Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app. Also, you can follow us a John
Cobolt Radio on social media at John Cobelt Radio. This
was a decision that had been in the works for
many weeks. A federal judge says Los Angeles has failed
(00:29):
with its homelessness program. So keep that at top of
mind next time you see Karen Bass open her mouth
and try to make claims about homelessness, she's lying. Same
thing with any of the La County Board of Supervisors
such as Hildes Elise or Jannis Hahn or Holly Mitchell.
(00:55):
They're lying, if you know the Lindsay Horvath because LASA,
as you know, is a disaster. They have taken billions
of dollars in tax money, and we have more homeless
than ever. Karen Bass routinely issued statements claiming that they've
taken X number of homeless people off the street. They
(01:18):
have put them indoors one way or the other, inside
safe you know she doesn't talk about inside safe much anymore.
They ran out of money for that and it didn't work.
So whoever they put inside to be safe are going
to be outside and in your face. There was a
big lawsuit that was finally decided this week. There's a
(01:42):
group called La Alliance. It's a coalition of residents and
business owners and some people from legitimate nonprofits and they
sued the city. And this is the third time there's
been a legal settlement. There was one in twenty twenty one,
in twenty twenty two, and now we have a third
settlement in twenty twenty five. And the reason there are
(02:02):
three settlements, the reason there's been three lawsuits. As Karen
Bass and before her, Eric Rcetti flat out wasted the
money lied. Same thing with the La County Board of Supervisors.
Much of the money has been stolen. That's why you
have homeless people running amok. In fact, we got to
(02:25):
play the clip in Brentwood a gardener was getting whacked
in the head repeatedly by a shirtless, bearded homeless guy
with a stick. And so it's hit all corners of
the city and it's not getting any better, and it's
hard to get better when you have an entire bureaucracy
(02:48):
of city, county and lots of workers who actively steal
the money, who steer the tax dollars to nonprofits who
steal the money their political connected nonprofits. I'll give you
an example. Judged Carter issued a sixty two page ruling
found that Karen Bass and the city repeatedly missed deadlines,
(03:12):
misrepresented data that is a fancy legal term for lying,
and failed to provide document credible documentation for the first
two settlements. And the plaintiffs wanted the court to impose receivership,
(03:33):
and Carter decided not to do that. It would have
to be an even more extraordinary situation, I guess. But
he had ordered an audit conducted by Alpharez and Marcel.
The city had claimed that had created sixty seven hundred
(03:55):
shelter beds. The audit could not verify those numbers because
the numbers were made up. They didn't have sixty seven
hundred beds. Imagine you tell a judge there's sixty seven
hundred beds. All you gotta do is get a list
of addresses, walk inside the buildings and count the beds.
I guess there were no addresses. No beds. And here
(04:20):
here is the worst of it. More than two point
three billion dollars in homeless spending could not be fully tracked.
Poor record keeping. What does that mean? Poor record keeping
means no record keeping. They didn't fill it out. Nonprofits
(04:41):
got lots of money, lots of city tax pay dollars,
and they never had to write down improve where the
money went. How about that the city didn't provide complete
data such as it was. Remember most of it's not
(05:01):
written down. But whoever they had, they never provided it
until after the evidence phase, and only under.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Direct court order.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So what little paperwork they had that delineated where the
money went, they had to get a court order a
threat from the judge to do it. You remember Karen
Bass hired eleven lawyers to prevent her from testifying. Eleven
because she has to testify under oath and she can't lie.
(05:32):
She got to prison for purgury. So our tax money
went to eleven lawyers to protect her. The spreadsheet they
did submit revealed a lot of double counting and false reporting.
Judge Carter wrote, the pattern is clear. Documentation is withheld
(05:54):
until exposure is intimate imminent, public accountability is resisted until
traditionally mandated, and the truth of reported progress remains clouded
by evasive record keeping. And that part is probably the
most important. Whenever you hear Karen Bass claim that they
(06:14):
or Karen Bass, who's that little weasel that spokes called
Zack Sidel, they're always making claims about getting people off
the street, they're lying, Judge said, So the truth of
reported progress is clouded by evasive record keeping. They just
don't write anything down, so they you know, if there's
(06:37):
no evidence, there's no crime.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I could go on, but you get the idea. And
what's really galling is a majority of people in La
County voted to raise the sales tax, to double the
sales tax that's directed to homelessness, just this past November.
That's why sales tax is at an all time high,
and the money is going into the black hole. And
(07:04):
Judge Carter's looking down the hole and he can't see
where it went because they're intentionally lying and covering it up.
And because the information doesn't exist, the records don't exist,
you can't even charge Karen Bass with a crime, can you.
