1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: How Are you.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four, and if

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 2: you somehow miss part or all the show, you can

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 2: always get it on the iHeart app. The podcast version

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: John Cobelt's show on demand gets posted shortly after four o'clock,

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: so there's no excuse. It's available twenty four to seventh,

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 2: and we've got much much to do. I'm going to

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: start right away because this story broke just half an

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: hour ago. The guy who attacked two women in near

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 2: the Venice Canals. Let's see, one of them happened on

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 2: April the sixth, and then a second woman was attacked

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: about an hour later. So it is today, the fifteenth,

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: is nine days ago. This guy attacks two women near

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 2: the Venice Canals. You know, a crazy, mentally ill, drug

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: addicted vagrant, all right, the worst kind, the kind that

18
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: everybody what's off the street. But Karen Bass won't get

19
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: them off the street. And these two poor women were attacked.

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 2: And what's funny is, at first they were attacked. One

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: of them was hurt pretty bad, bad enough to go

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 2: to the hospital. But there weren't a whole lot of

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: details about what happened and what the extent of the

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: injuries were. And then we had Tracy park On a

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: few days ago, and she's the La City councilwoman there,

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 2: she's my counsel woman. She's replaced the odious Mike Bonnan,

27
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: and Tracy was really upset and I sense that there

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: was more to this story just based on her level

29
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: of emotion. And now it's finally come out. This guy,

30
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: Anthony Jones is being prosecuted by George Gascone of all people,

31
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: with multiple counts of forcible rape at one count of

32
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: attempted murder, and Gascone said at the news conference, these

33
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: are probably some of the most heinous sexual assaults I've

34
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: ever seen. The level of brutality that was engaged in

35
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: was very reprehensible. Now, obviously Gascon is, you know, twenty

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: five points down in the polls to get reelected. But

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: I wonder if this really, I mean, this must be

38
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: a vicious crime, because you rarely see a criminal Gascon

39
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: is willing to criticize and one of the most heinous

40
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: sexual assaults I've ever seen. Charges against Andrew Jones include

41
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 2: one count of sexual penetration by use of force, one

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: count of sodomy by use of force, one count of mayhem,

43
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: one count of torture, and if convicted, could face a

44
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: maximum sentence of life in prison. Now, this just broke

45
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: at twelve twenty five and the LA Times. What I

46
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: want to play is a KTLA report by Chris Wolfe.

47
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: This was done before the official charges were announced by

48
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: Gascon's office, so there could be some things in here

49
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: a little dated. But one of the attack victims was

50
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: speaking out for the first time in this report. So

51
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: this is KTLA Chris wolf play cut fourth and then

52
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 2: all of a sudden the canal and all of a sudden,

53
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: I just get knocked out.

54
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: I just get knocked out.

55
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Was it from behind?

56
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: I have no idea my teeth got knocked out, teeth

57
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 3: knocked out, but.

58
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 4: I have raptures here.

59
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: He hit my fast, He punched you.

60
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

61
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 3: Married Klein, the soon to be fifty five year old

62
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,839
Speaker 3: victim of the Venice Canal attacker, speaks with KTLA from

63
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: her hospital bed, battered, bruised, but in many ways not broken.

64
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: A stranger jumped her from behind while she was taking

65
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: a walk near her home around ten thirty pm Saturday night,

66
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: April sixth. She's not sure about the first blow, but

67
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: says it sent her immediately into a daze. She does

68
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: remember falling to the ground and being bludgeoned, punched in

69
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 3: the face and head repeatedly, as well as other elements

70
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 3: about the attack.

71
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 5: I think he has tried to kill it. I think

72
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 5: he tried to kill it. But I very tall.

73
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: That's think she tall.

74
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 4: So I think they know I had hard for him

75
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: to keep you down.

76
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know the other.

77
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 5: Girl she knows in a column.

78
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: Yes, so I don't know how she kill it?

79
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 6: Did he?

80
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: Do you remember him saying anything to you or just

81
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: the poundings, the beating, healing and hitting.

82
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: I just knowing that I was on the ground. That

83
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 5: that's like getting hit by a truck.

84
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 3: A second female victim was severely beaten that same evening

85
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: and at last word.

86
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: Was in a coma.

