The John Kobylt Show Hour 2 (05/02) - State Senator Shannon Grove joins John to expose the Democratic leadership in Sacramento for blocking a bill that would’ve made it a felony to buy sex from 16- or 17-year-olds. Senator Grove reveals the shocking reality: predators face as little as two days in jail. Leading the opposition? Assemblymember Nick Shultz — who, ironically, is holding a townhall at a youth center tonight. John calls out this disturbing double standard, urges listeners to confront Shultz in person, and highlights the broader collapse in California's priorities — from a billion-dollar budget shortfall to ignored crime waves in Alta Dena.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
You can hear our show every day from one until
four o'clock and then after four o'clock and you're gonna
want to hear this one. If you missed the first hour,
you're gonna want to hear it. John Cobelt's show on
demand on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Two rounds of the moistline coming up in the three
o'clock hour and around three twenty and three fifty. So
the big story of the day, and it's even headlining
headlined in national news sites. Is something that is confounding
almost everyone. I would say nearly one hundred percent of
(00:41):
the public would like people who buy teenage girls and
boys on the street to be convicted of a felony.
But not the fifty five Democratic Assembly members here in California.
And this has caused a huge ruckus because they actually
voted voted to protect the sixteen and seventeen year olds,
(01:06):
well not no, wait, not to protect the teenagers, protect
the people who buy the teenagers for sex. And this
all started with State Senator Shannon Grove, a Republican from Bakersfield.
Last year, she got a pretty comprehensive bill passed to
try to fight sex trafficking in California, and there was
(01:27):
a lot of Democratic opposition, and then Gavin Newsen stepped in.
But there was one exception that was insisted upon by
the Democrats, and that is making it not an automatic
felony to buy a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex.
Shannon Grove is coming on with us now because they
(01:49):
tried to close that loophole in the Assembly, a Democratic
assembly woman, former prosecutor Maggie Croll. It was her bill,
and she's gotten a lot of crap from her own
party for that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Shannony there, I am John.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Thank you. Nobody believes this story, you know, it's just crazy. No,
this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
This is one of the most insane stories that I've
ever seen. And that is saying a lot because we've
been covering California for thirty years and this is up
there on the all time list. So let's take people back,
you know, kind of condensed as best you can. You
passed a bill last year taking a crack at ending
the human trafficking racket in the state, talk about the
(02:32):
bill that you got passed, and why this exception occurred
for the sixteen and seventeen year olds.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So go back one more year. We had SB fourteen.
It was not a serious felony to sell children for
sex or traffic minors for sex in the state of California.
So we made it a serious felony. The serious felony
is a strike offense, so repeat defenders get a lot
more time in prison, keep them away from these kids
that they've been trafficking. That build guidance, assembly, public safety.
(03:02):
And that's the one the governor came out to rescue.
The same people who killed it on Tuesday resurrected it
on Thursday, and the governor eventually signed it. Then our
coalition of human trafficking survivors said, look, you got to
go after the demand. The buyer. They pay their five
hundred bucks or their six hundred bucks, or they're one
thousand dollars or they're one hundred dollars. And because they're
(03:23):
on the girls are on a quota. They described the
quota like the guy the pimp would say, you got
to come up with one thousand dollars. So if you
if you're at nine hundred and you have to get
twenty dollars upop for the next one hundred bucks. I
mean they're required or they don't eat or sleep or
they get beaten. It's nuts.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Wait, so they have to have enough customers and a
night to hit the quota, and otherwise they don't eat
or sleep or they're brutally beaten.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, oh for that, God, yes, horrible. It's horrible. And
California's the number one human trafficking state in the nation.
So then we get they go after the because the buyers,
once they bought you, it was a brutal They just
owned you for that hour or that two hours or
whatever it was. So we went after the buyers specifically
for minor children, and we wanted to give it, give
(04:12):
them a ten thousand dollars fine, put them for a
year in jail. Excuse me, you're in prison, and make
them register the sex offender. So they I went to
public Safety. They're like, we're forcing these amendments on you.
We're only going to cover fifteen years in below, not
sixteen and seventeen, and it's only going to be a wobbler,
so it could still be charged as a misdemeanor and
(04:34):
I said, I refuse to take those amendments, and they said,
then the whole bill dies. So then what do you do.
You have to move forward and protect fifteen year olds
and below. So we did that, and I promised I'd
never stopped fighting for sixteen and seventeen year olds. Enter
Maggie Correll, former prosecutor hundreds of human trafficking cases, took
down back page like, this is her field.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
The back page was that website where a lot of
prostitution was financed.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yes, and so she took down back page. This is
she is an expert in this field and a Democrat. Hey,
and a Democrat. So I presented it to her. So
she did a loitering for the purposes of Protestant for purchasing,
loitering for purchasing. So if you're some prea extending out
there watching these girls walk up and down, law enforcement
can give you a ticket for a thousand dollars because
you're loitering for the purpose of purchase. You know, they
(05:24):
can watch them and see if they engage. The whole bit.
And then she added sixteen and seventeen year olds that
were lost in last year's bill, and so she faced
the same paid I did. She got to committee and
they're like, we're not hearing your bill unless you take
sixteen and seventeen year olds out. And so she struggled
with that that she knew she gets the loitering peace
(05:44):
against the purchaser, and so she moved forward. Then they wharfed,
which is without reference to file a bill to the floor,
the previous bill with her original language including sixteen and
seventeen year olds to the floor. The leadership on the
Assembly made a subsequent motion and I'm just going to
go through this. That's a subsequent motion to take out
sixteen and seventeen year old, remove Maggie Correll as the author,
(06:06):
and instead of having solid build it say you will
go to jail or you will go to prison. You
still get only two days in jail. It's a misdemeanor,
and we have the intent of doing something in the
fall to protect sixteen and seventeen year olds.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So right now, if you buy a sixteen year girl
for sex and they catch you, it's two days in jail.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, just long enough to explain to your wife where
you've been. Sorry, I said that, no, Risten, So I
guess California some California Democrats, including leadership, they are actively
stopping good bills to go through to protect children from
(06:48):
being bought solicited for sex.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You're stopping Why are they sacrificing children to sex perverts
who are forcing these girls to have sex with many
partners in night or they get beaten or starved.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Why would they do this? What's their motivation?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I have not yet been able to figure that out.
