I picked out a few 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 1: things that happened while I was gone that really irritated me. 12 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,160 Speaker 1: That was one of them. Last half hour he went 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: through her cutting half the shelters. She's not funding the 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: animal shelters, and so lots of dogs are going to 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: get euthanized. So Bass has gone from burning down certain 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: community he's in Los Angeles to the killing dogs and 17 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: I guess cats too, right, We got our. 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: Cat there, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits. 19 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: Right, So she's gonna kill cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and 20 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: possibly burn down your neighborhood. That's the mayor. We have. 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. 22 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's quite true. 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: John. You know, you get fair and balanced news here. 24 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 3: That's John Cobel saying that's the not me, the newsperson. 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: I could always tell when you start giggling though. Vancouver, 26 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: a terrible thing happened Saturday letting people got killed dozens 27 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: more injured when a crazy guy plowed into the crowd 28 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: at a street fair. The thing is that police were 29 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: well aware that he was a crazy guy. Of course 30 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: he was loose, and of course he was driving a car, right, 31 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: which is a pretty good sized weapon. Let's get Alex 32 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: Stone for Maybec News to explain what happened and why 33 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: this happened. Alex, John, welcome back, miss thank you. Good 34 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: to have you back. I missed you too well. Thank you. Yeah. 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: So police in Vancouver they believe that the number of 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: dead may go up. There. There were dozens who were injured, 37 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: some are still critically injured right now, but they say 38 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: at last tup date, eleven victims were killed. Five to 39 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: sixty five years old. That this Filipino street festival was 40 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: underway Saturday night. Around eight o'clock, blackouty suv comes racing 41 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: through the crowd down the closed street. There wasn't a 42 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: lot closing off the street, you know, not dump trucks 43 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 1: that sort of thing that you see in a lot 44 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: of cities now where somebody can't get through them because 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 1: they're weighting their size. But this black gouty was able 46 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: to get in and victims were flying being rammed by 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: the suv. This guy telling our team he was working 48 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: in a food truck cleaning up at the end of 49 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: this Filipino festival when it all unfolded, and he couldn't 50 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: believe what was going on. At the beginning of it. 51 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: I was cleaning up too many es up the day 52 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: I hear them, yeah, bang, I mean I see through 53 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: the window. I saw the bunch. Oh my right, go 54 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 1: and see these guys. It's so bad. And he could 55 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: see the bodies everywhere, so we know today John, one 56 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: of the victims killed, was a teacher who was also 57 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: a school counselor. The school district confirmed that today. The 58 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: youngest victim was five year old Katie Lee, who died 59 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: with her father Richard and mother Lynn, her sixteen year 60 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: old brother, and their son. Is now left without a mom, 61 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: a dad, or a sister. He decided not to go 62 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: to the event, and now his entire family is gone 63 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: and the BLACKOUTI this was a food truck line street, 64 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: just like any festival that would be going on now. 65 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: A thirty year old guy, kai Ji Adam Lowe is 66 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: his name underrest. Police say he does not have political 67 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: or ideological motives. They don't know what the motive actually was, 68 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: but it was not something that would be under the 69 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: category of terrorism. Evidence in this case does not lead 70 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: us to believe this was an act of terrorism. So 71 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: he's been known, as you mentioned, John to police that 72 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: he has a long history of run ins with the law, 73 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: but a lot of it has to do with mental 74 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: health issues that he's had over the years, and they 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: think that that may have played a role. He's been 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: charged right now with second degree murder the way it's 77 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: done in Canada. Then it may be upgraded at some 78 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: point as they go through his phone and look at 79 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 1: his social media if they decide to go at first degree, 80 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: so the charges could get even more serious. But police 81 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: saying the actions of a single person shattered our collective 82 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: sense of safety and he was detained by bystanders who 83 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: held him until police could get to him and there's 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: a guy on social media video that is said to 85 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: be low looks like Low wearing a hoodie being held 86 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: down after all of this, saying I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 87 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: So that may come into play with the mental health. 88 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: But we've seen it in New Orleans on New Year's Day, 89 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: We've seen it in Wisconsin at a Christmas festival a 90 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: while back, Germany. All over the world there have been 91 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: these ramming attacks and that is a big concern for 92 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: law enforcement here in the US and around the world. 