The John Kobylt Show Hour 3 (04/30) - CA Assemblyman Carl DeMaio joins John to expose Sacramento politicians shockingly opposing felony charges for buying sex from minors—why are Democrats protecting sex criminals targeting teens? Carl and John examines State Senator Scott Weiner's bizarre claim that punishing predators buying underage sex is "anti-LGBTQ," raising serious questions about the senator's motivations. Then, an LA soccer coach accused of killing a 13-year-old boy might have been stopped sooner if not for a massive backlog of unprosecuted cases under former DA Gascon. DA Hochman is racing to clean up Gascon’s mess, but what other dangers lurk among 10,000 ignored cases? Plus, John revisits the puzzling controlled burn in the Palisades and shares a strange update from LAPD trying to reunite owners with burned or partially burned guns.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day
from one until four, and then after four o'clock it's
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It gets posted.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yeah, shortly after four o'clock, you could listened to whatever
you miss. Let's go through this with Carl Demyo. We
have been talking about this periodically since yesterday. It is
really shocking. There are a contingent of Democrats in the
State Assembly who are trying to block a bill that
(00:37):
would make it an automatic felony to try to buy
a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex. We're talking
about buying them for sex in public, because the bill
would criminalize loitering with intent to buy sex. It's a
loophole that the Democrat that's created last year and now
(01:03):
a Democratic assembly woman named Maggie Kroll is trying to
close it. And for some reason, there there's a group
of Democratic assembly people men who don't want it to
be a felony to buy teenagers for sex. Makes you wonder,
let's get Carl Demio on. Carl, Seriously, what's with these guys.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
John Day are absolutely insane and deviant. I'm just going
to go there. I'm going to tell you what's really
driving this. Let me go through the history here, because
Governor Gavin Dusom is trying to pretend like he's the
good guy here, but he's actually an arsonist firefighter. He
helped create the problem. In twenty twenty, Senator Scott Wiener,
(01:49):
a gay Democrat from the Bay Area, authored SB one,
which allows for an individual to molest a child as
young as age fourteen and not have a sex offender
registry requirement. What Wiener says is well, because in the
gay community, romance begins early experimentation begins early adults sometimes
(02:19):
you know, engage in activities with young children, and that's
all natural. That's what SP one forty five was. It
said that as long as there's not more than ten
years difference, a twenty four year old should be able
to molest a fourteen year old without sex offender registry.
Really then yes, yes, Oh it gets worse then. SB
(02:40):
three point fifty seven in twenty twenty two pass to
eliminate basically legalized to legalize loitering with the intent to
engage in sex trafficking. Loitering is obviously a crime that
many states use to identify someone who may be in
the sex worker business, and the goal is not to
(03:03):
go after the sex worker. The goal is to detain them,
to protect them, to get them out of the sex
trafficking problem that they're in, and then to target the
trafficker themselves. But not in California. We basically declared it
open space for traffickers by passing SB three fifty seven. Now,
(03:26):
both of these laws were signed into law by Governor
Daven Newsom. So what Maggie Krell is trying to do
with Assembly Build three seventy nine. And she's a Democrat,
and I'm going to give her credit where credits due.
She's trying to do the right thing. She says, let's
repeal SB three fifty seven. Let's make loitering a crime
again so that we actually can go after human traffickers.
And let's make it a felony crime to buy a
(03:50):
sixteen or seventeen year old child, a miner who's sixteen
or seventeen. That should be a felony, not just a misdemeanor.
These were given and tools back to law enforcement to
go after human traffickers, sex traffickers, and to take care
of these victims. But the Democrats, led by Senator Scott Wiener,
made the case yesterday that this is all anti gay,
(04:13):
and again, this is why this is deviant. I'm a
gay Republican. I'm not being homophobic here, Okay. I will
tell you that the gay community does not support this nonsense.
But what's happening is they're using the gay community and
the concept of gay rights to somehow support these really
bad bills of making it a misdemeanor, not a felony,
(04:34):
to purchase a sixteen or seventeen year old child for sex,
and to allow for human trafficking sexual assault for kids
as young as fourteen, all in the name of well,
gays need to experiment when they're young, and so what
if an adult someone of age is engaging in either
(04:56):
buying a kid, buying your age buying, or engaging in
the behavior.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Wow, that didn't make any of the news stories about
Wiener's motivations here.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He's really public on last.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Now, this is a gay rights thing to let gay
men buy sixteen year old boys on the street.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yes, And that's the problem here is that the liberal
media refuses to cover the story. They say, well, some
consider this an anti LGBT bill. Well, okay, can you
explain what is pro LGBT about buying sixteen and seventeen
year old boys and girls? Can someone please ask the
liberal media, can you clarify in your news story what
(05:39):
is pro LGBT about buying sixteen and seventeen year old miners?
