1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 2: I am six.

3
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio apps.

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 3: It's the John Cobelt Show. Lou Penrose sitting here for

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 3: John Cobelt. Good to be with you. Flight delays across

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 3: America as air traffic controllers are feeling the pressure and

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 3: calling out, which is resulting in fewer air traffic controllers,

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: which is resulting in forty major airports in America experiencing delays.

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 3: Four percent reduction in flights and this is just step one,

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: so more next week. Los Angeles International Airport on the

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: list of flights of airports have affected. Michael Monks in

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 3: the KFI newsroom, Thanks so much for spending time with us.

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 4: What are you hearing from LX.

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 5: Well, it's not just LAX, it's also Ontario, it's also

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 5: San Diego. And that four percent has apparently meant some

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 5: pretty big headaches for folks traveling into and out of

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 5: LAX today. You know, yesterday when federal officials came out

18
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 5: and said we're going to reduce the flight capacity at

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 5: major airports across the country, they said ten percent. So

20
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 5: I guess it was a bit of a blessing that

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 5: that has been reduced to four percent today, but it

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 5: is expected to hit ten percent capacity reduction by next Friday,

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 5: starting with a six percent reduction on Tuesday, then an

24
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 5: eight percent reduction next Thursday, hitting that ten percent by

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 5: next Friday. So it's probably only going to get worse.

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 5: And it sounds like it's already pretty rough out there,

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 5: certainly rougher than an average day. Our colleague Melissa Aiden

28
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 5: from ABC News is at lax and reported this earlier.

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 6: How do you get your flight back home to your destination?

30
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 7: Right?

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 6: So, if you're heading out to travel and this is

32
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 6: just the first leg of your travel, that is some

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 6: of the anxiety already that so many travelers and passengers

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 6: tell me that they're worried about. Here At United, they

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 6: have told us they were successfully able to rebook people

36
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 6: and passengers within four hours of their next available flight,

37
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 6: so United saying they were able to move on other

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 6: airlines as well, American Delta also sharing that they were

39
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 6: able to do so. But look, passengers tell me they're nervous.

40
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 5: So passengers are nervous a little bit. I mean they

41
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 5: don't know what's going on. The airport officials across the

42
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 5: country are saying please take a look at your flight

43
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 5: schedule and checking with your airline before coming to the

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 5: airport at all, because if you get to the airport,

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 5: you go through the hassle of security and all of that,

46
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 5: and then find out that there's a delay or a cancelation,

47
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 5: then you're kind of just stuck there for a while.

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: So like the four hour delay, from the airline's port

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 3: of view, it sounds like it's all right, we can

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: get you on your plane, get you to your city.

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: Just be a short four hour delay. Four hours is

52
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: a lot if you're traveling right. First off, it's eighteen

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: dollars a chardonay exactly, and you're stuck at LAX, which

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: is not always I mean, it's just such a vast

55
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: city Los Angeles Airport is.

56
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 5: I mean, there are some airports that are probably fun

57
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 5: to hang out in, and there are others that are

58
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 5: less comfortable than others. So far today at Los Angeles

59
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 5: International Airport, according to flight aware dot com, there have

60
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 5: been a total of one hundred and sixty six delays

61
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 5: and fifty four total cancelations. In Ontario twenty five delays

62
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 5: and eight cancelations, and in San Diego more than one

63
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 5: hundred delays one hundred two and twenty seven total cancelations,

64
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 5: and that includes flights that are departing from these airports

65
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 5: and flights that are coming into that airport, So just

66
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: a rough time to fly here. It is a Friday

67
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 5: where you would expect folks to be getting away for

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 5: the weekend.

69
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 4: And Tuesdays on holiday and Tuesday Mondays.

70
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 5: Exactly could be a long weekend for some folks. And

71
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 5: the holidays are approaching. And I know there's been some

72
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: movement in Congress today to maybe start talking about talking

73
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 5: again about reaching some sort of compromise to reopen this government.

