The John Kobylt Show Hour 1 (05/02) - John goes scorched-earth on Sacramento lawmakers after a Democratic-led bill fails—one that would’ve made it a felony to buy 16- or 17-year-olds for sex in California. It’s a legal loophole that leaves the state alone in the nation where such a crime is still treated as a misdemeanor. John breaks down the disturbing reality of the Assembly’s refusal to act, questions the twisted logic behind opposing the bill, and wonders if some politicians have personal reasons for keeping this loophole alive. With support from even Governor Newsom, John asks: who exactly are these legislators protecting? The predators, the perverts—or themselves?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Welcome boy, We're we're hot, we're smooth, We're up and
running here. Thank you. I really need an attendant. You're
a good attendant.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You do help out quite a bit. I know you're
not my secretary, but you do help me a lot.
All right, Welcome everybody. We have such a good show
for you today because this is this is the Democratic
that we are going to investigate what the perverts and
(00:36):
predators are doing up in Sacramento. And I don't mean
that just as a gratuitous insult. I don't mean it
as hyperbole. But the perverts and the predators up in Sacramento,
they're also known as the Democratic Assembly. They have really
stepped in at this time. They are so hell bent
on allowing criminals to run that they've decided to turn
(01:03):
sixteen and seventeen year olds basically into sacks of meat
and allow them to be sold for sex on the
streets of California. And I'm not exaggerating in the least.
If you heard our show over the last couple of days,
this has been building there is a bill written by
a Democrat, mind you, a Democratic assembly woman, a prosecutor, Maggie,
(01:28):
Maggie Crow, and Maggie Crow has this obvious common sense
goal with this legislation. There's a loophole in the law
that you can buy a sixteen or a seventeen year
old for sex. And it's not really a crime. It's
(01:51):
a misdemeanor. But misdemeanors are never enforced, and there's generally
no real penalties. And the idea that, well, the idea
that this is on the books, that sixteen and seventeen
year olds can be bought and sold for sex, is astounding.
And we had Carl Demayo on yesterday you may have
(02:11):
heard in the Republican from San Diego, and he says,
out of the fifty states, we stand alone. We are
number one. Forty nine other states make that a felony.
In California, you have Democrats fighting bitterly for this viciously
big uproar going on in the Assembly yesterday, a lot
(02:33):
of anger, and the anger was towards, in part, Maggie
Crell for writing the bill and embarrassing all these pervert Democrats.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't know how many of I don't know how many.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Of them are pedophiles. I don't know how many of
our predators. But that's the three piece caucus perverts, predators,
and pedophiles.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And you got fifty the five Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Who don't want to make it a felony, an automatic felony,
like the other forty United States in the Union, and.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I would guess probably most countries too.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Now, in the next segment, because it's a bit longish
and I want you to hear the whole thing, we're
going to play you a news report from Ashley Zavala Uh.
She is a great reporter for krc A Channel three
in Sacramento, and she covers the legislature a lot, and
we are we're gonna play her report as she's chronicling
(03:36):
what went on yesterday in the Assembly. There are a
lot of Democrats who are angry. Governor Newsom is upset.
Governor Newsom told them don't do this. He even threw
in a full stop into his official statement. If you're
you're you're buying and selling teenagers on the street for sex,
(04:00):
that's a felony.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And I you know, if you're at the point where
you have to say that out loud, and you have
to try to explain it. It means the person you're
talking to must be a pervert, a pedophile, or a predator.
There should be no need to have to explain this.
This is not an argument here, This is a statement
(04:24):
of fact. If you're buying and selling teenagers on the street,
that's a felony. You go to prison, directly to prison. Newsom,
listen to all the Democrats who support him, the lieutenant governor,
a lady Canolacus who's also running for governor, the San
Jose mayor, Matt Mahon, and Christine Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's daughter
(04:50):
who's expected to run for that congressional seat when Nancy
Pelosi finally retires, and she's been writing on Twitter trying
to convince other Democrats that this is a really bad
road to take, especially in this climate, in this environment.
And on the Democrat side, Scott Weener is leading the charge. Yes,
(05:16):
that weirdo, and he says the Republicans are looking for
any opportunity to try to paint Democrats as somehow soft
on crime or not caring about crime, and it's so inaccurate, right,
It's the Democrats don't want to make it a felony
to sell sixteen year old girls on the streets for sex,
(05:41):
and he thinks they're being painted unfairly. Of course, Weiener
wrote a bill in twenty twenty two that decriminalized loitering
with the intent to commit prostitution. Basically, he was legalizing
street prostitution. There's a lot of sick, weirdos up in Sacramento.
(06:05):
He's out of San Francisco, so there's nothing you can
do about that. But this is as nutty as I've
ever seen anything. And Newsome is begging them to stop,
and Carlacus, the Lieutenant governors, begging him. Christine Pelosi, Nancy's daughter,
is begging them and they won't. When we come back,
(06:26):
we'll give you a good flavor of what's going on
in Sacramento. This is perversely enjoyable because they are so stupid.
It's so weird. You must really have an interest in
teenagers for sex to be this defiant. We'll play that next,
the report from Channel three and Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Okay, let's go back to Sacramento to meet with the perverts, pedophiles,
and predators, Tucus. They are insisting that you should be
able to buy sixteen and seventeen year old girls and
boys on the street for sex. No felony, that's what
they're insisting. Ashley Zavala from KCRA Channel three and Sacramento
(07:16):
has a great report on this.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Not only did Democrats block this latest attempt to ramp
up the penalties for the buyers in the child sex
trafficking industry, they also sidelines sidelined to Sacramento's Democratic Assembly
member Maggie Crell, who has made this her life's work.
