This came out 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: late Friday, and it was a lot of people feel 9 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 1: very disappointed, and it's about Rick Caruso announcing he's not 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 1: running for mayor, not running for governor not running for 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: anything that for it seems largely personal reasons. He's not 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: going to be a candidate for any public office, not 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: this year. And obviously I was hoping everybody I know 14 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: who hates the way Los Angeles and or California has 15 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: has evolved, we sorry to hear that. And I don't 16 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 1: know why We're going to get him on at some point, 17 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 1: but not this minute, and I'm not going to pretend 18 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: to know, you know, how he came to that decision. 19 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: It seemed like he was running a campaign online because 20 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: there were numerous posts that he put on all the 21 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: social media channels, and people were always forwarding them to me, 22 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: and I looked at many of them and it seemed like, 23 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: you know, he was putting the building blocks together for 24 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: a theme, for a set of issues, and he was 25 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: right on everything he sent it. Around the disastrous administration 26 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: that Karen Bass has had, I mean, it's hard to 27 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it just couldn't be worse. It could not 28 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: be worse. And I have no interest in hearing the 29 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: other side, no interest in their been and lies and bs. 30 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: Karen Bess and everybody around her has been the most 31 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: destructive thing I've ever seen anywhere to a city or 32 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: a town. I just it's it's tremendous, it's horrific, it's awful. 33 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't believe any of her fake statistics. I just 34 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: wish she would go away. I'm tired of hearing about 35 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: I can't listen to her voice. I'm just completely sick 36 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 1: of her act. And it's just dishonest, and it doesn't 37 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: seem to show any care at all for the taxpayers, 38 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: the citizens of Los Angeles, not zero. Seems he doesn't 39 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: care what kind of quality of life we have, what 40 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: kind of conditions we have to live in what happens 41 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: to us, our kids, our future, schools, roads, you know, 42 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: palisades future, none of that. You know. Yeah, you want 43 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: to talk about an illegal alien rounded up, Well, she's 44 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: your girl, you know, And it's entirely predictable. Her background 45 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: was that of someone who is maybe almost literally in 46 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: love with Fidel Castro, the communist leader in Cuba. She 47 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: took many, many trips to Cuba. She joined this weird brigade, 48 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: Vincemero's brigade, and these were Cuba Castro worshipers, and they 49 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: wanted to bring some some flavor of socialism and communism 50 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: into this country. And you know, at the age of 51 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: seventy two, she's in she's running Los Angeles and she's 52 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: destroying Los Angeles and turning it into a pretty good 53 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: facsimile of what Cuba's like. Well, actually, I've been to Cuba, 54 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: and many parts of Cuba is significantly better than what 55 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: La is. So that's what we're with, stuck with and 56 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: without Rick Caruso, what are we got? We got Spencer Pratt, 57 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: who has really done a tremendous job fighting the Beast administration. 58 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: Over All the nonsense connected to the fire highlighting it 59 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: and keeping everybody motivated and energized. And then you have 60 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: Austin Butner, who's been a long time not only businessman, 61 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: but he's been involved in government. He was in the 62 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: Viagosa administration. He also was the school chancellor in LA 63 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: and he's kind of done a lot of things, and 64 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: he's running and he's kind of a kind of a 65 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: quieter version of Caruso, certainly much much quieter than Pratt. 66 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: And I don't know if he cuts through. I don't 67 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: know if enough people are gonna take Spencer Pratt seriously enough. 68 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,559 Speaker 1: I don't know, But the uh either you know right now, 69 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: you can't. I just can't. It can't be. Can't be, 70 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: Karen Bass, this can't be the next four years because this, this, 71 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: this is just we're We're already in an extreme situation. 