KFI AM 640, you're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app. Before we go any further, back to Deborah, breaking news. We have breaking news. This just into the KFI newsroom. TMZ is reporting that, you know that singer David, he is being viewed as a suspect in the death of Celeste Rivas. That's a teenager whose body, her decomposing body was found in his Tesla. So right now, TMZ is saying there's no paperwork classifying David as a suspect, but. One of their sources did say that investigators are looking at David as a suspect. That story broke weeks ago, right? They found her body. Yes, but now David has not been listed as a suspect. Why would that be? It's his car. There's a dead woman in your trunk. Right. You're a suspect. Well. You know what, John? I don't get paid to, I don't get paid to analyze things like that. I understand that. I just find that amusing. Yeah, for weeks. It's like he's not a suspect. We mean he's not a suspect? It's his car. Well, now he is apparently, reportedly. Reportedly, allegedly. Yes, all of that, a suspect. You ever end up with a dead girl in the trunk of your car? You're a suspect. I hope that never happened. You would, you know, you just don't put her in there. Well, I mean, maybe he didn't. We don't know. He may not have put her in there. He was framed by someone else. Well, we'll see. Thank you for that, for that. You're welcome. Now let's talk about Chevy at Hills, where they're being forced to take a homeless shelter. Nobody wants it in the neighborhood. This is engineered by the incredibly empty. Katie R. Slavski, I don't know how a council person can force a homeless shelter in a neighborhood when no one wants it. And plus, this particular building was purchased by one guy who's been indicted. They say he used $11 million and got the money fraudulently to buy the building. And then 10 days later, he sold it to another company for $27 million, a $16 million profit in 10 days. And then the second company, two of their executives have been put on leave. So the whole thing is a sewer. In the meantime, however this thing was financed, whatever the business dealings were, the neighborhood still doesn't want the homeless shelter. And so they went after KD.R. Slavski. And Polly Grossman from Chevy at Hills, who was on with us a few weeks ago, has the latest. Polly, how are you? Hi, John. It's nice to hear your voice. Well, it's good to have you on again. Tell me, you apparently pursued Katie Arislovsky over this issue. We did. You know, we are still expressing our deep concerns regarding the federal criminal investigation, you know, with the owner of Shelby property and the executives of Weingart. We're still urging.

Katie to delay the shelters planned opening in 2026. And on November 13th, we were able to give her a formal letter. So she now has been served in a way. And you actually went to a meeting where she was speaking? We did. We, a group of us neighbors, we all met early underground in the parking lot and we talked about our strategies and we had our flyers and we passed those out to people who were coming in. And then Katie arrived and she was talking about SB 79 and after she was, you know, kind of making her way to tell us all about it. we started throwing the questions. Right. And Senate Bill 79 is the one that allows these apartment buildings to be built in residential neighborhoods. Yes, and at least she's standing against it. She is opposing SB 79 and she says we're going to find some ways to work around it. But she's for this homeless shelter coming into your neighborhood. Yes, so we kind of started with the shoutouts, you know, Katie, what about the homeless shelter? And then someone else would say, Katie, where did you put the seniors? And then the chairperson of the meeting would get up and bang her gavel and say, silence, you're interrupting. This is your last chance. You know, if you can't be quiet, I'll have you removed from this meeting. Well, what happened next? Well, one of the neighbors, Robin, she was removed. And she had to get up and she had to walk out and she'd never been happier. She said she can't wait to come back to another meeting to do it again. Was Katie uncomfortable with the line of questioning? Yes, she's getting flustered. She's getting her faces turning red. She understands this is not going away. It's indefensible to do it. All you have to do is push back. And a lot of these progressives fall apart because the things that they're defending are indefensible. You can't put a homeless shelter in a residential neighborhood when everybody hates it. So if everybody just keeps pushing back and pushing back, you'll get somewhere. And we did. So the unlucky part which happened was Robin was kicked out of the meeting. But then when Katie went to leave, they were both in the same area. So Robin started to follow her down. And the rest of us followed her down and out with the police officer, with her assistant, down the escalators, into the parking garage. Good. And we kept asking her for a meeting. We would like a meeting with you. And so we just browbeater to get this meeting. And she finally said, okay, I'll have a meeting with the neighborhood. All right. See, good work. That's what it takes. And most people don't want to do it. But you and your fellow warriors pulled it off.

