We have vanquished the opposition. 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 2: I'm feeling like you didn't like your other time slaty. 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: No, actually it was fine. It's just all the things 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: I can't talk about on the air. Save it for 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: the book. Save it for the book. Yes, so you know, 10 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: people better suck up to me big time if they 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: want to be treated nicely in the book. Otherwise there's 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: a lot of damage that's going to be done. But 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: I am I'm happy to be back at three o'clock 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: because I don't know. We were on at three for 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: what thirty years? And now the thing is now listeners 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: are displaced and disoriented and the routine is now messed up, 17 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: so we have to acknowledge that. And it's you know, 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: they've had the routine scrambled several times in recent years. 19 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: So now we're going to be back from three to six, 20 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: and Michael Monks and Chris Marrill going to be on 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: from noon until three.

And everybody's happy, 27 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: and this is the way the world should be, and 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: we are just going to look forward to the future. 29 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: I just want to survey the battlefield one more time 30 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: and look at the look at the casualties.

You know, 45 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: we I think you and I were both on a 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: real we were all on a real rigid time schedule 47 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: to get this thing off at one o'clock. And having 48 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: the extra two hours allows me to take a longer nap. 49 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: For example, I can sit down and eat lunch. 50 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: Must be nice like. 51 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: A civilized person.

Well, at least I'm relaxed. 56 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 2: I know, at least one of us is okay instead 57 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: of both of us not. 58 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way to get you relaxed 59 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: no matter what goes on. So probably all right, So 60 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: nobody should try hard to make things easy for you. 61 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: Well nobody really has, so. 62 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: You're in a perfect spot exactly, all right. So anyway, yeah, 63 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: three to six will be on from now on, and 64 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: you know, all the nefarious characters, they all came through 65 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: for us because we got two really absurd stories to 66 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 1: share with you for our first hour, and that's the 67 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: first one is about the California High Speed Rail Authorities CEO. 68 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: I have said many times that all the people running 69 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: California High Speed Rail should be arrested for the eighteen seventeen, 70 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: eighteen billion dollars that have disappeared without any sign of 71 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: railroad track. It's almost like a magic trick, right. Imagine 72 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: imagine giving somebody seventeen billion dollars and it's like, just 73 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: lay down some railroad track nothing the money. We might 74 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: as well burn it a public bonfire. Well, the latest 75 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: CEO is a guy named Ian Chowdri chowdri cho u 76 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: d Ari. How are you pronouncing it. 77 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: Again, chowdri chowdre that I could be wrong. 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: You could be. He's been the CEO of High Speed 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Rail Authority. 80 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 4: Dan. 81 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 1: You remember what days today? Today's February seventeenth, Okay, two 82 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: weeks ago, almost exactly. He was standing next to hair 83 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: Gel and they were doing a press conference out in 84 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: the wilds of Wasco. Now Wasco is thirty miles to 85 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: the east of Bakersfield. And I've never believed this, so 86 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: I always have double checked. This is where the high 87 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: speed rail segment that they claim they're gonna build first, 88 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: this is where it's going to end. You might hear 89 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: it in the media described as as Merced to Bakersfield. 90 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 1: It is not. Mersed and Bakersfield are recognized cities, metropolitan areas. 91 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: Even they have media there like radio and television stations 92 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: and newspapers, and they have industries like in Bakersfield, obviously 93 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: it's the oil industry. There's a UC in Merced. So 94 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: they're real small California cities, and so you know, it 95 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 1: sounds like, oh, okay, they're connecting those two small cities. First, No, 96 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: they're not. They're connecting a town named Madera with a 97 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: town called Shafter, which is, like I said, thirty miles 98 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: east of east of Bakersfield. But it's not even Shafter 99 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: where this rail terminal is. The terminals actually in Wasco. Okay, 100 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: So it's Madera to Wassco as far as I can tell. 101 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,160 Speaker 1: And he and Newsom we're standing there claiming that, you know, 102 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: they're having great success because they're they're they're they're building 103 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: this railhead, which is I guess the terminal for the 104 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: southern end of this segment, And isn't this really cool? 105 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: And everybody was laughing at them for one thing. All 106 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: the photo ops had Newsom standing in front of a 107 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: box car standing in front of a freight train. He 108 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: tried to make it look like it was a passenger 109 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 1: rail train, but it wasn't. It was an old box car, 110 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: and he looked ridiculous. Well, I guess I don't know. 111 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: Maybe CHAUDRII went home and he read all the news 112 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: stories mocking the press conference. He looked and he saw 113 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: that knew some had made a fool of himself again. 