1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Can if I am six forty you're listening to the 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app We're live everywhere 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app on from one to four every day, 4 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: and then after four o'clock it's the podcast John cobelts 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: Show on demand same as the radio show. You could 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: listen to what you missed. We're going to go right 7 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: to Michael Monks. 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 2: Is he there? Is he ready? 9 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 1: And he's covering the resentencing hearing for the Menendez brothers 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: and it's had If you heard Michael a couple of 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: minutes ago, there's been a twist. 12 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: What's going on? 13 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, that twist came late last night actually, when Ellie 14 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 3: keunty Da Nathan Hawkman said maybe we should continue this 15 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 3: thing and fouled such a motion to the judge saying 16 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 3: we got some new information you might want to take 17 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 3: a look at it now. The judge this morning said, no, thanks, 18 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 3: We're going to proceed with this. However, what we learned 19 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 3: from Nathan Hakman himself before he went into the courthouse 20 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 3: was this new piece of information was the risk assessment 21 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: that Governor knew some apps the Parole Commission to gather 22 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,679 Speaker 3: what risk do the Menindez brothers pose to society should 23 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 3: they be released? This was delivered to Nathan Hawkman's office 24 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 3: just a couple of days ago. He says, they didn't 25 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: ask for it. It just showed up. And the defense team 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 3: has not seen this. The judge has not seen this. 27 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 3: Hawkman says, this is relevant to these proceedings. The judge says, 28 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 3: not necessarily. So they took a long break that is 29 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 3: just now this moment ended so that they could call 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: the state, the governor's office and get some clarification. 31 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: Is it okay? 32 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: If the defense team sees this, is it okay? If 33 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 3: the judge takes a look at it. If it is okay, 34 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 3: then they're going to have to take a break much 35 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: longer than the two hours they took here. They'll have 36 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 3: to continue this until a later date. If it's not okay, 37 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: if it's privileged information, then they're going to proceed. 38 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: And the size of this risk assessment report is this 39 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: something that could take a while to go through and 40 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: analyze and come up with the strategies on both sides 41 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: to deal with it. 42 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 3: I imagine it must be highly detailed. When you're talking 43 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: about letting to kill out of prison as a possible 44 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: end result of this information, and that's thirty five years 45 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: worth of prison that they have to go through. So 46 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 3: every little incident probably has to be evaluated. Every little 47 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 3: triumph that the brothers have said they've had in prison. 48 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: Has to be detailed. But we don't know. 49 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: Nathan Hochman did not tell us what's in the document 50 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 3: that he would not share with us yet, so it's 51 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: not public information. Again, it's not even information that defense Attorney. 52 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: Mark Gerrenghs has had yet. 53 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: So we are still waiting to see whether we can 54 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: get our hands on this risk assessment. The answer is 55 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 3: probably know for quite some time. 56 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: But this is something This is the reason Hakman wanted 57 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: to put off this hearing until this assessment came out, 58 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: and then it just suddenly showed up at his office. 59 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if it was a weird thing that 60 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 3: it showed up. 61 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: He made it sound like we didn't expect it to 62 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: show up. We didn't ask for it. 63 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: We have not been collaborating with the Parole Commission in 64 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 3: any way, shape or form, but we got the document 65 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: a couple days ago. It was interesting to find that 66 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: this document had not been shared with the defense team 67 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 3: and had not been given to the court directly. 68 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: But on the other hand, this is the state case. 69 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: Remember, there are multiple avenues that the Menindez team is 70 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 3: looking at to get them out of prison. This is 71 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: from one of the other ones, not what's happening here 72 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: in Van Nis. This is the motion to be resentenced. 73 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 3: This isn't the request for a new trial, and this 74 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: is not the request for clemency. That parole evaluation comes 75 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 3: from the clemency request. 76 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 2: But now that it's out there. 77 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: Nathan Hockman says it's worth looking at because this thing 78 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 3: happening in Van Nuys could also lead to their release. 