1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: app after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: the iHeart App.

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was thinking.

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: Yesterday the city and county announced new homeless numbers, and

7
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: supposedly the number of homeless is down about three and

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: a half percent in the city four percent in the county,

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 2: which is very little.

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: It's still well.

11
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: Over seventy thousand homeless people out there, so it's and

12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: it's way higher than it was six years ago, which

13
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: was way higher than six years before that. So there's

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: no success there. If you see any media or public

15
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: officials celebrating success, they're full of crap.

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: They're lying.

17
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: But I did think that perhaps the three percent that

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: matches almost exactly the number of homeless people who die

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 2: every year in La County. So I guess that's why

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: there are fewer homeless people, because Karen Bass and the

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: county border supervisors let that three to four percent die.

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 2: That's what happens. We're about three thousand fewer homeless people

23
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: in the county and about three thousand die every year.

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: Now there you go.

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: It's a good way to get rid of the problem.

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: Just wait until they tip over from a fentonel overdose,

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: and then hold the press conference and say, look, how

28
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: we're reducing homelessness. We're allowing them to inject themselves to death. Yeah,

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: all right, take a bot for that. And there's so

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: many homeless in Santa Monica. There's so many awful things

31
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 2: going on. John Alley is sometimes it seems like he's

32
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: the only guy who's fighting it. He's a businessman with

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: the Santa Monica Coalition, and he's gotten a lot of

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: coverage recently because he's going around offering homeless people one

35
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: way tickets out of town so they can get back

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: with their families and friends. He's got donors who are

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: offering the money. Let's get John Alley on.

38
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: John, how are you hi, John Great.

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: I give us the parameters of this program.

40
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: Well, do I believe homelessness has been reduced by three percent?

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: Nobody in our coalition does. Nope. We believe unreported homelessness,

42
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: more people living in carports, garages, underpasses, has increased. We're

43
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: now LA County is twelve percent of the total US

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 3: homeless population. That's seventy five thousand homeless individuals. So our

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: goal is to be more efficient and our group, the coalition,

46
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 3: sat down and we talked about it. We talked about

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: using better technology, faster response, being more efficient. So we

48
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: tried something different. We wanted to check it out. We

49
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 3: checked out what the city was doing, we checked out

50
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: what the county was doing. We saw that there was

51
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: no response, no one getting back to us. Opened a

52
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: line that you wait on for four or five five

53
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: minutes with a lots of different responses. You can click

54
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: on the key and we partnered with a tremendous AI firm,

55
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: Fast Response AI, and with their technology, we can intake

56
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: five hundred people per month, and that's much higher than

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: the cities of La or Santa Monica or the County

58
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: of La are even able to consider handling. We don't

59
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: need the staffing and it's efficient, it's it's working, and

60
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: we just feel that there's no need for multi year contracts,

61
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 3: automatic grants for these nonprofits. Who has those anymore? A

62
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: billion dollars.

63
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: The criminals do.

64
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: They keep that in place because it's easier to steal

65
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: the money.

66
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: A billion was budgeted last year on homelessness, and it

67
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: led to a reduction of just about three percent or

68
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 3: sixteen hundred people, but three percent, as you were saying,

69
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: that's less than the margin of error for most election

70
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: and polls. So if you take one billion and you

71
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: divide it by stay sixteen hundred homeless, that's six hundred

72
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: thousand per person. We can do better for family reunification.

73
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: It's costing us. The Santa Monica Coalition really gracious donors

74
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 3: stepping up all over the city, all over the county,

75
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: all over the state, and we're handling the situation with

76
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: a five hundred dollars gray m bus ticket or airfare

77
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: per person, and they're getting real care on their own

78
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: volition from people that really need and want acceptance from

79
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 3: their families, and we're verifying that they want to go.

80
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: I've gone out on a couple and to test it myself,

81
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: and it's it's just been heartbreaking to see the number

82
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 3: of people that don't want to be here. The homeless,

83
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 3: don't feel safe here.

84
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: The homeless are begging to get out, and so they're

85
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: taking your money.

86
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 1: To go home.

87
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 3: And it's working. We've got people going to Chicago, people

88
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 3: going to Philadelphia. Yesterday we were out by the former

89
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: Sears building which is now the temporary Palle High Campus

90
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: in Santa Monica, and we handed out I was on

91
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: a tour actually with someone from Corona who saw their

92
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 3: brother in one of the telecasts on KTLA, and they

93
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 3: called us and said, John, we saw a picture of

94
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: someone in the background while you're on the air. We

95
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: want to meet you. So I went out and met them.

