1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on from one 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: to four o'clock and then after four o'clock it's John 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Look at 5 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,319 Speaker 1: that now we're going to start off. But the boy, 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: there was a really annoying group of terrorist supporters that 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: blocked the one ten. Maybe you were in this for 8 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: two hours and it backed up traffic a long way. 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: They actually dragged a seven foot manora onto the freeway. 10 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: This group is called if Not Now Los Angeles, and 11 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: they had announced they were going to do a downtown protest. 12 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: And this is don't let any of these groups fool you. 13 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: They're full blown supporters of Hamas, and they're full blown 14 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: supporters of Jewish genocide and they try to cover it with, oh, 15 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: we just care about the people of guys that know, 16 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: they don't they what they want to do is they 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: want to eradicate Jews from the planet. That's their real goal. 18 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 1: And so there was big crowd on the freeway. They 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: parked the cars on the freeway. Blake Trolley ran down 20 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: to the scene. What did you find, Well, It was. 21 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 2: A really interesting trip getting over there, John, given the 22 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 2: fact that the freeway itself was shut down, and my 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: maps kept wanting to divert me onto the one ten 24 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: to get up into the zone. So we took some 25 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: side streets into the area, and just even on the 26 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 2: side streets. You talk about the traffic being backed out, 27 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 2: backed up on the freeway, but even on the side 28 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: streets it was snarled through a lot of downtown LA, 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: and it was really tricky to figure out exactly where 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: we were going to park to make it onto the scene. 31 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: The group really nailed a critical spot for commuters between 32 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 2: Second and Third Street, so really the heart of downtown LA. 33 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: They locked arms sat across the freeway as commuters really 34 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: just sat there and had to wait for the commotion 35 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: to end. Drivers grew frustrated waiting around. There were several 36 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: shoving matches. At one point a person was thrown onto 37 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 2: the hood of a car. Two motorcyclists said the hell 38 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: with it and actually went through the protest line and 39 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: continued south. Now, this was definitely an organized effort with 40 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: some planning, with protesters using at least two methods to 41 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: get onto the freeway. 42 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: Some of these people. 43 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: They exited their cars on the freeway and began walking 44 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,959 Speaker 2: and chanting before forming that line. You've probably seen a 45 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: lot of photos of now on the internet where they 46 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: locked arms and sat on the freeway. Others, at least 47 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: a few, entered through a break and a chainling fence 48 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: where a homeless man lives. When I pulled up to 49 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 2: the one ten John, I saw this homeless guy escorting 50 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: two people out from the freeway area. When I talked 51 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: to him, he actually told me he helped protesters some late 52 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: arrivals to the party show up. 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,519 Speaker 4: Yes, I did. Yes, there's a whole defense right here. 54 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: I lifted it up and I was able to help 55 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: them get out there once they started doing their protests 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: up the highway. 57 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: You lifted a hole in the fence. How many people 58 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: went through the hole in the fence that you lifted, 59 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 3: probably about five or six. Did you help all of 60 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 3: the entire group get out then or no? 61 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 4: No, But I believe it's part of their group out there. 62 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: They're like, maybe people are kind of organized it a 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 4: little bit. 64 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: Maybe you said you actually put up your own sign. 65 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 4: Yes this is black black uh black tarp on the 66 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: highway says stop killing gaza. 67 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: Okay, you put up a black tarp on the highway 68 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 2: that says stopped killing Gaza. 69 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 3: That was your tarp. 70 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 71 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 4: Then the state tuber kicked it and told me get 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 4: up the highway and uh, I guess it wasn't moving 73 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 4: fast enough. He was screaming at me. 74 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: Do you live here, sir? Yes, okay, you live here. 75 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: So you helped about five or six of them get 76 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: out on the on the highway. 77 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'll do it again. 78 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: You're willing to do it again? Let them back out? 79 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 2: And what is the message that you're you're trying to 80 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 2: get out today? 81 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: Just stop killing? 82 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 4: Should be killing? He shows you be loving each other. 83 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: Now. 84 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: This group claims that they're American Jews. 85 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. 