74
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 4: But what we're.

75
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: Seeing is the two biggest issues to come out of

76
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 5: this government shutdown has been this situation and then the

77
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 5: Snap benefits. And it looks like we've got some movement

78
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 5: on the Snap front today with funds being dispersed at

79
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 5: least in California and a few other states, while there's

80
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 5: a legal battle so ongoing. But people are really starting

81
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 5: to feel this very long government shutdown.

82
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean part of this is by design, right.

83
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 3: The whole purpose of a shutdown is to have people

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: be impacted, so they get angry, so they call their

85
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 3: senator and that's.

86
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 4: Democracy, right, vox popular. But I don't know.

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 3: The air traffic controller thing, it's too much like flying

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: is already a hassle.

89
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: They already have this.

90
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: Thing where like, oh, the airplane staff timed out, so

91
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: we had to go to another plane. Like there's already

92
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: connection problems, and now you add a four percent decrease,

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: which it's amazing, right, four percent, But look at this

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 3: impact exactly.

95
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 5: I mean, this is bigger than a normal day, that's

96
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 5: for sure. I mean, you always risk a cancelation or

97
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 5: a delay, it's just the nature of the business. But

98
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 5: this many this is this is a typical. And the

99
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 5: situation is we're talking about passengers feeling it, or we're

100
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 5: talking about food stant recipients feeling it. These air traffic

101
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 5: controllers or these TSA agents, they felt it much earlier.

102
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 5: They've been working without getting paid for the hours that

103
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 5: they're putting in. And that's what is causing this is

104
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 5: there are air traffic controllers who have other issues in

105
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 5: their lives that they need to tend to rather than

106
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: to continue coming in working these long shifts without getting

107
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 5: their money for it. So it's just a very difficult

108
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 5: situation for those workers and it has now become a

109
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 5: very difficult situation for the everyday traveler.

110
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: Okay, if it's Michael Monks, thanks so much. I appreciate you.

111
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 4: You got it all right, we'll talk again. It's just incredible.

112
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: It's absolutely incredible when you consider that those are these numbers,

113
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: forty major airports, four percent a decrease in travel, and

114
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 3: it's going to ramp up to six and then eight

115
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: and then eventually ten by next weekend.

116
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 4: And if the lines are as long as they are today,

117
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: or the.

118
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: Impact is as big on Tuesday as it is today,

119
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: imagine by next weekend what.

120
00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 4: It's going to be.

121
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 3: People have all kinds of plans and travel, and plus

122
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: you get car rentals, and now cars are not being

123
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: returned because people keeping the car for two more days.

124
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: It's just a it's an absolute mess, absolute mess. Loup

Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

128
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 8: six forty.

129
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 4: Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on The John Cobelt Show.

130
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: Flight delays forty major airports including LA four percent of

131
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 3: all activity, which is the starting point. According to the

132
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: Secretary of Transportation, We'll go up to ten percent by

133
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: next week, and people are not happy.

134
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 9: Would you tell me, out of those light cancelations and

135
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 9: flight delays if any of those are international flights or

136
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 9: are they all domestic flights?

137
00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 4: What am I? Two to one one?

138
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 3: Oh, They're only domestic flights. But I appreciate the call.

139
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: Oh man, a bad day at LA.

140
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: Hey, Luke, Yeah, this government shutdown, the Republican shutdown.

141
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: We're all calling it. It's exactly what Trump wanted. He

142
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: asked for it, he got it, and he could deal

143
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: with it.

144
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: While he is dealing with it, they're scaling down the

145
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 3: flights to give air traffic controllers a little bit of space.

146
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 2: I'm so happy that asked is hitting the fan for everyone,

147
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 2: because after things start affecting you is when it really

148
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 2: starts mattering to you. I don't care if it's Republican

149
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: or if it's Democrat. We as a society, I hope

150
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: it gets worse.