It felt like a relief to see her acknowledge what we've been trying to tell her for a year and a half that she, you know, has been ignoring us on. It was a moment where... It was an inflection point. It's the gall they have. You pay their salaries. You pay for their staff and their offices, and they won't even listen, even when it's obvious. Nobody should have a homeless shelter created in their neighborhood. That is unconscionable. I mean, that's just awful. Is this why she got into politics in order to ruin the neighborhoods for peaceful people? Is that why she decided to get into it? Well... It's what she actually is doing right now, and it's our neighborhood. And we are still raising the question to her. This was the other question. Where is the $16 million, Katie? And this is one where she has to think a moment. And she says, I've now spoken with the city attorney, and we are looking into it to see if we overpaid for the property. All right, very good, Polly. Thank you for coming on with us. And stay in contact. Thank you for having me on. And yes, and also did you see, did you get a chance to look at the Instagram post that I sent to you from Susan Collins? Yes. It is a very complicated drawing, I guess, following the money. And like a timeline of events, right? One was the timeline. The other one is the Instagram post from Susan Collins, which has the footage from the median that we took. Oh, the footage. Okay, I haven't seen the footage. So I'll look at that. I'll send it to you. Okay. We'll do. Thanks for coming on again. Thank you for having me. All right. That's Polly Grossman, Cheviot Hills. They are fighting to keep a homeless shelter out of their neighborhood, even though they're idiot representative, Katie R. Slavski, wants to put it there against their will. These are the people who got into office. They serve homeless people, and they serve the criminals who are using tax money to buy these homeless shelters or convert these homeless shelters. The criminals and... The homeless. That's who people like Katie Yaroslowski serve. Regular citizens, just trying to live their life, minding their own business. Don't care about you. All right. Karen Bass wrote an article that they printed in Time magazine about the future of the Democratic Party. You got to hear this. That's next. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM 640.

John Cobalt show. Hey, you can follow us at John Cobalt Radio on all social media sites at John Cobelt Radio. We have a photo today that shows California State, California Parks Department employee. State parks. State parks. Talking with L.A. Fire department, firefighters, telling them what to do. And this was on January 2nd, the day after the fire. And shortly thereafter, the L.A. fire department rolled up their hoses and left, even though things were still smoldering and still hot. And she was telling them what to do. And she was trying to protect plants, endangered plants. And that may have had something to do with why the L.A. fire department left. Because the state parks employee wanted them to. Except then the Gavin Newsom administration lied in court, claiming they didn't even know the fire had happened on January 1st. We covered this a lot in the 2 o'clock hour with Roger Bailey and the attorney for many of the homeowners who lost their houses. So go listen to that on the podcast later on. Give you a minute here. Time magazine actually published something under Karen Bass's name. I doubt she wrote it, probably one of her flunky lackeys. The future of the Democratic Party is local. When president, of course, it starts out with an attack on Trump. When President Donald Trump speaks about America's blue cities, he paints a bleak picture, one of chaos, decline, and despair. He talks about cities like Los Angeles as if it's a lost cause, a place people have given up on. But those of us who actually live in cities like Los Angeles can tell you the image that the president is painting could not be further from the truth. She actually wrote this. This is pure propaganda. And Time magazine prints the propaganda unquestioningly. This is not like a reporter doing an interview. There is no analysis here. It's just like Karen, give us a propaganda public relations piece on how great L.A. is. And she has somebody write it up. Or it's AI. Yeah. Well, she's getting indistinguishable from AI. Los Angeles is not broken. Los Angeles is not a drift. Los Angeles is not a hellscape. Los Angeles is an economic engine, a bastion of diverse cultures and storytellers. Oh, yeah, there's diverse cultures. You've got the illegal aliens neighborhoods. You've got the criminal neighborhoods and the gangs, and you have the homeless neighborhoods. Well, that's diverse. That is diverse. She's right on that. And then she goes and claims that homelessness, street homelessness is down by 10%. We're finally turning a corner, second straight year of decline, and inside safe is great. I'm going to remind you of the truth. This first came out on October 15th. I think we're going to have to read this periodically. The Rand Corporation, Research Corporation.