And she hired eleven lawyers to make sure that she
can't be questioned.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
More coming up.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You heard about alligator Alcatraz, right, yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
This is great.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Alligator Alcatraz is Trump's idea to send legal aliens and
have them detained at an airfield in the Everglades.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Now I've told you that.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well, we've got a place in Florida, spent a few
weeks a year there, and there's alligators everywhere. There's over
a million of them.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I hope you're I hope you're prepared.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, you know, we we bought a house and on
the on the west coast and around the quarter from
us there was a new development, really good look at
homes and the developers making each one look different. And
we were looking at one lot and then my wife
looks across the street and they had a retention pond
(08:25):
with fencing around it.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Huh. It was just a.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Natural collection area for water. And she goes, no, we
can't buy here. I go why, she goes, Look, but
that pond over there, there's going to be alligators.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
In there, smart lady.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's that's where alligators go, right, And they are seen
in local neighborhoods, especially after hurricanes, because hurricanes stir up
the swampy areas. Yeah, and you know there's like a
surge of water because you know, the hurricanes will get
ten twenty inches of water all at once, and then
the alligators end up scampering around local neighborhoods. There was
(09:01):
a guy I saw a video. Uh, there was a
guy who opened the door and there was an alligator
at his front door.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Remember that that old Saturday Night Live sketch with with
the with the Shark, No, remind me of Chevy Chevy Chase. Yeah, yeah,
he rings the doorbell, Candy gram No, And it was
a well.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Anyway, it was before my time, John.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It was not before your time.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Everybody knows that, Okay, well, I I guess I'm not everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Eric.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
You know that sketch where the shark comes and devours
the the Chevy Chase. She used to play the shark.
Oh yeah, of course, there you go. He's a whole
generation younger.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Than you are.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Okay, Okay, this was it that she didn't know the
other day. Remember she'd never Oh that's right, you never
hadn't heard a sly stone.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah, that's correct. That's very worldly, as you can tell.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I can tell, did you ever get out of the house.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I was locked up in the basement before you.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
That would surprise me because of my big mouth. Oh
were you put in the quiet room? In any event,
I got my way off topic here he did alligator Alcatraz.
This was my idea. I am seriously taking credit for this.
Years ago. When we would talk about illegal immigration at
(10:23):
the border, I would always say, just put up a fence,
and behind the fence, dig a moat and put alligators
in the moat, so if they climb over the fence,
they'll fall into the moat, and the alligators releat them,
eat up all those gang members, all those criminals. And
ken't always said, oh, it wouldn't work. I go, yes,
it would work. Well, I didn't know this, but Trump
(10:46):
during his first term talked about building a moat along
the border filled with alligators or snakes.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Must have stolen the idea from me.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
No, that's not fair. That was It's not fair. Hey,
he did say you were a smart man when you
interviewed him.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know, if we ever get them on again, I'm
gonna raise this isshell, you should I want I'm want
credit or a copywriter or something.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Now in Florida, because they're nuts. In Florida, there is
an airfield in the Everglades. They ever have been to
the Everglades. No endless swamps. There is one main highway
that goes from east to west, like from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean, and two lanes, not
a divided highway. And they have these gullies along the
(11:29):
side of the road because you know, there's a lot
of excessive rain and the gullies filled with water. It's
like it's like a drainage system. And the alligators live
there because they kind of like. Alligators like it when
they can sun, when they can sit in water, but
they can sun their heads and their backs. That's one
of their favorite things. So if you drive along this
(11:49):
highway and I've seen this, you'll see the alligators in
the gully. You do not want to stop to change
a tire on that highway. And they're in neighborhoods. There
was one guy who heard something. He'd gone out to
his front porch. He heard something and he reached into
a bush. He thought it was some kind of dog
(12:11):
or something, an animal chomp alligator. I try to not
jumped his hand.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Why would anybody live there? I know I've asked that
question many times. I know you love it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Zero percent income tax, Okay, but that's it.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
There's a possibility that you're going to get killed by
an alligator.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah you might.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You might lose your right arm. But California is taking
my right arm in taxes right now. So anyway, they
have a remote facility now they're building on this airfield.
It's made up of large tents and they're going to
build I guess real buildings four hundred and fifty million
dollars a year. They're going to get some reimbursement from FEMA,
and they state will not have to invest much in
(12:54):
security because the area is surrounded by alligators and pythons.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Oh god, I hate snakes probably even more.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That was another thing. The pythons are moving north as well.
Not only the alligators moving south to north, but there's
like a million pathons and every year they find them
just a little bit farther north. And uh, they're gonna build, Uh,
they're gonna build the Taboost detention capacity and they want
(13:23):
five thousand beds, and no one's gonna leave. It's gonna
be like well Alcatraz, right, you couldn't jump off the
Alcatraz island because you would you would die in the
San Francisco Bay there that you'd couple that with.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
People are sending illegal immigrants to countries all over the world.
We're actually paying countries or negotiating with them for them
to take illegal aliens who, for whatever reason, their home
country won't accept them.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
They have approached Angola, Mongolia, even your rain.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
See.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
If I were these immigrants, I would self deport to
the home country. She don't want to end up in Ukraine,
Costa Rica took two hundred people China, India and Nepal.
See we don't want to pay the money to fly
them all the way back. And even a Yemeni family.
(14:25):
They were going to send some of the immigrants to
Libya in South Sudan, but at court blocked them. They're
paying Rwanda one hundred thousand dollars to take one Iraqi man.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
He must be a bad guy. Peru has turned them down.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Tricia McLachlan is a Homeland security spokesperson. She wrote on
social media fire up the deportation planes. So let's just
let's just be a warning to those of you in
kutahey that you could end up in Ukraine or Libya.