151
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: Have a nice day, mister Joy.

152
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 10: You gotta do what I do and just put private Yeah,

153
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 10: you know it's going to be five ten thousand dollars

154
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 10: to fly from here to San Francisco or something like that.

155
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 10: But time is priceless and it's worth every penny. Plus.

156
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 10: If you've ever flown private before, it's the only way

157
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 10: to fly, have a good one.

158
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 4: I appreciate the call.

159
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: I have to imagine that even private flights can feel

160
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 3: the stress.

161
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 4: Well maybe not.

162
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: Maybe they don't have to do with anything in the

163
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 3: terminal and they don't have to deal with the towers.

164
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't know anybody that flies private.

165
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: But I was told the prices were going to come

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: down by now, Like it wasn't five thousand dollars. It

167
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: was supposed to be like eight hundred dollars to fly

168
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,559
Speaker 3: private to San Francisco, like a couple of one hundred

169
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 3: dollars more than a first Classic. So those prices haven't

170
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: come down, but I appreciate the call. We'll see where

171
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 3: this goes. The Senate is in session. I'm looking at

172
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 3: it now on c SPAN, so they are there and

173
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: usually they're not there on a Friday.

174
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 4: Senators are interesting animals.

175
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 3: They are supposed to be the reasonable crowd, like the

176
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 3: House of Representatives is supposed to be hot. They all

177
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 3: go in hot and that's my design. The House of

178
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: Representatives are re elected every two years. They have to

179
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: face the voters all the time. They are always up

180
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: for reelection every two years. There are four hundred and

181
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 3: thirty five members of the House of Representatives, and they,

182
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: I mean, they're always checking the temperature of their constituents

183
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: and their districts. And now with Prop fifty here in California,

184
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: the ones running have all new people to meet and

185
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 3: to get to know and to in the case of Republicans,

186
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: convince independence and like minded Democrats in their brand new

187
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: district to like them, or to at least check the

188
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: temperature of what they are are thinking. So I'm actually

189
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 3: happy that the House is not involved in this discussion.

190
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 3: The Senate is just the opposite. The Senate is reelected

191
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: every six years, so they never have to deal with

192
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 3: voters like six years is forever. And it's a statewide office,

193
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: so they never have to worry about congressional districts, reapportionment

194
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: district lines.

195
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 4: Cheating like Prop fifty.

196
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: They don't have to worry about any of that because

197
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: they're elected statewide. And it's often been said that it

198
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: is the Senate. The Senate is the saucer that cools

199
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: the cup of tea. Right, the Senate is supposed to

200
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 3: be level headed, They're supposed to be calmed, there's decorum there.

201
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 3: These are the stately bunch. These are it's the House

202
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 3: of Lords, and they're supposed.

203
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 4: To be the very reasonable bunch. So maybe that will

204
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 4: happen tonight. But usually they're out of there on Thursday.

205
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: The Senate rarely works, and to see them there on

206
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: a Friday night means that I have to imagine that

207
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 3: they themselves want to get this over with, just because

208
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're feeling pressure from their governors. Really, you

209
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: can't get a pulse on a state like how could

210
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 3: a senator possibly know what a majority of the constituents

211
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 3: feel on a complete issue, even like the senator from

212
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 3: Rhode Island, how could he possibly know, let alone the

213
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 3: senator from California or Texas.

214
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 4: Or New York or Illinois.

215
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: So they go on polling numbers, they go on what

216
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: leadership wants to do, and they go on what's good

217
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 3: for Democrats strategy or Republican strategy. And it's been clear

218
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 3: that this shutdown has been working for Republican senators. There's

219
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 3: one hundred senators, they're fifty three Republicans, and they were

220
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: able to peel off a Democrat Senator, John Fetterman from Pennsylvania,

221
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: and one independent senator, so they got the number up

222
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: to fifty five. So in politics, it matters not what

223
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 3: the numbers are, it matters the direction the numbers are going.

