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.
We're on from one until four after four o'clock. Get
the podcast. Listen to the show later in the day
or tonight or tomorrow at It's called John Cobelt Show
on Demand, all right, So download the thing and listen
to it. You're required to hear all three hours every day.
(00:22):
And there's no excuses.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
There are so.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Many crazy people, I mean really crazy people. I'm reading
a story in front of the La Times about the Dodgers.
Trump hosted them at the White House today, right. You
should see how many stupid comments from La Times readers
who are angry and upset that they went to see
Trump and they're never going to go to a game again,
(00:48):
and they're never going to support the Dodgers again. Good lord.
The Times even had an idiot. Sportswriter, Dylan Hernandez, wrote
a column last week insisting that there's no way the
Dodgers should go to Trump's White House because a majority
of the La County residents voted against them. It's like,
what a moron, what a vegetable. There's so much mental
(01:13):
illness out there, you know, speaking of mental illness. The
head of LASA quit just about five minutes after the
end of our show Friday, right after we threw her
in the dumpster. Details to come. She got defunded, she
got her mic cut off at the LA County supervisor's hearing,
(01:37):
and after they found there was two billion dollars unaccounted
for her in her budget, she's decided to get out
of town. I'd call lawyer if I were you, So
we'll have stuff on that later in the hour. Let's
go now to John Coopaul. He's the president of the
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. Because here's a new one City
(02:00):
Los Angeles Housing Department LAHD. I'd ever heard of this place.
You may be getting if you own a home in
LA you may be getting a letter demanding that you
pay thirty one dollars in five cents for a special
fee or get this, you have to explain why you
shouldn't have to pay it. It's called a just cause
enforcement fee. I don't particularly understand this. That's why John
(02:24):
Coopaul is going to come on and explain it, because
apparently a lot of you have gotten or may be
getting this stupid demand to pay them money. You always
got to pay a ransom, it seems John, you there.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I am here. How are you doing, John.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I'm doing fine. What is this? I've never heard of it.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's just another silly attempt by the city of la
to shake down homeowners and try to secure revenue that
they are otherwise not entitled to. This is a this
just cause ordinance was passed following the fires, and it
(03:04):
was intended to prevent people from evicting tenants in the
hopes of raising their rents a type market. First of all,
number one, one can seriously question the sanity of that
thinking out of the box. But the problem is because
(03:25):
this just cause enforcement fee does not apply to any
property that's already subject to the rent Stabilization Ordinance that's
already known as rank control. It only applies to owners
of single family condominiums or accessory dwelling units that are
not subject to rank control. So why are they setting
(03:47):
this out? Well, the trigger for them is anybody who
has a manly address that differs from their property address
in the assessor's office. So they're assuming, well, you must
you renting, whether or not they're renting or not. And
in many cases, they are not. So what this city
does is they send up this very scary letter saying,
(04:09):
you know, you have to prove that you're not renting
your house.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Well, why do you do that.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It's like proving a negative. They have to they have
to fill out a form. They have to fill out
a form that says, Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'm not renting, I'm not writing out my house.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I'm renting out my house. But but you know, instead
of being first of all, instead of being an informational
letter saying, hey, by the way, if you have a
house and you're renting it, you are subject to this ordinance.
Please be advised that you're you're subject to this ordinance
and you've got to pay the thirty one dollars or whatever.
But instead they say just cause Ordinance Property Determination notice
(04:53):
and says failure to pay the fees by the dutate
will result an assessment of delinquent penalty fees and the
collection activity. Okay, it's the same scary crap.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay, So and so I have a house in the
in the city of la and I'm living in it,
but I don't have a separate mailing address, so I'm
not going to get this letter. But if I had
like a post office box address to collect my mail,
then I would get the letter and they'd ask me
to prove I wasn't renting out my.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Own home, correct, correct, and they and they would provide
a form for you to fill out. But here's the thing.
It may be number one, it may be a minor
inconvenience that you wouldn't mind doing one time. Okay, I
got to I've been reading this. A lot of people
may look at that and say, look, I'm not going
to fill out the paperwork. I'll just pay the thirty
(05:43):
one dollars fee and forget about it. But the other
thing is, and this is the part that corks me,
is that you've got to reapply every year. Now to me, okay,
fill out the forum, get the exemption, and the exemption
will apply until you rent the property. But to make
(06:03):
homeowners who are not renting their property fill out the
same darn form every year, it's just again, what they're
trying to do is they're probably counting on a number hundreds,
if not thousands of homeowners just to throw in the towel.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
And people get confused when they read official government letters
that they don't understand and they'll pay the thirty one
dollars anyway, just in case, just to make sure that's right.
All right, Yeah, you talk about psychological manipulation. Send somebody
a frightening letter and they give you the thirty one
bucks when they don't understand it and they don't have
the time to call a government office to figure it
(06:43):
out anyway, that's what they count on.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, and keep in mind, this is on top of
all the property taxes, fees, charges and assessments. You're already
getting a lot of exactions from the city and it's
very hard to keep track of all of them, and
now you're getting this, which is a set put thing
on top of all of those. It's no wonder people
are extremely frustrated with the city.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All right, Well, very good, John, I'm glad you came
on and explained this to people, and maybe we've helped
out some people who ordinarily would have forked over the
thirty one bucks.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, give them the satisfaction, fill out the fill out
the form, and then in the meantime we'll try we'll
try to do something to put pressure on that you
don't have to fill that out every year. But we'll
see we're gonna make some progress.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's Karen Bassters Los Angeles here. They've got they've got
funding for this department. They didn't have funding for the
fire department to keep all the homes from burning down.