Do you know on the way you can make that?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Can do you know a lot of gay men in
your circles who want to buy sixteen year olds off
the street?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
No, I will tell you that the gay community is
offended that they're being associated with these deviant policies. Senator I,
Senator Scott Wiener, I call him the patron Saint of
sex predators because almost every single bill on this topic,
he's on the side of the sex offender, he's on
the side of the sex trafficker. And so this is
(06:12):
a very clear effort to normalize something that should never
be considered normal, but should not be allowed. It is deviant,
it is predatory, and it needs to be prosecuted. Like
every other state in the Union, but only here in
California do we have laws signed by Governor Gavin Newsom,
and that is so important for people to know he's
behind these laws. Now that he's saying they need to
(06:34):
be repealed, he actually put them in place. This state
is on the wrong side of this issue, and we
need to pass Maggie Crell's bill AB three seventy nine. Tomorrow.
I'm going to be supporting a motion to bring her
bill up to the floor and to pass it as
originally introduced, and I know the Democrats are going to
(06:57):
pose it. But I want a recorded vote. I want names.
I want the names on a list. I want to
know who the voters should be able to toss out
of office for this bad vote. And that's what we're
going to get tomorrow. And we're not going to stop
until we get the recorded vote tomorrow that the public
deserves to see.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That is sicker than I thought.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I mean, I thought even then the media is reporting
is much much, much, much more worse than anyone I knows.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
All Right, So Wiener has maybe a vested interest in this,
But what about all the other Democrats. What about the women.
I mean, all these people have a lot of them
have daughters. They're middle aged people with children and daughters.
I mean they wouldn't want their their own daughters and
sons sold on the street for sex.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
If these are the same people who say adding lanes
on freeways is somehow racist, Okay, there's no logic to this.
There's These people are not tethered to reality. They just
get told by their masters, these left wing advocacy groups,
if you don't vote on our extreme ideology in favor
of it, we're going to issue a bad scorecard on
(08:07):
you in the next election. And so we need to
expose these groups for the frauds and the extremists that
they are. Because the people behind these bills, the ones
that are trying to shield sex predators, well, those organizations
ought to have the Scarlett letter associated with them. Nobody
should ever listen to a Quality California. Again, a Quality
(08:29):
California says it's a pro LGBT group. They're supporting this nonsense.
They are deviant and no one should ever take their scorecard,
their voting guide into account.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Wow, Carl, stay in touch with us this week. See
what happens.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
We will.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
We're going to force the vote tomorrow. We'll let you
know how it goes.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
All right, Carl Demiel, the assemblyman Republican. And this is
on whether it should be a felony to buy us
sixteen or seventeen year old for sex on the streets
of California.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, he just had a very enlightening interview with Carl Demio,
the Republican assemblyman. And I didn't realize this was this
is the man. Carl's gay, if you don't know, and
Scott Wiener is gay. Wiener is a Democrat, and Demyo
is a Republican, and he flat out said that that
(09:28):
Wiener pushes these what he calls perverted bells because he
Wiener believes that it's a right of passage for young
fourteen year old boys to have an adult gay lover,
and so none of that behavior or activity should be
(09:49):
made illegal. And this is why he fights so hard,
because if you're not in that culture, you may be
wondering who the hell would try to stop buying sixteen
year olds for sex from being a felony, which is
what's happening. There's a provision in this bill that would
(10:10):
make it a felony to buy sixteen seventeen year olds
for sex up until this point. I guess it's a
misdemeanor worse and probably not enforced. There's a lot of
sex traffic that goes on, especially illegal alien sex traffic
in California, and Wiener is representing some strange wing of
the gay community. I don't know anything about this, but
(10:33):
this is what de Mayo is saying, is that he
says most of the gay community hates this stuff and
doesn't want to be associated with it. But Wiener represents
a fringe element that wants to basically legalize sexual relations
between men and teenage boys as young as fourteen. And
so they fight this bill and convince other Democrats to
(10:56):
join them for the sake of protecting lgbt Q rights,
except it really has to I've got to wonder now
just what's going on. I mean, there's probably a few
Democratic assemblymen who'd like to go after the girls too.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
There must be.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
There's there's no other explanation for this. There's no excuse
for this. This should be automatic felonies, and it should
have been this way since the founding of California. You
would think, and I told you that Wiener is a weirdo,
and he has been he's Karl went through the list
of these weird sex laws that Wiener has always wanted
(11:40):
to liberalize and open up. You're part of the expression.
Uh and and and he has and uh but this
has really gone too far. And this this effects gained
straight relationships boys and girls. I mean, virtually nobody's for this.
