1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app BRON every day from

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: one until four o'clock. Every day after four o'clock, you

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: can listen to the podcast John Cobel Show on demand,

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: So if you miss something in the next three hours

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: after four, you get to catch up. We have two

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,760
Speaker 1: big wins, at least two big wins for the moment

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: happened in the last twelve hours. Number One, we're going

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: to talk to Kevin Kylie, the California Congressman, in just

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: a moment. Number one is that Trump the administration officially

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: cut off four billion dollars to the California High Speed Rail.

12
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: So that's it for federal funding. That's done, a done deal. Secondly,

13
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: and we'll get to this later in the hour. Yesterday

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: I told you about a Senate bill that was going

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: to empower the City of Los Angeles to buy up

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: burned lots in the Palace Ades and put low income

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: housing on those lots. Well, that was a firestorm, and

18
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: the Senator who authored the bill, Ben Allen of Santa Monica,

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: has pulled it at pulled it back, and they're going

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: to rework it and try to launch it again in January.

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: Two big wins. But you have to shout and kick

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: and scream. Let's talk to Kevin Kylie now, Northern California Congressman, Kevin,

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: how are you so great?

24
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: Thanks? John.

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: The Trump administration has cut off the four billion dollars

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: in federal money for the high speed rail. Newsom immediately says,

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: it's illegal. What's what's illegal about it? What do you

28
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: think he's getting at.

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: There's nothing illegal about it. California got this money to

30
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 2: build a train, a high speed rail system. They took

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: the money and didn't build a high speed rail system.

32
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: So the Department of Transportation did a compliance review. It

33
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: was very thorough and it came to that conclusion that

34
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: the state was out of compliance with the terms of

35
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: this federal grant. That indeed, there's no viable path forward

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 2: for the project, and therefore the state loses those funds

37
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: for this project. We're actually advocating for them to be

38
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: redeployed for real infrastructure, real transportation needs, and there will

39
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: be no federal funding going forward.

40
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: You would think that if you got I don't know

41
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: how many bills they've spent about seventeen billion dollars. I

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: think over the last seventeen years that when somebody blows

43
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: the whistle and say, hey, there's no train, there's no train, tracks,

44
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: there's no nothing, it has some humility and say, yeah,

45
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: you're right, we didn't produce anything useful. I mean, you

46
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 1: do have to produce a training, you have to produce tracks.

47
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: Well exactly, and they have not laid an inch of

48
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: track in seventeen years. They have, as you said, spent

49
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 2: seventeen billion dollars. By the way, the project was supposed

50
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: to be done in twenty twenty. So five years ago,

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: we were supposed to have a functional high speed train

52
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: from La to San Francisco by the year twenty thirty.

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: We were supposed to have one hundred million riders a year.

54
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 2: Now the most ambitious plans are to have you know,

55
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 2: at system from Bakersfield to Mercet by twenty thirty three,

56
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: and it looks like they're going to miss that deadlck.

57
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm just going to stop you saying that wasn't a joke.

58
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: That really was the projection one hundred million projection Sean,

59
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: I think it was Sean Duffy in the statement they

60
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 1: put out said, for the one hundred and thirty five

61
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: billion that this thing is projected to cost, you could

62
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: buy every San Francisco and LA resident two hundred rides

63
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: on a plane.

64
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: Right exactly. I mean, if you look at even what

65
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: they're saying right now, the head of high speed Rail

66
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: came out with this very very ambitious plan. He said

67
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: by the year twenty forty five, so twenty years from now,

68
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 2: he's hoping to have it built out from Palmdale to Gilroy.

69
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: So if you look at how you then actually make

70
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: the trip from LA to San Francisco, you'd actually have

71
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: to use two other transit systems in addition to high

72
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 2: speed rail for an overall trip of six hours, using

73
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: three transit systems to travel a distance that you could

74
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 2: travel today from you know, on Southwest airlines for like

75
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars in one hour.

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: Now, did these guys know how foolish this is right

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: to announce what was it, Palmdale to Gilroy?

