Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty you're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. You know who's coming on
the show. Next hour's big day. We had Arms Schwartzeter
on last hour. We got Bill O'Reilly coming on shortly
after three o'clock.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Bill O'Reilly, he'll be in.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
On the phone, and he is doing work with news
Nation now the cable news outlet, and he's appearing on
a town hall that they're going to be broadcasting soon.
And also he's got a new book out. So we'll
talk to Bill o'relly in about an hour. Meantime, we've
got to spend some more time on what they're doing
(00:39):
in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Is this is really out of hand.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
They are opening a mental health site for forty nine
mental patients across two buildings on Ocean Avenue that overlooks
the beach, that's on the cliff overlooking the beach, across
the street from Palisades Park, which used to be really nice,
and then the vaguer and the mental patients took over,
and now it seems that that neighborhood has been blindsided
(01:06):
because these.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
People are going to be allowed to wander about.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
They'll be uh, they'll be living there, and they they
but during you know, during the day, I guess, I
don't know if they've if they have any curfew hours
at all, they can do what they want. And you're thinking,
you can't be serious, But they are serious because obviously
(01:35):
the forces and government wanted to destroy the beauty of
Santa Monica, especially along along the cliffs there overlooking the
beach in the ocean. We've gone there hundreds of times.
It's a beautiful place to go and watch the sunset,
take a walk through the park. Can't go there anymore
because all the lunatics in the park. I mean people
(01:55):
actually have been stabbed and killed in the Palisades Park.
Let's get Jamie Page on to see what this is about.
There's a lot of places you could put up mental
health center. I don't know why you'd put it there, Jamie,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I'm good? Thanks for having me both statements. The neighbors
that I've talked to have said, we don't understand why
it's going here.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Why is it going there?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It's a really good question. And you talked about security.
They see chose the center said there will be security,
but I used to live by the bridge home a Vennis.
They had security there, that didn't mean that there wasn't
people who flocked to the area. You and I both
know once you open a facility like this, it's not
only the people in.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
The facility, it's those who come to visit because you
know there's security there, but it's not lots.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So what does security mean? Though?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They're free to walk around and these people are unhinged,
the security can't control their mental illness when they're free
to walk the streets.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Oh and I if you go to the area you
talked about, the park across the street. I was knocking
on doors this weekend. There are homes that are twenty
feet There are doors that are twenty feet from this facility.
And these neighbors, rightfully so, are frightened and worried and
have no say so in what's going on. And until
(03:22):
I knocked on the homes, several of them had no idea.
They thought this was going to be one of those
like wellness centers.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It used to be.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I understand a Senior Citizens home because I know this building.
I've walked past it many times. You know it was
a benign and I guess they thought it was going
to be another benign type of group setting, but no,
this is really bad. It's going to combine behavioral treatment
(03:52):
with housing for people experiencing homelessness and untreated mental illness.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So these are people who have such.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Deep mental illness untreated. They can't hold a job, they
can't have a home. I mean, they're exactly what you
see running around in the streets. And now they'll be
able to run around the neighborhood all day because they have.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
A place of sleep and three square meals. Yes, talk
about reinforcing behavior. I mean this is this is the
ultimate LA move, if you will, giving folks who have
refused housing or have mental health and we know a
lot of folks who are on the boardwalk in Venice.
Have you know drug induced psychosis? Yes, drugs play a
(04:36):
big role, and they're bringing those drugs into this neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
If they're not mentally already, all the drugs will will
fry their brains, and a lot of them irreversibly. You
take enough drugs and your brain gets so damaged there's
there's no there's no way to fix it. Now, who's
responsible for permitting this, allowing this is this the county
or is this the.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
City DMH, According to the mayor of Santa Monica and
Lindsay Horrvath, they did not know about it. DMH is
the one who was moving forward.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That would be the La County Department with the Department
of Mental Health.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yes, okay, sorry, yes, I just want to include that.
I don't think that's a past that they didn't know
about it, right, the fact that the Department of Mental
Health that falls underneath the supervisor horror AaTh, Lindsay Horrorvath,
who represents the area, and you know, she says she's
frustrated because she didn't know and she learned about.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Wait, how does she not know? I don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I do not believe you're going to open up a
forty nine bad mental health facility in a residential late
neighborhood looking over the ocean and Lindsay horror Vat so.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I don't know what they were going to do. Stop it.
That's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I don't believe that county and state funded. Chris Garraw
wrote a really good column that we just published on
the West Side Current Folks should read it. It's really good.
It talks about his.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Experience living in Santa Monica and the needle distribution from
the Department of Mental Health and the parks. These are
the same folks that think it's okay to pass out
needles where kids play.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Those are crazy people, and they shouldn't be allowed to
have a government job and set government policy and install
programs like this. I'm really tired of arguing with them.
I don't want to hear about this. They need to
be removed from office. People in the neighborhoods have to
say enough of this. You're right, you can't argue with
(06:30):
crazy people. They're like in a bizarre cult. I am so,
so sick of this crap. So when is this opening up?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
This place?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
The beginning of November they said there's supposed to be
a town hall. There's no date, but times, you know,
the clock ticking. What's the town hall going to do?
At this point?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The town the town hall, the officials who show up
are just gonna lie to all the people and claim, well,
we'll have adeclate security and we understand your concerns and
all the other boiler play garbage, and then they'll open
the place and all hell is going to break close.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, Yeah, we've I've.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Lived it in Venice. I've seen it firsthand, and I
really feel for the neighbors, you know, as just a
person who's lived through this. Uh, you know, I don't
know how they're going to claw it back either. Once
they open this.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Well, you know what, that's that's where people have to
That's where people have to take a lot of protest.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Action, and and and and and.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Some of these some of these, some of these politicians,
somebody like Lindsay horrorac has just to be somehow, some
way recalled, replaced fired.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I mean, it's it's got to happen.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
People.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You have the total twenty sixth elections if I can
real quick too, there's one hundred and fifty six bed
facility just seven miles up the street. That also the
neighbors are protesting because they didn't know about it.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah, and this is county Lindsay Horrorvath as well, right.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
That the armory. Uh So these are two projects that
neighbors say that they feel blindsided. And there's a town
hall at the end of October for that one. But
what's the town hall going to do?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
That's that's just a cover your ass. Oh yeah, we
took input from the community, we had a town hall.
