2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome, We're on three

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 1: to six after six John Cobelt Show on demand on

4
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,799
Speaker 1: the iHeart app. Later on in the hour, we're going

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: to talk with Richie Greenberg, writer commentator in San Francisco,

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: and he's going to talk about the massive hypocrisy of

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: all these left wing progressive union people over the years

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: about Caesar Chavez. Turns out he was a child rapist.

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: He was raping young teenagers thirteen years old among other

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: women for decades. This went on and a lot of

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: people knew about it. Nobody said anything because he was

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 1: so important to the farm workers movement, the union movement.

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: And you know what's really crazy crazy is let me

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: find it. The New York Times did the work breaking

15
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: this story. They interviewed sixty people and found out decades

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: of his of his sexual crimes. This is their story,

17
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: But they have a little side story and the headline

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,919
Speaker 1: on that is Chaves inspired California's Latino leaders, but left

19
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: a complex legacy. That's what compulsive child rape is to

20
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: this New York Times writer, a complex legacy. I mean

21
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: the worst imaginable sexual beast this side of Jeffrey Epstein,

22
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: who fulled the public for decades. Their own writers spend

23
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: years working on a story with sixty sources, and some

24
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: joker says, yes, Caesar shav has left a complex legacy.

25
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Oh God, you know the way Charles Manson left a

26
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: complex legacy too, Right. People are lunatics. Everybody's crazy. Yesterday

27
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: we taught we played a lot of clips from Nick Shirley,

28
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: who's an independent journalist, and I'm telling you that's where

29
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: I'm getting a lot of the real news of the

30
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: world anymore these days is guys like Nick Shirley. And

31
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: he posted a forty minute video on x on Twitter

32
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: and found one hundred and seventy million dollars in fraudulent billings,

33
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: fake hospice, fake child daycare, no patience, no children, empty offices,

34
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: empty buildings, a lot of expensive cars. Though, Megan Barth

35
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: in californiaglobe dot com watched all forty minutes and put

36
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: together a rundown of what's in the video, and in

37
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: the video, Shirley says that get this hospital hospice enrollment

38
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: in California has skyrocket has skyrocketed by about a thousand

39
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: percent in recent years. Wow, that explains all the dead

40
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: bodies in the street. Huh, hospice enrollment one thousand percent

41
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: and Newsome and his government did nothing. They knew of this,

42
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: they didn't care. Could be as much as three and

43
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: a half billion dollars wasted. Three and a half billion

44
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: dollars of your money. This is what you vote for.

45
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: Shirley's team conducted investigations at dense clusters of hospice and

46
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: adult care providers in Los Angeles, focusing heavily on Victory

47
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: Boulevard in Van Nys Remember Victory Boulevard Vannis Boulevard, That's

48
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: where doctor Oz put out of video and knew some

49
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: file to civil rights claim against Oz because he pointed

50
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: out these were Russian Armenian gangs behind all the fraud,

51
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: or a lot of the fraud. Well, it turns out,

52
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: according to NCK Shirley, that that's exactly what happened. The

53
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 1: investigation revealed apparent ties among the providers, suggesting family run enterprises,

54
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: with clear indications that the coordinated networks like the Russian

55
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Armenian mafia are managing billing and locations across multiple sites.

56
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 1: So doctor Oz was right. Newsom has done nothing about

57
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: it except File of Civil Rights can play against Oz.

58
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: He's telling the truth. These are Russian Armenian mafia members

59
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: that are running these fake hospices and fake daycare centers.

60
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: Time and again, registered addresses turned out to be vacant

61
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: shells in Shirley's video, buildings with dead phone lines, piles

62
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: of unopened mail, parking lots filled with luxury vehicles, zero

63
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: evidence of patients are caregiving, one hundred and seventy million

64
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: dollars of wasteing found. You will those vehicles? Listen to these?

65
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: A Mercedes Maybach S six's eighty. I don't know cars,

66
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: do you?

67
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: I know?

68
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: And that sounds way out of my leg It's a

69
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: very very very expensive, luxury nice Mercedes. Prices range from

70
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty three thousand to two hundred and

71
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: seventy thousand. And if you get the model fully loaded,

72
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: and if you're going to spend that much money, why

73
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't you three hundred and forty five thousand dollar cars?

