1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobalt 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome here. We are on 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: the air from one in till four every day, and 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: then after four o'clock if you miss something. John Cobelt's 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: show on demand on the iHeart app. I swear before 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: the show, I was taking a little nap and the 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: world here was peaceful, And I woke up from the 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: nap a half hour later and there was a major 9 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 1: fire that had spread incredibly quickly in the Castaic area. 10 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: Michael Monks from KFI News is tracking it. What's going on? 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,319 Speaker 2: This was fast and it's big, so fast it has 12 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: it's reminiscent of two weeks ago. How quickly this thing 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: blew up, because this started just after eleven o'clock this 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 2: morning in the area around Lake Caustaic, and the original 15 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: reports as we were watching it was this is about 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: forty or fifty acres, which is of great concern because 17 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: we know of the wind conditions that we're dealing with, 18 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: the red flag conditions we're dealing with, and that it 19 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: could move fast and that it did within ninety minutes. 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 2: It has exploded to thirty four hundred acres. There are 21 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 2: evacuation warnings around Lake Castaic. Excuse me, mandatory evacuations around 22 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: Lake Castaic, and evacuation warnings even farther out. They've already 23 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: got an evacuation center open at Valencia High School on 24 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 2: Dixon Drive, so you can see even from our TV 25 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 2: friends that there are people in neighborhoods near there they're 26 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: packing up. I think the hard lessons learned in Altadena 27 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: and the Palisade shows how quickly your life can be 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: upended by one of these things. So people are packing 29 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 2: up things that are important to them, things that mean 30 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: something sentimentally to them, and they're getting out of the way. 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: These flames are crazy looking. Yeah, I've heard, we got 32 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 2: I think you were telling me that. One of our 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: listeners said, like, there's only one way in, one way 34 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: out of a particular community. We did just get a 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: call from a guy who wanted me to alert the 36 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 2: host and our fellow news team members that he says 37 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: a lot of the neighborhoods in and around Castaic basically 38 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: have one way in and one way out, so do 39 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: not clog up the roads. Basically a warning to folks, 40 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: please don't come to the air area. If you do 41 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,559 Speaker 2: not need to be here. The serious situation is serious. 42 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: They have evacuated some areas, including one of the elementary schools, 43 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: North Lake Hills Elementary School just west of the Lake 44 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: there had to be evacuated and students were also moved 45 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 2: out of Castaic High School. So I mean it's a 46 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: fast moving situation. Ten did this start? Yeah, like eleven 47 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: eleven thirty is when we got the first sighting of it. 48 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: But this is what we've only one o'clock and it's 49 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: thirty ninety minutes this thing exploded. That's what they mean 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: when they talk about the dangers of these winds and 51 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 2: the red flag warnings and the conditions that this is 52 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 2: all dry vegetation too. Remember we had had to drop 53 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 2: a rain and so long in these areas, and all 54 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: that is fresh fuel for this thing, and the fire 55 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: is just gobbling it up quickly. They're attacking it, the 56 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 2: firefighters from the air, they are they are doing their best. 57 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: It seems to get a handle on it, but so far, 58 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: no slow to this spread. 59 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: I guess the terrain is so difficult it would be 60 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: hard to attack it from the ground. 61 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: It absolutely is, and it's bad news for the people 62 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: who live there. The positive compared to two weeks ago 63 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: is that it's not as densely populated as the Palisades 64 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 2: or Altadena. So this one is a little more or 65 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: common to what we're used to seeing where wildfires, fires 66 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 2: are and the type of destruction that they can take, 67 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: but not so many homes around there. However, there are 68 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: homes near there, and those folks have been told. We're 69 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: already got the two scoop super scoopers working on. Yeah, 70 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: they are up in the air and dropping water fast. 71 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: But you can see from the video that the flames 72 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: are significant. They are whipping in this wind and taking 73 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 2: as many acres as they can right now. 74 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: Right, don't fly your stupid drones. Yeah, you took out 75 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: a super Scooper exactly we ago. Hopefully we've all learned 76 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: some lessons, I would think. So, you know, the knuckleheads 77 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: who do that stuff, don't listen to the radio. Listen 78 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: to us giving out the war. That's right, all right, 79 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: We'll keep good Michael, and just burst in here. Anytime 80 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: that you've got more stuff, more has more sea. 81 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: So you know that fire that we were just saying, 82 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 3: thirty four hundred acres more than five thousand, no, yes. 83 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Five thousand, half yep, yike yes. 84 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: Watch Duty just updated. It's also on TV. More than 85 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 4: five thousand acres. 