1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 2: one to four o'clock, and then after four o'clock John 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 2: Cobelt Show on Demand appears on the iHeart appits the 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 2: podcast version. It's the same as the radio show. Whatever 7 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: you missed, it's there. All right. We're going to continue 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: now discussing Ricardo Lara because the more information comes out, 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: the richer it gets. We just played you the second 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: half of the story done by KGO in San Francisco, 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 2: Stephani Sierra. They did an extensive investigation and they found 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 2: that Ricardo Laura, the insurance Commissioner, has gone on dozens 13 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 2: of trips, many of them paid by taxpayers, to places 14 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 2: like the United Kingdom, Uruguay, Parisda, Bogata, excuse me, Pagoda's 15 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 2: in New Jersey, Bogata, Bermuda, Hawaii, Washington, Singapore, Toronto, Cape Town, Dublin, 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: Costa Rica, Chile, Egypt, Tokyo, Glasgow, Dubai, all supposedly on 17 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: insurance related business. Well that's not true. One of them 18 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: was an LGBDQ political leaders conference. Sorry, just because you're 19 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: a member of that group. You don't get taxpayer paid 20 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: trips and pretend it's an insurance conference. Also a pride 21 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: fest in New York where he was meeting with DJ 22 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: Kitty Glitter. Sorry, you don't get special protection to waste 23 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: our money on that. Let's get Katie grimes on from 24 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: California Globe dot com, which is a great news site, 25 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 2: one of the few that covers Sacramento. Katie, how are you. 26 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 3: Hey, John? Doing well? Thank you? 27 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: Well? We just played we played the whole Channel seven 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: San Francisco story. Wow, we just played like the second 29 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: half of it a few minutes ago where they went 30 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: into the long list of trips. How will not admit 31 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: to anything? You know, the reporter has the receipts, she's 32 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: got the itineraries, the hotel stays, the whole thing, and 33 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 2: they're pretending nothing happened. Is anything going to come of this? 34 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 4: Boy? 35 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 3: You asked such a great question because we know in 36 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: the past, I report all the time on the jumpets 37 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: that these members of the Assembly and Senate take that 38 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 3: are paid for, and I call them junpets because there's 39 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: absolutely no reason that you know, Assembly members need to 40 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: go to Hawaii to have a meeting with lobbyists, right, 41 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: and nothing ever seems to come of those. This is 42 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: far more egregious. I mean, I said in my article, 43 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 3: this is not only an abuse of his office, which 44 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 3: is a constitutional office in the state of California, it's 45 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 3: a fraudulent use of taxpayer funds. There's no getting around it. 46 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: Other lawmakers kind of get around it because the lobbyists 47 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 3: will pay for it, or their you know, their campaign 48 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: committee agreed to pay for it. It's ethically dubious. This is 49 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: blatant and frankly, Kgo did an outstanding job on this 50 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: investigation and left no stone unturned. I suspect someone got 51 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 3: a pretty hot tip on this because Lara has left 52 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: his staff holding the bag for all the meetings that 53 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: he's missed while he's been vacationing in grand places. 54 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: He missed many meetings. Oh yeah, I mean they found 55 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: forty six trips, yeah, and eleven taxpayer paid trips to 56 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 2: places like Bogata, Paris, and Toronto. Right, and they gave 57 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: them a month. Channel seven gave Lara's staff a month 58 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: to own up to this, and they would. 59 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 3: Amazing No, and I think what I pointed out also, 60 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 3: his staff can't identify the business purpose for his trips. 61 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: It was in their story. I highlighted that because that 62 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 3: is you know, that's there's your smoking gun right there. 63 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: If anybody could cover him for him, it would be 64 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 3: his staff. They're either unwilling to or they can't or both. 65 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: I mean, Chownel seven has the receipts, so there's nothing 66 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: you could do. He really was at these hotels, he 67 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 2: really spent this money. I can't believe he blew thirty 68 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars a taxpayer money, because you're right, they 69 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 2: go on these junkets all the time, but they get 70 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: the lobbyist to pay for it. 71 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: Right exactly. It's bad enough when they do go on 72 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: a trip that you know, to a sister city or 73 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 3: in that kind of garbage that they do get taxpayers 74 00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 3: to pay for. This is such, it is so e regious. 75 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,119 Speaker 3: I'm I'm surprised the lawyers haven't contacted him yet. 76 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: Who can investigate this? The attorney general? 