72 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: It really is an emergency, and not only her but 73 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: the city council. I can't mean. How many bad people 74 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: are running the city right now? Bad character, bad intentions, 75 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: bad in terms of competence and execution. How many bad 76 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 1: people we've had and are still in office. I'm in 77 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: the fire encapsulated everything. Bad fire chief, second fire chief 78 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: was bad, the department of Wader and Power CEO Jenny's 79 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: Quinone is bad. The Deputy Mayor in charge of Police 80 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: and Fire, Brian Williams bad, I mean crazy bad. He 81 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: calls in, he calls it a death threat, a bomb 82 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: threat to city Hall and gets put basically on house arrest, 83 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: and then he's not available to work. When the fires 84 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: broke out. After Karen Bass went to Ghana, there was 85 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,559 Speaker 1: literally nobody in charge. Kristin Crowley, the fire chief, afraid 86 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: of her own shadow, afraid to spend an extra dollar 87 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: to keep fire crews not only at the scene of 88 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: the original fire, but also on duty for a second 89 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: shift the day of the fire. I mean, there's so 90 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: much bad stuff, so much incompetent stuff, so much bad spending, 91 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: all the billions of dollars on homeless, down the toilet, 92 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: stolen the homeless. The homeless industry here in Los Angeles 93 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: is almost entirely made of theft, theft by nonprofits, theft 94 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: by bureaucrats, theft by some of the politicians involved. I mean, 95 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: how many how many politicians on the city Council over 96 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: the last few years have gone to jail or on 97 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: their way to jail, four or five, six, I think six. 98 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: If you add them all up, it's and there's maybe 99 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: two same people on the fifteen members city council, maybe three, 100 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: But they're dwarfed by criminals and grifters and stupid people. 101 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: We have out and out socialists, borderline communists. There's four 102 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: or five of them now, and they seem to be 103 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: driving the whole debate. Can't live like this, you can't 104 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: do this. This is a disaster. It's a failure. I'm 105 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: sick of all the progressive nonsense. It's terribly damaging. I zero. 106 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to hear anymore about the money that 107 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: we're spending on the homeless. It all ought to stop. 108 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: I've traveled a lot to other places. I probably went 109 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: to seven different states in the last year. None of 110 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: them have anything like this, none of them. None of 111 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: them have the homeless, None of them have the quality 112 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: of life problems, the garbage problems, the crime problems, none 113 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: of them. This is really unique to the city of 114 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, and it's entirely the fault of the people 115 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: in power. If you changed and put other people in 116 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: power who are rational and competent, life would get better 117 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: really fast. I don't know what else to tell you. 118 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: Rick Caruso obviously embodied all the right things on the 119 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 1: way you could govern a place. And I'm sorry he's 120 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: not running, but we're gonna have to live with that, 121 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: and we just can't return Karen Bass. Good lord. Nobody 122 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 1: can make a case for her. Nobody. If you try 123 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: to make a case for her, I'm sorry, you're clinically insane. 124 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 1: There's no gray area here, there's no room for debate. 125 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: There is no other side of the story. Let's be 126 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: real here, there's no other side of the story. When 127 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: I hear or read people going, well, I really like her, 128 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: you're you're cl clinically insane. I'll take you on a drive. 129 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: I'll pay for the gas. You come with me for 130 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: a day. Tell you tell me, you tell me that 131 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm not right. Of course, I'm right. Of course, are 132 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: actually hundreds of thousands of people, millions of people here 133 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: in this city know what I'm talking about. So we'll 134 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: talk more about this coming up. 135 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 136 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: All right, let's uh continue about Rick Caruso deciding late 137 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: on Friday is not going to run, and a big 138 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: blow to a lot of people who really want Los 139 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: Angeles to be the way it was not that long ago. 140 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: The combined damage of nine and a half years of 141 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: Eric Garcetti and the last three years of Karen Bass 142 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: has just ruined the place, absolutely ruined the place.