All right, John, talk with you soon. Thanks, take care
of John bid all right. But Alicia Adams Kellum around
this time on Friday, we were tossing her into the
dumpster and uh, she hit the bottom of the dumpster
(07:50):
and immediately resigned. It looks like while she was inside
and she she had well, I mean, she got exposed
these audits that she lost track of billions of dollars.
Investigations from a media outlet a few months ago showed
she shoveled two million dollars to her husband's nonprofit. And
(08:11):
as you know, homelessness is not significantly better in any way,
no matter what they claim.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's a disaster.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So she's done nothing but take an exorbited salary and
enrich your husband's nonprofit. And now she's gone, Bye bye.
We'll talk about her when we come back.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You could follow us to John Cobelt Radio on social media.
There's we're less than five hundred followers away from twenty
five thousand at John Cobelt Radio to keep track of
everything that goes on here, all right, Valicia Adams Kellum,
that is one person, Va, Dalysia l e Cia Adams
(08:59):
and Kellum. One of those is her married names. So
this woman with four names was hired by her buddy
Karen Bass to run the Los Angeles Housing what's it CALTSLASSA.
What is the s for Services Services Authority? Right, Los
Angeles Housing Services Authority. And she got over four hundred
(09:23):
thousand dollars for this, way more than her last predecessor,
and she's completely screwed everything up. She lost track of
over two billion dollars. We have not one, but two
audits that say she lost track of a lot of money.
One was from the city controller, Kenneth Mahea, and then
(09:45):
the second, which proved to be the final blow, was
from the federal judge David o'carter. He got an outside
agency and outside accounting firm to do the audit and
found out that, you know, the money disappeared. They don't
know if any of it worked, They don't know exactly
what it was for two billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I mean, I h.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So she's obviously obviously terrible at her job. I mean,
she had a really bad year because her her husband
was given a two million dollar contract by LASA that
she signed. Her husband is one of the senior leaders
of Upward Bound House, Santa Monica based nonprofit's supposed to
(10:35):
get rid of homeless. Yeah, have you been to Santa Monica?
Do you believed the racket? Two million dollars goes from
the wife to the husband for a homeless nonprofit in
a town that has been ruined by homeless only in America.
(11:00):
Her husband's Edward Kellum, and she insisted that she followed
all the ethics rules, and you know, she reccused herself.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
She walled herself off.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
She had nothing to do because first, you know, it
was announced that Upward Poundhouse got the two million and say, hey, hey,
your husband works there.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I had nothing to do with it. I was recused.
I was walled off.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
And then last dot com that's a public radio news outlet.
They got the contracts and there's three contracts here, one
the main contract and two amendments, three separate documents, two
(11:49):
of them signed on March eleventh, one of them signed
on May eighteenth of last year, and at the top
it says four Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. In other words,
the signature below is signing it on behalf of LASA,
and very clearly you could see her careful handwriting. Valicia
(12:11):
Adams Kellum, Valicia Adams Kellum, Valicia Adams Kellum. Three documents,
three signatures, they're all the same. And then it says
her name, doctor Valicia Adams Kellum. I don't know what
the doctor it's about, but you remember she showed up
at the LA County Supervisors meeting and announced she was
a former homeless person. And suddenly this all made sense
(12:33):
because if you put a former homeless person in charge
of a homeless agency, what do you think is going
to happen? Oh, they're gonna lose track of two billion
dollars and mysteriously their husband gets two million dollars in
a contract that she claims she never signed, except she did.
And on the bottom it's got another signature for upward
(12:57):
Bound House. It's signed by Christian Miracy Glasgow. Three names.
So clearly she was aware of it because she signed
all three contracts. And then she said well, I didn't
look at what I was signing. It was put on
(13:17):
my desk Mistakenly, she didn't recognize the name of her
husband's nonprofit company.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Really.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Last also found that Adam Kellams had a number of
interactions with Upward Boundhouse. She spoke with her husband's employer
last year regarding complaints made during public comments claiming failures
in Upward Boundhouse's performance. So there are people complaining about this,
(13:55):
and I'm not surprised considering the state of the homeless
in Santa Monica. And so she ended up talking with
upper Boundhouse. And the laws are pretty specific that you
can't have any participation whatsoever, according to Sean mc morris,
who runs the ethics program for California Common Cause, that's
the law. That's the law. She knowingly, willingly signed the
(14:18):
contract and then amazingly claimed what she wasn't looking. Now,
when we come back, we will talk about her resignation
days after the LA County Supervisors. By the way, it's
a four nothing vote with one abstention. Nobody tried to
(14:39):
save her ass, all right, nobody. Everybody apparently agrees she's
been a disaster. You know, some of these idiot politicians
are saying nicely nice things about her, but really it's
billions of dollars passed through her hands. And look out there,
you use your own eyes. We'll also play you a
clip from the supervisors meeting where she announced she was
(15:01):
formerly homeless. And two they cut her off. They didn't
even give her a formal speaking role at the meeting.
