Listen to it today, tonight, this weekend, and 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: it's just you catch up whatever you missed on the 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: radio show in the first hour if you're just joining us. 7 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: We talked a lot about who's behind these protests. You know, 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: there's a large fake one going on in downtown LA 9 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: there's plenty of them going on in Minneapolis, and according 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: to Fox News and reporting from the New York Times, 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: a lot of this is financed by a wealthy tech 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 1: businessman who now lives in communist China and has does 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: a lot of work with the Communist Chinese Party in 14 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: spreading the message and an undermining American piece here. And 15 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: his name is Neville Roy Singha. He sold his company 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: for seven hundred and eighty five million dollars and he 17 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: finances these protest groups both in Minneapolis and here in 18 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and other places to do. What it is 19 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: you're seeing on television if you watch any of the 20 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: cable news shows, what you'll be seeing tonight on your 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: local news. What we've been covering here, this is likely 22 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: financed again by wealthy guys. They hire protesters, whip them 23 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: up into a frenzy over on social media and online, 24 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: and then we're told that America is turning against Ice. Well, 25 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: this is a lot of crap. The LA riot in 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: June was financed by this guy. The Minneapolis riots are 27 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: financed by this guy. And there's other guys as well. 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: There's a lot of these wealthy tech guys, and this 29 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: is what they do with their money. Some wealthy guys 30 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: by hookers. Some wealthy guys run for office. Other wealthy 31 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: guys pay subversive groups to create mayhem in the street. 32 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: Let's talk with Alex Stone from ABC News about the 33 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: Don Lemon situation. Welcome Alex, Sorry right there, John, Yeah, 34 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: and we expect some news to be coming out momentarily 35 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: from a court that he should be called for an 36 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 1: appearance in front of a judge here in LA and 37 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: likely that judge is just going to say, well, this 38 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: case is out of Minnesota, good to see you. You're 39 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: going to Minnesota, and then transfer him to Minnesota, either 40 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: on his own or in custody, and then everything else 41 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: will go on there. But this all went down and 42 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: around midnight, the FBI and Homeland Security Investigation agents they 43 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: showed up at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. They had an 44 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: arrest warrant in hand out of Minnesota, and two judges won. 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: A lower court magistrate judge in Minnesota and then an 46 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: appellate court judge denied attempts by prosecutors to get into 47 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: rest warrant and to charge Lemon, saying that they did 48 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: not have grounds for it and that it was not appropriate. 49 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: But our sources say A. G. Pambondi was livid about that, 50 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: that she wanted to charge and have a Lemon charge, 51 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: and that yesterday they brought it to a grand jury 52 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: which indicted Lemon, and that allowed them to move in 53 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: and make the arrest today with that indictment. But he 54 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: wasn't the only person. There were three others I believe 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: who were arrested today in other cities as well, who 56 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: were part of that protest to the church. But an 57 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: attorney for Don Lemon, he is saying that there is 58 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: an unprecedented attack on the First Amendment, saying Lemon was 59 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: there as a journalist documenting the protest and not a protester. 60 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: Lemon kept saying that during his live broadcast, saying, I'm 61 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: just cr chnically, I'm not with the group. But the 62 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: DOJ is arguing that when the law comes interfering with 63 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: the right to practice religion, that there is no carve 64 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: out for journalists. Whether he was a journalist or he 65 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: was an activist in this and a protester, that they 66 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: say that doesn't matter. Now. The judges, the federal judges 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: who denied moving forward with this case, they did think 68 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: it mattered, but the DOJ says it doesn't. Now both 69 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: sides John, they are claiming First Amendment violations in this. 70 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: The DOJ is saying Don Lemon infringed on the church 71 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: attendee's First Amendment rights. Lemon's attorney is saying the DOJ 72 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: is infringing on First Amendment rights that those of Don 73 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: Lemon by coming after him and his freedom of speech 74 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: and freedom of the press and whatnot. Pam Bondi today 75 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: said she personally ordered the arrest today and for agents 76 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: to move forward and make the arrest. We'll see where 77 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: it goes, as it will be heading back to Minnesota. 