00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John

Speaker 1: you missed the show, the show always exists, it never

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: goes away. There's never an excuse. Go to John Cobelt's

6
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeart app that's the podcast,

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: same as the radio show, and you can listen to

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: what you missed. So last Friday, we actually for a

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: few days we were awaiting the decision from the Ninth

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: Circuit Court of Appeal. A lower court judge had said

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: the Trump administration was unconstitutional in their illegal alien roundups

12
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 1: because they were taking people off the street and they

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: had no reasonable suspicion whether they were illegal or not.

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: And there was a lower court judge, Mohammi Usi Mensa Frimpong,

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: and she ruled the patrols were illegal, and this Court

16
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: of Appeals, I guess any unanimous decision, right, I agreed

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: with that decision. Today you had a press conference about it,

18
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Michael Munks covering the whole story.

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a week ago today that that hearing

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: took place up in San Francisco, and we talked about

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: it on this very program. I played some clips from

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: that hearing. They stream those hearings on zoom. It was

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: a zoom hearing, and I played for you at that

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: time a clip from the proceeding that indicated to me

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: at least that the judges were not buying the argument

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: from the Trump administration on a very key point in

27
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: this case, which is, are immigration agents targeting people solely

28
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: based on their race, solely based on the language they're

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 2: overheard speaking, or solely based on the location that they

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: are car washes, home depot, parking lots, that sort of

31
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: thing that does not establish probable cause. And the government

32
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: had a hard time arguing the point. So today a

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: celebratory press conference of sorts brought on by the ACLU

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: of Southern California, one of the lead plaintiffs in this case,

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: and other immigrants rights organizations that are part of this

36
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: the City of La, the County of La, other local

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: cities are also part.

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Of this thing.

39
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: The outside and this is what ACLU So Cal Executive

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: Director Chandra bot Nagar had to say about the government's argument.

41
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: As the court said, if the government suggests, quote that

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: they are not conducting stops that let lack reasonable suspicion.

43
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: They can hardly claim to be irreparably harmed by an

44
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: injunction aimed at preventing a subset of stops not supported

45
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: by reasonable suspicion end quote, Meaning, if the administration claims

46
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: it is not breaking the law, then why is it

47
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: fighting against an order that for visit from breaking the law.

48
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: And so the district court put out a temporary restraining

49
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: order that said you cannot just go around and pull

50
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: people aside because they're Hispanic, because they're speaking Spanish, or

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: because of where they are. The government's saying, we're not

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: doing that. So with the appeals court, the judges asked,

53
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: if you're not doing it, how is this temporary restraining

54
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: order harming your immigration efforts? And that to me seem

55
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: like the point where they lost right. Did they try

56
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: to have an answer to that? They did not have

57
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: a sufficient answer in the eyes of these judges. Keep

58
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: in mind, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is the

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: same court that slapped down Governor Newsom in his fight

60
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: against President Trump over the National Guard being deployed here.

61
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: So it's kind of gone both ways on both sides

62
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: of these arguments against the Trump administration. On this one,

63
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: the White House just did not present an argument that

64
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: they are not targeting people based on those characteristics.

65
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: I can just hear I know from reading comments and

66
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: just the reactions of a lot of listeners. They'll say, Oh,

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: come on, if you drive up to a home depot

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: and there's twenty Hispanic guys loiter and around looking for work,

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: what do you think they are? If you go to

70
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: a car wash, right, and there's twenty young guys there, standard,

71
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: what do you think they are?

72
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: And that's similar to well, if you're driving in a

73
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: certain part of the city and you see a group

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: of guys in general on the corner, they're probably selling drugs, right,

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: but you can't just go up to them because they're

76
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: standing there. Even if you're likely right, you can't do it. Exactly.

77
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: That's exactly what this is saying. You have to have

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: a probable cause. The government's saying, no, we use a

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: vast intelligence to let us know where to go.

80
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: But this case was.

81
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: Triggered by one guy, Pedro Vasquez Perdomo. He was one

82
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: of those three guys you might remember.

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: Back in June.