96
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: We walked around and we ran across four or five

97
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: people in the grass areas next to Pelley High. The

98
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 3: temporary campus handed out a few of the flyers that

99
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 3: give our number and the messages when and if you're

100
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 3: ever ready to go back home, called this number. There

101
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 3: was a guy asleep and he got up and said,

102
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: I'm interested. I want to go home. My dad's part

103
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: of a gang, and I have dual Mexican and US citizenship.

104
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: It's safer back home. I want to go home. And

105
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 3: we're finding that all over. We received a call last

106
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 3: week from a woman and a shelter, a local shelter

107
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: who is being harassed and accosted and didn't feel safe.

108
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: She said, if I stay in here, I'm not safe.

109
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: If I go out on the sidewalk, I'll be assaulted.

110
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 3: She said, I only have mace. They have knives. So

111
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: this is and by the way, where we took the

112
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: woman whose brother is missing to the police department. The

113
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: police Santa Monica police work tremendous. They found him on

114
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: social services, had not committed a crime, so he's wandering

115
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 3: around here somewhere, and they are welcome to accept him

116
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: back at any time. And we're finding that ninety percent

117
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 3: of the people that we see that don't have needles

118
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: with them, that we don't see knives hanging out of

119
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: their bags. They're interested in this program, and we can

120
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: handle the program with very few staff, with this great

121
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 3: fast response AI firm. And we don't understand why the

122
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: city and the county city of Santa Monica, in the

123
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: city of la and the nonprofits that are supposed to

124
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: be doing this work, this isn't our bill because.

125
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Because this would put them out of business.

126
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: That's why, right then all those people making the six

127
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: figure salaries would have to find real work. I'm convinced

128
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: that the whole thing is such a massive corrupt operation

129
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 2: that is paying so many people so much money. Nobody

130
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 2: wants those nonprofits to fold up. And they're all politically

131
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: connected or related or staffed by people in these governments.

132
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 3: They may not like our message, our banners or signs,

133
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: but our hearts are in the right place. We don't

134
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: care if the city leaders like us. We just want

135
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: them to utilize better technology and a better message to

136
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: get people off the streets. It's not a hard thing

137
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: to do. Why do we have to wait five years?

138
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: How many people do you help?

139
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 3: So?

140
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: How many people have you helped so far?

141
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: Again, in just two weeks, we've helped nine people now, yeah,

142
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 3: and we've got a few that are in the works

143
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: that we're helping, and we're filming each one. One of

144
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 3: the things that are necessary is that when they get home.

145
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: First of all, we have to talk to the person

146
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: on the other end, the receiving end, who will accept

147
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 3: them at their arrival. And number two, we film them

148
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 3: as they're leaving and they're thanking us, they're crying, they're

149
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: hugging us. And these are people on the streets four

150
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: five months, six months, And when they get home, we

151
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: want evidence that they've gotten home. And some have phones

152
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: that are issued in LA some have Obama phones that

153
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: are good from state to state, and those people are

154
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: calling and they're letting us know they're home. But what

155
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: you said earlier is correct. If you look at the

156
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: people writing a lot of these nonprofits and this kind

157
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: of program that's supposed to be doing what we're doing,

158
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: and you can't get anybody on the phone for two

159
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 3: or three if at all are interconnected. Yeah, I mean

160
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: we still go back to Bill i Allusion's report on

161
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: Sheila Kule's partner accepting a large contract for a needless.

162
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: Hotline numbers none for good. Yeah, I gotta, I gotta

163
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: do the news.

164
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: Thank you John Ally for coming on, Thanks for having

165
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: me and let us know how this is going. In

166
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: the future, we'll talk more about this because I know

167
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: what's going on. John Alley knows what's going on. You

168
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: should know that this is really the truth.

169
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

170
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 4: six forty.

171
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 2: We just had John Alley on. He's the businessman in

172
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: Santa Monica. Santa Monica Coalition is his group, and he's

173
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: got donors who are willing to pay five hundred dollars

174
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: for playing fair or bus fair so that homeless people

175
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: in Santa Monica can go home and be reunited with

176
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: friends and family. So far, they've helped nine people do that.

