USA Gymnastics had 16 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: that strange doctor Larry Nasser, also most famously the Catholic 17 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: Church Los Angeles Unified School District. His firm is Manly, 18 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 2: Stuart and Finaldi. And let's talk here about La County. 19 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: The probation officers who Manley says oversaw essentially Epstein Island 20 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: and it was one thousand seven thousand juveniles in the 21 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: detention facilities and the foster homes who were sexually abused. 22 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: There's a four billion dollar settlement in that case. But 23 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 2: Manley wants to know, well, who did this, how did 24 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: it happen? Who's responsible? 25 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: John? 26 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: How are you hey? 27 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: John? Great? Thanks, nice to be here. 28 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: So you said, we have a case where there's seven 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: thousand victims. Do we have any perpetrators that we know 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: of that by name or their supervisors? 31 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: Sure, we have a bunch. Thomas Jackson, for one, who 32 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: abused many of our clients at Camp Joseph Scott up 33 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: in North La County. I think there's thirty claimants against him. 34 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: His deposition was taken in the case. He asserted the 35 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: Fifth Amendment. The DA declined to prosecute him because of 36 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: the statute of limitations. And I'm not critical of the 37 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: DA here for that. They're stuck with the statute limitations. 38 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: But what's different about this case? So you know Epstein 39 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: allegedly abused, well not allegedly, he did abuse hundreds of 40 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of girls. Here we get thousands. How 41 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: many investigations have occurred on Epstein? You know, we've got 42 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: Gloria already calling for you know, her transcript to be released. 43 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: Every Democratic official and many Republican officials, I guess, are 44 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: rightfully calling for that investigation. Well, you have thousands of 45 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: kids here who are black and Latino, over thirty years 46 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: that were under the control of the Probation Department run 47 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: by La County, run by the Board of Supervisors, run 48 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: by the most progressive politicians in the country, and not 49 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: a word about an investigation. Nothing USC investigated, we investigated, 50 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: the DA investigated, he was charged here. No one investigated it. 51 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: And so what we've done is write us attorney here, 52 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: Bill A. Saley, who has a very good record on 53 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: victims rights, and ask him and ask the Justice Department 54 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: to open a civil and criminal investigation of La County. 55 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: You know how, we're going to the four billion dollars settlement, 56 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: which by the way, we're not part of, is the 57 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: lot we're set to go to trial in September, but 58 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: it's the largest sex abuse settlement in American history, a 59 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: dwarf's NASA, which was over a billion dwarf's USC And 60 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: we don't have any idea how this happened or who 61 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: was possible. And I got to be honest with only 62 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles would that happen. And the whole thing 63 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: reeks of corruption. You got a public employee union in 64 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: the form of the Department of the Probation Officers Union, 65 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: and I how did this happen? And no one can 66 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: answer it, and no one wants to answer it. The 67 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: Legislature hasn't held a earring on it, the governor hasn't 68 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: said a word about it, the Board of Supervisors hadn't 69 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: had a public caring on it. They just paid the money. Well, 70 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: is that what we're doing now? We're paying four billion 71 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: dollars for criminal acts and we don't know what. Every 72 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: Catholic don't I mean, they just don't care give they 73 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: don't give a damn. And what the truth is is 74 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: these politicians are using you know, children, And these kids 75 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: didn't go to these boot camps because they committed felonies, 76 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: they got in minor trouble and they were supposed to 77 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: be you know, brought on the right track, and instead 78 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: they were used as human sex toys by by you know, 79 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: some not certainly, not all, but some of these probation officers. 80 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: And it was known, I mean, the federal government sued 81 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: them in twenty twelve, and there was a federal monitor, supposedly, 82 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, saying this is going to be back in compliance. 83 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: This this went on for years, and the very people 84 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: that these politicians claimed to care about that they praise 85 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: and you know, oh my god, Ice is taking our children, 86 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: and you know that, maybe we need to protest that. 87 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: And I'm not I'm not criticizing that, but the utter 88 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: hypocrisy of allowing you know, you talk about what happens 89 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: to kids in ice custody. Well, in La County's custody, 90 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: they got raped. And how come no one's doing any seven. 