1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are live in

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Anaheim at the Honda Center in the parking lot, parking

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Lot four. You get here by going to the intersection

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: of Ball Road and Phoenix Club Drive. Take the turn

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: onto Phoenix Club Drive and go to the end. It's

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: a short ride and it leads you into the parking

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: lot of the Honda Center, parking lot number four. And

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: parking Lot number four is where we have tables set

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: up and you can drive right up and the volunteers

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: here will hand you the clipboard so you could sign

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: for the referendum. The referendum in November will revise dramatically

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: Prop forty seven and make theft a crime again, make

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: drug use, drug possession a crime again. You'll go to jail,

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: and you'll go to prison, and it will greatly strengthen

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: the penalties against fentinyl. And if someone sells a customer

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: fentanyl and the customer dies, then that's going to be murdered.

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Those are the three provisions that this act will address,

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 1: and we must have it. I think almost everybody I've

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: talked to on and off the Air has said that

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: they can't believe how the quality of life has degraded

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: so much, and the root of all evil. Everyone's always

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: looking for root causes, right, Well, the root cause is

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: Prop forty seven, written by George Gascone, and everybody in

25
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: the state has to vote for this referendum. You got

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: to sign the petition. Yes, Boo boo George Gascon. How

27
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: one guy that ten years ago I'd never even heard

00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: Doing, very proud to be out here. I heard Todd

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: was putting this together along with you and help us

39
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: quite a bit. Todd's fantastic, So tell me what.

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: What, how How has Prop forty seven affected Lisa viah

41
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: and the surrounding areas in Orange County.

42
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, the tough part is I've been on council for

43
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: about twelve years. Yeah, and a lot of it is

44
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: the cost of public safety.

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: So we're looking at public safety.

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: We're looking at how the in our case, the sheriff's

47
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: and the deputies are performing in our city.

48
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: Is demoralizing for them.

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 2: And obviously crime is skyrocketed across all the cities in

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: South Orange County. Was out of breakfast with congress Congresswoman

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: Young Kim this morning and my other mayors from the area.

52
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 2: We're talking about the radical increase in crime multiple times

53
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: a day for the same cruise coming out of Chile

54
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: coming out of South are the amazing.

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: And you can steal multiple times a day and not

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: not get prosecuted at all because they don't bother with

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: p executions for misdemeanors now and it's massively organized.

58
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why it's just these organized organized crime syndicates

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: are now targeting California because they won't get in trouble.

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Right, there's no laws anymore exactly. And in the age

61
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: of internet social media, you see this with the immigration

62
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: issue as well. You could connect with millions of people

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: very quickly, and the drug cartels run advertising campaigns on

64
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: social media, and the same thing with these these these

65
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: these thieves who come from foreign countries. It's horrible.

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: The burglaries are way up, so they you know, pick

67
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: a home, they'll stalk the people, figure out where they are,

68
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: what they're doing, and then they'll hit the homes.

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's just a huge ratto. It actually turned

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: out to be the worst time for a Prop forty seven.

71
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: It was at the exact moment the social media took off.

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: Absolutely yeah, so it was horrible. So it's it's wonderful

73
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: your hair. We need to I wish we could repeal

74
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: the whole thing, but if we get the meat out

75
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: of it, the teeth out of it, and really, you know,

76
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 2: make it work for the cities again. And once again,

77
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: I feel horrible for the law enforcement because they they

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: try to do their job and then there's no teeth

79
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: behind what they do.

80
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: There's no penalties, and that's horrible.

81
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: They want to keep us all safe and now they're

82
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: working hard on the streets and what are they gonna.

83
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: Do this This this Prop forty seven prevented the police

84
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: from being police turned them into spectators to watch bad

85
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: guys steal as much as they want every day, all

86
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: day long. And that's why second issue has been the drugs. Yeah,

87
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: you can take drug see it all day long. And

88
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: so what happened you there with drug addicts all on

89
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: the street, but their parents with narcan. Yeah, that's the thing.

90
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: They try to tell you how to adapt, Well, you

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: just have to lock up everything in the drug store

92
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: and then call for help. It's like, why do we

93
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: have to do that? Well, yeah, your kid has to

94
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: carry narcan around? Why does he have to carry an

95
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: arct around? Exactly? We're supposed to adapt to this insanity and.

