April Silverman: LA Mom Says California Has Collapsed: “We Had to Become Vigilantes” | DSH #1813

When you think of the biggest threat to America,

would you put the spread of Islam to the West in that discussion?

Yeah, absolutely.

How come?

I don't think they're compatible with the West.

And the fact that they're able to lie,

that's part of their religion,

that they're able to lie to spread whatever it is,

tell you whatever you need to hear.

Like, that's very scary.

Look at Zora and Mamdani.

None of the stuff that the progressive stuff that he's been pushing

is compatible with Sharia law.

So how exactly can you be deviled?

Okay, guys, here I am fest with April Silverman.

Thanks for joining the show, Zora.

Thanks for having me.

All the way from LA.

Yep, a long flight.

Lock going on over there.

Yes.

Man, it must be tough living out there as a conservative.

Definitely tough,

but I feel like there are some changes happening,

especially after the Palisades fire.

I think people have started to wake up a little bit about

the horrible corrupt government that we have.

Yeah, that felt like a major wake-up call,

not just for Cali, but for the whole country.

Just to see how things were handled there.

Yeah.

Because if you just allow things to

faster and go on for so long,

just one day it's just going to explode.

And people like me, we could see it happening.

Like, people are all shocked about this fire,

sorry, shocked about fires,

but there are fires every single day

that are happening because of the homeless.

They say like, I don't know, 90-something percent of them

are due to the homeless.

They call it, like, I get, you know, the citizen app,

so I get an alert, trash fire.

Trash fire is a code for a homeless fire

because they're either doing drugs like lighting up

or they're so cold that they're, you know,

picking a little bomb fire.

Wow, so they don't give a shit.

They don't give a shit about what's going on.

All the fire departments begging for help,

they're saying, we can't get to anything

because the homeless are just killed.

They're just draining their resources

and on the police.

So everything boils down to the homeless.

And that's the real issue here.

Do you see the homelessness issue

as the biggest issue in California right now?

Yes.

What?

Hands down.

Like, that's how I got involved into politics.

We had a homeless, I live in a great neighborhood

where the Getty Mansion is,

where the neighbor, oh, where the mayor gets to live,

on our dime, and it's like $3 million for a tear down.

That's where Karen Basloves?

Yes, just so you understand how expensive it is to live there.

How is she affording that?

Oh, we're paying for that.

The mayor, her salary.

The mayor gets to go to the mansion that the Getty's made.

Wow.

Every, you know, every new term,

that's where the mayor gets to live in the residence.

So they take, like, she takes over.

But in our neighborhood,

but if you go, you can't dare go to where she lives

and like, and camp there.

God forbid.

Yeah, she won't allow that.

She won't allow that.

Like, they'll be there in five seconds.

But we started to get a guy that I was convinced

was a drug dealer and he had dogs

and he took over a whole block.

She is.

Yeah.

And they didn't listen to me counsel,

like, gaslighting me, telling me everything's fine.

And he was verbally abusive, screaming at all our kids,

like, who are trying to just ride their scooters?

Like, this is a good neighborhood.

It's like one of the, it's the original Beverly Hills

Hancock Park.

And they all just don't listen.

And one day, I just decided to hire a security guard.

And we took over in the middle of the night

and we had, and I brought construction workers

and we built up a wall and he couldn't come back.

I did like a haul.

So you had to take action into your own hands.

Yeah.

Doing all over the city.

And you're there paying millions for your house,

trying to have a safe neighborhood for your kids.

Yeah.

That's allowed.

But we've had to become vigilantes, like,

full on vigilante.

If you want anything done,

because the police will not come.

That's why I'm here.

Unless you're like about to die.

I was in Woodland Hills.

I couldn't do it.

You can't do it.

During the pandemic.

Wow.

My car got broken into.

They didn't care.

My apartment didn't care.

I asked for the footage,

because obviously they had it,

but they don't want to be liable.

So they don't want to give you the footage.

They never gave me the footage.

So I just moved out.

The store crossed the street from our apartment

got broken into and robbed.

Cops never came.

They just don't come.

Yeah.

They don't come.

