1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: from one until four, and then after four o'clock it's 4 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. 5 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 2: It gets posted. 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, shortly after four o'clock, you could listened to whatever 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: you miss. Let's go through this with Carl Demyo. We 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: have been talking about this periodically since yesterday. It is 9 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 1: really shocking. There are a contingent of Democrats in the 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: State Assembly who are trying to block a bill that 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: would make it an automatic felony to try to buy 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex. We're talking 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: about buying them for sex in public, because the bill 14 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: would criminalize loitering with intent to buy sex. It's a 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: loophole that the Democrat that's created last year and now 16 00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: a Democratic assembly woman named Maggie Kroll is trying to 17 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: close it. And for some reason, there there's a group 18 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: of Democratic assembly people men who don't want it to 19 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: be a felony to buy teenagers for sex. Makes you wonder, 20 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: let's get Carl Demio on. Carl, Seriously, what's with these guys. 21 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 3: John Day are absolutely insane and deviant. I'm just going 22 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: to go there. I'm going to tell you what's really 23 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 3: driving this. Let me go through the history here, because 24 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: Governor Gavin Dusom is trying to pretend like he's the 25 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 3: good guy here, but he's actually an arsonist firefighter. He 26 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: helped create the problem. In twenty twenty, Senator Scott Wiener, 27 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: a gay Democrat from the Bay Area, authored SB one, 28 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: which allows for an individual to molest a child as 29 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 3: young as age fourteen and not have a sex offender 30 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 3: registry requirement. What Wiener says is well, because in the 31 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 3: gay community, romance begins early experimentation begins early adults sometimes 32 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: you know, engage in activities with young children, and that's 33 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: all natural. That's what SP one forty five was. It 34 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 3: said that as long as there's not more than ten 35 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 3: years difference, a twenty four year old should be able 36 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 3: to molest a fourteen year old without sex offender registry. 37 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 3: Really then yes, yes, Oh it gets worse then. SB 38 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: three point fifty seven in twenty twenty two pass to 39 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: eliminate basically legalized to legalize loitering with the intent to 40 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 3: engage in sex trafficking. Loitering is obviously a crime that 41 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: many states use to identify someone who may be in 42 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 3: the sex worker business, and the goal is not to 43 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 3: go after the sex worker. The goal is to detain them, 44 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 3: to protect them, to get them out of the sex 45 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: trafficking problem that they're in, and then to target the 46 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: trafficker themselves. But not in California. We basically declared it 47 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: open space for traffickers by passing SB three fifty seven. Now, 48 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: both of these laws were signed into law by Governor 49 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 3: Daven Newsom. So what Maggie Krell is trying to do 50 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: with Assembly Build three seventy nine. And she's a Democrat, 51 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: and I'm going to give her credit where credits due. 52 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 3: She's trying to do the right thing. She says, let's 53 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 3: repeal SB three fifty seven. Let's make loitering a crime 54 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 3: again so that we actually can go after human traffickers. 55 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: And let's make it a felony crime to buy a 56 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: sixteen or seventeen year old child, a miner who's sixteen 57 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: or seventeen. That should be a felony, not just a misdemeanor. 58 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: These were given and tools back to law enforcement to 59 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 3: go after human traffickers, sex traffickers, and to take care 60 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 3: of these victims. But the Democrats, led by Senator Scott Wiener, 61 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: made the case yesterday that this is all anti gay, 62 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: and again, this is why this is deviant. I'm a 63 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 3: gay Republican. I'm not being homophobic here, Okay. I will 64 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 3: tell you that the gay community does not support this nonsense. 65 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: But what's happening is they're using the gay community and 66 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: the concept of gay rights to somehow support these really 67 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 3: bad bills of making it a misdemeanor, not a felony, 68 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 3: to purchase a sixteen or seventeen year old child for sex, 69 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 3: and to allow for human trafficking sexual assault for kids 70 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 3: as young as fourteen, all in the name of well, 71 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: gays need to experiment when they're young, and so what 72 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: if an adult someone of age is engaging in either 73 00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 3: buying a kid, buying your age buying, or engaging in 74 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: the behavior. 75 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: Wow, that didn't make any of the news stories about 76 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: Wiener's motivations here. 77 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 2: He's really public on last. 78 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: Now, this is a gay rights thing to let gay 79 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: men buy sixteen year old boys on the street. 