And they said, Alexander Sufer stole twenty 19 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 3: three million dollars of your tax money to enjoy a 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 3: really great life. And let's get Bill Sale on to 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 3: talk about it. Bill, I saw a video. I'm assuming 22 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 3: it's true that they were towing away his Range Rover 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 3: from the front of his Westwood home. 24 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: Yes, it's my car. Now it's the United States car. 25 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: Now we're taking that car. We're taking a lot of 26 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: his other goods. This guy, it's frankly outrageous. You have 27 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: homeless people literally dying in the street. He had contracts 28 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: to house six hundred homeless people and to feed them 29 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: three nutritious meals a day. What did he do with 30 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: the money. He used it as a down payment for 31 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: that mansion in Westwood. He bought one hundred and fifty 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: thousand dollars Range Rover, which we seized this morning. He 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: bought a vacation home in Greece for half a million dollars. 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: He went shopping at rmez Chanel, a bunch of luxury outlets, 35 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: something about like slippers, mate with goat skin or something. 36 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: I don't need really expensive stuff. 37 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a dooozy stata. 38 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: For good seasons in Maui, which is where they filmed 39 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: White Lotus. People are familiar with that show. This guy 40 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: was living the life, private tuition for his kids, living 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: the life on your dollars, your tax dollars. This is 42 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: where you know when we say, where's all this money going, 43 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: the billions billions, where's it going? It's going to guys 44 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: like him, and the state did no vetting, no checking, 45 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: no accountability, just get the money out the door. And 46 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: this is where it ends up. 47 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: What agency should have been doing the vetting. 48 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: There's so many involved. But he had contracts with LASA, 49 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: which was the LA Homeless group there. 50 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 2: That Services Association. 51 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're all implicated. There's federal, state, and local 52 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: dollars involved in this, and nobody cared. And they knew 53 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: for years this guy was not doing what he's supposed 54 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: to do. He was putting homeless people up in the 55 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: motel and was not paying the bill. So the motels 56 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: would call last and say, hey, we haven't been paid, 57 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: and they went and paid it. So they double paid 58 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: for some of this housing. They went to check, they said, 59 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: where are the meals you're serving him, the serving the homeless. 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: They found Ramen noodles and a microwave. Those were his 61 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: three nutritious meals the day. He bought Ramen noodles and 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: can bean's and a microwave, and he pocketed the rest 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: of the money. When they called him out on it, 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: he went to McDonald's and bought a bunch of fast 65 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: food very quickly when he was inspected. So blatant fraud, 66 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: and they did nothing about it. 67 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: They don't care how many years did this go on. 68 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: It went on. They knew about this since at least 69 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four when I got in. We did the 70 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: Homeless Fraud Task Force. We got in, we went and 71 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: did our own investigation, collect at our own evidence. We'll 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: give Nathan Hoffman some credit. He was elected, you know, 73 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: a year ago, and he also filed charges against this 74 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: guy today as well, so they actually have He has 75 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: a state and a federal case that he's being charged 76 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: with today. 77 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: It's so easy to do this. He had a charity 78 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: called Abundant Blessings. You gotta love that name. This was 79 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: Abundant Theft Abundant Blessings, and he had a contract with 80 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. 81 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 2: And it's that easy to do. 82 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: You fill out the forms, you sign up, signs up papers, 83 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: and they send you seven million dollars and nobody checks 84 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 3: what you did with it. 85 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: That's incredible. 86 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: It's not even a legitimate charity. The board he said 87 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 1: he had doesn't exist. We went and interviewed at the 88 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: board members. They said, we don't know anything about this. 89 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: It's not even a real charity. So but but John, 90 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: this is the problem when we're up in the legislature 91 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: and they keep budgeting billions for homeless, another billions building 92 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: body to say, wait a minute, what happened to the 93 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: billions we spent already? We don't even talk about that. 94 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: You know, the need is so high and we got 95 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: to get the money out. They don't want to have 96 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: any oversight or any ability. So either it's one of 97 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: two things. Either they don't care and they just want 98 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: the headline of spending the money on these problems and 99 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: not really caring if they get solved because they're like 100 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: perpetual issues to run on. Or two, there's people involved 101 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: who are making money off of this. And I will 102 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: commit to you right now, we're going to follow this 103 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: all the way wherever it goes. That's all I can say. 104 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: But people have to be patient. I know they want 105 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: to rest yesterday. It takes time to build these cases. 