Look, I don't blame the police.

I'm, you know, I backed the blue and everything.

Their resources are depleted.

No one, it's unbelievable to me,

because they don't have any support from these politicians.

They degrade the police, yet they need them for everything.

So the police are literally having to deal with cleanup,

like dirty, homeless people.

And like the season, all these horrible things,

like they have to deal with this.

I've had to be involved in 51,

getting a 51, 50 psychiatric hold for mental patients

that were homeless.

Do you know how hard it is to get them arrested?

We had to learn all the loopholes on what to say.

She said, I'm going to kill you to some,

to a neighbor of mine, and that's not enough.

We had to get her to walk into the,

into the street and then shout it.

So she's endangering herself and others.

Like it's just, like mental gymnastics, you know,

what they're able to rationalize.

Are the JL still overcrowded there?

Yeah.

So even if you want to get them arrested.

Doesn't matter.

Doesn't matter.

There's no bail.

Yeah, they'll get released if they go at all.

Like it's just, it's a terrible system.

I don't know how I can continue like this,

but we need somebody to jump in the mayor's race

because we're running out of time.

So.

Is anyone challenging Karen on it?

Not yet.

How is she still married?

I've lost my mind.

I, to me, I think that if she, if she was white,

there's no way she would get away with this.

She'd have to resign.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

It's, yeah, nobody wants to admit it,

but she gets away with murder.

Like, do you know what's going on in Skid Row?

There's like some whole thing going on with animals.

Where animals, because of the homeless,

they're literally abusing animals like on another level.

Yeah, only now dogs and horrible.

They're just meant like, like,

there's like a genocide of animals going on.

Yeah.

So if someone's dog gets out the house,

they're just killing them.

Yeah.

Oh, you can, I guess they got no food.

All right.

So they got to kill it and eat it.

It's just, it's like the wild wild west.

Everybody else is the priority.

And then the taxpayers, the, the goods to merit

and the good citizens were like screwed basically

for all the taxes we pay.

It's unbelievable.

You're paying the most state tax by far in the country.

You're getting 25 billion of fixed homelessness.

Yeah.

Disappeared.

It's gone.

Yeah.

New sum doesn't know where it is.

But I know where it is.

Basically, there's tons of developers that are literally now

becoming, I've been saying this for years.

All of a sudden, they're having crazy weddings.

Bar mitzvahs for their families.

New cars, crazy, they're not buying homes.

They're renting homes.

But like, paying, you're like, why would anyone pay that much

rent?

Just buy something, right?

They're getting mansions, fancy cars, vacations,

private jets, you name it.

Now, because Trump appointed a US attorney,

Bill Isaley, he started investigating it.

And he's like, there's tons more indictments to come.

He got two so far.

Wow.

Coachella tickets, Birken bags.

He's paying $45,000 a month at a mansion on our dime,

$2 million AMX bill, like crazy stuff going down.

Holy crap.

And I think it's just all over the place.

Because why?

They don't force the homeless to get the help.

They just keep giving them debit cards.

You don't want to get off the street.

That's fine.

We just let them do whatever they want.

And they just keep building more housing.

So they're paying all these developers more money.

But the housing is all empty.

Nobody's going there.

Because no one's forcing them to go.

They made them like a building with like vegan food, a gym,

like art classes, like it's a joke.

Do you think anyone's there?

No.

And it's millions and millions and millions at all.

It's like bananas.

So if he's doing this on the state level,

imagine what he does if he becomes president in 2028.

No, you can't do it.

He ran once.

It's just math.

He ran one state into the ground.

You can't let him run another 49.

It's just not possible.

We know that, but this average person.

I really hope so.

I think that if not for the palisades,

nobody would be like, that's a good point.

There's no way.

Because the palisades, those were his donors.

That was his base, you know?

Yeah.

So if he like, finally, people are starting to wake up

and thank God for a spence of Pratt

and people like that starting to just use their platform

and just awaken everybody to what's going on there.

That's going on in Cali.

And then on the other side of the country, New York City.

Yeah.

You worried about that?

Very, very worried about that because in LA,

you know, there's like a song in the 80s,

nobody walks in LA.

