1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,840 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 2: I am six forty. 3 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 2: Hello, it's good that you're here. 5 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 1: We're on every day from one until four o'clock and 6 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: every day after four o'clock.

We're going to go to. Carl 11 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: Demio so much. 12 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: Gavin new some news. You know, he finally came back 13 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: into the country. They let him back in. He was 14 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: hiding in the Amazon while his top chief of staff 15 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: for two years was being let off in handcuffs for 16 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: stealing money. And he never said boo last week, while 17 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: Dana Williamson was being dragged off, and of course the 18 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: story was that when they first told her she was 19 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: being investigated, they said, we're also investigating separately. Gavin Newsom, 20 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: what do you know? She goes, I know nothing, And 21 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: that hasn't been explained yet as to what that investigation 22 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: may have been, or maybe it's ongoing. 23 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: We don't know. 24 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: Carlamio, the California Assemblyman out of San Diego. He has 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: a suggestion for an investigation, and he believes so strongly. 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: He sent a letter to Trump's Department of Justice that 27 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom should be criminally investigated. And it involves three 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: billion dollars that are missing. Three billion. Let's go to Carl. 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: How are you. 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: I'm fine, John, what's this story? Three billion dollars? 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it ties into what you were just talking 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: about with Dana Williamson, the chief of staff that was 33 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: just indicted by the Feds. There's corruption in Sacramento. It's clear, 34 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: and everyone sees it and knows about it. But the 35 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 3: reason why chargers are never brought is you have a 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 3: one party controlled state. The Democrats control of the Attorney 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 3: General's office. There are no state charges. They control most 38 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 3: of the district attorney these offices, so there are no 39 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 3: local charges. Everyone knew what Dana Williamson was doing, and 40 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 3: it was a surprise to no one because it's the 41 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 3: way the corrupt system works. They trade favors, they give 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: each other contracts, and so the FED step in and 43 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 3: bring charges. And in this case, we know what's going 44 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 3: on at the retirement board. We have gotten financial disclosures 45 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: from the State pension Board CalPERS, and they already give 46 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 3: out gold plated pensions that taxpayers can't afford. But one 47 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: way they say they're going to be able to afford 48 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: them is that they're going to make so much money 49 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 3: in the stock market. They're going to get investment returns 50 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: and it's going to cover all the lavish payoffs. Well, 51 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 3: problem is, the politicians have told the pension board that 52 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: they want investments to go to the Green New Deal ideology. 53 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 3: All of these scam investments in solar and wind and 54 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: all these battery storage facilities are part of these Green 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: New Deal investment trusts. And now Kalipers is losing billions 56 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: of dollars in bad investments that they made because the 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 3: politicians want to go after these Green New Deal scams. 58 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: So I'm not expecting the state to investigate because they 59 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 3: look the other way. That's why I'm asking the federal 60 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: investigators to look at did they violate their fuduciary responsibility? 61 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 3: Was there quid pro quo? Was there any financial kickbacks 62 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 3: that were going on? Because they lost so much money 63 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: in these scams that it can't just be Green New 64 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 3: Deal ideology. I believe it's worse than that I think 65 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: that they're self dealing here, and we got to get 66 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 3: to the bottom of it. 67 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: So they put the money directly into this investment fund, 68 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: and then where does the money go from there? It's 69 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: saying in a fund, who gets it next? 70 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: There's a good question and what political relationships do they 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: have to the politicians, because most of these green New 72 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: deal companies and green New deal hedge funds investment funds 73 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: end up giving campaign contributions back to the Democrats, not 74 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: the Republicans, but