Democratic leaders promise to keep the conversation going, but they're
leaving Krell, an expert, out of it. They criticized not
(07:40):
just Krell, but also Governor Gavin Newsom. It was Denham
Day in the State Assembly, the annual event when lawmakers
can be seen in jeans and Denham jackets for Sexual
Assault Awareness Month, but some Democrats arrived at the Assembly
floor Thursday hoping to avoid that talk, scrambling to down
a Republican push to vote on a proposed automatic felony
(08:04):
for the buyers or sex solicitors of sixteen and seventeen
year olds. After an hour of closed door planning, Democrats
emerged with a deal that stripped Sacramento's Democratic Assembly member
Maggie Crell from her own bill that tries to crack
down on the consumers of the child sex trafficking industry.
She originally proposed the automatic felony for the older teens
(08:26):
this year, noting state laws are inconsistent for the trafficker
and the buyer, but that piece blocked by the Public
Safety Committee earlier this week.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I want one thing out of this. I don't care
whether my name's on the bill, but I would happily
support it if it includes protections for sixteen and seventeen
year olds. If it treats them as victims, because they
truly are. If it recognizes the fights that survivors have
led for decades, for the basic understanding that if you're
(08:56):
seventeen years old on a street corner and an old
man comes up in hiches, it.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Is you for sex.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
That's rape.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
That should be treated as a felony.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Crell has spent two decades investigating human trafficking and was
a prosecutor for the California Department of Justice before being
elected to the Assembly last November.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
She was facing a lot of the trauma.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
She was a voice in kse are three's Escaping the
Blade documentary about sex trafficking and Sacramento. In one scene,
a trafficker urged law enforcement to go after the buyers.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
If you want to stop human trafficking and little girls
being put up and now on these streets. If you
want to really stop that, you arrest tricks. You are
rest who demands it. You don't arrest who sells it,
because whoever sells it, they cannot sell it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
But as the person that was, that's a problem too.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Back on the Assembly floor, Crell's bill taken over by
Assembly Public Safety Chairman Nick Schultz, who was promising to
keep the conversation going.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
I'm sorry that we couldn't see eye to eye on
solution here.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Some progressive Democrats are worried parents could use the punishment
if they don't approve of their child's inter racial or
LGBTQ relationship with an older teen. Schultz accused the governor,
who supports Krell's push, and the media of spreading false
information about the state's child sex trafficking laws.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
It is important to understand that sixteen and seventeen year
olds minors of any age in the state of California
that are contacted for her sexual purpose that is punishable
as a felony.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Already.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
The governor made a statement earlier this week. I agree
wholeheartedly with the governor's statement to the extent that it
already states existing state law.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Republicans frustrated.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
We don't need more time, We don't need to study
this anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
We need to make it just and.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Change the law.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
That's what we push to do today, and unfortunately, the
majority of the Democrats decided to continue this disparity. When
it comes to sixteen and seventeen year olds, they are
deserving of justice and protection.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Note during today's debate, the leader of the State Assembly,
Speaker Robert Reeves, sat silently from his desk. He did
not rise to speak. His office handed us this written
statement that says, in part, protecting children and standing up
for victims are among his top priorities this year.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
So I think for those of us watching all of
this unfold, even as well as you explain it, it
is very hard to make sense of any of this.
But I guess the question is what happens now that
we have Assembly Member Schultz carrying the bill. It is
no longer Assembly Member Crawl's bill.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Well, I mean there is a lot of time for
this breather because this was an explosive, abrupt moment. None
of this was planned on the Assembly floor.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But Schultz tells.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Us that with this bill, it will keep the conversation going,
and he's vowing to get a proposal put together on
this issue that they'll send to the governor by the
end of the summer. He says he still wants to
have hearings on the issue this fall, as he told
us earlier this week. The bill now is sitting in
the Assembly Appropriations Committee and could be changed again in
(12:04):
its next hearing, But we'll just have to see. And
this bill, as long as it's still alive, still has
many hurdles, many committees that could change it, and so
that means that this debate is going to be ongoing
until potentially that felony is put in there.
Speaker 10 (12:18):
But we'll see.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
And we really should point out the urgency with this
that children sixteen and seventeen years old are being victimized
every day, that that is happening, and right here and
right here in Sacramento. Yep, Ashley, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Who do you think the customers are who are buying
the sixteen and seventeen year olds. Maybe it's some of
the politicians in Sacramento. Maybe it's their staff members. Sacramento
is a government town. If there's a lot of children
being bought for sex on the streets, who do you
think is doing the buying.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's people working for the government. That's a huge percentage
of Sacramento.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The government workers, the politicians, to the staff members, the lobbyists,
they're the ones buying the sixteen year old girls.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
On a Friday night.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You heard one of the pimps who's selling the girls said,
this bill out a pass. The only way to stop
sex sales in the streets is to go after the buyers.
Even the pips says that everyone from him to Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Now listen to this.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You may have heard there that Maggie Crell, who's again
a Democrat, they're eating their own. Crell has spent two
decades investigating human trafficking. She was a prosecutor, she got
elected to the Assembly, and she's trying to get an
automatic felony now for those who buy were solicit sixteen
(13:51):
and seventeen year olds boys and girls. Maggie Crell, she
was taken off the bill. You know who's taken over.
I don't know if you noticed it. It was so
one named Nick Schultz. Nick Schultz is from Burbank here. Yes,
you people in Burbank elected the guy who is now
(14:13):
the head of the Perverts, Pedophiles and Predators Caucus. He's
the one now blocking Maggie crew from getting this passed.
He wants to continue the conversation. There is no conversation.