78 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: We'll see first La what the judge here says, and 79 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: then it will move back to Minnesota. I saw a 80 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: report that the group that invaded the church that Lemon 81 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: was either chronicling or connected to pick the church because 82 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: they thought the pastor was somehow involved with ICE activities. 83 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: Have you seen that, reporter or is there any other 84 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: reason given? Yeah, they do claim that, and I think 85 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: it turned out that it was like an assistant pastor 86 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: or somebody who is an ICE official, that they did 87 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: have some correct information that that was a church that 88 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: was connected to an ICE official. Nonetheless, the DOJ is 89 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: saying that doesn't matter that that you don't have the 90 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: right to go in and and disrupt a church service, 91 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: whether whatever the pastor or assistant pastor what they do 92 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: to to lead the congregation. But yeah, that is why 93 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: they targeted that church. That they had intel that that 94 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: there was an ICE leader who ran the church or 95 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: had a leadership role in the church, and that's why 96 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: they went there. So he spent a night in jail 97 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: here in La well kind of midnight on so the 98 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: time that he was booked into the Federal Detention Center 99 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: downtown and then now he'll be or is right now 100 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: appearing at the roy Ball Building. You know, all one 101 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: big building right there downtown, so the early morning hours 102 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: until today and then we'll see he may go right 103 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: back to Minneapolis, or he may remain here through the weekend. 104 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: But eventually did get assented to Minneapolis. Yeah, he's not 105 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: going to stay here, So the judge likely is going 106 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: to send them right back to Minnesota. The judge in 107 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: LA is not going to have a lot of ability 108 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: to do much because there was a federal arrest warrant 109 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: from the indictment out of Minnesota. It's not California's case. 110 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: The charges weren't brought here. He just was here. His 111 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 1: attorneys said to cover the Grammys and that he just 112 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: happened to be in LA's jurisdiction, and so they took 113 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: him into custody. But they have no say over the case. 114 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: They have nothing to do with it. The judge here 115 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: has to see him that he is legally before him 116 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: and say you've been arrested, and he gets his first appearance. 117 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: Then he goes to Minnesota and has to do it 118 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: all over again. All right, thank you, Alex, Yeah you 119 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: got it. Thanks Alex Stone. Now we know that Karen 120 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: Bass is not interested in all the palisades fire victims, 121 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 1: that's for sure. But she is very interested and upset 122 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: with Don Lemon getting arrested. Listen to this again, did 123 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: you ever hear this passion about the suffering that the Palisades' 124 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: residents have gone through? She says, the arrest of Lemon 125 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: is quote an egregious assault on his constitutional rights. The 126 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: statement from Bass says Don Lemon, an internationally known and 127 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 1: renowned journalist and friend, was arrested last night by federal 128 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: agents and now's in custody in Los Angeles simply for 129 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: doing his job and following a protest into a church 130 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: in Minneapolis while reporting the story. The arrest of journalists 131 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: for going into a church and the course of reporting 132 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: is shocking enough. But what's even more alarming that it's 133 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: no secret that Don Lemon is a Trump critic. Well, 134 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,559 Speaker 1: they got they got the charges approved by a grand 135 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: jury and then a judge signed off. And if you 136 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: listen to Lemon's clip, he well, I read a transcript 137 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 1: of it. He talks about we we have an operation 138 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: going on here. Like I said before, he's trying to 139 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: play both sides of this. So I hate probably Craft 140 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: did this that he would he's in sympathy with the movement. 