91 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 2: Thousand times, seven thousand kids got raped multiple times. 92 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, in the in the custody of the you know, 93 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: of the of the Blue. And I'm not being partisan here, 94 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of you know, all this, 95 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: you know, oh my god, with children, the children, You 96 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: had custody of children and you let them get raped, 97 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: and and you're not calling for an investigation. 98 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 2: What is it about probation officers. 99 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, there certainly was a culture 100 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: there where this was this was not dealt with. I mean, 101 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: there was an example after example, complaint after complaint. Some 102 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: were actually prosecuted and nothing changed. So you know, the 103 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: point is is we we don't have all the answers, 104 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: we don't have all the documents, and it's I think 105 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: it's very interesting that that in today's LA times, when 106 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: the county was confronted with, you know, the fact that 107 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: we're calling for this federal investigation, why didn't they say, 108 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: we welcome it. We want to know what happened too. Nope, no, no, 109 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: we're we don't, you know nothing. So I think that 110 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: I'm very hopeful that you know, the US Attorney will 111 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: investigate it and maybe we'll get some answers. 112 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: But one of the things we've talked about over the 113 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: years in a lot of these cases, whether it's the 114 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: cast Church or the LA Unified School District or any 115 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: of the others institutional organizations, is just how everybody goes 116 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: dead silent while it's happening. Even though many many people 117 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: within the institution, like at USC knows what's going on, 118 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: nobody says anything. Then after it happens, it becomes news. 119 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: Maybe once in a while somebody goes to jail. Most 120 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: of the time, is not big settlements billions of dollars. 121 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: Nobody ever has anything to say about it. Nobody's angry, 122 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: nobody's appalled. Among those within the institution. 123 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: What is that, Well, it's called I care about my job. 124 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: I care about my institution. I don't care about individual children. 125 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: Our job as adults is to stand between those who 126 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: had hurt our kids and make it stop. And the 127 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: truth is, these people failed. And the reality is is 128 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: they're so busy caring about their next office, or their 129 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: paycheck or the union contract that they've completely off side 130 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: of what their primary job was, which was to help 131 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: these kids. You know, you took in many instances, John, 132 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: they took these kids forcibly from their parents and made 133 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: their parents pay tuition to go to these places, and 134 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: then they raped them. And you know it's it's destroyed 135 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: their lives, and you know it's this is you know, 136 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: I think the archdiocese total had I don't know, two 137 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: thousand cases, maybe twenty five hundred cases. That this is 138 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: seven thousand. You know, you had every politician in the 139 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 1: in the in the state up screaming up and down 140 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: about Cardinal Mahoney and rightfully, so, well, where's the outrage here? 141 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: You know, I mean, everybody's out right, but I actually 142 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: believe that I mean, you know, Epstein molests and rapes horribly. 143 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: You know, you know, one hundred and fifty young white girls, 144 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: and the world falls apart. But if you if you 145 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 1: assault sex you know, sexually assault black children and you 146 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: know children and apparent in Los Angeles County, we don't care. 147 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: If you cared, you'd get answers and you'd hold those responsible. 148 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what I think. I think there's 149 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: a lot of people that aren't a lot of high 150 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: places in the in state government and in county government 151 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: who would have a lot to answer for it. And 152 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: that's why they're not calling for it. And I think 153 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: that's precisely and it's a civil rights matter. You can't 154 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: take somebody in custody when you can't leave and then 155 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: just rape them. I mean, you know that just happened 156 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 1: up in the federal prison up in Dublin, California, and 157 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: there was a huge federal investigation. This dwarfs any sexual 158 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: abuse case, it dwarfs the Catholic disease case, and yet 159 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: nothing's happened. So, like I said, I hope and pray 160 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: that the Justice Department and our US attorney here will 161 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: get into this because it's it's wrong and it's awful. 162 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 2: John Manley, thank you for coming on again. 163 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: Thank you sir. 164 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: All right, take care John Manley from Manly Storton FINALDI 165 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 2: Where is it?