Buying teenagers on the streets for sex is bad. No
further conversation. Felony, felony in every other state in the Union,
(14:37):
looking up this Nick Schultz character. He's the chairman of
the Public Safety Committee. He took Maggie Crell's bill away
from her. Now he's got it and he wants to
rewrite it sometime this summer, after having the conversation.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
We come back.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'll give you a background. I mean, this guy represents
this town right here. What the hell where do you
peep doing. Seriously, go up to any guy in the
street in Burbank, anybody, and say, hey, do you think
buying buying sixteen year old girls on the street for
sex should be a felony one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's a felony unless the guy's into it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
How did we get fifty five people on the Assembly,
fifty five of them who think it's cool to buy
teenagers for sex on the street.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
How's that happen? How are they?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
They seem to be the only fifty five politicians in
the entire country who are for this. I wish I
was making this up. This is not shtick. This is
not an act here, this is the reality. Well, we'll
go through Nick Schultz's biography when we come back.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Holy moly, you can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock,
and if you miss anything, you know what you do.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You go after four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It gets posted on the iHeart app John Cobelt's show
on demand and you listen to what you missed. And
we are continuing to cover the bizarre happenings in Sacramento.
The Democratic Assembly members, fifty five of them, voted down
the idea that if you're buying sixteen and seventeen year
(16:25):
olds on the street for sex. You should be charged
with a felony. Yes, they're actually against it being a
felony to buy sixteen and seventeen year olds for sex
in the streets. And they have gotten very angry with
one of their own members, a relatively new member, Maggie Krell.
(16:48):
She's from Sacramento and she is a Democrat, and she's
a former prosecutor who spent twenty years investigating human trafficking.
And she said, no, you have to you have to
put the customers in prison for buying the girls and boys.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
That's part of this.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Again, we're the only state in the Union where it's
not a felony. So they're trying to punish Maggie Crow.
And they've taken her bill away, taken her name off
the bill, and now Nick.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Schultz is going to rewrite it.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Nick Schultz is the chair of the Public Safety Committee,
which we are officially renaming the Perverts, Pedophiles, and Predators Committee.
All right, so Nick Schultz is leading the Perverts, Pedophiles
and Predators Committee, and as such, we are going to
(17:43):
examine his background. And I don't know this guy. He
just got elected in November. But it turns out he
was the mayor of Burbank up until last year.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I never knew who the mayor of Burbank was.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And before that he was vice mayor and a member
of the city council. And this is great. Somebody has
already gotten on his Wikipedia page and written. As chair
of the Public Safety Committee, he has objected to increased
punishments for sex trafficking children, saying that doing so would
not be equitable. Not be equitable? What does that mean?
(18:21):
This is the guy that you elected Burbank to be
your assembly. Is this guy representing your values? Those of
you with sixteen year old girls in Burbank. If somebody
bought your daughter off the street, Nick Schultz doesn't think
it's a crime. He's very young. He's only thirty six.
(18:45):
He got a law degree at the Oregon School of
Law and then he got involved in politics.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
How. I don't know what kind of life experience you
have at the age of thirty six where you decide,
you know what, buying sixteen year old girls so you
can screw them in a motel.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's cool. I'm with that. And sixteen year old boys too. Yeah, sure,
what the hell?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I how did this guy come about this wisdom? Why?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
And he's so passionate about it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I mean, this guy is angry with Maggie Crow and
then you ask them why and they go, it's not equitable,
it's not equitable.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
What I almost started cursing?
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Yeah, I caught that.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm almost dropped in as there, you were very close.
That's all I can think of.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
Though you have a daughter, yes, it's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Right, and you know a lot of parents of a
lot of daughters, so do I I have never run
into anyone who says, yeah, somebody bought her on the.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Street for yeah, sure, no, no felony.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So I'm just I'm just begging the people of Burbank here,
could you possibly explain this?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
What are you doing? Where does this come from?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And he's got fifty four other creeps, some of them women.
How'd that happen? The whole world is upside down? And again,
they do not do this in any other state. They
don't even discuss it. There is no debate. I have
never read an article in my life. All right, for
(20:34):
all the time we've been doing this show, and I
have read I don't know, probably tens of thousands, hundreds
of thousands of articles over the years. Never once have
I encountered an article where a major legislative body collectively
decided that, you know what, okay to buy that sixteen
year old girl and drag her into the back of
your car and have your way. Okay to pay money,
(20:56):
pay cash money right through a pimp. And that's what
floored me in the UH. In the story Ashley Zavalla
did for Casey r A TV and Sacramento Chechaw, you
interviewed a punt pimp on the street and the guy's
going on, no, no, they should pass that bill.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You got to go after the UH, the buyer. You're
not gonna end.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
The sex trafficking until you go after the buyers. Even
the guy making his living selling the sixteen year old
girls is saying, yeah, that's how you end this. So
I'm sitting here wondering, is there some other angle that
I'm not getting Nobody normal seems to understand this. And
(21:42):
are they all perverts, pedophiles and predators in the Assembly
on the Democratic side? Is that committee really made up
of all kinds of of of sexual creeps. I don't know,
but I've never seen people passionate about this.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I mean they were.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I've seen I've seen photos, I've seen news stories here.
They were all yelling at each other. There's a story
here in Politico about how angry other Democrats are with
Maggie Crow because they thought at some point they had
a deal that she wouldn't bring this up, that she
(22:22):
would accept some kind of compromise. Members of her caucus
fumed that she had thrust them into an impossible position.
But what do you mean she forced you into an
impossible position? Think of the impossible positions these sixteen year
old girls are forced into. Try those impossible positions. Imagine
the impossible positions your daughters would be forced into. These
(22:46):
are disgusting. I'll throw the whole Democratic Assembly in into prison.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
They're upset, they're being exposed to bad faith Republican attacks.
