1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 2: I am six forty.

3
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 3: Every day we're on from one until four o'clock, and

5
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 3: every day after four o'clock when you realize, uh oh,

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 3: I missed the show, Well there's a makeup. It's called

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 3: John Cobelt's Show on Demand. It's the podcast on the

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 3: iHeart app. So, as I say every day, there is

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 3: no excuse not to ingest all three hours. Now, keep

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: listening because later this hour, Debra's got a story. She

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: started yelling at a homeless guy yesterday from her car.

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: Okay, who does that?

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 4: Me?

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: I don't know anyone else in my life? Who does that?

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: I know?

16
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: Okay, okay. But it was a good cost. There was

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: an animal in distress. So we'll explain all that coming

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: up later in the hour. But first, oh my goodness,

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: California Assembly Democrats's gutted a bill today. They removed provisions

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 3: that would make it a felony to buy a sixteen

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: or a seventeen year old for sex. Seriously, I have

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: the names here. Carl DeMaio, the Republican assemblyman at of

23
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: San Diego, told us about this yesterday and We're going

24
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: to get him on now to explain what happened. Carl

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: you there.

26
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: I'm here, and I am stunned that Democrats. I guess

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: I shouldn't be so surprised with the craziness in this building.

28
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 4: They took a bill, Assembly Bill three seventy nine from

29
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: Maggie Crell that would have made it a felony to

30
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 4: purchase minor children for sex. Sex trafficking purchased minor children

31
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 4: as young as sixteen and seventeen. The bill would have

32
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: made it a felony. Democrats don't want to make it

33
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: a felony, so they gutted the bill with an amendment

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: that basically made it completely irrelevant. I mean, someone is

35
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 4: not going to get prosecuted. It says that it's a misdemeanor,

36
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 4: and misdemeanors are not going to be prosecuted in the

37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 4: state of California. They as parking violations, were trying to

38
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 4: make it a felony. Why should it be that sixteen

39
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 4: and seventeen year olds somehow are perfectly fair game. And

40
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 4: that's what Democrats have done by by voting this simple

41
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: build down, They've made us once again the only state

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 4: in the Union that does not make it a crime

43
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: to purchase people for sex.

44
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: Is that right? Is that true?

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 4: Yes, we're the only state, we're the only state union

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 4: that has this exemption because we're not talking.

47
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: About having sex with a sixteen or seventeener.

48
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 3: We're talking about buying a girl or a boy off

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: the street for sex.

50
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 4: Exactly exactly, this is buying. And of course the LGBT

51
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 4: Democrat caucus this is a LGBT vote. I'm offended by that.

52
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 4: As a gay Republican, I'm sick and tired of radical leftist,

53
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: extremist Democrat politicians using the gay community as window dressing

54
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: for their shameful, deviant policies, their dangerous policies. That's what

55
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 4: happened here today, and we forced a recorded vote. They

56
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: tried killing this bill in the committee, and they did

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: that two days ago. Then we did a number of

58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: parliamentary procedure motions today and we forced the hand of

59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 4: Democrats to bring the book bill up and were going

60
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 4: to We brought the bill up in its original form,

61
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: so then the Democrats quickly amended it to gut it again.

62
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 4: But we got a recorded vote and the Democrats overwhelming

63
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 4: with the exception of three Democrats, and I appreciate the

64
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: three that did break ranks, but they overwhelmingly voted to

65
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 4: again make it fair game for predators to go after

66
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 4: young minor children age sixteen and seventeen and five them

67
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 4: for sex. This is the Sex Traffickers' Empowerment Act. That's

68
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 4: what California has, and it's shameful.

69
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: That's just incredible. The legislator who filed this bill is

70
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: Maggie Krell. She's a woman and a Democrat and a

71
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 3: former prosecutor. And the Democrats turned on her.