114 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: He walked into some kind of domestic riot going on 115 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: between his fiance and it appears to be Shaudre's daughter, 116 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: who's seventeen. Now, you don't want to walk into a 117 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: fight between your daughter and the wannabe step mother, right 118 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: That never turned out? Apparently that's what SHAUDREI walked into. 119 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: And according to one of the news stories, it started 120 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: all right, it says here an alleged fight. Oh, this 121 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: is dispatch recordings that the Sacramento be reviewed a fight 122 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: between the fiance and Shawdrey's seventeen year old daughter. The 123 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: fiance had pulled the daughter's hair and pushed her and 124 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: then locked her out of the house. 125 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 2: Can you imagine? 126 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: And this is what dad walks in on. It was 127 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: not clear who made the call to nine one one, 128 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: but all three residents, the dad, the wannabe stepmother, and 129 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: the daughter were standing outside the home, I presume, arguing 130 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: and they think a neighbor called in. And you know, 131 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: of course, SHAUDREI is the one who gets arrested, right 132 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: because the police show up, they see a guy and 133 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: two angry, upset women. Who's going to get handcuffed. It's 134 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: going to be the guy. Dad, He's the one who's 135 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: got to take it and go to jail. And he 136 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: was arrested. Well, he and the fiance were taken into 137 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: custody on suspicion suspicion of misdemeanor battery. Now, I would 138 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: not mess with the fiance. Her name is leed Mila Starostiak. 139 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: I'm guessing here. I looked her up on Facebook. She's 140 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: involved in a lot of Ukrainian causes. She is raising 141 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: money to send food and medical supplies and support to 142 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians who were dealing with the Russian war. And 143 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you know what, I wouldn't get into a 144 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: fight with a Ukrainian activist because those people are tough. 145 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: They're like cousins of the Polish. When I meet Ukrainians. 146 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: They remind me very much of my Polish relatives, and 147 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: these people are tough. They've actually held off the Russians 148 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: for four years, right, they thought the Russians thought they 149 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: were going to roll over the Ukrainians in a week. 150 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: That's what they expected. And so you know, I don't 151 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: know what he's doing taking on a fight with the 152 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: Ukrainian fiance there. That's that's not a smart thing to do. Here. Now, 153 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: he of course is running this massive scam operation. I 154 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: have no sympathy for him because I found out going 155 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: through these stories that he's making and this is your money, 156 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: five hundred and sixty three thousand dollars a year, which, 157 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: as Eric pointed out before, is not as much as 158 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: Denise Kinoniez gets for running the the Department of Order 159 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: and Power because she's making seven fifty. But you believe 160 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: this guy who's been running is the CEO of high 161 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: Speed Rail five hundred and sixty three thousand dollars. He 162 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: supposedly has a lot of experience. He was appointed in 163 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: August to twenty twenty four. He worked on large scale 164 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: construction projects in more than eighteen countries, so he's built 165 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: stuff in eighteen countries, comes to California to work under 166 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom and everything is still at a dead stop. 167 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 1: There's still no high speed rail, no matter who they 168 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: bring in. So this guy had to do an embarrassing 169 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: press conference with Newsom who was pretending to stand in 170 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: front of a high speed rail train when it was 171 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: a box card train. And then they had to pretend 172 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: that there's real progress being made on laying track when 173 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: there's not. And he goes home and his fiance and 174 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: his daughter are having some wild hair pulling fight. This 175 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: is a bad day, and for two weeks they were 176 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 1: able to keep it out of the newspapers. The DA 177 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: Sacramento County immediately declined to file charges. He probably said, 178 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: who is that again? No, I'm not filing charge. Just 179 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: this is this is Newsome's boy. He's not gonna do that. 180 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: You want, you want a future in politics, You're not 181 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: gonna put Newsom's high speed rail CEO in in jail. 182 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: And so there were no charges officially filed, so he's 183 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: not facing anything. And uh, I guess I don't know 184 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: who leaked this, but uh, the secrecy didn't hold. Originally 185 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: he was arrested on suspicion of battery against a spouse. However, uh, 186 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: maybe it was just a push and shove family fight. 