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

Speaker 1: always have the podcast ready to fill any downtime, any

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: lull in your life. We've got Michael Rushford coming on here.

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 1: He's been on with us frequently over the years. He's

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: the founder and president of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation.

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 3: Prop.

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Thirty six pasted in November. You remember that it was

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, Theft Reduction Act. It was designed

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: to repeal to a large extent.

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: Prop.

17
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Forty seven make theft a crime again, make public drug

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: use a crime again, and also for the first time,

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: create some serious fentinyl felonies. One of the provisions of

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: the drug addiction clause was you wouldn't necessarily go to

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: jail or prison. You'd have a chance if a judge

22
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: decided to send you to treatment right when you go

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: down the treatment track instead of the prison track, Well,

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: the state has to fund the treatment, and.

25
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: They don't.

26
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: They're not doing that, and they're also not spending any

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: money from more county jail space. And Newsom in the

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: legislature want to undermine Prop thirty six. I guess to say, Haha,

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: it didn't work, and they all want it to work.

30
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: So let's talk to Michael Rushford. Michael, how are you.

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: I'm good, John, it's good to talk to you.

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: So I guess this was the plan all along.

33
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: Once they realized that Prop thirty six was going to

34
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: make the ballot and win big, their plan B was well,

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: we won't fund it.

36
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is not unusual. And the legislature in this

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: configuration where it's overwhelmingly Democrats, and they're very progressive Democrats.

38
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: When a bill comes down at least in the crime

39
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: area as far as you know, which is where we are,

40
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: when the public goes out and says we're tired of

41
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: waiting a round for you to deal with this problem

42
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 3: and passes an initiative to fix it, the legislature has

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 3: for some time taken the position that they just won't

44
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 3: fund it and they'll starve it to death. And as

45
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: I wrote in the California Globe the other day. They

46
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: did the same thing with the three Strikes initiative years

47
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: ago in nineteen ninety four. As soon as it passed,

48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 3: we all knew it was going to put more criminals

49
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 3: in jail. That was why the voters voted for it.

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: So the state just didn't fund any more prison span

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: and waited until somebody sued with the ACLU and the

52
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: court ordered thirty five thousand prisoners to be released from

53
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 3: state prison. So it completely undermined the whole purpose of

54
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: three strikes. And they did the same thing back in

55
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen or twenty sixteen when Prop. Sixty six passed.

56
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: We helped write that thing to speed up the death penalty,

57
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: and there are several provisions in there to take away

58
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: all the bureaucratic and judge created obstacles to getting these

59
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: cases resolved. The legislature decided they were opposed to it,

60
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: so they just decided, we won't fund it, and you

61
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: needed to appoint more judges, you need to do do

62
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: several things to make this work. They just didn't fund it,

63
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: so that initiative sits on the shelf right now. And

64
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure the people who voted for it are going,

65
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: wait a minute, we passed this thing. It's supposed to work,

66
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: and what's happening. It's not working. And now we'll see

67
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: the same thing with Prop thirty six and a couple

68
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 3: of years, people will go it didn't solve the problem. Now,

69
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: counties can do a few things. LA County and some

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: larger counties with bigger budgets can maybe find places to

71
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: put these thieves that they're going to arrest that actually

72
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 3: have a sentence that comes along with that. Maybe they won't,

73
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 3: but they're gonna if they use the same jail system

74
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: they're using now in LA they're gonna have to kick

75
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: some guys out to put the new guys in. So

76
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: it doesn't really solve the problem if we don't have

77
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 3: the space. And that's the state's job is to step

78
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: up and help.

79
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 2: And there's nothing that voters.

80
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: Is there an organization that can sue on behalf of

81
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: the voters and force the state to set up treatment

82
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: programs and build the jail space.

83
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: It's almost impossible to sue the state, and so the

84
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: and again, the courts, we've got thirty years of courts

85
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 3: appointed by people like Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, and

86
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 3: these judges don't go along with the law if they.