You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio, 171 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 2: at John Cobelt Radio and social media and the Moist 172 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: Line eight seven seven Moist eighty six on Friday eight 173 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 2: seven seven Moist eighty six, or here's the talkback feature 174 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. We spent a lot of time 175 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: yesterday on Gavin Newsom, who wants to redraw the congressional 176 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: districts in California so they'll be almost no Republicans in 177 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: Congress representing the state. And he's doing this to fight 178 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: back against Texas. The governor there wants to redraw the 179 00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: lines so they have an overwhelming majority of republic congressman 180 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: representing Texas in Washington. Now, I don't think anybody should 181 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: be redrawing their districts unless they're going to make the 182 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: districts more logical and fair and reasonable so that people 183 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: who live together in a certain area with common interests 184 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 2: and common needs have the same man or woman representing them. 185 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: But there's a lot of states with a lot of 186 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 2: bizarre congressional districts, and both sides ought to stop this nonsense. 187 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: But Newsom, particularly since this is US, this is California, 188 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 2: this is the one we care about, or should care about. 189 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: Whatever they do in Texas is the business of the 190 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 2: people of Texas. But him sticking his nose in this 191 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 2: Texas situation and redraw our districts. Do you know right 192 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 2: now how lopsided it is? Even with an independent panel. 193 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 2: Republican candidates got forty percent of the congressional vote in 194 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: this state last year. Forty percent. Do you know what 195 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 2: percentage of seats are Republican? Seventeen percent congressional seats from California. 196 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: So you have forty percent of the public gets seventeen 197 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: percent of the seats. What Newsom wants to do is 198 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 2: reduced that to six percent of the seats. His map 199 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 2: would redraw the districts, so there'd be forty nine Republicans 200 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 2: and three Democrats. No, forty nine Democrats and three Republicans. 201 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 2: Excuse me, forty nine to three. The Republicans would be 202 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 2: outnumbered three Republicans, representing forty percent of the voters. Yeah, 203 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: talk about threats to democracy. And he's doing this for 204 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: only one reason. I don't think he gives a crap 205 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 2: about this stuff. But that makes him look like a 206 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 2: fighter to all the lunatic primary voters who want to 207 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: topple Trump. Trump's not even gonna be on the ballot 208 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight. He's not running for president anymore. 209 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 2: So you have Newsom trying to whip up anger among 210 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 2: those who hate Trump, and by time this all matters, 211 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: Trump will be president. It's just the craziest thing I've 212 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: ever seen. And what he's gonna do is just disenfranchise 213 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 2: everybody who votes for a Republican congressional candidate, Republicans and independents. 214 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: That adds up to forty percent of the state. One 215 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: strategist said, Gavin Newsom's presidential campaign launch is predicated on 216 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 2: the success of this initiative. He says, it's saving demandocracy 217 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: and it can only be successful if it's not operating 218 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: as a presidential campaign launch. But it is. He says, 219 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: if this fails, he'll have egg on his face. He 220 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: should understand what the pitfalls are. This is to get 221 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: five new congress people that are Democrats here in California, 222 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 2: and so they'll come up with some kind of bizarre 223 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: set of weirdly shaped congressional districts so that Republicans will 224 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: be asd out of having a Republican representative. You know, 225 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: the Republicans will all somehow be clumped together. They'll zigzag 226 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: lines all across the states to sticks together largely Republican districts, 227 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 2: cram them into waw one congressional district, which is just awful. 228 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: And he's going to have all the sink offense in 229 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 2: the legislature back him. He has to put it on 230 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: the ballot. The public has to vote on it, because 231 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: the public passed a proposition back in twenty ten. Schwarzenegger 232 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: was behind this that said we have an independent commission 233 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 2: draw the lines every ten years after the census, and 234 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: he wants that repealed. So he's going to do is 235 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: run an extreme over the top anti Trump campaign to 236 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: get the lines redrawn so they'll be only three Democrats. 