We're all in our cars, right?

So as dangerous as it is, like I park,

I either valet or wherever I'm going,

I'm like right there.

And I'm not like walking on my phone,

walking around, distracted.

In New York, they're all in public transportation,

even the rich people.

They're all, they're walking everywhere.

They're all exposed.

So the bus is and the trains,

everything's going to become homeless shelters.

And you're going to have stabbings,

like what do you think's going to happen?

It's literally a mental institution.

Cheers.

Yeah, these people are crazy, the homeless now.

This is not the homeless of like back in the day,

people that actually wanted the help.

These are people who are,

they know all the loopholes of the system.

They're like lawyers, they're junkies.

Yes, they're masters at this.

The squatting problem's a major, major problem also, you know?

Especially in Calia.

Yeah, because there's no rights.

Basically, we're just all on our own.

And it's literally like the purge, that horror movie.

That's just where I feel like.

Yeah, it's a shame.

I think because the drug problem too,

it's made the homeless problem worse.

I used to be pretty giving the homeless people,

I used to like give them food and stuff,

but now it's almost a risk if I want to go out

and give them stuff, you know?

They could do something to you.

Yeah, I don't know, like,

I don't feel safe anymore.

No.

It's a shame to say that because I want to help, but.

But you know why?

I don't feel bad because the amount of resources they have,

if they want to accept the help,

it's unbelievable what they give them.

Things that you and me would never get.

Really, cell phones, right?

Everything.

You name it, they'll give them whatever,

they decide they want some, they want to get the help,

they'll give them whatever it is,

with no requirements whatsoever.

You don't have to get sober,

you don't have to leave the spot, nothing.

It's just, it's mind blowing.

So of course, the problem's never gonna get solved like this.

So I just am waiting to see like what,

when is it gonna, like when is it gonna burst, you know?

Cause we just can't keep going like this.

There's this new technology floating around

that people cannot stop talking about.

It's called the light system.

Before you roll your eyes, it's not some gadget

you strap on or supplement that promises the world.

Every once in a while,

I come across something that actually stops me in my tracks

and the light system is one of those things.

This isn't a supplement, it's not a biohack,

it's a full on energy environment,

built to help your mind and body synchronize,

recharge and operate at a higher level.

It uses light patterns, color frequencies,

and coherent energy fields.

All the stuff that your body naturally responds to

to create a coherent, energetic field around you.

People are saying they feel more clear,

more centered, more alive in their environment

and honestly the science behind it is fascinating.

As I've seen a lot of wellness tech,

but the numbers coming out on this new study

of the light system are actually insane.

Researchers measured human chic cells

before and after sitting in front of the system

and get this.

A 30 minute session boosted cellular conductivity

by 61%.

The study even showed increased conductivity

and isolated DNA,

which is associated with stronger structure

and better repair pathways.

The result, more clarity, more balance and more alignment.

You could say $500 now if you go to the lightsystems.com

and use discount code Sean.

There's rumors come all along,

wants to run again in 28, did you see that?

Yeah, I'm very excited about that.

Her new son might be on a sick ticket.

Imagine that.

Talk about math, like she couldn't even run for governor

because she was scared she wouldn't get support.

That's one state that's your home state, right?

You would think everyone would vote for her.

Why would you think that you'd be able to get all 50 states?

You already crap, like what's new?

She's just tried with a billion dollars.

Yeah, and everybody also bashed her this whole time.

Like since this past year,

all the whistleblowers everybody came out to bash her.

Like I think she committed career suicide,

but she doesn't stop this one.

She's like the thickest skin I've ever seen in my life.

Her book was a tough read.

Oh yeah.

I couldn't get through it.

Yeah.

I tried.

I tried my hardest.

I could knock it through it.

And I tried to be objective.

I tried to have both sides on the show, but God damn.

Wow.

That was a tough read.

Yeah.

And if she has to go through the primary this time,

actually, I just can't see it.

I don't think there's any way.

I mean, she got, she was the first one to get out last time now.

So what's gonna change now?

I don't understand what you think.

There's no way.

