1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Can't.

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

Speaker 3: you can listen to what you missed. And one of

7
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 3: the things that we had on earlier, I think it

8
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 3: was at one point thirty you'll find it in hour

9
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: number one on the podcast is we talked to a

10
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 3: woman who lives in the Santa Monica area who is

11
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 3: giving friends a little walking tour of the neighborhood. And

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: the family had a little six year old and they're

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 3: right on the border Santa Monica and Venice. They walk

14
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: past a bus bench and some psychotic homeless guy whacks

15
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 3: the little six year old girl in the head knocks

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 3: her to the ground. Now, she's apparently okay, but the friend, Christina,

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: tells the story of what happened on the air and

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: she's pretty frustrated with the La County government, Santa Monica government,

19
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: for allowing these psychotics to wander freely in Santa Monica.

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: And you know, it's it's everywhere. Todd Spitzer though says

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 3: not here in Orange County Todd is spending some money

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: on an ad campaign that's targeted just a criminals or

23
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 3: want to be criminals. You're going to see billboard, billboard messages,

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: bus placards, bumper stickers, you'll see digital ads. And he's

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: telling criminals to stay out of Orange County. You are

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: going to be prosecuted. Let's get Todd Spitzer on the

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: phone here. Welcome, Hey, it's great to be here.

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you. It's like why, why? Why? Right,

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: That's the question of the day every single day, John.

30
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Why do you have to hide your fob? Why do

31
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: you Why can't you walk down the street and got it,

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: not get whacked by a homeless person on a child?

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 1: Why are these Why does the governor need to send

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: the National Guard into Oakland because the DA there, Pamela

35
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: Price won't do her job. Why did the citizens of

36
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco have to recall their DA Why did George

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: gast go and only get twenty five percent of the vote.

38
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: You know it's not that complicated, right, I mean you

39
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: talk about this every single day. I talk about this

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: every single day in the little universe that I can

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: influence Orange County three point three million people, California Safest County.

42
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: And you got it, John. We sent you the picture.

43
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: I sent it to Ray. You know they grafeated one

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: of these billboards already. You heard about that.

45
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: No, I didn't see the picture.

46
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: So we say crime doesn't pay. And then it says

47
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: in Orange County and Orange letters. Right. Yeah, So the

48
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: top line says crime doesn't pay. Somebody went up on

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: the billboard, climbed it, got around it, and spray painted

50
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: out the word doesn't and it says crime does pay.

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: And guess where that billboard is. Right on the border

52
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles coming into Orange County on the four

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: or five freeway.

54
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: There you go, another guy, another guy.

55
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: I'm leaving it up.

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: I'm leaving it up.

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's great. Well, I'm what made you do this?

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I know it's the crime, but how did

59
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: it occur to you that you know you're going to

60
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: start putting up some advertising and it's is it just

61
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 3: aimed at the criminals because you think they're going to

62
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 3: be into Usta. You're making a larger point here.

63
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make sure the retailers and people who

64
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: are trying to just survive in Bricker mortar shops and

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: people are just living paycheck to paycheck the employees and

66
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: people are paying excessive insurance. I'm just trying to reassure people,

67
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: you know that in Orange County we still prosecute. So

68
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely talking to citizens. I'm absolutely talking to criminals.

69
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, we have over one hundred and fifty

70
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: individuals arrested in Orange County and being prosecuted actively for

71
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: smash and grab and saft. And you know, I'm only

72
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: one of those people was from Orange County. The rest

73
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: were from Los Angeles and they're surrounding counties. Say, come

74
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: to Orange County for obvious reasons.

75
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: How many products I've got it?

76
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: Listen, I got go aheads, No.

77
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: How many are you prosecuting? And only one from Orange County.

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: In our recent when we were keeping stats in the

79
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: beginning for a special prosecution unit just dealing with smash

80
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: and grab and excessive taking, we had over one hundred

81
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: and forty one arrests. Okay, we stopped counting. This was

82
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,559
Speaker 1: just in the very very early stages when I formed

83
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: this group earlier this year, and only one of those

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: people that was arrested in that group was from Orange County.

85
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: The rest came in from LA County.

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 3: That's astonishing.

