1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,160 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 2: I am six forty. 3 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 3: We're on the radio from one until four and then 5 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 3: after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the 6 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 3: iHeart app, and you can listen to what you missed. 7 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 3: And we are going to talk in just a moment 8 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 3: with Bill Salley. He's the Republican from Riverside Assemblyman, and 9 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 3: he decided to call out all these fake phony frauds 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 3: in these activist groups, specifically Mom's Demand Action for Gun 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 3: Sense in America. 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 2: Wow, it's seven words there. And he had this bill 13 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: which would add. 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 3: Ten years at least to any sentence if you used 15 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 3: a gun in the commission of the crime, extra ten 16 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: years enhancements. And you would think gun control groups, anti 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 3: gun groups who want to restrict law abiding citizens from 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 3: using guns, would be happy to put away citizens who 19 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: commit the crimes. We're not law abiding, right, they actually 20 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 3: used the guns during the crime. No terms, looks like 21 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 3: Mom's Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. Gun sense 22 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 3: does not include putting people in prison longer for using guns. 23 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: They don't see any sense in that. So let's get 24 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: bill sany on to talk about it. 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:37,199 Speaker 2: Bill. 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 4: How are you, John, John, I'm good, how are you? 27 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: This is great? I love this one. First, this is 28 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 3: Assembly Bill thirty thirty seven. I had a lot to 29 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 3: ask you. So first explain what the bill is, specifically, 30 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: what would it do if it ever passed. 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: It's really simple. California used to have a gun enhancement 32 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 4: that was called use a gun and you're done if 33 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 4: you if you possess a gun in the commission of 34 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 4: a serious felony, you get ten years. If you pull 35 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 4: the gun out and use it, you get twenty years 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 4: added to your sentence. If you discharge the gun and 37 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 4: you hurt anybody, you get twenty five to life added 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 4: to your sentence. So what did the sneaky Democrats do 39 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 4: a few years ago when they're trying to empty the 40 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 4: prisons and keep people from going to prison. Is they 41 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: left the gun enhancement. What they did is they passed 42 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 4: the law that says if any sentence results in twenty 43 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 4: it could result in twenty years or more, the judge 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 4: has to dismiss the enhancement. So all yesterday I was 45 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: going back and forth with these idiots on the public 46 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 4: safety community, said we still have the enhancement. I go, right, 47 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 4: the judge is required to dismiss it. And so these 48 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 4: are the games that they play. 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: And they think that they'd win that debate. Huh oh. 50 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 4: She kept Democrats kept asking me yes or no? Don't 51 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 4: we have a gun enhancement? I go, not if you're 52 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 4: not when you're sentenced. Well wait, what is the name 53 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 4: of this woman, Eloise Ray? 54 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 2: As she ran Alois Rays, she thought she cornered you 55 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: with this yes or no? 56 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 3: Don't we have a gun enhancement law? It's like, yeah, 57 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: but the judge is not allowed to use it. 58 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 4: Wow, isn't it true that you get the gun enhancement 59 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: if you if you had a gun, I said, not 60 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 4: if you pull it out. If you pull out the gun, 61 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 4: it's not going to apply. So the reason I got 62 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 4: really mad at this group mom's demand action because they 63 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 4: come into my office all the time. They wear these 64 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: red shirts and they look like these concerned moms, and 65 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 4: they come in here and they advocate for all kinds 66 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 4: of bills that really do nothing other than punish gun owners. 67 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 4: So I said, Okay, while you're in my office, I'd 68 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 4: like you to look at my bill, which is going 69 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: to go after gun violence and put away bad people 70 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 4: who use a gun. And they said, we'll take it 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 4: to our leaders, and they never got back to me. 72 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 4: So when I went to testify. I went to testify yesterday. 73 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 4: The room was packed. There was about thirty of them 74 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 4: in the committee room, all with their shirts. And I said, 75 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 4: take me to your leader. And I said, why why 76 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 4: are you not supporting my bill? They were there to 77 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 4: support a different bill. I said, Oh, it's it's not 78 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 4: up to us. We have to listen to what our 79 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 4: town says. Our town is some group. I looked them up. 80 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 4: They's subsidiary of some Michael Bloomberg group. Oh yeah Amendment 81 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 4: and a Second Amendment group. 82 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's a fanatic. Yeah they are funny. That 83 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 2: looks they're funny. 84 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: You know, they're all in business just to make money 85 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 3: because all these groups get a lot of donations from 86 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 3: idiot billionaires like Michael Broom Bloomberg, and then they pay 87 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 3: themselves six figure salaries. 88 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: It's it's just all a racket. 