1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Hello, how are you welcome to the show.

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: We are here every day from one till four o'clock

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 2: and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: on the iHeart app, and you could listen to whatever

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: you missed. Trump started the day by taking over Washington,

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: d C. The District of Columbia there. He's fed up

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: with all the crime there. One of his one of

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: his federal workers, who was part of doge Elon Musk,

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: hired him his young kid. His nickname was Big Balls.

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: You might remember that name floating around those stories. Young

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: guy he got savagely beaten up. I mean, the bloody

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: photo of him was all over and I guess that's

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: sent Trump off. And he's now sent in the National Guard.

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 2: He's taken over the Metropolitan Police Department more or less

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: because he can't. The District of Columbia is not a state.

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: It's complicated to explain, but basically, any president can exert

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: his will and control significant aspects of the city if

20
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: he wishes, and Washington d C. Has some very nice neighborhoods,

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: and obviously the government buildings and where the tourists go.

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: It's nice and it's fun and all that, but much

23
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: of Washington d C. As a hellhole, and those are

24
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 2: the places the tourists don't go, and those are where

25
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: the locals have to suffer. And you know, it's just

26
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,639
Speaker 2: so predictable. Trump makes an announcement today about the crime,

27
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: and immediately everybody in the media says, well, you know,

28
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: violent crime is actually down double digits since twenty twenty four.

29
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: There's been a major drop this year.

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: And you know, I start screaming, because the crime in

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: Washington DC is always really, really high, and it can

32
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: be down x percent from year to year. It's still intolerable.

33
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: It's like the homeless situation here in Los Angeles. You know,

34
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: Karen empty Head Bass can come out and tell us

35
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: that we actually homeless is down five percent. It doesn't

36
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: matter forty five thousand versus forty two thousand. Nothing you're

37
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: going to see with your own eyes. It's still a

38
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: tremendous number of homeless people that we have to deal with.

39
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: The same thing with the crime in Washington, DC. And

40
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: I'm reading the story in the La times, and it's

41
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 2: the predictable coverage. And then when you have to go

42
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: to the comments section right to get the truth, you

43
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: know you're reading a bad newspaper because somebody in the

44
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: comments section pointed out it's like, yeah, it's down. I

45
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: think violent crime is down thirty two percent. So instead

46
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: of having the highest homicide rate in the country, they

47
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: have the fourth highest homicide rate in the country. Now

48
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 2: to me, having the fourth highest rate for a year,

49
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: that's not saying, hey, the streets are free, let's go,

50
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: let's let's have a block party tonight. Yeah, we're only

51
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: number four in random deaths on the street. And that's

52
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: what's so frustrating, because they do that here in Los Angeles.

53
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: No matter what.

54
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: You say, it's like, wow, you know it's Laura that

55
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: it's been in five years. Well it's Laura, it's been

56
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: in eight year. You know, they find a year. Besides that,

57
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: the statistics are doctored. I was driving in and I

58
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: heard a US attorney who's familiar with Washington DC, and

59
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: he runs some anti crime organization, and he said, we've

60
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: already found out that in Washington, d C. They manipulate

61
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 2: the crime numbers to always make it look like it's

62
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: getting better. But you know, go talk to an uber driver,

63
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 2: talk to a taxi driver, they'll tell you what's going on.

64
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: It is easy to manipulate numbers, and they do it

65
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: all the time. Are there are no honest numbers coming

66
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: out of the government when things get really rough, they

67
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 2: just make stuff up. Classic here in California is theft

68
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: numbers are high. So what do they do. They say, well,

69
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: if it's under nine hundred and fifty dollars, it's not

70
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: a theft anymore. It's not no And then the police

71
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 2: don't show up at the target or at the cvs.

72
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: They don't show up at the seven eleven. You call

73
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: in a burglary, it's like, well, what do they steal? Well,

74
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, they just scooped up stuff off the the

75
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: order and aisle, the shaving cream isle. Oh that's not

76
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: nine point fifty now, it's not a crime, no crime.