86 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: The group, at least as for their press release, it's 87 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: a group of progressive Jewish people. They posted a graphic 88 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: photo after this uh organ uh this organized protest on 89 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: the one ten of a young person walking with a 90 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: body in their hands, with flooded streets and gaza. 91 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 3: They say they plan to continue to protest. 92 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: What they really want to see, according to their you know, 93 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: according to their materials, is they'd like to see funding 94 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: cut off, US funding cut off from Israel during or 95 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 2: for this conflict? 96 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 1: So are these fanatics really Jewish? Because I doubt all 97 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: these groups. I just don't believe anybody's message anymore. And 98 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: I wonder where they're getting their money from. Did anybody 99 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: explain who they are exactly? 100 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: You know, I'm still working to reach the group. Those 101 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: two people I told you about John that came off 102 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 2: the freeway. What I thought was interesting is, you know, 103 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 2: they're protesting, So I asked them, can do you want 104 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: to do an interview with us so we can understand 105 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 2: what message you're trying to get off? And they said no, 106 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: and they kept walking. So it's weirds like they would 107 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: They were on the freeway to protest, but they didn't 108 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: want to go on the biggest news radio station in 109 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: LA and tell us what they were trying to say. 110 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: So I felt like that was a little interesting. 111 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what makes me suspicious because this whole exercise 112 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: is future, I mean, absolutely futile. You are not going 113 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: to stop the Israelis from doing what they're going to do, 114 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: and you're not going to get Joe Biden to change 115 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: his position on this by standing on a freeway in La. 116 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: So these people seem like they're anarchists. You know, they're 117 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: just a more non violent version of Antifa. But it's 118 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: about snarling our way of life. And I doubt that 119 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: they're Jewish, and I doubt that they're not supporters of Hamas, 120 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: because what they're doing is only fouling up our daily life. 121 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: They're not changing this. If you wanted to help people 122 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 1: in Gaza, you would join the humanitarian aid organizations in Egypt, 123 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: right now, That's what you would do. I know of 124 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: somebody who did that. They're in Egypt now and they're 125 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: helping in whatever way they can to get food and 126 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: supplies into Gaza. People standing on a freeway. I don't 127 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: believe a word they say on their websites or in 128 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: their chances, or who they claim to be. I just 129 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 1: I did because it's an absurdity. 130 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: Well, all in all, John seventy five of these protesters 131 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 2: were arrested. They're being booked with failing to obey a 132 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: dispersal order now on scene. 133 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: Earlier, a big part of the. 134 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: Response that I saw was tow trucks taking cars off 135 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 2: the freeway. I'm told by CHP officer Roberto Gomez some 136 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: of these were protesters cars. But some of these cars 137 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 2: were actually people who broke down from just sitting there idling. 138 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: I'm presuming they ran out of gas just sitting on 139 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 2: the freeway. 140 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: And that just goes to show you don't process on 141 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: the freeway. 142 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 5: You're causing, you know, things for motorists that are trying 143 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 5: to get it from point to me to point B. 144 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: Some of you might have a medical condition, maybe you're 145 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: trying to drop off their children, whatever it may be, 146 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: just don't do it on the freeway. And I talked 147 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: to some CHP investigators today. They say, you know, they 148 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: are going to be watching this group and they're going 149 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 2: to be keeping a close eye on them to possibly 150 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: quell these types of protests from happening again. 151 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know how you do that exactly. I mean, 152 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: a lot of these groups exist only online. They talk 153 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: to each other, they communicate by cell phones, through texts 154 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: and emails and whatnot. A lot of these groups don't 155 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: have headquarters necessarily, They don't have meetup sites that you 156 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: can infiltrade And I guess they just all organized to 157 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: drive in a group and then stop at the same time. 158 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: Is that what it seemed like? 159 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, the way that they put 160 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 2: out the press release. They actually had notified the press 161 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: that they were going to be holding some sort of 162 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: demonstration today, and the way that they did it was 163 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: essentially they did not disclose the location. I think it 164 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: was up to the media to hit them up to 165 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: get that location. 166 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: I hope they tow the cars and crush them into bits. 167 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: That's what they should do.