It's bad faith not to want girls to be bought
for sex.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Bad faith.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
And in one particularly charged moment on the floor, according
to Politico, one Democrat accused some of the highest constitutional
officers of spreading misinformation. Apparently he's referring to Gavin Newsom
and the Lieutenant governor and Lady Gonelacus. Something misinformation watching
(23:30):
the republic listen to this. Here's a Democratic assembly member
granted anonymity to speak candidly. Watching the Republicans be so
embulded to attack us in the way they did. That
was a hard pill for people to swillow. The Democrats
are blindsided by one of our own. She's trying to
get people who buy teenage girls for sex put in prison.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
What do you mean you're blindsided?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
But they intentionally left this loophole, by the way, And
we're going to be explaining more of that after two
o'clock because we're gonna have Shannon Grove on. And Shannon
Grove is the Republican state senator who wrote a bill
on human trafficking last year, and she was forced to
(24:16):
get most of the bill passed to accept hostile amendments
so that sixteen and seventeen year olds would have be
included in the law when it comes to charging felonies.
So Shannon Grove is going to come on with us afterwards.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
This may be.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
The all time most disgusting, perverted, weird thing I've ever
seen in politics. And they're so angry and so adamant.
I really ought to be locked up in a mental institution.
But hey, you voted for him, by the way, people
in Burbank. Great job on that. Yikes, we've got more
(25:02):
coming up. And then after two o'clock Shannon Grove.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
We are gonna have Shannon Grove on the Republican State
Centaer coming up just after two o'clock because she wrote
the original bill last year that started this whole ruckus
whether buying sixteen and seventeen year olds on the street
for sex should be a felony or not, because she
got a much larger, comprehensive bill passed. But the Democrats
(25:34):
in the Perverts Predators Caucus. Wait a second, there's a
third P in there. What's the third P? It's perverts predators.
I even wrote it down. Oh and pedophiles. Yes, the perverts,
pedophiles and Predator's Caucus. They made Shannon Grove take out
the provision that turns makes it a felony to buy
(25:55):
sixteen and seventeen year olds. All right, well she's coming
on now get this. How lucky is this? Yes, how
lucky is this? Never mentioned this guy's name in my life.
Didn't know he existed. Turns out he was the mayor
of Burbank for the last two years. He's now the
Assemblyman from the Burbank district here Burbank and Glendale, Nick Schultz.
He's now the chairman of the Public Safety Committee. And
(26:19):
he has wrestled away this sex bill from Maggie Croll
who wrote it's allow Democrat, and now he's in charge
of it, and he's going to rewrite it, and he
wants to continue the conversation and they're not going to
do anything about it till the summer. Okay, So he's
the weirdo. Now he's the weirdo who doesn't think that
(26:42):
it's a felony to buy sixteen and seventeen year olds
for sex. Well, look who's having a town hall meeting tonight.
Tonight from seven to nine o'clock, Nick Schultz has a
town hall meeting at the ACF Burbank Youth Center, a
youth center.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Woo, you're gonna get a lot of assemblymen in there. Huh.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
That's at seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue. Seventy five
East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank. Maybe you should go
pay him a visit and ask him why he wants
to protect the guys who buy sixteen year old girls
for sex.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Ask him.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Nick Schultz, seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank.
And if you go, please report to us on Monday.
Write to us. Maybe we'll put you on the air.
ACF Burbank Youth Center, a youth center. This is so rich,
like somebody script this for me? Is this a prank?
(27:55):
Is this an elaborate prank? This?
Speaker 10 (27:56):
None of this makes sense to me. I really can't understand.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I don't under Yeah, I agree with you, you Rare. That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
You almost never get an issue where it's like one
hundred percent obvious what to do, and I have zero
percent understanding.
Speaker 10 (28:13):
Yeah, I even I came to John during the break,
I said, what am I missing here? I really don't
get it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I know, I get Actually when when something like this happens,
I get a little nervous because I feel like, uh, oh,
there's some some big here that we we we don't know,
that we ignored, that we overlooked that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I don't know, but it can't be this.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You can't actually have grown men and women in Sacramento
wanting to protect guys who buy teenagers for sex. I
that that that's and it's never happened before. That's the thing.
So we're in a peculiar moment, just specifically here in
California and and specifically here in Burbank with this with
(29:00):
this assembly member and again the former mayor, he Nick
Schult he took the bill away from Maggie Kroll who
wrote it. Oh, by the way, this is another thing.
What was Denham Day in the Assembly yesterday?
Speaker 10 (29:15):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
It was the other day.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
And it talks about you know when women wear tight jeans. Yeah, right,
well it's it's obviously hard to take your jeans off.
But there was a case I forgot exactly where this,
uh this this started, but basically blaming the woman, saying
she has to be able to take the jeans off, right,
it can't. No one could actually take the tight jeans off,
(29:38):
basically saying that she wasn't that she.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Wasn't assaulted because there's no way, no way a guy
could pull them off.
Speaker 10 (29:44):
Yes, if you're wearing tight jeans, she must have.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
She must have helped him.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yes, So now they all wear tight jeans to the
Assembly one day a year, and it's on the day
they wanted to highlight sexual assault.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Is the day that.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
They decided to give a free past to those who
want to buy sixteen year olds for sex.
Speaker 10 (30:07):
Which makes no sense, right, I mean.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
It, I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Multiple sources told Channel three and Ashley Zavala and Sacramento
that several Democrats didn't want to acknowledge dNaM day publicly
because they want to avoid the sex trafficking conversation. Say
some of them had the self awareness that this looks
really bad. We are highlighting sexual Assault Awareness Month, but
(30:41):
we're giving free reign to perverts to have sex with
sixteen year old girls. I'm telling you, there has got
to be a huge flush of Sacramento. I can't think
that it could be more debates than it is.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Can it be?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
This is the low point. It is a store up there.
It is a moral sewer. It can't be more depraved
than it is now. All right, Well, Shannon Grove is
going to weigh in on this. She's the Republican state
senator at Bakersfield who wrote the original bill last year,
and she'll tell us how it progressed to this absurd moment.