She had to stand in line with all the other
crazy people. They gave her an extra thirty seconds, and
then she overran that because she was desperately trying to
preserve her job, and then they just cut her off
and she still kept talking. It's a great clip. We
(15:23):
played it last week. But since she's resigned, you know,
let's let's dance on her bureaucratic grave.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Here you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI
A six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Why they're all phonies, every single one of them, right
to the bone. New York Post has a funny story
just they released a few minutes ago. You know, the
fighter for the working Class, Alexandria Acassia Cortez. She had
flown to Las Vegas from New York to go to
(15:59):
the Bernie Sanders rally fight the oligarchy.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Or some such nonsense.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well she uh, she was photographed sitting in a very
comfy first class seat on Jet Blue. So miss miss
Socialist was going to mister socialists, uh fight the oligarchy rally,
and uh there she is, first class window seat, very roomy,
(16:30):
very comfy. At least she didn't fly private, right, No, no,
she didn't fly, but she's all she is on a plane.
She's also always squealing about climate change. But she's got
a nice first class seat on an expensive jet and
she would fly private if she could. I you know,
it's easy to fool people, really easy.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Uh oh speaking easy to fool people, Felicia Adams Kellum, Well,
she's had a bad year.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
She had in recent months. She had one audit.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Come from the La City Controller, Kenneth Mohea, who said, hey,
we we can't track billions of dollars. And then we
had a second audit from the federal judge David o'carter.
He hired an agency, Hey we can't find billions of dollars.
Then we found out she gave away two million dollars
to her husband at his nonprofit and they lied about it.
(17:30):
They found her signatures all over three different contracts, and finally,
after the federal judge audit, the La County Supervisors held
a meeting and they defunded her. They took away three
hundred and fifty million dollars that was their share of
funding LASSAP. She was very upset and wanted to speak well,
(17:54):
they didn't give her a speaking role at the hearing.
They relegated her to standing in line, and twice she
ran over time. We've edited the two segments together.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
She was sixty.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Then they let her do another thirty and then she
went overtime. Anyway, anyway, listen to this woman scrambling to
save her four hundred thousand dollars plus job that she's
really bad at.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
I am the CEO of LASA, and there's been a
lot of negative things said about LASA today. As was
said in the motion when it first released, it indicated
that much of the look back audits did not cover
the time of my leadership. But when I came on
and I met with each of you, I took on
the responsibility of the many years twenty plus years of
(18:41):
system failure, particularly at LASA. But I made promises. One
would be a reduction in unsheltered homelessness, which we've seen
now two years in a row. To enhance transparency, I
promised that we would improve our operations and we have.
We've implemented twenty new data dashboards that provide unprecedented insight
into how our system functions. The questions you had about
(19:04):
functions and system improvements. We can actually provide that data
to you today and it is on our public website
and it's public facing. Contracting were at eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Next speaker, please.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Can we give her, given the fact that she is
over lost, I'd like to give her an initial thirty
seconds to finish up.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
To improve provider payments, we work with all of you
to ensure that we would have advanced systems where we
would reconcile tiling no longer.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Waiting months and months, blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
We've made a lot of the changes that you proposed,
and the oversight and KPIs that we have helped make
available to EKRA is made possible by the tremendous people
that join me.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
At LASA just a year a chow.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
As I said before, this work is very personal to me.
Me and my daughter's experienced homelessness.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
You know what it's like, thank you got cut off. Listen,
she keeps babbling.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
And I hope that you will be engaging to cut
off her mic.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Somebody said thank you, But the lady likes her life.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Four hundred thousand dollars a lot of travel.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Remember when she was supposed to up here before Judge Carter,
they found her in Boston speaking at Harvard.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Speaking at Harvard. Why speaker, please shut up, lady, That's
what they were saying.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Well, we played that on Friday and then threw her
in the dumpster into into the garbage dumpster. The Ukrainians
picked her up, hurled her right to the bottom, never
spit all over her, and then minutes later she resigned.
I guess that was the final humiliation. I don't think
we've ever had anybody quit that quickly after being tossed
(20:48):
into the dumpster. Yes, the dumpster was being carted off
by iHeartMedia maintenance, and you heard her yelling and banging inside,
and somewhere in there she announced her resignation. And what's
funny is you've got all these political hacks who've dug
(21:09):
our collective grave here for all these years, and they
come out and after she resigns. The praiser Wendy Gruhle,
who was so bad as a candidate she actually lost
to Eric Arcetti for mayor. And she said that we
brought Adams Kellum in to be a change agent, and
she's been a change agent.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, she lost track of two billion dollars. That's that's
really good. Oh and they keep bragging about the homelessness
is down five percent. You know, when you have seventy
five thousand people in the streets, nobody's going to notice
your five percent, if that's even true. One supervisor told
more of the truth, Lindsey Horvath. She said, this is
(21:51):
a pivotal moment. We have to replace this broken system,
one that costs for log overdue change. Wait, I thought
she was a change agent. Loss has seen multiple leadership transitions.