78
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, that's literally what they're come out and says,

79
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: this is a big you know, everything goes perfectly, that's

80
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: what we'll have in twenty years.

81
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 1: Well, and right now they're pushing jes for Baker's Field

82
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: to Mercette, right, and.

83
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: They're going to miss that deadline twenty thirty three. That'll

84
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: by all invocations.

85
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't understand. How could grown men with college degrees

86
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: and responsible jobs make these public statements and not expect

87
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: the world to laugh at them and eventually they have

88
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: the money pulled? Yeah? I mean yeah, I don't understand.

89
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: Are they are they? Are they trolling us? Is this

90
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: a prank?

91
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: I feel like it's more nefarious than that. In fact,

92
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 2: one of the things that I want now now that

93
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 2: we have this DOT investigation that's been done, is I

94
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: think the FBI need is a look to take a

95
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: look at this as well and look at where the

96
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: money actually went and if there was any malfeasance involved.

97
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: There was several audits done and I remember one of

98
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: the audits and I forget which agency did it. They

99
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: discovered that there was no paperwork that they couldn't tell

100
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: you where the money went. It just the evidence dried up.

101
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: It was spent, but they don't know who's spent it

102
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: and on what and who received.

103
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: The rank exactly exactly we don't. I mean, seventeen billion

104
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: dollars is apparently vanished into thin air without building anything,

105
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: so that this is a lot of questions, right.

106
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: It's like the homeless money too. It's the same thing. Yeah,

107
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: and this and this and the same issue too in

108
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: La here the homeless money disappeared and again they can't

109
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: track it. There's like two billion missing, right, and they

110
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: don't know where it went and what for. And I

111
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: remember Elon Musk found the same thing when he was

112
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: doing is a doje on it that there was a

113
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: lot of money spent, but where it was suplished to

114
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: go was left blank on the electronicity.

115
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: Almost ness to the skyrocketed.

116
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it just seems there's like a lot

117
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: of theft here.

118
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: Exactly. It's which is why you know, I think that

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: we need to get the FBI involved in this particular project.

120
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: And by the way, I have a bill that we're

121
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: still going to try to get through soon that we'll

122
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: say that we're going to deny federal funding for this

123
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 2: project in perpetuity so that you can't have some other

124
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: administration that'll come in and suddenly, you know, start resume

125
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: resume funding, because then you know, the state will point

126
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: to that possibility to say, oh, well, we just need

127
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: to wait out the Trump administration. Well, no, we need

128
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: to make it a matter of statutory law that this program,

129
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: that this project is ineligible for any further federal funding.

130
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: You spent a lot of time in the lad obviously

131
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: in Congress. Now did you ever have any conversations with

132
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: any of the Democrats supporting this Did you get the

133
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: sense that the new scam was being pulled here, that

134
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: money was being stolen? Or are they really wild eyed

135
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: true believers. I always wonder are they kidding or are

136
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: they just going through this theatrical cover up of massive theft.

137
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: You know, honestly, a lot of the Democrats don't like

138
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: it either, and I've had a number of them even

139
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: here in DC, come up and tell me that. So

140
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: there's just a lot of pressure not to be too

141
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: vocal about that. But I can tell you there are

142
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: actually a lot of Democrats at both the state and

143
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: federal level who would breathe a big sigh of relief

144
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: if this project went away.

145
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: Well, it makes everybody look so foolish.

146
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: It does exactly it's become. It makes our state look foolish.

147
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: It is a massive embarrassment to our state. It's the

148
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: biggest infrastructure failure in United States history, and it has

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: become just this sort of searing symbol for all that

150
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: has gone so catastrophically wrong in California.

151
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: All right, good talking with your good work, Kevin Kylie,

152
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: and get that bill passed. Let's put the nail in

153
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: this thing for good forever, all right, Kevin Kylie, Republican,

154
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: Northern California Congressman. We'll tell you more about this when

155
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: we come back. Newsom has some really hysterical quotes that

156
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: he unleashed from a guy who tried himself to cancel

157
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: this project back in twenty nineteen after he first became governor.