87
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: Know, but listen, John set look because Sacramento is rolling

88
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: out the red carpet for these people, right, I mean, look, look,

89
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: you would say to yourself, how is it the governor

90
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: is going to send the National Guard At the California

91
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: High Patrol, they just announced a big, big arrests, significant arrests.

92
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of the work of the California High Patrol,

93
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, in Oakland Alameda County. But it's going back

94
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: to the earlier question, why why why why? They already

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: have the Oakland Police which can't recruit. No one wants

96
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: to work in the Oakland Police Department because the DA

97
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: there prosecutes police more than she prosecutes criminals. And so

98
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: you know, LAPD is down two thousand officers. I don't

99
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: even know who the next chief is going to be.

100
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: That is one of the most important questions. Who's going

101
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: to be the next chief of police of LA I

102
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: can tell you the Los Angeles City Police chief is

103
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: one of the most influential law enforcement individuals in the country.

104
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: If Karen Bass, if the mayor appoints a woke, progressive chief,

105
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: the whole country is in trouble.

106
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 3: The Orange County citizens are very well behaved. I mean,

107
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: have to give them credit. There's such a tiny percent

108
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: of the criminals that are wandering around the town.

109
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: I understand, but set is up in Orange County, even

110
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: though we still remain it's all relative, right, It's like

111
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: the tide is rising across the whole state. Crime is

112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: going up everywhere at property crime, serious aggravated assaults, and

113
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,799
Speaker 1: it's going up in Orange County. Like I'm literally trying

114
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: to hold back the damn here. I'm I'm trying to

115
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: keep this from happening. I can't believe we're having this

116
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: become impossible.

117
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: I can't believe we're having this conversation though. All you're

118
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: talking about is the basic everyday duties of a district

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: attorney since the beginning of time, Right, this is what

120
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: das do. This is what their deputies do. This is

121
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 3: what the police do. It was normal, it was accepted.

122
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: You steal stuff, you're gonna get arrested and prosecutor you're

123
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: gonna spend some time behind bars. We're gonna let you out,

124
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 3: but don't do it again, or the punishment's gonna be worse.

125
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: And this worked, and suddenly we have all these absurd

126
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: stories and the nation, like you said, the National Guard

127
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: has to come in.

128
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: All you got to do is put these guys.

129
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: In jail for some period of time until they get discouraged.

130
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: It's too much trouble.

131
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: We're not talking about We're not talking about first time offenders.

132
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about a graduated, escalated enforcement. And listen, when

133
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: you and I were at the Honda Center a couple

134
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, in three hours, John, we got over

135
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: a thousand cars, thirteen hundred signatures. That's desperation, right, people

136
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: are desperate to take back their streets. And what makes

137
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: me so sad, Right, you know, I was a police

138
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,679
Speaker 1: officer in La. You know, I was a high school

139
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: teacher in La. I grew up in La. I went

140
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: to college in La. And I mean, I am, I mean,

141
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: I love La, but I'm sick of watching what is

142
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: happening to that county and to the city. And it's

143
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: completely unacceptable. And I quite frankly, look if my billboards

144
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: are out there to deter criminals, reassure businesses, and make

145
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: sure that the public knows there are das in this state. Okay,

146
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: mister Anderson in San Bernandino, mister Hestrin in Riverside, Summer

147
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: Stephan in San Diego. We are law and ordered das.

148
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: We cared deeply and we're doing everything we can to

149
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: fight the nonsense and the rest of the state.

150
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: Did you ever see the statistics this came out in

151
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: New York City last year? Nearly one third of all

152
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: the shoplifting arrests in New York City involved just three

153
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty seven people. Collectively, they were arrested more

154
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 3: than six thousand times. Three hundred and twenty seven people

155
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 3: in New York arrested six thousand times. They were doing

156
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: one third of all the shoplifting. I mean, it's relevely

157
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: you relatively small number.

158
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 2: Each.

