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.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to the show. How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We are going to hit the run, ground running very quickly,
because I think we've come to the program pre enraged already.
Our moistline number is eight seven seven mois steady six
eight seven seven moist eighty six.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Be ready.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You're going to be using it within minutes. Or use
the talkback feature on the iHeart Radio app. And while
you are, you did show up on time, you know,
one o'clock or so is the start of the show.
Should you miss any portion of the next three hours,
then you you can make up any missing homework after
four o'clock. John Cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast
(00:43):
same as the radio show, and that's on my Heart app.
Is where you get to listen to whatever you weren't
available for all. Right, now that we've got that out
of the way, I'm we're gonna talk in just a
moment to Joe Vinettieri, the mayor of Whittier, because his
town and every other town in city in California got
a message today from Governor Newsom. I can't read the
(01:07):
whole thing, but it's long because it comes from Governor Newsom,
and it's it's from the office of the Governor, and
it's a model ordinance. He would like every city and
town to pass some version of this model ordinance about
(01:30):
homeless encampments. After ten years, the last six and a
half under Newsom's rule, he's finally pretending to come to
the party and demanding that all public homeless encampments be removed. Yesy,
in what May of twenty twenty five, all public homeless
(01:51):
encampments should be removed. And the ordinance goes on for
several pages, but to give you an example, he wants
camping in one place for more than three nights in
a row to be banned. He wants semi permanent structures
like makeshift shacks on public property to be torn down,
(02:12):
anything that blocks sidewalks or streets. You can't camp on
public on public property, you have to stay two hundred
feet away from whatever location you camped on the previous
day or night. And and and you can't sleep, lie,
(02:36):
or camp on any public street, road, or bike path
or any sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
That is an ADA violation. Again, we've had.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Ten years of rampant homelessness, and the last few years
are especially bad. He's running up against opposition, obviously to
a lot of progressive mayors and city councils like the
one that holds Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Hie, and look,
he's running for governor and he's running for president.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That's the beginning and end of this story.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
He's running for president and he knows that he can't
credibly run for more than five minutes without Democratic opponents
first beating the tar out of him, over allowing the
state to become one big, disgusting human cesspool. He knows
he can't get elected to anything. He's not going to
make one primary. He's not going to get to the primaries.
(03:28):
He'll do worse than Kamala Harris. At least when Kamala
Harris ran, she actually wasn't responsible for anything. She never
had a real job of governing in terms of being
a mayor or a governor. You know, she was a
legislator at best. So let's get to Joe Vintieri on
(03:48):
the Mayor Wittier and see what he thinks.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Joe, how are you a good job?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Been a long time and I know you're doing well.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, things are going well. Have you given this a look?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
This this ordinance that he'd like your town and every
other town to pass.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
We've been as you just indicated, we've been working this
whole situation for ten years. This is nothing new to us.
And what it comes down to is the fact that
homeless encampments they're not safe, they're dirty, and there's disease there,
and it's taken a while for some people to come
around to it. Uh. And you know, we talked about
(04:30):
this before, and we your we had two homeless encampments,
and of course we were we couldn't we couldn't do
anything about it because of US Supreme Court decision of Boisei. Uh.
And so we ended up going to Judge Carter and
we've got a into a federal lawsuit, and we basically
worked out a deal that said, look at you, you
(04:51):
put together a shelter, we will give you the right
to go ahead and enforce your law, your anti camping ordinances.
Because those those it's been on the books in almost
fall cities for years. It's just that we couldn't enforce
them because of the Voice case. Then the Grant's past came.
They came down what last year, which basically overturned Boisy.
(05:14):
So now we're in a position all cities can go
ahead and deal with those encampments.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
But let me let me just explain for some people
who don't keep track of all this stuff. But the
latest Supreme Court case from from last year said that
nobody has the right to sleep in a public area
and that it doesn't violate anybody's civil rights to say
you've got to go, and if it's a public area,
(05:41):
if and the town wants you out, you got to go.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Period.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's right, exactly so, but a lot of us had
already done that prior to Grant's past, because encampments are
are you know, they do two things. And I know
this sounds cold, but we and Whittier we have a
shelter and if you want off the street, we will
take care of you basically and move you along in
(06:06):
a good place. But most of the people who are
still on the streets are one of two. They are
either doing drugs and this is how they want to
live their life. And there's been no enforcements in La
County because of our prior District Attorney of any drug
charges or and or I should say there's mental illness involved.