158
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: Somebody got to him. Some money is flown somewhere.

159
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

160
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 3: six forty.

161
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: It is a great day because the Trump administration has

162
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: cut off funding to high speed rail. There were still

163
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: four billion dollars in the pipeline and they're not paying

164
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: because and somebody ought to break this to an old slickhead,

165
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: you haven't built a railroad. And he's acting all outraged,

166
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: Oily Newsome. Trump wants to hand and as usual, it's

167
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: a stream of non sequiturs and nonsense. Trump wants to

168
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: hand China the future. You're building a train from Bakersfield

169
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: to Merced. You cancel the train, and now China has

170
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: the future. Well, what's that mean? And he's abandoning the

171
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: Central Valley. We won't let him. The train should not

172
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: even be going through the Central Valley. The train ought

173
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: to be going down Interstate five. That is the most direct,

174
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: shortest route between San Francisco and Los Angeles. If you

175
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: were to do this, that would be the logical route.

176
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: It had no business winding into the Central Valley. That

177
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: that whole concept was absurd from the start. Then he's

178
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: got a new verbal tick. Every time he gets criticized,

179
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: he quotes some obscure statistic or fact about either Florida

180
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: or Texas, because lots of people from California have left

181
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: for those two states, and a lot of businesses have

182
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: left for those two states. Both states have zero taxes,

183
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: Both states have much less regulation. It's an easier life.

184
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: Both states don't have tens of thousands of homeless people

185
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: teaming in the big cities. They're run properly. They're run

186
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: the way states ought to be run. They're not perfect.

187
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: Bad things happen there, but at a day to day basis,

188
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: you get to keep your money, it's easier to run

189
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: your businesses, and you do not have to deal with

190
00:10:55,160 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: all the bizarre human dysfunction that you get, like in

191
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles with all the crazy vagrants and mental patients.

192
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: So Newsom went on in the statement, with projects like

193
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: the Texas High Speed Rail failing to take off. I

194
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: don't know anything about it, but my tax money isn't

195
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: going for Texas High Speed Rail. That's their problem. Our

196
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: tax money, your tax money for the last seventeen bleeping' years,

197
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: has gone to this boondoggle. It started with Schwartzenager. This

198
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: is not a partisan thing. Both parties contributed to this idiocy.

199
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: This was pushed by Schwarzenager during his administration, and then

200
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: Jerry Brown and then Newsom. So this has been a

201
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: total failure. Every dollar spent, all seventeen billion of them wasted.

202
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: Newsom goes on to say, we're now in the track

203
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: laying phase. Yeah, go show me where the track's been laid.

204
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: Nobody can seem to find it. It's imaginary, invisible track.

205
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: And even if they laid all the track, what do

206
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: you got at the end of it? You got Bakersfield

207
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: to Mercede. Technically, from what I understand, it's Wastco to

208
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: Madera because the train stations are outside Bakersfield, and your said,

209
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: but let's call it the Bakersfield and merced metropolitan areas,

210
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: if there is such a thing California, he goes on

211
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: in his statement, is putting all options on the table

212
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: to fight this illegal action. Only in his empty, greasy head.

213
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: Can you not deliver a product for seventeen years and

214
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: then scream it's illegal when the other side says, you

215
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: know what, we're not paying for this anymore. A magine.

216
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: Imagine you paid a contractor to build a house and

217
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: seventeen years later there's still no house. You'd say, I'm

218
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: not paying you anymore. Right, I can't think of anything.

219
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't think of anything analogous to a

220
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: seventeen year project where you get no deliverable product. Nothing.