86 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: And we're looking a huge flames, long line of fire 87 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: snaking its way through the mountains up there around Castaic. 88 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: It's called the Lake Hughes Fire. I've been up that 89 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: way to Lake Hughes. Have you ever gone up there? 90 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 5: Oh? 91 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pretty lake. It's a really nice area 92 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: and they have very mountainous and a lot of vegetation, 93 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: and as Michael said, it's all extremely dry, and they're 94 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: looking at winds gusting thirty to fifty miles an hour 95 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 1: this afternoon. The strongest winds are going to be through 96 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: six o'clock tonight, and they're expecting rapid fire growth and 97 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: a lot of blowing ash in debris. I heard one 98 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: listener calling into Gari and Shannon saying it was just 99 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: raining ash all over the place. They have. What's the 100 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: status on the five? Is that now closed? Yeah? 101 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 4: Well the direction GY's going to have more on that, 102 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: but yeah. 103 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right. So what what Michael was saying is 104 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: get out. I think we've all seen what happens and 105 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: and it's really awful when people either don't get the 106 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: warnings or are trapped in some way or are lack 107 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: of daisical about it. Uh, the speed of this this 108 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: particular fire is exceptional, so uh you you don't have time. 109 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: I'm been watching now on one of the one of 110 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: the channels, Fox eleven, and they show a woman who 111 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: lives on a on a cliff behind a gated fence, 112 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: and she's got a swimming pool, and she looks like 113 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: she's taken a dog dish and she's tossing water out 114 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: of the dog dish onto the on onto the slope 115 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: just beyond her pool fence to try to I guess, 116 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, slow down any fire that is going to 117 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: make its way up. And so that's uh, that's I 118 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: I I understand. You know, it's weird because some of 119 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: the people who stayed behind in the Pacific Palisades to 120 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: uh water down their property, water down their home, whatever 121 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: they could do, and it worked for them, but it's 122 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: really risky, you know, you're playing roulette there and they 123 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: were able to save their home or mitigate the damage. 124 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: But because these people on Fox eleven, you can see 125 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: the wind whipping through their hair, they're looking at the 126 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: fire through there. They have a green metal gate for 127 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: a fence around the pool, and they're looking at the 128 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: spot fires that are suddenly appearing in the hills behind 129 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: their house. And I understand the instinct, especially since you know, 130 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: we did not get a great immediate response from the 131 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: government that I'm sure a lot of people have decided, well, 132 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: the hell with the government, the hell with what they 133 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: tell me in the warnings. But if the fire actually 134 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: invades your area, you're no match for it at all. 135 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: There's no possible way, so we will continue. That's the 136 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: Castaic fire. And there's also a lot going on in 137 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: the world because Trump is breaking a lot of furniture. 138 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: We have an interview with Tom Hoeman who is on 139 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: Fox and Friends this morning, and he's trying to drill 140 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: a message through to everybody that really, these ice raids 141 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: are going on now and they're going to continue to 142 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: go on, and this is a huge operation. No kidding, 143 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: This is not braggadocio here. This is the real thing, 144 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: and we're going to listen to the stuff he told 145 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: Fox this morning. Let's go to Deborn Mark now live 146 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: in the Cafe twenty four our newsroom. 147 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 4: Coming up at the bottom of the hour. 148 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: That firing Castaic has now burned more than five thousand acres. 149 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: Nineteen thousand people are reportedly under evacuation orders. We are 150 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 3: going to go to Ginny now and she's going to 151 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 3: tell us about what is closed near the fire areas well. 152 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 6: First off, the five Sound found is completely shut down 153 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 6: right at the one thirty eight. You're going to be 154 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 6: diverted over to the one thirty eight now. Lake Hughes 155 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 6: Road is closed. Both directions between the five over to 156 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 6: Pine Canyon Road, the five north on and on ramps 157 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 6: are shut down at Parker Road on an off ramp, 158 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 6: Castake Road and the Lake Hues on and off ramps. 159 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 6: Ridge Route Road is shut down both directions from Lake 160 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 6: Ques Road over to Templan Highway and dry Gold Road 161 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 6: is shut down.