(06:29):
There's mental illness. Those people need to be treated, and
they need to be in a place where they're taking
care of, such an as Metropolitan State Hospital here in
Los Angeles County. The state's got all kinds of places
that they could put mentally ill people and give them
the treatment and then get them back out in productive life,
(06:49):
but the state has been very, very slow to come around.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I got to say this for the governor about two
years ago, I think you started understanding this, and he
started doing some things to beef up mental health, and
it's way late. And those of us in local government,
we rely on the state, We rely on the county
to provide mental health because we don't have the resources,
we don't have the counselors. But those people need help
(07:15):
and they need to be in a place where they
need to take care of. Those are the people primarily
who are encampments.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well, he woke up because it's only nineteen months until
his term ends, and he plans to launch his presidential
campaign right after that, and he realizes he's got nothing
to run on here. There's a disaster from border to border,
from the ocean to the desert, nothing but a disaster.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
If I were totally cynical, I'd say he wants to
run for president. The Olympics are coming up here very
very shortly, and in terms of legacy, we still got
people living on the street and they're not being dealt
with compassionately, infirmly to be handed with you. And we
just had a new proposition that was passed in Sacramento,
(08:05):
and you know what, the people are finally understanding that,
look at we want to be compassionate, you want to help,
but you know what, Uh, these people have to want
to do business too, and if they're going to do
drugs or do whatever, they have to be forced. It's
going to be dealt with.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
They have to be forced, period, end the story.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The police have to be involved and they have to
they have to be taken away and if they resist,
then they get choices.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You go to jail, you go to treatment. That's a decis.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
You're going for the judge and the judge says, I
want to treat you, but if you're not your shoes
not then you're gonna have to do some time. We
have not had that here in this area for quite
a while. Things coming back a.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Ten year progressive experiment, complete failure, absolute failure.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Time's up. Now we got to go back to normal life. John.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
It's common sense. Yeah, it's real simple, it's common sense.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
All right, Joe p Liasten, Good luck. We will keep
talking with this. Thank you for coming on.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Good absolutely and good to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
All right, Joe Vinitieri, the mayor of Whittier, talking about
Gavin Newsom. Suddenly here on what is this May the twelfth,
the twenty twenty five. He has been in office since
I believe January first or so of twenty nineteen, so
we're talking about six and a half years, and he's
(09:33):
done nothing but blowed twenty four billion dollars that he
admits he doesn't know where the money went, twenty four
billion dollars, and he's offering to throw another three billion
at the towns and cities if they adopt his model
ordinance when we come back. The first I heard of
this this morning was a story in the New York
(09:57):
Times about Newsome asking ees to ban homeless encampments. And
I only had to go to the third paragraph before
I started shouting at the cat.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, we just finished talking with Joe Vinettieri, the wider mayor,
because he and every other mayor, every other city council
person is going is now hearing from Governor Newsom. Newsom
started the week off. You know how politicians bury bad
news on Fridays, hoping nobody notices it disappears over the weekend. Well,
when they have something they want the world to know about,
(10:37):
it comes out Monday morning with a press release and
even a model ordinance on how to deal with homelessness. Yes,
Gavin Newsom, after six and a half years as governor,
after fourteen and a half years in Sacramento as an executive,
either governor or lieutenant governor, finally has realized you have
(10:57):
to force homeless people off the street. They're never going
to go on their own and that it's really really
disgusting that we have hundreds of thousands living in the streets.
And I'm not exaggerating on that hundreds of thousands. So
now he is proposing that homeless people be forced off
the street. They can't spend more than three days in
(11:21):
a row in one place, and they have to be moved.
They cannot camp on public property. No tents, no sleeping bags,
no blankets, It doesn't matter if they're sitting lying. They
can't build their own semi permitted structures like sheds and
heavy no metal, heavy roofing, sighting materials. Can't camp within
(11:45):
two hundred feet of any posted notices. Can't sleep lie
camp on any street, road, bike path, or any sidewalk
that impedes passage. Say twenty twenty five, Make twelve and
twenty twenty five. It figures this out. So I ready
read about this. We actually ray said it to me.
This morning. New York Times had a story that they
(12:08):
posted written by Sean Hubler. She's a woman who used
to work for the La Times, and she's a progressive.
And you're saying, well, how do you know that?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I go.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Let me read you her language. Let me read you
the way she frames the argument in this alleged news story.
She starts out there saying Newsom has raised and spent
tens of billions of dollars on programs to bring homeless
people into housing and to emphasize treatment. Clearly a massive
waste of money and failure. That would be tens of
(12:41):
billions of dollars that used to be long to us,
and now it doesn't anymore. She writes that California is
home to about half of the nation's unsheltered homeless. Get
this next phrase, a visible byproduct of the temperate climate
and the state's brutal housing crisis. No, no, no, no, no,
(13:09):
it has nothing to do with this temperate climate.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I told you.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I've been to cities in Florida and North Carolina recently.
They too have a temperate climate housing crisis. There's a
lot of cities where housing is expensive and they don't
have these people living on the streets. We allowed these
people to live on the streets for ten years. We
(13:36):
didn't move them along, so they took root and they multiplied.
And the people still on the streets are mostly mentally
ill or addicted to drugs. So they're not unsheltered because
of the climate and the brutal housing costs. They're unsheltered
(13:56):
because they're drug addicts, or they're crazy, rampant mental illness,
rampant drug addiction. That is the beginning and end of
the story. It starts with drug addiction, ends with mental
illness or vice versa. Enough with the climate, enough with
the housing problem, Because a normal person. When they realize
(14:18):
they can't afford to live in a certain area, they
move to a cheaper area. That's what normal people do.
In fact, there has been about two hundred thousand Californians
who have moved to other states, and the number one
reason they give is because the cost of living is
too high here.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
So where did they go?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Arizona, Nevada, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, and many other places.
That's what a normal person does. They say, Okay, maybe
I can do remote work from this state. Maybe I
can work for a similar company in this state. Maybe
I can get a transfer to another company's office. That's
(15:00):
what normal people do. People who live in the street
for years on end are mentally ill and drug addicted,
and anybody who says otherwise, including Sean Huebler in the
New York Times, is flat out lying. Because they belong
to this progressive church that requires them to say put
that prayer in every story or every time they're on
television and they're asked to comment, they have to say
(15:22):
the prayer. There's certain mandatory prayers that progressess require their
members to say. There's one hundred and eighty seven thousand
people homeless in California, and two thirds of them were
living outdoors or in cars and tents, two thirds of them.
(15:45):
So that's about one hundred and twenty five thousand people
are living in the streets, and that's half of the
street homeless in the whole country. We're one of fifty states.
We have twelve percent of the normal population fifty percent
(16:06):
of the homeless population. That is one hundred percent. The
fault of the people in power. Other states and other
cities don't have this or don't have it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
To this extent.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It is Governor Newsom, it is Karen Bass, it was
Eric Garcetti, it is the five idiots on the La
County Supervisor Board. It's them, in all their wondrous diversity.
They have brought nothing but misery to the streets. Has
(16:38):
nothing to do with the economy, nothing to do with housing,
nothing to do with the climate, nothing to do with
anything other than they allowed drug addicts and mental patients
to roam the streets, and more and more came from
all over the country. They wouldn't go to any other
state because no other state puts up with this. It's
all their fault. It's people who vote for progressive idiots,
(17:00):
just progressive jackasses, which is where it's run the state
and run the city and run the county. Now for
ten years, all their policies failed, all of it's a disaster.