221
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: Do you think at the movie studios, if there was

222
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: some producer who was making a movie for seventeen years,

223
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: they'd keep writing them checks to keep the movie going,

224
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: even if they had a contract. They and I'm sure

225
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: a Newson would admit this, but they must have blown

226
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: through all kinds of deadlines. All kinds of checkpoints. You

227
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: don't get a blank unlimited a blank check with unlimited

228
00:13:54,679 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: time to complete a project. And he knows this. I'm

229
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: gonna be redundant here. But he's lying. He compulsively lies,

230
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: acts outraged, acts indignant. I know there's a lot of

231
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: people in Sacramento that listen to the show. Listen to

232
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: the podcast, because I see the Sacramento numbers, and it's

233
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: got to be a lot of people in government on

234
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: the staff, and maybe Newsome in his staff listens. Guys,

235
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: stop the lying. Your your boss looks like a buffoon

236
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: every day to most people, an absolute fool. You should

237
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: be embarrassed. Usually we make fun of spokes holes because

238
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: they say ridiculous things. Newsom doesn't need an asinine spokeshole.

239
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: I've never seen somebody say so many asenine things many

240
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: times a day, every day, And for some reason, he's

241
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: doing it with more frequency now because he can't stay

242
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: off the podcasts. We were playing little Clips the other day.

243
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: He actually spent four hours on some guy's podcast, four

244
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: hour hours, much of it incoherent. I do not know

245
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: what kind of weird cult he has created people who

246
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: support him and work for him, you know, get it's

247
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: like that woman who swooned for him in South Carolina.

248
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: And by the way, i'm i'm I'm blaming women for

249
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: his existence because his voting he gets so many female votes. Well,

250
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: there's something wrong there. Again, it's your people. I'm sure

251
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: plenty of men vote for him too. Yeah, but he

252
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: gets the real boost from female voting. And then they

253
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: have a new stooge. What's this guy's name, chowdry H chowderhead.

254
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah. Ian chowdre is The new high speed

255
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: rail project CEO. Kevin Kyleigue was quoting him as saying,

256
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: you know, by twenty forty five, we're gonna be able

257
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: to go from Palmdale to Gilroy. Can you imagine twenty

258
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: years from now, you're gonna drive to Palmdale, get on

259
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: a train, and when you wake up from your little

260
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: train nap. Wow, Look it's Gilroy. Everybody garlic festival at

261
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: the stink of garlic. I'll wake you up as you

262
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: pull into the station. God. This yeah, final, final thing.

263
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: New should be spending a billion dollars of your gas

264
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: tax money on this high speed rail this year and

265
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: every year thereafter. So one of the reasons you're paying

266
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: expensive gas is to fund this absurdity, and the people

267
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: who have been running this absurdity have been stealing the money.

268
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: We have felonsinals involved in all these operations, whether it's

269
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: this or the homeless industry. And Kylie is right, the

270
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: FBI ought to be investigating this since they obviously used

271
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: federal money. There should be a massive federal investigation and

272
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: these guys should be forced to do the Purp Walk,

273
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: handcuffed and dragged into state prisons. They should be charged

274
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: with everything they're criminals. More coming up, Well, will we

275
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: come up this other amazing corrupt story here in La

276
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: where they tried the sacrament of legislature tried to give

277
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: the city of La the power to buy up burned

278
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: out lots so they could but they could put low

279
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 1: income housing instead of the homes that the Palisades residents

280
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: want to rebuild. And no, La Times, it's not a

281
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. Nice try.

282
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI forty.

283
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: We are on every day from one until four o'clock

284
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: and then after four o'clock. Whatever you miss John Cobelt's

285
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: show on demand on that iHeart app and we had

286
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: Kevin Kyleie on in the first half hour. So if

287
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: you're joining us now, you already missed a little celebration.

288
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: Trump administration has pulled all the funding for the high

289
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: speed rail. That's four billion dollars that's not coming to

290
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: be wasted on high speed rail. And Newsom is squealing

291
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: like a little piggy, claiming it's illegal. He's got incredible nerve.

