Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can if I am six forty, you're listening to the
John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's the John
coblt Show. Well, I've everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and
we are on every day from one until four o'clock,
so you're right on time, and then every day after
four o'clock if you missed any part of the program.
That's what the podcast is for. John Cobelt's show on
(00:22):
demand on the iHeart app millions of downloads a year,
so there's a lot of people are not fully present
between one and four. But that's why we have this
public service, really, and we can also make extra money
on it as well. Let me let let me start
with something. You know, if I could dance, I would
(00:42):
do And I told you so, dance because I just
told you so just a few days ago and it
turns out to be so true. What did I say
last week? I said, here's three dots. I'm going to
connect them for you. Number One, Karen Bass is slowing
the permits to rebuild in the Palisades. Number two, Scott
(01:05):
Wiener has a bill so low income housing apartment towers
could be built in any normal residential neighborhood. Yeah, and
he's been pushing that through trying for a few years now.
And then the third dot, and there's a fourth dot coming.
(01:26):
The third dot was Gavin Newsom is offering one hundred
and one million dollars so that developers can build low
income housing. Let me say this as plain as I can.
Karen Bass and the La City Council have no interest
(01:46):
in restoring Pacific Palisades to its former state. Zero. Karen
Bass didn't go to Cuba sixteen times so that she
could rebuild a paradi dice for wealthy white homeowners in
the Palisades. That's not on the game plan, all right.
(02:11):
She this is such a rare opportunity for her to
impose her socialist, communist dreams. No way, she's giving it up.
And if you wonder what I'm referring to, go to
the podcast yesterday between one thirty and two. It was
a little primer on Karen Bass's immersion into communist Cuba
(02:36):
under Castro. She spent quite a bit of time there,
working there and working with a revolutionary organization in the
nineteen seventies and it actually this organization trained a number
of terrorists. I don't think Bass ever hit the level
of terrorist, but she did immerse herself in that kind
(02:59):
of rhetoric, and she went to Cuba many many times,
big fan of Fidel Castro, and you have to keep
that in the back of your mind when you look
at her decisions, you look at her behavior. So she
is not expediting the building permits. Scott Wiener would like
(03:27):
all residential neighborhoods to have low income housing apartment towers.
Gavin Newsimith is throwing in one hundred million dollars at
tax money so developers can start building those low income
housing towers. The fourth dot today connected to the third dot,
there is another bill, it's new moving through the legislature
(03:52):
that will allow the City of Los Angeles to buy
lots in the Palisades to build low income housing. Send
it Built five forty nine. Are you listening to me
if you're in the Palisades? Send it Built five forty
nine would allow property taxes to fund what lawmakers are
calling resilient rebuilding authorities. Why doesn't that sound like something
(04:17):
out of the Soviet Union. Resilient rebuilding authorities. These are
government agencies that could buy and this is an LA
magazine the ruined land and get loans to rebuild, and
forty percent of the funding must be earmarked for building
(04:39):
multi unit low income housing on lots where single family
homes once stood in Altadena, Pacific Palisades, Malibu and other areas.
This is separate from Gavin Newsom and is one hundred
and one million dollars to build more life low income housing.
(05:02):
So now you have two major low income housing programs
that have been launched within a week. You have very
few permits. They have done very little to rebuild the
infrastructure in the Palisades, and like I said, I go
there every week or two, sometimes several times in a week.
(05:27):
I've seen repeatedly that nothing is going on there. They
need They didn't. They didn't have the reservoir filled in
right too. Come year and a half, the electrical lines
need to be buried. They're going to build a future Palisades,
you got to put the wires underground. Nothing's happening on
that front. The fire Department is still way underfunded because
(05:52):
Bass defunded the fire department. Police Department is way underfunded
because Bass defunded that agency as well. And now Newsom
now is not only giving one hundred million dollars to
jump start the building of low income housing. The Senate
(06:13):
is going to allow Los Angeles. That would mean Karen
Bass to buy some of the burned out lots and
they'll be able to get the loans. You can't get
the loans and you can't get the insurance if you're
currently living in the Palisades. But the City of Los
Angeles will be able to get the loans and forty
(06:36):
percent will be earmarked for low income housing. Remember, in
this case, a city agency, resilient rebuilding authorities, a city
agency is buying the land. It's not like they're getting
the money and then giving it to developers. They're going
(06:57):
to be the developers with our tax money. And the
Palisades will never be allowed to return to its former state.
People there will never have a chance to rebuild the
homes that they loved. If you don't if you don't
make it so they can have insurance, and if you
(07:18):
don't make it that they can get a permit. And
at the same times, they're so busy, they're going to
be so busy buying lots and hiring builders, and Newsom
is busy handing out money to builders and it's all
about low income housing. It's all about giving poor people
a chance to enjoy life. In the Palisades, you overlook
(07:44):
the ocean, beautiful mountain vistas, cooler weather, very placid way
of life. That's why people moved there and paid so
much money to be there. Well, that's wrong. Bass is
a communist heart Newsom is close behind, and they had
(08:04):
been railing about the wealthy and income inequality all their
miserable lives. Now here's a chance they're not going to
blow it. No way. I told you this was going
to happen. It's happening. Your choice to stop it or not.
This is their dream. This is why they got into politics,
which also leads me to wonder, Wow, when they saw
(08:29):
the Palisades was burning, is that my Bass that didn't
send in the fire department when she got all those
warnings that the Palisades could burn? Is that why she said, Eh,
I'll go to Africa. Whatever happens happens. Is that why
when she landed, she didn't express any grief, shock, empathy.
(08:51):
She just expressed silence. That's why and do some can't
tell the truth either, But that's why he fumbles around
with his answers and makes no sense. They've always wanted
to do this, and they had the right set of circumstances.
(09:15):
They had the warnings and didn't respond. Makes me wonder.