It might be better just to self deport and pass
(15:06):
on calling the Eighteenth Street Gang for reinforcements because they're
not backing down.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We're on from one until four and the natter four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
This is really concerning. There's a story in the California
Globe that Kamala Harris is now leaning toward running for
California governor.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That that that is just that's very upsetting.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Because there's so many morons in the state that would
vote for her.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Can you can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
This is the woman who spent four years where her
her chief responsibility was the border, and while she was
in charge of the border, ten million people came over
and then Trump shut it in an afternoon. So I
waitn you imagine? You imagine working for a company and
(16:15):
somebody has four years to accomplish a task and then
the replacement gets it done in a matter of hours. Yeah,
she's governor material. This is the woman who insisted passionately
that Joe Biden was really smart, energetic, sharp, on top
(16:37):
of things. It wasn't seen how she get mad. She
get really angry, especially after the debate. I remember she
blew up at Anderson Cooper because he was suggesting that
Biden was done cooked. She said something like, you can't,
let you know, an hour and a half undo all
(16:59):
the accomplishments of the last three and a half years,
all the accomplishments like the ten million people who came
over the border. This is the woman who, when questioned
by her own pals on the view if she would
do anything different if she became president, anything different than Biden,
she says, I would do nothing different. Nothing comes to
(17:23):
mind off the top of my head. Nothing comes to
mind now. Just finished that Jake Tapper book, which I
periodically have been mentioning nobody.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
And this was part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Nobody in the Biden camp thought she should be anywhere
near the presidency. Not only did they not think she
could win, that she couldn't be near the presidency because
they all thought. They all thought she was a dope.
You know, if you got him drunk enough, or gave
(17:53):
him a sodium pentathaw. I bet you nearly every one
of them said, uh no, no, no, we got a
stupido here and only in California every other state, if
Kamala Harris was running for governor should get laughed out,
only here would she immediately be the front runner. And
(18:14):
the thing is, it's not like she's a secret. She's
been in our face for many years now and and
and now she runs for governor. And apparently the other
candidates there's you know, there's a lot of Democratic candidates.
You haven't heard of them because they haven't accomplished anything
in life. They many of them serve in the Newsom administration.
(18:37):
So at every one of them agrees with Newsom on
almost everything I believe in me, well, including that guy.
He's he's edging a little bit away from Newsom because
he's not in the administration. The other word, the others
have to go back to their day job where Newsom's boss.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
But you know, Tony Vallar is out there.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Tony Vallar is in his early seventies now, I think
he's still running around chasing women. One of the women
at Guys is he still grabbing around there. You ever
meet him?
Speaker 6 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I did not.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh so he never took a shot at you?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
No, he would have you never know?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
No, he liked anchor women know if too.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
One of the women at guys at least do so
her Kamila Harris's friends such as they are, well, she
can run for governor, or she could run for president
twenty twenty eight, that's looking good. Or she could just
retire and hide and stop bothering us. How about that?
(19:48):
How about if we did a cofundme to convince her
to stay home?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
She doesn't need the money.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
What's her husband doing?
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Now?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
See you see? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Is he given face slapping classes?
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Remind me I have a story to tell you off
the air. I can't say it on the air.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I can't about him doug Ama, Yeah he didn't slap you,
did he know?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
All right?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
So you have don't be don't be starting rumors like that.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Okay, So you.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Where grew up by and you weren't smacked by doug
am Now you think he can Kama get into it
because she supposedly has a bad temper too. That might
be entertaining one of her friends. Still talking about Kama, Uh,
(20:40):
says she has a glimmer in her eyes, A glimmer.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
She must be thinking about something. Is that because her
eyes are glazed over?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
She has a lot of people in her ear. How
do they telling her that it makes the most sense
and she can do the most good. What is the
most good she could do as governor?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Here? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
What are the list of things that she would do differently?
It's the same question about that she couldn't answer about Biden.
What would you different do differently than Gavin Newsom?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Spread some joy?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's right, there's not enough joy coming out of Gavin.
I mean, because she let so many millions come over
the border. Now Trump's got to send Ice in comes
to La just to enforce the law. Now we're getting riots.
(21:47):
You see, it all goes back to her. She's responsible for.
Does anybody thinks she'd be criticizing the riots now? I mean,
Karen Baswm criticized the riots. Kamalo would be standing right
between Aamala Harris and that nuttie Cynthia Gonzales.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
She'd be up there.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But she's Uh, she's leading the polls for governor, and
she's still leading presidential polls on the Democratic side. For
twenty twenty eight. Think about that We've got I think
we've got about three hundred and forty five million people
in the United States, three hundred and twenty five of
them are legal, and another those three hundred and twenty
(22:29):
five million, we have exactly one person, one woman here,
who's leading the race for governor of California and for
president of the United States on the Democratic side. Isn't
that fascinating?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
We probably all know at least ten people in our
lives who are smarter and more accomplished than Kamala Harris's,
and yet none of these people are ever going to
run for office, will ever hear about them. She's the
(23:07):
only one left. She's the only one who could who
could serve as president or service governor on the Democratic side.
That that's the that's the that's the top talent. Huhh.
That's a direct quote. All right, more coming up.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI I
am sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
This was a disconcerting to wake up to on the
West Side in Brentwood. It looks like, Wow, this is
a crazy looking vagrant. Do you see the video on
this story? This was a guy shirtless, always bad sign,
shaggy hair, shaggy beard. And he had a big stick
and he was wailing away beating a gardener in the head.
(23:56):
Here's a report from KTLA Jennifer McGraw.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Promise Morning Dog.
Speaker 7 (24:04):

Sean Hefron says he's living next door to neighbors from hell.