I can just tell you that every attempt for the
last three years that we have put forward to protect
children in the state of California from being bought, sold
or sold has been dealt with nothing but hostile amendments.
And the last one we had to take by, you know,
(07:30):
basically a gun to our head, because then you lose
the protections for fifteen year olds and you can't just
walk away from them.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh, I understand that, but they're so passionate about it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I mean, this is the hell they want to die on.
Isn't that weird and creepy?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yes, I mean it is the hell they want to
die on. They delayed the floor session for almost an
hour and a half yesterday so the Speaker could meet
with all the members individually make his deal with them
so that they would vote no on Maggie's bill and
yes on the new bill that gave us. The legislature
intends to do something.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Later on to Preah right, The legislature intends to do
something later on. You know, this is a pretty easy
one here. You simply make it a felony period, end
a story. I mean, what, that's right, there's nothing to
discuss here. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
But it's it's been a knockdown drackout for It's been
a knockdown drag out for three years. I mean three
So I'm thinking, hey, it's because I'm a Republican. Let's
get a good Democrat to do it. And who else
but Maggie Carroll. She is a a ten year, fifteen
year prosecutor with a Department of Justice prosecuting him in
traffic the cases took down back page. Who else is
(08:40):
better at that than her? And the public safety care
You should see that. And I don't mean to promote
in a station. The asthletys of all a video of him,
and he's like, well, everybody says, everybody says that Maggie
is a prosecutor. I'm a prosecutor too, And he just
sounded like a whiny baby. I don't even know how
to explain it. I was like, okay, so you're not
(09:01):
getting the credit and didn't think of it. So you're
going to just let these girls continue to be bought.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Shannon, hang on the line. I' on and continue with you.
But I do a news break here.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We got Shannon Grove, the Republican state senator from Bakersfield,
and she started the bowl rolling last year with trying
to end all this sex trafficking of children. She got
as far as fifteen year olds, but the sixteen and
seventeen year olds can still be trafficked. Guys could still
buy them for sex and really not get punished.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
We're talking with state Senator Shannon Grove. She wrote the
original legislation last year to protect minor children from sex predators,
but she was forced into accepting sixteen and seventeen year olds.
So at this moment, if a predator is caught buying
a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex, may not
(10:02):
be a felony, could just be a misdemeanor to make
it an automatic felony. Maggie Crell's bill has to pass,
and she's been trying to get it past. Crell's a Democrat,
a prosecutor involved in a lot of sex trafficking cases
as a prosecutor, and she's running into a brick wall
of Democrats who who want who don't want to make
it a felony. We are talking, as Shannon just pointed out,
(10:26):
young girls and boys being sold on the streets and
they have to have so many sex partners and hit
a certain quota in terms of cash, and if they don't,
they're beaten and starved and not allowed to sleep. And
leading the charge to block Maggie Crell's bill is an
assembly member Nick Schultz. He is the new chairman of
(10:48):
the Public Safety Committee, and he took the bill away
from her, stripped her name off, and now he's controlling
it and says, well, we'll continue the discussion tonight. He
has a town hall meeting coincidentally here in Burbank at
the ACF Burbank Youth Center from seven to nine o'clock.
You ought to go, especially if you've got a teenage
daughter or son. Seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank,
(11:10):
seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank ACF Burbank
Youth Center from seven to nine. Go discuss the matter
with Nick Schultz. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear
from you. Now, let's let's get back to Shannon.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Okay, wait, John, back at for just a second. You
said Nick Schultz is going to be at an ACF
youth center giving a town hall when he won't protect
sixteen and seventeen year olds from being bought for sex.
Are they not youth?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You know what I said to Debra a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I feel like someone's pulling a prank on all of us,
that it can't really be this crazy, But yes he is.
That's his town hall site a youth center.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
His chanshall hall site tonight is a youth center. And
this is the individual who stopped sixteen and seventeen year
olds from being protected from creepy perpetrators that would engage
in buying them for sex. Yes, you just can't make
this stuff up. No I don't. You can't.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
He was the mayor Burbank for the last two years.
I'd never heard of him, but he just got elected
to the Assembly and suddenly he's running the Public Safety Committee.
He's thirty six years old. I looked up his Wikipedia page.
He has two kids. I don't I'm completely flummoxed by this,
which is why I keep searching for Okay, what's the
real story that nobody wants to talk about.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, well, if you find that out, you got to
let me know, because, like I said, for three years,
we have been trying to get kids protected. I mean,
we started out with everyone that's on the street right
without their you know, with not being their own will,
and we had to go back to just miners. But
just and you thought that, oh man, I'm going to
get headway on this, this is easy. You got to
(12:49):
protect miners. And it was a knockdown, drag out, knockdown
drag out.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
He his Wikipedia page says, and I don't know who
wrote this. That is chair of the Public Safety Committee.
Schultz has objected to increased punishments for sex trafficking children,
saying that doing so would not be equitable.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
What could that possibly mean?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So this is what they say. They say it disproportionately
affects people of color in the LGBTQ plus community, and
we agree with that, but on a reverse system, they
are predominantly higher percentage of the victims. It's usually rich
white men with disposable income that will pay for a
kid that's younger, right, right, So the community they say
(13:33):
they want to help is disproportionally a higher volume of
victim than the perpetrator. And they just every piece of
data that has been put forth, they just they don't
even look at it.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
They've got it backwards, and then they got it backwards.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
They're protecting wealthier white guys when the victims are the children.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
You know, I had Sheriff Cooper and Sacramento and law
enforcement partners provided us some of the engagements that took
place between grown men in these kids. And it's the
most disgusting stuff you've ever read. It's like reading a
porn novel if you've ever read. I've never read one,
but I haven't probably liked no I mean, if you
had to imagine what it was like, I would think
(14:16):
that would what would be like. And it is the
most disgusting stuff that these grown men say they want
these children to do. And when they only passed my
bills that allowed fifteen and below, I asked for seventeen
and below they amended it, forced amendimus on me.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
They put a.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Target on sixteen and seventeen year old because now, if
you approach a fifteen year old, you might be a
little cautious because you could get a year in jail
and a fine, and it could and it would be
a felony. But sixteen to seventeen year olds, you know,
two days in jail. If even that you got to
get caught to get two days in jail. People are
we want to reduce the demand.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
But Shannon, it's fifty five members of the Assembly and
a lot of women are involved here, mothers and fathers.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What's has gone on?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
There's I don't have an explanation. I wish I did,
and everybody looks at me, but I'm like, the media
just needs to ask him. Maybe ask him why you
said I didn't even know Nick Schultz had two kids.