77 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 3: Well that's the problem in California. You know, when you've 78 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: got these constitutional officers, all from one party and all 79 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 3: who I say are certainly ethically dubious, all of them. 80 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 3: What's the attorney general going to do. He's not gonna 81 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 3: He's not gonna fry one of his buddies. 82 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: You opened by setting your article at californiaglobe dot com. 83 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: There's seven insurance companies that have either pulled out or 84 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: are restricting policies here. And I just saw my insurance bill, 85 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: car insurance bill, and we pay fire insurance and just 86 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: general insurance. Everything is so outrageously high. I just didn't 87 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: believe what I was looking at. I'd never seen numbers 88 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 2: like that before. 89 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, same with mine. Just unbelievable. My husband calculated and said, 90 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 3: our homeowner's insurance has gone up one hundred and fifty 91 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: percent in just a couple of years. Yeah, I mean 92 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: it's and the thing that they point out is what 93 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: we've been getting hit time and time again with either 94 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 3: these massive spikes in our insurance premiums or getting canceled altogether, 95 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 3: like some of the Pacific Palisades homeowners had. I'm up 96 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 3: in Sacramento County, in Amador County. People in Amador County 97 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: are getting their fire insurance canceled. He's off vacationing, and 98 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 3: you know I did point out he did finally show 99 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: up for an assembly insurance committee hearing. And I mean 100 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 3: he came prepared. Uh and and he you know, he 101 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 3: did fine, But he was really only talking about handling 102 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 3: claims for the fire victor, you know, in Los Angeles, 103 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: not the big picture. 104 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: Well, there's Republican lawmakers demanding an investigation, but I don't 105 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: see too many Democratic names in these stories here, No, 106 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: are they. Well, they're all going to give them cover. 107 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: I mean, this is blatant, This is egregious. 108 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And I mean, look. 109 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it. He's to me, he's a criminal. 110 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: This he's a grifter, he's a cruc. Well, he's stealing 111 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: tax money to go on luxury vacations doing no business 112 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: or doing business. That's nonsense. 113 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: Well, and what I point out also is that when 114 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: when lawmakers take these junkets, the way they've they've gotten 115 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 3: around it is and I reported on another one last week, 116 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: they'll give a fifteen minute speech somewhere or. 117 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: So we're told that was the Bermuda trip. Fifteen minutes. 118 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that and we had a lawmaker you know, 119 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: do that also with a ccpoa trip. Yeah, fifteen minute 120 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 3: speeches here and there. Well, we don't know if they 121 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 3: really happened or not, And I'm sorry, a fifteen minute 122 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 3: speech is not justification for a trip to Hawaii. 123 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: Even if they did it, it's garbage. Even if they spoke, 124 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 2: I don't care if they spoke for an hour or 125 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: two hours. You know, there's there's Zoom, their's satellite. You 126 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 2: don't have to you don't have to fly to Bermuda 127 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: to spew fifteen minutes of cliches and platitudes. 128 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 3: Exactly. And if you flip the tables picture this. Imagine 129 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 3: if this was a Republican insurance commissioner, they would have 130 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 3: forced him. 131 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: Out office by now. They would have been criminal charges 132 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 2: against him. 133 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, exactly. 134 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, but the public, we don't have 135 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 2: any recourse, do we. We have to sit and wait 136 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: for Newsom or the Attorney General Rob Bonta to do 137 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: the right thing, the obvious thing, and pressure him out 138 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 2: of office, or you know, threaten a massive investigation that 139 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 2: could end with criminal charges and maybe that'll get him 140 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 2: to leave. This guy should be treated like a criminal. 141 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: I know. Well, look at the last time we actually 142 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: were able to get rid of some corrupt politicians in 143 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 3: our state house, I think it was twenty fourteen, when 144 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 3: we had the senator who perjured himself, the senator who 145 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 3: was doing dirty deals bribery with the FBI, and then 146 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 3: the senator who sold rocket launchers to Muslim separatists in 147 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 3: the Philippines. 148 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: That's what you have to do to get kicked out, apparently, 149 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: so you gotta sell rocket launchers. Yeah, exactly, I remember 150 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 2: that story. All right, all right, Katie, Well that was 151 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 2: a great one.