My thoughts about this get darker and darker each day
because everything's fitting into place now too neatly. No insurance,
(09:35):
no permits. We got one bill for one hundred billion dollars,
a second bill that allows low income towers to be
built in every neighborhood. A third bill that would allow
the city to buy the empty lots and build low
income towers. One, two, three, all right, more come up.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Eric. He looks very concerned, But I said, I was
gonna sneeze you just well, I was getting ready to say,
bless you. You did it, so no, bless you, no
bless I don't know where that sneeze went. Something could
just come popping out of me soon. All right. I
saw I saw something today. I was driving into work
(10:29):
and I went to Philly's Best Cheese Steaks, which is
about three miles east down Olive Avenue, and I get
to a traffic light. A couple of blocks short and
there is a very old man eighty plus in a wheelchair,
very frail and thin and weak, and he's trying to
(10:51):
roll his wheelchair. No, he didn't even try to roll
the wheelchair. He's too weak to do that's in the
chair and he's using his feet to slowly push the
chair across. You imagine this, you're sitting in a chair
and you're using your feet in the front trying to
(11:13):
get some leverage.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Did you help him?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I took forever for him to go across Olive Avenue
and then, you know, he tried to get across I
think it was Verdugo. I'm not real familiar with the area.
He then tried to go up a ramp, you know,
a sidewalk ramp, and he went a little bit and
then he rolled back into traffic. And I was at
(11:38):
the light watching this, and then he tried again. He's
rolling back and I called nine to one one.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh, okay, so you kind of helped.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I kind of helped. I mean, me running out isn't
going to do anything for him.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Well, you could have give him a little push, made
life a little easier.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You'd have another listener to your podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Perhaps I don't think this guy's downloading podcasts. He might
have been one of the original KFI listeners. Here you go.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
He would have been excited if you said, do you
know who I am?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
He would He probably picked up the station. In nineteen
twenty two, I figured I'd call the police, and he
was still trying to make his way down Olive Avenue
along the curb, and I'm thinking, how did it? First
of all, you know in LA nobody would have helped him.
I gotta say Burbank they I guess they said down
(12:33):
somebody right away, and they called me and asked me
had I seen him further because they were aware of
the guy they had stopped him earlier. And the guy said,
it's all right, I'm getting a ride. I guess his
ride didn't show up.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
After I called, they went around looking for him and
they couldn't find him. And I said, well, he can't
be too far away. He was moving at a sales base.
Maybe his ride show up. And I thought, how does
a guy, how do you live your whole life and
you end up like that? Like did? I guess everybody
died on him? Maybe maybe he didn't have kids. Yeah,
maybe the wife died and the friends died. They're all
back in the nursing home. And he was the one
(13:09):
who got loose.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
That's so sad.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Maybe he's got demanchia. Maybe he was a jackass his
whole life and he has no friends and family. Nobody
likes him. Yeah, it's like, oh, and I was thinking,
because you and I always talk about this, It's like,
that's why there's time limit on how long you want
to stay here. Yeah, you know because when somebody said, oh,
you know you're going to live an extra three years, Well,
(13:32):
if that's the three.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Years, it's quality, not quantity.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Give me another cheeseburger and another shot, give me a
cigarette in fact time time to speed up this process.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Well, I mean, that's so lonely and it's hot out.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, so he's in the hot sun. I was like, wow,
So I don't know where the guy is, right.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I think you should have had I think you should
have talked to him, had a discussion with him.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Obviously needed a friend. He might have. You might have
made his whole day, But instead you just called nine
one one.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I called nine and he was calling La nine one one.
Then he really have no chance.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Poor guy.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, what would you would have done.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I would have helped him, I would have tried.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I think I'll call you next time. Okay, uh okay.
Angela McGregor writes for the West Side Current, and she
wrote a great piece on the homeless numbers that Karen
Bass unveiled and all the uh self congratulations that followed,
(14:46):
and Angela has the same reaction I do. I'll tell you,
I don't believe any of their numbers. I think they
are liars and they're full of crap. I don't believe
in their census counts, the way they're walking the streets,
having people put what they see into an app and
(15:07):
then it takes some nine months to count the numbers.
And it's been well reported that there were certain employees
with LASA that did not want to deliver bad news
to the bosses, and so it's full of crap. All
they want is the tax money, and then the tax
(15:27):
money disappears. Please understand still that federal Judge David Carter,
he had an audit done. There's over two billion dollars
on accounted for. He can't figure out where it went.
And that case still stands. In that same situation, nobody
knows where the money went and now they're coming out
(15:48):
claiming three or four percent reduction and giving themselves huge congratulations.
And at the center of this is once again our
favorite psychopath in Bass. She said that the point in
time count makes one thing clear that change is possible.
Bass thanked and congratulated Felicia adams Kellum, who's the uh
(16:16):
head of LASA. But she's on her way out. The
County's pulled out a LASSA. They cut off adams kellum
microphone at a meeting while she was babbling nonsense. And
adams Kellum is the one who gave away two million
dollars of homeless money to her husband's nonprofit. But not
only did Bass thank and congratulate adams Kellum, who lost
(16:39):
track of the two billion dollars. Do you believe that
she loses two billion dollars? And Bass publicly thanks and
congratulates her because that's one of her hires, like Genie Kinonyez.
Then Bass asks the assembled media and lost of employees
(17:03):
to stand and give her a round of applause, A
round of applause. Now did anybody in the media stand
up and do that?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I bet what? I bet you? The LA Times writers
did if they even bothered to cover it the assembled press.
I don't know who the press would have been. I
can't find many stories on this. She lost two billion dollars,
she gave two million dollars to her husband's nonprofit. The
(17:32):
county pulled out. Then nobody believes the numbers. In fact,
you know Adam's Callum resigned. Now Angela McGregor and the
Westside Current points out that we have three council members,
led by Tracy Park, that voted against the city budget
(17:53):
which included hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for LASA,
and the reason Park voted against it, she says, is
a free for all where no one is able to
account for the billions we flushed down the toilet. Tracy
is an intelligent, rational person, and she is correct. We
have flushed billions down the toilet. And now they give
(18:16):
us this half assed point in time count claiming a
three percent drop in homelessness. So instead of seventy five
thousand people in the county, there's seventy two thousand homeless people,
which would account for the number that die every year.
If you add up the death total with the current total,
(18:38):
you get last year's total in the city. That number
declined from forty five thousand to forty three thousand, about
three and a half percent. The one thing they're hanging
on is their claim that with inside Safe, bringing homeless
people inside. And she kept using this phrase over and
(18:59):
over again, bringing people inside. That the percentage of homeless
persons in shelters and motel rooms grew by nine and
a half percent. But that particular program is busted now,
it's out of money. It's remembering, it's worth remembering that
(19:25):
lossa's data from last year was severely questioned. The RAND
Corporation noted that Lasas count in twenty twenty four severely
undercounted the number of homeless in Venice, and then Public
Radio did an investigation and found that nine areas inside
(19:51):
Los Angeles had more than one hundred observations of homelessness
removed from losa's totals by the time the count was finalized.