I mean, I mean, 194 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: what is the pleasure that they get out of this? 195 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: They actually care what's going on in the Middle East? Really, 196 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean if they if they uh what, 197 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: I don't know why they don't go to the Middle East 198 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: and and do some humanitarian work that's uh something tangible, 199 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: something real, not these stupid protests and we're gonna we're 200 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: gonna sit on the ground or we're gonna lock arms, 201 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: like whoa, yeah, you're changing the world, just completely flaccid. 202 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: All right, more coming up on the John Cobelt Show. 203 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I 204 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 5: AM six forty. 205 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: We're on from one to four and after four o'clock 206 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: John Cobelt show on demand on the iHeart app as 207 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: we Okay, I caught myself. So we were just talking 208 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: about this stupid group called if Not Now and and 209 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: they claim to be Jewish and they claim to be 210 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: against the way Israel is treating the people in Gaza. 211 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: So they they they're in Los Angeles and what is 212 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: this like seven thousand miles away and they're blocking traffic 213 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: on the one ten freeway for two hours and thousands 214 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: of people are backed up, people are running out of gas, 215 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: and people started jumping out of their car and getting 216 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: into fights with these idiots. And I'm trying to figure out, Okay, 217 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: what's what's their angle? What's their real angle here? Because 218 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: let they I mean, they could be completely insane, but 219 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: if they're not completely insane, so what's what's what's the 220 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: point of all this? Because Eric and I were talking 221 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 1: and it's like Eric said, well, they're not going to 222 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: go and help in Gaza because they get killed there. 223 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: They're Jewish. The Gazans don't want help from Jews. They 224 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: want to kill the Jews. That's the whole point here, 225 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: and that's why Israel is doing what it's doing because, oh, 226 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: by the way, you see, all the leaders of Hamas 227 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: have all fled Katar. They were all staying in luxury 228 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: hotels such as the Four Seasons Hotel, and they were 229 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: hiding in the Katari capitol, and now they've all fled, 230 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: so they see things are really really going bad because 231 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: Israel really is crushing everything in sight in Gaza. So 232 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: now the leaders realize, oh, time to get out, and 233 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: they leave all the regular people behind to die. The 234 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: people that are killing Gosins are the leaders of Hamas. 235 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: They're the ones who created this situation. They're the ones 236 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: who are a danger to the people. The Israelis will 237 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: leave them alone if they would stop their genocide tactics. 238 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm going to look up, if not now, 239 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: movement dot org because I'm I'm always curious, like where's 240 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: this stuff come from? And then all I had to 241 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: do was to go to the page why we organize. 242 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: You scroll down to the bottom and most people wouldn't 243 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: notice this, but they have an address, a contact address. 244 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,199 Speaker 1: Sixteen to twenty nine K Street, Northwest sweet three hundred Washington, DC. 245 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: K Street is Lobbyists Row. That is where all the 246 00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: expensive lobbying organizations have their corporate offices because lobbying is 247 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: a huge industry, and that's where the guys in the 248 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: suits are settled in so they can lobby congressmen, senators, 249 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: the White House. They get paid huge amounts of money 250 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: from their clients. You know, if you're with the petroleum industry, 251 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 1: or the dairy industry or the the drug industry, right, 252 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: you pay these lobbying groups millions of dollars. The lobbying 253 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: groups also facilitate all the campaign donations, So this is 254 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: all about bribery and greasing and enriching themselves. You work 255 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: for as a lobbyist. You make an enormous amount of 256 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: money if you work for one of these groups. And 257 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: that's what this scam is. Because on the website of 258 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: if Not Now, it is a lot of pleas for donations, 259 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: donations for what, well, well for the staff. I'm sure 260 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: the leaders of this group are making hundreds of thousands 261 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: of dollars each They always do. That's why politicians, as 262 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: soon as they're out of office, most of them become 263 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: lobbyists and they make much better money. You can make 264 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: far more money in the private sector if you've been 265 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: a congressman because they hire you for your contacts. They 266 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: know that you can have lunch and dinner with a 267 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: lot of targets, a lot of other politicians whose vote 268 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: you want to buy, and so that's how the game 269 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: is played. So this is not some grassroots organization. This 270 