Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock,
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand
on the iHeart app, and you get to listen to
what you missed, all right, and helpfully, the podcast is
presented in three separate hours, so if you heard the
first hour but not the third hour, it's easy for
(00:23):
you just down to the third hour, so there's no
excuse for not hearing the entire program. Where thing I
want to open talking about, you know, last week in
front of the Whole Foods on seven sat Day Boulevard,
(00:43):
not far from where I live on the west side
of LA there was a shooting, no excuse me, A
stabbing guy was murdered, stabbed to death. He was a
homeless guy, stab to death right on the sidewalk in
front of the Whole Foods. And a couple of days
later they caught the killer. He's a few doors down
(01:08):
in front of Katsuya, which is a Japanese restaurant, and
I think they're both homeless guys, both veterans. There's a
va down the road not far away, and the animals
get loose out of their cages from time to time
and they get into fights and disputes. And it's not
(01:29):
the first homeless death in the neighborhood. This might have
been the fourth or fifth just in the last few years.
And there's some really nice restaurants and shops along that way,
and you've got to deal with not just frightening homeless people,
drug addicts and mental patients, but occasionally they attack you.
(01:50):
That is the same block, or yeah, it's the same
block where my wife and I we were in our
car and we got chased by a homeless guy who
had some kind of pipe or stick and he was
chasing us down sanve Sente Boulevard because we had slowed
down to take a picture of him because we were
(02:11):
going to send it to the council person and say
this is this is they're back. And he saw what
we were doing, and he ran across two lanes of
traffic and the grass median and then made a left
turn to chase us. We were going in the opposite direction,
and you know, I was scary because we see a
traffic light coming up. It's like, well, do we blow
(02:32):
through the light or do we keep going?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So it was that.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Then there's this guy stabbed to death. The catches catch
the suspect a few days later, the guy did not
leave the neighborhood, did not leave town. On Friday, one
of my wife's friends sent three photos.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Again.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
This is in front of Whole Foods, and boy is
this disgusting. There's a woman completely bent over. She's wearing
a pink sweater top, black pants and white shower slippers,
(03:17):
and she's pulled her pants down to her knees and
she's sticking her rear end almost into traffic. It's almost
hanging off the fact. She looks like she's standing in
the driveway because the sidewalk is sloped, and yeah, she's
about to let it rip. And she's got one of
(03:40):
her hands, she's got a glove on, like a surgical
glove blue, and it looks like she's got like toilet
paper between her legs.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So she's not only relieved herself, she's now wiping.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
At least she was prepared. Yeah, she's very hygienic. Third photo,
she shifted her rear end towards the camera unwittingly, and
oh my god, she's got a pair of black it's
like thong underwear with the toilet paper stuck inside the thong.
(04:24):
I sent you the photos. Yep, looked, well, my phone's
recording you right now. So I was gonna look dur
in the break and she's pulling her pants up. So
the woman sends my wife this. It's the same Whole Foods.
It's the same corner. If you look in the background,
I see the street signs, I see the other businesses,
(04:44):
and it's like, good God.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And the thing is, this is every day, every day.
I got that right.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So Michael Schellenberger is one of my favorite writers. A
must read book if you care about what's going on
is San Francisco and it's about why all the homeless
policies fail because he was in San Francisco and he
used to be part of He's always been politically involved,
(05:18):
civic minded. He was part of the progressive movement, and
he has completely flipped. And he looked around one day
and realized that these people are crazy and they're also
drifting money. That the whole setup is to take tax
money from the federal government in the state and local governments.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
It's it's it's a money making scam and most revealing,
one of the most revealing parts of the book is
when he gets some people because he was friends with them,
worked with them to admit that, yeah, we know none
of this works, but this is good money for all
of us. And is that that moment where everything clicked?
Because for years, nothing on this issue has made sense.
(06:07):
And I've always got this thing in my head when
something doesn't make sense for a long period of time,
then there's a story we don't know. And if we
knew the story, everything would fit together. And in that
moment in Michael Schellenberger's book San Francisco, it all fell together.
I see. That's why it never gets better. And it's
(06:30):
never going to get better. There's too much money in
keeping people living and dying on the streets. And the
thing is they don't care if they die. Now, with
these progressive policies, there's always one important component, and without it,
the scam doesn't work. You have to be really loud
(06:50):
and belligerent and make people feel guilty. You have to
make them feel ashamed that they oppose whatever the program is.
What do you mean you don't want to pay an
extra homeless tax. You want them to die in the streets.
Oh no, of course, I don't want them to die
in the street. Don't you want to help, Don't you
(07:12):
have compassion? And then after a while, after you've paid
the taxes, you realize that the programs doesn't get anyone
off the street. They're still drug addicted, they're still mentally ill,
and hardly any homes are getting built. And if they
do build a few, it's a million dollars an apartment
(07:33):
and it enriches some developer who was in on the scheme.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
But it works. Works.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
We got another half cent sales tax increase just in November.
They know much of the public is ignorant, they know
much of the public doesn't pay attention, and they know
the emotional manipulation and the bellowing works. I mean, it's
really ruined the city in the state for at least
the last ten years. Once they figured out the formula,
(08:04):
and they've got all the all the media to go
along with it. You know all that there's only progressives
working at these newspapers and television stations. For the most part,
it's it's it's all progressive people. They're the producers, they're
the editors, they're the writers, they're that that they write
(08:26):
the headlines. They're the news directors. Not all of them,
but most of them are progressive. So they just amplify
all the failed policies. I don't know if they're getting
some backdoor money to promote this stuff. Nothing would surprise me.