72
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: Yes, and I appreciate her leadership on this issue. She

73
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: was furious because you know, there's bill common sense. I

74
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: talked to Democrat voters. I talked to gay voters, and

75
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 4: they all believe that this bill should have been passed

76
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 4: as is. It should have been a felony. Instead, the

77
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: Democrats gutted it made it meaningless. Oh but you know

78
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 4: what they're doing today. They're all wearing denim. It's called

79
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: Denham Day. And they say that they're wearing Denham to

80
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: stand in solidarity with victims of domestic violence and sexual violence. Well,

81
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 4: you know it's not that when your clothes virtue signaling

82
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 4: using clothes I'd rather have your damn vote to protect

83
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: these children. And today the Democrats supermajority once again showed

84
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 4: that they are willing to prioritize criminals and sex traffickers

85
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: over victims of crime.

86
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: Is the claim that this is an anti gay bill?

87
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: Is that cover for something else? Are there other reasons

88
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: they have? Are are these men running around buying sixteen

89
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 3: and seventeen year old girls and boys late at night

90
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: and they don't want their fun to be messed with?

91
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 4: That's that's the dirty little secret, the dirty little secret.

92
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: Because the media was asking questions like why why won't

93
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 4: they make this a felling? I mean, this is crazy.

94
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 4: You shouldn't be able to buy anyone for sex. It

95
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: should be a felony, particularly when it comes to minor

96
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 4: children sixteen and seventeen who are not even of age.

97
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 4: And the dirty little secret is the extreme LGBT caucus

98
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 4: of the Democratic Party demands this vote because unfortunately, they

99
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 4: represent a deviant philosophy. They believe that it is normal.

100
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 4: They say it's normal for men, men adults to teach

101
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 4: young children. Again, I'm not homophobic, I'm a gay republic.

102
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: Let me just tell you what they are saying. They're

103
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 4: saying it's anti LGBT to make this a felony, which

104
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: means that there's some sort of benefit in the LGBT

105
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 4: community to be able to buy sixteen and seventeen year

106
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 4: old boys and girls. Ask those questions.

107
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: That's still a small contingent of the Democrats. Most of

108
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: the Democrats gonna fall in that category.

109
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 4: No, but you can't cross the LGBT caucus because it's

110
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: like crossing the African American Black Caucus. You're not allowed

111
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 4: to do it. If one caucus demands it, then everyone

112
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 4: has to toe the line. And this is how really

113
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: how political these people are, is that they're more interested

114
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 4: in identity politics and cow telling the different extreme groups

115
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 4: and factions rather than doing what's right for our kids.

116
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,119
Speaker 4: And let me just say this. We forced the vote,

117
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 4: and we now have a recorded vote of the Democrats

118
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 4: who put their name behind not having it be a

119
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 4: felony for sixteen and seventeen year old children to be

120
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 4: purchased for sex. And I plan to use that weaponize

121
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: it in the next election. We need to punish the

122
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: Democrats who voted for this nonsense and throw them out

123
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: of office. And now we have a list of people

124
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: that we can go after because we did our amendments.

125
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 4: One final point, the Democrats said, it's become so controversial

126
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 4: in this chamber in the last one hundred days. And

127
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: you know what my response was, get used to it,

128
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 4: Get used to it. This is what an opposition party

129
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 4: looks like. This is what is required for us to

130
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 4: take back our state from far left insanity. Is we

131
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 4: need to have an opposition party that's going to be aggressive.

132
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: I want to thank my fellow Republicans for staying alive

133
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 4: and forcing today's vote.

134
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsome weighed in and he had no influence on this.

135
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: They released a statement and newsome statement was, the law

136
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 3: should treat all sex predators who so the solicit minor

137
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: the same as a felony, regardless of the intended victims.

138
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: Age full stop. Even threw in a full stop at

139
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: the end. That's when he's really serious. So they ignored him.

140
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: They did ignore him. But let's be clear here, he's

141
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 4: just focusing on his presidential ambitions. The truth is he's

142
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 4: the one that signed in the law SB one and

143
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: twenty twenty that allowed grown men to molest children as

144
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 4: young as fourteen and avoid mandatory sex Defender Registry. That

145
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 4: was Davin Newsom who signed SB four forty five. Then

146
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: he signed SB ninety eight in twenty twenty two that

147
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 4: legalized loitering for the purpose of prostitution, which basically.

148
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 2: In the powers as usual. He's a big phony.

149
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 4: He's a phony. Yes, yes, so, I don't you know. Fine,

150
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: he released a statement, but he doesn't have a whole

151
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: lot of credibility and most Democrats know that he's a fraud.