No what somebody wrote online, and this is exactly true.
The purpose is so that it's done in secret to
prevent local residents from mobilizing to litigate, to file lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's why. That's why I don't say anything.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So you can't get protest groups together, you can't file lawsuits,
you can't muck up the process once they've decided.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well, there's some pretty smart people and a lot of
attorneys in Santa Monica. So I don't think that that's
going to be the case here, but that you're right.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You know they're going to have to.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Mobilize now and act.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Shame on Lindsay who areth shame on her? And I
don't believe her her nonsense. I just flat ap don't.
Of course, you knew this was coming. Of course, you
depart to mental health can act on its own. You
just take control of any building it wishes anywhere and
put in fifty mental patients. No, there's got to there's
there's plenty of bureaucracy. There's a lot of people who
(09:10):
have to approve this stuff and sign off on it.
I mean, that's just crazy. Listen, great article, you wrote
though in the west Side.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Current, thank you and gat to be on.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I am so glad you and your paper are covering
these things because nobody else.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Does I do after you do all the work.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Though, after you do all the work, then that puts
you on to to explain what you've done.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So really, this is great, great stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Thank you, Jamie, Thanks John Pleasure.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right, Jamie Page Westside Current dot com. You live
on that side of town, you should be reading that
twice a day. And if you don't live on that
side of town, you ought to read it because you
could read about all the dvus things that the government
does to local neighborhoods because it'll be your neighborhood next.
I don't care where you live, because they're all the same.
All right, more coming up.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Just had JB.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Paige on from Westside Current dot com about how they're
opening up a mental patient clinic in Santa Monica in
a residential neighborhood right across from what used to be
a beautiful park before they let the vagrants and the
mental patients and the drug addicts take over overlooks the ocean,
gorgeous place quintessential California, where you go to watch the sunset,
(10:33):
watch the dolphins swim by. Can't go there anymore because
it's been turned over to the people who are the
most insane, with the worst addictions and the worst mental problems.
And this particular place is being run by Saint Joseph's Center,
(10:54):
and they're partnering with the Los Angeles County Department of
Mental Health and JBI Page mentioned a column today in
the Westside Current dot com written by Chris Lagrad, journalist.
We've had on many times. You should read the whole thing,
but I'll give you a couple of choice parts. You
have to understand the client tele in this particular, in
(11:18):
this particular mental health center, because this come to your neighborhood,
This can come in. It has come to any neighborhood.
This stuff, So you have to be aware. They're not
going to tell you in advance. It's to treat high
acuity patients. What's a high acuity patience? Well, according to
the medical journal Psychiatric Clinics of North America, anyone described
(11:43):
as a high acuity patient is someone because of a
mental health or substance abuse condition may be agitated acutely suicidal, violent, psychotic, manic, intoxicated,
and or experiencing withdraw. They may be involuntarily held due
(12:03):
to posing a danger to themselves or others. And now
Lindsey Horrovath, the Lakenny supervisor, is allowing forty seven of
these people to live on a residential street on Ocean
Avenue in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Forty seven. Let me describe them again.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Individuals because of a mental health or substance use condition,
may be agitated, acutely suicidal, violent, psychotic, manic, intoxicated, or
experiencing withdraw to the point where you may have to
involuntarily hold them in a mental facility. Can you imagine
(12:45):
not one, not three, not eight, forty seven in two
adjacent buildings, Saint Joseph's and the La.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
County Department of Public Health.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
The Department of Public Health, by the way, that's Barbara Ferrer,
that raving idiot who locked down the county and wouldn't
even let us eat outside. Remember that looney bag, She's
still there. In twenty twenty three, another nonprofit called Venice
Family Clinic coordinated with the Department of Public Health to
(13:31):
distribute free hypodermic needles to addicts in three Santa Monica parks.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know, they got a clever name called harm Reduction.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Same thing, same thing they did this time, no public notice,
no notice to city officials.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
According to Chris.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Lagras, taxpayer spent a two thousand dollars an hour, three
hours a week, and they hand out needles to thirty
to forty people. Chris has watched the program in action.
Two employees hand out bags of ten needles. They don't
engage any of their drug addic clients, not even a
(14:09):
flyer with phone numbers for service providers. They don't even
talk to the drug addicts. They just give them needles.
These facilities, like the Bridge Homes, they always do the
same thing. They do it for homeless, vagrance and mental patients.
(14:31):
They become centers for crime and violence. Chris Wilgrass says,
they turn into war zones. That's what's coming to destroy
Ocean Avenue. This is an aggressive, coordinated plan to destroy
the way normal people live in residential neighborhoods and turn
(14:57):
the land.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Over to the UH.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
To all the groups that the Progressive was worshiped, criminals,
mental patients, homeless, people drug addicts, that's who they worship.
You just financing, just absolutely amazing. When we come back,
well we got more of Katie Porter if you missed
(15:27):
it yesterday. We're gonna play the clip of her getting
angry with a reporter up in Northern California from CBS.
And now another clip has surfaced of her screaming and
cursing at one of her staff members who walked into
her zoom shot while she was having a meeting with
(15:47):
a member of the Biden administration's. I only bring her
up because she's the leading candidate to replace Gavin Newsom
in the polls.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It's hard to believe this is going on.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty ln.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Schwartz thinkers on the show from one to one thirty,
and you can hear it on the podcast posted on
the iHeart app. After four, John Cobelt's show on demand
still to come. Bill O'Reilly is going to be on
with us after three o'clock. Bill is actually is quite
a mediumpire going and among the places he appears at
(16:27):
or speaks at, his news Nation and they have a
town hall they're broadcasting there and he's a part of
it with Chris Croma.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He's also got a new book out.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So we'll talk to Bill O'Reilly coming up after three
o'clock meantime, Katie Porter, We're going to play you the
the bit of the video that if you haven't heard,
you got to hear this once in your life. This
is a CBS Sacramento reporter, Julie Watts. How come all
the good TV reporters are coming out of Sacramento, her
(16:57):
Ashley Zavala, What is it? How come LA reporters don't
do this kind of work. They don't even cover who's
running for governor. They will cover all the legislation coming
out of Sacramento. But uh, I just I just don't
understand why. How come Channel two, four to seven and
we've got how many TV We got five TV stations
(17:18):
right that produced news. Out of those five stations, nobody
can go chasing after some of these, some of these
candidates or some of these legislators that produce all the filth.