84
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 2: It got some play in the media who was at

85
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: a bus stop in Pasadena in front of a donut

86
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: shop and they got swept up in this and taken

87
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: into custody. They were just waiting on Metro to pick

88
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: them up, and he says, the next thing, you know,

89
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of mass guys who never identified themselves took

90
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 2: us into custody. And so that is what triggered this case.

91
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: And these plaintiffs, the ACLU and others, and the local

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: governments have presented gobs of folks who have experienced something similar.

93
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: The government may have to pivot because this has been

94
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: held up at this point.

95
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: Right what they can do still legally is.

96
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: Have probable cause to approach illegal immigrants workplaces that sort

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: of thing. If they're able to gather any evidence to

98
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: suggest a certain workplace is hiring illegal immigrants, then they

99
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: can go in there and investigate.

100
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: But the fashion factory in downtown La exactly, which is

101
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: what ignited the riots, ironically, but they were going in

102
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 1: there because they done an investigation into the company's work practices,

103
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: who they hired. They had they claimed they were tax

104
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: violations going on, but they had all the investigation done,

105
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: they felt they had proved their case, and they got

106
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: a judge to sign a warrant letting them go in

107
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: right and then arrest who they wanted to arrest. That's right.

108
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: That seemed to be an extreme case because there were

109
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: other crimes being committed and there were illegal immigrants allegedly

110
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: working there as well. That issue was brought up by

111
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: La Worker Center Network executive director Armando Gudino, who spoke

112
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 2: today is celebrating this ruling.

113
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 1: Here's what he said.

114
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: Let me be clear, ice in law enforcement are not

115
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 4: above the law. The Fourth Amendment doesn't stop at the

116
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 4: gates of a car wash, at a garment factory or

117
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 4: in a strawberry field. This case is about dignity. It's

118
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 4: about drawing a line against fear and reminding this country

119
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 4: that immigrants are not the exception to the Constitution. We

120
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: are the living, breathing proof of it.

121
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: So even though there were accinuating circumstances involving the garment

122
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: district in that particular case, you can see from these

123
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: advocates that they don't agree with that particular raid either.

124
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: Right, but that rate was allowed because if they go in,

125
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: let's say they go in to go after management for

126
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: their paperwork crimes, through tax crimes. If they find illegal

127
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: aliens work there, they can grab those people. That's where

128
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: they have a legal pretext to enter the building.

129
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: And I know you got a run, but just by

130
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: way of an update or just for planning purposes, this

131
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: is a temporary restraining order. The Trump administration could take

132
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: this to the Supreme Court to get this overturned so

133
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: that they can resume the actions as they were doing them. Otherwise,

134
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 2: they might just wait this thing out because these plaintiffs

135
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: want a longer injunction and there's a hearing set for

136
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: that back at Judge Frimpong's court here at the lower

137
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: court level, the district court on September twenty five.

138
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: They want a permanent injunction. Indeed, Verry Good Michael a

139

Speaker 1: couple months KFI News when we come back one of

140
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: the entities I absolutely despise in life, and I think

141
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: most people do. Our homeowners associations with their stupid, obsessive, compulsive,

142
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: anal retentive, picky un rules to torture people and extort money. Well,

143
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: who knew there's a new state law that just cuts

144
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: the legs out from under homeowners Associations and they can't

145
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: torture people anymore with their nonsense. Tell you all about

146
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: it and we come back.

00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: she's always I don't know I'm going to say where

153
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: you're going or when you're going, but at some point

154
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: you're going to go on a vacation. And as you know,

155
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 1: i'd call this running joke, except this stunt a joke.

156
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: Terrible things happened to whatever country she goes and visits. Yes,

157
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: for example, she went to Scotland, right, and the queen died. Correct,

158
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: There's something that happens about once every hundred years. And

159
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: there you were, and then you were about to fly

160
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: to see Israel in.

161
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 6: Egypt exactly one week to the day, right.

162
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: And war breaks out. Yes, And you were going to

163
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: spend an overnight in Dubai and there was this massive flood.

164
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 6: Yes, which it's the worst flooding ever.

165
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 7: It's the worst flooding over I mean, airports are flooding,

166
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 7: and that's just the.