159
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: Why three strikes was so effective? That's why three strikes, right, Yeah,

160
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: it was George Gascone that got the third strike to

161
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: have to be a serious or violent sellony, And okay,

162
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: we can live with that. But the fact of the

163
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: matter is really really three serious or violent felonies and

164
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: then you would go to prison for twenty five years

165
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: to life, like at some point you earn your way

166
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: to prison. The nonsense of the Wokes and the progressive

167
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: is oh, our prisons are overcrowded with people who sell marijuana.

168
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: That is ridiculous. Why the prisons are full of people

169
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: who are murderers, rapists and three strikers and second structures.

170
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: I just want to understand how come these wokeheads can

171
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: lie and there's no effective pushback with the truth. Of course,

172
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: you don't have the prisons filled with marijuana salesmen. Of

173
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,479
Speaker 3: course they're filled with murderers and rapists and others severe.

174
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: I just don't understand why those the wokeheads win all

175
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: the time.

176
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: They win all the time because they're in power right

177
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: now in California, right, think about this. I was in

178
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: the legislature when Karen Bass was the speaker. Okay, fabi

179
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: On Nuniaz was the speaker when I was in the legislature.

180
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: Karen has gone on to be one of the most

181
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: power powerful politicians in America, the mayor of Los Angeles.

182
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: She acts as if when she went to the Sacramento

183
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago with paul Ka Korean, who I

184
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: also served in the legislature. Now they're in France, right,

185
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: they're in France. When when when La is burning? Right,

186
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: when Elie is falling apart. They're in France because the

187
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: Olympics is the most important thing on their mind. But

188
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: that being said, when they went to Sacramento to beg

189
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: for money, they act as if they're strangers to It's

190
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: a foreign land. A foreign land. Paul Ker, Korean and

191
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: Kieren for why Sacramento has the mentality that it has today,

192
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: They created it. They were in the majority. You want

193
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: you see when these politicians go to different offices, they

194
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: act as if they did nothing to impact or effect

195
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: what they did when they destroyed it when they were

196
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: there the first time.

197
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, Todd. Good talking with you again. You're here, John,

198
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 3: all right, we'll see you soon. God Spitzer orange County

199
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: District Attorney, and you will. We'll see the billboards and

200
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 3: the bus placards and the digital advertising on the internet

201
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 3: saying that Arge County is telling the criminals that we're prosecuting.

202
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 3: And what he also said is to let everyone know

203
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: all the normal people, the people who own the shops

204
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: and the businesses, the customers, that in Orange County they

205
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 3: prosecute criminals and put them in jail. And this has

206
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 3: to be an ad campaign. This isn't automatic, it's not

207
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: automatically understood. In Orange County. Everybody has to be reassured

208
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: because at La County we don't have any of this.

209
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: In La County, you can steal, you can knock six

210
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: year old girls to the ground, you can act psychotic.

211
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 3: There's no consequences for anything. That poor woman, the beauty

212
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 3: store manager who got thrown to the ground, and she

213
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 3: still hasn't I mean she opened her eyes, but she's

214
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 3: not really conscious. She's got looks like some serious brain damage.

215
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 3: I will tell you more about that story because there's

216
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 3: another update today.

217
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am

218
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 4: six forty.

219
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 3: We're on the radio from one until fourth boistline eight

220
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: seven seven moist to eighty six. All right, to tie

221
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 3: it together, I was about to get into now you

222
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: see this shouldn't exist.

223
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 2: You've heard this story.

224
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: Four women at a beauty supply shop in the City

225
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: of Commerce in southeast La County. They stole a bunch

226
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 3: of stuff and one of the employees sought and she

227
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 3: blocks the doorway. So one of these crazy thieves attacked

228
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: the employee and threw to the ground outside the shop.

229
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: Sheriff's Department said the employee fell to the ground head

230
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: first lost consciousness. Now El Segundo Times is slightly disputing this.

231
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 3: The video reviewed by The Times said it wasn't immediately

232
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: clear from the surveillance footage when the woman lost consciousness,

233
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 3: and trying to give you the impression that but she

234
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 3: didn't get hit her head and not get knocked out.

235
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 3: It shows her tussling with a person who tosses her

236
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: to the ground, after which she stands again before staggering

237
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: and falling back to the asphalt flat on her back. Well,

238
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 3: you can get knocked out and it might take a

239
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: second or two before you lose consciousness. That happens, especially

240
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: if your brain starts to swell. So this woman, she's

241
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 3: thirty two years old, haven't seen a name, she hasn't

242
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: been identified by the family, and she's fighting for her life.