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: is not local people. This is a national lobbying organization 271 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: based in Washington, d C. On K Street, Okay, And 272 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: that is the inner circle of hell for political corruption 273 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: is K Street. That's where all the bribery happens. That's 274 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 1: what this is about. And I imagine they pay these 275 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: mostly younger people a certain amount of money and they 276 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 1: organize online. And here's a plan. Okay, take your car, 277 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: let's meet a big group at a stage of area. 278 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: Let's drive down the one ten freeway. Let's all stop 279 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: at the same time right between second and third Street exits, 280 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: and get out of the car and drag the minora 281 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: out and tell everybody we're actually Jews trying to help 282 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: the situation. B s. They're full of it. And all 283 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: they did is to ruin people's days for hours and hours, 284 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: and you could see they don't want to Nobody wanted 285 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: to talk to Blake from the organization. They don't want 286 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: to get their message out. They're just paid to create 287 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: huge disruption. Who knows who's behind this group really, who 288 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: knows who really finances it, Who knows if it's even 289 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: somebody in this country. I think there's a lot of 290 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: forces in the world who want to disrupt America, and 291 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: they've been doing it now for about ten years. I 292 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: think the Internet is really facilitated a lot of organization 293 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: and facilitate a lot of money, so that you could 294 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: disrupt just about anything if you have enough catch and 295 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: there's enough losers who apparently I guess none of these 296 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: people really work for it. Ever. Wonder you remember being, 297 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, twenty or twenty five years old, go to college, 298 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: or you had your first job, or so you had 299 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: hours every day to park your car in the middle 300 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: of the one ten freeway and then have the police 301 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: tow it away, and then you got to pay the 302 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: towing charge, and then you got to pay the ticket, 303 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: and then you've got to pay for the disorderly conduct 304 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: charge or failure to disperse. Who had that time when 305 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: they were, like when they were twenty two, twenty five 306 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: years old? Now Israel has installed five pumps a mile 307 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: from the Al Shati refugee camp, and they are now 308 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: pumping sea water into Hamasa's tunnels across the Gaza Strip. 309 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: They are literally flushing the terrace out of their underground 310 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: tunnel hide out. They're going to be moving thousands of 311 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: cubic meters of water per hour, and there's three hundred 312 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: miles of tunnels. The operations already begun. It's going to 313 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: take weeks, and it's going to chase all these cockroaches 314 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: out from the tunnels unless they want to stay there 315 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: and drown. And the Israeli Defense Force Chief of staff 316 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: told a press conference that employing water pumps would be 317 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: a good idea, and so that's what they're doing. And 318 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: Hamas had a lot of equipment down there, they had 319 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: a lot of organizing space, and at a lot of 320 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: their troops would live and operate from underneath it. Of course, 321 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: the tunnels went underneath all the hospitals and schools and 322 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: neighborhoods to try to use the human beings as shields, 323 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: and Israel said, you know what, We're not gonna play 324 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: that game anymore. You don't get to use your people 325 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 1: as shields to try to keep us from destroying Amas. 326 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: We're going to destroy himas anyway, You've had all fair warning, 327 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: so let's go. And they've done it. And this is 328 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: the way you conduct a war. If we conducted some 329 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: of our other wars like this over the last twenty years, 330 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 1: we wouldn't have been sitting in Afghanistan for twenty years 331 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: or Iraq for all those years. Because Israel, when they 332 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: go to war, they're dead serious. All right, More coming 333 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: up two o'clock. You know what we're gonna have on 334 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: two o'clock. We are going to talk to an ABC reporter. 335 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: Tesla is having to recall almost all their cars, two 336 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: million Sedan's and crossovers, almost every vehicle that Tesla makes 337 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: over their autopilot. The autopilot is technology. I think it's 338 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: self evident what it does. This, there's a federal government's 339 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: autopilot doesn't have enough safeguards to make sure the drivers 340 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: aren't misusing it. We'll get all the details on this. 341 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: Coming up, we're gonna have Mike Dubusky on from ABC News. 342 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 343 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: John Cobel Show. That's what it is. Okay, I'm one 344 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: for three so far. Hey, in San Francisco, this is amusing. 