167
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: Last couple of years. Yes, don't forget getting COVID in Mexico,

168
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: in Mexico.

169
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 6: That's right, right, that's right.

170
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, we're there's actually the state Department

171
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: has travel advisories and I'm.

172
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 6: Going to try and fly under the race.

173
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: Okay, here's something that's happening to me. We're going to

174
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: go back east later this summer, and we're gonna you know,

175
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: I got a place, We got a place in Florida,

176
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: and my son lives in North Carolina. So the idea

177
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: is go see my son in North Carolina and then

178
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: drive down to Florida and stop at some cities that

179
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: I've either rarely or never been to, because there's a

180
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: lot of beautiful, smaller cities in the South. One of

181
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: it's like Charleston, South Carolina, which I've only seen once,

182
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: and another one is Savannah, Georgia, which my wife was

183
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: two once and says it's absolutely gorgeous. So I've been,

184
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, looking up things to do in Charleston and

185
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: Savannah as we as we drive down the coast, and

186
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: this story just jumped out at me. Over the weekend,

187
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: they have found radioactive WASP nests it says here in

188
00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: South Carolina along the Savannah River radio active wasp nests.

189
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: This site used to play a major role in nuclear

190
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: bomb production, and it's called the Savannah River Site. It's

191
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: a nuclear facility near Aiken, and they produced plutonium and

192
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: tritium during the Cold War. Well, they found four nests,

193
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: and apparently they haven't done a good job with the

194
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: nuclear waste, the leftover nuclear radiation, because they they tested

195
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: the nests and it had had ten They had ten

196
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: times higher than the limit allowed by the federal government

197
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: for radiation radioactive nests. It was near tanks of stored

198
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: liquid nuclear waste. Well, it looks like the liquid leak,

199
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: didn't it. They sprayed the nests with insecticide and removed

200
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: them and they had to disposed of them as radioactive waste.

201
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: No wasps were found inside, but it means the wasps

202
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: are loose, then the wasps may be radioactive.

203
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 6: Are you still gonna go?

204
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not stopping in this I'm not stopping in

205
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: this town. Wasps are chests.

206
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 6: Oh, I am terrified.

207
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: My wife once got stung by a wasp. She went

208
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: right down. She's got bad allergies when she gets stung

209
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: by a beer or a wasp. She's she's laid out

210
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: on the ground, like right on the sidewalk. It said

211
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: the nests were contaminated with radioactive contamination leftover radiation from

212
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: the weapons production era. They claim it was not caused

213
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: by a leak, that it was always sitting there, and

214
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: then they found three more nests at the facility. They're

215
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: called hot wasps. They could be contaminated, right, Yes, if

216
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: you're living in a nuclear nest, you're going to be

217
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: flying around and you can I guess they glow in

218
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: the dark at night. You can see them coming from

219
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: a couple of blocks away.

220
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 6: Good that you could see them coming.

221
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, just walk around with a Geiger counter. As soon

222
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: as it starts ticking, you know you're They claim there's

223
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: no evidence of public danger. I wonder how many other

224
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: stories are like this. So they now four wasp wasp nests.

225
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: That is not an easy phrase to say, four wasp

226
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: nests in UH in custody, claiming it's it's it's a

227
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: low level of radiation ten times higher than the limits.

228
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: So it's not that long. So if if I see

229
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: any wasps when they're going on our trip, UH huh,

230
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: all right, we come back. Now, I'm going to do

231
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: the homeowners. Were we ever in a homeowners association?

232
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 7: I I wasn't, but my grandmother was.

233
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: People. Yes, right, homeowners' associations are really deranged.

234
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 6: They don't have anything better to do.

235
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: They're power hungry, power drunk. Yeah, there's all kinds of

236
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: questionable things always happening with the money. Oh yeah, yay.

237
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: I've rarely been involved with one, but it's not a

238
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: pleasant experience. Well, there's a new California housing bill that

239
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: was passed by the state. This is a rare bill

240
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: that Newsom signed. Well, they just cut the legs out

241
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: from under the homeowners' associations regarding all the fines that

242
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: they could levy for pickyuon violations. Tell you about it.

243
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: We come back.

