Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty you're listening to the John coblt
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's good that you're here. We are here one to
four o'clock every day. After four o'clock, it's the podcast
version John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
We are now going to talk about well, we're gonna
talk with Susan Shelling, Southern California newsgroup writer, columnist, and
(00:28):
Susan is going to explain Center Peal seventy nine if
Gavin knew some signs. As I was explaining in the
last segment, you're going to see apartment complexes being built
in your single family residential neighborhood. Depending on where your
neighborhood is located. You have no say in this no vote.
(00:49):
They could be a varying heights depending on the details
of your location. We'll explain some of that, but it
is against the will of most single family owners. I
think it goes without saying that if you spend your
whole life saving and paying off a mortgage and a
(01:12):
single family neighborhood where you raise your family, this is
what you chose, and to have it arbitrarily taken away
by Gavin Newsom, and that that that parasite Scott Wiener,
the state senator in San Francisco, is just wrong and
it's it's abusive, but it may happen. We'll talk with
(01:32):
Susan Shelley now from the Southern California News Group. Susan,
how are you?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I'm great, John, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
All right, tell give us some of the general criteria.
I know, I know it can and can. There could
be a lot of details, but generally these are neighborhoods
within a half mile of a train stop or a
bus stop. That yes, uh? And and how how tall
can these can these complexes be? How many apartments or
(02:00):
condos can be located in them?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Well, they can be seven stories to nine stories. I
think it is if it's half If you are living
within half a mile of a transit stop as defined,
and that as the crow flies not going zigzagging on
the streets half a mile radius around a transit stop,
your single family lot will be automatically, by right rezoned
to be a seven to nine story apartment building. One
(02:26):
single family house could turn into a seven story apartment building.
And what about the people next door to it. They're
going to be living in the construction site, and then
the next house, and the next house in the next
house can be sold, extending the construction site, and all
of a sudden, your single family house is surrounded by
seven to nine story apartment buildings. And here's the best part.
(02:47):
They don't have to have any parking spaces. So you
put one of these up on a single family lot,
and all of a sudden, all the people who live
in there are supposedly going to walk half a mile
to the transit stop, which will of course take them
where they need to go in their whole life, and
so no one will have a car and there won't
be any problems. Really, well, what's going to happen is
you're pretty soon going to have permit parking tow trucks.
(03:10):
It's going to be just a nightmare for everybody who
lives there, and your city can do nothing to stop
this from happening, even if your city council opposes it.
This is by right by state law that a developer
can buy a single family home and turnity to an
apartment building if it's within half a mile of a
(03:31):
transit stop as they define it, and they define it
all the way down to a bus stop. If it's
a dedicated bus lane like a bus rapid transit lane,
so pretty much a bucket of paint and a dedicated
bus lane and a penciled in transit stop where they're
going to put the bus stops, and half a mile
around that is rezoned for apartment buildings. Nobody can stop
(03:52):
it if.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
People people don't know this is coming, because everybody's going
to be against this. This is really abusive and wrong.
I can't believe they have the guts to do this.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
It's horrible. It's horrible, and it's taking away, as you
indicate it, it's taking away the peaceful enjoyment of property
that people spent their whole life savings and their whole
life's earnings to own. It is just taking it away
because developers want to build apartment buildings near transit, and
Scott Weener believes that people should be forced to use transit.
That's the theory behind having no parking spaces, is that
(04:30):
we need more passengers because the transit systems are underwater financially.
It's just totalitarian.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It is. It is, and I've been talking about this
guy for a long time. How much. He hates suburban living,
absolutely despises it. Despises your single family home, your lawn,
your swimming pool, your commute in a car. He hates
it all. And this is about destroying single family neighborhoods.
(04:58):
And this is about God, he knows how much money
that Newsome and Wiener and the rest of them are
getting from developers.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well, it's horrible. But if the governor were to sign it,
and I hope he doesn't, I hope he vetoes it.
But if he were to sign it, there will be
a backlash like we haven't seen in California history. The
first thing that's going to happen is every time somebody
proposes transit, people are going to be in the streets
protesting it like it's the Vietnam War. They're going to
be so upset. They don't want to butt stop, they
(05:29):
don't want to train stop. They're not going to want
a subway, They're not going to want anything. The next
thing you're going to see is people will find out
how easy it is to repeal a local tax increase
for transit, because under nineteen ninety six is Prop two eighteen,
you only need five percent of the number of people
who cast a vote for governor in that jurisdiction, that's
(05:50):
your signature threshold. So in an area where there were
let's say La County had three million votes in the
governor's race, it's like one hundred and fifty thousand signatures.
That's not much for La County. And that's all it
takes to put a repeal of attacks on the about
people don't know that they're about to find out.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
This seems like political suicide. How is he running for
president when he's going to be destroying middle class, single
family neighborhoods is How is that an issue that's going
to take America by storm? On top of a few
minutes ago we just talked about how he vetoed all
the raises for the cal state firefighters.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Well, imagine that he's running in the primaries and there
are pictures out of all of the whole state of California,
especially in Los Angeles where it's already dense. Imagine those
pictures of single family homes being surrounded by construction of
apartment buildings. And he's campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire
and South Carolina and people are saying, you're destroying suburban living.
(06:52):
You're coming after our neighborhoods and our communities and our families,
and he's going to run for president against those pictures.
That's not going to go very well.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Why is he doing this, Well.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Maybe he's not. Maybe he'll detail it. Why the legislature
passed it, I don't know. It got through by one
vote in the state Senate and by one vote in
the Assembly, and everybody who could duck the vote ducked
the vote. And this is highly controversial, absolutely crazy. It's
one of the most extreme things that's ever been done
in California. And that's saying something. But to create this
(07:27):
by right, which is even too much for the La
City Council and the mayor. They opposed it. The city
attorney wrote a memo saying that this would cost one
point six billion dollars for infrastructure and first responders just
to meet the density needs of doing this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh, they'll never hire any new cops or new firefighters.