292
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: They didn't produce any trains and any track for seventeen

293
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: years when the whole thing was supposed to be done

294
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: five years ago. And now he's pissed off that the

295
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: Feds are pulling funding. And I will keep reminding you

296
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: some of your gas taxs' do you pump gas today

297
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: on your way home? Going to do a fillip? Some

298
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: of that money As the as the gas pump spins round, round,

299
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: round round, you see the price going higher, higher, higher, higher.

300
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: Some of that is going for high speed rail. But hey,

301
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: look at all the fools we had that keep electing

302
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: these people. Okay, on another front, another win. All these

303
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: wins are temporary State Senator Ben Allen, this schmuck from

304
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: Santa Monica. I don't think he's a Republican or a Democrat.

305
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: I think it be lungs to the schmuck party. He's

306
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: popped up before with stupid stuff and I forget what, Ah,

307
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: they're all idiots. He produced Senate Bill five point nine,

308
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: and this would create something called the Resilient Rebuilding Authority,

309
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: which is a suspicious name right from the start. And

310
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: the story was that it would empower the empower that's

311
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: the word you like to use. Empower the city of

312
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to buy a up some of the burned

313
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: out lots. And then the way some people read the bill,

314
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: it's like they could put they could put low income

315
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: housing where residents' homes used to be. Now. The La

316
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 1: Times ran a story conspiracy theories thwart rebuilding plan. Conspiracy theories. Well,

317
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of context here. Number one context is

318
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: Karen Bass has released very few permits after she promised

319
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: and Gavin nwsoon promised that all the red tape would

320
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:47,479
Speaker 1: be cut, everything would be streamlined, Permits would come out fast,

321
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: and people would be able to rebuild the palisades exactly

322
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: as it was. That's what they said, That's what they promised,

323
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: and six months later, few permits, cumbersome process, same old

324
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: red tape, even more red tape, and hardly any homes,

325
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: you know you hardly ground has hardly been broken it

326
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: on any homes. And there's seven thousand that were destroyed

327
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: in the Palisades. So this is something like Ben Allen

328
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: and this writer for The Times, Liam Dillon, ought to understand.

329
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: Nobody believes anything you say. Nobody trusts you, Nobody believes

330
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: anything that you write. They don't believe anything that the

331
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 1: La Times publishes. The reason the people at Palisades are

332
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: in this fix is because because the mayor ignored the loudest,

333
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: most detailed, most descriptive fire warnings that anybody's ever seen

334
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: in the history of weather, and she ran off to Ghana. Anyway,

335
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: they don't believe you because all the employees at the

336
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: DWP none of them filled up the reservoir. All the

337
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: employees for the city and the DWP, none of them

338
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: fixed the fire hydrants. All the employees that the DWP,

339
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: none of them turned off the electrical power. The fire

340
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: department is only fifty percent funded, the police department is

341
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: about two thirds funded, and we see Karen Bass promising

342
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: to shovel tax money to illegal aliens. Nobody's believing you

343
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: because you're a bunch of liars and you're a bunch

344
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: of criminals. The jig is up on this stuff. We

345
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: know you're lying, we know your criminals. We know you

346
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: have no intention of building the Palisades the way it

347
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: used to be. You have no intention of cutting the

348
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: red tape none. So get Ben Allen apparently got a

349
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of blowback, and he pulled his bill. Going

350
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: to try to bring it back in January, he took

351
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: an existing bill, Senate Bill five point forty nine.

352
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 2: And.

353
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: In the bill, this bill originally was connected to was

354
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: connected to low income housing, and he left all the

355
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: low income housing language in the bill. Then he added

356
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: a second section to the bill about creating this agency

357
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: that could buy up burned out lots in the Palisades. Well,

358
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: if you see that, half the bill is talking about

359
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: low income housing and the other half is talking about

360
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: buying up land in the Palisades. No, it's not a

361
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory to say, huh, it looks like they're going

362
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: to buy up burned out land and put in low

363
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: income housing. Of course, Allen said, it's become this total

364
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: meme among the right wing blogsphere who unfortunately picked up

365
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: by it was picked up by some lazy ass journalists

366
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: that don't bother to read the bill that say, this

367
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: bill seeks to turn the entire Palisades into low income housing.