While change is uncomfortable for some, this is what the
moment requires. Karen Bass, she's the one who she was
the one who hired Adams Callimer recommended her because she's
(22:13):
a buddy, said she had bold vision. Despite knowing that
LASSA was broken, she answered the call of service to
service CEO, Why is it broken all the time? We've
given billions of dollars and all we hear now from
these people is it's broken. And some of these people
would tell us two years ago, four years ago, six
years ago, eight years ago that you know, we're riding
(22:33):
the ship and the homeless bodies piled up all over
the place. And I mentioned this before, and I'm going
to publicly keep on this, although I think Tracy Park
is going to help out my counsel woman. I got
a homeless guy living on Santa Centi Boulevard that I
pass every day who chased after my wife and I.
We were in a car and because we stopped and
(22:54):
took a photo of him, he got a wooden pole
or a pipe or something and down the street screaming.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And he's a known lunatic mental patient. He's violent.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I haven't been able to get him, to get him out,
nobody has. Lots of people are calling and complaining and
then told the police and everything.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's like it's broken. You have to force people.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
You have to force people into mental health treatment or
drug treatment. Force even if you have a cop and
he's got to pull a gun out. It's like you're
going to mental health treatment now, or you're under arrest
and you're going to jail. That's what you have to do.
(23:44):
None of the civil rights nonsense. No civil rights for
people who are living in the streets, urinating, defecating, injecting drugs,
snorting drugs, screaming, yelling, threatening, chasing people with sticks and pipes.
No rights. You don't have civil rights to do that anyway.
Supreme Court said, so, enough is enough, zero tolerance, No
(24:09):
more crazy people in the streets, No more drug addicts
in the streets.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
No.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Felicia Adams Kellum, what a shock. She made way more
than her predecessor. And then she gives her husband a
two million dollar contract. I'm telling you this is all
a money laundering operation. Then she comes up with phony
numbers saying, well, you know it's down five percent in
the county.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, nobody noticed, va Licia.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
So since we put a homeless person in charge of
LASA and it didn't work out, what's next. Are we
gonna have a felon? How about a former homeless? How
about a formerly homeless felon like somebody actually from somebody
who's we've got a life sentence. Maybe, why do we
(25:03):
put him in charge of LASSU? Could it be any worse?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And the two o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Tomorrow, we're gonna have the USC professor Michael Missche on.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Michael msche.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Just did a study to see why California gas prices
have been so high for the last fifty years. Fifty
years in fact, let's see what what is it right?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
What is it right now?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yes, you know, in the state of Mississippi, gas is
two dollars and seventy five cents. Here in California it's
four ninety five. It's two dollars and twenty cents higher
than the state of Mississippi. And Mississippi is not that
much of an outlier because Oklahoma and Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina,
(25:59):
Texas is, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Kansas, New Hampshire, Missouri, North Carolina,
Massachusetts all under three bucks. In fact, there's about forty
three states under under three point thirty the low three
dollars and thirty cents. And you've always heard newsom lying
about being gadged by all companies. Well, the USC Professor
(26:20):
Michael mcche says the cause of high gas prices for
over fifty years, has been politicians and state bureaucrats. We
will talk to Michael McShane the two o'clock hour to
march here on the show, and Conway is here.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Excellent, Thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Nathan Hofckman is having a press conference at four o'clock.
We'll talk with Michael Monks and we'll recap that at
four twenty. Then David Vatsea was in the White House
today with the LA Dodgers. That was pretty exciting. We'll
talk to him at four thirty five. Will Coleshrivers flying
high over the championship game Florida versus Houston. We'll chat
(27:00):
with him, and then Bob Miller, the voice of the Kings.
It's almost like sports radio.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, you're just going all in.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
And then did you see Ovechkin get the record yesterday?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I saw the clip on it. Yeah, that's a cool deal.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Although Gretzky did play with wooden sticks, these guys all
play with these high grade aluminum and you know, metal sticks,
So I don't know, it might be something.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
They're putting an asterisk on that. Maybe maybe maybe, Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Look, they don't play with aluminum bats in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
No, they don't.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Why would they Why should he get the record if
they have aluminum sticks in hockey and the two line pass.
I don't want to go deep into hockey, but the
two line pass isn't around anymore. And there's a lot
of breakaways, there's over time with a goal now a
game used to end in a tie.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So you are putting a lot of asterisks so far
for four of them. Yeah, four big ones.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, I'm glad he's not number one in the Conway
record book.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
No, it's Wayne Gretzky. Okay, Yeah, and I love that
Wayne Gretzky and his brother.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Hey, I've got that too, Hank Aaron's the home run
king to me, Okay, all right, Harry Bond, Okay.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
Not Verry Bonds, because Barry Bonds was one hundred and
sixty five pounds when he started.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Then two years later he's like two eighty. Yeah, shoot
all on his head.
Speaker 6 (28:12):
But Wayne Gretzky and his brother, I think have a
record that may never be broken. It's most goals by
two brothers in the NHL. And when Wayne Gretzky's brother
had zero but he played seven games in the.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
NH Funny because Hank Aaron has the same record, the
same He had a brother, Tommy Aaron, who had thirteen
home runs. Ok so that was the best brother combination, right,
Well least he had a brother who at thirteen home runs.