They're busy defunding the fire and the police here in
Los Angeles this and most people don't know about it.
I bring this up to some people I know, and
every one of them just stares at me. It's like,
what are you talking about? And I said, well, it's
(08:07):
you know, you can get a seven story apartment building
next door to you, and they go no, I go really,
you know it's sitting on the governor's desk. This has
gotten very little publicity, very little coverage.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Well, that is shocking because this is catastrophic. It's by right,
so there's no city process that can stop it or
slow it. They couldn't do this to you. If you
were a spotted owl or a delta smelt, they would
have to have more respect for your habitat than this
bill provides for suburbanites. It's just terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So there's no way to stop this in court.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well, I suppose you could challenge it in court, but
what the laws is is that the city council can't
put in place any kind of an approval process to
look at the impact of these projects. They just have
to approve it ministerially. But certainly there would be I
would have mentioned there would be mitigation, well for all
of it.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Oh well, and this requires massive resistance. I mean, this
requires like individual city councils to say no, we're simply
not doing it. You can roll in the National Guard
we're not going to allow this.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Right now, people can go to the governor's website and
put a message in the contact form that they are
opposed to this, asking him to veto it, and that's it.
Gov dot c A, dot gov, Governor dot California, dot gov,
gov dot ca a dot gov, slash contact and you
can put a message into that system asking the governor
(09:31):
to veto SB seventy nine. It's the worst legislation ever.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's been sitting on his desk for a little bit.
Is he nervous about pulling the trigger here?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
It certainly could be. He should be nervous. This is crazy,
and given that he wants to run for president, the
pictures of what's happening to suburban streets are going to
be just horrible. And this is in all kinds of areas.
And what's worse is it's anything that's planned as well
as anything that exists. So there could be plans for
a bus lane that doesn't exist yet, and within wherever
(10:04):
they put those pencil marks for where the stations are
going to be, draw a circle half mile radius, and
all of that is instantly rezoned for seven story apartment buildings.
If you're within a quarter of a mile. Then if
I think nine stories, it's it's just nine stories next
to a single family home.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Instantly destroying the value of your property.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Or instantly causing all single family homes to go up
in price because they could potentially be a seventh story
apartment building. And then what happens to affordability when individual
families want to buy a home and they're competing with
developers with Wall Street cash, who can put up a
seven story building.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Oh, this is evil, It's horrible, this is evil.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I've never seen local zoning laws completely destroyed like this
in my life.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I didn't think that was legal. I didn't think it
was possible.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
No good reason. What they've done in California is they've
created an artificial boundary called the urban boundary, where they
won't allow suburban development beyond that because they think it's
bad for the climate, which is crazy. It's crazy to
say that building suburbs in California effects for climates. Crazy,
But that's what they've.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Done, all right, Susan Shelley, I think this is going
to be a huge issue if he signs this thing,
So we'll keep talking.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Thank you for coming on, Thanks so much, John.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
All right, Susan Shelley with the Southern California News Group
that is Orange County Register, LA Daily News, and many
many other suburban papers here, and she's also with the
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. We will follow up on this.
This is one of the most important things. There's a
lot going on, but this one is at the top
of the list. If you live in a single family home,
(11:48):
and I know that a huge percentage of our listening
audience does live that way, will continue so you really
understand how bad this is going to be.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
You're listening to co Belt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Well, you know it's hard to constantly hype that this
is important, and that's important, and this is a big deal,
and that's a big deal. But the truth is, we
have such a destructive government on the city, county, and
state level in the Los Angeles area that it can
leave your head spinning and it's hard to keep track
(12:26):
of all the terrible things that are being shoved at us.
But I tell you right now, this is most terrible.
A lot of stuff goes on and it doesn't really
affect your life. This one will. If you live in
a single family residence in California, because your neighborhood's going
to be destroyed. Scott Wiener is a communist out of
(12:51):
San Francisco state senator and he produces a lot of
destructive legislation. He's a fine, a hateful fanatic, and he
hates suburban people. If you're a suburban man, a suburban
woman with a suburban family, he hates you. And I
mean really, I don't use that word lightly. He really
(13:14):
despises you. And as I said to Susan Shelley, he
hates your single family house. He hates your car and
your commute. He hates your lawn, he hates your swimming pool.
You have no right to be taking up that much
land with a single family home and using that water
(13:35):
on your lawn or to fill your pool, and then
driving your car and producing greenhouse gases. And he wants
you stopped. And what the communist plan is is to
shove us all on buses. It really is. So he
(13:56):
devised a bill where within a half mile of a
bus stop or a train station air mile, if you
have a home, it can be replaced by a seven
to nine story apartment building. Your neighbor sells out boom
seven story apartment building. Your other neighbor sells out boom
(14:18):
nine story apartment building. Pretty soon the whole neighborhood gets transformed.
Now there's no parking required because Scott Wiener's idea is
you'll all march in unison to the train station or
the bus stop and get out of the metal tube
and you'll all go together at the same time, because
(14:40):
that's the way he wants the world to run. It's
very communist, and you have many Democrats in the legislature
who hate this idea, knows it's going to cause horrible trouble,
but they're cowards, incredible cowards, although if goods, share of
them are communists too. Communism is about go to the
(15:03):
root word communal. You have a communal train, a communal bus,
a communal building that you all live in. No individual wife,
no backyard, no barbecue. Barbecuing is bad too. It's an
imposition of a totalitarian religion. And I'm sure most people
(15:31):
aren't aware of this, and I'm certainly sure that most
people in these single family neighborhoods don't want it.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
But you have.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You have a real bill sitting on Newsom's desk. God
help him if he signs this thing, and there should
be a backlash. This should be a backlash like nobody's
ever seen before. Shelley Susan Shelley said, there's gonna be
a lot of opposition against any transit construction. You don't
want any more trains or buses designated. And then we
(16:06):
got to start repealing the transit taxes because right now
the trains are just taking illegal aliens, criminals, and homeless
people back and forth all day. Those trains were never
for most normal people anyway. And he's going to run
on this and I have that to point out. I'll
keep repeating it. He vetoed a raise for Cow fire firefighters.
