I Am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt

after four o'clock. If you miss any part of the program,
remember you can listen to John Cobelt Show on demand
the podcast on the iHeart app after four o'clock. I
(00:25):
was driving home yesterday when the news was breaking out
of New York City of the shooting at this Park
Avenue office building where there's a lot of major companies headquartered,
including the NFL, which turned out to be, if you
believe the gunman's note, the target of the shooting. He
(00:48):
didn't quite get to the offices, ended up on the
wrong floor, but along the way he did shoot one
NFL employee. And this is Shane Tomorrow formerly when he
was younger, lived in Santa Clarita and in went to
school in Granada Hills and was a pretty good football
player at the high school in Granada Hills. And in fact,
(01:11):
we have a brief interview we're going to play next
segment that he gave to the LA Daily News to
a sports writer after he'd had a good game and
he was talking to reporters. We'll get to that, but
first to kind of stitch together all the details, which
driving home, you woudn't believe how much bad information I
(01:31):
heard from CNN and Fox News. Good Lord, early reports
in the first hour one of these shootings or any
kind of disaster or usually just flat out wrong. But
Alex Stone, he's always right. So you tell us, and
I mean to, you know, to the credit of those
who are covering, and a lot of times even police
(01:53):
have the wrong information early on. Is that they're trying
to figure out what it is as well as it's
all very fluid. But it's all coming much more into
clarity now that today police in New York and in
Las Vegas they're working to put all of this together
and the timeline on all of it that we know. Yeah,
he grew up in Santa Clarita and in Granada Hills.
(02:14):
He has a product of southern California. But then at
some point years ago he moved to Las Vegas, and
that he left his home in Vegas, drove through Colorado
on July twenty sixth, last Saturday, and then went through
Nebraska and Iowa and then entered New York City on
Monday afternoon and a short time later then arrived at
three forty five Park Avenue, a forty four story building.
(02:38):
Number of different companies in that building and organizations and
began firing. And that suicide note that you talked about.
It appears that he believed he had CTE from playing
high school football in southern California and was targeting the
NFL headquarters in Manhattan because of that. But the elevator
didn't take him to the NFL. He got in the
(02:59):
wrong elevator. It took him to the thirty third floor
and he began shooting that floor after he already shot
at the lobby, and then continued on on the thirty
third floor. This man was inside as it was all
unfolded from the bill and news TOCB were running, That's
what it was. People inside the building were saying they
heard someone, They thought someone fell down the stairs, and
then they realized I was just stared with someone shooting
(03:22):
a gun. Among those killed was a New York City
police officer, along with a woman named Wesley Patner, an
employee of Blackstone, an investment firm. She was a wife
and a mom of two. He had an AR fifteen
style rifle, which the NYPD is now in their trip
to Vegas going to try to trace to figure out
it appears that somebody sold them the parts the accessories
(03:43):
for that. They want to talk to that person and
he had that note blaming CTE and documented mental health
background in Las Vegas, and the NYPD saying.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
According to our law enforcement partners in Las Vegas, mister
Timora has a documented mental health history.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And John the mayor is saying it was really eery
watching surveillance video that they have not publicly put out
of a woman who got out of that elevator that
he got into and hellowed her to walk off like
normal after he shot people in the lobby and then
went to kill more on the thirty third floor. But
he allowed her to live for whatever reason, and she
got out and he allowed her out, and then he
went up into the elevator and went up from there.
(04:19):
Jessica Chen, she was trapped in the building hiding from
the shooter, texting her her family members chair that I
love them. I tested people good in my life, that
I love them. We were honestly really really scared. The
shooter was a casino employee in Las Vegas. He had
two mental health crisis It now looks like they may
(04:40):
not have actually been holds, but interactions with the LVMPD
in his background over the last couple of years. But
it's unclear how he got the guns. Based on his
mental health background and the concealed carry permit in Las Vegas.
We know that he also had permits to be a
security guard in Southern California in LA and he had
security guard license in Nevada as well, So a lot
(05:03):
they've got to figure out. They don't think that he
actually had CTE, but apparently he believed he did. Today
there are bullet holes in the NFL Crest in the
lobby of that building. But his note said study my brain.
I am sorry. So the focus of this is now
moving to Las Vegas to figure out what led up
to him getting in his car and then driving to
(05:24):
New York and nobody noticed or stopped him carrying that rifle.
Is walking on Park Avenue, I mean there's a photo
of him walking through a pedestrian plaza and this is
at you know, six or forty in the evening, So
there must have been a well, I mean, that's in
a very busy section of midtown Manhattan. Yeah, how did
(05:46):
nobody notice that huge weapon that he was carrying around?
You know, it seems like there was just at a
speed of doing it. He double parked his BMW and
got out, leaving it in the street, and walked up
that plaza. In the plaza when you see the video,
it is it's empty, there's nobody around, there's people out
on the sidewalk, but where he's walking through, and it
seems nobody realized what he was caring because there were
(06:06):
no as far as we know, there were no emergency
nine one one calls seeing somebody with a gun before
he went in there, and nobody tried to stop him
in that moment. So you know, it seems like people
were going about their business. They had AirPods in, they
were talking to her, that's what they yeah, walking down
the sidewalk and it would have been a bit of
a distance based on on where he was in that plaza,
(06:28):
but nobody realized he was carrying a long gun. But
would it have made a difference. The NYP probably couldn't
have gotten there in that amount of time anyway, from
getting out of his BMW to walking into that lobby.
But it doesn't seem anybody noticed, all right, Alex Stone,
thank you very much. ABC News. Here on KFI. The
NFL employee who who was struck by a bullet was
(06:52):
down in the lobby, Craig Clemente, and he was trying
to call his coworkers saying that this guy was coming,
not even knowing that the guy really was headed for
the NFL headquarters. He worked in the NFL's finance department, Clente,
and he was calling the other employees and said avoid
(07:15):
the building, escape and he got a bullet in the back,
and they think the bullet ricocheted before striking him. And
his wife just had a new baby. And you know,
it's terrible as the police officer who was killed was
working on his off day as security at the building,
(07:36):
and they have a program for NYPD where officers are
allowed to work on their off days and provide security,
and so that's what he was doing. And he's got
a wife who's having a baby in a few months
as well. So this is just awful, awful tragedy. But
what's stuck in my mind because they started publishing the
(07:56):
photos pretty quickly as soon as I got home. Is
that's a big gun. I mean, you saw it, right.
I thought.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I could not believe that he was just walking down
the street with that, with that weapon, and that nobody
noticed or did anything.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It's got to be screen staring. It's crazy, it has
to be. I mean, I read a piece that in
New York City this morning. You know, things were back
to normal business people walking looking at their phones with
their earphones on, so you don't see anything, you don't
hear anything. Everybody's in their own protective bubble, scrolling Instagram
(08:32):
messages or texts or something and listening to whatever on
their headphones. But I've never seen such a such a blatant,
large weapon being carried through a busy public area like that.
