Speaker 3 (00:15):
What are we celebrating?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh, it's exciting. You don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
There's a parade coming for you?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Then?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
No, Today, First of all, it's John Cobelt Show AM
sixporting live everywhere on the iHeartRadio App. We're on from
one until four, and then after four o'clock John Cobelt
Show on demand on the iHeart App.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Today is the.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Day that Prop thirty six becomes the law here in California.
Today's the day that thieves can be charged with crimes
again and sent to jail. This is the day that
repeats drug users can be charged with time and sent
to either rehabber jam.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
This is the day that fentanyl dealers can be sent
to jaim. How about that.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's been ten years of George Gascon's Prop forty seven,
and finally people woke up last month and voted seventy
to thirty to get rid of that stupid law which
legalized theft, legalized public drug addiction, and for once now
we're going to go after the fetnel crisis. And no
(01:33):
one better to celebrate with than Todd Spitzer, the Orange
County District Attorney, because Todd joined us way back. I
think it was in February where well over one thousand
KFI listeners gathered at the Honda Center in Anaheim and
we had a signature gathering drive that day. People drove
in from all over the place and signed the petitions
(01:55):
and that's what helped get this on the ballot and
stayed on the ballot, fighting off Governor Newsom's machinations to
try to block this thing, and eventually it had passed
seventy thirty. Let's get Todd Spitzer on. Todd you should
you deserve congratulations too?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well so do you? I mean, listen, John, that was
a great event. I want to thank Ray Lopez and
your entire crew. Look, this was a team effort, right,
I mean, but think about what you just said in
introducing the subject. We had forty seven to forty seven
ten years ago, and we had to live with this
for ten years, and things had to get so bad, right,
(02:32):
smashing grabs, people overdosing on Sentinel. Things had to get
so bad, And it took ten years to get some
laws on the books that might restore some sanity to
how we run our judicial you know, our judiciary and
our criminal justice system here in California. You said something
funny that when you said people finally woke up. You
(02:53):
got to remember, right, it's what Cospop forty seven was
woke ism, and the woke pride themselves on having been awakened.
And yet it was that whole world policy that everybody
can be rehabilitated, right, that no one should be held
responsible for anything that they do against another person or
(03:15):
society in terms of faft or other kinds of offenses.
I mean, people have lost their businesses, businesses have closed.
We came out of the pandemic and people are already struggling,
and then you have the smashing grabs and all this abuse.
Today you're gonna love this. We got our first case
under Prop thirty six from Fullerton Police Department today for
(03:39):
a repeat drug offender. So we got our first case
today already under Prop thirty six.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Now, what's going to happen to this guy, what's the
new method?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Welcome.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
We're gonna have to review the case. But assuming and
I'm talking to the abstract because I haven't seen all
the facts, but let's assume this is a fileable case
and this person is a repeat drug offender. They're going
to be offered a program, and if they take the program, great,
go through the program, and maybe with this conviction hanging
over your head, you might change your behavior. But if
(04:13):
you don't change your behavior, because you've shown repeatedly that
you're not going to change your behavior, you're looking at
going to state prison. Now, you guys have a little
bumper on Chad Bianco, the sheriff of Riverside County, saying,
you know, hey, he doesn't have any jail beds that
are already under I think some kind of federal consent
to career something about you know, releasing people because they
(04:35):
have overcrowding. We don't have that problem in Orange County.
In fact, if you listen to our good Sheriff Don Barnes,
it's like he's got a sign right outside of our
jail room at the end. Okay, And we want people
to get treatment, We absolutely want them to get treatment.
But what people need to understand today, we're going to
have laws on the books that if the individual doesn't
(04:58):
take responsible for themselves and does something to change their
previous history and behavior, then they're going to go to prison.
And you know what this idea, oh from the governor right,
You're gonna have prison over crowding. We're gonna have all
these problems. We don't have enough. You know what, he
didn't listen to the electorate this whole entire time. He
(05:21):
tried to come up with that poison pill with the
bill packages to try to sabotage Prop thirty six. And
what did the voters say, Governor, you're still out of touch.
You don't even know what you're doing. And we're going
to take the law into our own hands. And that's
what the public did. It took the law into its
own hands.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
They could build new prisons.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
If we end up with so many people that has
to be that have to be incarcerated, that that's not
a problem. They've been closing prisons. They don't have to
do that. They can open up new ones or reopen
the old ones. I mean that that's nonsense. We should
have enough prisons to accommodate the current number of criminals
that need that need in car period. There's no magic
(06:02):
number of prisoners or a magic number of prisons.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, there isn't. In California has some of the largest
numbers of gang members and other serious criminals in the
entire nation. So of course we're going to have prisons.
This idea that a state the size of California, with
all the issues that's facing California, and it's largest, right,
why people come here from all over the world, whether
it's Chile or Romania to commit crimes. You know, there's
(06:29):
a town hall tonight in the city of Irvine because
of you know, different burglaries that have occurred in last week.
And my point being is that we have tolerated people
coming from all over the world. John pointing out that
they can get away with these things because nothing happens
(06:49):
to them here in the United States or California. And
I'm hoping, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. We're ready, we're organized,
we have our act together, and we're going to start
prosecuting these cases and we're going to see what happens.
But just might mark my word, because you're going to
have me back on in about a year and you're
going to say, well, tell me how it's going. And
what Chad Bianco said is if you listen to his
(07:10):
sound bite, he said in that interview, I need the
cooperation of the Board of Supervisors and the state of California.
In other words, in order to make it work, it's
going to require cooperation from all levels of government. And
guess what Newsom and the state democratically controlled legislature want
Prop thirty six to fail so they can say I
(07:32):
told you so.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And there's still a lot of woke county supervisors. We
have at least four of them here in La County,
and there's plenty of politicians that would like to undermine
the implementation of Prop thirty six. And this is where
the public's got to pay attention. The way they woke
up this year and voted for thirty six, they got
to wake up and pay attention to what city councils
(07:55):
and boards of supervisors and their legislators and the governor
do because they are going to work full time to
undermine everything that was accomplished in the last year.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Well, you've never been shy, that's what you do. And
you've You've perfected the science, and I've tried to do
it as the DA. We do not let these people rest.
