1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 2: I am six forty. 3 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 3: We're on every day from one until four o'clock and 5 00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 3: if you miss anything, the podcast John Cobelt on demand 6 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,319 Speaker 3: and you listen to that and it had it's the 7 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 3: whole radio show. It's the podcast and the radio show 8 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 3: are exactly the same. The podcast just moves faster and 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 3: we will be uh. We've got two rounds of the 10 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 3: moistline coming up in the three o'clock hour and we're 11 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 3: going to start it. Is this really is the year 12 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 3: that the dam burst when it came to uncovering fraud 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 3: and waste on all levels of government, especially here in California. 14 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 3: It's something that the story we got in bits and pieces. 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 3: There was a lot of evidence where you could surmise 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: that there's massive fraud in things like the homeless industry, 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 3: the illegal alien industry, and these things are industries. And 18 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 3: then when Gavin Newsome extended medical health benefits to all 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: the illegal aliens in the state, the amount of money 20 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:16,279 Speaker 3: that's been wasted on that program is tremendous. And doctor 21 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: Mema Oz, Doctor Oz who's now running the Medicare and 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 3: Medicaid Services Agency has done audits and he announced on 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 3: x yesterday that they have uncovered over one point eight 24 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 3: billion dollars in unlawful federal Medicaid spending. This is non 25 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,679 Speaker 3: emergency healthcare for illegal aliens. It is against the law 26 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 3: to give illegal aliens federal money for healthcare except in 27 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: an emergency case. Federal law prohibits using Medicaid dollars for 28 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 3: anything other than emergency care for illegal aliens. Now, states 29 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 3: can fund their use their own money to fund a 30 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: legal alien health care, but they have to prove that 31 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 3: no federal funds are involved, no money laundring, no moving 32 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 3: money around. So it looks like state money, but it's 33 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: really federal money and nuisance administration could never provide the 34 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: proof that it wasn't federal money. Do you know how 35 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 3: many illegal aliens are getting free healthcare in this state? 36 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 3: And before I give you the answer to that, maybe 37 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: you can calculate in your head what does it cost 38 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: you for your health insurance? 39 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 2: How much are you paying too much? Yeah? What are 40 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 2: your premiums? 41 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 3: Whether you get it through an employer or a union, 42 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 3: or you have to buy it on the open market, 43 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: it's really expensive. But the legal immigrants in this state 44 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: get it for free, one point seven million of them, 45 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 3: one point seven million. In fact, one quarter of all 46 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: state medical spending does not go to Americans living in California. 47 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 3: Medical is supposed to be for low income people to 48 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: cover their their healthcare costs, but a quarter of the 49 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: spending is for people from other countries who broke the 50 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 3: law in game here. Not only that one point seven million, 51 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 3: is that not a staggering number. That's more than the 52 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: population of some states. And the cost has increased thirty 53 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: five percent higher than Newsom's original projections. Thirty five percent higher. 54 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: It was a huge number to begin with, and then 55 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: it went up by another third. Now I got to 56 00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 3: emphasize here, this is all illegal spending. This breaks federal law. 57 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 3: Doctor Oz posted medicaid dollars belonged to Americans, not illegal immigrants. 58 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: Anybody disagree with that? How do you feel? What kind 59 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 3: of a how much of a schmuck? Do you feel 60 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 3: like that? 61 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: What? Oh? 62 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: I don't know if you could say that name. 63 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: Yes, Eric's in charge of yetishes and Handle says it 64 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: all the time. You could say it, that's true. 65 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 4: It just kind of caught me off guard. 66 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 2: I think is that dirty? Too many things rattle you. 67 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 4: No, No, I don't know what's weird. It just it 68 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 4: literally kind of caught me off guard. 69 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's where I got the word from listening 70 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: to handle. 71 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 4: Oh really, okay, I carry on one. 72 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: Point seven million illegal immigrants, and the federal law prohibits 73 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 3: using the dollars. Now, doctor Oz says, if you're a 74 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 3: taxpayer in Texas or Florida, your tax dollars could have 75 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 3: been used to fund the care of illegal immigrant in California. 