368
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: Nobody thinks you're going to turn the entire Palisades into

369
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: low income housing, but you certainly want to turn in

370
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: part of the Palisades into low income housing. Because again

371
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: the context of this, Kevin Newsom announced one hundred million

372
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: dollars to go to developers in the Palisades for low

373
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: income housing. That happened just a few days ago. Secondly,

374
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: Scott Wiener, that insect from San Francisco, has a bill

375
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: that's going to allow low income housing to be built

376
00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: in anybody's single family neighborhood anywhere in the state. So

377
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: if Weieder has a bill that's going to allow a

378
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: low income apartment dwellings, low income apartment towers anywhere in

379
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: the state, Newsom is spending one hundred million dollars in

380
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: state tax money to encourage developers to build low income

381
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: apartment towers. And then Ben Allen attaches to a low

382
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: income housing bill the chance for Los Angeles to buy

383
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: up lots, burned out lots I don't think it's a

384
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory on the part of the residents who think, oh,

385
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: something bad is going to happen here. This is set

386
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: up to screw over the palisades. Of course it is.

387
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: And can you imagine how densely worded and confusing the

388
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 1: whole thing is, so that anybody can make anything they

389
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: want out of the bill. There's probably all kinds of

390
00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: circuitous legal language and loopholls, so they could say publicly, oh, no, no,

391
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: nothing in the spill authorizes low income housing, and the

392
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: agency we're building low income housing on private property, non

393
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: or not. Of course they're going to say that, and

394
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: then somebody else is going to read it in a

395
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: year or two it's like, oh, of course we can

396
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, we can do that. Nobody believes you.

397
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: You're a bunch of liars and crooks. See the homeless industry,

398
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: see high speed rail. Got more on this coming up.

399
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we got to talk about LA times describing

400
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: the prejudice against low income housing. That's another good one.

401
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am

402
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 3: sixty on.

403
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: The Epstein story. After two o'clock, we're gonna have Brad

404
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: Garrett on ABC News Crime and Terrorism analysts about I

405
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: don't know, does anybody know what's going on? Nobody knows

406
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: what's going on. Involved don't know what's going on. I

407
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: got to continue here on but the despicable fake journalists

408
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: at the Los Angeles Times, I just got to quickly,

409
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, recap here. So we got a bill in

410
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: Sacramento that allows low income apartment towers in any single

411
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: family neighborhood. We got Gavin Newsom throwing one hundred million

412
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: dollars in to build low income housing in the Palisades,

413
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: which used to be mostly single family neighborhoods. And then

414
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: Ben Allen takes a bill that was originally designed to

415
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: finance low income housing, and he added this language that

416
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: creates some housing authority in Los Angeles that they could

417
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 1: buy up the burned lots. And that's the paragraph right

418
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: under the paragraph that says, here is the funding mechanism

419
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: for low income housing. And so people reacted yesterday in

420
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: the Palisades and beyond huge revolt. Everybody's angry because they're

421
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: not issuing permits. Now. It was one good bit of

422
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: news if it's true, if they follow through after all

423
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: these months. The city in the county are supposed to

424
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: use Rick Cruso's AI software project that he acquired through

425
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: his nonprofit and that should dramatically speed up the permits.

426
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Curious that it was announced yesterday. So the La Times

427
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: Liam Dillon took this angle. Conspiracy theories thwart rebuilding plan

428
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: and they talk about internet posts have preyed on fears

429
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: of neighborhood change. Well, yeah, people are afraid of their

430
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: neighborhood getting changed with low income housing. No normal person

431
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: wants that. Mistrusted government authorities check on that and prejudice

432
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: against low income housing. Oh I saw that. And again

433
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: this is Liam Dillon. Apparently this is the new woke

434
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: crime at the La Times. You can't have prejudice against

435
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: low income housing. Aha, So I'm supposed to embrace a