87
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: Don't feel like it mistakes and they win.

88
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 3: Well. The ACLU that most of the judges that are

89
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: appointed by a newsom in Brown, which is a hell

90
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 3: of a lot of judges in this state, like the ACLU,

91
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 3: they're going to go along with them. And the Supreme

92
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 3: Court we have in California right now is very much

93
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: from that side of the fence. They're very much on.

94
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 3: So your shot at getting this stuff resolved in court

95
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: is pretty low. You could go into the federal courts

96
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: and you'd have a little bit better shot, but not much.

97
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: So it's really up to the voters who spoke pretty

98
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 3: loudly last November, we want to see the crime issue

99
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: dealt with in our state. Well, the people that you

100
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: elect to the Senate and the Assembly here in California

101
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: and who you put in the governor's office makes a

102
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: hell of a lot of difference as to whether or

103
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: not these laws will be enforced. And it's time to

104
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 3: start looking at your local assemblymen and finding out how

105
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: they're voting on this stuff and what kind of builds

106
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 3: their It's very important. It's going to have to go

107
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: down to the grassroots. Prop thirty six certainly reached the grassroots.

108
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: A lot of Democrats voted for that, So why isn't

109
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: the Democrat controlled legislature and the governor's office interested in

110
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: forcing it. It's just not they're just not interested.

111
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: They're not normal Democrats. They're progressives, and that's like some

112
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: strange religious cult.

113
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 3: Correct. Correct, And that's the key here. Your standard Pat

114
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: Brown John F. Kennedy Democrat shouldn't be able to even

115
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: recognize these people. They spend all day every day when

116
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: they're in session, passing bills that most Californians don't care

117
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 3: about it at all. Most Californias did not vote for

118
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: SB fifty four to legalize illegal immigration in California. Most Californians,

119
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 3: almost all Californias, did not vote to make our state

120
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: of sanctuary state. The legislature did it. So you know,

121
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: when you have these kinds of things happening, and it's

122
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 3: people that you send to Sacramento, maybe time to start

123
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: looking at who you're sending well.

124
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: Because we're blown over ten billion dollars on illegal alien

125
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: healthcare in the state exactly, but we don't have any

126
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: money for jails and for drug treatment of these addicts.

127
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: Precisely, and that's the problem. LA did something brilliant lest

128
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: last November. They kicked out George Gascone and put in

129
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: a tough prosecutor, Nathan Hakman. But Hawkman has to work

130
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: under the same laws as everybody every other DA in

131
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: the state of California. And if you look at who

132
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: gets bail. I just looked at the La County bail schedule.

133
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,239
Speaker 3: Most of these people are going to be released without bail,

134
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 3: no matter how tough Nathan Hawkman is. Most of them

135
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: we're going to go. Now. The good news is if

136
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: it's a violent crime, the DA can do something about it,

137
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: and that will be a big difference from gascon. Somebody

138
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 3: smacks you on the face down on Wilshire some afternoon

139
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 3: while you're coming out from lunch. That guy may go

140
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: away for a while. But the theft related crime, even

141
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: stealing cars, you don't get bailed. You can steal Mercedes

142
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: every day for a month and you're going to be

143
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: back on the street the next day. And that's a problem.

144
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: And that's because of several laws through the Brown and

145
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: Newsom administrations passed by the legislature that decriminalize these things

146
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 3: and eliminated bail for them. Another ballot measure doesn't make

147
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: sense to me because we have to replace the people

148
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: that are obligated to enforce these laws, and that's the

149
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: legislature and the governor.

150
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: But they have really unraveled the whole system.

151
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, go ahead.

152
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 2: No, no, you go ahead.

