Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can if I am six forty, you're listening to the
John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's always entertaining
watching me sitting in an empty room talking on the phone. Right,
That's that's great TV there, all right, people love it,
they do love it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, all right, John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
And yes, we're live on Instagram for this next segment
if I am six forty and also live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And we're on from one to four
after four o'clock the iHeart app as the John Cobelt
on Dement Podcast. So there you're caught up on all
the different ways you can hear this. We are now
going to talk with one of the strong candidates for
(00:39):
La County District Attorney against George Gascon, Eric Sadal. He's
a deputy district attorney. He is also the vice president
of the Assistant Deputy Left. Let's get the title of
this organization wrong. We get Eric on so you could
give it the proper title. It's these Snociation of Deputy
(01:01):
District Attorneys, right.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, that's right, something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So you know, I think this is Look, I think
I've been on your show for about five or six years.
This is this is the first time we don't have
ken on.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's a bit of a shock for me.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's why I can get easily confused. Introducing guests, Eric,
how is it doing that debate? I know you've done
other debates. This one was live streamed at LA mag
dot com. It was really an interesting fast pace event.
How was it for you last week going up against Gascone?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, you know, it was interesting because I really do
think it kind of showed the three different paths that
LA can take. Uh, you know, most of the people
that are running don't really have a path forward. George
Gascone has you know, has no path forward either. And
then you know, you all his little mini me next
(02:01):
to him, that guy doesn't have any path forward either. Yeah,
so you know it's it's it's uh, are.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You the one? Were you the one who called him
mini Gascon?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
That was me? That was it?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Okay, that was good. I got a laugh out of that.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
And that, you know, I think I think it's you know,
and so my you know, my vision about what we're
going to do with Los Angeles is very different from
everyone else. I actually have a path forward. How we
can make our community safer. I in particular, I have
this violence reduction strategy which is pretty innovative because what
(02:44):
I want to do is I want to build up
an intelligence unit in the District Attorney's office, find out
who are the real bad guys in La County and
use our resources to go after them. And you know,
I think that has never been done in La County.
Something I want to do. And I think the other
thing that makes me different from everyone else is you know,
(03:06):
no one else is talking about how we're going to
deal with the mentally ill. I want to build a
lockdown facility so that they are not just roaming the
streets and killing other people. And then you know, in
the homeless issue, I think we are again. I mean, look,
look what George gask wants to do. George Gat's going
wants to do absolutely nothing on the issue, just keep
(03:27):
it the same. And I have a plan about expanding
homeless courts so that we actually get people off the
streets and get them in more permanent housing. And that's
I think the difference between me and everyone else is, well,
people are looking backwards and George is looking nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
This is all interrelated.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
The homeless problem is directly connected to the mental illness
that's out on the streets and the drug problem and
their behavior which often becomes criminal. And sometimes they got
to be put away somewhere, right They got to be
put it away for mental health treatment, drug treatment, or
in jail entirely, and none of it's being addressed. That's
the thing. It's a complete breakdown in government order. And
(04:09):
I know we're paying you know, millions and millions for
thousands of employees and none of this is being handled anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, I mean, look, this is the problem is that
we're we get someone who's mentally ill in our criminal
system right now. With that person, what's happening to that
person is they're being thrown back on the streets and
they're giving you know, community mental health treatment. Well, if
they're extremely violent, putting them back on the streets is
not good for them, and it's certainly not good for
(04:37):
the community. And we've seen this time and time again
where someone gets released from jail on one of these
mental health diversions and then goes in stabs their neighbor
to death or their boyfriend to death. I mean, this
is this is a problem, and right now The way
that George Gascon is handling it is he just pretends
that it doesn't exist and throws it back onto the streets.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I found his performance to be baffling because he doesn't
give an inch. He thinks everything is fine in Los Angeles,
and it's our problem that we have the wrong perception
of his of the utopia he's created. I mean, does
he really believes this or is this some kind of
(05:21):
an act?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Well? Did it remind you of something that you may
have read in the La Times over Sunday, Because if
you read the La Times editorial in terms of their
endorsements of George Gascone, it's not that different. You know,
I'll tell you one thing. The La Times editorial board
and I agree on one thing. If you keep George Gascone,
(05:43):
you're not going to move forward, and we're just going
to continue going. You know, in this cycle where nothing
is happening, where there's no effective plan to turn the
tide on crime, there's no effective plan to deal with
a mentally ill and there's no affective plan to move
forward on homelessness. And so you know, I guess the
(06:04):
La Times and I agree on one thing, and that
is keeping George Gascon means there's absolutely going to be
no change in our system whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And then everybody else outside of Gascon in the La
Times editorial board is unhappy with the day to day
quality of life in Los Angeles County. And it's clear why.
You just have to open your eyes and look around.
You see it every day. And everybody, I mean everybody
I talk to you, and I live on the West side,
this is not this is not Middle America.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Right the West side.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's very democratic, very liberal, and everybody I know is
angry and afraid, and they don't want to go out
at night beyond their little bubble. And I don't know
of anybody who's comfortable with the way life is gone
here in LA over the last few years. And I
don't understand this denial. I mean, it really seems like
a religious cult.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, it's you know. I think one of the things
that's interesting about the editorial itself is if you read it,
there's no mention of any new proposals that he has.
There's no mention of how he's governing the office. There's
no mention of the fact that he's lost the confidence
of law enforcement. There's no mention about the loss of
(07:18):
confidence of the line prosecutors, and frankly, most importantly, and
this is something I've seen in the polling that we've
done for my campaign, he has lost the confidence of
most Angelinos. He has about fifteen percent of Angelinos who
are supporting him, and the rest of them are either
opposed to him or indifferent to him, but the majority
(07:41):
are opposed to him. So I don't know where, you know,
I don't know what they were thinking in terms of
this endorsement, but it's clear that it's not based on substance,
it's not based on his plans, it's not based upon
where he's going to take us in the future, and
it's based upon some type of you know. I mean,
(08:03):
I think you kind of put it as a cult,
like this is the this is our guy, and we're
going to just continue come hell or high water.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
His whole tone in the debate and their tone in
the editorial is everything is wonderful. What's the change, what's
to complain about?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And look, if you if you believe that right, if
you believe that everything is great, if you believe that
Los Angeles is in the right direction, if you believe
that you know we're doing the best we can in
terms of keeping you safe while changing and reforming the system.
