1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Can't. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 2: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt 3 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 2: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. The John Cobelt Show we 4 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,879 Speaker 2: are in every day between one and four o'clock, and 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 2: every day we have apparently hundreds of thousands of people 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 2: who missed the show, but they download the podcast on 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app and they listen to the show online. 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: So that's all great. So you can listen now live 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: on the radio, live streaming, or on a podcast after 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 2: the show at the iHeart app. I want to start 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 2: because this is funny. So this has become really farcial. 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: The Washington d C. Has been a hell hole for decades. 13 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: It should be a gleaming city, right, it should be 14 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: the most beautiful, grand city in America. Everybody from all 15 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 2: over the world comes to see the home of the president, 16 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: I mean, the home of freedom, the leader of the 17 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 2: free world. Right, everything in Washington should look great. But 18 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 2: Congress made a mistake in nineteen seventy three. You know, 19 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: Washington's not a state, it's the District of Columbia and 20 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 2: Washington's government, the DC government is not really in charge. 21 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 2: It's ultimately Congress and the President. But in nineteen seventy three, 22 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 2: they passed something called home rule and they gave Washington DC, 23 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: it's city council and mayor more power, more control. And 24 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: the people who have been on the city council and 25 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 2: in the mayor's office for over fifty years now. It's 26 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: been a fifty two year experiment. It's been a disaster. 27 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: Whoever has been elected has ruined the place. I mean, 28 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: jes you remember you remember Maryon Barry some years ago. God, 29 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 2: that must go back to the nineties. He was Marion 30 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: Barry was a guy and he was He'd start cocaine 31 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: and run around with hookers. There's all kinds of scandals 32 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: and he was there for a while though, like nothing 33 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: slowed him down. It's ever really changed. And after the 34 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 2: government stupidly shut down everything from twenty twenty to twenty 35 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: twenty three, oh, the defund the police movement, that really helped. 36 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,839 Speaker 2: That was a good idea. By twenty twenty three, get 37 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: this Washington DC, because there's so many parallels to Los Angeles. 38 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: It's frightening. 39 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: Washington, d C. 40 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 2: Had not only the highest murder rate of all major 41 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 2: cities in twenty twenty three, it had the highest murder 42 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: rate of any state. You couldn't find a place where 43 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: you were more likely to get murdered, You more likely 44 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 2: to end up with a puddle of blood, a hole 45 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: in your head, zipped up in the body bag, and 46 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: carried off to him. More. If that was your goal 47 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: on any particular day, you go to Washington, DC, and 48 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: if you'll walk around long enough, you'll get your wish. Unbelieve. 49 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 2: And you know what's amazing is is Congress, the President, 50 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 2: all those workers. They have to be there every day, 51 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 2: they have to Many of them lived there, although I guess, 52 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: as we found out, ninety percent of the government workers 53 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 2: in Washington fled during COVID and never came back. So 54 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: maybe they stopped caring. Yet, maybe that explains it. I 55 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 2: hadn't thought of it until this moment. The reason everybody 56 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: was cool with the murder rate going to extreme heights is, hey, 57 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: we don't go there anymore. We don't work there, so 58 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: we don't eat nothing. So Trump says, we're taking over 59 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: the Washington DC Police department. We're going to have we're 60 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: going to have the National Guard, Homeland Security. They're going 61 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: to run things for a while. And oh my god, 62 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: the progressive journalists and politicians squealing like little pigs. Little 63 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: piglets and a pile of mud. Most horrific thing ever 64 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 2: announced by a president that he was going to try 65 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 2: to stop people from getting murdered. Shocking. But there was 66 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: a contingent of people in the media who actually work 67 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: and live in Washington, DC who had alternative views. I 68 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,559 Speaker 2: want to play you a couple of those because you'll 69 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: hear some truth. The first is Kira Phillips, an ABC 70 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 2: News anchor who describes and this was on ABC News Live, 71 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: describes how she was jumped in Washington, DC. 72 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 4: We've been talking so much about the numbers, and yeah, 73 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 4: usually that's how you played Devil's Advocate as you talk about, oh, 74 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 4: stats say crime is down. However, I can tell you 75 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 4: firsthand here in downtown DC where we work, right here 76 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: around our bureau, just in the past six months, you know, 77 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 4: there were two people shot. One person died literally two 78 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: blocks down. 79 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 3: Here from the bureau. 