We've exposed them for what they are. We've explained it
to the public. The public listens to you. You have
a huge following Orange County residents, three point three million people,
the sixth largest district attorney's office in the country that
(08:27):
I run. People listen. If you remember, Orange County past
Prop thirty six at higher numbers than any large county
in California. I'm so proud of the fact that Orange County.
You know, voters and citizens listen, and they don't want
to put up with this, and they expect a quality
of life in exchange for their taxes and their hard
(08:49):
working conditions and what they want for their families. And
your job and my job is to protect that for
the listening public and my constituents, so that we can
ensure them a quality of life that they deserve. No
one should ever be apologetic for wanting to live in
a safe community.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
No, and you're right.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
In Orange County, seventy six percent of voters voted for
Prop thirty six. I know this because I have the
the article you wrote in the Orange County Register last month.
That's how I learned that statistic. You're on top of things, Todd.
Thanks very much. I think we kicked this off last
February in a great manner that day, and that really
(09:29):
provided a lot of rocket fuel to the whole movement
here in southern California.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Keep up the good work, and thank you sir.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
We'll talk soon.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Todd Spitzer, the Orange County DA, And yes, we will
be celebrating this all day. It's a rare day when
there's a new law that makes life more difficult for criminals,
and you don't put up with any excuses. You gave
it a ten year run. This was a ten year
social experiment and it was miserable. It was awful. We'll
(09:58):
continue discussing this when we come back. Deborah Mark, it
still is Deborah Marked.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Oh it is?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah? Yeah, OK. KFI AM six forty and she's got
the news.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But I don't think I told you that the Moist
Line is running for the last time this year. On
Friday eight seven seven, Moist eighty six eight seven seven
Moist eighty six and if you can't spell on the phone,
it's eight seven seven sixty six four seven eight eight six.
Talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app works as well, and
we'll run two rounds of the moist line coming up
(10:36):
on on Friday. Don't forget the Christmas music for that's.
Oh and we also have to get the Tony Vallar
Christmas Carol. All right, that's an annual tradition. And just
in general, if you play any Christmas music, limit it
to Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, that sort of thing.
(10:56):
I was saving that for Friday. Let me tell you
what I don't want to hear, Like, I'll walk out
and come back for a month. I don't want to
hear Mariah Carrey, fine by me. Mariah Carey makes my
ears bleed. There was one day, I don't know, we
were out and every restaurant or shopping mall we were
going to, or every time we turn on the radio,
it's her screeching.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's like cats in a blender. I cannot take.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That shot in a blender.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Throw some cats in a blender.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Aren't you being a little harsh? No, I mean she's
not my favorite, but I wouldn't say cats.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Whatever frequency she's on, my system can't handle.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
It because you're jealous, because you can't reach those high notes.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Because I'm jealous. Yes, I'd like to see him try
to reach those.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
No, no, there's no singing coming out of me ever
for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, no singing.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
In any event, we got we got, We got the
moistline coming up on Friday twice. Now onto the celebration today,
and it's gonna be all day.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We're every hour, we're gonna have something to commemorate. Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Prop Dirty it actually becomes law today. In fact, we
just had Todd Spitzer on who's the DA in Orange
County as you know, and he announced the first Prop
thirty six case as has been filed from the City
of Fullerton. It has to be reviewed to see that
it meets the proper criteria. But we're talking about a
guy who's a repeat to drug offender and didn't stop
(12:23):
taking drugs and he's still causing trouble. So now he's
going to get a choice. He's going to go to
a rehab program, and he must take that rehild program
where he goes to jail it's simple, and this is
what we used to do pre George Gasconon, pre Kamala Harris.
When you go back to twenty fourteen, and I know
many of you must have voted for Prop. Forty seven
(12:44):
at the time because they lied to you. And Kamala
Harris was the biggest liar of all when she wrote
the title in summary that called it the Safe Neighborhood
in Schools Act. And she still has yet to have
a single reporter question her about that atrocity, still waiting
for the first one who is in so woke that
he's too embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They don't want to get the other media members, their friends,
mad I really don't understand that, you know. And they're
all whining now about how these journalism outfits are falling apart.
If just look in the news, you know, the CNN
is at record low ratings, at MSNBC's at record low ratings,
and the Los Angeles Times the owner is in a panic.
(13:31):
Washington Post is in a panic because circulation has gone
way down, readership has gone way down.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And why because they're dishonest.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
They're dishonest in what they print, They're dishonest in what
they omit from printing. And one thing that was omitted
this year during the campaign was why did people vote
on Prop forty seven ten years ago? And the title
of it was the Safe Neighborhood in Schools Act? Where
was the news story on how that even came to be? Like,
(14:02):
whose idea was that?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I diet?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
It's hers? Because she can't put six words together. So
some woke staff member And did she not read it?
Did she just sign the order to make that the
official title of the ballot measure? I don't know, but
nobody ever explains anything. But now it's gone, all right.
Not only was Prop forty seven repealed with Prop thirty six,
(14:24):
George Gascon himself got repealed and Nathan Hockman is taking over.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And so it's gonna work little by little, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You're not gonna see something dramatic happen in a day
or a week or a month, but over the course
of time, every day you'll have more and more thieves
and drug addicts and sentinel dealers get charged. Eventually they'll
either plead, they'll get sentenced, they'll take rehab and they'll
be off the streets, or they'll learn the lesson and
(14:54):
stop committing crimes. Or maybe they'll move out of town
and go steal somewhere else and be passed out in
somebody else's city, and it'll be a gradual climb out.
I'm telling you, I didn't even realize what an effect
Prop forty seven would had. On paper looked terrible, but
I because we cover this stuff every day, I started
(15:16):
noticing story after story, and it's things I'd never seen
or heard of before, starting with the massive homelessness and
all the drug addict behavior in the streets, and then
the thefts, and you know, my CBS has got everything
under lock and key. You can't buy it too it
but tooth based, you know. And it happened very gradually, little
(15:38):
by little, pandemic accelerated it because bad behavior was allowed
to run them up. Remember they stopped, they stopped bothering
people in the homeless encampments, they stopped enforcing the law
in so many places, and suddenly, you know, by twenty
twenty three, this place was a zoo, an outdoor mental institution,
(16:00):
and it all came from George Gascon and Kamala Harris.