76 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 3: This is why I can't imagine how that Newsom can 77 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: survive very long running for president, because there's going to 78 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: be Democratic governors from other states who don't do this, 79 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 3: and they're in the first debate or the first week 80 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: of campaigning, they're saying, you are paying for illegal immigrants 81 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 3: in California and the other states where there's a lot 82 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 3: of fraud Illinois, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon. But the fraud 83 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: the medicaid spending on illegals in California is so great 84 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 3: it dwarfs all the other totals combined, all the other 85 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: states combined. 86 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: So, yeah, what kind of a schmuck are you? 87 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: You've got to pay thousands of dollars for your health care, 88 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 3: and Newsom is hanging handing out your tax money to 89 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: people who came here illegally, what I mean. And this 90 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 3: is why when I see all this support for legal aliens, 91 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: they're all angry about ICE. Do you know what it's 92 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: costing you? Mass stupid? 93 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 2: Are you? 94 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: This is why I want ICE to take everybody out. 95 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 3: You know, certainly the criminals and the gang members. But yeah, 96 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 3: this is why you got to take everybody out, because 97 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 3: people complain about their healthcare costs almost more than anything. 98 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: This is this is the huge cost in everybody's life 99 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 3: that drags down their finances. And then you find out 100 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: Newsom is given away one point three billion dollars just 101 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: in California. Well no, no, don't tell me that that 102 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: we can't have ICE removed. 103 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: People. 104 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: These these are these are almost two million, two million 105 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 3: free loaders. 106 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 2: Sorry. 107 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 3: And it's not just the Medicaid benefits, it's all the 108 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: other benefits they get. No out, California is bankrupt, they 109 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 3: are way overdrawn. But what they do is they move 110 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: money around. They do the money launder and dance and 111 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 3: steal money from this account and that account and make 112 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 3: it all complicated so that nobody can really track what's 113 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 3: going on. But trust me, California is broke, busted, bankrupt, 114 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 3: and it's only going to get worse. And this has 115 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 3: got to end. Doctor Oz is going to come out 116 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 3: with more. I'll give you any. We got one point 117 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: three one billion dollars. Illinois is only twenty nine million, 118 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 3: Washington is two point four million, Colorado is one and 119 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: a half million, Oregon is five million, DC is two million. 120 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: We are one point three one billion. It's a disaster. 121 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 3: We're coming up. 122 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 123 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 5: six forty. 124 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: All right, we just finished talking about how doctor Oz, 125 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: who runs the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, that 126 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: agency has discovered that there are billions of dollars in 127 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 3: unlawful federal Medicaid spending on illegal aliens llegal aliens BI 128 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 3: federal law can only get non emergency I'm sorry, can 129 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 3: only get emergency care. But this is almost two billion 130 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: dollars of non emergency healthcare because here in California, Newsom 131 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 3: gave away healthcare benefits to one point seven million illegal aliens. 132 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 3: One point seven million. So the unlawful payments totaled one 133 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: point three billion in California. The whole country was at 134 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: one point eight billion. At this point, we're at one 135 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 3: point three billion unlawful payments to illegal aliens for healthcare. See, 136 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 3: this is one of the most important reasons why ICE 137 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: is rounding up everybody. And you may think from the absurd, 138 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 3: ridiculous coverage in the news media that there are all 139 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: kinds of innocent citizens being rounded up because of their color, 140 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 3: their ethnicity, or or you know whatever, you know whatever 141 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: discrimination charges that people want to throw it to ICE. Right, boy, 142 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 3: this is a great clip here Scott Jennings is a 143 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: CNN commentator, and listen to this statistic about who is 144 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 3: getting rounded up. 145 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 6: So, according to the reporting, there have been one hundred 146 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 6: and seventy American citizens who have been detained for some 147 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 6: period of time during this period in which they have 148 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 6: deported about six hundred and sixty thousand illegal aliens. That's 149 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 6: about a ninety nine point nine nine nine seven percent 150 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 6: success rate. If any other government agency got stuff that right, 151 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 6: that often, we'd be throwing them a picker fait parade. 