John. 155 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 2: Oh, this is just this is so nuts. This guy, 156 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 2: this guy, this guy, Ricardo Laira stole thirty three thousand 157 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 2: dollars of our money and lived the high life and 158 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 2: rob Bonta and knew. Some were doing nothing about it. 159 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 2: It's like, well, he's our criminal, we'll protect him, and 160 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: they hope it goes away. We're not gonna let this 161 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 2: stuff go away. Oh and we still don't know what 162 00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: started the palasation. 163 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 5: I'm gonna ask you if you knew that yet. 164 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: John, No, No, I'm waiting though, I'm waiting.

Ricardo Lara, the insurance Commissioner, has gone on 176 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:07,959 Speaker 2: forty six trips since he became insurance commissioner, eleven fully 177 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 2: funded taxpayer trips to places like Bogatah and Paris, Chili 178 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 2: fourteen thousand dollars requests to go to Chile. He called 179 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: it mission critical. What is mission critical for an insurance 180 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: California Insurance commissioner to go to ChIL This is theft. 181 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: Lara missed eight of fourteen state hearings. He missed seven 182 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:40,479 Speaker 2: of nine general information hearings before the Senate Insurance Committee, 183 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: and the governor had issued a letter to all state 184 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: agencies in January warning, because of the budget deficit, to 185 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: reduce travel expenses. After Ricardo Lara got the memo, he 186 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: took fifteen more. 187 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 5: Trips Mission critical. Is that what you said? 188 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 2: Mission critical to go to Chile on California insurance issues. 189 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: This is arrogant, obnoxious, in your face criminal behavior. And 190 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 2: Newsome allows this, and rob Bonte allows this. Otherwise they 191 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: should publicly announce that that Lara is going to be 192 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: investigated for fraud. This is this is theft of tax money, 193 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 2: enforcement of office at the very least. Actually, you ought 194 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 2: to be investigated and go to jail. I yeah, let's 195 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: go for it. Let's put one of these guys in prison. 196 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: For a Mexican prison is even better. Why not thirty 197 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars? God, we all don't go to work 198 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 2: every day so that Ricardo Lara can live like a 199 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 2: fancy rich guy. I'm sure he's one of these guys 200 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: who denounced the wealthy. I'd love to go and look 201 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 2: at all his public comments. I'm sure he's always ripping 202 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 2: on the wealthy. Guys who do that. Like I mentioned before, 203 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 2: they're losers, they're angry, jealous, bitter losers. He doesn't have 204 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 2: any talents to make this kind of money in the 205 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 2: private sector to afford forty six trips and travel around 206 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: the world. He doesn't. He can never make that kind 207 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: of money, So he's got to become a public official 208 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,079 Speaker 2: and steal the tax money. They're losers, and then they 209 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: carry out all day about the wealthy. All right, here's 210 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: some more criminals, and this is great, boy, they you 211 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 2: know what, all this stuff could have been done under 212 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: Joe Biden, But the Biden administration embraced all these violent 213 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 2: gang members Trump administrations arresting them and putting them in prison. 214 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: One of the top MS thirteen leaders, Marisalvatricia El Salvador, 215 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 2: and the top leader for the East Coast, one of 216 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: the top three in the entire country. And he got arrested. 217 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: And the terrorist has not been identified. Oh no, yes 218 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 2: he has when I heard the report a couple of 219 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: hours ago. Now they've given him a name, Henry Joshua 220 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: Vilettro Santos, twenty four year old illegal alien from El Salvador. 221 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: They got him in Virginia, in Dale City, Virginia. And 222 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: here is our new FBI head, Cash Bittel, talking about it. 223 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 4: This is what happens when you let good cops be cops, 224 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 4: and we're going to continue to let good cops be 225 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 4: cops across this country. President Trump gave us the executive 226 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 4: decision to go after and safeguard our communities. General BONDI 227 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 4: is our worry of justice leading that charge. Governor Youngkin, 228 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 4: It's an honor to be a partner in this operation 229 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 4: with you and US Attorney Seabird. This is the mandate 230 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 4: we have right now. We have an American dying every 231 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 4: seven it's from a drug overdose. That is a national 232 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 4: security crisis we have not seen ever before. We have 233 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 4: a woman or child being raped every six and a 234 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 4: half minutes in this country. We have a homicide twice 235 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 4: an hour. No part of that metric is as safe 236 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 4: and secure America. But thanks to the brave leadership of 237 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 4: this administration and the folks that you see here, we 238 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 4: are returning our communities to safety. 