I mean, it's just it's incredible because all you needed
was one guy, one guy, you know, to to tackle him.
(08:56):
You tackle him, divert him in some way, scream, make
a ruckus. You know, it's it's shocking. I didn't think that.
In fact, you know, you would. You would think he'd
be worried that somebody would see him. Right, he was
casually she at least, you know, holding under a trench
coat or have it in some kind of a case. Right,
(09:18):
you want to sneak into the building, you want to
sneak No, there was no sneaking. It's like, look, I'm
about to shoot up a whole load of people. You've
seen this thing. And he's walking very coolly and calmly.
We'll see if he really is suffering from CTE. I mean,
just because he says so, you know, he may have
a bad mental illness and he's delusional and he thinks
he's got CTE or he's trying to blame it on that.
(09:40):
Because you don't know you have it. They cannot diagnose
it until you're already dead, and they do a they
carve up your brain and then they look to see
you at the cell damage. He just may have been insane.
Are we We're gonna play when we come back, a
clip of him when he was a running back at
Granada Hills Charter High School back in twenty fifteen, Shane
(10:02):
Tamera and he was getting interviewed with a LA Daily
News sports writer, and there's a video of that interview
about about a minute and a half. We'll play it
for you.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Moistline for Friday. You better call eight seven seven Moist
daty six eight seven seven Moist D eighty six or
use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Oh, it's
already been posted. I'm appearing once again on my wife's
video podcast on YouTube and it's called Debort Cobelt Live.
So if you go to Debort cobelt Live on YouTube,
(10:43):
the latest episode is me and it's already been posted,
so you could watch it there. And we just talk
about the big news of the last week or so.
All Right, this shooting the office building of New York
City where the NFL officers were, among other big corporations
(11:03):
had their headquarters there. But this this guy, according to
his own note, was going after the NFL. Uh for
for a long time. For a long time. NFL athletes, uh,
some of them were suffering in later life with something
called CTE. It's a long name, it's a it's a
degenerative disease. And boxers get it, football players get it sometimes, hockey,
(11:29):
rugby players. If you get your head, your head hit
often enough, if you have enough concussions, then over time
the brain degrades and often you start going crazy. Symptoms
including impulsive behavior, depression, suicidal thoughts. You just you have
(11:52):
a lot of cognitive problems and sometimes you get really violent.
And I've just read many stories about and some famous
players suffering later in life. Sometimes it hits you early
in your thirties and forties, sometimes it hits you later.
It depends on the number of concussions, the severity, and
guys used to play through concussions all the time and tomorrow,
(12:17):
I guess, at least in his telling, I haven't seen
anybody like corroborate any of this, but in his telling
he suffered CTE from all the dangers. Now he also
could have some crazy schizophrenic mental illness too, separately, or
n CTE or just the crazy mental illness. It's impossible
(12:41):
to know, like I said, until they do the autopsy.
But he was a good player. He was a start
running back for Granada Hills Charter School. And this clip
is from September eighteenth, twenty fifteen. LA Daily News sports
writer Jack Pollin was interviewing him and they shot video
of it.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And listen to this, Hey, we're here a standout running back,
Shane Tamia from the Granada Hills football team big thirty
five thirty one victory against Kennedy tonight, the battle for
Granada Hills. Shane, just talk about you guys getting that
win tonight. How'd you guys come through?
Speaker 5 (13:16):
We definitely had to stay disciplined. We were down ten zero,
and we definitely had to stay disciplined. Our cooks kept saying,
don't hold your head down, don't hold your hands to average.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I just had to stay disciplined coming.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Together as a team. Shane. A couple of touchdowns for you,
including a huge one late in the game there in
the fourth quarter with under four minutes to go that
put you guys up thirty five to twenty four. Sort
of sealed the game there for you guys. Gave you
guys a nice cushion. Take us through that play right there,
jail break screen right there. Then you broke free about
(13:47):
the fifty yard line and then took it to the house.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Well, our coach basically asked me. He was like, Shane,
is the tea screen open? Is the tea screen open?
I was like, yeah, it's definitely open. So we just
through the past to meet, or he through the past
to meet. And one thing, Lance to another and I scored.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Shane talk about you mentioned you guys were down ten
to nothing early hole. Uh, you know, things could have
got out of control possibly.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know, how did.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You guys pick yourself up off the floor after the
early ten oh deficit.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Definitely definitely had to stay disciplined. Our coaches kattanas, don't
hold your heads down. It's just it's just the first
hat or it's actually just the first quarter. We just
had to keep playing, keep flying through it, and just
hold her head up high and then a good results going.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
To come at all. Something definitely happened to him. I mean,
whether it was caused by blows to the head playing
football or some other mental disorder or schizophrenia. That just
doesn't sound He doesn't sound like like a bad guy.
He doesn't sound like somebody who's going to go on
a shooting spring. And that's that's what friends and neighbors
(14:49):
are saying. Mason Thomas said he played high school football
with Tamera in Grenada Hills. According to New York Times,
said it was mind blowing to see an old high
school team in the news for this kind of shooting.
He remembered Tamura as funny, popular, and agreeable and a
standout running back. There was nothing from the little I
(15:10):
knew about him that would have indicated anything like this.
Never any issues I can remember. He never had issues
with anybody. Debbie Hatfield was a neighbor in Santa Clarita.
They were neighbors for over ten years. Remember Shane and
his brother playing with her children, went to elementary school
with her daughter. They were typical kids. She remembers Shane
(15:31):
as just a little kid following his older brother around.
It's really shocking, but in Las Vegas he ended up
with run ins police had to be called mental health problems.
Somehow he got even with the mental health problems, he
got a gun and now they're looking for an associate
(15:53):
who might have provided him with some of the parts
to the gun. It's called an M four. It's an
AR fifteen style gun. But it's it's it's big.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
He got a work card to be either a security
guard private investigator. Uh. And but the work card didn't
authorize you to carry a firearm, according to the New
York Times. And Uh, there's also a story about uh
about the CTE. He would not be the first football
(16:30):
player to turn to violence or die by suicide. Andre Waters,
Dave Durrison, Junior Soo, and other football players have killed
themselves with guns. Durerson, and che Sal shot themselves in
the chest so their brains could be studied, and Durrison,
like Shane Timora, left a note asking for the brain
(16:54):
to be studied. They also think Aaron Hernandez, who killed
an equation and killed himself in prison after the fact,
he was diagnosed with a severe form of CTE. Philip Adams,
a former NFL cornerback who'd gone back to his hometown
in South Carolina, shot and killed five people and died
(17:15):
by suicide, couldn't find work after his football career fizzled out,
and he'd become increasingly erratic in his behavior. They have
not been able to develop a test for CTE, and
they're trying to find ways of identifying a certain protein
without requiring brain samples. Samples in the protein seems to
(17:37):
be a marker for the disease. All right, when we
come back, you want to talk about your the criminal incident.