77
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 2: So they don't show up. It's not investigated, it's not

78
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: a statistic. And that's how they do it. But you

79
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: know that, you know that they will all the time.

80
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: But you know to find out. Imagine you're in a

81
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: city where crime is down thirty two percent and all

82
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 2: the idiot officials who are doing the happy dance, and

83
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: then you find out, oh, we're still the fourth highest.

84
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Are you going out that night? You taking a walk

85
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: that night?

86
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: No?

87
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 2: So here's Trump now announcing that he's placing the DC

88
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: Metropolitan Police Department under federal control.

89
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 4: I'm announcing a historic action to rescue our nation's capital

90
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 4: from crime, bloodshed, bedlam, and squalor and worse. This is

91
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our

92
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: capital back. We're taking it back under the authorities vested

93
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: in me. It's the President of the United States. I'm

94
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 4: officially invoking Section seventy forty of the District of Columbia

95
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 4: Home Rule Act. You know what that is, and placing

96
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 4: the DC Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control. And

97
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: you'll be meeting the people that will be directly involved

98
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 4: with that. Very good people, but they're tough and.

99
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: They know what's happening, and they've done it before.

100
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 4: In addition, I'm deploying the National Guard to help re

101
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 4: establish law order of public safety in Washington, d C.

102
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: And they're going to be allowed to do their job properly.

103
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: And you people are victims of it too.

104
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 4: You know your reporters, and I understand a lot of

105
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 4: you tend to be on the liberal side, but you

106
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: don't want to get You don't want to get mugged

107
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 4: and raped and shot and killed. And you all know

108
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: people and friends of yours that happened, and so you

109
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: can be any anything you want, but you want to

110
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 4: have safety in the street.

111
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: So right, I live on the west side of LA

112
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: which is full of very liberal people. I have yet

113
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: to run into one person who's not unhappy with the

114
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: crime in LA and the homeless in LA because they

115
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: are afraid too. I don't know what kind of people

116
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: are in charge in government, but it does not represent

117
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: even normal liberal Democrats. In fact, every time there's something

118
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: on the ballot to get tough on crime, such as

119
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: Prop thirty six, what did it win by sixty eight

120
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: thirty two? These are destructive fanatics, woke progressive fanatics that

121
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: are running things in the government, amplified by woke progressive

122
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: fanatics in the media. So I was going through the

123
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: LA Time story which talks about how crime is the

124
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: homicide rate down thirty two percent in twenty twenty four. Well,

125
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: according to one of the see I had to go

126
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 2: to one of the readers, one of the commenters to

127
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: get the truth, which the Times writer didn't put in

128
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: the story. So this this commentator, he's got a handle

129
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: of g rex Dominus and DC had the fourth highest

130
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: homicide rate among US cities in twenty twenty four, according

131
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: to statistics compiled by the Center for Public Safety Initiatives

132
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: at the Rochester Institute of Technology, twenty seven point three

133
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: murders per one hundred thousand people, fourth highest. But the

134
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 2: LA Times and the other media outlets will tell you, Oh,

135
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: it's down thirty two percent. Imagine being down thirty two

136
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: percent and you're still number four. And they don't even

137
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: know why they're down thirty two percent. It's just this

138
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 2: weird things happened, or maybe they don't. They don't scoop

139
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 2: up all the debt bodies anymore, so maybe everybody's not counted.

140
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: Who knows, but they lie like hell, who's.

141
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: This writer Jenny Jarvi National correspondent Jenny Jarvi bragging about

142
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: the violent crime drop in Washington, implying that Trump is

143
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 2: being a crazy, bullying dictator again.

144
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: Oh what do you know, the nation's capital. The whole

145
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 1: world comes to visit Washington, d C.

146
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: Right, whole world comes, all of America makes at least

147
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: one trip to Washington, d C. Fourth highest homicide rate.