Save two independent outside organizations that looked at the twenty
twenty four count and said, wait, wait, wait a second,
(20:13):
it's a severe undercount, homeless observations disappeared from the data.
The LA Alliance filed a lawsuit saying Loss's data system
is smoking mirrors. A whistle blower, a whistleblower against LARSA,
Emily Vaughan Harry contended that Adams Kellum requested that requested
(20:43):
that the date on Karen Bass's signature. I'm sorry that
the data on the inside Safe program was manipulated because
Kellum did not want mayor Bass to look bad. I'm
going to repeat that this whistle blower, Emily Vaughn had
She says at Loss's data system is smoking mirrors, and
(21:06):
Adams Kellem requested that data on the inside Safe program
be manipulated because Kellem did not want Mayor Bass to
look bad. So you have NPR the RAND Corporation. A
whistleblower by name who works inside LASA, Tracy park All,
(21:34):
contending that these data accounts of homeless people are just
a load of crap. Really, if you want to summarize it.
But Karen Bass was applauding herself at a press conference
and asked the press and lost employees to stand and applaud.
She feels so comfortable that the local media here will
(21:56):
report whatever she says, that she's not embarrassed to ask
them to applaud. And I guess nobody in the media
took any unbridge up on that. Huh, No, nobody said,
what the hell are you talking about. We're not here
to applaud you and your staff members. Very very Soviet
(22:19):
union like you want the state media to applaud the
leader as they hand out manipulated false data on an
issue that they have stolen a lot of money on
and they have failed at.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
All.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Right, we come back.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Well, John, even yesterday, you know how the Pentagon announced
that two thousand National Guards were leaving. Yeah, right, yeah,
Well Karen Bass was basically saying, we did it right.
This this is something that you know, Dianngelino should be
proud of because we forced them to leave.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, they retreated, right, Yes, they're in retreat. Newsom has
been talking like that too. In fact, one of the
things we got coming up at two point fifteen is
Newsom is going to be holding some kind of press
event communities affected by the immigration rates. So we'll see
(23:17):
next hour. But yeah, we got to talk more about that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
We're on every day from one until four and after
four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. That's the podcast,
so you listen to what you missed. In a few minutes,
about one fifty or so, we're going to have Carl
Lamayo on. Carl's the Republican Assemblyman, and he and State
Senator Tony Strickland are announcing that they were filing the
(23:48):
California voter ID initiative, and that would require that all
voters prove who they are voter idea requirement. And for
some reason, even though ninety percent of the country in
all demographics approve of these high types of laws, the
(24:10):
far left wing progressives hate them because this makes it
much more difficult to run fraudulent elections. That's the only reason.
You got another reason I feel free, but that's the
only one I could think of. Now, I want to
go back to what Debra brought up here. We were
talking about all her her Soviet style news conference yesterday
(24:35):
where she laid out a bunch of phony statistics and
self congratulated for her performance on reducing homelessness. And of
course the statistics and the Westside Current has a good
story on this had been repeatedly cooked. The book. The
books have been cooked over and over again. You have
(24:55):
everyone from the Rand Corporation, which is an independent think
tank NPR to a federal judge David Carter's audit, they've
all looked at the numbers over the last couple of
years and said, well, these are completely bogus. In fact,
you have a whistleblower employee by name who worked for
Losses saying no, we were under pressure to falsify the
(25:17):
numbers to not make Karen Bass look bad. So how
anybody out, anybody in this city, and I'm looking at
all the TV stations and the radio stations and the
newspapers could report these numbers as fact and broadcasting any
way right about in any way Karen Bass's self congratulations
(25:38):
is just so abhorrent and obnoxious. I don't know why
you people are in the business. But again, it's exactly
what state run media does back in the Old Country
if you go to Cuba. I'm sure Bass has studied
how cashtro pulled it off with the Cuban media, or
how the Russians the Soviets pulled it off with with Pravda.
(26:01):
This is what you do. You cook up a bunch
of phony numbers, and then and did she asked the
media to applaud She asked the press to applaud if
we could get that on tape, so they never brought
up the latest dance she did. Today, Trump announced, well,
(26:22):
the administration announced they're moving two thousand out of the
four thousand National Guard troops out, So there's two thousand
National Guard troops left in LA and seven hundred Marines.
And she presented this as a great win for the resistance.
We drove them out of town. And NEWSSIB was also
(26:44):
speaking in those terms, and I was like, are you
out of your minds? You think you intimidated the Trump
administration into pulling out the National Guard. The writers stopped right.
The riots have been over for several weeks, and eventually
(27:05):
the National Guard moves on to other things. But if
the rioters start up again, those men and women are
going to be back real fast, and the Marines will
be back, and there'll be more Marines and more National
Guard if the locals get out of line. You actually
tried to sell it that you pushed the National Guard
out of LA and then of course the media repeats
(27:30):
all this insanity. A mayor cannot push the National Guard
out of a city. She has no rights, she has
no jurisdiction. We found out now that even the governor
can be overruled by the president on these batters. It
was clearly a presidential decision because everything had calmed down.
(27:54):
They're not going to do ice raids every day, every hour.
They got fifty states to do the raids in, and
they've only got so much manpower. But I can't believe.
I can't believe how she shovels this bull crap and
the media just swarps it up and regurgitates it and
(28:17):
spews it out of us. Yeah, Karen Bass drove out
the National Guard, right. I believe that as much as
her phony, baloney, homeless numbers what you're dealing with with
her and Newsome, these are malignant, sociopaths, narcissists. They just
(28:43):
want the power. They just want the thrill. You imagine
the thrill of spending billions of dollars any way you
want and blowing it and there's no accountability. You imagine
what that must feel like. That's what the two of
them do. They blow billions of dollars, nobody calls.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Them out, but it also it feels you know, Karen
Bass is going to be running for reelection, so we
don't really talk about the fires anymore. We still don't
know the exact cause of the fire in the Palisades.