the Democrats. And then the Democrat politicians 75 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 3: tell the investment boards, hey, we want you to invest 76 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: in these sorts of industries, these sorts of investment pools. Well, 77 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: when you take a look at the returns, they lost 78 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: a lot of money, a ton of money. And during 79 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: the same period of time, had they just put it 80 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: into the Dow Jones index, where the average stock market index, 81 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 3: they would have made three point six billion dollars. So 82 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 3: the total loss is well above three billion dollars of 83 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 3: taxpayer funds, and that means that the taxpayers are now 84 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: on the hook to make up those losses. This is 85 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: as bad as Bernie Madoff, where they were cooking the books. 86 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: Here they literally took on these high risk investments and 87 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 3: lead the taxpayers holding three billion dollars worth of losses. 88 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: This has been one of the best stock market climates 89 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: to invent over the last few years, just by investing 90 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: in tech and AI. And they didn't do any of that. 91 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: It went to these Green New Deal companies exactly. 92 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 3: But it gets worse than that. They started these investments 93 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: back in two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, 94 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: at the lowest part of the stock market. Okay, so 95 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: you would think that the investment returns would be amazingly 96 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 3: better because you saw Dow Jones and the S and 97 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 3: T go up by the triple digits triple digits during 98 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 3: the same period of time. Nope, they actually have lost 99 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: billions of dollars during the same period of time. And 100 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 3: so we've called on the investigators because the federal government 101 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 3: is already looking at the Green New Deal scams, and 102 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: I believe that they need to broaden out their investigation 103 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: to look at some of these investment funds that have 104 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 3: lost their shirt. They lost the tax bearers their shirt. 105 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: Before you go the Stanon Williamson situation newsom. 106 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: According to the La Times in the New York times. 107 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: Apparently the FEDS, and this is during the Joe Biden years, 108 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: they were investigating Newsome. That's what they told Williamson. They 109 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 1: wanted to get dirt out of her. They wanted her 110 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: to wear a wire. She said, I don't know anything. 111 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm not wearing a wire. What do you think that's about? 112 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: The investigation into Newsom. 113 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 3: Oh, I'll tell you exactly what it's about. The local 114 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 3: FBI office are made up of civil servants who don't 115 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 3: traditionally get involved in politics. They just look at what's 116 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: going on and they tried it to the bottom of 117 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: whether it violates the law. So the local office of 118 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 3: the FBI agents were pursuing a case that was very clear, 119 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 3: not the district attorney, not the state attorney general. Even 120 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 3: though the Williamson stuff was all out there in the 121 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 3: media and it was gross, it's stunk to high heaven. 122 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 3: The Biden administration could have brought these charges against Williamson 123 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 3: all the way back in the spring of last year, 124 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: but they didn't. They could have brought them in November, January, February. 125 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 3: They did not. It took Trump coming in looking at 126 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 3: what the FBI local office had come up with to 127 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: bring the charges. So what that tells me is, yes, 128 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: there was probably stuff that they could have gone after 129 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 3: newsom on, But the question remains, what have they buried? 130 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 3: What evidence did they decide not to pursue because they 131 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: were told by Biden's team at the time, No, we're 132 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: not interested in going after news all. 133 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: Right, then more to come, I'm sure. Thank you very much. 134 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: Thank you. 135 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: Karl Demiah and he's the Republican state assemblyman down in 136 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: the San Diego area. Now coming up next. Actually I 137 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: want to do a little tease. Why'd you play cut 138 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: number two?

You're 146 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: not going to believe this. 147 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 148 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 4: six forty. 149 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: John coblt Show.