96
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: The public is furious about it. Yes, hence the crowds

97
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: are seeing here. It's only going to grow. It's a

98
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: huge issue. It's a bipartisan issue.

99
00:04:59,480 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: I just see it.

100
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what part of you're from, you're still

101
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: suffering under this law.

102
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: No, people got to stop thinking the terms of parties.

103
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: They have to look around at the quality of life.

104
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: There is nobody who wants all tens of thousands of

105
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: drug addicts in the street and have all the stuff

106
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: stolen from all our local stories. I mean, that is

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: just crazy. Absolutely. Yeah, well look, I'm glad that you came.

108

Speaker 1: Thanks for your support, appreciate. I want to be here

109
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: to support time, yourself and this whole push. All right,

110
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: Mayor Elisa Viehill, Mike Munsing, so give him a round

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: of applies. So thanks that coming out. Thank you, Thank

112
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: you John, because you need guys like him, you know,

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: in office to actually make the changes. And I don't

114
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: put up with people who say, oh, it's just the

115
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: way it is. What are you going to do about it? No,

116
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: it's not the way it's going to be. There is

117
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: stuff you can do about it. You know, we got

118
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: a democracy, at least for a few more days. We

119
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: can sign the petitions. In California, you got a reformund

120
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the ballot and drastically change this law. And then the

121
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: law's gone. And it doesn't matter what Gascon things, It

122
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what the Allied Times editorial board does, nitties think,

123
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: and people have to stop feeling intimidated. Somewhere in the

124
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: last ten years, everybody's afraid. They're afraid to express an opinion.

125
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: They're afraid they're gonna get canceled, they're afraid they're gonna

126
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: be out of step in your criticized. I screw that,

127
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: get criticized, get canceled, go crazy here. Otherwise you're hiding

128
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: in your house. You're afraid to go to dinner, You're

129
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: afraid to go shopping, and the thieves are running wild.

130
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: You're afraid to take a walk. You gotta do a

131
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: hopscotch over all the poop that the homeless people left behind.

132
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a homeless encampments in Ala in front

133
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: of schools. We can't live like this. So where are

134
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: we again? Let me just you got to check the time.

Speaker 1: You make the turn onto Phoenix Club Drive. It's a

139
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 1: short distance. You end up in the parking lot, parking

Speaker 1: months five hundred thousand signatures. We need a total of

149
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty thousand verified signatures. But in order

150
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: to deal with all the signatures they throw out, we've

151
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,480

00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Coebelt on demand from KFI AM

157
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: six forty.

158
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: You can hear us from one until four and then

159
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. The podcast

160
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: posted after four o'clock on the iHeart app. And I

161
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 1: am trying to stay out of the sun. I'm getting

162
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: killed by the sun today. We got to fix the

163
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: tent away from the sun. Next time I am here

164
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: with Sheriff Alex Vanowaeva. Before I talk with him, let

165
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: me explain what we're doing. If you're just joining us.

166
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: We have collected a lot of people to sign petitions.

167
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: They are signing petitions due to a major revision of Prop.

168
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: Forty seven, And this is going to turn theft back

169
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: into a crime. This is going to turn drug possession

170
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: and drug use back into a crime, and you'll get

171
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: a choice of treatment or jail. And then thirdly, it's

172
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: going to go after fentanel traffickers, make it a serious

173
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: prison time and charge them with murder if they end

174
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: up killing their customers. And so this is a huge

175
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to change our day to day life. If you

176
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: feel helpless, if you feel like the government has taken

177
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: us in a bad direction and you don't know what

178
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: to do, if you feel like you're stuck in a

179
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: crazy state, you can take action and change things. And

180
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: it starts today. Let me tell you exactly where we

181
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: are go to. Well, first of all, Root fifty seven.

182
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: Apparently somebody was complaining. I thought everybody has a GPS.

183
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: But take the fifty seven. Take the Ball Road exit,

184
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: and it's the intersection of Ball Road and Phoenix Club Drive.

185
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: You turn on Phoenix Club Drive, it takes you straight

186
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: into parking Lot four at the Honda Center. There's also

187
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: a big sign that calls it the Red lot. So

188
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: it's parking lot four, the red lot Honda Center, and

189
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: it'll become self evident. You just follow the loop, follow

190
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: the cones. We have four lanes. There's been steady traffic

191
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 1: since one o'clock when we started, and we're going to

192
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: be here till six on the air before but they'll

193
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: take signatures till six and then we can do a

194
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: massive rewrite on Prop forty seven and the A list.