Sure not that you were involved in it?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
No, I wasn't involved. I was an innocent bystander.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
No, but a bad guy in Debora's neighborhood. Yesterday I
talked about the crazy woman in front of the Whole
Foods who is defecating on the sidewalk, and you had
the crazy person people, crazy people. Yeah, it's quite a story.
So we'll talk about all this as well. And also
(18:17):
I talked yesterday at length about what's really going on,
and I got some more evidence of what's really going
on behind the scenes. Why the city doesn't do anything
about it, why the state doesn't do anything about it.
There's there's one overwhelming specific reason. And let me let me,
(18:37):
let me tell you you have got to change the mayor.
You have got to in Los Angeles. Tell you all
about it. We come back.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Right every day from one until four o'clock. After four
o'clock John cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast, and
you listen to that in case you missed something. So
over the weekend, we were going to talk about this yesterday,
but Debor had the day off. Devor's neighborhood buzzing with police.
(19:14):
Did you get the helicopter treatment.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
The helicopter was so close to my house that we
thought that it was going to crash. We into our house.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
We got the helicopter treatment the week before with that
murder in front of the Whole Foods, right, and then
they then they caught the murder a couple of days
later down the block at Katsuya. But you got the
he I mean, it came really close that close to here,
and I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Our house was shaking, the dogs were freaked out. Couldn't
believe how close it got. I mean, really really close.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
What happened because this happened in two parts.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yes, two parts. So early in the in the day,
we have that helicopter and then we see a police cruiser.
So I'm looking out my window because we are up
on a hill, so I'm looking down and I also
see a police cruiser literally down the street. So the
helicopter police guy was saying something on a loudspeaker. I
couldn't hear. But our neighbor told my husband that he said,
(20:10):
burglary in progress. Stay in your homes, which makes sense,
right because what else could it be?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And you ran to the handbag closet.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I don't have a handbag closet anyway, No, I wish
no no, I do not. I don't live on the
West Side like your people.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
John, I don't have a hilltop mansion. Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Anyway, So finally the helicopter all of a sudden, it
was crazy, just flies away. So we don't know what's
going on. So a couple of that, maybe four hours later,
we see a swarm of police police officers. Thank you
LAPD because there was probably eight or nine LAPD cops
(20:55):
or cars that showed up and another helicopter in a
different part of my neighborhood. And that one apparently was
three guys broke into somebody's house, stole a safe, a
lot of money, and crashed. It was a black I
think probably a stolen Mercedes, crashed into a Tesla car.
The Tesla car was recording video, and those guys got away.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
They got away.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
They got away, So they're wandering around, you know, I'm
sure they're going to go hit some other house in
the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
So nine police cars showed up and they got away.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yes, and so people are asking, including myself, well, how
could they have gotten away? You had nine police cars.
Well this is what somebody said on we have this
group chat started when the fires broke out that what
these people do is they have a getaway car that's
kind of close by, and so they the guys jumped
(21:50):
out of the black Mercedes and probably jumped into the
getaway car and no one saw that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Car and they got away. Well, they show up usually
a defensive cars.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Well they try and trick you.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Like when when they went to the Real Reel in
Santa Monica just a few days ago, because my wife's
friend got video of this, there were like five luxury cars,
late models, and they they and they jump out and
they they ransacked the store and then they go piling in.
But it's always good cars. They kind of fit in
(22:23):
with the neighborhood. They fit in with the stores.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Because you see those expensive cars and you don't think anything.
Oh yeah, of course, yeah, they're they're part of the landscape. Yeah,
of course, you know. But if they were in a
dumpy car in your neighborhood, for sure, you would be suspicious.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
So these guys are caught on video from the Tesla cameras. Yeah,
what are the Tesla cameras constantly recording what goes on?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I don't I do not I don't know that should
that should help get them, get them caught soon.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
You you would, you would hope. But this is obviously
that I'm assuming I should say, obviously these are the
same groups that are hitting the homes and Encino and
all the other areas. I mean, they're wearing the black hoodies.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And the pass. You're not far from Encino. No. I
wonder if it was the same crew that robbed the
other house that you got the warning on, and.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
You know, that's what I thought that maybe because that one,
I don't think. I again, there wasn't any information on
that one. So this is just me hypothesizing that they
tried to break in and for whatever reason they got caught.
They couldn't. So then they came back in the same
area and they found another house where they were successful.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh, they easily could have been your house.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yes, although you don't want to break into my house
because uh, you just don't.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Okay, I wouldn't want to take you on.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
But you know what's crazy That one happened to think
it's seven o'clock at night. The other one happened during
the day. These criminals do not care people are home.
Back in the day, you had one bad guy, right
breaking into a house when they figure that no one
was home. Now, these people, they don't care.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
If you're home and they know they're being video recorded,
they don't care. And they know there's alarms going off,
and it doesn't matter to them. I mean, they'll they'll
snip your power so the alarm doesn't go off. They'll
jam your internet, yeah, and so the ring camera doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Yeah, or they put cameras somewhere where they can see
your comings and goings so they can tell it's something
needs to be done about this. Again, I'm just going
to say that the homeless situation and the crime situation
in la are ridiculous and I don't understand why this
(24:42):
is being allowed.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
They don't care. Care best in the city council doesn't care.
I mean, that's the simple answer. If they did, it
wouldn't exist. Most cities and towns don't have this going on.
We do. We got a special breed of progressive and
they think police are the oppressors, and we're oppressors because
(25:09):
we have jobs, we own homes, we own cars. We're
the oppressors. The criminals, the robbers, and the homeless people
they're the oppressed. And so Karen Bass and the City
Council for the most part, a few exceptions stand with
the oppressed against us the oppressors. I don't know how
long it'll take before people get that I'm telling you
(25:30):
the truth. That's really what they believe. That's there. It's
more than a political philosophy, it's more than an ideology.
It's like a religious belief they have. And so you
and I have no chance because we work for a living.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Well, it's unfair. It's just I mean, seriously, I'm going
to stand by what I said on the air last
week that the money for the Olympics the World Cup
should be taken away from Los Angeles until Los Angeles
cleans up its act with the homeless and the crime,
because I think that if that was on the table,
I think things would miraculously change.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, I know, if like the Olympic committee said, you
clean this up, and you clean this up within you know,
three months, or the world's not coming here to see
all this disgusting filth in the streets and all the
mental patients and drug addicts and all the thieves, because
the thieves are going to be showing up to rob everybody,
(26:26):
you know, at all the hotels or the airbnbs, they'll
know there's a lot of money that's coming to town.
