1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: We are on every day. 4 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 2: From one into four o'clock, and every day after four 5 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: o'clock it's the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand, same 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 2: as the radio show. You're not gonna get anything new, 7 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: we can't work that much. It's for people who missed 8 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: the show the first time. You can hear any segment, 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 2: or you just enjoyed it so much you want to 10 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: hear it again so that it gets posted on the 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 2: iHeart app. After four o'clock, we have Kevin Kylie coming 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 2: up after one p thirty. Kevin Kylie has a bill 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 2: to stop all the redistricting madness. Texas wants to redraw 14 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 2: their congressional districts and squeeze out Democrats, and California wants 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: to rejaw its districts, or at least Newsom does, I'm 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: not sure the state does. Newsom does, and to squeeze 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: out Republicans. He'd like to squeeze nearly all of them out. 18 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: And he's got a big because it's a constitutional amendment. 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: Talk about that later. 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: Have Kevin Kayliod because his federal bill would say you 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 2: can't do redistricting in between censuses. And speaking of census, 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 2: these census, we'll have another story on that, because Trump 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: wants to eliminate illegal aliens from the census count, which 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: you may not know this, but they're part of the census. 25 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: And you know, the more population you have in a state, 26 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: the more congression, the more congress people you get, and 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: the more electoral votes you get, which is why Newsom 28 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: and the legislature wants more illegal aliens. It can potentially 29 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: increase their power, give them more congressmen and women and 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: give them more electoral votes. And right now California, even 31 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: with all the illegal immigration, the population is shrinking. The 32 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: number of congress people is going to shrink after twenty thirty, 33 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: the number of electoral votes will shrink as well. So 34 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: I'll get all into that after one point thirty. Here 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: on KF five. Now there's a there's a really entertaining 36 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: aftermath to the raid yesterday. The Border Patrol agents who 37 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: were hiding in a in a rented penske van and 38 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 2: they rolled up to the home depot in Wesley. Now 39 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: this is the same home depot they already did a 40 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 2: raid on and so they rolled up and you know, 41 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: from the outside you couldn't tell what it is. No 42 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: activists were warned in advance, no rapid response network was activated, 43 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 2: and you just had workers because the driver motioned some 44 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: of the workers over as if to say, hey, you know, 45 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: I need some bodies here, I need some strong men. 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: So so the the immigrants gathered around the truck and 47 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: suddenly the back of the truck rolled up and out 48 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: jumped all these masked immigrant agents ICE agents, and they 49 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 2: ended up arresting and taking away sixteen sixteen. 50 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: The legal immigrants. And you know, there was a. 51 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 2: There was a judicial ruling District court federal judge said, well, 52 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: you know, you can't round up people without reasonable suspicion, 53 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: and reasonable suspicion is not the language they speak, and 54 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 2: it's not their skin color, it's not their ethnicity, it's 55 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: not if they hang out at a particular place like 56 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: home depot or a car wash. In other words, all 57 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 2: the factors that might tip off agents that they have 58 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: possible deportation prospects can't be used, even though it's the 59 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: immigrants that are here illegally, right, Okay, So you know, 60 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 2: in this upside down, inside out world, it is law 61 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: enforcement that is doing the wrong thing, not the illegal alments. 62 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: So every everybody, all the all the activists after this 63 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: Penske truck trick are are are speaking out their varying 64 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: and I was thinking, it's like, all right, is Trump 65 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,559 Speaker 2: just flat out going to ignore the judge's order, which 66 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: you know he has before, or are they going to 67 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: come up with like some novel legal interpretation. 68 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: And so I wondered, is it all right? 69 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: Is the argument they're going to be, Well, we didn't 70 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: round anybody up. They ran to us, They ran to 71 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 2: the to the to the back of the truck. We 72 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 2: rolled up the door and jumped out and grabbed them. 73 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: But it was a trick. Yeah, But is it is 74 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 2: that wrong? You know, they set a trap and these 75 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: immigrants fell into the trap, but they weren't. 76 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they were rounded up. 77 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: I'm just saying that's you know, I see what you're saying. 