could have killed her. I mean, 402 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 2: I hope she doesn't have any permanent brain damage from it. Wow, 403 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 2: that was that was bad to watch. And and she 404 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: wasn't anything close to his size. I mean, truly a psycho. 405 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: Truly a psycho. And there's got to be tons of 406 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 2: people who know who he is. Imagine seventy five thousand 407 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 2: people in the place, and you happened to sit behind 408 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: the guy with a severe mental disorder who blew up 409 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 2: because a drink is spelled on you, Like that's never 410 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: happened before. 411 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: That's I was just really blown away by the violence 412 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: there from this person. 413 00:24:51,800 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 2: All right, coming up after two o'clock, Okay, we we've 414 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 2: been talking about this for a few days. Los Angeles, 415 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 2: the city run by Karen Baffs who apparently failed in 416 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 2: math class. The city is bankrupt. They had to close 417 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 2: a billion dollar deficit, and although they're still struggling to 418 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 2: find money for illegal alien lawyers. Kenneth Mahea is the 419 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 2: La City Controller. And what's really scary is Mahea is 420 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 2: a full blown socialist. He's with that Democratic Socialist Party 421 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 2: and those people are crazy. He comes across as a 422 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: reasonable adult for the most part, and he says, we 423 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 2: got to do an audit on why we're paying out 424 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 2: almost three hundred million dollars a year in legal settlements. 425 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 2: We had the story the other day about the guy 426 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 2: who tripped on a sidewalk and he got three million dollars. 427 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: There's a lot of law suits and the idiot city 428 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: attorney is settling them for exorbitant amounts of money. 429 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: Three hundred million. 430 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: It's it's like, it's like about a five hundred million 431 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: for the last two years, which is why the city's 432 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 2: broke one of many reasons. But we've got to play 433 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 2: you the clip you may have you may have heard 434 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 2: it in some of our news promos. Well, we'll do 435 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: that after two o'clock. Because he describes the condition of 436 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 2: the of the sidewalks with a particular word. 437 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 438 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: Coming up after two o'clock, we are going to listen 439 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,639 Speaker 2: to a clip of Kenneth Mahea. He's the LA City Controller, 440 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 2: big socialist, but even he thinks LA is out of control, 441 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: especially when it comes to the lawsuits we're paying out, 442 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: Like a guy gets three million dollars for tripping on 443 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: a sidewalk, and that's just the least of it. Anyway, 444 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 2: he had a social media post yesterday and I guess, 445 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 2: I guess it was an audio post. We'll play some 446 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 2: of that coming up. Speaking of social media, one of 447 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 2: the most dangerous groups in America are young women on 448 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: TikTok because through their hysteria, Eric and Lylemannendez could be 449 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,920 Speaker 2: parolled very soon. They're hearing I can't believe. I can't 450 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 2: believe these two. This story will never go away. I 451 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: feel like it's dogged me my whole life. Eric Lylemanendez 452 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: up before the parole board this Thursday and Friday, and 453 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: it's either two or three officers from a board of 454 00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: commissioners who will evaluate the brothers individually. Eric's gonna have 455 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: his hearing Thursday. Lile on Friday video conference. They're down 456 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 2: at a prison in San Diego, and the board is 457 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 2: going to assess whether the brothers pose an unreasonable risk 458 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: of danger to society, and they're going to consider factors 459 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 2: like criminal history. Let's review the criminal history. They blew 460 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: their dad away in the family living room. They went back, 461 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 2: reloaded and blew their mom away, blowing her head off. Now, 462 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: the dad committed sexual abuse against them. The mother, her 463 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: crime was looking the other way, and apparently looking the 464 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: other way get to you. The death penalty actually blowing 465 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: someone's head off. You can get out when you're still 466 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 2: in your fifties. Of course, Eric and Lyle could have 467 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 2: always walked out the front door. They were eighteen and 468 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: twenty one. You could always walk out the front door 469 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 2: and always file charges against the police and always publicize 470 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 2: all the sexual abuse that was going on. They chose 471 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 2: to load their guns and blow him away and then 472 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: blow her away while she was on the floor crawling. Now, 473 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 2: I don't know how you come back from that one 474 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 2: to claim you're not an unreasonable danger. Clearly you're a 475 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 2: violent psychotic. You're a violent psychopath. I don't know how 476 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 2: anybody argues otherwise of all the hair brained nonsense in 477 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 2: this California justice system, that we had a system that 478 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 2: these guys even to get a hearing, And it was 479 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 2: spurred on by stupid streaming movies and this hysterical horde 480 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 2: of teenage girls and girls in their twenties who apparently 481 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: have some kind of bizarre hormonal, hormonal hormonal reaction to them. 482 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 2: Young women who have hormonal reactions can be quite dangerous 483 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 2: and frightening, and they have now coalesced into this movement 484 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 2: to release guys who would blow their own mother's head off. Now, 485 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 2: by the way, they partied for months after they did this. 486 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 2: I know this is ancient history. This murder happened in 487 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty nine. But for the people who spend their 488 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: lives on TikTok and don't know anything about what the 489 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 2: world was like before TikTok, that is what they did. 490 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: Newsom is allowing this. 491 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 2: Ultimately, he could stop it, he could reverse the parole, 492 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 2: and even if they get parole, it would be months 493 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 2: before they walk free. And then Newsom has thirty days 494 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 2: to affirm it or deny it. Do some affirms it, 495 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 2: then do Menendez brothers are going to leave. Is this 496 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 2: another thing that that Newsom is going to run on? 497 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: Add this to the list. Five dollars gas, double the 498 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: electricity prices, largest homeless rate in the country, crime all 499 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: over the cities, seventeen billion dollars blowing on high speed rail, 500 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 2: Twenty four billion dollars disappear from his state homeless fund, 501 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: over thirty billion dollars disappear. 502 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: From his COVID unemployment fund.