(16:31):
They only make fifty four thousand. He vetoed their rays.
Just in the last hour, news has come along about
two of the most despicable things he's ever done. Denial
raised Cow fire firefighters. And now this bill is on
his desk and everybody's waiting for him to sign it,
(16:53):
and then your neighborhood's in turmoil because somebody will sell
out right away. And there you go, there's a seven
story building and god knows the amount of bribery that
these democratic legislatures legislators have accepted probably a tremendous amount
of bribery that no one will ever be able to track,
because you have voted for a collection of the most disgusting, immoral,
(17:19):
vile legislators that any state or country has ever seen.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It's just terrible. And now they've got your Taxing you
to death isn't enough. They want to destroy your life.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
You can't enjoy your single family neighborhood anymore because they
say so, and you can't get away from them.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
We come back.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Daniel guss On the idiot deputy mayor of Karen Bass
who called in a bomb threat and he's not going
to jail.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Belt Show Live every day one to four and then
the podcast, which is the radio show after four o'clock.
It's posted on the iHeart app. This is crazy. Brian
kay Williams was a deputy mayor for Karen Bass in
charge of public safety would you believe admit the Police
(18:20):
and Fire Department and last October he called in a
bomb threat against La City Hall and it was traced
to Brian K Williams and he was put on an administrative
leave and eventually fired. And now he had the court
(18:41):
case where he pled guilty but.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Got no jail time.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He would have been on duty for the fire on
January seventh, except we were paying him to stay home
because of the bomb threat. So we didn't have a mayor,
and we didn't have a a the mayor public safety,
which is why the Palisades could burn so easily. Literally
nobody was in charge. And now this idiot, uh, you know,
(19:11):
and his his his crime, you know, in some way
is responsible for the Palisades fire getting out of control
because with Bass in Africa, somebody should have taken taken
the reins. And now he's not going to prison. Let's
get Daniel gussn uh, he's gotta gotta what's your substack?
(19:37):
Tell everybody where they can find your writings, Sir.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Joon, I just I just can't believe. I'm at a
loss with my friend Daniel Gus with two s is
Daniel gust substack dot com and on Twitter at the
Gus Report.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Okay, you could read his report on this stuff in detail.
What the hell? Why I didn't start to believe?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Well, John, you know that I write with kind of
a salty style. That's just the nature of this crap is.
You got to deal with adversity with a really twisted
perspective of how this goes on. And I'm at a loss,
and I'll be honest with you, I think there's a
(20:23):
lot more to this than meets the eye. I don't
know when, I don't know how, I don't even know if.
But there's no way you can commit a federal felony
and virtually get less of a penalty in the criminal
justice system than shoplifting at best Buy or Target. That
(20:48):
doesn't work in federal court. It might work at the
local level. But he was struggling with mental illness because
his mom died, or his cousin died. Everybody's mom dies.
Something else is going on here, John.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Do you think what do you think going on?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I think that in the same way. Remember the Remember
the Varsity Blues admission scandal that took down uh, you know,
large Massam Genui and all these other people. That scandal
actually started from a different financial crime that took place
(21:31):
and was handled in the Boston federal courts, which is
why when Lorie Lachlan and the others had to enter
their please she had to fly three thousand miles to
get there. And so sometimes at the federal level, when
somebody gets some sort of very bizarre deal, it might
(21:54):
not necessarily true. It might be because there are other
deals going on behind the means. And who would know
more about the Palisades inferno than Brian K. Williams, Who
would know more about scandals perhaps in the Mark with
(22:14):
Lee Thomas case of the current price case, or or
the or or any of these other things going on.
So I do not have evidence of that, but these
you know what they say, the math ain't mathin. The
math ain't mathin on this, at least not for me.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, this was a felony in US District Court, Central District.
This is Bill of Sale's district.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Mm hm, there doesn't see.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
It doesn't seem to add up that that his office
would let Brian K. Williams go without a day in
jail for calling it a bomb threat that that cleared
out city Hall.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
It doesn't add up, right.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
And what else doesn't add up? And a Sale is
doing no matter what people think about Bill a Sale,
he's doing precisely what he was appointed to do. So
how did his office apparently recommend to the judge two
years of probation. This should be a ten to fifteen
to twenty year prison sentence regardless of a clean record.
(23:15):
This doesn't make sense. So Assale's office recommended two years
of probation for this, and somehow they settled on one.
He is virtually being non published punished by Yes, he's
a felon, he'll lose his he'll be dispard from the
state bar of California. But I have worse news for
(23:36):
the John Cobalt audience. John. He's actually there's a law
called the Public Employees Pension Reform Act PEPRA p EPR,
which says that roughly for the past decade or so,
if you collected a if you have accrued a public pension,
(23:56):
you will forfeit that public pension from the date of
your crimes moving forward. And what that means He's not
only going to continue receiving his pension for the six
hundred some odd days before his crime, which is all
of his city pension as far as I can tell,
(24:17):
Brian K. Williams is also going to keep collecting and
it's probably collecting now his six years of pension from
when he worked at the County. So we are going
to be funding an early retirement for Brian K. Williams.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I thought working from home was a privilege. He's actually
going to be able to sit at home in Pasadena
and collect apparently two pensions from the taxpayers in California.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I hope you're right and that he's given a lot
of evidence about all the other crimes going on in
the Bass administration, because on its face, on its face,
this is just this is a fensive.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah, this really is awful.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I love how in the in your story today you
reprint Karen Bass's press release from February seventh and twenty
twenty three announcing that Williams was going to be Deputy
Mayor of Public Safety, and she says in the press release,
my number one job as mayor is to keep Angelino safe.