Ask him. I don't know, I don't and I don't
want to sound silly on radio, but I have no explanation,
and I'd asked, and they just look at you because
(15:22):
it's not it's not an equitable bill. What doesn't that
even mean?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I know, it's it's one of these nonsense words that's
supposed to me.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I'm like, equitable, equitable. How come we can't make sixteen
and seventeen year olds equitable with fifteen and below? Isn't
that what that means?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It's some kind of shut up word. I'm totally baffled. Well,
I really really glad you came on, and I have
a feeling we'll be talking again soon because some now right,
let me just one quickie know some ways in and
tells them to pass the bill, and they ignore him.
And they've got got Elena Kulanakis, the lieutenant governor telling
(15:57):
him to pass the bill, and the mayor of San
Jose and Nancy Pelosi's daughter. Everybody's saying, past the bill,
let's get over.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
This, and this first term freshman lawmaker that's like a
fourth territory. The suitcase guy prosecutor says no, and like
he's not listening to them, and he went to leadership,
and now the leadership isn't listening to the gu I mean,
he's the head of the Democrat Party and he's like
all he even something I don't remember exactly that was
like all children should be protected, full stop, like no
(16:29):
otter explanation, you.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Know, what if he can't convince his own assembly to
protect sixteen year olds from sexual predators. I don't know
how he's going to run the country.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Thanks for coming on, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Appreciate you. John, have a great day.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
All right, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Coming up after three o'clock, John Manly, who has represented
hundreds and hundreds of victims of child sex abuse. He's
going to come on to talk about this atrocity in
Sacramento where fifty five Democratic Assembly people have banded together
to block a bill that would make it a felony
(17:14):
to buy a sixteen or a seventeen year old kid
and use them for sex. We just had Shannon Grovon,
who got this whole movement started last year as a
state senator, and you know she had She's talked about
something that's hard to hear, hard to visualize and imagine,
but it's at the core of this. The core of
(17:37):
this is that the sixteen and seventeen year old girls
and boys are being basically kidnapped and forced into sex
slavery and degraded in the worst way they have to
and it's wealthier guys, and Shannon said, white guys who've
(17:58):
got the money, and they for them to perform sexual
acts that would make your hair fall out, and it's
just stomach turning. And these girls and boys are forced
to do these things repeatedly, night after night, and if
they don't hit their quota and bring in enough money
and get enough customers, then they are beaten, starved and
(18:21):
they're not allowed to sleep. It's it's it's it's not
just sex trafficking. It's it's it's torture. And I'm astonished
that the Democratic Assembly will not make it a felony.
As she said, the way the law is written now
(18:42):
you if you get caught, it might be two days
in jail.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And the leader of the.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Resistance against making this a felony is Nick Schultz, who's
was the mayor of Burbank up until this year. Nick
Scholtz is now the chairman of the Public Safety Committee.
I'm not making any of this up. He's terman of
the Public Safety Committee, and he has blocked the bill.
(19:10):
He's taken it away from Maggie Crewll, the Democrat who
wrote it, says it's my bill. Now they're going to
rewrite it. And he says, well, we'll have a conversation
maybe late summer. They're trying to make it bury it,
make it go away, and he's he's got a town
hall tonight, and you really want to go. If you
have a child, especially a sixteen or seventeen year old
(19:31):
girl or boy, you I think you need to talk
to Nick Schultz seven to nine o'clock tonight, ACF Burbank
Youth Center, Youth Center, seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue,
seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank, the ACF
Burbank Youth Center. Nick Schultz will explain why sixteen year
(19:57):
old girls should be sold for and if a guy's
caught buying no felony or it's optional, all right, then
John mannuill come on and talk about it. At three o'clock,
the Attorney Mayor Karen Bass is now promising to take
(20:21):
a pay cut. How much do you think we pay
Karen Bass to burn down Pacific balaces? Do you have
any idea what kind of salary she gets? No, it's
less than that.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh yeah, two's seventy five, three oh four.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I think that's the basic salary. I don't think that
includes all the perks and benefits, like it doesn't include
the flight to Ghana or the hotel stay in Ghana.
She got interviewed and admitted that she would take a
pay cut because the city is over a billion dollars short.
(21:01):
Let's play cut number one.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
The first La Mayor, Karen Bass says she will take
a pay cut because of the city's billion dollar budget shortfall.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Take a listen. Are you going to be taking to
help the budget? Absolutely well, we don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
That video was taken by Scott Myers, a local attorney
and conservative activist. The mayor didn't elaborate on how much
of a cut she'd be taking or when. One government
website that tracks all elected official salaries in the state
lists Mayor Bassists annual salary at three hundred four thousand dollars.
The City of La is currently considering scaling back across
(21:39):
the board to close the one billion dollar budget deficit,
which includes laying off more than sixteen hundred city workers
and eliminating some vacant positions. The mayor's thirteen point nine
billion dollar spending plan requires city council approval, and a
vote is scheduled for.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
June, three hundred and four thousand dollars is a.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Lot of money. What's the pay cut going to be?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
She's not saying. You know, she doesn't have a brain
in her head. If she's smart, she would have stated
and made it a big number. She's made enough money.