80 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 3: Yes, And that's the problem here is that the liberal 81 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: media refuses to cover the story. They say, well, some 82 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 3: consider this an anti LGBT bill. Well, okay, can you 83 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 3: explain what is pro LGBT about buying sixteen and seventeen 84 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: year old boys and girls? Can someone please ask the 85 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: liberal media, can you clarify in your news story what 86 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 3: is pro LGBT about buying sixteen and seventeen year old miners? 87 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 3: Do you know on the way you can make that? 88 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: Can do you know a lot of gay men in 89 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: your circles who want to buy sixteen year olds off 90 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: the street? 91 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 2: No? 92 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 3: No, I will tell you that the gay community is 93 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 3: offended that they're being associated with these deviant policies. Senator I, 94 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 3: Senator Scott Wiener, I call him the patron Saint of 95 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: sex predators because almost every single bill on this topic, 96 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: he's on the side of the sex offender, he's on 97 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 3: the side of the sex trafficker. And so this is 98 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 3: a very clear effort to normalize something that should never 99 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: be considered normal, but should not be allowed. It is deviant, 100 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: it is predatory, and it needs to be prosecuted. Like 101 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: every other state in the Union, but only here in 102 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: California do we have laws signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, 103 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 3: and that is so important for people to know he's 104 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 3: behind these laws. Now that he's saying they need to 105 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: be repealed, he actually put them in place. This state 106 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: is on the wrong side of this issue, and we 107 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 3: need to pass Maggie Crell's bill AB three seventy nine. Tomorrow. 108 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 3: I'm going to be supporting a motion to bring her 109 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 3: bill up to the floor and to pass it as 110 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 3: originally introduced, and I know the Democrats are going to 111 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: pose it. But I want a recorded vote. I want names. 112 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: I want the names on a list. I want to 113 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: know who the voters should be able to toss out 114 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 3: of office for this bad vote. And that's what we're 115 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 3: going to get tomorrow. And we're not going to stop 116 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 3: until we get the recorded vote tomorrow that the public 117 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: deserves to see. 118 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: That is sicker than I thought. 119 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 3: I mean, I thought even then the media is reporting 120 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 3: is much much, much, much more worse than anyone I knows. 121 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: All Right, So Wiener has maybe a vested interest in this, 122 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: But what about all the other Democrats. What about the women. 123 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: I mean, all these people have a lot of them 124 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: have daughters. They're middle aged people with children and daughters. 125 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: I mean they wouldn't want their their own daughters and 126 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: sons sold on the street for sex. 127 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: If these are the same people who say adding lanes 128 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: on freeways is somehow racist, Okay, there's no logic to this. 129 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: There's These people are not tethered to reality. They just 130 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: get told by their masters, these left wing advocacy groups, 131 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: if you don't vote on our extreme ideology in favor 132 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: of it, we're going to issue a bad scorecard on 133 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 3: you in the next election. And so we need to 134 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 3: expose these groups for the frauds and the extremists that 135 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 3: they are. Because the people behind these bills, the ones 136 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: that are trying to shield sex predators, well, those organizations 137 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: ought to have the Scarlett letter associated with them. Nobody 138 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 3: should ever listen to a Quality California. Again, a Quality 139 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 3: California says it's a pro LGBT group. They're supporting this nonsense. 140 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: They are deviant and no one should ever take their scorecard, 141 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: their voting guide into account. 142 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: Wow, Carl, stay in touch with us this week. See 143 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: what happens. 144 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 4: We will. 145 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 3: We're going to force the vote tomorrow. We'll let you 146 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: know how it goes. 147 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: Wow. 148 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: All right, Carl Demiel, the assemblyman Republican. And this is 149 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: on whether it should be a felony to buy us 150 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: sixteen or seventeen year old for sex on the streets 151 00:08:59,320 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: of California. 152 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 153 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 5: six forty. 