345 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 1: Here the district attorney up there, this is the one 346 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: Brooke Jenkins, right, who's the whack job she replaced? Remember 347 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: they recalled their district attorney. I've like blocked the guy 348 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: out of my head. He was so bad. Chessap Boudine, right, 349 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: he was their version of George Gascon. And in San 350 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: Francisco they recalled chessa Boudine. Here we had a corrupt 351 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: La County Registrar's office and they messed with the with 352 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: the signal, so we couldn't get Gascone recalled. Last year, however, 353 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: Brooke Jenkins took over as the district attorney and she's, uh, 354 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's by San Francisco standard. She's not this hopeless, 355 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: woke call. And she was on a panel with the 356 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 1: mayor London Breed and other city leaders and was asked 357 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: what they should do about homeless people, and she said 358 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: something that had people clutching their pearls. Play clip number four. 359 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 6: Question, District Attorney Jenkins, is there anything legal that can 360 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 6: be done for that fifty percent that's half of the 361 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 6: homeless population in San Francisco. That just basically says, I 362 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 6: don't care how many times you come out and see 363 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 6: me this, I don't want to go. Is there any 364 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 6: what's the what's the recourse? 365 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 7: So that I think the recourse is obviously outside of 366 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 7: the criminal justice system, But is it it is? I mean, 367 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 7: the criminals. 368 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 6: Somebody can just say no, I'm camping here. 369 00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 7: Well, no, they have to be made to be uncomfortable, 370 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 7: is the truth of the matter. We cannot make it 371 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 7: comfortable for them to pitch a tent. 372 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,439 Speaker 1: On our sidewalks and stay. 373 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 7: And so that's the theory of being able to now 374 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 7: respond and say you have been offered shelter, you have 375 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 7: refused it. Now you must move and we have to 376 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 7: stay vigilant. 377 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: So there's all this backlash against her because she implied 378 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: that living on the street can be comfortable. You see 379 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 1: the angle here. What she said was correct, but it 380 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: doesn't go far enough because the questioner was Phil Mattir. 381 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: He's a a longtime columnist and reporter. And of course 382 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: you can charge them with offenses. Of course you can. 383 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: Every homeless person commits dozens of offenses every day. For example, 384 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: if you just passed a law saying you can never 385 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: sleep on the sidewalk. As soon as you see somebody 386 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: sleeping on the sidewalk, out, you're gone. Move along. This 387 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: is an no go zone. You're not supposed to defecate 388 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: in public they do. You're not supposed to do drugs 389 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: in public they do. You're not supposed to urinate in 390 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: public they do. You're not supposed to be publicly disorderly. 391 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: They are just follow them around, not to mention all 392 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 1: the stealing they do. They're the ones who are walking 393 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: into all the local stores, and especially the convenience stops 394 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: and the grocery stores. And what did I read? Why 395 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: didn't I read about a homeless guy the other day? 396 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: I think it was on the next door app Oh, yeah, Debor, 397 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: you'll love this homeless guy walks in and starts grabbing 398 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: at all the food in the buffet. 399 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 8: Oh, that is one of my worst nightmares. That's why 400 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 8: I don't like buffets. That's exactly why. 401 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: Apparently the customer complaining went to the security guard, who said, well, 402 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: what do you want me to do about stop him? 403 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: Some guys like dirty, greasy hand, God knows what bodily 404 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,679 Speaker 1: emissions are on that, and he's got the hand right in. 405 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: Why do they sell out the buffet. 406 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 8: Oh, they have salads, they have all kinds of I 407 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 8: mean seriously, all kinds of thing, so. 408 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: He can stick his hand in the salad and do 409 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: his own mixing there. Yeah. Well, although you know. 410 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 8: What, John, I've seen non homeless people, you know, coughing 411 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 8: in their hand, picking their nose whatever, And then they 412 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 8: go in and they grab a cookie. Now they don't 413 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 8: use the tongs. 414 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: Right, right, so they got there. 415 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 3: They have their hands. 416 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 8: Touching everything or when people do that, and then they're 417 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 8: they're grabbing chips with their hands. 418 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: Oh I know, God, never ever go to bufface. 419 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 8: Only if somebody is serving at them. 420 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: I will go right if they're scooping the food and 421 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: putting it on the plate, and. 422 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 8: I'm the first one that gets in line, which I 423 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 8: have tried to do before. 424 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: I can't stand. I can't standard restaurants and whole foods. 