148
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: You tell a family coming to visit for Missouri, you

149
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: want to go to the fourth highest homicide rate in

150
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: the nation, fourth most dangerous city. Sure, mom and dad.

151
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: Now there was a strong response though, from the people

152
00:09:51,360 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: of Washington d C. The residents.

153
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: DC is our home. You can't have it.

154
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: Trump where those adults who are singing look like it

155
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: those are adults, and then they cheer themselves.

156
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: Everybody's become like an eight year old, a second grader.

157
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: What the hell, that's what you do?

158
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: You got a hellhole of the city and you start

159
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 2: singing like you're in elementary school and you're wrong.

160
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: Trump does have Washington d C. I have an idea.

161
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: Take a break and go read federal law in the constitution.

162
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: DC is not a state. They don't have senators, they

163
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 2: don't have congress people who are allowed to vote on legislation.

164
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: I think they have one alga who sits in that

165
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: they have a limited home rule. I think they call

166
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 2: it when we come back. Remember Judge Janine and she's

167
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: been on Fox News for years now. She's the US

168
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: attorney in Washington, DC, and she explains why the crime

169
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: has been so bad for so long. We'll play that next.

170

00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: They finally delivered it. Yes, open the box. I thought

183
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: it was a book.

184
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 6: I know John was opening it for me because I

185
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 6: didn't want to mess up my nail, so he was

186
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 6: being very gentlemanly like because it was it was really

187
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 6: that box was tough to open.

188
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: Its heavy cardboard, yes, and it was tough to tear

189
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: it open.

190
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Yes. And you didn't seem all that interested in the box. No,

191
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: I had no clue because you know what.

192
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 6: I asked them if they could mail it to my

193
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 6: house and they said they would, and I gave them

194
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 6: my address and I even confirmed and they said, oh, yeah,

195
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 6: the address we have and it was my home address.

196
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 6: So I was not expecting it here.

197
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: Well, you're on so much they probably thought you lived here.

198
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,480

00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: Don Now what we're doing, we're doing Trump taken over Washington, DC.

209
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: You know, I wish you would do that to la God,

210
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: that would be great. Even if you can't do it constitutionally,

211
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 2: I wish you would because where we really should be

212
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 2: at the point, after ten years, a full decade of

213
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: our lives having to deal with this degradation, come in

214
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: and just he's going to clean up the homeless in Washington, DC.

215
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 2: He's got the FBI now working overnights, overnights one hundred

216
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: and twenty FBI agents. Then he's going to the National Guard.

217
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: Then he's going to be running the Washington Metro Police Department.

218
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: And you might be saying, well, whoa what.

219
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: Look, we've given these progressive whack holes ten years.

220
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: They never they never make things better.

221
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: Everything gets worse, and it's time to say enough, no

222
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: more debate.

223
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: You get the.

224
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: Homeless off the streets, out of town, get them out

225
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: of town. You should put them in a mandatory drug

226
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 2: rehab or mental health rehab or something rehab. But enough

227
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 2: of this. Listen to Janine Piro. Judge Janine, you've seen

228
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 2: her on Fox News. She's now the US attorney in Washington, DC.

229
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: Listen to her explain what the issue is.

230
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 8: I see too much violent crime being committed by young

231
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 8: punks who think that they can get together in gangs

232
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 8: and crews and beat the hell out of you or

233
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 8: anyone else. They don't care where they are. They can

234
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 8: be in DuPont Circle, but they know that we can't

235
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 8: touch them. Why because the laws are weak. I can't

236
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 8: touch you if you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years old

237
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 8: and you have a gun. I convict someone of shooting

238
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 8: another person with an illegal gun on a public bus

239
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 8: in the chest, intent to kill. I convict him, and

240
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 8: you know what, the judge gives him probation, says you

241
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 8: should go to college. We need to go after the

242
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 8: DC Council and their absurd laws. We need to get

243
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 8: rid of this concept of a no cash fail. We

244
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 8: need to recognize that the people who matter are the

245
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 8: law abiding citizens. And it starts.