74
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: And I saw it in his video. I saw a

75
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: guy driving that that That is three hundred and forty

76
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars of your tax money. That that guy

77
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: drove out of the parking lot running his Russian Armenian

78
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: mafia hospice daycare center. What happens is, whenever somebody tries

79
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: to investigate this, the operators just shut down one location

80
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: and reopen elsewhere under a new name or address. It's

81
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 1: a cycle of fraud and evasion. And Shirley said, this

82
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: is how hospice fraud works. A get a small office

83
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,559
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, b collect Medicare beneficiary numbers three, enroll

84
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: those people into a hospice. Then build the government for

85
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,679
Speaker 1: millions of dollars. So you steal the Medicare numbers, steal

86
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: their names, enroll them in a fake hospice, build a

87
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: government for millions. If you get caught or there's suspicious investigators,

88
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: you pack up, you walk away with millions, and you

89
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: open another office somewhere else. John, should we get in

90
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: on this. It's easy. It's of course, if you try

91
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: to take some turf away from these mafia gangs, I'll

92
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: probably kill you. I just and after Surely discovered all this,

93
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: Newsom's office responded with a stupid meme making Surely look

94
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: like a pedophile with a dozen cameras hanging around his

95
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: neck and draped on his arms because you get it,

96
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: he was going to daycare centers. They're so they're such

97
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: vile creatures. Newsom and the people in his press office,

98
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: they are vile, foul, filthy creatures. They're not human. They're psychopaths.

99
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: The whole lot of them are psychopaths. But hey, keep

100
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: voting for him. He gets sixty five percent of the

101
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: female vote. If if you knew that billions of healthcare dollars,

102
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: childcare dollars, hospice dollars for your dying grandmother and grandfather,

103
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: and you're a woman, if you knew that was all

104
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: being funneled to criminals, and Newsom's well aware of it

105
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: by now. There's been a CBS investigation, there's the doctor

106
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: Oz investigation. There's Nick Shirley investigation. There's a Fox News investigation,

107
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: there's an assembly woman Alexandria Messido. It's five investigations. He knows,

108
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: doesn't do anything about it. Still vote for him, Still

109
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,320

117
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: something else. They're threatening to go on strike. Did they

118
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: announce the strike date they were supposed to be They

119
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: were supposed to do around four thirty today And I've

120
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: been monitoring. I haven't heard anything there. They're so yeah,

121
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're busy screaming like a bunch of hysterics.

122
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: They're doing it in a park across the street from

123
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: city Hall. And there was supposed to be a meeting

124
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: this morning among the elected leaders of the union and

125
00:09:55,679 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: they're going to set a strike date. And I I

126
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: was talking to chat GPT the other day, your best friend. Yes,

127
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: it's I don't know if you want to admit that. Oh,

128
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: he admitted it the other day. He loves that. Yeah,

129
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: because it's always there for me and it always answers

130
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: my questions. And I had a question, what's been what's

131
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 1: been the enrollment at the Los Angeles Unified School District

132
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 1: over the last twenty twenty five years And it peaked

133
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and two thousand and four, about

134
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty thousand students. Seven hundred and fifty

135
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: thousand students, right, keep that number in your head. You

136
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: know what it is today, three hundred and ninety two thousand.

137
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it's it's almost half. The enrollment

138
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: is down almost half. So then I wanted to know

139
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: what's the budget. And the budget in two thousand and

140
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: four was about thirteen billion dollars and now it's eighteen

141
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: billion dollars. So how did it go up? I don't know,

142
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: about thirty percent, forty percent nineteen billion dollars, So we

143
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: went up about forty percent, but the enrollment is down

144
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: almost fifty percent. So what's going on here? Most of

145
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: the money spent is on salaries and benefits and you

146
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: know pensions, right. I've read that eighty percent of the

147
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: money a school district spends is on teachers and staff,

148
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: and it's salary benefits. And so how do we how's

149
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: our how's our enrollment down almost fifty percent? The budget's

150
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: up forty percent, and they're going on strike. Oh, by

151
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: the way, we've got among the worst schools in the nation.