79 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: I wonder if somebody leaked it, like, was this officially 80 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: mailed to Hawkman's I know, you don't know. I'm just 81 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: thinking out loud here. Was it officially mailed to Hawkman's office, 82 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: or was there somebody in this state parole office who said, Hey, 83 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: I think you'd be interested in this before you have 84 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: your hearing. 85 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: I hope and it comes out he'll give us a 86 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 3: little more clarification on that. It just made it sound 87 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: like they didn't ask for it and it came down 88 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 3: to the office. I don't know if this was a 89 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: courtesy if this is the proper procedure. But he's got 90 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 3: his hands on it, he thinks the others should have 91 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: their hands on it. 92 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: In my mind, if you were going to leak something, 93 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: then if it was if it was supportive of Hawkman, 94 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: you'd leak it to Hakman. If it was supportive of 95 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: the Menendez brother's case, then you'd leak it to Garagos. 96 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: Right. 97 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 3: That would make sense, right, I mean, if you wanted 98 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: to bolster somebody's argument here, then of course you'd want 99 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 3: them to take a look at it. 100 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 2: On your behalf. 101 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: But Mark Erragos, who's still arguing that this should proceed, 102 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: has reportedly not seen the contents of this thing. So 103 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 3: whether it reflects positively or poorly on his clients, that 104 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 3: we don't. 105 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Know, No, don't, we don't know. I'm just going through 106 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: a logical It's like, if you're going to leak this thing, 107 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: you want to help somebody, right, Yeah. 108 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: But on the other hand, you know, there's also been 109 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 3: commentary that, look, somebody's got to make the ultimate decision 110 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: about whether the men and Deez brothers stay in prison 111 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: or not. And I think there are some people who 112 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: don't want to ultimately make that decision. And if it 113 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 3: is here, then that can reflect one way on the 114 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 3: LA County District Attorney's office. But if it goes up 115 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 3: to Sacramento, then it's on Governor Newsom, a lame duck governor, 116 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: and I think there are some people involved here that 117 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: would prefer that. 118 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. 119 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: I just wonder if there's somebody who's not a fan 120 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: of the Menendez brothers in the parole office and thought 121 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 1: he would try to bolster Hawkman. Well, we'll see, and 122 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: we'll find out soon. Soon enough, I guess the judge 123 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: is forced to consider it. I mean, if this is 124 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: the real assessment report, then it's real evidence that has 125 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: to be dealt with one way or the other. 126 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: So I forgot they back. 127 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 3: So that's what the question was. The judge wanted to proceed. 128 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: He denied the motion this morning that Nathan Hawkman had filed, 129 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: like let's just take a break, let's pump the brakes 130 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 3: here and let's get some time to look at this document. 131 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: But ultimately they hit a wall around eleven o'clock this 132 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: morning when the question was raised whether other people should 133 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 3: have access to this risk assessment, including the judge himself, 134 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: including the defense team. Since the prosecutors have looked at it, 135 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: so they wanted clarification. They are in court right now 136 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: just so the audience knows. We can't be in there 137 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: and reporting or recording or anything. So that's why I'm 138 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: outside and we will get that information as soon as 139 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 3: it's available. To think, what's going on right now, It's 140 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: possible this whole time comes to an end momentarily. 141 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: When you find out the next step. Come right back 142 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: on with us. All right, first guy, I'm gonna call 143 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: that better be all right, Michael Monks, can't find news. 144 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for coming, you got it. But oh well, 145 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: now why was that suddenly leaked to Hawkman's office? 146 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: Who did that? Why did they do it? 147 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: Because they had the Hawkman wanted a delay and who knows. 148 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 2: You know how long delays can be. 149 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: It can be days, it could be weeks until the 150 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: report is processed and printed and then analyzed and argued over. 151 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: Seemed like he was asking for a significant delay, and 152 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: then it just suddenly hears the judge says, no, we're 153 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: not going to delay it, and whoops, there it is. 154 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: If it's a leak, then there's somebody somebody in the 155 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: pro office has a rooting interest one way or the other. Well, 156 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: we'll find out. It's obviously we're gonna get some kind 157 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: of information this afternoon. I think that's Michael Monks.