246
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: Today, but it's not going to end.

247
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 8: Today because the President is going to do everything we

248
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 8: need to do to make sure that these emboldened criminals

249
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 8: understand we see you, we're watching you, and we're going

250
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 8: to change the law to catch you. And my final

251
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 8: note is this, these kids understand that the jurisdiction is

252
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 8: through the state Attorney General Brian Schwab. I did a

253
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 8: poster of the young man from Doge who was beaten

254
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 8: bloody with a severe concussion of broken nose, and then

255
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 8: I did a poster of what happens to those kids

256
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 8: Because I can't arrest them, I can prosecute them. They

257
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 8: go to family court and they get to do yoga and.

258
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: Arts and crafts.

259
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 8: Enough it changes today.

260
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: Isn't that great to hear?

261
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: Don't you wish that they'd come to LA and make

262
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: that speech. Yeah, detention center, they're up by the age

263
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: of twenty one, and they do do yoga and arts

264
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: and crafts when they're not busy beating and raping each

265
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: other up at the juvenile detention center. Enough with the

266
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: juvenile detention center. Enough with getting them out at age

267
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: twenty one or twenty five. Even if you had murdered somebody,

268
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: you can shoot somebody in the face and be up

269
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: by twenty five.

270
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Enough of this.

271
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: It's garbage, it's nonsense. It's woke, progressive garbage and nonsense.

272
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: No civilized society has anything like.

273
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: This, And I want this here in La. I Pope.

274
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: Trump just makes up, you know, some federal executive emergency

275
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: order and says, you know what, We're coming to LA.

276
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: And arrest all these teenage gang member thucks.

277
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: You don't think the people in Encino right now would

278
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: like this, huh? After that couple got murdered in their

279
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 2: own home and all the burglaries that are going on there,

280
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 2: and these people get arrested and there's no consequences. There

281
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 2: isn't there hasn't been for ten years, started with that

282
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: idiot prop forty seven. And now that we got it,

283
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: repeated News won't to fund the changes in Prop thirty six.

284
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 2: Enough of him, enough of Kara Dash, enough of this

285
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 2: stupid city council. Washington, DC has the same kind of

286
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: city council that we do.

287
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: It's the same thing. So does New York City.

288
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 2: I cannot believe all these people that live in the cities,

289
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: especially the people who work, who make up the middle

290
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: class and the upper classes, why in hell do they

291
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: put up with this stuff? It's crazy. I have zero

292
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: compassion for all the all these criminals. I don't care

293
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: about their lives. I want them locked up, locked up,

294
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: taken out.

295
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: Enough of it, That's what I want to hear.

296
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: I want to hear somebody in Los Angeles in public,

297
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: like life, say.

298
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: Enough of it, like she did. Enough. Hey, you had

299
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: your experiments. They all failed.

300
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: People got killed, everybody you know, people getting robbed. You

301
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 2: can't walk the streets. I'll tell you how crime doesn't

302
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: get reported. I know this, uh for a fact, But

303
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 2: my wife and I got chased by some homeless guy

304
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: waving a pipe in the air.

305
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: That was a crime. Don't you think is that is

306
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: that a salt?

307
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 6: Well, it's not as salt because it didn't hit you,

308
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 6: but he could have.

309
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: I think it's as salt if you're making an attempt,

310
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: it's not battery. Okay, there's got to be a crime

311
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 2: in there. Find me a crime somewhere somewhere between assault

312
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: and bag.

313
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 6: I think if you did call the police, they they

314
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 6: will No, they wouldn't never mind.

315
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: They wouldn't come.

316
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: And if they came, I've got no proof it happened,

317
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: you know, I could point to the crazy homeless person.

318
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: In fact, it took me another like two.