In twenty fourteen, it was drip Drip, Drip day after
day after day, and you suddenly saw things that you
never saw before. And then you had politicians the liars
in the media constantly tell you that what you're seeing
is not real. All right, you know, we have some
statistics here in that show that crimes actually dap. They
(16:23):
just lied, They just make stuff up. It's like this
drone situation. No, those aren't really drones. Okay. Now, Joe
Biden really is not senile. And the guy had to
fall practically faced down on the stage before everybody had
been It's like, wow, you know, he's running in bad shape,
isn't he.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Kamala Harris everybody thought was an idiot until she ran
from president this year, and she was like the.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Part of the great Awokening.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I mean, I've never in my life lists such nonsense,
just such bullcraft, day after day after day being shoveled
on us.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So stay awake.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We've got to track this stuff now because I'm telling
you all the legislature, legislators, the governors, the idiot supervisors
in La County and in other counties, they're going to
try to undermine this.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
So we have to.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We will bring you every single story every time somebody
tries to undermine Prop thirty six if we can find
any media that reports this stuff. All right, I'm gonna
take arrest now. A deep breaths, yes, all.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Right, Debor Mark Day continues live in KFI Day. Thank
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am six.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Forty celebrating today's the first day. Prop thirty six is law,
first day after being passed seventy to thirty in the
state of California. People fed up with woke politics, woke crime,
progressive a holes that ruined our life for the last
ten years.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And one thing that.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Of course is never reported on, never discussed publicly, the homelessness,
came out of Prop forty seven.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I'll explain.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Because drug addicts were allowed to be drug addicts and
were not forced into treatment or forced into jail, they
started living on the streets. There was nothing to disrupt
their behavior, and obviously every day they needed more money
to buy more drugs. There was nothing to interrupt the cycle.
(18:40):
So to get more money they had to steal.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Prop forty seven legalized stealing, so they could steal, buy
the drugs, use the drugs. Obviously they're not going to work. Obviously,
they can't afford to live in a traditional home or apartment,
so what happened? They're living in the sidewalks, in the
parks in front of your kids' school. That's all Prop
(19:05):
forty seven. We didn't have these issues in La to
this extent. There was skid row that was about it,
and suddenly he was showing up in places nobody had
seen it before. I remember when we went to the
Santa Ana riverbed and I think this was twenty seventeen,
massive homeless encampment. I'd never seen anything like it, all
(19:29):
the people strung out on drugs. I remember one young
woman was actually strikingly pretty, living in a tent, completely
glazed over. Tried to interview her, she was incoherent.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I was like, what happened with her? What happened with
all these people?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Some of them didn't look like your traditional Yeah, we
know what street people look like, the drug addicts and
the alcoholics and all that, but these were like normal
looking people. Well, Fentonel had come to town because of
the complete border failure, and that really accelerated during the pandemic.
(20:06):
But it was all Prop forty seven. This wasn't happening
in other cities, it was happening here. We had the
crazy thing. I traveled a lot this year, and my
kids travel and live in other states. First thing they
notice is, Wow, nothing's locked up at the drug store.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It's sport of God. My son called me after he'd
moved to North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
He called back and said, they don't lock up the toothpaste. Yes,
they don't lock up the toothpaste. Oh, and they hand
out plastic bags without asking you. But that's another story.
It was all Prop forty seven and Gavin Newsom by
twenty eighteen. It was such a problem that when and
(20:51):
this is a story from cal Matters, and I kind
of like these year end stories that some of the
publications are bothering. It's not only a year story, it's
like a look back on six years of Gavin Newsom.
And you need this stuff because we all forget think
of all the crazy things that have happened in the
last six years. It's hard to remember a day when
(21:13):
Gavin Newsom wasn't the governor. But he started six years
ago and as cal Matter says, many promises of decisive
action on major issues, among them housing in homelessness. He
pledged to appoint a homelessness czar to attack the crisis.
Twenty eighteen, he and the legislature allocated billions of dollars. Now,
(21:41):
the auditor for California this year says that Newsom has
spent twenty four billion dollars nine different agencies. Newsom had
created some kind of monster called the Interagency Council on
Homelessness whoo, and they blew the twenty four billion. The
(22:07):
state's auditor is a man named Grant Parks, and Parks
said that they failed to track how the billions of
dollars were being spent. Not only that, they never determined
which programs were effective. So they Gavin Newsom blew twenty
four billion dollars in homelessness and never tracked where the
(22:27):
money went, and never tracked whether any of the programs
actually did any good. Cow matters continues. As the crisis continued,
reporters questioned Newsome about having a czar who could cut
through the red tape and attack homelessness effectively, and Newsom
(22:49):
snapped back, I never heard this quote. You want to
know who the homeless are is, I'm the homeless are
in the state of California. Okay, he's the homeless talk.
Now he's one hundred percent responsible, which means he's one
hundred percent responsible for blowing the twenty four billion dollars
in getting nothing for it. Then Newsom started blaming local
(23:13):
governments for not spending the state homeless grants effectively. Well,
if you tracked it, you would have known that right away.
But the locals know that you're not tracking it. So
what do they do. They give it to all those
fake criminal nonprofits that their friends and relatives have set
up to siphon off billions out of the system. For example,
(23:39):
Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority LASA, you've
heard of it. LA City, LA County joined to create LASA.
They have a budget of eight hundred and seventy five
million dollars a year. It's almost a billion dollars. Here's
audit number two. The counties are auditor said that the
(24:02):
agency is constantly like making payments, does not track how
the money is spent, and shifts the money from one
program to another, even though these programs have different purposes.
In other words, it's a mix. It's a disaster. It's
a disaster on the state level, it's a disaster on
the county and city level, and twenty four billion dollars
(24:24):
went bye bye, not to mention the billions that we
spend locally here with their stupid sales taxes. So the
local governments are angry with Newsom for blaming them, but
they should be blamed. Newsom is angry because everyone else
is blaming him, and he should be blamed. You know
(24:46):
what comes down to, and I'm kind of tired of this.