244
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

245
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 5: six forty.

246
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and

247
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 1: after four o'clock it's the John Cobilt Show on demand homeowners' associations.

248
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: I know many listeners in the area, especially in Orange County,

249
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: have to live with these and I remember one day

250
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: I was teasing people in Orange County because so many

251
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: people live in these beige stucco boxes, and I didn't

252
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: understand why the color of every stucco box had to

253
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: be beige. And I started finding out with homeowners associations

254
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: that they have spices that go door to door. And

255
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: if you put like a flower box on your windowsill, right,

256
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: so you have pretty flowers to look at, that could

257
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: be a violation and they'll come by and you'll get

258
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: fined like one hundred dollars every day forever. If you

259
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: leave your garage door open, that's a fine. If your

260
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: kid leaves his bicycle on the driveway, that's a fine.

261
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 7: Now there is a benefit, though, I'm just going to

262
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 7: say that you're not going to have these yucky, beat

263
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 7: up old cars that just sit in front of your

264
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 7: house forever and nobody.

265
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 6: Claims them, right.

266
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 7: That would be cooped up and other unsightly things that

267
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 7: happen all the time in my neighborhood.

268
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,119
Speaker 1: So you're you have the soul of a homeowners association

269
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: director only.

270
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 6: Because of that stuff.

271
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 7: But if I want to paint my house a certain color,

272
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 7: but also though I really don't want to live next

273
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 7: door to somebody that paints their house hot, pink, even

274
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 7: though I do like hot.

275
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: That's that's one of your one of your favorite coming.

276
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 6: I know I love hot.

277
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: You're you're famous for your hot pink outfit.

278
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 7: But I but you don't want to live in a

279
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 7: house next door to a hot pink house.

280
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Well I would, right, there's probably an interesting woman that

281
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: lives there. Well, there is homeowner association. The thing is,

282
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, they start out with reasonable rules, but they

283
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: quickly get unreasonable and dictatorial. You give people with tiny

284
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: brains just a little bit of power. I've seen it.

285
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: I've seen it working here. The people with the tiniest

286
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: brains who have a little bit of power are the

287
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: biggest pains in the asses in the world. Those people

288
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: don't work here anymore. But this homeowners association law took

289
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: effect July the first, And now, when you commit a violation,

290
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example here. They got it. They

291
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: got a great story. Jinna Kim homeowners association said she

292
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: couldn't fix a doorway inside her condo. So this is

293
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: not even hot pink stucco here. Okay, Uh, she did

294
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: it anyway. I thought it would be okay. The doorway

295
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: completely inside her home, separated an office in a dining room.

296
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: But then the complex's manager peeked into her place through

297
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: an open garage door.

298
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 6: Oh oh, well she should have had her garage door open.

299
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: Well, you say, not only could she get fined for

300
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: leaving it open, but it allowed this, this spy this Karen, Yeah,

301
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: saw the renovation and j got to notice the next day.

302
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: It's one hundred dollars fine at first, but then it

303
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: becomes five hundred dollars a day, thirty five hundred dollars

304
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: a week forever. Well, that's ridiculous, not easy to fix.

305
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: A Well, you have a new doorway. How do you

306
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: get rid of that quickly? You don't. But July first,

307
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom, and this is the first good thing he's

308
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: done in the last six and a half years, signed

309
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: Assembly Bill one thirty into law, and now fines are

310
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: capped at a total of one hundred dollars, not one

311
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a day, total one hundred dollars. And Kim said,

312
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,959
Speaker 1: for years HOA has been able to bend entire communities

313
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: to their will on a whim. This stops that. And

314
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 1: everybody was surprised because they were it was supposed to

315
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: be one bill and then the the HOA lobbyist thought

316
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: that they had amended it properly, but somebody took the

317
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: language out and snuck it into another bill, and the

318
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: lobbyists were taken by surprise. They didn't see this coming.

319
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: It bans interest and late this on violations. It prohibits Homeowners'

320
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: associations from disciplining homeowners as long as they address violations

321
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: before the hearing. And again it's only a one hundred

322
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: dollars one time fee. And because the most obnoxious people

323
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: in society end up on homeowner sports, they do.