187 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,559 Speaker 1: But he still hasn't laid down any rail track. This 188 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: Ian Shawdrey. Okay, he's still taking over half a million 189 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: dollars and is producing nothing as he continues his role 190 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: in this gigantic scam. When we come back, the second 191 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: absurd story of the hour, and that is the nerve 192 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: of Karen Bass asking somebody else to resis that somebody 193 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: else ought to be fired, and she's going after Casey Washerman, 194 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: the head of the Olympics. We'll get to that next. 195 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 196 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 4: six forty. 197 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: John Cobelt's Show. And no, this is not the last 198 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: hour of the show. This is the first hour of 199 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: the show. If you haven't heard, we're back in our 200 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: old time slot from three to six every day, Monday 201 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: through Friday. Conway will follow us in his old time 202 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: slot from six to ten. All right, so we have 203 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: stabilized the universe. We've stabilized the rotation of the Earth 204 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: from noon to three. Now is Michael Monks and Chris Merrill, 205 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: and they're the new Team Monks and Merrill from noon 206 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: to three and they debuted today. Also, as always, if 207 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,679 Speaker 1: all this schedule scrambling has messed you up and you 208 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: can't hear the show when you want to, that's what 209 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: the podcast is for John Cobelt Show on demand and 210 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: at the end of every hour, we now release the 211 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: podcast for that hour. Okay, So at the end of 212 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: the three o'clock hour you will have the three o'clock 213 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: podcast online and the iHeart app. We'll do that every hour, 214 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: and the same thing for everybody else as well. Okay, 215 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 1: now onto this absurdity. And I think this was airing 216 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: just as I was leaving yesterday. Jake Tapper has a 217 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: show on CNN and Dana Bash was filling in for Tapper, 218 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: and I believe it must have been in the three 219 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: o'clock hour. I looked up and I saw this, and 220 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 1: by time I was driving home, this was a big 221 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: news story that Karen Bass is demanding that the head 222 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: of the Los Angeles Olympics, Casey Washerman, should resign or 223 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: he should be fired, because over twenty years ago, Casey 224 00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: Wasserman sent some suggestive emails to Gallaine Maxwell. Of all people, 225 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: Washerman was married at the time. I think one of 226 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: the uh, one of the messages was that he would 227 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: do anything if she would wear a tight leather outfit. 228 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: And I mean it really wasn't anything that scandalous other 229 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: than he's married. But by Hollywood standards, that's not that 230 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: big a deal. And where are there some lines about massages? 231 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: Maybe in there? It was it was, it was nothing. 232 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: It was more suggestive than raunchy. And it's what a 233 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: lot of couples write to each other or text to 234 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: each other. Really well, sure, but if you're texting it 235 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: to other people outside. 236 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: Your marriage, yeah, then that's when you get there's. 237 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with hoping somebody you're attracted to wear's a 238 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: tight leather outfit. I mean, you've borne your share of 239 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: leather here. 240 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: I have, yes, yes, right, yes, But so. 241 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: You know, there's been this call that he resigned and 242 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: he's the guy running the Olympics, and we're down to 243 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: two years to the Olympics and you know all the 244 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: troubles in Los Angeles. Let me play you Karen Bass 245 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: making her case cut three. 246 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 5: Should he also step down as the Olympic chief in 247 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 5: Los Angeles? 