They all ought to be taken out of office. They
all ought to be driven to the desert and left
out there without water or food or coming up.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
then after four o'clock it's John Cobelt's Show on demand
on the iHeart app. And maybe you've got an opinion
on Gavin Newsom suddenly deciding that homeless encampments should be
removed all over the state.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
John, you know what I think is going to happen
next week, maybe the week after. All of a sudden,
Governor Newsom is going to be talking about cracking down
on the gas prices in California.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh yeah, that's going to be next I'm waiting for that,
and that will make me very angry. It'll make me happy,
but angry if.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
He does something. So far, he just puts out press releases.
I want to see him do something. He's got another
three billion dollars for all these towns. If he gives
him the three billion dollars, even if they don't pass
his ordinance, even if they don't enforce the ordinance, then
it's just a press release, which is his method of governing,
(18:19):
a press release to get a headline and make it
look like to the rest of the country, or at
least the ones that read The New York Times this morning,
it's like, Oh, it looks like he's much more moderate
than I thought. He's one of these can do activist guys.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I think he's gonna have to do something about the
gas prices for that to resonate with anyone.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, I mean the gas prices are so who's I
was telling somebody over the weekend they were there. Oh yeah,
they were texting me about about the gas and I
wrote back, It's like, it's I'm paying two dollars more,
two dollars more, and we know.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
It's gonna go up to eight nine bucks. Yeah. I
know nobody's addressing that. Why is that? I don't know
who wants to pay those prices.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know nobody else in the media is covering
that story. And it's going to happen, and it's gonna
happen suddenly. It's going to be several big jumps over
the next year and a half, and then you're gonna
be looking at, you know, eight fifty gallon.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I don't understand where this. I didn't know this was happening. Yeah,
how did this happen?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Nobody?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Here?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Here is another one.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Do you remember when when when Gavin Newsom said that
he was going to streamline the uh, the the government
obstacles so that people could rebuild quickly in Pasadena and
an Altadena rather and Pacific Palisades. I remember him. He
was here, he was on television. Karen Bass, same thing. Okay, Well,
(19:44):
Jim Garretty of The National Review went to the La
County website that tracks how many rebuilding permits have been
issued in the Palisades and Altadena following the fires.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You want to take guests, how many permits?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
How many permits you think of issued in three and
a half months both fires combined, twelve thousand homes destroyed.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Five at two, I suck at this sipe of things.
Deborah almost nailed it.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh it's seven, Oh my god, the seven permits. Seven permits,
So Garrity did the calculation. They're issuing one permit every
two weeks, so that's twenty six a year. That means
the Palisades in Altadena will be rebuilt in four hundred
(20:34):
and sixty one years. The spring of the year twenty
four eighty six, the rebuild will be done now. Newsom
had promised fire victims they would not get caught up
in the bureaucratic red tape, they would be able to
quickly rebuild their homes. Again, clearly he lied. He's good
(20:57):
for a SoundBite, good for a press release, no follow through.
We got seven and oh Karen Bass and god, she's
so smart. She promised the neighborhoods would be rebuilt at
lightning speed. Lightning speed, quickly rebuild seven permits in fourteen weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Seven. You do have a better chance of winning like
a million dollars in the lottery.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Uh. You know who else got in on this, JP?
The CEO of JP Morgan Jamie Diamond. He is one
of the giants of Wall Street Finance, and he was
on with Alex Michaelson from Fox eleven and Uh. Alex
asked Diamond, what can government learn from business? And Jamie
(21:51):
Dimon address the Palisade situation.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
What lessons do you think the state could learn my business.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I changed the name of red tape to blue tape
because as the Democrat who seem to want more and
more regulations, we need good regulations. We need good food,
we need good financial assistem we need good it's just
not more, more and more. And you see it in
everything permitting and licensing, and there are lessons to be learned.
And whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you should be saying,
I want an efficient government, even the palace age. If
(22:19):
you want to get this building you need, I would
have a Palisades rebuilding building with everyone in the room literally,
I get right here. I have sanitation, fire, police, roads, insurance, local, state, federal.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Government in the room.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Would charge one of the problems because it's a huge
management problem. And you know government doesn't put you top
people can run projects into management. There's too often politicians
who were academics who've never run anything.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Why don't they have a building in the Palisades where
all the residents can go and get all the permits
approved that they need quickly. Why don't they have one
or two or three in Altadena. Why don't they I
have enough friends who are involved in this, and it's
(23:09):
a mess. So Karen Bass promised lightning speed. Governor k
Newsom promised they would quickly rebuild. It's seven permits in
fourteen weeks, and it's going to take four hundred and
sixty one years at this rate. And you know that's
it sounds like a joke. But do you think it's
(23:30):
gonna suddenly go quicker? Why would it go quicker? Because
all the urgency usually happens coming right out of the fire. Right,
everybody's really upset. It's like, oh my god, this is
a tragedy, this is terrible. Look at all the people suffering.
We got to help, We got to make this better.
And then after a while, the urgency fades and it's
back to the normal rhythm. Well we're already back to
(23:54):
the normal rhythm. More than twelve thousand were damaged or
destroyed by the wildfires, between homes and businesses in both
towns Palisades and Altadema. National Review reporter Audrey Fahlberg said
(24:14):
these neighborhoods look more like the wreckage from a nuclear blast,
and it's exacerbated by onerous permitting, fireproofing rebuilding acquirements to
comply with California's building code. So apparently the building code
is so complicated that nobody can rebuild or nobody can
(24:35):
approve the rebuilds for all the employees we have. Where
is like the task force the emergency supply of bureaucrats
that Newsome should have sent down here?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Shouldn't there?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I mean, there's a lot of extra bureaucrats who do nothing.
They sit around all day until it's lunchtime, and then
they go home. Where do you go? Why aren't they?