When I come back, I'm going to read you. Michael
(08:47):
Schellenberger wrote another piece along with Christopher Ruffo, who's another
guy who's like cracked the code, and he publishes and
explains a lot of what's really going on, and he
can explain how this works and why Newsom goes along
with it. Newsom is doing a lot of strutting around
beating his chest. I mean, he wants to end homelessness,
(09:09):
and now Trump as an executive order trying to force
all the politicians to end homelessness. And Trump and Newsom
actually earned a lot, a lot in agreement on what
should happen. But Newsom is never going to do what
needs to be done because he does not want to
(09:31):
get the members, the people who are profiting in the
homeless industrial complex. He doesn't want to get them upset.
He doesn't want them to lose their money. I'll tell
you about all this coming up.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Six forty Moistline is eight seven seven Moist Steady six
eight seven seven Moist Steady six, or usually talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app. All right, I was telling you
in the first segment that besieged whole foods in my neighborhood,
and even I'm starting to feel a little sorry for them.
You know, I can't imagine what all those emaciated, pale,
(10:13):
white hit women don't look the same. They all have
long brown hair, ponytails, extremely pale. They all seem to
be vegans, and they buy foods that I can't identify.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I've never seen them before.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And every once in a while my wife sends me
in there to buy something that I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I always have to ask for help.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I can't and I stand behind these women and it's
like it's like a Steppard wife thing. They're all clones, skinny, pale,
brown haired vegans. And yeah, I know they vote for
all these progressive politicians. You can just tell. You can
just tell the kinds of politicians they vote for. And
(10:52):
so there's a shooting the other day, then they stabbing
the other day, then they capture the criminal feudors down
and arrest Then Friday, I just sent Eric the pictures.
Oh my god, a woman bent over, pants down, laying
it out, and then uh, stuff and toilet paper and
(11:14):
her thong and the toilet paper were still stuck in
the thong. And then she pulls up her pants. That's
in front of a grocery store. It's like, why this
can stop? You can fix this, you can get them
off the street quickly. Most towns don't have this. So
(11:37):
here's the why. And I want you to remember this.
If everybody knew this, and if they could clear their
brains of whatever the bizarre political ideology that has infected
their brains. Michael Schallenberger has a story and he opens
with almost seventy percent of California voters passed Prop. Thirty six,
(12:00):
mandates addiction treatment for repeat drug offenders, increases penalties for
fentinel trafficking, and it also made shoplifting a felony a
felony again a crime again. But let's just focus on
mandating addiction treatment for drug offenders and penalties for fentanyl
(12:24):
trafficking and he says. At the same time, San Francisco
elected Daniel Lurie. He's a businessman. His main promise was
he's cleaning up encampments and is going to restore public order.
Oakland got a new mayor and a new DA. LA
got a new deal, Neil a new DA Nathan Hackman.
(12:44):
Even Seattle and Portland, he says, moved towards more moderate leadership. LA.
Though we still have Karen Bass, who's hung up on
Housing First, so is Gavin Newsom. Housing First has been
extremely destructive. Housing for means until a homeless person has housing,
(13:06):
they can't be ordered off the street. And it doesn't
matter what their behavior is, what their condition is. They
could be standing in front of a grocery store taking
a dump or taking a whiz, with toilet paper hanging
out of their butt, crack hanging out of their throng,
and we can't force them off the street. According to
Housing First, Karen Bass, who idolized Fidel Castro, is a
(13:31):
true believer, so is Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, though that
is more of a true believer. Newsom has to blow
with the wind, and there's a strong wind that comes
from the homeless industrial complex, and that's what Schellenberger and
(13:52):
Christopher Ruffo explaining this story. California spends over twenty billion
dollars a homelessness and mental health twenty billion. San Francisco
they spend a billion. And he says, it's a maze
of nonprofits and housing developers and consultants and these groups,
(14:13):
these nonprofit groups, they oppose law enforcement. They sue to
block encampment closures. They pressure city governments to avoid mandates
or requirements. They are a major source of all the
disorder and all the death, people dying in the streets
(14:34):
all over the West Coast. Rufo says the activist infrastructure
is at odds with the public. And he says Newsom
calculates that he's relatively safe from voters, but he's more
vulnerable to these nonprofit, non governmental organizations, these housing first
developers and the ACLU, so he sides with them because
(14:59):
he needs their money, he needs their support. The public
hates all this, but the public can't get him to
change his policies or Karen Bass's policies, because Bass and
Newsom want their money, and they get billions of dollars,
(15:20):
twenty billion dollars from our taxes. They they will never
embrace policies that get mental patients and drug addicts off
the streets. It destroys their business model. They will never
do it. And as long as Newsom and Bass are
dependent on the donations from this class, then Newsom and
(15:45):
Bass will make sure the machine keeps operating and that
my wife and I can't go to the grocery store
without risking getting stabbed or somebody taking a dump on
our shoe. And this is how it works. These nonprofit groups.