154 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: Well, he just had a very enlightening interview with Carl Demio, 155 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: the Republican assemblyman. And I didn't realize this was this 156 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: is the man. Carl's gay, if you don't know, and 157 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: Scott Wiener is gay. Wiener is a Democrat, and Demyo 158 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: is a Republican, and he flat out said that that 159 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: Wiener pushes these what he calls perverted bells because he 160 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: Wiener believes that it's a right of passage for young 161 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: fourteen year old boys to have an adult gay lover, 162 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: and so none of that behavior or activity should be 163 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: made illegal. And this is why he fights so hard, 164 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 1: because if you're not in that culture, you may be 165 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: wondering who the hell would try to stop buying sixteen 166 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: year olds for sex from being a felony, which is 167 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: what's happening. There's a provision in this bill that would 168 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: make it a felony to buy sixteen seventeen year olds 169 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,599 Speaker 1: for sex up until this point. I guess it's a 170 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: misdemeanor worse and probably not enforced. There's a lot of 171 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: sex traffic that goes on, especially illegal alien sex traffic 172 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: in California, and Wiener is representing some strange wing of 173 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: the gay community. I don't know anything about this, but 174 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: this is what de Mayo is saying, is that he 175 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: says most of the gay community hates this stuff and 176 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be associated with it. But Wiener represents 177 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: a fringe element that wants to basically legalize sexual relations 178 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: between men and teenage boys as young as fourteen. And 179 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: so they fight this bill and convince other Democrats to 180 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: join them for the sake of protecting lgbt Q rights, 181 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: except it really has to I've got to wonder now 182 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: just what's going on. I mean, there's probably a few 183 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: Democratic assemblymen who'd like to go after the girls too. 184 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: There must be. 185 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: There's there's no other explanation for this. There's no excuse 186 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: for this. This should be automatic felonies, and it should 187 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: have been this way since the founding of California. You 188 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 1: would think, and I told you that Wiener is a weirdo, 189 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: and he has been he's Karl went through the list 190 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: of these weird sex laws that Wiener has always wanted 191 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: to liberalize and open up. You're part of the expression. 192 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: Uh and and and he has and uh but this 193 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: has really gone too far. And this this effects gained 194 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: straight relationships boys and girls. I mean, virtually nobody's for this. 195 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: Look how hard they fight now Newsome and and Carl 196 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: says that Newsom, you know, allows these things to be 197 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: set up and defester and then when the wind blows badly, 198 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: he comes in at the last second like a white 199 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: knight at a horse, to say, well, you know, as 200 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: the father of daughters, as the father of young children, 201 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: you know you could have crushed this at the beginning. 202 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: These bills been around for years. This bill was around 203 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: last year and the Democrats killed this particular provision, and 204 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 1: now it's back and it's a Democratic prosecutor a woman. 205 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe women would vote for allowing 206 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: young girls to be sold for sex on the street. Wow, 207 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: only in this state, Only in California. No other state's 208 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: doing this, all right? More coming up. 209 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 5: Listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six forty. 210 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 1: We're on from one until four and then after four o'clock. 211 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: To make sure you download the podcast John Cobelt Show 212 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: on demand and you can catch up on what you missed. 213 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: You may have heard this story recently about a guy 214 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: named that's another guy with too many names, Mario at 215 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: Gardo Garcia hyphen Akino. Mario at Gardo Garcia Aquino. He 216 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: was charged with killing a thirteen year old boy is 217 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: soccer coach during a lute act. And it turns out 218 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: a year ago La County prosecutors were presented with evidence 219 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:56,479 Speaker 1: from another teenager who accused Garcia Akino of sex abuse. 220 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 2: Ten months ago. 221 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: Ten months ago, the DA's office then under George Gascone 222 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: got this evidence. 223 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 2: And Gascone sat on it. 224 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: Because Gascone had a backlog of ten thousand cases that 225 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: he did not prosecute. 226 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 2: Ten thousand cases. 227 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: This is what Hawkman and his staff has been dealing 228 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: with since the first of December. Can you imagine, So 229 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: as Hawkman is in the staff are going through the cases, 230 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: there's this case of sex abuse by the soccer coach, 231 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: and so Hawkman took it over and they in the meantime, 232 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: Garcia killed this thirteen year old boy. His name is 233 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: Oscar Hernandez. He was killed. His body was dumped in 234 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 1: a roadside dish, a roadside ditch, and so people are 235 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: wondering why was there a delay, Maybe if they'd take 236 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: an action earlier. And so Hawkman is getting some attention 237 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: and he said, look, we can't do this overnight. We've 238 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: had to go through ten thousand cases. Hawkman said his 239 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: office has revamped the filing process. There's a new electronic 240 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: filing system that Gascon installed that created massive delays, and 241 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: then you've got to have the prosecutors work late and 242 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: work on weekends. 