80 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: It was within the last two years that I actually 81 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 4: was jumped walking just two blocks down from here. And 82 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: then just this morning one of my coworkers said her 83 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 4: car was stolen a block away from the bureau. So 84 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 4: we can talk about the numbers going down, but crime 85 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 4: is happening every single day because we're all experiencing at 86 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: firsthand while working and living down here. 87 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 2: The numbers are fake. I'll get into that later. Those 88 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: are fake numbers, of course they are. It's like the 89 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 2: numbers in la are fake. That's the game that the 90 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 2: progressives play now here. Is one of the most discredited 91 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: TV personalities Joe Scarborough, who hosts Some More morning show 92 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: on MSNBC, and he is a very bizarre character because 93 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: when Joe Biden was running for reelection and everybody saw 94 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 2: that his brain had turned to oatmeal, Scarborough said, because 95 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: Scarborough constantly had political guests on Democrats who said, no, 96 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: Joe is fine, Joe is sharp, Joe's got a lot 97 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 2: of energy. I just saw Joe the other day. He's 98 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: really with it. And then Scarborough released some truth one 99 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: day and said, actually, all the guests we have on 100 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: who say that Biden is sharp and ready to go 101 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: every day he goes. They say that publicly on our show, 102 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: but privately, when the cameras are off, they look at 103 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 2: me and say, Joe, it's really bad. He's really gone. 104 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: And Scarborough admits this on the air. Then, bizarrely, when 105 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 2: Biden took his belly flop during the debate. Scarborough went 106 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: on the next day and claimed that the current version 107 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden is the best version. This is the 108 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: best version. He's sharp and he's healthy and I so wait, 109 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: he said, you're the guy who said that all the 110 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: guests on your show are lying. I don't understand these people. 111 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: But now Scarborough has gone back to his old self, 112 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: and here he talks about Washington d C reporters who 113 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 2: on his show or on Twitter denounced Trump for taking 114 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: over the police department, but privately they praised Trump. 115 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 5: This is an interesting thing where I'll hear you know, 116 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 5: I actually heard a reporter heard from a reporter when 117 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,239 Speaker 5: this has happened, going well, you know, if he doesn't overreach, 118 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 5: this is actually a good thing for quality of life, 119 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Because d C right now, 120 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 5: I had this happened to my family, and I had 121 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 5: that they go down the list, and then saw him 122 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 5: tweet something completely different. So DCENT, there has been a 123 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 5: problem in these It's not as bad as it was 124 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 5: two or three years ago, but it's not as it's 125 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 5: not as safe as Manhattan it's not as safe as 126 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 5: the nation's capital should be. By the way, dear, for third, 127 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 5: I've lived in DC for thirty two years. I can 128 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 5: go chapter and verse if you'd like me to. 129 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: He also went on to say that lifelong Democrats in 130 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: Washington are worried about their safety. He read a message 131 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: from one of these liberals who refused to walk outside 132 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: past eight pm, whose friends had been carjacked or shot at, 133 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: and said, it's a change from a decade ago. And 134 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 2: Scar said, I guarantee you this is a person that 135 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: has never voted for a Republican in their life. This 136 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 2: isn't imagined. People. You know people you know that I 137 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 2: know that they love. They and their friends don't feel 138 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: safe in Washington, d C. And that's why Trump yesterday 139 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: addressed the reporters and said, stand, you tend to be 140 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: on the liberal side, but you don't want to get 141 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 2: mugged and raped and shot and killed. And you all 142 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: know people and friends of yours that that happened. And 143 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: so yeah, because we live in a media culture of 144 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 2: nearly total propaganda regarding anything Trump does, all these people 145 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 2: sit at home and talk to each other about how 146 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: awful it is out there. And then when Trump says, 147 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: all right, we're gonna send in We're gonna send in 148 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 2: federal law enforcement to help. Oh my god, he's hitler, 149 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 2: he's a fascist. There's a oh my what. 150 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 3: They're insane. 151 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: They're the ones getting shot at, they're the ones getting jumped, 152 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: they're the ones getting attacked, and Trump is agreeing with 153 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: them and try to do something about it. And then 154 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: they go on TV and they go on to Winner 155 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 2: and lie about it and call them all kinds of names. 156 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: What is wrong with everybody? Now when we come back 157 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 2: Part two of this, and this is very parallel to 158 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: Los Angeles, is all the homeless people, all the disgusting 159 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,199 Speaker 2: things we've had to endure every day of our lives 160 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 2: for ten years now since this progressive crowd took control 161 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: and Trump is just going to get rid of them. 162 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 2: And it's very simple. And I'm going to play a 163 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: clip from the Press Secretary Caroline Levitt and what she 164 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 2: says is what we've been saying here for a long time, 165 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: and it's the only solution, it's the only way to 166 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: handle it.