The owner abandoned the due properties after one burn down
ten years ago, and now it's home to vagrants and
this has been.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
A living nightmare.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
And he's not alone.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
This is my West, not May what happened this morning.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
Brittan Yuile says, he good. Here is gardner screaming.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Streaming upset.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
You know our gardener who comes every week, the most
beautiful guy in the world down the side there and
he was just covered in blood.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
The issue with the property has been going on for
years and escalating in the past couple of months.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
You know, the police have been called multiple times. There
was a fire here last week. The fire department had
to come and put out.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
He's even offered to buy the vacant properties, but to
no avail. He says, the owner won't budge.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I've got two young kids.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I've got a three year old and a five year old,
and you know, we're just scared, scared for the neighborhood.
This guy's violent, he's mentally ill, and he needs to
be taking off the streets.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
A man that caused extreme injuries to Rudolpho, breaking his
hand and doctors had to steeple the gash on his head.
And now the added worry of when he'll be able
to get back to work.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Brigado, Yes, I think it's complicator for me.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
This proma A neighbors say that they've tried everything. They've
contacted the LAPD by phone, by email, dhs HE, and
they say nothing has been done. I also reached out
to the property owner and I haven't heard back from her.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
What an ineffective government, Huh, nobody in government will do anything.
An abandoned building, squatters, crazy, violent mental patient, homeless people
move in and now they're beating up the gardener.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And this is They said, it's Brentwood.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Although I saw the street sign with Santa Monica Boulevard
that's on the extreme south end.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Oh not in your neck of the woods. No, I
forgot to tell you.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So when I left KFI yesterday, I went to a store,
the Dollar Tree to be exact.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
In Encino a Ventura Boulevard. What'd you say?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I said, that's not Louis Vaton. You really what they
had left over?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Guccie or.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
So funny?
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I wanted to go and get these little baskets that
they have at the Dollar Tree. So I park and
I see this homeless guy kind of wandering around, and
so I thought, Okay, I'm gonna kind of get in
there real quick, hopefully he won't notice me. So I
get in, he comes in, I see him wandering, so
I go the opposite direction. So I grabbed the little
baskets and I'm walking up to the cash register. This
(27:11):
guy goes, opens up this little refrigerator that has cokes
and waters, grabs a bunch of stuff in his arms
and walks right out the door.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
And the cash register.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
The cashier looks at me in horror, and I said,
don't do anything.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It's not it's not worth your life to go do anything.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
She said, no, you're no.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I said, I'm not going to do anything.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I'm not gonna care about her.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You were worried you'd get.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
But well, I worry about both of us. But she said,
this happens all the time. And she says and she says,
people wonder why we lose our jobs because the stores
lose money. So what I did was I I texted
a police officer person that I've been in contact with them.
I told you that there was homeless issues in my
neck of the woods. And I told her what happened.
I said, I what do I do? And she said, well,
(27:58):
the cashier needed to call a police and I said, well,
I already laughed, and she said, well, they need to
call the police.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
So I tried calling.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
What's going to happen?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I tried calling the store and they didn't pick up.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
No.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Right in.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Goes and grabs everything he could fit in his arms.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
There's no consequences.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
No, you have good news though, what from our our
friend and your Councilwoman Tracy park I opened up Instagram
to start working on the post for today's show, and
her account twenty hours ago posted grateful to at LAPD
West LA and the vigilant resident whose quick action led
to the arrest of the suspect in this morning's violent
attack on an innocent gardener on the West Side. Unstable,
(28:39):
dangerous people need to be removed from the streets, period.
So this guy has been arrested, rested, But what's going
to happen to him? Well, I mean there's a beating
on camera. Yeah that is it was violent assault. Yeah,
poor guy's head was all bloody. Well that that's great
to know.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Now, Now Tracy's got to work on this house because
somebody abandons a house and it's taken over by squatters,
and you got you got a fire, you got violent vagrants,
you got LAPD not responding City Council I mean, you
got some I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They don't respond anything.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
They'll just respond I guess to pick up your dead body.
Maybe maybe the mortals show up the corner, will come
and drag your corpse away. All right, Well we come back.
There is uh seems to be more and more agreement
that despite CNN's report yesterday, we actually did destroy much
(29:36):
of Iraq Iran's nuclear capabilities. Just another swinging amiss from CNN.
I was thinking in my head today, how many different
major stories that they have they've been wrong on and
they're always wrong in the same direction.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
It couldn't be that they do this on purpose? Now,
could that? Could that be possible?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Because when you're wrong a lot, you should be wrong
on both sides, and it seems when they're wrong, it's
always a wrong story to the detriment of Trump. It's
fascinating how that works. We'll talk about this one coming
up next. Debor Mark live in the CAFI twenty for
our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt
Show podcast. You can always hear the show live on
(30:15):
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 Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app. Also, you can follow us a John
Cobolt Radio on social media at John Cobelt Radio. This
was a decision that had been in the works for
many weeks. A federal judge says Los Angeles has failed
(00:29):
with its homelessness program. So keep that at top of
mind next time you see Karen Bass open her mouth
and try to make claims about homelessness, she's lying. Same
thing with any of the La County Board of Supervisors
such as Hildes Elise or Jannis Hahn or Holly Mitchell.