(16:07):
They oppose law enforcement, as I said, They believe that
all law enforcement is oppression. And if you try to
intervene and save a person's life by forcing him off
the street into drug or mental health treatment, well that
(16:27):
is traumatic coercion. So law enforcement is oppression. Intervention is
traumatic coercion. And that's what they shout in very angry,
self righteous tones to intimidate any critics. Newsom doesn't govern
(16:52):
for voters, says Schellenberger. Schellenberger, he governs for donors. Alex
Soros is the son of George Soros, who financed much
of the mayem across this country for the last five years.
Alex is now the chairman of Georgie's Open Society Foundations.
Soros is in his nineties and probably going senile. Alex
(17:15):
Though is very young, I believe in his late thirties,
and he's now funding dozens of activist groups across California
and Gavin Newsom, among other politicians. Newsom relies on Soros
and the progressive donor class to support his run for president.
(17:37):
So because Soros's crowd says that law enforcement is oppression,
intervention for the homeless is traumatic coersion, Newsom will never
follow through. And when come back, I'll tell you what
Trump's executive orders would do. Because Trump wants the same
(18:01):
thing that Newsom says he wants, but Newsom is not
going to disrupt the money making machine. Trump will do it.
I'll tell you how.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Coming up, you're listening to John Cobel's on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio on social media. You can listen every day
from one till four and then after four o'clock whatever,
get in here. That's what the podcast is for John
Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. Now, I've
been telling you that Michael Sellenberger and Christopher Rufo had
(18:41):
something that they wrote. It's public dot News is the
name of Schellenberger's site, Public dot News, and I pay it.
It's like twelve dollars a month, and it's worth it.
I've learned more about what's really going on in California
than all the other written media outlets combined. Schellenberger is
(19:01):
great and he tells the truth. And he wrote this
piece which he and Christopher Rufo discussed what the real
story is. Newsom is not going to get homeless people
off the street, and neither is the twenty billion dollars
(19:21):
we spend every year. It's not going to happen because
the big money donors are these left wing nonprofits, non
governmental organizations who donate to Newsom and the Democratic Party,
and they are enjoying getting and keeping the twenty billion
(19:43):
dollars for themselves. So they've constructed this. They've constructed this
facade saying, well, you can't take these people off the street.
Police are oppressive. They're part of the oppression that America
engages in. And not only that, if you try to
(20:07):
get the homeless people off the street and send him
to some kind of rehab, some kind of mental health treatment,
drug addiction treatment. Well, that's coercion. You can't do that
to a human being. You can't oppress them with police.
You can't coerce them with mental health treatment or drug treatment.
And cal Matters had a story on the same thing today.
(20:28):
I mean, I mean, the civilized world is coming to
an agreement that everything in California regarding homeless it's a
big cheat. Everything is rigged. It's a scam, it's a racket.
It's just nonprofit charities enriching themselves knowing that whatever they're
(20:50):
doing is not saving not one homeless person. Marissa Kendall
wrote this piece in cal Matters. Trump call to enforce
bands on encampments echoes Gavin Newsom. Trump's new law and
order approach has striking resemblances to Newsom's. Trump wants cities
(21:13):
to enforce laws that make it illegal for homeless people
to sleep outside sodas Newsom. Trump threatened to withhold funding
from places that don't, so did Newsom. Trump wants to
make it easier to force homeless people into mental health
or treatment addiction, so does Newsom. And that's true. It's
what they say out loud, But Schellenberger points out Newsom
(21:37):
actually doesn't do anything. You may have noticed that pattern
in his life. Why doesn't he do anything because of
the tremendous amount of money that comes in the form
of campaign donations from the homeless industry and those who
finance progressive causes. So Trump's executive order would redirect federal
(22:01):
funding from housing first to treatment first, because right now,
it's impossible to force someone into housing. It's impossible, and
and and these left wing progressives say, well, you can't,
you can't force them, you can't force treatment on them.
You gotta you gotta get them housing first. Well, it
(22:24):
would be treatment first. You don't get any kind of
shelter until you well, first of all, you're forced off
the street, that's number one. Secondly, you must take addiction
treatment or mental health treatment. And then after that we'll
talk about putting a roof over your head. What Trump
would like to do is create a system for involuntary
(22:47):
commitment of people who are addicted or mentally ill. There
you go, that is the centerpiece of a civilized society.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
For this issue.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You force the mentally ill or drug addicted into treatment,
involuntarily commit them period, end of story. Nothing else will work,
Nothing else will ever work. You'll see all these programs
that we spend twenty billion a year on, all of
them failures. Just look at the homeless numbers that they'll
(23:22):
admit to here in Los Angeles, the ones that you'd
that they admit to are atrocious, and they tried to
spin them last week along with all the liars in
the news media.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's like, woll we aren't It's down three percent.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, way way up from six years ago, and way way,
way way up from fifteen years ago. Christopher Russo. Christopher
Rufo says these Trump orders have put the so called
homeless nonprofits into a state of panic because their corrupt system,
(24:02):
which doesn't help people but lines their pockets, is coming
to an end. Federal funding should depend on outcomes, not ideology.
Schallenburger rights cities may be required to clear encampments, prosecute
open air drug dealing, offer structure treatment, and any consent
(24:27):
decrees that cities have made that perpetuates homelessness. You know,
the agreements they made with the ACLU or whoever was
suing them. They have to be challenged and changed in court.