78 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: You know how technical these arguments. And it's like, hey, 79 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: if a bunch of illegal immigrants like run around our truck, 80 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 2: our job is to pick them up. I mean, they 81 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: came to us, might not fly. But what's funny is 82 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 2: how aggravated and I don't think whether it flies or not, 83 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: the Trump administration cares. I think they're just going to 84 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: keep barreling on here until maybe somebody in ICE is 85 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 2: actually thrown in jail. Maybe they may take the hit 86 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 2: on that too. They may allow some of their ICE 87 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 2: bureaucrats to sit in jail while they continue rolling through 88 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: and doing roundups. Here is a quote from Jorge Mario Cabrera. 89 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: Now he is a spokes hoole for the Los Angeles 90 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: Rapid Response Network, described in the San Francisco Chronicle as 91 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: a community group that supports immigrants. Actually, they were one 92 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 2: of the groups that were inciting and facilitating the riots. 93 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: That's the truth. And this is the group that TURLA 94 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: has created. And TURLA is an illegal alien activist group. 95 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: This is the group that took has taken thirty four 96 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 2: million dollars of our tax money. Thirty four million dollars. 97 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: It's true. I've seen the actual paperwork. Carl DeMaio put 98 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: it online and he said the federal agents targeted the 99 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 2: home depot. Cabrera said, a man in plaine clothes told 100 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: the day laborers he was looking to hire them, and 101 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: that's when they went to the van and the border 102 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: patrol agents jumped out. He says, having armed federal agents 103 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: jumping out of a Penske truck is something you don't 104 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 2: see every day. It's right out of a horror movie. Now, 105 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: I've never seen that in horror movie. I don't think 106 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 2: nothing law enforcement agents jumping out of a truck is 107 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 2: out of a horror movie. That's what you see in 108 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 2: a crime movie when law enforcement is trying to get 109 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,679 Speaker 2: the people breaking the law. But it's not a horror movie. 110 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: And how much telegraphing of this has there been. We 111 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: had Trump running for well, Trump has been either running 112 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: for president or been president for my god, it's ten 113 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: and a half years now, and he I think he's 114 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: spoken extensively on the immigration matter. 115 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a big surprise. That was his 116 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: one of two. 117 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: Main things he ran on, and then he became president 118 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: a day one the border was shut down. They just 119 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: passed that huge funding bill. ICE is now going to 120 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 2: get thirteen times the amount of money that they got 121 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: last year, thirteen times as much, like one hundred and 122 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 2: thirty billion dollars. So you know, in the first place 123 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: they went to here in LA that caused a splash 124 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: was the same home depot. Now, if you're still dumb 125 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: enough to stand in front of a home depot looking 126 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: for work when you're here illegally, and you just randomly 127 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: run up to a truck and you don't know what's 128 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: inside that truck, and you don't know who the driver is, 129 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: you end up getting arrested and deported. I think that's 130 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 2: on you. How much warning do you need? We've had 131 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 2: over ten years. That was the first place ICE hit 132 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: was that same home depot in Westlake near MacArthur Park. 133 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: I mean that's where they had the huge, the huge 134 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 2: display of force. Remember all the ICE agents used that 135 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 2: as a staging area some weeks ago. That's when Karen 136 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: Bass started screaming at the agents. 137 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: That day. 138 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,719 Speaker 2: They didn't even deport anybody, They didn't capture anybody that day. 139 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: They were just showing off. 140 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: So you've been warned, Like, if there is a guy 141 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 2: still looking for work at the home depot in Westlake, 142 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: how much sympathy you're going to have them for the guy? 143 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 2: Get the message you can't do this anymore. You know, 144 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter how many SOB 145 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: stories the LA Times and the Chronicle runs, maybe years ago, 146 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: you had administrations that worried about press coverage. Have you 147 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 2: noticed the Trump crowd doesn't care about the press coverage. 148 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 2: In fact, they think it's funny and they immediately start 149 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 2: posting snarky responses on social media. So the Times the 150 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: Chronicle is having no effect at all. Nothing's going to stop, 151 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: not but one hundred and thirty five billion dollars. The 152 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: other funny thing, Oh here's Carl Schusterman, an immigration attorney 153 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: based in LA says, it's hard to tell from the 154 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: videos whether authorities are violating the court order by targeting 155 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 2: people based on their race. Well, see, that's what That's 156 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: what I'm wondering. It's like if you just roll a 157 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: truck up and say I'm looking for workers, and all 158 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 2: these guys run to you. I mean, are there are? 159 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 2: There are many legal residents looking for day labor, and 160 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 2: Customer says he hopes the executive branch will abide with 161 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: what the judicial branch says. And if they do not, 162 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: do we still have a democracy left? Do we still 163 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 2: have a democracy? Well? Yeah, because Trump ran on shutting 164 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: down the border and deporting everybody, and he got elected. 