So of course she's going to tout that the homeless crisis,
that there's two years in a row that the numbers
have gone down, and look look what we did.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
We drove the National Guard out of Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
So these are two big issues out of three that
she's so she's ignoring one of the main things that
happened this year.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Right, She's got two talking points now progress on homelessness,
which is false, and that she drove the National Guard out,
which is false.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
And I wonder how many voters w'll forget about the
fires and go, oh, look look what she did.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Look the homeless. You're homeless on the streets four percent
fewer than last year. And ICE is gone.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Well, we have two thousand fewer National Guards members because
of what our mayor has done.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's right, because she because you know, she went to
MacArthur Park and she started yelling at them, and she
started yelling at the uh. I mean, she is she
you know what she wants. She wants to God and
Newsom wants this too. They want to go Trump into
firing back and somehow upping the ante, maybe send more
(30:23):
National Guard, or provide some financial punishment or some incendiary rhetoric,
because they need him to run against There are so
many truly deranged people in this state and in this
city who when they hear Trump's name or his voice,
any of his policies, they go insane. They're blind with rage,
(30:44):
and then they'll follow Bass and Newsom right over the
cliff and you won't have to worry about the details
of any of the disastrous issues that the two of
them are responsible for. They are going to repeat Trump's
name thousands of times over the next year and a half,
thousands of times to keep everybody from focusing on the fire.
(31:10):
How they've sold out the Palisades, and how they allowed
rioters to run am up and try to kill Ice agents,
and how they've allowed tens of thousands of zombies to
infiltrate Los Angeles whacked out on drugs, mentally ill. And
(31:35):
they get they take billions of dollars, squander the money,
congratulate themselves, and ask the media to applaud Why I
just really direct question to every reporter, editor, producer, writer,
anybody in the media at the Times and all the
(31:55):
television stations. Do you have any shame? Do you have
any embarrassment? Do you have any pride in your profession anymore?
Why do you consistently just regurgitate Bassi Newsom's lives? Why
do you do that? Do you get Do you get
extra I don't know. Do you get extra money for this?
(32:17):
I doubt it, But I guess they're all these died
in the wool ideological progressives and they think they're doing
their part for the religion, for the church they belong in.
All right, we got we got Carl de Myle coming
up next about a voter idea initiative in California.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
SI John Cobelt's show. We're going to talk now to
California Assembly Member Republican Carl de Myle from the San
Diego area. Carl is going to explain how he and
his organization is getting a California voter id initiative on
the ballot. Carl, what's this about?
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Well, this is about restoring public trust and confidence in
our elections, and this should not be a partisan issue.
The Democrat voters, I talked to Republican voters everyone in between.
They all want to know that when.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
We have an election, whoever wins legitimately won. And California
has a very dysfunctional and messed up election system. We
have outdated voter roles, we don't check citizenship when people
are registered to vote, we don't check identification. There's a
bunch of ballot harvesting going on, and so these are
all weak practices that undermine confidence. By having a voter
(33:42):
ID requirement and doing a requirement to verify citizenship for
all registered voters, and holding state state officials and account
and county officials accountable for accurate voter list maintenance, all
of these things are designed to prove confidence. That's why
the Citizen's Initiative is so important.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
The politicians don't want it, but the voters do. Seventy
percent of California voters, according to the polling, want to
vote yes on the voter ID initiative that we filed today.
But we've got to get a million signatures to put
this on the ballot so that people get a chance
to vote on it. And I'm not going to be
able to do that without help. So if you want
me to mail you the petition, I'm happy to do that.
(34:24):
I'll pay for the stamp. I just need you to
request it. Go to the website voter iepetition dot org.
That's voter id petition dot org. You put your your
name on that list. I will send you the petition.
Please sign it, date it, and send it back. We
need a million signatures in one hundred and eighty days
(34:46):
to make this a reality.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
When does the clock start?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
So we filed today and they.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Have a thirty five day review period and then we
are then going to be cleared to actually send these
petitions out to people on or about October first. And
that's why we need people to go to that website
and let us know that they want to be the
first one to receive the petition in the mail. Again,
I'll pay for the postage and the printing. You just
(35:15):
give me your name and your address and we will
send it to you. Go to the website voterdpetition dot org.
And this is not going to happen. N most people
get off the couch and into the puddy. If we
want a better state, if we want to clean up
the politics in this state, we want balance. We've got
to get people citizens engaging in this sort of advocacy
(35:37):
because the special interests don't want this. They like the
broken election system. We need to fix the problem one
person out of time, and it's gonna take all of
us to do that, all right.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Carl, And as we you know, over the next thirty
five days before this officially kicks off, let's talk again
and remind people about this, all right.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Oh yeah, we're going to have a bunch of signature rallies.
And you know we've done this with you before, Jime.
We'd have a lot of fun with a really fun events.
But we will schedule those starting in mid October all
the way to Christmas, where people.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Can come and pick up petitions, turning petitions, find the petition.
It'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Oh, we'll definitely do one. So let's keep talking. Let's
get that plan for the fall. Thank you, Carl, Good
luck with it. All right. It's Carl Demiyo and the
Voter Idea Initiative. And again that's something seventy percent of
the public supports. But the progressive cabal that runs California
and La County, they because they need, especially the ballad harvesting.
(36:39):
They need fake people voting, or illegal aliens voting, or
unregistered people. They need that. They thrive on that. That's
how they got their super majorities. That's how we got
such ironclad one party rule. Of course they'd be against it.
That would be a lot of trouble. When we come back,
(36:59):
We're Oaks is coming on from ABC News to explain
this nineteen state lawsuit against the Trump administration. Trump administration
canceled a certain FEMA program, a pre disaster mitigation program,
and also the Trump administration put new leadership at FEMA,
(37:23):
and these nineteen states are suing, and Royal's gonna explain
why they're suing and whether they have a case, and
why it's important to all of us. We are also
going to maybe check in on Newsom inviting LA Fire
survivors to some kind of press conference. They've come up
(37:44):
with this new platform online called Engaged California, and people
are urged to use their voice to help rebuild the community.
This is another one of these load of crap distraction events,
and we're going to expose it for what it is.
Because Governor Newsom is offering one hundred million dollars for
(38:05):
low income housing. And today there's a bill coming through
the Senate that would allow the City of Los Angeles
to buy up burned out lots and put low income
housing on them in Pacific Palisades. So it's a full bore,
multi pronged movement to block the old homeowners from moving
(38:27):
back into the Palisades and have low income housing towers everywhere. Meantime,
Newsom will do some kind of vaudeville show to distract everybody.
Oh well, I've got engaged California, So everybody couldn't use
their voice to help to help shape the rebuild. We'll
talk about it coming up Debra Mark Live in the
KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
(38:48):
the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
show live on KFI Am six forty from one to
four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can if I am six forty, you're listening to the
John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's the John
coblt Show. Well, I've everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and
we are on every day from one until four o'clock,
so you're right on time, and then every day after
four o'clock if you missed any part of the program.