152
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: You know, we've got thicket's about seventy percent of kids

153
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: graduate and they can't do math, and about fifty five

154
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: percent graduate and they can't read. And they're out in

155
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: that park screaming and yelling that they've been screwed. They're

156
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: not getting enough money. These are really crazy people. They

157
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: ought to put a net over that whole park, Gloria

158
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: Molina Park across from City Hall, a big net and

159
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: put them in the back of a truck and take

160
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: them to a mental institution. Can you imagine you have

161
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: a business where you've lost half your customers, You're spending

162
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: forty percent more money, the quality anywhere from half to

163
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: two thirds of your service is given a bad review,

164
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: or your product is defective, and everybody in your company

165
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: wants a raise. That's what we got here. We have

166
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: a defective education system, aren't they anybody wants to send

167
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: their kids anymore? I mean, you take out the illegal

168
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: alien kids, how many are left? How many American citizens

169
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: children are left going to the LA Unified? Why would

170
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: you send to LA Unified unless you were dead broke?

171
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: That's just that's just a bit. We go ahead. They're

172
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna be screaming, and the dumbasses in the TV media

173
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: are going to get video them screaming, all these emotional

174
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: teachers flipping out, melting down, and nobody in television you'll

175
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: see is going to explain that we have massive decline

176
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: and enrollment, massive increase in the budget. Math scoes suck,

177
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: reading scores suck, but they want more money. Deborah Mark Live. Oh,

178
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Richie Greenberg on next, the writer commentator

179
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: out of San Francisco at Caesar Chavez and the hypocrisy

180
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: of all the left wing idiot unions and progressives and

181
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: all these civil rights people over the years about his

182
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: compulsive rape habits involving young girls.

183
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A

184
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: six forty.

185
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: Welcome John Cobelt Show, and we're on every day from

186
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: three until six and after six o'clock that's when we

187
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: released the podcast that is called John Cobelt Show on Demand,

188
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: and that's where you get to pick up on whatever

189
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: you missed quite the last twenty four hours. For the

190
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: memory of Caesar Chavez. He is totally utterly canceled. Caesar Chavez.

191
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: If you don't know, there's a holiday in California state

192
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: holiday the government's closed on March thirty, first in his

193
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: honor because back in the sixties and seventies he organized

194
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: farm workers and unionized them, and he became a civil

195
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: rights leader, a civil rights icon, and he was untouchable, bulletproof.

196
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: He died in nineteen ninety three at the age of

197
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: sixty six, and now thirty two years later, he's being

198
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: completely canceled. All the signs are going to be pulled

199
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: down on streets and schools and foundations because it turns

200
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: out he's a serial rapist, a sex abuser of young

201
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: women and young girls. It's almost like Jeffrey Epstein. Here.

202
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to Richie Greenberg, who's a writer

203
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: and commentator up in the San Francisco area, and he

204
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: wrote quite a piece today for the California Post on

205
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: the complete hypocrisy of the farm workers Union and everybody

206
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: else among the progressive wing. Hey, Ritchie, how are you.

207
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: Hey, Thank you for having me today, John, I'm doing

208
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: it really great.

209
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: It's good to explain just how big Caesar Chavez was

210
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: going back fifty sixty years ago.

211
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you summed it up before you know. There

212
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: are schools named after him, there are parks named after him,

213
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: there are libraries named after him. There as student unions

214
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 2: halls that are at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State

215
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: University named after him. He is lauded, there are statues,

216
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 2: and as you said, there's a holiday here in the

217
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: state of California where they're honoring his birthday. I believe,

218
00:16:54,160 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: and he is revered. He is a saint. And this

219
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 2: this expose that The New York Times had done years

220
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: of research on him and interviewed I believe sixty people

221
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: to come up with this explosive bombshell on what he

222
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 2: was really like it is. I think it's devastating. It's

223
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 2: absolutely devastating to the community and to the labor movement,

224
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: the unions, at least those that he had formed the

225
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: union back then and had gone along with him. It's

226
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: a bombshell for sure.