224
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 3: So Democrats were seeing the numbers go up closer and

225
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: closer to sixty. There's another independent, so that independent might

226
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: bring them to fifty six. Now you have four, and

227
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: Democrats started to see that, and I think they were

228
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: beginning to think about the narrative that they wanted to

229
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: write in giving into a clean cr But then Tuesday

230
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: night came and Democrats had a real victory lap.

231
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: They had a great night, great.

232
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 3: Turnout Virginia, New Jersey, New York City, Prop fifty in California,

233
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 3: and some other victories in state houses in Virginia. So

234
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: it was a good night for them, and I think

235
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 3: they want to continue this victory lap of a blue wave,

236
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: so they are not necessarily inclined to end this anytime soon.

237
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: And Republicans don't want a cave.

238
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 3: So here we are at the stillmate and around the

239
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: merry go round we go, But that they are working

240
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: on a Friday night is interesting to me. We'll see

241
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 3: how long that light is on in the Senate Chamber

242
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: as I watch it here on c Spend. All right,

243
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 3: So the guy in DC that through the subway sandwich

244
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 3: at the immigration officer was acquitted yesterday. They did not

245
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: find him guilty of of a felony. Was not felony assault,

246
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: which is quite surprising. But the jury said, no, it's

247
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: not felony assault. It's somewhere between a misdemeanor and free speech.

248
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: Here he is, he's very excited. What's his name here,

249
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: Here's Sean Dunn. Used to work for the Justice Department.

250
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: He used to work for you. You used to pay

251
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: a salary. He got fired after they found him throwing

252
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 3: sandwiches at federal officers.

253
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: Now he's free to go.

254
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 11: I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of

255
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 11: everything happening, and that night I believe that I was

256
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 11: protecting the rights of immigrants with salami.

257
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 4: We also know the kind of sub.

258
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: It turned out to be a salami sub with mustard

259
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: and onions.

260
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 4: I don't know what else was on it that isn't

261
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: the standard sub.

262
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 3: So he definitely customized his sub there and lost the

263
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: entire sub. He threw the whole sub twelve inches. Well,

264
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 3: the Internet has exploded with the jokes. I mean, there's

265
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: some pretty good ones up there. I have to admit,

266
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 3: I think this guy should be in bigger trouble than

267
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: he is in. You're not supposed to throw anything at officers.

268
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 3: How that's not assault is beyond me. It would be

269
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: assault if you threw it at anybody. Can't be thrown

270
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: sandwiches at people. You can't throw anything at people. Nevertheless,

271
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: the jokes are pretty hilarious and I'll share some with you.

272
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: That's all coming up next on the John Cobelt Show.

273
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: Lou Penrose Info John Cobelt on KFI AM six forty.

274
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 8: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM

275
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 8: six forty.

276
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: Lou Penrose in for John Coblt. So, the guy that

277
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 3: threw the subway sandwich at the federal officer in DC

278
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 3: this past summer has been acquitted of felony charges.

279
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 4: He is very happy about it.

280
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,479
Speaker 3: And the Internet, of course is blowing up with jokes

281
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: about the sandwich.

282
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 4: Let me take you back. This was day after it

283
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 4: happened in d C s night.

284
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 7: Seawan Dunn accused of attacking a federal officer with a

285
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 7: foot long subway sandwich similar to this one right here,

286
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 7: and it's all caught on camera.

287
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 4: And it was all caught on camera.

288
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: Here's the exchange between the former Justice Department employee.

289
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 4: And law enforcement. You see these fascists right here.

290
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 7: You take a look at this cell phone video from

291
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 7: late Sunday night, thirty seven year old Sean Dunn shown

292
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 7: in the pink shirt and shorts allegedly yelling at federal

293
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 7: officers on Fourteenth Street in d C.

294
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: Goy, he's yelling shame. He's wearing pink and yelling shame.