That's what the podcast is for. John Cobelt's show on
(00:22):
demand on the iHeart app millions of downloads a year,
so there's a lot of people are not fully present
between one and four. But that's why we have this
public service, really, and we can also make extra money
on it as well. Let me let let me start
with something. You know, if I could dance, I would
(00:42):
do And I told you so, dance because I just
told you so just a few days ago and it
turns out to be so true. What did I say
last week? I said, here's three dots. I'm going to
connect them for you. Number One, Karen Bass is slowing
the permits to rebuild in the Palisades. Number two, Scott
(01:05):
Wiener has a bill so low income housing apartment towers
could be built in any normal residential neighborhood. Yeah, and
he's been pushing that through trying for a few years now.
And then the third dot, and there's a fourth dot coming.
(01:26):
The third dot was Gavin Newsom is offering one hundred
and one million dollars so that developers can build low
income housing. Let me say this as plain as I can.
Karen Bass and the La City Council have no interest
(01:46):
in restoring Pacific Palisades to its former state. Zero. Karen
Bass didn't go to Cuba sixteen times so that she
could rebuild a paradi dice for wealthy white homeowners in
the Palisades. That's not on the game plan, all right.
(02:11):
She this is such a rare opportunity for her to
impose her socialist, communist dreams. No way, she's giving it up.
And if you wonder what I'm referring to, go to
the podcast yesterday between one thirty and two. It was
a little primer on Karen Bass's immersion into communist Cuba
(02:36):
under Castro. She spent quite a bit of time there,
working there and working with a revolutionary organization in the
nineteen seventies and it actually this organization trained a number
of terrorists. I don't think Bass ever hit the level
of terrorist, but she did immerse herself in that kind
(02:59):
of rhetoric, and she went to Cuba many many times,
big fan of Fidel Castro, and you have to keep
that in the back of your mind when you look
at her decisions, you look at her behavior. So she
is not expediting the building permits. Scott Wiener would like
(03:27):
all residential neighborhoods to have low income housing apartment towers.
Gavin Newsimith is throwing in one hundred million dollars at
tax money so developers can start building those low income
housing towers. The fourth dot today connected to the third dot,
there is another bill, it's new moving through the legislature
(03:52):
that will allow the City of Los Angeles to buy
lots in the Palisades to build low income housing. Send
it Built five forty nine. Are you listening to me
if you're in the Palisades? Send it Built five forty
nine would allow property taxes to fund what lawmakers are
calling resilient rebuilding authorities. Why doesn't that sound like something
(04:17):
out of the Soviet Union. Resilient rebuilding authorities. These are
government agencies that could buy and this is an LA
magazine the ruined land and get loans to rebuild, and
forty percent of the funding must be earmarked for building
(04:39):
multi unit low income housing on lots where single family
homes once stood in Altadena, Pacific Palisades, Malibu and other areas.
This is separate from Gavin Newsom and is one hundred
and one million dollars to build more life low income housing.
(05:02):
So now you have two major low income housing programs
that have been launched within a week. You have very
few permits. They have done very little to rebuild the
infrastructure in the Palisades, and like I said, I go
there every week or two, sometimes several times in a week.
(05:27):
I've seen repeatedly that nothing is going on there. They
need They didn't. They didn't have the reservoir filled in
right too. Come year and a half, the electrical lines
need to be buried. They're going to build a future Palisades,
you got to put the wires underground. Nothing's happening on
that front. The fire Department is still way underfunded because
(05:52):
Bass defunded the fire department. Police Department is way underfunded
because Bass defunded that agency as well. And now Newsom
now is not only giving one hundred million dollars to
jump start the building of low income housing. The Senate
(06:13):
is going to allow Los Angeles. That would mean Karen
Bass to buy some of the burned out lots and
they'll be able to get the loans. You can't get
the loans and you can't get the insurance if you're
currently living in the Palisades. But the City of Los
Angeles will be able to get the loans and forty
(06:36):
percent will be earmarked for low income housing. Remember, in
this case, a city agency, resilient rebuilding authorities, a city
agency is buying the land. It's not like they're getting
the money and then giving it to developers. They're going
(06:57):
to be the developers with our tax money. And the
Palisades will never be allowed to return to its former state.
People there will never have a chance to rebuild the
homes that they loved. If you don't if you don't
make it so they can have insurance, and if you
(07:18):
don't make it that they can get a permit. And
at the same times, they're so busy, they're going to
be so busy buying lots and hiring builders, and Newsom
is busy handing out money to builders and it's all
about low income housing. It's all about giving poor people
a chance to enjoy life. In the Palisades, you overlook
(07:44):
the ocean, beautiful mountain vistas, cooler weather, very placid way
of life. That's why people moved there and paid so
much money to be there. Well, that's wrong. Bass is
a communist heart Newsom is close behind, and they had
(08:04):
been railing about the wealthy and income inequality all their
miserable lives. Now here's a chance they're not going to
blow it. No way. I told you this was going
to happen. It's happening. Your choice to stop it or not.
This is their dream. This is why they got into politics,
which also leads me to wonder, Wow, when they saw
(08:29):
the Palisades was burning, is that my Bass that didn't
send in the fire department when she got all those
warnings that the Palisades could burn? Is that why she said, Eh,
I'll go to Africa. Whatever happens happens. Is that why
when she landed, she didn't express any grief, shock, empathy.
(08:51):
She just expressed silence. That's why and do some can't
tell the truth either, But that's why he fumbles around
with his answers and makes no sense. They've always wanted
to do this, and they had the right set of circumstances.
(09:15):
They had the warnings and didn't respond. Makes me wonder.
My thoughts about this get darker and darker each day
because everything's fitting into place now too neatly. No insurance,
(09:35):
no permits. We got one bill for one hundred billion dollars,
a second bill that allows low income towers to be
built in every neighborhood. A third bill that would allow
the city to buy the empty lots and build low
income towers. One, two, three, all right, more come up.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Eric. He looks very concerned, But I said, I was
gonna sneeze you just well, I was getting ready to say,
bless you. You did it, so no, bless you, no
bless I don't know where that sneeze went. Something could
just come popping out of me soon. All right. I
saw I saw something today. I was driving into work
(10:29):
and I went to Philly's Best Cheese Steaks, which is
about three miles east down Olive Avenue, and I get
to a traffic light. A couple of blocks short and
there is a very old man eighty plus in a wheelchair,
very frail and thin and weak, and he's trying to
(10:51):
roll his wheelchair. No, he didn't even try to roll
the wheelchair. He's too weak to do that's in the
chair and he's using his feet to slowly push the
chair across. You imagine this, you're sitting in a chair
and you're using your feet in the front trying to
(11:13):
get some leverage.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Did you help him?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I took forever for him to go across Olive Avenue
and then, you know, he tried to get across I
think it was Verdugo. I'm not real familiar with the area.