According to Trump's orders. What Trump is saying has to
happen to get rid of the homelessness. Newsom claims to
(24:49):
be in agreement with most of it, but he won't
do it because Newsom is bought.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Newsom is like a cheap hooker.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And he may say he wants to get off the
streets and meet somebody and start a family. No, it doesn't.
Wants to keep doing the tricks because it pays really well.
And he doesn't mind humiliating himself every day. He doesn't
mind going out there and talking exactly like Trump on
homelessness but doing nothing about it because he needs the
(25:27):
money from the progressives to run for president. I know
it's delusional. There's no chance he becomes president. There's no
chance that if he keeps catering to progressive nonprofit philosophies
that he'll ever win anything anywhere outside of stupid California.
But he's not a very bright man. He's hair in
(25:50):
a jawline. Nothing else more coming up.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
John Cobalt Show and Moistline is eight seven seven Moist
eighty six for Friday eight seven seven six six four seven,
eight eight six. We use the talkback feature on the
iHeartRadio app. We were talking about the tremendous amount of
homeless money that gets wasted every year, and it's by design,
it's on purpose. And Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have
(26:24):
not are not going to change the policies. They're going
to keep wasting the money on these homeless nonprofits. People
running these nonprofits, as I told you, to make, make
big six figure salaries, and it's employing a lot of
people who are politically connected, and that's who donates to
Newsom and Basses campaigns, and they figure the rest of
(26:46):
the public isn't paying attention, isn't going to make the connections.
But this is the number one reason why we have
so many mental patients and drug addicts on the street
because of the corruption between Newsome, Bass, other political leaders
and all these nonprofit organizations. I'll give you another example.
Now I mentioned before that here in Los Angeles, in
(27:09):
La County, we have stupidly extended well we've added a
half cent sales tax, permitted tax to go for homelessness.
It absolutely enrages me because all that money is going
to be stolen, billions of dollars. Well, in Sacramento, they're
(27:29):
just a stupid Katie Grimes at the californiaglobe dot Com
has found that Sacramento taxpayers are spending millions of dollars
in homeless money that go to a mobile veterinary clinic
(27:52):
for homeless drug addicts pets. Yes, a mobile veterinary clinic.
I saw a photo of the athlitic. It's a van.
It's like the vans you might see driving around and
you take your dog out to get groomed or get
their nails cut, or maybe a vet treats them there. Well,
in Sacramento they have a veterinary clinic if you're a
(28:15):
drug addict or a mental patient. Rather than pay for
drug and mental health treatment for people, they're gonna pay
to take care of the pets. They're using taxpayer funds
to vaccinate and spay and neuter the pets. Now, Katie
(28:37):
Grimes points out that the government is demanding six hundred
dollars from her if she doesn't relicense her to dogs.
But the mental patients and drug addicts don't have to
pay a license fee. They get to have the dogs
walk the streets with them, including those dangerous psychotic pit polls.
(29:01):
Sacramento has a budget deficit of forty four million dollars,
but they're using tax money to neuter in spay the
pets of thousands of homeless drug addicts.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They're very proud of this.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
The City Sacramento issued this press release saying Front Street
Animal Shelters, Homeless Outreach and Assistant Program is celebrating its
first neuter surgery performed inside its new mobile Vet Airic clinic.
That's right, you're faining tax money so homeless people can
(29:35):
bring their dogs to this mobile clinic to have their
genital snipped. The Animal care service manager Philip Zimmerman said,
this moment has been years in the making.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
They're all so proud of this nonsense.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It's hard to put into words how proud and excited
we are to see it finally in motion. The HOAP
team is rewriting what community animal welfare can look like.
They all should have their pets confiscated. If we have
to pay three hundred dollars for a dog license, then
(30:10):
they should have to pay the three hundred dollars for
the dog license. Well, I guess they would just steal
the money by mugging people.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Saint Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
They passed Measure YOU funding in twenty twelve, a temporary
half sales half set sales tax. But as Katie Grimes writes,
and what I'm trying to tell you, it's actually a
slush fund. Animal enforcement has received almost two million dollars
(30:43):
under Measure You. She says, Now taxpayers are providing drug
addicts homes, apartments, transit passes, food, medical care, and now
we're paying for their pets. It's just astonishing. So when
(31:05):
does this seep into the public's consciousness. It's never ever,
ever going to go away unless you force these people
into treatment or just a victim, just give them busts
and plane tickets to get out so we could live
(31:30):
like most of most people live in America. It's gone
on enough, it's ten years. It's a big junk of
our lives. And try it and again. It'll never get
better because the organizations are designed to keep the homeless
in the street until they die, and they don't care
if they die. And when they do die, Karen Bass
(31:53):
takes credit for reducing the number of homeless on the streets.
Death is part of that cow allright, when we come back,
he can't get worse. In New York City, it's about
to get worse. They have this wacko zoron Mom Donnie
(32:17):
out of the Karen bass mode. He's a full blown
socialist communist. They found a clip of him from a
few years ago where he was very open. He doesn't
see the point of prisons and jails. He doesn't see
the purpose. We'll play you that clip coming up, because
(32:39):
that's what we got here in La Deborah Mark is off.