227
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: How do you think this was kept secret for the

228
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: last sixty plus years. I mean, it's thirty two years

229
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: since he died, and only now I mean one of

230
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: the victims is ninety six years old. I just in

231
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: this age, it seems impossible that nobody spoke.

232
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, that's probably an indictment of how strong they

233
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: wanted to keep how the unions, the foundations and everyone

234
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 2: wanted to keep this image of Chaves as being this

235
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: saintly figure. And you know, I've done some research myself.

236
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 2: I actually did quite a bit of background to see

237
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 2: what this all meant and what was leading to this,

238
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 2: and what were potential you know, how to postulate why

239
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:26,159
Speaker 2: was this now? And first of all, the his Chavis

240
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: right hand man right had woman actually Delores Whereta at

241
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: ninety six years old. This is a potential issue where

242
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: it is now or never for her as she is

243
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 2: advancing in age and we don't know how long, how

244
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: much time she has still with us on earth. This

245
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: might easily have been the like an urgent need to

246
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: unburden what she had before it's too late.

247
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 4: And she became a major civil rights figure, yes exactly.

248
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: And he impregnateed her twice when she was a teenager.

249
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 2: Yes, And that's part of that's exactly. That's the whole

250
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 2: that's part of the whole bombshell revelation. And she hid

251
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: that she had two children by him, and she gave

252
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: both of them up for adoption to be I don't

253
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: even know if it was adoption. She just placed them

254
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 2: with two different families to raise them as their own

255
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: and yeah, but with the New York Times looming, their

256
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: multi year investigation found the links, found, the truth, found

257
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: all of this. This was probably the trigger to tell

258
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 2: to indicate to where to that she should actually come

259
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: out as well.

260
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: You write in your piece today for the California Post

261
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: that he was not entirely with people thought he was. Politically.

262
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 1: He was very anti illegal immigration. Yeah.

263
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: And that's what's really interesting as well, is that he

264
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 2: was pro immigrant, meaning legal immigrant, but the illegal immigrants

265
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 2: not at all. They even had set up like the

266
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: unions that he was working with set up lines barriers

267
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: to try and bar and prevent illegal immigrants from encroaching

268
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 2: on their territory. He referred to the Mexicans that came

269
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: across the Rio Grande as wet bax.

270
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 4: He was.

271
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 2: He made there was no on certain terms that he

272
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 2: was completely anti illegal immigration.

273
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: Because he correctly said that illegal immigrants are going to

274
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 1: undercut the wages of the legal immigrants, the farm workers.

275
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes, I imagine that if if he if

276
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: Shabas was alive today, I think by his attitudes he

277
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: would be labeled probably a right wing even right.

278
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: Yes, there wasn't much difference in his views and Trump's

279
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: views on that.

280
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 4: Issue exactly very much opposed illegal immigration, and I think

281
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 4: that looking at at some of the comments that people

282
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 4: have made on different posts and even on.

283
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: My my piece that I had written, they look at

284
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: that as being a potential form in the side of

285
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. And as we see now that things

286
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: are turning against illegal immigration with the Trumpet administration's enforcement

287
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: of the borders, that might be a factor as well.

288
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: I'm really not so sure of that is what it's about, don't.

289
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: I don't see that as being as strong a factor

290
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: compared to the others. But you know, but you know,

291
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: we see now already these different municipalities around the state

292
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 2: are scrambling to cancel Caesarshave's day, cancel all of the

293
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: all of that, and to rename already strong.

294
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: Oh there's workers already climb and ladders to rip his

295
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: name off buildings in schools. I mean, he had a

296
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: naval ship named after him, the us NS Caesar Chavez.

297
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 2: Yes, that's right, and Trump tried to rename it and

298
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: they got pushback. But who knows, maybe this time the

299
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: renaming will work.

300
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, thanks very much Richie Greenberg for

301
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: coming on.

302
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: Hi John Great, Thank you to be.

303
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: Richie Greenberg, writer and commentator in San Francisco, about the

304
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: massive hypocrisy from all the progressives in the unions about

305
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: Stevin Caesar Chavez. Well, Mark coming up.