Then you know what you should You should vote for
George Gascon. I don't think that's the reality about what
(08:41):
is happening on the ground. I see it every day
in court. I see it every day in you know,
living in Los Angeles. Look, I live in a gang neighborhood.
I've noticed that there's been a major change in terms
of gang graffiti and gang violence. And you can't deny
it because it's simply you just have to open up
(09:02):
your eyes and look what's happening in Los Angeles. I'll
tell you one thing, though, I do have hope because
I think he's extremely unpopular, and I know that I
get in the general election with him, I will beat
him and it won't just be a little drumming. I
will overwhelmingly defeat George Gascon if I get in the
(09:25):
general election with him.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well, Eric, I wish you the best of luck, and
let's talk again, because I want to give you and
the other prosecutors who are running as much time as
possible to keep making the case against Gascon.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You're an excellent candidate, and I wish you the best
of luck for the rest of the campaign.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Okay, thanks a lot, I appreciate.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
That is Eric Sadal there, and he is the vice
president of the Association of Deputy District Attorneys and one
of the candidates against George Gascone.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And we will we.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Got a lot coming up. One piece of good news,
and this is all related, is the organization that has
funded and supported and gotten a few LA City Council
people elected and the LA City Attorney elected or the controller.
(10:21):
I think the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA, they're
apparently broke. They've had a great influence and a very
bad influence on LA politics and LA quality of life.
And it looks like they're running out of money. Tell
you about that and we come back.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
We just talked with Eric Sadal who's a deputy District attorney.
He's running against Gascon. He's another great candidate. And right
before the we're talking with Eric Sadahl and I wanted
to tell you about the Democratic Socialists of America because
(11:07):
that's the other evil force in LA. County that's helping
to make things horrible. The Democratic Socialists of America are
basically a Marxist communist group. They put the word democratic
in their title to throw you off. The second word
is the important word. It's the Democratic Socialists of America.
They're unabatched socialists and this is what they believe in.
(11:32):
And they're actually more like anarchists, I think, because they
want the destruction. They find America to be an illegitimate nation,
capitalism to be an illegitimate economic theory, just the whole thing,
everything about our way of life should be destroyed. And
they've gotten three candidates on the LA City Council. One
(11:53):
of them is Nythia Rahman, Hugo Soda Martinez, and Unicus Hernandez.
They also got the La City Controller, Kenneth Mahea. One
of Mike Bonnen's top aides was with the Democratic Socialists
of America. They have now, though as an organization, stepped
on a land mine of sorts because they are part
(12:16):
of the rabble rousing crowd in the streets that supports
Hamas and hates Israel and hates the Jews, and so
that has caused a huge, a huge decline in their donations.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
They are they're they're.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
In a million dollar plus hole and they have to
start laying off many people. We have to cut five
hundred thousand dollars from staff related expenses, and we're going
to be asking people to volunteer to leave, have their
position cut, receive severance, and then we're going to be
(12:58):
uh issuing layoffs. Because there's a financial crisis and staff
related costs are seventy two percent of the projected income
and fifty eight percent of their total spending. They have
to make seven figure budget cuts. They got so radical,
(13:18):
so anti Israel, that a lot of people cut off
the money because they were so disgusted. And it's long
been an anti Semitic organization, but apparently after supporting Hamas
post invasion, it was too much. Even a lot of
(13:38):
progressives couldn't take the kind of rhetoric coming out from
the Democratic Socialists of America. The thing is they have
infiltrated government to such a large extent. There's other DSA
members who are staff members of La City Council, and
I mean all of them should be removed from government
(14:00):
because they're an absolute danger to what used to be
the American way of life. Which was a good way
of life, and somehow everybody became embarrassed to defend the
American way of life, and they started cow telling to
these lunatic radicals who want nothing but destruction. They don't
(14:21):
want life to be better. They want all the homeless
people in the street. They want the criminals in the street,
the mental patients in the street. They want George Gascon
as district attorney. They want this, and they have scared
and intimidated a lot of people because they're good at
doing public protests and making a lot of noise and
frightening people into silence. So to read that the DSA
(14:41):
is going bankrupt, BLM was going bankrupt as well, this
is all good. Maybe we're coming out of this ridiculous
period where all these destructive, hateful ideas have run their course,
and now maybe people are going to wake up and
start voting from normal candidates and we can get back
(15:02):
to have a normal life. We should not spend one
day with the mayhem in the streets that we have
not one day, and most most cities in this country,
most cities and towns, do not have what we have.
But we do, and it's our doing because we allowed
it because we voted for bad people, because we allowed
(15:23):
organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America to infiltrate our government,
and because most people were afraid Timid. They're cowering because
these people make so much crazy noise and are so threatening.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So that was good news that the DSA is going bankrupt.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Ron from one until four, then after four o'clock John
Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. Tonight at
six o'clock you can hear the Senate candidates to be
Fox eleven along with USC and Polite is hosting a
California Senate debate from the USC campus. The debate will
air on KFI at six o'clock. It's also going to
(16:08):
be on Fox eleven. And the four candidates three Democrats,
one Republican. It's going to be Nuddy, Adam Schiff, Katie Porter,
Barbara Lee, and then the Republican is the former Dodger
Steve Garvey. And the primary election is March fifth. The
top two we'll go on to the November runoff unless
(16:30):
someone gets fifty percent, which no one will. Alex Michaelson
is one of the moderators of the debate and a
political senior. A Politico reporter Melanie Mason is the other moderator.