And plus Trump 175 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: cuts some of the spending that they were supposed to 176 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: get and how much funding did you say that Carl 177 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: Demile once investigated for taxpayer funds missing from Newsom three 178 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: billion dollars between money blown and lost opportunities. Now, Santa 179 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: Clara County, that range bell, that's where San Jose is right, 180 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: That's where the forty nine ers play. And it made 181 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,599 Speaker 1: me think back about five years ago, the height of 182 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: COVID when the forty nine Ers had a game on 183 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: NBC Sunday and Night Football and the Santa Clara, Santa 184 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: Clara County government made the announcers Al Michaels and Chris 185 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: Collinsworth wear masks in the broadcast booth even though the 186 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: stadium was empty. There's no fans weren't allowed in the stadium, 187 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: and they were up in the booth many levels above 188 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: the field. And I found a photo of Al Michaels 189 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: and Chris Collinsworth sitting there with those stupid blue hospital 190 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: masks on, and they had a headset microphone and the 191 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: little black microphone balls right, shows up really well in 192 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: front of the blue mask. 193 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 2: And I guarantee they had to take a COVID test 194 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: to get into the building that day. 195 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, to get into the stadium, and it's like 196 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: the people in Santa Clara County are freaking nuts. All 197 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: those counties in northern California, it's like the Marine County town. 198 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: What's the name of that, Tiberan, Tiberan, And they have 199 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: these garbage sorting mandates, except whoever they contracted out to 200 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: collect the garbage throws all the regular landfill trash into 201 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: the same mix as the recycled cans and bottles and 202 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: now the organic waste that you're supposed to separate. But 203 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: if they catch you not separating it, it's a five 204 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: hundred dollars fine. And then the guy they hired throws 205 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 1: it all on into the same bin. They're crazy. And 206 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: then Tipperon was in the news again this week because 207 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: they have banned completely all smoking, not not just the sales, 208 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: but you can't smoke. You can't smoke a cigarette, a cigar, 209 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: you can't have a vaping thing. Uh, I guess crack 210 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: pipes are allowed. 211 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: Oh, crack pipes are around. You can smoke crack and 212 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 2: you can smoke meth. Well it's a joke, but I'm 213 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: very gullible. 214 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: I forgot. But they probably they probably don't enforce the 215 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: crack and the and the myth smoking from the homeless. 216 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: So I think i'd probably right. 217 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 2: In the end. Then I'm not gullible. No, you're not goible. 218 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: Uh So the thing is now I found a story, 219 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: it passed, and two days later later, everybody's fighting over 220 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: the money because law enforcement endorse the tax only after 221 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: they were assured that they would get. 222 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: Some of the money. 223 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: And now they don't want to give the police any 224 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: of the proceeds. So everybody's pissing out. They're fighting over 225 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:18,479 Speaker 1: the tax money. 226 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: So they were cheering, cheering. I knew what you know. 227 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: I just looked at that and I saw cheering a 228 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: tax increase. I think, you know what, They're not paying 229 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: much in tax, they're getting the tax money. These are 230 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: the thieves, these are the parasites. So now in that context, 231 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: play that again. Listen to the parasites cheer more money 232 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: for me and scroll the cops.

Well, I'm gonna find that way. 235 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 2: I don't even want to set foot in that place. 236 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: Those are crazy, but somebody might stop my car and 237 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: force a mask on my face and then steal my wallet. 238 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 2: Well, there are traffic controllers are back to work. You 239 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: could fly. 240 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I'm gonna only fly over Santa Clara County. 241 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: What that whole area there? 242 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: And that's what's really terrible about these new congressional lines 243 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: is people out in eastern California in the rural areas. 244 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: Their congressperson is going to come out of these counties 245 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,239 Speaker 1: because these counties have most of the population. 246 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 247 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 4: six forty. 248 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: The fifteenth annual KFI Pastathon is here.

But it's not the kind of candidate you want. 275 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: It's one of those Democratic Socialists of America candidates DSA. 276 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: And don't be fooled by the word democratic. In fact, 277 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: one of the leaders of the Democratic Party said the 278 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: other day, that's not us. They took the word democratic 279 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: that We've got nothing to do with that party. Okay, 280 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: Basically this is a communist party. So when you see 281 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: DSA Democratic Socialists of America and this is part of 282 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: the game. This is a new version of the communist party. 283 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: And so a communist is running up against Ray well, 284 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: it was running against Karen Bass. And her name is 285 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: Ray Wang say ore A is the first name. It's 286 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: a woman, Wong h u aa. And yeah, she has 287 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: a lot of experience in making money. She's a community organizer. 288 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: You know, before Obama ran I never heard that phrase, 289 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: and I still don't know what it is, but I 290 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: guess people make a living doing this. Well, yeah, because 291 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: they get the nonprofit money. That's the scam they get. 292 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: They get our tax money from the government and then 293 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: they organize the community. So she's a community organizer and 294 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: a minister I don't know what church. And and so 295 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: she announced her campaign in downtown Los Angeles and here's 296 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: her opening statement. This campaign is not about me, It 297 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: is about us, all of us. All Angelina's I'm sorry, 298 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: what right there, She's blown it.