What 185 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,319 Speaker 2: has that feel? Huh has that feel to have a 186 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 2: semi naked vagrant on your back?

Oh, 189 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 2: here's here's another one before I get into the homeless situation. 190 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: Another writer, uh Noah Rothman. He writes for a number 191 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 2: of publications. This was in the Spectator dot com and 192 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: uh he wrote his one of many brushes with crime. 193 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: He says, I'm stopped at a red light on a 194 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: Saturday afternoon, waiting to glide into a parking lot in Washington, 195 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:33,559 Speaker 2: d C. When a loud crack suddenly deafened me. So 196 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 2: he's sitting there waiting to turn into a parking lot 197 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 2: and suddenly a sound so loud he couldn't hear for 198 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: a moment, out of the corner of my eye, I 199 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 2: saw a bullet sized wound in my windshield. And that's 200 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 2: what it was. It was a bullet that went through 201 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: the windshield. The two Metropolitan Police Department officers who who 202 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 2: showed up after my nine to one one call didn't 203 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: show up for half an hour. The nearest station was 204 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 2: a two minute walk, so they could have been there 205 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 2: in thirty seconds. They gestured toward my broken windshield. I know, 206 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 2: I gestured toward the windshield and I asked them, you know, 207 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 2: is that a bullet And they said, yeah, your car's 208 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 2: been shot at. But all we can do is record 209 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: the incident. If they wanted, I could ask apartment buildings 210 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 2: and businesses nearby for security footage, and this guy, Noah Rothman, 211 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: could report back to the police once he got the 212 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: security footage together, and then the cops took off. Other 213 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 2: things that happened to Noah Rothman, there was a time 214 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 2: a man on a motorcycle swerved onto the sidewalk to 215 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 2: stare me down. My fiance had to hide behind me. 216 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: The time her cousin was mugged, the time my friend 217 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 2: from college was killed in a hit and run. On 218 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: our way home from the grocery store, we saw a 219 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: high school boy beating up a high school girl as 220 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: their classmates looked on. I called the police and described 221 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: the situation loudly, and that caused the victim and the 222 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 2: culprit to flee. Then he sat outside for an hour 223 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 2: waiting for the cops to show up, and they never did. 224 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: And that's the thing. Many of these crimes are not reported, 225 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 2: are not cataloged because the cops don't show up to 226 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: take the report and to catalog them. They don't do it. 227 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: And that is a purposeful policy to click keep the 228 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 2: crime rate down, guarantee it. Here in LA that kind 229 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 2: of stuff starts with Mayor Bass. There's all kinds of 230 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: tricks that the thickest number, the fakest numbers of all 231 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 2: the numbers are crime numbers in a big city. If 232 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: there's a progressive government, they got more tricks than I 233 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 2: have time on the air. So the numbers are fake. 234 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: The LA Times knows they're fake. All the TV stations 235 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: know they're fake. And it doesn't stop them from amplifying 236 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: the fake numbers and headlining the fake numbers. And that's 237 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 2: the truth and everybody knows it. Oh yeah, yeah, all right. 238 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: Now the homeless situation, that's another thing Trump is getting 239 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 2: rid of in Washington, d C. And you have to 240 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: look to this as a template for what always should 241 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: have been done. It's what I've been talking about for years. 242 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: It's the only way to do it. Here's Caroline Levitt, 243 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: White House Press Secretary. What's going to happen to the 244 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: DC homeless. 245 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 7: The Metropolitan Police Department, with the support of the new 246 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 7: federal agencies who have been surging on the streets of 247 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 7: the District of Columbia, are going to enforce the laws 248 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 7: that are already on the books here in Washington, d C. 249 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 7: For far too long, these laws have been completely ignored 250 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 7: and the homelessness problem has ravaged the city. So DC 251 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 7: Code twenty two thirteen oh seven and DC Municipal Regulation 252 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 7: twenty four to one hundred give the Metropolitan Police Department 253 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 7: the authority to take action when it comes to homeless 254 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 7: encampments encampments, So homeless individuals will be given the option 255 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 7: to leave their encampment to be taken to a homeless 256 