106 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 1: You work your way up, you get cooperators, you get evidence, 107 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: you get warrant. You got to work your way up. 108 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen overnight. Nothing was done before 109 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: we got here, no one was looking at anything. We're 110 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: starting from the ground up. This is our third major 111 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: arrest related to a homeless fraud in LA. 112 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: So nobody at the local level, state level, and up 113 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: till now the federal level had any interest where all 114 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: these homeless billions were going. And they've been they've been 115 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: spending this kind of money at this rate for ten 116 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: to fifteen years. 117 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: Now after your office is the first office for it, they. 118 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: Don't look for it, they don't find it. And they said, then, 119 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: you know, because if you accuse them of fraud, they 120 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: get so upset when you cuse them of fraud, they said, well, 121 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: there's just a little bit of fraud, you know, but 122 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: you're you're attacking the program, you're attacking the people that 123 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: need this help. It's they don't want to talk about 124 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: it because most of it is fraud. It's the same 125 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 1: thing they see with elections. There's no election fraud. Was 126 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: the last time they look for election fraud. They don't 127 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: even look. So they have this head to stand. 128 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: There's going to be a thousand guys like this. 129 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 3: If it's that easy, Every every bad guy in California 130 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: must know. I mean, look how they looted the unemployment 131 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 3: fund for thirty two billion dollars from fraudsters from around 132 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: the world. I think all the bad guys are very aware. 133 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: This is prime hunting ground to walk away with many millions. 134 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: It is prime hunting ground. We're going to get to 135 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 1: the bottom of it. Like I said, this is the 136 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: third major case. And the President's not wrong when he 137 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: says California is the fraud capital. This is the kingdom 138 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: of fraud. You've got thirty million, thirty billion. Sorry, you 139 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: got to start talking in billions now, thirty billion on 140 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: unemployment fraud, just handed out, no questions asked, twenty four 141 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: billion on homelessness. We got to get to the bottom 142 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: of sixteen billion on a rail, a high seed rail 143 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: with no rail. I don't know where sixteen billion went. 144 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: It goes on and on, and don't even get me 145 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: started on healthcare fraud. So when Newsom has a little 146 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: crown on his X profile, he is the king of fraud. 147 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: Newsom is the king of fraud. He reigns over the 148 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: kingdom of fraud. This is the state of fraud. 149 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: I love that he reigns over the Kingdom of fraud, 150 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 3: So is facing how. 151 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: Many of the no Kings and all this kings? He's 152 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: the King of fraud? 153 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: Super faces how long in prison if he gets convicted. 154 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: He's looking it up to twenty years in federal prison, 155 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: and in Nathan Hoffman's case, he's looking up to seventeen 156 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: years in state prison. So he's got a lot of problems. 157 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 3: I'm looking at at some of the news stories on this, 158 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: and it's said by the summer of twenty twenty three, 159 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: super had multiple loss of contracts to provide services to 160 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 3: more than six hundred alleged homeless people at multiple sites 161 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: across South LA. So multiple contracts with. 162 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: Multiple scammer because he was supposed to be leasing for 163 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: places for them to stay at. He owned the properties 164 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: he was leasing from and didn't disclose it and paid 165 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: above market rent for a lot of it. Those are 166 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: some of the scants he's running. 167 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 3: All right, I know you have more coming, so let 168 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 3: us know as soon as you have another breakthrough. 169 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 2: This one.

LASA, Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, 234 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 3: one of the most corrupt agencies on the planet, and 235 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: up until recently, the chief executives Chief executive was Valicia 236 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: Adams Kellum. Now, LASA was established in nineteen ninety three 237 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 3: joint authority between the City and the County of Los Angeles, 238 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 3: and eventually Karen Bass names Valicia Adams Kellum as lasa's 239 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 3: chief executive and she was making four hundred and forty 240 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: three thousand dollars a year, four hundred forty three thousand 241 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: dollars and according to last that's basically public radio news. 242 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: Valicia Adams Kellum engaged in major misconduct, hiring unqualified friends 243 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: into powerful positions, trying to destroy public records, and behaving 244 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 3: inappropriately at a conference. According to two whistleblower claimed letters 245 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: that LAist got a hold of, they said they were 246 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 3: wrongfully fired for speaking out against wrongdoing by Valicia Adams Kellum. 