248 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 6: Well, let me just say that. Here La twenty eight, 249 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 6: which is the committee that is involved with the Olympics, 250 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 6: has the discretion. The board made a decision. I think 251 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 6: that decision was unfortunate. I don't support the decision. I 252 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 6: do think that we need to look at the leadership. However, 253 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 6: my job as mayor of Los Angeles is to make 254 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 6: sure that our city is completely prepared to have the 255 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 6: best Olympics that has ever happened in Olympic history. So 256 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 6: my focus is a little different. But the behavior of Maxwell, 257 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 6: what they were involved in is a horrnt and it's 258 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 6: an issue that I've worked on for a long time. 259 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 5: I just want to be clear that I understand what 260 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 5: you're saying. 261 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 2: You don't have a role. 262 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 5: You can't fire him up. I cannot fire but you 263 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 5: have an opinion, and your duion is. 264 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 6: My opinion is is that he should step down. That's 265 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 6: not the opinion. 266 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 5: Of the board because he said he was going to 267 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 5: sell his talent agency in order to spend more time 268 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 5: dealing with. 269 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: The Olympics exactly. 270 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 6: But again, my focus has to be on preparing the 271 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 6: city and I will continue to do that. 272 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 1: How can she possibly tell somebody that they ought to 273 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: be stepping down from a job writing those emails to 274 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: Gallaie Maxwell, years before anyone knew Gallaie Maxwell was involved 275 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 1: in the pedophile business with Epstein. Has nothing to do 276 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: with running the Olympics, and there's nobody else who should 277 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: be able. We'll be able to jump in on short 278 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: notice here, considering we're only two years away. But to 279 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 1: listen to that woman. By the way, do you think 280 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 1: anybody ever wrote suggested emails to Karen Bass? 281 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 2: Maybe one you know, yeah, maybe back in the day. 282 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: I think somebody ever wrote to Karen Bass, what do 283 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: I have to do to see you in a tight 284 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: leather outfit? 285 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that. 286 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? 287 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 2: Actually I just had a vision? Thank you. 288 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: This woman is absolutely astonishing. Here's a woman who, when 289 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: given like five days worth of fire and wind warnings, 290 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: she gets on a plane to Africa and twelve people 291 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: die at a fire and seven thousand homes burn, and 292 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: she didn't resign. But somebody writes some suggestive emails twenty 293 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: years ago, and it's like, well, I mean that's outrageous. 294 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: He should step down, he should step down. Why well 295 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: he wrote suggestive emails? Yeah, and you let you you're 296 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: responsible for twelve dead people who died in the fire. 297 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: You're responsible for tens of billions of dollars of damage 298 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: because you didn't do your job. Where the nerve And 299 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: the thing is, she's such a sociopath, she doesn't even 300 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: think of it. She doesn't even catch yourself and say, 301 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: you don't what. I'm not really in a position to 302 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: ask other people to resign here. I'm not in a 303 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: position to ask that other people get fired, because really, 304 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: after causing so much death and destruction because of my 305 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: negligence and stupidity, maybe I had to shut my trap. 306 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 3: But John, she doesn't want people to remember or think 307 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 3: about the fires, right. She wants So this is a 308 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: big deal because this is tied to Jeffrey Epstein, and 309 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 3: so she is trying to prove that she is for 310 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 3: the people, and people are outraged over Jeffrey Epstein. 311 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: This is what's calling Washerman. Had nothing to do with 312 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: those teenage girls. There is zero evidence. 313 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: Right, and she's just all about Gallaine Maxwell. 314 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: He was just having a little affair on the side. 315 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 2: But she was the one that brought the girls to Epstein. 316 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: Yes, no, yeah, no, She's definitely belongs in prison. She's 317 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: getting exactly what she deserves. She was convicted, so. 318 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 2: I didn't have to say allegedly anymore. 319 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: No, you know, right, I never know what the allegedly 320 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: I know. 321 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: I just throw that out there just to you know, 322 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 2: cover myself. 323 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: But i'd be what what I'm just I'm speechless when 324 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: I heard that. I just could not believe that she 325 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: would have the nerve to weigh in on somebody else's 326 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: troubles and give a recommendation that they should be kicked off, 327 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: kicked out of their position. Could well, I mean, she 328 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: has zero self awareness.