And it's gone off fourteen times in just 193 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: an hour and forty minutes. And the fire has jumped 194 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: to the south side of Lake Hughes Road, south of 195 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: Dry Gulch Road and is fifty to seventy acres on 196 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: that side of the road, and the firewatch reporters are 197 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: listening to I guess police radio traffic, fire radio traffic. 198 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: Five fifty four acres in about an hour and fifty minutes. 199 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 1: It's an incredible, fast moving fire, spectacular video on TV. 200 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: Just a very thick black smoke, you know, mostly on 201 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: the hillsides right now, fiery red orange flame and it's 202 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: all the flame is a long line of fire down 203 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 1: down the hillside. So this is a major, major blaze 204 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: going on in the Castaic area. Lake Hughes fire. It's 205 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: known as the Hughes fire specifically. All right, let me 206 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: get to what was on this morning before maybe the 207 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: fire takes over the whole show. Tom Homan, trump'sporters are. 208 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: He went on Fox and Friends talk to the host 209 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,200 Speaker 1: Lawrence Jones to lay down as clearly as possible what's 210 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: going on and what will be going on, because there's 211 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: some left there's some progressive politicians who are barking about 212 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: trying to resist the ice roundups and rests, and he's 213 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: not putting up with it. Let's play cut number one. 214 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 7: Can you give me the latest numbers on the border. 215 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 5: Absolutely, look the greatest president in my lifetime, he's back 216 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 5: because in two days, last twenty four hours, total apprehensions 217 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 5: on the Southwest border seven hundred and sixty six. Compare 218 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 5: that to the ten of twelve thousand Biden had at 219 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 5: one time. CBP one releases zero CHNVQBA hating Nicaraguo Benzewheeler 220 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 5: releases zero total of seven hundred and sixty six across. 221 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 7: The entire Southwest border. That is a game changer. 222 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: So only seven hundred and sixty six people even tried 223 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,679 Speaker 1: to cross the border within sight of these border patrol agents. 224 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: And as he said, during the Biden time, it was 225 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: ten to twelve thousand a day. Most people in Central 226 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: and South America are not even attempting to cross the border. 227 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: They got the message, they heard it. And see that's 228 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: the most important thing, not only the roundups going on 229 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: and the arrests of the criminals, it's the deterrence factor 230 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: is tremendous. And it shows you how easy it was, 231 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: how quick it was. We didn't have to spend an 232 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: extra dollar on this. For all of Biden trying to 233 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: distract from the issue by saying, well, we needed Congress 234 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: to approve of funding. Yeah, somewhere down the road, yes, 235 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: But in the moment, all he had to do was 236 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: sign the paperwork authorizing the border patrol or directing the 237 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: border patrol to do what it's exactly done in two days. 238 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: In two days, they got the number of apprehensions down 239 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: from the over ten thousand some months ago now to 240 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: seven sixty six. And here in this clip he tells 241 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: Lawrence Jones and Fox just how many how many criminals 242 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: were arrested in the last twenty four hours. 243 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 8: What would a person have to do to get a 244 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 8: visit from Ice. 245 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 5: Being the country illegally? First of all, I mean, there's 246 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 5: nothing in the immigration law says you got to be 247 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 5: convicted of a serious crime to be removed under the INA. 248 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 5: So if the being the country illegally, ICE CONVISI you. 249 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 5: But right now, as we said repeatedly, the President trust 250 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 5: been clear, we're concentrating on the worst first, the public 251 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 5: safety threats, and that's security threats. And just yesterday, in 252 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 5: the last twenty four hours, I rusted over three hundred 253 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 5: and eight three hundred and eight serious criminals. Some of 254 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 5: them were murderers, some of them were rapists, some of 255 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 5: them raped the child, some were a sexual sullivant child. 256 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 5: So ICE is doing their job. They're prioritizing just as 257 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 5: the President said they would. So the ICE is performing 258 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 5: excellent right now out in the field, and they're going 259 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 5: to continue every day. 260 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: I'd like to know when he says murder some rapists, 261 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,239 Speaker 1: did they commit those crimes here or in their home countries? 262 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: Had they been arrested but out on bail? Have they 263 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: been convicted? And somehow weaseled out of out of jail 264 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: because of George Gascone style. District attorneys interested to find 265 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: out about that. Laurence Jones from Fox asked home in here, 266 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: what is the next step to keep the. 267 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 7: Cust next option on the table to get more safety 268 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 7: in this country. 269 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 5: Well, D D Will Will They're going they're going to 270 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 5: assistances on the boarder. They already started on that plan, 271 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 5: so we won't have some military on the border.