Look how hard they fight now Newsome and and Carl
(12:00):
says that Newsom, you know, allows these things to be
set up and defester and then when the wind blows badly,
he comes in at the last second like a white
knight at a horse, to say, well, you know, as
the father of daughters, as the father of young children,
you know you could have crushed this at the beginning.
(12:22):
These bills been around for years. This bill was around
last year and the Democrats killed this particular provision, and
now it's back and it's a Democratic prosecutor a woman.
I mean, I can't believe women would vote for allowing
(12:43):
young girls to be sold for sex on the street. Wow,
only in this state, Only in California. No other state's
doing this, all right? More coming up.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
We're on from one until four and then after four o'clock.
To make sure you download the podcast John Cobelt Show
on demand and you can catch up on what you missed.
You may have heard this story recently about a guy
named that's another guy with too many names, Mario at
Gardo Garcia hyphen Akino. Mario at Gardo Garcia Aquino. He
(13:31):
was charged with killing a thirteen year old boy is
soccer coach during a lute act. And it turns out
a year ago La County prosecutors were presented with evidence
from another teenager who accused Garcia Akino of sex abuse.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Ten months ago.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Ten months ago, the DA's office then under George Gascone
got this evidence.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And Gascone sat on it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Because Gascone had a backlog of ten thousand cases that
he did not prosecute.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Ten thousand cases.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
This is what Hawkman and his staff has been dealing
with since the first of December. Can you imagine, So
as Hawkman is in the staff are going through the cases,
there's this case of sex abuse by the soccer coach,
(14:50):
and so Hawkman took it over and they in the meantime,
Garcia killed this thirteen year old boy. His name is
Oscar Hernandez. He was killed. His body was dumped in
a roadside dish, a roadside ditch, and so people are
(15:13):
wondering why was there a delay, Maybe if they'd take
an action earlier. And so Hawkman is getting some attention
and he said, look, we can't do this overnight. We've
had to go through ten thousand cases. Hawkman said his
office has revamped the filing process. There's a new electronic
(15:35):
filing system that Gascon installed that created massive delays, and
then you've got to have the prosecutors work late and
work on weekends.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
We used to talk about all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
There were always estimates that Gascone had refused to prosecute
cases in excess of ten thousand. The numbers would change
sometimes I heard thirteen, fourteen thousand. Never knew exactly who
could know Garcia kno. He's from El Salvador. He is
(16:11):
first accused of abusing a player in Silmour in December
of twenty twenty two. Police investigated, but the player refused
to cooperate, and then when Oscar Hernandez disappeared, that player
finally called the police.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And I guess he's an illegal.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Alien because according to the times, Trumpet officials are highlighting
the immigration status and they say he should have been deported.
But this coach had no criminal record, well no criminal
(16:56):
record because his victims didn't want to testify, and so
since he didn't have a criminal record, he wouldn't have
been a high priority for deportation. Not that the Biden
administration was departing anybody. Wow, wow, an illegal alien, child,
rapist and killer. And Gascon sat on this, and what's
(17:18):
in the other ten thousand cases? What else is in there?
In July twenty twenty three, public records showed that the
ten thousand cases were awaiting a filing decision. These were
cases from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two, including
(17:41):
people accused of murdered, domestic violence, and weapons offenses. Now
they've reduced the number of cases in the queue to
about eight thousand as of mid April. I mean they
only have seven hundred and fifty deputy das. This is
(18:04):
the smallest the office has been in decades. I mean
a lot of people left during the Gascon reign, so
they had more cases than ever with fewer prosecutors than ever,
and Gascon was not actively interested in prosecuting anybody, and
(18:24):
they might not be able to hire more prosecutors because
of the four billion dollars the county has to spend
on the sex abuse victims. There's a lot of perverts
who work in government. I mean, you had like fifty
years worth of perverts who were abusing all the boys
(18:45):
and girls in the detention system. That's why the county
has to pay out four billion, and we're going to
be paying that until twenty fifty one. Then you have
a Scott Wiener trying to make it not a felony
to buy sex, to buy sixteen and seventeen year olds
on the street for sex, like what's going on?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Then?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Of course the Mahoney case this week. Him going to
Rome helped close Pope Francis's coffin. He was the official
representative and he oversaw a large sex ring operation among
his priests.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What Gascone did is he tried to centralize filings in
a computer system. But that made the backlog, that pushed
the backlog out of sight and out of mind. There
used to be a stack of files on the prosecutor's desks,
(19:50):
so you could see your backlog in real time. Right,
your stack would get higher and higher and spread out
well once they switched electronically. While that I guess was
an efficiency improvement, you would think it meant that these
cases just became buried inside computer files, and I guess
that would take away the urgency and gascone was not
(20:11):
interested in prosecuting most cases anyway. Too bad for that kid, though,
Oscar Hernandez. That's that's terrible. I mean, they were getting
close to the filing charges for last year's sexual attack,
but they were just they were just too late.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Gascon did an enormous amount of damage. And of course,
like everything, you don't find out that it's all over,
and it's like you know, Biden with senile and everybody
knew that. Nobody mentioned anything. You could see it, but
nobody inside mentioned anything. Nobody inside mentioned the Gascon was
refusing to prosecute these major felonies.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Were coming up.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
You're listening to John on Demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
The controlled burn period is continuing in the Palisades, started
last night, supposed to go on until tomorrow. Residents the
ones left are nervous. And also it turns out this
was a well armed community, generally a very safe area.