Why is Karen Bass so bad at her job? What
does she do when she gets up, when she gets
up in the morning, Why is she so bad? And
(25:10):
how did she get like fifty five percent of the
city to vote for someone who is so bad? Seven permits?
What does Gavin Newsom do all day? Looks at the
latest hot button issue that he's trailing in the polls
(25:30):
over and he issues a phony press release making grandiose
promises which he never falls through from. When we come back,
Bass is doing very badly in the latest poll, which
actually warms my heart. I'm shocked that there's anybody supporting her.
(25:51):
I really don't understand why a single living human could
look at her and say, oh, good job.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Karen. You're listening to on Cobelts on demand from KFI
Am six.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
We are on from one until four and then after
four o'clock John Cobot Show on demand on the iHeart app.
We are going to have Alex Stone coming on just
after Debors two o'clock news because we are on the
eve of yet another momentous occasion in the Menendez brothers case.
They are finally going to get their re sentencing hearing.
(26:25):
You may think it already happened. No, it hasn't happened yet.
So we're going to have that going on this week
in Los Angeles and Alex will tell us all about
it now. I mentioned that Karen Bass lied when she
said that the people in Altadena, I'm sorry, and the
(26:45):
people in the Palisades are going to be able to
rebuild in at lightning speed, because if you combine the
Palisades and Altadena, there's only been seven building permits issued,
seven building permits in fourteen weeks, which means at this rate,
Palisades and Altadena will be rebuilt in four hundred and
(27:09):
sixty one years. Yes to Karen Bass and she has
such a great intellect that that is lightning speed. Meanwhile,
her popularity has plummeted Mark de Camillo as director of
the Institute of Government Studies at Berkeley. Their poll co
(27:35):
sponsored by the La Times. So the La Times did
a big story today about it, and her approval rating
now is down to thirty two percent. Fifty percent of
LA voters perceive her negatively, thirty two positively. So it's
(27:55):
fifty to thirty two eighteen percent. Apparently you don't know
who's is, which I believe. Apparently she loses all demographics
with the exception of black voters and senior citizens. So
I senile people apparently, I mean, I, you know, there's
(28:17):
always a bit of racial solidarity among people.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
But the older people.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
How about the older people who got chased out of
their homes in the Palisades, Maybe they have a different opinion. Jeez, Statewide,
she's got Why did they do a state wide poll too?
Only nineteen percent give her any approval. People outside of
(28:43):
La City find she's a big failure more so than
the people inside La City. Why would that be? They
also surveyed how people feel about Kamala Harris, fifty percent
have a positive image fifty The hell is going on there?
(29:03):
There are actually people who have a positive image of
Kamala Harris and Karen Bass at the same time. What
does it take for you to say maybe they stink?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Like?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
What do you have to see before you sour on
these two? I really don't understand. It is so blatantly
obvious what am I seeing and almost everyone I know sees?
And yet here we have half the state's little supporting
Kamala Wait to be governor. You realize, you know, she
starts with fifty percent approving her.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Oh, that's going to help.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
And I mentioned before about the bias in the New
York Times story Sean Hubler blaming the street homelessness here
on the housing shortage and the temperate climate and not
mentioning the out of control mental illness and drug addiction
in the street. Well, uh Sema Mata is a woman
(30:03):
who writes for the La Times, and she did the poll,
and she did a paragraph or two about the uh
up and down nature of Harris's popularity. When she became
a senator, people saw her grilling Supreme Court nominees. Her
approval rating went up and then she ran for president
(30:25):
badly in twenty twenty, approval ratings go down. Then she
went up a little bit early, and the Biden administration
then went down again when she was assigned intractable issues
such as the flow of immigrants fleeing Central America.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And it Seemen.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Mata claimed that Mark de Camillo, the head of the
Berkeley poll, said that he was assigned intractable issues.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
And did he say that or this?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Assuming Sema made his immigration was not an intractable issue,
why would you write that this story was written today
assigned intractable issues such as the flow of the legal
immigrants fing So I think Trump solved that in an hour. Intractable.
It was very tractable. You close the border, you don't
(31:12):
let everybody come across.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Period.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
What do you mean intractable? She was added for what
three three and a half years. I got nowhere. Trump
about an hour, made some deal with Mexico, paid them off.
We started arresting and deporting people, and the flow is
now down to almost nothing. He knocked off like like
(31:37):
ninety eight percent of the flow. And here on May
the twelfth, the La Times is still informing its readers
that kon La Harris had an intractable situation. It was intractable.
They didn't want to do it. They wanted a stampede.
The Biden administration wanted a stampede because all the little weasels,
(32:01):
all progressive little wieners that surrounded the corpse.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
This was this is what this was their religious belief.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
That America was uh was racist, it was illegitimate. We
stole the land from the Native Americans. We built our
country on slavery, and we have no right to a border.
We have no right to a country. We have no
right uh to capitalism. Uh, we have to we have
(32:31):
to kind of dilute the population with poor people, extremely
poor people. That was their religious belief. And so for
three and a half years they got their way, another
great experiment.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Huh right, the truth. That was the that's the truth.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
And then you know, eventually everybody gets amnesty and they
become democratic voters.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
That was the plan.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Intractable issues. God, they lie, they lie, they lie. That's
all they do. That isn't Bass and Newsom lying, it's
the La Times and New York Times lying or amplifying
Bass and Newsom's lies. That's all they do. Well, that's
why you come here because we don't put up with
this crap. All right, Alex Stone coming up and he's
(33:19):
gonna tell us Nanda's brothers still haven't had their hearing
yet to get resentenced. Well, they're going to get it
this week, in fact, supposed to start tomorrow. We'll see,
and Alex will come on from ABC News. Are you
what I thought? You passed out or fell asleep?
Speaker 6 (33:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
If?
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Okay, I had to you know, the board is kind
of far away.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I have short arms. Do you need a booster? See?
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I really do.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Debra Mark is live in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to the John Covelt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
forty from one to four pm every Monday's 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.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome to the show. How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We are going to hit the run, ground running very quickly,
because I think we've come to the program pre enraged already.