89 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: It's a racket. And then they go find these moms. 90 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 4: Maybe some of the moms in this group think they 91 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 4: actually are doing something, because the ones that come weak 92 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 4: with me, they're not sophisticated. They get a fact sheet 93 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 4: and they're told go into this legislator and and read 94 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 4: this paper to them. They're not the people making decisions, 95 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 4: and so I feel bad. They're using those moms, and 96 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 4: they're preying on other people who think this is a 97 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 4: legitimate group. 98 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 3: And they're intimidated from confronting their leaders and saying, hey, 99 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 3: this doesn't make any sense. We want the bad guys 100 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 3: to be put in prison for longer. 101 00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 4: I mean, this is exactly. 102 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 3: They're so transparent and they're so crazy. They want to 103 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 3: take guns away from normal people who use guns to 104 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 3: defend themselves if needed. Right, somebody breaks into your house, 105 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 3: you have a gun. Most of the people I know 106 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: own guns, have one to defend themselves if they're broken into. 107 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 3: I don't have one because I'm afraid I didn't well myself. 108 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 4: You should get one, John, because the police aren't going 109 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 4: to protect you anymore, so we have to protect ourselves. Honestly, 110 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 4: Gascot is not going to save you. I know you'll 111 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 4: you'll like this. So what I was testified the Democrats said, well, 112 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 4: what's telling to me about your bill is that the 113 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 4: Brady Foundation and Mom's Demand Action are not here to 114 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 4: support it. So that tells me there's something wrong with 115 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,679 Speaker 4: this bill and video. 116 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 2: You should really stupid thinking. 117 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 5: That. 118 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: I said, well, I don't really care what some fake 119 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 4: leftist group has to say about my bill. And they 120 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 4: grasp their pearls and they there is an audible gasp 121 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 4: in the room that I insulted one of their holy groups, 122 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 4: it is, And then the sacB wrote a whole article 123 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 4: about it today. 124 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. No, they are a fake group, a fake leftist group. 125 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 3: I noticed the little backwards insult that the sacB had. 126 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: Did you notice that assembling mean Bill Salley, known for 127 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 3: creating SoundBite worthy controversies supporting conservative causes. Well, that sounds 128 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: like a straightforward, non biased, objective news article, doesn't it. 129 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 4: Well that little reporter that wrote it, she chased me 130 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 4: out of the committee room and she put her cell 131 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: phone in my face and recorded it and said, sir, 132 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: you attacked moms who are concerned for their kids. What 133 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 4: do you have to say about this? I mean, she 134 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 4: thought she was confronting me, and I said, I said, 135 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 4: I'll say it again. They're a fake leftist group. They 136 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: only care about stripping Americans of their Second Amendment rights, 137 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 4: and they don't really care about combating gun violence. They're 138 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 4: an arm of the left. So I'd say it again. 139 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Lindsey Holden, that's the reporter. 140 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 4: She was personally offended. I could tell she was all 141 00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 4: shaky and huffing and puffing. 142 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: Well, good, they should, they should all be offended because 143 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 3: you're tell them the truth about them. No, we've talked 144 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: about this for several years now because gascone same thing, right, 145 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 3: he's a for gun control, except he will not prosecute 146 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: people in La County who use guns during the commission 147 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 3: of a crime. There were no gun enhancements. They were 148 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 3: all stripped away, and he wanted old cases to be 149 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 3: resentenced over issues like that. 150 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 4: And the real reason, John is these these enhancements are 151 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 4: really effective at sending people to prison for a long time, 152 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 4: and they can't have that when they're trying to empty 153 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 4: the prisms. 154 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: I mean, you don't really have any honest, intelligent debate 155 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: anymore in Sacramento. 156 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: Do you. 157 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 4: No, No, we just get shouted down or they gaslight 158 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 4: us with these types of ridiculous arguments. Not a committee, and. 159 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: Then these activist groups show up and they're completely at the. 160 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: Lunch, Yeah, which is why you should never fit for 161 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: a Democrat. Just because we have a super majority. There's 162 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 4: a total imbalance here, so they don't have have to 163 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 4: talk to us. 164 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 2: They can do whatever they want. So I guess your 165 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: bill I lost. 166 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, every Democrat voted against it. 167 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: Of course they. 168 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: There's such next time, next time, next time there's a shooting, 169 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 4: and they say, you know, what are you going to 170 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 4: do about gun violence? You should go ask the members 171 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 4: of the Public Safety Committee. 172 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 3: The thing is on the West Side mostly mostly they're Democrats, 173 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 3: right that I live with. I know they have guns. 174 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 3: They told me they have guns.

