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):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We do this from one until four o'clock and then
after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app. All right, we're gonna get John Alley on again.
John Ally a businessman who owns business properties in Santa
Monica and also in MacArthur Park in near downtown Los Angeles,
and we had him on last week and we just
(00:28):
ran out of time. There was a lot more to cover,
so we've got more time right now, and let's talk
to John.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
John.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
You there, Hi, John, good to be on.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, thanks, thanks for coming back on. We just played
some of the audio from the video you'd posted, were
you and LAPD officer were talking to this homeless couple
who were apparently flown from out of state by a rehabitity.
They were trafficked and there was a insurance company connected
(01:05):
to this con. You flesh out some of the details
here so people understand just what kind of a racket
is going on here and how these people are being
trafficked and just left out in the street at the
end of.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It, exactly what's happening. We have reac clinics here with
representatives in three to four other states recruiting people to
come to LA to their reab clinic here, whether it
be in Culver City, Fan Eyes, and a lot of
(01:40):
them still open two, three, four months, maybe a year.
Then they get shut down because they're found out their insurance.
They work with the insurance companies, their insurance cuts off
the funding for this after forty five to sixty days,
and they're actually driven to MacArthur Park. Is driven. Most
(02:01):
are driven to MacArthur Park or skid Row. One was
driven to a Santa Monica park And we're seeing this
all the time. If you see the words MacArthur Park
mayor and CD one council member in the last ten years,
all that means is failure, drugs, cartels, gangs and loss
of income. In our view, baths and the council member
(02:27):
of District one, they're community organizers. They've never run a business.
They've spent twenty seven million to revitalize the park, and
they treat the transparency as a burden. They've done everything
but more police presence. So we searched the emails and
(02:48):
we got hard copy contracts, and we found out something
very very unusual quietly through its department, the city's Department
of Disability, they contracted with the Sidewalk Project that's a
firm using our tax dollars a group small group to
(03:08):
handout needles, meth pipes, and then unsus Hernandez of CD
one authorized on our own an additional one hundred and
sixty thousand dollars to expand it. So they're getting paid
eighty eight thousand a year on an on exclusive basis,
which means the city can hire additional nonprofits to do
(03:29):
the same thing. And they're doing it. There's USC there's
UCLA Street Team, there's the people concerned. The police officers
that are doing their jobs as sworn officers in the
park and the surrounding area don't like it. They describe
(03:49):
this group as nothing but negative and they have negative
interactions with them, and they're.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Handing out The group is handing out needles and met
pipes in MacArthur Park.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's funded by the city. Much of this is funded
in other areas by the county. In MacArthur Park it's
funded by the city. And it's a case of ideology
crashing into a reality. Of crime and death. These people
are dying on the streets five to sixth a day.
It's awful. And I found it very strange because when
(04:28):
I last spoke after the fires, when I last spoke
to Mayor Bath at the beginning of February, end of January,
she I asked her if she would come out and
in opposition to and really forced out the drug dealers,
(04:49):
got rid of the drug dealers, We get rid of
a lot of the drug traffic and the drug use.
She said yes, She said she was totally against needled distribution.
I said, Mayor, can I quote you on that? She said, yes,
you can. Then we met again with the city the
(05:13):
police chief, Jim O'Donnell and her, and then I met
with Jim O'Donnell in his office and both of them said,
we're against the program. It's wrong, and we'll speak out
against it. They've been dead silent about it. So we
dug through the records in last July, so six months
(05:36):
prior to this, three conversations we had. We found out
that they institute this contract with interestingly, the Department of Disabilities,
So we try to Department of Disability would go unseen
and unheard of it was approved in a batch of
(05:57):
items by our La City Council, so.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They buried it to hide it.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And after after Jim McDonald, Jim O'Donnell and Karen Bass
promised you that they were going to stop this. No
more needles, no more meth pipes. Bass signed contracts. Really
it's a one year contract with four annual automatic extensions
(06:24):
to five year contract to hand out these needles and
met pipes.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
And with regular meetings. But there's no difference. There's been
no meetings that we know of, and there's no definition
of what their success is. How do they define success, Well, there.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Can't How there can't be success If you're giving drug
addicts needles and met pipes, it means they'll take more
drugs and then they're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
There's no success.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's not saying the insiders. One of the insiders at
city Hall are one of the staff people told us uh,
that's how this group got introduced to the city and
to unitsus Hernandez who pushed this hard. The mission statement,
sidewalk project, they're they're near skid Row, right in the
midst of skid row. Quote, they're honored to provide syringe
(07:17):
access services. They aim to empower homeless communities around the world.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, empower, it's a it's a great.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, right, you know what it is.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
They're all making They're all making a lot of money
off off the taxes, off the taxpayers.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
All of them, and all all all.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
The silly wealthy donors do. It's just a money making enterprise.
And they have a mission statement to provide them cover,
provide them a shield to emotionally manipulate people. There is
no way handing out free needles and free meth pipes
gets anyone off drugs. It just means they're going to
die quicker. It's impossible. It's a total nonsense concept that
(07:58):
people have bought into because it's empathetic.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It is not empathetic. It kills people.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And these people are murderers, these groups, This is organized
killing of these drug addicts and these mental patients.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
And why.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I'll let you talk to a second, but I just
got to get off this off my chest. Best is
she getting kickbacks on this? Is this is her Nada's
getting kickbacks. Why would you promote something that clearly kills
people unless you were getting a cut.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Go ahead, I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Sorry, we agree, We agree, and the truth. The light
will shine on this. It's so much as occurred in
the last year, just by simple diligence. They go on,
they define they have a separate category for sex workers
and survivors. They say sex workers are marginalized people in
(09:02):
the world. They're criminalized, they're vulnerable creditors. Sex work is
work and we believe in decriminalization. And that's who we've
got in MacArthur Park. So how can it get better?