She was in Congress for over a decade. I think
so she's got the money stashed away somewhere. Did you
see this awful story about the residence in Altadena? Now,
(22:26):
the Palisades has gotten way more attention than Altadena, and
we've given it way more attention. And the people in
Altadena that that is a county run area. They don't
have their own municipal government, so they rely on county supervisor,
county sheriffs. And it looks like the county has completely
(22:47):
failed the residents of Altadena because in the first three
and a half months of the year since the fire,
the number of burglaries is up four hundred and fifty percent.
So the looters are having a party in Altadena. There
were one hundred and forty residential burglaries already this year.
(23:11):
Some homes hit multiple times. I guess these are the
homes that evacuated but didn't burn.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So now that's stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That's why my wife and I spent eight nights in
a cold, dark house with baseball bats because we didn't
want to get looted. Now in the Palisades, they have
the National Guard running checkpoints. It's very difficult to get
in the Palisades, but there's there was a very limited
(23:40):
number of ways to get in there. It's either Sunset
Boulevard or pch.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
There's a lot of ways to get into the Altadena. Yes,
there are a lot of ways, just dozens of ways.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
So they never the National Guard did not create any
checkpoints or very few, and the Guard has been reassigned
to certain intersections. But then they ended operations last week
because there's no longer much traffic, right they were trying
(24:14):
to direct the traffic congestion. Do you know how many
in the Palisades to how many burglaryes. So there's one
hundred and forty in Altadena, only twenty three in the Palisades,
and that is not much different than a year ago
when there was no fire. They had twenty from January
through March and twenty twenty fourth twenty and now it's
up to twenty three because they have the neighborhoods so secured.
(24:40):
The Sheriff's department requested the National Guard come back to Altadena,
but that request was denied by the California Office of
Emergency Management. They said take CHP officers, saying the National
Guard are not peace officers. They cannot perform policing duties.
They can just do traffic control and disaster response. So
(25:04):
the people in Altadena have been completely abandoned by the
government and they're still trying to figure out why the
people in the burned out neighborhoods never got a warning
for up to nine hours.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Nothing gets explained.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They burn you out. What's not burned is looted. Nobody
protects you, nobody explains, nobody's helping you.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Nothing.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Right after two o'clock, we're gonna talk to John Manly.
He is with Manly, Stewart and Finalde they're the number
one firm representing victims of sexual abuse. You know him
from all the major cases that he's handled here in
Los Angeles, including the La Archdiocese. He wants to speak
out on what the uh, perverts, pedophiles, and predators who
(26:04):
govern us on the Assembly Public Safety Committee and in
the Assembly in general. He wants to talk about how
they're blocking a bill that would make it a felony
to buy a sixteen or seventeen year old on the
street for sex. And you've heard that. Nick Schultz is
(26:25):
the chairman of the Public Safety Committee and he's blocking
the bill. In fact, he grabbed the bill away from
the woman who submitted it, Maggie Krell. Maggie is a
Democrat prosecutor and she has spent her career going after
sex traffickers. Well, the bill snatched away because she wants
to actually put him in state prison. And Schultz, it's
(26:47):
claiming it's some equity problem. Well, Manly is going to
take care of that equity argument because he's got some
statistics on who the sex victims are here. They're not
the wealthier white guys who are buying the boys and
girls equity.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
What a load of crap. So oh oh, Nick Schultz,
where's he appearing tonight? Town Hall?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Tonight, Nick Schultz here in Burbank ACF Burbank Youth Center.
That's fitting seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank.
Excuse me, seven to nine o'clock. Not making this up.
He's actually he's actually appearing tonight to take your comments.
Those of you with children, especially sixteen and seventeen year olds.
(27:38):
Schultz doesn't care if they're sold into sex slavery, so
he may want to confront him about that. Okay, Now,
you know, sometimes guys get too much to drink on
a plane, right, And this guy's named Dennis Woodbury. He's
forty nine years old, former CHP captain. He goes on
(27:59):
a plane from LA to Florida. Last month, he drank
a whole bottle of prosecco during the flight.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
They'll serve that much.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And then he grabbed a flight attendant's butt and yelled
I loved you, I love you, and then showed a
second flight attendant attendant a pornographic picture. So he's being
charged with a felony count of abuse of sexual contact
and he could go to prison for two years. The
twist is that the flight attendant who had their butt
(28:35):
grabbed and the flight attendant who is told that Woodbury
loved them, they're both men. He went after two male
flight attendants. He was in the business class section of
Jet Blue going from Fort Lauderdale to lax And before
(28:59):
the flight left the gate, he called the male flight
attendant over and say, hey, you want to see this,
And it was a picture of a dog and a
blurred image of two men having sex in the background.
Imagine you're sitting next to this guy. No, the flight
(29:20):
attendant says, oh my god, and Woodbury excuse me. Captain
Woodbury laughed and said I was wondering how long it
would take you. And then Woodbury suggested the two men
go on a cruise together. When the flight attendant demonstrated
how the plane's oxygen masks worked, he saw Woodbury looking
(29:41):
at him and made a hand pumping motion. I don't
know what that meant. Oh you don't, no, baby. He's
a farmer and he was showing off how he milks cows.
Then the other flight attendant was collecting meal trays. Woodbury
(30:02):
used his left hand to slap the guy's butt and
yell that he loved him.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But he's not done. What was in this prosecco? That's prosecco?
Is well, that's just wine, right, it's Italian wine. Yes, okay,
I'm not gonna go buy some. This is what it does.