425 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: It's just so gross. So anyway, she's getting all kinds 426 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: of craps, all kinds of crap, because what she's talking 427 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: about is doing is si and just forcing people to 428 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: move along and move along. You can put them in 429 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: jail if you repeatedly put them in jail for all 430 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: the offenses they commit all day. If you repeatedly said 431 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: gotta move, got to move, got to move, they're going 432 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: to leave your town, all right. And the proof of 433 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: that is in Beverly Hills, because they don't let anybody 434 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 1: pitch a tent on any sidewalk in Beverly Hills or 435 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: any of the park areas. Somebody comes along, an ambassador 436 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: and says you must move along, and you know what, 437 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,479 Speaker 1: they pack up and they move along because these homeless people, 438 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: like all of us, want peace and quiet. They want 439 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: to sit there and do their drugs and pass out. 440 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: And if there's some annoying mood saying can I help you, 441 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: it's like having a waitress, one of those over eager waitresses, 442 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 1: and you're trying to have a conversation and you're trying 443 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: to eat dinner. Is everything okay? Is that? Do you 444 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: need anything else? Is there anything that can help you with? 445 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: And after a while you just you want to slug them. 446 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: It's like, no, I don't want anything else, go away, 447 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 1: stop asking me. Well, it's the same thing with these 448 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: ambassadors and the homeless people. You just annoy them to death. 449 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: And this is how far and what did Filmetiers say? 450 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: Like fifty percent don't want help. In San Francisco fifty percent. 451 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: Do you know how much outreach has been done? This 452 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: has been going on. I mean it's been full, a 453 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: full blown disaster here in the LA area for six 454 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 1: years now at least. The first show is that we 455 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: did where the issue became big enough that we went 456 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: out to go see what was going on. We did 457 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: the show from skid Row, and we did the show 458 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: from the sant Ana riverbed in Orange County, and I 459 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: believe those were about six years ago. And then there 460 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: was the big, the big encampment in front of the 461 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: VA in Brentwood that was huge. Venice exploded, and it 462 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: was all under the Garcetti administration. I remember when Garceidi 463 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: first ran for office in twenty three team homelessness was 464 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: barely discussed. It was not an issue. I don't remember 465 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: homelessness being discussed during the Jerry Brown administration. But this 466 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: wasn't a thing. It suddenly blew up. This was a 467 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 1: concerted effort by the progressive religious zealots that everyone gets 468 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: to do whatever they want and this was the seeds 469 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: of anarchy. That was their philosophy. You don't want to 470 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: believe me. But this is all the stuff is done 471 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: on purpose. You know, when you grew up, wherever you 472 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: grew up, not one person was allowed to sleep in 473 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 1: the park or on the streets. There'd be a cop 474 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: and he'd make that person disappear. I know a guy 475 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: who is more or less runs one of the parks 476 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: on the West Side, and he will not allow anybody 477 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: to camp in the park. He personally makes sure the 478 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: guy disappears, intimidates him, yells at him, cajoles him. The 479 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 1: guy has got and there never ever, ever a single 480 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: homeless person at this park. Never. They're all chased out. 481 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: If you chase them out, make them uncomfortable with Burke 482 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: Jenkins is right. Where she's wrong is, of course, you 483 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: can charge them with misdemeanors, but that disrupts their day 484 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: and constantly having to deal with the misdemeanor charges. And 485 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: you book them, You take them away, and you book them, 486 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: and maybe you give them a few hours in jail. 487 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: They'll clear up the problem. They'll go some other city, 488 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: some other state, out in the desert wherever. They will 489 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: be here in your neighborhood. Try this for a year, 490 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: see how it works, all right, John Cobelt's show. 491 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 492 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 5: six forty. 493 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 9: You need to really do what you said John again, 494 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 9: she's you know what, I got distracted because I turned 495 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,479 Speaker 9: down my headset and I couldn't hear myself, so I 496 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 9: was focused on this little nob but I forgot what 497 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 9: show I'm doing? 