That's the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
If you legalize it, because decriminalization is a long word
for legalized. You legalize it in MacArthur Park, they're more
likely to die. Who's using the prostitutes, criminals and gang
members and drug addicts in the neighborhood high likelihood. They're
killing a certain number of prostitutes every year.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They're inviting it. Yeah, they've got a thout, They've got
an outpost in the park that is meant to serve
a thousand women and gender quote expansive participants.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Gender expansive.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
You can good luck on identifying that.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't know what that means. I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
These are all fronts, These are money making fronts, and
it's all nonsense ideology, so that people can make big
profits on prostitutes and then they die on drug addicts,
and then they die on the homeless people, and then
they die.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
There is no other outcome. They'll die eventually.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
We've contacted Andrew Green, who's the executive officer or the
office that have beenfrastructure for the mayor. Over the weekend, I
again texted the mayor. I sent her an email asking
her when did you know about this? Did you know
about it? Maybe you didn't know about it that she
should have no response. We reached out to the Disabilities Commission,
(10:51):
we reached out to Chris Lee from the city, Gina Lombardo,
Eli Everett. Nothing it to go away, and they want
this to continue. It's their de facto shelter. So we're
sick and tired of getting milked every time we turn around.
We can't even report this on three to one one
(11:13):
or nine to one one or two to one one.
So we posted and we're working actually with four other
cities we've just begun with the highest homeless populations centered
in their cities. We set up hotlines. We've got a
hotline for LA so if you don't have time to
follow a police report or you see something like this.
(11:36):
I've tried to do it and it's a two hour wait,
and I've complained after I've waited one hour, and she
said that the dispatcher has said, hey, you're really lucky.
The wait is two hours. So we have a number.
It gives you an incident report, an insurance supplement text transcript,
(11:57):
and it's all by AI and it can't be changed later,
which is happening all the time. Before it gets to
the DA's office, the reports are changed, things are taken out.
It won't happen this way. So we've developed this number.
We've sent back. Our group has set back with the
(12:19):
help of LAPD, the sworn officers dedicated on the ground
putting up with this nonsense. We've sent back in the
last four or five months thirty people to over twenty
seven different states. And the requirement is they can't have
a court here in coming up, they can't have a
(12:40):
warrant for their arrest. They want to go home on
their own, and they have a family member at the
point of arrival to pick him up. And we've had
one hundred percent success rate so far.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Hang on the line, Okay, we got to just do
some news. We brite back with John Alley. He's a
business owner, activist Santa Monica and Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Can't I am six forty more stimulating talk radio John
Cobelt Show.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
We continue a few more minutes with John Alli.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
He's the businessman here in Los Angeles and Santa Monica,
just fighting all the insane policies from these destructive politicians,
especially when it comes to homelessness and all the crime connected.
Can I ask you just one more question about this
this human trafficking issue where these drug rehab facilities are
(13:39):
flying in drug addicts from out of state and they'll
stay for a few weeks and insurance covers it and
then they're kicked off into the street. How does this
work for the insurance companies because it's costing them money
to pay for these out of state homeless people who
suddenly show up here.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I don't see the susart.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah, well, the insurance companies have a separate either obligation
with the drug user and or and they work hand
in hand with the broker from the nonprofit the drug rehab.
So they're in it, they know what's going on. There's
(14:24):
no way that somebody that's a transient addict is going
to be healed and back to normal in six weeks.
It just doesn't happen. So they're fine to cover it.
But because they're going out of state, they pay less
the insurance companies and it makes sense economically to send
(14:44):
them Okay for state borders.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
So this is insurance that some of these out of
state people have, and the insurance companies are supposed to
cover it, but they come to California because it's going
to be cheaper for the insurance company.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The duration of coverage is shorter if they go out
of state.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I see, So the insurance companies got to fulfill their
obligation for a cheaper price, exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You know, we've we've got the Olympics. We're concerned. Everybody
is concerned. They're approaching a couple of years. We have
seven to nine countries around the world that have not
even set up or least host village homes. In LA.
The concern is crime and too much of it. Like
(15:34):
you say, too much of homelessness is going unreported. Much
of it it's due to deaths, but it's being unreported.
The same with crime, it's being unreported. The governor just
turned down a proposal to revamp both nine to one
one and the three to one one non emergency lines.
Anyone like we discussed. Anyone who's called these numbers, No,
(15:57):
they can wait a long long time. And every phone
user here, anyone holding a phone, is paying more than
anyone else in any other city in the country for
nine to one one. So we believe the governor's answer,
based on people we're talking to in Sacramento, will be
another law passed or a ballot initiative raising the sales tax,
(16:22):
probably go to twelve percent. And we've also heard discussion
of a property parcel tax to be levied on all
California properties. It's being discussed now in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
They're going to take more money.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
You can't fix stupid, and you shouldn't try to save
it either. The system we're using can do it today.
It's so simple, and it would relieve so much from
the infrastructure.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
They just It was the story last week as they
blew almost a half a billion dollars seven years working
on a new nine to one one system, and it
was a bust.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
The whole thing didn't work. That's the state system.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Well, locally, it's it's awful. Whether you're calling for to
report a crime, a street light, trash in the streets,
it's given a pothole, it's it's it's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
All right, all right, John, thank you for doing all
the work you do. If there are a lot more
people like you, we wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
In this in this BIX.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And I don't know why people don't get involved the
way you do.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
John Ally, thanks you.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
For anyone Sure, anyone that would like to learn more
about our work, just follow me on X. It's John
underscore underscore ALLI.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
All right, John Underscore Underscore Alli A L L E.