247 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 3: So LASA decided to shut them up by paying them 248 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 3: eight hundred thousand dollars of your tax money. The two 249 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: whistleblowers were telling the truth, and we had to pay 250 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars to get him to go away 251 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: and hear their names, Christina Dixon, who was the former 252 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,319 Speaker 3: chief financial administrative officer, and the former top IT and 253 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 3: data official, Emily Vaughan Henry. And that was to settle 254 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 3: the claims before they became public lawsuits. The amount of 255 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 3: money that LASSA spent on to shut up the whistleblowers 256 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 3: would have sheltered forty vagrants for a year. Adams Callum 257 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 3: was also caught steering two million dollars to a nonprofit 258 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: that her husband had a major position with, then claimed 259 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 3: she never did that until they found the paperwork with 260 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 3: her signatures. Her faults were so egregious she eventually got fired. 261 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 3: The county stepped in. But this was Karen Bass's buddy, 262 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 3: real close. I got a picture of them, their arms 263 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: locked together, and then I got to read to you 264 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: that that press release again that Heather just told us about. 265 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: This is Mayor Bass's statement. I explained everything right. Twenty 266 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 3: three million, There was no oversight. He filled out forms 267 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 3: and they shoveled twenty three million on at him, and 268 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 3: he started spending it wildly. Nobody was helped. This is 269 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 3: Bass's responsibility. She's on the board. She had this woman, 270 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 3: Valsa Adams Callum hired as the CEO while this broad 271 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: was taking place taking place. So Bass says, today, my 272 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 3: administration has zero tolerance for fraud. 273 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: Period. 274 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 5: No. 275 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 3: She and Knwsom talked the same way. Period, not period 276 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 3: full stop, but period. They like to throw in the 277 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,479 Speaker 3: punctuation points. Today she wrote, we learned that an individual 278 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 3: has been arrested on a federal criminal complaint charging him 279 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 3: with Frauduley funneling twenty three million dollars in public money, 280 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 3: praying on the most vulnerable in our city. It's despicable 281 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 3: that mister Suher lied to the city and LASSA for 282 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 3: his personal gain. It's despicable that you had a staff 283 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: at LASA who never vetted him, investigated, double checked to 284 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 3: see what was going on. You just gave him the 285 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 3: twenty three million and this went on for several years 286 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 3: and you didn't care. And this is going on in 287 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: a thousand different places. She is so full of crap. 288 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 3: She is personified. She's fraud personified Karen Bass. So is 289 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 3: Alicia Adams Kellum fraud personified. You look up a definition 290 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 3: of fraud in the dictionary. You see Adams Kellum and 291 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 3: Bass standing side by side their arms locked. This is 292 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 3: one big, gigantic scam. But go ahead vote for Karen 293 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 3: Bass for reelection. She burned down the palisades and all 294 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 3: our friends are getting rich with homeless money.

The 307 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 3: First Assistant US Attorney Bill A. Saley led the US 308 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 3: Attorney's office. Their investigators discovered Sufer had stolen twenty three 309 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 3: million dollars in homeless money from Los Angeles and it 310 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 3: turns out the money came from programs funded by Measure H. 311 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: Remember Measure H. 312 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,920 Speaker 3: That's one of those homeless taxes that all the idiots 313 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: at l LA voted for. And some of the money 314 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 3: came from Karen Bass's Inside Safe program, which she brags 315 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 3: and lies about every five minutes. So when do you 316 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 3: hear talking about inside Safe, That's where Super got the 317 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 3: money from. When you hear about measure h that's where 318 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 3: he got the money from, funneled through LASA. I'm just 319 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:13,239 Speaker 3: absolutely stunning. So we'll talk more about this. The La 320 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 3: Times has some extra details and credit to Nathan Hawkman too. 321 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 3: Hawkman did a state investigation and we got some quotes 322 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 3: from him later on. But I got to get to this. 323 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 3: This is actually a big deal because there's a lot 324 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 3: of people who are swooning over Gavin Newsom right now. 325 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: And I mean, I mean the average IQ in this country. 326 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 3: I don't know how how much more stupid does a 327 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 3: person get when they're in a state of hysteria. I mean, 328 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: you do get stupid when you get angry or you 329 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 3: get hysterical. Your IQ must drop about ten twenty points. 330 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 3: And there's this this swooning going on for Newsom being 331 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 3: Democratic presidential nominee. So there's a serious left wing magazine online, 332 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 3: The Atlantic dot com, and they have a couple of writers, 333 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: Mark Novakoff and Jonathan Chait, And Jonathan Chait is a 334 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 3: very well known, well regarded left wing writer. They're not 335 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 3: so sure about Newsom. Uh. They write that Newsom is 336 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 3: currently well. They headline Gavin Newsom's record is a problem. Yeah, 337 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 3: it's a problem. Newsom is well ahead of other candidates 338 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 3: with better name recognition, like Kamala and Pete Boda. Every 339 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 3: other Democrat is stuck in the single digits. And they 340 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 3: say a key source of his appeal is that he's electable. 