1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on the 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: radio every day from one until four o'clock and after 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 1: four o'clock if you have missed anything. Ah, that's what 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: the podcast is for. John Cobelt Show on demand also 6 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: on the iHeart app. And we spent a lot of 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: the first hour talking about how while Gavin Newsom was 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: trying to portray himself the other day as being a 9 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: poor kid who had to live on wonderbread and macaroni 10 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: and cheese, turns out his dad managed the trust for 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: Gordon Getty, the heir to the multi billion dollar oil fortune. 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: So Gavin Newsom's dad was very, very wealthy. He was 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: not struggling on wonderbread and macaroni and cheese. That is 14 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: another complete Gavin Newsom why totally invented nonsense. So you 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: listened to that in the first hour. All right, he's 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: coming on. He's a businessman. We have he owns businesses 17 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: in the most interesting places. We have him onne frequently 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: because he describes how Santa Monica is going to hell 19 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: and businesses are fleeing, and he also owed some businesses 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: in near MacArthur Park and the story I told you 21 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: about in the last segment. Karen Bass now wants to 22 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: spend over two million dollars to put an iron fence 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: around MacArthur Park because the crime and the drug addicts 24 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: and the mental patients and the gangs are out of control. 25 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: Let's get John Alley on. How are you, John? 26 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 2: Good? Welcome back from your trip. John, you were missed. 27 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: Well, thank you very much. Why don't you develop some 28 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: businesses in a more peaceful area between Santa Monica and 29 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: MacArthur Park. I mean, well, there's got to be another 30 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: way to make money. 31 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: Hopefully there is, but we'll get this back making money 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: and helping all the employees and the residence in those 33 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: areas they need it. I mean, I'm one hundred percent 34 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: in favor of investing to secure and clean up the parks, 35 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: but accepting the parks as a locale to house or 36 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 2: service mental illness or co occurring drug disorders is dangerous. 37 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 2: So this fencing is an idea on the table, but 38 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: it needs debate. It's easier to agree with authority than 39 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: post questions and concerns and have conflict if it does happen, 40 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: there's going to have to be coordinated effort to stop 41 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 2: the tragedies outside the park, in the alleyways and curbways. 42 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 2: Otherwise these knights of the living dead will Expand there's 43 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: pros and cons about what the proposed fencing might do. 44 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 2: But first let's not forget to follow the money trail. 45 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: Three years ago we spent one point five million dollars 46 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: to clean up the park the south side, then the 47 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: north four months after each side opened. It was ravished. 48 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: The problem then and now I think was not fixed 49 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 2: because our government urban planners did not identify the solution 50 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: before we address the problem. This has money laundering John 51 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 2: for family and friends written all over it. That much 52 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: fencing's not even used at Dodger Stadium. And this is 53 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: quote braided funds unquote and involved. That's money County perhaps 54 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: the state matched by federal funds. There's a better focus, 55 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 2: and that would be to properly patrol MacArthur Park and 56 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: force a curfew. And we need to dedicate sworn LAPD 57 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 2: officers on horseback and in cars to enter the park. 58 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 2: Twenty four to seven. We need the police chief needs 59 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: to authorize sworn officers to follow our brave firefighters and 60 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: paramedics into the park their backs, so they put out 61 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: fires and try to save those eight persons overdosing every day. 62 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: Eight a wait, wait, eight times the paramedics have to 63 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: enter MacArthur Park to save an overdose. 64 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: I was corrected by CD eleven council member unitsus Hernandez. 65 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: We thought it was six, she said, John, it's eight. 66 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,559 Speaker 1: Well, why isn't she calling for the police for twenty 67 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 1: four to seven coverage? 68 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 2: She's a police abolitionist, all right. I can see she 69 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: would rather see social workers, not health workers. She would 70 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 2: rather see ambassadors. 