But guess what if during the United 291 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 5: States leave me, They're gonna be arrested to So sanctuary 292 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 5: City is gonna get exactly what they don't want, more 293 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 5: agents in the communities, more people arrested, more claud was arrested. 294 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 5: So that's the game they want to play game on. 295 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: I am astonished when you hear somebody lay out exactly 296 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: what this This sanctuary city, our sanctuary state philosophy is about. 297 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: Remember our state, Gavin Newsom, and our city and here 298 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles will not let Ice come into the 299 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: jails in prison and grab the illegal aliens. They will 300 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: not let Ice know that, hey, we have some of 301 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: the guys you want, and these are felons, violent felons 302 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: in some cases. Instead you let them go, maybe on bail, 303 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: maybe because you can't. I mean, they were letting people 304 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: out of jail in prison just to let them out. 305 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: But what happens then they go back to some crummy 306 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: Rundown apartment building. That apartment building is filled with dozens, 307 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: hundreds of people. These guys are living with others, and 308 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: now Ice has to enter. You could easily end up 309 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: in a gunfight ice agentsert risk, the criminal himself could 310 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: get killed, anybody that he's living with in that apartment, 311 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: anybody in that apartment building or walking by on the 312 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: street could end up getting a bullet somewhere. Why would 313 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: you do that? How responsible and stupid is it for 314 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom to have a sanctuary state policy that puts 315 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: more people at risk of getting caught in a firefight 316 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: instead of just calmly walking into a jailer prison and 317 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: apprehending the criminal illegal alien. That's what a normal person 318 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: would do. But a whack job who's married to this 319 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: weird religious like philosophy that illegal aliens can't be touched 320 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: no matter what they've done either here in their home country, 321 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: no matter what the charge is absolutely crazy and I 322 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: can't believe we put up with this stupid concept all 323 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: these years. Here's another one is Arizona Attorney General, a 324 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: woman named Chris Bays. She's way out progressive and she said, 325 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: I will have I will also will not have any 326 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: part of and will fight the attempt to set up 327 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: what I believe are essentially concentration camps and family set 328 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: operation camps in the state of Arizona. And Hulban went 329 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: nuts over that. He says, concentration camps, ICE has detention centers. 330 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: We just lost a Border Patrol agent who was shooting 331 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: in Vermont yesterday, and they're the Gestapo. The detention centers 332 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 1: have the best standards in the entire industry. I'll compare 333 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: ICE detention centers in any state or federal facility or 334 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 1: any county facility in the entire world. We have the 335 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: highest detention standards. So that's an insult, and that's a lie. 336 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: And that's what these whack job progressives do standing up 337 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,479 Speaker 1: to protect violent criminals who are here illegally. That's what 338 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: they do. That's their constituency. That's why they got into office, 339 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: to protect them and let us be the victims of 340 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: their violence. Absolutely, a Newsom is part of this crowd. 341 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 1: So is Karen Bass. They all, they all signed sanctuary 342 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 1: city laws, embraced them, four to five them if necessary, 343 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: preach publicly about them. They're insane people. They are mentally unwell. 344 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: If you would decide that you're going to side with 345 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: criminal aliens, violent criminal aliens and not let the federal 346 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: government take them away, and not help the federal government 347 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 1: take them away, and you're absolutely off your rocker. You 348 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 1: should not be in office. Just another set of reasons 349 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: as if you know do some in bass didn't do 350 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: enough damage with their fire policies or lack of fire policies. 351 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: Here's what they're doing on the side, helping to protect 352 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: illegal alien criminals. Oh, this is going to be some 353 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: year coming up. 354 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A 355 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 8: six forty. 