243
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 3: She was unconscious for days, she suffered two heart attacks.

244
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: She might need a hard transplant, and all she's doing

245
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 3: is opening her eyes and moving him from side to side.

246
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: According to the woman's father, Enrique Sandoval, We're devastated to

247
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 3: see my daughter in this situation in the state. I

248
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: almost want to go crazy. She's in intensive care, hooked

249
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: up to a machine to keep her heart pump pumping.

250
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 3: The family is starting a fundraiser if you want to donate.

251
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: The name is Sandoval and she had prior heart issues

252
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: and she was the assistant manager at the store. Now

253
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 3: this isn't a beauty shop. And who are these women?

254
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: And this isn't the first time they've done this. You

255
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: know that no one's been arrested. And even if they're arrested,

256
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen. Nothing must they steal something in Orange

257
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 3: County then Todd Spitzer will put them away. And they're

258
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: doing this because they know they can get away with it.

259
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: And it doesn't matter that they're on video, It doesn't

260
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: matter that there are witnesses. The stores are just supposed

261
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: to take it. This is gascone in Bass. This is

262
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: their philosophy. They always had this philosophy. As Todd Spitzer

263
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: pointed out, he served with them in the legislature years ago.

264
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: Karen Bass is near seventy years old. Gascon's got to

265
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: be in his sixties. This is the way they've always been.

266
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: And then you go to Orange County and can you

267
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: believe that statistic? He put together a unit Todd did

268
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: to go out the smashing grabs last year early on

269
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: they were counting one hundred and forty one people arrested,

270
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 3: one of them from Orange County. What does that tell you,

271
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: one out of one hundred and forty one from Orange

272
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: County seeing the thieves have to stick to La County

273
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 3: because gascon will spin him through the system. And he's

274
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: right about LAPD. I mean that last police chief, Michael Moore,

275
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 3: he was incredibly weak, but of course you know he

276
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 3: had his his parts were in a jar, sitting on

277
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: Karen Bass's desk, so he wasn't allowed to do anything.

278
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: But it just seemed like he was the kind of

279
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: guy not to too much pushback. I mean, the day

280
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: he took a knee with Garcetti, you tell me every

281
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: you tell me not every criminal in La County didn't

282
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: see that one huh took a knee with Eric Garcetti

283
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 3: during the George Floyd protests while the Jewish Business District

284
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: was burning on Fairfax. Boy, that's that said everything you

285
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 3: needed to know about what was coming for the next

286
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: four years taken a knee. So of course crime skyrocketed here.

287
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: You know, the criminals watch television, they have they have iPhones.

288
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: If they see the wouldn't see Darryl Gates doing that

289
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: when we come back. For some reason, the Biden crowd

290
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: and the media, and I see these people. I hear

291
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 3: these people on television. I see their writings. They do

292
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: not understand why Americans are upset with inflation. Don't they

293
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 3: know that inflation is slowing down? Well, it is slowing down,

294
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: but it's still going up. And it went up so

295
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 3: much the last two years. I have a chart of prices,

296
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: cursory prices. What it is now and what it used

297
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: to be in February of twenty twenty, a month before

298
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: the lockdown. All right, and these are the prices that

299
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: we all see every day. And this totals up. And

300
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: then we're at the register and pissed off, and we

301
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: know what happened. We know that they flooded the country

302
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 3: with all kinds of fake money and that's what drove

303
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: up the prices. We'll tell you all about it we

304
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 3: come back. Wall Street Journal had a good graphs and story.

305
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

306
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: six forty.

307
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: We're on the radio from one until four and then

308
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand, listen to

309
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: what you missed, and we have interviews with a woman

310
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 3: named Christina from Santa Monica.

311
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: You're gonna want to listen to this.