So you could listen on KFI tonight to that. And
(16:52):
I found this survey in the New York Post done
by Scott Rasmussen.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
He has a famous pulling up agency.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
And as you know, it's a common stereotype to say,
now that America has been split into two, you could
look at red states and blue states. You can look
at people with advanced college degrees and working class people.
And so Scott Rasmussen looked into the big divide between
you know, you could call them coastal elites and people
(17:24):
who live in the heartland. The divide is it's much
more deep and shocking than you could imagine if you
believe this poll. What Scott Rasmussen did is divided the
public into two groups. The elites are people with at
(17:46):
least one postgraduate degree, you earn more than one hundred
and fifty thousand, and you live in a densely populated
zip code. They had a formula for that, and then
everybody else is part of the general public. But how
do all these more wealthy, more isolated elite people. How
(18:06):
do they I mean they're isolated in that you know,
they're in there mostly urban bubbles. You know, they may
live in a densely populated area, but they're not out
with the rest of the world. Everybody they know agrees
with what they think. And then he also looked at
the super elites, people who graduated from Ivy League schools
(18:28):
or Duke or Stanford Northwestern, and it's pretty shocking. For example,
if you wonder who approves of Joe Biden's performance, it's
the elites. Eighty four percent of the elites approve of
Joe Biden eighty four percent. Seventy three percent of the
(18:48):
elites consider themselves democrats. Again, these are postgraduate degree holders
earning more than one hundred and fifty thousand, living in
a densely populated zip code. And here's some other stunning statistics.
Seventy seven percent of the elites and eighty nine percent
(19:09):
of the super elites support the strict rationing of meat,
gas and electricity. You know why, climate change. These are
the climate change true believers. Now what's fascinating about this is,
I bet you the super elites, you know, think the
(19:30):
West side of Los Angeles use a disproportionate amount of
electricity and gas and meat. But they think everybody else,
all the unwashed peasants out there, should stop driving gas cars. Oh,
and stop using electricity as well, so you can't drive
(19:51):
electric cars anymore. In fact, I was reading an opinion
piece by someone who said, oh, that's next. They're starting
with gas powered cars. But you'll see they'll go after
the electric cars because the electric cars are not friendly
to the environment. It takes a tremendous amount of energy
to manufacture those electric cars, and you have to own
one for many years before it cancels out all the
(20:17):
greenhouse gases that the production makes, not to mention all
the mining that's going on in Africa. They're wrecking the
environment there with their cobalt mining. Eighty one percent of
the elites would be the super elites, would ban the
use of gas powered cars. Eighty one percent. Seventy percent
(20:43):
would stop Americans from engaging in non essential air travel.
So you see a pattern here. The elites who travel
the most, drive the most, take more airplanes. They think
everybody else should stop traveling. No gas cars, no electric cars,
(21:05):
no airplanes. Maybe we could all all take high speed rail.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
And another thing that's frightening about this group. They think
that the government is right most of the time.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I'm trying to find the exact, the exact, the exact
thing here, but it was it was a very high percentage.
I think the government is mostly right, and they're the
ones who vote for big government. So they vote for Democrats.
I don't know why because they're Their tax bill is huge,
(21:53):
but I guess they make so much money the taxes
don't matter to them. If you so, if you want
to know who we're who were normal people are fighting,
it's this crowd. They really want to really put us
in shackles. They want to stop us from eating whatever
they don't approve of, stop us from traveling. I mean,
(22:16):
once you take the cars, including the electric cars away
and the planes. Oh I forgot, we're supposed to ride
bicycles around, right. I'm still waiting to find the guy
who's biking from the west Side to Burbank, which is
my route getting over the Supulvent of Pass. Do they
have a bike lane on the four h five. I
(22:38):
want to see that guy. What guy has taken five
buses to get from the West Side to Burbank. But
you know this is this is ther They're the ones
who donate to like the Democratic Socialists of America. They're
the ones who donate to these far left wing operations,
to George Gascon for example, to Gavin Newsome. They have
(23:01):
so much money and they think they are more educated
and more wise than the rest of us dirty people
down below. All right, more coming up.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven
Moist eighty six Conway coming up in minutes. Oh, I
did find the statistical I wanted in this study. They
interviewed normal people and then they interviewed elites and super elites.
Elites are people who have a postgraduate degree and they
earn more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
(23:40):
they live in a densely populated zip code of the city.
And then the super elites came from ivy League schools.
He is, here's the one eighty nine percent of super
elite say they trust the government to do the right thing.
Eighty nine percent they have a devout religious belief in government,
the government to do the right thing. Think about that,
(24:00):
the government to do the right thing, and even the
regular elites seventy percent think the government will do the
right thing. Uh, normal people only thirty five percent have
that feeling. Now, those kind of people vote for George Gascone.
(24:21):
George Gascone doesn't prosecute anyone for anything, and you end
up with this story. At a Westchester, NBC four reporter
Christian Kazaris.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Neighbors telling me over thirty cars were broken into overnight
here in their neighborhood. Now we're at the corner of
eighty fifth Street and Burger Avenue. I want to show
you a little bit of what neighbors found here.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
The car right here behind me.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
You see the car, The window just completely smashed it.
So is the vehicle on the other side of the street. Now,
aside from the hundreds of dollars in repair costs, neighbors
say they feel violated because much of their belongings were
found just shuffled around inside. Now, take a look at
the security video one neighbor shared that showed someone walking
up to their car moments before it was broken into.
One by one, windows were smashed and a series of
(25:06):
car alarms woke up many families during the early morning hours.