152
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: That's great, all right, Carl, thanks for coming on with us.

153
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: Thank you so much. Sick.

154
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: It's good that you're in Sacramento. Now we will we'll

155
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: discuss more on this. And what do you think one

156
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: thirty We could. I don't have anything else scheduled at

157
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: one thirty.

158
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 5: Right, whatever you want, Okay, all.

159
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: Right, Debra yells at a homeless person.

160
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 5: I had good reason too, there was.

161
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 3: An animal in distress. But just my recommendation is you

162
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 3: do not yell at homeless people.

163
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 5: Because I know he was appalled when I text I

164
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 5: was appalled last night.

165
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I get appalled every day.

166
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: That's true.

167
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

168
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: six forty.

169
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: That weather bought ate up a lot of time.

170
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: I did, mister excitement there all right, coming up after

171
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 3: Deber's news at one.

172
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: It's more Deborah because.

173
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 5: One thing, you can't get enough of me.

174
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 3: You know, you're on all day, all afternoon, all night.

175
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: I know somewhere in the world, Debrah's voice is floating around. Yes,

176
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: and anyway, we'll talk about why you were yelling at

177
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: almless people yesterday. If you heard, I know this seems

178
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 3: like it happened an hour and a half ago.

179
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: But we had.

180
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: Carl Demio, the Republican assemblyman from San Diego, and he

181
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: engineered a vote and on the record vote. So we

182
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: know now that there are fifty five Democratic assembly people,

183
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: fifty five of them who thinks it's okay to buy

184
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 3: sixteen and seventeen year olds on the street for sex.

185
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: You have a son or a daughter.

186
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: With this crowd, it's cool if your kids are sold

187
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: for sex, no felony. There's fifty states in this country.

188
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: Forty nine of them say it's a felony to buy

189
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 3: a teenager for sex on the street. One state says no.

190
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: Guess which state. Yes, you're living in it. Your son

191
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 3: or daughter can be bought on the street for sex.

192
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: And the person buying will not have committed a felony.

193
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 3: It would be a misdemeanor at best. Misdemeanor offenses are

194
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: not enforced and there is no real punishment for them,

195
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: so it's basically a freebie, a free teenage girl, free

196
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: teenage boy. There you go. How about that? What a

197
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: bunch of perverts. I'm just gonna say it. They're a

198
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: bunch of perverts. How could they not be? Put yourself

199
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: in one of their seats. Say to yourself, Okay, I'm

200
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: the assembly member representing my town. Let's say you're a Irvine,

201
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 3: you're in Long Beach, you're in Gstaic, you're in Burbank.

202
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 3: I'm representing the people here, and you're given a bill

203
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: that says we got to make this a felony to

204
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 3: buy teenagers on the street for sex. And you'd say, well,

205
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 3: of course it should be that way already.

206
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: It's not.

207
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: It's a felony in forty nine other states, but not here.

208
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 3: And this is really bizarre. And I guess only Carl

209
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 3: Demya would be allowed to speak out about this because

210
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 3: he's a gay Republican and he said there's a gay

211
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: Democrat group who thinks it's perfectly normal for adult I

212
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 3: guess in this case would be adult men to have

213
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: sex with teenage boys. He said that is the impetus

214
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 3: to keep this crime from being a felony. I wouldn't

215
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: know about these things, but he says that's what's going on.

216
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: And the Democrats because everybody is so woke and so terrified.

217
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 3: I mean even the women, even the female Democrats not

218
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: bothered by girls. Because that's the other thing, not just

219
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: young gay men being sold on the streets, it's lots

220
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 3: of women. It's a lot of immigrant girls. What are

221
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: you think's going on all these years, all these young

222
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: girls taking over the border, some of them against their will.

223
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: They're sold on the street for sex and the person

224
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: buying no crime. This is really one of the sickest things.

225
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 3: I never knew who could get this sick. I don't

226
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 3: have a high opinion of all these bastards at all,

227
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: but this is really disgusting. Now, I just have a

228
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 3: list of who voted for and who voted against here.