Our moistline number is eight seven seven mois steady six
eight seven seven moist eighty six.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Be ready.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You're going to be using it within minutes. Or use
the talkback feature on the iHeart Radio app. And while
you are, you did show up on time, you know,
one o'clock or so is the start of the show.
Should you miss any portion of the next three hours,
then you you can make up any missing homework after
four o'clock. John Cobelt Show on demand. It's the podcast
(00:43):
same as the radio show, and that's on my Heart app.
Is where you get to listen to whatever you weren't
available for all. Right, now that we've got that out
of the way, I'm we're gonna talk in just a
moment to Joe Vinettieri, the mayor of Whittier, because his
town and every other town in city in California got
a message today from Governor Newsom. I can't read the
(01:07):
whole thing, but it's long because it comes from Governor Newsom,
and it's it's from the office of the Governor, and
it's a model ordinance. He would like every city and
town to pass some version of this model ordinance about
(01:30):
homeless encampments. After ten years, the last six and a
half under Newsom's rule, he's finally pretending to come to
the party and demanding that all public homeless encampments be removed. Yesy,
in what May of twenty twenty five, all public homeless
(01:51):
encampments should be removed. And the ordinance goes on for
several pages, but to give you an example, he wants
camping in one place for more than three nights in
a row to be banned. He wants semi permanent structures
like makeshift shacks on public property to be torn down,
(02:12):
anything that blocks sidewalks or streets. You can't camp on
public on public property, you have to stay two hundred
feet away from whatever location you camped on the previous
day or night. And and and you can't sleep, lie,
(02:36):
or camp on any public street, road, or bike path
or any sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
That is an ADA violation. Again, we've had.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Ten years of rampant homelessness, and the last few years
are especially bad. He's running up against opposition, obviously to
a lot of progressive mayors and city councils like the
one that holds Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Hie, and look,
he's running for governor and he's running for president.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
That's the beginning and end of this story.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
He's running for president and he knows that he can't
credibly run for more than five minutes without Democratic opponents
first beating the tar out of him, over allowing the
state to become one big, disgusting human cesspool. He knows
he can't get elected to anything. He's not going to
make one primary. He's not going to get to the primaries.
(03:28):
He'll do worse than Kamala Harris. At least when Kamala
Harris ran, she actually wasn't responsible for anything. She never
had a real job of governing in terms of being
a mayor or a governor. You know, she was a
legislator at best. So let's get to Joe Vintieri on
(03:48):
the Mayor Wittier and see what he thinks.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Joe, how are you a good job?
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Been a long time and I know you're doing well.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, things are going well. Have you given this a look?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
This this ordinance that he'd like your town and every
other town to pass.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
We've been as you just indicated, we've been working this
whole situation for ten years. This is nothing new to us.
And what it comes down to is the fact that
homeless encampments they're not safe, they're dirty, and there's disease there,
and it's taken a while for some people to come
around to it. Uh. And you know, we talked about
(04:30):
this before, and we your we had two homeless encampments,
and of course we were we couldn't we couldn't do
anything about it because of US Supreme Court decision of Boisei. Uh.
And so we ended up going to Judge Carter and
we've got a into a federal lawsuit, and we basically
worked out a deal that said, look at you, you
(04:51):
put together a shelter, we will give you the right
to go ahead and enforce your law, your anti camping ordinances.
Because those those it's been on the books in almost
fall cities for years. It's just that we couldn't enforce
them because of the Voice case. Then the Grant's past came.
They came down what last year, which basically overturned Boisy.
(05:14):
So now we're in a position all cities can go
ahead and deal with those encampments.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
But let me let me just explain for some people
who don't keep track of all this stuff. But the
latest Supreme Court case from from last year said that
nobody has the right to sleep in a public area
and that it doesn't violate anybody's civil rights to say
you've got to go, and if it's a public area,
(05:41):
if and the town wants you out, you got to go.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Period.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
That's right, exactly so, but a lot of us had
already done that prior to Grant's past, because encampments are
are you know, they do two things. And I know
this sounds cold, but we and Whittier we have a
shelter and if you want off the street, we will
take care of you basically and move you along in
(06:06):
a good place. But most of the people who are
still on the streets are one of two. They are
either doing drugs and this is how they want to
live their life. And there's been no enforcements in La
County because of our prior District Attorney of any drug
charges or and or I should say there's mental illness involved.