We come back. I have a secret source somewhere deep
within the bowels of government, and I'll relay some of
the information I've learned about why it's as bad as
(26:47):
it is. Is it going to get fixed? No, it's
not getting fixed. It can get fixed overnight if we
elect different people, but that's not going to happen since
the majority of people who live in the city and
county and state will not elect different people. But it
just explains what's going on. I'll tell you about that next.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
John Cobelt Show. I Am six forty more stimulating a
talk radio. Oh I'm on my wife's video podcast again,

Debora Cobelt Live on YouTube. All right, we're just talking about.
You know, I'm dealing. I'm gonna get in case I
haven't heard, Here's what in my life that I'm aware of.
Like in the last ten days, what's gone on. We
had the murder of a homeless person in front of
(27:58):
the Whole Foods not far from my home. And then
two days later the guy who did the stabbing, the
murderer was picked up at a restaurant a little bit
down the block. Then told you this. Yesterday a woman
showed up in front of the Whole Foods, dropped her
pants and her thong and uh defecated on the sidewalk
(28:25):
and walked away with toilet paper hanging out, hanging out
of her thong. Then my wife went to the nail salon,
same same street. Homeless people come barge again, ruckus. They
had to be shoved out door, had to be locked.
Then after the nail salon, she goes to the hair salon.
We're going to a wedding that weekend. Same thing. Crazy
(28:48):
homeless people barge in, have to be shoved, out door locked.
My wist friend across the street pumping gas sees the
real reel. Uh get that that's a that's a handbag place.
I guess they sell other things too, I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, it's it's a used handbags, clothing, shoes, belts.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Whatever, expensive stuff. Yes, that got robbed by guys in
five luxury cars. It is on the last ten days.
So I was talking to somebody have secret sources in government.
It's like, you know what is going on? And one
of the answers I got is what the homeless people
(29:32):
you see on the street. And you might have a
you might have a council person who's trying to get
them out of the neighborhood. Some of them do, some
of them don't. But what you do have on the
street are the hard care drug addicts and the mental
patients and people who just refuse to go. And nobody
(29:52):
has the legal tools to force the addicts into treatment,
or the mental patients into the hospitals, or the criminal
into jail. So we've hit a wall here. The people
you see that you're scared the most of are the
people that Karen Bass absolutely refuses to put away. Now,
(30:15):
in the last year, what's happened. You had that Supreme
Court decision which I think was a year ago, which
said that nobody in the United States has the right
to sleep in a public place, not on a street, sidewalk,
public park, or anything. That every town can remove every
homeless person off off a public site, no violation of
(30:38):
the constitutional rights. You had Gavin Newsom come out and
demand that every city get the homeless off the streets,
or he's cutting funding. He's good at talking. There's been
no follow through. Trump the other day issued an executive
order everybody off the streets, or he's going to cut
(31:01):
federal funding, which may cause havoc for these homeless, for
the homeless industry. Point being is the Supreme Court has
weighed in and said everybody should be should be gone.
The President has said everybody should be gone. The governor
said everyone should be gone. Who's the one person who
hasn't said that. The mayor of Los Angeles. She refuses,
(31:28):
She doesn't even talk about it. She just goes quiet
and waits for all the news coverage to just blow
over pass by. What limited news coverage there is because
the progressive jackasses who run the media in LA have
zero interest in criticizing her and zero interest in doing
(31:55):
any stories that put pressure on her. You know, they'll
cover the sensational stories right, because that's a good in
the moment eyeball grab. But there's no sustained pressure to
get her to do her job properly. Same thing with
the city council, and so there's absolutely nothing anyone can
(32:19):
do unless Karen Bass changes her woke progressive cast her
inspired policy progressives. Again, I'm gonna keep saying this. They
believe that the criminals and the mental patients and the
drug addicts are the oppressed, and that you and I
(32:42):
and Deborah, all of us, we're the oppress ors. We
do not have a right to walk on a clean
street and feel safe from criminal attack. We don't have
a right to walk on a street that doesn't have garbage, feces, needles.
(33:04):
We don't have the right to walk on a street
that doesn't have people who are screaming at us, chasing us,
terrorizing us. They don't believe we do. That's a privilege.
We're not entitled to that privilege. You see, having a
safe neighborhood is a privilege that they don't want to
(33:26):
give us.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
But they live in safe neighborhoods. They wouldn't tolerate this.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yes, hypocrisy is high up on their list of attributes.
You know, it's like John Carey warning the world about
climate change and he flies around in private planes.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I'm saying that the politicians that want the affordable housing
or the low income apartment buildings, that they should be
built right next door to them, and that they should
allow homeless camps to be set up right there, or
homeless shelters should be right there. And if they're happy
with that, and they're okay with that, well I still
(34:05):
don't want that, but let them let them experience that.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, well, there's only one thing to do is to
get rid of them. Karen Bass needs to be getting
rid of replaced. You have to put in a different mare.
Otherwise we'll have this exact same conversation, not just next year,
but maybe you know, five and a half years from now,
(34:30):
we're going to be talking about the same thing. She
refuses to. She's a woke progressive. She's not interested in
doing something for the privileged folks. We're the oppressors. She's
not helping the oppressors. She's helping the oppressed. When we
come back in Venice, dog owners are scared. Six healthy
(34:53):
dogs suddenly got sick and died. This all happened in
the last three weeks. There's ten other dogs are also
very sick. One's in intensive care and they're trying to
figure out what are these dogs ingesting when they go
on their walls.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
So terrifying because dogs will put anything in their mouths.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, and uh, it's it's actually heartbreaking stories. They have
warning warning posters all over the neighborhoods in Venice. It's
in the Venice Canal area. We'll tell you about these
stories coming out. And if you're in Venice, keep your
dog inside, let him poop in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
It's bring him over to John's house.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
That's right. We have a poop room in our house.
I know you. It works well.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Train your dog not to poop in the house.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
It's it's it's not that it's I can't train him
not to attack other dogs in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
But you have a backyard.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh, we want him out in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, so he should be pooping in the backyard, not
in the poop room in your house.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
There's coyotes and uh, what's the other there's another threat
there other coyotes all over the bobcat no, not bobcats, hawks,
redtailed hawks. They swoop down and they eat cats and dogs.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Okay, so you never let him out.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
He goes very quietly to his little room. He's his
own bathroom, is what it is. He does. I've heard everything.
Now the Pope does with the Pope wants. That's right, Hope.