87
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: Off He's flooded the area in the following days, and

88
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: on Friday announced the arrest of twenty nine year old

89
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: Anthony Jones. Detectives say he is shown in surveillance footage

90
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 3: recorded near the canals of Venice.

91
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: They made an arrest, But how do you feel.

92
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 4: Ilish crime because I show her enough that purl the

93
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 4: other girl, and I hope she'm lucky that Aude.

94
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: So said.

95
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 7: Enough with the ridiculous soft on crime, defund the police,

96
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 7: catch and reliefs, harm reduction. Criminals are the victims policies

97
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 7: that got us into this mess.

98
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 4: I want predators and violent attackers to be held accountable,

99
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 4: have longer sentences, and just not be out on the

100
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: streets with our family members.

101
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: Mary Kleine wants to thank the LAPD for its very

102
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: hard work in this case. Anthony Jones was arrested last

103
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: night in San Diego. Today in Los Angeles. He was

104
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: booked on two counts of attempted murder. His bail is

105
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 3: set at three point two five million dollars.

106
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: Okay, And just to add to that, not only two

107
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: counts of attempted murder, multiple counts of forcible rape, as

108
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: I said, account one count of sexual penetration by use

109
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 2: of force, one cantosodomy by use of forest, one count

110
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 2: of mayhem, one count of torture.

111
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: This is this, This is a guy. I want to

112
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: know what his background is. I want to know how.

113
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: Many times was he caught and was he prosecuted? Was

114
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: he sentenced, did he serve any time? How many breaks

115
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 2: did this guy get?

116
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Because this, this, this.

117
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: Crap has got to stop. This is outrageous that this

118
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: guy was on the street twenty nine years old. This

119
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: is not somebody down on their luck. This is somebody

120
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 2: with extreme mental disorder and terrible drug addiction most likely.

121
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: And he's acting like a wild animal. And I don't

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: know which woman suffered which beating, or if both of

123
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: them had sexually been sexually assaulted. You know, The Times

124
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: is such a terrible, terrible paper, a terrible news outlet.

125
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: It I've read this story like three times and it's confusing.

126
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: One of the two said she was out on a

127
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: walk and she had eight fractures to her jaw, a

128
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: laceration to the back of her head, and facial bruising.

129
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: Maybe it's the woman that the Channel five reporter spoke with.

130
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if she suffered a sexual assault. She'd

131
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: mentioned it in the interview. Maybe the other woman suffered

132
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: the sexual assault. Maybe both did. I don't know, because

133
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: these are half baked stories with a partial information. Maybe

134
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: the police aren't releasing it. Maybe there's some woke reason.

135
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, But by the way. It's not just

136
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: this story, it's every story. Trying to figure out every

137
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 2: freaking crime story. It takes about two hours and gives

138
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: you a headache. It's a jigsaw puzzle with half the

139
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: pieces missing. This is how the media covers all this

140
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: stuff because yeah, either they don't want to stigmatize the homeless,

141
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: they want to stigmatize anybody because race or ethnicity. Blah

142
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. I mean, it is absolutely frustrating.

143
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: I want this guy's record should be public immediately. I

144
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: want to know who allowed him back, if he's got

145
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: a if he's got a bad felony record, who let

146
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: him out? And then those people ought to ought to

147
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: lose their jobs. It's time heads roll. There's no excuse

148
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: for a guy like this to be on the streets.

149
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: No excuse. And you know we're gonna get to Karen Bass,

150
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: you know, is asking wealthy people to start donating money

151
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: to help the homeless. No, before anybody donates a dollar,

152
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: get these bastards off the street, put them away somewhere,

153
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: get them out. She hasn't done that yet. They're still

154
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: out there. I see them, they're inside safe crap. No,

155
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: the real crazy people. The violent people don't go into

156
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: a motel to live peacefully, and there aren't that many

157
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: that went into the motel. That inside Safe is the

158
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: most overblown pile of propaganda I've ever seen. I'll get

159
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: to that next, but we'll be on top of this

160
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: because there should be more information. I don't know where

161
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: we're going to get the information from, since nobody's telling

162
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: the truth that nobody's given a straight story anymore, but

163
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: we'll get it. Coming up, I'll talk about her Bass's

164
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: plan to loot rich people, get rich people to volunteer.

165
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

166
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 6: six forty.