341 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 3: It's easy to see while the why the party's voters 342 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 3: have such a favorable view of his political skills, it's 343 00:20:58,960 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: because they don't live here. 344 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: They like his ideological flexibility. 345 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 3: That's code for he lies a lot, and they like 346 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: his relentless mockery of President Trump. But Newsom has a problem. 347 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 3: He's been a California politician for decades and he has 348 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 3: held the state's governorship since twenty nineteen, and during his tenure, 349 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 3: the state has been a laboratory for some of the 350 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 3: Democratics party some of the Democratic Party's most politically fraught policies. 351 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: Politically fraud is a fancy way of saying wildly unpopular, like, 352 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 3: nobody likes these ideas, and it's made California less affordable 353 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 3: and more culturally radical than it used to be. Again, 354 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 3: these are two lefties and a left wing magazine writing this. 355 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 3: His record not only raises pressing questions about how effectively 356 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 3: he could governor's president. It's also providing an endless buffet 357 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 3: of vulnerabilities across social and economic issues. Again, a fancy 358 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 3: way of saying, a lot of stupid, wildly unpopular ideals, 359 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 3: ideas that have failed. And if you're running against Newsom, 360 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 3: either as a Democrat or a Republican, you've got a 361 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 3: lot of material to mine. They wrote that many of 362 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: Newsom's positions read as if they were reverse engineered from 363 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 3: Republican attack ads. California spent billions of dollars offering medicaid 364 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 3: to undocumented immigrants, and millions more on providing transgender surgeries 365 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 3: for prisoners, some of them on death row. 366 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: Whoo, that's the kaan La Harris landmine, isn't it? 367 00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 3: Transgender serious surgeries for death row prisoners? Wow, that's what 368 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 3: your text. Money's going for. What's not going to the 369 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: homeless fraudsters? Is going to cut off some murderer's penis 370 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 3: so they can install a vagina. 371 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 2: That's what I'm working for, California. 372 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 3: It says here these policies either command majority support among 373 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 3: Democratic voters or matter enormously to progressive interest groups. Yeah, 374 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 3: I think more of the latter category. I don't think 375 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 3: there's majority support among Democrats for spending money on transgender 376 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 3: surgeries for murderers on death row. Maybe I'm wrong. I 377 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,159 Speaker 3: haven't seen polling on that. Newsom could very well make 378 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 3: it through a primary for president, despite a record that 379 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 3: would repulse swing voters. Come November twenty twenty eight. Just 380 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 3: about everything people don't like about the Democratic Party has 381 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 3: come true in Newsom's California. 382 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 2: Again, these are his friends. 383 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 3: The state's long standing aversion to new construction has made 384 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 3: housing notoriously expensive. Remember the Democrats catch phrase this year 385 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: is affordability. So they're going to nominate a guy here 386 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 3: whose im median home price in California is nearly one 387 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 3: million dollars. Building multifamily housing costs more than twice as 388 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 3: much here, more than twice as much here as it 389 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 3: does in Texas, fifty percent more than it. 390 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 2: Costs in Colorado. 391 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 3: And we are one of only seven states that have 392 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: lost residents since twenty twenty forty three states have gained residents. 393 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 3: We're one of seven that lost then. And here they 394 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 3: stray into nonsense. The state's high home prices have also 395 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 3: driven a surge in homelessness, which has risen by more 396 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 3: than twenty percent since Newsom took office. That is such 397 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 3: garbage and nonsense. The people who are homeless, I see 398 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 3: them every day. They're drug addicts and mental patients. It 399 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 3: wasn't because the rent got too high. Because normal people 400 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 3: I have been in apartments when I was younger that 401 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 3: I couldn't afford anymore, roommates would move out. 402 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: What did I do. 403 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 3: I either got new roommates or moved to a cheaper apartment, 404 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 3: or I got a room in somebody's house. But I 405 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 3: wasn't mentally ill, and I wasn't a drug addict, so 406 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 3: I could figure that out. This is nonsense that homelessness 407 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 3: is caused by high housing prices. It's caused by left 408 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 3: wing administrations who have two things in common. There are 409 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 3: usually extremely permissive about allowing drug addicts and mental patients 410 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 3: to live in the streets, and they have extreme regulations 411 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 3: that drive up the cost of housing because developers can't 412 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 3: build anything anywhere. But it's not a correlation between homelessness 413 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 3: and housing. That's the big lie they try to sell. 414 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: It. 415 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 3: Says Florida issued permits for three times as many new 416 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 3: housing units than California did for every thousand residents, and 417 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 3: then they talk about Newsome pushing electric cars, trying to 418 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 3: phase out gas powered cars. Goes through the taxes highest 419 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 3: state excise tax per gallon in the country sixty one cents, 420 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 3: another fifty four cents to cover environmental regulations, another ten 421 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 3: cents that's a sales tax. It actually adds up to 422 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 3: about a buck fifty a gallon in extra taxes. 