195
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: Guest in law enforcement, he is on the A list.

196
00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: Former La County Sheriff alex Viana way of everybody, welcome,

197
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: How are you good? John? Just a working man. Thank you.

198
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: Now you are running. You're taking on Janis Han That

199
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: is correct. La County Supervisor will get into that race

200
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: in just a second. But since you were the sheriff

201
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: in La County for four years as homelessness and crime

202
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: were multiplying, intensifying since Prop forty seven went into effect,

203
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: talk about what you saw because you were in the

204
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: sheriff's department obviously years before that, many years, so you've

205
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: seen the changes since Prop forty seven passed in twenty fourteen,

206
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: talk about what you and all your sheriff's deputies experienced. Well.

207
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 4: Prop forty seven was a fork in the road where

208
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 4: the political establishment has decided that they they want to

209
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: make crime legal and they want to wage a war

210
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 4: against law enforcement. So imagine this, The cops are becoming

211
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: the criminals. Now the criminals are the victims. So everything

212
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 4: they're doing in Sacramento is to make the life easier

213
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 4: for criminals to commit crime. Prop forty seven was their

214
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 4: centerpiece for that. So you put Prop forty seven and

215
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 4: the author George Gascoon together, you have la of today.

216
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: Those are the two prime culprits of the mess that

217
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 4: we have right now.

218
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't think the average person understands that this is

219
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: a deep seated philosophy that these progressives in Sacramento have.

220
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: People like Gascone. They really do side with the criminal

221
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: and the police really are the enemy. I mean they

222
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: believe that the way any religious person believes in their

223
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: particular brand of faith. They don't question it and they

224
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: don't accept even discussion of the terrible consequences.

225
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 4: No, because it's all part of that progressive mantra where

226
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 4: the law enforcement is the oppressor and they're here to

227
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 4: liberate the oppress. So this is all virtues signaling, and

228
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 4: this is all the poor victim that needs to be liberated,

229
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 4: where the real victim is getting screwed day in and

230
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: day out. And you see it across the news media,

231
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 4: the mash and grabs of follow home robberies that takeovers,

232
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: ladies being dragged across parking lots and broad daylight.

233
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: Yes for their purse.

234
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 4: That is a new normal that the LA County Board

235
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 4: of Supervisors wants you to accept in that question. And

236
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 4: I say, no, no, no, we can do a lot

237
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 4: better than that. Let's unravel the mess at Prop forty

238
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: seven creators. So I really want to encourage everybody to

239
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 4: get out there and sign this ballot measure.

240
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the LA County Board of Supervisors, boy, that

241
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: is the most little known but most powerful political board.

242
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: It's five people, ten million people in LA County. Each

243
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: one represents two million, and they pass all the laws

244
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: in La County. And you have four out of the

245
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: five are true blue progressives, I mean, dyed to their

246
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: bones progressives.

247
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 4: Definitely look at their budget alone. From twenty sixteen when

248
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 4: Janis Haunt first took off, as the budget was twenty

249
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 4: nine point nine billion today is forty six point seven billion.

250
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: It grew fifty six percent, and we're getting less services

251
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 4: from county government while we're paying half as much.

252
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: I know, record taxes, record revenue, that they're spending much

253
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: more homeless, much more crime. And I think the average

254
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: person is simply oblivious, just not paying attention. I don't

255
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: think most people know the Board of Supervisors exist. I

256
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: don't think they think in terms of that there's a

257
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: county government.

258
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: No, because their idea is mayor's city council and that's

259
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 4: pretty much hit. But the board, with that huge budget,

260
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 4: they're the largest local government entity in the entire nation.

261
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 4: They have zero oversight, and like the Han, they treat

262
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 4: it like a dynasty. They feel entitled. Well, this is

263
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 4: my job because my dad was supervisors, so just vote

264
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: for me and don't worry about the details.

265
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: That's right. Her father was a supervisor, Jennis Hahn. This

266
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: is just my opinion. You don't have to agree with that.