239 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: Glenn Youngkin, Virginia Governor. He said, Virginia is not a 240 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: sanctuary state. In any town that claims sanctuary status absolutely unacceptable. 241 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: We have one of the top three operatives from the 242 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: most dangerous gang in America living around the corner, and 243 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: your sanctuary cities want to give refuge to them. It's 244 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: time to recognize Virginia is not a sanctuary state. We're 245 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: looking to get the bad guys out of here. And 246 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: if you're with a local jurisdiction and you're not helping 247 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: us and not cooperating with us, you're working against the 248 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 2: safety of all the men and women that call your 249 00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: jurisdiction and home. Counties that don't operate with ICE will 250 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 2: defund them, referencing Fairfax County that's a strong Democratic county. 251 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: They consider themselves a sanctuary. Well, that's what ought to happen. 252 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 2: Cities states ought to be defunded. Gavin Newsom is ought 253 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: to be laying down the law here in California. Ought 254 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 2: to tell Karen Bass she's going to be defunded if 255 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 2: she doesn't stop this sanctuary city nonsense. How many MS 256 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: thirteen guys do you think live here? In fact, I 257 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 2: think the US branch of MS thirteen started in Los 258 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: Angeles because of all the feeble morons that have been 259 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 2: running the city for so many years. You said this 260 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 2: guy was twenty four years old, and he's already the 261 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 2: top guy on the East Coast for MS thirteen. Yes, 262 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: how old do you think he was when he joined? 263 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: Could be thirteen? I know, I know. It's just crazy 264 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 2: that he's so young and already at the top. He 265 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 2: was an up and comer, clearly, and how many people 266 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 2: do you think he had to kill to prove that 267 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 2: he deserved to be on the top. Yeah, that's a 268 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: good point of Maricel Latrusha. Yeah. But here in La 269 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: thanks to Caard Bass, somebody like this guy, we'd be 270 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 2: given sanctuary. The police wouldn't be allowed to help with 271 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,640 Speaker 2: ice to arrest him. Yeah, that's that's a civilized way 272 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: to run a city. 273 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 274 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 6: six forty. 275 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: Around every day from one until four and then after 276 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. 277 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 2: You listen you show, yes and today and yesterday. We 278 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 2: did a lot on Ricardo Lara, this insurance commissioner who's 279 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 2: got on almost four dozen trips, many of them we 280 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 2: got charged. We paid thirty three thousand dollars for a 281 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 2: number of the trips. Others were paid with bribes from 282 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 2: whoever sponsors the junkets in the insurance industry. That's really 283 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 2: what they are anyway, he doesn't show up at most 284 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 2: of the meetings that they hold in Sacramento. On insurance, 285 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 2: the industry is a mess. More than half the insurance 286 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 2: companies have either pulled out or severely restricted policies. Prices 287 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: are through the roof. A lot of people don't have coverage, 288 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: or they have coverage with the California Fair Plan, which 289 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 2: is very limited in what they pay out. That no 290 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: state has a bigger insurance mess, and it's run by 291 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 2: this nut who spends most of his time flying around 292 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: all over the world, Africa, South America, every it's Karen Bass. 293 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 2: I can't Two of the big stories we did today 294 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: is a detailing Karen Bass's trip. They found La Times 295 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: just got texts she was texting to her staff from Africa. 296 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 2: We got Ricardo Lara flying off to forty six different cities. 