I was just showing, guess.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Woodberry then pulled down his pants to expose his penis
to the first flight attendant, who was standing at the
front of the plane. Then he asked for more wine,
and when he was told that no more wine for you,
he pulled out his member a second time, and when
the plane landed, he was escorted off the plane by
(30:47):
lax police officers and he shouted the flight attendants, this
is all your fault because you didn't go to the
bathroom with me.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
What what is wrong with this guy? It's more than prosecco.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, And then he told police it was the flight
attendant who'd gone after him, trying to get him into
the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
But Woodbury declined, and that guy used to have a
badge and a gun. He was a HB. That's really scared. Okay,
well we come back.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
John Manley, He's got a lot to say about this
situation in the Assembly where all the perverts, pedophiles and
predators have ganged up fifty five of them to make
sure that buying a sixteen or seventeen year old for
sex is not a felony.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
Debora Mark Live in the CAFI twenty four Hour Newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to the John Covelt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
You can hear our show every day from one until
four o'clock and then after four o'clock and you're gonna
want to hear this one. If you missed the first hour,
you're gonna want to hear it. John Cobelt's show on
demand on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Two rounds of the moistline coming up in the three
o'clock hour and around three twenty and three fifty. So
the big story of the day, and it's even headlining
headlined in national news sites. Is something that is confounding
almost everyone. I would say nearly one hundred percent of
(00:41):
the public would like people who buy teenage girls and
boys on the street to be convicted of a felony.
But not the fifty five Democratic Assembly members here in California.
And this has caused a huge ruckus because they actually
voted voted to protect the sixteen and seventeen year olds,
(01:06):
well not no, wait, not to protect the teenagers, protect
the people who buy the teenagers for sex. And this
all started with State Senator Shannon Grove, a Republican from Bakersfield.
Last year, she got a pretty comprehensive bill passed to
try to fight sex trafficking in California, and there was
(01:27):
a lot of Democratic opposition, and then Gavin Newsen stepped in.
But there was one exception that was insisted upon by
the Democrats, and that is making it not an automatic
felony to buy a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex.
Shannon Grove is coming on with us now because they
(01:49):
tried to close that loophole in the Assembly, a Democratic
assembly woman, former prosecutor Maggie Croll. It was her bill,
and she's gotten a lot of crap from her own
party for that.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Shannony there, I am John.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Thank you. Nobody believes this story, you know, it's just crazy. No,
this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
This is one of the most insane stories that I've
ever seen. And that is saying a lot because we've
been covering California for thirty years and this is up
there on the all time list. So let's take people back,
you know, kind of condensed as best you can. You
passed a bill last year taking a crack at ending
the human trafficking racket in the state, talk about the
(02:32):
bill that you got passed, and why this exception occurred
for the sixteen and seventeen year olds.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So go back one more year. We had SB fourteen.
It was not a serious felony to sell children for
sex or traffic minors for sex in the state of California.
So we made it a serious felony. The serious felony
is a strike offense, so repeat defenders get a lot
more time in prison, keep them away from these kids
that they've been trafficking. That build guidance, assembly, public safety.
(03:02):
And that's the one the governor came out to rescue.
The same people who killed it on Tuesday resurrected it
on Thursday, and the governor eventually signed it. Then our
coalition of human trafficking survivors said, look, you got to
go after the demand. The buyer. They pay their five
hundred bucks or their six hundred bucks, or they're one
thousand dollars or they're one hundred dollars. And because they're
(03:23):
on the girls are on a quota. They described the
quota like the guy the pimp would say, you got
to come up with one thousand dollars. So if you
if you're at nine hundred and you have to get
twenty dollars upop for the next one hundred bucks. I
mean they're required or they don't eat or sleep or
they get beaten. It's nuts.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Wait, so they have to have enough customers and a
night to hit the quota, and otherwise they don't eat
or sleep or they're brutally beaten.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, oh for that, God, yes, horrible. It's horrible. And
California's the number one human trafficking state in the nation.
So then we get they go after the because the buyers,
once they bought you, it was a brutal They just
owned you for that hour or that two hours or
whatever it was. So we went after the buyers specifically
for minor children, and we wanted to give it, give
(04:12):
them a ten thousand dollars fine, put them for a
year in jail. Excuse me, you're in prison, and make
them register the sex offender. So they I went to
public Safety. They're like, we're forcing these amendments on you.
We're only going to cover fifteen years in below, not
sixteen and seventeen, and it's only going to be a wobbler,
so it could still be charged as a misdemeanor and
(04:34):
I said, I refuse to take those amendments, and they said,
then the whole bill dies. So then what do you do.
You have to move forward and protect fifteen year olds
and below. So we did that, and I promised I'd
never stopped fighting for sixteen and seventeen year olds. Enter
Maggie Correll, former prosecutor hundreds of human trafficking cases, took
down back page like, this is her field.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
The back page was that website where a lot of
prostitution was financed.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yes, and so she took down back page. This is
she is an expert in this field and a Democrat. Hey,
and a Democrat. So I presented it to her. So
she did a loitering for the purposes of Protestant for purchasing,
loitering for purchasing. So if you're some prea extending out
there watching these girls walk up and down, law enforcement
can give you a ticket for a thousand dollars because
you're loitering for the purpose of purchase. You know, they
(05:24):
can watch them and see if they engage. The whole bit.
And then she added sixteen and seventeen year olds that
were lost in last year's bill, and so she faced
the same paid I did. She got to committee and
they're like, we're not hearing your bill unless you take
sixteen and seventeen year olds out. And so she struggled
with that that she knew she gets the loitering peace
(05:44):
against the purchaser, and so she moved forward. Then they wharfed,
which is without reference to file a bill to the floor,
the previous bill with her original language including sixteen and
seventeen year olds to the floor. The leadership on the
Assembly made a subsequent motion and I'm just going to
go through this. That's a subsequent motion to take out
sixteen and seventeen year old, remove Maggie Correll as the author,
(06:06):
and instead of having solid build it say you will
go to jail or you will go to prison. You
still get only two days in jail. It's a misdemeanor,
and we have the intent of doing something in the
fall to protect sixteen and seventeen year olds.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
So right now, if you buy a sixteen year girl
for sex and they catch you, it's two days in jail.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, just long enough to explain to your wife where
you've been. Sorry, I said that, no, Risten, So I
guess California some California Democrats, including leadership, they are actively
stopping good bills to go through to protect children from
(06:48):
being bought solicited for sex.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
You're stopping Why are they sacrificing children to sex perverts
who are forcing these girls to have sex with many
partners in night or they get beaten or starved.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Why would they do this? What's their motivation?
Speaker 3 (07:09):
I have not yet been able to figure that out.
I can just tell you that every attempt for the
last three years that we have put forward to protect
children in the state of California from being bought, sold
or sold has been dealt with nothing but hostile amendments.