I don't get it anyway. Julie Watts, Katie Porter, Katie Porter,
missus potato head famous for dumping a uh a pot
(17:44):
of scalding potatoes on her husband's head. This is in
the divorce papers. So missus potato Head has a very
bad temper problem. She's very well known in Washington, d C.
She was a congresswoman for three years at Orange County.
I don't know what's wrong with you people in Orange
County because this lady is living on the edge. She
(18:06):
has a hair trigger, angry, violent temper, and somehow she
fooled enough people to get re elected. She's got this
stick where she does at hearings. She has a whiteboard
and she likes to draw stuff on the whiteboard, you know,
important points, And man, can she screech when she gets mad.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
John, are you planning on having her in studio, because
if you do, you better be careful.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh well, we would pat her down for h Is
that what you would do for pot potatoes?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Okay, Because she's got a lot of places that she could.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Hide the hog.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
You would piss her off for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh yeah, Well think those kind of people would never
come on the show. She can't take a neutral reporter,
I know.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Can you imagine her being here with you?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
No, because because I don't let any of these people
get away.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
With their bs.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
That's why people love you.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yes, but you can't get them to come on the
show because she has no immune system to criticism, no
immune system to hard questioning. Newsom doesn't have either, which
is why I'm really going to enjoy when he runs
for president. He can't take a punch. He's two protected,
he's a pretty little boys. He's been wrapped in bubble wrap,
(19:19):
and he doesn't know how to respond.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I mean, what's his name.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
The Florida Governor Rod DeSantis wiped him up on that
Fox News debate on Sean Hannity's show because they just
so showed screen after screen of all the terrible things
going on in California, and Newsom had no response to
any of it. Let's go to this Katie Porter thing now,
just to set it upright, Julie Watson is asking all
(19:49):
the potential candidates for governor the same set of questions.
They're fairly neutral questions. One of them was, you're supporting
New Wism's Prop fifty, which redistricts the congressional seats in
the state and really blocks out Republicans from having more
(20:11):
than four representatives out of fifty two in Washington. A
lot of Trump voters. So she said, well, you're supporting
newsom here, aren't you worried about losing about the forty
percent of Trump voters? And remember there's two parts to
the election next year. There's the primary where the top
(20:31):
two contestants go on to November, and then there's general election. Well,
you could end up with two Democrats, and in that
event you might need Republican votes or independent votes to
win because you have another Democrat who's going to be
splitting the Democrat vote in some way.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
So it was a legitimate question, and.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Katie Porter didn't understand it or didn't think it through,
I don't know, but she got pissed off that she
was being asked the question that's the key here, roll
of the tape redistricting.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
What do you think of the governor's plan?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
I support the governor's plan.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
What do you say to the forty percent of California
voters who you'll need in order to win, who voted
for Trump?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
How would I need them in order to win?
Speaker 10 (21:20):
So, well, unless you think you're going to get sixty
percent of the vote, do you think, okay, sixty percent?
All everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote
for you? That's wait, you're thing a general election.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
Yes, if it is me versus a Republican, I think
that I will win the people who did not.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Vote for Trump.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
What if it's you versus another Democrat?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I don't intend that to be the case.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
So how do you not intend that to be the case?
Speaker 11 (21:41):
You do?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
You?
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Are you going to ask them not to run?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
No?
Speaker 11 (21:44):
No, I'm saying I'm going to build the support. I
have the support already in terms of name recognition, and
so I'm going to do the very best I can
to make sure that we get through this primary in
a really strong position. But let me be clear with you.
I represented Orange County. I represented a purple area. I
have stood on my own two feet and one republic
can votes before. That's not something every candidate and this
race can say. If you're from a deep blue area,
(22:05):
if you're from LA or you're from Oakland, you don't have.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
An experience, then you don't need those Trump voters.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
So you asked me if I need them to win?
Speaker 9 (22:12):
So you don't.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
I finel like this is unnecessarily argumentative. What is your question?
Speaker 10 (22:16):
The question is the same thing I asked everybody that
this is being called the empowering voters to stop Trump's
power grap Every other candidate has answered this question.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
This is not argument, said, I support it. So and
the question is what do you say to.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
The forty percent of voters who voted for Trump?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you
need them to win?
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Part that I don't understand. I'm happy to answer the
ques answer. The question is you haven't written in all answer.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
And we've also asked the other candidates do you think
you need any of those forty percent of California voters
to win?
Speaker 9 (22:46):
And you're saying no, you don't.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every
vote I can. And what I'm saying to you is.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
That, well to those voters, Okay, so you I don't want.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
To keep doing this. I'm going to call it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
She gets up here to try to lead.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
You're not going to do the interview with us.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
No, it's not like this.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
I'm not not with seven follow ups to every single
question you ask.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Every other candidate has answered, I don't care.
Speaker 11 (23:09):
I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation which you
asked me about every issue on this list, and if
every question you're going to make up a follow up question,
then we're never going to get there.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
We're just going to circle around.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I had to do this before ever.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
You've never had to have a conversation to end in order. Okay,
but every other candidate has done this.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
What part of I'm me? I'm running for governor because
I'm a leader, So I am going to make so.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
You're not going to answer questions from reporters.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Okay, why don't we go through?
Speaker 10 (23:40):
I will continue to ask follow up questions because that's
my job as a journalist. But I will go through
and ask these and if you don't want to answer,
you don't want to answer, so nearly every legislative.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
I don't want to have an unhappy experience for you,
and I don't want this all on camera.