The only way to do that is to hold people
(25:21):
who commit crimes accountable. Well, and the guy that she appointed,
the subject of the press release, commits a terrible felony,
I'll calling it a fake bob threat and gets nothing,
gets nothing.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
John, What do you think the government would call for
my sentence if I did something like that or pulled
a fire alarm in city Hall. What do you think
John put the underground at the supermax in Colorado? And
(25:58):
he's so he's so connected not only to Bass, but
to people at the county where he worked for six
years and he had a law practice. And by the way,
you know what's fun It'll be deleted the moment that
I see this. Go to Brian K. Williams LinkedIn page,
and you'll see all the people that have endorsed him,
(26:20):
ninety nine of them didn't unindorse him, nineteen of whom
worked for the City of Los Angeles. So everybody now
can run. Don't worry, everybody. I saved the PDF of it,
all of the people who have endorsed Federal fell and
Brian K. Williams and didn't unindorse him on LinkedIn just
(26:41):
like this is insanity, and nobody is better positioned than
Brian K. Williams to to flip. I don't know if
he's splipping. I want to be.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I don't know, but that's the only thing that would
make you say, oh it now, this makes sense.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Otherwise it makes zero sense.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Right. He may know more. Oh gee, I'm not saying
this is happening. He may know a lot more about
the things like it's the curring price case. I don't know,
I have no proof of it.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
But a world of homeless money. The two billion in
homeless money, well, that.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Sounds like a likely thing, doesn't it. You know? I
also hear little little rumors about an earlier deal at
the convention Center. Not this recent expansion or renovation thing.
I've been hearing about other things going on in the
at the convention Center. That that that that could get
the city sued by a big sports and entertainment organization
(27:41):
whose name is on every ticket in southern California. I
would like to know what Brian K. Williams not only
knows about that two billion dollars, I would like to
know what he knows about the Olympics and public safety.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
There all right, deals, Daniel, I gotta go. I hate
to interrupt, but Deborah's gotta do the news. It is
good having you on. Thank you very much, time, John
having all right, Daniel, you're listening.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
To John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
After Debrah's News about three or five, Carl Demio is
coming on with ladies and assemblymen. He has reformed California.
This organization trying to roll back all the insanity in
this state and they are hosting rallies all over the
state tomorrow. There's locations where you could sign the petition
(28:41):
for the Voter Idea Initiative to get it on the ballot,
where we'd all have to show our ID before we vote.
Absolutely necessary. Also you can pick up materials for No
on fifty. No on Prop fifty. He's got material there
to spread the word. There are locations all over La County, Ventura,
(29:05):
Orange County, San Diego County, and San Bernardino as well
throughout the Inland Empire. And for that list, you can
go to our Twitter or our ex site, John Cobelt
Radio right at John Cobelt Radio. Yes, it's also in
our Instagram stories as well now and Instagram stories as well.
(29:25):
And then you go to these locations and Carl's people
will have you sign petitions to get the Voter Idea
Initiative on the ballot. And we're going to talk to
Carl coming up in minutes. And you can also get
some materials for the no on Prop fifty campaign. Also
coming up, we're going to finally get to playing some
of the clips about Pam BONDI getting into multiple arguments
(29:49):
with Democrats who are trying to corner her on Epstein
and Trump, and she started bringing out the heavy ammunition,
reminding them of all their personal scandals. One thing I
want to touch on just for a minute here, and
we'll get more in detail tomorrow. I've told you how
(30:10):
terrible Santa Monica has become. Number one reason is mental
patients and drug addicts running amok. And Ocean Avenue runs
right along the edge of Santa Monica overlooks the ocean
along a cliff. Palisades Park is on one side of
Ocean Avenue, and there are apartment buildings and hotels on
(30:32):
the other side of Ocean Avenue, and there is a
senior home that's been closed and it's going to reopen
in about a month and it's going to be a
forty seven unit. This has got a really benign title,
Santa Monica Behavioral Health Wellness Center, and it's going to
serve people with serious mental illness. This is a Saint
(30:57):
Joseph center with the LA County Department of Mental Health.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
And so now you know it's already difficult to walk.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Along Palisades Park and down Ocean Avenue and just stand
there and watch the sunset or look out over the beach,
because there are so many homeless maniacs in the park
now and occasionally they kill people. And we had the
mayor on landon to Grete and I was telling her
of a terrible you know it's becoming.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
She agreed.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well, she says that the city had no idea this
was coming, and she says, they have no control over this.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
It's not a locked facility, it's not a hospital.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So if they the patients want to water off for lunch,
if they want to go to the park, leave the program,
nobody's forcing them to stay. So they're going to be
and they're going to be meandering in the neighborhood and
it's not safe for them or the people around if
they have a psychosis break outside.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
It's a high acuity mental illness center.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
So as if Santa Monica hasn't enough problems on Ocean
Avenue with with Palisades Park, they're gonna have dozens of
severely mentally ill people walking around all day with nobody
watching them.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Ah, I what do you do?
Speaker 3 (32:25):
What is everybody doing?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
You got newsome destroying single family neighborhoods on one end,
and in Santa Monica, the county is dumping mentally ill
people by the dozens into the street. Basically, they're not
gonna stay in there. Whatever this is, what do they
call it?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
That everybody's corrupted, the language, the behavior, A health bridge
housing program. They're using state money for this. Bet we're
gonna talk more about this tomorrow as well. There's too
much stuff, not enough time. Carl Demayo's next. I want
(33:08):
to play clips of the Pambondi hearing and who knows
what atrocity will cross the wires in the next ten minutes.