And the last one we had to take by, you know,
(07:30):
basically a gun to our head, because then you lose
the protections for fifteen year olds and you can't just
walk away from them.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Oh, I understand that, but they're so passionate about it.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
I mean, this is the hell they want to die on.
Isn't that weird and creepy?
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yes, I mean it is the hell they want to
die on. They delayed the floor session for almost an
hour and a half yesterday so the Speaker could meet
with all the members individually make his deal with them
so that they would vote no on Maggie's bill and
yes on the new bill that gave us. The legislature
intends to do something.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Later on to Preah right, The legislature intends to do
something later on. You know, this is a pretty easy
one here. You simply make it a felony period, end
a story. I mean, what, that's right, there's nothing to
discuss here. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
But it's it's been a knockdown drackout for It's been
a knockdown drag out for three years. I mean three
So I'm thinking, hey, it's because I'm a Republican. Let's
get a good Democrat to do it. And who else
but Maggie Carroll. She is a a ten year, fifteen
year prosecutor with a Department of Justice prosecuting him in
traffic the cases took down back page. Who else is
(08:40):
better at that than her? And the public safety care
You should see that. And I don't mean to promote
in a station. The asthletys of all a video of him,
and he's like, well, everybody says, everybody says that Maggie
is a prosecutor. I'm a prosecutor too, And he just
sounded like a whiny baby. I don't even know how
to explain it. I was like, okay, so you're not
(09:01):
getting the credit and didn't think of it. So you're
going to just let these girls continue to be bought.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Shannon, hang on the line. I' on and continue with you.
But I do a news break here.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We got Shannon Grove, the Republican state senator from Bakersfield,
and she started the bowl rolling last year with trying
to end all this sex trafficking of children. She got
as far as fifteen year olds, but the sixteen and
seventeen year olds can still be trafficked. Guys could still
buy them for sex and really not get punished.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
We're talking with state Senator Shannon Grove. She wrote the
original legislation last year to protect minor children from sex predators,
but she was forced into accepting sixteen and seventeen year olds.
So at this moment, if a predator is caught buying
a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex, may not
(10:02):
be a felony, could just be a misdemeanor to make
it an automatic felony. Maggie Crell's bill has to pass,
and she's been trying to get it past. Crell's a Democrat,
a prosecutor involved in a lot of sex trafficking cases
as a prosecutor, and she's running into a brick wall
of Democrats who who want who don't want to make
it a felony. We are talking, as Shannon just pointed out,
(10:26):
young girls and boys being sold on the streets and
they have to have so many sex partners and hit
a certain quota in terms of cash, and if they don't,
they're beaten and starved and not allowed to sleep. And
leading the charge to block Maggie Crell's bill is an
assembly member Nick Schultz. He is the new chairman of
(10:48):
the Public Safety Committee, and he took the bill away
from her, stripped her name off, and now he's controlling
it and says, well, we'll continue the discussion tonight. He
has a town hall meeting coincidentally here in Burbank at
the ACF Burbank Youth Center from seven to nine o'clock.
You ought to go, especially if you've got a teenage
daughter or son. Seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank,
(11:10):
seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank ACF Burbank
Youth Center from seven to nine. Go discuss the matter
with Nick Schultz. I'm sure he'd be happy to hear
from you. Now, let's let's get back to Shannon.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Okay, wait, John, back at for just a second. You
said Nick Schultz is going to be at an ACF
youth center giving a town hall when he won't protect
sixteen and seventeen year olds from being bought for sex.
Are they not youth?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You know what I said to Debra a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I feel like someone's pulling a prank on all of us,
that it can't really be this crazy, But yes he is.
That's his town hall site a youth center.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
His chanshall hall site tonight is a youth center. And
this is the individual who stopped sixteen and seventeen year
olds from being protected from creepy perpetrators that would engage
in buying them for sex. Yes, you just can't make
this stuff up. No I don't. You can't.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
He was the mayor Burbank for the last two years.
I'd never heard of him, but he just got elected
to the Assembly and suddenly he's running the Public Safety Committee.
He's thirty six years old. I looked up his Wikipedia page.
He has two kids. I don't I'm completely flummoxed by this,
which is why I keep searching for Okay, what's the
real story that nobody wants to talk about.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Yeah, well, if you find that out, you got to
let me know, because, like I said, for three years,
we have been trying to get kids protected. I mean,
we started out with everyone that's on the street right
without their you know, with not being their own will,
and we had to go back to just miners. But
just and you thought that, oh man, I'm going to
get headway on this, this is easy. You got to
(12:49):
protect miners. And it was a knockdown, drag out, knockdown
drag out.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
He his Wikipedia page says, and I don't know who
wrote this. That is chair of the Public Safety Committee.
Schultz has objected to increased punishments for sex trafficking children,
saying that doing so would not be equitable.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
What could that possibly mean?
Speaker 3 (13:10):
So this is what they say. They say it disproportionately
affects people of color in the LGBTQ plus community, and
we agree with that, but on a reverse system, they
are predominantly higher percentage of the victims. It's usually rich
white men with disposable income that will pay for a
kid that's younger, right, right, So the community they say
(13:33):
they want to help is disproportionally a higher volume of
victim than the perpetrator. And they just every piece of
data that has been put forth, they just they don't
even look at it.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
They've got it backwards, and then they got it backwards.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
They're protecting wealthier white guys when the victims are the children.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
You know, I had Sheriff Cooper and Sacramento and law
enforcement partners provided us some of the engagements that took
place between grown men in these kids. And it's the
most disgusting stuff you've ever read. It's like reading a
porn novel if you've ever read. I've never read one,
but I haven't probably liked no I mean, if you
had to imagine what it was like, I would think
(14:16):
that would what would be like. And it is the
most disgusting stuff that these grown men say they want
these children to do. And when they only passed my
bills that allowed fifteen and below, I asked for seventeen
and below they amended it, forced amendimus on me.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
They put a.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Target on sixteen and seventeen year old because now, if
you approach a fifteen year old, you might be a
little cautious because you could get a year in jail
and a fine, and it could and it would be
a felony. But sixteen to seventeen year olds, you know,
two days in jail. If even that you got to
get caught to get two days in jail. People are
we want to reduce the demand.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
But Shannon, it's fifty five members of the Assembly and
a lot of women are involved here, mothers and fathers.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
What's has gone on?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
There's I don't have an explanation. I wish I did,
and everybody looks at me, but I'm like, the media
just needs to ask him. Maybe ask him why you
said I didn't even know Nick Schultz had two kids.