Speaker 10 (23:55):
I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either.
I would love to continue to ask these questions so
that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels
about every one of these issues that they care about
and readise you're taking its a massive issue. We're going
to do an entire story just on the responses to
that question and have asked everybody the same follow up questions.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't want to have an unhappy experience. I want
to lesson positive conversation.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Have to ask follow up questions. You're if you're a
decent reporter, of course you do.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
I mean that made no sense.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
She's running, first of all, in a primary where she's
got at least six other Democrats running, so that's going
to split up the Democratic vote a lot. Why would
you want to write off all the Republican and independent
votes and those people are going to be upset over
Prop fifty? Why would you do that because you're not
(24:51):
entitled to all the Democratic votes when you have six
other Democrats are more running, and then it's very.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Possible, well, you have two Democrats running in November, you
may need that forty percent.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Because that forty percent is nowhere to go, So they're
going to pick where everything is the lesser of the
two evils, and you've just blown them off by saying
you're not entitled to any congressional representation. Doesn't is she stupid?
On top of having a very bad temper? Was she
listened to the question? Hadn't she thought all this through?
And she goes, well, oh when when Julie Watt says well,
(25:29):
what if you have a Democratic opponent in November?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Well, I don't intend that to happen.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Well, Kamala Harris didn't intend to lose to President Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
How could you control who the number two person is?
How do you do that?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
You don't know how the master that's going to shake out.
There might be ten candidates between Republicans and Democrats on
the June ballot. You know, good luck figuring out who's
going to be the top two when right now they're
mostly bunched up because there's no outstanding star on either side.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I don't care. That's so stupid. But so she's so petulant.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
And did she really think this wasn't going to end
up on camera? I don't want this on camera. I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well, it's kind of too late the camera.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
She thinks she's in charge of the questions, and she's
in charge of the editing of the piece, and CBS
Sacramento put the whole thirty minute interview online.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
This is just three minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
But you know that that's at do we have it
that's going to replace Gavin Newsom?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
She's a crazy person.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Let me guess you'd rather have Gavin newsom.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
You are not going to corner me and to say that.
Now when we come back, you want to hear her
really lose it. Politico dug up this clip from twenty
twenty one. Apparently she was on a video call with
I think it was the Secretary of Energy in the
Biden Whitehouse, and this this clip was buried for a
(27:02):
long time by the Biden staff, and now somebody's released
it because she's talking. I think it's it's uh, what's
the name of the secretary Grandholme, I think and used
to be she was from Michigan. Anyway, somebody, somebody released
(27:23):
the clip and one of Katie Porter's staffers walked behind
Katie in the distance and was correcting her on a fact,
and Katie Porter lost it because the staffer was in
the shot. You could see her on camera. We'll play
you this clip, missus potato head, in all her glory.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
All right, we continue with the looney bin.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Katie Porter, missus potato head warmer, congress woman who's lost
Tobby for God's sake, she lost to Adam Schiff in
the Senate race. That's that's how bad a candidate she
was running for a statewide office. Well, you've probably seen
or heard the interview that she did with Julie Watts
(28:18):
from CBS Sacramento, freaking out because Julie Watts was asking
some pointed questions on is you know she boughtn off
forty percent of the state by promoting this new some
redistricting plan. You know, the forty percent that votes Republican
aren't going to need Republican votes. Katie Porter really got
(28:39):
upset and started to walk out at one point. But
you know, outside of that, outside of dumping potato hot
mashed potatoes on the husband's head and also throwing a
lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He said in the.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Divorce papers, she was throwing books and toys at him,
calling them all sites foul names. Well, Katie Porter was
on a video call with the Secretary of Energy in
the Biden administration, and in the comer shot is Porter's
staffer who wanted to correct Porter about some fact that
(29:17):
they were bouncing around, and Porter freaks out and starts
yelling play cut number two.
Speaker 12 (29:23):
We did a study recently this fall in September, and
what it showed is if we don't electrify or transportation sector.
That we're going to lose more than half a million
Californians dying prematurely to air pollution and other problems, and
the state could lose out of my shot.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
That that's actually incorrect.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
It's not that it's electric vehicles, it's that we don't
need to commitments any climb.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Okay, it does. Okay, you also were in my shot
before that. Stay out of my shot.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
Okay, I'm going to start again with electric vehicle saving
us money.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Perfect.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Okay, that is Katie Porter.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Her staffer is trying to help Katie, trying to correct Katie.
Whatever they were talking about, electric cars, whatever. All Katie
Porter cared about was that there was a figure walking
behind her in the shop.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Out of my shot.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And then the woman.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Said I just wanted to tell you and made the correction,
and Porter realized she was right. She didn't say you're wrong,
that's not true. Why you're bothering me. It's like, okay,
but just get out of my shop. It's like, what
does it matter? This was a private video call between
Porter and Jennifer Granholm, who's the Energy secretary. Well, what
does it matter if there's somebody walking in the back.
(30:50):
It's somebody works for you.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
According to Politico, Porter says she is striving to do
better by your staff.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Out of my shot.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
She's going to be the governor.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
So we're going from Jerry Brown to Gavin Newsom and
now we're down to Katie Porter. You're out of my shot, right.
A lot of hope, Jake. She's leading in the polls.
You know who she replaced, Kamala Harris. What's wrong with everybody?
(31:25):
Some kind of mash psychosis. When we come back, Bill
O'Reilly and ask him Buddy thinks about California and how
fast we're spinning down the toilet. Deborah Mark live in
the KFI twenty for our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening
to The John Covelt Show podcast. You can always hear
the show live on KFI AM six forty from one
(31:46):
to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course,
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty you're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. You know who's coming on
the show. Next hour's big day. We had Arms Schwartzeter
on last hour. We got Bill O'Reilly coming on shortly
after three o'clock.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Bill O'Reilly, he'll be in.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
On the phone, and he is doing work with news
Nation now the cable news outlet, and he's appearing on
a town hall that they're going to be broadcasting soon.