436
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: low income apartment tower in my nice neighborhood. You know what,

437
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 1: one of the motivations most people have to work is

438
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: so they could live in a better neighborhood, whatever they

439
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: consider a better neighborhood. You work so you could buy

440
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: a bigger house, a better house, in a better neighborhood

441
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: with people like you whatever you think that means. No,

442
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: you don't want low income housing. People who chronically are

443
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: low income, you get a certain percentage of people who

444
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of drug issues, alcohol issues, behavior issues,

445
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: mental issues. That's why they're chronically low income. Low income

446
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:10,479
Speaker 1: is also a euphemism for homeless housing. That's the lowest income.

447
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: So no, nobody wants a homeless apartment tower in their

448
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: middle class, upper middle class neighborhood. No they don't. Yes,

449
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 1: we're prejudiced against it. Yes, we're biased against this. Yes

450
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: we hate the idea of it. I use the word hate.

451
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: I hate the idea of living next to a low

452
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: income apartment tower filled with god knows what all sorts

453
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: of behavior disorders. And then some of these people with

454
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: their behavior disorders and drug addictions and alcohol addictions have

455
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: kids who have all kinds of pathologies that they act

456
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: out with. So yeah, I don't want that. Yes, I'm

457
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: a nimby. Not in my backyard, Not in my backyard,

458
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: Never in my backyard. Don't even think about it. If

459
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: you even offer a whiff of this, Ben Allen, you're

460
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,480
Speaker 1: going to get it. You are going to get a

461
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: big thrashing on the internet, in the phone calls, in

462
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: the emails, in person. Nobody wants to hear this, don't

463
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: even try in the Palisades. This first day I talked

464
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: to people about the Palisades. That's what they were afraid of,

465
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: because they knew we were run by a bunch of

466
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: communist socialists. We knew this is their lifelong wet dream.

467
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: And boom, boom boom, what did we get? Basses contribution

468
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: is no permanents permits. Newsom's contribution one hundred million dollars

469
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: for low income housing developers. Weiener's contribution, Oh, any any neighborhood,

470
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: it'll be permitted to have a low income apartment tower.

471
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: And then Ben Allen, oh, hey, here's an age of

472
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: see that will buy the burned land, the bird lots,

473
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: and it's in the same bill as low income funding.

474
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: And then Ben Allen has the nerve to say, well,

475
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: this is lazy ass journalists. The LA time says, oh,

476
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: this is conspiracy theories. No, it's not. One, two, three, four,

477
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: Bass Newsome, Wiener Allen, four pieces of the puzzle. No

478
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: homes are built in the Pacific Palisades, but we have

479
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: four different pieces of the puzzle that would lead to

480
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: a lot of low income housing. They're liars and their criminals.

481
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: This is what they do. The developers are paying off everybody.

482
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: Assembly people's, state senators, governors, mayors, city council members. The

483
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: developers are paying off. I think one of these, one

484
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: of these bills would oh, where's where's the number? There

485
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: was some some number here about forty percent forty percent

486
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: of the money was going to go for low income housing,

487
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: or forty percent of the building, something like that. This

488
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: is this is a croc and you people, and you

489
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: people in Altadena, you're gonna be hit with the same

490
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: thing in Malibu, the same thing. In fact, let me

491
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: tell you the worst one of it, all of them all,

492
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: is Wiener's bill, because Wiener would put these low income

493
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: apartment housing in every neighborhood in every town in the state.

494
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: Because these socialist communists think that poor people should have

495
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: the right to live in nice, middle class, upper middle class,

496
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: and wealthy towns, that they have the same rights to it.

497
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: They don't have to work for that privilege, they don't

498
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: have to behave they don't have to control themselves in

499
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: their addictions and their mental problems. That's what they believe.

500
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: They just won't say it that bluntly. I'm saying it

501
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: that blood, because that is why they're passing these laws.

502
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: When you get four of you in a week, four

503
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, conspiracy theory, my ass. William Dylon, all right,