(31:21):
And we'll keep publicizing the town hall tonight in Burbank
seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue. And Nick Schultz, who
runs the Assembly Public Safety Committee, he's the one who
tore the bill out of Maggie Crell's hands and says,
I'll handle this. Deborah Mark live in the CAFI twenty
for our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John
Covelt Show podcast. You can always hear the show live
(31:42):
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.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Welcome boy, We're we're hot, we're smooth, We're up and
running here. Thank you. I really need an attendant. You're
a good attendant.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
You do help out quite a bit. I know you're
not my secretary, but you do help me a lot.
All right, Welcome everybody. We have such a good show
for you today because this is this is the Democratic
that we are going to investigate what the perverts and
(00:36):
predators are doing up in Sacramento. And I don't mean
that just as a gratuitous insult. I don't mean it
as hyperbole. But the perverts and the predators up in Sacramento,
they're also known as the Democratic Assembly. They have really
stepped in at this time. They are so hell bent
on allowing criminals to run that they've decided to turn
(01:03):
sixteen and seventeen year olds basically into sacks of meat
and allow them to be sold for sex on the
streets of California. And I'm not exaggerating in the least.
If you heard our show over the last couple of days,
this has been building there is a bill written by
a Democrat, mind you, a Democratic assembly woman, a prosecutor, Maggie,
(01:28):
Maggie Crow, and Maggie Crow has this obvious common sense
goal with this legislation. There's a loophole in the law
that you can buy a sixteen or a seventeen year
old for sex. And it's not really a crime. It's
(01:51):
a misdemeanor. But misdemeanors are never enforced, and there's generally
no real penalties. And the idea that, well, the idea
that this is on the books, that sixteen and seventeen
year olds can be bought and sold for sex, is astounding.
And we had Carl Demayo on yesterday you may have
(02:11):
heard in the Republican from San Diego, and he says,
out of the fifty states, we stand alone. We are
number one. Forty nine other states make that a felony.
In California, you have Democrats fighting bitterly for this viciously
big uproar going on in the Assembly yesterday, a lot
(02:33):
of anger, and the anger was towards, in part, Maggie
Crell for writing the bill and embarrassing all these pervert Democrats.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't know how many of I don't know how many.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Of them are pedophiles. I don't know how many of
our predators. But that's the three piece caucus perverts, predators,
and pedophiles.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And you got fifty the five Democrats.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Who don't want to make it a felony, an automatic felony,
like the other forty United States in the Union, and.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I would guess probably most countries too.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Now, in the next segment, because it's a bit longish
and I want you to hear the whole thing, we're
going to play you a news report from Ashley Zavala Uh.
She is a great reporter for krc A Channel three
in Sacramento, and she covers the legislature a lot, and
we are we're gonna play her report as she's chronicling
(03:36):
what went on yesterday in the Assembly. There are a
lot of Democrats who are angry. Governor Newsom is upset.
Governor Newsom told them don't do this. He even threw
in a full stop into his official statement. If you're
you're you're buying and selling teenagers on the street for sex,
(04:00):
that's a felony.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
That's a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And I you know, if you're at the point where
you have to say that out loud, and you have
to try to explain it. It means the person you're
talking to must be a pervert, a pedophile, or a predator.
There should be no need to have to explain this.
This is not an argument here, This is a statement
(04:24):
of fact. If you're buying and selling teenagers on the street,
that's a felony. You go to prison, directly to prison. Newsom,
listen to all the Democrats who support him, the lieutenant governor,
a lady Canolacus who's also running for governor, the San
Jose mayor, Matt Mahon, and Christine Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi's daughter
(04:50):
who's expected to run for that congressional seat when Nancy
Pelosi finally retires, and she's been writing on Twitter trying
to convince other Democrats that this is a really bad
road to take, especially in this climate, in this environment.
And on the Democrat side, Scott Weener is leading the charge. Yes,
(05:16):
that weirdo, and he says the Republicans are looking for
any opportunity to try to paint Democrats as somehow soft
on crime or not caring about crime, and it's so inaccurate, right,
It's the Democrats don't want to make it a felony
to sell sixteen year old girls on the streets for sex,
(05:41):
and he thinks they're being painted unfairly. Of course, Weiener
wrote a bill in twenty twenty two that decriminalized loitering
with the intent to commit prostitution. Basically, he was legalizing
street prostitution. There's a lot of sick, weirdos up in Sacramento.
(06:05):
He's out of San Francisco, so there's nothing you can
do about that. But this is as nutty as I've
ever seen anything. And Newsome is begging them to stop,
and Carlacus, the Lieutenant governors, begging him. Christine Pelosi, Nancy's daughter,
is begging them and they won't. When we come back,
(06:26):
we'll give you a good flavor of what's going on
in Sacramento. This is perversely enjoyable because they are so stupid.
It's so weird. You must really have an interest in
teenagers for sex to be this defiant. We'll play that next,
the report from Channel three and Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Okay, let's go back to Sacramento to meet with the perverts, pedophiles,
and predators, Tucus. They are insisting that you should be
able to buy sixteen and seventeen year old girls and
boys on the street for sex. No felony, that's what
they're insisting. Ashley Zavala from KCRA Channel three and Sacramento
(07:16):
has a great report on this.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Not only did Democrats block this latest attempt to ramp
up the penalties for the buyers in the child sex
trafficking industry, they also sidelines sidelined to Sacramento's Democratic Assembly
member Maggie Crell, who has made this her life's work.
Democratic leaders promise to keep the conversation going, but they're
leaving Krell, an expert, out of it. They criticized not
(07:40):
just Krell, but also Governor Gavin Newsom. It was Denham
Day in the State Assembly, the annual event when lawmakers
can be seen in jeans and Denham jackets for Sexual
Assault Awareness Month, but some Democrats arrived at the Assembly
floor Thursday hoping to avoid that talk, scrambling to down
a Republican push to vote on a proposed automatic felony
(08:04):
for the buyers or sex solicitors of sixteen and seventeen
year olds. After an hour of closed door planning, Democrats
emerged with a deal that stripped Sacramento's Democratic Assembly member
Maggie Crell from her own bill that tries to crack
down on the consumers of the child sex trafficking industry.