498 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: All right, it's the John coblt Show. What am I 499 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: one for four? Yeah? Okay, we were just talking about 500 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: In San Francisco, the DA there, Brooke Jenkins got some 501 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: crap because she said homeless people ought to be made 502 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: uncomfortable because about half the homeless people are completely resistant 503 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: to any kind of intervention. All that stupid waste of 504 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: time outreach that and those nonprofits are making a lot 505 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: of money claiming they do outreach services and they fail 506 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: by the thousands every day. Same thing here in LA. 507 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: There was a story in the Wall Street Journal, right, yes, 508 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal about a specific Los Angeles nonprofit 509 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: and I am so I don't think skeptical. Is the 510 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: word suspicious? I'm suspicious of many, if not most of 511 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: them nonprofits here in LA, especially the ones that deal 512 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: with homelessness, are rackets and there's one nonprofit that was 513 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: given given government land in January of two thousand and 514 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: seven to build forty nine units of affordable housing. Now 515 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: that's not a big building forty nine units January two 516 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: thousand and seven, Can I mean sixteen? No, it was 517 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 1: almost next month, will be seventeen years ago. Seventeen years ago. 518 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: It was in Boyle Heights. And it is taken longer 519 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 1: to build than practically any other residential building in the 520 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 1: history of Los Angeles of building this size. So this 521 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: is why what's infuriating, First of all, that they constantly 522 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: badger us for more tax money for homelessness, and then 523 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: they claim, oh, we've got to do housing first. We've 524 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: got to build housing first for everybody, and then we'll 525 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: take them off the streets. Well, as you know, Karen Bass, 526 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: for all her chest bumping yesterday, admits that they only 527 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 1: put two hundred and sixty one vagrants in permanent housing 528 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty one this year. And part of 529 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: the reason, well big part of the reason, is that 530 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: there are no such thing as affordable housing units to 531 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: a large extent. It took seventeen years to build this 532 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: one forty nine unit development. Lorrain of Plaza and the 533 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal Rights. The seventeen years of false starts 534 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: and delays are an extreme instance of how difficult it 535 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: has been to build affordable housing in California. The development 536 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: has faced nearly every hurdle. The California laws allow opponents 537 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: to put in place to put it in the way 538 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: of affordable housing. Approvals by politicians and commissions take years, 539 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: often held up by a single determined opponent on the 540 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: city council. Now, these are all laws written by the 541 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: same people who then try to extort billions from us 542 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 1: in the name of compassion. I don't know who's been 543 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: running this nonprofit for seventeen years and how much money 544 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: they've made running the nonprofit, but they had a job here, 545 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: and for seventeen years they have failed at it. The 546 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: LA claims it's going to construct four hundred and fifty 547 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: thousand new homes by twenty twenty nine. That's a total 548 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: joke because that would be five times as much construction 549 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: has occurred in the previous decade. And that's according to 550 00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: cal State Northridge. So it's a completely busted system. The 551 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 1: reason the city doesn't build affordable housing is because of 552 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: its own laws of its own restrictions, its own regulations, 553 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: and they don't do anything to change it. So no 554 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: housing is gonna be built, No homeless people are gonna 555 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: be taken off the streets and put into permanent housing. 556 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: It simply will not happen, cannot happen because they don't 557 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: change the laws and the restrictions. What they do in 558 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: the meantime is suck billions of dollars out of us 559 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: and pay it to these nonprofits who treat themselves to 560 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 1: beautiful lives, gorgeous salaries, and beautiful offices. And basically, we're 561 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: all just a bunch of suckers. We're just absolute suckers. 562 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: When you see one of these, and they're gonna put 563 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: more of these on the ballot, you'll see more. There's 564 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: gonna be more homeless referendums. Let's borrow a billion here, 565 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: let's tax a couple of billion over there. Yes, and 566 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: it's for affordable housing. Yes, it's these the home. It 567 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: is a complete scam and a racket. And this story 568 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: in the Wall Street Journal, you should go read California 569 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: desperate for affordable housing but can't get it, can't stop 570 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: getting in its own way, and lorrain of Plaza, not 571 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: a person. That's the name of the development. And this 572 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: this is uh, this is just an abomination. It really is. 573 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,320 Speaker 1: One affordable housing builder who's based in Idaho, a guy 574 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 1: named calib Roope said, thinking about building in a city 575 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: like Los Angeles and dealing with the politics, navigating the bureaucracy, 576 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: it's the last place I want to be. So it's 577 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: a bust. It's a failure and everybody perpetuates the failure 578 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: because they can keep spending tax money. All the housing agencies, 579 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: all the nonprofit agents, they're all just a bunch of grifters. 580 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 1: All right, we come back.