Now we spoke to several of those car owners today
who tell us they are just frustrated about what happened.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
And I noticed that my driver's windshield was kind of
spiderweb cracked, so I just thought a rock hit it
from a passing car. So I ran back in the
house to get our other car's keys to go to
the gym. And then when I went to that car,
the window had been broken through and it looked like
there was some rummage in around in the front stat
(25:35):
So then then as I was looking around the street,
I noticed that a lot of the front side windshields
were punched in.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Well, there was a police report that was filed today
and we are waiting to get more information from LAPD
about what happened. But again, neighbors telling us over thirty
cars vandalized just before sunrise. Now some have been towed away,
others have plastic coverings on the windows, and others, as
you can see, remain with no windows as a storm continues.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
To pass by.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There you go, thirty cars in Westchester, and that comes
from the policies of George Gascon because I'm sure all
these guys have records. I'm sure they do a lot
of damage. This wasn't the only night of their life
that they decided to smash thirty cars. And you don't
hear this happening in wealthy neighborhoods. The people in wealthy
(26:25):
neighborhoods vote for these conditions, but they're rarely the victims. Right,
you don't hear about this happening on the west side
of LA. Hear it happening in Westchester. It's like this
other story they have about Hollywood in the Daily Mail.
The headline is once glamorous Boulevard is filthy, overrun by
(26:47):
homelessness and struggling to cope with soaring crime. You don't
see that happen that headline about the wealthy districts in
LA or the wealthy suburbs. No, it's always the poor
people in the middle class who have to live with
the consequences of how the wealthy elites vote. Not that
(27:09):
the poor people vote any better, but the wealthy people
financed the campaigns. The wealthy people are the ones who
have this weird ideology that they think the government always
does the right thing. Well, government, you know what go
walk down Hollywood Boulevard, because my wife and I did
(27:32):
a couple of times last year. We'd park there and
then walk up to the Hollywood Bowl because the parking
situation at the ball was so terrible it was easier
to park in a lot until we realized we had
to walk down Hollywood Boulevard at night after the concert
a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Not going to do that again.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
So they got a story now in the LA Daily,
not the LA the Daily Mail out of London, and
they are finally going to close off a one and
a quarter mile stretch to do a much read a
much needed renovation because the sidewalks are often congested and
(28:15):
is filled with with homeless people in mental patience and
it is it is one of the scariest walks that
you could take in LA. So they're going to make
wider sidewalks, put up shade trees, a protected mobility lane,
I guess what they used to be called a bicycle lane,
(28:40):
and pedestrian safety enhancements. It's filled with dirty sidewalks and
people are victims of assaults with a deadly weapon, sexual assaults,
homeless people assaulting. It is an outdoor insane asylum. But
(29:00):
you know what, they're trying to clean the city up
because the Olympics are coming in twenty twenty eight, and
that may seem like a long way away, but when
you have the kind of work they need to do,
they also want to improve the aesthetics, come up with
a cohesive design for Hollywood Boulevard. But it's not being
done for us. It's not being done for the local residents.
(29:20):
It's being done for all the visitors who are coming
for the Olympics. It's like when Gavin Newsom cleaned up
San Francisco for a few days when the president.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Of China was coming.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Then he did all the things that San Francisco residents
had been begging for for ten years finally got done
for the Chinese president. Now I wonder on that stress
on that stretch in San Francisco, if all the vagrants
moved back in, if the mental patients found their way
to their old neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
And so that's what their.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Channel five analyzed the crime day, and it was deadly
weapon sexual assaults, homeless. One woman ainting the shell said
she was punched in the face. All she was doing
was errands on the boulevard. She says, I've seen people
with machetes and knives slicing in the air, slicing the
air in front of them. I've seen people selling drugs
(30:21):
out of the back of a truck. I've witnessed a
hots hostage situation at one of the apartment complexes. I
was punched in the back of the head by a
homeless person. This is one woman. How many times do
you have to see or experience that before you find
another neighborhood to shop in. And this is the stretch
that has the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This is the
(30:42):
stretch where they close off for movie premieres. And it
must have affected tourism or do Most tourists don't know
till they get there, and then they find it terribly disgusting.
The press were says. The goal of the Hollywood Walk
of Fame master plan is to move this iconic cord
(31:05):
or forward into the twenty first century, respecting its rich
history while establishing a holistic and long lasting vision. But
if you don't get the homeless people off the street
and put the criminals in prison, well what's going to happen.
It's not gonna take long. If the homeless start taking
their filthy dumps on the Walk of Fame all over again.
(31:31):
I mean there's rows and rows of tents, people sleeping
on top of the Walk of Fame stars, garbage all
over the sidewalks. And oh, by the way, they cut
the officer patrols by half recently.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Ah Conway's here.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Hey, Now, well, we got the big debate on it
at six o'clock, the Senate debate, and that will be
honest with Fox eleven. Moke Kelly's gonna be part of that,
and we're going to carry that live at six o'clock, the.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Three Democratic candidates and Steve Garvey.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
That's right, should be very exciting. Did I oversell it? Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
No, you didn't. You're a little undersold.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
And then John Kerry has left the global warming business
and now he's going to work on trying to get
Joe Biden reelected, which I thought was odd because for
the last ten years I've been told that the biggest
threat to the planet is not Joe Biden, it's climate change. Well,
I think Kerry made his money, but why would he
Why would he leave us without a climate change zar
(32:34):
if the world's going to end? You know, isn't that
the most important job. No, it's it's just a money racket.
That's all what you get out of here. Oh yeah,
you and your your what is that that kool aid?
That QAnon thing?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
You conspiracy theory?
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, you and Mando with those QAnon meetings. Come on, John,
you can't possibly believe that. Look, it's raining outside. I
think they all though that they're selling a scam.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I do think. Well, they wouldn't be to you. You
think he'd be flying a private plane every week. I
don't know how Elly was worried about the climate. I
don't know who to believe. I don't know. All right, Okay,
I'm telling you the truth, all right.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
And then not only that, we have some good football
games over the weekend. We'll give you a preview on
what the spread is for the next weekend. And then
we also have there was something else here. Oh the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.