71 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: That's that's a stupid None of that works, It never 72 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: has and never will. That's absolutely ridiculous. So ultimately she 73 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: doesn't she doesn't care if everybody dies in the park. 74 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: Well, think about it. You're right. I think in part 75 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 2: because they can't claim the number of homeland has decreased, 76 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 2: they're dead. 77 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: I think that was why sometimes they claim the homelessness 78 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: number has gone down, It is because so many have died. 79 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: But then we found out a few days ago that 80 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: it turns out they seriously undercounted the homeless, and so 81 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: that's why the number went down, is because they fudged 82 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: the numbers. They lied about the numbers. 83 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 2: The sales that the food and retail businesses in the 84 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: area are still down. They're affected by mental health apartment 85 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 2: buildings with occupants who are terrorizing people inside and out. 86 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: In that area. There's casadel Soul homeless shelter across the street. 87 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 2: There's incidents in the laundry rooms, shower stools, of rapes, attacks. 88 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: There's a project called the Asbury. It's six and cronolect 89 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: another disaster. And now, like in Santa Monica, what was proposed, 90 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 2: the Housing Authority is under contract for nine million to 91 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 2: purchase a twenty eight unit building for the same use 92 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: occupied in a residential area. We don't think small facilities 93 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 2: within residential neighborhoods that posed danger to residents, school and 94 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: kids belong there. 95 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: No, No, that's horrible. That's got to be more corruption 96 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: as well. 97 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: We are really going to be pushing for the county 98 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: and the state to lease or purchase the Saint Vincent 99 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: Medical Center just blocks away through an Alvarado that's coincidentally 100 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: owned by the publisher of the La Times. We want 101 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 2: to see if he's really committed to helping La and 102 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 2: utilize the vacant seventy five acres on the south campus 103 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: of Rancho Los Amigos in the Downy area. Karen Bath 104 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: actually tweeted that site could be turned into mental health 105 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: drug an alcohol rehab, and a shelter within three days. 106 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: Let's do that, yeah, and force people to go there. 107 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: Force them to go there. They have a trice to 108 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: either go there, they go to jail. 109 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: It's interesting whether without fencing or a gate. We notified 110 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: and I asked personally units is Hernandez CD eleven council 111 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: member whose term is coming up in twenty twenty six, 112 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: if she would I told her there are signs posted 113 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: with park hours. Why aren't the hours being enforced? And 114 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: if we have a fence, what are the police going 115 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: to do if someone doesn't want to leave? The very 116 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: next day, John, that sign was removed. Oh, so you 117 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: can drive around the park and there's no sign with 118 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: posted hours unless they were reposted within the last few days. 119 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: That's how they do it. But when people are breaking 120 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: the law, breaking the rules, they just remove the law 121 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: or the rules and then you don't have a problem anymore. 122 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 2: Well. Karen Bass, who supposedly has a public health degree 123 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: from USC courtesy of council member former supervisor Mark Ridley Thomas. 124 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a dirty deal. 125 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: It's to stop. She needs to stop calling these people unhoused. Yeah, 126 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 2: that's nonsense. Maybe twenty percent or homeless, an eighty percent 127 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 2: are on drugs and mentally ill. They need help. We 128 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: need large facilities and we've identified too. Now we need 129 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: to act on it. 130 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: All right, good stuff, John Alley, thank you for coming on. 131 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 2: Oh, thank you, John all right. 132 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: John Alley. He's a businessman, owns businesses in MacArthur Park 133 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: and what he said at the end there is really 134 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 1: the most important thing. We'll talk more when we come back. 135 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 136 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: six forty. 137 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: We just finished talking with John Ally. He's a businessman 138 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: who owns a number of businesses in the MacArthur Park 139 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: area and Karen Pass announced yesterday they're going to spend 140 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: two million dollars for an iron fence around MacArthur Park. 141 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: It's overrun, as I mentioned, with thousands of homeless people, criminals, 142 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: gang members, mental patients. Really terrifying scary environment there. I mean, 143 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: every psychopath gathers in MacArthur Park. And like John Ally said, 144 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: eighty percent of these people are on drugs or the 145 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: mentally ill. There's only been one solution, and it's the 146 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: solution that's always worked throughout human history, and it's the 147 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: only solution that will ever work. And anyone who says 148 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: otherwise is on the take. They're making money from the system. 