(00:55):
They're lying, if you know the Lindsay Horvath because LASA,
as you know, is a disaster. They have taken billions
of dollars in tax money, and we have more homeless
than ever. Karen Bass routinely issued statements claiming that they've
taken X number of homeless people off the street. They
(01:18):
have put them indoors one way or the other, inside
safe you know she doesn't talk about inside safe much anymore.
They ran out of money for that and it didn't work.
So whoever they put inside to be safe are going
to be outside and in your face. There was a
big lawsuit that was finally decided this week. There's a
(01:42):
group called La Alliance. It's a coalition of residents and
business owners and some people from legitimate nonprofits and they
sued the city. And this is the third time there's
been a legal settlement. There was one in twenty twenty one,
in twenty twenty two, and now we have a third
settlement in twenty twenty five. And the reason there are
(02:02):
three settlements, the reason there's been three lawsuits. As Karen
Bass and before her, Eric Rcetti flat out wasted the
money lied. Same thing with the La County Board of Supervisors.
Much of the money has been stolen. That's why you
have homeless people running amok. In fact, we got to
(02:25):
play the clip in Brentwood a gardener was getting whacked
in the head repeatedly by a shirtless, bearded homeless guy
with a stick. And so it's hit all corners of
the city and it's not getting any better, and it's
hard to get better when you have an entire bureaucracy
(02:48):
of city, county and lots of workers who actively steal
the money, who steer the tax dollars to nonprofits who
steal the money their political connected nonprofits. I'll give you
an example. Judged Carter issued a sixty two page ruling
found that Karen Bass and the city repeatedly missed deadlines,
(03:12):
misrepresented data that is a fancy legal term for lying,
and failed to provide document credible documentation for the first
two settlements. And the plaintiffs wanted the court to impose receivership,
(03:33):
and Carter decided not to do that. It would have
to be an even more extraordinary situation, I guess. But
he had ordered an audit conducted by Alpharez and Marcel.
The city had claimed that had created sixty seven hundred
(03:55):
shelter beds. The audit could not verify those numbers because
the numbers were made up. They didn't have sixty seven
hundred beds. Imagine you tell a judge there's sixty seven
hundred beds. All you gotta do is get a list
of addresses, walk inside the buildings and count the beds.
I guess there were no addresses. No beds. And here
(04:20):
here is the worst of it. More than two point
three billion dollars in homeless spending could not be fully tracked.
Poor record keeping. What does that mean? Poor record keeping
means no record keeping. They didn't fill it out. Nonprofits
(04:41):
got lots of money, lots of city tax pay dollars,
and they never had to write down improve where the
money went. How about that the city didn't provide complete
data such as it was. Remember most of it's not
(05:01):
written down. But whoever they had, they never provided it
until after the evidence phase, and only under.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Direct court order.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So what little paperwork they had that delineated where the
money went, they had to get a court order a
threat from the judge to do it. You remember Karen
Bass hired eleven lawyers to prevent her from testifying. Eleven
because she has to testify under oath and she can't lie.
(05:32):
She got to prison for purgury. So our tax money
went to eleven lawyers to protect her. The spreadsheet they
did submit revealed a lot of double counting and false reporting.
Judge Carter wrote, the pattern is clear. Documentation is withheld
(05:54):
until exposure is intimate imminent, public accountability is resisted until
traditionally mandated, and the truth of reported progress remains clouded
by evasive record keeping. And that part is probably the
most important. Whenever you hear Karen Bass claim that they
(06:14):
or Karen Bass, who's that little weasel that spokes called
Zack Sidel, they're always making claims about getting people off
the street, they're lying, Judge said, So the truth of
reported progress is clouded by evasive record keeping. They just
don't write anything down, so they you know, if there's
(06:37):
no evidence, there's no crime.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Right.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I could go on, but you get the idea. And
what's really galling is a majority of people in La
County voted to raise the sales tax, to double the
sales tax that's directed to homelessness, just this past November.
That's why sales tax is at an all time high,
and the money is going into the black hole. And
(07:04):
Judge Carter's looking down the hole and he can't see
where it went because they're intentionally lying and covering it up.
And because the information doesn't exist, the records don't exist,
you can't even charge Karen Bass with a crime, can you.
And she hired eleven lawyers to make sure that she
can't be questioned.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
More coming up.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You heard about alligator Alcatraz, right, yes, I did.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
This is great.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Alligator Alcatraz is Trump's idea to send legal aliens and
have them detained at an airfield in the Everglades.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Now I've told you that.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Well, we've got a place in Florida, spent a few
weeks a year there, and there's alligators everywhere. There's over
a million of them.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
I hope you're I hope you're prepared.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, you know, we we bought a house and on
the on the west coast and around the quarter from
us there was a new development, really good look at
homes and the developers making each one look different. And
we were looking at one lot and then my wife
looks across the street and they had a retention pond
(08:25):
with fencing around it.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Huh. It was just a.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Natural collection area for water. And she goes, no, we
can't buy here. I go why, she goes, Look, but
that pond over there, there's going to be alligators.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
In there, smart lady.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
That's that's where alligators go, right, And they are seen
in local neighborhoods, especially after hurricanes, because hurricanes stir up
the swampy areas. Yeah, and you know there's like a
surge of water because you know, the hurricanes will get
ten twenty inches of water all at once, and then
the alligators end up scampering around local neighborhoods. There was
(09:01):
a guy I saw a video. Uh, there was a
guy who opened the door and there was an alligator
at his front door.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
So I can't even imagine.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Remember that that old Saturday Night Live sketch with with
the with the Shark, No, remind me of Chevy Chevy Chase. Yeah, yeah,
he rings the doorbell, Candy gram No, And it was
a well.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Anyway, it was before my time, John.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
It was not before your time.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Everybody knows that, Okay, well, I I guess I'm not everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Eric.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
You know that sketch where the shark comes and devours
the the Chevy Chase. She used to play the shark.