We're gonna talk about when that's gonna split.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
All right? Conways, that big dong with you?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Johnny Crusher is the news live the KFI twenty three Dogs. 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 if I am six forty, you're listening to the
John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. It's always entertaining
watching me sitting in an empty room talking on the phone. Right,
That's that's great TV there, all right, people love it,
they do love it.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Yeah, all right, John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
And yes, we're live on Instagram for this next segment
if I am six forty and also live everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. And we're on from one to four
after four o'clock the iHeart app as the John Cobelt
on Dement Podcast. So there you're caught up on all
the different ways you can hear this. We are now
going to talk with one of the strong candidates for
(00:39):
La County District Attorney against George Gascon, Eric Sadal. He's
a deputy district attorney. He is also the vice president
of the Assistant Deputy Left. Let's get the title of
this organization wrong. We get Eric on so you could
give it the proper title. It's these Snociation of Deputy
(01:01):
District Attorneys, right.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, that's right, something like that.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
So you know, I think this is Look, I think
I've been on your show for about five or six years.
This is this is the first time we don't have
ken on.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
It's a bit of a shock for me.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
It's why I can get easily confused. Introducing guests, Eric,
how is it doing that debate? I know you've done
other debates. This one was live streamed at LA mag
dot com. It was really an interesting fast pace event.
How was it for you last week going up against Gascone?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Well, you know, it was interesting because I really do
think it kind of showed the three different paths that
LA can take. Uh, you know, most of the people
that are running don't really have a path forward. George
Gascone has you know, has no path forward either. And
then you know, you all his little mini me next
(02:01):
to him, that guy doesn't have any path forward either. Yeah,
so you know it's it's it's uh, are.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
You the one? Were you the one who called him
mini Gascon?
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
That was me? That was it?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Okay, that was good. I got a laugh out of that.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
And that, you know, I think I think it's you know,
and so my you know, my vision about what we're
going to do with Los Angeles is very different from
everyone else. I actually have a path forward. How we
can make our community safer. I in particular, I have
this violence reduction strategy which is pretty innovative because what
(02:44):
I want to do is I want to build up
an intelligence unit in the District Attorney's office, find out
who are the real bad guys in La County and
use our resources to go after them. And you know,
I think that has never been done in La County.
Something I want to do. And I think the other
thing that makes me different from everyone else is you know,
(03:06):
no one else is talking about how we're going to
deal with the mentally ill. I want to build a
lockdown facility so that they are not just roaming the
streets and killing other people. And then you know, in
the homeless issue, I think we are again. I mean, look,
look what George gask wants to do. George Gat's going
wants to do absolutely nothing on the issue, just keep
(03:27):
it the same. And I have a plan about expanding
homeless courts so that we actually get people off the
streets and get them in more permanent housing. And that's
I think the difference between me and everyone else is, well,
people are looking backwards and George is looking nowhere.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
This is all interrelated.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
The homeless problem is directly connected to the mental illness
that's out on the streets and the drug problem and
their behavior which often becomes criminal. And sometimes they got
to be put away somewhere, right They got to be
put it away for mental health treatment, drug treatment, or
in jail entirely, and none of it's being addressed. That's
the thing. It's a complete breakdown in government order. And
(04:09):
I know we're paying you know, millions and millions for
thousands of employees and none of this is being handled anymore.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Yeah, I mean, look, this is the problem is that
we're we get someone who's mentally ill in our criminal
system right now. With that person, what's happening to that
person is they're being thrown back on the streets and
they're giving you know, community mental health treatment. Well, if
they're extremely violent, putting them back on the streets is
not good for them, and it's certainly not good for
(04:37):
the community. And we've seen this time and time again
where someone gets released from jail on one of these
mental health diversions and then goes in stabs their neighbor
to death or their boyfriend to death. I mean, this
is this is a problem, and right now The way
that George Gascon is handling it is he just pretends
that it doesn't exist and throws it back onto the streets.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I found his performance to be baffling because he doesn't
give an inch. He thinks everything is fine in Los Angeles,
and it's our problem that we have the wrong perception
of his of the utopia he's created. I mean, does
he really believes this or is this some kind of
(05:21):
an act?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Well? Did it remind you of something that you may
have read in the La Times over Sunday, Because if
you read the La Times editorial in terms of their
endorsements of George Gascone, it's not that different. You know,
I'll tell you one thing. The La Times editorial board
and I agree on one thing. If you keep George Gascone,
(05:43):
you're not going to move forward, and we're just going
to continue going. You know, in this cycle where nothing
is happening, where there's no effective plan to turn the
tide on crime, there's no effective plan to deal with
a mentally ill and there's no affective plan to move
forward on homelessness. And so you know, I guess the
(06:04):
La Times and I agree on one thing, and that
is keeping George Gascon means there's absolutely going to be
no change in our system whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And then everybody else outside of Gascon in the La
Times editorial board is unhappy with the day to day
quality of life in Los Angeles County. And it's clear why.
You just have to open your eyes and look around.
You see it every day. And everybody, I mean everybody
I talk to you, and I live on the West side,
this is not this is not Middle America.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Right the West side.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's very democratic, very liberal, and everybody I know is
angry and afraid, and they don't want to go out
at night beyond their little bubble. And I don't know
of anybody who's comfortable with the way life is gone
here in LA over the last few years. And I
don't understand this denial. I mean, it really seems like
a religious cult.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Yeah, it's you know. I think one of the things
that's interesting about the editorial itself is if you read it,
there's no mention of any new proposals that he has.
There's no mention of how he's governing the office. There's
no mention of the fact that he's lost the confidence
of law enforcement. There's no mention about the loss of
(07:18):
confidence of the line prosecutors, and frankly, most importantly, and
this is something I've seen in the polling that we've
done for my campaign, he has lost the confidence of
most Angelinos. He has about fifteen percent of Angelinos who
are supporting him, and the rest of them are either
opposed to him or indifferent to him, but the majority
(07:41):
are opposed to him. So I don't know where, you know,
I don't know what they were thinking in terms of
this endorsement, but it's clear that it's not based on substance,
it's not based on his plans, it's not based upon
where he's going to take us in the future, and
it's based upon some type of you know. I mean,
(08:03):
I think you kind of put it as a cult,
like this is the this is our guy, and we're
going to just continue come hell or high water.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
His whole tone in the debate and their tone in
the editorial is everything is wonderful. What's the change, what's
to complain about?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
And look, if you if you believe that right, if
you believe that everything is great, if you believe that
Los Angeles is in the right direction, if you believe
that you know we're doing the best we can in
terms of keeping you safe while changing and reforming the system.