149 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: Here's the solution. You arrest all the drug addicts and 150 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: the mental patients and send them for mental health treatment 151 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: indoors locked up, or drug treatment indoors and locked up. 152 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: That's it. And if they don't want to go, they 153 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: can go to jail and go through their withdrawal there 154 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: and when they're ready, we'll pay for their drug addiction. 155 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: Will pay for their drug addiction treatment or their mental 156 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: health treatment. How about that. That's the deal. They are 157 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: never allowed to sleep on the streets or in the 158 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: park again, no one, not one person, not ever, not 159 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: for one night, not for one hour, one night, which 160 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 1: was the law, the rules all our lives, still is 161 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: in almost every city. All this nonsense about all their 162 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: stupid terms outreach harm reduction is garbage. It was a 163 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: way to manipulate you into thinking that there was another 164 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 1: solution if you just paid them enough money, enough billions, 165 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: they'd be able to pull it off. They all made 166 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: enormous amounts of money. You are taxed to death. You 167 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: have been a sucker for this. If you believe it, 168 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. You're not liberal, you're not compassionate, you're not 169 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: open minded to new ideas. You are a fool. Their 170 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: ideas do not work, and they've been proven to not work. 171 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: There's no question about this, no more debate. And if 172 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: everybody in this freaking city would just say, enough of 173 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: this mental institution for this guy, drug addiction unit for 174 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: this guy, everybody out you don't like it, jail, that's it. 175 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: Nothing else ever worked. They have spent billions upon billions, 176 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: all across the country, all around the world. None of 177 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: it worked. Mental health treatment requires medication, requires in some cases, 178 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: intensive therapy. In some cases it's not curable, drug treatment, 179 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: intensive treatment, therapy, medical medical treatment, and a lot of 180 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: that doesn't work either, but sometimes it does. To give 181 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 1: it a shot, but here's the rule. You can go 182 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: into the desert and do whatever you want. You're in 183 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: a public place, a park, for god's sakes, no zero tolerance, 184 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: zero tolerance. You'll be dragged by your ankles with your 185 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: head banging on the sidewalk and thrown into the back 186 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: of a police unit. Out you start doing that every day. 187 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: See what happened with legal immigrants. Trump started sending the 188 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: National Guard in two million disappeared on their own. You 189 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: know that's why they hate him. They hate him because 190 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: he's right, and they hate him because his methods work, 191 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: and they hate him because it busts up this racket 192 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: of nonprofit felons, criminals who built us out of billions 193 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: of dollars with their stupid homelessness treatment program. So there's 194 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: no sich thing. They fail, they fail, they fail again. Oh, 195 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: you have a drug addict in the streets. I have 196 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: an idea. Let's walk up to him and do hard reduction. 197 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: Let's give him a needle so he can inject more drugs. 198 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: Aren't we compassionate? No, you're a criminal, you're a fraud, 199 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: You're cruel. They don't care if these people die in 200 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: the streets. The day that they convinced everyone that they 201 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: were the compassionate ones, that they had a heart, and 202 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: most of the fools in this city believe that was 203 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: the day that La headed for the sere. Stop it. 204 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: Stop being a child. They are grifters. They're con men 205 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: and women. They're making millions of dollars. You're spending enormous 206 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: amounts of money and you still have these These are 207 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: obviously mentally ill and drug addiction to people. There's no 208 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: question about it, There's no more debate. I can't believe 209 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: people fall for this crap. One solution one, There isn't 210 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: another one. None of it's worked. It is one of 211 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: the greatest scams I've ever seen, played out right in 212 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: front of our eyes, mostly in the last ten years, 213 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: and they ran off with billions of dollars and most 214 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: everyone fell for it. It's absolutely fascinating how the human 215 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: mind you could be convinced of complete nonsense once you 216 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: start emotionally manipulating the person. All right, more coming up. 217 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 3: You're listening to on Kobel's on demand from KFI A 218 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: six moistline is. 219 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: Eight seven seven weys Stady six eight seven seven moys 220 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: Stady six.