I just don't understand 231 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: what's wrong with everybody? Why do you want that? So 232 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: then I go to other cities, other towns, other states, 233 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: and there's nobody. There's nobody dying in the streets. I 234 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: looked it up because sometimes I think I'm crazy. And 235 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: we have almost fifty percent of what they call the 236 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: unsheltered homeless in the country. Almost half the homeless that 237 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: live outdoors are in the state of California, and forty 238 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: nine other states have the other half. So one state 239 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: that has thirty nine million people has almost half the 240 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: outdoor homeless, and then the other forty nine states that 241 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: total up the other three hundred million people has the 242 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: other half. So forty nine states with three hundred million 243 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 1: people has half. One state with thirty nine million people 244 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: has the other half. And I can't tell you. When 245 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: I get out of state and tell them I'm from California, 246 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: their their eyes cross. It's like, well, because they've seen 247 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: all this on TV. They know and then I see 248 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: that that Gavin Newsom is in Europe running for president, 249 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: and he's telling off, he's telling off the European leaders 250 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: for doing for doing any for doing Trump's bidding. I 251 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: see Trump cleans up cities. I don't care if it's 252 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: the National Guard. I don't care if it's the Marines, 253 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: the Navy, the Army. Sent them into Washington, d C. 254 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: Cleaned it up, set it into Memphis, cleaned it up, 255 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: sent them here. We stopped the uh the ice riots. 256 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 1: Good good ant. At this point, I don't care if legal, illegal, constitutional, unconstitutional. 257 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: All I know is he went in there. The city's 258 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: got cleaned up. What do we got here? And most 259 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: cities weren't disgusting to begin with. We didn't used to 260 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: be disgusting. We're disgusting. And I see people sometimes, oh, 261 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,199 Speaker 1: you're being negative the no. I'm telling no, I'm not 262 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: the problem pointing it out and talking about it. You're 263 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: the problem that you don't do anything about it. You 264 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: like walking around in the filth. What's wrong with you? 265 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: You're crazy, not me. That's the thing. It's gotten to 266 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: the point where if you pointed out and you criticize it, like, well, 267 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: why are you saying so many negatives? This guy found 268 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: three homeless people in a morning job. This some kind 269 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: of insanity has taken over. I don't know what to say. 270 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: You can't really argue with insane people, you can't debate them. 271 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: And the insane people are running the place all right, 272 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: So hopefully talk to Rick Caruso. Maybe I could talk 273 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: them back into running. I don't know. 274 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 2: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 275 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: six forty. 276 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: So we talked about the first half hour, Rick Caruso 277 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: not running for office and something. I don't know if 278 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: somebody else is going to jump in or or or 279 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: either Austin Butter or Spencer Pratt have to catch fire here. 280 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,719 Speaker 1: They really have to campaign furiously and get everybody's attention. 281 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: I know Pratt is probably gonna put on a good show. 282 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: I don't know how much fire there is an Austin 283 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: Buner's campaign. You just don't hear much about him. Well, 284 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 1: he certainly would have the experience to do it. The 285 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: mayor and city council people, many of them get in 286 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: because of union support. The city unions, they guarantee a 287 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: huge number of votes. They actually bother to vote, and 288 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: in return they get all kinds of kickbacks from the government. 289 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: So of course they vote because it means higher wages, 290 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: higher pensions, greater health care benefits, So of course they vote. 291 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 1: And that's the cycle their parasites. They suck money out 292 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: of the public, and this money goes to the city. 293 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: The city transfers it to the unions. The union then 294 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: kicks back in the form of campaign contributions and god, 295 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: you know, all kinds of payments that we can't we 296 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 1: can't see. And the officeholders get rich, The people who 297 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: run the unions get rich. The union people themselves make 298 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: more and more money. And we're taxed more than almost 299 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: anybody else in the country. And what do we get 300 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: back for it? What do we get back? Because it 301 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: used to be we all knew that the government was 302 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: filled with criminals and grifters, and maybe everybody was skimming 303 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: ten percent off the top. What the Bob used to do? 304 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: You know, they want their slice here they have the 305 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: whole pie. I mean, I mean virtually all the money, 306 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: almost money is stolen here in Los Angeles, I mean 307 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: all of it. Because everything just keeps getting worse and worse, 308 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: and it has for over a decade, so all the 309 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: money is stolen and they now they they lose track 310 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: of it. And when Karen Bass was supposed to go 311 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 1: and testify in a civil trial and be questioned, she 312 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: hired literally fifteen attorneys so she wouldn't have to be questioned. 