165 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: He got more popular votes, he got way more electoral votes, 166 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 2: and so that's what he's doing. 167 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: That's the democracy. 168 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: The side that wanted illegal aliens deported and the border closed, 169 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: they won. That's the democracy. But this crowd every time, 170 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: every time something happens that violates their their political beliefs. 171 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: Oh, we don't have a democracy anymore. Oh, we're losing 172 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: our toocracy. You know, we're not. 173 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: That was voted on. Trump's crowd won. Your crowd lost, 174 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: So you have to stuff it. Got more coming up. 175 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 176 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 3: six forty. 177 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: Oh moistline is eight seven seven Moist Steady six eight 178 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: seven seven Moist st eighty six, or usually talkback feature 179 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app. We are going to talk to 180 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 2: Congressman Kevin Kylie coming up after Devers one thirty news, 181 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 2: and he has a bill to end the nonsense on 182 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 2: both sides with this sudden redistricting idea. You're supposed to 183 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 2: draw those district lines for Congress f every census, you know, 184 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty, twenty thirty, and Texas wants to do it 185 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: in the middle of the decade, and now California does too. 186 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: And Newsom's got a hair brain scheme, which we've talked 187 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 2: about over the last couple of days. Kylie wants to 188 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: stop it entirely. Speaking of the sense, Trump issued a 189 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: directive today he wants the old census thrown out and 190 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 2: replaced with a new one. Now, according to law, it's 191 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: supposed to be done every ten years, and so you 192 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 2: may be asking, can he declare a new census. Well, 193 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 2: he can have you know, his administration to another census, 194 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 2: but it still is would not be the official one, 195 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 2: the one that is lawful. Again, I don't know if 196 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: law matters anymore on either side, but you know, the 197 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 2: census leads to formulas for tax money being apportioned to 198 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 2: the states and to the districts. So he wants to 199 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: redo this because he you know, he said there was 200 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 2: a lot of fraud in the presidential election of twenty 201 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 2: twenty four and in twenty twenty and he says illegal 202 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: aliens should not be counted in the census. 203 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: Now, if you look at what the Constitution. 204 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: Says, it says, you know, it's. 205 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: That it's the state's How do I explain this? 206 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: House districts are apportioned according to the state's respective numbers. 207 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: All right, Just numbers. 208 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 2: It doesn't differentiate in the constitution whether it's legal citizens, 209 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: illegal citizens, or anybody in between. So Trump wants to 210 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: arbitrarily say no illegal aliens counted. Now, if they had 211 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 2: done that in the twenty twenty census, California, Florida, Texas 212 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: would have each lost a congressional seat. Alabama, Minnesota, and 213 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 2: Ohio would have gotten an extra seat that they otherwise 214 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: would have lost or retained a seat they would have lost. 215 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: And you know, there's a good argument that why are 216 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: we divvying up federal tax money based on how many 217 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: illegal aliens some of these rogue states pack into their populations. 218 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: I mean, California declares itself a sanctuary state. It's offering 219 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: free health care from birth to death, so they get 220 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: all these extra bodies. We have several million illegal aliens 221 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: in the state, and so that's probably millions and millions 222 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 2: of dollars a federal tax money that gets, well, that's 223 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: five is in any other state, I'd say. 224 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: Well, that's not fair, that's wrong. 225 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 2: It's wrong to bulk up your numbers with non citizens 226 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: illegal non citizens. Of course, you know, it's nearly impossible 227 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: to change something in the constitution, So Trump just likes 228 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 2: to make these declarations. He did this in twenty twenty, 229 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: and then Biden reversed it. But nobody knows for sure 230 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 2: how this would work. The thing Trump is doing is 231 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 2: he's pulling on levers and he's making declarations that have 232 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 2: never been done before, never been tested in court. And 233 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 2: because a lot of the laws, especially laws written back 234 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds, use a lot of vague, 235 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 2: archaic language, you could make more than one interpretation of 236 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: what it's saying. They started the census in seventeen ninety 237 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: and the count has always reflected the total population, including 238 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: non citizens legal aliens, and so nobody knows for sure 239 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: whether you can exclude the illegal aliens without the approval 240 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 2: of Congress. Article one, Section two of the Constitution empowers 241 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: the Congress to determine when and how the censuses are conducted. 