Then you know what you should You should vote for
George Gascon. I don't think that's the reality about what
(08:41):
is happening on the ground. I see it every day
in court. I see it every day in you know,
living in Los Angeles. Look, I live in a gang neighborhood.
I've noticed that there's been a major change in terms
of gang graffiti and gang violence. And you can't deny
it because it's simply you just have to open up
(09:02):
your eyes and look what's happening in Los Angeles. I'll
tell you one thing, though, I do have hope because
I think he's extremely unpopular, and I know that I
get in the general election with him, I will beat
him and it won't just be a little drumming. I
will overwhelmingly defeat George Gascon if I get in the
(09:25):
general election with him.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Well, Eric, I wish you the best of luck, and
let's talk again, because I want to give you and
the other prosecutors who are running as much time as
possible to keep making the case against Gascon.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
You're an excellent candidate, and I wish you the best
of luck for the rest of the campaign.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Okay, thanks a lot, I appreciate.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
It, all right.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
That is Eric Sadal there, and he is the vice
president of the Association of Deputy District Attorneys and one
of the candidates against George Gascone.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And we will we.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Got a lot coming up. One piece of good news,
and this is all related, is the organization that has
funded and supported and gotten a few LA City Council
people elected and the LA City Attorney elected or the controller.
(10:21):
I think the Democratic Socialists of America, the DSA, they're
apparently broke. They've had a great influence and a very
bad influence on LA politics and LA quality of life.
And it looks like they're running out of money. Tell
you about that and we come back.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
We just talked with Eric Sadal who's a deputy District attorney.
He's running against Gascon. He's another great candidate. And right
before the we're talking with Eric Sadahl and I wanted
to tell you about the Democratic Socialists of America because
(11:07):
that's the other evil force in LA. County that's helping
to make things horrible. The Democratic Socialists of America are
basically a Marxist communist group. They put the word democratic
in their title to throw you off. The second word
is the important word. It's the Democratic Socialists of America.
They're unabatched socialists and this is what they believe in.
(11:32):
And they're actually more like anarchists, I think, because they
want the destruction. They find America to be an illegitimate nation,
capitalism to be an illegitimate economic theory, just the whole thing,
everything about our way of life should be destroyed. And
they've gotten three candidates on the LA City Council. One
(11:53):
of them is Nythia Rahman, Hugo Soda Martinez, and Unicus Hernandez.
They also got the La City Controller, Kenneth Mahea. One
of Mike Bonnen's top aides was with the Democratic Socialists
of America. They have now, though as an organization, stepped
on a land mine of sorts because they are part
(12:16):
of the rabble rousing crowd in the streets that supports
Hamas and hates Israel and hates the Jews, and so
that has caused a huge, a huge decline in their donations.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
They are they're they're.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
In a million dollar plus hole and they have to
start laying off many people. We have to cut five
hundred thousand dollars from staff related expenses, and we're going
to be asking people to volunteer to leave, have their
position cut, receive severance, and then we're going to be
(12:58):
uh issuing layoffs. Because there's a financial crisis and staff
related costs are seventy two percent of the projected income
and fifty eight percent of their total spending. They have
to make seven figure budget cuts. They got so radical,
(13:18):
so anti Israel, that a lot of people cut off
the money because they were so disgusted. And it's long
been an anti Semitic organization, but apparently after supporting Hamas
post invasion, it was too much. Even a lot of
(13:38):
progressives couldn't take the kind of rhetoric coming out from
the Democratic Socialists of America. The thing is they have
infiltrated government to such a large extent. There's other DSA
members who are staff members of La City Council, and
I mean all of them should be removed from government
(14:00):
because they're an absolute danger to what used to be
the American way of life. Which was a good way
of life, and somehow everybody became embarrassed to defend the
American way of life, and they started cow telling to
these lunatic radicals who want nothing but destruction. They don't
(14:21):
want life to be better. They want all the homeless
people in the street. They want the criminals in the street,
the mental patients in the street. They want George Gascon
as district attorney. They want this, and they have scared
and intimidated a lot of people because they're good at
doing public protests and making a lot of noise and
frightening people into silence. So to read that the DSA
(14:41):
is going bankrupt, BLM was going bankrupt as well, this
is all good. Maybe we're coming out of this ridiculous
period where all these destructive, hateful ideas have run their course,
and now maybe people are going to wake up and
start voting from normal candidates and we can get back
(15:02):
to have a normal life. We should not spend one
day with the mayhem in the streets that we have
not one day, and most most cities in this country,
most cities and towns, do not have what we have.
But we do, and it's our doing because we allowed
it because we voted for bad people, because we allowed
(15:23):
organizations like the Democratic Socialists of America to infiltrate our government,
and because most people were afraid Timid. They're cowering because
these people make so much crazy noise and are so threatening.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
So that was good news that the DSA is going bankrupt.
Speaker 5 (15:41):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Ron from one until four, then after four o'clock John
Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. Tonight at
six o'clock you can hear the Senate candidates to be
Fox eleven along with USC and Polite is hosting a
California Senate debate from the USC campus. The debate will
air on KFI at six o'clock. It's also going to
(16:08):
be on Fox eleven. And the four candidates three Democrats,
one Republican. It's going to be Nuddy, Adam Schiff, Katie Porter,
Barbara Lee, and then the Republican is the former Dodger
Steve Garvey. And the primary election is March fifth. The
top two we'll go on to the November runoff unless
(16:30):
someone gets fifty percent, which no one will. Alex Michaelson
is one of the moderators of the debate and a
political senior. A Politico reporter Melanie Mason is the other moderator.