(06:29):
There's mental illness. Those people need to be treated, and
they need to be in a place where they're taking
care of, such an as Metropolitan State Hospital here in
Los Angeles County. The state's got all kinds of places
that they could put mentally ill people and give them
the treatment and then get them back out in productive life,
(06:49):
but the state has been very, very slow to come around.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
I got to say this for the governor about two
years ago, I think you started understanding this, and he
started doing some things to beef up mental health, and
it's way late. And those of us in local government,
we rely on the state, We rely on the county
to provide mental health because we don't have the resources,
we don't have the counselors. But those people need help
(07:15):
and they need to be in a place where they
need to take care of. Those are the people primarily
who are encampments.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well, he woke up because it's only nineteen months until
his term ends, and he plans to launch his presidential
campaign right after that, and he realizes he's got nothing
to run on here. There's a disaster from border to border,
from the ocean to the desert, nothing but a disaster.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
If I were totally cynical, I'd say he wants to
run for president. The Olympics are coming up here very
very shortly, and in terms of legacy, we still got
people living on the street and they're not being dealt
with compassionately, infirmly to be handed with you. And we
just had a new proposition that was passed in Sacramento,
(08:05):
and you know what, the people are finally understanding that,
look at we want to be compassionate, you want to help,
but you know what, Uh, these people have to want
to do business too, and if they're going to do
drugs or do whatever, they have to be forced. It's
going to be dealt with.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
They have to be forced, period, end the story.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The police have to be involved and they have to
they have to be taken away and if they resist,
then they get choices.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You go to jail, you go to treatment. That's a decis.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
You're going for the judge and the judge says, I
want to treat you, but if you're not your shoes
not then you're gonna have to do some time. We
have not had that here in this area for quite
a while. Things coming back a.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Ten year progressive experiment, complete failure, absolute failure.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Time's up. Now we got to go back to normal life. John.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
It's common sense. Yeah, it's real simple, it's common sense.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
All right, Joe p Liasten, Good luck. We will keep
talking with this. Thank you for coming on.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Good absolutely and good to talk to you.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
All right, Joe Vinitieri, the mayor of Whittier, talking about
Gavin Newsom. Suddenly here on what is this May the twelfth,
the twenty twenty five. He has been in office since
I believe January first or so of twenty nineteen, so
we're talking about six and a half years, and he's
(09:33):
done nothing but blowed twenty four billion dollars that he
admits he doesn't know where the money went, twenty four
billion dollars, and he's offering to throw another three billion
at the towns and cities if they adopt his model
ordinance when we come back. The first I heard of
this this morning was a story in the New York
(09:57):
Times about Newsome asking ees to ban homeless encampments. And
I only had to go to the third paragraph before
I started shouting at the cat.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Well, we just finished talking with Joe Vinettieri, the wider mayor,
because he and every other mayor, every other city council
person is going is now hearing from Governor Newsom. Newsom
started the week off. You know how politicians bury bad
news on Fridays, hoping nobody notices it disappears over the weekend. Well,
when they have something they want the world to know about,
(10:37):
it comes out Monday morning with a press release and
even a model ordinance on how to deal with homelessness. Yes,
Gavin Newsom, after six and a half years as governor,
after fourteen and a half years in Sacramento as an executive,
either governor or lieutenant governor, finally has realized you have
(10:57):
to force homeless people off the street. They're never going
to go on their own and that it's really really
disgusting that we have hundreds of thousands living in the streets.
And I'm not exaggerating on that hundreds of thousands. So
now he is proposing that homeless people be forced off
the street. They can't spend more than three days in
(11:21):
a row in one place, and they have to be moved.
They cannot camp on public property. No tents, no sleeping bags,
no blankets, It doesn't matter if they're sitting lying. They
can't build their own semi permitted structures like sheds and
heavy no metal, heavy roofing, sighting materials. Can't camp within
(11:45):
two hundred feet of any posted notices. Can't sleep lie
camp on any street, road, bike path, or any sidewalk
that impedes passage. Say twenty twenty five, Make twelve and
twenty twenty five. It figures this out. So I ready
read about this. We actually ray said it to me.
This morning. New York Times had a story that they
(12:08):
posted written by Sean Hubler. She's a woman who used
to work for the La Times, and she's a progressive.
And you're saying, well, how do you know that?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I go.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Let me read you her language. Let me read you
the way she frames the argument in this alleged news story.
She starts out there saying Newsom has raised and spent
tens of billions of dollars on programs to bring homeless
people into housing and to emphasize treatment. Clearly a massive
waste of money and failure. That would be tens of
(12:41):
billions of dollars that used to be long to us,
and now it doesn't anymore. She writes that California is
home to about half of the nation's unsheltered homeless. Get
this next phrase, a visible byproduct of the temperate climate
and the state's brutal housing crisis. No, no, no, no, no,
(13:09):
it has nothing to do with this temperate climate.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I told you.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I've been to cities in Florida and North Carolina recently.
They too have a temperate climate housing crisis. There's a
lot of cities where housing is expensive and they don't
have these people living on the streets. We allowed these
people to live on the streets for ten years. We
(13:36):
didn't move them along, so they took root and they multiplied.
And the people still on the streets are mostly mentally
ill or addicted to drugs. So they're not unsheltered because
of the climate and the brutal housing costs. They're unsheltered
(13:56):
because they're drug addicts, or they're crazy, rampant mental illness,
rampant drug addiction. That is the beginning and end of
the story. It starts with drug addiction, ends with mental
illness or vice versa. Enough with the climate, enough with
the housing problem, Because a normal person. When they realize
(14:18):
they can't afford to live in a certain area, they
move to a cheaper area. That's what normal people do.
In fact, there has been about two hundred thousand Californians
who have moved to other states, and the number one
reason they give is because the cost of living is
too high here.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
So where did they go?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Arizona, Nevada, Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, and many other places.
That's what a normal person does. They say, Okay, maybe
I can do remote work from this state. Maybe I
can work for a similar company in this state. Maybe
I can get a transfer to another company's office. That's
(15:00):
what normal people do. People who live in the street
for years on end are mentally ill and drug addicted,
and anybody who says otherwise, including Sean Huebler in the
New York Times, is flat out lying. Because they belong
to this progressive church that requires them to say put
that prayer in every story or every time they're on
television and they're asked to comment, they have to say
(15:22):
the prayer. There's certain mandatory prayers that progressess require their
members to say. There's one hundred and eighty seven thousand
people homeless in California, and two thirds of them were
living outdoors or in cars and tents, two thirds of them.
(15:45):
So that's about one hundred and twenty five thousand people
are living in the streets, and that's half of the
street homeless in the whole country. We're one of fifty states.
We have twelve percent of the normal population fifty percent
(16:06):
of the homeless population. That is one hundred percent. The
fault of the people in power. Other states and other
cities don't have this or don't have it.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
To this extent.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It is Governor Newsom, it is Karen Bass, it was
Eric Garcetti, it is the five idiots on the La
County Supervisor Board. It's them, in all their wondrous diversity.
They have brought nothing but misery to the streets. Has
(16:38):
nothing to do with the economy, nothing to do with housing,
nothing to do with the climate, nothing to do with
anything other than they allowed drug addicts and mental patients
to roam the streets, and more and more came from
all over the country. They wouldn't go to any other
state because no other state puts up with this. It's
all their fault. It's people who vote for progressive idiots,
(17:00):
just progressive jackasses, which is where it's run the state
and run the city and run the county. Now for
ten years, all their policies failed, all of it's a disaster.