167
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: All right, we just told you about the gas Cone

168
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: actually announced at a press conference a whole long list

169
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: of charges against Anthony Jones, twenty nine years old, who

170
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: did committed a brutal attack on two women, sexual assaults

171
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 2: and punching and smacking him in the head with some

172
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: hard object. Both women were really terribly injured, and he

173
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: said some of those heinous sexual assaults I've ever seen.

174
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: The level of brutality that was engaged in was very reprehensible.

175
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: This is criminal lover. George Gascone is offended. Now he

176
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: got arrested in San Diego, Anthony Jones a suspect, and

177
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: we are looking. Really, if anybody's got any information, want

178
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: to let us know what this guy's criminal record is,

179
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: because I don't see it, and I don't know. We

180
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:52,479
Speaker 2: got six television stations in town and the Elsi Gundo Times,

181
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: nobody seems to be digging up his background, even though

182
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 2: we've known about him since Friday. Karen Bass, meantime, had

183
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: her State of this City address yesterday. I did not

184
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: watch it the so I'm looking at a report. The

185
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: only thing that was mildly interesting here is that she

186
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 2: would like and this is the kind of thing that

187
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 2: gets a big headline, but it's really nonsense. She would

188
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: like wealthy people to help out with the vagrants, either

189
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 2: give their money or so they could purchase or lease

190
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: buildings that they can convert into units for the homeless.

191
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: Canvass wants to buy property, but she doesn't have the

192
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: money because the motel idea has hit a wall. If

193
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 2: you ever hear her or anybody else bragging about inside Safe,

194
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: put on your propaganda filter, because even if her numbers

195
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: are right, and I imagine that they're inflated and distorted.

196
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 2: She claims to have moved twenty six hundred people in

197
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: doors from street encampments. That's after a year and a half.

198
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: We've got forty six thousand people on the streets as

199
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: of as of January twenty twenty three, forty six thousand.

200
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: So if she's gotten rid of twenty six hundred, that

201
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 2: still leaves over forty three thousand. I don't know how

202
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: many years that would take. You're doing two thousand a year,

203
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: take you what twenty three years to cover them all,

204
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: and by then you'll have an entire generation of new

205
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: homeless people, because the old generation is probably old. They'll

206
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 2: all be dead. And out of the twenty six hundred

207
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: they moved indoors, six hundred they admit to have moved

208
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 2: back out doors. They have returned to homelessness. First they

209
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: fell into homelessness, they climbed out of homelessness, and now

210
00:12:54,320 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: they stumbled back into homelessness. Forty two have ended up

211
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: in prison. Should should be all of them? Thirty eight

212
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: have died. And she's making a pitch that these homeless

213
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: people will cost us a lot of money. Yeah, thanks,

214
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 2: didn't notice that, Because there's thousands of thousands of fire,

215
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 2: paramedic and police calls. Yes, because they cause a lot

216
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: of trouble. They're not peaceful, because they're crazy. If you're

217
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: getting if you're getting thousands and thousands of fire paramedica

218
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: police calls, then they should all be forced off the

219
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: street against their will at gunpoint if necessary. Can you

220
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: imagine a group invading a city and causing thousands and

221
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: thousands of calls that are dangerous when you're calling police

222
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: or fire a paramedics, something's dangerous as happening. But best

223
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 2: sits there. And her big idea is, hey, can the

224
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: rich people give us some money so we can put

225
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: them in a apartments?

226
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: Rich people?

227
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: And they found one sucker, this investor and philanthropist to

228
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: Beverly Hills. He's from. His name is Stephen Klubeck. I

229
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: guess he's got unlimited money. He actually he donated a

230
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: million dollars to her new initiative, It's got a cashy

231
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: name La for La. So Kluebeck blew a million of

232
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: his dollars and then praised Bass for her work on homelessness,

233
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: calling her a disruptor. I don't know when you leave

234
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 2: at least forty four thousand people on the streets, and

235
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: you got Anthony what's that guy's name?

236
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: You got Anthony.

237
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: Jones running around and nearly murdering two women and committing

238
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: brutal rapes on the women. Yeah, I guess that's a disruption,

239
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: isn't it. I just can't believe the BS in a

240
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: normal time, just Anthony Jones's crimes alone would galvanize a

241
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: government to say, Okay, enough is enough, everybody off the

242
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: streets now. Why are we paying for thousands of calls?