267
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: She's the dumbest a box of rocks. She's like the

268
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: dumbest politician I've ever seen. Really, and I said, just

269
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: like ten years ten to fifteen years ago, I'm astounded

270
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: by how stupid she is. So talk about what you

271
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: think is wrong with her reign. As a county supervisor

272
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: and why people should replace her with you.

273
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: I'll give a simple scenario. I'm doing a zoom meeting

274
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 4: with her. During the pandemic, she imposed a hiring freeze

275
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: on the sheriff's department. We're trying to explain to her

276
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 4: that if you put a hiring freeze, we're gonna start

277
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: losing deputies because they're gonna continue to retire. Nothing's gonna

278
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: stop it, and that's really bad for public safety. He said, well,

279
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 4: you can still hold your academy classes, and I saw

280
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: my chief of staff beating his head against the wall, like,

281
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: oh my god, I can't believe she actually said that.

282
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: So you could have classes, but after they graduate, you

283
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: can't hire them.

284
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 4: Oh no, exactly, they're just going to show up for free.

285
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: There you go. I rest my case. That's all you

286
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: need to know. You could keep adding classes, but nobody

287
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: gets to be a deputy exactly. Yeah, that'll fill up

288
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: the classes. Oh yeah, how longer? How long are your

289
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: deputy classes?

290
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 4: They're twenty two weeks long.

291
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: Twenty two weeks. You're supposed to been twenty two weeks

292
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: training for a job that they'll never hire for. Yep. Yeah,

293
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: that's Jennis Hans's brain. So what kind of reception are

294
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: you getting?

295
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 4: And you're wonderful everywhere going throughout the fourth district, people

296
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 4: are saying, thank god. I mean we're averaging about six

297
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 4: thank Gods for everyone. Oh hell no, I like those

298
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 4: odds right there.

299
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: And your district encompass is what territory.

300
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: Now from the Apollos Various Peninsula to the south through

301
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 4: San Pedro Long Beach, going north along the southeast corner

302
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: of the county to Whittier and Laharber Heights as the tip. Yeah,

303
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 4: very little coverage of your race. Well it's on purpose. Yeah,

304
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: they don't want to cover competitive race. But they'll cover

305
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 4: about stickers on Joe walls that you get a full

306
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 4: top bread from the Times, Yeah, but not about a race.

307
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 5: Is competitive.

308
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 4: Is so important for the future of the county because

309
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 4: we need to get that balance that we used to

310
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 4: have in county government. Yes, that disappeared with Don Kanabi.

311
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 4: We need to actually get that back.

312
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: I know it's so tilted towards the crazy people now,

313
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: and that's no wonder. We've got tens of thousands people

314
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: in the street and all kinds of crazy people running

315
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: around stealing that that it had to happen. It's the

316
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: logical outcome of all these decisions and bad elections.

317
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 4: Well, imagine this the mentality of Jonas Hunt and Holly

318
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 4: Mitch are running for reelection. We become the center of

319
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 4: homelessness and the entire nation where their retail theft center

320
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 4: of the entire nation. But they won't be reelected.

321
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 5: How on earth do you explain that.

322
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: Holly Mitchell has an area in her district they've got

323
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: five to six hundred RVs with homeless people and it

324
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: goes on, I don't know for a couple of miles.

325
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: There's one particular boulevard down in South La County. It's

326
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: endless RVs and its most frightening dystopian picture I've ever seen.

327
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: And she doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.

328
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 4: Well, that was one thirty fifth in Avalon. I was

329
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: at MacArthur Park yesterday. Yeah, omg, that was you know,

330
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 4: Actually third world countries would feel insulted to be compared

331
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: by what's around MacArthur Park, and that is a new

332
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 4: Norman Ellie County.

333
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I've been to a few third world countries.

334
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything there as bad as we've we've

335
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: gotten pockets La. All right, So Alex Vianawava running for

00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: the few did the boy he cleared out a homeless

Speaker 1: encampment near my neighborhood, so he's got my undying support.

346
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: Nobody else did that, and then Mike Bonnett tried to

347
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: take credit. That's what was funny.

348
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 3: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM

349
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 3: six forty.

350
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: Alright from one until four. Then after four o'clock it's

351
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: John cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. You

352
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: can hear the podcast. It's the same as the radio show.