(21:26):
One of the safest and nicest in LA, but it
looks like nobody was taking any chances. We're going to
play a short clip. Apparently Eric Leonard did a lengthy
report on how the LAPD is trying to find the
serial numbers on guns destroyed in the Palisades fire so
these guns could be returned to their legal owners.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Just listen to a little bit here.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Inside the firearms unit at the LAPD's Forensic Science Division
east of Downtown, examiners and detectives are working to find
serial numbers or other identifying clues so that the hundreds
of rifles, shotguns, and handguns found amidst the destruction can
be returned to their legal owners or officially recorded as destroyed.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You don't want to unaccounted firearm.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
LAPD Detective Pat Hoffman supervises the department's gun unit and
says the fire guns have to be logged so there's
no question about what happened to them if there were
an inquiry months or years from now.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
When we recover these firearms and we're able to identify
them by a nick, model or characteristic or serial number,
they are entered into the AFS system correlated with this incident,
so it updates in that system that they have been
reported law destroyed within the Pali States fire.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Hoffman says the heat from the fire was so intense
in places it burned guns that were stored inside fire
resistance safes.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
As an eye opening experience when we first got our
hands on the first batch.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
So I guess those fire resistance shapes are not so
fire resistant. Well, I guess they will burn. But what
I've heard is people who had fire resistance safes and
they had paperwork inside. The heat inside the safe became
so intense that the paperwork burst into flames. It ignited itself.
(23:18):
So a lot of these guns are are melted or
partly melted, damaged in some other way. But a lot
of a lot of people they weren't taking any chances
because there's there's not a lot of police up in
that area.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Because there's not a lot of crime.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You know, you just don't have bad people living in
the Palisades, and the bad guys don't visit that often,
although there was a rash of burglaries in recent years.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
And also maybe maybe they just know that, you know,
these these people here don't don't skur around. Let's but
also play some of this other report because the Palisades
residents are nervous that the ATF is doing this.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
To day, controlled burn like Cut six.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Flames return to the mountains of Pacific Palisades as federal
investigators ignite a controlled fire test and their quest to
figure out exactly what sparked the devastating Palisades fire.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Anytime you see fire in an environment like this, it's
triggering for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I know they have to do it, but to be
honest with you, I'm not so happy about it because about.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
You know, all the traumatized that we have been through.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
The move has many residents whose homes survive the raging
inferno on edge, but the La City Fire Department says
the fire test does not involve burning any vegetation and
says the ATF is using a fur pain powered device
with a focused flame that can reach a maximum of
fifteen feet to try to identify what started the blaze
(24:52):
and exactly where.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Trying to work on a timeline of the events of
January seventh.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
This some testing that they need to do.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
They're going to try to do it between eleven PM
and three a m.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
The ATF is investigating if the Palisades fire was a
reignition of an eight acre brush fire just six days earlier.
The controlled fire tests will take place along a one
point three mile section of the Tamescal Ridge Trail. This
was the front thrower Glen Eisen, like so many other
fire victims, wants to know what caused the ferocious fire,
but more importantly wants to know what can be done
(25:28):
for the future.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
But you do expect that, you know that we learn
from the disaster, and from that disaster there's better preparedness
for the future. No one wants to move back into
their home with an expectation that this can happen happen again.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Yeah, and that certainly is why the ATF is trying
to figure out exactly what sparked this blaze again and
what can be done for the future. This testing expect
to continue through Thursday. Eli City Fire Department on hand
throughout the entire ordeal and through all of the testing
to make sure that there is no fire, that nothing
(26:07):
happens in kind of any flames possibly race out of control.
But again they say it could take a month or
two before they're able to get any information as part
of this controlled fire test.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I don't understand anything about the process. That report explained
nothing to me.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So they have some kind of device they shoots a
flame fifteen feet into the air, but they're not burning vegetation.
Then what are they burning? How does this tell them
what happened? How does this tell them if the old
fire got reignited or it was a bum fire? A vagrant,
I mean, vagrants live up in that region. They wander
(26:44):
around in the hills and live in the brush. God,
I remember you remember some years ago a fire started,
it became it became a wildfire, and Garcetti when did
this really stupid public relations photo op thing where he
and some other city employees went marching into the hills
(27:06):
into the brush to look for vagrants.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
He went vagrant hunting, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And the people ought to be devised because the government
doesn't have a really good record managing this crisis so far.