Wayne Gretzky had a brother at zero goals. They put
him out there like, hey, this guy's not really quite
like his brother. Let's get him off the ice. That
was a wrap all right, Conway, come dog and.
Speaker 1 (28:48):

We're on from one until four after four o'clock. Get

or tonight or tomorrow at It's called John Cobelt Show
on Demand, all right, So download the thing and listen
to it. You're required to hear all three hours every day.
(00:22):
And there's no excuses.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
There are so.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Many crazy people, I mean really crazy people. I'm reading
a story in front of the La Times about the Dodgers.
Trump hosted them at the White House today, right. You
should see how many stupid comments from La Times readers
who are angry and upset that they went to see
Trump and they're never going to go to a game again,
(00:48):
and they're never going to support the Dodgers again. Good lord.
The Times even had an idiot. Sportswriter, Dylan Hernandez, wrote
a column last week insisting that there's no way the
Dodgers should go to Trump's White House because a majority
of the La County residents voted against them. It's like,
what a moron, what a vegetable. There's so much mental
(01:13):
illness out there, you know, speaking of mental illness. The
head of LASA quit just about five minutes after the
end of our show Friday, right after we threw her
in the dumpster. Details to come. She got defunded, she
got her mic cut off at the LA County supervisor's hearing,
(01:37):
and after they found there was two billion dollars unaccounted
for her in her budget, she's decided to get out
of town. I'd call lawyer if I were you, So
we'll have stuff on that later in the hour. Let's
go now to John Coopaul. He's the president of the
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. Because here's a new one City
(02:00):
Los Angeles Housing Department LAHD. I'd ever heard of this place.
You may be getting if you own a home in
LA you may be getting a letter demanding that you
pay thirty one dollars in five cents for a special
fee or get this, you have to explain why you
shouldn't have to pay it. It's called a just cause
enforcement fee. I don't particularly understand this. That's why John
(02:24):
Coopaul is going to come on and explain it, because
apparently a lot of you have gotten or may be
getting this stupid demand to pay them money. You always
got to pay a ransom, it seems John, you there.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
I am here. How are you doing, John.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I'm doing fine. What is this? I've never heard of it.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
It's just another silly attempt by the city of la
to shake down homeowners and try to secure revenue that
they are otherwise not entitled to. This is a this
just cause ordinance was passed following the fires, and it
(03:04):
was intended to prevent people from evicting tenants in the
hopes of raising their rents a type market. First of all,
number one, one can seriously question the sanity of that
thinking out of the box. But the problem is because
(03:25):
this just cause enforcement fee does not apply to any
property that's already subject to the rent Stabilization Ordinance that's
already known as rank control. It only applies to owners
of single family condominiums or accessory dwelling units that are
not subject to rank control. So why are they setting
(03:47):
this out? Well, the trigger for them is anybody who
has a manly address that differs from their property address
in the assessor's office. So they're assuming, well, you must
you renting, whether or not they're renting or not. And
in many cases, they are not. So what this city
does is they send up this very scary letter saying,
(04:09):
you know, you have to prove that you're not renting
your house.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Well, why do you do that.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
It's like proving a negative. They have to they have
to fill out a form. They have to fill out
a form that says, Okay.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I'm not renting, I'm not writing out my house.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
I'm renting out my house. But but you know, instead
of being first of all, instead of being an informational
letter saying, hey, by the way, if you have a
house and you're renting it, you are subject to this ordinance.
Please be advised that you're you're subject to this ordinance
and you've got to pay the thirty one dollars or whatever.
But instead they say just cause Ordinance Property Determination notice
(04:53):
and says failure to pay the fees by the dutate
will result an assessment of delinquent penalty fees and the
collection activity. Okay, it's the same scary crap.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Okay, So and so I have a house in the
in the city of la and I'm living in it,
but I don't have a separate mailing address, so I'm
not going to get this letter. But if I had
like a post office box address to collect my mail,
then I would get the letter and they'd ask me
to prove I wasn't renting out my.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
Own home, correct, correct, and they and they would provide
a form for you to fill out. But here's the thing.
It may be number one, it may be a minor
inconvenience that you wouldn't mind doing one time. Okay, I
got to I've been reading this. A lot of people
may look at that and say, look, I'm not going
to fill out the paperwork. I'll just pay the thirty
(05:43):
one dollars fee and forget about it. But the other
thing is, and this is the part that corks me,
is that you've got to reapply every year. Now to me, okay,
fill out the forum, get the exemption, and the exemption
will apply until you rent the property. But to make
(06:03):
homeowners who are not renting their property fill out the
same darn form every year, it's just again, what they're
trying to do is they're probably counting on a number hundreds,
if not thousands of homeowners just to throw in the towel.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
And people get confused when they read official government letters
that they don't understand and they'll pay the thirty one
dollars anyway, just in case, just to make sure that's right.