353
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: How many people here have the iHeart app? Yeah, No,

354
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: you have to make noise. It's radio. You have to

355
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: go yay. Okay, and you all listen to the podcast

356
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: when you miss when you miss the show, Yes, yes, okay,

357
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: that's all I want to know. We're at the Honda

358
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: Center in parking Lot four, the red lot also it's

359
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: known as and we are signing petitions to get a

360
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: referendum on the ballot to massively rewrite Prop forty seven.

361
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: It's officially known as the Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft

362
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: Reduction Act because this will reduce homelessness, reduce drug addiction,

363
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: and reduce theft. That's the purpose. Because when George Gascoon co.

364
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: Wrote Prop. Forty seven, which passed ten years ago, it

365
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: increased theft, it increased drug addiction, and it increased homelessness dramatically, astronomically.

366
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: We now live in a county and in a state

367
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: that is unlike any other county and any other state

368
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: in the Union. Nobody else has these laws. Nobody else

369
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: has the homeless problems and the theft problems and the

370
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: drug addiction problems like we do. This was a progressive,

371
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: a human experiment by the progressives that has utterly failed.

372
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: Now here's what you do. You go to the Honda Center,

373
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: parking Lot four and to get there, you take the

374
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: fifty seven the Ball Road exit. Go to the intersection

375
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: of Ball Road and Phoenix Club Drive. In fact, that's

376
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: what you should put in your GPS. Ball Road Phoenix

377
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 1: Club Drive from any direction you're coming from, but it's

378
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: close to the fifty seven. Then you turn onto Phoenix

379
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: Club Drive. Take it to the end. It's a short ride.

380
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 1: You end up in the parking lot at the Honda Center.

381
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: You'll see the Honda Center as you drive in, and

382
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: just follow the cones, follow the white ballards as you

Speaker 6: part a bunch of other stuff from from northern Europe,

444
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 6: away from well right now. I'm living in San Dimas.

445
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 6: I've been in this the San Gabriel Valley since nineteen seventy,

446
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 6: you know, mostly on the west side. But in May seven,

447
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 6: twenty twenty two, I went to a concert in Pasadena,

448
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 6: and then afterwards I got on a train, a gold

449
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 6: Line train east. I had bicycle with me and my

450
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 6: helmet and lights and so on. I sat down. Woman

451
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 6: behind me said you're blocking my view, and I didn't

452
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 6: think anything of it. I thought she just said some

453
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 6: kind of a nut, and so I just ignored her.

454
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 6: But then she sprayed a liquid on me. I thought

455
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 6: it was water because it didn't have any odor, but

456
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 6: it turned out it was gasoline. She set me on fire.

457
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: I are you the guy that was in the news.

458
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 5: Yes, they didn't put my name in the news, and.

459
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: Steve Gregory did several reports on what happened to you.

460
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: I was that was the most horrible crime that was you? Yes,

461
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

462
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 6: I had to spend seven weeks at County, USC, and

463
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 6: they had to take skin off my leg down my

464
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 6: left leg and put on my.

465
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: Arm up here. Yeah, and.

466
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 6: Let's see the one thing I found out. I never

467
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,239
Speaker 6: had fentanel before that, but that's what the paramedics give

468
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 6: you and I and when I they gave it to him,

469
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 6: I thought, I thought this stuff was illegal and I

470
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 6: so I was I lying down, and of course I

471
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 6: went out and I thought I was dying because it

472
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 6: to see.

473
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 5: Red and yellow patterns.

474
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 6: And then and then when you I found out that's

475
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 6: what they use in the hospital. But you know, it's

476
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 6: the medical grade fentanyl, but it causes hallucinations. I thought

477
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 6: at times that the hospital staff was trying to kill me,

478
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 6: and I tried to fight with them. I you know,

479
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 6: it was I had they had a tube in my throat,

480
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 6: and at one point I got them to take it

481
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 6: out and then they said, you're not eat enough. So

482
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 6: the doctor came and she threw it back in and

483
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 6: it was you know, she said sorry.

484
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: Do you remember the moment it happened? Yeah?

485
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 5: You mean when I said it was when.

486
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: When when they said when she set you on fire?

487
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 6: Yes, oh, yes, I remember that very well. I don't

488
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 6: know if Steve Gregory was able to get the video

489
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 6: from that, but it would be I remember seeing the video.