Deborah Mark Live the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to 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't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty you're listening to the John coblt
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
How are you.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
It's good that you're here. We are here one to
four o'clock every day. After four o'clock, it's the podcast
version John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
We are now going to talk about well, we're gonna
talk with Susan Shelling, Southern California newsgroup writer, columnist, and
(00:28):
Susan is going to explain Center Peal seventy nine if
Gavin knew some signs. As I was explaining in the
last segment, you're going to see apartment complexes being built
in your single family residential neighborhood. Depending on where your
neighborhood is located. You have no say in this no vote.
(00:49):
They could be a varying heights depending on the details
of your location. We'll explain some of that, but it
is against the will of most single family owners. I
think it goes without saying that if you spend your
whole life saving and paying off a mortgage and a
(01:12):
single family neighborhood where you raise your family, this is
what you chose, and to have it arbitrarily taken away
by Gavin Newsom, and that that that parasite Scott Wiener,
the state senator in San Francisco, is just wrong and
it's it's abusive, but it may happen. We'll talk with
(01:32):
Susan Shelley now from the Southern California News Group. Susan,
how are you?
Speaker 4 (01:36):
I'm great, John, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
All right, tell give us some of the general criteria.
I know, I know it can and can. There could
be a lot of details, but generally these are neighborhoods
within a half mile of a train stop or a
bus stop. That yes, uh? And and how how tall
can these can these complexes be? How many apartments or
(02:00):
condos can be located in them?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Well, they can be seven stories to nine stories. I
think it is if it's half If you are living
within half a mile of a transit stop as defined,
and that as the crow flies not going zigzagging on
the streets half a mile radius around a transit stop,
your single family lot will be automatically, by right rezoned
to be a seven to nine story apartment building. One
(02:26):
single family house could turn into a seven story apartment building.
And what about the people next door to it. They're
going to be living in the construction site, and then
the next house, and the next house in the next
house can be sold, extending the construction site, and all
of a sudden, your single family house is surrounded by
seven to nine story apartment buildings. And here's the best part.
(02:47):
They don't have to have any parking spaces. So you
put one of these up on a single family lot,
and all of a sudden, all the people who live
in there are supposedly going to walk half a mile
to the transit stop, which will of course take them
where they need to go in their whole life, and
so no one will have a car and there won't
be any problems. Really, well, what's going to happen is
you're pretty soon going to have permit parking tow trucks.
(03:10):
It's going to be just a nightmare for everybody who
lives there, and your city can do nothing to stop
this from happening, even if your city council opposes it.
This is by right by state law that a developer
can buy a single family home and turnity to an
apartment building if it's within half a mile of a
(03:31):
transit stop as they define it, and they define it
all the way down to a bus stop. If it's
a dedicated bus lane like a bus rapid transit lane,
so pretty much a bucket of paint and a dedicated
bus lane and a penciled in transit stop where they're
going to put the bus stops, and half a mile
around that is rezoned for apartment buildings. Nobody can stop
(03:52):
it if.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
People people don't know this is coming, because everybody's going
to be against this. This is really abusive and wrong.
I can't believe they have the guts to do this.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
It's horrible. It's horrible, and it's taking away, as you
indicate it, it's taking away the peaceful enjoyment of property
that people spent their whole life savings and their whole
life's earnings to own. It is just taking it away
because developers want to build apartment buildings near transit, and
Scott Weener believes that people should be forced to use transit.
That's the theory behind having no parking spaces, is that
(04:30):
we need more passengers because the transit systems are underwater financially.
It's just totalitarian.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
It is. It is, and I've been talking about this
guy for a long time. How much. He hates suburban living,
absolutely despises it. Despises your single family home, your lawn,
your swimming pool, your commute in a car. He hates
it all. And this is about destroying single family neighborhoods.
(04:58):
And this is about God, he knows how much money
that Newsome and Wiener and the rest of them are
getting from developers.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well, it's horrible. But if the governor were to sign it,
and I hope he doesn't, I hope he vetoes it.
But if he were to sign it, there will be
a backlash like we haven't seen in California history. The
first thing that's going to happen is every time somebody
proposes transit, people are going to be in the streets
protesting it like it's the Vietnam War. They're going to
be so upset. They don't want to butt stop, they
(05:29):
don't want to train stop. They're not going to want
a subway, They're not going to want anything. The next
thing you're going to see is people will find out
how easy it is to repeal a local tax increase
for transit, because under nineteen ninety six is Prop two eighteen,
you only need five percent of the number of people
who cast a vote for governor in that jurisdiction, that's
(05:50):
your signature threshold. So in an area where there were
let's say La County had three million votes in the
governor's race, it's like one hundred and fifty thousand signatures.
That's not much for La County. And that's all it
takes to put a repeal of attacks on the about
people don't know that they're about to find out.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
This seems like political suicide. How is he running for
president when he's going to be destroying middle class, single
family neighborhoods is How is that an issue that's going
to take America by storm? On top of a few
minutes ago we just talked about how he vetoed all
the raises for the cal state firefighters.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Well, imagine that he's running in the primaries and there
are pictures out of all of the whole state of California,
especially in Los Angeles where it's already dense. Imagine those
pictures of single family homes being surrounded by construction of
apartment buildings. And he's campaigning in Iowa and New Hampshire
and South Carolina and people are saying, you're destroying suburban living.
(06:52):
You're coming after our neighborhoods and our communities and our families,
and he's going to run for president against those pictures.
That's not going to go very well.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Why is he doing this, Well.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Maybe he's not. Maybe he'll detail it. Why the legislature
passed it, I don't know. It got through by one
vote in the state Senate and by one vote in
the Assembly, and everybody who could duck the vote ducked
the vote. And this is highly controversial, absolutely crazy. It's
one of the most extreme things that's ever been done
in California. And that's saying something. But to create this
(07:27):
by right, which is even too much for the La
City Council and the mayor. They opposed it. The city
attorney wrote a memo saying that this would cost one
point six billion dollars for infrastructure and first responders just
to meet the density needs of doing this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh, they'll never hire any new cops or new firefighters.