So you could listen on KFI tonight to that. And
(16:52):
I found this survey in the New York Post done
by Scott Rasmussen.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
He has a famous pulling up agency.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
And as you know, it's a common stereotype to say,
now that America has been split into two, you could
look at red states and blue states. You can look
at people with advanced college degrees and working class people.
And so Scott Rasmussen looked into the big divide between
you know, you could call them coastal elites and people
(17:24):
who live in the heartland. The divide is it's much
more deep and shocking than you could imagine if you
believe this poll. What Scott Rasmussen did is divided the
public into two groups. The elites are people with at
(17:46):
least one postgraduate degree, you earn more than one hundred
and fifty thousand, and you live in a densely populated
zip code. They had a formula for that, and then
everybody else is part of the general public. But how
do all these more wealthy, more isolated elite people. How
(18:06):
do they I mean they're isolated in that you know,
they're in there mostly urban bubbles. You know, they may
live in a densely populated area, but they're not out
with the rest of the world. Everybody they know agrees
with what they think. And then he also looked at
the super elites, people who graduated from Ivy League schools
(18:28):
or Duke or Stanford Northwestern, and it's pretty shocking. For example,
if you wonder who approves of Joe Biden's performance, it's
the elites. Eighty four percent of the elites approve of
Joe Biden eighty four percent. Seventy three percent of the
(18:48):
elites consider themselves democrats. Again, these are postgraduate degree holders
earning more than one hundred and fifty thousand, living in
a densely populated zip code. And here's some other stunning statistics.
Seventy seven percent of the elites and eighty nine percent
(19:09):
of the super elites support the strict rationing of meat,
gas and electricity. You know why, climate change. These are
the climate change true believers. Now what's fascinating about this is,
I bet you the super elites, you know, think the
(19:30):
West side of Los Angeles use a disproportionate amount of
electricity and gas and meat. But they think everybody else,
all the unwashed peasants out there, should stop driving gas cars. Oh,
and stop using electricity as well, so you can't drive
(19:51):
electric cars anymore. In fact, I was reading an opinion
piece by someone who said, oh, that's next. They're starting
with gas powered cars. But you'll see they'll go after
the electric cars because the electric cars are not friendly
to the environment. It takes a tremendous amount of energy
to manufacture those electric cars, and you have to own
one for many years before it cancels out all the
(20:17):
greenhouse gases that the production makes, not to mention all
the mining that's going on in Africa. They're wrecking the
environment there with their cobalt mining. Eighty one percent of
the elites would be the super elites, would ban the
use of gas powered cars. Eighty one percent. Seventy percent
(20:43):
would stop Americans from engaging in non essential air travel.
So you see a pattern here. The elites who travel
the most, drive the most, take more airplanes. They think
everybody else should stop traveling. No gas cars, no electric cars,
(21:05):
no airplanes. Maybe we could all all take high speed rail.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
And another thing that's frightening about this group. They think
that the government is right most of the time.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah, they do.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I'm trying to find the exact, the exact, the exact
thing here, but it was it was a very high percentage.
I think the government is mostly right, and they're the
ones who vote for big government. So they vote for Democrats.
I don't know why because they're Their tax bill is huge,
(21:53):
but I guess they make so much money the taxes
don't matter to them. If you so, if you want
to know who we're who were normal people are fighting,
it's this crowd. They really want to really put us
in shackles. They want to stop us from eating whatever
they don't approve of, stop us from traveling. I mean,
(22:16):
once you take the cars, including the electric cars away
and the planes. Oh I forgot, we're supposed to ride
bicycles around, right. I'm still waiting to find the guy
who's biking from the west Side to Burbank, which is
my route getting over the Supulvent of Pass. Do they
have a bike lane on the four h five. I
(22:38):
want to see that guy. What guy has taken five
buses to get from the West Side to Burbank. But
you know this is this is ther They're the ones
who donate to like the Democratic Socialists of America. They're
the ones who donate to these far left wing operations,
to George Gascon for example, to Gavin Newsome. They have
(23:01):
so much money and they think they are more educated
and more wise than the rest of us dirty people
down below. All right, more coming up.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven
Moist eighty six Conway coming up in minutes. Oh, I
did find the statistical I wanted in this study. They
interviewed normal people and then they interviewed elites and super elites.
Elites are people who have a postgraduate degree and they
earn more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and
(23:40):
they live in a densely populated zip code of the city.
And then the super elites came from ivy League schools.
He is, here's the one eighty nine percent of super
elite say they trust the government to do the right thing.
Eighty nine percent they have a devout religious belief in government,
the government to do the right thing. Think about that,
(24:00):
the government to do the right thing, and even the
regular elites seventy percent think the government will do the
right thing. Uh, normal people only thirty five percent have
that feeling. Now, those kind of people vote for George Gascone.
(24:21):
George Gascone doesn't prosecute anyone for anything, and you end
up with this story. At a Westchester, NBC four reporter
Christian Kazaris.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
Neighbors telling me over thirty cars were broken into overnight
here in their neighborhood. Now we're at the corner of
eighty fifth Street and Burger Avenue. I want to show
you a little bit of what neighbors found here.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
The car right here behind me.
Speaker 6 (24:43):
You see the car, The window just completely smashed it.
So is the vehicle on the other side of the street. Now,
aside from the hundreds of dollars in repair costs, neighbors
say they feel violated because much of their belongings were
found just shuffled around inside. Now, take a look at
the security video one neighbor shared that showed someone walking
up to their car moments before it was broken into.
One by one, windows were smashed and a series of
(25:06):
car alarms woke up many families during the early morning hours.
Now we spoke to several of those car owners today
who tell us they are just frustrated about what happened.