229
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 3: But what I want to do, and maybe we'll do

230
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: this next week is is late. Maybe a few names

231
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: each day Democratic Assembly people who serve here in Southern

232
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 3: California within the listening area, and I realized we have

233
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: a lot of listeners to the podcast up north. But

234
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: you know, one thing at a time, and we are

235
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: going to highlight these people who think it's okay to

236
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: buy teenage girls and boys for sex on the street.

237
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: The vote today would have made it a felony crime

238
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: to buy sixteen and seven year old sixteen and seventeen

239
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 3: year old miners for sex, and they gutted the bill,

240
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: and a yes vote meant yes, I want to gut

241
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 3: the bill and remove that provision. So we've got the

242
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 3: names here, but there's fifty five of them, and the

243
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 3: vote just happened a short time ago, so we will

244
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 3: continue on this. I think these people should be made miserable.

245
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: I think there are a bunch of perverts at deviates,

246
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: I really do. I could not in good conscience. I mean, seriously,

247
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: good lord, you you vote for really disgraceful human beings,

248
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: really just disgraceful devian people. I don't know what's going

249
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: on out there. When we come back, Debri yells at

250
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 3: a homeless man, but.

251
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: It was for a good cause.

252
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 5: Thank you. You're making me out to be mean.

253
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: No, no, you're not mean, I'm mean.

254
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 5: I'm kind of mean too.

255
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am.

256
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: Sixty run every day from one until four and after

257
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,359
Speaker 3: four o'clock John cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast,

258
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: and that's on the iHeartRadio app too. So last night,

259
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 3: I'm sitting quietly at home because my wife is away,

260
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: so I had absolute peace. And guess who breaks the peace?

261
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: Me?

262
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: Yes, you text phone calls. Apparently you had some kind

263
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: of incident with a homeless guy. You're yelling at him.

264
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 3: So what I mean, I know it was for a

265
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: good reason. We'll just carrying on here.

266
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 5: But before that happened, I needed gas. So I go

267
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 5: down this street on the way to my local gas

268
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: station in the West San Fernando Valley, and there's a

269
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 5: new homeless camp and a new one one that I've

270
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 5: never seen before. Lots of people, and to be honest,

271
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 5: they all looked like they were on drugs and had

272
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 5: some issues.

273
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: That's why they're there.

274
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 5: And so then I pull into the gas station and

275
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 5: this one homeless woman who I see all the time,

276
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: she starts walking from that homeless camp to the gas

277
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 5: station and I'm just hoping she's not going to come

278
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 5: to me, because she comes and she asks people for

279
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 5: any She's there all the time, so now I know

280
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 5: where she originates from. So anyway, she leaves me alone.

281
00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 5: I get in the car and I'm going on the

282
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 5: Turrible of Art and I see this guy that looked homeless,

283
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 5: wasn't wearing a shirt, and he has wear and he

284
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,679
Speaker 5: well it was a little warm yesterday in the valley,

285
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 5: and he has a dog looked like some kind of

286
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 5: lab mix on a leash. He's in front, he's he's

287
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 5: not abusing the dog. I want to make that clear.

288
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 5: I wasn't abusing the dog. But he was walking rather fast,

289
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 5: and the poor dog was limping. The hind leg was up,

290
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 5: not even like hopping. And I'm watching this and I

291
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,919
Speaker 5: could see the dog is clearly in pain. This guy's

292
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 5: not looking at the dog. I don't know if he

293
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 5: has any clue.

294
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: Was he dragging the dog.

295
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 5: He wasn't dragging the dog.

296
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: I was trying to hop along.

297
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 5: Yes, but when because you know that we have recently

298
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 5: reported stories on dog abuse. So this guy wasn't flipping

299
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 5: the dog over his shoulder anything like that. But clearly

300
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 5: the dog was not happy, and the dog's tongue was

301
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 5: hanging out. So I did roll down my window as

302
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 5: I was driving by, and I yelled, I said.

303
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: Your dog is in pain, just like that.

304
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 5: Just like I sounded like a lunatic.

305
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 3: I know.