319
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: Weeks to keep calling officials and get the guy removed.

320
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: He wasn't far from our house. He was a half

321
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 2: mile away. So and that's going on constantly in the city.

322
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: None of those are recorded as crimes, so they could

323
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 2: stick their their crime statistics up there. We're insh Debor Mark,

324
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: that's a nice transition, thank you.

325
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 6: He just maybe spend it, maybe add another sentence up.

326
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 2: There were ins comment Deborah Mark. Live in the Can't

327
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: Fight twenty four hour news Center.

328
00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI.

329
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: Let's get Joe Khalil on from News Nation in Washington,

330
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: d C. Joe was covering all the excitement this morning

331
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 2: when Donald Trump came out and basically took over, took

332
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: over the city, took over the police department, sitting in

333
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: the National Guard because he's sick of the crime and

334
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 2: the homelessness and everything else in the city. Joe, Oh,

335
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: hold on, we're still trying to make a connection here.

336
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: He put the DC Police Department under direct federal order

337
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: and the National Guard will be there. He says, We're

338
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: going to rescue Washington from crime, bloodshed, bedlaman squalor. It's

339
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 2: a wonderful law firm. Hey, Joe, how are you good?

340
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: How you doing?

341
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm good. Well, what's going on there?

342
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 7: Well, President Trump has made the decision that they were

343
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 7: going to federalize the Washington, DC Metro Police Department. So

344
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 7: this is actually something he does have the authority to. Typically,

345
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 7: you needed approval.

346
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: This is a.

347
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 7: Thirty day temporary thing, you know, most of the time.

348
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 7: We're going to see how this goes. And we've been

349
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 7: talking to some people in DC, hearing from some DC officials,

350
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 7: Mayor Bowser. Surprisingly, the mayor seemed to be a bit

351
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 7: more okay, let's work together. She wasn't, you know, defiant

352
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 7: in any way. They've been pointing out However, that crime

353
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 7: is historically down in DC, down significantly from just last year.

354
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 7: When we talk about serious crimes, violent crimes across the board,

355
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 7: they are down. Nonetheless, this is happening, I can tell you.

356
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 7: Maybe not surprisingly, the people who live in d C,

357
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 7: about ninety nine percent of them who we've spoken to today,

358
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 7: are not happy and think this is a bit of

359
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 7: an overreach by the president.

360
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen crime is down, but it's still at

361
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: a very high level. I mean, Washington just dropped from

362
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: first to fourth among violent crime, and I would think

363
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: if people are experiencing that level, even if it's reduced,

364
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 2: not saying they want Trump to come in, but the

365
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: people must be upset with what day to day life

366
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: is like.

367
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, so, you know, we've spoken to a

368
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 7: couple of business owners in basically a couple of square

369
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 7: blocks where there have been reported a ton of crime,

370
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 7: you know, whether it's property crime or you know, after

371
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 7: other things, and there have been shooting in the area

372
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 7: that today. So a lot of business owners have said

373
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 7: things like, you know, yeah, they see it, they've experienced

374
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 7: crime here. Many of them just feel that they have

375
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 7: a good working relationship with Metro police and sort of

376
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 7: question whether it's necessary to have, you know, national guard

377
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 7: on the streets. We've heard a lot of people talk

378
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 7: about that as they see a bit of a Jurassic move.

379
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 7: On the other hand, what you're talking about, I mean,

380
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 7: it is absolutely relevant a drop in crime in a district,

381
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 7: in a city where crime is already high, where the

382
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 7: murder rate is relatively high compared to the rest of

383
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 7: the country. You know, we've actually had some business owners

384
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 7: say they feel like there are some shortages in the

385
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 7: police force themselves, and so you know, maybe this is

386
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 7: making up that gap. Although again some of those business owners,

387
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 7: even acknowledging all of that, still said they feel kind

388
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 7: of uncomfortable with federal agents policing their streets. So, you know,

389
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 7: let's see how this plays out and what it actually

390
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 7: looks like in practice over the next couple days and weeks.