177
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: This is what can be done. I don't know what

178
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: the percentage is, but I bet you, I bet you,

179
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: we could do better than what's going on now. Because,

180
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: as he said, if you divide the amount of money

181
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: we're spending every year, this is over a billion dollars

182
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: on homelessness, and and you divide that by the number

183
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 2: of homeless, it that they're getting way way more money

184
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 2: than the five hundred bucks that were that John is

185
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: spending to buy a plane or a bus ticket. I

186
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: think if you offer them bribes and you help them

187
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: make connections with friends and family back home, a lot

188
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: of these people would take it. But what would happen?

189
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't know why. The question I've had it's like,

190
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: why do people believe in government?

191
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 1: Why do they believe it? Now?

192
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: I understand why the people in government do because they

193
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: like having control role, and they like stealing the money,

194
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: and they are stealing the homeless money. I wonder when

195
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: people will accept that's what's going on. I mean, the

196
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 2: LA County Board of Supervisors kind of admits it in

197
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: a way because they're disbanding LASA, they're taking over the program.

198
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: What are they saying that all our tax money that

199
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: went to LASA didn't do any good. Well, if it

200
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: didn't do any good, why would that be? It's because

201
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: these were fake programs, fake programs that don't work, and

202
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: they weren't meant to work. I don't know why people

203
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: believe in these programs in these organizations, these agencies.

204
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: Why why do you? Why do you trust it?

205
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 5: Well?

206
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 6: If they don't work, are we going to get our

207
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 6: money back? And what's going to happen with Measure A?

208
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: Uh, Measure A.

209
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: We're still going to be given away a half cent

210
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: every time we buy a dollar's worth of goods in

211
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: La County. It's gonna it's it is good.

212
00:12:58,840 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 1: That tax is.

213
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 2: Forever unless we rescind it.

214
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 7: Why don't we do that?

215
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: I would do that, so would.

216
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: I if I was the dictator. Okay, well and you

217
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: were the assistant dictator, that's what we would do.

218
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 6: Well, let's let's let's get a move on on that.

219
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 6: I mean, why are we spending more tax money on

220
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 6: a program that we know clearly doesn't work?

221
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: Because people, but you and I know what that clearly

222
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: doesn't work. But explain the vote in November majority.

223
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 7: They didn't know.

224
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 6: I think, though, to be fair, a lot of people

225
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 6: that voted yes on Measure A did not know right

226
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 6: the the news didn't come out about all the programs,

227
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 6: all the less programs, right, all the all the negative

228
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 6: talk about them until after.

229
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: They now if if all the TV stations and the

230
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: LA Times, while news agencies consistently reported all the time

231
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: that the money is being stolen because it is, eventually

232
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: that would filter down into people's brains and they'd accept it,

233
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: why is it that most of the journal in town

234
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 2: don't want to investigate and document what they know is true.

235
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: It's being stolen. The nonprofits are fake, the phony, the

236
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: programs are worthless. Obviously, nothing's gotten better, everything's gotten worse.

237
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: This has been going on for well over ten years now.

238
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: So when something doesn't change, when it's clear to your eyes,

239
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: to everybody's eyes, that this is a big rackety, let's.

240
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: Take Channel seven.

241
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: Why doesn't the Channel seven and the Channel five news

242
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: department send some reporters in.

243
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: And blow the lid off this thing?

244
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 6: Because people, when you talk about the homeless situation, and

245
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 6: I've told you this on and off the air, so

246
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 6: many people that I've talked to, they all say, how

247
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 6: can you vote no on something that's gonna help the homeless.

248
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 7: I think not your listeners.

249
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 6: But so many people do not understand that the money

250
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,359
Speaker 6: is not going to the homeless.

251
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 2: Would they see things aren't getting better? The best thing

252
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: you could say is the problems are completely yesterday.

253
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 6: We have the homeless count, right, we're saying that that

254
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 6: the homeless what is.

255
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 7: It four percent?

256
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 6: There's a four percent decline, So people think, aha, that's

257
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 6: a look at this, John, there's fewer.

258
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 7: Homeless people on the streets.

259
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 6: So therefore all the programs that we voted for are helping, so.

260
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: That there's ninety six percent less.

261
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 7: Because it's less, right, there's few that's.