And also he's got a new book out. So we'll
talk to Bill o'relly in about an hour. Meantime, we've
got to spend some more time on what they're doing
(00:39):
in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Is this is really out of hand.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
They are opening a mental health site for forty nine
mental patients across two buildings on Ocean Avenue that overlooks
the beach, that's on the cliff overlooking the beach, across
the street from Palisades Park, which used to be really nice,
and then the vaguer and the mental patients took over,
and now it seems that that neighborhood has been blindsided
(01:06):
because these.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
People are going to be allowed to wander about.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
They'll be uh, they'll be living there, and they they
but during you know, during the day, I guess, I
don't know if they've if they have any curfew hours
at all, they can do what they want. And you're thinking,
you can't be serious, But they are serious because obviously
(01:35):
the forces and government wanted to destroy the beauty of
Santa Monica, especially along along the cliffs there overlooking the
beach in the ocean. We've gone there hundreds of times.
It's a beautiful place to go and watch the sunset,
take a walk through the park. Can't go there anymore
because all the lunatics in the park. I mean people
(01:55):
actually have been stabbed and killed in the Palisades Park.
Let's get Jamie Page on to see what this is about.
There's a lot of places you could put up mental
health center. I don't know why you'd put it there, Jamie,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I'm good? Thanks for having me both statements. The neighbors
that I've talked to have said, we don't understand why
it's going here.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Why is it going there?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It's a really good question. And you talked about security.
They see chose the center said there will be security,
but I used to live by the bridge home a Vennis.
They had security there, that didn't mean that there wasn't
people who flocked to the area. You and I both
know once you open a facility like this, it's not
only the people in.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
The facility, it's those who come to visit because you
know there's security there, but it's not lots.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
So what does security mean? Though?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
They're free to walk around and these people are unhinged,
the security can't control their mental illness when they're free
to walk the streets.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Oh and I if you go to the area you
talked about, the park across the street. I was knocking
on doors this weekend. There are homes that are twenty
feet There are doors that are twenty feet from this facility.
And these neighbors, rightfully so, are frightened and worried and
have no say so in what's going on. And until
(03:22):
I knocked on the homes, several of them had no idea.
They thought this was going to be one of those
like wellness centers.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It used to be.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I understand a Senior Citizens home because I know this building.
I've walked past it many times. You know it was
a benign and I guess they thought it was going
to be another benign type of group setting, but no,
this is really bad. It's going to combine behavioral treatment
(03:52):
with housing for people experiencing homelessness and untreated mental illness.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So these are people who have such.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Deep mental illness untreated. They can't hold a job, they
can't have a home. I mean, they're exactly what you
see running around in the streets. And now they'll be
able to run around the neighborhood all day because they have.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
A place of sleep and three square meals. Yes, talk
about reinforcing behavior. I mean this is this is the
ultimate LA move, if you will, giving folks who have
refused housing or have mental health and we know a
lot of folks who are on the boardwalk in Venice.
Have you know drug induced psychosis? Yes, drugs play a
(04:36):
big role, and they're bringing those drugs into this neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
If they're not mentally already, all the drugs will will
fry their brains, and a lot of them irreversibly. You
take enough drugs and your brain gets so damaged there's
there's no there's no way to fix it. Now, who's
responsible for permitting this, allowing this is this the county
or is this the.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
City DMH, According to the mayor of Santa Monica and
Lindsay Horrvath, they did not know about it. DMH is
the one who was moving forward.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That would be the La County Department with the Department
of Mental Health.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yes, okay, sorry, yes, I just want to include that.
I don't think that's a past that they didn't know
about it, right, the fact that the Department of Mental
Health that falls underneath the supervisor horror AaTh, Lindsay Horrorvath,
who represents the area, and you know, she says she's
frustrated because she didn't know and she learned about.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Wait, how does she not know? I don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
I do not believe you're going to open up a
forty nine bad mental health facility in a residential late
neighborhood looking over the ocean and Lindsay horror Vat so.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I don't know what they were going to do. Stop it.
That's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I don't believe that county and state funded. Chris Garraw
wrote a really good column that we just published on
the West Side Current Folks should read it. It's really good.
It talks about his.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Experience living in Santa Monica and the needle distribution from
the Department of Mental Health and the parks. These are
the same folks that think it's okay to pass out
needles where kids play.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Those are crazy people, and they shouldn't be allowed to
have a government job and set government policy and install
programs like this. I'm really tired of arguing with them.
I don't want to hear about this. They need to
be removed from office. People in the neighborhoods have to
say enough of this. You're right, you can't argue with
(06:30):
crazy people. They're like in a bizarre cult. I am so,
so sick of this crap. So when is this opening up?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
This place?
Speaker 3 (06:41):
The beginning of November they said there's supposed to be
a town hall. There's no date, but times, you know,
the clock ticking. What's the town hall going to do?
At this point?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The town the town hall, the officials who show up
are just gonna lie to all the people and claim, well,
we'll have adeclate security and we understand your concerns and
all the other boiler play garbage, and then they'll open
the place and all hell is going to break close.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Yeah, Yeah, we've I've.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Lived it in Venice. I've seen it firsthand, and I
really feel for the neighbors, you know, as just a
person who's lived through this. Uh, you know, I don't
know how they're going to claw it back either. Once
they open this.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Well, you know what, that's that's where people have to
That's where people have to take a lot of protest.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Action, and and and and and.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Some of these some of these, some of these politicians,
somebody like Lindsay horrorac has just to be somehow, some
way recalled, replaced fired.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I mean, it's it's got to happen.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
People.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You have the total twenty sixth elections if I can
real quick too, there's one hundred and fifty six bed
facility just seven miles up the street. That also the
neighbors are protesting because they didn't know about it.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Yeah, and this is county Lindsay Horrorvath as well, right.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
That the armory. Uh So these are two projects that
neighbors say that they feel blindsided. And there's a town
hall at the end of October for that one. But
what's the town hall going to do?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
That's that's just a cover your ass. Oh yeah, we
took input from the community, we had a town hall.
No what somebody wrote online, and this is exactly true.