242 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: Trump has argued that the executive branch has the discretionary 243 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: power to determine who qualifies as a US resident for 244 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: apportionment purposes, and he pulled that maneuver in twenty There 245 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: were lawsuits, and then Joe Biden reversed it. I guess 246 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: before it could come to a Supreme Court decision. But 247 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: because the House is so tight, I think the Republicans 248 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: have a six vote margin, which means it's three people 249 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 2: three people either switch side, three people switch sides. The 250 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: Republican advantage disappears. Trump is it's trying to try to 251 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: pull every trick possible. That's why Newsom is doing his 252 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: nonsense as well. All right, when we come back speaking 253 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: of that, speaking of Newsom's nonsense, Kevin Kyleie is he 254 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: could be redistricted out of a job if Gavin Newsom 255 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: gets his way. Newsom wants to violate the Constitution in 256 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: his own special way. It's funny how Newsom is acting 257 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 2: more and more like Trump this time goes on. He's 258 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: just decided, well, I don't like this constitutional amendment that 259 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: says there's an independent redistricting commission, So let's overturn the commission. 260 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: Let's get a new constitutional amendment on the ballot to 261 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: get rid of the old constitutional amendment. And we're going 262 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: to vote on it real soon. And he's only got 263 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 2: a few days to pull this off. Kevin Kylie has 264 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 2: a federal bill that would stop the nonsense on Newsom 265 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: side and on the Texas side, as well, we'll have 266 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: Kevin Kylie on the Northern California Republican. 267 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 3: Next, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI 268 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 3: A six forty. 269 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: We're on every day. 270 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 2: You should know this by the app between one and 271 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 2: four o'clock and after four o'clock. Whatever you miss, you 272 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: pick up on the podcast John Cobelt's show on demand 273 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: and that's on the iHeart app as well. All right, 274 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: so this week story blew up at of nowhere in Texas, 275 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: Governor Greg Abbott in the Republican Legislature decided that we're 276 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 2: going to redraw the congressional districts to add well to 277 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: flip five districts from Democrat to Republican potentially in the 278 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: next election cycle. And the Democrats decided to flee, denying 279 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 2: the legislature at quorum, and they went off to Chicago 280 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: and beyond, and that still has it resolved itself. Meantime, 281 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: in California, Gavin Newsom sprung to life because all he 282 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: cares about is his presidential run. And he thought, well, 283 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 2: if I look tough and I come up with some 284 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 2: redistricting plan, then I'll be the leader of the Democratic 285 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 2: Party and all will worship me, and he has to 286 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 2: rush that through because it's a constitucial amendment. I've explained 287 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 2: this a few times, but you've got to do that 288 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 2: in about five days time, towards the end of the month. 289 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 2: Let's get Kevin Kyleion. He's the Republican congressman from northern 290 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: California who I believe his district might end up being 291 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 2: relocated if Newsom gets his way. 292 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: Kevin, how are you. 293 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 4: I'm doing well. How are you, John? 294 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm all right. 295 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: If news gets his way, we're lucky he wants to 296 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: get I saw one estimate, maybe forty nine Democrats three 297 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 2: Republican congress people in the state. 298 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. Does that seem like a fair ratio to you? 299 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 4: Forty nine to three? 300 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, especially since forty percent voted for Republican congressional candidates 301 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: in the last round. So yeah, that sounds real fair. 302 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: So what you want? You want to stop all this 303 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 2: nonsense on both sides? 304 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 4: I do. I mean, clearly, I care of the most 305 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 4: about our state of California, which is under attack from 306 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom as a one of the most corrupt schemes 307 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 4: that we've ever seen in our state, props, our country's 308 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 4: political history where he's trying to overthrow our citizen Redistricting commission, 309 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 4: override the will of voters, and seize the power to 310 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 4: draw district lines for himself into supermajority. So they going 311 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 4: to pose a hyperpartisan map to give us the forty 312 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 4: nine to three split that you just referred to. So 313 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 4: I think that this absolutely needs to be stopped. We 314 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 4: needed everything we can to make sure that it doesn't happen, 315 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 4: and I frankly think that we shouldn't be going through 316 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 4: this exercise really anywhere in the country except when it's 317 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 4: supposed to happen right after the census every ten years. 318 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 4: So my bill will stop Newsom's plan, and it will 319 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 4: also mean that we don't do this sort of mid 320 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 4: cycle redistricting anywhere else in the country. 