All right, Yeah, you talk about psychological manipulation. Send somebody
a frightening letter and they give you the thirty one
bucks when they don't understand it and they don't have
the time to call a government office to figure it
(06:43):
out anyway, that's what they count on.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Yeah, and keep in mind, this is on top of
all the property taxes, fees, charges and assessments. You're already
getting a lot of exactions from the city and it's
very hard to keep track of all of them, and
now you're getting this, which is a set put thing
on top of all of those. It's no wonder people
are extremely frustrated with the city.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
All right, Well, very good, John, I'm glad you came
on and explained this to people, and maybe we've helped
out some people who ordinarily would have forked over the
thirty one bucks.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Yeah, give them the satisfaction, fill out the fill out
the form, and then in the meantime we'll try we'll
try to do something to put pressure on that you
don't have to fill that out every year. But we'll
see we're gonna make some progress.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's Karen Bassters Los Angeles here. They've got they've got
funding for this department. They didn't have funding for the
fire department to keep all the homes from burning down.
All right, John, talk with you soon. Thanks, take care
of John bid all right. But Alicia Adams Kellum around
this time on Friday, we were tossing her into the
dumpster and uh, she hit the bottom of the dumpster
(07:50):
and immediately resigned. It looks like while she was inside
and she she had well, I mean, she got exposed
these audits that she lost track of billions of dollars.
Investigations from a media outlet a few months ago showed
she shoveled two million dollars to her husband's nonprofit. And
(08:11):
as you know, homelessness is not significantly better in any way,
no matter what they claim.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's a disaster.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
So she's done nothing but take an exorbited salary and
enrich your husband's nonprofit. And now she's gone, Bye bye.
We'll talk about her when we come back.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
You could follow us to John Cobelt Radio on social media.
There's we're less than five hundred followers away from twenty
five thousand at John Cobelt Radio to keep track of
everything that goes on here, all right, Valicia Adams Kellum,
that is one person, Va, Dalysia l e Cia Adams
(08:59):
and Kellum. One of those is her married names. So
this woman with four names was hired by her buddy
Karen Bass to run the Los Angeles Housing what's it CALTSLASSA.
What is the s for Services Services Authority? Right, Los
Angeles Housing Services Authority. And she got over four hundred
(09:23):
thousand dollars for this, way more than her last predecessor,
and she's completely screwed everything up. She lost track of
over two billion dollars. We have not one, but two
audits that say she lost track of a lot of money.
One was from the city controller, Kenneth Mahea, and then
(09:45):
the second, which proved to be the final blow, was
from the federal judge David o'carter. He got an outside
agency and outside accounting firm to do the audit and
found out that, you know, the money disappeared. They don't
know if any of it worked, They don't know exactly
what it was for two billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
I mean, I h.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
So she's obviously obviously terrible at her job. I mean,
she had a really bad year because her her husband
was given a two million dollar contract by LASA that
she signed. Her husband is one of the senior leaders
of Upward Bound House, Santa Monica based nonprofit's supposed to
(10:35):
get rid of homeless. Yeah, have you been to Santa Monica?
Do you believed the racket? Two million dollars goes from
the wife to the husband for a homeless nonprofit in
a town that has been ruined by homeless only in America.
(11:00):
Her husband's Edward Kellum, and she insisted that she followed
all the ethics rules, and you know, she reccused herself.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
She walled herself off.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
She had nothing to do because first, you know, it
was announced that Upward Poundhouse got the two million and say, hey, hey,
your husband works there.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I had nothing to do with it. I was recused.
I was walled off.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
And then last dot com that's a public radio news outlet.
They got the contracts and there's three contracts here, one
the main contract and two amendments, three separate documents, two
(11:49):
of them signed on March eleventh, one of them signed
on May eighteenth of last year, and at the top
it says four Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority. In other words,
the signature below is signing it on behalf of LASA,
and very clearly you could see her careful handwriting. Valicia
(12:11):
Adams Kellum, Valicia Adams Kellum, Valicia Adams Kellum. Three documents,
three signatures, they're all the same. And then it says
her name, doctor Valicia Adams Kellum. I don't know what
the doctor it's about, but you remember she showed up
at the LA County Supervisors meeting and announced she was
a former homeless person. And suddenly this all made sense
(12:33):
because if you put a former homeless person in charge
of a homeless agency, what do you think is going
to happen? Oh, they're gonna lose track of two billion
dollars and mysteriously their husband gets two million dollars in
a contract that she claims she never signed, except she did.
And on the bottom it's got another signature for upward
(12:57):
Bound House. It's signed by Christian Miracy Glasgow. Three names.
So clearly she was aware of it because she signed
all three contracts. And then she said well, I didn't
look at what I was signing. It was put on
(13:17):
my desk Mistakenly, she didn't recognize the name of her
husband's nonprofit company.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Really.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Last also found that Adam Kellams had a number of
interactions with Upward Boundhouse. She spoke with her husband's employer
last year regarding complaints made during public comments claiming failures
in Upward Boundhouse's performance. So there are people complaining about this,
(13:55):
and I'm not surprised considering the state of the homeless
in Santa Monica. And so she ended up talking with
upper Boundhouse. And the laws are pretty specific that you
can't have any participation whatsoever, according to Sean mc morris,
who runs the ethics program for California Common Cause, that's
the law. That's the law. She knowingly, willingly signed the
(14:18):
contract and then amazingly claimed what she wasn't looking. Now,
when we come back, we will talk about her resignation
days after the LA County Supervisors. By the way, it's
a four nothing vote with one abstention. Nobody tried to
(14:39):
save her ass, all right, nobody. Everybody apparently agrees she's
been a disaster. You know, some of these idiot politicians
are saying nicely nice things about her, but really it's
billions of dollars passed through her hands. And look out there,
you use your own eyes. We'll also play you a
clip from the supervisors meeting where she announced she was
(15:01):
formerly homeless. And two they cut her off. They didn't
even give her a formal speaking role at the meeting.