Ask him. I don't know, I don't and I don't
want to sound silly on radio, but I have no explanation,
and I'd asked, and they just look at you because
(15:22):
it's not it's not an equitable bill. What doesn't that
even mean?
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I know, it's it's one of these nonsense words that's
supposed to me.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
I'm like, equitable, equitable. How come we can't make sixteen
and seventeen year olds equitable with fifteen and below? Isn't
that what that means?
Speaker 2 (15:37):
It's some kind of shut up word. I'm totally baffled. Well,
I really really glad you came on, and I have
a feeling we'll be talking again soon because some now right,
let me just one quickie know some ways in and
tells them to pass the bill, and they ignore him.
And they've got got Elena Kulanakis, the lieutenant governor telling
(15:57):
him to pass the bill, and the mayor of San
Jose and Nancy Pelosi's daughter. Everybody's saying, past the bill,
let's get over.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
This, and this first term freshman lawmaker that's like a
fourth territory. The suitcase guy prosecutor says no, and like
he's not listening to them, and he went to leadership,
and now the leadership isn't listening to the gu I mean,
he's the head of the Democrat Party and he's like
all he even something I don't remember exactly that was
like all children should be protected, full stop, like no
(16:29):
otter explanation, you.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Know, what if he can't convince his own assembly to
protect sixteen year olds from sexual predators. I don't know
how he's going to run the country.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Thanks for coming on, Shannon.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Appreciate you. John, have a great day.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
All right, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Coming up after three o'clock, John Manly, who has represented
hundreds and hundreds of victims of child sex abuse. He's
going to come on to talk about this atrocity in
Sacramento where fifty five Democratic Assembly people have banded together
to block a bill that would make it a felony
(17:14):
to buy a sixteen or a seventeen year old kid
and use them for sex. We just had Shannon Grovon,
who got this whole movement started last year as a
state senator, and you know she had She's talked about
something that's hard to hear, hard to visualize and imagine,
but it's at the core of this. The core of
(17:37):
this is that the sixteen and seventeen year old girls
and boys are being basically kidnapped and forced into sex
slavery and degraded in the worst way they have to
and it's wealthier guys, and Shannon said, white guys who've
(17:58):
got the money, and they for them to perform sexual
acts that would make your hair fall out, and it's
just stomach turning. And these girls and boys are forced
to do these things repeatedly, night after night, and if
they don't hit their quota and bring in enough money
and get enough customers, then they are beaten, starved and
(18:21):
they're not allowed to sleep. It's it's it's it's not
just sex trafficking. It's it's it's torture. And I'm astonished
that the Democratic Assembly will not make it a felony.
As she said, the way the law is written now
(18:42):
you if you get caught, it might be two days
in jail.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
And the leader of the.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Resistance against making this a felony is Nick Schultz, who's
was the mayor of Burbank up until this year. Nick
Scholtz is now the chairman of the Public Safety Committee.
I'm not making any of this up. He's terman of
the Public Safety Committee, and he has blocked the bill.
(19:10):
He's taken it away from Maggie Crewll, the Democrat who
wrote it, says it's my bill. Now they're going to
rewrite it. And he says, well, we'll have a conversation
maybe late summer. They're trying to make it bury it,
make it go away, and he's he's got a town
hall tonight, and you really want to go. If you
have a child, especially a sixteen or seventeen year old
(19:31):
girl or boy, you I think you need to talk
to Nick Schultz seven to nine o'clock tonight, ACF Burbank
Youth Center, Youth Center, seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue,
seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank, the ACF
Burbank Youth Center. Nick Schultz will explain why sixteen year
(19:57):
old girls should be sold for and if a guy's
caught buying no felony or it's optional, all right, then
John mannuill come on and talk about it. At three o'clock,
the Attorney Mayor Karen Bass is now promising to take
(20:21):
a pay cut. How much do you think we pay
Karen Bass to burn down Pacific balaces? Do you have
any idea what kind of salary she gets? No, it's
less than that.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Oh yeah, two's seventy five, three oh four.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
I think that's the basic salary. I don't think that
includes all the perks and benefits, like it doesn't include
the flight to Ghana or the hotel stay in Ghana.
She got interviewed and admitted that she would take a
pay cut because the city is over a billion dollars short.
(21:01):
Let's play cut number one.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
The first La Mayor, Karen Bass says she will take
a pay cut because of the city's billion dollar budget shortfall.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Take a listen. Are you going to be taking to
help the budget? Absolutely well, we don't know.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
That video was taken by Scott Myers, a local attorney
and conservative activist. The mayor didn't elaborate on how much
of a cut she'd be taking or when. One government
website that tracks all elected official salaries in the state
lists Mayor Bassists annual salary at three hundred four thousand dollars.
The City of La is currently considering scaling back across
(21:39):
the board to close the one billion dollar budget deficit,
which includes laying off more than sixteen hundred city workers
and eliminating some vacant positions. The mayor's thirteen point nine
billion dollar spending plan requires city council approval, and a
vote is scheduled for.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
June, three hundred and four thousand dollars is a.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Lot of money. What's the pay cut going to be?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
She's not saying. You know, she doesn't have a brain
in her head. If she's smart, she would have stated
and made it a big number. She's made enough money.
She was in Congress for over a decade. I think
so she's got the money stashed away somewhere. Did you
see this awful story about the residence in Altadena? Now,
(22:26):
the Palisades has gotten way more attention than Altadena, and
we've given it way more attention. And the people in
Altadena that that is a county run area. They don't
have their own municipal government, so they rely on county supervisor,
county sheriffs. And it looks like the county has completely
(22:47):
failed the residents of Altadena because in the first three
and a half months of the year since the fire,
the number of burglaries is up four hundred and fifty percent.