He then tried to go up a ramp, you know,
a sidewalk ramp, and he went a little bit and
then he rolled back into traffic. And I was at
(11:38):
the light watching this, and then he tried again. He's
rolling back and I called nine to one one.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Oh, okay, so you kind of helped.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I kind of helped. I mean, me running out isn't
going to do anything for him.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
Well, you could have give him a little push, made
life a little easier.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
You'd have another listener to your podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Perhaps I don't think this guy's downloading podcasts. He might
have been one of the original KFI listeners. Here you go.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
He would have been excited if you said, do you
know who I am?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
He would He probably picked up the station. In nineteen
twenty two, I figured I'd call the police, and he
was still trying to make his way down Olive Avenue
along the curb, and I'm thinking, how did it? First
of all, you know in LA nobody would have helped him.
I gotta say Burbank they I guess they said down
(12:33):
somebody right away, and they called me and asked me
had I seen him further because they were aware of
the guy they had stopped him earlier. And the guy said,
it's all right, I'm getting a ride. I guess his
ride didn't show up.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
After I called, they went around looking for him and
they couldn't find him. And I said, well, he can't
be too far away. He was moving at a sales base.
Maybe his ride show up. And I thought, how does
a guy, how do you live your whole life and
you end up like that? Like did? I guess everybody
died on him? Maybe maybe he didn't have kids. Yeah,
maybe the wife died and the friends died. They're all
back in the nursing home. And he was the one
(13:09):
who got loose.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
That's so sad.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Maybe he's got demanchia. Maybe he was a jackass his
whole life and he has no friends and family. Nobody
likes him. Yeah, it's like, oh, and I was thinking,
because you and I always talk about this, It's like,
that's why there's time limit on how long you want
to stay here. Yeah, you know because when somebody said, oh,
you know you're going to live an extra three years, Well,
(13:32):
if that's the three.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Years, it's quality, not quantity.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Give me another cheeseburger and another shot, give me a
cigarette in fact time time to speed up this process.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Well, I mean, that's so lonely and it's hot out.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yeah, so he's in the hot sun. I was like, wow,
So I don't know where the guy is, right.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I think you should have had I think you should
have talked to him, had a discussion with him.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Obviously needed a friend. He might have. You might have
made his whole day, But instead you just called nine
one one.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I called nine and he was calling La nine one one.
Then he really have no chance.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Poor guy.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, what would you would have done.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I would have helped him, I would have tried.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I think I'll call you next time. Okay, uh okay.
Angela McGregor writes for the West Side Current, and she
wrote a great piece on the homeless numbers that Karen
Bass unveiled and all the uh self congratulations that followed,
(14:46):
and Angela has the same reaction I do. I'll tell you,
I don't believe any of their numbers. I think they
are liars and they're full of crap. I don't believe
in their census counts, the way they're walking the streets,
having people put what they see into an app and
(15:07):
then it takes some nine months to count the numbers.
And it's been well reported that there were certain employees
with LASA that did not want to deliver bad news
to the bosses, and so it's full of crap. All
they want is the tax money, and then the tax
(15:27):
money disappears. Please understand still that federal Judge David Carter,
he had an audit done. There's over two billion dollars
on accounted for. He can't figure out where it went.
And that case still stands. In that same situation, nobody
knows where the money went and now they're coming out
(15:48):
claiming three or four percent reduction and giving themselves huge congratulations.
And at the center of this is once again our
favorite psychopath in Bass. She said that the point in
time count makes one thing clear that change is possible.
Bass thanked and congratulated Felicia adams Kellum, who's the uh
(16:16):
head of LASA. But she's on her way out. The
County's pulled out a LASSA. They cut off adams kellum
microphone at a meeting while she was babbling nonsense. And
adams Kellum is the one who gave away two million
dollars of homeless money to her husband's nonprofit. But not
only did Bass thank and congratulate adams Kellum, who lost
(16:39):
track of the two billion dollars. Do you believe that
she loses two billion dollars? And Bass publicly thanks and
congratulates her because that's one of her hires, like Genie Kinonyez.
Then Bass asks the assembled media and lost of employees
(17:03):
to stand and give her a round of applause, A
round of applause. Now did anybody in the media stand
up and do that?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I bet what? I bet you? The LA Times writers
did if they even bothered to cover it the assembled press.
I don't know who the press would have been. I
can't find many stories on this. She lost two billion dollars,
she gave two million dollars to her husband's nonprofit. The
(17:32):
county pulled out. Then nobody believes the numbers. In fact,
you know Adam's Callum resigned. Now Angela McGregor and the
Westside Current points out that we have three council members,
led by Tracy Park, that voted against the city budget
(17:53):
which included hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for LASA,
and the reason Park voted against it, she says, is
a free for all where no one is able to
account for the billions we flushed down the toilet. Tracy
is an intelligent, rational person, and she is correct. We
have flushed billions down the toilet. And now they give
(18:16):
us this half assed point in time count claiming a
three percent drop in homelessness. So instead of seventy five
thousand people in the county, there's seventy two thousand homeless people,
which would account for the number that die every year.
If you add up the death total with the current total,
(18:38):
you get last year's total in the city. That number
declined from forty five thousand to forty three thousand, about
three and a half percent. The one thing they're hanging
on is their claim that with inside Safe, bringing homeless
people inside. And she kept using this phrase over and
(18:59):
over again, bringing people inside. That the percentage of homeless
persons in shelters and motel rooms grew by nine and
a half percent. But that particular program is busted now,
it's out of money. It's remembering, it's worth remembering that
(19:25):
lossa's data from last year was severely questioned. The RAND
Corporation noted that Lasas count in twenty twenty four severely
undercounted the number of homeless in Venice, and then Public
Radio did an investigation and found that nine areas inside
(19:51):
Los Angeles had more than one hundred observations of homelessness
removed from losa's totals by the time the count was finalized.