153
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: Well, it looks we're a microcosm of what we're seeing nationally,

154
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 3: where you get a single federal judge in San Francisco

155
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: shutting down a policy implemented by the president nationally because

156
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: he doesn't like it, and he can get away with

157
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: it in Sacramento, and they put enough judges on the

158
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: benches around the state to where you've got individual superior

159
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: court judges that are willing to do that, and so

160
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 3: you can't go battle in We're a court outfit. I mean,

161
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: we love opportunities to get into court and take these

162
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: laws down or strengthen the ones that are enforced, But

163
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: in front of judges in California, we've got a real

164
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 3: high hill to climb. We've got to change the politicians.

165
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: We really have to do that, and I don't want

166
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: to wait around for ten years when we've got this

167
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: crime on the street and you've got some good das

168
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: that replace the bad ones trying to do their job.

169
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: Michael, thank you for coming on. Michael Rushford.

170
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: He's the founder and president of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation.

171
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: Thank you, really, thank you.

172
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: John all Right.

173
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's I don't know what to do. Every

174
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: day we present you with what's really going on. The

175
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: real truth, and the real truth is is the legislature

176
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: and Newsome do everything to undermine what you want. Vast

177
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: majority of Californians want theft to be illegal, drug addiction

178
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: public drug used to be illegal. They want treatment for

179
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: the drug addicts. They want to f no crimes treated

180
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: as felonies. That's what Prop thirty six does, and then

181
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: the legislature and Newsome undermine it by not funding for

182
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: more jail space for the counties, not funding drug treatment programs.

183
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: They're just they're terrible people. The progressives are terrible. They're

184
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: very destructive, and people have got to stop voting for them.

185
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 2: I mean, it's.

186
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: Clear you can use your own eyes and see how

187
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: much the state and the city has degraded over the

188
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: last ten to fifteen years. When we come back round

189
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 1: one of the voice line, we are going to have

190
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: two rounds and we're going to have hacking a dumpster

191
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: coming up at about three thirty five, and we got

192
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: a good one. I'll give you a hint. She's got

193
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,280

00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,040

00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to hear from you.

201
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 5: To bat time.

202
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 3: Everyone talks about Elon Musk how much money he has.

203
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: Nobody talks about Bill.

204
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 5: Gates and what he's done.

205
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: He's bought up all the farm lands.

206
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 5: There's got to be something going on there as criminal.

207
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: Finally, someone like David Carter is looking into this problem.

208
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 3: But it's not Karen Bass's fault. She wasn't aware that

209
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 3: she had to show up to the courtroom.

210
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: She didn't know, just like she didn't know.

211
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 3: She wasn't aware of the fire and weather warning.

212
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 6: Hey, Gavin, while back, you agree with Charlie Kirk about

213
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 6: the unfairness of biological men competing against women in sports.

214
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 6: A few days ago, a Republican bill was submitted on

215
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 6: the Assembly floor and the Democrat went totally against it.

216
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 6: On this you were basically silent, only commenting, well, we're

217
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 6: working on it.

218
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: Well, worked a.

219
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 6: Little harder when bag in the end, you still remain

00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 6: the serpent in the garden of Eden.

221
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 7: It's an increase on the county terriffs and everything you buy.

222
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 5: What exactly does that mean?

223
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: A homeless tax?

224
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 8: I've never heard of that before in my life.

225
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 9: The crime they committed is they entered the United States illegally.

226
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 10: Instead of our money going to homelessness, why doesn't it

227
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 10: go to hospitals for children and a pretensor for different

228
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 10: diseases like that, to help better our future.

229
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 11: Corey Bookers sitting talking on the floor for hours just

230
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 11: to make a point, get some pressed and cover up

231
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 11: that his lead security guy just got busted for bringing

232
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 11: a gun into the capital.

233
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 4: Shut them up.

234
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 12: You better forget about the little sail text. During California,

235
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 12: you'd rarely be thinking national because everything you fucking buy

236
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 12: with the White House fell up with what it is

237
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 12: right now, it's going to break here and I hope

238
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 12: it does to who voted for it.

239
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 13: Nobody voted for a Homeless Increase Tact. Besides the homeless

240
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 13: an illegal, No one wants to pay more at legging.