What do you think with all the, about all the candy stuff?

I know she met with Erica.

Hopefully things are good now,

but what do you think about it?

I don't know.

I think I heard she's doubling down on Erica.

Oh, she's doubling down now?

No way.

I've been filming all this.

So I haven't had a chance either.

Big guy.

But I heard she's literally going hard.

So the meeting did not go well.

I guess not.

But she's so like all over the place.

One day she's this.

One day she's that it's just it's out of control.

You know, and it's not even just the Israel issue.

It's just like personality.

You can't just start throwing out names every second

and changing your mind.

Did you see the clip yesterday of Pierce Morgan with her?

I saw her in a video.

She changed what she said within five minutes.

Yeah.

And like it's all on video.

How can you say that?

She said they're complicit in the murder.

And then she's like, no, I didn't say

that they were complicit in a cover up.

That's you cannot just throw out words like this.

I think they debunked the flights from Egypt

or something.

A lot of stuff's getting debunked lately.

Yeah.

I don't know.

She's gone off the deband, huh?

Yeah, big time.

I still really, I loved her personally.

Yeah, I used to love her.

I know she has like a big female audience too.

Yeah, so.

But I think after this week, I think

she lost a lot of her audience.

I think people are starting to wake up.

But I just my issue with all of it is,

besides for the fact that we're going after a widow

and you know, after all that she's gone through

and going through like this is the last thing she needed.

But if you're going to be a conservative influencer,

you need to help us win elections.

And right now between her and Tucker,

like they're not helping us win elections.

Like I feel like I'm doing more.

I worked on, I don't know, I think it was like

five elections before November with the states.

Like I was busy promoting, promoting all these other states

non-stop talking about them and dissecting them.

And the Kuba campaign asked me to help.

And like all these campaigns reached out

and I did it on my own also.

But I'm saying like, they have these massive platforms.

And if we don't retain like leadership,

what's going to happen then?

We're not here to solve, you know, murder cases.

This isn't like a murder mystery, you know?

I don't know, I don't know.

It's like a true crime podcast.

I don't know what it is, but it's just not helpful anymore.

Tucker just spoke here.

Were you surprised he was still allowed here?

Yes, I know he was very close with Charlie.

Yep.

And I was a very big fan of Tucker also.

But I didn't appreciate what he did yesterday.

I'm shocked to, I'm shocked to, he basically

warned everybody that they were going to World War II,

I think, yes, World War III, sorry, with Venezuela.

That that's what we saw that and well, that didn't happen.

It was about the economy.

So it's just like if you're not here to be, you know, helpful

and I just don't know what the point of anyone's platform

is right now.

Yeah.

Did you start losing support for him with his Israel take

or when did you start kind of not supporting Tucker as much?

I get, I'm an Orthodox Jew and I'm very like my own person.

I formulate my own opinions.

I do my own research.

I don't just, I'm not a sheep.

I don't just blindly find, follow anybody.

So I always loved him and I gave him a lot and Tucker.

Even though everybody gave me so much backlash for it,

I gave it a lot of time.

And I just started to see all these things

and all this, it feels like pouring a little bit.

Like they're trying to like get all this attention.

Like fear mongering and just like clickbait views.

Like I don't know what they're trying to gain.

But if you're not going to help us, you know,

as Republicans and win elections,

I don't know what your purpose is anymore.

Just go into something else.

It does feel like the right is more divided than ever right now.

Yeah.

I think it's the Israel issue and the files.

I think those two are just and the files.

Okay, the files were totally mishandled.

I don't know what's going on.

And I'm also even more alarmed that Dan Bonsino quit.

Yeah, he's just resigned.

I think it's because he didn't like what he saw there.

Probably.

He's a very, you know, moral person.

So it's making me a little bit nervous.

What will like what happened there?

Yeah.

And I don't think he's going to be able to tell us much anyways.

Probably not.

So I don't know if those will ever get released.

No, there might be a good reason,

but I think people just are very divided with it.

Yeah, I know that it's just going to,

but I think it's we're having it worse now

because all these little information that we're getting.

Oh, a picture of Trump again, a picture of this one.