313 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: And you know, just in La alone, it's two billion dollars, 314 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: two billion dollars that evaporated. And every day I wake 315 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: up and I think about that. Every time I see 316 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: a homeless person, I think, Wow, two billion dollars of 317 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: tax money, including some of my money, and it's all gone. 318 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: And Karen Bass never had to explain, and she's never asked, 319 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: And all she wants to talk about now is the 320 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: Olympics and how horrible it is that federal immigration law 321 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: is being enforced. That's it. Doesn't want to account for 322 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: the two billion? Where did it go? Boy? I'd like 323 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 1: to know. I'd like to do an honor of her 324 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: financial holdings the way they want to do, and basically 325 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: a massive investigation into every single thing that billionaires own 326 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: in this state. There are there are, there is a 327 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: proposal to go on the California ballot. Now, it hasn't 328 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: even gone out for signatures yet but this proposal could 329 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: be on the ballot in November. And this would tax 330 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: California billionaires five percent of their net worth, including all 331 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: their stockholdings, which is weird because stocks go up and down. 332 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: It's not about taxing after they cash in their profits. 333 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: This is about taxing their holdings, which hasn't been done 334 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: before in this country. And there's a number of billionaires 335 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: who said, you know, we're going to leave or we're 336 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: going to transfer a lot of our business out of here. 337 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: You will know they won't They always say that, well 338 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: they have, and I'll tell you who did it. I 339 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: and this is this is this is the buzz saw 340 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: that Caruso is headed for because he's worth about six 341 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: billion dollars. What is with everybody's obsession with how much 342 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: money somebody else has? H rick Caruso made his money, Honestly, 343 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: Karen Bass has overseen the theft of billions in homeless 344 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: funds and doesn't explain what happened. Caruso is the bad 345 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: guy and Karen Bass is the is the good guy. 346 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: The money evaporated under her and she doesn't want to 347 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: talk about it. But they want to confiscate five percent 348 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: of uh Caruso's wealth. Huh, why what do you do? 349 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: All these guys here, I'm looking at the ones who 350 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: are threatening to leave from all of them. What did 351 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: they do? They made money? They start with who they are. 352 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: We're talking about the co founders of Google, Larry Page 353 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 1: and Sergei Brinn. Now do you use Go? Do you 354 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: use Google? Any of their products made by any of 355 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: their subsidiary companies. Google is still headquartered in California, but 356 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: December filings to the California Secretary of State show other 357 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: companies died tied to Page and Brint converted to out 358 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 1: of state. One of the companies they manage, known as 359 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: t Rex Holdings, moved from Palo alto Dorino last month. 360 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: So now California can't get at their money because the 361 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: way it works, this may pass in November, but it's 362 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: retroactive to January first, twenty two, twenty six. So to 363 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: avoid the five percent tax, you had to move your 364 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: assets or move yourself out of California before January first, 365 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, and so they did. A lot of 366 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: wealthy guys are going to Florida and Texas, Miami and Austin, 367 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: which are becoming financial centers, so you're gonna get zero 368 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: from them. But again, they earn their money. Honestly, what 369 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 1: are you pissed about? Chip Bezos built to Amazon out 370 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: of his own imagination card table in a garage. Why 371 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: are you pissed that he's making money? Most people order 372 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 1: from Amazon all day and night. What's so terrible? You 373 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: got a great service, it works. He owns a lot 374 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: of stock. Stock is worth a tremendous amount of money. 375 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: Why is that bad? How many people does he employ? 376 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: How many people do you employ? So that's what's funny. 377 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: The people who complain they employ nobody. They've started no businesses, 378 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: they've taken no risk. They just want to steal other 379 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: people's money. They're grifters. These unions are grifters. They're like 380 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: the homeless nonprofits. Everything's about stealing money. The homeless nonprofits 381 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: steal money. These union leaders, they want to take billionaires money. 382 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: You didn't earn it. It's not yours. It's not your 383 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: business what they spend it on. Every time I read 384 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: about this stuff, by first reaction, is not your business. 385 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: Every dollar I make, I decide what happens to it. 386 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: Every dollar I make, I just say I don't care 387 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: what you think. You can shame me, boom me tell 388 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: me I should do this, that and the other thing. 389 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: Don't pound sand not your money, you have no right 390 00:26:52,280 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: to take it none.