They all ought to be taken out of office. They
all ought to be driven to the desert and left
out there without water or food or coming up.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
then after four o'clock it's John Cobelt's Show on demand
on the iHeart app. And maybe you've got an opinion
on Gavin Newsom suddenly deciding that homeless encampments should be
removed all over the state.
Speaker 5 (17:40):
John, you know what I think is going to happen
next week, maybe the week after. All of a sudden,
Governor Newsom is going to be talking about cracking down
on the gas prices in California.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Oh yeah, that's going to be next I'm waiting for that,
and that will make me very angry. It'll make me happy,
but angry if.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
He does something. So far, he just puts out press releases.
I want to see him do something. He's got another
three billion dollars for all these towns. If he gives
him the three billion dollars, even if they don't pass
his ordinance, even if they don't enforce the ordinance, then
it's just a press release, which is his method of governing,
(18:19):
a press release to get a headline and make it
look like to the rest of the country, or at
least the ones that read The New York Times this morning,
it's like, Oh, it looks like he's much more moderate
than I thought. He's one of these can do activist guys.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I think he's gonna have to do something about the
gas prices for that to resonate with anyone.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, I mean the gas prices are so who's I
was telling somebody over the weekend they were there. Oh yeah,
they were texting me about about the gas and I
wrote back, It's like, it's I'm paying two dollars more,
two dollars more, and we know.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
It's gonna go up to eight nine bucks. Yeah. I
know nobody's addressing that. Why is that? I don't know
who wants to pay those prices.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I don't know nobody else in the media is covering
that story. And it's going to happen, and it's gonna
happen suddenly. It's going to be several big jumps over
the next year and a half, and then you're gonna
be looking at, you know, eight fifty gallon.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I don't understand where this. I didn't know this was happening. Yeah,
how did this happen?
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Nobody?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Here?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Here is another one.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Do you remember when when when Gavin Newsom said that
he was going to streamline the uh, the the government
obstacles so that people could rebuild quickly in Pasadena and
an Altadena rather and Pacific Palisades. I remember him. He
was here, he was on television. Karen Bass, same thing. Okay, Well,
(19:44):
Jim Garretty of The National Review went to the La
County website that tracks how many rebuilding permits have been
issued in the Palisades and Altadena following the fires.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You want to take guests, how many permits?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
How many permits you think of issued in three and
a half months both fires combined, twelve thousand homes destroyed.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Five at two, I suck at this sipe of things.
Deborah almost nailed it.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Oh it's seven, Oh my god, the seven permits. Seven permits,
So Garrity did the calculation. They're issuing one permit every
two weeks, so that's twenty six a year. That means
the Palisades in Altadena will be rebuilt in four hundred
(20:34):
and sixty one years. The spring of the year twenty
four eighty six, the rebuild will be done now. Newsom
had promised fire victims they would not get caught up
in the bureaucratic red tape, they would be able to
quickly rebuild their homes. Again, clearly he lied. He's good
(20:57):
for a SoundBite, good for a press release, no follow through.
We got seven and oh Karen Bass and god, she's
so smart. She promised the neighborhoods would be rebuilt at
lightning speed. Lightning speed, quickly rebuild seven permits in fourteen weeks.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Seven. You do have a better chance of winning like
a million dollars in the lottery.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Uh. You know who else got in on this, JP?
The CEO of JP Morgan Jamie Diamond. He is one
of the giants of Wall Street Finance, and he was
on with Alex Michaelson from Fox eleven and Uh. Alex
asked Diamond, what can government learn from business? And Jamie
(21:51):
Dimon address the Palisade situation.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
What lessons do you think the state could learn my business.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I changed the name of red tape to blue tape
because as the Democrat who seem to want more and
more regulations, we need good regulations. We need good food,
we need good financial assistem we need good it's just
not more, more and more. And you see it in
everything permitting and licensing, and there are lessons to be learned.
And whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you should be saying,
I want an efficient government, even the palace age. If
(22:19):
you want to get this building you need, I would
have a Palisades rebuilding building with everyone in the room literally,
I get right here. I have sanitation, fire, police, roads, insurance, local, state, federal.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Government in the room.
Speaker 6 (22:33):
Would charge one of the problems because it's a huge
management problem. And you know government doesn't put you top
people can run projects into management. There's too often politicians
who were academics who've never run anything.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Why don't they have a building in the Palisades where
all the residents can go and get all the permits
approved that they need quickly. Why don't they have one
or two or three in Altadena. Why don't they I
have enough friends who are involved in this, and it's
(23:09):
a mess. So Karen Bass promised lightning speed. Governor k
Newsom promised they would quickly rebuild. It's seven permits in
fourteen weeks, and it's going to take four hundred and
sixty one years at this rate. And you know that's
it sounds like a joke. But do you think it's
(23:30):
gonna suddenly go quicker? Why would it go quicker? Because
all the urgency usually happens coming right out of the fire. Right,
everybody's really upset. It's like, oh my god, this is
a tragedy, this is terrible. Look at all the people suffering.
We got to help, We got to make this better.
And then after a while, the urgency fades and it's
back to the normal rhythm. Well we're already back to
(23:54):
the normal rhythm. More than twelve thousand were damaged or
destroyed by the wildfires, between homes and businesses in both
towns Palisades and Altadema. National Review reporter Audrey Fahlberg said
(24:14):
these neighborhoods look more like the wreckage from a nuclear blast,
and it's exacerbated by onerous permitting, fireproofing rebuilding acquirements to
comply with California's building code. So apparently the building code
is so complicated that nobody can rebuild or nobody can
(24:35):
approve the rebuilds for all the employees we have. Where
is like the task force the emergency supply of bureaucrats
that Newsome should have sent down here?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Shouldn't there?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I mean, there's a lot of extra bureaucrats who do nothing.
They sit around all day until it's lunchtime, and then
they go home. Where do you go? Why aren't they?