295
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 3: And what's great about this is there is like a

296
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: whino nearby that is not part of the exchange. But

297
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 3: he's just doing color commentary. He's like right on, right.

298
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 7: On, allegedly yelling at federal officers on fourteenth Street in

299
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 7: d C.

300
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 3: But that's the truth that he has.

301
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 7: Moments later, video appearing to show him crossing the street,

302
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 7: screaming just inches from a US Customs and Border Protection

303
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 7: officer's face, and then appearing to hit the officer in

304
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 7: the chest with a foot long subway sandwich.

305
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: Turns out it with salami, and so they went to

306
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: court and it's all over, and Sean Dunn has been

307
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: acquitted a felony assault of an officer and is.

308
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 4: Now a hero.

309
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 12: Shawn Dunn had become something of a cult hero and

310
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 12: a symbol of the resistance to the Trump administration. Images

311
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 12: of him throwing that sandwich could be seen on T

312
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 12: shirts and buildings throughout DC.

313
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: A cult hero for throwing food at law enforcement. I

314
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 3: have said this, and I maintain Democrats do not have

315
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: a political problem. Democrats have a maturity problem. Throwing food

316
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: at cops is immature.

317
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 4: It's also quite stupid.

318
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: I mean, how he's not doing time for assault is

319
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: beyond me. I get it that it's a sandwich, but

320
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: the cop doesn't know it's a sandwich.

321
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 4: You have to put your mind. It puts your mind

322
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 4: in the you know, the.

323
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: Person that's seeing the silhouette of something being thrown at them,

324
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: you're screaming shame, You're acting like.

325
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 4: A nut, and you're losing your mind.

326
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 3: And you know, people are throwing bottles, they're throwing rocks,

327
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: they're throwing all kinds of things at ice vans and

328
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: ice agents. And something's coming at an officer. He doesn't know.

329
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: It's a foot long sandwich from subway with salami and

330
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: onions and mustard.

331
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: Like, what is the officer supposed to do? Wait until

332
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 4: he gets hit by it to find out that it

333
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 4: wasn't lethal.

334
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 3: Like, the safest thing they can do is subdue you

335
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 3: before you throw anything. What if you were gonna throw

336
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: What if your plan was, I'll throw the sub at

337
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 3: this cop as a diversion, and then I'm going to

338
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: throw this rock at this other cops head Like, cops have.

339
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 4: To protect themselves from many acts like you.

340
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 3: But it is it's incredible to me that they You

341
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: know that he's a cult hero, and if you follow

342
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: this story on social media, he is. There are people

343
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 3: that are so happy for him. They want to put

344
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 3: together go fundme pages for his legal defense. I think

345
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 3: he has a legal defense fund. Here he was after

346
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 3: outside the courthouse. He's a He said, look, this was

347
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 3: he was protecting the illegals.

348
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 11: I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of

349
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 11: everything happening. And that night, I believe that I was

350
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 11: protecting the rights of immigrants.

351
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 4: How is that?

352
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 7: So?

353
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 4: This guy is a lawyer and he worked for the

354
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 4: Justice Department.

355
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 3: How is insulting and screaming shame at law enforcement, which

356
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 3: is the arm of the law, and throwing food at them,

357
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 3: How is.

358
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 4: That fighting for their rights? Maturity? This isn't this.

359
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 3: This is a very immature person and the Democrats clearly

360
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: have a maturity problem.

361
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 12: Federal prosecutors had argued the video clearly shows done throwing

362
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 12: the sandwich. During the trial, the border patrol officer who

363
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 12: was hit by the sandwich testified that it quote exploded

364
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 12: all over his chest and that he could smell the

365
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 12: mustard and onions.

366
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 4: Oh that's no good.

367
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: Plus, you know who likes to get hit by somebody

368
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 3: in a pink outfit.

369
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: Uh, the video does look like the wrapping exploded.