141 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: He wanted to do his part for the movement and 142 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: do some live streaming or what the hell he does. 143 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: And then you know, if he gets Acosta, it's like, hey, hey, 144 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just a journalist here. I'm just exercising 145 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 1: the First Amendment. Well, he's classic with the First Amendment 146 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: rights of those who went to church that day and 147 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: wanted to take in the church service. So we'll see 148 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: whose rights end up being more important than the other rights. 149 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: It's just the word of nonsense. But she did notice 150 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: Karen Bass right Karen Bass right away as a statement. 151 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: She's full of fire and anger over the way Don 152 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: Lemon is getting treated and how much sympathy, how much 153 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: empathy has the Palisades fire victims got from Bass when 154 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: they gave her seven days a warning about the fire 155 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: danger and the wind danger. She got on a plane 156 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: to Africa. And I'm going to remind the world of 157 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: that just about every day of my life until she's 158 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: out of office. She ought to be in cuffs what 159 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: she's done. 160 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 161 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: six forty. 162 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: You got two rounds of the Moistline coming up next 163 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: hour if you want to get on for next week 164 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: eight seven seven mois Steady six as always eight seven 165 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: seven Moist staighty six or usually talkback feature on the 166 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app. We continue to keep an eye on and 167 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: on the phony, baloney, waste of time protests down in 168 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: downtown Los Angeles.

Wasn't mad at 174 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: you know, if I say, Genie Kinez for leaving the 175 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,439 Speaker 1: reservoir empty, right, But she's mad at the Trump administration 176 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: because Don Lemon is getting prosecutor why would she give 177 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: a crap about Don Lemon. Well, he got arrested in 178 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: Beverly Hills and for storming into a church with a 179 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: group of protesters in Minneapolis. Now he claims he was 180 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: a journalist covering the protest. But there are people who 181 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: were trying to enjoy the religious service, and they had 182 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: all these hooligans coming in there. The assistant pastor had 183 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: some connection to Ice, they said, and so that means 184 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: protest the religious followers can't enjoy their service in peace, 185 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: which actually potentially could violate several federal laws. And that's 186 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: why Lemon got arrested. And it went before a grand 187 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: jury and a judge signed off on it. And so 188 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: that's Don Lemon's problem. Karen bast though, is all upset. 189 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,080 Speaker 1: She's very upset that Don Lemon got arrested. How dare they? Well, 190 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: here's once again to reinforce my point how she doesn't 191 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: care about the Palisades fire victims. Here's a report from 192 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: ABC seven Josh Haskell. When I saw this, I couldn't 193 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: believe it. They want to make the fire victims pay 194 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: for a new fire hydrant before rebuilding, like cut five. 195 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 3: As if losing your home of thirty four years wasn't 196 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 3: bad enough. The rebuilding process for Pacific Palisades residents Chris 197 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: and Jeff Spitz has been anything but smooth. 198 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 4: Fire department came back and said, well, before we approve 199 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 4: this permit, we need a new hydrant to be put 200 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 4: in because you guys are more than twice the legal 201 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,599 Speaker 4: limit from the closest fire hydrant and please contact LADWP 202 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 4: to get a cost estimate for what you'll have to 203 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 4: pay to build this and install this new fire hydrant. 204 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 5: It was so shocking that I would that was nauseated 205 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 5: by it, because our insurance certainly wouldn't have covered that. 206 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 3: The spits Is felt they were being punished for wanting 207 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 3: to rebuild. Adding to the confusion, this hydrant issue didn't 208 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 3: come up for their neighbors who built new homes within 209 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: the last ten years before the fire. 210 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 5: We didn't just tear this down willy nilly and say, oh, 211 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 5: we want to build a brand new house. This is 212 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 5: just trying to come back. 213 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 6: The closest fire hydrant to the Spitz's home is roughly 214 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 6: one thousand feet away, and as you can see, all 215 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 6: of the homes in their neighborhood, especially the homes closer 216 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 6: to the fire hydrant, burned in the Palisades fire. There's 217 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 6: currently two fire hydrants near the Spitzes home, one at 218 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 6: Lombard Avenue and Via de Los Olas and one at 219 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 6: Lombard Avenue and Friendstreet. 