152 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: There you go, how about that? 153 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 3: You would think, I mean, how many times have you 154 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 3: heard some stupid politician or some stupid journalists talk about 155 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 3: Americans are in fear that people are being profiled discriminated against, 156 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 3: and they're being picked simply because of their race or 157 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 3: their color, or their ethnicity or whatever other category there is, 158 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 3: and not because they're illegal. But they don't know who 159 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: they're picking up. That's just random, random arrests of brown people. Right, 160 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 3: false ninety nine point nine seven percent success rate. 161 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 6: That's about a ninety nine point success rate. 162 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 3: How Come we're living in this new era for a 163 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 3: year and this is the first time I've heard this statistic. 164 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 3: How Come this isn't part of every report And every 165 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 3: time somebody pops off, like Karen Bass and we got 166 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 3: something on her coming up, she pops off claiming that 167 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 3: everyone's being profile discriminated against, the round it up based 168 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: on race. This is racism, blah, xenophobia, blah blah, blah 169 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: blah blah, all their stupid tired buzzwords. 170 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: It's not going on at all. 171 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 3: If I was going to tell you that they were 172 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 3: going to round up six hundred and sixty thousand illegal 173 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 3: aliens and they were going to be right, ninety nine 174 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: point ninety nine seven percent of the time. That's not 175 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 3: how these stories are presented to all of us. Do 176 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 3: you realize how much you're being lied to? How these 177 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: these are massive, systemic lives, intentional on purpose this. No, 178 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: it's not well we had a bad source. No, No, 179 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: they get up in the morning and they intentionally put 180 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: out something that's false ninety nine point nine seven percent accuracy. 181 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 3: When they pick people off the street and they're illegal aliens, 182 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 3: that's like when they did the home depot rage. Well, 183 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 3: you know they're not all legal aliens. Yeah, you're right, 184 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 3: point zero zero zero three percent are not illegal aliens. 185 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 3: Hysteria over tiny mistakes which are inevitable. Nobody in life 186 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: is one hundred percent. Can you imagine if everything you 187 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: did in life and you were right ninety nine point 188 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 3: nine nine seven percent of the time. Imagine that? Huh, 189 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 3: how much money would you be making you never screw 190 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 3: up all day long, every day. That's just astonishing. Here's 191 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: some more hypocrisy. The other day, we played a clip 192 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 3: about Barack Obama in twenty fourteen deporting illegal aliens. We 193 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: found two more clips since, So here are clips of 194 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: Barack Obama and tell me what he's saying. That's different 195 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 3: from Trump Cut four Like cut four. First, if you're 196 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: a criminal, you'll be deported. If you plan to enter 197 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 3: the US illegally, your chances of getting caught and sent 198 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 3: back just went up. The actions I'm taking are not 199 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 3: only lawful. There are the kinds of actions taken by 200 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 3: every single Republican president and every single Democratic president for 201 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 3: the past half century. Let's go back a year earlier, 202 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 3: twenty thirteen. With a Univision Telemundo reporter, he was asked 203 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 3: about deporting the parents of kids who were brought to 204 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: the country illegally. All right, so the kids are brought 205 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: to the country illegally, Obviously the parents are here illegally. 206 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 2: Would he allow the parents to stay? Well that click. 207 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: As time goes on, a thousand deportations on average a day, 208 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: people are wondering, and our Twitter feeds and Facebook feeds, 209 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: that's the question everybody asks, won't you at least consider 210 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: unilaterally freezing deportations for the parents of deferred action kids. 211 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 7: Here's the problem that I have, Jose, and I've said 212 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 7: this consistently. My job in the executive branch is supposed 213 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 7: to be to carry out the laws that are passed. 214 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 7: Congress has said, here's the law when it comes to 215 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 7: those who are undocumented, and they allocate a whole bunch 216 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 7: of money for enforcement. And what I have been able 217 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 7: to do is to make a legal argument that I 218 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 7: think is absolutely right, which is that given the resources 219 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 7: we have, we can't do everything that Congress has asked 220 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 7: us to do. What we can do is then carve 221 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 7: out the Dream Act folks saying, young people who have 222 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 7: basically grown up here are Americans that we should welcome. 