I'm kind of tired of like debating the best programs
and trying to understand how to maintain a proper stream
of funding. It's the people running these programs. They're either stupid,
bid like newsom is, are corrupt like most of the
bureaucrats that hand out money to the nonprofits. Tell me,
(25:08):
tell me the bureaucrats handing out the money are not
getting kickbacks. Tell me that they're not getting bribes to
direct the money. None of it's going to help the homeless.
You can see that with your own eyes. Making this
a full circle. This is why passing Prop forty seven
(25:30):
was such a disaster, because it made public drug addiction possible,
which meant they had to steal. Stealing was now basically legal.
And if they're stealing, making money, spending the money on drugs,
(25:51):
they've got to live in the streets. And the cities
decided not to enforce street living either. Suddenly all the
laws against living in a tent on a sidewalk, we're ignored. Well,
if you don't enforce laws on drug addiction, you don't
enforce laws on stealing, you don't enforce laws on living
(26:11):
in public places.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
What are you gonna get.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You're gonna get California La of the last ten years.
And that's why nothing And we said this, we said
this all year. Nothing gets better, Nothing gets better without
Prop thirty six, without repealing Prop forty seven.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You've got to put thieves in jail. You got to
put drug addicts either in rehab or in jail. You
got to go after fento miel dealers, because that's why
we have so many bent over zombies in the city
and in the state. You have to do that. It's
absolutely mandatory. And you have to stop electing the stupid.
(26:54):
Let Gavin Newsom run for president. Let him embarrass himself. Actually,
he's gonna embarrass the whole state. People are going to
be looking and saying how did you people vote him
into office for eight years? And then I read four
articles in two days. But Kamala Harris is next in
line to be governor and she may be the only
(27:14):
politician who's dumber the gavenous.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Oh I remember she made it the Safe Neighborhood Schools
Act Prop. Forty seven. That's what would be coming next?
What for the next four eight years? Really is that
really going to happen?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Allright?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
We come uh, well, I mean after two o'clock, we're
going to talk to Matt Cappelado. Matt, his daughter Alexandra
died back in twenty nineteen, thought she was taking a percocet,
turned out to be poisoned with fentanyl, and Coppolato has
spent years trying to get legislation passed the corrupt legislature
(27:56):
and could it they wanted to protect protect fentanyl dealer. Well,
finally Prop thirty six is going to make the difference,
and we're going to talk to Matt Coppolatto. Coming up.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Coming up after two Mac Coppolaudo, his daughter Alexandra died
a few years ago from fentanyl poisoning. She thought she
was taking a percoset, and that led Matt on a
quite an odyssey for years trying to get legislation passed
in Sacramento to go after the fentinyl dealers. And they
wouldn't do it because California legislators, you know, one of
(28:37):
the groups they worship, what did I tell you it's
three groups, criminals and illegal immigrants and homeless people. Well,
they didn't want to make they didn't want to have
a set of fentinyl crimes on the books that would
send the dealers to prison. Yes, Coppolato finally got what
he wanted with Prop thirty six passing. We'll talk to
(28:58):
Matt coming up. Today is the day the Prop thirty
six goes into law. I just have a short time
here before Dever's News. Perfect place to do a Penis story.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
We love Penis stories.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Well that's getting saved. Oh please don't, it's too late now.
He seemed to be a little too enthusiastic.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Well, you know, I mean the Dow takes a dive.
You know, we have the down story.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Well, I don't know if this is an up or
a down story. It depends on your point of view.
All right, So this guy goes to the doctor. I
know it sounds like a joke, but it's a true story.
In fact, I have an X ray here in front
of me. He's in his sixties, and he went to
the doctor because he had some kind of knee trauma.
All right, he had a knee injury. And while he's
(29:48):
talking to the doctor, he says, I also have a
pain in my penis. So the doctor didn't find any
prostrate swelling or any unusual discharge. Oh god, it's a
really awful phrase, an awful word, And there were no
usual markers.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
So they took an X ray.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
They thought maybe he had a fractured pelvis, and what
they found is that his penis was.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Turning to bone. Now I don't know if this is
a problem or not, but.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
He had extensive plaque like calcification all along, all along
the length of his penis. Okay, it's called penile ossification.
Calcium salts collect in the penis tissues, forming an extra
skeletal structure very much like a bone. So you know bone,
(30:43):
there's a lot of calcium in bones. He had so
much excess calcium it was hardening the tissues in his
penis into bone. Oh god, His wife said, I don't
see a problem. Really, maybe that was a mistress. His
wife said, enough of you. He's one of just forty
(31:05):
patients to be diagnosed with the condition. You know how
they treat it.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
You're the one with penis.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
So well, you're making an assumption. Aren't you going to
say that you don't know how identify?
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
The condition is treated with shockwave therapy, sonic pulses to
break the bone into little bits. Yes, they send these
shockwaves to the penis, hoping that this this new penile
bone starts to crumble.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
No, thank you, ayah. I think I'd rather keep the.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Way it is. And they don't know actually what's caused this?
Uh that there's another thing to worry.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
About, you know, Well, I don't have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
No, you don't. I have to worry. You have to worry.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
The causes are metabolic disorders, could be kidney disease, repeated
trauma to.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
The penis, repeated trauma, repeated trauma.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Well, what causes repeated trauma.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
To repeated aggressive sex? That can happen every once in
a while. I don't want to get into details here.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
But we don't want to hear them.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You can ask Nannis Rodman. Oh yeah, that's right. What
was that?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I remember he broke his penis? Yes, that can happen. Well,
sometimes I can't come.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
You need to go.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
You don't need to explain. I understand what you said.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
You know, if if one of the two partners is
getting a little.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Too aggressive, I get it already.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Okay, you're the one who says.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I love penis stories.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
What you say? I didn't hear that.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
What you say we love penis stories.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
There we go. Oh you got one. Uh, all right,
we come back.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Mack Coupola on to talk about finally finally getting some
crimes on the books against fentanyl dealers. PROP thirty six
is accomplishing that. Matt is going to come on with us.