We're going to talk to say Ed Kashaani. 161 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: He's an attorney out of the Pacific Palisades, but he's 162 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: an attorney who lost his home because of the fire, 163 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: and he has been a one man band trying to 164 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: get information, trying to get publicity about the LEDWP. 165 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: And he was the one who went to a. 166 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: DWP meeting and excoriated the board members and wanted to 167 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: know why they didn't fill a reservoir, and why Jennie Kinonias, 168 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: the incompetent CEO, why was she so obsessed with diversity 169 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: and never spoke about the empty reservoir. Well, in the 170 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 1: past week, the DWP has been in court and their 171 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: lawyers are arguing that they cannot be sued for a 172 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: lack of water, for an empty reservoir, for broken fire hydrants, 173 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: for only having three million gallons when they needed hundreds 174 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: of millions of gallons, and Sayid Kashani is going to 175 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: tell us what he knows, and that's coming up at 176 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: three o'clock. 177 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 178 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 4: six forty. 179 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: Do you remember a couple of weeks ago, right before 180 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: we threw at the dumpster, we found out that the 181 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: head of LASA, the homeless agency, the County City homeless 182 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: agency that has squandered billions of dollars and people there 183 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: have stolen billions and the homeless nonprofits have looted LASSA. 184 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: And the woman who was running it was Valicia Adams Kellum, 185 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: and she quit after being thrown in the dumpster, having 186 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: her microphone cut off by the county supervisors after an 187 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: audit found that there's over two billion dollars on accounting for. 188 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: But the last thing she was able to say before 189 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: her microphone was cut off is that she used to 190 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: be homeless. 191 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: And I heard that, go, oh my god. 192 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: They actually hired a formerly homeless person to run the 193 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: multi billion dollar homeless agency. Of course the place would 194 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: be a disaster. Well, guess what else? Another disaster in 195 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: La City is the La Unified School District, a horrendous 196 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: disaster that costs billions of dollars in tax money. 197 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: For little benefit for anybody. 198 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: Well, New York Times did this story on the superintendent, 199 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: Alberto Carvallo, and the hook of the story was that 200 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: last week there were two immigration agents that showed up 201 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: at two LA elementary schools. They were looking for who 202 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: They're looking for welfare checks on students who they said 203 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: were here illegally. And so everybody freaked out. Right, God forbid, 204 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: you have a government agency enforcing the law. And Carvallo 205 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: got all upset, and then he told the world that 206 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: he was an illegal alien and he was a homeless person. 207 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: So the disastrous homeless agency was run by a formerly 208 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: homeless person and the school district run by a formerly 209 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: homeless person. Well, no wonder, no wonder, it's a wreck. 210 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: This is this is you know. Some places hire, you know, 211 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: from the ivy leagues, or some people hire, let's say, 212 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: from companies that are regarded as the best in their field, 213 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: or you hire from school districts that are ranked at 214 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: the top in test scores. Right, that's what you should do. 215 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: You should hire the people who performed the best. And 216 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: then here in Los Angeles City and County, we hire 217 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: people who are homeless I and he's homeless because he 218 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: came from a poor family in Portugal and he arrived 219 00:11:54,760 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: on a visitor visa and he overstated his visa that's illegal, 220 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: and he started traveling. He was didn't speak English. He 221 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: worked at different odd jobs, restaurants, farms, and construction sites. 222 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: He said it wasn't difficult to find a job without documents. 223 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: That's the that's the phrase they used throughout the story. 224 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: He was undocumented, He was without documents, and then he 225 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: said he was homeless in Miami. He slept in a 226 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 1: U haul truck parked under a bridge. Eventually, though, he 227 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: got a student visa which led to a Social Security 228 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: number and he could work illegally. 229 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: And now he's the superintendent of schools. 230 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: And a lot of people go, well, that's that the 231 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: wonderful American the theft. 232 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: Story, except as he's a failure because. 233 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: Two months ago the test scores came out for Los 234 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: Angeles Unified, right, Like, you know, I think I think 235 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: Adams Kellum, the head of the Homeless agegency. After being homeless, 236 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: she went to Stanford. It's like, oh, isn't that wonderful? 237 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: Shollow as she turned her life around. Yeah, except she 238 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: was a total failure. I mean, she lost track of 239 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 1: billions of dollars, so I guess whatever she studied at Stanford, 240 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: it wasn't math. 241 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 2: And then you know she gave two million. 242 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: Dollars to her husband's nonprofit, so I guess she didn't 243 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: study ethics either. And I don't know what Carvallo studied 244 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: before he became head of the LA Unified District, but 245 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: I guess it wasn't teaching math and reading, because the 246 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: test scores for LA Unified, according to the UH Nation's 247 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: report Card, proficiency for fourth graders in math twenty seven percent. 248 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: I mean, seventy three percent of fourth graders are not 249 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: proficient in math. In other words, they don't hit the 250 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: minimum level of knowing what they're doing. Eighth grade is 251 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: eighth grade reading is at twenty two percent, So seventy 252 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: eight percent of eighth graders can't read at the minimum 253 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: grade level. 254 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: Seventy eight percent. 255 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: Fourth graders are at twenty five percent proficiency. Wow, so 256 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: it actually gets worse. The more time they spend in school, 257 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: the less they know how to read. At fourth grade 258 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of proficient. By eighth grade it's twenty 259 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: two percent, and it's well below the state average. The 260 00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: state's twenty nine. We're at twenty two. So across the 261 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: state kids can't read. We have among the highest per 262 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: pupil spending every grade level. According to another standardized test, 263 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: showed a drop in math in eleventh grade. There was 264 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 1: almost a ten point drop off down to about nineteen percent. 265 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: Whoa eighty one percent of eleventh graders are not proficient 266 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: in math. You're running out of time in eleventh grade. 267 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: You got one more year and then they give you 268 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: a fake diploma and say thank you for all your accomplishments. 269 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: They probably give you honors and a medal and you 270 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 1: can go get your job at Burger King. 271 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 2: Wow. 272 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: Eleventh grade was down ten points. Eighth graders and sixth 273 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: graders were down six points. And Uh. Alberto Carvallo is 274 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: worried about a couple of kids being questioned by the 275 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: federal government. I don't know to do them. It doesn't 276 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: do that many good to be here if they probably 277 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 1: can't speak English and the parents probably can't speak English. 278 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: So I guess we're just providing daycare. Huh. And we 279 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: got to pay for the daycare. Uh. 280 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: There's a. 281 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: Usc Professor of Education, Morgan Polkoff, who said, seems like 282 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: we've hit a new level, we've established a new floor. 283 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: We haven't really fundamentally changed anything.