223 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 7: We're not going to have them operate under a cloud, 224 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 7: under a shadow. But if we start broadening that, then 225 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 7: essentially I would be ignoring the law in a way 226 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 7: that I think would be very difficult to defend legally. 227 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 7: So that's not an option. 228 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: We're talking about parents of the DOCU kits. 229 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 3: One more, This is Obama back in two thousand and 230 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 3: eight calling out the George Bush administration for being soft 231 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:54,359 Speaker 3: on illegals. 232 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 8: This administration, the Bush administration, has done nothing to control the. 233 00:15:59,320 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: Problem that we have. 234 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 8: We've had five million undocumented workers come over the borders 235 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 8: since George Bush took office. It has become an extraordinary problem. 236 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 8: And the reason the American people are concerned is because 237 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 8: they are seeing their own economic position slip away, and 238 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 8: oftentimes employers are exploiting these undocumented workers. They're not paying 239 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 8: the minimum wage, they're not observing worker safety laws. As president, 240 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 8: I will make sure that we finally have the kind 241 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 8: of border security that we need. That's step number one. 242 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 8: Step number two is to take on employers. Right now, 243 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 8: an employer has more of a chance of getting hit 244 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 8: by lightning than be prosecuted for hiring an undocumented worker. 245 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,359 Speaker 8: That has to change. They have to be held accountable, 246 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 8: start shedding some light on the problem, and we can 247 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 8: once again be a nation of laws and a nation 248 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 8: of immigrants. So that's what I intend to do as 249 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 8: President of the United States. 250 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 2: Barack Obama two thousand and eight. That was a c 251 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: end debate. 252 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM 253 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 5: six forty. 254 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: You know, some of the stories. 255 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 3: In the news read very seriously, filled with policy analysis 256 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 3: and statistics and you know, weighty issues, but then when 257 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: you read them their comedy. And one of those stories 258 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 3: is in the Los Angeles Times today. Do you know 259 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: there has been a civil lawsuit because la has been 260 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 3: so horrible at cleaning up homeless encampments. And it's five 261 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 3: years of litigation and they are fighting over words and 262 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 3: definitions to let you know what this is about. The 263 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 3: lawsuit was settled. A federal judge had gotten both sides 264 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 3: to agree that La City had to create almost thirteen 265 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 3: thousand beds, housing or shelter and get rid of nine 266 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 3: thousand homeless encampments by June of twenty twenty seven. 267 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: And there's this. 268 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 3: Some of the questions are if a bed and a 269 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 3: homeless shelter has been taken, is that bed still available? 270 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 3: And I have to read this a few times. It's like, okay, 271 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: bed and a homeless shelter, it's been taken. So homeless 272 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 3: person and all his filth is on the bed, how'd 273 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 3: you like to have that? How would you like to 274 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 3: have that? Laundry a concession? 275 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 5: Huh? 276 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: I would not. I hate doing laundry as. 277 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 3: It is to the to the guys from the laundry service, 278 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: they show up and has matt uniforms? Do they do 279 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 3: they change the sheets every day? Probably not? Why would 280 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 3: you do that? Which so all right? It turns out 281 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: that you would think that the answer is no, right, 282 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: and and and and the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. It's 283 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 3: it's it's a group of businesses and residents say, well, no, 284 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 3: if if the shelter bed has been taken, it is 285 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 3: not available, but the city begs to differ. According to 286 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 3: the testimony of the city administrative officer Matt Zabo. And 287 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 3: let me tell you, whenever there's an article in the 288 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 3: Los Angeles Times about a city agency being incompetent botching 289 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 3: things up, Matt Zabo's name is always in the story 290 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 3: because there's the city administrative officer. He's like the bureaucrat 291 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 3: in charge of bureaucrats. So as all these bureaucratic agencies fail, 292 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 3: he's supposed to explain how they didn't fail. And he 293 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 3: always speaks nonsense. Right, So now a bed that actually 294 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 3: has a homeless body in it is considered available under 295 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 3: the city definition. You see why this has been litigation 296 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:30,919 Speaker 3: for five years. According to mattsaebo, a bed created by 297 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 3: the city remains on offer. That means available, whether someone 298 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 3: is sleeping in it or not. Now, if you're checking 299 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 3: into a hotel and you'd say, well, i'd like room 300 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: one fourteen, well I'm sorry, we already gave one fourteen away. 301 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 3: But at the city homeless hotel. Do you want room 302 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 3: one fourteen? It's like, all right, climb in with the 303 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 3: other guy. It's still available. Don't worry, we'll clean. 