How you John? All right A L L E. All right,
John Ally there, thanks for coming on when we come back. Now,
if you were here for the whole half hour, you
heard him talk about Karen Bass. He has talked to
(18:06):
Karen Bass repeatedly about not using tax money to pay
for these programs which which hand out free needles and
free meth pipes. And Karen Bass agrees, no free needles, no.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
No meth pipes.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And then Ali discovers a contract that could run five
years where the city is handing out needles and meth
pipes through this nonprofit. Well, I'm going to play you
a report that Channel five's Aaron Myers did. This may
be the single worst local report I have seen in
my life, reporting live previewing Karen Bass's reelection campaign kickoff,
(18:55):
and then after three o'clock we're gonna have Michael Monks
on to talk about Bass's reelection kickoff.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But you got to hear the Channel five version.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I honestly, I I hope you finish eating This is
the worst journalism I've ever heard. I say that frequently,
but really, this isn't the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app. We're gonna have Michael Monks on at three
o'clock because Karen Bass launched the re election campaign on Saturday.
But before Michael comes on, because he's rational, at least
(19:46):
on the aries rational, I've got to play you a
report by Channel five reporter Aaron Miles Myers. Rather and
you know we just had the businessman activist John Ally
on and he talked about how Karen Bass personally promised
him that she would not approve any contracts that would
hand out free heroin needles, fentanyl needles, and met pipes,
(20:14):
and then the city made a deal to do exactly that.
It's called Sidewalk Project to hand out needles and met
pipes in MacArthur Park to one year contract with four
automatic annual extensions, so potentially five years of a contract
to do exactly what he promised she promised, John Alley
(20:35):
will not be done. And also Jim McDonald was in
on that as well. He said he was totally against it.
I don't understand Jim McDonald how he is not raging
against met pipes and needles being handed out when all
they do is kill the addicts and add to the
(20:57):
extreme disorder going on in MacArthur Park. I don't know
what's wrong with them. I don't know what's wrong with him.
I don't know what's wrong with Bass other than there's
a lot of money in this industry and I really
don't know who's getting a cut anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Somebody in Bass or Bassis staff are getting a cut
of the contract they made to hand out needles and
met pipes. Because that's a terrible, terrible, absurd policy. It's
been going on for way too long and all does
is kill people.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And everybody knows this, it's obvious.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
But considering that, considering the abominable response to the fire,
I think we've chronicled that very well, the abominable response
to homelessness, the huge mountains of garbage. Listen to this
report KTLA Channel five reporter Aaron Myers reporting live previewing
(21:51):
Bass's re election campaign kickoff.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Breace yourself.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
There will be several speakers and then Mayor Karen Bass
will speak as well and talk about what her plans
are in her campaign and things that are important to her.
You can see there are a lot of supporters out
here this morning who are here to listen to what
she has to say. I want to bring in Kathleen
Ross and the President and CEO of the Hollywood Partnership
in Mayra Valdez. She is the President emeritus of San
(22:16):
Fernando Young Democrats. Now you both came out here talk
about your support for Mayor Bass.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
First of all, Kat Well, we wanted to come out
to show up for Mayor Bass, because she's certainly showed
up for La and so it's important to be here
and get her campaign going.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
And now I know some of the things that are
important to her are crime, solving, homelessness, affordability. Mayra, talk
to me about what that means to you to hear.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
That, Yeah, well, it means that she's working towards all
the priorities that I really care for and that are
at the forefront of every Angelina's mind. You know, she
believes that everybody deserves to live in a community that
is safe, clean, and that our homeless neighbors are housed,
and she's working to do all of that as well
(22:59):
as make the city more affordable living for all young people.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It stopped.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I feel like I'm insane or that interview was done
in an insane asylum. The generic question that Mayor Baths
is very concerned about, you know, crime and affordability and homelessnes.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
How about.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well Mayor Bass lost several billion dollars in homeless money
and then hired fifteen lawyers to keep her from testifying
in court about it. How about that, Aaron Myers, that
would be a fascinating question. How about Karen Bass defunding
(23:49):
the fire department, disappearing to Ghana while there were a
week's worth of extreme wind and fire warnings, the fire
departments in total disarray. It was a shambles. I don't
(24:09):
understand this. Why ask these weird generic questions? I know
she's interested. What what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Why did you become a reporter? Why are you on television?
Why did Channel five hire her?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
CHANLD five used to have a great historic news department,
the best, the best in the country for local news.
This is what it is now you get a couple
of a couple of staffers. I guess for the Bass
campaign to talk generically about what about Karen Bass's dream
(24:43):
for La She's been here for three years. It's a
freaking disaster. Do you believe the amount of garbage? How
about why does Karen Bass allow so much garbage to
pile up?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Why won't she clean it up? I just play some
more of it, well, play the rest of it.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
And she's working to do all of that as well
as make the city more affordable to live in for
all young people.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
And I know she did launch Insights Safe to help
with homelessness and removing encampments, getting people indoors. Now, the
one thing she has been facing some criticism on is
the Palisades fire. How does she get.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Past the one thing she's been facing is criticism about
the fire.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Listen to this part.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
The one thing she has been facing some criticism on
is the Palisades fire. How does she get past that?
I know that's been difficult at this point.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Well, the fire was horrendous. It shook Los Angeles to
the core. No Leader, I don't know Leader is prepared
for that. However, in the aftermath and the recovery efforts,
the team has really stepped up and focused. A lot
of our family and friends live in the Palisades air
(26:00):
and were very affected and seeing the movement now despite
all obstacles, moving forward is promising.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
All right, stop stop?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Has she been to the Palisades, this lady. Has the
reporter been to the Palisades? What were they injecting? What
were they smoking? Seriously, were they on LSD? What kind
of a delusion are they living? What are they talking about?