I said, all right, 341 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: coming up after four o'clock, we are going to talk 342 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: to a woman. You may have heard this the story. 343 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: Debbie Stopek is part of a group of Valley Glenn residents. 344 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: Vally Glenn is in the San Fernando Valley, and because 345 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: Karen Bass allows criminals to run rampant and the police 346 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: don't do anything about it, she and her neighbors put 347 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: up twenty two signs, infrared license plate readers, video recorders 348 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: to try to stop all the breakings that were going on. 349 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: South American gangs were committing these breakings. I guess this 350 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: is from leftover from Joe Biden's Busted Border. It's amazing 351 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: how all these progressives line up to make your life miserable. 352 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: You're just living here in the San Fernando Valley, in 353 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: a nice, middle class neighborhood. Everything is peaceful and there's 354 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: trees and calm, and then Joe Biden lends it, lets 355 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: in a bunch of South American gang members, and Karen 356 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: Bass lets the gang members run a mock and bust 357 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: into homes. Well, she and the neighbors put up all 358 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: these signs and plate readers. And recorders, and now the 359 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:10,119 Speaker 1: city is getting on the case of the neighbors. DeBie 360 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: Stopic and the neighbors. They're wrong. They're the troublemakers, not 361 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: the gang members who are doing the stealing, not Joe 362 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: Biden for letting them in. But Karen Bass thinks this 363 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: is the enemy people who are trying to get the 364 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: scare the criminals out of the neighborhood. Boy, she is 365 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: really one screwed up person, this Karen Bass. Huh. I'm 366 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: just going back to her demand that Casey Washerman get fired. 367 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: And so what if Casey Washerman leaves the Olympics and 368 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: everything goes to hell. There's already a good chance it's 369 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: going to go to hell just because of the condition 370 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: of the city, But then the internal workings are going 371 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: to go to hell. Of running the Olympic gamesh this 372 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: is an incredibly difficult job. I mean, I don't even 373 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: know how many countries. I mean, the Summer Olympics draws 374 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: huge range of countries and thousands of athletes and all 375 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: the coaches and the family members and the media. And 376 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna get rid of the guy because he wrote 377 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: some they weren't even dirty emails. Twenty years ago. That's 378 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: what's wrong with her. That's not the guy you let go. 379 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: Who else you gonna have to run? Seem because and 380 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: what she gets to hire the replacement. Look who she hires. 381 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: Look at the people she hires. Do more on that later. 382 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: Katie Grimes writes for The California Globe, and she wrote 383 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: a rundown of how Gavin Newsom has blown thirty seven 384 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: billion dollars in homelessness. And I learned something I didn't 385 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: know since twenty nineteen. He spent thirty seven billion dollars. 386 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: And do you know he lied dramatically on the number 387 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: of home almost people there are in the state his administration. 388 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. In the twenty twenty three 389 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: said that there were one hundred and eighty one thousand 390 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: individuals who were homeless according to their account, one hundred 391 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: and eighty one thousand, But according to Katie Grimes and 392 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 1: a story today, data show that nearly three hundred and 393 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: sixteen thousand homeless people accessed housing and services in California's 394 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: Continum of Care program. In twenty twenty two, Newsom was 395 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: claiming there was one hundred eighty one thousand homeless, but 396 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: the data shows three hundred and sixteen thousand accessed care 397 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: duplicated names. Gavin Newsom in his administration were blatantly lying 398 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: and publicizing a massive undercount of the homeless. Now that 399 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: was the twenty twenty two numbers. According to the California 400 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: Interagency Counsel on Homelessness, the programs now have provided services 401 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 1: to three hundred and thirty seven thousand people unduplicated in 402 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, three hundred and ten thousand in twenty 403 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: twenty four, although complete data had not come in. But 404 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: that's not that's not what that's not what Newsom admits 405 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: to NEWSOB admits to about one point eighty when it's 406 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: more like three p thirty three hundred thirty thousand. You 407 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: believe this, of course, you believe this. Best does this too. 408 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: They make numbers up because they're they're they're adding all 409 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: all this up. It's like, how do you spend thirty 410 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: seven billion dollars in seven years? You lose track of 411 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: twenty four billion, and the homelessness goes up significantly. This 412 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: is the kind of theft that's going on, and and 413 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: there's there's there's stuff going on in the in the 414 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: high speed rail as well. You know, I thought about 415 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: that high speed rail story. You know, the CEO got arrested. 416 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: Ian Chowdrey apparently came home and the fiance and the 417 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: daughter we're having a big blowout and he ends up 418 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: in the middle of it and gets arrested domestic violence, 419 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: but no charges were filed. It's like, I wonder when 420 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: he comes home if the fiance and the daughter taunt 421 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: him about what a failure of the high speed rail is. 422 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: I thought maybe that triggered the fight. When it seemed 423 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: like he, you know, he was doing the beating, I thought, Wow, 424 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: maybe the wife is or the is mocking him. Well 425 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: another day, still no rail. Good job, Ian, Wow, how 426 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: long are we going to be in this house? What 427 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 1: do you do all day there? Huh? Ian, what do 428 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: you do all day? I don't see any track? But 429 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: apparently that's not the case. Oh, I like to fantasize 430 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 1: about this. 431 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 3: I know, all right, I guarantee that that conversation hasn't 432 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,239 Speaker 3: even been brought up. 433 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, you probably shouldn't taunt your husband when he's in 434 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: the middle of some public failure. 435 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: Unless you want to be hit. 436 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: Rules of Survival Deborah Mark Live stop that mark Live 437 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: the KFI twenty four our newsroom. 438 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 439 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: We are in the midst of our new time slot 440 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: three to six.