423 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: Then it goes through the high speed rail. 424 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 3: Says the state falls for the state falls hard for 425 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 3: fattish progressive policies on immigration, education, and crime that either 426 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 3: didn't work or violated the intuitions of most Americans or both. 427 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom's record is a problem, so says left wing 428 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,959 Speaker 3: journalists at a left wing magazine mark that down on 429 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 3: this date in presidential history, He's going to be a 430 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 3: bust a disaster, because California is a bust at a disaster. 431 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 3: But there'll be a lot of tongue bathing stories written too, 432 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 3: So we'll bring it all to you. 433 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,719 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 434 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 5: six forty. 435 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 2: You can follow us on social media. 436 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 3: It's John Cobelt's show at John Cobelt Radio at John 437 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 3: Cobelt Radio on all the social media platforms, but for YouTube, 438 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: you could subscribe to our YouTube videos at John Cobelt Show. 439 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 2: Go to YouTube dot. 440 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 3: Com John cobelts Show and you subscribe and then you'll 441 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 3: get a notification whenever we put up something new. I 442 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 3: think we told you at the time. And this comes 443 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 3: up often that well, obviously everybody in government at every level, 444 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 3: from both parties, they constantly lie a lot and are 445 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 3: the peak lying season was during COVID. There was a 446 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 3: colossal amount of nonsense coming from not just political people, 447 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 3: but unfortunately a lot of medical people, a lot of 448 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: people who were really well educated and they had doctorates mds, 449 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 3: and they just lied, made stuff up, exaggerated, were. 450 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 2: Wrong all of it. 451 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 3: And I always said, it's like, you know what, three 452 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 3: years and five years, we'll find out the truth. And 453 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 3: here we are, almost six years after the great lockdown 454 00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: started and we're finding out the truth. Well, I'm going 455 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 3: to play for you is the former CDC director, doctor 456 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 3: Robert Redfield, who was in the midst of it during 457 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 3: the COVID outbreak, and you're going to hear him here. 458 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 3: He spoke at the Heritage Foundation, and you may be 459 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 3: surprised to learn that the COVID vaccine, well, the mandatory 460 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 3: COVID vaccine, well, it should not have been mandatory and 461 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 3: was not really a vaccine. Play cup five. 462 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 6: The problem is not the science of creating the vaccine. 463 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 6: The problem was the public policy and how to use 464 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 6: the vaccine. The vaccine should have never been mandated. It 465 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 6: wasn't never meant to prevent transmission. It didn't prevent transmission. 466 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 6: Probably was a misnomer to call it a vaccine. It's 467 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 6: really more like a medicine. It doesn't stop infection. Children 468 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 6: should have never been vaccinated. People shouldn't have been mandated 469 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 6: to be vaccinated to go to school and work. So 470 00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 6: the policy side was totally misplayed. I know the vaccine 471 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 6: came out on fourteenth December, and I was out of 472 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 6: office on January twentieth, so unfortunately I had very little 473 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 6: influence on the policy. But I did argue that it 474 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 6: should be a vaccine that we should use for the vulnerable, 475 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 6: but put it in the nursing homes, put it in 476 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 6: and insisted living don't mandate this vaccine didn't belong in children. 477 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 6: So a lot of overreach and as a consequence, the 478 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 6: mRNA was a new technology. It hadn't you know, we 479 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 6: don't know all of the potential negative consequences. I'll say 480 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 6: this briefly because I see the timer when I give 481 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 6: you an mRNA vaccine, and I've talked to the FDA 482 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 6: and others about this. When I give you an mRNA vaccine, 483 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 6: I don't know how much spike protein you make. I 484 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 6: turn you into a spike protein factory. I think the 485 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 6: FDA should know how much protein do you make? And 486 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 6: I don't know how long you make it. I think 487 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 6: we ought to know how long do you make it? 488 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 6: And I don't know the volume of distribution of it 489 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 6: in your body. I think we should know all of 490 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 6: those things. 491 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 3: Great, after we all took it, a lot of us 492 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 3: mandated or you couldn't work and your kids had to 493 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 3: take it. 494 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 2: And now he. 495 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 3: Tells us well that that vaccine shouldn't be called should 496 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 3: not have been called a vaccine, wasn't really a vaccine. 497 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 3: It was it was medicine, and it never was meant 498 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 3: to prevent transmission because it doesn't, so it shouldn't have 499 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 3: been mandated. It wasn't really a vaccine. It didn't prevent transmission. 500 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 3: And when they injected it.
