1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,720 Speaker 1: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every day 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: from one until four o'clock. John Cobelt's Show on Demand 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,239 Speaker 1: is what you can listen to after four o'clock. It's 5 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: the podcast. It's the same as the radio show. So 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: if you weren't here, we've covered a lot of two 7 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: issues today, in particular, I don't know, I really want 8 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: to play that Tracy Park thing again before. That was 9 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: pretty powerful. I know, you know, I have that ready. 10 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: Maybe this segment all right, because we've got the moistline 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: coming up. It got Carl Demio coming up, and I 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: just think every once in a while you get someone 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 1: in office, and not many times where they just are 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: absolutely right, And I don't want this to fade away. 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:48,159 Speaker 1: Tracy Park did four minutes of brilliance lecturing the La 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: City Council on the stupidity of their budget, the shrink 17 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: in the fire department, their shrinking the police department, and 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: we're still spending well over a billion dollars on the 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: homeless and all those programs have failed. And we've been 20 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: yelling about this, well, the homeless stuff for ten years. 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: Ever since we found out the Palisades fire, nobody knew 22 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: that we only need half a fire department. And it's true, 23 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: she says it. We've been telling you it. We only 24 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: have half a fire department because you're supposed to have 25 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: about two firefighters per one thousand residents, and we in 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: LA we have zero point nine firefighters per thousand residents. 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: And we haven't had a fire station built since the 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,319 Speaker 1: nineteen sixties. All right, So in a few minutes, we're 29 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: gonna play Tracy Park. I'm telling you, just whatever you're doing, 30 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: set it aside for four minutes. It's worth it. But 31 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: there was other fire news. There's another rule in life. 32 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: If you knock on someone's door and their thirty five 33 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: year old son is living with them, odds are that's 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. By thirty five, you should be 35 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: out of the house, especially if you're a guy. You're 36 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: sitting home alone with mom and dad. What happens if 37 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: you're going through a divorce. 38 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: And you're starting to get back on your feet and 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: rediscover life and whatever, and so it's temporary. 40 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, you should never be thirty five 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: and living with your parents. If you're taking care of 42 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: your parents. I'll give a limited exception, but I want 43 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: to do an inspection. They're bad news. This is classic. 44 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: This guy was from Norco and you'll remember this story. 45 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: His name is Justin Haustenberg. He was convicted of intentionally 46 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: igniting the Line fire in San Bernardino County back in September. 47 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: They had to evacuate eleven thousand people and it damaged 48 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: a number of properties, and he started three separate fires 49 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: in within an hour in the city of Highland, which 50 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: is at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains. He 51 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: pleaded not guilty to starting the fire. His mother said 52 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: at the time to the La Times, I do want 53 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: to say this about my baby boy. He did not 54 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: light that fire. I repeat, he did not light that fire. 55 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: And when I saw baby boy. 56 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 3: Okay, so if baby boy wasn't in there, it would 57 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 3: be as gross. 58 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 4: Well. 59 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,519 Speaker 1: First of all, I knew he was guilty, and I 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: knew why he was guilty, because he's been he's been 61 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: coddled and protected all his life, and he turned into 62 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: a psycho. He got away with everything. I think he's 63 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: probably been born a psycho. He practiced setting fires. Back 64 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and who were up a valley. 65 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: He came up with an ignition device. It was a 66 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: cigarette box filled with paper and coins that weighed down 67 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: so when he tossed it would land in the brush. 68 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: And a similar device started the line fire, and they 69 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: traced They traced the fire to him. His mother also 70 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: told the Times that he is not an arsonist. Well, 71 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: the jury decided he was an arsonist, guilty of seven 72 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: counts related to the line fire, two counts related to 73 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: another a second fire. His charges include aggravated arson the 74 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: forest land and property possession of flammable materials. Could face 75 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: life in prison. I bet you they won't give it 76 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: to him, though, because his mom is going to say, well, 77 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: he's my baby boy. That might grow some people up. 78 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: It's my deabty. Did you see the guy told me 79 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: I did a lot when this story first out. Go 80 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: look at his foot. Complete goon, complete scary goon. When 81 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: they found him, when they arrested him, he was back 82 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: at his parents' house. Oh honey, did you have a 83 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: good daylighting fires? What would you like for dinner? You're 84 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: full of ash and soot. We go take a shower first, deer, 85 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: and then we'll eat you smell like smoke. All right, 86 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 1: let's play this Tracy Park thing. This is the way 87 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: everybody in government should govern. This is the way they 88 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: should sound, This is what they should say. All right, 89 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: this is what I expect. This is the new standard 90 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: after start. Wait, wait, wait, hold on, Tracy Park. If 91 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: you don't know, she's the West Side council person in LA, 92 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: she's my council person. And she voted against this budget 93 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: with two others and she explained why and you tell me, 94 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 1: you tell me one line here that is incorrect. Now 95 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: go ahead. 