321 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: Can the federal government. 322 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: Draw up the rules for elections in a specific state, No. 323 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 4: I don't think that would that would fly. I mean, 324 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 4: we have the power to regulate the times and manner 325 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 4: of federal elections, but generally, I mean, I guess there's 326 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 4: some exception with the Voting Rights Act based upon the 327 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 4: history of individuals, So generally. 328 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: Were how's your going to build how's your bill going 329 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: to accom complish it. 330 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 3: Then. 331 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 4: Oh, so it's just saying that, you know, it's exercising 332 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 4: our authority under the Elections Clause, and so it would 333 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 4: apply to all fifty states. That's all I'm saying is 334 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 4: you couldn't hone in on one specific state. 335 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 2: Oh, I see, so you could just set the standards 336 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 2: for all fifty And I guess that's because these are 337 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 2: federal congress people that are getting elected here exactly. 338 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 4: So we couldn't say it for like, you know, state 339 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 4: legislative districts, we don't have jurisdiction over that. But for 340 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 4: federal elections, elections to the House of Representatives, we have 341 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 4: pretty broad authority to regulate the time, place, and manner 342 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 4: of elections under the Elections Clause and Article one of Constitution. 343 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 2: How much interest are you going to get from other congressmen, 344 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: because it seems like there's a lot of hyper partisan 345 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: people now on both sides and everybody wants to stick 346 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 2: it to the other side. 347 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 4: You know, we've actually gotten quite a bit of interest 348 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 4: already just from a couple of day introduces on both 349 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 4: sides of the aisle. Because you know, jerrymandering is one thing, 350 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 4: it's a problem. But to simply uphend ettrict lines, to 351 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 4: shuffle or move these lines around on a map in 352 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: an unscheduled lay for a decade, it's extremely disruptive for 353 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 4: people in representing their districts. Suddenly there's communities that you've 354 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 4: represented for a while, you've gotten to know the people, 355 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 4: you've gotten to know the issues, and then just out 356 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 4: of the blue, those communities that are tossed into someone 357 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 4: else's district, and for the voters, they suddenly have someone 358 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 4: new that they've never heard of. So, you know, we 359 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 4: go through the process of redistricting every ten years after 360 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 4: the census because of population changes, and you have to 361 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 4: recalibrate the size of each district. But to kind of 362 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 4: just do it right now, like Gavin Newsom is trying 363 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 4: to do, it's because he wants to grab more seats 364 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 4: for his party. Is it's a very bad thing, a 365 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 4: very unhealthy thing for representative government. 366 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 2: He wants to annihilate Republican influence in this state entirely. 367 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 4: He does, and by the way, he's doing it at 368 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 4: a time when Republicans are really ascendant in California. We've 369 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 4: seen our share of registered voters grow for straight cycles 370 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 4: we just passed Prop. Thirty six over Newsome's strident opposition 371 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 4: down there in LA with you guys, you got rid 372 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 4: of Gascone and other rogue district attorneys throughout the state. 373 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 4: And so there's been a lot of electoral sets sets 374 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 4: showing that kind of the winds of political change our 375 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 4: gathering steam in California. So yeah, I think that's probably 376 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 4: part of the governor's motivation. I mean, obviously his primary 377 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 4: motivation is to put itself on the spotlight and try 378 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 4: to fuel his residential delusions. But you know, we also 379 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 4: perhaps trying to, you know, try to stop the Republican 380 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 4: cause from gaining more momentum in California, making our state 381 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 4: more balanced. 382 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: Look, I think objectively he's doing an atrocious job as governor. 383 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: I just objectively objectively, Yeah, But I honestly, I can't 384 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 2: see how his act plays east of Berkeley. I just 385 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: I just don't understand where he would be appealing once 386 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,159 Speaker 2: you get out of the northern California Bay area bubble. 387 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 4: Hell. Yeah, I agree, and I think that's why, Like 388 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 4: from the very moment he became governor, he has gone 389 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 4: from one stunt to another, and in an attempt to 390 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 4: try to get himself some sort of issues, some sort 391 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 4: of following, and so you know, that's exactly what this is. 392 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 4: He is pandering to the sort of you know, the 393 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 4: sort of people who are influential and in Democratic presidential primaries, 394 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 4: and he's doing so in a way that violates the 395 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 4: democratic norms, that overrides our own voters, and that is 396 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 4: going to have very negative consequences for our state for 397 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 4: a long time to come if he's successful. 