She had to stand in line with all the other
crazy people. They gave her an extra thirty seconds, and
then she overran that because she was desperately trying to
preserve her job, and then they just cut her off
and she still kept talking. It's a great clip. We
(15:23):
played it last week. But since she's resigned, you know,
let's let's dance on her bureaucratic grave.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Here you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI
A six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Why they're all phonies, every single one of them, right
to the bone. New York Post has a funny story
just they released a few minutes ago. You know, the
fighter for the working Class, Alexandria Acassia Cortez. She had
flown to Las Vegas from New York to go to
(15:59):
the Bernie Sanders rally fight the oligarchy.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Or some such nonsense.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Well she uh, she was photographed sitting in a very
comfy first class seat on Jet Blue. So miss miss
Socialist was going to mister socialists, uh fight the oligarchy rally,
and uh there she is, first class window seat, very roomy,
(16:30):
very comfy. At least she didn't fly private, right, No, no,
she didn't fly, but she's all she is on a plane.
She's also always squealing about climate change. But she's got
a nice first class seat on an expensive jet and
she would fly private if she could. I you know,
it's easy to fool people, really easy.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
All right.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Uh oh speaking easy to fool people, Felicia Adams Kellum, Well,
she's had a bad year.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
She had in recent months. She had one audit.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Come from the La City Controller, Kenneth Mohea, who said, hey,
we we can't track billions of dollars. And then we
had a second audit from the federal judge David o'carter.
He hired an agency, Hey we can't find billions of dollars.
Then we found out she gave away two million dollars
to her husband at his nonprofit and they lied about it.
(17:30):
They found her signatures all over three different contracts, and finally,
after the federal judge audit, the La County Supervisors held
a meeting and they defunded her. They took away three
hundred and fifty million dollars that was their share of
funding LASSAP. She was very upset and wanted to speak well,
(17:54):
they didn't give her a speaking role at the hearing.
They relegated her to standing in line, and twice she
ran over time. We've edited the two segments together.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
She was sixty.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Then they let her do another thirty and then she
went overtime. Anyway, anyway, listen to this woman scrambling to
save her four hundred thousand dollars plus job that she's
really bad at.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
I am the CEO of LASA, and there's been a
lot of negative things said about LASA today. As was
said in the motion when it first released, it indicated
that much of the look back audits did not cover
the time of my leadership. But when I came on
and I met with each of you, I took on
the responsibility of the many years twenty plus years of
(18:41):
system failure, particularly at LASA. But I made promises. One
would be a reduction in unsheltered homelessness, which we've seen
now two years in a row. To enhance transparency, I
promised that we would improve our operations and we have.
We've implemented twenty new data dashboards that provide unprecedented insight
into how our system functions. The questions you had about
(19:04):
functions and system improvements. We can actually provide that data
to you today and it is on our public website
and it's public facing. Contracting were at eighty percent.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Next speaker, please.
Speaker 6 (19:20):
Can we give her, given the fact that she is
over lost, I'd like to give her an initial thirty
seconds to finish up.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
To improve provider payments, we work with all of you
to ensure that we would have advanced systems where we
would reconcile tiling no longer.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Waiting months and months, blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (19:37):
We've made a lot of the changes that you proposed,
and the oversight and KPIs that we have helped make
available to EKRA is made possible by the tremendous people
that join me.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
At LASA just a year a chow.
Speaker 5 (19:50):
As I said before, this work is very personal to me.
Me and my daughter's experienced homelessness.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
You know what it's like, thank you got cut off. Listen,
she keeps babbling.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
And I hope that you will be engaging to cut
off her mic.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Somebody said thank you, But the lady likes her life.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Four hundred thousand dollars a lot of travel.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Remember when she was supposed to up here before Judge Carter,
they found her in Boston speaking at Harvard.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Speaking at Harvard. Why speaker, please shut up, lady, That's
what they were saying.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Well, we played that on Friday and then threw her
in the dumpster into into the garbage dumpster. The Ukrainians
picked her up, hurled her right to the bottom, never
spit all over her, and then minutes later she resigned.
I guess that was the final humiliation. I don't think
we've ever had anybody quit that quickly after being tossed
(20:48):
into the dumpster. Yes, the dumpster was being carted off
by iHeartMedia maintenance, and you heard her yelling and banging inside,
and somewhere in there she announced her resignation. And what's
funny is you've got all these political hacks who've dug
(21:09):
our collective grave here for all these years, and they
come out and after she resigns. The praiser Wendy Gruhle,
who was so bad as a candidate she actually lost
to Eric Arcetti for mayor. And she said that we
brought Adams Kellum in to be a change agent, and
she's been a change agent.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, she lost track of two billion dollars. That's that's
really good. Oh and they keep bragging about the homelessness
is down five percent. You know, when you have seventy
five thousand people in the streets, nobody's going to notice
your five percent, if that's even true. One supervisor told
more of the truth, Lindsey Horvath. She said, this is
(21:51):
a pivotal moment. We have to replace this broken system,
one that costs for log overdue change. Wait, I thought
she was a change agent. Loss has seen multiple leadership transitions.