237 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: They'll only be three Republican congressmen left in the state. 238 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: Largest state in the Union will have three Republican congress people. 239 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: And that's just wrong. So he looks like a fighter 240 00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: to primary voters. You know, he is such a selfish, 241 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: arrogant stoop of a human being. You know the list 242 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: of problems we have in the state, many of them 243 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 2: he's created or aggravated. And again, nothing from him on 244 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: those issues. Nothing like Karen Bass. Right, we got people 245 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 2: shooting intruders, we got people pepper sprang, male thieves in 246 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: Studio City. Nothing from Bass, only about illegal aliens and 247 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 2: ice fall. Who knew him. It's all about Republicans in Texas. 248 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 2: There's nobody in charge here who cares about the people. Nobody. 249 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 250 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: six forty. 251 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 2: We do this every day between one and four o'clock, 252 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 2: and maybe you're just joining us. You missed a lot. 253 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 2: We'll be on We'll be on the podcast after four o'clock. 254 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: It's John Cobel Show on demand, same as the radio show, 255 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 2: just covers what you missed because we started out earlier 256 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: today at one o'clock with Michael Monks reporting on the 257 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security. The ICE agents. They jumped out 258 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: of a rented truck and arrested sixteen illegal aliens at 259 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 2: a home depot. It's the same home depot that they 260 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 2: hit a few weeks ago in the Westlake section of 261 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: LA near MacArthur Park. Fox just last hour released some 262 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: of the video I was looking on the website. It's 263 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,920 Speaker 2: very short clips. They're really not worth playing because it's 264 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: just noise and you can't make what's going on, make 265 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: out what's going on. But Fox had a camera inside 266 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 2: the truck. It was a Penske truck, and the truck 267 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: rolled up to a home depot and the driver indicated 268 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: he was looking for workers. The workers came streaming at 269 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 2: the truck, and then they rolled up the back door 270 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 2: and all these masked ICE agents jumped out. One guy's 271 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 2: wearing a cowboy hat and they ran it up sixteen 272 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 2: sixteen illegal aliens and took them all away. There's a 273 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 2: second clip of one ICE agent holding two illegal immigrants 274 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 2: by the shirt collar and pulling them away and everybody 275 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: is now Bass is screaming, and that idiot counsel woman, 276 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 2: the socialist communist unsis Hernandez is screaming that this violates 277 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: the court order. And you know who cares? Who cares? 278 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 2: Nobody wants to follow the law anymore. You don't want 279 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 2: to follow the law and clean up the criminals and 280 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: clean up all the homeless people and all the rest 281 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 2: of the nonsense. I really don't care what Trump and 282 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: Ice does. We're paying thirty five billion for illegal aliens 283 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 2: in this state, and you know, I mean, I've had it. 284 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 2: You want to go pay that tax money, go ahead. 285 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 2: I don't anymore. So whatever I is doing is fine 286 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: by me. Now, Now here's here's here's you pay your 287 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 2: tax money for this crap and it doesn't get done. 288 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 2: And we've been talking about citizens in La revolting, sometimes violently, 289 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: but here was a peaceful protest and it worked. In 290 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 2: Sawtel on the west side, there's a park, Stoner Park, 291 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: which I've been to many times. My son's played a 292 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,880 Speaker 2: number of baseball games and basketball games at Stoner Park. 293 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 2: I played tennis there, family park, and the whole neighborhood. 294 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 2: Not only the park, there's school's daycare, and there's some 295 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: dangerous crosswalks. And the residents kept asking for the city 296 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 2: and all they had to do was spend money on paint, 297 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: and they wouldn't. The city would not paint crosswalks around 298 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: Sawtel Park, And so Jonathan Hale, a local resident, took 299 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 2: it up behind himself. He bought two hundred dollars worth 300 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 2: of paint, recruited some neighbors, and they painted crosswalks around 301 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 2: the park over several weekends. And guess what happened. The 302 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Department of Transportation removed the crosswalk lanes, painted 303 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 2: them over. They people went crazy. They're just trying to 304 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 2: keep their kids from getting run over. And if they 305 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: weren't going to do it, why couldn't the residents. The 306 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 2: residents weren't even charging the city. What the hell is 307 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 2: wrong with people in this stupid carrying bass run government. 