306
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 5: I didn't even think about it. It just happened. Which

307
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 5: is why I get myself in so much trouble all

308
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 5: the time, because I have a big mouth, and he

309
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 5: looks at me. And so I did call my local

310
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: city council office. I told him about the homeless camp

311
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 5: and I also told them about the dog, and so

312
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 5: they gave me a phone number to a police officer

313
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 5: who does outreach in that area. Yeah, and this officer,

314
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 5: I have to say, was amazing. I left a message

315
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 5: and she was off and she called me right back

316
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 5: and said, I'm really sorry mister call I'm not working today.

317
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 5: But she knew the guy that I was talking about,

318
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 5: of course.

319
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: And because he's been around there for years.

320
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 5: Yes, And she told me that he does have a

321
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 5: girlfriend who is in some transitional household. He has a girlfriend,

322
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 5: and that she was going to check on him to

323
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 5: day when she was working and check on the dog.

324
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 5: And uh. And she did tell me, look and I'm

325
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 5: not saying this person's name, but she did mention that

326
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 5: things are probably going to get a lot worse with

327
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 5: the homeless situation because of the budget that's going on, yeah,

328
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 5: or lack of budget or whatever you want to say.

329
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 5: The billion dollars in the word.

330
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: There's short a billion dollars, right.

331
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 3: I spend a lot of money on the homeless, so

332
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 3: there's going to be cuts there.

333
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 5: Yeah. And then she did send me a text this

334
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 5: morning saying that they did go talk to the guy.

335
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 5: He did say that the dog has been taken to

336
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 5: a vet, animal resources or regulations. Someone's going to be

337
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 5: coming out and looking at the dog. So that's really

338
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 5: what I cared about the most.

339
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 3: So somebody's looking at the dog to see what's going on, Okay,

340
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 3: to see the extent of the injury. Yes, no, that's

341
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 3: that was a wonderful thing he did for the for

342
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 3: the sake of the dog.

343
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 5: Well, I felt I felt so hopeless. And what was

344
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 5: so funny is when I did call and talk to

345
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 5: the police officer and the city council office, they said, well,

346
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 5: you know, if if the dog is being abused, don't

347
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 5: call the police. I said, the dog's not being abused.

348
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 5: But if the dog was abused, call animal REGs. That's

349
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: what they said, animal REGs. Okay, really, I've been down

350
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 5: that road before, you.

351
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: Know, but they don't show up.

352
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 5: First of all, it's almost impossible to get somebody. Maybe

353
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 5: things have changed. I haven't called in a very long time,

354
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 5: but this was almost five o'clock. Yeah right, no, no,

355
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: nobody's nobody's going to come. But I did feel very helpless.

356
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 5: I really didn't know what. I mean, what am I

357
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 5: going to do? Pull over and take the dog?

358
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: I mean.

359
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 5: I thought about it, but I.

360
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 3: Thought you would jump out and wrench the leash away

361
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 3: from him.

362
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: I throw the dog in your car.

363
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 5: I seriously thought, what can I do?

364
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: Well?

365
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 5: I can't. Just again, the dog wasn't being abused. If

366
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 5: the dog, if he was kicking, that would have.

367
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 3: Been borderline, though it is if it has a bad

368
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 3: leg and he be forced to chase his owner.

369
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 5: I know, but I'm only me, right, and me up

370
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 5: against this guy and.

371
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, I know, because they have weapons.

372
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 5: But I'm sure there's gonna be a listener that's gonna

373
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 5: send me an email and saying, oh my god, I

374
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 5: can't believe you did I did what I did. I

375
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 5: called the council office, and I called the police officer,

376
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 5: and they went and checked on the dog. So please

377
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 5: don't email me and tell me that.

378
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 2: I didn't do that. Somebody's gonna do it.

379
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 5: I'm gonna ignore them. So don't waste your breath. You

380
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 5: don't waste your your typing skills or what have you.

381
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 5: I'm ignoring it.

382
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 3: But these people are really dangerous. They're unbalanced. If if

383
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: if if he's out on the street for years, right,

384
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, dog, if the cop knows

385
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: who the guy is.