(26:33):
No Leader could have stopped it.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
If we had.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Fire crews at the scene of the original New Year's
Day fire, they would have put out the rekindling real fast.
But Karen Dass had zero meetings after the New Year's
Day fire to plan for rekindling.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Zero meetings.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
There were zero firefighters at the scene with zero equipment.
She and the fire chief met zero times to discuss
what to do if these strong Santa Ana winds.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Kicked up? Are we kindling? I'm just I'm just shocked
at this, absolutely shocked.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
In fact, the fire department got kicked off by the
state as we told you last week, and the La
Fire Department went home, rolled up their hoses even though
the land was still smoldering, because they were trying because
the state was trying to protect the milk vetch plant.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
This is insane. And does this report.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Aaron Myers know anything about the State Parks Department and
the milk vetch plant and the hoses being rolled up
and the smoldering land. And Karen Pass had no knowledge
of any of this was going on because she was
planning to go to Ghana and she and the fire
chiefs spoke about it exactly zero times times. What do
(28:03):
you mean no leader could have done anything, Yes, they
could have had they just had a conversation about putting
a crew at the hotspot. Then it would have been stopped,
none of this would have happened. Play some more and then.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Real quick, Mara, I know there are several candidates who've
thrown the ring in to be the next mayor. What
does marabaths have that is going to make her stand
out in that situation?
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Well, Mary Bass has the experience, having served in Congress,
having served as mayor these last three years. We think
it's incredibly important that she gets elected to a second term,
and she has four additional years to complete the promises
that she has made, and we're here to help her
every step.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Of the way.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Thank you both for talking to us this morning. We
really appreciate it. And the election is officially on June second.
If a runoff is needed that would be November third.
But you can see here lots of supporters out here
for Mayor Karen Bass.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
That is the worst news report ever done here in
Los Angeles. As Aaron Myers kt LA Channel five, I
don't know what's going on there.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I just totally flabbergasted.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Michael Monks is coming on and he's gonna talk about
Karen Bass running for re election and the terrorists arrests
way out in Lucertain Valley today. They were gonna blow
places up on New Year's Eve here in Los Angeles
at the Feds busted this ring of terrorists. Turtle Island
(29:41):
terrorists talk about it coming up. Okay. As you know,
for many years now, Black Lives Matter has been exposed
as one of the greatest scams and rackets ever. Now
for the most part, they're not stealing ten money, but
they're stealing donations from soft brained people who couldn't see
(30:06):
that much of this was a massive ripoff.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
But some of these people were caught.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
And the executive director of Black Lives Matter in Oklahoma
City has been indicted, charged with diverting three million dollars
in grants.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
What did she do with the money, Well, let's see here.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Luxury vacations to Jamaica and the Dominican Dominican Republic. She
spent fifty thousand dollars on groceries and food deliveries. And
if you take a look at her, I can see
that I can see fifty grand going to groceries. She
spent tens of thousands on retail shopping, bought a car
(30:51):
and bought six properties in Oklahoma City. Six Her name,
there's several names here, Tashella sherri Amore Dickerson, fifty two
years old. She was taking money from that was being
(31:16):
granted to her from the Alliance for Global Justice. It
was supposed to be for bail, and they raised more
than five and a half million dollars. She took three
point one million. She stole the money. According to the FEDS,
(31:37):
over a five year period from June to twenty twenty
to October twenty twenty five, she stole over three million dollars.
She's led the Oklahoma City Black Lives Matter affiliate since
at least twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
She finally.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Spoke publicly about this. She posted a thirteen minute video
on Facebook. She filmed it in the car while wearing
an oxygen mask. I cannot make an official comment about
what transpired today. I am home, I am safe. I
(32:24):
have confidence in my team. A lot of times people
come at you with these type of things. It's evidence
that you are doing the work. That's what I'm standing on.
It makes no sense just she just rambled on for
thirteen minutes. Now she's facing twenty years in federal prison
for each wire fraud count, ten years for each money
(32:46):
laundering count. Well, there's twenty wire fraud counts and five
money laundering separate counts, and each money launchering charges a
quarter of a million dollar fine. So hope, for her sake,
I got well, hopefully she spent all the money already,
(33:11):
because they're going to be siphoning it out of her banks.
She had access to a bank account, a PayPal, a
cash AFP account, and she'd now the Alliance for Global
Justice was supplying a lot of this money. She would
send them fraudulent annual reports on what she did with
the money. So she didn't write down on the report
(33:32):
that she bought six properties and fifty thousand dollars worth
of groceries and traveled to Jamaica. That didn't make the report.
It is amazing how many criminals were lured out of
the underworld to start these Black Lives Matter chapters, or
(33:54):
to get involved in homeless nonprofits, or to get money
out of the government for high speed rail or unemployment money.
I mean, there are thousands and thousands of people who
just wait for well, soon there's a news story they
learn of an opportunity that the government's handing money out,
(34:16):
or there's money for nonprofits, there's money for these new
social causes. She was all over it. Three million dollars.
That was the scam of all scams. When we come back,
Michael Monks on Karen Bass announcing her she's running for
(34:38):
real election. I know Michael will do a better report
than that. Whatever that Aaron woman did on Channel five,
what's her name, Aaron Aaron Myers. I can't give her
enough publicity.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
That's next.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Virginia de Agstino in for Deborah Mark live on the
KFI twenty four our newsroun. Hey, you've been listening to
the John co About the Show podcast. You can always
hear the show live on KFI Am six forty from
one to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course,
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Every day.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We do this from one until four o'clock and then
after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app. All right, we're gonna get John Alley on again.