356 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: We're on every day from one until four. Then after 357 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: four o'clock you listened to John Cobel Show on demand 358 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: on the iHeart app to listen to what you missed 359 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: if you've been out of time for a couple of hours. 360 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: A lot is happening in the Castaic area. The Hues 361 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: fire near Lake Hughes is over five thousand and fifty acres. 362 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: It is a massive blaze, huge flames and lots of thick, 363 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: dark smoke. It's covering a wide area long, a long 364 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: snake of fire in the hills, and thousands of people 365 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: are being evacuated already, and it's quite a sight if 366 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: you can get near a television screen. And we're supposed 367 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: to have windy weather, very windy weather for the rest 368 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: of the afternoon at least, and we've got the news 369 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: department on top of this and they'll break in when 370 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: there's anything new. And we opened the show, we were 371 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: talking about the fire, and then Tom Holman on Fox 372 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: News he's the borders are and he was detailing just 373 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: how many arrests they got accomplished four hours of criminal 374 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: illegal aliens, many cases violent criminals, and how how much 375 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: they cut the traffic at the border, where during the 376 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: worst of Joe Biden's days, there were ten to twelve 377 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 1: thousand people apprehended at the border and most of them 378 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: given a chance to apply for asylum. Yesterday it was 379 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: seven hundred and sixty six people. This is how deterrence works. 380 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people not only self deporting, 381 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 1: but thousands and thousands are not making the trip anymore 382 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: to the Mexican border because most of the people who 383 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: made it to the border during the Biden days and 384 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: applied for asylum, they'll be denied asylum. They don't qualify. 385 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: They're not in danger, they're not being oppressed, they're not 386 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 1: being attacked for some reason. They just wanted to come 387 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: here because they wanted to come here, And you can't 388 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: have an immigration policy based on that, or we're going 389 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: to blow up to about two billion people. Now to 390 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: tie both issues together, the fire and the funding needed 391 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,719 Speaker 1: to clean up after the fire and the illegal alien issue. 392 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:21,479 Speaker 1: This story out of the La Times, Trump signed an 393 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: executive order that directs federal officials to make sure that 394 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: sanctuary jurisdictions which try to interfere with the lawful exercise 395 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: of federal law enforcement operations do not receive access to 396 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: federal funds. Now, the LA City Council approved another sanctuary 397 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: city law back in November forbidding city employees and resources 398 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: from being involved in federal immigration enforcement. If they interfere 399 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: in some way, they'll lose funding. The city officials are claiming, no, no, no, 400 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: we just said we're not going to help. You can't 401 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: force a city or a county or a state to help. 402 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: But if the city, county, or state gets in the 403 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: way under this directive, they'll lose federal funds. And so 404 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: you are going to see if there's any lovers of 405 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: criminal illegal aliens. You are not going to see any 406 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: La or California official resist the roundups that are coming, 407 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 1: the rest that are coming, because if just one city 408 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: official gets in the way somehow you could see your 409 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: city or county or the whole state lose federal funding. 410 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: And those are the kind of strings that have to 411 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: be attached because what if they get in the way, 412 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: they're violating federal law. And what I want to see 413 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: in Homan has promised he'll do this if any estate 414 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: or local officials do get in the way in a 415 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: visible way, but they get arrested because it's illegal to 416 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: harbor an illegal alien. That's not too redundant. The writer 417 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: of this, Hugo Soda Martinez, he's the city council member 418 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: who wrote this idiotic sanctuary of law. He's the one 419 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: who's claiming that they're not going to interfere with federal law. 420 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: It's just that city resources and staff are not used 421 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: to collaborate with immigration authorities. How you know, as Hugosda 422 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: Martinez represents a district near downtown LA or Hollywood, I 423 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: think Hollywood, and it's really dirty, filthy district. Somebody posted 424 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: a video on Instagram the other day that I saw 425 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: they did a walking tour of Hugo Soda Martinez his 426 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: district in hollyw Would you wouldn't believe the amount of garbage. Yeah, 427 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: I just was overwhelmed. The