Uh, because because the people who poop 234 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 3: in the streets. They don't use the toilets because they're 235 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 3: whacked out on drugs. They don't even know they're pooping 236 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 3: in the streets, and you have to do what's known 237 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 3: as the poop popscotch uh. And in fact, they have 238 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: a they have a story here porfilaying a local resident, 239 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: a guy named Adam Katzorski, and he's tired of stepping 240 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 3: in all the all the feces. Uh it's human and 241 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 3: it's animal, and uh, it's I love this. This this 242 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: is another like slanted story. The problem became so visible 243 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 3: that one resident created a poop map of San Francisco, 244 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: fodder for Fox News and other critics of the city. 245 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: We've gotten to the point now where if you don't 246 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 3: think people should defecate in the street, well you left 247 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 3: be a conservative? 248 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: Are you one of those conservative? You don't think peope 249 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 2: almost have been pooping in the street. Wall so judgmental. 250 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 3: During the pandemic, feces, calls dropped because people stayed home 251 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 3: and they put some of the some of the homeless indoors. 252 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 3: Remember they put them in all the hotels. But now 253 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: that people are walking around again and the whack jobs 254 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 3: are crapping in the in the streets again, the calls 255 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: are seventeen percent higher than they were in twenty twenty, 256 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 3: and they've built a lot of public toilets. They actually 257 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: cut a deal with an ad agency, JC Decaw and 258 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: j C Decau runs twenty five toilets at no cost 259 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 3: to the city. In exchange, j C Decau has ad 260 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 3: kiosks downtown, so they're into advertising billboards and advertising space, 261 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 3: and it's like, you give us these locations downtown, we'll 262 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 3: set up these ad kiosks and in return will run 263 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 3: these toilets. They don't call them toilets though. The ones 264 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: for the homeless are called pit stops. 265 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: Why I don't know. I guess, I guess the toilets 266 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: are is that not mean not PC? 267 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 3: It's not PC. It's so the woke term is pit stop. 268 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: And they put them in the tenderloin and mission districts, 269 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: and that's where you know most of the homeless are. 270 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 3: The program cost twelve and a half million dollars a 271 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: year to run fifty five toilets. They would staff them 272 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 3: twenty four to seven so things wouldn't get out of hand. 273 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 3: Did you ever hear about Steve Gregory opening up a 274 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 3: public toilet once. No, remember when the occupy protests at 275 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 3: City Hall downtown. Well, Steve was covering it and they 276 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 3: had some porta potties for the occupy people, and he 277 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 3: was covering the story once and he opened the door 278 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 3: because he was going to go. Two guys were in 279 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 3: there getting it on. And so that's why they try 280 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 3: to staff these things, because they become little sex modules. 281 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: For them, for the local homeless. Anyway. 282 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: Now, well it's kind of better that they do it 283 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: in their john than out in the open on a 284 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: playground where kids are watching. 285 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: You don't want toy, that's right, you don't want to 286 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 2: see this stuff. Anyway. They've they've run out of money. 287 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: Apparently they can't get financing, so they've they've cut it 288 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: from fifty five to thirty one. Now only nine of 289 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: them are operating twenty four to seven and the but 290 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 3: they cost a lot of money and it hasn't reduced 291 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 3: the amount of poop in the streets. 292 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: I don't understand. 293 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: They know these people are whacked out twenty four to seven, 294 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 3: either on meth or heroin or fentanyl or god knows 295 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 3: what else they're taking.