She originally proposed the automatic felony for the older teens
(08:26):
this year, noting state laws are inconsistent for the trafficker
and the buyer, but that piece blocked by the Public
Safety Committee earlier this week.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
I want one thing out of this. I don't care
whether my name's on the bill, but I would happily
support it if it includes protections for sixteen and seventeen
year olds. If it treats them as victims, because they
truly are. If it recognizes the fights that survivors have
led for decades, for the basic understanding that if you're
(08:56):
seventeen years old on a street corner and an old
man comes up in hiches, it.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Is you for sex.
Speaker 6 (09:02):
That's rape.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
That should be treated as a felony.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Crell has spent two decades investigating human trafficking and was
a prosecutor for the California Department of Justice before being
elected to the Assembly last November.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
She was facing a lot of the trauma.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
She was a voice in kse are three's Escaping the
Blade documentary about sex trafficking and Sacramento. In one scene,
a trafficker urged law enforcement to go after the buyers.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
If you want to stop human trafficking and little girls
being put up and now on these streets. If you
want to really stop that, you arrest tricks. You are
rest who demands it. You don't arrest who sells it,
because whoever sells it, they cannot sell it.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
But as the person that was, that's a problem too.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
Back on the Assembly floor, Crell's bill taken over by
Assembly Public Safety Chairman Nick Schultz, who was promising to
keep the conversation going.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
I'm sorry that we couldn't see eye to eye on
solution here.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Some progressive Democrats are worried parents could use the punishment
if they don't approve of their child's inter racial or
LGBTQ relationship with an older teen. Schultz accused the governor,
who supports Krell's push, and the media of spreading false
information about the state's child sex trafficking laws.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
It is important to understand that sixteen and seventeen year
olds minors of any age in the state of California
that are contacted for her sexual purpose that is punishable
as a felony.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Already.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
The governor made a statement earlier this week. I agree
wholeheartedly with the governor's statement to the extent that it
already states existing state law.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
Republicans frustrated.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
We don't need more time, We don't need to study
this anymore.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
We need to make it just and.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Change the law.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
That's what we push to do today, and unfortunately, the
majority of the Democrats decided to continue this disparity. When
it comes to sixteen and seventeen year olds, they are
deserving of justice and protection.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Note during today's debate, the leader of the State Assembly,
Speaker Robert Reeves, sat silently from his desk. He did
not rise to speak. His office handed us this written
statement that says, in part, protecting children and standing up
for victims are among his top priorities this year.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
So I think for those of us watching all of
this unfold, even as well as you explain it, it
is very hard to make sense of any of this.
But I guess the question is what happens now that
we have Assembly Member Schultz carrying the bill. It is
no longer Assembly Member Crawl's bill.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Well, I mean there is a lot of time for
this breather because this was an explosive, abrupt moment. None
of this was planned on the Assembly floor.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But Schultz tells.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
Us that with this bill, it will keep the conversation going,
and he's vowing to get a proposal put together on
this issue that they'll send to the governor by the
end of the summer. He says he still wants to
have hearings on the issue this fall, as he told
us earlier this week. The bill now is sitting in
the Assembly Appropriations Committee and could be changed again in
(12:04):
its next hearing, But we'll just have to see. And
this bill, as long as it's still alive, still has
many hurdles, many committees that could change it, and so
that means that this debate is going to be ongoing
until potentially that felony is put in there.
Speaker 10 (12:18):
But we'll see.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
And we really should point out the urgency with this
that children sixteen and seventeen years old are being victimized
every day, that that is happening, and right here and
right here in Sacramento. Yep, Ashley, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Well.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Who do you think the customers are who are buying
the sixteen and seventeen year olds. Maybe it's some of
the politicians in Sacramento. Maybe it's their staff members. Sacramento
is a government town. If there's a lot of children
being bought for sex on the streets, who do you
think is doing the buying.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's people working for the government. That's a huge percentage
of Sacramento.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
The government workers, the politicians, to the staff members, the lobbyists,
they're the ones buying the sixteen year old girls.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
On a Friday night.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You heard one of the pimps who's selling the girls said,
this bill out a pass. The only way to stop
sex sales in the streets is to go after the buyers.
Even the pips says that everyone from him to Gavin Newsom.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Now listen to this.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
You may have heard there that Maggie Crell, who's again
a Democrat, they're eating their own. Crell has spent two
decades investigating human trafficking. She was a prosecutor, she got
elected to the Assembly, and she's trying to get an
automatic felony now for those who buy were solicit sixteen
(13:51):
and seventeen year olds boys and girls. Maggie Crell, she
was taken off the bill. You know who's taken over.
I don't know if you noticed it. It was so
one named Nick Schultz. Nick Schultz is from Burbank here. Yes,
you people in Burbank elected the guy who is now
(14:13):
the head of the Perverts, Pedophiles and Predators Caucus. He's
the one now blocking Maggie crew from getting this passed.
He wants to continue the conversation. There is no conversation.
Buying teenagers on the streets for sex is bad. No
further conversation. Felony, felony in every other state in the Union,
(14:37):
looking up this Nick Schultz character. He's the chairman of
the Public Safety Committee. He took Maggie Crell's bill away
from her. Now he's got it and he wants to
rewrite it sometime this summer, after having the conversation.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
We come back.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'll give you a background. I mean, this guy represents
this town right here. What the hell where do you
peep doing. Seriously, go up to any guy in the
street in Burbank, anybody, and say, hey, do you think
buying buying sixteen year old girls on the street for
sex should be a felony one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's a felony unless the guy's into it.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
How did we get fifty five people on the Assembly,
fifty five of them who think it's cool to buy
teenagers for sex on the street.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
How's that happen? How are they?