(00:25):
was driving home yesterday when the news was breaking out
of New York City of the shooting at this Park
Avenue office building where there's a lot of major companies headquartered,
including the NFL, which turned out to be, if you
believe the gunman's note, the target of the shooting. He
(00:48):
didn't quite get to the offices, ended up on the
wrong floor, but along the way he did shoot one
NFL employee. And this is Shane Tomorrow formerly when he
was younger, lived in Santa Clarita and in went to
school in Granada Hills and was a pretty good football
player at the high school in Granada Hills. And in fact,
(01:11):
we have a brief interview we're going to play next
segment that he gave to the LA Daily News to
a sports writer after he'd had a good game and
he was talking to reporters. We'll get to that, but
first to kind of stitch together all the details, which
driving home, you woudn't believe how much bad information I
(01:31):
heard from CNN and Fox News. Good Lord, early reports
in the first hour one of these shootings or any
kind of disaster or usually just flat out wrong. But
Alex Stone, he's always right. So you tell us, and
I mean to, you know, to the credit of those
who are covering, and a lot of times even police
(01:53):
have the wrong information early on. Is that they're trying
to figure out what it is as well as it's
all very fluid. But it's all coming much more into
clarity now that today police in New York and in
Las Vegas they're working to put all of this together
and the timeline on all of it that we know. Yeah,
he grew up in Santa Clarita and in Granada Hills.
(02:14):
He has a product of southern California. But then at
some point years ago he moved to Las Vegas, and
that he left his home in Vegas, drove through Colorado
on July twenty sixth, last Saturday, and then went through
Nebraska and Iowa and then entered New York City on
Monday afternoon and a short time later then arrived at
three forty five Park Avenue, a forty four story building.
(02:38):
Number of different companies in that building and organizations and
began firing. And that suicide note that you talked about.
It appears that he believed he had CTE from playing
high school football in southern California and was targeting the
NFL headquarters in Manhattan because of that. But the elevator
didn't take him to the NFL. He got in the
(02:59):
wrong elevator. It took him to the thirty third floor
and he began shooting that floor after he already shot
at the lobby, and then continued on on the thirty
third floor. This man was inside as it was all
unfolded from the bill and news TOCB were running, That's
what it was. People inside the building were saying they
heard someone, They thought someone fell down the stairs, and
then they realized I was just stared with someone shooting
(03:22):
a gun. Among those killed was a New York City
police officer, along with a woman named Wesley Patner, an
employee of Blackstone, an investment firm. She was a wife
and a mom of two. He had an AR fifteen
style rifle, which the NYPD is now in their trip
to Vegas going to try to trace to figure out
it appears that somebody sold them the parts the accessories
(03:43):
for that. They want to talk to that person and
he had that note blaming CTE and documented mental health
background in Las Vegas, and the NYPD saying.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
According to our law enforcement partners in Las Vegas, mister
Timora has a documented mental health history.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And John the mayor is saying it was really eery
watching surveillance video that they have not publicly put out
of a woman who got out of that elevator that
he got into and hellowed her to walk off like
normal after he shot people in the lobby and then
went to kill more on the thirty third floor. But
he allowed her to live for whatever reason, and she
got out and he allowed her out, and then he
went up into the elevator and went up from there.
(04:19):
Jessica Chen, she was trapped in the building hiding from
the shooter, texting her her family members chair that I
love them. I tested people good in my life, that
I love them. We were honestly really really scared. The
shooter was a casino employee in Las Vegas. He had
two mental health crisis It now looks like they may
(04:40):
not have actually been holds, but interactions with the LVMPD
in his background over the last couple of years. But
it's unclear how he got the guns. Based on his
mental health background and the concealed carry permit in Las Vegas.
We know that he also had permits to be a
security guard in Southern California in LA and he had
security guard license in Nevada as well, So a lot
(05:03):
they've got to figure out. They don't think that he
actually had CTE, but apparently he believed he did. Today
there are bullet holes in the NFL Crest in the
lobby of that building. But his note said study my brain.
I am sorry. So the focus of this is now
moving to Las Vegas to figure out what led up
to him getting in his car and then driving to
(05:24):
New York and nobody noticed or stopped him carrying that rifle.
Is walking on Park Avenue, I mean there's a photo
of him walking through a pedestrian plaza and this is
at you know, six or forty in the evening, So
there must have been a well, I mean, that's in
a very busy section of midtown Manhattan. Yeah, how did
(05:46):
nobody notice that huge weapon that he was carrying around?
You know, it seems like there was just at a
speed of doing it. He double parked his BMW and
got out, leaving it in the street, and walked up
that plaza. In the plaza when you see the video,
it is it's empty, there's nobody around, there's people out
on the sidewalk, but where he's walking through, and it
seems nobody realized what he was caring because there were
(06:06):
no as far as we know, there were no emergency
nine one one calls seeing somebody with a gun before
he went in there, and nobody tried to stop him
in that moment. So you know, it seems like people
were going about their business. They had AirPods in, they
were talking to her, that's what they yeah, walking down
the sidewalk and it would have been a bit of
a distance based on on where he was in that plaza,
(06:28):
but nobody realized he was carrying a long gun. But
would it have made a difference. The NYP probably couldn't
have gotten there in that amount of time anyway, from
getting out of his BMW to walking into that lobby.
But it doesn't seem anybody noticed, all right, Alex Stone,
thank you very much. ABC News. Here on KFI. The
NFL employee who who was struck by a bullet was
(06:52):
down in the lobby, Craig Clemente, and he was trying
to call his coworkers saying that this guy was coming,
not even knowing that the guy really was headed for
the NFL headquarters. He worked in the NFL's finance department, Clente,
and he was calling the other employees and said avoid
(07:15):
the building, escape and he got a bullet in the back,
and they think the bullet ricocheted before striking him. And
his wife just had a new baby. And you know,
it's terrible as the police officer who was killed was
working on his off day as security at the building,
(07:36):
and they have a program for NYPD where officers are
allowed to work on their off days and provide security,
and so that's what he was doing. And he's got
a wife who's having a baby in a few months
as well. So this is just awful, awful tragedy. But
what's stuck in my mind because they started publishing the
(07:56):
photos pretty quickly as soon as I got home. Is
that's a big gun. I mean, you saw it, right.
I thought.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I could not believe that he was just walking down
the street with that, with that weapon, and that nobody
noticed or did anything.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
It's got to be screen staring. It's crazy, it has
to be. I mean, I read a piece that in
New York City this morning. You know, things were back
to normal business people walking looking at their phones with
their earphones on, so you don't see anything, you don't
hear anything. Everybody's in their own protective bubble, scrolling Instagram
(08:32):
messages or texts or something and listening to whatever on
their headphones. But I've never seen such a such a blatant,
large weapon being carried through a busy public area like that.
I mean, it's just it's incredible because all you needed
was one guy, one guy, you know, to to tackle him.