312
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 3: She was showing her friends what Santa Monica looks like,

313
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 3: and they had a six year old girl and the

314
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 3: girl got whacked by a psychotic homeless guy who's sitting

315
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 3: on a bus bench that they were passing. And Christina

316
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 3: tells the whole crazy story. Girl looks like it's okay,

317
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 3: but it's really frightening. Family's not coming back to La

318
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 3: for a while. He also just had Todd Spitzer on

319
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 3: talking about his campaign to let people know that in

320
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: Narge County.

321
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: They prosecuted criminals.

322
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: Now this I find fascinating because you know, I read

323
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 3: too much, I watch too much, and I do it

324
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 3: for you so you don't have to write. You can't

325
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 3: keep track of all this blies out there, and I

326
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: can't tell you, like if I had a separate show,

327
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 3: I would like to go through like the daily lies

328
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: throughout the media, television, the newspapers, internet, news sites, the

329
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: whole thing. I and the opinion pieces, and I'm thinking,

330
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: are these guys this stupid or it's really propaganda? And

331
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 3: it's the whole Biden crowd and all the journalists who

332
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 3: defend Biden. He's screwed up two things really bad, and

333
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: if he goes down, it's going to be over two things. Inflation,

334
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 3: which came from all the excessive spending and sending out

335
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 3: too many checks to people and all the borrowed money

336
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 3: and the printed money that screwed up the economy and

337
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 3: created the inflation.

338
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: There's no question.

339
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: Second thing is leaving the border wide open so three

340
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: million people and their terrorist brothers can plunder the country.

341
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 3: Those two things, and they're both one hundred percent his

342
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 3: fault or his administration in case he napped for the

343
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 3: whole last three years.

344
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 2: And that that's the truth. And they don't understand that.

345
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 3: All right, some inflation is only three point two percent,

346
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 3: it's it's it's it's moderating.

347
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: If it's up three point two percent, it's up.

348
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 3: And it's up three point two percent on top of

349
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 3: last year, which was what nine percent on top of

350
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 3: the year before. And people they walk into the grocery store,

351
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 3: and I think we all have a certain number that

352
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: we associate with a product because for decades we didn't

353
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: have much inflation you'd see things tick up a little bit,

354
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 3: nothing serious. So we all have a number of what

355
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: you know, butter's supposed to cost, or a dozen eggs

356
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: or paper totels.

357
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: We all know what it's supposed to cost.

358
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 3: Now we go in there, and even if you've seen

359
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: this massive increase twenty times, it still bugs you. I'm

360
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: going to we're gonna play a game here, paying attention. Sure,

361
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 3: I've got ten items?

362
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 2: We I have ten?

363
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,720

364
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 3: what the twenty twenty price was. Tell me what you

365
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,000

Speaker 3: five cents.

368
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: What do you think it is now?

369
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 5: Seven?

370
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 3: Oh, you live in the expensive neighborhood six sixty four,

371
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 3: which is bad?

372
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: That is why are you buying baby not?

373
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 6: I'm guessing. Oh, okay, why do you buying baby wipes?

Speaker 3: Worse for eighty seven? Cooking oil was five twenty two?

379
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 6: Well is it olive oil? Avocado oil?

380
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 2: Nobody buys avocado oil?

381
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 6: Gee, come on, I do okay, so give me the

382
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 6: price again.

383
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: It's normal cooking oil. Think like lesson, sir.

384
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 6: Okay, So what was the price in twenty twenty.

385
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: Five, twenty two seven eight o four. It's even worse.

386
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 3: I know you don't buy this kind of milk, but

387
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 3: cow's milk. And they have to put cow there because

388
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 3: there's all these fake milks that go around. Okay, this

389
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 3: is the original. It was two seventy. You wouldn't know this.

390
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 3: It's three twenty six. Now deodoring was four sixty eight

391
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: eight bucks close seven forty three.

392
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: Mine's nine. Well you got the extra powerful. Yeah, I

393
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: need it.

394
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: Dog food and I've noticed this was by forty two,

00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: eight forty eight A.

396
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 6: Can A bag doesn't say eggs.

397
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: That's another big one I noticed was two thirty five.

398
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 3: The price has come down from its peak, but now

399
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 3: it's three eighty seven. I remember it was going for

400
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: eight nine dollars.

401
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 6: Yes, people were scrambling to find sheep eggs.