They're busy defunding the fire and the police here in
Los Angeles this and most people don't know about it.
I bring this up to some people I know, and
every one of them just stares at me. It's like,
what are you talking about? And I said, well, it's
(08:07):
you know, you can get a seven story apartment building
next door to you, and they go no, I go really,
you know it's sitting on the governor's desk. This has
gotten very little publicity, very little coverage.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Well, that is shocking because this is catastrophic. It's by right,
so there's no city process that can stop it or
slow it. They couldn't do this to you. If you
were a spotted owl or a delta smelt, they would
have to have more respect for your habitat than this
bill provides for suburbanites. It's just terrible.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
So there's no way to stop this in court.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Well, I suppose you could challenge it in court, but
what the laws is is that the city council can't
put in place any kind of an approval process to
look at the impact of these projects. They just have
to approve it ministerially. But certainly there would be I
would have mentioned there would be mitigation, well for all
of it.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Oh well, and this requires massive resistance. I mean, this
requires like individual city councils to say no, we're simply
not doing it. You can roll in the National Guard
we're not going to allow this.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Right now, people can go to the governor's website and
put a message in the contact form that they are
opposed to this, asking him to veto it, and that's it.
Gov dot c A, dot gov, Governor dot California, dot gov,
gov dot ca a dot gov, slash contact and you
can put a message into that system asking the governor
(09:31):
to veto SB seventy nine. It's the worst legislation ever.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
It's been sitting on his desk for a little bit.
Is he nervous about pulling the trigger here?
Speaker 4 (09:42):
It certainly could be. He should be nervous. This is crazy,
and given that he wants to run for president, the
pictures of what's happening to suburban streets are going to
be just horrible. And this is in all kinds of areas.
And what's worse is it's anything that's planned as well
as anything that exists. So there could be plans for
a bus lane that doesn't exist yet, and within wherever
(10:04):
they put those pencil marks for where the stations are
going to be, draw a circle half mile radius, and
all of that is instantly rezoned for seven story apartment buildings.
If you're within a quarter of a mile. Then if
I think nine stories, it's it's just nine stories next
to a single family home.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Instantly destroying the value of your property.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Or instantly causing all single family homes to go up
in price because they could potentially be a seventh story
apartment building. And then what happens to affordability when individual
families want to buy a home and they're competing with
developers with Wall Street cash, who can put up a
seven story building.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Oh, this is evil, It's horrible, this is evil.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I've never seen local zoning laws completely destroyed like this
in my life.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I didn't think that was legal. I didn't think it
was possible.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
No good reason. What they've done in California is they've
created an artificial boundary called the urban boundary, where they
won't allow suburban development beyond that because they think it's
bad for the climate, which is crazy. It's crazy to
say that building suburbs in California effects for climates. Crazy,
But that's what they've.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Done, all right, Susan Shelley, I think this is going
to be a huge issue if he signs this thing,
So we'll keep talking.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Thank you for coming on, Thanks so much, John.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
All right, Susan Shelley with the Southern California News Group
that is Orange County Register, LA Daily News, and many
many other suburban papers here, and she's also with the
Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association. We will follow up on this.
This is one of the most important things. There's a
lot going on, but this one is at the top
of the list. If you live in a single family home,
(11:48):
and I know that a huge percentage of our listening
audience does live that way, will continue so you really
understand how bad this is going to be.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
You're listening to co Belt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Well, you know it's hard to constantly hype that this
is important, and that's important, and this is a big deal,
and that's a big deal. But the truth is, we
have such a destructive government on the city, county, and
state level in the Los Angeles area that it can
leave your head spinning and it's hard to keep track
(12:26):
of all the terrible things that are being shoved at us.
But I tell you right now, this is most terrible.
A lot of stuff goes on and it doesn't really
affect your life. This one will. If you live in
a single family residence in California, because your neighborhood's going
to be destroyed. Scott Wiener is a communist out of
(12:51):
San Francisco state senator and he produces a lot of
destructive legislation. He's a fine, a hateful fanatic, and he
hates suburban people. If you're a suburban man, a suburban
woman with a suburban family, he hates you. And I
mean really, I don't use that word lightly. He really
(13:14):
despises you. And as I said to Susan Shelley, he
hates your single family house. He hates your car and
your commute. He hates your lawn, he hates your swimming pool.
You have no right to be taking up that much
land with a single family home and using that water
(13:35):
on your lawn or to fill your pool, and then
driving your car and producing greenhouse gases. And he wants
you stopped. And what the communist plan is is to
shove us all on buses. It really is. So he
(13:56):
devised a bill where within a half mile of a
bus stop or a train station air mile, if you
have a home, it can be replaced by a seven
to nine story apartment building. Your neighbor sells out boom
seven story apartment building. Your other neighbor sells out boom
(14:18):
nine story apartment building. Pretty soon the whole neighborhood gets transformed.
Now there's no parking required because Scott Wiener's idea is
you'll all march in unison to the train station or
the bus stop and get out of the metal tube
and you'll all go together at the same time, because
(14:40):
that's the way he wants the world to run. It's
very communist, and you have many Democrats in the legislature
who hate this idea, knows it's going to cause horrible trouble,
but they're cowards, incredible cowards, although if goods, share of
them are communists too. Communism is about go to the
(15:03):
root word communal. You have a communal train, a communal bus,
a communal building that you all live in. No individual wife,
no backyard, no barbecue. Barbecuing is bad too. It's an
imposition of a totalitarian religion. And I'm sure most people
(15:31):
aren't aware of this, and I'm certainly sure that most
people in these single family neighborhoods don't want it.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
But you have.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
You have a real bill sitting on Newsom's desk. God
help him if he signs this thing, and there should
be a backlash. This should be a backlash like nobody's
ever seen before. Shelley Susan Shelley said, there's gonna be
a lot of opposition against any transit construction. You don't
want any more trains or buses designated. And then we
(16:06):
got to start repealing the transit taxes because right now
the trains are just taking illegal aliens, criminals, and homeless
people back and forth all day. Those trains were never
for most normal people anyway. And he's going to run
on this and I have that to point out. I'll
keep repeating it. He vetoed a raise for Cow fire firefighters.