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 7: shelter to be offered addiction or mental health services, and 257 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 7: if they refuse, they will be susceptible to fines or 258 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 7: to jail time. Again, these are pre existing laws that 259 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 7: are already on the books. They have not been enforced, 260 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 7: which is part of the reason for this nationalizing of 261 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 7: the federalizing of the National Guard to bring in this 262 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 7: assistance for law enforcement. While we are targeting criminals and 263 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 7: trying to remove criminals off of the streets, we also 264 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 7: want to make DC safe and beautiful, and that remove 265 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 7: involves removing mentally disturbed individuals and homeless encampments as well. 266 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 7: So we will be using these regulations and code that 267 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 7: already exists to clean up our streets. 268 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 2: It's really simple. They have to leave. If they want, 269 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 2: they can go to addiction or mental health treatment. If 270 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 2: they refuse, could be jail. Nothing else you can do. 271 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: Order them to leave, offer them treatment for mental health 272 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: or drugs. They say no, jail, then come back and 273 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 2: ask them again the next day. There is no other 274 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 2: way to do this. Everything else has failed. We've had 275 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: a ten year experiment. We've spent many, many billions of dollars. 276 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: Anybody who says otherwise is part of the scam, part 277 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 2: of the racket. They are among those of their stealing 278 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 2: text money from you. There's no there's no two ways 279 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: about that one either. These are definitive situations here. First 280 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 2: night that they started doing these sweeps, the FBI, the 281 00:17:53,160 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 2: DEA patrol Georgetown on Tuesday night, and then again all 282 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,400 Speaker 2: kinds of agencies, eight hundred and fifty officers and agents 283 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 2: surged across DC eight hundred and fifty. They made twenty 284 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: three arrests, including people wanted for homicide firearms offenses. They 285 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 2: picked up six illegal guns. They arrested people with possession 286 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 2: to intend to distribute narcotics, people who had committed loot acts, stalking, 287 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 2: drunk driving, possession of a high cap magazine, and on 288 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: and on, twenty three arrests for crimes raging from drunk 289 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 2: driving to homicide. This is what you do. It's allahomless. 290 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 2: They go to treatment or they go to jail. You 291 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 2: send it an enormous police force and you just arrest 292 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 2: everybody who's committing any kind of crimes, and you enforce 293 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,919 Speaker 2: any outstanding search warrants. I don't know the way it 294 00:18:54,040 --> 00:19:02,199 Speaker 2: always should have been. Here's another raider named Robbie Suave 295 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: in the Hill dot com. He says, whether crime is 296 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: technically down or up, it's crystal clear that Washington has 297 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 2: too much crime, gang lend shootings, mentally ill people attacking pedestrians, 298 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: flash mobs of teenagers stealing cars, vandalizing convenience stores. But 299 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: yet you can't turn on a news show without some idiot, 300 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 2: corrupt politician squealing about Trump. These guys have been in power, 301 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 2: these progressives, for ten years. Look what they've created. Why 302 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: anyone gives them even ten seconds of consideration. We're just, 303 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 2: you know, a a good chunk of our society is 304 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 2: just flat out stupid and self destructive. And there's no 305 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 2: treatment for that. Nothing you can do. You just simply 306 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,719 Speaker 2: have to do the right thing, the rational thing. And 307 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 2: if they want to scream, let him go scream. Let 308 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 2: them howl at the moon late at night. But we 309 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: don't have to live like this. And in Washington, d C. 310 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 2: They're not going to live like this. Here in La, though, 311 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: we're going to keep living like this because we have 312 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: a moron mayor a collection of morons on the city council, 313 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: and no will from the voters to change that. They 314 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: didn't have it Washington DC either. I'd like to see 315 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 2: what Trump could do to take over this place. Yeah, 316 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 2: maybe he's a dictator. Maybe we need a dictator. Maybe 317 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 2: do we need somebody to bowl over the local government? 318 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: All right, we got more coming up in just a moment. 319 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM 320 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 6: six forty. 