370
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: I don't know that the sandwich exploded, but it was

371
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 3: a hefty throw for a guy wearing pink shorts.

372
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 4: And if you watch the video.

373
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 3: It does look like the wrapping came off and the

374
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 3: sandwich just went everywhere.

375
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 4: But they're saying now, the defense said that you.

376
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: Could see footage of the sandwich intact in its wrapper

377
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 3: on the ground, so that negate the charge that the

378
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: sandwich exploded and mustard got on the kevlar vest also

379
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 3: kevlar vest, and I guess the officer in question was

380
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 3: teased a little bit back at the station. The guys

381
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 3: gave him a hard time. They got him a bunch

382
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 3: of subway sandwich, plushy dolls, and he had stickers. So

383
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 3: that proved that the officer wasn't harmed, at least that's

384
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 3: what the jury said.

385
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 12: Then, the defense argued a picture of the sandwich on

386
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 12: the ground afterwards showed it was still in its wrapper

387
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 12: and therefore could not have exploded. And according to the defense,

388
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 12: the officer's bulletproofessed should have been more than enough to

389
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 12: protect him from a subject.

390
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 4: I would say more than enough.

391
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 12: And the defense said the border patrol officer got multiple

392
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 12: gag gifts afterwards from his coworkers, such as a plush

393
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 12: sandwich and a patch of the Subslinger that the officer

394
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 12: put on his lunch box, which the defense argued was

395
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 12: proof the agents were not really that upset or traumatized

396
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 12: by what happened.

397
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 4: Go, I'm truly not that upset or traumatized.

398
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: But the guy did throw something at a cop and

399
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 3: now he's able to walk all right.

400
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 4: So here I got the list here Assault with a

401
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 4: deli weapon.

402
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: The officer claimed assault, but the jury found it was

403
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: a meaty ocre charge. Good thing it wasn't a club sandwich.

404
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 4: We heard that one before. Not all heroes wear capers.

405
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 4: He's no longer in a pickle. He beat the rap.

406
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,679
Speaker 3: If the rapper wasn't split, you must have quit. Something

407
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: went awry with the prosecution's case. Making a meal with

408
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 3: a coke no ice, that's pretty good. Apparently you can

409
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 3: diet a ham sandwich, but you can't convict a salami

410
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 3: sub and my all time favorite. The sub didn't survive,

411
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: so the police had to tag and bag in.

412
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 4: I Am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

413
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Kobels on demand from KFIMI.

414
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: Coming up following the news nobody wants to be governor

415
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 3: of California, and the few people that want to be

416
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 3: governor of California, nobody wants them to be governor of California.

417
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: The polls came out today and their neck and neck

418
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 3: for ten percent. So the race is wide open, absolutely

419
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 3: wide open, and frankly, politically speaking, it's astonishing that there

420
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 3: is no heir apparent, at least on the Democrat side.

421
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 3: Lieutenant governor usually is the person that is likely to

422
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: have the upper hand, and she was a she's quite

423
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,479
Speaker 3: the unremarkable lieutenant governor. She has an unpronounceable name, and

424
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 3: she opened up an account to run for governor and

425
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: then she just said no and.

426
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 4: Gave no reason, just bout out. Kamala Harris said no,

427
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 4: she doesn't want it.

428
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: And last week you heard that Senator Alex Padilla, he

429
00:22:59,160 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 3: was out.

430
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 4: That was my prediction. I thought Padia is going to.

431
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: Come back and take this job because it's a much

432
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 3: better job than being in the minority in the Senate.

433
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: And he announced last week or Tuesday night that he

434
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: wasn't going to be governor.

435
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 4: So it's completely wide open.

436
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 3: Katie Porter fell apart Tony Atkins, the former Senate leader

437
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 3: and former Speaker of the Assembly. She had an open lane.