Speaker 1 (15:28):
They seem to be the only fifty five politicians in
the entire country who are for this. I wish I
was making this up. This is not shtick. This is
not an act here, this is the reality. Well, we'll
go through Nick Schultz's biography when we come back.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Holy moly, you can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock,
and if you miss anything, you know what you do.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You go after four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
It gets posted on the iHeart app John Cobelt's show
on demand and you listen to what you missed. And
we are continuing to cover the bizarre happenings in Sacramento.
The Democratic Assembly members, fifty five of them, voted down
the idea that if you're buying sixteen and seventeen year
(16:25):
olds on the street for sex. You should be charged
with a felony. Yes, they're actually against it being a
felony to buy sixteen and seventeen year olds for sex
in the streets. And they have gotten very angry with
one of their own members, a relatively new member, Maggie Krell.
(16:48):
She's from Sacramento and she is a Democrat, and she's
a former prosecutor who spent twenty years investigating human trafficking.
And she said, no, you have to you have to
put the customers in prison for buying the girls and boys.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
That's part of this.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Again, we're the only state in the Union where it's
not a felony. So they're trying to punish Maggie Crow.
And they've taken her bill away, taken her name off
the bill, and now Nick.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Schultz is going to rewrite it.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Nick Schultz is the chair of the Public Safety Committee,
which we are officially renaming the Perverts, Pedophiles, and Predators Committee.
All right, so Nick Schultz is leading the Perverts, Pedophiles
and Predators Committee, and as such, we are going to
(17:43):
examine his background. And I don't know this guy. He
just got elected in November. But it turns out he
was the mayor of Burbank up until last year.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I never knew who the mayor of Burbank was.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
And before that he was vice mayor and a member
of the city council. And this is great. Somebody has
already gotten on his Wikipedia page and written. As chair
of the Public Safety Committee, he has objected to increased
punishments for sex trafficking children, saying that doing so would
not be equitable. Not be equitable? What does that mean?
(18:21):
This is the guy that you elected Burbank to be
your assembly. Is this guy representing your values? Those of
you with sixteen year old girls in Burbank. If somebody
bought your daughter off the street, Nick Schultz doesn't think
it's a crime. He's very young. He's only thirty six.
(18:45):
He got a law degree at the Oregon School of
Law and then he got involved in politics.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
How. I don't know what kind of life experience you
have at the age of thirty six where you decide,
you know what, buying sixteen year old girls so you
can screw them in a motel.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That's cool. I'm with that. And sixteen year old boys too. Yeah, sure,
what the hell?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I how did this guy come about this wisdom? Why?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
And he's so passionate about it.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I mean, this guy is angry with Maggie Crow and
then you ask them why and they go, it's not equitable,
it's not equitable.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
What I almost started cursing?
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Yeah, I caught that.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm almost dropped in as there, you were very close.
That's all I can think of.
Speaker 10 (19:47):
Though you have a daughter, yes, it's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Right, and you know a lot of parents of a
lot of daughters, so do I I have never run
into anyone who says, yeah, somebody bought her on the.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Street for yeah, sure, no, no felony.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So I'm just I'm just begging the people of Burbank here,
could you possibly explain this?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
What are you doing? Where does this come from?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
And he's got fifty four other creeps, some of them women.
How'd that happen? The whole world is upside down? And again,
they do not do this in any other state. They
don't even discuss it. There is no debate. I have
never read an article in my life. All right, for
(20:34):
all the time we've been doing this show, and I
have read I don't know, probably tens of thousands, hundreds
of thousands of articles over the years. Never once have
I encountered an article where a major legislative body collectively
decided that, you know what, okay to buy that sixteen
year old girl and drag her into the back of
your car and have your way. Okay to pay money,
(20:56):
pay cash money right through a pimp. And that's what
floored me in the UH. In the story Ashley Zavalla
did for Casey r A TV and Sacramento Chechaw, you
interviewed a punt pimp on the street and the guy's
going on, no, no, they should pass that bill.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You got to go after the UH, the buyer. You're
not gonna end.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
The sex trafficking until you go after the buyers. Even
the guy making his living selling the sixteen year old
girls is saying, yeah, that's how you end this. So
I'm sitting here wondering, is there some other angle that
I'm not getting Nobody normal seems to understand this. And
(21:42):
are they all perverts, pedophiles and predators in the Assembly
on the Democratic side? Is that committee really made up
of all kinds of of of sexual creeps. I don't know,
but I've never seen people passionate about this.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I mean they were.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I've seen I've seen photos, I've seen news stories here.
They were all yelling at each other. There's a story
here in Politico about how angry other Democrats are with
Maggie Crow because they thought at some point they had
a deal that she wouldn't bring this up, that she
(22:22):
would accept some kind of compromise. Members of her caucus
fumed that she had thrust them into an impossible position.
But what do you mean she forced you into an
impossible position? Think of the impossible positions these sixteen year
old girls are forced into. Try those impossible positions. Imagine
the impossible positions your daughters would be forced into. These
(22:46):
are disgusting. I'll throw the whole Democratic Assembly in into prison.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
They're upset, they're being exposed to bad faith Republican attacks.
It's bad faith not to want girls to be bought
for sex.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Bad faith.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
And in one particularly charged moment on the floor, according
to Politico, one Democrat accused some of the highest constitutional
officers of spreading misinformation. Apparently he's referring to Gavin Newsom
and the Lieutenant governor and Lady Gonelacus. Something misinformation watching
(23:30):
the republic listen to this. Here's a Democratic assembly member
granted anonymity to speak candidly. Watching the Republicans be so
embulded to attack us in the way they did. That
was a hard pill for people to swillow. The Democrats
are blindsided by one of our own. She's trying to
get people who buy teenage girls for sex put in prison.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
What do you mean you're blindsided?