241
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 11: I was in a Rhode Island and gas was two

243
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 14: Airport, where it's supposed to be a little bit more expensive,

244
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 14: it was still two ninety nine. Ridiculous.

245
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 2: What in the hell is going on in la.

246
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 15: Who is in charge of loss of that put her.

00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 16: Are you kidding me?

250
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 10: Oh my John?

251
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: Why aren't more people talking about this?

252
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 9: Politicians will always need more money. Even if we threw

253
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 9: all of our money into these main problems homelessness, housing, healthcare, schooling,

254
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 9: and immigration, and we solved all the problems the next year,

255
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 9: they wouldn't need more money. But they're always going to

256
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 9: need more money solving problems this year with whatever money

257
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,880

00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 3: That's why that thing ripped.

263
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 13: Through there, not only to win and everything else. My goodness, man,

264
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,240

Speaker 3: I mean, what's going on?

00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 13: Drug abusers and criminals getting more money and attention than.

283
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: People who chose to serve and protect the country we

Speaker 6: Come?

287
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: Why can't they just set up a whole new category

288
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 3: just for them so there'll be three groups of pathletes.

289

Speaker 11: Please hang up. Goodbye.

291
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: Progressive politicians control California.

292
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: There's three constituencies they serve.

293
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: It's criminals, it's illegal aliens, and it's drug addicted and

294
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: mentally ill homeless people. It's the only three categories they

295
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: care about. You are just supposed to shut up and pay.

296
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: You got that when we come back. Speaking of the homeless,

297
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: this is a tremendous disaster, and we are going to

298
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: throw one of the architects of the disaster into the

299
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: dumpster coming up.

300
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: You'll enjoy it. They deserve it.

301
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.

302
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: It's time for John cobil to throw in a dumpster.

303
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: Ready to go.

304
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Even through three years of war, the Ukrainians are still

305
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: always here on any Friday. We decided to throw a

306
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: hack in a dumpster, as we've been doing for many

307
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: years now. The idea if you weren't with us at

308
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: the beginning, came from the Ukrainians before they got messed

309
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: up by the Russians. They were they would turn on

310
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: their local politicians and there was one politician I remember.

311
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: He was wearing a suit, a blue suit, and they

312
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: considered him too pro Russian, and they lifted this guy up,

313
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: true story, lifted the guy up and tossed him into

314
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: the dumpster. And week kenned and I saw that and said,

315
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: that's what we've got to do. We've got to toss

316
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: these people into the dumpster. So when we find a

317
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: good candidate, we don't do it every week. Sometimes we

318
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: don't do it for a month. It's got to be

319
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: a special candidate, not just anyone. And we have a

320
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: special one here. Because if you've been keeping up on

321
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: the news, you don't know why we're doing this. If

322
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: you haven't, give you a quick summary the homeless. The

323
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: homeless bureaucracy in Los Angeles County is a total scam.

324
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: It's a criminal money laundering operation. That's how I see it.

325
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: And you just have to add up a few pieces

326
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: of evidence, one line at a time. Number One, two

327
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: audits have been done and both of them have found

328
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: that large amounts of money are unaccounted for.

329
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 2: Two audits.

330
00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: The latest audit from the federal judge David Carter, produced

331
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: this fascinating nugget. Two and a half billion dollars unaccounted for.

332
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: Two and a half billion dollars unaccounted for. According to

333
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: this audit, and we found this out about the same

334
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 1: time that the new homeless sales tax went into effect.

335
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: There's now a half cent homeless sales tax. You're paying

336
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: for a system that lost track of two and a

337
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: half billion dollars. They're also is Judge Carter is threatening

338
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: to blow the whole system up. He doesn't want to,

339
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what he's going to replace it with.

340
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of pressure. And it all centers

341
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: around the LA Housing Services Authority LASA LAHSA, which is

342
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: notorious over the last ten years as being a cesspool

343
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: of waste, corruption, abuse.