308 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 2: They're trying to keep their kids from getting flattened. We've 309 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: got so many criminals and drug addicts, so many mental patients. 310 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: Some of them drive. I know some of the homeless 311 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: people drive. They live in their cars, not to mention 312 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 2: the uninsured, illegal aliens. So here's what's crazy is after 313 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: the Department of Transportation removed the crosswalk lines, they came back. 314 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 2: The department came back and painted new ones. I Transportation 315 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: department said the crossacks crosswalks had to comply with accessibility requirements, 316 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 2: so the crosswalks would be painted after all, and then 317 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 2: they're going to install curb ramps and sidewalk improvements. 318 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: Well, I guess you have to take matters into your 319 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: own hands to get anything done. 320 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you do. There isn't a soul in this city government. 321 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 2: And this is why Trump's got to take over the Olympics. 322 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 2: Because the employees don't care. Nobody in government makes them care. 323 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: Nobody on the city council, nobody in the mayor's office, 324 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 2: nobody who runs these departments. Like John Manley was talking 325 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 2: last half hour when we were talking about the seven 326 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: thousand kids who were sexually assaulted by probation officers for decades, 327 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 2: nobody ever reported them demanded action be taken. I don't 328 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 2: know what the makeup is of people who get into government. 329 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 2: I don't understand it. They're not like normal people. They 330 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 2: are zombies who are just there so that their paycheck 331 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 2: gets deposited every two weeks in their bank accounts. That's 332 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: their only interest. Nobody's going to get fired. There are 333 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 2: no metrics to judge their performance, and they could sit 334 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 2: there like lumps of clay every day for fifty years. 335 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 2: And the thing is, when Garcetti was mayor, they had 336 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: this Vision zero plan and they wanted I remember that 337 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 2: they wanted rogue diets. They were removing lanes put it. 338 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 2: But they're painting bicycle lanes and nobody drives them. I mean, 339 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 2: I go down like Wilson Boulevard all the time and 340 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,199 Speaker 2: there's bike lanes and there's you know, there's there's all 341 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 2: these painted crosswalks. 342 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: In this. 343 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: Nobody nobody uses these special lanes. A ten years they've 344 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: had Vision zero and that that that was lots of money, 345 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 2: tax money spent. They did an auto recently and found 346 00:23:54,920 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: significant failures in the program. In Koreatown. Last week, a 347 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 2: nine year old boy was hit by a car while 348 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 2: crossing the street on an electric scooter. Local residents had 349 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: been complaining about the safety of that intersection for years. 350 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: They wanted to get a roundabout. They had a community 351 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: meeting in twenty twenty one. Nothing's been constructed. So they're 352 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 2: in Koreatown. There's something called the Crosswalk Collective of LA 353 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 2: and their tagline is we paint crosswalks. The City of 354 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 2: Los Angeles doesn't keep us safe. So we keep us safe. 355 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 2: And they're they're they're painting. They painted crosswalks in Koreatown, 356 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 2: So now you have these are like it's like guerrilla 357 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 2: warfare among the residents. They're painting crosswalks in Koreatown and 358 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: Sawtown and I'm sure the idiots in Karen Basson's had 359 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 2: been stration will remove them in Koreatown and then repaint them. 360 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: The stupidity is astounding. It's just overwhelming. 361 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 362 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: How about this woman who was dancing on the roof 363 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: of a rec center in San Fernando and she fell 364 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 2: into a chimney. She got trapped inside the chimney and 365 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: LA Fire department it took him over an hour to 366 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 2: get her out of there. They used this rope system. 