402
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 3: Nutrition bars. You probably buy those three twelve it used

403
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: to be.

404
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 6: Now it's oh, well minor maybe four dollars.

405
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: You didn't want you to take an hour?

406
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 6: Well, I'm trying to I'm trying to be exact.

407
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 3: Five sixty seven paper tottles. This pisses me off because

408
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 3: I make a lot of messes. I'd buy a lot

409
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 3: of paper toteles. It was five seventy six, now it's

410
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 3: eight twenty two. Potatoes not too bad, two bucks, now

411
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: it's too sixty two. Ramen was sixty two cents for

412
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 3: a bag. Now it's a dollar eight, even if you're

413
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: starving buying cheap noodles. I added everything up in twenty twenty.

414
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: Those let's see, nine eleven items totaled thirty eight dollars

415
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 3: and ninety cents in twenty twenty. Now it's sixty dollars

416
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 3: and eighteen cents.

417
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 6: I know it's insane.

418
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 2: Sixty dollars that on.

419
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 6: Top of the gas prices.

420
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 3: That were You know what, there's not much there. There's

421
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 3: baby wipes and bleach. You can't eat that, cooking oil, milk, deodorant,

422
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 3: dog food, eggs, nutrition bars, paper towels, potatoes.

423
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: And ramen. That's not even that doesn't even have any

424
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: meat in it.

425
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 6: It's going to say your steak is not your burgers exactly.

426
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 2: I'm not supposed to eat burgers. I'm supposed to eat

427
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: the ramen.

428
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 6: Now, potatoes are cheap.

429
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: Have those?

430
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, potato potatoes and noodles. That's that's all you can

431
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: eat here. They have some other examples in Saint Louis

432
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: to the price of dry cleaning to do one shirt

433
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 3: has gone from a dollar fifty to four dollars.

434
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't do that anymore.

435
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: I don't either. Yeah, I know you know what I do.

436
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: I got I got shirts that wrinkle easily if you

437
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 3: hang them in the shower, in a hot shower.

438
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

439
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my trick on the road. It works, it does,

440
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: and you screw up and put it right under the water.

441
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 6: Buy a new one.

442
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

443
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 3: Let's see, milks up twenty percent, pet food's up twenty

444
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 3: one percent. But you know, and this irritates everybody all

445
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 3: the time. So you have tens of millions of voters,

446
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 3: might be like maybe one hundred million voters. And if

447
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 3: they go to the store every day, and every day

448
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: they're annoyed, not just with one item. It's one thing.

449
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: Because you'd have price spikes occasionally for meat or milk

450
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: or whatever. Right, there'd be some problem, you'd have the

451
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: Avian flu, and the eggs would go up for a

452
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 3: few weeks.

453
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 2: But when you have.

454
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: Twenty things on your list and all twenty things have

455
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 3: shot up, they've doubled or tripled, Yes, you're gonna be

456
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 3: pissed and you're not going to vote for the guy

457
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 3: running the economy.

458
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: You're just not. And don't don't lie and do.

459
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 3: Your gas lighting and do your propaganda bs and tell

460
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 3: me otherwise. And this headline and the Wall Street Journals

461
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 3: sums it up perfectly. We still don't believe how much

462
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: things cost. And it doesn't matter if the rate of

463
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 3: increase is slowing, it's still a rate of increase. It's

464
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 3: not going down like gas prices. Right six buck gas.

465
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six.

466
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 3: Forty Conway coming up in minutes. This is how stupid

467
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: our government is. Our California government headed by the chief blockhead,

468
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom, and all the county and city government leaders.

469
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: You remember, during the lockdown, they decided to spend hundreds

470
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 3: of millions of dollars to butt the mental patients, the

471
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: drug addicts, and the vagrants inside hotels so they wouldn't

472
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: spread COVID. I really understand this because they were all

473
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 3: wandering the streets anyway. It's not like there weren't any

474
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 3: holdless people in the streets during COVID, But we did

475
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 3: spend a lot of money on hotel rented out the rooms,

476
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 3: whether they were used or not. Three hundred million dollars

477
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 3: were spent, and now they have just found out that

478
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 3: the federal government, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is not

479
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 3: going to pay for most of it. Local state officials

480
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 3: thought that the federal government would reimburse cities and counties

481
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 3: for the cost of the hotels. Thousands of vagrants and

482
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 3: mental patients in hotels, and the hotel owners made out

483
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 3: really well, and they thought, well, the Feds will pay

484
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 3: us back. Now FEMA has said, well, no, you're all mistaken.