So the looters are having a party in Altadena. There
were one hundred and forty residential burglaries already this year.
(23:11):
Some homes hit multiple times. I guess these are the
homes that evacuated but didn't burn.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
So now that's stuff.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
That's why my wife and I spent eight nights in
a cold, dark house with baseball bats because we didn't
want to get looted. Now in the Palisades, they have
the National Guard running checkpoints. It's very difficult to get
in the Palisades, but there's there was a very limited
(23:40):
number of ways to get in there. It's either Sunset
Boulevard or pch.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
There's a lot of ways to get into the Altadena. Yes,
there are a lot of ways, just dozens of ways.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
So they never the National Guard did not create any
checkpoints or very few, and the Guard has been reassigned
to certain intersections. But then they ended operations last week
because there's no longer much traffic, right they were trying
(24:14):
to direct the traffic congestion. Do you know how many
in the Palisades to how many burglaryes. So there's one
hundred and forty in Altadena, only twenty three in the Palisades,
and that is not much different than a year ago
when there was no fire. They had twenty from January
through March and twenty twenty fourth twenty and now it's
up to twenty three because they have the neighborhoods so secured.
(24:40):
The Sheriff's department requested the National Guard come back to Altadena,
but that request was denied by the California Office of
Emergency Management. They said take CHP officers, saying the National
Guard are not peace officers. They cannot perform policing duties.
They can just do traffic control and disaster response. So
(25:04):
the people in Altadena have been completely abandoned by the
government and they're still trying to figure out why the
people in the burned out neighborhoods never got a warning
for up to nine hours.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Nothing gets explained.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
They burn you out. What's not burned is looted. Nobody
protects you, nobody explains, nobody's helping you.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Nothing.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Right after two o'clock, we're gonna talk to John Manly.
He is with Manly, Stewart and Finalde they're the number
one firm representing victims of sexual abuse. You know him
from all the major cases that he's handled here in
Los Angeles, including the La Archdiocese. He wants to speak
out on what the uh, perverts, pedophiles, and predators who
(26:04):
govern us on the Assembly Public Safety Committee and in
the Assembly in general. He wants to talk about how
they're blocking a bill that would make it a felony
to buy a sixteen or seventeen year old on the
street for sex. And you've heard that. Nick Schultz is
(26:25):
the chairman of the Public Safety Committee and he's blocking
the bill. In fact, he grabbed the bill away from
the woman who submitted it, Maggie Krell. Maggie is a
Democrat prosecutor and she has spent her career going after
sex traffickers. Well, the bill snatched away because she wants
to actually put him in state prison. And Schultz, it's
(26:47):
claiming it's some equity problem. Well, Manly is going to
take care of that equity argument because he's got some
statistics on who the sex victims are here. They're not
the wealthier white guys who are buying the boys and
girls equity.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
What a load of crap. So oh oh, Nick Schultz,
where's he appearing tonight? Town Hall?
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Tonight, Nick Schultz here in Burbank ACF Burbank Youth Center.
That's fitting seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank.
Excuse me, seven to nine o'clock. Not making this up.
He's actually he's actually appearing tonight to take your comments.
Those of you with children, especially sixteen and seventeen year olds.
(27:38):
Schultz doesn't care if they're sold into sex slavery, so
he may want to confront him about that. Okay, Now,
you know, sometimes guys get too much to drink on
a plane, right, And this guy's named Dennis Woodbury. He's
forty nine years old, former CHP captain. He goes on
(27:59):
a plane from LA to Florida. Last month, he drank
a whole bottle of prosecco during the flight.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
They'll serve that much.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
And then he grabbed a flight attendant's butt and yelled
I loved you, I love you, and then showed a
second flight attendant attendant a pornographic picture. So he's being
charged with a felony count of abuse of sexual contact
and he could go to prison for two years. The
twist is that the flight attendant who had their butt
(28:35):
grabbed and the flight attendant who is told that Woodbury
loved them, they're both men. He went after two male
flight attendants. He was in the business class section of
Jet Blue going from Fort Lauderdale to lax And before
(28:59):
the flight left the gate, he called the male flight
attendant over and say, hey, you want to see this,
And it was a picture of a dog and a
blurred image of two men having sex in the background.
Imagine you're sitting next to this guy. No, the flight
(29:20):
attendant says, oh my god, and Woodbury excuse me. Captain
Woodbury laughed and said I was wondering how long it
would take you. And then Woodbury suggested the two men
go on a cruise together. When the flight attendant demonstrated
how the plane's oxygen masks worked, he saw Woodbury looking
(29:41):
at him and made a hand pumping motion. I don't
know what that meant. Oh you don't, no, baby. He's
a farmer and he was showing off how he milks cows.
Then the other flight attendant was collecting meal trays. Woodbury
(30:02):
used his left hand to slap the guy's butt and
yell that he loved him.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
But he's not done. What was in this prosecco? That's prosecco?
Is well, that's just wine, right, it's Italian wine. Yes, okay,
I'm not gonna go buy some. This is what it does.
I was just showing, guess.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Woodberry then pulled down his pants to expose his penis
to the first flight attendant, who was standing at the
front of the plane. Then he asked for more wine,
and when he was told that no more wine for you,
he pulled out his member a second time, and when
the plane landed, he was escorted off the plane by
(30:47):
lax police officers and he shouted the flight attendants, this
is all your fault because you didn't go to the
bathroom with me.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
What what is wrong with this guy? It's more than prosecco.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Yeah, And then he told police it was the flight
attendant who'd gone after him, trying to get him into
the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
But Woodbury declined, and that guy used to have a
badge and a gun. He was a HB. That's really scared. Okay,
well we come back.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
John Manley, He's got a lot to say about this
situation in the Assembly where all the perverts, pedophiles and
predators have ganged up fifty five of them to make
sure that buying a sixteen or seventeen year old for
sex is not a felony.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