It's been four months, one thing after another. Hey, you've
been listening to the John Cobalt 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 you're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day
from one until four, and then after four o'clock it's
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
It gets posted.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yeah, shortly after four o'clock, you could listened to whatever
you miss. Let's go through this with Carl Demyo. We
have been talking about this periodically since yesterday. It is
really shocking. There are a contingent of Democrats in the
State Assembly who are trying to block a bill that
(00:37):
would make it an automatic felony to try to buy
a sixteen or seventeen year old for sex. We're talking
about buying them for sex in public, because the bill
would criminalize loitering with intent to buy sex. It's a
loophole that the Democrat that's created last year and now
(01:03):
a Democratic assembly woman named Maggie Kroll is trying to
close it. And for some reason, there there's a group
of Democratic assembly people men who don't want it to
be a felony to buy teenagers for sex. Makes you wonder,
let's get Carl Demio on. Carl, Seriously, what's with these guys.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
John Day are absolutely insane and deviant. I'm just going
to go there. I'm going to tell you what's really
driving this. Let me go through the history here, because
Governor Gavin Dusom is trying to pretend like he's the
good guy here, but he's actually an arsonist firefighter. He
helped create the problem. In twenty twenty, Senator Scott Wiener,
(01:49):
a gay Democrat from the Bay Area, authored SB one,
which allows for an individual to molest a child as
young as age fourteen and not have a sex offender
registry requirement. What Wiener says is well, because in the
gay community, romance begins early experimentation begins early adults sometimes
(02:19):
you know, engage in activities with young children, and that's
all natural. That's what SP one forty five was. It
said that as long as there's not more than ten
years difference, a twenty four year old should be able
to molest a fourteen year old without sex offender registry.
Really then yes, yes, Oh it gets worse then. SB
(02:40):
three point fifty seven in twenty twenty two pass to
eliminate basically legalized to legalize loitering with the intent to
engage in sex trafficking. Loitering is obviously a crime that
many states use to identify someone who may be in
the sex worker business, and the goal is not to
(03:03):
go after the sex worker. The goal is to detain them,
to protect them, to get them out of the sex
trafficking problem that they're in, and then to target the
trafficker themselves. But not in California. We basically declared it
open space for traffickers by passing SB three fifty seven. Now,
(03:26):
both of these laws were signed into law by Governor
Daven Newsom. So what Maggie Krell is trying to do
with Assembly Build three seventy nine. And she's a Democrat,
and I'm going to give her credit where credits due.
She's trying to do the right thing. She says, let's
repeal SB three fifty seven. Let's make loitering a crime
again so that we actually can go after human traffickers.
And let's make it a felony crime to buy a
(03:50):
sixteen or seventeen year old child, a miner who's sixteen
or seventeen. That should be a felony, not just a misdemeanor.
These were given and tools back to law enforcement to
go after human traffickers, sex traffickers, and to take care
of these victims. But the Democrats, led by Senator Scott Wiener,
made the case yesterday that this is all anti gay,
(04:13):
and again, this is why this is deviant. I'm a
gay Republican. I'm not being homophobic here, Okay. I will
tell you that the gay community does not support this nonsense.
But what's happening is they're using the gay community and
the concept of gay rights to somehow support these really
bad bills of making it a misdemeanor, not a felony,
(04:34):
to purchase a sixteen or seventeen year old child for sex,
and to allow for human trafficking sexual assault for kids
as young as fourteen, all in the name of well,
gays need to experiment when they're young, and so what
if an adult someone of age is engaging in either
(04:56):
buying a kid, buying your age buying, or engaging in
the behavior.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Wow, that didn't make any of the news stories about
Wiener's motivations here.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
He's really public on last.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Now, this is a gay rights thing to let gay
men buy sixteen year old boys on the street.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yes, And that's the problem here is that the liberal
media refuses to cover the story. They say, well, some
consider this an anti LGBT bill. Well, okay, can you
explain what is pro LGBT about buying sixteen and seventeen
year old boys and girls? Can someone please ask the
liberal media, can you clarify in your news story what
(05:39):
is pro LGBT about buying sixteen and seventeen year old miners?
Do you know on the way you can make that?