304 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: The sheets in a week. Well see, And this is how. 305 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 3: I don't know what the benefit is to doing it, 306 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 3: but it's obviously to fudge up the statistics. They're not 307 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 3: in compliance with the settlement. The judge knows this, the 308 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 3: plaintiffs know this, but matt Zebo goes up there and 309 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 3: starts pumping his gas to tell you that a bed 310 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 3: with a body in it actually is still open. That 311 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 3: contention is one of several at the core of a 312 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 3: hearing this week in federal court to see if the 313 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 3: city should be held in contempt for not complying with 314 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 3: the settlement, which was signed more than three and a 315 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 3: half years ago. And again, they're supposed to produce almost 316 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: thirteen thousand shelter beds and remove or housing beds, and 317 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: remove ten thousand encampments across the street. Gee, I wonder 318 00:21:55,000 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 3: how close they are to removing ten thousand encampments. They 319 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 3: lead attorney for the city's outside law firm. By the way, 320 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 3: this is all connected to two billion dollars of homeless 321 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: money being missing, Karen Bass hiring fifteen lawyers so she 322 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 3: doesn't have to testify about the two billion dollars that 323 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 3: are missing. There's several lawsuits, but it's all the same thing. 324 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 3: The city lies and covers anything up, and if Bass 325 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 3: ever gets implicated, she hires fifteen lawyers to exhaust the 326 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 3: whole process. So the city claims it's doing the best 327 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 3: it can. I remember, remember they make up homeless statistics. 328 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: They're all excited, like, oh yeah, I never played that 329 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 3: clip from yesterday from what's his name? 330 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 2: Eric? Eric? 331 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 3: Remember the clip from yesterday Marquise Aristausen. Yes, yes, go 332 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: go get that for next segment because they have an 333 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 3: attorney the evangelist the city does from the city's outside 334 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 3: law firm.

You may have heard Nick Reiner, the 379 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 3: murderer killed his parents, Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner. Nick 380 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: Reiner apparently was put into a mental health conservation situation. 381 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 2: We're back, I don't know about twenty twenty one, and. 382 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 3: He had to be put in a like a I 383 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 3: guess a mental health facility. But he got out. He 384 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 3: was in a conservatorship. Why did he get out? It 385 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 3: was like everybody said, oh my god. You know, if 386 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 3: he actually was in a mental health conservatorship, that's going 387 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 3: to help his case that he could plead insanity. He 388 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 3: could plead you know, a huge mental health disorder. He 389 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 3: didn't understand reality and then not be convicted of murder. 390 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 3: I mean, he would be locked up in a mental institution, 391 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 3: but you know, those guys get out often. But I 392 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 3: heard that, and I go, well, why was he let 393 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 3: out of the conservatorship? 394 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: Why did they let him out to begin with? Look 395 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 2: what happened. This is my problem. 396 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 3: It's very difficult to get somebody into a conservatorship situation 397 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: where you could put him legally put them away, because 398 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: as soon as you put them away, all these geniuses 399 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 3: inside the mental health facility are trying to figure out 400 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 3: how to get them out, and obviously they're not good 401 00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 3: at determining that. 402 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 2: It's like remember that sex offender, the Pillow Case rapist. 403 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: He was thrown in psychiatric wards repeatedly, and then he'd 404 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 3: come back out because the doctor said, well, we think 405 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 3: he's cured, we think he's stabilized, and. 406 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: Then you go and need to rin more women. 407 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 3: The one who would put the public case over women's heads. 