Today we got Heather Brooker live in the CAFI twenty
four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John
Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show live
on KFI Am six forty from one to four pm
every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime on demand
on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock,
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand
on the iHeart app, and you get to listen to
what you missed, all right, and helpfully, the podcast is
presented in three separate hours, so if you heard the
first hour but not the third hour, it's easy for
(00:23):
you just down to the third hour, so there's no
excuse for not hearing the entire program. Where thing I
want to open talking about, you know, last week in
front of the Whole Foods on seven sat Day Boulevard,
(00:43):
not far from where I live on the west side
of LA there was a shooting, no excuse me, A
stabbing guy was murdered, stabbed to death. He was a
homeless guy, stab to death right on the sidewalk in
front of the Whole Foods. And a couple of days
later they caught the killer. He's a few doors down
(01:08):
in front of Katsuya, which is a Japanese restaurant, and
I think they're both homeless guys, both veterans. There's a
va down the road not far away, and the animals
get loose out of their cages from time to time
and they get into fights and disputes. And it's not
(01:29):
the first homeless death in the neighborhood. This might have
been the fourth or fifth just in the last few years.
And there's some really nice restaurants and shops along that way,
and you've got to deal with not just frightening homeless people,
drug addicts and mental patients, but occasionally they attack you.
(01:50):
That is the same block, or yeah, it's the same
block where my wife and I we were in our
car and we got chased by a homeless guy who
had some kind of pipe or stick and he was
chasing us down sanve Sente Boulevard because we had slowed
down to take a picture of him because we were
(02:11):
going to send it to the council person and say
this is this is they're back. And he saw what
we were doing, and he ran across two lanes of
traffic and the grass median and then made a left
turn to chase us. We were going in the opposite direction,
and you know, I was scary because we see a
traffic light coming up. It's like, well, do we blow
(02:32):
through the light or do we keep going?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
So it was that.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Then there's this guy stabbed to death. The catches catch
the suspect a few days later, the guy did not
leave the neighborhood, did not leave town. On Friday, one
of my wife's friends sent three photos.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Again.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
This is in front of Whole Foods, and boy is
this disgusting. There's a woman completely bent over. She's wearing
a pink sweater top, black pants and white shower slippers,
(03:17):
and she's pulled her pants down to her knees and
she's sticking her rear end almost into traffic. It's almost
hanging off the fact. She looks like she's standing in
the driveway because the sidewalk is sloped, and yeah, she's
about to let it rip. And she's got one of
(03:40):
her hands, she's got a glove on, like a surgical
glove blue, and it looks like she's got like toilet
paper between her legs.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
So she's not only relieved herself, she's now wiping.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
At least she was prepared. Yeah, she's very hygienic. Third photo,
she shifted her rear end towards the camera unwittingly, and
oh my god, she's got a pair of black it's
like thong underwear with the toilet paper stuck inside the thong.
(04:24):
I sent you the photos. Yep, looked, well, my phone's
recording you right now. So I was gonna look dur
in the break and she's pulling her pants up. So
the woman sends my wife this. It's the same Whole Foods.
It's the same corner. If you look in the background,
I see the street signs, I see the other businesses,
(04:44):
and it's like, good God.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
And the thing is, this is every day, every day.
I got that right.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So Michael Schellenberger is one of my favorite writers. A
must read book if you care about what's going on
is San Francisco and it's about why all the homeless
policies fail because he was in San Francisco and he
used to be part of He's always been politically involved,
(05:18):
civic minded. He was part of the progressive movement, and
he has completely flipped. And he looked around one day
and realized that these people are crazy and they're also
drifting money. That the whole setup is to take tax
money from the federal government in the state and local governments.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
That's all it is.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
It's it's it's a money making scam and most revealing,
one of the most revealing parts of the book is
when he gets some people because he was friends with them,
worked with them to admit that, yeah, we know none
of this works, but this is good money for all
of us. And is that that moment where everything clicked?
Because for years, nothing on this issue has made sense.
(06:07):
And I've always got this thing in my head when
something doesn't make sense for a long period of time,
then there's a story we don't know. And if we
knew the story, everything would fit together. And in that
moment in Michael Schellenberger's book San Francisco, it all fell together.
I see. That's why it never gets better. And it's
(06:30):
never going to get better. There's too much money in
keeping people living and dying on the streets. And the
thing is they don't care if they die. Now, with
these progressive policies, there's always one important component, and without it,
the scam doesn't work. You have to be really loud
(06:50):
and belligerent and make people feel guilty. You have to
make them feel ashamed that they oppose whatever the program is.
What do you mean you don't want to pay an
extra homeless tax. You want them to die in the streets.
Oh no, of course, I don't want them to die
in the street. Don't you want to help, Don't you
(07:12):
have compassion? And then after a while, after you've paid
the taxes, you realize that the programs doesn't get anyone
off the street. They're still drug addicted, they're still mentally ill,
and hardly any homes are getting built. And if they
do build a few, it's a million dollars an apartment
(07:33):
and it enriches some developer who was in on the scheme.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
But it works. Works.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
We got another half cent sales tax increase just in November.