297 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 2: This is what they do. I don't know why you 298 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 2: don't get it. Why don't people get it. They're all grifters, 299 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: they're crooks. They're not in it to serve you, to 300 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 2: do good. They're not going to rebuild your town. They 301 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 2: want to travel around. They're selfish people, narcissists, maybe one day. 302 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: Speaking of the fire, remember Paradise, California, twenty eighteen, it 303 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: was almost completely destroyed by fire, another one started by 304 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: an electrical utility. That was the That was a PG 305 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,879 Speaker 2: and E special, you know PG and E, which also 306 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: spends a lot of money on Newsom and his wife 307 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 2: man when they destroy a city it's nearly complete. Well, 308 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: the Paradise mayor, Steve Crowder, came to the Los Angeles 309 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: area to talk to realtors on what's it like trying 310 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 2: to rebuild a city that suffered that much devastation Because 311 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: in Paradise lost nineteen thousand homes and buildings. Eighty five 312 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: people died. And this was the California Association of Realtor's 313 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: form and the subject was reconstruction. Well, since he's lived 314 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 2: through it and is living through it, you know what 315 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 2: he told everybody. And I bring this up because we 316 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 2: have to endure Karen Bass's raw raw about stay strong, LA, 317 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 2: go forward, LA. Well, here's the reality. Steve crowd Or, 318 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 2: the mayor of Paradise, says it's going to take about 319 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 2: twenty years to rebuild his city. Now they're eighty seven 320 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: miles north of Sacramento. Six years have passed. Reconstruction is 321 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: only about one third done. They lost nineteen thousand homes 322 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 2: in building buildings. They built a little over three thousand 323 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: and six hundred multi family units, and on average they 324 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: built another three hundred and fifty to five hundred homes 325 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 2: a year, so you could see it is going to 326 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 2: take twenty years. The city is well. The town it 327 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: was twenty six thousand people now it's twelve thousand. And 328 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: After Crowter gave a speech, or reporter asked him, how 329 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: did the people from the Palisades and Outda Dina react 330 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: when you told him it's going to take twenty years, 331 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: And he said, I think they were a little shocked. 332 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: You need to be honest with them and tell them 333 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 2: what the challenges are that they're facing, and let him 334 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 2: make the decisions they need to make. And that's it. 335 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 2: Nobody's honest. It's just LA strong, La forward. Yeah, raw, Raw. 336 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 2: They don't talk about the truth. Here's some of the 337 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: problems pre fire up in Paradise. They were building at 338 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 2: about two hundred dollars a square foot. Overnight we went 339 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: up to about three hundred and fifty of square foot, 340 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 2: which is really cheap by LA standards. Lack of contractors, 341 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 2: lack of building materials. They're going to find the same thing. 342 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 2: There's only so many people who can build a house. 343 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: There's only so many people you want to build a house. 344 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 2: People had insurance coverage. They were insured for two hundred 345 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 2: to square foot. Now the costs have almost doubled, and 346 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: a lot of this is just government imposed nonsense. You 347 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 2: see how they fouled up the insurance industry. Well. Finding 348 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 2: insurance coverage is one of the big problems for Paradise. 349 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 2: Building the homes the right way to survive a future fire. 350 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 2: That's expensive, construction costs out of control. Newsom temporarily waived 351 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: the state building code that required that rebuilt homes have 352 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 2: solar panels, but that backfired for people who wanted solar 353 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: because they're insurance would only pay for the required upgrades, 354 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 2: which means they couldn't get reimbursed for installing panels. How 355 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: do you like that? Theres Some tries to give people 356 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 2: a break by saying, hey, you don't have to do 357 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 2: solar panels, which means if you do want solar panels, 358 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 2: insurance won't cover it. Come on, I just knew some 359 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 2: didn't think that one through. I mean, you have to 360 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 2: put in some kind of requirement that the insurance companies 361 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 2: do it. But hey, ask Ricardo Lara, and he's in 362 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: South America or South Africa. Another story. And I'm wondering 363 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 2: if you were a part of this group in Woodland Hills, 364 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 2: a homeowners group sued to block a new in and 365 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: out from being constructed.