Oh yeah, of course, there you go. He's a whole
generation younger.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Than you are.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Okay, Okay, this was it that she didn't know the
other day. Remember she'd never Oh that's right, you never
hadn't heard a sly stone.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah, that's correct. That's very worldly, as you can tell.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I can tell, did you ever get out of the house.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
I was locked up in the basement before you.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
That would surprise me because of my big mouth. Oh
were you put in the quiet room? In any event,
I got my way off topic here he did alligator Alcatraz.
This was my idea. I am seriously taking credit for this.
Years ago. When we would talk about illegal immigration at
(10:23):
the border, I would always say, just put up a fence,
and behind the fence, dig a moat and put alligators
in the moat, so if they climb over the fence,
they'll fall into the moat, and the alligators releat them,
eat up all those gang members, all those criminals. And
ken't always said, oh, it wouldn't work. I go, yes,
it would work. Well, I didn't know this, but Trump
(10:46):
during his first term talked about building a moat along
the border filled with alligators or snakes.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Must have stolen the idea from me.
Speaker 6 (10:54):
No, that's not fair. That was It's not fair. Hey,
he did say you were a smart man when you
interviewed him.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
You know, if we ever get them on again, I'm
gonna raise this isshell, you should I want I'm want
credit or a copywriter or something.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Now in Florida, because they're nuts. In Florida, there is
an airfield in the Everglades. They ever have been to
the Everglades. No endless swamps. There is one main highway
that goes from east to west, like from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean, and two lanes, not
a divided highway. And they have these gullies along the
(11:29):
side of the road because you know, there's a lot
of excessive rain and the gullies filled with water. It's
like it's like a drainage system. And the alligators live
there because they kind of like. Alligators like it when
they can sun, when they can sit in water, but
they can sun their heads and their backs. That's one
of their favorite things. So if you drive along this
(11:49):
highway and I've seen this, you'll see the alligators in
the gully. You do not want to stop to change
a tire on that highway. And they're in neighborhoods. There
was one guy who heard something. He'd gone out to
his front porch. He heard something and he reached into
a bush. He thought it was some kind of dog
(12:11):
or something, an animal chomp alligator. I try to not
jumped his hand.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Why would anybody live there? I know I've asked that
question many times. I know you love it.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Zero percent income tax, Okay, but that's it.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
There's a possibility that you're going to get killed by
an alligator.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah you might.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You might lose your right arm. But California is taking
my right arm in taxes right now. So anyway, they
have a remote facility now they're building on this airfield.
It's made up of large tents and they're going to
build I guess real buildings four hundred and fifty million
dollars a year. They're going to get some reimbursement from FEMA,
and they state will not have to invest much in
(12:54):
security because the area is surrounded by alligators and pythons.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Oh god, I hate snakes probably even more.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
That was another thing. The pythons are moving north as well.
Not only the alligators moving south to north, but there's
like a million pathons and every year they find them
just a little bit farther north. And uh, they're gonna build, Uh,
they're gonna build the Taboost detention capacity and they want
(13:23):
five thousand beds, and no one's gonna leave. It's gonna
be like well Alcatraz, right, you couldn't jump off the
Alcatraz island because you would you would die in the
San Francisco Bay there that you'd couple that with.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
People are sending illegal immigrants to countries all over the world.
We're actually paying countries or negotiating with them for them
to take illegal aliens who, for whatever reason, their home
country won't accept them.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
They have approached Angola, Mongolia, even your rain.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
See.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
If I were these immigrants, I would self deport to
the home country. She don't want to end up in Ukraine,
Costa Rica took two hundred people China, India and Nepal.
See we don't want to pay the money to fly
them all the way back. And even a Yemeni family.
(14:25):
They were going to send some of the immigrants to
Libya in South Sudan, but at court blocked them. They're
paying Rwanda one hundred thousand dollars to take one Iraqi man.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
He must be a bad guy. Peru has turned them down.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Tricia McLachlan is a Homeland security spokesperson. She wrote on
social media fire up the deportation planes. So let's just
let's just be a warning to those of you in
kutahey that you could end up in Ukraine or Libya.