In this new season, 301 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: we are going to be We're going to make affordable 302 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 1: for all. This is government taking over private property and 303 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: telling you how much you could rent your house for. 304 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: We are going to make transit free, safe and fast, yes, 305 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: free buses filled with homeless people, criminals and illegal aliens. 306 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: And we're going to make sure that wages and work 307 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: are dignified. 308 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 2: That's right. 309 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: We're going to set the market for wages. What did 310 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: I see the other day? It was I think it 311 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: was in New York because the Communists in New York 312 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: now have this minimum wage increase, and one of the 313 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: local fast food chains said, well, we can't pay that, 314 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 1: we'll go out of business. So what they did is 315 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: they hired this service out of the Philippines. This is 316 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: for real. I saw this with my eyes. You go 317 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: up to the kiosk at the counter and it's a 318 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: video screen and a woman up on the screen. It 319 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: takes your order, and she's sitting in the Philippines, and 320 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: you give the order and she types it into the 321 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: system and then there's a print out back in the 322 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 1: kitchen and somebody else carries out your food, but she's 323 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: taken the order and you got a credit card. 324 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 2: She's sitting. How far away is the Philippines for New 325 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 2: York City. It's not close. I don't know the mileage, 326 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: but it's not close. 327 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: So the companies figured out a way around this in 328 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: a matter of minutes, and they knew it was coming, 329 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: so they already signed a deal. And now whoever had 330 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: that counter job is out of work. And when Newsom 331 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: signed the minimum wage mandatory increase twenty bucks an hour 332 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: for California fast food and how. 333 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 2: Many jobs have been lost? 334 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: Sixteen thousand, sixteen thousand, and the unions push for this. 335 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 1: I've never had this explain to me. Is push for 336 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: a minimum wage and you end up losing thousands of 337 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: fast food jobs? 338 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 2: What does she do? 339 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: She's deputy director of Housing Now California, a coalition of 340 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: over one hundred and fifty organizations that fights tenant displacement. 341 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,280 Speaker 2: So let me guess somebody buys. 342 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: An apartment building. They're responsible for the maintenance and care. 343 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,959 Speaker 1: It is America, and you charge the rent that the 344 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 1: market can bear. You can't charge them more than they're 345 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 1: willing to pay. And why would you charge them less 346 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:47,679 Speaker 1: so the market people agreed to pay the rent, and 347 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: then they claim, oh, it's not enough to live on. 348 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 2: I want the government to make sure that my rent 349 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: is never raised. 350 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: Well, why don't you move out of the building, or 351 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: move out of the city, or move out of the state. 352 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: If you can't afford a building or a neighborhood or 353 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: a city and get out it's not for you. You 354 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: move to where it's affordable. That's the way it's been 355 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: done since the beginning of time. I don't understand this concept. 356 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: You're not. There's nothing. 357 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: God didn't write a law that says you are entitled 358 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: to an apartment in Los Angeles. 359 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 3: No you're not. 360 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: There's no state law, there's no US constitutional amendment. 361 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: You are entitled to a Los Angeles home. 362 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 4: No you're not. 363 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 2: Can't afford it. 364 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: Hit the road, Go figure out a way to make money, 365 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,440 Speaker 1: be useful. It's all the losers in life that want 366 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: this to. 367 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: I don't have enough money to pay my rent. 368 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: Well, maybe you should have gotten a college degree, or 369 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 1: gotten a college degree that that pays. Not one of 370 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: those uses gender degrees that they were handing out by 371 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,479 Speaker 1: by the thousands a few years ago. You know, all 372 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: those people gender degrees literally have nothing to do, and 373 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: now they've joined you know, they've gone to work Bucks 374 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: or they're working in fast food and they find out 375 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 1: it pays crap and they're demanding their union. You'll force 376 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: new legislation. We want twenty two an hour on twenty 377 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: five an hour. And next thing you know, you got 378 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: replaced by a video image of a girl in the Philippines. Well, 379 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: it's no wonder you're broke and you can't afford your apartment. 