Speaker 7 (25:14):
And I noticed that my driver's windshield was kind of
spiderweb cracked, so I just thought a rock hit it
from a passing car. So I ran back in the
house to get our other car's keys to go to
the gym. And then when I went to that car,
the window had been broken through and it looked like
there was some rummage in around in the front stat
(25:35):
So then then as I was looking around the street,
I noticed that a lot of the front side windshields
were punched in.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Well, there was a police report that was filed today
and we are waiting to get more information from LAPD
about what happened. But again, neighbors telling us over thirty
cars vandalized just before sunrise. Now some have been towed away,
others have plastic coverings on the windows, and others, as
you can see, remain with no windows as a storm continues.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
To pass by.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
There you go, thirty cars in Westchester, and that comes
from the policies of George Gascon because I'm sure all
these guys have records. I'm sure they do a lot
of damage. This wasn't the only night of their life
that they decided to smash thirty cars. And you don't
hear this happening in wealthy neighborhoods. The people in wealthy
(26:25):
neighborhoods vote for these conditions, but they're rarely the victims. Right,
you don't hear about this happening on the west side
of LA. Hear it happening in Westchester. It's like this
other story they have about Hollywood in the Daily Mail.
The headline is once glamorous Boulevard is filthy, overrun by
(26:47):
homelessness and struggling to cope with soaring crime. You don't
see that happen that headline about the wealthy districts in
LA or the wealthy suburbs. No, it's always the poor
people in the middle class who have to live with
the consequences of how the wealthy elites vote. Not that
(27:09):
the poor people vote any better, but the wealthy people
financed the campaigns. The wealthy people are the ones who
have this weird ideology that they think the government always
does the right thing. Well, government, you know what go
walk down Hollywood Boulevard, because my wife and I did
(27:32):
a couple of times last year. We'd park there and
then walk up to the Hollywood Bowl because the parking
situation at the ball was so terrible it was easier
to park in a lot until we realized we had
to walk down Hollywood Boulevard at night after the concert
a couple of times.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Not going to do that again.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
So they got a story now in the LA Daily,
not the LA the Daily Mail out of London, and
they are finally going to close off a one and
a quarter mile stretch to do a much read a
much needed renovation because the sidewalks are often congested and
(28:15):
is filled with with homeless people in mental patience and
it is it is one of the scariest walks that
you could take in LA. So they're going to make
wider sidewalks, put up shade trees, a protected mobility lane,
I guess what they used to be called a bicycle lane,
(28:40):
and pedestrian safety enhancements. It's filled with dirty sidewalks and
people are victims of assaults with a deadly weapon, sexual assaults,
homeless people assaulting. It is an outdoor insane asylum. But
(29:00):
you know what, they're trying to clean the city up
because the Olympics are coming in twenty twenty eight, and
that may seem like a long way away, but when
you have the kind of work they need to do,
they also want to improve the aesthetics, come up with
a cohesive design for Hollywood Boulevard. But it's not being
done for us. It's not being done for the local residents.
(29:20):
It's being done for all the visitors who are coming
for the Olympics. It's like when Gavin Newsom cleaned up
San Francisco for a few days when the president.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Of China was coming.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Then he did all the things that San Francisco residents
had been begging for for ten years finally got done
for the Chinese president. Now I wonder on that stress
on that stretch in San Francisco, if all the vagrants
moved back in, if the mental patients found their way
to their old neighborhoods.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
And so that's what their.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Channel five analyzed the crime day, and it was deadly
weapon sexual assaults, homeless. One woman ainting the shell said
she was punched in the face. All she was doing
was errands on the boulevard. She says, I've seen people
with machetes and knives slicing in the air, slicing the
air in front of them. I've seen people selling drugs
(30:21):
out of the back of a truck. I've witnessed a
hots hostage situation at one of the apartment complexes. I
was punched in the back of the head by a
homeless person. This is one woman. How many times do
you have to see or experience that before you find
another neighborhood to shop in. And this is the stretch
that has the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This is the
(30:42):
stretch where they close off for movie premieres. And it
must have affected tourism or do Most tourists don't know
till they get there, and then they find it terribly disgusting.
The press were says. The goal of the Hollywood Walk
of Fame master plan is to move this iconic cord
(31:05):
or forward into the twenty first century, respecting its rich
history while establishing a holistic and long lasting vision. But
if you don't get the homeless people off the street
and put the criminals in prison, well what's going to happen.
It's not gonna take long. If the homeless start taking
their filthy dumps on the Walk of Fame all over again.
(31:31):
I mean there's rows and rows of tents, people sleeping
on top of the Walk of Fame stars, garbage all
over the sidewalks. And oh, by the way, they cut
the officer patrols by half recently.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Ah Conway's here.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Hey, Now, well, we got the big debate on it
at six o'clock, the Senate debate, and that will be
honest with Fox eleven. Moke Kelly's gonna be part of that,
and we're going to carry that live at six o'clock, the.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Three Democratic candidates and Steve Garvey.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
That's right, should be very exciting. Did I oversell it? Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
No, you didn't. You're a little undersold.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
And then John Kerry has left the global warming business
and now he's going to work on trying to get
Joe Biden reelected, which I thought was odd because for
the last ten years I've been told that the biggest
threat to the planet is not Joe Biden, it's climate change. Well,
I think Kerry made his money, but why would he
Why would he leave us without a climate change zar
(32:34):
if the world's going to end? You know, isn't that
the most important job. No, it's it's just a money racket.
That's all what you get out of here. Oh yeah,
you and your your what is that that kool aid?
That QAnon thing?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
You conspiracy theory?
Speaker 4 (32:48):
Yeah, you and Mando with those QAnon meetings. Come on, John,
you can't possibly believe that. Look, it's raining outside. I
think they all though that they're selling a scam.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
I do think. Well, they wouldn't be to you. You
think he'd be flying a private plane every week. I
don't know how Elly was worried about the climate. I
don't know who to believe. I don't know. All right, Okay,
I'm telling you the truth, all right.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
And then not only that, we have some good football
games over the weekend. We'll give you a preview on
what the spread is for the next weekend. And then
we also have there was something else here. Oh the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain.
We're gonna talk about when that's gonna split.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
All right? Conways, that big dong with you?