John Ally a businessman who owns business properties in Santa
Monica and also in MacArthur Park in near downtown Los Angeles,
and we had him on last week and we just
(00:28):
ran out of time. There was a lot more to cover,
so we've got more time right now, and let's talk
to John.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
John.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
You there, Hi, John, good to be on.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, thanks, thanks for coming back on. We just played
some of the audio from the video you'd posted, were
you and LAPD officer were talking to this homeless couple
who were apparently flown from out of state by a rehabitity.
They were trafficked and there was a insurance company connected
(01:05):
to this con. You flesh out some of the details
here so people understand just what kind of a racket
is going on here and how these people are being
trafficked and just left out in the street at the
end of.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It, exactly what's happening. We have reac clinics here with
representatives in three to four other states recruiting people to
come to LA to their reab clinic here, whether it
be in Culver City, Fan Eyes, and a lot of
(01:40):
them still open two, three, four months, maybe a year.
Then they get shut down because they're found out their insurance.
They work with the insurance companies, their insurance cuts off
the funding for this after forty five to sixty days,
and they're actually driven to MacArthur Park. Is driven. Most
(02:01):
are driven to MacArthur Park or skid Row. One was
driven to a Santa Monica park And we're seeing this
all the time. If you see the words MacArthur Park
mayor and CD one council member in the last ten years,
all that means is failure, drugs, cartels, gangs and loss
of income. In our view, baths and the council member
(02:27):
of District one, they're community organizers. They've never run a business.
They've spent twenty seven million to revitalize the park, and
they treat the transparency as a burden. They've done everything
but more police presence. So we searched the emails and
(02:48):
we got hard copy contracts, and we found out something
very very unusual quietly through its department, the city's Department
of Disability, they contracted with the Sidewalk Project that's a
firm using our tax dollars a group small group to
(03:08):
handout needles, meth pipes, and then unsus Hernandez of CD
one authorized on our own an additional one hundred and
sixty thousand dollars to expand it. So they're getting paid
eighty eight thousand a year on an on exclusive basis,
which means the city can hire additional nonprofits to do
(03:29):
the same thing. And they're doing it. There's USC there's
UCLA Street Team, there's the people concerned. The police officers
that are doing their jobs as sworn officers in the
park and the surrounding area don't like it. They describe
(03:49):
this group as nothing but negative and they have negative
interactions with them, and they're.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Handing out The group is handing out needles and met
pipes in MacArthur Park.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
It's funded by the city. Much of this is funded
in other areas by the county. In MacArthur Park it's
funded by the city. And it's a case of ideology
crashing into a reality. Of crime and death. These people
are dying on the streets five to sixth a day.
It's awful. And I found it very strange because when
(04:28):
I last spoke after the fires, when I last spoke
to Mayor Bath at the beginning of February, end of January,
she I asked her if she would come out and
in opposition to and really forced out the drug dealers,
(04:49):
got rid of the drug dealers, We get rid of
a lot of the drug traffic and the drug use.
She said yes, She said she was totally against needled distribution.
I said, Mayor, can I quote you on that? She said, yes,
you can. Then we met again with the city the
(05:13):
police chief, Jim O'Donnell and her, and then I met
with Jim O'Donnell in his office and both of them said,
we're against the program. It's wrong, and we'll speak out
against it. They've been dead silent about it. So we
dug through the records in last July, so six months
(05:36):
prior to this, three conversations we had. We found out
that they institute this contract with interestingly, the Department of Disabilities,
So we try to Department of Disability would go unseen
and unheard of it was approved in a batch of
(05:57):
items by our La City Council, so.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
They buried it to hide it.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And after after Jim McDonald, Jim O'Donnell and Karen Bass
promised you that they were going to stop this. No
more needles, no more meth pipes. Bass signed contracts. Really
it's a one year contract with four annual automatic extensions
(06:24):
to five year contract to hand out these needles and
met pipes.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
And with regular meetings. But there's no difference. There's been
no meetings that we know of, and there's no definition
of what their success is. How do they define success, Well, there.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Can't How there can't be success If you're giving drug
addicts needles and met pipes, it means they'll take more
drugs and then they're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
There's no success.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's not saying the insiders. One of the insiders at
city Hall are one of the staff people told us uh,
that's how this group got introduced to the city and
to unitsus Hernandez who pushed this hard. The mission statement,
sidewalk project, they're they're near skid Row, right in the
midst of skid row. Quote, they're honored to provide syringe
(07:17):
access services. They aim to empower homeless communities around the world.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, empower, it's a it's a great.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, right, you know what it is.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
They're all making They're all making a lot of money
off off the taxes, off the taxpayers.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
All of them, and all all all.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
The silly wealthy donors do. It's just a money making enterprise.
And they have a mission statement to provide them cover,
provide them a shield to emotionally manipulate people. There is
no way handing out free needles and free meth pipes
gets anyone off drugs. It just means they're going to
die quicker. It's impossible. It's a total nonsense concept that
(07:58):
people have bought into because it's empathetic.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
It is not empathetic. It kills people.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
And these people are murderers, these groups, This is organized
killing of these drug addicts and these mental patients.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
And why.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
I'll let you talk to a second, but I just
got to get off this off my chest. Best is
she getting kickbacks on this? Is this is her Nada's
getting kickbacks. Why would you promote something that clearly kills
people unless you were getting a cut.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Go ahead, I'm.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Sorry, we agree, We agree, and the truth. The light
will shine on this. It's so much as occurred in
the last year, just by simple diligence. They go on,
they define they have a separate category for sex workers
and survivors. They say sex workers are marginalized people in
(09:02):
the world. They're criminalized, they're vulnerable creditors. Sex work is
work and we believe in decriminalization. And that's who we've
got in MacArthur Park. So how can it get better?