93 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: So easy with just a vehicle that and we saw 94 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: the LAPD ramp things up over the weekend at a 95 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 1: festival that was going on. But if you leave any 96 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: way for somebody to drive, either accidentally or on purpose 97 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: a vehicle into a large crowd, that threat is going 98 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: to be there. So it's more and more of putting 99 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: cement trucks and dump trucks and bullards the metal or 100 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: concrete poles in the way of where people would be. 101 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: And in this case, just like in New Orleans where 102 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: the bullets were down in New Orleans, in this case 103 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: it was just a street not completely blocked off, and 104 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: a vehicle is able to get in. Do you know 105 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: if he was Filipino too, seems like his name. I 106 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: don't know, Yeah, I don't know his ig Adam Low. Yeah, 107 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he was targeting Filipinos. No, they don't think. 108 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: They don't see it as a hate crime right now. 109 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: But they say that they have not figured out what 110 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: caused him to do it in the moment. They do 111 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: think mental illness comes into play. But but why then 112 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: and then his whole I'm sorry, I'm sorry. They don't 113 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: know no details on the extent of his mental illness, 114 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: and how many times they tried to know. Yeah, I 115 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: mean it's everything's done a little differently in Canada of 116 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: releasing information, and right now they're not putting a lot 117 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: of that out. All right, Alex, thank you for coming on. 118 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: You got it. Sounds good, Alex Stone, when we come back. 119 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: Karen Bass actually gave a state of the City speech 120 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: when she was announcing these massive budget cuts in including 121 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: the potential murdering of God. It could be hundreds of 122 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: dogs and cats because they're closing half the animal shelters 123 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: in LA. What else did they have at the animal 124 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: shelter any other You said, guinea pigs? 125 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: The guinea pigs probably rabbits. 126 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: Oh, she's gonna be killing rabbits. I wonder if she 127 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: does this herself. Is she in charge of me? 128 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: I don't think she. Uh, you know what, this is 129 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 3: really kind of a terrible thing. But I have not 130 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 3: done the research because I probably don't really want to know. 131 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 3: But I'm really now kind of curious how they euthanize 132 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 3: animals these days, and if they do it humanly. 133 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: I have a friend if she's worked as a veterinary 134 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: assistant for a long time, and it's a type of 135 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 1: gas chamber. 136 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 2: They just throw them all in one. 137 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: They just put them in a No, I think they 138 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: have a machine. I'd have to ask years ago. 139 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: That's not humane. 140 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: No, it's not. 141 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 3: No, Because when I've taken my dogs to the vet 142 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: and I've had to put them down right because they 143 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 3: were really ill and it was time. Well, it's an injection, right, 144 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: and they I don't know, maybe I made that up. Well, 145 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: that's what I'm really curious about that I. 146 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 1: Remember her telling me this, that they had kinds some 147 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: It sounded to me it's an old memory, so it 148 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: sounded to me like it was. 149 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 3: I kind of remember something like that. I don't know 150 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: if I ever if I don't know if that's really true. 151 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: Uh, that could be from a time where they were 152 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: less sensitive about it. But but I think an injection 153 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: would be is. 154 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 2: That's much more humane. 155 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: Well, you know death is death in the end. 156 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but we don't want not people, but we don't 157 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: want animals. There's no reason that they have to suffer. 158 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: No, they shouldn't. But look, I wouldn't cut the budget. 159 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: I double the number of shelters. 160 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely, there's other things that you can cut. 161 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: I am sure I'd. 162 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: Be cutting that homeless budget. You know, those people have 163 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: to figure things out on their own. After after we 164 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: we've given them like ten years and enough, let's start 165 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: saving the dogs and cats when we come back. Well, 166 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: there's lastly a lot to do. Oh oh, and today 167 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: Trump celebrated its first hundred days in office by lining 168 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: the White House lawn with the month shots of illegal 169 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: alien criminals. It's quite a photo. If you've seen this, 170 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: you should go look for it. 171 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 172 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 4: six forty. 