Remember we had a few weeks ago 223 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: Laray mcgretty on the Santa Monica Mayor and we went 224 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: through she was out for quite a while, almost an 225 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: hour on all the terrible things that have happened to 226 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: Santa Monica, which she agreed is happening, and it's similar 227 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: to well, we were just talking about MacArthur Park. Same problem. 228 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: Too many criminals, too many gang members, too many drug addicts, 229 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: mental patients, homeless people. They're all the same, that's all 230 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: one big category, all the people who can't function in 231 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: normal society anymore. And they walk around Santa Monica, especially 232 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: in the parks and on the beaches like zombies. Now, 233 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: so we were going for two weeks we had on 234 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: that trip to Iceland in London. We come back and 235 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: first day we're back, they were back. It was late 236 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: in the afternoon. My wife wanted to go on a walk, 237 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: you know, because we've been lying around all day after 238 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: all the traveling. It's like, well, let's go take a 239 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: walk through something. Let's try Santa Monica. Let's go to 240 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: Palisades Park, which is along that stretch that overlooks the 241 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: cliff and the beach. We parked the car. We look 242 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: over to the right. Well I looked over to the right, 243 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: and I see a guy and he's bobbing up and 244 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: down on the park bench and he's talking. And I said, 245 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: is that guy on the phone or is he talking 246 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: to an imaginary friend? My wife goes, it's an imaginary friend. 247 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: Let's get out of here. You can't tell when people 248 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: are on the phone, right, I said, yes, if you 249 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: don't see their earbuds. Yeah, a lot of times the 250 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 1: phone zombies kind of are like fentinel zombies and the 251 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 1: way they walk, they're walking really slow, their head is down, 252 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: they're a little bent over, and if they're talking, they're 253 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 1: on their phone. And then you have the actual zombies. 254 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: And this guy was I guess schizephratic, and he had 255 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: a friend next door. It looked like a friendly conversation. 256 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: Well at least he's not lonely. John. Yeah, I know, 257 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's not a bad place to be, as 258 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: long as said you know your friend is friendly. Yes, 259 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: you just stab you right right? Yeah, if your friend 260 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 1: tries to stab you that it's yeah. Uh so that's 261 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: that's the first thing we saw. So I'd say, oh, 262 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: we can't stay here, so our time, our re entry 263 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: time in Santa Monica lasted less than one minute. So 264 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 1: we go park in another place. And this is another 265 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 1: section of the Palisades that I think it's Palisades border 266 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: that in Sinemia they didn't burn and it doesn't face 267 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: the ocean. It faces a canyon. We walk there a 268 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: lot too parked the car. I look across to the 269 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: left this time, what's that guy doing. He's another guy. 270 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: He's in a co old car, sitting by himself and 271 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: it's piled from from Florida ceiling with junk. We get 272 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: out of the car because at least this guy is 273 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: contained inside his vehicle. He is not loose. So we say, 274 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: let's try to take a walk. Anyway. We walked to 275 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: the edge of the block. Third guy and this guy 276 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: uh is walking very fast and he's kind of jittering, 277 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: like he just took a snort or something. And this, 278 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: by the way, is a really expensive neighborhood, right, These 279 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: are all multi multimillion dollar homes. Has a gorgeous view 280 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: of the canyon down below. I can't believe the neighborhood 281 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: puts up with this. So this is this is This 282 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: is Santa Monica, west side of La and Santa Monica, 283 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: as we've told you, has been destroyed. One of the 284 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: favorite shopping places, walking places, social places, restaurants totally ruined. 