344
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example.

345
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: We also found out recently that the head of LASA

346
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: a woman with four names, Alicia Adams Kellum. She's got

347
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: two first names. What do they call her Va or

348
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: va Alicia or Lisia and then you've got Adams Kellum.

349
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 1: So this this four named monster, actually gave away two

350
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: million dollars to her husband's nonprofit homeless nonprofit of course,

351
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: so she's running the loss of agency. She's in charge

352
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: of sending the money out to these worthless nonprofits. And

353
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: look at that her husband got two million dollars out

354
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: of it. Her husband's nonprofit got it, so the judge

355
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: wants to blow everything up. There's two million dollars went

356
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: from wife to husband. Here two aughtits say that there's

357
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: billions of dollars that have gone unaccounted for. And now

358
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: this week the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and

359
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: that is a collection of duds. Let me tell you,

360
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: they've been watching this disaster for years and they haven't

361
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: cared because it's not their money. But finally they realize

362
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: they're going to be in trouble, especially with this judge

363
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: running rampant. So they held a hearing and they voted

364
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 1: to basically defund Lawson. The county is going to take

365
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: it over. No more county money for LASA. The city

366
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: still wants to give money because I suspect the city

367
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: councilmen are in on the scam. I suspect that a

368
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: number of city councilmen have friends and relatives who are

369
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: earning money through their nonprofits, and so they want LAS

370
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: fully funded, right because they have a nice side income.

371
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: Because some of them went to the LA County Supervisors

372
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: meeting begging them not to withdraw.

373
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: Hey, that's our money. What do you mean.

374
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: It's gotten to the point where I think a lot

375
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: of Vlicia Adams Kellum. I think a lot of people

376
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: are looking at her funny. Because the La County Board

377
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: of Supervisors did not give her a formal speaking role.

378
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: At the hearing in which they defunded the agency, she

379
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: had to stand in line with all the riff raft

380
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: citizenry and she was given sixty seconds. She went over time,

381
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 1: they gave her another thirty and then they had to

382
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: cut her off. We've spliced together her sixty and her

383
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: thirty second comments. Listen to the end where she explains

384
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: her background what qualified her to be head of LASA.

385
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 10: I am the CEO of LASA, and there's been a

386
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 10: lot of negative things said about LASA today. As was

387
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 10: said in the motion when it first released, it indicated

388
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 10: that much of the look back audits did not cover

389
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 10: the time of my leadership. But when I came on

390
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 10: and I met with each of you, I took on

391
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 10: the responsibility of the many years twenty plus years of

392
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 10: system failure, particularly.

393
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: At LASA twenty plus.

394
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 10: But I made promises. One would be a reduction in

395
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 10: unsheltered homelessness, which we've seen now two years in a row.

396
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 10: To enhance transparency. I promised that we would improve our

397
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 10: operations and we have. We've implemented twenty new data dashboards

398
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 10: that provide unprecedented insight into how our system functions. The

399
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 10: questions you had about functions and system improvements. We can

400
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 10: actually provide that data to you today and it is

401
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 10: on our public website and it's public facing. To improve

402
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 10: our contracting, we're at eighty percent. To improve provider payments,

403
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 10: we worked with all of you to ensure that we

404
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 10: would have advanced systems where we would reconcile and providers

405
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 10: no longer waiting months and months. We've made a lot

406
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 10: of the changes that you proposed, and the oversight and

407
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 10: KPIs we have helped make available to EKRA is made

408
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 10: possible by the tremendous people that joined me at LASA

409
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 10: just a year ago. As I said before, this work

410
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 10: is very personal to me. Me and my daughter's experienced homelessness.

411
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,880
Speaker 2: Oh there we go, and then they cut her off

412
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: and she's still shouting.

413
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: There, but they cut off her microphone after she announced

414
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: that she was homeless. Well, when you hire a homeless

415
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: person to run a homeless agency, what do you think

416
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: is going to happen?