(08:56):
You tackle him, divert him in some way, scream, make
a ruckus. You know, it's it's shocking. I didn't think that.
In fact, you know, you would. You would think he'd
be worried that somebody would see him. Right, he was
casually she at least, you know, holding under a trench
coat or have it in some kind of a case. Right,
(09:18):
you want to sneak into the building, you want to
sneak No, there was no sneaking. It's like, look, I'm
about to shoot up a whole load of people. You've
seen this thing. And he's walking very coolly and calmly.
We'll see if he really is suffering from CTE. I mean,
just because he says so, you know, he may have
a bad mental illness and he's delusional and he thinks
he's got CTE or he's trying to blame it on that.
(09:40):
Because you don't know you have it. They cannot diagnose
it until you're already dead, and they do a they
carve up your brain and then they look to see
you at the cell damage. He just may have been insane.
Are we We're gonna play when we come back, a
clip of him when he was a running back at
Granada Hills Charter High School back in twenty fifteen, Shane
(10:02):
Tamera and he was getting interviewed with a LA Daily
News sports writer, and there's a video of that interview
about about a minute and a half. We'll play it
for you.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Moistline for Friday. You better call eight seven seven Moist
daty six eight seven seven Moist D eighty six or
use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Oh, it's
already been posted. I'm appearing once again on my wife's
video podcast on YouTube and it's called Debort Cobelt Live.
So if you go to Debort cobelt Live on YouTube,
(10:43):
the latest episode is me and it's already been posted,
so you could watch it there. And we just talk
about the big news of the last week or so.
All Right, this shooting the office building of New York
City where the NFL officers were, among other big corporations
(11:03):
had their headquarters there. But this this guy, according to
his own note, was going after the NFL. Uh for
for a long time. For a long time. NFL athletes, uh,
some of them were suffering in later life with something
called CTE. It's a long name, it's a it's a
degenerative disease. And boxers get it, football players get it sometimes, hockey,
(11:29):
rugby players. If you get your head, your head hit
often enough, if you have enough concussions, then over time
the brain degrades and often you start going crazy. Symptoms
including impulsive behavior, depression, suicidal thoughts. You just you have
(11:52):
a lot of cognitive problems and sometimes you get really violent.
And I've just read many stories about and some famous
players suffering later in life. Sometimes it hits you early
in your thirties and forties, sometimes it hits you later.
It depends on the number of concussions, the severity, and
guys used to play through concussions all the time and tomorrow,
(12:17):
I guess, at least in his telling, I haven't seen
anybody like corroborate any of this, but in his telling
he suffered CTE from all the dangers. Now he also
could have some crazy schizophrenic mental illness too, separately, or
n CTE or just the crazy mental illness. It's impossible
(12:41):
to know, like I said, until they do the autopsy.
But he was a good player. He was a start
running back for Granada Hills Charter School. And this clip
is from September eighteenth, twenty fifteen. LA Daily News sports
writer Jack Pollin was interviewing him and they shot video
of it.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
And listen to this, Hey, we're here a standout running back,
Shane Tamia from the Granada Hills football team big thirty
five thirty one victory against Kennedy tonight, the battle for
Granada Hills. Shane, just talk about you guys getting that
win tonight. How'd you guys come through?
Speaker 5 (13:16):
We definitely had to stay disciplined. We were down ten zero,
and we definitely had to stay disciplined. Our cooks kept saying,
don't hold your head down, don't hold your hands to average.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
I just had to stay disciplined coming.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Together as a team. Shane. A couple of touchdowns for you,
including a huge one late in the game there in
the fourth quarter with under four minutes to go that
put you guys up thirty five to twenty four. Sort
of sealed the game there for you guys. Gave you
guys a nice cushion. Take us through that play right there,
jail break screen right there. Then you broke free about
(13:47):
the fifty yard line and then took it to the house.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Well, our coach basically asked me. He was like, Shane,
is the tea screen open? Is the tea screen open?
I was like, yeah, it's definitely open. So we just
through the past to meet, or he through the past
to meet. And one thing, Lance to another and I scored.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Shane talk about you mentioned you guys were down ten
to nothing early hole. Uh, you know, things could have
got out of control possibly.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
You know, how did.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You guys pick yourself up off the floor after the
early ten oh deficit.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
Definitely definitely had to stay disciplined. Our coaches kattanas, don't
hold your heads down. It's just it's just the first
hat or it's actually just the first quarter. We just
had to keep playing, keep flying through it, and just
hold her head up high and then a good results going.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
To come at all. Something definitely happened to him. I mean,
whether it was caused by blows to the head playing
football or some other mental disorder or schizophrenia. That just
doesn't sound He doesn't sound like like a bad guy.
He doesn't sound like somebody who's going to go on
a shooting spring. And that's that's what friends and neighbors
(14:49):
are saying. Mason Thomas said he played high school football
with Tamera in Grenada Hills. According to New York Times,
said it was mind blowing to see an old high
school team in the news for this kind of shooting.
He remembered Tamura as funny, popular, and agreeable and a
standout running back. There was nothing from the little I
(15:10):
knew about him that would have indicated anything like this.
Never any issues I can remember. He never had issues
with anybody. Debbie Hatfield was a neighbor in Santa Clarita.
They were neighbors for over ten years. Remember Shane and
his brother playing with her children, went to elementary school
with her daughter. They were typical kids. She remembers Shane
(15:31):
as just a little kid following his older brother around.
It's really shocking, but in Las Vegas he ended up
with run ins police had to be called mental health problems.
Somehow he got even with the mental health problems, he
got a gun and now they're looking for an associate
(15:53):
who might have provided him with some of the parts
to the gun. It's called an M four. It's an
AR fifteen style gun. But it's it's it's big.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
He got a work card to be either a security
guard private investigator. Uh. And but the work card didn't
authorize you to carry a firearm, according to the New
York Times. And Uh, there's also a story about uh
about the CTE. He would not be the first football
(16:30):
player to turn to violence or die by suicide. Andre Waters,
Dave Durrison, Junior Soo, and other football players have killed
themselves with guns. Durerson, and che Sal shot themselves in
the chest so their brains could be studied, and Durrison,
like Shane Timora, left a note asking for the brain
(16:54):
to be studied. They also think Aaron Hernandez, who killed
an equation and killed himself in prison after the fact,
he was diagnosed with a severe form of CTE. Philip Adams,
a former NFL cornerback who'd gone back to his hometown
in South Carolina, shot and killed five people and died
(17:15):
by suicide, couldn't find work after his football career fizzled out,
and he'd become increasingly erratic in his behavior. They have
not been able to develop a test for CTE, and
they're trying to find ways of identifying a certain protein
without requiring brain samples. Samples in the protein seems to
(17:37):
be a marker for the disease. All right, when we
come back, you want to talk about your the criminal incident.