262
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: All still, Yeah, there's billions of dollars. You get a

263
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: reduction of four percent. Probably it's those who died.

264
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 7: It's all spin, you know that.

265
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: But what makes people have faith? I mean, you and

266
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: I can reason this out in a matter of seconds.

267
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: Why can't regular people see that there's a lot of

268
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: thieves and goons and government who steal are stealing money.

269
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: Why don't they want to accept that?

270
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 6: I just think when it comes to the homeless situation,

271
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 6: I just I do I think people really and again

272
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 6: I feel bad.

273
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 7: For people that are homeless. It's not something I like

274
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 7: to see.

275
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: The reason not to trust the government because everything's gotten

276
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: worse under these government programs.

277
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 6: But again, the spin when you have the mayor Bass

278
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 6: and you have people saying that there's four percent fewer

279
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 6: people on the streets and that there's now this is

280
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 6: a trend, right, what was her name, the homeless, the

281
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 6: loss of person.

282
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: The person as Lisa Alicia Adams Callum right, who's on

283
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: her way out and gave her husband's organization.

284
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 7: She said, this is a trend. It's a trend now

285
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 7: that there are fewer people living.

286
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: They don't know, they don't know political people why it's

287
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: it's fascinating.

288
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM

289
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 4: six forty.

290
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: Or on every day from one until four o'clock and

291
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840

Speaker 2: the iHeart app, and you could listen to what you missed.

293
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: You go to the podcast and listen at one thirty

294
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: at one o'clock hour. Because we went through the history

295
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: a short history of Karen Bass's involvement with this radical

296
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 2: left wing communist group back in the nineteen seventies. She

297
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: made eight trips to Cuba. She was absolutely mismesmerized by

298
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: Fidel Castro, and then she made at least eight more

299
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: trips as an adult, so she's been to Cuba sixteen times.

300
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 2: So if you look around and you think Los Angeles

301
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: is a stinkhole, well, Cuba was her inspiration and Castro

302
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: was her political idol.

303
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: True story.

304
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 2: You can look it up online and listen to the

305
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: summary I gave Coming up Well on the podcast the

306
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: one thirty to two o'clock segment Excuse me now, on

307
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: another podcast by Sean Ryan, who's a conservative podcaster, former

308
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: military guy, former CIA worker. He had Gavin Newsom on,

309
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: and did you write to me Eric that this was

310
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: a four hour podcast?

311
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do youavin't Newsom spoke with for four hours? Yeah?

312
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: It was like four hours in like twelve minutes.

313
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: Can you imagine with all the work that needs to

314
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: be done in the Palisades, with there's still seventy two

315
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: thousand homeless people in the streets here, he's got four

316
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: hours to try to make inroads in his presidential run.

317
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: And this is what Sean Ryan asked him about if

318
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 2: he's going to run for president, Listen to this dance.

319
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 5: It seems like you're gearing up for maybe a presidential run.

320
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 5: I mean, you were just in South Carolina, went to

321
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 5: a couple different places there to speak. I mean, are

322
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 5: you gearing up for a twenty twenty eight run? No,

323
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 5: I'm gearing up for twenty sixteen, because from my humble perspective,

324
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 5: I think it's existential if my party's not successful next year.

325
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 5: And that's why I was out there on the stump

326
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 5: nine different events.

327
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: Just make a second. Did he say he's gearing up

328
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: for twenty sixteen. Yeah, that's exactly what he said. Now

329
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: what does that mean? He gets into it?

330
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 3: All? Right?

331
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 5: Continue, And that's why I was out there on the

332
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 5: stump nine different events, just making the case. Don't look

333
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 5: for the guy guy on the white horse to come

334
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 5: save the day in twenty twenty eight. I think it's

335
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 5: the Democrat parties. I'm blown away the Democrats obsession with

336
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 5: just that sort of perfect person that's going to say

337
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 5: you have sort of this John Wayne thing, this romantic

338
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 5: version of that person's going to save the day. Meanwhile,

339
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 5: we're not doing the hard work in between. Twenty twenty

340
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 5: eight is for damn you. I mean, this guy just

341
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 5: got elected in obviously a little over six months, or

342
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 5: about six goddamn months, by the hell, we talked about

343
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 5: twenty twenty eight, and so we.

344
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: Got to grind.

345
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 5: We got it at how you know these house seats?