The purpose is so that it's done in secret to
prevent local residents from mobilizing to litigate, to file lawsuits.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's why. That's why I don't say anything.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
So you can't get protest groups together, you can't file lawsuits,
you can't muck up the process once they've decided.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well, there's some pretty smart people and a lot of
attorneys in Santa Monica. So I don't think that that's
going to be the case here, but that you're right.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
You know they're going to have to.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Mobilize now and act.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Shame on Lindsay who areth shame on her? And I
don't believe her her nonsense. I just flat ap don't.
Of course, you knew this was coming. Of course, you
depart to mental health can act on its own. You
just take control of any building it wishes anywhere and
put in fifty mental patients. No, there's got to there's
there's plenty of bureaucracy. There's a lot of people who
(09:10):
have to approve this stuff and sign off on it.
I mean, that's just crazy. Listen, great article, you wrote
though in the west Side.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Current, thank you and gat to be on.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I am so glad you and your paper are covering
these things because nobody else.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Does I do after you do all the work.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Though, after you do all the work, then that puts
you on to to explain what you've done.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
So really, this is great, great stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Thank you, Jamie, Thanks John Pleasure.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
All right, Jamie Page Westside Current dot com. You live
on that side of town, you should be reading that
twice a day. And if you don't live on that
side of town, you ought to read it because you
could read about all the dvus things that the government
does to local neighborhoods because it'll be your neighborhood next.
I don't care where you live, because they're all the same.
All right, more coming up.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Just had JB.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Paige on from Westside Current dot com about how they're
opening up a mental patient clinic in Santa Monica in
a residential neighborhood right across from what used to be
a beautiful park before they let the vagrants and the
mental patients and the drug addicts take over overlooks the ocean,
gorgeous place quintessential California, where you go to watch the sunset,
(10:33):
watch the dolphins swim by. Can't go there anymore because
it's been turned over to the people who are the
most insane, with the worst addictions and the worst mental problems.
And this particular place is being run by Saint Joseph's Center,
(10:54):
and they're partnering with the Los Angeles County Department of
Mental Health and JBI Page mentioned a column today in
the Westside Current dot com written by Chris Lagrad, journalist.
We've had on many times. You should read the whole thing,
but I'll give you a couple of choice parts. You
have to understand the client tele in this particular, in
(11:18):
this particular mental health center, because this come to your neighborhood,
This can come in. It has come to any neighborhood.
This stuff, So you have to be aware. They're not
going to tell you in advance. It's to treat high
acuity patients. What's a high acuity patience? Well, according to
the medical journal Psychiatric Clinics of North America, anyone described
(11:43):
as a high acuity patient is someone because of a
mental health or substance abuse condition may be agitated acutely suicidal, violent, psychotic, manic, intoxicated,
and or experiencing withdraw. They may be involuntarily held due
(12:03):
to posing a danger to themselves or others. And now
Lindsey Horrovath, the Lakenny supervisor, is allowing forty seven of
these people to live on a residential street on Ocean
Avenue in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Forty seven. Let me describe them again.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Individuals because of a mental health or substance use condition,
may be agitated, acutely suicidal, violent, psychotic, manic, intoxicated, or
experiencing withdraw to the point where you may have to
involuntarily hold them in a mental facility. Can you imagine
(12:45):
not one, not three, not eight, forty seven in two
adjacent buildings, Saint Joseph's and the La.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
County Department of Public Health.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
The Department of Public Health, by the way, that's Barbara Ferrer,
that raving idiot who locked down the county and wouldn't
even let us eat outside. Remember that looney bag, She's
still there. In twenty twenty three, another nonprofit called Venice
Family Clinic coordinated with the Department of Public Health to
(13:31):
distribute free hypodermic needles to addicts in three Santa Monica parks.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know, they got a clever name called harm Reduction.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Same thing, same thing they did this time, no public notice,
no notice to city officials.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
According to Chris.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Lagras, taxpayer spent a two thousand dollars an hour, three
hours a week, and they hand out needles to thirty
to forty people. Chris has watched the program in action.
Two employees hand out bags of ten needles. They don't
engage any of their drug addic clients, not even a
(14:09):
flyer with phone numbers for service providers. They don't even
talk to the drug addicts. They just give them needles.
These facilities, like the Bridge Homes, they always do the
same thing. They do it for homeless, vagrance and mental patients.
(14:31):
They become centers for crime and violence. Chris Wilgrass says,
they turn into war zones. That's what's coming to destroy
Ocean Avenue. This is an aggressive, coordinated plan to destroy
the way normal people live in residential neighborhoods and turn
(14:57):
the land.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Over to the UH.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
To all the groups that the Progressive was worshiped, criminals,
mental patients, homeless, people drug addicts, that's who they worship.
You just financing, just absolutely amazing. When we come back,
well we got more of Katie Porter if you missed
(15:27):
it yesterday. We're gonna play the clip of her getting
angry with a reporter up in Northern California from CBS.
And now another clip has surfaced of her screaming and
cursing at one of her staff members who walked into
her zoom shot while she was having a meeting with
(15:47):
a member of the Biden administration's. I only bring her
up because she's the leading candidate to replace Gavin Newsom
in the polls.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It's hard to believe this is going on.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty ln.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Schwartz thinkers on the show from one to one thirty,
and you can hear it on the podcast posted on
the iHeart app. After four, John Cobelt's show on demand
still to come. Bill O'Reilly is going to be on
with us after three o'clock. Bill is actually is quite
a mediumpire going and among the places he appears at
(16:27):
or speaks at, his news Nation and they have a
town hall they're broadcasting there and he's a part of
it with Chris Croma.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
He's also got a new book out.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So we'll talk to Bill O'Reilly coming up after three
o'clock meantime, Katie Porter, We're going to play you the
the bit of the video that if you haven't heard,
you got to hear this once in your life. This
is a CBS Sacramento reporter, Julie Watts. How come all
the good TV reporters are coming out of Sacramento, her
(16:57):
Ashley Zavala, What is it? How come LA reporters don't
do this kind of work. They don't even cover who's
running for governor. They will cover all the legislation coming
out of Sacramento. But uh, I just I just don't
understand why. How come Channel two, four to seven and
we've got how many TV We got five TV stations
(17:18):
right that produced news. Out of those five stations, nobody
can go chasing after some of these, some of these
candidates or some of these legislators that produce all the filth.