And the way 346 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 3: Eric Arceti allowed homelessness to flourish and would constantly lie 347 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 3: about it and constantly create new, expensive programs that failed. 348 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 3: Now we got the Karen Bass version where she is 349 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 3: spending a lot of money on inside Safe, money that 350 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 3: she says we can't keep spending because LACA he has 351 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: got a big budget deficit and putting people in motels 352 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 3: is real expensive and she's running out of money and 353 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 3: what she's doing isn't working anyway. To begin with, you 354 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 3: probably heard that there's now a federal judge, David o'carter, 355 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: a federal judge wants an audit of all the homeless 356 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 3: programs that are either funded or conducted by the City 357 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 3: of Los Angeles, including this failing inside Safe idea. 358 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 2: He's not the only one. 359 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 3: There's a second audit that's going on from the city Controller, 360 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 3: Kenneth Mahea. And he's a full blown socialist. He's with 361 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: that Democratic Socialist of America. So it's not like he 362 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 3: wants to end the homeless programs, right, He's looking for 363 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 3: an excuse to shut him down because it's a waste 364 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 3: of money. He comes from a political organization that wants 365 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: to waste people's money. It's designed to waste people's money. 366 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: But this homelessness is too hot because nobody, even socialists, 367 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 3: want to blow any more money on the homeless. 368 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 2: There's other things to spend on. 369 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 3: So everyone is criticizing it, and they should because Karen 370 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 3: Bass is another phony. She has these fake statistics which 371 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 3: indicate that she's getting people off the streets. 372 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: Well, what Channel seven ABC seven. 373 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 3: Found is part of what's going on is they clean 374 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 3: up encampments and then everybody comes back, and then they 375 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 3: clean it up again, and everybody comes back and they 376 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 3: clean up. 377 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: How many times are they counting the same people? And 378 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 2: then they put them in the motels. 379 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 3: But there was a story out a few days ago 380 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 3: that a lot of those people leave the motels because 381 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 3: crazy drug addicted homeless people don't really like being indoors 382 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: and they have to follow rules and stuff, and you 383 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: know that doesn't last long. Some of them disappear. They 384 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 3: don't know where they went. There's a huge number of 385 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 3: these inside safe tenants that have disappeared. As far as 386 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 3: the city's concerned, because there's no way to track forty 387 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 3: five thousand homeless people. That's impossible. So they don't know 388 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 3: if they're cycling the same people. They don't know how 389 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 3: many people just evaporate, So all their numbers are fake. 390 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 3: You know, every year they have a census and they 391 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 3: capt a number of bodies on the streets for that 392 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 3: three night period. As we found out, some years, those 393 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 3: numbers are fake. Remember the year where I think Mike 394 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 3: Bonnen might have gotten a hold of the numbers, and 395 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: suddenly districts in Venice had zeros, They had an app, 396 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 3: the homeless counters had an app, and they would punch 397 00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 3: in the homeless people they found in each neighborhood. District functioned, 398 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 3: and when they finally released the numbers, places that visually 399 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: you could see are overrun with dozens, maybe hundreds of 400 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: vagrants registered zero in the official books. Suddenly it was 401 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 3: obvious like, well, I can't trust this. Looks like this 402 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 3: is a load of crap. And then part of the 403 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 3: failure of Karen Bass is the streets are as dirty 404 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 3: and disgusting as ever. There's garbage everywhere, and now you 405 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 3: have and we're gonna play. We're going to play this story. 406 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 3: This is from ABC seven as well. There is a 407 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 3: Fairfax District home in LA and there's a home in 408 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 3: a multi million dollar neighborhood. There's an enormous amount of 409 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 3: garbage in the yard. I mean they ran a helicopter 410 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 3: or a plane, so you could see hundreds and hundreds 411 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 3: of trash bags five feet high. And Karen Bass can't 412 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 3: get this cleaned up, and I have no idea why. 413 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 3: And this has been going on for years, so Garcetti 414 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 3: couldn't do it either. Let's play this clip from eighty seven. 415 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 5: The homeowner of this trash filled property came outside to 416 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 5: clean up a bit, but even moving a few bags 417 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 5: around won't put a dent in the heaps of garbage 418 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 5: sitting in his front yard. The home neighbors call an 419 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 5: ice sore is sandwich between two huge, multimillion dollar houses 420 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 5: in the Fairfax District of LA. It smells awful. 421 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 6: It's kind of just a distraction from everything else in 422 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 6: the area. 423 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 5: In some response, the trash bags are easily five feet tall, 424 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: a clear indication this has been slowly growing over time, 425 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 5: just like neighbors frustration. 426 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 8: The outside of the property needs to be cleaned for sure, 427 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 8: and I mean, I can only imagine what it's like inside. 428 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 5: On Monday, someone called council Member Katie Oroslovsky's office about 429 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 5: the property, who in turn reached out to the city 430 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 5: attorney's office to see what, if anything, can be done. 431 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 5: The city has already taken action on this property before 432 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 5: issuing fines about eight years ago because of maybe no surprise, 433 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 5: a giant pile of trash in the yard. Neighbors tell 434 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 5: us the property was cleaned up shortly after that, but 435 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,959 Speaker 5: the trash started to build up again and say, now 436 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 5: it's as bad as it's been. I'm a live around here, 437 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,400 Speaker 5: but didn't want to be on camera, just as concerned 438 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 5: about the homeowner himself. Feel bad for somebody who is 439 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 5: a sweet person but obviously has mental health issues.