That's the problem.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
If you legalize it, because decriminalization is a long word
for legalized. You legalize it in MacArthur Park, they're more
likely to die. Who's using the prostitutes, criminals and gang
members and drug addicts in the neighborhood high likelihood. They're
killing a certain number of prostitutes every year.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They don't care.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
They're inviting it. Yeah, they've got a thout, They've got
an outpost in the park that is meant to serve
a thousand women and gender quote expansive participants.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Gender expansive.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
You can good luck on identifying that.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
I don't know what that means. I don't want to know.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
These are all fronts, These are money making fronts, and
it's all nonsense ideology, so that people can make big
profits on prostitutes and then they die on drug addicts,
and then they die on the homeless people, and then
they die.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
There is no other outcome. They'll die eventually.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
We've contacted Andrew Green, who's the executive officer or the
office that have beenfrastructure for the mayor. Over the weekend, I
again texted the mayor. I sent her an email asking
her when did you know about this? Did you know
about it? Maybe you didn't know about it that she
should have no response. We reached out to the Disabilities Commission,
(10:51):
we reached out to Chris Lee from the city, Gina Lombardo,
Eli Everett. Nothing it to go away, and they want
this to continue. It's their de facto shelter. So we're
sick and tired of getting milked every time we turn around.
We can't even report this on three to one one
(11:13):
or nine to one one or two to one one.
So we posted and we're working actually with four other
cities we've just begun with the highest homeless populations centered
in their cities. We set up hotlines. We've got a
hotline for LA so if you don't have time to
follow a police report or you see something like this.
(11:36):
I've tried to do it and it's a two hour wait,
and I've complained after I've waited one hour, and she
said that the dispatcher has said, hey, you're really lucky.
The wait is two hours. So we have a number.
It gives you an incident report, an insurance supplement text transcript,
(11:57):
and it's all by AI and it can't be changed later,
which is happening all the time. Before it gets to
the DA's office, the reports are changed, things are taken out.
It won't happen this way. So we've developed this number.
We've sent back. Our group has set back with the
(12:19):
help of LAPD, the sworn officers dedicated on the ground
putting up with this nonsense. We've sent back in the
last four or five months thirty people to over twenty
seven different states. And the requirement is they can't have
a court here in coming up, they can't have a
(12:40):
warrant for their arrest. They want to go home on
their own, and they have a family member at the
point of arrival to pick him up. And we've had
one hundred percent success rate so far.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Hang on the line, Okay, we got to just do
some news. We brite back with John Alley. He's a
business owner, activist Santa Monica and Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Can't I am six forty more stimulating talk radio John
Cobelt Show.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
We continue a few more minutes with John Alli.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
He's the businessman here in Los Angeles and Santa Monica,
just fighting all the insane policies from these destructive politicians,
especially when it comes to homelessness and all the crime connected.
Can I ask you just one more question about this
this human trafficking issue where these drug rehab facilities are
(13:39):
flying in drug addicts from out of state and they'll
stay for a few weeks and insurance covers it and
then they're kicked off into the street. How does this
work for the insurance companies because it's costing them money
to pay for these out of state homeless people who
suddenly show up here.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I don't see the susart.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Yeah, well, the insurance companies have a separate either obligation
with the drug user and or and they work hand
in hand with the broker from the nonprofit the drug rehab.
So they're in it, they know what's going on. There's
(14:24):
no way that somebody that's a transient addict is going
to be healed and back to normal in six weeks.
It just doesn't happen. So they're fine to cover it.
But because they're going out of state, they pay less
the insurance companies and it makes sense economically to send
(14:44):
them Okay for state borders.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
So this is insurance that some of these out of
state people have, and the insurance companies are supposed to
cover it, but they come to California because it's going
to be cheaper for the insurance company.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
The duration of coverage is shorter if they go out
of state.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
I see, So the insurance companies got to fulfill their
obligation for a cheaper price, exactly.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You know, we've we've got the Olympics. We're concerned. Everybody
is concerned. They're approaching a couple of years. We have
seven to nine countries around the world that have not
even set up or least host village homes. In LA.
The concern is crime and too much of it. Like
(15:34):
you say, too much of homelessness is going unreported. Much
of it it's due to deaths, but it's being unreported.
The same with crime, it's being unreported. The governor just
turned down a proposal to revamp both nine to one
one and the three to one one non emergency lines.
Anyone like we discussed. Anyone who's called these numbers, No,
(15:57):
they can wait a long long time. And every phone
user here, anyone holding a phone, is paying more than
anyone else in any other city in the country for
nine to one one. So we believe the governor's answer,
based on people we're talking to in Sacramento, will be
another law passed or a ballot initiative raising the sales tax,
(16:22):
probably go to twelve percent. And we've also heard discussion
of a property parcel tax to be levied on all
California properties. It's being discussed now in Sacramento.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
They're going to take more money.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
You can't fix stupid, and you shouldn't try to save
it either. The system we're using can do it today.
It's so simple, and it would relieve so much from
the infrastructure.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
They just It was the story last week as they
blew almost a half a billion dollars seven years working
on a new nine to one one system, and it
was a bust.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
The whole thing didn't work. That's the state system.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Well, locally, it's it's awful. Whether you're calling for to
report a crime, a street light, trash in the streets,
it's given a pothole, it's it's it's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
All right, all right, John, thank you for doing all
the work you do. If there are a lot more
people like you, we wouldn't be.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
In this in this BIX.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
And I don't know why people don't get involved the
way you do.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
John Ally, thanks you.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
For anyone Sure, anyone that would like to learn more
about our work, just follow me on X. It's John
underscore underscore ALLI.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
All right, John Underscore Underscore Alli A L L E.