It was a long, long wait for him. Deborah Mark
is live in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
(33:18):
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can I AM six forty You're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Today's a day of celebration.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
What are we celebrating?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh, it's exciting. You don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
You don't know.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
No, nobody tells me anything.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh, the city declared a Deborah Mark Day. You didn't
hear that?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah, Oh my gosh, what do I get?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
There's a parade coming for you?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Then?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
No, Today, First of all, it's John Cobelt Show AM
sixporting live everywhere on the iHeartRadio App. We're on from
one until four, and then after four o'clock John Cobelt
Show on demand on the iHeart App.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Today is the.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Day that Prop thirty six becomes the law here in California.
Today's the day that thieves can be charged with crimes
again and sent to jail. This is the day that
repeats drug users can be charged with time and sent
to either rehabber jam.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
This is the day that fentanyl dealers can be sent
to jaim. How about that.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's been ten years of George Gascon's Prop forty seven,
and finally people woke up last month and voted seventy
to thirty to get rid of that stupid law which
legalized theft, legalized public drug addiction, and for once now
we're going to go after the fetnel crisis. And no
(01:33):
one better to celebrate with than Todd Spitzer, the Orange
County District Attorney, because Todd joined us way back. I
think it was in February where well over one thousand
KFI listeners gathered at the Honda Center in Anaheim and
we had a signature gathering drive that day. People drove
in from all over the place and signed the petitions
(01:55):
and that's what helped get this on the ballot and
stayed on the ballot, fighting off Governor Newsom's machinations to
try to block this thing, and eventually it had passed
seventy thirty. Let's get Todd Spitzer on. Todd you should
you deserve congratulations too?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Well so do you? I mean, listen, John, that was
a great event. I want to thank Ray Lopez and
your entire crew. Look, this was a team effort, right,
I mean, but think about what you just said in
introducing the subject. We had forty seven to forty seven
ten years ago, and we had to live with this
for ten years, and things had to get so bad, right,
(02:32):
smashing grabs, people overdosing on Sentinel. Things had to get
so bad, And it took ten years to get some
laws on the books that might restore some sanity to
how we run our judicial you know, our judiciary and
our criminal justice system here in California. You said something
funny that when you said people finally woke up. You
(02:53):
got to remember, right, it's what Cospop forty seven was
woke ism, and the woke pride themselves on having been awakened.
And yet it was that whole world policy that everybody
can be rehabilitated, right, that no one should be held
responsible for anything that they do against another person or
(03:15):
society in terms of faft or other kinds of offenses.
I mean, people have lost their businesses, businesses have closed.
We came out of the pandemic and people are already struggling,
and then you have the smashing grabs and all this abuse.
Today you're gonna love this. We got our first case
under Prop thirty six from Fullerton Police Department today for
(03:39):
a repeat drug offender. So we got our first case
today already under Prop thirty six.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Now, what's going to happen to this guy, what's the
new method?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Welcome.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
We're gonna have to review the case. But assuming and
I'm talking to the abstract because I haven't seen all
the facts, but let's assume this is a fileable case
and this person is a repeat drug offender. They're going
to be offered a program, and if they take the program, great,
go through the program, and maybe with this conviction hanging
over your head, you might change your behavior. But if
(04:13):
you don't change your behavior, because you've shown repeatedly that
you're not going to change your behavior, you're looking at
going to state prison. Now, you guys have a little
bumper on Chad Bianco, the sheriff of Riverside County, saying,
you know, hey, he doesn't have any jail beds that
are already under I think some kind of federal consent
to career something about you know, releasing people because they
(04:35):
have overcrowding. We don't have that problem in Orange County.
In fact, if you listen to our good Sheriff Don Barnes,
it's like he's got a sign right outside of our
jail room at the end. Okay, And we want people
to get treatment, We absolutely want them to get treatment.
But what people need to understand today, we're going to
have laws on the books that if the individual doesn't
(04:58):
take responsible for themselves and does something to change their
previous history and behavior, then they're going to go to prison.
And you know what this idea, oh from the governor right,
You're gonna have prison over crowding. We're gonna have all
these problems. We don't have enough. You know what, he
didn't listen to the electorate this whole entire time. He
(05:21):
tried to come up with that poison pill with the
bill packages to try to sabotage Prop thirty six. And
what did the voters say, Governor, you're still out of touch.
You don't even know what you're doing. And we're going
to take the law into our own hands. And that's
what the public did. It took the law into its
own hands.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
They could build new prisons.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
If we end up with so many people that has
to be that have to be incarcerated, that that's not
a problem. They've been closing prisons. They don't have to
do that. They can open up new ones or reopen
the old ones. I mean that that's nonsense. We should
have enough prisons to accommodate the current number of criminals
that need that need in car period. There's no magic
(06:02):
number of prisoners or a magic number of prisons.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
No, there isn't. In California has some of the largest
numbers of gang members and other serious criminals in the
entire nation. So of course we're going to have prisons.
This idea that a state the size of California, with
all the issues that's facing California, and it's largest, right,
why people come here from all over the world, whether
it's Chile or Romania to commit crimes. You know, there's
(06:29):
a town hall tonight in the city of Irvine because
of you know, different burglaries that have occurred in last week.
And my point being is that we have tolerated people
coming from all over the world. John pointing out that
they can get away with these things because nothing happens
(06:49):
to them here in the United States or California. And
I'm hoping, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. We're ready, we're organized,
we have our act together, and we're going to start
prosecuting these cases and we're going to see what happens.
But just might mark my word, because you're going to
have me back on in about a year and you're
going to say, well, tell me how it's going. And
what Chad Bianco said is if you listen to his
(07:10):
sound bite, he said in that interview, I need the
cooperation of the Board of Supervisors and the state of California.
In other words, in order to make it work, it's
going to require cooperation from all levels of government. And
guess what Newsom and the state democratically controlled legislature want
Prop thirty six to fail so they can say I
(07:32):
told you so.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
And there's still a lot of woke county supervisors. We
have at least four of them here in La County,
and there's plenty of politicians that would like to undermine
the implementation of Prop thirty six. And this is where
the public's got to pay attention. The way they woke
up this year and voted for thirty six, they got
to wake up and pay attention to what city councils
(07:55):
and boards of supervisors and their legislators and the governor
do because they are going to work full time to
undermine everything that was accomplished in the last year.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Well, you've never been shy, that's what you do. And
you've You've perfected the science, and I've tried to do
it as the DA. We do not let these people rest.