321 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 2: After two o'clock. We're gonna have Susan Shelley on from Well. 322 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: She writes for Southern California News Group columnists. She's LA 323 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 2: Daily News, Orange County Register. One of her pieces was 324 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: in the New York Post and she also works at 325 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 2: the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. Got a great column this week, 326 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: you know, Gavin Newsom wants to redraw the congressional districts 327 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: like right now, because he wants to reduce the number 328 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 2: of Republicans representing California in Congress down to three. Right now, 329 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: Democrats make up forty two of the congressional seats out 330 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: of California Republicans nine. Actually it's forty three to nine. 331 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 2: He wants to make it forty nine to three, even 332 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: though over forty percent of the state votes Republican for Congress. 333 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 2: He thinks that Republican voters only deserve six percent of 334 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 2: the seat. And then he squeals like a little girl 335 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 2: about Trump being a threat to democracy. Susan Shelley is 336 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 2: going to come on and talk about that, because as possible, 337 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: this whole thing is going to blow up in Gavin 338 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 2: Newsom's pretty chiseled face. Let's go on. Oh, here's another 339 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 2: here's another crook. You ever heard of La councilman current Price? 340 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 2: Probably not, because he doesn't spend any time doing anything 341 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 2: good for the city. He spends his time finding ways 342 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: to steal money for himself and his wife. I remember 343 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 2: he used to say bad things about us years ago. 344 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 2: So I'm going to relish this. I'm going to enjoy this. 345 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 2: I hold grudges, I don't forget anything, and I enjoy 346 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 2: lashing back at idiots who try to interfere with our program. Here. 347 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 2: Current Price is a city councilman. Now he's all read 348 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: been charged with ten counts of grand theft by embezzlement, perjury, 349 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 2: and conflict of interest. Those charges were two years ago. 350 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,159 Speaker 2: What he would do well, he was teamed up with 351 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 2: his wife, del Richardson. She had a consulting company, Del 352 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 2: Richardson and Associates. So this was a husband and wife 353 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: looting operation. And Del Richardson got one hundred and fifty 354 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 2: thousand dollars in payments from developers right before Current Price 355 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:41,719 Speaker 2: would vote to approve the development project. Isn't that really sweet? 356 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 2: What a lovely couple. So she's got one of these 357 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 2: consulting companies, you know, and they built cities out of money. 358 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: And by the way, cities love getting built. Everybody's in 359 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,719 Speaker 2: on this g All she needs is Current Price and 360 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: other council members to approve the project and then she 361 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 2: gets her money. The perjury charge comes from Price not 362 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 2: listing his wife's income on disclosure forms. Well, of course 363 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: he wouldn't because then they might find out the scamness 364 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 2: going on. They also said the Price committed embezzlement, that 365 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 2: he built the city out of tens of thousands of 366 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 2: dollars by putting Richardson on the city healthcare plan for 367 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 2: five years before they were legally married. He claimed she 368 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 2: was his wife. She wasn't his wife yet, but she 369 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: got paid with city health benefits. We paid for that, 370 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: We paid for those consulting fees that she got, We 371 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 2: paid for healthcare benefits. Well, yesterday prosecutors Nathan Hackman and 372 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 2: his st found more and he got hit with two 373 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: more corruption charges. This would be like the fifth guy 374 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 2: in recent years on the city Council to go to 375 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: jailer prison. Like the fifth there's only fifteen positions from 376 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 2: October twenty nineteen to June twenty twenty. Look at this, 377 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: but wife Dale Richardson was paid about six hundred thousand 378 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: dollars by the city Housing Authority. Six hundred thousand. Now 379 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: where do you get that money from? Well, current Price 380 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 2: voted in favor of a thirty five million dollar federal 381 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 2: grant and a state grant application for two hundred and 382 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 2: fifty two million. You follow this, This Housing Authority applied 383 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 2: for a state grant for two hundred and fifty two 384 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 2: million dollars. Price votes yes. The How's it Authority fills 385 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 2: out a thirty five million dollar federal grant application. Price 386 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 2: votes yes, and Richardson gets six hundred thousand dollars from 387 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 2: housing authority. I guess after all these grants came through, 388 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 2: there was the kickback. How's the Authority went to Price 389 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 2: and say, we'd like your vote, we want it, We 390 