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Can do you know a lot of gay men in
your circles who want to buy sixteen year olds off
the street?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:51):
No, I will tell you that the gay community is
offended that they're being associated with these deviant policies. Senator I,
Senator Scott Wiener, I call him the patron Saint of
sex predators because almost every single bill on this topic,
he's on the side of the sex offender, he's on
the side of the sex trafficker. And so this is
(06:12):
a very clear effort to normalize something that should never
be considered normal, but should not be allowed. It is deviant,
it is predatory, and it needs to be prosecuted. Like
every other state in the Union, but only here in
California do we have laws signed by Governor Gavin Newsom,
and that is so important for people to know he's
behind these laws. Now that he's saying they need to
(06:34):
be repealed, he actually put them in place. This state
is on the wrong side of this issue, and we
need to pass Maggie Crell's bill AB three seventy nine. Tomorrow.
I'm going to be supporting a motion to bring her
bill up to the floor and to pass it as
originally introduced, and I know the Democrats are going to
(06:57):
pose it. But I want a recorded vote. I want names.
I want the names on a list. I want to
know who the voters should be able to toss out
of office for this bad vote. And that's what we're
going to get tomorrow. And we're not going to stop
until we get the recorded vote tomorrow that the public
deserves to see.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
That is sicker than I thought.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I mean, I thought even then the media is reporting
is much much, much, much more worse than anyone I knows.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
All Right, So Wiener has maybe a vested interest in this,
But what about all the other Democrats. What about the women.
I mean, all these people have a lot of them
have daughters. They're middle aged people with children and daughters.
I mean they wouldn't want their their own daughters and
sons sold on the street for sex.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
If these are the same people who say adding lanes
on freeways is somehow racist, Okay, there's no logic to this.
There's These people are not tethered to reality. They just
get told by their masters, these left wing advocacy groups,
if you don't vote on our extreme ideology in favor
of it, we're going to issue a bad scorecard on
(08:07):
you in the next election. And so we need to
expose these groups for the frauds and the extremists that
they are. Because the people behind these bills, the ones
that are trying to shield sex predators, well, those organizations
ought to have the Scarlett letter associated with them. Nobody
should ever listen to a Quality California. Again, a Quality
(08:29):
California says it's a pro LGBT group. They're supporting this nonsense.
They are deviant and no one should ever take their scorecard,
their voting guide into account.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Wow, Carl, stay in touch with us this week. See
what happens.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
We will.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
We're going to force the vote tomorrow. We'll let you
know how it goes.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
All right, Carl Demiel, the assemblyman Republican. And this is
on whether it should be a felony to buy us
sixteen or seventeen year old for sex on the streets
of California.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Well, he just had a very enlightening interview with Carl Demio,
the Republican assemblyman. And I didn't realize this was this
is the man. Carl's gay, if you don't know, and
Scott Wiener is gay. Wiener is a Democrat, and Demyo
is a Republican, and he flat out said that that
(09:28):
Wiener pushes these what he calls perverted bells because he
Wiener believes that it's a right of passage for young
fourteen year old boys to have an adult gay lover,
and so none of that behavior or activity should be
(09:49):
made illegal. And this is why he fights so hard,
because if you're not in that culture, you may be
wondering who the hell would try to stop buying sixteen
year olds for sex from being a felony, which is
what's happening. There's a provision in this bill that would
(10:10):
make it a felony to buy sixteen seventeen year olds
for sex up until this point. I guess it's a
misdemeanor worse and probably not enforced. There's a lot of
sex traffic that goes on, especially illegal alien sex traffic
in California, and Wiener is representing some strange wing of
the gay community. I don't know anything about this, but
(10:33):
this is what de Mayo is saying, is that he
says most of the gay community hates this stuff and
doesn't want to be associated with it. But Wiener represents
a fringe element that wants to basically legalize sexual relations
between men and teenage boys as young as fourteen. And
so they fight this bill and convince other Democrats to
(10:56):
join them for the sake of protecting lgbt Q rights,
except it really has to I've got to wonder now
just what's going on. I mean, there's probably a few
Democratic assemblymen who'd like to go after the girls too.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
There must be.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
There's there's no other explanation for this. There's no excuse
for this. This should be automatic felonies, and it should
have been this way since the founding of California. You
would think, and I told you that Wiener is a weirdo,
and he has been he's Karl went through the list
of these weird sex laws that Wiener has always wanted
(11:40):
to liberalize and open up. You're part of the expression.
Uh and and and he has and uh but this
has really gone too far. And this this effects gained
straight relationships boys and girls. I mean, virtually nobody's for this.
Look how hard they fight now Newsome and and Carl
(12:00):
says that Newsom, you know, allows these things to be
set up and defester and then when the wind blows badly,
he comes in at the last second like a white
knight at a horse, to say, well, you know, as
the father of daughters, as the father of young children,
you know you could have crushed this at the beginning.
(12:22):
These bills been around for years. This bill was around
last year and the Democrats killed this particular provision, and
now it's back and it's a Democratic prosecutor a woman.