408 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 3: All right, back, just a little bit more. That's after 409 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 3: two o'clock, a little bit more about Matt Zebo. He's 410 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 3: this buffoon who's the city administrator, who's testifying in a 411 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 3: civil case for the city of Los Angeles to explain 412 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 3: why the city is so bad at adhering to its 413 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 3: agreement to get homeless people off the streets in encampments 414 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 3: and put them in shelters, and under intense cross examination, 415 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 3: these are civic groups who've come together to sue. They're 416 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 3: trying to clean up LA so they're sue in the 417 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 3: city and this is a contempt of court hearing because 418 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 3: the city hasn't met the agreement. So Matt Dizabo, the 419 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 3: city administrator, struggled to defend his testimony that the city 420 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 3: was continuing to maintain almost all of the seven thousand 421 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 3: beds that was required to produce. Now listen to this 422 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 3: explanation and see if it makes any sense. 423 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 2: Homeless No no, no, no, no, no, no, that's somebody else. 424 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 3: He So he's got to explain why the seven thousand 425 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 3: beds haven't been produced. He clarified he was referring to 426 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 3: physical beds created by the city, but acknowledge there's more 427 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: than two thousand of those beds were leased with subsidies 428 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,800 Speaker 3: that expire in two years, and I don't know how 429 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 3: many of those are still being used. 430 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 2: Like he's saying, well, we got. 431 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 3: Seven thousand beds and then the next breath, well, actually 432 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 3: two thousand of them belonged to somebody else, and we 433 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 3: don't know if they're being used and the leases and 434 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,479 Speaker 3: expect they're leasing beds. 435 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 2: Why my own one of they buy beds. This is 436 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 2: what I mean. We've given them extra billions of dollars 437 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: in taxes. 438 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 3: All right, So this weekend they're going to be counting 439 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 3: the homeless people that are living in the streets. They 440 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 3: do this every year and then they fake the numbers, 441 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 3: but they'll go through the process. Listen to the City 442 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: Council President Marquise Harris Dawson explaining the process. 443 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 9: The homeless discount, to me, is one of the most 444 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 9: important things we do because it gives everybody in Los 445 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 9: Angeles the opportunity one to help, but also to have 446 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 9: recognition of the people living on our streets. All too often, 447 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 9: our instinct about people living on the streets is we 448 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 9: try to ignore them or go around them, or you know, 449 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 9: do what we can to move them out of the way. 450 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 9: And that the homeless count is when you have to 451 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 9: look and see, oh, this is an older man, this 452 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 9: is a younger woman, this is a child, this is 453 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 9: a whoever's living in the encampment. So I think it's 454 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 9: one of the most important things that we do. So 455 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 9: so we're gonna pump that up big in this chamber 456 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 9: up until that time. Every year we get a little bigger, 457 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 9: but it's never quite big enough in terms of the 458 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 9: volunteers that we have. 459 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 3: Oh this is an older man, Oh this is a 460 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 3: younger woman. No, of course, all too often we ignore 461 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 3: them or step around them or avoid the Well, of 462 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 3: course we do, because a lot of them are frightening. 463 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 3: We just found out about a homeless colony in Berkeley 464 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 3: that has this terrible disease from rats and has infected 465 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 3: the dogs and humans can get it and die. So yeah, 466 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 3: I'm gonna avoid them and ignore them and walk around them, 467 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,479 Speaker 3: of course. Oh and the ones who are screaming and 468 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 3: frothing at the mouth and are menacing, I'm not gonna 469 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 3: stop and go, oh look at that. That's a young 470 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 3: man strung out on meth I'm not here to observe them, 471 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 3: to describe them. Of course, we're going to have what 472 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 3: they shouldn't be there. But Marquise Harris Dawson and all 473 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 3: the other duds on the city council absolutely refused to 474 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 3: do what most cities. 475 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 2: In the country do. 476 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 3: You go to the smaller cities in LA County, they 477 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 3: don't have this problem because instead of getting rid of them, 478 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 3: they lie about the numbers. Remember I told you the 479 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 3: Rand Corporation studied three sections of LA did their own 480 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 3: homeless count compared them to LA City numbers, and found 481 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 3: out that in one case, the numbers were forty percent off. 482 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 3: Guess which direction there was forty percent more homeless according 483 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 3: to the Rand Corporation in one city district. All three 484 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 3: city districts had significantly more people counted as homeless. 485 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: All right, we come back. 486 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 3: We're gonna have Alex Stone ABC News and he's gonna 487 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 3: tell us about Nick Reiner.