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: need these grants. We need these grants because we have 391 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 2: other people who've got their heads in the troth. We've 392 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 2: got other people stealing. They need financing. And he goes, 393 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'll help you. 394 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 3: Uh. 395 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 2: He was somehow full a few hundred thousand dollars to 396 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 2: my wife's consulting firm. Here's another one. Price wrote emotion 397 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 2: to give La Metro that's that's a useful operation La 398 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: Metro thirty million dollars between October twenty twenty and October 399 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, thirty million dollars. Well, look at that. 400 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: His wife, del Richardson was paid two hundred thousand dollars 401 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 2: by Metro over the exact same time period. Wow, so 402 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 2: she would get a kickback. He votes for a state 403 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 2: grant for the City Housing Authority, she gets a kickback. 404 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 2: He votes for a federal grant for the City Housing Authority, 405 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 2: she gets a kickback. He rites and votes for an 406 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: LA Metro payment, she gets a kickback. He puts her 407 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 2: name on the city healthcare program, even though they're not married. 408 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 2: And then there were all these development projects, and before 409 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 2: he would vote to approve the development projects, she would 410 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: get a kickback. So now we're talking about twelve charges 411 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: of corruption against Price. This was actually triggered after a 412 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 2: Time's investigation that Price had repeatedly cast votes that affected 413 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 2: housing developers and other companies who just by chance happened 414 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 2: to be clients for his wife's consulting firm. This is 415 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 2: except there's probably, you know, of five, six, seven more 416 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 2: people in the council you could lay the same charges on, 417 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 2: and god knows how many dozens of assembly people and 418 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 2: state senators. This is all they do. This is their 419 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 2: reason to exist, is to find ways to steal tax money. 420 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 2: And if they have to use family members and fake 421 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 2: consulting companies, go right ahead. Current Price as lawyers are 422 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 2: arguing that well, many of the votes described in the 423 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 2: criminal complaint were also voted on by an overwhelming majority 424 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: of the council, so Price didn't swing any one decision. 425 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 2: Do you believe this? Do you believe? Do you realize 426 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 2: that when you work for one of these city agencies 427 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 2: or you're a developer, you got to get at least 428 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: eight out of the fifteen votes. You've got to go 429 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 2: and get at least eight people to agree to fund 430 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 2: your city agency or fund your development, which means you 431 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 2: got to give kickbacks to all eight. So, yeah, they 432 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 2: nailed Price, and yeah, other people besides Price voted for 433 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 2: this stuff. They just haven't caught the other guys yet 434 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: or the investigations aren't complete. They're all doing this. I mean, 435 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: you've seen what the city council is, right, you've seen them. 436 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: Do you think they'd let current Price walk away with 437 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 2: all the goodies? They go? What's he getting? What's his 438 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: wife getting? Doing it? Of course they're doing it. This 439 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 2: is the way business is conducted. Because La Times had 440 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 2: one investigation. Of course, most days open the La Times. 441 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: These days, well what were they what are they doing today? 442 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 2: They were, Oh, they had a long article that if 443 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 2: if you're documenting illegal aliens getting arrested in the streets 444 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: by ice. Here's how to uh take the video without 445 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: getting arrested. That was one of the major stories today. 446 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 2: That's mostly what they cover, like how to to record 447 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: deportation arrests. I don't know what they're gonna do with 448 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 2: all those all those videos. But fine, now current price. Well, 449 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm really going to enjoy when he either pleads guilty 450 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 2: or is found or found and convicted uh by a jury. 451 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: Good lord. But hey, you know, keep voting for everybody. 452 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: This is this is working out.

And she's got a story about Newsom's, 461 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 2: you know, plan to redraw the congressional districts so there's 462 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 2: virtually no Republican representation for the state in Congress. Yeah, Okay, 463 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 2: let's just have one party, just one party, because things 464 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 2: are going so well. Well, could be that it blows 465 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: up in his face. So explain what the risks are 466 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 2: coming up?