We've exposed them for what they are. We've explained it
to the public. The public listens to you. You have
a huge following Orange County residents, three point three million people,
the sixth largest district attorney's office in the country that
(08:27):
I run. People listen. If you remember, Orange County past
Prop thirty six at higher numbers than any large county
in California. I'm so proud of the fact that Orange County.
You know, voters and citizens listen, and they don't want
to put up with this, and they expect a quality
of life in exchange for their taxes and their hard
(08:49):
working conditions and what they want for their families. And
your job and my job is to protect that for
the listening public and my constituents, so that we can
ensure them a quality of life that they deserve. No
one should ever be apologetic for wanting to live in
a safe community.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
No, and you're right.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
In Orange County, seventy six percent of voters voted for
Prop thirty six. I know this because I have the
the article you wrote in the Orange County Register last month.
That's how I learned that statistic. You're on top of things, Todd.
Thanks very much. I think we kicked this off last
February in a great manner that day, and that really
(09:29):
provided a lot of rocket fuel to the whole movement
here in southern California.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
So thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Keep up the good work, and thank you sir.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
We'll talk soon.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Todd Spitzer, the Orange County DA, And yes, we will
be celebrating this all day. It's a rare day when
there's a new law that makes life more difficult for criminals,
and you don't put up with any excuses. You gave
it a ten year run. This was a ten year
social experiment and it was miserable. It was awful. We'll
(09:58):
continue discussing this when we come back. Deborah Mark, it
still is Deborah Marked.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Oh it is?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah? Yeah, OK. KFI AM six forty and she's got
the news.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
But I don't think I told you that the Moist
Line is running for the last time this year. On
Friday eight seven seven, Moist eighty six eight seven seven
Moist eighty six and if you can't spell on the phone,
it's eight seven seven sixty six four seven eight eight six.
Talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app works as well, and
we'll run two rounds of the moist line coming up
(10:36):
on on Friday. Don't forget the Christmas music for that's.
Oh and we also have to get the Tony Vallar
Christmas Carol. All right, that's an annual tradition. And just
in general, if you play any Christmas music, limit it
to Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, that sort of thing.
(10:56):
I was saving that for Friday. Let me tell you
what I don't want to hear, Like, I'll walk out
and come back for a month. I don't want to
hear Mariah Carrey, fine by me. Mariah Carey makes my
ears bleed. There was one day, I don't know, we
were out and every restaurant or shopping mall we were
going to, or every time we turn on the radio,
it's her screeching.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's like cats in a blender. I cannot take.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
That shot in a blender.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Throw some cats in a blender.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Aren't you being a little harsh? No, I mean she's
not my favorite, but I wouldn't say cats.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Whatever frequency she's on, my system can't handle.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
It because you're jealous, because you can't reach those high notes.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Because I'm jealous. Yes, I'd like to see him try
to reach those.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
No, no, there's no singing coming out of me ever
for the rest of my life.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
No, no singing.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
In any event, we got we got, We got the
moistline coming up on Friday twice. Now onto the celebration today,
and it's gonna be all day.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We're every hour, we're gonna have something to commemorate. Uh.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Prop Dirty it actually becomes law today. In fact, we
just had Todd Spitzer on who's the DA in Orange
County as you know, and he announced the first Prop
thirty six case as has been filed from the City
of Fullerton. It has to be reviewed to see that
it meets the proper criteria. But we're talking about a
guy who's a repeat to drug offender and didn't stop
(12:23):
taking drugs and he's still causing trouble. So now he's
going to get a choice. He's going to go to
a rehab program, and he must take that rehild program
where he goes to jail it's simple, and this is
what we used to do pre George Gasconon, pre Kamala Harris.
When you go back to twenty fourteen, and I know
many of you must have voted for Prop. Forty seven
(12:44):
at the time because they lied to you. And Kamala
Harris was the biggest liar of all when she wrote
the title in summary that called it the Safe Neighborhood
in Schools Act. And she still has yet to have
a single reporter question her about that atrocity, still waiting
for the first one who is in so woke that
he's too embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
They don't want to get the other media members, their friends,
mad I really don't understand that, you know. And they're
all whining now about how these journalism outfits are falling apart.
If just look in the news, you know, the CNN
is at record low ratings, at MSNBC's at record low ratings,
and the Los Angeles Times the owner is in a panic.
(13:31):
Washington Post is in a panic because circulation has gone
way down, readership has gone way down.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
And why because they're dishonest.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
They're dishonest in what they print, They're dishonest in what
they omit from printing. And one thing that was omitted
this year during the campaign was why did people vote
on Prop forty seven ten years ago? And the title
of it was the Safe Neighborhood in Schools Act? Where
was the news story on how that even came to be? Like,
(14:02):
whose idea was that?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
I diet?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
It's hers? Because she can't put six words together. So
some woke staff member And did she not read it?
Did she just sign the order to make that the
official title of the ballot measure? I don't know, but
nobody ever explains anything. But now it's gone, all right.
Not only was Prop forty seven repealed with Prop thirty six,
(14:24):
George Gascon himself got repealed and Nathan Hockman is taking over.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
And so it's gonna work little by little, all right.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
You're not gonna see something dramatic happen in a day
or a week or a month, but over the course
of time, every day you'll have more and more thieves
and drug addicts and sentinel dealers get charged. Eventually they'll
either plead, they'll get sentenced, they'll take rehab and they'll
be off the streets, or they'll learn the lesson and
(14:54):
stop committing crimes. Or maybe they'll move out of town
and go steal somewhere else and be passed out in
somebody else's city, and it'll be a gradual climb out.
I'm telling you, I didn't even realize what an effect
Prop forty seven would had. On paper looked terrible, but
I because we cover this stuff every day, I started
(15:16):
noticing story after story, and it's things I'd never seen
or heard of before, starting with the massive homelessness and
all the drug addict behavior in the streets, and then
the thefts, and you know, my CBS has got everything
under lock and key. You can't buy it too it
but tooth based, you know. And it happened very gradually, little
(15:38):
by little, pandemic accelerated it because bad behavior was allowed
to run them up. Remember they stopped, they stopped bothering
people in the homeless encampments, they stopped enforcing the law
in so many places, and suddenly, you know, by twenty
twenty three, this place was a zoo, an outdoor mental institution,
(16:00):
and it all came from George Gascon and Kamala Harris.