380 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: You're stupid, you don't understand economics. And so this is 381 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: the revenge of the stupid, the losers, the talentless, the 382 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: people who don't have any marketable skills in the real world, 383 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: and instead they're all pissed off that other people with 384 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,679 Speaker 1: talents and with skills are making money. It's just like 385 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: the nuttiest period I've ever seen in my life. So 386 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: Ray Wang is going to try to represent those people, 387 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: and I'm sure she'll get some of the vote in 388 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: the primary, but you know what, that'll peel off some 389 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: votes from Karen Bass. So that's a good thing. Karen 390 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: Bass is going to get is going to get squished 391 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: from all sides, and you know what, I will say, 392 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: if she's mayor, I bet your Ray Wang actually stays 393 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: in the country when there's fire warnings, she probably won't 394 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 1: be found in Ghana, Ghana. 395 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 4: Hey, you're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI 396 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 4: AM six forty. 397 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 1: More stimulating talk radio.

Because David's 433 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: anaiser had a story right after the election in the 434 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: LA Times about how they want to pick up these 435 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: extra seats, and he relates that the night Zorn Mom 436 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: Donnie won in New York, they had a big party. 437 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 2: In Highland Park. 438 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: At a bar, the Greyhound Bar and Grill, and everybody 439 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: could see Mamdanni on these oversized TV screens celebrating his victory, 440 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: and Mom Donnie was yelling New York, We're gonna make 441 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: our buses fast and free, shouted the crowd inside the 442 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,560 Speaker 1: LA Bar. So that's what they're gonna be pushing for, 443 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: is free buses here in Los Angeles. This crowd wants 444 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: free bus rides. 445 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 2: Now. 446 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 1: I wouldn't get on the bus. I would rather walk 447 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: from the west side up up the mountain, through the 448 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: Supulvita Pass down the other side in the rain in 449 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: a thunderstorm before I'd get on an LA metro bus. 450 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: Because those things are discussing. They're also largely empty, at 451 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: least the ones on the west side. I watched we 452 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: go down Wilson Boulevard, and I have a game where 453 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: I watch the buses go by, and most the number 454 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: of people on the bus ranges between zero and two. 455 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of these double buses right they're 456 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 1: they're connected by one of those like accordion connection things. 457 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at two buses attached together and between 458 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: zero and two people on them, and it's mostly homeless people. 459 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 1: And this crowd that was cheering Mandani's win in the 460 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: Highland Park bar, they want free busses here. 461 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: So you know, I hadn't never take buses. I looked 462 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 2: it up. I went to the metro site. 463 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: You know what, the price of the bus ride is 464 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: a dollar seventy five. So these are people who can't 465 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: afford a dollar seventy five. Of course they're all drinking 466 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: at the spar I bet you they all had about 467 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: like thirty forty bucks of booze and food that night, right, 468 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: but they a dollar seventy five. I said, well, what, 469 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: why are we gonna Why are we gonna pay those people? 470 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: Why are we going to subsidize their bus ride? I 471 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,520 Speaker 1: don't understand this, and this seems to be the main 472 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: demand that they have is free bus rides. Why so 473 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: there's such losers. Not only do they not own a car, 474 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: I guess they don't own a bike either. They want 475 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: to sit and have somebody else drive them, but they 476 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: don't want to pay for the ride buck seventy five 477 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: they can't afford, and they're gonna dictate policy. 478 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 2: They have coalesced. 479 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: They've created this political party people who had not earned 480 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: enough money to take a bus. But they're out boozing 481 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: all night on election night. So we'll talk more about 482 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: this tomorrow.