391
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 2: I did hear part of the press conference with the

392
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 2: mayor Muriel Bowser, and she was very measured in what

393
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: she was saying. She was not overtly hostile to this.

394
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 7: She wasn't and it's been really interesting to watch her

395
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 7: in the I mean, ever since January when Trump was

396
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 7: inaugurated for the second time, he's taken that tone several

397
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 7: different occasions. And I think for a city as progressive

398
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 7: as d C, I mean, it's no secret, right voters

399
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 7: have overwhelmed Lay by margin. I think ninety percent voted

400
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 7: against Donald Trump twice. Right, I mean, there's no secret

401
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 7: about politically where the city is. But she from the

402
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 7: beginning has been I would say, conciliatory honestly to the President.

403
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 7: She has sought out every opportunity to work with him.

404
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 7: She's done several press conferences and events alongside him. They've had,

405
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 7: you know, sort of very cordial words shared amongst each other.

406
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 7: And that's what it was today was Okay, well, we

407
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 7: don't agree with this. We think the crime has been

408
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 7: going down. We're making progress in DC. However, the president

409
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 7: has the authority to do it. Let's work with the administration.

410
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 7: She actually also said she wants to set up a

411
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 7: meeting with the Attorney General Pam BONDI. So we didn't

412
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 7: really hear anything that was again overtly political or defiant

413
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 7: or critical critical in any way of President Trump. I

414
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 7: certainly didn't hear that in tone, or in tenor at

415
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 7: all from Mayor Bowser to that.

416
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 2: All the progressive voters. Voters don't don't they want to

417
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: live in a peaceful environment too. I don't understand why

418
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: this is a political issue. I mean, we're talking serious crime,

419
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 2: violent crime. Doesn't everybody want that?

420
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm sure. I mean I think everybody here, you

421
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 7: know again, I'm just we as we make our way

422
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 7: up and down a couple of blocks here, yeah, they

423
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 7: all want to see that. They all want to make

424
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 7: sure that their streets are safe. You know, I think they.

425
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 7: I think what the complaint that we've heard is just,

426
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 7: you know, is it can we do that with the

427
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 7: existing Metro police department? Now? Can we do that with

428
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 7: partnership with the federal government, whether that's you know, I

429
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 7: don't know, funding or more aggressive prosecutors. The prosecutors here

430
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 7: in d C Are appointed by the president, which is

431
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 7: unique in DC because it's not, you know, its own state.

432
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think people, I don't think anyone questions

433
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 7: you know that there there is certainly crime here, that

434
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 7: it is a it is a city that has its

435
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 7: its fair share, no doubt. I think that the questions come,

436
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 7: you know, as is this the best way to go

437
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 7: about it? And I mean I think maybe the proof

438
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 7: will be in the pudding. I think we'll see if

439
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 7: there's a drastic reduction in crime from the next thirty

440
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 7: forty days, you know, I think we'll see some display

441
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 7: results and if it, you know, also maybe contributes to

442
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 7: tension in the city because people don't like seeing National

443
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 7: Guard troops. I think we're gonna we'll be reporting on

444
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 7: that as well if that happens. So again, I think

445
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 7: we'll what's the how it plays out.

446
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: What's a homeless situation like there?

447
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: Because Trump talked a lot about that about getting the

448
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: ever all the homeless people ejected off the streets.

449
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, so, you know, DC, if you drive a couple

450
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 7: of blocks from the White House, I mean if you

451
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 7: get off the main highways and you go from the

452
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 7: highways over to the White House or the Capitol, you

453
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 7: know you're going to see that there are some pockets,

454
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 7: there are some areas where you find tent encampments. And

455
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 7: that's a President Trump was talking about as he was saying,

456
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 7: you know, there are world leaders that come and visit

457
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 7: the White House, and on their way here from an airport,

458
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 7: you know they're going to see the nation's capital, the

459
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 7: greatest economy that's ever existed in the history of the world,

460
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 7: they're going to see homeless encampments on their way to

461
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 7: visit the White House. He's clearly bothered by that image.