They've got the 512 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 3: same bad policies, take same terrible execution. We still have 513 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 3: massive homelessness. We still have all the fake programs. Karen 514 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 3: Bass has new fake programs. We just told you about 515 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 3: the garbage that piled up five feet deep, this garbage 516 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 3: dump Fairfax District house in a multimillion dollar neighborhood. Karen 517 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 3: Bass does nothing about that. All she's worried about is 518 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 3: being publicly embarrassed for the twenty twenty eight Olympic Games, 519 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 3: the Summer Olympics are coming. In fact, she has spent 520 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 3: a lot of time recently, she and her flunkies in Paris, 521 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 3: which is having the twenty twenty four Games, and she's 522 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 3: worried that the thing that Garcetti has set up, everybody's 523 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 3: going to be in over her, over their head because 524 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 3: his plans were unrealistic, very costly, and they're falling apart. 525 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: The La Times did a long story today. I'm just 526 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 3: going to do a piece of it now, maybe talk 527 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: more tomorrow. But they have they're trying to figure out 528 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 3: the transportation problems. We're going to end up with lots 529 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 3: of people coming, obviously to Los Angeles from around the world, 530 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 3: and they're going to try to force people to use buses. 531 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 3: One thing progressives love to do is force all of 532 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 3: us into a bus, and the officials are calling this 533 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 3: the car free Games. There's going to be a lack 534 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 3: of parking, so that's going to force everyone to use 535 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,640 Speaker 3: public transit. So people from all over the world are 536 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 3: going to come to Los Angeles and get stabbed on 537 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 3: the metro line. And of course they're trying to build 538 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 3: more metro rail lines to handle the load. But here's 539 00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 3: where Garcetti really embarrassed himself. When Garcetti landed the Olympics, 540 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 3: he had this ambitious set of transportation goals. What they 541 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,560 Speaker 3: were going to do was accelerate certain transit projects that 542 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 3: were on paper, like the Supulvita Pass, a rail line 543 00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 3: over the Subpulvita Pass, you know, running the length of 544 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 3: the four h five either underground or alongside the four 545 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 3: h five an East San Fernando rail line. He called 546 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 3: it twenty eight by twenty eight. It was twenty eight 547 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 3: transportation projects by twenty twenty eight, and he hoped they'd 548 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 3: all be completed before the Games. The whole thing is crumbled. 549 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 3: It was too expensive, the timeline was too short, it 550 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 3: was completely unrealistic. It was like a child put this together. 551 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 3: But of course he gave speeches and had press conferences 552 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 3: twenty eight. By twenty eight, Oh that's catchy. Metro has 553 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 3: not been able to line up even half the money 554 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 3: they needed to pay for them. They needed forty billion dollars. 555 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 3: Wherever you get money like that for a transportation project, 556 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 3: it's not around, said James Moore, who's the founding director 557 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 3: of the usa USC Transportation Engineering Program. The plan was 558 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 3: never realistic on many levels, and it's taken what three 559 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 3: or four years for it to fall apart completely. Frankly, 560 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 3: it crumbled at the touch. The financing assumptions were absurd. 561 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 3: This is all Garcetti. Many of the projects identified could 562 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 3: not possibly complete, could not possibly be completed on time, 563 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 3: and that's what he left behind. And Bass is staring at, 564 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: going none of this is going to happen, But the 565 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 3: hell twenty twenty eight, Get out of town. You don't 566 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 3: want to be around here. Conways, Hey, now, hey, I 567 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 3: did some research. I got a quiz for you, all right. 568 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 9: Long Beach is twice the size of Malibu, California. California 569 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 9: has twenty I'm sorry, Malibu, California has twenty six homeless 570 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 9: people that live there. Long Beach is twice the size 571 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 9: geographically square miles of Malibu. Twenty six homeless people in Malibu. 572 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 9: How many homeless people in Long Beach. I'm fifty thirty 573 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 9: seven hundred conservatively. So when these guys in Malibu say, hey, 574 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 9: you know you're rasist, You're not doing your job. 575 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 2: They're not taking their share. Did you hear Steve Gregory's story? 576 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 2: I missed it. This is a good one. Well, he's 577 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 2: the only one who's got it. There are. 578 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 3: They have arrested seventy thousand homeless people in Los Angeles 579 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 3: over the last four years. 580 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 2: Wow. 581 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 3: Majority of them had felony or misdemeanor warrants. The rest 582 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 3: of them were wanted for assault with a deadly weapon 583 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 3: or robbery, wow, or battery. And that's what we only 584 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 3: have forty five thousand homeless in the city.