386
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 5: Yes, but I'm gonna be fair and I'm gonna say

387
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 5: yes because as a newsperson. Why but this woman did say,

388
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 5: uh that a lot of the homeless people in my

389
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 5: neck of the woods do want to be in a

390
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 5: house they want because I said to her, I know,

391
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 5: I did say full disclosure. I didn't stay where I worked,

392
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 5: but I said, look, I am the news anchor. We

393
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 5: do stories on the homeless all the time, and I

394
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 5: understand that a lot of people that are living on

395
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 5: the streets they don't want they don't want the inside

396
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 5: safe program. They don't they don't want, they don't want

397
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 5: to be housed, and she said, well, actually, here I

398
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 5: have to say a lot of them do, but there

399
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 5: just isn't enough housing.

400
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: Well they could, they could go get a job.

401
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 5: I'm telling you this, this homeless camp that I drove

402
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 5: by the job candidates there, I don't not at the

403
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 5: moment I.

404
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 3: Should say yeah, So that's that's the problem. There's no

405
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 3: way to build housing for all these people.

406
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 2: It's and the way the city builds housing it costs

407
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: over a million dollars.

408
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 5: Well, and now how's that going to happen? We have

409
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 5: no money even though.

410
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: We're out of money.

411
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, because the whole thing is because it's not set

412
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 3: up to help.

413
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 5: All but John, the voters voted for Measure AIM.

414
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: They don't care about the voters.

415
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 5: But what but what about our sales tax money? Isn't

416
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: that is not going to help? Is that helping the homeless?

417
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,679
Speaker 5: That's that's what it's supposed to.

418
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: It's going to be stolen by the nonprofits and all

419
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 3: the other bureaucrats.

420
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 5: Impossible. This whole situation is a nightmare every way, every

421
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 5: which way you look at it.

422
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: Well, this is Karen Bass's Los Angeles. This is what

423
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 2: the people vote for.

424
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 3: They vote for corruption and incompetence and just just idiocy.

425
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't, you can't let you have.

426
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 3: You must you must outlaw people living in public, which

427
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: goes on in ninety nine percent of the cities in

428
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 3: this country. It's just against the law. You can't do.

429
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 5: But one other thing I want to say, I asked her.

430
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 5: I said, you know, is anything being done about these

431
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 5: people coming? I said, when I pump my guess, I said, admittedly,

432
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 5: I'm a little nervous because these homeless people are coming

433
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 5: and they're constantly asking for money. And and she said, well,

434
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 5: the owner of the gas station doesn't want to do anything.

435
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 5: And I said why because they could be arrested. And

436
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: I said, well, but why not and she said, well

437
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 5: because they have to appear in court and they don't

438
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 5: want to. So she said unless the owner of the

439
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 5: gas station calls and says, please take these people, arrest them,

440
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 5: take them off, and.

441
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 2: Then that guy has to go into it.

442
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 5: He has to go into course. So he's like, forget that.

443
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 3: No, that's that's outrageous. Well, what a ridiculous, stupid system.

444
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 3: And it's all it's all biased against normal working people.

445
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 3: There's there we have no rights, We have no avenue

446
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 3: to change things, to make things better because there's nobody

447
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 3: in Karen Bass's government who cares, well, you did, you

448
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: did the right thing. Well, we got to see if

449
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: that dog said.

450
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: I know, I felt so bad. I really did. But

451
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 5: at least at least I mean, look the dog. Can

452
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: you imagine the dog. It's either going to be with

453
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: this guy that hopefully really did get the dog some

454
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 5: kind of attention.

455
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: You can't take care earth the dog.

456
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, but is it going to be in a shelter

457
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 5: and then it's just going to be euthanized?

458
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: Right?

459
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 5: I mean that's also what I was weighing.

460
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 2: That dog's at a dead end here. Yeah, all right,

461
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 2: more coming up.

462
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six.

463
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: As long as we're talking about animals. That was just

464
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 3: telling the story of driving by a homeless guy who

465
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: was pulling an animal behind her behind him and the

466
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 3: animal had a bad leg. The animal was hopping trying

467
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: to keep up, and Deble went into action, got the

468
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 3: police involved. But that story hasn't been resolved yet.

469
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 2: LA.