Issued a report on October 15th and said an official homeless count in Los Angeles only captured about two-thirds of the street homeless. Santa Monica-based think tank conducts its own professional count. They looked at three locations, Skid Row, Venice, and Hollywood. Lassa's official count showed that... And on Skid Row, the city count was 61% accurate. The city missed 39% of the homeless people living in the streets on Skid Row. Rand found out that in Venice, the city missed 24% of the homeless. And in Hollywood, Rand found out that Bass's operation missed 19% of the homeless. This is Karen Bass's homeless counting operation. Missed 19% of them in Hollywood, 39% of them in Skid Row, 24% in Venice. And she writes an article, a column in Time magazine saying, wow, look how good we're doing with homelessness. Donald Trump is wrong. It's a lie. It's been proven to be a lie. And Time magazine Prince Karen Bass's piece uncritically doesn't do a fact check. No fact check on this. Easy to do. Call the Rand Corporation. And you know what? When they released, when Rand released those numbers, nobody disputed them. The new chief executive of Lhasa housing agency. Gina O'Neill said she welcomes more counts by researchers and called the annual count that the city does, not the last word. An understanding homelessness. In fact, we would encourage RAND team members to assist us with future counts. Excuse me. I'm coughing up my lunch after reading that. You know, you could hit your mic button. It's hard when I'm still talking. No, I know. It happens to me too. Do you want to start playing that game? Yeah. Okay. It's fun. Okay. Okay. All right. We'll interrupt your broadcast every time there's any kind of anomaly. I know. Then you'd never get to your stuff. Summer is here, which means we all want to look and feel our best.

Janice Kinonez, and if you didn't, if you didn't hear it, you just ought to know that this, I mean, the Los Angeles Times has embarrassed and wet itself many times over the years. But this is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. Because Janice Kinonias is just not one of these DEI hires who's clearly not capable of her job. She was. My opinion, criminally negligent in not filling up the reservoir in the palisades, then the fire happened, and there was virtually no water to fight the fire. And 12 people died and thousands of homes destroyed. And that was a 117 million gallon reservoir. And it should have been filled up. And no excuses, no explanations, no nothing. Cover was torn, fix the cover, fill up the reservoir, or don't fix the cover and fill up the reservoir. But the overwhelming responsibility she had as fire season was approaching, nine months of dry weather, Santa Ana wins. We're going to blow one of those days. And now you know about the incompetence of the LA fire department management and Bass being in Africa. And now. This park representative who was bossing the L.A. Fire Department around because she was trying to protect some plants. And that might be why they rolled up their hoses. There was so much incompetence and stupidity. Trying to save plants. Well, you know what? All the plants are gone now. Whatever they were trying to save because they didn't want the fire department bulldozing the land to put out the January 1st fire. All those plants are gone now. Everything's gone. But it all, you know, one of the big reasons was no water in the reservoir. So the L.A. Times, they had their own streaming studio. It's called L.A. Times Studios. I don't know what they do. You know, they're desperate to make more money. They had an inspirational women's forum and leadership awards. And they gave Janice Kunoz. who may have made the single worst decision in Los Angeles history. They gave her an award. They gave her an award, and they wrote up this exciting summary of her life. Janice Quignolias is a distinguished executive with over 25 years of leadership experience. She makes $750,000 a year.