It might be better just to self deport and pass
(15:06):
on calling the Eighteenth Street Gang for reinforcements because they're
not backing down.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We're on from one until four and the natter four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
This is really concerning. There's a story in the California
Globe that Kamala Harris is now leaning toward running for
California governor.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
That that that is just that's very upsetting.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Because there's so many morons in the state that would
vote for her.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Can you can you imagine?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
This is the woman who spent four years where her
her chief responsibility was the border, and while she was
in charge of the border, ten million people came over
and then Trump shut it in an afternoon. So I
waitn you imagine? You imagine working for a company and
(16:15):
somebody has four years to accomplish a task and then
the replacement gets it done in a matter of hours. Yeah,
she's governor material. This is the woman who insisted passionately
that Joe Biden was really smart, energetic, sharp, on top
(16:37):
of things. It wasn't seen how she get mad. She
get really angry, especially after the debate. I remember she
blew up at Anderson Cooper because he was suggesting that
Biden was done cooked. She said something like, you can't,
let you know, an hour and a half undo all
(16:59):
the accomplishments of the last three and a half years,
all the accomplishments like the ten million people who came
over the border. This is the woman who, when questioned
by her own pals on the view if she would
do anything different if she became president, anything different than Biden,
she says, I would do nothing different. Nothing comes to
(17:23):
mind off the top of my head. Nothing comes to
mind now. Just finished that Jake Tapper book, which I
periodically have been mentioning nobody.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
And this was part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Nobody in the Biden camp thought she should be anywhere
near the presidency. Not only did they not think she
could win, that she couldn't be near the presidency because
they all thought. They all thought she was a dope.
You know, if you got him drunk enough, or gave
(17:53):
him a sodium pentathaw. I bet you nearly every one
of them said, uh no, no, no, we got a
stupido here and only in California every other state, if
Kamala Harris was running for governor should get laughed out,
only here would she immediately be the front runner. And
(18:14):
the thing is, it's not like she's a secret. She's
been in our face for many years now and and
and now she runs for governor. And apparently the other
candidates there's you know, there's a lot of Democratic candidates.
You haven't heard of them because they haven't accomplished anything
in life. They many of them serve in the Newsom administration.
(18:37):
So at every one of them agrees with Newsom on
almost everything I believe in me, well, including that guy.
He's he's edging a little bit away from Newsom because
he's not in the administration. The other word, the others
have to go back to their day job where Newsom's boss.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
But you know, Tony Vallar is out there.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Tony Vallar is in his early seventies now, I think
he's still running around chasing women. One of the women
at Guys is he still grabbing around there. You ever
meet him?
Speaker 6 (19:13):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I did not.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh so he never took a shot at you?
Speaker 2 (19:16):
No, he would have you never know?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
No, he liked anchor women know if too.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
One of the women at guys at least do so
her Kamila Harris's friends such as they are, well, she
can run for governor, or she could run for president
twenty twenty eight, that's looking good. Or she could just
retire and hide and stop bothering us. How about that?
(19:48):
How about if we did a cofundme to convince her
to stay home?
Speaker 4 (19:51):
She doesn't need the money.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
What's her husband doing?
Speaker 6 (19:54):
Now?
Speaker 2 (19:55):
See you see? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Is he given face slapping classes?
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Remind me I have a story to tell you off
the air. I can't say it on the air.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
I can't about him doug Ama, Yeah he didn't slap you,
did he know?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
All right?
Speaker 4 (20:14):
So you have don't be don't be starting rumors like that.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Okay, So you.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Where grew up by and you weren't smacked by doug
am Now you think he can Kama get into it
because she supposedly has a bad temper too. That might
be entertaining one of her friends. Still talking about Kama, Uh,
(20:40):
says she has a glimmer in her eyes, A glimmer.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
She must be thinking about something. Is that because her
eyes are glazed over?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
She has a lot of people in her ear. How
do they telling her that it makes the most sense
and she can do the most good. What is the
most good she could do as governor?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Here? Exactly?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
What are the list of things that she would do differently?
It's the same question about that she couldn't answer about Biden.
What would you different do differently than Gavin Newsom?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Spread some joy?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
That's right, there's not enough joy coming out of Gavin.
I mean, because she let so many millions come over
the border. Now Trump's got to send Ice in comes
to La just to enforce the law. Now we're getting riots.
(21:47):
You see, it all goes back to her. She's responsible for.
Does anybody thinks she'd be criticizing the riots now? I mean,
Karen Baswm criticized the riots. Kamalo would be standing right
between Aamala Harris and that nuttie Cynthia Gonzales.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
She'd be up there.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But she's Uh, she's leading the polls for governor, and
she's still leading presidential polls on the Democratic side. For
twenty twenty eight. Think about that We've got I think
we've got about three hundred and forty five million people
in the United States, three hundred and twenty five of
them are legal, and another those three hundred and twenty
(22:29):
five million, we have exactly one person, one woman here,
who's leading the race for governor of California and for
president of the United States on the Democratic side. Isn't
that fascinating?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Now?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
We probably all know at least ten people in our
lives who are smarter and more accomplished than Kamala Harris's,
and yet none of these people are ever going to
run for office, will ever hear about them. She's the
(23:07):
only one left. She's the only one who could who
could serve as president or service governor on the Democratic side.
That that's the that's the that's the top talent. Huhh.
That's a direct quote. All right, more coming up.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI I
am sixty.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
This was a disconcerting to wake up to on the
West Side in Brentwood. It looks like, Wow, this is
a crazy looking vagrant. Do you see the video on
this story? This was a guy shirtless, always bad sign,
shaggy hair, shaggy beard. And he had a big stick
and he was wailing away beating a gardener in the head.
(23:56):
Here's a report from KTLA Jennifer McGraw.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
Promise Morning Dog.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
The nearby transient is complaining about the noise. The gardner
tries telling him to leave. Moments later, that's when the
man violently begins beating him.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, I'm ready scare because my list listen.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Jac and Jacin.