462
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 7: So that's the sort of refrain that we've continued to

463
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,119
Speaker 7: hear from the President in this sort of push to

464
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 7: you know, fedilize the local police department here. He talked

465
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 7: about that being a big priority for them. So again,

466
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 7: what that looks like, we don't know. We've heard from

467
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 7: homeless advocates that their shelters are essentially at capacity at

468
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 7: this point, so they've been pushing Mayor Bowser and others

469
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 7: to open up new shelter space to build more homes.

470
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 7: It is a problem, certainly in DC, and it's hard

471
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 7: not to notice that problem.

472
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: All right, very good, Thank you, Joe. Joe Khalil News

473
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: Nation one of the best cable news channels out there.

474
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 2: You should watch it in Washington in DC today. Thank

475
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: you for coming on, Joe.

476
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me.

477
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: All right, Joe Khalil.

478
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just looking every you know, there's different

479
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: organizations that compile statistics, and they have different sources for

480
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: the statistics, and Washington is way up there no matter

481
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: where you look on the list. You know, its exact

482
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: placement may vary, but my plane is is that people

483
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: get used to things that they should never have gotten

484
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: used to. As far as I'm concerned, there's no excuse

485
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 2: for every city to have a crime rate, like let's

486
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: say Thousand Oaks or Irvine. You know how we hear

487
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 2: about America's safest city, and it's invariably it's a nice

488
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: suburban town. You know here in southern California. I know

489
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: Thousand Oaks was one of those cities. Irvine has been

490
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: one of those cities, and it's like it simply, and

491
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: I know this from being a burbank. They just don't

492
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 2: put up with anything. And what we should have is

493
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 2: lots of police. They get the violent guys, the bad guys,

494
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: the lunatics, and you put them away for a long

495
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 2: time and no more probation, no more diversion programs, no more.

496
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: You kill somebody and you go to juvenile detention until

497
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 2: you're twenty one or twenty five, and then you get out.

498
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: Simply put them away, arrest them, high bail, quick trial.

499
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: If you're guilty, gone and you don't get out for

500
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: a while. That's what you that's what you gotta have

501
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: just stop putting up with it. A lot of the

502
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: problems we're dealing with is because the general public it's

503
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: like Stockholm syndrome. And then finally Trump does something traumatic,

504
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: it's like, well, we can handle it, maybe we needed

505
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: a little hob No, you can't handle it. So why

506
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: send in the National Guard here to La during the riots?

507
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 2: Right because there are blocks of cement crashing through patrol

508
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: cards on the one oh one.

509
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: No, they couldn't handle it.

Speaker 2: there was a passer jam Peter Nwynn.

524
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: Who violated that rule.

525
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 2: Here's what happened with a flight attendant.

526
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: But I was actually sitting on the toilet and you

527
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,760

Speaker 8: Okay, still be.

532
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 4: On your record.

533
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 5: Not allowed to do that.

534
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: To put your hands on me, she just the thing

535
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: to say. This is classic, like the guy looks young

536
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 2: in his twenties, classic for that generation.

537
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: He breaks the rule. I think it's against the law,

538
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: federal law to do that.

539
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: She barges in on him, and he pulls out his

540
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 2: phone to record her, like she's doing something wrong. Her

541
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: job depends on making sure nobody's vaping or smoking in

542
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 2: the plane. And of course he turns it around and

543
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: he's got a phone. It's most obnoxious behavior in the

544
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: world where you see people pull out their phones like

545
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 2: it's some kind of shield, like it's some kind of weapon.

546
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: You stupid jackass. You're you're vaping in a plane. She's

Speaker 2: She tried to drop my boat's Yes, but she put

551
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: her hands on me.