220 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 7: My level of outrage is through the roof. I really 221 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 7: can't imagine much more insulting something to someone that has 222 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 7: lost their home with this kind of devastation that they 223 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 7: need to pay to put in new fire hydrants. 224 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: Los Angeles City council Woman Tracy Park represents Pacific Palisades 225 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: and arranged a meeting with the laf D in LEDWP 226 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 3: last month to resolve this issue. After being stalled in 227 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 3: the rebuilding process for eleven weeks, the Spitzes were told 228 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 3: by their councilwoman the issue had been resolved. LEDWP tells 229 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: Ewen's News they will cover the cost of installing a 230 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 3: new fire hydrant at the price tag of thirty five 231 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: thousand dollars. During the Palisades fire, DWP says demand for 232 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 3: water in the Palisades reached four times normal use, resulting 233 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 3: in water pressure issues that prevented water from coming out 234 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 3: of some hydrants. 235 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 5: They're aware that fires happen here all the time, and 236 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 5: in all that time, no one did anything about the 237 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 5: fire hydrants. 238 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 3: LEDWP also tells Eyewinness News placement of hydrants is determined 239 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 3: by the LAFD and that a future water mainline upgrade 240 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 3: in the Spitzes neighborhood will increase the hydrant's flow rate. 241 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 3: Based on discussions with the LAFD. DWP doesn't anticipate that 242 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: additional fire hydrants will be needed in the Palisades, but 243 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 3: if they are, who pays for it will be determined 244 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,479 Speaker 3: on a case spike case basis. 245 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: Josh Haskell ABC seven, No, this is something that the 246 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: city and the DWP should always pay for. We pay 247 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: taxes so you can install fire hydrants. What a bunch 248 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: of bozos? Did you hear all the details in this 249 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: These poor people lost their home they'd been in thirty 250 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: four years. When it's time to rebuild it got bollocked 251 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: up for eleven weeks because Jennie Kennez is LEDWP wanted 252 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: to charge them thirty five thousand dollars to build a 253 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: new hydrant or install a new hydrant. What the hell 254 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: are they insane? All the tax money they get, all 255 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: the water money they get, and all the money they 256 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: get for are the electric bills. We've got double the 257 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: electric costs in this state compared to the rest of 258 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: the country. We have high water rates and high taxes, 259 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: property taxes, sales taxes, income taxes. The hydrants were all busted. 260 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: Remember there was over a thousand of them that didn't work. Again, 261 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: where's Karen vass with this, Karen Bass was never upset 262 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: that the the fire hydrants didn't work, never upset about 263 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: the lousy water pressure, because they never built the infrastructure 264 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: in the Palisades and elsewhere in the city to handle 265 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: modern day Los Angeles. Billions and billions had been diverted 266 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: to homeless people. Nothing to build a underground mainline for 267 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: the water, nothing to make just to check on the 268 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: fire hydrants and make sure they work, and a thousand 269 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: of them didn't. Not to mention the empty reservoir one 270 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen million gallon reservoir. Bass never talks about 271 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: any of this. She's never upset. But Don Lemon gets 272 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: arrested at a Beverly Hills hotel. That's worthy of an 273 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: outraged statement. She's insane, absol If you were mayor and 274 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: want to a family, your residents, your constituents, your tax 275 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: beyers house burned down, trying to rebuild the house, they're told, no, 276 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: you've got to You've got to pay for the fire hydrant. 277 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: Would you charge the family for the fire hydrant? Would 278 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: you do that? What is the tax money for? What 279 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: is the water and electricity money for? 280 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 6: That? 281 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: We pay it in our bills every two months. What 282 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: is that for? It doesn't buy a hydrant. So Tracy 283 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: Park is the only functioning part of the Los Angeles 284 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: government seems to be Tracy Park. So she arranges a 285 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: meeting with the fire department and the Los Angeles Department 286 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: of Water and Power, a meeting. Where was the fire 287 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: department on this? It took eleven weeks? This is so 288 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: so crazy. Does everybody in the city government have brain damage? Seriously? 