367 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 2: They think alcohol was involved. They think because you know, 368 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: the first question is why are you dancing on the 369 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: roof of a rec center? And this was this must 370 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: have been right after a happy hour, because this is 371 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,080 Speaker 2: seven o'clock at night, and she's saw perfect timing. She's 372 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 2: so loaded. She found a way to climb up to 373 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: the roof and then fell down the chimney and I 374 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if she was able to call out 375 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 2: on her phone or maybe somebody saw her go down. 376 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 2: Because the rescue crew is able to find her. 377 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 4: It's probably a tight squeeze to get your phone out 378 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 4: of your pocket and a chimney. Did you see Trump 379 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,159 Speaker 4: on the roof of the White House? I saw a 380 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 4: photo of it. Well, what was going on there? Was 381 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 4: taking He was just taking a walk, I guess, but 382 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 4: reporters were asking him what he was doing up there, 383 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 4: and he shouts down, Oh, we're putting up nuclear missiles 384 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 4: up here. Then he mimics a missile taking off of 385 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 4: his hand. 386 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 3: Uh. 387 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 2: They probably all took him seriously too. Of course he's good. 388 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 2: They're all gonna be outraged and they'll be denouncing him. 389 00:26:52,280 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 2: Uh in uh oh, this is this is good. You know. 390 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: You know they gave special stickers the people who drive 391 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,199 Speaker 2: electric vehicles so they can drive in the carpool lanes 392 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 2: even if they're driving solo, and it looks like that's 393 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: going to be gone for good. It was called the 394 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 2: Clean Air Vehicle Decal, and they've been allowed to drive 395 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 2: in the carpool lane for years now, and all it 396 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 2: did is clog up the carpool lane for all the 397 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 2: Tesla owners. If you bought an evy, a plug in hybrid, 398 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: or a hydrogen fuel cell car, how many of those 399 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: exist in the world. I've never seen one of those 400 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 2: of you. I think Hummer made one. Yeah, Schwarzenegger was 401 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 2: pushing one, I remember. But that's so because there's four 402 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty five thousand vehicles that have these decals, 403 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 2: but they need authorization from the US government to keep 404 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 2: the programs in place. And the program expires on September thirtieth, 405 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: and I have a feeling that's going to expire. That 406 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 2: doesn't sound like a Trump administration priority. Here. In fact, 407 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 2: the California DMV has already put out a notice saying 408 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 2: the decal program is ending. They will no longer be 409 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 2: valid as of October first. Good. I wonder how many 410 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 2: people bought an electric vehicle so they could get an 411 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: undeserved perk in the carpool lane just because they're green, 412 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 2: just because they care about the climate more than you do. 413 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 2: Screw those people. Well, now they're getting kicked out of 414 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 2: the lane. I wonder if they'll sell their car now. 415 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 2: You know what else? It gets rid of the new 416 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: bill that Trump passed that Trump signed the big beautiful bill. 417 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 2: I feel like an idiot calling that, but that's what 418 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: everybody's calling it. It gets rid of the federal tax 419 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: credit of up to seventy five hundred if you buy 420 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 2: an electric vehicle. That's also ending effective September thirtieth. So 421 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 2: how about that. You're not going to get seventy five 422 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: hundred dollars in our tax money to find your freaking Tesla, 423 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 2: and you don't get to ride in the carpool lane 424 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 2: without a passenger anymore. This was such a huge subsidy 425 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 2: that the middle class, the working class was paying to 426 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: give perks to the wealthy because the Tesla was sold 427 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 2: not anymore, but they did sell in California, and only 428 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 2: the wealthy could afford those And of course they wanted 429 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: their own lane, or they wanted access to the special 430 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 2: VIP lane. Well they're out of luck there and they're 431 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 2: not getting the seventy five hundred dollars. I wonder how many. 432 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: That's one thing. I you know, it was irritating. I mean, 433 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:08,440 Speaker 2: Elon Musk built his Tesla success. No small, no small 434 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: percentage of that success was because he would get all 435 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 2: these federal tax subsidies and state tax subsidies, and to me, 436 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 2: you should always let the market decide if the people 437 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 2: want to pay for a particular product, like an electrical vehicle, 438 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 2: then you know, let the market work out what the 439 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: price ought to be, what people can afford, what they want, 440 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 2: but to have taxpayers, against their will, have to fund 441 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 2: the ev experiment. And then most of the people who 442 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 2: are buying the teslas have now turned on musk Anyway idiots. 443 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: They don't care about the climate. They wanted to be cool. 444 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: They wanted to be cool. They want to have the 445 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 2: perk of driving in the in the carpool lane, and 446 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 2: they wanted the big break on the price to get 447 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: seventy five hundred off. Good Lord, when we come back, well, 448 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: actually we won't be back. Conway will be here.