They know much of the public is ignorant, they know
much of the public doesn't pay attention, and they know
the emotional manipulation and the bellowing works. I mean, it's
really ruined the city in the state for at least
the last ten years. Once they figured out the formula,
(08:04):
and they've got all the all the media to go
along with it. You know all that there's only progressives
working at these newspapers and television stations. For the most part,
it's it's it's all progressive people. They're the producers, they're
the editors, they're the writers, they're that that they write
(08:26):
the headlines. They're the news directors. Not all of them,
but most of them are progressive. So they just amplify
all the failed policies. I don't know if they're getting
some backdoor money to promote this stuff. Nothing would surprise me.
When I come back, I'm going to read you. Michael
(08:47):
Schellenberger wrote another piece along with Christopher Ruffo, who's another
guy who's like cracked the code, and he publishes and
explains a lot of what's really going on, and he
can explain how this works and why Newsom goes along
with it. Newsom is doing a lot of strutting around
beating his chest. I mean, he wants to end homelessness,
(09:09):
and now Trump as an executive order trying to force
all the politicians to end homelessness. And Trump and Newsom
actually earned a lot, a lot in agreement on what
should happen. But Newsom is never going to do what
needs to be done because he does not want to
(09:31):
get the members, the people who are profiting in the
homeless industrial complex. He doesn't want to get them upset.
He doesn't want them to lose their money. I'll tell
you about all this coming up.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Six forty Moistline is eight seven seven Moist Steady six
eight seven seven Moist Steady six, or usually talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app. All right, I was telling you
in the first segment that besieged whole foods in my neighborhood,
and even I'm starting to feel a little sorry for them.
You know, I can't imagine what all those emaciated, pale,
(10:13):
white hit women don't look the same. They all have
long brown hair, ponytails, extremely pale. They all seem to
be vegans, and they buy foods that I can't identify.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I've never seen them before.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And every once in a while my wife sends me
in there to buy something that I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I always have to ask for help.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I can't and I stand behind these women and it's
like it's like a Steppard wife thing. They're all clones, skinny, pale,
brown haired vegans. And yeah, I know they vote for
all these progressive politicians. You can just tell. You can
just tell the kinds of politicians they vote for. And
(10:52):
so there's a shooting the other day, then they stabbing
the other day, then they capture the criminal feudors down
and arrest Then Friday, I just sent Eric the pictures.
Oh my god, a woman bent over, pants down, laying
it out, and then uh, stuff and toilet paper and
(11:14):
her thong and the toilet paper were still stuck in
the thong. And then she pulls up her pants. That's
in front of a grocery store. It's like, why this
can stop? You can fix this, you can get them
off the street quickly. Most towns don't have this. So
(11:37):
here's the why. And I want you to remember this.
If everybody knew this, and if they could clear their
brains of whatever the bizarre political ideology that has infected
their brains. Michael Schallenberger has a story and he opens
with almost seventy percent of California voters passed Prop. Thirty six,
(12:00):
mandates addiction treatment for repeat drug offenders, increases penalties for
fentinel trafficking, and it also made shoplifting a felony a
felony again a crime again. But let's just focus on
mandating addiction treatment for drug offenders and penalties for fentanyl
(12:24):
trafficking and he says. At the same time, San Francisco
elected Daniel Lurie. He's a businessman. His main promise was
he's cleaning up encampments and is going to restore public order.
Oakland got a new mayor and a new DA. LA
got a new deal, Neil a new DA Nathan Hackman.
(12:44):
Even Seattle and Portland, he says, moved towards more moderate leadership. LA.
Though we still have Karen Bass, who's hung up on
Housing First, so is Gavin Newsom. Housing First has been
extremely destructive. Housing for means until a homeless person has housing,
(13:06):
they can't be ordered off the street. And it doesn't
matter what their behavior is, what their condition is. They
could be standing in front of a grocery store taking
a dump or taking a whiz, with toilet paper hanging
out of their butt, crack hanging out of their throng,
and we can't force them off the street. According to
Housing First, Karen Bass, who idolized Fidel Castro, is a
(13:31):
true believer, so is Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom, though that
is more of a true believer. Newsom has to blow
with the wind, and there's a strong wind that comes
from the homeless industrial complex, and that's what Schellenberger and
(13:52):
Christopher Ruffo explaining this story. California spends over twenty billion
dollars a homelessness and mental health twenty billion. San Francisco
they spend a billion. And he says, it's a maze
of nonprofits and housing developers and consultants and these groups,
(14:13):
these nonprofit groups, they oppose law enforcement. They sue to
block encampment closures. They pressure city governments to avoid mandates
or requirements. They are a major source of all the
disorder and all the death, people dying in the streets
(14:34):
all over the West Coast. Rufo says the activist infrastructure
is at odds with the public. And he says Newsom
calculates that he's relatively safe from voters, but he's more
vulnerable to these nonprofit, non governmental organizations, these housing first
developers and the ACLU, so he sides with them because
(14:59):
he needs their money, he needs their support. The public
hates all this, but the public can't get him to
change his policies or Karen Bass's policies, because Bass and
Newsom want their money, and they get billions of dollars,
(15:20):
twenty billion dollars from our taxes. They they will never
embrace policies that get mental patients and drug addicts off
the streets. It destroys their business model. They will never
do it. And as long as Newsom and Bass are
dependent on the donations from this class, then Newsom and
(15:45):
Bass will make sure the machine keeps operating and that
my wife and I can't go to the grocery store
without risking getting stabbed or somebody taking a dump on
our shoe. And this is how it works. These nonprofit groups.