243
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 2: This is just going to go on forever. It's already

244
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 2: gone on forever. They're crazy people, the drug addicts. A

245
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: lot of them came from out of the state. I've

246
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: seen surveys more than half have come from out of state,

247
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: out of the city. Why do we have to take

248
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: care of them? We don't know them anything. We have normal,

249
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: no moral responsibility to take care of these people. They

250
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: chose to shoot up and do drugs, the heroine, the

251
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: fent to know. They chose to snort the meth of

252
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: the cocaine, they chose to drink. They chose this life

253
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: and they're not getting out of it. How many hundreds

254
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: and hundreds of care facilities do we have nonprofits aid centers.

255
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: Huh.

256
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: They all have smartphones. They could google homeless aid and

257
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: walk go take care of it already.

258
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: They don't.

259
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: They'd rather sit in a tent, soil their pants, shove

260
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: another needle in their arm, and we all get to.

261
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: Pay for it.

262
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: Maybe we should stop showing up, stop showing up at

263
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: the police and the fire of the paramedics. Maybe the

264
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: public ought to go on strike and say nothing of this.

265
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: And then Karen Bass comes out in bloviates about her

266
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: LA four LA plan. Hey, well, the rich people throw

267
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: more money, even though you're among the highest tax people

268
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 2: in the world. Hey, more money from the rich people.

269
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: They're not that big a sucker.

270
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A.

271
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: Six after two o'clock.

272
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: We're going to talk with Dave Packer from ABC News

273
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: Day two of the Trump jury selection. They have six

274
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: jurors they've picked so far, and I think they I

275
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: think they called in ninety six. So far six have survived.

276
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: Trump also got fined three thousand dollars. We'll tell you

277
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: all about it with Dave Packer from ABC News, and

278
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 2: coming up, Michael Monks Now is with US from KFI News.

279
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: There's a case.

280
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: The city of la is accused of illegally throwing out

281
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 2: homeless garbage. Not only that, but doctoring the paperwork afterwards

282
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: to cover up their trace. This is actually an infuriating

283
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: story because now now the city is going to have

284
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: to pay the homeless and these these irritating homeless groups.

285
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: Let's get to Michael monks on to talk about it.

286
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 5: Good morning, John from downtown LA.

287
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: Good to hear from you. All right, afternoon, by the way,

288
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: in this part of town.

289
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, it is the afternoon. I've been hard

290
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 5: at work on this and other stories. Afternoon, all right.

291
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 5: So you know, this is a case that dates back

292
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 5: to twenty eighteen twenty nineteen, when the City of la

293
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 5: was conducting some homeless sweeps removing some camps from various

294
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 5: parts of the city. Well, seven of these homeless folks

295
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 5: who were impacted, as well as an advocacy group called

296
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 5: k Town for All, determined that these sweeps were violations

297
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 5: of their fourth and fourteenth Amendment rights. And that's illegal

298
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 5: search and seizure and due process because of the materials

299
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 5: that were collected by city officials and disposed of. So

300
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 5: we are talking about tents, we're talking about clothing. Some

301
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 5: of the plaintiffs say that medication, a laptop, some items

302
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 5: used for jobs were taken during this and so they

303
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: filed suit against the city. Now this has been ongoing

304
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 5: as a legal proceeding since twenty nineteen, five years.

305
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: Five years.

306
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 5: And as I reviewed these documents on the Federal Court

307
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 5: a website, a lot of documents, a lot of documents.

308
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: Have been filed in this.

309
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: I don't understand and I don't expect you have the

310
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: answers to all this. But if they threw their they

311
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: had their junk out on the street, right, so the

312
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: city cleans it up all they're not supposed to touch that. Well,

313
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 2: it's pretty cut and dried. I mean, either the junk

314
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 2: was there or not, either the city was allowed to

315
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: throw it out or not. What are they arguing about?

316
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: For five years they're arguing about that. But what's happening

317
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,119
Speaker 2: is in the course of this proceeding. What's caused some

318
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: delays in recent months, dating back to earlier this year,

319
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 2: is that some of the documents, as you know, an

320
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: illegal proceeding a lawsuits, there's a discovery phase. Now you

321
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 2: think after five years, this may have already been done,

322
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: but that's still ongoing, so documents from parties are still

323
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: being reviewed, including documents about this case from the city

324
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: and the plaintiff's attorneys from the Legal Eighth Siety here

325
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 2: in LA were able to determine that it appeared the

326
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 2: city had altered some of those documents that were requested,

327
00:19:55,080 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: and what has been reported is in the process of

328
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: changing file formats john from like a Microsoft word document

329
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: into a PDF, date stamps and those sorts of things

330
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 2: were taken, and that some originals of these documents had

331
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 2: been modified.