346
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 5: That's it, man, it's to me. I need a speaker, Jeffries.

347
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 5: People out there love this speaker. Johnson, guy, I don't.

348
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 5: He wants, of course, to tar and feather me. It's

349
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 5: a spiritual term, I imagine and see that. Maybe it's

350
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 5: what is this the Old Testament?

351
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: Not that.

352
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 5: We're just we have different, different points of view and

353
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 5: world vision.

354
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: So you're not gonna run.

355
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 5: I'm not well, I'm avoid I'm gonna run if he

356
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 5: tries to tire feather me. But as it relates to

357
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 5: the presidency, who the hell knows. That's that's fate, that's you.

358
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 5: Do you meet a moment? Are you wasting anyone's time?

359
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: Do you have a why?

360
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 5: That compelling why I have? I would have to sit

361
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: in front of you and feel totally can congruent.

362
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 7: Just like I'm a little confused. I don't understand.

363
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful.

364
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 7: I don't understand the meat a.

365
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: Moment apparently you're not swooning.

366
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 7: I'm not. No, I don't swoon over any policy.

367
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: Are you blacking out? No?

368
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 7: Not, I would never do that over.

369
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: We're going to need to replay on this. This is

370
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot longer than I thought.

371
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: We need a replay on this last line here started

372
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 2: with like a couple of lines before incongruent or whatever

373
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: the hell he said?

374
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 5: Do you meet a moment?

375
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: Do you mean a moment?

376
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 5: Are you wasting anyone's time?

377
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: Do you have a why?

378
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 5: A compelling why? I mean I would have to sit

379
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 5: in front of you and feel totally congruent that I'm

380
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 5: just like, this is the why? Why are you running?

381
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: And just say this is you know? And have that

382
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 5: burning conviction. I'll tell you, the more Trump keeps knowing

383
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 5: what he does, the more compelled I am to think

384
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 5: about it. I've never felt more outrage.

385
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: More anger.

386
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: Towards towards actions and often this individual. Then I make

387
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 5: it it.

388
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: You don't feel any ancher.

389
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: You just want to be president because you're going to

390
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: be out of work in a year and a half.

391
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: Could you imagine listening to four hours of that four hours?

392
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 8: How much did you listen to like ten minutes. I

393
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 8: did not listen all four hours. I was finding cuts

394
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 8: on Twitter and then finding finding the context in the

395
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 8: original video.

396
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: I was hoping, you've gone through enough. Nobody has to

397
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: do four hours of Kevin Newsom.

398
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: Well.

399
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 8: I was planning on going through all of it, and

400
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 8: then I saw it was four hours, and I was like,

401
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 8: I'll find the clips.

402
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: There's nobody who's that interesting for four hours?

403
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yay.

404
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 6: But he met the moment because he said the more

405
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 6: you know, he doesn't like what Trump does or I'm parapree.

406
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 2: I know, but Trumps.

407
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: He's not running against Trump in four years.

408
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 7: I know, but he's but this is the moment, apparently,

409
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 7: and he.

410
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: Needs to be congruent and he needs a why.

411
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 7: Well, the why is he wants to the United States? Why?

412
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 7: Why does anybody run for press?

413
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: Like a Wheel of Fortune contestant, I need a why?

414
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: I need a why. You can buy a walk No,

415
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: you can't buy a why?

416
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 1: Right?

417
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 5: Why?

418
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 1: It's not a vowel? All right? That was head spinning.

419
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: I'm naucious. Let's play a cut.

420
00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: Number two. Newsomb really gets cool here. He starts cursing.

421
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 5: Those are our guys that were out there, you know,

422
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 5: out there at every single intersection during the fires. These

423
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 5: guys were exhausted, and now they're being told to mask up.

424
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 5: I mean they were, there was no masks. I told you.

425
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 5: They're getting selfies out there where they're beloved in Santa Monica. Now, man,

426
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 5: all that reputational damage it's being done as they're sitting

427
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 5: there on horses with American flags, running through soccer fields,

428
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 5: scaring kids that are playing soccer in the middle of

429
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 5: the day in a summer camp. For what just toughness.

430
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 5: It's weakness masquerading his strength.

431
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: That's what I don't like.

432
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 5: About the son of them. I don't And forgive me.

433
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: I know he's the President of the States. Forgive me.