(16:07):
They oppose law enforcement, as I said, They believe that
all law enforcement is oppression. And if you try to
intervene and save a person's life by forcing him off
the street into drug or mental health treatment, well that
(16:27):
is traumatic coercion. So law enforcement is oppression. Intervention is
traumatic coercion. And that's what they shout in very angry,
self righteous tones to intimidate any critics. Newsom doesn't govern
(16:52):
for voters, says Schellenberger. Schellenberger, he governs for donors. Alex
Soros is the son of George Soros, who financed much
of the mayem across this country for the last five years.
Alex is now the chairman of Georgie's Open Society Foundations.
Soros is in his nineties and probably going senile. Alex
(17:15):
Though is very young, I believe in his late thirties,
and he's now funding dozens of activist groups across California
and Gavin Newsom, among other politicians. Newsom relies on Soros
and the progressive donor class to support his run for president.
(17:37):
So because Soros's crowd says that law enforcement is oppression,
intervention for the homeless is traumatic coersion, Newsom will never
follow through. And when come back, I'll tell you what
Trump's executive orders would do. Because Trump wants the same
(18:01):
thing that Newsom says he wants, but Newsom is not
going to disrupt the money making machine. Trump will do it.
I'll tell you how.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Coming up, you're listening to John Cobel's on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio on social media. You can listen every day
from one till four and then after four o'clock whatever,
get in here. That's what the podcast is for John
Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. Now, I've
been telling you that Michael Sellenberger and Christopher Rufo had
(18:41):
something that they wrote. It's public dot News is the
name of Schellenberger's site, Public dot News, and I pay it.
It's like twelve dollars a month, and it's worth it.
I've learned more about what's really going on in California
than all the other written media outlets combined. Schellenberger is
(19:01):
great and he tells the truth. And he wrote this
piece which he and Christopher Rufo discussed what the real
story is. Newsom is not going to get homeless people
off the street, and neither is the twenty billion dollars
(19:21):
we spend every year. It's not going to happen because
the big money donors are these left wing nonprofits, non
governmental organizations who donate to Newsom and the Democratic Party,
and they are enjoying getting and keeping the twenty billion
(19:43):
dollars for themselves. So they've constructed this. They've constructed this
facade saying, well, you can't take these people off the street.
Police are oppressive. They're part of the oppression that America
engages in. And not only that, if you try to
(20:07):
get the homeless people off the street and send him
to some kind of rehab, some kind of mental health treatment,
drug addiction treatment. Well, that's coercion. You can't do that
to a human being. You can't oppress them with police.
You can't coerce them with mental health treatment or drug treatment.
And cal Matters had a story on the same thing today.
(20:28):
I mean, I mean, the civilized world is coming to
an agreement that everything in California regarding homeless it's a
big cheat. Everything is rigged. It's a scam, it's a racket.
It's just nonprofit charities enriching themselves knowing that whatever they're
(20:50):
doing is not saving not one homeless person. Marissa Kendall
wrote this piece in cal Matters. Trump call to enforce
bands on encampments echoes Gavin Newsom. Trump's new law and
order approach has striking resemblances to Newsom's. Trump wants cities
(21:13):
to enforce laws that make it illegal for homeless people
to sleep outside sodas Newsom. Trump threatened to withhold funding
from places that don't, so did Newsom. Trump wants to
make it easier to force homeless people into mental health
or treatment addiction, so does Newsom. And that's true. It's
what they say out loud, But Schellenberger points out Newsom
(21:37):
actually doesn't do anything. You may have noticed that pattern
in his life. Why doesn't he do anything because of
the tremendous amount of money that comes in the form
of campaign donations from the homeless industry and those who
finance progressive causes. So Trump's executive order would redirect federal
(22:01):
funding from housing first to treatment first, because right now,
it's impossible to force someone into housing. It's impossible, and
and and these left wing progressives say, well, you can't,
you can't force them, you can't force treatment on them.
You gotta you gotta get them housing first. Well, it
(22:24):
would be treatment first. You don't get any kind of
shelter until you well, first of all, you're forced off
the street, that's number one. Secondly, you must take addiction
treatment or mental health treatment. And then after that we'll
talk about putting a roof over your head. What Trump
would like to do is create a system for involuntary
(22:47):
commitment of people who are addicted or mentally ill. There
you go, that is the centerpiece of a civilized society.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
For this issue.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
You force the mentally ill or drug addicted into treatment,
involuntarily commit them period, end of story. Nothing else will work,
Nothing else will ever work. You'll see all these programs
that we spend twenty billion a year on, all of
them failures. Just look at the homeless numbers that they'll
(23:22):
admit to here in Los Angeles, the ones that you'd
that they admit to are atrocious, and they tried to
spin them last week along with all the liars in
the news media.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
It's like, woll we aren't It's down three percent.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Yeah, way way up from six years ago, and way way,
way way up from fifteen years ago. Christopher Russo. Christopher
Rufo says these Trump orders have put the so called
homeless nonprofits into a state of panic because their corrupt system,
(24:02):
which doesn't help people but lines their pockets, is coming
to an end. Federal funding should depend on outcomes, not ideology.
Schallenburger rights cities may be required to clear encampments, prosecute
open air drug dealing, offer structure treatment, and any consent
(24:27):
decrees that cities have made that perpetuates homelessness. You know,
the agreements they made with the ACLU or whoever was
suing them. They have to be challenged and changed in court.