398 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 2: Well, Kevin, thank you for coming on with us, and 399 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 2: thank you for trying to do something to stop this 400 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 2: this insanity. He's going to have a tough road to 401 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 2: pull this off. I think he's got five days when 402 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 2: the new legislative lative session starts to try to get 403 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 2: this thing written and voted on and approved for the ballot. 404 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 2: So we'll find out in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Kevin. 405 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,239 Speaker 4: Got absolutely all right. 406 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: We got more coming up. 407 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am sixty. 408 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: John Cobelt Show Moistline eight seven seven Moisteady six for 409 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 2: Friday eight seven seven moist Steady six, or use the 410 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 2: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app Wait a second, Today's Thursday. 411 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: Correct.

She's the woman who didn't fill 424 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 2: the reservoir in Pacific Palisades and now they have. They 425 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 2: have a big water issue in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch. 426 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: Ninety two hundred customers without water service because the DAPE 427 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,639 Speaker 2: workers were supposed to fix something. Instead they busted something. 428 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 2: And there's ninety two hundred people and no water service 429 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 2: at all. And what they have to fix is twenty 430 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: feet underground and the people are screwed at least through 431 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 2: the weekend. But Janie Kinonia, speaking publicly hadn't heard her 432 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 2: voice in months. She's been in hiding. I think they've 433 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 2: been holding her twenty feet below the ground. Now, just 434 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 2: to follow up on having Kevin Kylie on a few 435 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: minutes ago, Republican Congressman. He's trying to get a bill 436 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:10,879 Speaker 2: passed by Congress to stop all this redistricting that's going on. 437 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 2: Texas wants to do it. And now Newsom has got 438 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 2: this plan. Listen to this bag of wind. Five days 439 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 2: the legislature has to make this work. They are not 440 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 2: returning to Sacramento till August eighteenth. They have to declare 441 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: a special election by August twenty second, So they have 442 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: five days to draw the new congressional maps, to write 443 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 2: the ballot initiative, and then to write the law. 444 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: And it's a two thirds vote. 445 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 2: Now, normally they'd never get a two thirds vote passed 446 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 2: for something like this, But remember Republicans have virtually no 447 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 2: power in the legislature because they have the Democrats had 448 00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 2: like seventy percent of the seats, and so the Republicans 449 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: have no vita on anything. For example, normally you can't 450 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 2: pass taxes unless you have a two thirds majority, and 451 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 2: that's why for years the legislature couldn't pass a tax 452 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 2: and to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot, you 453 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 2: need a two thirds majority. But the Democrats have all 454 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 2: these two thirds majorities, both in the Senate and in 455 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: the Assembly. And so they are going to whip everyone 456 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: up emotionally about Trump. And listen to this that you 457 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 2: know they're going to botch this up right five days 458 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 2: So CACRA Channel three Ashley Zavalla, of course, the only 459 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 2: reporter in the state of California who covers the California government. 460 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: Ashley Zavala asked him about the tight timeline and listen 461 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: to this new some nonsense. The ultimate test of train 462 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: is what's in the voting pamphlet. The ultimate test of 463 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 2: transparency is what voters will decide on full light of day, 464 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 2: completely public. They'll have the opportunity to review those maps. 465 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 2: They'll have ample opportunity to do just that, and it 466 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: will be in their ballot box and they'll make that determination. 467 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 2: He knows nobody's going to review congressional districting maps. He 468 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: knows that all he's going to do is whip up 469 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 2: crazy emotions about Trump. He's deceitful, he's such a manipulator. Oh, 470 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 2: my god. Yes, the public is going to read the maps. 471 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: Legislators themselves aren't going to read the maps. Also, Ashley 472 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 2: Zavalla was asking the head of the Assembly in the 473 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 2: state Senate whether they're gonna come back from Sacramento early 474 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 2: in order to do this right, But they'd have to 475 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: cut their summer vacation short. They can't do this in 476 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 2: five days. I mean, I'm sure they've got staff members 477 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 2: working on it, but it's not gonna be aired out. 478 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 1: And it's not gonna be covered. 479 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 2: See, they know that nobody in the media is gonna 480 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 2: cover this, Nobody in the media is gonna explain this. 481 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 2: And then somehow magically, in twenty twenty six, we're gonna 482 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 2: wake up with forty nine Democrats in Congress from California, 483 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 2: three Republicans, and everybody's gonna. 484 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: Go, well, how did this happen? 485 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 2: Well, this happened because they're gonna do it in a 486 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 2: very short amount of time in the middle of August, 487 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 2: when a lot of people are on vacation.