324
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's no.

325
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: I know it's true. I know it's true. I remember

326
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: years ago when I went on about them and making

327
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: fun of the base stucco boxes. You know, they started

328
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: calling me up. Well, you don't understand though, you know,

329
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: you have a lot of crime there, like we don't

330
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: have crime here, all right, This is why it's like,

331
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: wait a second, you're stopping crime because you don't allow

332
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: flower boxes on a windowsill. You're stopping crime because you

333
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: don't allow hot pink on your stucco.

334
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 6: But again, there are and if it's the examples that

335
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 6: I gave.

336
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: You, well, you know, beige offends me. Why would look

337
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: it does.

338
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 7: If every house is beije and looks exactly the same,

339
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 7: I get it.

340
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 6: I understand.

341
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: You know what upsets me is conformity. When I see

342
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: beij stucco houses as far as the eye can can see,

343
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: it's like I start to actually get mad.

344
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 6: Well, but you don't have to live in that community.

345
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: I know, and I wouldn't, but I'm just seeing it

346
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: triggers me. I got upset. I remember one time we

347
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: had friends who lived down the block from us, when

348
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: our kids are really small. All the all the sons

349
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: were friends, and then they moved to Orange County, Lamarata,

350
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: and we went to visit them for Halloween. We were

351
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: going to walk this beautiful beij stucco neighborhood because it

352
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: was really safe, right, good place to go for Halloween.

353
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: And the wife is Asian and we knew she had

354
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: an Asian mother. Well, we walked into a bay stucco

355
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: house and an older Asian woman answered the door, and

356
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: she was very nice and polite, and we went into

357
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: the living girl and sat down with her.

358
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 6: Oh, I know where this is going.

359
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: It took about ten minutes to realize that's not our

360
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: friend's mother. This is not our friend's house, but because

361
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,959
Speaker 1: all the homes looked alike and she looked like our

362
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: friend's mother. Actually, we did that twice in Orange County.

363
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't you read an address?

364
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: We went, We got invited to a party. We went

365
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: to the party and they had ballet and they parked

366
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: our car and we were dressed up, and we walked

367
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: in and they handed us a glass of wine. And

368
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: we started milling about looking for the friend who invited

369
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: us and couldn't find them, and just started asking around. Realized, oh,

370
00:20:54,000 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: wrong party. Twice in my life, both times in Orange County.

371
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 6: Wow, that's all I can say.

372
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: It's I don't know, is it me or is it them? No?

373
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 7: I mean I know there are some houses seriously that

374
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 7: look exactly the same. But you have to look at

375
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 7: the address so you don't make that mistake.

376
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: I got No. One of my family members lives in

377
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: a I mean, it's a nice neighborhood, right, All the

378
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: homes look alike. Every time I go visit. Not every time,

379
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: maybe about half the time. I pull up to the

380
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: wrong driveway, get out of the car, start walking up

381
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: to the wrong house. That's three times.

382
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM

Speaker 1: maybe you're just joining us now, geez or are you late?

389
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: Listen to the podcast John Cobolt Show on demand, also

390
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: on the iHeart app. Boy Oh Boy, one idiot after

391
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: another has been running Sacramento. Their old mayor was Darryl Steinberg,

392
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: who is just a steaming pile, and he used to

393
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,239
Speaker 1: be the Senate leader. The new mayor is a guy

394
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: named Kevin McCarty. And I bring them up because Steinberg

395
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: used to allow mental patience and drug addict vagrants to

396
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 1: sleep on city hall grounds overnight, so then everybody worked

397
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: at city Hall and Sacramento had to step over all

398
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: the needles and feces and dying bodies every day. Steinberg

399
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: didn't seem to care how terrifying that might be. Or

400
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: maybe government workers or such zombies they don't notice. I'm

401
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: convinced a lot of government workers are on or on

402
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: Sentinel anyway, because they're they're usual, they always seem to

403
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: be in a stupor. So then you know, the homeless

404
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: got attracted. All the vagrants came to city Hall and

405
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: they would hang out all day and all night on

406
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: the streets nearby and the park across the street. No

407
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: whole neighborhood was destroyed by Steinberg's policy. So a new

408
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: guy comes in, Kevin McCarty, and he's got a new policy.