How you John? All right A L L E. All right,
John Ally there, thanks for coming on when we come back. Now,
if you were here for the whole half hour, you
heard him talk about Karen Bass. He has talked to
(18:06):
Karen Bass repeatedly about not using tax money to pay
for these programs which which hand out free needles and
free meth pipes. And Karen Bass agrees, no free needles, no.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
No meth pipes.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And then Ali discovers a contract that could run five
years where the city is handing out needles and meth
pipes through this nonprofit. Well, I'm going to play you
a report that Channel five's Aaron Myers did. This may
be the single worst local report I have seen in
my life, reporting live previewing Karen Bass's reelection campaign kickoff,
(18:55):
and then after three o'clock we're gonna have Michael Monks
on to talk about Bass's reelection kickoff.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But you got to hear the Channel five version.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I honestly, I I hope you finish eating This is
the worst journalism I've ever heard. I say that frequently,
but really, this isn't the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app. We're gonna have Michael Monks on at three
o'clock because Karen Bass launched the re election campaign on Saturday.
But before Michael comes on, because he's rational, at least
(19:46):
on the aries rational, I've got to play you a
report by Channel five reporter Aaron Miles Myers. Rather and
you know we just had the businessman activist John Ally
on and he talked about how Karen Bass personally promised
him that she would not approve any contracts that would
hand out free heroin needles, fentanyl needles, and met pipes,
(20:14):
and then the city made a deal to do exactly that.
It's called Sidewalk Project to hand out needles and met
pipes in MacArthur Park to one year contract with four
automatic annual extensions, so potentially five years of a contract
to do exactly what he promised she promised, John Alley
(20:35):
will not be done. And also Jim McDonald was in
on that as well. He said he was totally against it.
I don't understand Jim McDonald how he is not raging
against met pipes and needles being handed out when all
they do is kill the addicts and add to the
(20:57):
extreme disorder going on in MacArthur Park. I don't know
what's wrong with them. I don't know what's wrong with him.
I don't know what's wrong with Bass other than there's
a lot of money in this industry and I really
don't know who's getting a cut anymore.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I don't know if.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Somebody in Bass or Bassis staff are getting a cut
of the contract they made to hand out needles and
met pipes. Because that's a terrible, terrible, absurd policy. It's
been going on for way too long and all does
is kill people.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
And everybody knows this, it's obvious.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
But considering that, considering the abominable response to the fire,
I think we've chronicled that very well, the abominable response
to homelessness, the huge mountains of garbage. Listen to this
report KTLA Channel five reporter Aaron Myers reporting live previewing
(21:51):
Bass's re election campaign kickoff.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Breace yourself.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
There will be several speakers and then Mayor Karen Bass
will speak as well and talk about what her plans
are in her campaign and things that are important to her.
You can see there are a lot of supporters out
here this morning who are here to listen to what
she has to say. I want to bring in Kathleen
Ross and the President and CEO of the Hollywood Partnership
in Mayra Valdez. She is the President emeritus of San
(22:16):
Fernando Young Democrats. Now you both came out here talk
about your support for Mayor Bass.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
First of all, Kat Well, we wanted to come out
to show up for Mayor Bass, because she's certainly showed
up for La and so it's important to be here
and get her campaign going.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
And now I know some of the things that are
important to her are crime, solving, homelessness, affordability. Mayra, talk
to me about what that means to you to hear.
Speaker 7 (22:39):
That, Yeah, well, it means that she's working towards all
the priorities that I really care for and that are
at the forefront of every Angelina's mind. You know, she
believes that everybody deserves to live in a community that
is safe, clean, and that our homeless neighbors are housed,
and she's working to do all of that as well
(22:59):
as make the city more affordable living for all young people.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
It stopped.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I feel like I'm insane or that interview was done
in an insane asylum. The generic question that Mayor Baths
is very concerned about, you know, crime and affordability and homelessnes.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
How about.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well Mayor Bass lost several billion dollars in homeless money
and then hired fifteen lawyers to keep her from testifying
in court about it. How about that, Aaron Myers, that
would be a fascinating question. How about Karen Bass defunding
(23:49):
the fire department, disappearing to Ghana while there were a
week's worth of extreme wind and fire warnings, the fire
departments in total disarray. It was a shambles. I don't
(24:09):
understand this. Why ask these weird generic questions? I know
she's interested. What what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Why did you become a reporter? Why are you on television?
Why did Channel five hire her?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
CHANLD five used to have a great historic news department,
the best, the best in the country for local news.
This is what it is now you get a couple
of a couple of staffers. I guess for the Bass
campaign to talk generically about what about Karen Bass's dream
(24:43):
for La She's been here for three years. It's a
freaking disaster. Do you believe the amount of garbage? How
about why does Karen Bass allow so much garbage to
pile up?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Why won't she clean it up? I just play some
more of it, well, play the rest of it.
Speaker 7 (25:04):
And she's working to do all of that as well
as make the city more affordable to live in for
all young people.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
And I know she did launch Insights Safe to help
with homelessness and removing encampments, getting people indoors. Now, the
one thing she has been facing some criticism on is
the Palisades fire. How does she get.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Past the one thing she's been facing is criticism about
the fire.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Listen to this part.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
The one thing she has been facing some criticism on
is the Palisades fire. How does she get past that?