417
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: It's a disaster. I think it's time we get the

418
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 2: Ukrainians in here. And there's been a lot of I

419
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 2: think we've heard enough of this later all right, Ukrainians

420
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: left her out. Get the least.

421
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 10: It indicated that much of the look back audience did

422
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 10: not cover the time of my leadership.

423
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: Debra always gives the final blow.

424
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: There the big raspberry waits. She's still talking in the dumpster. There,

425
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: still talking only in Los Angeles County? Would they hire

426
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: a homeless person to run a homeless agency? And then

427
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: everybody wonders why the thing is bankrupt? Two and a

428
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: half billion dollars is missing? What did you think was

429
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna happen? Why don't you hire convicted murderers to run

430
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: the prison system? Or wouldn't be surprised if that's what's

431
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: going on? You believe this two and a half billion

432
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: extra homeless tax, They defund the homeless agency, They won't

433
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: even let this lady give a speech about it, and

434
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: then you find out that she was homeless. I mean,

435
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: it's just so absurd. I hope the judge blows everything up.

436
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: Why don't they just stop? Why don't they return all

437
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: the tax money? Repeal the taxes and just stop. And

438
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: when you see a homeless person on the street, two words,

439
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: get out. We'll give you a ride. Get out of

440
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: the county, get out of the city. Because they can't

441
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: fix it, they don't want to fix it. They are

442
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: looting the system. They're looting the system. Politically connected nonprofits

443
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: are looting the system out.

444
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: How the hell else do you lose two and.

445
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: A half billion. When's everybody going to wake up? It's

446
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: a it's a criminal operation.

447
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: Whole thing.

448
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: Out, everybody out. Failed progressive experiment. A year from now.

449
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: It'll still be a failed progressive experiment two years from now,

450
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: three years from now, unless people start electing differently. I mean,

451
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: you're paying you're paying almost a ten percent sales tax.

452
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: Some towns are paying eleven percent.

453
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 2: What's what's wrong with you? What's wrong with people? And gas?

454
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: By the way, in California today, the average is four

455
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: dollars and ninety four cents for ninety four. And let's

456
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: see in Mississippi two seventy five. How about that two

457
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: dollars and twenty cents difference. And let's see New Jersey

458
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: three oh five, Massachusetts is two ninety nine.

459
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: Texas is two eighty seven.

460
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: We are at four ninety four because that is another

461
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: criminal operation. The state is taking that tax money and

462
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: it is fun to get to green energy nonprofits. Nonsense

463
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: like that. The whole state is made up of these

464
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: agencies and these nonprofits that are looting billions of dollars

465
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: and they're getting wealthy.

466
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: When we come back round two of the Moistline.

467
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:42,399

00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to hear from you.

00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 2: To about time.

474
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 11: Most of the people that report there in poverty are

475
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 11: not living up systems.

476
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 2: You know that they're.

477
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 8: Still getting money on the side.

478
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 2: They're fine, and.

479
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 6: They're going to keep going that way because they get.

480
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 11: Free money and it's going to keep continuing to benefit

481
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 11: all of the people that want to just use the system.

482
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 7: A message for the La County Board of Supervisors. So

483
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 7: there's lots of thing. You're going to terminate it, you're

484
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 7: going to start.

485
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 5: Your own bureau.

486
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 7: But yet you're going to hire people from that that've

487
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 7: lost accountability of millions and millions of dollars and you

488
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 7: think they're going to be reliable to do it again. Uh,

489
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 7: that's not the way it should go. You have to

490
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 7: reconfigure that. That's not going to happen. It's going to

491
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 7: happen all over again.

492
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 15: John, you are right on the money.

493
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 8: It's a bunch of losers. They give presentations of everything

494
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 8: they do, but when it comes to delivering the services,

495
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 8: they do not come through with them.

496
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: Never.

497
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 5: Never.