470
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 3: You mentioned LA animal shelters, right, Yeah, talked about them

471
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: all week because you could report the dog being in trouble,

472
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: and then the dog goes to a shelter, and then

473
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 3: Karen Vassi's crowd kills the dog. She got a lot

474
00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: of crap because in her original budget she was cutting

475
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 3: millions of dollars five million almost to Animal Services. And

476
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: this was going to mean three out of the six

477
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: shelters would close, which means there would be a big

478
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 3: backlog of pets and those pets would be killed. And

479
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: there was so much blowback that they took five million

480
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: dollars from somewhere and put it in another section of

481
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 3: the budget. It's got one of these bureaucratic names, unappropriated balance,

482
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,239
Speaker 3: and that's La Time says. That's a holding tank for

483
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 3: funds that have not yet been finalized. So she did

484
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 3: do the cut. She lies about this stuff. She cut

485
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 3: the fire department last year too, and then when the

486
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 3: protest is too strong, they have like a little piggy

487
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: bank that they can break into just to shut people

488
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 3: up and refund Animal Services. If people hadn't responded the

489
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 3: way they did, then they would have closed.

490
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 2: The three shelters.

491
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: When Bess rolled out her budget, there's short of billion

492
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 3: dollars and the Mayor's staff didn't think there'd be enough

493
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 3: money to prevent layoffs at animal services. But then they

494
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 3: found the five million, but it was too late to

495
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 3: put it into the official animal services budget. If you

496
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: went to page one thousand and thirteen of the budget,

497
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: you would find the category of Animal Services Operations and

498
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 3: that's the extra that's where the extra five million is.

499
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 3: Can you imagine a page one than and thirteen And

500
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 3: then she goes around and say, this is exactly the

501
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: fire department story. I mean, otherwise you'd have that five

502
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: million in the original budget. That's not a place you

503
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: should be cutting. I'm reading today another story we're going

504
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 3: to get to later. You know they're cutting the police department.

505
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 3: It's all all because of the excessive money wasted on

506
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: the homeless. Been telling you about this for years. You

507
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 3: cannot do this. The homeless take a disproportionate share of

508
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: our public tax money and they're not worth it. They're

509
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: simply not worth it. Not when you've been cutting the

510
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 3: fire department in half. The police department is way short

511
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 3: of the personnel they need, both uniformed cops and support staff.

512
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 3: The animal shelters, half of them nearly closed. You have

513
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: to start saying, wait a second, we can't subsidize vagrants,

514
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: mental patience, and drug in the streets anymore. We can't

515
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: do this. It's not sustainable. Now what I'm hearing did

516
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: a little, a little digging this, Karen Bess. Inside Safe

517
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: program very expensive and they don't have the money for

518
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: it anymore. So it could be going bye bye. And

519
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 3: you know, the county pulled out of financing LASA Homeless

520
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: Services Authority, and it looks as if they might have

521
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: be pulling money out of Inside Safe as well. Little murky,

522
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: but funding for inside Safe is not there.

523
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: They're short.

524
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: I don't think it did very much. They could claim

525
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 3: a slight statistical drop, but the drop is so small

526
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: that nobody notices. And uh, if you, if you, most

527
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: cities say it's illegal to be here. You can't sleep

528
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: in the streets, sidewalks, parks, whatever it is, you can't,

529
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 3: and you get arrested and you get forced into treatment.

530
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: That's what you should do.

531
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 3: And harassed the people enough so they go elsewhere where

532
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 3: they go doesn't matter. You've got to get out of

533
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: this business. But there's such an industry now of all

534
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: these criminal nonprofits that it's entrenched it's like the mafia.

535
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 3: They're shaking us down and claiming that they're more compassionate

536
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: and more loving than we are. No, it's it's their racket,

537
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 3: and this has got to be busted up.

538
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 2: This racket.

539
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 3: It can't go on because what's suffering animals? Fire departments cut,

540
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 3: police departments cut. I mean, that's insanity to finance a

541
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: corrupt mob like industry, the homeless industry.

542
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: All right.

543
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,479
Speaker 3: Right after Deborah's news, Dan Dawe he's the San Louis

544
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 3: Obispo County District Attorney, and the Born of Parole is

545
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 3: voted to release a guy who now claims he's a woman,

546
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: But when he was a guy, he murdered his daughter

547
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 3: twenty two months old, killed her and he only spent

548
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: twelve years in prison, and the Border Parole is letting

549
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 3: him out, and Dan Daal wants the governor to do something.

550
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,840