I don't get it anyway. Julie Watts, Katie Porter, Katie Porter,
missus potato head famous for dumping a uh a pot
(17:44):
of scalding potatoes on her husband's head. This is in
the divorce papers. So missus potato Head has a very
bad temper problem. She's very well known in Washington, d C.
She was a congresswoman for three years at Orange County.
I don't know what's wrong with you people in Orange
County because this lady is living on the edge. She
(18:06):
has a hair trigger, angry, violent temper, and somehow she
fooled enough people to get re elected. She's got this
stick where she does at hearings. She has a whiteboard
and she likes to draw stuff on the whiteboard, you know,
important points, And man, can she screech when she gets mad.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
John, are you planning on having her in studio, because
if you do, you better be careful.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh well, we would pat her down for h Is
that what you would do for pot potatoes?
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Okay, Because she's got a lot of places that she could.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Hide the hog.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
You would piss her off for sure.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh yeah, Well think those kind of people would never
come on the show. She can't take a neutral reporter,
I know.
Speaker 8 (18:48):
Can you imagine her being here with you?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:51):
No, because because I don't let any of these people
get away.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
With their bs.
Speaker 8 (18:55):
That's why people love you.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yes, but you can't get them to come on the
show because she has no immune system to criticism, no
immune system to hard questioning. Newsom doesn't have either, which
is why I'm really going to enjoy when he runs
for president. He can't take a punch. He's two protected,
he's a pretty little boys. He's been wrapped in bubble wrap,
(19:19):
and he doesn't know how to respond.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I mean, what's his name.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
The Florida Governor Rod DeSantis wiped him up on that
Fox News debate on Sean Hannity's show because they just
so showed screen after screen of all the terrible things
going on in California, and Newsom had no response to
any of it. Let's go to this Katie Porter thing now,
just to set it upright, Julie Watson is asking all
(19:49):
the potential candidates for governor the same set of questions.
They're fairly neutral questions. One of them was, you're supporting
New Wism's Prop fifty, which redistricts the congressional seats in
the state and really blocks out Republicans from having more
(20:11):
than four representatives out of fifty two in Washington. A
lot of Trump voters. So she said, well, you're supporting
newsom here, aren't you worried about losing about the forty
percent of Trump voters? And remember there's two parts to
the election next year. There's the primary where the top
(20:31):
two contestants go on to November, and then there's general election. Well,
you could end up with two Democrats, and in that
event you might need Republican votes or independent votes to
win because you have another Democrat who's going to be
splitting the Democrat vote in some way.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
So it was a legitimate question, and.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Katie Porter didn't understand it or didn't think it through,
I don't know, but she got pissed off that she
was being asked the question that's the key here, roll
of the tape redistricting.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
What do you think of the governor's plan?
Speaker 5 (21:08):
I support the governor's plan.
Speaker 10 (21:10):
What do you say to the forty percent of California
voters who you'll need in order to win, who voted
for Trump?
Speaker 5 (21:17):
How would I need them in order to win?
Speaker 10 (21:20):
So, well, unless you think you're going to get sixty
percent of the vote, do you think, okay, sixty percent?
All everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote
for you? That's wait, you're thing a general election.
Speaker 11 (21:29):
Yes, if it is me versus a Republican, I think
that I will win the people who did not.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
Vote for Trump.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
What if it's you versus another Democrat?
Speaker 5 (21:37):
I don't intend that to be the case.
Speaker 9 (21:39):
So how do you not intend that to be the case?
Speaker 11 (21:41):
You do?
Speaker 3 (21:42):
You?
Speaker 9 (21:42):
Are you going to ask them not to run?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
No?
Speaker 11 (21:44):
No, I'm saying I'm going to build the support. I
have the support already in terms of name recognition, and
so I'm going to do the very best I can
to make sure that we get through this primary in
a really strong position. But let me be clear with you.
I represented Orange County. I represented a purple area. I
have stood on my own two feet and one republic
can votes before. That's not something every candidate and this
race can say. If you're from a deep blue area,
(22:05):
if you're from LA or you're from Oakland, you don't have.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
An experience, then you don't need those Trump voters.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
So you asked me if I need them to win?
Speaker 9 (22:12):
So you don't.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
I finel like this is unnecessarily argumentative. What is your question?
Speaker 10 (22:16):
The question is the same thing I asked everybody that
this is being called the empowering voters to stop Trump's
power grap Every other candidate has answered this question.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
This is not argument, said, I support it. So and
the question is what do you say to.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
The forty percent of voters who voted for Trump?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Oh, I'm happy to say that. It's the do you
need them to win?
Speaker 11 (22:37):
Part that I don't understand. I'm happy to answer the
ques answer. The question is you haven't written in all answer.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
And we've also asked the other candidates do you think
you need any of those forty percent of California voters
to win?
Speaker 9 (22:46):
And you're saying no, you don't.
Speaker 11 (22:47):
No, I'm saying I'm going to try to win every
vote I can. And what I'm saying to you is.
Speaker 10 (22:52):
That, well to those voters, Okay, so you I don't want.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
To keep doing this. I'm going to call it. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
She gets up here to try to lead.
Speaker 9 (23:00):
You're not going to do the interview with us.
Speaker 5 (23:02):
No, it's not like this.
Speaker 11 (23:02):
I'm not not with seven follow ups to every single
question you ask.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Every other candidate has answered, I don't care.
Speaker 11 (23:09):
I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation which you
asked me about every issue on this list, and if
every question you're going to make up a follow up question,
then we're never going to get there.
Speaker 9 (23:19):
We're just going to circle around.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
I had to do this before ever.
Speaker 10 (23:24):
You've never had to have a conversation to end in order. Okay,
but every other candidate has done this.