Why is Karen Bass so bad at her job? What
does she do when she gets up, when she gets
up in the morning, Why is she so bad? And
(25:10):
how did she get like fifty five percent of the
city to vote for someone who is so bad? Seven permits?
What does Gavin Newsom do all day? Looks at the
latest hot button issue that he's trailing in the polls
(25:30):
over and he issues a phony press release making grandiose
promises which he never falls through from. When we come back,
Bass is doing very badly in the latest poll, which
actually warms my heart. I'm shocked that there's anybody supporting her.
(25:51):
I really don't understand why a single living human could
look at her and say, oh, good job.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Karen. You're listening to on Cobelts on demand from KFI
Am six.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
We are on from one until four and then after
four o'clock John Cobot Show on demand on the iHeart app.
We are going to have Alex Stone coming on just
after Debors two o'clock news because we are on the
eve of yet another momentous occasion in the Menendez brothers case.
They are finally going to get their re sentencing hearing.
(26:25):
You may think it already happened. No, it hasn't happened yet.
So we're going to have that going on this week
in Los Angeles and Alex will tell us all about
it now. I mentioned that Karen Bass lied when she
said that the people in Altadena, I'm sorry, and the
(26:45):
people in the Palisades are going to be able to
rebuild in at lightning speed, because if you combine the
Palisades and Altadena, there's only been seven building permits issued,
seven building permits in fourteen weeks, which means at this rate,
Palisades and Altadena will be rebuilt in four hundred and
(27:09):
sixty one years. Yes to Karen Bass and she has
such a great intellect that that is lightning speed. Meanwhile,
her popularity has plummeted Mark de Camillo as director of
the Institute of Government Studies at Berkeley. Their poll co
(27:35):
sponsored by the La Times. So the La Times did
a big story today about it, and her approval rating
now is down to thirty two percent. Fifty percent of
LA voters perceive her negatively, thirty two positively. So it's
(27:55):
fifty to thirty two eighteen percent. Apparently you don't know
who's is, which I believe. Apparently she loses all demographics
with the exception of black voters and senior citizens. So
I senile people apparently, I mean, I, you know, there's
(28:17):
always a bit of racial solidarity among people.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
But the older people.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
How about the older people who got chased out of
their homes in the Palisades, Maybe they have a different opinion. Jeez, Statewide,
she's got Why did they do a state wide poll too?
Only nineteen percent give her any approval. People outside of
(28:43):
La City find she's a big failure more so than
the people inside La City. Why would that be? They
also surveyed how people feel about Kamala Harris, fifty percent
have a positive image fifty The hell is going on there?
(29:03):
There are actually people who have a positive image of
Kamala Harris and Karen Bass at the same time. What
does it take for you to say maybe they stink?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Like?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
What do you have to see before you sour on
these two? I really don't understand. It is so blatantly
obvious what am I seeing and almost everyone I know sees?
And yet here we have half the state's little supporting
Kamala Wait to be governor. You realize, you know, she
starts with fifty percent approving her.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Oh, that's going to help.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
And I mentioned before about the bias in the New
York Times story Sean Hubler blaming the street homelessness here
on the housing shortage and the temperate climate and not
mentioning the out of control mental illness and drug addiction
in the street. Well, uh Sema Mata is a woman
(30:03):
who writes for the La Times, and she did the poll,
and she did a paragraph or two about the uh
up and down nature of Harris's popularity. When she became
a senator, people saw her grilling Supreme Court nominees. Her
approval rating went up and then she ran for president
(30:25):
badly in twenty twenty, approval ratings go down. Then she
went up a little bit early, and the Biden administration
then went down again when she was assigned intractable issues
such as the flow of immigrants fleeing Central America.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
And it Seemen.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Mata claimed that Mark de Camillo, the head of the
Berkeley poll, said that he was assigned intractable issues.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
And did he say that or this?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Assuming Sema made his immigration was not an intractable issue,
why would you write that this story was written today
assigned intractable issues such as the flow of the legal
immigrants fing So I think Trump solved that in an hour. Intractable.
It was very tractable. You close the border, you don't
(31:12):
let everybody come across.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Period.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
What do you mean intractable? She was added for what
three three and a half years. I got nowhere. Trump
about an hour, made some deal with Mexico, paid them off.
We started arresting and deporting people, and the flow is
now down to almost nothing. He knocked off like like
(31:37):
ninety eight percent of the flow. And here on May
the twelfth, the La Times is still informing its readers
that kon La Harris had an intractable situation. It was intractable.
They didn't want to do it. They wanted a stampede.
The Biden administration wanted a stampede because all the little weasels,
(32:01):
all progressive little wieners that surrounded the corpse.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
This was this is what this was their religious belief.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
That America was uh was racist, it was illegitimate. We
stole the land from the Native Americans. We built our
country on slavery, and we have no right to a border.
We have no right to a country. We have no
right uh to capitalism. Uh, we have to we have
(32:31):
to kind of dilute the population with poor people, extremely
poor people. That was their religious belief. And so for
three and a half years they got their way, another
great experiment.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Huh right, the truth. That was the that's the truth.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
And then you know, eventually everybody gets amnesty and they
become democratic voters.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
That was the plan.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Intractable issues. God, they lie, they lie, they lie. That's
all they do. That isn't Bass and Newsom lying, it's
the La Times and New York Times lying or amplifying
Bass and Newsom's lies. That's all they do. Well, that's
why you come here because we don't put up with
this crap. All right, Alex Stone coming up and he's
(33:19):
gonna tell us Nanda's brothers still haven't had their hearing
yet to get resentenced. Well, they're going to get it
this week, in fact, supposed to start tomorrow. We'll see,
and Alex will come on from ABC News. Are you
what I thought? You passed out or fell asleep?
Speaker 6 (33:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
If?
Speaker 5 (33:40):
Okay, I had to you know, the board is kind
of far away.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I have short arms. Do you need a booster? See?
Speaker 5 (33:47):
I really do.