Speaker 1 (23:56):
But they intentionally left this loophole, by the way, And
we're going to be explaining more of that after two
o'clock because we're gonna have Shannon Grove on. And Shannon
Grove is the Republican state senator who wrote a bill
on human trafficking last year, and she was forced to
(24:16):
get most of the bill passed to accept hostile amendments
so that sixteen and seventeen year olds would have be
included in the law when it comes to charging felonies.
So Shannon Grove is going to come on with us afterwards.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
This may be.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
The all time most disgusting, perverted, weird thing I've ever
seen in politics. And they're so angry and so adamant.
I really ought to be locked up in a mental institution.
But hey, you voted for him, by the way, people
in Burbank. Great job on that. Yikes, we've got more
(25:02):
coming up. And then after two o'clock Shannon Grove.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
We are gonna have Shannon Grove on the Republican State
Centaer coming up just after two o'clock because she wrote
the original bill last year that started this whole ruckus
whether buying sixteen and seventeen year olds on the street
for sex should be a felony or not, because she
got a much larger, comprehensive bill passed. But the Democrats
(25:34):
in the Perverts Predators Caucus. Wait a second, there's a
third P in there. What's the third P? It's perverts predators.
I even wrote it down. Oh and pedophiles. Yes, the perverts,
pedophiles and Predator's Caucus. They made Shannon Grove take out
the provision that turns makes it a felony to buy
(25:55):
sixteen and seventeen year olds. All right, well she's coming
on now get this. How lucky is this? Yes, how
lucky is this? Never mentioned this guy's name in my life.
Didn't know he existed. Turns out he was the mayor
of Burbank for the last two years. He's now the
Assemblyman from the Burbank district here Burbank and Glendale, Nick Schultz.
He's now the chairman of the Public Safety Committee. And
(26:19):
he has wrestled away this sex bill from Maggie Croll
who wrote it's allow Democrat, and now he's in charge
of it, and he's going to rewrite it, and he
wants to continue the conversation and they're not going to
do anything about it till the summer. Okay, So he's
the weirdo. Now he's the weirdo who doesn't think that
(26:42):
it's a felony to buy sixteen and seventeen year olds
for sex. Well, look who's having a town hall meeting tonight.
Tonight from seven to nine o'clock, Nick Schultz has a
town hall meeting at the ACF Burbank Youth Center, a
youth center.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Woo, you're gonna get a lot of assemblymen in there. Huh.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
That's at seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue. Seventy five
East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank. Maybe you should go
pay him a visit and ask him why he wants
to protect the guys who buy sixteen year old girls
for sex.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Ask him.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Nick Schultz, seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue in Burbank.
And if you go, please report to us on Monday.
Write to us. Maybe we'll put you on the air.
ACF Burbank Youth Center, a youth center. This is so rich,
like somebody script this for me? Is this a prank?
(27:55):
Is this an elaborate prank? This?
Speaker 10 (27:56):
None of this makes sense to me. I really can't understand.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I don't under Yeah, I agree with you, you Rare. That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
You almost never get an issue where it's like one
hundred percent obvious what to do, and I have zero
percent understanding.
Speaker 10 (28:13):
Yeah, I even I came to John during the break,
I said, what am I missing here? I really don't
get it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
I know, I get Actually when when something like this happens,
I get a little nervous because I feel like, uh, oh,
there's some some big here that we we we don't know,
that we ignored, that we overlooked that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
I don't know, but it can't be this.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
You can't actually have grown men and women in Sacramento
wanting to protect guys who buy teenagers for sex. I
that that that's and it's never happened before. That's the thing.
So we're in a peculiar moment, just specifically here in
California and and specifically here in Burbank with this with
(29:00):
this assembly member and again the former mayor, he Nick
Schult he took the bill away from Maggie Kroll who
wrote it. Oh, by the way, this is another thing.
What was Denham Day in the Assembly yesterday?
Speaker 10 (29:15):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
It was the other day.
Speaker 10 (29:17):
And it talks about you know when women wear tight jeans. Yeah, right,
well it's it's obviously hard to take your jeans off.
But there was a case I forgot exactly where this,
uh this this started, but basically blaming the woman, saying
she has to be able to take the jeans off, right,
it can't. No one could actually take the tight jeans off,
(29:38):
basically saying that she wasn't that she.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Wasn't assaulted because there's no way, no way a guy
could pull them off.
Speaker 10 (29:44):
Yes, if you're wearing tight jeans, she must have.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
She must have helped him.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Yes, So now they all wear tight jeans to the
Assembly one day a year, and it's on the day
they wanted to highlight sexual assault.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Is the day that.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
They decided to give a free past to those who
want to buy sixteen year olds for sex.
Speaker 10 (30:07):
Which makes no sense, right, I mean.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
It, I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Multiple sources told Channel three and Ashley Zavala and Sacramento
that several Democrats didn't want to acknowledge dNaM day publicly
because they want to avoid the sex trafficking conversation. Say
some of them had the self awareness that this looks
really bad. We are highlighting sexual Assault Awareness Month, but
(30:41):
we're giving free reign to perverts to have sex with
sixteen year old girls. I'm telling you, there has got
to be a huge flush of Sacramento. I can't think
that it could be more debates than it is.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Can it be?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
This is the low point. It is a store up there.
It is a moral sewer. It can't be more depraved
than it is now. All right, Well, Shannon Grove is
going to weigh in on this. She's the Republican state
senator at Bakersfield who wrote the original bill last year,
and she'll tell us how it progressed to this absurd moment.
(31:21):
And we'll keep publicizing the town hall tonight in Burbank
seventy five East Santa Anita Avenue. And Nick Schultz, who
runs the Assembly Public Safety Committee, he's the one who
tore the bill out of Maggie Crell's hands and says,
I'll handle this. Deborah Mark live in the CAFI twenty