According to Trump's orders. What Trump is saying has to
happen to get rid of the homelessness. Newsom claims to
(24:49):
be in agreement with most of it, but he won't
do it because Newsom is bought.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Newsom is like a cheap hooker.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And he may say he wants to get off the
streets and meet somebody and start a family. No, it doesn't.
Wants to keep doing the tricks because it pays really well.
And he doesn't mind humiliating himself every day. He doesn't
mind going out there and talking exactly like Trump on
homelessness but doing nothing about it because he needs the
(25:27):
money from the progressives to run for president. I know
it's delusional. There's no chance he becomes president. There's no
chance that if he keeps catering to progressive nonprofit philosophies
that he'll ever win anything anywhere outside of stupid California.
But he's not a very bright man. He's hair in
(25:50):
a jawline. Nothing else more coming up.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
John Cobalt Show and Moistline is eight seven seven Moist
eighty six for Friday eight seven seven six six four seven,
eight eight six. We use the talkback feature on the
iHeartRadio app. We were talking about the tremendous amount of
homeless money that gets wasted every year, and it's by design,
it's on purpose. And Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have
(26:24):
not are not going to change the policies. They're going
to keep wasting the money on these homeless nonprofits. People
running these nonprofits, as I told you, to make, make
big six figure salaries, and it's employing a lot of
people who are politically connected, and that's who donates to
Newsom and Basses campaigns, and they figure the rest of
(26:46):
the public isn't paying attention, isn't going to make the connections.
But this is the number one reason why we have
so many mental patients and drug addicts on the street
because of the corruption between Newsome, Bass, other political leaders
and all these nonprofit organizations. I'll give you another example.
Now I mentioned before that here in Los Angeles, in
(27:09):
La County, we have stupidly extended well we've added a
half cent sales tax, permitted tax to go for homelessness.
It absolutely enrages me because all that money is going
to be stolen, billions of dollars. Well, in Sacramento, they're
(27:29):
just a stupid Katie Grimes at the californiaglobe dot Com
has found that Sacramento taxpayers are spending millions of dollars
in homeless money that go to a mobile veterinary clinic
(27:52):
for homeless drug addicts pets. Yes, a mobile veterinary clinic.
I saw a photo of the athlitic. It's a van.
It's like the vans you might see driving around and
you take your dog out to get groomed or get
their nails cut, or maybe a vet treats them there. Well,
in Sacramento they have a veterinary clinic if you're a
(28:15):
drug addict or a mental patient. Rather than pay for
drug and mental health treatment for people, they're gonna pay
to take care of the pets. They're using taxpayer funds
to vaccinate and spay and neuter the pets. Now, Katie
(28:37):
Grimes points out that the government is demanding six hundred
dollars from her if she doesn't relicense her to dogs.
But the mental patients and drug addicts don't have to
pay a license fee. They get to have the dogs
walk the streets with them, including those dangerous psychotic pit polls.
(29:01):
Sacramento has a budget deficit of forty four million dollars,
but they're using tax money to neuter in spay the
pets of thousands of homeless drug addicts.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They're very proud of this.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
The City Sacramento issued this press release saying Front Street
Animal Shelters, Homeless Outreach and Assistant Program is celebrating its
first neuter surgery performed inside its new mobile Vet Airic clinic.
That's right, you're faining tax money so homeless people can
(29:35):
bring their dogs to this mobile clinic to have their
genital snipped. The Animal care service manager Philip Zimmerman said,
this moment has been years in the making.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
They're all so proud of this nonsense.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
It's hard to put into words how proud and excited
we are to see it finally in motion. The HOAP
team is rewriting what community animal welfare can look like.
They all should have their pets confiscated. If we have
to pay three hundred dollars for a dog license, then
(30:10):
they should have to pay the three hundred dollars for
the dog license. Well, I guess they would just steal
the money by mugging people.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
Saint Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
They passed Measure YOU funding in twenty twelve, a temporary
half sales half set sales tax. But as Katie Grimes writes,
and what I'm trying to tell you, it's actually a
slush fund. Animal enforcement has received almost two million dollars
(30:43):
under Measure You. She says, Now taxpayers are providing drug
addicts homes, apartments, transit passes, food, medical care, and now
we're paying for their pets. It's just astonishing. So when
(31:05):
does this seep into the public's consciousness. It's never ever,
ever going to go away unless you force these people
into treatment or just a victim, just give them busts
and plane tickets to get out so we could live
(31:30):
like most of most people live in America. It's gone
on enough, it's ten years. It's a big junk of
our lives. And try it and again. It'll never get
better because the organizations are designed to keep the homeless
in the street until they die, and they don't care
if they die. And when they do die, Karen Bass
(31:53):
takes credit for reducing the number of homeless on the streets.
Death is part of that cow allright, when we come back,
he can't get worse. In New York City, it's about
to get worse. They have this wacko zoron Mom Donnie
(32:17):
out of the Karen bass mode. He's a full blown
socialist communist. They found a clip of him from a
few years ago where he was very open. He doesn't
see the point of prisons and jails. He doesn't see
the purpose. We'll play you that clip coming up, because
(32:39):
that's what we got here in La Deborah Mark is off.