In twenty fourteen, it was drip Drip, Drip day after
day after day, and you suddenly saw things that you
never saw before. And then you had politicians the liars
in the media constantly tell you that what you're seeing
is not real. All right, you know, we have some
statistics here in that show that crimes actually dap. They
(16:23):
just lied, They just make stuff up. It's like this
drone situation. No, those aren't really drones. Okay. Now, Joe
Biden really is not senile. And the guy had to
fall practically faced down on the stage before everybody had
been It's like, wow, you know, he's running in bad shape,
isn't he.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Kamala Harris everybody thought was an idiot until she ran
from president this year, and she was like the.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Part of the great Awokening.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I mean, I've never in my life lists such nonsense,
just such bullcraft, day after day after day being shoveled
on us.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So stay awake.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We've got to track this stuff now because I'm telling
you all the legislature, legislators, the governors, the idiot supervisors
in La County and in other counties, they're going to
try to undermine this.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
So we have to.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
We will bring you every single story every time somebody
tries to undermine Prop thirty six if we can find
any media that reports this stuff. All right, I'm gonna
take arrest now. A deep breaths, yes, all.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Right, Debor Mark Day continues live in KFI Day. Thank
go ahead.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am six.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Forty celebrating today's the first day. Prop thirty six is law,
first day after being passed seventy to thirty in the
state of California. People fed up with woke politics, woke crime,
progressive a holes that ruined our life for the last
ten years.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And one thing that.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Of course is never reported on, never discussed publicly, the homelessness,
came out of Prop forty seven.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I'll explain.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Because drug addicts were allowed to be drug addicts and
were not forced into treatment or forced into jail, they
started living on the streets. There was nothing to disrupt
their behavior, and obviously every day they needed more money
to buy more drugs. There was nothing to interrupt the cycle.
(18:40):
So to get more money they had to steal.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Well.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Prop forty seven legalized stealing, so they could steal, buy
the drugs, use the drugs. Obviously they're not going to work. Obviously,
they can't afford to live in a traditional home or apartment,
so what happened? They're living in the sidewalks, in the
parks in front of your kids' school. That's all Prop
(19:05):
forty seven. We didn't have these issues in La to
this extent. There was skid row that was about it,
and suddenly he was showing up in places nobody had
seen it before. I remember when we went to the
Santa Ana riverbed and I think this was twenty seventeen,
massive homeless encampment. I'd never seen anything like it, all
(19:29):
the people strung out on drugs. I remember one young
woman was actually strikingly pretty, living in a tent, completely
glazed over. Tried to interview her, she was incoherent.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I was like, what happened with her? What happened with
all these people?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Some of them didn't look like your traditional Yeah, we
know what street people look like, the drug addicts and
the alcoholics and all that, but these were like normal
looking people. Well, Fentonel had come to town because of
the complete border failure, and that really accelerated during the pandemic.
(20:06):
But it was all Prop forty seven. This wasn't happening
in other cities, it was happening here. We had the
crazy thing. I traveled a lot this year, and my
kids travel and live in other states. First thing they
notice is, Wow, nothing's locked up at the drug store.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
It's sport of God. My son called me after he'd
moved to North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
He called back and said, they don't lock up the toothpaste. Yes,
they don't lock up the toothpaste. Oh, and they hand
out plastic bags without asking you. But that's another story.
It was all Prop forty seven and Gavin Newsom by
twenty eighteen. It was such a problem that when and
(20:51):
this is a story from cal Matters, and I kind
of like these year end stories that some of the
publications are bothering. It's not only a year story, it's
like a look back on six years of Gavin Newsom.
And you need this stuff because we all forget think
of all the crazy things that have happened in the
last six years. It's hard to remember a day when
(21:13):
Gavin Newsom wasn't the governor. But he started six years
ago and as cal Matter says, many promises of decisive
action on major issues, among them housing in homelessness. He
pledged to appoint a homelessness czar to attack the crisis.
Twenty eighteen, he and the legislature allocated billions of dollars. Now,
(21:41):
the auditor for California this year says that Newsom has
spent twenty four billion dollars nine different agencies. Newsom had
created some kind of monster called the Interagency Council on
Homelessness whoo, and they blew the twenty four billion. The
(22:07):
state's auditor is a man named Grant Parks, and Parks
said that they failed to track how the billions of
dollars were being spent. Not only that, they never determined
which programs were effective. So they Gavin Newsom blew twenty
four billion dollars in homelessness and never tracked where the
(22:27):
money went, and never tracked whether any of the programs
actually did any good. Cow matters continues. As the crisis continued,
reporters questioned Newsome about having a czar who could cut
through the red tape and attack homelessness effectively, and Newsom
(22:49):
snapped back, I never heard this quote. You want to
know who the homeless are is, I'm the homeless are
in the state of California. Okay, he's the homeless talk.
Now he's one hundred percent responsible, which means he's one
hundred percent responsible for blowing the twenty four billion dollars
in getting nothing for it. Then Newsom started blaming local
(23:13):
governments for not spending the state homeless grants effectively. Well,
if you tracked it, you would have known that right away.
But the locals know that you're not tracking it. So
what do they do. They give it to all those
fake criminal nonprofits that their friends and relatives have set
up to siphon off billions out of the system. For example,
(23:39):
Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority LASA, you've
heard of it. LA City, LA County joined to create LASA.
They have a budget of eight hundred and seventy five
million dollars a year. It's almost a billion dollars. Here's
audit number two. The counties are auditor said that the
(24:02):
agency is constantly like making payments, does not track how
the money is spent, and shifts the money from one
program to another, even though these programs have different purposes.
In other words, it's a mix. It's a disaster. It's
a disaster on the state level, it's a disaster on
the county and city level, and twenty four billion dollars
(24:24):
went bye bye, not to mention the billions that we
spend locally here with their stupid sales taxes. So the
local governments are angry with Newsom for blaming them, but
they should be blamed. Newsom is angry because everyone else
is blaming him, and he should be blamed. You know
(24:46):
what comes down to, and I'm kind of tired of this.