289 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: Does this Bass and Kenonias have brain damage? You charge 290 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: a family thirty five thousand dollars after you let their 291 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: home burn. You Bass, let the Palisades burn, Keinonias, let 292 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 1: the Palisades burn, Kristin Crowley, let the Palisades burn. Now 293 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: it's burned, there's nothing left but ashes and rubble. Oh, 294 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: you want a fire hydrant and that's thirty five thousand dollars. Oh, 295 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: this is what people ought to be protesting about, not 296 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: the stupid anti ice rallies to bed. We can't get 297 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party interested in what's happened to the 298 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: Palisades homeowners. Maybe they would fund some of the uh 299 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: some anti Bass protests instead of this anti ice garbage. 300 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 301 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 2: six forty. 302 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: We're on every day from one until four o'clock and 303 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: then after four o'clock John Cobel Show on demand on 304 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 1: the iHeart app. You want to listen to our one 305 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: o'clock hour on the podcast if you've missed it, because 306 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 1: there we went extensively into the details.

A guy 310 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: named Neville Roy Singham. He is worth close to eight 311 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars and he is an American citizen who 312 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: moved to China after he sold his IT business, and 313 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: he now finances many of the left wing crazy groups 314 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: that are screaming in the streets against ice. His money 315 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: fueled the Los Angeles riot we had in June. His 316 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: money is fueling the rioting that's going on in Minneapolis. 317 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: We've got new protests today in Minneapolis, in LA and 318 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: other cities because it's some sort of day to do nothing. 319 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: I don't understand this. I tell all these unemployed losers, 320 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: they come up with these ridiculous titles. First, it was 321 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: no Kings that had zero effect on the Trump administration. Now, 322 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: this is a do nothing day. You're not supposed to 323 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: work or go to school or a shop. So on 324 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: a Friday afternoon, hardly anybody works. And I don't I 325 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: don't understand. You don't you don't shop? And what is that? 326 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: And that's supposed to stop ice in its tracks, that's 327 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: supposed to get Donald Trump to reverse his deportation orders. 328 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: These people are really childish, silly little toddlers with bad 329 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: temper tantrums. They're losers. Go get jobs. You should go 330 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: and have families and get jobs and have a purpose 331 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: and a point to your life instead of standing in 332 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: the street waving your stupid sign and banging your idiotic drum. 333 00:19:54,760 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: It's really exhausting. Now here's another thing. Trump said that. Well, 334 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: you remember he issued an executive order to try to 335 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: streamline the permitting process that Karen Bass and Gavin nufsm 336 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: have all bollocked up. And he also says he wants 337 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: to stop a low income housing project from being developed 338 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: in the Palisades. He said this during a cabinet meeting, 339 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: and he says they want to build a low income 340 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: housing project right in the middle of everything in the Palisades. 341 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm not going to allow it to happen. I'm not 342 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: going to let these people destroy the value of their houses. 343 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: And I've heard this repeatedly reported that all the politicians 344 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: were kind of confused. They didn't know of a major 345 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: low income housing project. Karen Bass says, there's no plan 346 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: to bring low income housing to the Palisades. It's not true. 347 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: There couldn't possibly be a project that neither the council 348 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: member nor the mayor would have any knowledge of. And 349 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: then Newsom has this weirdo is he Arden, who's his spokeshole. 350 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: The President of the United States is a bumbling idiot 351 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: and has no idea what he's talking about. The narrative 352 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: that Gavin Newsom is trying to build a high density, 353 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: low income housing in the Palisades is absurd. But there's 354 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: something bugging me in the back of my head. So 355 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: I looked up to this online and this is dated 356 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: July eighth of last year. It's in a local publication 357 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: called The Center Square, written by Kenneth Shrump, and the 358 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: headline is Newsom unveils one hundred and one million dollars 359 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: to build Palisades low income housing. Six months after the 360 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: devastating Palisades and Eating fires, Newsome unveiled one hundred and 361 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: one million dollars in funding for quote multifamily low income 362 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: housing development that will contribute to a more equitable and 363 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: resilient Los Angeles. The priority is for geographic proximity to 364 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 1: the fire perimeters of the Eaton Hughes and Palisades fire. 365 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: Earlier this year, the Center Square broke news that a 366 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: local la ordnance required fire destroyed rent protected housing to 367 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 1: be replaced with low income housing that included all apartments 368 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: in the Palisades built before October of nineteen seventy eight. 