Sure not that you were involved in it?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
No, I wasn't involved. I was an innocent bystander.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
No, but a bad guy in Debora's neighborhood. Yesterday I
talked about the crazy woman in front of the Whole
Foods who is defecating on the sidewalk, and you had
the crazy person people, crazy people. Yeah, it's quite a story.
So we'll talk about all this as well. And also
(18:17):
I talked yesterday at length about what's really going on,
and I got some more evidence of what's really going
on behind the scenes. Why the city doesn't do anything
about it, why the state doesn't do anything about it.
There's there's one overwhelming specific reason. And let me let me,
(18:37):
let me tell you you have got to change the mayor.
You have got to in Los Angeles. Tell you all
about it. We come back.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Right every day from one until four o'clock. After four
o'clock John cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast, and
you listen to that in case you missed something. So
over the weekend, we were going to talk about this yesterday,
but Debor had the day off. Devor's neighborhood buzzing with police.
(19:14):
Did you get the helicopter treatment.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
The helicopter was so close to my house that we
thought that it was going to crash. We into our house.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
We got the helicopter treatment the week before with that
murder in front of the Whole Foods, right, and then
they then they caught the murder a couple of days
later down the block at Katsuya. But you got the
he I mean, it came really close that close to here,
and I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Our house was shaking, the dogs were freaked out. Couldn't
believe how close it got. I mean, really really close.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
What happened because this happened in two parts.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Yes, two parts. So early in the in the day,
we have that helicopter and then we see a police cruiser.
So I'm looking out my window because we are up
on a hill, so I'm looking down and I also
see a police cruiser literally down the street. So the
helicopter police guy was saying something on a loudspeaker. I
couldn't hear. But our neighbor told my husband that he said,
(20:10):
burglary in progress. Stay in your homes, which makes sense,
right because what else could it be?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
And you ran to the handbag closet.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
I don't have a handbag closet anyway, No, I wish
no no, I do not. I don't live on the
West Side like your people.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
John, I don't have a hilltop mansion. Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Anyway, So finally the helicopter all of a sudden, it
was crazy, just flies away. So we don't know what's
going on. So a couple of that, maybe four hours later,
we see a swarm of police police officers. Thank you
LAPD because there was probably eight or nine LAPD cops
(20:55):
or cars that showed up and another helicopter in a
different part of my neighborhood. And that one apparently was
three guys broke into somebody's house, stole a safe, a
lot of money, and crashed. It was a black I
think probably a stolen Mercedes, crashed into a Tesla car.
The Tesla car was recording video, and those guys got away.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
They got away.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
They got away, So they're wandering around, you know, I'm
sure they're going to go hit some other house in
the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
So nine police cars showed up and they got away.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yes, and so people are asking, including myself, well, how
could they have gotten away? You had nine police cars.
Well this is what somebody said on we have this
group chat started when the fires broke out that what
these people do is they have a getaway car that's
kind of close by, and so they the guys jumped
(21:50):
out of the black Mercedes and probably jumped into the
getaway car and no one saw that.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Car and they got away. Well, they show up usually
a defensive cars.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Well they try and trick you.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Like when when they went to the Real Reel in
Santa Monica just a few days ago, because my wife's
friend got video of this, there were like five luxury cars,
late models, and they they and they jump out and
they they ransacked the store and then they go piling in.
But it's always good cars. They kind of fit in
(22:23):
with the neighborhood. They fit in with the stores.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Because you see those expensive cars and you don't think anything.
Oh yeah, of course, yeah, they're they're part of the landscape. Yeah,
of course, you know. But if they were in a
dumpy car in your neighborhood, for sure, you would be suspicious.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
So these guys are caught on video from the Tesla cameras. Yeah,
what are the Tesla cameras constantly recording what goes on?
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I don't I do not I don't know that should
that should help get them, get them caught soon.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
You you would, you would hope. But this is obviously
that I'm assuming I should say, obviously these are the
same groups that are hitting the homes and Encino and
all the other areas. I mean, they're wearing the black hoodies.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
And the pass. You're not far from Encino. No. I
wonder if it was the same crew that robbed the
other house that you got the warning on, and.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
You know, that's what I thought that maybe because that one,
I don't think. I again, there wasn't any information on
that one. So this is just me hypothesizing that they
tried to break in and for whatever reason they got caught.
They couldn't. So then they came back in the same
area and they found another house where they were successful.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Oh, they easily could have been your house.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Yes, although you don't want to break into my house
because uh, you just don't.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Okay, I wouldn't want to take you on.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
But you know what's crazy That one happened to think
it's seven o'clock at night. The other one happened during
the day. These criminals do not care people are home.
Back in the day, you had one bad guy, right
breaking into a house when they figure that no one
was home. Now, these people, they don't care.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
If you're home and they know they're being video recorded,
they don't care. And they know there's alarms going off,
and it doesn't matter to them. I mean, they'll they'll
snip your power so the alarm doesn't go off. They'll
jam your internet, yeah, and so the ring camera doesn't work.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Yeah, or they put cameras somewhere where they can see
your comings and goings so they can tell it's something
needs to be done about this. Again, I'm just going
to say that the homeless situation and the crime situation
in la are ridiculous and I don't understand why this
(24:42):
is being allowed.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
They don't care. Care best in the city council doesn't care.
I mean, that's the simple answer. If they did, it
wouldn't exist. Most cities and towns don't have this going on.
We do. We got a special breed of progressive and
they think police are the oppressors, and we're oppressors because
(25:09):
we have jobs, we own homes, we own cars. We're
the oppressors. The criminals, the robbers, and the homeless people
they're the oppressed. And so Karen Bass and the City
Council for the most part, a few exceptions stand with
the oppressed against us the oppressors. I don't know how
long it'll take before people get that I'm telling you
(25:30):
the truth. That's really what they believe. That's there. It's
more than a political philosophy, it's more than an ideology.
It's like a religious belief they have. And so you
and I have no chance because we work for a living.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
Well, it's unfair. It's just I mean, seriously, I'm going
to stand by what I said on the air last
week that the money for the Olympics the World Cup
should be taken away from Los Angeles until Los Angeles
cleans up its act with the homeless and the crime,
because I think that if that was on the table,
I think things would miraculously change.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, I know, if like the Olympic committee said, you
clean this up, and you clean this up within you know,
three months, or the world's not coming here to see
all this disgusting filth in the streets and all the
mental patients and drug addicts and all the thieves, because
the thieves are going to be showing up to rob everybody,
(26:26):
you know, at all the hotels or the airbnbs, they'll
know there's a lot of money that's coming to town.