And she couldn't fill up the reservoir the way you'd fill up a swimming pool. It's the same process. Did she pay for this award? I mean, she makes so much money. I don't know. I don't know why they would pick her. I mean, it was the LA Times that broke the story that she was the idiot responsible for not filling the reservoir. And now... I don't know, eight months after doing the story, she gets an award? Since her appointment in May of 2024, she's led a workforce of nearly 12,000 employees in delivering safe, reliable water and power to 4 million residents. There was no reliable water in the Palisades when they tried to put out the fire. They were 117 million gallons short. Kinonez, get this, has guided the LADWP through a period of exceptional progress. Oh, no, she demonstrated critical crisis leadership during the response and recovery efforts for the Pacific Palisades fire. Okay, who is doing this? Who's writing this? I'm going to read that again. She demonstrated critical crisis leadership during the response and recovery efforts for the Pacific Palisades fire. But everybody talked about how horrible that was. This makes no sense. Maybe this is a hoax. There was no order in two reservoirs. And she didn't turn off the power, and those power lines fell down and started more fires. She successfully restored service with record efficiency while continuing to rebuild critical infrastructure. And then there's half a paragraph here about some solar power project she was behind. This is something you ought to know. They write, previously, Kenonia served as senior vice president, PG&E. She fled that company after PG&E started a series of massive fires up in Northern California. Wherever she goes, destructive fires follow her.

There's some, you know what? This is mental illness. It can't be anything else. This has got to be mental illness. Is anybody embarrassed at the L.A. Times? The people in the newsroom, those of you that worked on the, all the Palisade stories, and it did a great job. Did you know this other, and this is the first thing that hits you in the face, by the way, when you go to the L.A. Times is this L.A. Studios streaming project, and you end up with video flashing in your face, and then you got to scroll down to get to the news. We have to find out who's in charge of that. And we need to find out why they chose her. I want to know what they were thinking. Yeah, I think tomorrow we're going to find out name names. Because that is really, and it's so insulting and demoralizing to the families that lost their homes and the families that lost people. It's well, people died. And if the reservoir is full, fire department would have had a much better chance. Of course, there were other issues with the fire department. But a lack of water, I can't tell you how many people I know and how many times I've read interviews with residents who said, there was nobody there. Firefighters were standing around. We spoke with them, and they said, we have no water. We have no water. I heard somebody talking the other day about how their neighborhood was fine the first day of the fire. It was the next afternoon. Because nobody was around to stop the fire and it just kept burning and burning and burning until there was nothing left to burn. And if they had water, it would not happen. We know now it never should have, I mean, if they put out the original fire on the first, this never would have started. But even after it started, it could have been stopped. I cannot believe the incredible layer after layer after layer of incompetence and stupidity. Bass's office. Fire. The State Parks Department. And Janice Cignonius. She bass and Kristen Crowley, the fire chief. There's your diversity. Might want to try brains next time as one of the hiring requirements. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM 640. I don't know if you saw, but a federal court has blocked Texas from using its new redistricting map, claiming that the Republicans engaged in racial gerrymandering. Yeah, that the lines the Republicans drew in Texas were illegal and that they were, I guess, trying to... Keep black voters from electing black representatives? I'm assuming that's what that means. We get more white representatives. California's redistricting plan remains in effect, though. They took out language that said it would only kick in if Texas succeeded. And if this means that Texas failed,

And the government, Gavin Newsom was favoring Hispanic voters to get Hispanic representatives here, not white or black ones. All of, all of it's garbage. All of it's wrong. All right. Well, we'll be back tomorrow. And, you know, we're going to try to find out who works for this, L.A. Times Studios operation that gave the award to Janice Kinonias. And she's going to spend another day with a $750,000 salary and has taken no accountability for what she did and not filling up the reservoir, no explanation, no nothing. They're not getting away with this. We're going to keep on this to the end of days. We've got Michael Crozier coming up next with the news. Conway's after that. And Michael's live in the KFI 24-hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