But 341 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 2: what what does he do? 342 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 5: It says he has he's with the Republican Party and uh, 343 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 5: that's it. 344 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 6: He's a construction manager and the executive director of the 345 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 6: California First PC. He's got his high school diploma from 346 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 6: Lake Oswego High School. 347 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: All right, Well, that's that's enough for two percent. Jeez. 348 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 5: Oh here, wait, this is something interesting. That Newsweek says. 349 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 5: It says that he has proposed forcing immigrant women living 350 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 5: in the country illegally to marry American in cells to 351 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 5: avoid deportations. 352 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: Is that a new way to create an acer? Baby? 353 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 5: I can't make this stuff up. 354 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna ask you. Did you make that? 355 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 6: No? 356 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: I did not. 357 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 5: I googled him. 358 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: Is that from some parody site? 359 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 5: It's said Newsweek? 360 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 6: So it's literally if you type in Kyle Langford on Google, 361 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,479 Speaker 6: it is literally the third link that pops up. 362 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: It's literally from yesterday. And there's enough in cells in 363 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: the state that know of him and are willing to 364 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: vote for him for governor. I mean two percent of 365 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: the vote. That that's thousands and thousands of votes. Okay, yeah, 366 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: Now there's another question about Kamala Harris. Should she run 367 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 1: for governor or not? Fifty percent say no, fifty percent 368 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: say yes, And they had a question taking her name 369 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: out of the race. So, if there's a primary in 370 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: June twenty twenty six, and here's a list of candidates 371 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: and it's the same group, just know Kamala Harris, missus 372 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: potato head. Katie Porter gets twelve percent and Via ra 373 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: Gosa shoots up to five, Chad Bianco is at four, 374 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: Kyle Langford still at two out. 375 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 2: Maybe we should get him on. 376 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: There's gotta be more than forcing immigrant women to be 377 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: the wives of incelts. God, what's going undecided is fifty 378 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: four percent. So the Kamala crowd if Kamala's not in 379 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: the race, they don't know what to do. They're not 380 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 1: they haven't decided, they don't know any They probably don't 381 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 1: know any of these people. All right, here's where we 382 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: got some time. Here's two Gavin Newsom questions. Do you 383 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: approve or disapprove of the job Gavin Newsom is doing 384 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: as governor? Thirty three percent? Only thirty three percent approve. 385 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: WHOA that's below Joe Biden. That's below Trumpet in his 386 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: worst days, thirty three percent approval. His disapproval is forty 387 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 1: two percent, and twenty four percent are neutral. How can 388 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: you be neutral about him? Your second question, should Gavin 389 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: Newsom run for president in twenty twenty eight or not? 390 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 1: Fifty nine percent of Californians said no, fifty nine percent. 391 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: How does he run? 392 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: On that? It's like much of the status turned on him. 393 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: They hate him now, well for obvious reasons. What do 394 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: you think is the most important issue facing California? Number one, 395 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 1: forty percent was jobs, inflation, economy, jobs, inflation, taxes, and 396 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: second was housing affordability at twenty four percent, which is, 397 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's all the same category. People don't have 398 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: enough money, have enough money to get buy from week 399 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: to week. And this is what I'm saying. Our gas 400 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: prices are for eighty five a gallon in Tennessee. It's 401 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: two dollars and seventy cents, and sometime this year we're 402 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: gonna be up over five point fifty because there's a 403 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: sixty five cent increase coming from the from California Resources Board, 404 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: and there's another separate gas tax coming. 405 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 2: And uh. 406 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: And what people are worried about is taxes and jobs 407 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: and inflation, housing affordability. People can't afford to live here, 408 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 1: and yet Newsom gets away with selling gas for two 409 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: bucks more than any than many other states. I don't understand. 410 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: I don'nut and I don'nut what is he going to 411 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: run on? Is he gonna run on the highest taxes, 412 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: the worst homelessness, We got the second highest unemployment rate, 413 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: we got the worst housing situation. What's he running on? 414 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: Where people around the country are going to go. Yeah, 415 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: I want that more of that, all right, Deborah Mark, 416 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: Oh uh wait a second, three. 