243 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: We used to talk about all the time. 244 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: There were always estimates that Gascone had refused to prosecute 245 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: cases in excess of ten thousand. The numbers would change 246 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: sometimes I heard thirteen, fourteen thousand. Never knew exactly who 247 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: could know Garcia kno. He's from El Salvador. He is 248 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: first accused of abusing a player in Silmour in December 249 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two. Police investigated, but the player refused 250 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: to cooperate, and then when Oscar Hernandez disappeared, that player 251 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: finally called the police. 252 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: And I guess he's an illegal. 253 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Alien because according to the times, Trumpet officials are highlighting 254 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: the immigration status and they say he should have been deported. 255 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: But this coach had no criminal record, well no criminal 256 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: record because his victims didn't want to testify, and so 257 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: since he didn't have a criminal record, he wouldn't have 258 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: been a high priority for deportation. Not that the Biden 259 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: administration was departing anybody. Wow, wow, an illegal alien, child, 260 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: rapist and killer. And Gascon sat on this, and what's 261 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: in the other ten thousand cases? What else is in there? 262 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: In July twenty twenty three, public records showed that the 263 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: ten thousand cases were awaiting a filing decision. These were 264 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: cases from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two, including 265 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: people accused of murdered, domestic violence, and weapons offenses. Now 266 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: they've reduced the number of cases in the queue to 267 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: about eight thousand as of mid April. I mean they 268 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: only have seven hundred and fifty deputy das. This is 269 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: the smallest the office has been in decades. I mean 270 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people left during the Gascon reign, so 271 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: they had more cases than ever with fewer prosecutors than ever, 272 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 1: and Gascon was not actively interested in prosecuting anybody, and 273 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: they might not be able to hire more prosecutors because 274 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: of the four billion dollars the county has to spend 275 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: on the sex abuse victims. There's a lot of perverts 276 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: who work in government. I mean, you had like fifty 277 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: years worth of perverts who were abusing all the boys 278 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: and girls in the detention system. That's why the county 279 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: has to pay out four billion, and we're going to 280 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: be paying that until twenty fifty one. Then you have 281 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: a Scott Wiener trying to make it not a felony 282 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: to buy sex, to buy sixteen and seventeen year olds 283 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: on the street for sex, like what's going on? 284 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 3: Then? 285 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: Of course the Mahoney case this week. Him going to 286 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: Rome helped close Pope Francis's coffin. He was the official 287 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: representative and he oversaw a large sex ring operation among 288 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 1: his priests. 289 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 2: Wow. 290 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: What Gascone did is he tried to centralize filings in 291 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 1: a computer system. But that made the backlog, that pushed 292 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: the backlog out of sight and out of mind. There 293 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: used to be a stack of files on the prosecutor's desks, 294 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: so you could see your backlog in real time. Right, 295 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: your stack would get higher and higher and spread out 296 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: well once they switched electronically. While that I guess was 297 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: an efficiency improvement, you would think it meant that these 298 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: cases just became buried inside computer files, and I guess 299 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: that would take away the urgency and gascone was not 300 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: interested in prosecuting most cases anyway. Too bad for that kid, though, 301 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: Oscar Hernandez. That's that's terrible. I mean, they were getting 302 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: close to the filing charges for last year's sexual attack, 303 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: but they were just they were just too late. 304 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: Wow. 305 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: Gascon did an enormous amount of damage. And of course, 306 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: like everything, you don't find out that it's all over, 307 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: and it's like you know, Biden with senile and everybody 308 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: knew that. Nobody mentioned anything. You could see it, but 309 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: nobody inside mentioned anything. Nobody inside mentioned the Gascon was 310 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: refusing to prosecute these major felonies. 311 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: Were coming up. 312 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 5: You're listening to John on Demand from KFI AM sixty. 