I mean, I can't believe women would vote for allowing
(12:43):
young girls to be sold for sex on the street. Wow,
only in this state, Only in California. No other state's
doing this, all right? More coming up.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
Listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
We're on from one until four and then after four o'clock.
To make sure you download the podcast John Cobelt Show
on demand and you can catch up on what you missed.
You may have heard this story recently about a guy
named that's another guy with too many names, Mario at
Gardo Garcia hyphen Akino. Mario at Gardo Garcia Aquino. He
(13:31):
was charged with killing a thirteen year old boy is
soccer coach during a lute act. And it turns out
a year ago La County prosecutors were presented with evidence
from another teenager who accused Garcia Akino of sex abuse.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Ten months ago.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Ten months ago, the DA's office then under George Gascone
got this evidence.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
And Gascone sat on it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Because Gascone had a backlog of ten thousand cases that
he did not prosecute.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Ten thousand cases.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
This is what Hawkman and his staff has been dealing
with since the first of December. Can you imagine, So
as Hawkman is in the staff are going through the cases,
there's this case of sex abuse by the soccer coach,
(14:50):
and so Hawkman took it over and they in the meantime,
Garcia killed this thirteen year old boy. His name is
Oscar Hernandez. He was killed. His body was dumped in
a roadside dish, a roadside ditch, and so people are
(15:13):
wondering why was there a delay, Maybe if they'd take
an action earlier. And so Hawkman is getting some attention
and he said, look, we can't do this overnight. We've
had to go through ten thousand cases. Hawkman said his
office has revamped the filing process. There's a new electronic
(15:35):
filing system that Gascon installed that created massive delays, and
then you've got to have the prosecutors work late and
work on weekends.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
We used to talk about all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
There were always estimates that Gascone had refused to prosecute
cases in excess of ten thousand. The numbers would change
sometimes I heard thirteen, fourteen thousand. Never knew exactly who
could know Garcia kno. He's from El Salvador. He is
(16:11):
first accused of abusing a player in Silmour in December
of twenty twenty two. Police investigated, but the player refused
to cooperate, and then when Oscar Hernandez disappeared, that player
finally called the police.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And I guess he's an illegal.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Alien because according to the times, Trumpet officials are highlighting
the immigration status and they say he should have been deported.
But this coach had no criminal record, well no criminal
(16:56):
record because his victims didn't want to testify, and so
since he didn't have a criminal record, he wouldn't have
been a high priority for deportation. Not that the Biden
administration was departing anybody. Wow, wow, an illegal alien, child,
rapist and killer. And Gascon sat on this, and what's
(17:18):
in the other ten thousand cases? What else is in there?
In July twenty twenty three, public records showed that the
ten thousand cases were awaiting a filing decision. These were
cases from twenty twenty one to twenty twenty two, including
(17:41):
people accused of murdered, domestic violence, and weapons offenses. Now
they've reduced the number of cases in the queue to
about eight thousand as of mid April. I mean they
only have seven hundred and fifty deputy das. This is
(18:04):
the smallest the office has been in decades. I mean
a lot of people left during the Gascon reign, so
they had more cases than ever with fewer prosecutors than ever,
and Gascon was not actively interested in prosecuting anybody, and
(18:24):
they might not be able to hire more prosecutors because
of the four billion dollars the county has to spend
on the sex abuse victims. There's a lot of perverts
who work in government. I mean, you had like fifty
years worth of perverts who were abusing all the boys
(18:45):
and girls in the detention system. That's why the county
has to pay out four billion, and we're going to
be paying that until twenty fifty one. Then you have
a Scott Wiener trying to make it not a felony
to buy sex, to buy sixteen and seventeen year olds
on the street for sex, like what's going on?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Then?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Of course the Mahoney case this week. Him going to
Rome helped close Pope Francis's coffin. He was the official
representative and he oversaw a large sex ring operation among
his priests.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
What Gascone did is he tried to centralize filings in
a computer system. But that made the backlog, that pushed
the backlog out of sight and out of mind. There
used to be a stack of files on the prosecutor's desks,
(19:50):
so you could see your backlog in real time. Right,
your stack would get higher and higher and spread out
well once they switched electronically. While that I guess was
an efficiency improvement, you would think it meant that these
cases just became buried inside computer files, and I guess
that would take away the urgency and gascone was not
(20:11):
interested in prosecuting most cases anyway. Too bad for that kid, though,
Oscar Hernandez. That's that's terrible. I mean, they were getting
close to the filing charges for last year's sexual attack,
but they were just they were just too late.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Gascon did an enormous amount of damage. And of course,
like everything, you don't find out that it's all over,
and it's like you know, Biden with senile and everybody
knew that. Nobody mentioned anything. You could see it, but
nobody inside mentioned anything. Nobody inside mentioned the Gascon was
refusing to prosecute these major felonies.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Were coming up.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
You're listening to John on Demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
The controlled burn period is continuing in the Palisades, started
last night, supposed to go on until tomorrow. Residents the
ones left are nervous. And also it turns out this
was a well armed community, generally a very safe area.