Speaker 7 (24:19):
Brudolfo Roman recounting the crazy encounter a bucking three.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I'm going to down to the floor and I'm.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
The second second trot to me.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
I'm pulling my friend that hits in as hard as
he can and he hits him all he's down and
he hit him without conscious and he hit him full strength.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Sean Hefron says he's living next door to neighbors from hell.
The owner abandoned the due properties after one burn down
ten years ago, and now it's home to vagrants and
this has been.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
A living nightmare.
Speaker 7 (24:49):
And he's not alone.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
This is my West, not May what happened this morning.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
I was hoping it wasn't.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
He You could get to that, you know, We're spoken
to that landowner multiple times.
Speaker 7 (24:58):
Brittan Yuile says, he good. Here is gardner screaming.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Streaming upset.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
You know our gardener who comes every week, the most
beautiful guy in the world down the side there and
he was just covered in blood.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
The issue with the property has been going on for
years and escalating in the past couple of months.
Speaker 8 (25:16):
You know, the police have been called multiple times. There
was a fire here last week. The fire department had
to come and put out.
Speaker 7 (25:22):
He's even offered to buy the vacant properties, but to
no avail. He says, the owner won't budge.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I've got two young kids.
Speaker 8 (25:29):
I've got a three year old and a five year old,
and you know, we're just scared, scared for the neighborhood.
This guy's violent, he's mentally ill, and he needs to
be taking off the streets.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
A man that caused extreme injuries to Rudolpho, breaking his
hand and doctors had to steeple the gash on his head.
And now the added worry of when he'll be able
to get back to work.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Brigado, Yes, I think it's complicator for me.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
This proma A neighbors say that they've tried everything. They've
contacted the LAPD by phone, by email, dhs HE, and
they say nothing has been done. I also reached out
to the property owner and I haven't heard back from her.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
What an ineffective government, Huh, nobody in government will do anything.
An abandoned building, squatters, crazy, violent mental patient, homeless people
move in and now they're beating up the gardener.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
And this is They said, it's Brentwood.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Although I saw the street sign with Santa Monica Boulevard
that's on the extreme south end.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Oh not in your neck of the woods. No, I
forgot to tell you.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
So when I left KFI yesterday, I went to a store,
the Dollar Tree to be exact.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
In Encino a Ventura Boulevard. What'd you say?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
I said, that's not Louis Vaton. You really what they
had left over?
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Guccie or.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
So funny?
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I wanted to go and get these little baskets that
they have at the Dollar Tree. So I park and
I see this homeless guy kind of wandering around, and
so I thought, Okay, I'm gonna kind of get in
there real quick, hopefully he won't notice me. So I
get in, he comes in, I see him wandering, so
I go the opposite direction. So I grabbed the little
baskets and I'm walking up to the cash register. This
(27:11):
guy goes, opens up this little refrigerator that has cokes
and waters, grabs a bunch of stuff in his arms
and walks right out the door.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
And the cash register.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
The cashier looks at me in horror, and I said,
don't do anything.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
It's not it's not worth your life to go do anything.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
She said, no, you're no.
Speaker 4 (27:32):
I said, I'm not going to do anything.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I'm not gonna care about her.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
You were worried you'd get.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
But well, I worry about both of us. But she said,
this happens all the time. And she says and she says,
people wonder why we lose our jobs because the stores
lose money. So what I did was I I texted
a police officer person that I've been in contact with them.
I told you that there was homeless issues in my
neck of the woods. And I told her what happened.
I said, I what do I do? And she said, well,
(27:58):
the cashier needed to call a police and I said, well,
I already laughed, and she said, well, they need to
call the police.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
So I tried calling.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
What's going to happen?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
I tried calling the store and they didn't pick up.
Speaker 6 (28:08):
No.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Right in.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Goes and grabs everything he could fit in his arms.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
There's no consequences.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
No, you have good news though, what from our our
friend and your Councilwoman Tracy park I opened up Instagram
to start working on the post for today's show, and
her account twenty hours ago posted grateful to at LAPD
West LA and the vigilant resident whose quick action led
to the arrest of the suspect in this morning's violent
attack on an innocent gardener on the West Side. Unstable,
(28:39):
dangerous people need to be removed from the streets, period.
So this guy has been arrested, rested, But what's going
to happen to him? Well, I mean there's a beating
on camera. Yeah that is it was violent assault. Yeah,
poor guy's head was all bloody. Well that that's great
to know.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Now, Now Tracy's got to work on this house because
somebody abandons a house and it's taken over by squatters,
and you got you got a fire, you got violent vagrants,
you got LAPD not responding City Council I mean, you
got some I don't know.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They don't respond anything.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
They'll just respond I guess to pick up your dead body.
Maybe maybe the mortals show up the corner, will come
and drag your corpse away. All right, Well we come back.
There is uh seems to be more and more agreement
that despite CNN's report yesterday, we actually did destroy much
(29:36):
of Iraq Iran's nuclear capabilities. Just another swinging amiss from CNN.
I was thinking in my head today, how many different
major stories that they have they've been wrong on and
they're always wrong in the same direction.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
It couldn't be that they do this on purpose? Now,
could that? Could that be possible?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Because when you're wrong a lot, you should be wrong
on both sides, and it seems when they're wrong, it's
always a wrong story to the detriment of Trump. It's
fascinating how that works. We'll talk about this one coming
up next. Debor Mark live in the CAFI twenty for