369 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: Newsom said in a statement at the time, thousands of 370 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: families from the Palisades to Altadena to Malibu are still displaced, 371 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 1: and we owe it to them to help. The funding 372 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: we're announcing today will accelerate the development of affordable, multi 373 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: family rental housing so that those rebuilding their lives after 374 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: this tragedy have access to a safe, affordable place to 375 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: come home to. And then there's details on how the 376 00:22:53,920 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: whole financing situation works. Yet you have Karen Bass and 377 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: Knewsom as weirdo spokeshole claiming there's no such thing. Also, 378 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: there is a woman named Mariam Tzar Palisades resident says 379 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: many in the Palisades fear a project on the side 380 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: of the Shell gas station that a developer named Justin 381 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: Kohanoff said he wanted to build into an eight story, 382 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: one hundred unit low income building. Klonov's father, Sayid Kolanov, 383 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: declined to comment other than saying the family has no 384 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: immediate plans to develop the property. So there's our plans 385 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: all over the place. Maybe they're not operational at the moment, 386 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: but it's not like they don't exist. It's not like 387 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: there hasn't been money funded. It's not like this developer 388 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: hasn't obviously spoke publicly what he'd like to do with 389 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: the s gas station, a lot in fact, one hundred 390 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: and one million dollars that Newsom committed to. According to 391 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: La Times, the program allows affordable housing developers to apply 392 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: for financing and prioritize prioritizes projects that are near wildfire 393 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: burn areas. The program required the developments to remain affordable 394 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: for more than a half century, and the weird spokeshole 395 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: for Newsom, Easy Guardone, said the state is providing resources 396 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: for developers to rebuild below market rate housing. I don't 397 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: think Trump was a bubbling gidion. I don't think he 398 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 1: was crazy. I don't think he was talking about something 399 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: that doesn't exist. There may not be a plan that 400 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: has been approved and is actively being worked on, but 401 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: obvious and I remember one of the state senators, I 402 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: think it was Ben Allen, had some kind of state 403 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: law that he was proposing that had something to do 404 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: with developing affordable housing in the Palisades, and there was 405 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: so much screaming about that that he pulled the bill 406 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: and admitted that it needed to be reworked. So there's 407 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: been plenty of affordable housing stories in the air. What 408 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: is best talking about? Could she and knew some weirdo 409 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: spoke soul? Can you people possibly just fake telling the 410 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: truth for even five minutes? More coming up? 411 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 412 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: six forty. 413 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: We are on from one until four o'clock. After four 414 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 1: o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app 415 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: and you can listen to what you missed. This is infuriating. 416 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: I've been infuriating all day haven't I. This is one 417 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: thing after another. This is from public radio Las dot com. 418 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: La County is considering plans to remove thousands of homeless 419 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: people from the areas around the sports venues ahead of 420 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: the Olympic Games in twenty twenty eight. Do you hear this? 421 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: Twenty twenty eight, the Olympic Games. Suddenly thousands of homeless 422 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,920 Speaker 1: people will be removed. We've been putting up with them 423 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: in La County for over ten years now, maybe twelve 424 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: years that I can remember it being a real problem 425 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: and noticeable. We have seventy thousand homeless people in the county, 426 00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: seventy thousand, and now after twelve years, they say, well, 427 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: in the next two years, because foreigners are coming for 428 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: the Olympic Games, we are going to move the vagrants, 429 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: the mental patients, and the drug addicts. County officials issued 430 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: a strategy report last week, advising local governments on how 431 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: to clear people from encampments. You mean they didn't have 432 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: a strategy report back in Oh, I don't know. Twenty fourteen, 433 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, 434 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Shall I go on a strategy to how 435 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: to clear people from encampments near major events and move 436 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: them into temporary housing. Why can't you Why haven't you 437 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: done that for the last twelve years. There are concerns 438 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: that there won't be enough beds to get the beds. 439 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: There's no new funding for such an effort. Go find 440 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: the money. You blew billions. You can't track the billions. 441 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: Stop spending it on all the criminal nonprofits. How about 442 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: you get the money back from those two characters that 443 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: got indicted, the Brentwood guy, the the uh that that scandal. 444 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: Remember the Brentwood guy. He got millions of dollars and 445 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: then he flipped the property in Chevy At Hills for 446 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: like twenty yeah, yeah, thirteen million I think he bought 447 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 1: it with and then he flipped it got twenty seven million. 448 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: And then two other guys were involved in the second 449 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: company who were on leave. Now those characters, Oh wait, 450 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: wait anid How about that Alexander sufer in Westwood who 451 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: stole twenty three million dollars and he's got a seven 452 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: million dollar house in the range Rover and the wife 453 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: is on the payroll and they're vacationing in Hawaii and 454 00:28:55,280 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: he's wearing twelve hundred dollars shoes. How about that? Used that? 455 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: Use that for the funding. Sarah Maheine is La County's 456 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: director of Homeless Services and Housing. Oh, we better write 457 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: her name down. This seems to be a new character. Yeah, 458 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: they pulled that Alasa because Loasa was so criminal and corrupt, 459 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: because Karen Bass has been squawking about that. How they 460 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: lak well because Bass's friend she Uh presided over all 461 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: the corruption there. So Sarah Maheen submitted the report. Port 462 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: of Supervisors asked. They also sent it to the cities 463 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 1: along Los Angeles Long Beach in Englewood. Sheila Myers with 464 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: the Legal Aid Foundation of LA said the strategy is 465 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: aimed at eliminating visible signs of homelessness rather than addressing 466 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: the root causes. That's a good one, Sheila. The root causes. 467 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: The root causes are drug addiction and mental illness, and 468 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: they all ought to be locked up in mental health 469 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: wards and drug addiction wards. There's your root causes, root causes. 470 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: You're not actually getting people off the streets. Well, yes, 471 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: you will be. In fact, once you build the buildings 472 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: and you get the beds, lock them inside so they 473 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: can't get out. They don't want them to scare all 474 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: the tourists and the travelers for the Olympics. How about 475 00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: not scaring us. Rachel Cassenbrock, spokeshole for La County's Homeless 476 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: Services and Housing, said the county does not intend to 477 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 1: displace anyone without connecting them with adequate housing resources and sport. 478 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: So why haven't you been doing this for the last 479 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: fourteen years. Efforts to remove unhoused people will focus on 480 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: the security perimeters of the Olympic venues. Oh nowhere else? 481 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: Are they just going to move them outside the perimeters. 482 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: Some new neighborhoods will have to suffer with the feces 483 00:30:59,440 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: and the needle. 484 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 3: That's just. 485 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 1: The largest security perimeter will likely be for the opening 486 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: ceremonies at Sofi Stadium and the LA Memorial Coliseum. Is 487 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: all this is also galling twelve years of nothing. The 488 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: Olympics are coming to town, and then what happens the 489 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: day after the Olympics are over. Everybody comes back. They 490 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: bring back all their feces and needles and insanity and 491 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: drug addiction. I don't know why you put up at 492 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: this stuff. Absolutely, this is so fascinating to me. How 493 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: a metropolitan area of millions of people can put up 494 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: with all the dangers and the indignities and the theft 495 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: of your tax money. And these people make their pronouncements like, 496 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: oh yeah, twenty twenty eight, Yeah, we're gonna be cleaning 497 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 1: up those encampments.