96 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: At the start of this budget process, we made a 97 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: promise to maintain core services and minimize impacts to Angelino's. 98 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 2: But this budget doesn't reflect those promises. It's bloated with 99 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: homeless spending, a bottomless. 100 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 5: Pit and taxpayer. 101 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: Boondoggle that doubles down on failure year after year, and frankly, 102 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 2: at this point, it's just embarrassing. Hundreds of millions of 103 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: dollars on bridge homes and home keys and interim housing sites, 104 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: and no one can even tell us which ones are 105 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: operational and which ones aren't, or. 106 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 5: How many beds we have. 107 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 2: Spending a million and a half dollars per door to 108 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: build micro units of housing to give away to homeless 109 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 2: drug addicts, when the vast majority of our own city 110 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 2: employees can never afford a condo at that price. LASA 111 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: is in a free for all. Literally, no one is 112 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 2: able to account for the billions we flushed down the toilet. 113 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 2: The county wisely pulling out while we're over here at 114 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: the city, completely unprepared and so unable to manage our 115 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: own homeless affairs that we're about to be placed in 116 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: receivership by a federal judge. 117 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 5: Again, it's embarrassing. 118 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: I don't think we should agree to spend another penny 119 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: on homelessness. Un how, we, as a full council, not 120 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: just the few of you who get invited into the conversation, 121 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 2: have the chance to chime in and actually cast a 122 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: boat on whether we're finally getting a divorce from wasa 123 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: on what the future of homeless services delivery. 124 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: Looks like in LA. 125 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: But instead of fixing that mess, what did we decide 126 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: to go after the increase we gave our fire department? 127 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: After all, we literally just witnessed in January with our 128 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: own eyes how desperately in need they are, with literally 129 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 2: half the staffing and funding they should have for a 130 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: fire department in a city of our size. There are 131 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 2: still one hundred rigs sitting over at the boneyard, but 132 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: we're sitting here unable to say yes to the mechanics 133 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: that we need to fix them. We're shrinking LAPD in 134 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 2: favor of expanding other programs that haven't been effective, and 135 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: we're doing it right on the cusp of major world 136 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 2: events and in the midst of a crime and homelessness crisis, 137 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: while our residents continue to be victimized in a city 138 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: where the former deputy marriage is pled guilty to calling 139 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: in bomb threats to city Hall. That's the state of 140 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: our city going after our neighborhood councils, the people who 141 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: volunteer their time to help guide us and do good 142 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: things in our neighborhood and in our city. All of 143 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 2: our residents and taxpayers. All they want is a fully 144 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 2: funded police and fire department. They want the sidewalks fixed, 145 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: they want the street lights to work, and they want 146 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: their kids to be able to play at the local 147 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: park without having to step over drug and trash camps. 148 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 2: We are down rabbit holes of spending on things that 149 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 2: no one cares about. We haven't eliminated the price gouging 150 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 2: that we do to ourselves, and just can't in good 151 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: conscience vote for a budget that makes our city less safe, 152 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: less fiscally sound, and even less responsive to our constituents 153 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 2: basic needs. I do appreciate all of the hard work 154 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: that the mayor and the CEO and the CLA and 155 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 2: the budget committee put into this, but I just cannot 156 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 2: support this budget. 157 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,839 Speaker 4: As it stands. 158 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: And then twelve out of the fifteen council members voted 159 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: for the budget to shrink the fire department, to shrink 160 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: the police department, and to continue spending over a billion 161 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: dollars on all the failed homeless programs. And those of 162 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: you who think, well, we've got to do something, you 163 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: know I voted for that tax increase last November. Do 164 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: you hear Tracy Park? It's all failure. Why do you 165 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: think the governor admitted twenty four billion dollars disappeared and 166 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: don't know where it went. Why do you think this 167 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: audit of LASA two billion disappeared, nobody knows where it went. 168 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: Why do you think the county is pulling out a lassa? 169 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: Why do you think?