We've been talking this hour 452 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: about Karen Bass going on CT and calling for Casey 453 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: Wasserman to resign as head of the Olympics because he 454 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: wrote some sexually charged emails to Glene Maxwell over twenty 455 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: years ago when I guess they had an affair going on. 456 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: But this is before the world knew what she was 457 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: up to with Epstein and she's popped off and said 458 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: he ought to resign. And the California Post this is 459 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: why I love that they exist. Their lead story is 460 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: Angry Angelino's call on Mayor Karen Bass to resign after 461 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: a statement about Wasserman. And it's about all the people 462 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: on Twitter who are saying, you gotta be kidding me, 463 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: after the way you botched the fire, the way you 464 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,080 Speaker 1: abandoned Los Angeles to fly to Africa when you had 465 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: five days of warnings. You want, you want Casey Washerman 466 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: to resign. He'll probably put on a good Olympics, at 467 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: least his part the competition. But what do you think 468 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: the city's going to be like a this is the mayor? Wow? 469 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: Like that? Really? That really is one of the all 470 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: time blockhead statements. I love how people makes they She 471 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: makes demands. She's making a demand on what planet? Does 472 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: she have the right to make a demand of anybody? 473 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: After all the suffering she's caused, I mean true, just 474 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: unending suffering, all because she had to go to Africa 475 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: instead of stay back and do her job, and again 476 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 1: she had at least five days of warning. Unbelievable. All right, Well, 477 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: we were also talking about Newsom apparently lying massively over 478 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: the years, claiming that there's about one hundred and eighty 479 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: thousand homeless in the state, and it looks like over 480 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty thousand access California homeless services. These 481 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: are three hundred and thirty thousand unduplicated individuals, and Katie 482 00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: Grimes wrote about that even Obama is making sideways comments 483 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: about Newsom's homeless policies. He was on a podcast hosted 484 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: by Brian Tyler Cohen Listen to Barack Obama, the same 485 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: would be true. Let's say here in Los Angeles around. 486 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 7: The homeless issue. I think morally, ethically speaking, it is 487 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 7: an atrocity that in a country this wealthy, we have 488 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 7: people just on the streets, and we should have a 489 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 7: We should insist on policies that recognize their full humanity 490 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 7: people who are houseless and be able to provide them 491 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 7: the help and resources that they need. But we should 492 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 7: also recognize that the average person doesn't want to have 493 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 7: to navigate around a tent city in the middle of downtown, 494 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 7: and that we're not going to be able to build 495 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:05,479 Speaker 7: a working majority and support for the resources that we 496 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 7: need to help folks like that. Whether it's drug treatment 497 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 7: or you know, temporary housing or what have you. We're 498 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 7: not going to be able to generate support for it 499 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 7: if we simply say, you know what, it's not their 500 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 7: fault and so they should be able to do whatever 501 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 7: they want, because. 502 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: That's a losing political strategy. Yeah. In other words, Carrid 503 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: Bass and Gavin Newsom's strategy of letting the homeless do 504 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: whatever they want in the streets.