313 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: The controlled burn period is continuing in the Palisades, started 314 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: last night, supposed to go on until tomorrow. Residents the 315 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: ones left are nervous. And also it turns out this 316 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 1: was a well armed community, generally a very safe area. 317 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: One of the safest and nicest in LA, but it 318 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: looks like nobody was taking any chances. We're going to 319 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: play a short clip. Apparently Eric Leonard did a lengthy 320 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: report on how the LAPD is trying to find the 321 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: serial numbers on guns destroyed in the Palisades fire so 322 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: these guns could be returned to their legal owners. 323 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 2: Just listen to a little bit here. 324 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 6: Inside the firearms unit at the LAPD's Forensic Science Division 325 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 6: east of Downtown, examiners and detectives are working to find 326 00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 6: serial numbers or other identifying clues so that the hundreds 327 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 6: of rifles, shotguns, and handguns found amidst the destruction can 328 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 6: be returned to their legal owners or officially recorded as destroyed. 329 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 2: You don't want to unaccounted firearm. 330 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 6: LAPD Detective Pat Hoffman supervises the department's gun unit and 331 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 6: says the fire guns have to be logged so there's 332 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 6: no question about what happened to them if there were 333 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 6: an inquiry months or years from now. 334 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 4: When we recover these firearms and we're able to identify 335 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 4: them by a nick, model or characteristic or serial number, 336 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 4: they are entered into the AFS system correlated with this incident, 337 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 4: so it updates in that system that they have been 338 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 4: reported law destroyed within the Pali States fire. 339 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 6: Hoffman says the heat from the fire was so intense 340 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 6: in places it burned guns that were stored inside fire 341 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 6: resistance safes. 342 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 4: As an eye opening experience when we first got our 343 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 4: hands on the first batch. 344 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: So I guess those fire resistance shapes are not so 345 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: fire resistant. Well, I guess they will burn. But what 346 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: I've heard is people who had fire resistance safes and 347 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: they had paperwork inside. The heat inside the safe became 348 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: so intense that the paperwork burst into flames. It ignited itself. 349 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: So a lot of these guns are are melted or 350 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: partly melted, damaged in some other way. But a lot 351 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: of a lot of people they weren't taking any chances 352 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: because there's there's not a lot of police up in 353 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: that area. 354 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 2: Because there's not a lot of crime. 355 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: You know, you just don't have bad people living in 356 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: the Palisades, and the bad guys don't visit that often, 357 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 1: although there was a rash of burglaries in recent years. 358 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 7: Uh. 359 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: And also maybe maybe they just know that, you know, 360 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: these these people here don't don't skur around. Let's but 361 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: also play some of this other report because the Palisades 362 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,679 Speaker 1: residents are nervous that the ATF is doing this. 363 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: To day, controlled burn like Cut six. 364 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 7: Flames return to the mountains of Pacific Palisades as federal 365 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 7: investigators ignite a controlled fire test and their quest to 366 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 7: figure out exactly what sparked the devastating Palisades fire. 367 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 8: Anytime you see fire in an environment like this, it's 368 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 8: triggering for sure. 369 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 1: I know they have to do it, but to be 370 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: honest with you, I'm not so happy about it because about. 371 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 8: You know, all the traumatized that we have been through. 372 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 7: The move has many residents whose homes survive the raging 373 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 7: inferno on edge, but the La City Fire Department says 374 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 7: the fire test does not involve burning any vegetation and 375 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 7: says the ATF is using a fur pain powered device 376 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 7: with a focused flame that can reach a maximum of 377 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 7: fifteen feet to try to identify what started the blaze 378 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 7: and exactly where. 379 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,679 Speaker 4: Trying to work on a timeline of the events of 380 00:24:58,080 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 4: January seventh. 381 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 3: This some testing that they need to do. 382 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: They're going to try to do it between eleven PM 383 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: and three a m. 384 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,239 Speaker 7: The ATF is investigating if the Palisades fire was a 385 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 7: reignition of an eight acre brush fire just six days earlier. 386 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 7: The controlled fire tests will take place along a one 387 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 7: point three mile section of the Tamescal Ridge Trail. This 388 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 7: was the front thrower Glen Eisen, like so many other 389 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 7: fire victims, wants to know what caused the ferocious fire, 390 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 7: but more importantly wants to know what can be done 391 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 7: for the future. 392 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 8: But you do expect that, you know that we learn 393 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 8: from the disaster, and from that disaster there's better preparedness 394 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 8: for the future.

How does this tell them 411 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: what happened? How does this tell them if the old 412 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: fire got reignited or it was a bum fire?