Save two independent outside organizations that looked at the twenty
twenty four count and said, wait, wait, wait a second,
(20:13):
it's a severe undercount, homeless observations disappeared from the data.
The LA Alliance filed a lawsuit saying Loss's data system
is smoking mirrors. A whistle blower, a whistleblower against LARSA,
Emily Vaughan Harry contended that Adams Kellum requested that requested
(20:43):
that the date on Karen Bass's signature. I'm sorry that
the data on the inside Safe program was manipulated because
Kellum did not want mayor Bass to look bad. I'm
going to repeat that this whistle blower, Emily Vaughn had
She says at Loss's data system is smoking mirrors, and
(21:06):
Adams Kellem requested that data on the inside Safe program
be manipulated because Kellem did not want Mayor Bass to
look bad. So you have NPR the RAND Corporation. A
whistleblower by name who works inside LASA, Tracy park All,
(21:34):
contending that these data accounts of homeless people are just
a load of crap. Really, if you want to summarize it.
But Karen Bass was applauding herself at a press conference
and asked the press and lost employees to stand and applaud.
She feels so comfortable that the local media here will
(21:56):
report whatever she says, that she's not embarrassed to ask
them to applaud. And I guess nobody in the media
took any unbridge up on that. Huh, No, nobody said,
what the hell are you talking about. We're not here
to applaud you and your staff members. Very very Soviet
(22:19):
union like you want the state media to applaud the
leader as they hand out manipulated false data on an
issue that they have stolen a lot of money on
and they have failed at.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
All.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Right, we come back.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Well, John, even yesterday, you know how the Pentagon announced
that two thousand National Guards were leaving. Yeah, right, yeah,
Well Karen Bass was basically saying, we did it right.
This this is something that you know, Dianngelino should be
proud of because we forced them to leave.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, they retreated, right, Yes, they're in retreat. Newsom has
been talking like that too. In fact, one of the
things we got coming up at two point fifteen is
Newsom is going to be holding some kind of press
event communities affected by the immigration rates. So we'll see
(23:17):
next hour. But yeah, we got to talk more about that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
We're on every day from one until four and after
four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand. That's the podcast,
so you listen to what you missed. In a few minutes,
about one fifty or so, we're going to have Carl
Lamayo on. Carl's the Republican Assemblyman, and he and State
Senator Tony Strickland are announcing that they were filing the
(23:48):
California voter ID initiative, and that would require that all
voters prove who they are voter idea requirement. And for
some reason, even though ninety percent of the country in
all demographics approve of these high types of laws, the
(24:10):
far left wing progressives hate them because this makes it
much more difficult to run fraudulent elections. That's the only reason.
You got another reason I feel free, but that's the
only one I could think of. Now, I want to
go back to what Debra brought up here. We were
talking about all her her Soviet style news conference yesterday
(24:35):
where she laid out a bunch of phony statistics and
self congratulated for her performance on reducing homelessness. And of
course the statistics and the Westside Current has a good
story on this had been repeatedly cooked. The book. The
books have been cooked over and over again. You have
(24:55):
everyone from the Rand Corporation, which is an independent think
tank NPR to a federal judge David Carter's audit, they've
all looked at the numbers over the last couple of
years and said, well, these are completely bogus. In fact,
you have a whistleblower employee by name who worked for
Losses saying no, we were under pressure to falsify the
(25:17):
numbers to not make Karen Bass look bad. So how
anybody out, anybody in this city, and I'm looking at
all the TV stations and the radio stations and the
newspapers could report these numbers as fact and broadcasting any
way right about in any way Karen Bass's self congratulations
(25:38):
is just so abhorrent and obnoxious. I don't know why
you people are in the business. But again, it's exactly
what state run media does back in the Old Country
if you go to Cuba. I'm sure Bass has studied
how cashtro pulled it off with the Cuban media, or
how the Russians the Soviets pulled it off with with Pravda.
(26:01):
This is what you do. You cook up a bunch
of phony numbers, and then and did she asked the
media to applaud She asked the press to applaud if
we could get that on tape, so they never brought
up the latest dance she did. Today, Trump announced, well,
(26:22):
the administration announced they're moving two thousand out of the
four thousand National Guard troops out, So there's two thousand
National Guard troops left in LA and seven hundred Marines.
And she presented this as a great win for the resistance.
We drove them out of town. And NEWSSIB was also
(26:44):
speaking in those terms, and I was like, are you
out of your minds? You think you intimidated the Trump
administration into pulling out the National Guard. The writers stopped right.
The riots have been over for several weeks, and eventually
(27:05):
the National Guard moves on to other things. But if
the rioters start up again, those men and women are
going to be back real fast, and the Marines will
be back, and there'll be more Marines and more National
Guard if the locals get out of line. You actually
tried to sell it that you pushed the National Guard
out of LA and then of course the media repeats
(27:30):
all this insanity. A mayor cannot push the National Guard
out of a city. She has no rights, she has
no jurisdiction. We found out now that even the governor
can be overruled by the president on these batters. It
was clearly a presidential decision because everything had calmed down.
(27:54):
They're not going to do ice raids every day, every hour.
They got fifty states to do the raids in, and
they've only got so much manpower. But I can't believe.
I can't believe how she shovels this bull crap and
the media just swarps it up and regurgitates it and
(28:17):
spews it out of us. Yeah, Karen Bass drove out
the National Guard, right. I believe that as much as
her phony, baloney, homeless numbers what you're dealing with with
her and Newsome, these are malignant, sociopaths, narcissists. They just
(28:43):
want the power. They just want the thrill. You imagine
the thrill of spending billions of dollars any way you
want and blowing it and there's no accountability. You imagine
what that must feel like. That's what the two of
them do. They blow billions of dollars, nobody calls.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Them out, but it also it feels you know, Karen
Bass is going to be running for reelection, so we
don't really talk about the fires anymore. We still don't
know the exact cause of the fire in the Palisades.