(21:26):
One of the safest and nicest in LA, but it
looks like nobody was taking any chances. We're going to
play a short clip. Apparently Eric Leonard did a lengthy
report on how the LAPD is trying to find the
serial numbers on guns destroyed in the Palisades fire so
these guns could be returned to their legal owners.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
Just listen to a little bit here.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Inside the firearms unit at the LAPD's Forensic Science Division
east of Downtown, examiners and detectives are working to find
serial numbers or other identifying clues so that the hundreds
of rifles, shotguns, and handguns found amidst the destruction can
be returned to their legal owners or officially recorded as destroyed.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
You don't want to unaccounted firearm.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
LAPD Detective Pat Hoffman supervises the department's gun unit and
says the fire guns have to be logged so there's
no question about what happened to them if there were
an inquiry months or years from now.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
When we recover these firearms and we're able to identify
them by a nick, model or characteristic or serial number,
they are entered into the AFS system correlated with this incident,
so it updates in that system that they have been
reported law destroyed within the Pali States fire.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Hoffman says the heat from the fire was so intense
in places it burned guns that were stored inside fire
resistance safes.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
As an eye opening experience when we first got our
hands on the first batch.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
So I guess those fire resistance shapes are not so
fire resistant. Well, I guess they will burn. But what
I've heard is people who had fire resistance safes and
they had paperwork inside. The heat inside the safe became
so intense that the paperwork burst into flames. It ignited itself.
(23:18):
So a lot of these guns are are melted or
partly melted, damaged in some other way. But a lot
of a lot of people they weren't taking any chances
because there's there's not a lot of police up in
that area.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Because there's not a lot of crime.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
You know, you just don't have bad people living in
the Palisades, and the bad guys don't visit that often,
although there was a rash of burglaries in recent years.
Speaker 7 (23:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
And also maybe maybe they just know that, you know,
these these people here don't don't skur around. Let's but
also play some of this other report because the Palisades
residents are nervous that the ATF is doing this.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
To day, controlled burn like Cut six.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Flames return to the mountains of Pacific Palisades as federal
investigators ignite a controlled fire test and their quest to
figure out exactly what sparked the devastating Palisades fire.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Anytime you see fire in an environment like this, it's
triggering for sure.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I know they have to do it, but to be
honest with you, I'm not so happy about it because about.
Speaker 8 (24:28):
You know, all the traumatized that we have been through.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
The move has many residents whose homes survive the raging
inferno on edge, but the La City Fire Department says
the fire test does not involve burning any vegetation and
says the ATF is using a fur pain powered device
with a focused flame that can reach a maximum of
fifteen feet to try to identify what started the blaze
(24:52):
and exactly where.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Trying to work on a timeline of the events of
January seventh.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
This some testing that they need to do.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
They're going to try to do it between eleven PM
and three a m.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
The ATF is investigating if the Palisades fire was a
reignition of an eight acre brush fire just six days earlier.
The controlled fire tests will take place along a one
point three mile section of the Tamescal Ridge Trail. This
was the front thrower Glen Eisen, like so many other
fire victims, wants to know what caused the ferocious fire,
but more importantly wants to know what can be done
(25:28):
for the future.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
But you do expect that, you know that we learn
from the disaster, and from that disaster there's better preparedness
for the future. No one wants to move back into
their home with an expectation that this can happen happen again.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
Yeah, and that certainly is why the ATF is trying
to figure out exactly what sparked this blaze again and
what can be done for the future. This testing expect
to continue through Thursday. Eli City Fire Department on hand
throughout the entire ordeal and through all of the testing
to make sure that there is no fire, that nothing
(26:07):
happens in kind of any flames possibly race out of control.
But again they say it could take a month or
two before they're able to get any information as part
of this controlled fire test.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I don't understand anything about the process. That report explained
nothing to me.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
So they have some kind of device they shoots a
flame fifteen feet into the air, but they're not burning vegetation.
Then what are they burning? How does this tell them
what happened? How does this tell them if the old
fire got reignited or it was a bum fire? A vagrant,
I mean, vagrants live up in that region. They wander
(26:44):
around in the hills and live in the brush. God,
I remember you remember some years ago a fire started,
it became it became a wildfire, and Garcetti when did
this really stupid public relations photo op thing where he
and some other city employees went marching into the hills
(27:06):
into the brush to look for vagrants.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
He went vagrant hunting, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
And the people ought to be devised because the government
doesn't have a really good record managing this crisis so far.
It's been four months, one thing after another. Hey, you've