434
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 5: I didn't you know, I forgive me. He calls me

435
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 5: new scum? You know, Come on, how to explain that

436
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 5: to my kid? Now he's got I have my kids

437
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 5: friends calling my kid's new scum. That I get because

00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 5: I was called that in seventh grade, But not my

439
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 5: seventy nine year old model better God behavior, Man, forgive the.

440
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 2: Donee Trump to model of behavior.

441
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: Why these cars are left and right?

442
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: You know sometimes the kids on the playground, they're right,

443
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: they're they're They're perceptive. They know when when one of

444
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 2: the kids is a loser, when one kid is a wiener,

445
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 2: you know that the wiener kids they were up to

446
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: be winner adults. That's why they're taunted on the playground.

447
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: That's mean.

448
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,639

Speaker 7: That it's so.

00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 2: you know, when they're like ten years old or dead on.

452
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 7: You know, people used to.

453
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 6: Make fun of me when I was when I was

454
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 6: a little debbie because I was so short.

455
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: And were they wrong?

456
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 7: No, But but they were so mean. I wasn't mean.

457
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't what did they call you that?

458

Speaker 6: But p can be mean, and I mean, the only

463
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 6: thing I can say that I do understand what he's

464
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 6: saying is I feel bad that his kids are being

465
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 6: called new scum because kids can be really really mean.

466
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: You got it tough enough, you do, yeah, but.

467
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 7: You know you have kids. If one of your kids

468
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 7: came home and.

469
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: You know, and I never I would tell him that

470
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: story of the world.

471
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 7: Is did you say you are scum?

472
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 2: John? God knows what kids said about me to them.

473
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 2: I never asked.

474
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 4: You're listening to John cobbelts on demand from KFI Am sixty.

475
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 2: Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio ass radio app.

476
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 7: Wait what what was that?

477
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: Something wrong with me? At John Cobelt Radio? On social media?

478
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: Is how you follow us at John Cobelt Radio. Less

479
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: than seven hundred followers needed to hit thirty thousand the

480
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: iHeart Radio ass. I had no idea what that means.

481
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what's on my mind. Probably shouldn't.

482
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: Why.

483
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: Sean Ryan is a conservative podcast host a former military

484
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 2: guy CIA Guy. He interviewed Gavin Newsom for four hours.

485
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 2: I will not be listening to this for four hours.

486
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 2: I'm grateful that Eric took a few minutes to get

487
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: some of the highlights. Uh, he's done a lot of cursing,

488
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 2: you know, Newsom. It's such an affectation when he curses.

489
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 2: And I can only imagine he's doing it because his

490
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: The research shows everybody thinks he's a spoiled rich kid,

491
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 2: and and so he's trying to be a regular guy,

492
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: trying to be down to earth. So now he's he's

493
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: swearing all the time.

494
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 7: Well maybe the women that swoon they find out sexy.

495
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, they want to be talked dirty too, like.

496
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 2: All right, anyway, Ryan asks Newsome, is eight years old

497
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: too young for what they call gender affirming surgery? Gender

498
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 2: affirming surgery, that is one of those most absurd phrases.

499
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: That's when they chop the genitals off a little boy. Okay,

500
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: and they called gender affirming. Listen to Newsom's answer. This

501
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 2: is lengthy and it's hard to follow. So let's go

502
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 2: on the ride together.

503
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 5: What about for your values? I mean, is eight years

504
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 5: old too young?

505
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

506
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I now that I have a nine

507
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 5: year old just became nine. Come on, man, I get it.

508
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 5: So those are the j's. It's interesting, just the issue

509
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 5: of age. I haven't as stop stop stop.

510
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 2: Ryan brings up the idea, you know, an eight year

511
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 2: old chopping off their genitals is all early. And come on, oh, man,

512
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 2: I get it. I have a nine year old. I

513
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:09,239
Speaker 2: wouldn't wanted generals chopped off. No, no, no, it's not

514
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 2: that it's gender affirming surgery. Use the proper woke terminology,

515
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: all right, play some more.

516
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 5: Come on, man, I get it. So those are legit.