Bill Clinton, like I need the facts.

Yeah.

Yeah, don't give little teasers once a month or something.

Yeah, but those don't prove anything.

I need to know who, because I've already seen the fly logs.

I went down the rabbit hole like five years ago.

So I already, I need to know for a fact who was on the island

and who did what with children.

That's it to me.

I already know they were all friends with him.

They were friends.

Everybody knows that it's not a secret.

So some of them had falling out with them

because they didn't want to be associated anymore,

like Trump was.

So I'm not harping on it because, you know,

I get that it's complicated,

but I think it's doing more damage now

because I know they're scared to release it

to like damage people's careers and stuff,

but people's careers are in the toilet, as it is.

So I don't know.

You got to pick a lane sometimes.

Yeah, when you think of the biggest threat to America,

would you put the spread of Islam to the West

in that discussion?

Yeah, absolutely.

How come?

I don't need their compatible with the West.

And the fact that they're able to lie,

that's part of their religion,

that they're able to lie to like spread whatever it is,

tell you whatever you need to hear.

Like, that's very scary.

Look at Zora and Mom Donnie.

None of the stuff that the progressive stuff

that he's been pushing is compatible with Sharia law.

So how exactly can you be devout?

Like, then you find out he takes pictures

with this mayor from Uganda,

who I think was like killing gay people or something.

It just doesn't make any sense,

but he wants to like allow legalized prostitution.

Like, none of this makes any sense.

The same way he's kept saying it.

I'm gonna give all, I'm just going after the 1%,

I'm going after the billionaires,

and then now he's begging for money.

And they're so stupid that they gave him all this money.

They're just, the people are just so dumb.

And they just, and I connected what they did with him

to like the Candace thing.

People are literally donating to her.

Really?

Oh, for them a crown legal fund?

No, she's literally doing an Instagram live.

She was so desperate after the Erica Kirk meeting.

She went on Instagram live because she started to lose support.

And people are giving out, and I took a screenshot,

I took a video of this badges

that are literally paying on Instagram like likes.

And these are not rich people that are doing this.

So I just found it so similar

to like what's going on with Zora and Mamdani,

the people who just don't want to pay for anything

are the ones who are now donating

to pay for his transition fund.

Like, interesting.

It's very interesting.

Mamdani's rise was very fishy to me,

the way he went about like got famous quick.

Well, because he wasn't doing well months before.

Yeah.

All of a sudden.

I mean, look, there's a lot of dark money behind him.

You need serious money to go that viral that quick.

Yeah.

They also took advantage of the fact

that they were not united in New York.

That's true.

About a.

No one was willing to drop out.

No one was willing to look at Eric Adams.

I heard did get money.

And I did threats from Trump.

Yeah.

Yes.

Wow.

And Curtis Lee what wasn't listening?

So because he was because there's like a loophole in the law

where if he didn't drop out by January now,

he gets to keep all the campaign funny.

He didn't spend any money.

The account was full.

Why would you be doing that?

Once you want to use every tool at your disposal to win.

Wild.

Isn't that crazy?

That's crazy.

So you just basically sacrificed in New York.

It's awful.

What do you think Trump's going to have to do for us to win 2028?

Do you think he'll have to end the Israel war?

Do you think he'll have to do something crazy?

We talk a lot on this show about taking risks

and trying to get ahead.

It lets be real.

The world feels shaking right now.

AI's changing jobs, markets are all over the place.

Nothing feels guaranteed.

And at some point, you realize no one's coming to save you.

You've got to protect yourself.

And one thing people forget about is life insurance.

If you're new to it, you're not alone.

That's why I checked out Select Quote.

They've been around for over 40 years

and helped more than two million Americans buying coverage

that actually fits their life and budget.

They compare policies from top-rated insurance companies

and do the work for you for free.

You can even get same day coverage up to $2 million

with no medical exam.

Life insurance is never cheaper than it is today.

Get the right life insurance for you for less

and save more than 50% at selectquote.com slash DSH.

Save more than 50% on term life insurance

at selectquote.com slash DSH today to get started

at selectquote.com slash DSH.