Speaker 11 (23:31):
What part of I'm me? I'm running for governor because
I'm a leader, So I am going to make so.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
You're not going to answer questions from reporters.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Okay, why don't we go through?
Speaker 10 (23:40):
I will continue to ask follow up questions because that's
my job as a journalist. But I will go through
and ask these and if you don't want to answer,
you don't want to answer, so nearly every legislative.
Speaker 11 (23:51):
I don't want to have an unhappy experience for you,
and I don't want this all on camera.
Speaker 10 (23:55):
I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either.
I would love to continue to ask these questions so
that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels
about every one of these issues that they care about
and readise you're taking its a massive issue. We're going
to do an entire story just on the responses to
that question and have asked everybody the same follow up questions.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't want to have an unhappy experience. I want
to lesson positive conversation.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
Have to ask follow up questions. You're if you're a
decent reporter, of course you do.
Speaker 8 (24:27):
I mean that made no sense.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
She's running, first of all, in a primary where she's
got at least six other Democrats running, so that's going
to split up the Democratic vote a lot. Why would
you want to write off all the Republican and independent
votes and those people are going to be upset over
Prop fifty? Why would you do that because you're not
(24:51):
entitled to all the Democratic votes when you have six
other Democrats are more running, and then it's very.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Possible, well, you have two Democrats running in November, you
may need that forty percent.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
Because that forty percent is nowhere to go, So they're
going to pick where everything is the lesser of the
two evils, and you've just blown them off by saying
you're not entitled to any congressional representation. Doesn't is she stupid?
On top of having a very bad temper? Was she
listened to the question? Hadn't she thought all this through?
And she goes, well, oh when when Julie Watt says well,
(25:29):
what if you have a Democratic opponent in November?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Well, I don't intend that to happen.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Well, Kamala Harris didn't intend to lose to President Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
How could you control who the number two person is?
How do you do that?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
You don't know how the master that's going to shake out.
There might be ten candidates between Republicans and Democrats on
the June ballot. You know, good luck figuring out who's
going to be the top two when right now they're
mostly bunched up because there's no outstanding star on either side.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I don't care. That's so stupid. But so she's so petulant.
Speaker 7 (26:08):
And did she really think this wasn't going to end
up on camera? I don't want this on camera. I'm paraphrasing.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well, it's kind of too late the camera.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
She thinks she's in charge of the questions, and she's
in charge of the editing of the piece, and CBS
Sacramento put the whole thirty minute interview online.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
This is just three minutes.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
But you know that that's at do we have it
that's going to replace Gavin Newsom?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
She's a crazy person.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
Let me guess you'd rather have Gavin newsom.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
You are not going to corner me and to say that.
Now when we come back, you want to hear her
really lose it. Politico dug up this clip from twenty
twenty one. Apparently she was on a video call with
I think it was the Secretary of Energy in the
Biden Whitehouse, and this this clip was buried for a
(27:02):
long time by the Biden staff, and now somebody's released
it because she's talking. I think it's it's uh, what's
the name of the secretary Grandholme, I think and used
to be she was from Michigan. Anyway, somebody, somebody released
(27:23):
the clip and one of Katie Porter's staffers walked behind
Katie in the distance and was correcting her on a fact,
and Katie Porter lost it because the staffer was in
the shot. You could see her on camera. We'll play
you this clip, missus potato head, in all her glory.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI am sixty.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
All right, we continue with the looney bin.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Katie Porter, missus potato head warmer, congress woman who's lost
Tobby for God's sake, she lost to Adam Schiff in
the Senate race. That's that's how bad a candidate she
was running for a statewide office. Well, you've probably seen
or heard the interview that she did with Julie Watts
(28:18):
from CBS Sacramento, freaking out because Julie Watts was asking
some pointed questions on is you know she boughtn off
forty percent of the state by promoting this new some
redistricting plan. You know, the forty percent that votes Republican
aren't going to need Republican votes. Katie Porter really got
(28:39):
upset and started to walk out at one point. But
you know, outside of that, outside of dumping potato hot
mashed potatoes on the husband's head and also throwing a
lot of stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
He said in the.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Divorce papers, she was throwing books and toys at him,
calling them all sites foul names. Well, Katie Porter was
on a video call with the Secretary of Energy in
the Biden administration, and in the comer shot is Porter's
staffer who wanted to correct Porter about some fact that
(29:17):
they were bouncing around, and Porter freaks out and starts
yelling play cut number two.
Speaker 12 (29:23):
We did a study recently this fall in September, and
what it showed is if we don't electrify or transportation sector.
That we're going to lose more than half a million
Californians dying prematurely to air pollution and other problems, and
the state could lose out of my shot.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
That that's actually incorrect.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
It's not that it's electric vehicles, it's that we don't
need to commitments any climb.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Okay, it does. Okay, you also were in my shot
before that. Stay out of my shot.
Speaker 11 (29:59):
Okay, I'm going to start again with electric vehicle saving
us money.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Perfect.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Okay, that is Katie Porter.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Her staffer is trying to help Katie, trying to correct Katie.
Whatever they were talking about, electric cars, whatever. All Katie
Porter cared about was that there was a figure walking
behind her in the shop.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Out of my shot.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And then the woman.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Said I just wanted to tell you and made the correction,
and Porter realized she was right. She didn't say you're wrong,
that's not true. Why you're bothering me. It's like, okay,
but just get out of my shop. It's like, what
does it matter? This was a private video call between
Porter and Jennifer Granholm, who's the Energy secretary. Well, what
does it matter if there's somebody walking in the back.
(30:50):
It's somebody works for you.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
According to Politico, Porter says she is striving to do
better by your staff.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Out of my shot.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
She's going to be the governor.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
So we're going from Jerry Brown to Gavin Newsom and
now we're down to Katie Porter. You're out of my shot, right.
A lot of hope, Jake. She's leading in the polls.
You know who she replaced, Kamala Harris. What's wrong with everybody?
(31:25):
Some kind of mash psychosis. When we come back, Bill
O'Reilly and ask him Buddy thinks about California and how
fast we're spinning down the toilet. Deborah Mark live in