285 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,239 Speaker 1: And now I knew this eventually would happen, And this 286 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: is the moment of truth. You let so many businesses 287 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: move out, so few people go there. Now the tax 288 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: base collapses, and Santa Monica's collapsed. They have the highest 289 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: vacancy rates in La County, especially in the downtown area. 290 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: All the businesses moved out, and they got whacked at 291 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: least three ways. They got whacked because of the stupid 292 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: government shutting everything down during the pandemic, massive overreaction. They 293 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: didn't do it in Florida and Florida's thriving. Number two 294 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: was on George Floyd Riot Day. The police and officials 295 00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: in Santa Monica allowed the rioters to destroy a lot 296 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: of businesses, both downtown and on the Third Street promenade. 297 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, you're a George Floyd rioter, go ahead, 298 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: set that on fire over there, specially these windows. Take 299 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: anything you want. The police stood down, the Santa Monica 300 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: government ordered them to stand down. So the rioters, and 301 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: none of them gave a crap about George Floyd. This 302 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: was a chance to do what normally they do in 303 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: the dead and night. Now they did it at four 304 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon with the sun out. George Floyd, 305 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: spare me. Then they allowed all the vagrants, the mental patients, 306 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: the drug addicts, to wander around freely, locked out on drugs, 307 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: their mental illness fully blooming. So they scream and they 308 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: talk to themselves, and they shout at you, and occasionally 309 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: they killed quite a few people in Santa Monica, attack 310 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: people on the beaches, attack people in the parks. It's 311 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: like walking into a zoo, except there's no fences around 312 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: the animals. Would you walk into a zoo of wild 313 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: animals where there were no fences. No, that's what Santa 314 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: Monica is. It's a human zoo filled with mentally ill 315 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: animals and drug addicted animals. Imagine going to a zoo 316 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,919 Speaker 1: where half the animals were mentally ill, half of them 317 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: were on drugs, and there was no fencing. There weren't 318 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: motes or anything to keep them from killing you. So 319 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: what happens They come to kill you. So now where 320 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: are they going to do? They have lost millions and 321 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: millions of tax revenue set uh the Santa Monica appear. 322 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: The crowds have thinned out, retail and office vacancies highest 323 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: in La County, highest in La County, especially downtown. So 324 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: the city is headed towards bankruptcy. Now, the city council 325 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: there's a new plan. They have been ultra far left 326 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,719 Speaker 1: wing forever, but they have a city council made up 327 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: largely of young millennials, and uh, this crowd has done 328 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: a flip. I think we got to see. They have 329 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: a new plan. They're going to significantly increase police patrols. 330 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: Look at that. The only thing that makes an area 331 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 1: safe is having a lot of police. That's the only 332 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: thing they wouldn't do. They're going to enforce misdemeanor offenses, 333 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: so maybe when somebody takes a crap on the sidewalk, 334 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: the guy will be hauled off. They're going to invest 335 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: in infrastructure and community events.

Otherwise you go to the jail clinic and 351 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: you stay there, but no more outreach. I saw the 352 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: outreach in Santa Monica on the beach once. Two young kids, 353 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: like they're in the early twenties.

All right, yeah, that's outreach. 365 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: More coming up. 366 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 367 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 3: six forty. 368 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: Who do we got coming up at three o'clock.