517
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting just the issue of age. I

518
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 5: haven't as I am there's someone that's been so focused

519
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 5: on equality broadly LGBT rights, particularly gay marriage. The trans

520
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 5: issue for me is also novels. It's over the last

521
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 5: few years, I'm trying to understand as much as anyone else,

522
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: whole pronoun thing. Trying to understand all of that. Well,

523
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 5: you know that was like help me all that stuff,

524
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 5: I get it. This all this stuff started to collapse

525
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 5: on us. I joked with Charlie about latin X. You know,

526
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 5: I remember walking into my staff used I started using

527
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 5: the word LATINX a few times, and then my chief

528
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 5: of staff, who happens to be Hispanic, goes, would you

529
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 5: shut up? I'm like, what, she goes, who uses that word?

530
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know.

531
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 5: She said, staff said, do not ever use that word toget.

532
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 5: I'm like, what's going on. I was like, okay, literally

533
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 5: society literally style I'll never forget. I was like, whoa

534
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 5: we were to this is sort of zoom conversation, and

535
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 5: she got me. Literally My Hispanic team of staff's like

536
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 5: shut up, and so I'm like we were all kind

537
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 5: of like I never I mean those meetings were my

538
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 5: pronouns and everyone goes across. This all this was sort

539
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 5: of I think post George Floyd.

540
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: Yah, we stopped a second.

541
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 2: He actually they had meetings Newsom's office and everybody stand up.

542
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: Everybody stood up and went through their pronouns. This is

543
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: what was going on in Newsom's office, the staff's standing

544
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: up and going through all the pronoun variations, all the

545
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 2: combinations possible.

546
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: By the way, he sounds stoned, He absolutely.

547
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 7: Talking very fast. Is some of the words are slurred.

548
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: So I mean, is this what gummies do?

549
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 6: I mean, when I take a gummy, I usually go

550
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 6: to bed because I don't really talk.

551
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: Some more.

552
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 5: I never I mean those meetings where my pronouns and

553
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 5: everyone goes across this is all. This was sort of

554
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 5: I think, post George Floyd, post COVID, we kind of

555
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 5: came out and there was obviously this rights movement post

556
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 5: George Floyd, which you got to understand, I mean, on

557
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 5: the basis of what occurred and all the social unrest,

558
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 5: and there was a natural inclination then to try to

559
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 5: course correct. But it was across the spectrum of issues,

560
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 5: including increasingly on the issues.

561
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: How we talk talking about politically.

562
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 5: Correct and sensitive people started becoming use of language pronouns.

563
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 5: And then issues around the trans community and study and

564
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 5: this notion of gender affirming care for children. That's tough

565
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 5: man in science on that. You know, I'm trying. I

566
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 5: have men't dove that deep into it, but you know

567
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 5: I read one report.

568
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, wait, do you have to dive deep

569
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 2: into it? You're talking about cutting off the genitals of

570
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: an eight year old? What bore do you need to know?

571
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: What kind of science? What kind of research? Okay, you

572
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 2: got an eight year old boy. He suddenly decides maybe

573
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm a girl. Daddy, Okay, we're going to take you

574
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 2: to the hospital. Okay, oh god, now you're a girl.

575
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: What the hell is wrong with him? What's wrong with everybody?

576
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: You know what they found out most of the people

577
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: who were confessed, most of the young kids who may

578
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: have wondered if they're really a boy or a girl

579
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: if you waited until they went through puberty, it turned

580
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: out most of them were gay. Some of them were

581
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 2: not gay, they were just being kids. Very very few

582
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 2: of them were actually trans. It was a complete hysterical oaks.

583
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 2: It was nonsense. Everything that made no sense back then

584
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: just maybe five years ago, it made no sense because

585
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: it was nonsense, it was idiocy, it was a hysteria.

586
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: It's like a social contagion. Keep playing this and in.

587
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 5: The science on that, I you know, I'm trying, I

588
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 5: mean't go that deep into it, but you know, I

589
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 5: read one raport and then there's one that's slightly contradictory,

590
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 5: and then they said, there's no contradictory. Here's what the

591
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 5: UK just came out with. You're full of it's absolutely

592
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 5: scientifically sound that it's outrageous, you know, And so it's

593
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 5: it's intense. And then I meet with families, literally meet

594
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 5: with families. Saved my child, child's life, and.

595
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: They're thriving, right, And he should be in charge of

596
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: those decisions because he is so intelligent and sharp and coherent.

597
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: What a babbling idiot that is presidential material. There got

598

Speaker 2: more coming up. Exhausted today, Deborah Mark Live in the