I'm kind of tired of like debating the best programs
and trying to understand how to maintain a proper stream
of funding. It's the people running these programs. They're either stupid,
bid like newsom is, are corrupt like most of the
bureaucrats that hand out money to the nonprofits. Tell me,
(25:08):
tell me the bureaucrats handing out the money are not
getting kickbacks. Tell me that they're not getting bribes to
direct the money. None of it's going to help the homeless.
You can see that with your own eyes. Making this
a full circle. This is why passing Prop forty seven
(25:30):
was such a disaster, because it made public drug addiction possible,
which meant they had to steal. Stealing was now basically legal.
And if they're stealing, making money, spending the money on drugs,
(25:51):
they've got to live in the streets. And the cities
decided not to enforce street living either. Suddenly all the
laws against living in a tent on a sidewalk, we're ignored. Well,
if you don't enforce laws on drug addiction, you don't
enforce laws on stealing, you don't enforce laws on living
(26:11):
in public places.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
What are you gonna get.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
You're gonna get California La of the last ten years.
And that's why nothing And we said this, we said
this all year. Nothing gets better, Nothing gets better without
Prop thirty six, without repealing Prop forty seven.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You've got to put thieves in jail. You got to
put drug addicts either in rehab or in jail. You
got to go after fento miel dealers, because that's why
we have so many bent over zombies in the city
and in the state. You have to do that. It's
absolutely mandatory. And you have to stop electing the stupid.
(26:54):
Let Gavin Newsom run for president. Let him embarrass himself. Actually,
he's gonna embarrass the whole state. People are going to
be looking and saying how did you people vote him
into office for eight years? And then I read four
articles in two days. But Kamala Harris is next in
line to be governor and she may be the only
(27:14):
politician who's dumber the gavenous.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Oh I remember she made it the Safe Neighborhood Schools
Act Prop. Forty seven. That's what would be coming next?
What for the next four eight years? Really is that
really going to happen?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Allright?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
We come uh, well, I mean after two o'clock, we're
going to talk to Matt Cappelado. Matt, his daughter Alexandra
died back in twenty nineteen, thought she was taking a percocet,
turned out to be poisoned with fentanyl, and Coppolato has
spent years trying to get legislation passed the corrupt legislature
(27:56):
and could it they wanted to protect protect fentanyl dealer. Well,
finally Prop thirty six is going to make the difference,
and we're going to talk to Matt Coppolatto. Coming up.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Coming up after two Mac Coppolaudo, his daughter Alexandra died
a few years ago from fentanyl poisoning. She thought she
was taking a percoset, and that led Matt on a
quite an odyssey for years trying to get legislation passed
in Sacramento to go after the fentinyl dealers. And they
wouldn't do it because California legislators, you know, one of
(28:37):
the groups they worship, what did I tell you it's
three groups, criminals and illegal immigrants and homeless people. Well,
they didn't want to make they didn't want to have
a set of fentinyl crimes on the books that would
send the dealers to prison. Yes, Coppolato finally got what
he wanted with Prop thirty six passing. We'll talk to
(28:58):
Matt coming up. Today is the day the Prop thirty
six goes into law. I just have a short time
here before Dever's News. Perfect place to do a Penis story.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
We love Penis stories.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Well that's getting saved. Oh please don't, it's too late now.
He seemed to be a little too enthusiastic.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Well, you know, I mean the Dow takes a dive.
You know, we have the down story.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Well, I don't know if this is an up or
a down story. It depends on your point of view.
All right, So this guy goes to the doctor. I
know it sounds like a joke, but it's a true story.
In fact, I have an X ray here in front
of me. He's in his sixties, and he went to
the doctor because he had some kind of knee trauma.
All right, he had a knee injury. And while he's
(29:48):
talking to the doctor, he says, I also have a
pain in my penis. So the doctor didn't find any
prostrate swelling or any unusual discharge. Oh god, it's a
really awful phrase, an awful word, And there were no
usual markers.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
So they took an X ray.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
They thought maybe he had a fractured pelvis, and what
they found is that his penis was.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Turning to bone. Now I don't know if this is
a problem or not, but.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
He had extensive plaque like calcification all along, all along
the length of his penis. Okay, it's called penile ossification.
Calcium salts collect in the penis tissues, forming an extra
skeletal structure very much like a bone. So you know bone,
(30:43):
there's a lot of calcium in bones. He had so
much excess calcium it was hardening the tissues in his
penis into bone. Oh god, His wife said, I don't
see a problem. Really, maybe that was a mistress. His
wife said, enough of you. He's one of just forty
(31:05):
patients to be diagnosed with the condition. You know how
they treat it.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
You're the one with penis.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
So well, you're making an assumption. Aren't you going to
say that you don't know how identify?
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
The condition is treated with shockwave therapy, sonic pulses to
break the bone into little bits. Yes, they send these
shockwaves to the penis, hoping that this this new penile
bone starts to crumble.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
No, thank you, ayah. I think I'd rather keep the.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Way it is. And they don't know actually what's caused this?
Uh that there's another thing to worry.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
About, you know, Well, I don't have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
No, you don't. I have to worry. You have to worry.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
The causes are metabolic disorders, could be kidney disease, repeated
trauma to.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
The penis, repeated trauma, repeated trauma.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
Well, what causes repeated trauma.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
To repeated aggressive sex? That can happen every once in
a while. I don't want to get into details here.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
But we don't want to hear them.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You can ask Nannis Rodman. Oh yeah, that's right. What
was that?
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I remember he broke his penis? Yes, that can happen. Well,
sometimes I can't come.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
You need to go.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
You don't need to explain. I understand what you said.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
You know, if if one of the two partners is
getting a little.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Too aggressive, I get it already.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Okay, you're the one who says.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I love penis stories.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
What you say? I didn't hear that.
Speaker 3 (32:48):
What you say we love penis stories.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
There we go. Oh you got one. Uh, all right,
we come back.
Speaker 1 (32:57):

crimes on the books against fentanyl dealers. PROP thirty six