(16:31):
They only make fifty four thousand. He vetoed their rays.
Just in the last hour, news has come along about
two of the most despicable things he's ever done. Denial
raised Cow fire firefighters. And now this bill is on
his desk and everybody's waiting for him to sign it,
(16:53):
and then your neighborhood's in turmoil because somebody will sell
out right away. And there you go, there's a seven
story building and god knows the amount of bribery that
these democratic legislatures legislators have accepted probably a tremendous amount
of bribery that no one will ever be able to track,
because you have voted for a collection of the most disgusting, immoral,
(17:19):
vile legislators that any state or country has ever seen.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
It's just terrible. And now they've got your Taxing you
to death isn't enough. They want to destroy your life.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
You can't enjoy your single family neighborhood anymore because they
say so, and you can't get away from them.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
We come back.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Daniel guss On the idiot deputy mayor of Karen Bass
who called in a bomb threat and he's not going
to jail.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
Belt Show Live every day one to four and then
the podcast, which is the radio show after four o'clock.
It's posted on the iHeart app. This is crazy. Brian
kay Williams was a deputy mayor for Karen Bass in
charge of public safety would you believe admit the Police
(18:20):
and Fire Department and last October he called in a
bomb threat against La City Hall and it was traced
to Brian K Williams and he was put on an administrative
leave and eventually fired. And now he had the court
(18:41):
case where he pled guilty but.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Got no jail time.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
He would have been on duty for the fire on
January seventh, except we were paying him to stay home
because of the bomb threat. So we didn't have a mayor,
and we didn't have a a the mayor public safety,
which is why the Palisades could burn so easily. Literally
nobody was in charge. And now this idiot, uh, you know,
(19:11):
and his his his crime, you know, in some way
is responsible for the Palisades fire getting out of control
because with Bass in Africa, somebody should have taken taken
the reins. And now he's not going to prison. Let's
get Daniel gussn uh, he's gotta gotta what's your substack?
(19:37):
Tell everybody where they can find your writings, Sir.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Joon, I just I just can't believe. I'm at a
loss with my friend Daniel Gus with two s is
Daniel gust substack dot com and on Twitter at the
Gus Report.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Okay, you could read his report on this stuff in detail.
What the hell? Why I didn't start to believe?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Well, John, you know that I write with kind of
a salty style. That's just the nature of this crap is.
You got to deal with adversity with a really twisted
perspective of how this goes on. And I'm at a loss,
and I'll be honest with you, I think there's a
(20:23):
lot more to this than meets the eye. I don't
know when, I don't know how, I don't even know if.
But there's no way you can commit a federal felony
and virtually get less of a penalty in the criminal
justice system than shoplifting at best Buy or Target. That
(20:48):
doesn't work in federal court. It might work at the
local level. But he was struggling with mental illness because
his mom died, or his cousin died. Everybody's mom dies.
Something else is going on here, John.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Do you think what do you think going on?
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I think that in the same way. Remember the Remember
the Varsity Blues admission scandal that took down uh, you know,
large Massam Genui and all these other people. That scandal
actually started from a different financial crime that took place
(21:31):
and was handled in the Boston federal courts, which is
why when Lorie Lachlan and the others had to enter
their please she had to fly three thousand miles to
get there. And so sometimes at the federal level, when
somebody gets some sort of very bizarre deal, it might
(21:54):
not necessarily true. It might be because there are other
deals going on behind the means. And who would know
more about the Palisades inferno than Brian K. Williams, Who
would know more about scandals perhaps in the Mark with
(22:14):
Lee Thomas case of the current price case, or or
the or or any of these other things going on.
So I do not have evidence of that, but these
you know what they say, the math ain't mathin. The
math ain't mathin on this, at least not for me.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, this was a felony in US District Court, Central District.
This is Bill of Sale's district.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Mm hm, there doesn't see.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
It doesn't seem to add up that that his office
would let Brian K. Williams go without a day in
jail for calling it a bomb threat that that cleared
out city Hall.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
It doesn't add up, right.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
And what else doesn't add up? And a Sale is
doing no matter what people think about Bill a Sale,
he's doing precisely what he was appointed to do. So
how did his office apparently recommend to the judge two
years of probation. This should be a ten to fifteen
to twenty year prison sentence regardless of a clean record.
(23:15):
This doesn't make sense. So Assale's office recommended two years
of probation for this, and somehow they settled on one.
He is virtually being non published punished by Yes, he's
a felon, he'll lose his he'll be dispard from the
state bar of California. But I have worse news for
(23:36):
the John Cobalt audience. John. He's actually there's a law
called the Public Employees Pension Reform Act PEPRA p EPR,
which says that roughly for the past decade or so,
if you collected a if you have accrued a public pension,
(23:56):
you will forfeit that public pension from the date of
your crimes moving forward. And what that means He's not
only going to continue receiving his pension for the six
hundred some odd days before his crime, which is all
of his city pension as far as I can tell,
(24:17):
Brian K. Williams is also going to keep collecting and
it's probably collecting now his six years of pension from
when he worked at the County. So we are going
to be funding an early retirement for Brian K. Williams.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I thought working from home was a privilege. He's actually
going to be able to sit at home in Pasadena
and collect apparently two pensions from the taxpayers in California.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I hope you're right and that he's given a lot
of evidence about all the other crimes going on in
the Bass administration, because on its face, on its face,
this is just this is a fensive.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Yeah, this really is awful.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
I love how in the in your story today you
reprint Karen Bass's press release from February seventh and twenty
twenty three announcing that Williams was going to be Deputy
Mayor of Public Safety, and she says in the press release,
my number one job as mayor is to keep Angelino safe.