173 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: Karen Bass last week gave a State of the City 174 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: of speech, talked about this new budget, which, by the way, 175 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: she's entirely responsible for because she gave huge raises to 176 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: most of the unions. She did exactly what idiot Antonio 177 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: Viragosa did about fifteen seventeen years ago, exactly the same thing, 178 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: gave huge raises. Yeah, it was probably was two thousand 179 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: and eight, because then we had the big mortgage meltdown 180 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: and the economy ground to a halt. Tax revenues went 181 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: in the pooper and bassid Via Grosse had just given 182 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: that huge raises and so the city went broke. Now 183 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: the city's going broke again because this time Karen Bass 184 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: gave huge raises. And so you know, she shouldn't show 185 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: her face after she allowed the Palisades to burn, after 186 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: she defunded the La Fire Department by half. God, I mean, 187 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: how do you get up in the morning and like 188 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: address the city after you've destroyed thousands of homes. They're 189 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: still still they wouldn't explain what started the fire. Still 190 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: we've got no information on how bad the response was 191 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: and why it was bad. Still this is now, uh 192 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: will be four full months next week. She's saying that 193 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: the speed of the recovery efforts record breaking because they 194 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: restored you, they restored utilities, far faster than other California fires. Yeah, 195 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: your electricity is back. You just don't have a house. Idiot, 196 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: Now get this. She called on the city council to 197 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: make rebuilding easier by waiving fees for permits and for 198 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: checking building plans. They haven't done that yet. It's four months. 199 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: What do you mean, she called on the city council. 200 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,680 Speaker 1: This should have been done on January the tenth. The 201 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: hell they doing, Tracy Park, the West Side City council woman. Mind, 202 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: she made a proposal in January and they haven't done 203 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: it yet because the council says that we're waiting for 204 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: a report on its feasibility. You don't need a report. 205 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: Just wave the fees, stop collecting the money, stop charging people, 206 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: because it's your response, your fault, that the place burned 207 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: down so badly. What should have been a small park 208 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 1: problem was a large problem because you defunded the fire department, 209 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: and now you're charging people for the paperwork to rebuild 210 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: their homes, and four months later, you still haven't waived 211 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: the fee. Wow. Stuart Waldman's president of the Valley Industry 212 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: and Commerce Association, and he says they, meaning the city management, 213 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: did it to themselves. They entered into a bad deal 214 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: with city employees to give them massive raises, and now 215 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: it's coming back to bite us. That's why they don't 216 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: want to waive the thieves for the permit, because they 217 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: need the money to pay the city employees who snuckered 218 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: Karen Bass. Because she's not very bright. Bass actually said 219 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: that confronting homeless is expensive, but leaving people on the 220 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: street comes at an enormous human cost. But it's their fault, 221 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: it's their choices. They've been given enough money and enough chances. 222 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: Why do we have to pay anymore? Why do the 223 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: people whose homes burned down because she defunded the fire department, 224 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: why do they have to pay more homeless tax? The 225 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: homeless start the fires. If a homeless guy started the 226 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: Palisades fire, do you think Karen Bass would ever admit that? 227 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 1: Is that why it's been cut up for four months. 228 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: They know what started it, and they've been floating this 229 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: alternate story that, wow, you know, we think it was 230 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: a fire from a week before. You know, kid's playing fireworks, 231 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: you know kids these days, What if it wasn't. I'm 232 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: really suspicious. They had four months. They kind of have 233 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: a half baked story that they have not fleshed out 234 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: with detail. They just kind of floated it as a 235 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: trial balloon. Well by now they would know for sure. 236 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: What if it's a homeless guy. They defunded the fire 237 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: department to blow a billion and a half dollars on homelessness. 238 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: Then a homeless guy starts the fire, destroys the palisades, 239 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: and now they want more money. She says. The cost 240 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: of doing nothing is not just inhumane, it's also financially unsustainable. Oh, 241 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: it's financially unsustainable to blow a billion and a half 242 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: every year and get no result for it. Boy, is 243 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: she bad at this again? I mentioned this in the 244 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: first hour. I spent the week in Sarasota, Florida. Spent 245 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: the week a weekend a few weeks ago in Charlotte, 246 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: North Carolina. They don't have these problems. You can walk 247 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: the streets, The places open till two in the morning. 248 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: Nobody's afraid to walk the streets and stay out late 249 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: on a Friday and Saturday night and have a good time. 250 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: There are no homeless people dying in the streets. We're 251 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: not responsible for these people. Why do we have to 252 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: live with this birden that no other city is living 253 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: with unless it's run by an idiot progressive. It's the 254 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: progressive religion that brought you all this suffering. The progressive religion. 255 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: Karen Bass is a high priestess in that religion. No, 256 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: I don't have that in Sarasota. I don't have that 257 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: in Charlotte, North Carolina. There aren't homeless people dying in 258 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: the streets, and people get to enjoy life. You mentioned 259 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: walking downtown two in the morning to go to a restaurant. No, 260 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: but nobody can go to downtown LA and enjoy what 261 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: they have down there. They've got a lot of theaters 262 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: and arenas and restaurants. Nobody can go. I can't remember 263 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: the last time any of our friends suggested, Hey, let's 264 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: go drive downtown.