But they all seem to 305 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,479 Speaker 3: be going to far left wing political groups that are 306 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 3: pushing left wing politics. And so we we we're calling 307 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: it what it is. This is not just wasteful spending, 308 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 3: it is corrupt money laundering for political purposes. The latest 309 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 3: contract we're looking at goes to a group called LA 310 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 3: two one one and it's for a hate crime hotline. 311 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 3: Two years ago, Gavin Newsom did a big, fancy press 312 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 3: conference where he said that hate crimes were on the ruck, 313 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 3: and that he was going to set up a special 314 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 3: hotline that all Californians could call and rat out you 315 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 3: know whoever's been committing hate climbs against them, against them, 316 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: and that the state would investigate and help the victims. Well, 317 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 3: I looked at the contract. It's two point four million 318 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: a year, so we've already spent five over five million dollars, 319 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 3: and I asked for the performance data. What would you 320 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 3: be surprised? Not one single criminal referral has been made, 321 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 3: not one single criminal referral. Only two quote unquote administrative 322 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 3: settlements have been referred. And these are duplicative of programs 323 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 3: that are already in the state that deal with workplace discrimination. 324 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 3: Both of these items were workplace issues. We already have 325 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 3: programs for that, and they're charging us about thirty five 326 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 3: hundred dollars per call referred. And of course, as I 327 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 3: just mentioned, none of those referrals have resulted in any 328 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 3: criminal charges. This is nothing more than a hoax hotline, 329 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: a hate hoax hotline, and we believe it needs to 330 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 3: be terminated. 331 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: And I bet you've got a lot of publicity at 332 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: the time for this. 333 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 3: Well, Newsom got a lot of publicity two years ago 334 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 3: because the liberal media said, that's right, hate crimes are terrible. 335 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 3: We need a hotline. There's so many of them. We 336 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 3: need a hotline to take all these awful cases and 337 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 3: get people the help they need. Well, of course, two 338 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 3: years later, no such thing, nothing is happening. And I 339 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 3: released this this week and most of the liberal media 340 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 3: in California just ignored it, you know. But you know 341 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 3: what Newsom does. He funds this two point five million 342 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 3: dollar no big contract for a phony hotline on hate crimes, 343 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: but he cut nineteen million dollars from a similar help 344 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 3: desk for foster kids and foster families. Do you understand 345 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: just how insanely bad his judgment is putting up a 346 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 3: two point five million dollar fake hotline for hate crimes 347 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 3: while he's gutting a hotline and helped desk for foster 348 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 3: kids and foster. 349 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: Family Okay, so what's his motivation for awarding this no 350 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: big contract to this lefty organization? Are Are they his friends? Relatives, 351 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: political associates? I mean, there must have been a reason 352 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: he did this. He's rewarding somebody. This is some kind 353 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: of money laundering. 354 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 11: There's an upside for who though, Well, yeah, sometimes it's 355 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 11: corruption in terms of you know, kickbacks, and we haven't 356 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 11: been able to look, you know, deeper into that angle. 357 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: But mainly, these are these contracts, these no big contracts 358 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: in grants to left wing organizations. It's how democrats fund 359 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 3: left wing politics. They're using your tax payer money for 360 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 3: their political agendas. And what we're finding is that it's 361 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 3: hundreds of millions of dollars. We're not just talking about 362 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 3: one contract. We're tracking over two hundred and fifty million 363 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: dollars a year in funding going to left wing political advocacy, 364 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: including ballot harvesting and the support of ballot measures and 365 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 3: tax increases. 366 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 1: So, I mean, what I'm also getting at here is 367 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: that five million dollars and there were no actual hate 368 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: crime recommendations, hate crime calls. So what did they really 369 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: do with the money. They didn't need five million dollars 370 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: to answer the phone twice, what you know, for two recommendations, 371 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: So what what really does the money go for? That's 372 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: why I'm trying to get at the money laundry. 373 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 3: I think it's going for either either some sort of 374 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 3: corrupt kickback or more likely, it goes to fund political advocacy, lobbying, 375 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 3: issue advocacy, harvesting of ballots. We've been tracking this for 376 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 3: a long time where we see funds going to left 377 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 3: wing organizations, no deliverables whatsoever in the contractor grant. But 378 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 3: then these same organizations seem to have a whole lot 379 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 3: of money to spend on politics and get out the 380 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 3: vote and candidates that they're supporting and ballot measures like 381 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 3: tax increases. So we're not stupid about this. We know 382 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 3: that money is fungible, and when you award a contract 383 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 3: and there's no real defined deliverable and when there's no 384 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,199 Speaker 3: real performance that you can you can verify, the money 385 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 3: typically is diverted to the political machine that they're building. 