498
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 13: I was just thinking that maybe something that homeless money

499
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 13: should go to the fire department because of how much

500
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 13: time is them putting out the fires started by the

501
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 13: homeless and dealing with medical issues with the homeless. I

502
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 13: think that'd be a good way to boost a part

503
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 13: apartment budget a little bit to increase their manpower.

504
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 7: Best part about this whole deal and all these people

505
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 7: coming out writing these books on Biden.

506
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: That's how stupid he makes.

507
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 4: Gavinism was calling Joe Biden the masterclass.

508
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 11: Yeah right, she knew her husband was not capable of

509
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 11: running for presidency and let him do this. She should

510
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 11: be shamed and everyone should know this about her.

511
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm a killer, so million dollars to her husband foundation

512
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: or whatever the atacity I tell you.

513
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 17: I know I'm not the first to come up with

514
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 17: this theory, but you got to wonder how much of

515
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 17: her homeless crisis over the last ten years. There's a

516
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 17: slow whittling result of so many jobs getting shipped overseas,

517
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 17: and a lot of people don't have jobs and they

518
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 17: just drift off.

519
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 15: They will never be a deep sake of Gavin Newsom.

520
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: I cannot generally the gibberish that stills.

521
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: Out of his mouth.

522
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: Nice to see California and Harry on the DEI nonsense.

523
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 5: For governor. We have a choice of Javier Barcaria and

524
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 5: Camel Harris. He was the worst Health and Human Services

525
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 5: director in history, and she was the worst DP in history.

526
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?

527
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: Holy?

528
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom's word salad is almost as bad as Kamala's. Man.

529
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: That was painful.

530
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 16: The we that gave away all these jobs are the

531
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 16: wealthy corporations that found the chief labor overseas much more

532
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 16: profitable to them and to be sent spread over the

533
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 16: American worker.

534
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 2: That's who the we are.

535
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, the new sales tax and getting rid a loss

536
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 8: of Karon dash is running around and saying more money,

537
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 8: more money, more money, money for her.

538
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 14: So I like the way Trump has lowered the price

539
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 14: of only eggs and everything else is going up with

540
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 14: all these mediotic harems. Kind of a businessman would do that.

541
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 14: Do you know how long it would take our country

542
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 14: to be able to make a manufacturing place again for

543
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 14: cars and stuff? It would cost us too much.

544
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 17: We have unions.

545
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,400

Speaker 18: if he breaks Wayne Gretzky's goalscoring record, is that right? Yeah,

Speaker 18: all have to pay out now because of these a

565
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 18: holes gonna I don't know what where the light is

566
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 18: at the end of the tunnel here there is done. Yeah,

567
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 18: there is no light, but at least we're all going

568
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 18: down together. They're borrowing money that they can't pay back

569
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 18: till twenty fifty one. That's the first time I've seen

570
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 18: that year in print, twenty fifty one. And I've never

571
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 18: seen a lawyer saying we had to back off so

572
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 18: we wouldn't bankrupt the county. It's true they could have

573
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 18: gotten eight billion. Yeah, and they had to back down.

574
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, the attorneys took it easy on the county, right,

575
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: But that's who's running this as whole.

576
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: You know, people like that and nobody gets pissed.

577
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 17: You know.

578
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: The will the supervisors resign over this? Probably not.

579
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: They should have resilted it's forty years worth of supervisors

580
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: allowed this to go on, and they never should have

581
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: made this deal.

582
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: No, you're right.

583
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean this set of supervisors to sign off on

584
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: a four billion dollar deal.

585
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: We don't have the money. Doesn't it exist?

586
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 5: Right?

587
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 18: And where was the LA Times and the press and everybody?

588
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: You know, nobody.

589
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: I looking into all the seven thousand kids get sexually attacked.

590
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 18: Nobody knew, and nobody in LA knew. Yeah, I find

591
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 18: that hard to believe. It's impossible. Yeah, some light for