While change is uncomfortable for some, this is what the
moment requires. Karen Bass, she's the one who she was
the one who hired Adams Callimer recommended her because she's
(22:13):
a buddy, said she had bold vision. Despite knowing that
LASSA was broken, she answered the call of service to
service CEO, Why is it broken all the time? We've
given billions of dollars and all we hear now from
these people is it's broken. And some of these people
would tell us two years ago, four years ago, six
years ago, eight years ago that you know, we're riding
(22:33):
the ship and the homeless bodies piled up all over
the place. And I mentioned this before, and I'm going
to publicly keep on this, although I think Tracy Park
is going to help out my counsel woman. I got
a homeless guy living on Santa Centi Boulevard that I
pass every day who chased after my wife and I.
We were in a car and because we stopped and
(22:54):
took a photo of him, he got a wooden pole
or a pipe or something and down the street screaming.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
And he's a known lunatic mental patient. He's violent.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I haven't been able to get him, to get him out,
nobody has. Lots of people are calling and complaining and
then told the police and everything.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's like it's broken. You have to force people.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
You have to force people into mental health treatment or
drug treatment. Force even if you have a cop and
he's got to pull a gun out. It's like you're
going to mental health treatment now, or you're under arrest
and you're going to jail. That's what you have to do.
(23:44):
None of the civil rights nonsense. No civil rights for
people who are living in the streets, urinating, defecating, injecting drugs,
snorting drugs, screaming, yelling, threatening, chasing people with sticks and pipes.
No rights. You don't have civil rights to do that anyway.
Supreme Court said, so, enough is enough, zero tolerance, No
(24:09):
more crazy people in the streets, No more drug addicts
in the streets.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
No.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
No.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Felicia Adams Kellum, what a shock. She made way more
than her predecessor. And then she gives her husband a
two million dollar contract. I'm telling you this is all
a money laundering operation. Then she comes up with phony
numbers saying, well, you know it's down five percent in
the county.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Yeah, nobody noticed, va Licia.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
So since we put a homeless person in charge of
LASA and it didn't work out, what's next. Are we
gonna have a felon? How about a former homeless? How
about a formerly homeless felon like somebody actually from somebody
who's we've got a life sentence. Maybe, why do we
(25:03):
put him in charge of LASSU? Could it be any worse?
Speaker 4 (25:07):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And the two o'clock hour.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Tomorrow, we're gonna have the USC professor Michael Missche on.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Michael msche.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Just did a study to see why California gas prices
have been so high for the last fifty years. Fifty
years in fact, let's see what what is it right?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
What is it right now?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yes, you know, in the state of Mississippi, gas is
two dollars and seventy five cents. Here in California it's
four ninety five. It's two dollars and twenty cents higher
than the state of Mississippi. And Mississippi is not that
much of an outlier because Oklahoma and Tennessee, Louisiana, South Carolina,
(25:59):
Texas is, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Kansas, New Hampshire, Missouri, North Carolina,
Massachusetts all under three bucks. In fact, there's about forty
three states under under three point thirty the low three
dollars and thirty cents. And you've always heard newsom lying
about being gadged by all companies. Well, the USC Professor
(26:20):
Michael mcche says the cause of high gas prices for
over fifty years, has been politicians and state bureaucrats. We
will talk to Michael McShane the two o'clock hour to
march here on the show, and Conway is here.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Excellent, Thank you very much.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Nathan Hofckman is having a press conference at four o'clock.
We'll talk with Michael Monks and we'll recap that at
four twenty. Then David Vatsea was in the White House
today with the LA Dodgers. That was pretty exciting. We'll
talk to him at four thirty five. Will Coleshrivers flying
high over the championship game Florida versus Houston. We'll chat
(27:00):
with him, and then Bob Miller, the voice of the Kings.
It's almost like sports radio.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, you're just going all in.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
And then did you see Ovechkin get the record yesterday?
Speaker 1 (27:10):
I saw the clip on it. Yeah, that's a cool deal.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Although Gretzky did play with wooden sticks, these guys all
play with these high grade aluminum and you know, metal sticks,
So I don't know, it might be something.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
They're putting an asterisk on that. Maybe maybe maybe, Yeah,
I mean.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Look, they don't play with aluminum bats in Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
No, they don't.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
Why would they Why should he get the record if
they have aluminum sticks in hockey and the two line pass.
I don't want to go deep into hockey, but the
two line pass isn't around anymore. And there's a lot
of breakaways, there's over time with a goal now a
game used to end in a tie.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So you are putting a lot of asterisks so far
for four of them. Yeah, four big ones.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Yeah, I'm glad he's not number one in the Conway
record book.
Speaker 6 (27:56):
No, it's Wayne Gretzky. Okay, Yeah, and I love that
Wayne Gretzky and his brother.