I know that's been difficult at this point.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Well, the fire was horrendous. It shook Los Angeles to
the core. No Leader, I don't know Leader is prepared
for that. However, in the aftermath and the recovery efforts,
the team has really stepped up and focused. A lot
of our family and friends live in the Palisades air
(26:00):
and were very affected and seeing the movement now despite
all obstacles, moving forward is promising.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
All right, stop stop?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Has she been to the Palisades, this lady. Has the
reporter been to the Palisades? What were they injecting? What
were they smoking? Seriously, were they on LSD? What kind
of a delusion are they living? What are they talking about?
(26:33):
No Leader could have stopped it.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
If we had.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Fire crews at the scene of the original New Year's
Day fire, they would have put out the rekindling real fast.
But Karen Dass had zero meetings after the New Year's
Day fire to plan for rekindling.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Zero meetings.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
There were zero firefighters at the scene with zero equipment.
She and the fire chief met zero times to discuss
what to do if these strong Santa Ana winds.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Kicked up? Are we kindling? I'm just I'm just shocked
at this, absolutely shocked.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
In fact, the fire department got kicked off by the
state as we told you last week, and the La
Fire Department went home, rolled up their hoses even though
the land was still smoldering, because they were trying because
the state was trying to protect the milk vetch plant.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
This is insane. And does this report.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Aaron Myers know anything about the State Parks Department and
the milk vetch plant and the hoses being rolled up
and the smoldering land. And Karen Pass had no knowledge
of any of this was going on because she was
planning to go to Ghana and she and the fire
chiefs spoke about it exactly zero times times. What do
(28:03):
you mean no leader could have done anything, Yes, they
could have had they just had a conversation about putting
a crew at the hotspot. Then it would have been stopped,
none of this would have happened. Play some more and then.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
Real quick, Mara, I know there are several candidates who've
thrown the ring in to be the next mayor. What
does marabaths have that is going to make her stand
out in that situation?
Speaker 7 (28:23):
Well, Mary Bass has the experience, having served in Congress,
having served as mayor these last three years. We think
it's incredibly important that she gets elected to a second term,
and she has four additional years to complete the promises
that she has made, and we're here to help her
every step.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Of the way.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Thank you both for talking to us this morning. We
really appreciate it. And the election is officially on June second.
If a runoff is needed that would be November third.
But you can see here lots of supporters out here
for Mayor Karen Bass.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
That is the worst news report ever done here in
Los Angeles. As Aaron Myers kt LA Channel five, I
don't know what's going on there.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I just totally flabbergasted.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Michael Monks is coming on and he's gonna talk about
Karen Bass running for re election and the terrorists arrests
way out in Lucertain Valley today. They were gonna blow
places up on New Year's Eve here in Los Angeles
at the Feds busted this ring of terrorists. Turtle Island
(29:41):
terrorists talk about it coming up. Okay. As you know,
for many years now, Black Lives Matter has been exposed
as one of the greatest scams and rackets ever. Now
for the most part, they're not stealing ten money, but
they're stealing donations from soft brained people who couldn't see
(30:06):
that much of this was a massive ripoff.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
But some of these people were caught.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
And the executive director of Black Lives Matter in Oklahoma
City has been indicted, charged with diverting three million dollars
in grants.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
What did she do with the money, Well, let's see here.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Luxury vacations to Jamaica and the Dominican Dominican Republic. She
spent fifty thousand dollars on groceries and food deliveries. And
if you take a look at her, I can see
that I can see fifty grand going to groceries. She
spent tens of thousands on retail shopping, bought a car
(30:51):
and bought six properties in Oklahoma City. Six Her name,
there's several names here, Tashella sherri Amore Dickerson, fifty two
years old. She was taking money from that was being
(31:16):
granted to her from the Alliance for Global Justice. It
was supposed to be for bail, and they raised more
than five and a half million dollars. She took three
point one million. She stole the money. According to the FEDS,
(31:37):
over a five year period from June to twenty twenty
to October twenty twenty five, she stole over three million dollars.
She's led the Oklahoma City Black Lives Matter affiliate since
at least twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
She finally.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
Spoke publicly about this. She posted a thirteen minute video
on Facebook. She filmed it in the car while wearing
an oxygen mask. I cannot make an official comment about
what transpired today. I am home, I am safe. I
(32:24):
have confidence in my team. A lot of times people
come at you with these type of things. It's evidence
that you are doing the work. That's what I'm standing on.
It makes no sense just she just rambled on for
thirteen minutes. Now she's facing twenty years in federal prison
for each wire fraud count, ten years for each money
(32:46):
laundering count. Well, there's twenty wire fraud counts and five
money laundering separate counts, and each money launchering charges a
quarter of a million dollar fine. So hope, for her sake,
I got well, hopefully she spent all the money already,
(33:11):
because they're going to be siphoning it out of her banks.
She had access to a bank account, a PayPal, a
cash AFP account, and she'd now the Alliance for Global
Justice was supplying a lot of this money. She would
send them fraudulent annual reports on what she did with
the money. So she didn't write down on the report
(33:32):
that she bought six properties and fifty thousand dollars worth
of groceries and traveled to Jamaica. That didn't make the report.
It is amazing how many criminals were lured out of
the underworld to start these Black Lives Matter chapters, or
(33:54):
to get involved in homeless nonprofits, or to get money
out of the government for high speed rail or unemployment money.
I mean, there are thousands and thousands of people who
just wait for well, soon there's a news story they
learn of an opportunity that the government's handing money out,
(34:16):
or there's money for nonprofits, there's money for these new
social causes. She was all over it. Three million dollars.
That was the scam of all scams. When we come back,
Michael Monks on Karen Bass announcing her she's running for
(34:38):
real election. I know Michael will do a better report
than that. Whatever that Aaron woman did on Channel five,
what's her name, Aaron Aaron Myers. I can't give her
enough publicity.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
That's next.