So of course she's going to tout that the homeless crisis,
that there's two years in a row that the numbers
have gone down, and look look what we did.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
We drove the National Guard out of Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
So these are two big issues out of three that
she's so she's ignoring one of the main things that
happened this year.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Right, She's got two talking points now progress on homelessness,
which is false, and that she drove the National Guard out,
which is false.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
And I wonder how many voters w'll forget about the
fires and go, oh, look look what she did.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Look the homeless. You're homeless on the streets four percent
fewer than last year. And ICE is gone.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Well, we have two thousand fewer National Guards members because
of what our mayor has done.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
That's right, because she because you know, she went to
MacArthur Park and she started yelling at them, and she
started yelling at the uh. I mean, she is she
you know what she wants. She wants to God and
Newsom wants this too. They want to go Trump into
firing back and somehow upping the ante, maybe send more
(30:23):
National Guard, or provide some financial punishment or some incendiary rhetoric,
because they need him to run against There are so
many truly deranged people in this state and in this
city who when they hear Trump's name or his voice,
any of his policies, they go insane. They're blind with rage,
(30:44):
and then they'll follow Bass and Newsom right over the
cliff and you won't have to worry about the details
of any of the disastrous issues that the two of
them are responsible for. They are going to repeat Trump's
name thousands of times over the next year and a half,
thousands of times to keep everybody from focusing on the fire.
(31:10):
How they've sold out the Palisades, and how they allowed
rioters to run am up and try to kill Ice agents,
and how they've allowed tens of thousands of zombies to
infiltrate Los Angeles whacked out on drugs, mentally ill. And
(31:35):
they get they take billions of dollars, squander the money,
congratulate themselves, and ask the media to applaud Why I
just really direct question to every reporter, editor, producer, writer,
anybody in the media at the Times and all the
(31:55):
television stations. Do you have any shame? Do you have
any embarrassment? Do you have any pride in your profession anymore?
Why do you consistently just regurgitate Bassi Newsom's lives? Why
do you do that? Do you get Do you get
extra I don't know. Do you get extra money for this?
(32:17):
I doubt it, But I guess they're all these died
in the wool ideological progressives and they think they're doing
their part for the religion, for the church they belong in.
All right, we got we got Carl de Myle coming
up next about a voter idea initiative in California.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
SI John Cobelt's show. We're going to talk now to
California Assembly Member Republican Carl de Myle from the San
Diego area. Carl is going to explain how he and
his organization is getting a California voter id initiative on
the ballot. Carl, what's this about?
Speaker 6 (33:04):
Well, this is about restoring public trust and confidence in
our elections, and this should not be a partisan issue.
The Democrat voters, I talked to Republican voters everyone in between.
They all want to know that when.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
We have an election, whoever wins legitimately won. And California
has a very dysfunctional and messed up election system. We
have outdated voter roles, we don't check citizenship when people
are registered to vote, we don't check identification. There's a
bunch of ballot harvesting going on, and so these are
all weak practices that undermine confidence. By having a voter
(33:42):
ID requirement and doing a requirement to verify citizenship for
all registered voters, and holding state state officials and account
and county officials accountable for accurate voter list maintenance, all
of these things are designed to prove confidence. That's why
the Citizen's Initiative is so important.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (34:04):
The politicians don't want it, but the voters do. Seventy
percent of California voters, according to the polling, want to
vote yes on the voter ID initiative that we filed today.
But we've got to get a million signatures to put
this on the ballot so that people get a chance
to vote on it. And I'm not going to be
able to do that without help. So if you want
me to mail you the petition, I'm happy to do that.
(34:24):
I'll pay for the stamp. I just need you to
request it. Go to the website voter iepetition dot org.
That's voter id petition dot org. You put your your
name on that list. I will send you the petition.
Please sign it, date it, and send it back. We
need a million signatures in one hundred and eighty days
(34:46):
to make this a reality.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
When does the clock start?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
So we filed today and they.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Have a thirty five day review period and then we
are then going to be cleared to actually send these
petitions out to people on or about October first. And
that's why we need people to go to that website
and let us know that they want to be the
first one to receive the petition in the mail. Again,
I'll pay for the postage and the printing. You just
(35:15):
give me your name and your address and we will
send it to you. Go to the website voterdpetition dot org.
And this is not going to happen. N most people
get off the couch and into the puddy. If we
want a better state, if we want to clean up
the politics in this state, we want balance. We've got
to get people citizens engaging in this sort of advocacy
(35:37):
because the special interests don't want this. They like the
broken election system. We need to fix the problem one
person out of time, and it's gonna take all of
us to do that, all right.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Carl, And as we you know, over the next thirty
five days before this officially kicks off, let's talk again
and remind people about this, all right.
Speaker 6 (35:55):
Oh yeah, we're going to have a bunch of signature rallies.
And you know we've done this with you before, Jime.
We'd have a lot of fun with a really fun events.
But we will schedule those starting in mid October all
the way to Christmas, where people.
Speaker 5 (36:09):
Can come and pick up petitions, turning petitions, find the petition.
It'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Oh, we'll definitely do one. So let's keep talking. Let's
get that plan for the fall. Thank you, Carl, Good
luck with it. All right. It's Carl Demiyo and the
Voter Idea Initiative. And again that's something seventy percent of
the public supports. But the progressive cabal that runs California
and La County, they because they need, especially the ballad harvesting.
(36:39):
They need fake people voting, or illegal aliens voting, or
unregistered people. They need that. They thrive on that. That's
how they got their super majorities. That's how we got
such ironclad one party rule. Of course they'd be against it.
That would be a lot of trouble. When we come back,
(36:59):
We're Oaks is coming on from ABC News to explain
this nineteen state lawsuit against the Trump administration. Trump administration
canceled a certain FEMA program, a pre disaster mitigation program,
and also the Trump administration put new leadership at FEMA,
(37:23):
and these nineteen states are suing, and Royal's gonna explain
why they're suing and whether they have a case, and
why it's important to all of us. We are also
going to maybe check in on Newsom inviting LA Fire
survivors to some kind of press conference. They've come up
(37:44):
with this new platform online called Engaged California, and people
are urged to use their voice to help rebuild the community.
This is another one of these load of crap distraction events,
and we're going to expose it for what it is.
Because Governor Newsom is offering one hundred million dollars for
(38:05):
low income housing. And today there's a bill coming through
the Senate that would allow the City of Los Angeles
to buy up burned out lots and put low income
housing on them in Pacific Palisades. So it's a full bore,
multi pronged movement to block the old homeowners from moving
(38:27):
back into the Palisades and have low income housing towers everywhere. Meantime,
Newsom will do some kind of vaudeville show to distract everybody.
Oh well, I've got engaged California, So everybody couldn't use
their voice to help to help shape the rebuild. We'll
talk about it coming up Debra Mark Live in the
KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
(38:48):
the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
show live on KFI Am six forty from one to