306
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI A

307
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: M six forty.

308
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: Soe Caesar Chavez the the icon. I hate that, right,

309
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: the civil rights icon. Actually, what he did on the

310
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: side is the raped thirteen year old thirteen year old

311
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: girls that impregnated them. He raped a lot of women,

312
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: He sexually abused a lot of women. And now he's

313
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: been dead thirty three years and it all comes out

314
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: and everybody's shocked and amazed. Well, I bet you a

315
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: lot of people knew. But there's one headline in the

316
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: California Post says, well, he was too big to fail.

317
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: He meant too much to the movement, So he rapes

318
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: a few thirteen year olds on the side, not our business.

319
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: And what's kind of funny is Newsome being questioned by reporters,

320
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: and you know what, he should come out and say

321
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: this most disgusting thing I've ever heard of in my life.

322
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: But he was a hero shot as was a hero

323
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: to Newsom. So listen to this. Ashley Zavala from KCRA

324
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: Channel three, questioning newsom.

325
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate the question, and it's appropriate one. I mean,

326
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 5: we're all absorbing. You know, we heard some as early yesterday,

327
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 5: a few days ago, someone said something maybe coming out

328
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 5: and investigation as it relates to this, and you know,

329
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 5: this is March thirty. I think at the end of

330
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 5: the month, says our Javes Day. And you know every

331
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 5: year the governor of California proclaims that says our Shaves Day.

332
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 5: It's a statute.

333
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: He's battling.

334
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,239
Speaker 5: And how many days I've marched, how many times I've

335
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 5: been with students, you know, talking about the movement, and

336
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 5: how many the photographs I have in my house of

337
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 5: Bobby Kennedy says our Javes. I woke up this morning,

338
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 5: was right there and and so it's been hard to

339
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 5: absorb us.

340
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, stop stop. He has photos of Caesar Chavez

341
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: in his house? What a weader? Who does that? You know,

342
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: anybody has Caesar Chaves photos in their house? This guy

343
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: who he I don't think he's done a day of

344
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: farm work. I don't think he's even planted a flower

345
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: or a tomato. Play some more of this, oh twice,

346
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: he says. He he's absorbing it.

347
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 5: How many photographs I have in my house that Bobby Kennedy,

348
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 5: says our Shaves, I woke up this morning, was right there.

349
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: And so it's been hard to absorb this.

350
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: You know, Jen and I are very close with the Lores,

351
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 5: so many of us are, but very close for decades

352
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 5: and decades, and none of us knew and we were

353
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 5: sharing all this, and so we're just I think all

354
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 5: of us are processing it, and you know, and just

355
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 5: these kids have to process. And now, I mean, I

356
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 5: think there's Brooks. It was three dozen schools in the

357
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 5: state are named after says Oar Shaves. I don't know

358
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 5: community in the country. I travel to fourteen states last

359
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 5: few weeks. I think I will, you know, in fourteen,

360
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 5: says our Shavez streets in every part of this country.

361
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 5: So we're just going to have to reflect on all

362
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 5: of that.

363
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: He was a total fraud and everybody left.

364
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 5: On a farm workers movement, in a labor movement.

365
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: That was much good. Now got another reporter tells him

366
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: that the governor ver Zona is not going to celebrate

367
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: Caesarshaves Day anymore.

368
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: She won't celebrate day.

369
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 5: What are you going to do in Yeah, I mean

370
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 5: I said, I'm just processing this processes. I just read

371
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 5: the article this morning, didn't didn't. As I said, there

372
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 5: was never an indication all these years, you know, particularly

373
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 5: I mean spend so many, so many, so much sign

374
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: with Dolores and now about two kids. I mean there

375
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 5: was you know, just a lot to process.

376
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: So process, process again, the reprocess.

377
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 5: About the movement, it's about farm workers, it's about labor.

378
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: All right, stop three, process to absorb me. At no

379
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: point did he go, wow, that was really disgusting. What

380
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: what a foul, violent, awful sexual preder. You understand, there's

381
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: no no rage in him, and he knows one of

382
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: the victims who was rapeful. She was a teenager. All right,