The only way to do that is to hold people
(25:21):
who commit crimes accountable. Well, and the guy that she appointed,
the subject of the press release, commits a terrible felony,
I'll calling it a fake bob threat and gets nothing,
gets nothing.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
John, What do you think the government would call for
my sentence if I did something like that or pulled
a fire alarm in city Hall. What do you think
John put the underground at the supermax in Colorado? And
(25:58):
he's so he's so connected not only to Bass, but
to people at the county where he worked for six
years and he had a law practice. And by the way,
you know what's fun It'll be deleted the moment that
I see this. Go to Brian K. Williams LinkedIn page,
and you'll see all the people that have endorsed him,
(26:20):
ninety nine of them didn't unindorse him, nineteen of whom
worked for the City of Los Angeles. So everybody now
can run. Don't worry, everybody. I saved the PDF of it,
all of the people who have endorsed Federal fell and
Brian K. Williams and didn't unindorse him on LinkedIn just
(26:41):
like this is insanity, and nobody is better positioned than
Brian K. Williams to to flip. I don't know if
he's splipping. I want to be.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
I don't know, but that's the only thing that would
make you say, oh it now, this makes sense.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Otherwise it makes zero sense.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Right. He may know more. Oh gee, I'm not saying
this is happening. He may know a lot more about
the things like it's the curring price case. I don't know,
I have no proof of it.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
But a world of homeless money. The two billion in
homeless money, well, that.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Sounds like a likely thing, doesn't it. You know? I
also hear little little rumors about an earlier deal at
the convention Center. Not this recent expansion or renovation thing.
I've been hearing about other things going on in the
at the convention Center. That that that that could get
the city sued by a big sports and entertainment organization
(27:41):
whose name is on every ticket in southern California. I
would like to know what Brian K. Williams not only
knows about that two billion dollars, I would like to
know what he knows about the Olympics and public safety.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
There all right, deals, Daniel, I gotta go. I hate
to interrupt, but Deborah's gotta do the news. It is
good having you on. Thank you very much, time, John
having all right, Daniel, you're listening.
Speaker 5 (28:10):
To John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
After Debrah's News about three or five, Carl Demio is
coming on with ladies and assemblymen. He has reformed California.
This organization trying to roll back all the insanity in
this state and they are hosting rallies all over the
state tomorrow. There's locations where you could sign the petition
(28:41):
for the Voter Idea Initiative to get it on the ballot,
where we'd all have to show our ID before we vote.
Absolutely necessary. Also you can pick up materials for No
on fifty. No on Prop fifty. He's got material there
to spread the word. There are locations all over La County, Ventura,
(29:05):
Orange County, San Diego County, and San Bernardino as well
throughout the Inland Empire. And for that list, you can
go to our Twitter or our ex site, John Cobelt
Radio right at John Cobelt Radio. Yes, it's also in
our Instagram stories as well now and Instagram stories as well.
(29:25):
And then you go to these locations and Carl's people
will have you sign petitions to get the Voter Idea
Initiative on the ballot. And we're going to talk to
Carl coming up in minutes. And you can also get
some materials for the no on Prop fifty campaign. Also
coming up, we're going to finally get to playing some
of the clips about Pam BONDI getting into multiple arguments
(29:49):
with Democrats who are trying to corner her on Epstein
and Trump, and she started bringing out the heavy ammunition,
reminding them of all their personal scandals. One thing I
want to touch on just for a minute here, and
we'll get more in detail tomorrow. I've told you how
(30:10):
terrible Santa Monica has become. Number one reason is mental
patients and drug addicts running amok. And Ocean Avenue runs
right along the edge of Santa Monica overlooks the ocean
along a cliff. Palisades Park is on one side of
Ocean Avenue, and there are apartment buildings and hotels on
(30:32):
the other side of Ocean Avenue, and there is a
senior home that's been closed and it's going to reopen
in about a month and it's going to be a
forty seven unit. This has got a really benign title,
Santa Monica Behavioral Health Wellness Center, and it's going to
serve people with serious mental illness. This is a Saint
(30:57):
Joseph center with the LA County Department of Mental Health.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
And so now you know it's already difficult to walk.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Along Palisades Park and down Ocean Avenue and just stand
there and watch the sunset or look out over the beach,
because there are so many homeless maniacs in the park
now and occasionally they kill people. And we had the
mayor on landon to Grete and I was telling her
of a terrible you know it's becoming.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
She agreed.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
Well, she says that the city had no idea this
was coming, and she says, they have no control over this.
Speaker 3 (31:39):
It's not a locked facility, it's not a hospital.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So if they the patients want to water off for lunch,
if they want to go to the park, leave the program,
nobody's forcing them to stay. So they're going to be
and they're going to be meandering in the neighborhood and
it's not safe for them or the people around if
they have a psychosis break outside.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
It's a high acuity mental illness center.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
So as if Santa Monica hasn't enough problems on Ocean
Avenue with with Palisades Park, they're gonna have dozens of
severely mentally ill people walking around all day with nobody
watching them.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Ah, I what do you do?
Speaker 3 (32:25):
What is everybody doing?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
You got newsome destroying single family neighborhoods on one end,
and in Santa Monica, the county is dumping mentally ill
people by the dozens into the street. Basically, they're not
gonna stay in there. Whatever this is, what do they
call it?
Speaker 3 (32:47):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (32:48):
That everybody's corrupted, the language, the behavior, A health bridge
housing program. They're using state money for this. Bet we're
gonna talk more about this tomorrow as well. There's too
much stuff, not enough time. Carl Demayo's next. I want
(33:08):
to play clips of the Pambondi hearing and who knows
what atrocity will cross the wires in the next ten minutes.