guys who are shooting the 428 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: video were overwhelmed as well. It is so disgusting. And 429 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: that's just another aspect of what we pay for in 430 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: Los Angeles we don't get. You know, We're way underfunded 431 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: for fire, way underfunded for police, apparently way underfunded for sanitation, 432 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: for just basically cleaning up garbage unless the workers are 433 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: just not bothering anymore. And the ironic thing, And I 434 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 1: you know, I don't have time to do an in 435 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: depth study on this, but why is it the people 436 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: who live in some of the most crime prone neighborhoods 437 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: or garbage strewn neighborhoods vote for a clown like Hugo 438 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: Soda Martinez who apparently has no problem with the crime, 439 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: no problem with the illegal alien underground economy that clots 440 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: up the streets in his district, and no problem with 441 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: the filth in the garbage. I like, why did he 442 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: run to represent the district when he does nothing to 443 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: ease the crime, nothing to ease the invasion of all 444 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: the illegal aliens, nothing to ease the amount of garbage 445 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: piling up on the streets in his district, And why 446 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: do people vote for this. It's just it's just overwhelming. 447 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: Of course, these all these stupid sanctuary laws were started 448 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: by Eric Garcetti, and the amount of damage that Garcetti 449 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: did to the city in nine and a half years 450 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: cannot be quantified. But he was another one. I didn't 451 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: understand why. I didn't understand how he got reelected, and 452 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: it was that second term, which they extended to five 453 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: and a half years to align with an election schedule 454 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: that was consistent with the rest of the state. He 455 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: ended up getting five and a half years in his 456 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: second term. And wow, you know, if he had nuked 457 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: the place, it would have done less damage. I'm going 458 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 1: to continue coming up. 459 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 460 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 8: six forty. 461 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: Today I went on my wife, Deborah Cobelt her podcast, 462 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: it's called Deborah Cobelt Live. To make sure I get 463 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: the title right, Deborah Cobelt Live. It's already up on YouTube, 464 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: so go watch it. She and I talked about the fires, 465 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: and we talked about the incoming Trump administration. We recorded 466 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 1: it this morning and it's out there already on YouTube 467 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: Deborah Cobelt Live, and enjoy it now. In the present moment, 468 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: Daniel Guss is reporting that the City of Los Angeles 469 00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 1: appears to be broke. And Gus says that for one 470 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty days, LA will get one hundred percent 471 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: reimbursement for all their fire expenses. One hundred percent reimbursement 472 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: to LA for six months. But as he was looking 473 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: over the statements, there was one council member, Monica Rodriguez, 474 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: was discussing how all these expenses is going to impact 475 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: something called prioritized hiring, and Gus was wondering, what is that? 476 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: What is prioritized hiring? And he also noticed that the 477 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: city must front the money for these expenses and then 478 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 1: get reimbursement from the federal government. But they don't have 479 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: any money. They might have to take a loan first 480 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: to pay for the fire expenses and then submit an 481 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: expense sheet to the federal government. Because they're already borrowing 482 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars to pay injury settlements for 483 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: the cracked sidewalks all over the city. So many people 484 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: have sued because they never fixed the sidewalks for like 485 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: twenty years. So now they're borrowing money for those settlements, 486 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: and now they're going to have to borrow money to 487 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: pay for the fire expenses and then hope the FEDS 488 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: reimburse them properly. Meantime, Monica Rodriguez wants to hire more 489 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: people I don't know to do. What if it's not 490 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: police and it's not fire, then they shouldn't be hiring 491 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: anybody to do anything, probably to reinforce the DEI office. 492 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: Speaking of the federal DEI offices are going to close 493 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 1: for good in about seven minutes. Right, it's five o'clock 494 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: Eastern time, in seven minutes two o'clock our time. And 495 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 1: Trump issued an executive order that all the DEI government 496 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: employees go on paid leave. Well, that's not going to 497 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: make a difference, because they're all home anyway, and they're 498 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: all getting paid, and they're they must be doing nothing, 499 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 1: because when you work at a DEI office, Wait a second, 500 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: if you work at home for a DEI agency, what 501 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: is it that you do exactly? How come there's never 502 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: been an investigation into that racket?