332
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 1: Or what was the reason for the cover up?

333
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 2: Were they trying to cover up that they had thrown

334
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: out the wrong type of garbage?

335
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 5: The city says this isn't a cover up at all.

336
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 5: Although Judge del Fisher, a George W. Bush appointee who's

337
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 5: been at this a long time on the federal bench,

338
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 5: admonished the city quite harshly. She does say that, look,

339
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 5: you know, they've got a forensic examiner involved in this. Okay,

340
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 5: this triggered a forensic examiner to take a look at

341
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 5: all of the documents that have been submitted to see,

342
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 5: you know, wish ones have possibly been manipulated. By the defense,

343
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 5: which in this case is the City of la And

344
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 5: what the judge said is, you know this happened, that

345
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 5: the city concedes that this happened, and quote, the court

346
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 5: finds that the City of Los Angeles has all through

347
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 5: modified and created documents relativant relevant to the plaintiff's claims

348
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 5: during the course donation.

349
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: Do we know what they were changing other than hiding

350
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: the time stamps. Were they changing the record of what

351
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 2: actions they took.

352
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 5: I don't think we can know a lot about what's

353
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 5: happening in the discovery phase or what they're looking at

354
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 5: until we start to hear very specific parts.

355
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: Of the trial.

356
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 5: But what the city is saying is, hey, this is

357
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 5: standard procedure. It's not unusual for city employees to review

358
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 5: reports and documents. They want to check for accuracy, they

359
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 5: want to check for errors, they want to look for

360
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: the completeness of the forms, they want to look for

361
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 5: missing forms, or oh.

362
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 2: My god, it just takes five years, it takes a line.

363
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of junk. It's a bunch of homeless garbage,

364
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: is what it is.

365
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 5: Well, the judge says that the city quote, the city's

366
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 5: conduct cannot be excused as imperfect document management. So she

367
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 5: ordered the city to turn over a Google Drive so

368
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 5: that the original documents could be reviewed, and also to

369
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 5: trail for any additional documents. Apparently that Google drive has

370
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 5: been turned over, other documents are not is this city.

371
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: In other words, the taxpayers are going to have to

372
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: pay a fine for this or throw somebody in jail.

373
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 5: Sanctions are a possibility, and that was made clear in

374
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 5: a filing that we saw from earlier this month. In

375
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 5: order I should say from the judge earlier this month

376
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 5: that because of the city's actions, the plaintiff will be

377
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 5: able to seek sanctions against the city for the behavior

378
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 5: that they've engaged in here with these documents. And apparently

379
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: that will be up to the plaintiff about wish wish

380
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 5: to wish sanctions to seek, and that attorney told the

381
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 5: La Times today that she's not yet sure wish ones

382
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 5: to pursue.

383
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: All right, very good, Michael, thank you for coming on.

384
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: Got John Michael monks KFI News.

385
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: You believe this.

386
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 2: So the these homeless people throw their junk all over

387
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: the place, and the city finally cleans up the encampment

388
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: and throws the junk out, which is what you do

389
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 2: with garbage junk. Right, This concept that you're we violate

390
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: the Fourth Amendment when we leave things out in public.

391
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: Is nuts.

392
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: We throw things around in public, then the public has

393
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: to clean it up for you. So if you don't

394
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: want the stuff thrown out, don't go leaving it on

395
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: the ground unattended.

396
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: I know that.

397
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: I know if I took stuff out of my house

398
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: and put it out on the street.

399
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: Somebody's gonna take it.

400
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: Somebody's gonna call the city to take it if they

401
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: don't steal it themselves. And then you've got these ridiculous

402
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: with the Legal Aid Foundation k Town for all these

403
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: ridiculous groups fighting for the right, fighting for the right

404
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: to the the for the homeless people who have their

405
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: junks strewn all over the place. I mean, it must

406
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 2: have been pretty bad, because we're talking twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen.