417 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: O'clock, three o'clock, I know we're doing something important. 418 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: Oh yes, I had Kashani. He's the Palisades attorney who 419 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: is burned out and he's been fighting with the DWP, 420 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: especially about that reservoir, and DWP is arguing in court 421 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: they can't be sued for not having any water to 422 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: put out the fire. 423 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI six John. 424 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: Cobelt here, and right after three o'clock we are going 425 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: to have that attorney from the Palisades who has been 426 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: fighting with the DWP. His house got burned out, and 427 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: he's been willing to go to the d WP meetings 428 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: and state his case over the incompetence of Genie Kinonnez 429 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: the empty reservoir. And he's got more to say because 430 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: the DWP in court, with their high priced attorneys that 431 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: you're paying for, is claiming that they can't be sued 432 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: over not having enough water. 433 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 2: For the fire. 434 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 1: Coming up right after three o'clock, Deborrah has a major 435 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: news bulletin here. 436 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 5: So a recensing hearing for Eric and Lyell Menendez has 437 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 5: now been postponed indefinitely. The judge has scheduled a May 438 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 5: ninth motion hearing, and that's where attorneys are going to 439 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 5: be talking about the admissibility of that state Parole Board 440 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 5: risk assessment report, and defense attorney Mark Erragis is also 441 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 5: expected to file emotion seeking to recuse the DA's office 442 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 5: from the Menendez case. And there was supposed to be 443 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 5: another hearing tomorrow or another receensing hereing tomorrow, so that 444 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 5: of course has been cancelednother supposed to be a press 445 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 5: conference I think at three o'clock, so if that happens, 446 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 5: we will try and go to that live. 447 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: So risk assessment was done by the Parole Board, and 448 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: that was for Newsome's purposes. He asked for it because 449 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: it's possible this case could end up before him if 450 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: the Menandez brother want clemency, if they want him to 451 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,119 Speaker 1: shorten the sentence. So and even if even if this 452 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: re sentencing happened through this judge, it would still go 453 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: to the parole board. So all roads lead to the 454 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 1: parole board. Newsom said, we'll do a risk assessment because 455 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 1: before anybody's released from prison, they have to go through 456 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: that process, and I wonder what's in it because it 457 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: caused this to grind to a halt. 458 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 2: And remember and are we gonna get Michael on next 459 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 2: hour again? 460 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, he's right now, he's in court, so he cannot go. 461 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 5: He can't he can't talk to us. But as soon 462 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 5: as he's available, then we will get him. 463 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: Okay, we'll have him one again after we talk to 464 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: that Palistage attorney if we can. Because what Michael said 465 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: is is you know the uh, the Hawkman had gone 466 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: into court this week and he asked the judge hold 467 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: off on this hearing until we can look at the 468 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: risk assessment. And the judge said, no, let's do the hearing. 469 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden it showed up in 470 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: Hakman's office and now, uh, now everybody wants to put 471 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: a halt to this. In fact, Gargos, I guess, wants 472 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: to keep it from being submitted. 473 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 5: He wants he wants Hawkman off the case completely. 474 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: He wants he wants Hawkman well where that makes no sense, 475 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: But Gargos does a lot of things that make no sense. 476 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: He just likes to create a distracting headline. So you 477 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: end up arguing something irrelevant. What matters right, The second 478 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: is what's in that assessment? Yeah, he wants hawkman if 479 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: there's bad stuff in that assessment, of course he doesn't 480 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: want Hawkman arguing it in court. I don't know something. 481 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: Something's fishy. I smell something, you do? 482 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 2: I do? 483 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 1: There's an odor, you think coming out of Garagos? Yeah, 484 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: at a Garagos's office. There there's a bad odor. 485 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 2: Did you see? 486 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden showed up at Harvard University for a surprise 487 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: appearance and the poor guy dropped his ice cream bar 488 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: on the floor. 489 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. 490 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: He he bit into a melting ice cream bar and 491 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: it was after he was done with his talk and 492 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: it plopped on the floor.