We had to park in a lot 270 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 3: because I'm not going to be walking around those streets. 271 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: No, and that was daytime. 272 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 2: That was yes, ye, yes, that was late morning. 273 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: We had to go to something that we were invited 274 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: to and it was at night and we came out 275 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: of the venue and our life, our car was parked 276 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: in a lot across the street, and there's all kinds 277 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: of sicko mental patients in our way, and my wife 278 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: and I are trying to plot a strategy.

So it was a shoulder bag 336 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: and it had her credit cards, three thousand dollars of cash, 337 00:19:52,119 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: and her passport and it was two guys involved. They 338 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: also have photos of him snatching the bag from under 339 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: her feet at Capitol Burger at eight o'clock at night. 340 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: She was having Easter dinner at Capitol Burger. That's my 341 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 1: that's my kind of woman. I always have to go 342 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: to these you know, frilly sissy restaurants, a Burger place 343 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: for Easter. Yeah. Uh. He stayed at the restaurant until 344 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: about midnight, drinking until he left and fell asleep outside 345 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: at a table. And he remained there till seven thirty 346 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: in the morning. And he also spent money at other places. 347 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: He bought Josh Cabernet Sauvignon wine. This guy had expensive tastes. Well, 348 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: they got him and they got his accomplice, and they 349 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: have him on they have mon video and they have photos. 350 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: In fact, they even have a close up of her purse. 351 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: He's wearing a mask. He's at well, I guess. 352 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: I guess people still do that. 353 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a taxi driver last night coming up 354 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 1: from the airport and he gets out of the car 355 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: to take my bag and he's got a mask, and 356 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, no, I mean that does people with masks 357 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: are such weirdos. My Uber driver this morning from the 358 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: Mechanic was wearing a mask. They've made a comeback. And 359 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if these people are wearing masks for 360 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: health reasons or they're terrorists. You know, you don't know 361 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: why they do this. And he's wearing it only around 362 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: his mouth, not around his nose. 363 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: Well, then it doesn't work exactly. 364 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: I mentioned the Santa Inez Reservoir in the Palisades, right, 365 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: that's the reservoir that was left empty by Karen Bass 366 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: and Genie Qunoniez, who still has her job. One hundred 367 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: and seventeen million gallons was empty for the fire. It 368 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: didn't have a cover on the reservoir, you know, like 369 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: a pool cover. There was some kind of tear. So 370 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: they drained the reservoir over a year ago and they 371 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: never refilled it. Well, they got a new cover, but 372 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: the new cover has a tear, and so they drained 373 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: the reservoir again. 374 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 2: How can the new cover have a tear already? 375 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: It's this is the DWB. It has tears and pinhole 376 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: sized leaks in the floating cover. Leaks things don't leak upwards, 377 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: so they have to drain it again to fix the cover. 378 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: It's going to take another month. While this development is 379 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: a frustrating setback, we're working as quickly as possible to 380 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: return the reservoir to service, said on Selmo Collins, the 381 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,239 Speaker 1: senior assistant general manager who oversees the water system. And 382 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: Selmo Collins should have been fired or been forced to 383 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: resign by now. He's I remember this guy. This is 384 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: the same name that couldn't explain why wasn't repaired last year. 385 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: If he's the assistant general manager and he's overseeing the 386 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: water system, then he knows the whole story from minute 387 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: one while the reservoir was empty. 388 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 3: Why do we need assistant managers anyway? We need that 389 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 3: money to go to this shelters. 390 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: They oh to the animal shelters. Yes, that's good, that's 391 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: a good way. You campaigned by pointing out every waste 392 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: of money. Yes, and this guy in Selmo Collins, that 393 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: is a waste of money. He says that the water 394 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 1: supply of the neighborhood is safe and strong, not if 395 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: there was another fire, but of course there's nothing left 396 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: to burn there on Selmo. It's just it's relentless, and 397 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 1: you could tell they don't care. They absolutely don't care. 398 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: Now it's going to be the middle of June. I 399 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 1: need a vacation. 400 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 2: You just had one. You're not going anywhere. You're not 401 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 2: leaving us Jen for at least a while. 