407
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: City wasn't squad of that cleaning up LA back then.

408
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 2: They weren't clearing any encampments, So there must have been

409
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 2: a reason they went here. All right, we got two o'clock.

410
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: Trump's day two of the trial. They've got six jurors.

411
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: They're gonna be picking juriors for a while yet and

412
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,719
Speaker 2: he's been fined money. We'll have that coming up.

413
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.

414
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: What has gone on in the Trump trial today? Day

415
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 2: two jury picking, we'll find out what. Dave Packer from

416
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 2: ABC News. The environmental wackos have been trying to get

417
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: human rights for for for objects in nature. I don't

418
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: know how to describe this exactly. I saw this story

419
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: the environmental radicals. They wanted right granted to the Great

420
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 2: Salt Lake in Utah, that the Great Salt Lake would

421
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: have legal rights, so if it was harmed in any way,

422
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: the lake would have standing to sue in court and

423
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 2: I don't know, get damages. And you may think this

424
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: is fringe, right, not even worth discussing, except I found

425
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,959
Speaker 2: out that thirty cities and towns in the United States

426
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 2: have granted rights to nature, including get ready for.

427
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: This, Santa Monica.

428
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 2: Santa Monica recognizes nature as having the same rights as

429
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: human beings. Not making this up, which is odd because

430
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: Santa Monica is almost entirely paved over. But I guess

431
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: better late than never. I mean, after you flatten nature

432
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: with the hundreds of miles of asphalt that you could say, hey, nature,

433
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 2: you have some rights. Go sue anyway. In response to

434
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: the environmental nuts trying to get rights for the Great

435
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: Salt Lake, the Utah legislators have passed a bill out

436
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: of the House saying that a government entity may not

437
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 2: grant legal personhood or recognize legal personhood in the following categories.

438
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: For example, a body of water like the Great Salt Lake.

439
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 2: See the environmental wackos wanted nature to give them the

440
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: same rights as a person. So in Utah, now body

441
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: of water cannot have rights. Land cannot have rights. Atmospheric

442
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 2: gases so the atmosphere cannot have rights because otherwise the

443
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: atmosphere can sue when we polluted. Artificial intelligence cannot have rights,

444
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 2: So fake people invented on the internet, ah, no rights.

445
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: Do whatever you want to them. An astronomical object, I

446
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 2: guess that's the sun, the moon, a medior that passes

447
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 2: that lands in Utah. A plant. A plant cannot have

448
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: legal personhood. So if you tear the limb off a tree,

449
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: the tree may cry. No lawsuit weather they actually did this.

450
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 2: Weather has no rights. Any non human animal has no rights.

451
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: Look at that.

452
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 2: In fact, any member, any member of a taxonomic domain

453
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,360
Speaker 2: that is not a human being.

454
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: So I guess that.

455
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: Covers birds and lizards and anything else alive on the planet.

456
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 2: They actually had eleven different Oh, inanimate objects have no

457
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 2: legal personhood either. In the past, in various states and countries, rivers, glaciers,

458
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 2: and some animals have been granted rights. It's you know,

459
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: so it's a The opinion of the Utah legislature is

460
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: you have to be a human being. And as Wesley

461
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: Smith and The National Review wrote that, he can hear

462
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 2: now the critics saying, well, what about corporations. Corporations have rights.

463
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 2: Corporations are made up of humans. Their actions come from

464
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: the direction from the intelligence of human beings. It's a

465
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 2: it's an organized extension of what humans of what human

466
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: actions are taking place. And that's why corporations have rights.

467
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's see next hour, we're gonna have Blake

468
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: trolley on. There was a bill today that would criminalize

469
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: homeless encampments.

470
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: Hmm.

471
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: It would make it a crime for a person to say, well, actually,

472
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 2: that is a slanted headline. I'm sorry I read that. No,

473
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: it doesn't criminalize homeless encampments. It would make it a

474
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: crime for a person to lie or sleep or camp

475
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 2: within five hundred feet of a school park or a

476
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 2: transit stop. What do you think this Senate committee did

477
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: with that bill? Senate Public Safety Committee. We'll get into that,

478
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: and then Dave Packer coming up next for ABC News

479
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: on the Trump Trial. All right, that's all I had,

480
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: and we've got Ashley Johnson live in the KFI twenty

481
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,200