490
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 6: Oh I haven't seen it.

491
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: No, they if I've got the right event. Yes, I

492
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: saw it because Metro is trying, like now to block

493
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: anyone from seeing it. Okay, that's and I always think

494
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: of that case wheneverybody we hear propaganda about oh yeah,

495
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: take the Metro, take public transportation and it's safe, It's like, no,

496
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: it's not safe. Crazy lady can set you on fire.

497
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: And then so how you feeling today?

498
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 5: I'm okay.

499
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 6: There's the lasting effects are that I can't close this

500
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 6: all the way. You're your right hand, yeah, my right

501
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 6: and my left hand is okay. My right hand is

502
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 6: not right, you know, it's from the almost almost can

503
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 6: make it, but not quite. And my kidney function. I

504
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 6: was already diabetic. So at that time, my kidney function

505
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 6: was about sixty percent. Now it's it did go below

506
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 6: thirty percent, but then it came back up. It's right,

507
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 6: it's about thirty percent. Yeah, but they do over. I

508
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 6: don't think you're going to get any better than about

509
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 6: what it is now.

510
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: Did they ever catch this woman? Yes?

511
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 6: And I called the DA's office a couple of weeks

512
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 6: ago because I wanted to know what was going on,

513
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 6: and I got the case number and was able to

514
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 6: look her up.

515
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 5: She's in in lynn Wood and.

516
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 6: I looked at the case and they had hearing scheduled

517
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 6: for her. I don't know what all these hearings were about,

518
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 6: but one of them they had probably mental state. Well, yeah,

519
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 6: they had in February. The first one I saw for

520
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 6: February was a competency hearing and Hollywood. I don't know

521
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 6: it was in Hollywood, but the because the case is

522
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 6: going to be in Pasadena. And then they had another hearing.

523
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 6: I didn't go to any of these hearings, by the way,

524
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 6: but they had.

525
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: At the moment, she's locked up.

526
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, she's in Lynnwood, in Linwood.

527
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: And she what was it.

528
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 6: She's got another competency hearing scheduled for March, so I

529
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 6: don't know.

530
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: She got to be put away for the rest of

531
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: I don't but give me your name again, Stan Slankowski,

532
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: Stan Slunkoski, I'm so glad you survived this. It's so

533
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: terrible they have to go through it, and that is

534
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 1: the fault of every public official who's created this environment

535
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: where crazy people could run around and set innocent people

536
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: on fire on a train. That's just so disgusting, and

537
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: every one of them should be kicked out of office

538
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: for creating this atmosphere. But you stay strong, all right, right,

539
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: thank you, all right, thank you for coming on sharing

540
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: the story. All right, we're in Anahei. Give them a

541
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: big round of applause. Victim of our stupid progressive government.

542
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: There's stupid ideas. We are in Anaheim, we're at the

543
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: Honda Center, We are in lot for and people are

544
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: signing petitions to get on a referendum on the ballot

545
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: in November that would largely rewrite Prop forty seven. Prop

546
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: forty seven led to what Stan had to go through.

547
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: It's all connected. It'll make theft illegal again, It'll make

548
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: drug use illegal again. It'll make fentanyl a prison sentence

549
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: if you're trafficking in it, and if you kill somebody,

550
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: it'll be a murder charge. You have to sign this

551
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: because there are we got a half million signatures, and

552
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of momentum in the state, and

553
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: there's a lot of politicians relatedly jumping on the badwagon,

554
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: Republican and Democrats, because they see what's coming This is

555
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: a locomotive that's going to run them over. Because thirty

556
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: years ago when we came, we got three strikes passed

557
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: and no one in Sacramento knew it hit them. This

558
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,640
Speaker 1: time they see the train coming, so let's let's let's

559
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: run them over.

560
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFII.

561
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: You gotta make noise. I keep explaining, it's radium est.