485
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 3: We only agreed to pay for twenty days. So now

486
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: all these blockheads, led by Robert Garcia, congressman from Long Beach,

487
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 3: used to be the mayor, thirty four other Democrats, one Republican,

488
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 3: they've asked the FEMA administrator to reconsider and give the

489
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 3: money anyway, three hundred million dollars la LA might lose

490
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 3: that on lose out on sixty million dollars. The city

491
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 3: is already broke. This is Karen Bass, but Garcetti started it.

492
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: The city has hiring limits because of a budget shortfall,

493
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 3: and now there's another sixty million dollars that they're not

494
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: going to get. Didn't anyone make a phone call like

495
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: three four years ago, it's like, hey, who's covering this?

496
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: You guys covering this or we it's all you had

497
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: to do.

498
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: But they just kept spending the money, wrapped up three

499
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: hundred million dollar bills with the hotels, like, well, you're

500
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: not reimbursing us, Hey, idiots.

501
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: Conway's here.

502
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 7: Hey, now there's a landslide in Sherman Oaks. It's really

503
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 7: bad news. No, it's not at Mark tom Sin says,

504
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 7: I don't wish that on him, but I know you do, Johnny.

505
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 5: I know it's not Mark Thompson's.

506
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 7: But there are three homes that are damaged, and I

507
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 7: think it's obviously the residual from you.

508
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 5: Know, all the rain that we had and all the craziness.

509
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 7: H plus you know, there was a story that came

510
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 7: out yesterday that said, if you have on Star, they're

511
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 7: they're watching how you drive and they're going to report

512
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 7: to your insurance company how you drive, and your insurance

513
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 7: rates are gonna go up if you drive like a maniac.

514
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 5: Well, two things.

515
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 7: One, it's true on Star is listening to you and

516
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 7: does provide you your insurance company. But there's a surprise

517
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 7: and am pretty good and good news if you live

518
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 7: in California, California. All right, they've got your back on

519
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 7: this one. All right, just for now. But you know

520
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 7: that Tesla. I don't know if you've ever been into

521
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 7: tesla or driven a Tesla? Have you ever driven I've

522
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 7: sat in a Tesla? Have you ever ever driven in one?

523
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 7: I've never driven in one. I've never I saw what

524
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 7: in a showroom once I watched one go by on

525
00:29:58,320 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 7: the street.

526
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: That's me too.

527
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with you on that old school, old school.

528
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 7: But you know they have five cameras on that tesla

529
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 7: and I always thought, okay, they're just you know, proactively

530
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 7: trying to help you protect your car because a lot

531
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 7: of people are jealous that you haven't electric car and

532
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 7: they're going to key it or want to break into whatever.

533
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 5: No, that information is also could be sold as well.

534
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, every car going by a spying But but let

535
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: me ask you this.

536
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 7: Remember, have you ever talked about going to a concert

537
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 7: or an event? And then you know, ten minutes later,

538
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 7: your phone pops up goes, hey, you want tickets to

539
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 7: the event.

540
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 5: You were talking about.

541
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 7: So I think even if you if you don't have

542
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 7: on Star, if you just have your cell phone with you,

543
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 7: it's also doing the same thing.

544
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

545
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 1: You know.

546
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 3: One time, first time I really noticed this is we

547
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: were in Italy a few years ago because my wife

548
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,760

551
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 3: train station, be careful pickpockets.

552
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: Right, Oh yeah, you know.

553
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: So we're all walking through as a group, and I

554
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: got my hands on my wallet and well, you know,

555
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: we're talking pickpockets, pickpockets.

Speaker 3: I sit down to wait for the train, I open

558
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 3: my epad, I go to a news site and suddenly

559
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:14,160

Speaker 3: I didn't know existing somehow they recorded us talking processed

562
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 3: and as soon as I turned it on, boom, there's