I would like to see from hand before that.

I would like to see from him do like take care more

of like a fatter, some sort.

I don't know the legal law for it,

but maybe like a crime bill or like a federal laws

to start going after all the, I'm sorry.

All the stuff we're dealing with in the blue states.

Basically what we see in the blue states and cities,

we don't get to get a lot of like reap the benefits

of the Trump presidency, like the gas,

any of the homeless and all these things

that like other states have no problem with.

We are just suffering here, you know?

So I'd like to see him get more involved

and take it maybe like a federal takeover

of California, just something

because we're all drowning in some of these states.

Part of me wonders because she has beef with new sum

if he's letting that get in the way of that, you know?

Probably.

He probably doesn't want to help him.

No.

You know what I mean?

He's sending the garden.

He's, yeah, I don't know, they got major beef, so.

They got major beef.

I liked more back in the day, new sum in him

were like working in unison.

In the first term, yeah.

And it was better for us because like new sum,

I don't know what happened with him.

He did a 180.

A few months, when he interviewed Charlie.

Charlie, he was a different man.

He was more moderate.

Basically, he seemed more moderate a few months ago.

Like, remember, he's like, I never said Latinx

and I never, I don't believe that it's fair

to have the trans men and sports, all that stuff.

And all of a sudden, I don't know why somebody

must have told him to just go the full blown liberal.

Crazy, like he's just a different person.

And he hired, have you heard about the tweets

that he has from his press office?

He hired this like woke gay Jewish guy

and some Latina girl, super progressive, crazy.

And they think they're so funny,

they're doing what Trump does with the mean tweets.

Yeah.

But it's not funny because the left camp meme,

like they're not remotely funny.

And they do the cringiest things,

like the crossing of the legs, they embraced it.

And they made him like crosses legs that he lifted his legs up.

It looked like a sexual position.

And they're like democracy is protecting

democracy have to be very flexible.

Like, what you guys are weird.

Like, they just make him like,

gay, like I don't know what they're doing with it.

It's just like not landing.

And they're also super anti-Semitic.

They go after Stephen Miller 24-7.

Really?

Yeah, they made it like like.

I thought is he not Jewish or?

No.

All his donors are Jewish, by the way.

And he made it like a,

the day before young Kippur,

the holiest day of the year,

he did like a 1930s Nazi propaganda cartoon

of Stephen Miller elongated his nose

and did Trump like a dog.

Like he's literally like, he's the master.

So like the truth, like the trope,

the anti-Semitic trope.

Like, I am not a sensitive person,

but this was like so obvious.

It's like wild.

How he got away with like,

he just gets away with everything this guy.

You got to go on his podcast.

Oh, yeah, all right.

I don't know if he still films it, but.

He doesn't, because no one's watching.

Yeah, I think he took a break.

Yeah.

I think it was smart to start one,

but he just wasn't consistent, I guess.

No, he wasn't consistent.

He probably got a call to start acting a certain way.

Even banning, I was excited about him,

but he didn't hit him, I think you so.

He didn't hit him hard enough.

Nobody's been hitting him hard enough,

and that's the problem we're having.

I feel like people like me know all his inside and out,

like all the problems with his policies.

Yeah, because you're experiencing it.

Yeah, it's in real time.

So like, I just think that it's such a waste

when we don't have people who know it well enough

to go after them hard.

It's a classic kid situation where you lose touch with your,

you get to a certain level, the DC bubble or whatever,

and you lose touch with the people you,

that got you there, right?

Exactly.

Well, what's next for you?

Do you have your own show?

Do you have anything you want to promote?

So I have an Instagram that's growing really fast,

where I post, it's started off just LA stuff,

and then like, I got followers from all over the place,

and so I'm just really tackling everything politics,

pop culture stuff, like making the bridge between the two,

and I try to make politics exciting and funny

for people and entertaining.

So a lot of people tell me like they never were interested

till they started following me, they love it.

So.

Well, we'll link it in the video.

Thanks for coming on to that.

Yes, thank you so much for having me.

Yeah, check it out, guys.

Check out the Instagram, peace.