402 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: I have a headache. Everything I came back to gave 403 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: me a headache. I know, all right, what do I want? 404 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: You know? I wanted to get something on the I've 405 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: got too much stuff today, all right? The illegal alien 406 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: mug shots lining the White House lawn. That's next. 407 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI. 408 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: If you missed any of the show today, the podcast 409 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,239 Speaker 1: is getting posted after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on 410 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: demand on the iHeart app. And today was one hundred 411 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: days the Trump was celebrating in office, and they lined 412 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: the White House lawn with one hundred posters, one hundred 413 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: mug shots of illegal aliens that were arrested. Placards had 414 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: in very large type rested at the very top and 415 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: then you could see their faces. And that was that 416 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: was the celebration. They had Tom Holman come out and 417 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: speak to celebrate a ninety six percent drop in illegal 418 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: immigration since Trump took over ninety six percent. And here's 419 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: what Holman had to say about it. 420 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 5: Look, I started a border show in nineteen eighty four. 421 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 5: I've been at this for over forty years, and I 422 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 5: worked for six presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan. Every president 423 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 5: ever worked for it. Took border security seriously because you 424 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 5: can't have national security if you don't have strong border security. 425 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 5: We got to know who's coming in, what's coming in, 426 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 5: where's coming in, why it's coming in. Right, Even President 427 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 5: Obama and President Clinton took some steps to secure the 428 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 5: border because they understood national security. It was important. Joe 429 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 5: Biden was the first president in the history of this 430 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,400 Speaker 5: nation who came in office and unsecured a border on purpose. 431 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 5: That's just a fact. We handed the Biden Ministry after 432 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 5: President Trump's first administration. We handed Biden administration the most 433 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 5: secure border in my lifetime, and he unsecured it on purpose. Now, 434 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 5: President Trump and this administration here at the success is unprecedented. 435 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 5: We beat Trump's first administration on border success. Border numbers 436 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 5: are historic law today as I'm standing here. We are 437 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 5: the most secure border in the history of this nation, 438 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 5: and then numbers prove it. 439 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: I had one of these garbage polls in one of 440 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 1: the news channels. I was really paying attention as to 441 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: what channel was on, and I hate these polls, but 442 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: it said that sixty percent of Americans had confidence in 443 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: Trump dealing with the border. And I looked at that, 444 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: I go, what do you mean sixty percent? It should 445 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: be one hundred percent. Who doesn't have confidence? If anybody 446 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 1: succeeds that anything ninety six percent of the time, you 447 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: must have confidence. It shows you about these die hard 448 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: progressive church members. Well, I don't have confidence in what 449 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: he's doing. Ninety six percent? Drop? What's the point of 450 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: the poll? Not a credible poll. It's not credible. People 451 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: being pulled one of the two because, as Holman said, 452 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 1: with ninety six percent, fewer people are coming across the border. 453 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: How many women aren't aren't being sexually assaulted by the cartels, 454 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: how many children aren't dying making that journey. How many 455 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: women and children aren't being sex trafficked into this country. 456 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: And that is one of the problems is so much 457 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: good has come from shutting the border down. But it's 458 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: not something you can prove. It's a lot of suffering 459 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: that did not happen. It's crimes that didn't happen. Rapes, murders, 460 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: child slave trade crimes, it didn't happen. You can't quantify 461 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: it except to point out what the numbers you used 462 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: to be a year ago or three years ago. And 463 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: what he said about the other presidents. He's been doing 464 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: this since nineteen eighty four, and Ronald Reagan, he's now 465 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: the Ice chief and the borders are but he started 466 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: out as a border patrol officer in nineteen eighty four. 467 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: And he said every president, and he worked for all 468 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: of them, took it seriously because it wasn't a part 469 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: is an issue. You can go from Reagan to Obama 470 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,239 Speaker 1: and everybody in between. Everyone knew you had to have 471 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: a border to have a secure country, only Biden, and 472 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: Biden never had an open border stance before because he 473 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: was senile. When he got into office, his brain had 474 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: turned to warm oatmeal, and the members of the progressive 475 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: cult took over the process. He didn't know what was 476 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: going on, and they were into no borders. US is 477 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: an illegitimate nation. It's racist, It stole the Indians land. 478 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: Another thing I saw the other day, I was, I 479 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: was somewhere and there was that there was a sign right, 480 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: and it was one of those land acknowledgment signs that's 481 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: like some kind of public preserve, and we acknowledged that 482 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: the land underneath us used to belong to whatever Indian tribe. 483 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: They open up like council meetings in some towns with 484 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: the land acknowledgment that the land below us. Why don't 485 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: you give the land back? Why are you opening up 486 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: the land acknowledgment? Why don't you give the land back? 487 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: Give it back to the Indian tribe that used to 488 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: be here. They never do. They just go through this 489 00:29:54,240 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: pretentious virtue signaling, this ritualistic theater.