Timothy Bussfield 422 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 1: sixty eight years old. He has appeared in everything from 423 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: The West Wing to Field of Dreams and many other things. 424 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: For the last four years, Busfield has acted and directed 425 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: a program called The Cleaning Lady. It's a Fox show. 426 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 6: I watched it the first season. 427 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: What is it about? It's about a cleaning lady. 428 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 6: It's about a cleaning lady who doesn't want to be deported. 429 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,479 Speaker 6: I forgot where she was from. She was a long 430 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 6: time ago. 431 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: The Philippines maybe really made an impression on you. 432 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 6: It was a long time ago. I only watched the 433 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 6: first season. But the star, the cleaning lady, had a 434 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 6: son who was really ill, and so she was doing 435 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 6: jobs for like a drug cartel kind of guy, so 436 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 6: that she can have money to get drugs, not bad drugs, 437 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 6: but medical drugs for her son. And so the sun 438 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 6: was played by twins, and that's the that's the kid 439 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 6: that's the subject of what's going on in Busfield. 440 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, both kids apparently are making claims and they were 441 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: seven and eight years old. The abuse between November twenty 442 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: two and spring of twenty four. So Busfield turned himself 443 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: in one count of child abuse, two counts of criminal 444 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: sexual contact of a minor. The parents of the two 445 00:30:55,160 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: boys accusing bus Field of touching the children on multiple occasions, 446 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: and the boys said it was on their intimate parts. 447 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: Busfield is denying this heatedly the defense. Busfield's defense says 448 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: they have audio recordings of the kid's interviews with Albuquerque 449 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: police in which they deny that he ever touched them, 450 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: and he told investigators that another actor on the show 451 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: said the boy's mother was upset with Busfield because her 452 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: children were not brought back for the show's final season, 453 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: and Busfield says that the mom wanted revenge. And now 454 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: the Warner Brothers, which produced the show, hired a law 455 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: firm to do an independent investigation, and the firm, Solomon 456 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: Bloke excuse me, Solomon Law found no evidence to corroborate 457 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: the claims. Christine mcgovernn was the attorney. The investigator said 458 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: that she found no evidence that he engaged in any 459 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 1: inappropriate conduct. He was ever alone with the twins on 460 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: the set. Now, you put that aside for a second, right, 461 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: But here's what sinks a lot of celebrities in these cases. 462 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 1: There is another allegation sex abuse of a sixteen year 463 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: old girl. He's not been criminally charged with that, but 464 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: the girl's father has come forward and said that Busfield 465 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: kissed her and touched her in her parts several years ago, 466 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: and that Bussfield begged the family to hold off on 467 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: reporting if he agreed to go to therapy. And so 468 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: this is the stuff where you might put up a 469 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: vigorous defense and maybe the charges are murky and you 470 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: might be able to escape. But then the second charge 471 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: comes in, and in a lot of cases, the third 472 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: charge and the fourth charge, and then it's bye bye 473 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 1: to the career for sure, and maybe bye bye to 474 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: your freedom. We'll see Alex Stone. ABC News is coming 475 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: up because this hearing today is to determine whether Bussfield 476 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: can be trusted to be out on bail or should 477 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: he remain locked up in an Albuquerque, New Mexico jail. 478 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: So we'll get Alex on next.