We come back. I have a secret source somewhere deep
within the bowels of government, and I'll relay some of
the information I've learned about why it's as bad as
(26:47):
it is. Is it going to get fixed? No, it's
not getting fixed. It can get fixed overnight if we
elect different people, but that's not going to happen since
the majority of people who live in the city and
county and state will not elect different people. But it
just explains what's going on. I'll tell you about that next.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
John Cobelt Show. I Am six forty more stimulating a
talk radio. Oh I'm on my wife's video podcast again,
Deborat cobelt Live. It's called It's on YouTube. Debora cobelt
Live on YouTube. The audio is on the iHeart app
as well. Yes, my whole life is on the iHeart app. Anyway,
if you want to see it, it's already been posted.
(27:37):
We talked about the news of the last week. That's
Debora Cobelt Live on YouTube. All right, we're just talking about.
You know, I'm dealing. I'm gonna get in case I
haven't heard, Here's what in my life that I'm aware of.
Like in the last ten days, what's gone on. We
had the murder of a homeless person in front of
(27:58):
the Whole Foods not far from my home. And then
two days later the guy who did the stabbing, the
murderer was picked up at a restaurant a little bit
down the block. Then told you this. Yesterday a woman
showed up in front of the Whole Foods, dropped her
pants and her thong and uh defecated on the sidewalk
(28:25):
and walked away with toilet paper hanging out, hanging out
of her thong. Then my wife went to the nail salon,
same same street. Homeless people come barge again, ruckus. They
had to be shoved out door, had to be locked.
Then after the nail salon, she goes to the hair salon.
We're going to a wedding that weekend. Same thing. Crazy
(28:48):
homeless people barge in, have to be shoved, out door locked.
My wist friend across the street pumping gas sees the
real reel. Uh get that that's a that's a handbag place.
I guess they sell other things too, I don't even know.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Yeah, it's it's a used handbags, clothing, shoes, belts.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Whatever, expensive stuff. Yes, that got robbed by guys in
five luxury cars. It is on the last ten days.
So I was talking to somebody have secret sources in government.
It's like, you know what is going on? And one
of the answers I got is what the homeless people
(29:32):
you see on the street. And you might have a
you might have a council person who's trying to get
them out of the neighborhood. Some of them do, some
of them don't. But what you do have on the
street are the hard care drug addicts and the mental
patients and people who just refuse to go. And nobody
(29:52):
has the legal tools to force the addicts into treatment,
or the mental patients into the hospitals, or the criminal
into jail. So we've hit a wall here. The people
you see that you're scared the most of are the
people that Karen Bass absolutely refuses to put away. Now,
(30:15):
in the last year, what's happened. You had that Supreme
Court decision which I think was a year ago, which
said that nobody in the United States has the right
to sleep in a public place, not on a street, sidewalk,
public park, or anything. That every town can remove every
homeless person off off a public site, no violation of
(30:38):
the constitutional rights. You had Gavin Newsom come out and
demand that every city get the homeless off the streets,
or he's cutting funding. He's good at talking. There's been
no follow through. Trump the other day issued an executive
order everybody off the streets, or he's going to cut
(31:01):
federal funding, which may cause havoc for these homeless, for
the homeless industry. Point being is the Supreme Court has
weighed in and said everybody should be should be gone.
The President has said everybody should be gone. The governor
said everyone should be gone. Who's the one person who
hasn't said that. The mayor of Los Angeles. She refuses,
(31:28):
She doesn't even talk about it. She just goes quiet
and waits for all the news coverage to just blow
over pass by. What limited news coverage there is because
the progressive jackasses who run the media in LA have
zero interest in criticizing her and zero interest in doing
(31:55):
any stories that put pressure on her. You know, they'll
cover the sensational stories right, because that's a good in
the moment eyeball grab. But there's no sustained pressure to
get her to do her job properly. Same thing with
the city council, and so there's absolutely nothing anyone can
(32:19):
do unless Karen Bass changes her woke progressive cast her
inspired policy progressives. Again, I'm gonna keep saying this. They
believe that the criminals and the mental patients and the
drug addicts are the oppressed, and that you and I
(32:42):
and Deborah, all of us, we're the oppress ors. We
do not have a right to walk on a clean
street and feel safe from criminal attack. We don't have
a right to walk on a street that doesn't have garbage, feces, needles.
(33:04):
We don't have the right to walk on a street
that doesn't have people who are screaming at us, chasing us,
terrorizing us. They don't believe we do. That's a privilege.
We're not entitled to that privilege. You see, having a
safe neighborhood is a privilege that they don't want to
(33:26):
give us.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
But they live in safe neighborhoods. They wouldn't tolerate this.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yes, hypocrisy is high up on their list of attributes.
You know, it's like John Carey warning the world about
climate change and he flies around in private planes.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
I'm saying that the politicians that want the affordable housing
or the low income apartment buildings, that they should be
built right next door to them, and that they should
allow homeless camps to be set up right there, or
homeless shelters should be right there. And if they're happy
with that, and they're okay with that, well I still
(34:05):
don't want that, but let them let them experience that.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Yeah, well, there's only one thing to do is to
get rid of them. Karen Bass needs to be getting
rid of replaced. You have to put in a different mare.
Otherwise we'll have this exact same conversation, not just next year,
but maybe you know, five and a half years from now,
(34:30):
we're going to be talking about the same thing. She
refuses to. She's a woke progressive. She's not interested in
doing something for the privileged folks. We're the oppressors. She's
not helping the oppressors. She's helping the oppressed. When we
come back in Venice, dog owners are scared. Six healthy
(34:53):
dogs suddenly got sick and died. This all happened in
the last three weeks. There's ten other dogs are also
very sick. One's in intensive care and they're trying to
figure out what are these dogs ingesting when they go
on their walls.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
So terrifying because dogs will put anything in their mouths.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, and uh, it's it's actually heartbreaking stories. They have
warning warning posters all over the neighborhoods in Venice. It's
in the Venice Canal area. We'll tell you about these
stories coming out. And if you're in Venice, keep your
dog inside, let him poop in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
It's bring him over to John's house.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
That's right. We have a poop room in our house.
I know you. It works well.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Train your dog not to poop in the house.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
It's it's it's not that it's I can't train him
not to attack other dogs in the neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
But you have a backyard.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh, we want him out in the backyard.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
Yeah, so he should be pooping in the backyard, not
in the poop room in your house.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
There's coyotes and uh, what's the other there's another threat
there other coyotes all over the bobcat no, not bobcats, hawks,
redtailed hawks. They swoop down and they eat cats and dogs.
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Okay, so you never let him out.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
He goes very quietly to his little room. He's his
own bathroom, is what it is. He does. I've heard everything.
Now the Pope does with the Pope wants. That's right, Hope.