562
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: There you go. We got a crowd here. We also

563
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: have a line, a steady line of people driving up

564
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: and signing petitions. And this is to get a reference

565
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: on the ballot in November that will greatly rewrite Prop

566
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: forty seven. It's called the Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft

567
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: Reduction Act. And in short touch, Spincher's coming on next

568
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: hour the Orange County DA. He'll explain everything in much

569
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: greater detail. But the short of this is it'll make

570
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: retail theft a crime again. It makes drug possession and

571
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: drug use a crime again, and you go to jail

572
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: or a prison. In the drug case, you'll get a

573
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: shot at treatment first. And then thirdly, fentanyl goes after

574
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: fentanyl traffickers makes those penalties much more severe. And if

575
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: a dealer kills one of his customers, it'll be considered

576
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: murder and they'll go to prison for murder. And that

577
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: leads us into our next couple who's going to talk

578
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: to us. And I just met them a moment or

579
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: two ago, and they have a story and I wanted

580
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: them to tell the story on the air. If they

581
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: don't mind, I know it's it's difficult anyway. I didn't

582
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: even get your name, so why don't you give you

583
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: talking to the microphone.

584
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, my name is Tom, and this is my wife,

585
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 4: Angie Nigerian.

586
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 1: Tom and Angie Nagerian. What happened to your son?

587
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 8: So?

588
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: My son.

589
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 8: Started using opioids and we sent him for treatment in Utah.

590
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 8: He was doing great, wonderful. He actually got out and

591
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 8: he was living on his own, supporting himself. He was

592
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 8: doing great.

593
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 5: And the ass that.

594
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 8: Lived here in California that was supplying him with drugs

595
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 8: before sent it to him in the mail and it

596
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 8: was laced with fentanyl, and he talked. Yesterday was the

597
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 8: three year anniversary of that day.

598
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry he sent it to your house or to

599
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: where he was where he.

600
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 8: Was in Utah through the mail. He sent it to

601
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 8: him through the mail and that was the only way

602
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 8: we were able to get him convicted. And that guy

603
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 8: is now in prison for twenty years.

604
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: Good good, good. He never stop fighting.

605
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 8: It's so important to get this change so everyone doesn't

606
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 8: have to go through that and get those dealers off

607
00:30:59,080 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 8: the streets.

608
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, I know, isn't it crazy that we have

609
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: to fight this hard? Look at all the people who

610
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: are lined up in their cars and have come over here.

611
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: Because the people in Sacramento and people like George Gascon

612
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: will simply pass laws to stop the fentadel from coming

613
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: here and put those away who traffic in it.

614
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 8: It needs to happen to one of their family members

615
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 8: before they even think about it.

616
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean they're also psychopathic. It just makes

617
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: me crazy. I'm so sorry.

618
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 6: This is why we spent the time from coming down

619
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 6: from Alisa Vie to here, because of the importance of

620
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 6: what you're doing here.

621
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: That yeah, thank you, No, you're welcome, Yeah, you're welcome,

622
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: but you know, all everybody, because I mean, we need

623
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: to get hundreds of thousands of signatures, so we need

624
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: everybody involved here. There's no excuse not to sign one

625
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: of these petitions. And then it changes things. I mean

626
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: we I think people are forgotten that we can change

627
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: things exactly. And it doesn't take that much work. You know,

628
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: a couple the votes, sign a petition and California is different.

629
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: In a year, there really will be. Well, thank you

630
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: for coming. Thank you so much, all right, Tommy said

631
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: Tom and Angie Najarian thank you very much. Nice all right.

632
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: So their story and in the segment before, we talked

633
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: to that man who was set on fire on a

634
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: metro train coming back from a concert. And this is

635
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: the state. This is what all these politicians have given us,

636
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: you know, from Gavin Newsom and the Democratic Legislature, to

637
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: George Gascon to Karen Bass to an endless number of politicians.

638
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: They're all stacked up on the Public Safety Committee. They

639
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: kill every bill that goes after criminals. This is a

640
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: pro criminal philosophy. It's like a religious philosophy. And they've

641
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: inverted the entire world where good people like you are

642
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: the oppressors. The bad people who do the killing, the

643
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: drug pushing, the people who are littered in the streets,

644
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: they're lionized. They're praised, they're the ones protected. All our

645
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: elites in politics and in the media are on the

646
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: sides of criminals, and they want to keep the criminals

647
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: out of prison and allow the criminals to keep what

648
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: killing more sons or setting more train passengers on fire,

649
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: that's what happens. I can only assume that's what they

650
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: want because it's happened for years now and they've done

651
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: nothing to stop it. So we're going to have to

652
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: stop it, and it starts today. You come to Anaheim,

653