409
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: The vagrants, the mental patients, the drug addicts cannot sleep

410
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: outside City Hall anymore. I have a new ordinance, no

411
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 1: homeless drug addicts between nine pm and six am. This

412
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: is from California Globe dot Com Katie Grimes because McCarty said,

413
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: cleaning up after the drug addicts and mental patients cost

414
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: taxpayers three hundred and fifty five thousand dollars a year

415
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: just for sleeping on the city hall property. And so

416
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: this sounds great, right, McCarty is undoing a really stupid idea.

417
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: It's going to save a lot of money. Except they

418
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: don't send the homeless for mandatory mental health and drug treatment.

419
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: They just tell them, you know, get off by lawn basically,

420
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: So now they're going to be wandering around all the

421
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: local streets. Now that they invited a whole community, they're

422
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 1: going to be wandering around all the local streets and

423
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: the businesses and in the parks, and sometimes they wander

424
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: into neighborhood homes. There's nothing in the ordinance that sends

425
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: them forces them into treatment. Now, you know what's amazing.

426
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: For all the lobbying and bribery that goes on, businesses

427
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: in all these cities seem incapable of bribing the mayor

428
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: and the city council with enough money to get them

429
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: to toss these people once.

430
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 6: And for all.

431
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: You know'll build some kind of asylum and take them

432
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: there again, forced treatment. I will say this till I

433
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: drop dead. If they don't mandate force treatment, this is

434
00:24:55,240 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: never going away. Never. And Steinberger was mayor for quite

435
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: some time, and he never did anything about the mentally ill,

436
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: drug addicted population that lives in the streets, even though

437
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, when he was in the Senate he was

438
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: very proud of his millionaire's tax. It added an extra

439
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: percentage point on wealthy people income text and the money

440
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: was supposed to go for mental health treatment. And I

441
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: remember a few years later they had all this money

442
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: sitting in various accounts, and much of it wasn't spent

443
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: because they didn't know what to spend it on, because

444
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and three, two thousand and four,

445
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 1: they didn't have this problem. And there's a councilwoman up

446
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: in Sacramento named my Thang, and she was against the change.

447
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: She was against this new Mayor Kevin McCarty's ordinance to

448
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: get the homeless off city hall property. And she said,

449
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: this policy does not build housing. This policy does not

450
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: treat the health of our neighbors. Oh man, that's Garcetti language.

451
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: Our neighbors, Yes, our fellow Angelinos. This policy does not

452
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: address the root causes of the crisis, all true. But

453
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: the root causes of the crisis are mental illness and drugs.

454
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: So you have to force them into treatment, right, police,

455
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 1: police use the police, round them up at gunpoint if necessary,

456
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: and put them in vans and lock them up and

457
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: treat them. It's the only thing that'll work. We've done

458
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 1: ten years the other way and they won't do that,

459
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: which is fascinating. Of course, I don't know if there's

460
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: enough mental health professionals and drug addiction professionals that exist

461
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: to staff these would be facilities, but they never build any,

462
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: they never staff them. They and we know why because

463
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: they don't actually care. Eventually, all the people sleeping on

464
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: City Hull are going to die. They're gonna die of

465
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: their drug addiction and mental illness. They're gonna there's I'm

466
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: sure they're carried off regularly. This is because the whole

467
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: industry is meant to enrich nonprofits, where most of the

468
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: major players in any nonprofit are making well into six figures,

469
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: and there's just lots of money for everybody. And you know,

470
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: when when when something doesn't happen for ten years, you

471
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: have to say why. I mean, everybody knows it's mental

472
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: illness and drug addicts, so why don't we put them

473
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: into treatment? Force them into treatment. Everybody goes silent, Well, no,

474
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: you don't do that because that would get them off

475
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: the streets, make some of them better. That ends the racket.

476
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 1: Then no more money for the for the nonprofits. So

477
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: the scam goes to live another day. I don't know

478
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,359
Speaker 1: when the public figures this out. Public's largely scrolling. All right,