What's it look like? What 372 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: is it going to do? We'll talk about that with 373 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: Alex Stone coming up after three o'clock. I remember, well, 374 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: we've had many stupid protests clogging up the freeways in 375 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. There was one in December twenty three, December 376 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three shut down of the southbound lanes of 377 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: the one ten Freeway right near downtown. And this one 378 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: was those Palestinian crazy The jew haters were out in 379 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: force from the Win ten Freeway. They protested, you know, Israel, 380 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 1: and by the way, it turned out pretty good for Israel, 381 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: not so good for Hamas. This is what happens when 382 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: you take the side of a murderous terrorist group against 383 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: the United States and Israel, You're gonna lose but this 384 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: protest block traffic. Some people started pouring out of their 385 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: cars and got into fights with the demonstrators, and what 386 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: happened on live television, which I think you know there 387 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: should be more of the Only way to stop these 388 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 1: demonstrations is to get out and defend your territory, because 389 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: it's not freedom of speech. That's that's a stupid I 390 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't call it a misunderstanding, it's a non understanding of 391 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: how the laws and the constitution works. You could say 392 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: what you want, but you have no constitutional right to 393 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: block traffic on a major freeway none. In fact, protests 394 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: are fine if they're confined to certain public areas like 395 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 1: a park, and you're supposed to apply for a permit, 396 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: and you have a designated time in place to protest. 397 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: That's how it works in the civilized world. Here in 398 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: communist Los Angeles, though, Karen Vass doesn't enforce those laws, 399 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: and she lets all the crazy lunatics, no matter what 400 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: their stupid issue is, lock the freeways of normal people 401 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: who want to go to work. So, if you remember 402 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: December of twenty twenty three, these motorists poured out of 403 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: their cars, got into fights. Now we have this weird 404 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: little city attorney in La named Heidi Feldstein STOs Id 405 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: Feldstein Soto, and she charged many of the protesters with 406 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: unlawful assembly, failure to disperse, failure to comply with the 407 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: lawful order, obstruction of the street sidewalk, blah blah blah, misdemeanors. 408 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: How many are going to jail? Nobody, and the charges 409 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 1: may all be dropped. A judge is putting twenty nine 410 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: of the protesters into a diversion program. They have to 411 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: perform twenty hours of community service. Well, that's not going 412 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: to stop them from blocking the freeways the next time. 413 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: You can't even tell a lot of these people if 414 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: they really care about their protest or they're getting paid. 415 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: Like the No King's protest from last weekend, a lot 416 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: of those people were paid. Some of the journalists have 417 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: published documents on the internet showing the millions of dollars 418 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: dozens and dozens of organizations spent in order to fund 419 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: these fake protests. A lot of them were fake paid protesters. 420 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: In fact, one citizens journalist went up, took the video, 421 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: interviewed four people at a protest. Three out of the 422 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: four were paid. SI a small, tiny sample size, but 423 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 1: so excuse me. A judge put twenty nine protesters into 424 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: a twelve month diversion program. They each performed twenty hours 425 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: of community service. So is that the whole diversion program? 426 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: Twenty hours of community service over twelve months. I don't 427 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: know what is that? Fifteen minutes a week. If they 428 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: complete that service and obey the law, then the charges 429 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: will be dismissed. Their attorney, Colleen Flynn, who also seems 430 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: to be a nut, sent her client, we're motivated by 431 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: a moral duty to bring attention to the loss of 432 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: life and humanitarian crisis going on in Gaza, right because 433 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: nobody knew about it. This is two months after the 434 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: Hamas terrorists committed all those horrific atrocities. And I don't 435 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: know is that even in the news raise awareness another 436 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: one of those stupid phrases. And uh, but you know 437 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: nobody's going You know, if everybody went to jail for 438 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: a year, you'd stopped this nonsense, which is what ought 439 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 1: to happen. Nobody should be allowed to block a freeway. 440 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: You block a freeway that ought to be a felony 441 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: and go to prison for like five years or more more. 442 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 1: I talk about this the more harsh of the sentence, 443 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: I want, I I just don't. Nobody wants to enforce 444 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: any laws, Nobody wants anybody arrested. Nobody nobody's no laws 445 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: are in forest, nobody's put in jail. And so you 446 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: end up with the same absurdity week after week, month 447 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 1: after month, year after year. Maniacs paid maniacs screaming in 448 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: the streets, over all kinds of causes. Half of them 449 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: don't even know what.