386 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he gets a lot of coverage on day one, 387 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: and everybody loves to run hate crime stories in the media. 388 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: I don't get the obsession, but they're all progressives in 389 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,959 Speaker 1: the media, so they run these hate crime stories and 390 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 1: then nobody in the entire state, for any TV, radio, 391 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: internet site, newspaper, nobody ever follows up and says, hey, 392 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: what did they do with all that money? What was 393 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: the outcome. I mean, you're the first one to find 394 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: this out. 395 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like putting little reminders in my Outlook calendar. Whatever, 396 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 3: Gavenus and more. One of these politicians does one of 397 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 3: these fancy press conferences saying that, oh, you know, they're 398 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: going to combat hate crimes, or climate change is going 399 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 3: to be ended through this program. Or Gavin Newsom says 400 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 3: I'm going to order an investigation into why the gas 401 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: prices are so high. I always put an Outlook reminder 402 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 3: on my calendar for twelve months later to go back 403 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 3: and check to see if anything actually happened. And you 404 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 3: know what, would you be surprised, John? Nine times out 405 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,400 Speaker 3: of ten, nothing at all. It's just a stunt. This 406 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 3: is all BS, and they waste millions of dollars of 407 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 3: taxpayer money and Lord knows where it goes. So we 408 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 3: have a budget deficit, and I believe that we can 409 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: actually balance our budget without draconian cuts to things like 410 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 3: that foster care hotline, which I think is really important. 411 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 3: We can do it without these draconian cuts if we 412 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 3: just get rid of the waste, fraud, and abuse, and 413 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 3: there's plenty of it in the state budget, all right. 414 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: Well, as you find it, come here. You always have 415 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: a home. We'll be bringing it to your attention apps. 416 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: Thanks so much, all right, Carl to Mai.

Oh got I hate that. 418 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: I I nothing worse than a hate crime story because 419 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 1: because they constantly are giving out phony statistics. You know, 420 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: let's say, hate crimes against group X, there's up twenty 421 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: seven percent this year, and you find out that, yeah, 422 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: last year there were eight hate crimes and this year 423 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: there were ten, and so we have this double digit increase, 424 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: and there's usually a press conference and there's these pompous, 425 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: arrogant directors from whatever, and then they're getting they're getting 426 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: tax money. They're getting millions of dollars of tax money. 427 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: This because you're not supposed to like, object to hate 428 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: crime legislation, right, you can't object to a hate crime 429 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,959 Speaker 1: organization getting our tax money for a hotline that produced 430 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: two administrative referrals and no crimes. How can you have 431 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: a hate crime hotline and nobody calls it a crime 432 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: for two years? How can that be? But if anybody 433 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: piped up at the time and acting skepticals, well you 434 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: must be some racist sex is homophobe. Well, it turns 435 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: out it was a bust. It was a scam. A racket, 436 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: that's what it was. Most of this stuff, nearly all 437 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: of this stuff is a racket. And I'm glad Carl 438 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: one guy in the entire state of California, he had 439 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: a forty million people is investigating it.

He's part of the Trump administration. 443 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: He's been on our show, and he had a town 444 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: hall meeting crowded auditorium, and a number of employees for 445 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: the National Institute of Health got up and walked out 446 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: on him. And everyone that walked out was wearing a mask. 447 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 1: We'll explain this debor Mark Live.

I could 453 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: talk slower, if that's okay, all right. 454 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 6: You're listening to John cobels on demand from KFI AM 455 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 6: sixty real quick. 456 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: So Jay Abatachara is now the head of the National 457 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: Institute of Health, and he gave a town hall meeting 458 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: and he was one of the most vocal COVID skeptics, 459 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,919 Speaker 1: and he was treated treated badly by the Biden administration. 460 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: He was shut down on social media. Turned out Jay 461 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: Batacharya was correct, and so now Trump made him the 462 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: head of NIH. And he told his employees it's possible 463 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: the pandemic was caused by research conducted by human beings, 464 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: and it's possible that the NIH partly sponsored that research. 465 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: That's right. Fauci's money went to fund the research that 466 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: led to COVID. And we've known this for a while. 467 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: So you had a group of employees who were sitting 468 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: in the auditorium, and incidentally, they were all wearing masks. 469 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 1: The ones who then got up and walked out, they 470 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: marched out, several dozen of them wearing face masks because 471 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: they were so offended the by the idea that their 472 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: their department, National Institute of Health, they were responsible for COVID, 473 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: their money was responsible for COVID, and that it was 474 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: human being research that created the situation they couldn't handle it. 475 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: Let's get now to round two of the moistline, and Sean, thanks. 476 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 7: For calling the moistline. 477 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 1: I'm so excited to hear from you about time. 478 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 4: You know, this a diagnosis with the President Biden.