438
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 3: She just said no, I don't I'm closing my account,

439
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 3: not gonna be gon. So it's just completely wide open

440
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 3: and we'll talk about it coming up following the news

441
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 3: at three o'clock right now, the subway guy, the guy

442
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 3: that threw the subway sandwich at the ice officer, has

443
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 3: been acquitted.

444
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: As Sean Dunn was made a cult hero by the

445
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: US attorney over charging him.

446
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 4: It's plain and simple. When you overcharge, it's easy for

447
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 4: the defendant to be acquitted. Well, what should be the charge?

448
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no nice things that you're allowed to

449
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:05,239
Speaker 3: throw at officers, So anytime you throw something at an

450
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: officer with the intent to hurt them, it's assault.

451
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 4: It's assault on an officer.

452
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 3: That it's comical because it's a subway sandwich doesn't lessen

453
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 3: to me your intent to be rude.

454
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: And what if he was like, you know, look, there's.

455
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: No way around this. This is the problem that Democrats have.

456
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: They don't have a political problem, they have a maturity problem.

457
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: This is immature behavior. There's no way around that. What

458
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 3: is interesting to me, I'll tell you what they interviewed

459
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 3: some they do men on the street interviews outside the subway.

460
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: Fox News and DC went down there and they talked

461
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: to people coming out of the subway at the same

462
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 3: subway shop, and they interviewed three different people.

463
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 4: They were all women.

464
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 3: And the only distinction between these women other than they

465
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 3: all wanted a subway was one was of color, one

466
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: was clearly black, and one was a white woman.

467
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 4: And I find this fascinating.

468
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 3: Listen to the reaction to the acquittal and the story

469
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: from this first subway customer in DC.

470
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 11: It's disrespectful for the police officers.

471
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 2: And you don't like that.

472
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 4: No, I don't like that at all.

473
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 3: Okay, woman of color disrespectful, doesn't like it at all.

474
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: Here's a subway sandwich lady number two. I'm just disgusted

475
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 4: because he's an officer.

476
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: See black woman sticking up for the officer. She's disgusted

477
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: by the story. She doesn't find him a hero. She's

478
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: not part of the cult. Following, so you have the women.

479
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 3: Two of the three women, they're disgusted. They are they are, well,

480
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 3: what did She's the first one. She was upsessed.

481
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 4: It's disrespectful. She found it disrespectful, right like normal people.

482
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 3: That is the normal reaction, whether or you support the

483
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 3: Interior enforcement of immigration law or not. It is immature,

484
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: it's disrespectful. Black lady says, it's disgusting.

485
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 4: Then let's go find a liberal white woman. Gotta be

486
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 4: a liberal white woman. What's the liberal white woman's reaction.

487
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 13: He didn't get hurt.

488
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 14: There's no reason to get a felony because so what he's.

489
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 13: Wearing a uniform. He's supposed to be a hero protector.

490
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 13: If he got a subway thrown at him, oh well.

491
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 14: Like he should just you know, say don't do that,

492
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 14: or just get an apology.

493
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: Isn't that fascinating?

494
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: Like the women, the first two women, they are disgusted

495
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 3: by it. They find it very insulting, like they literally

496
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 3: are sticking up with the cops and they are of color.

497
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 3: And we're told by liberal white women that Ice is

498
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 3: going after people just because of the color of their skin.

499
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 3: And you have the white girl and she said, ah,

500
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 3: you know, it's a big deal throwing things at officers.

501
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: He should just say stop. It shouldn't be a fella.

502
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 3: This is hurt.

503
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 4: It's just incredible to me.

504
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 14: He didn't get hurt.

505
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: He didn't get hurt, all right, So that's obviously the

506
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: follow up question. Had it been a brick or a

507
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 3: bottle and he'd been cut or impacted, his vision.

508
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 9: Is that?

509
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 4: Okay?

510
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 10: Is it? So?

511
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 3: The the sandwiches is what's uh, what's what's softening your heart?

512
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 4: On the on the phony, he.

513
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 14: Didn't get hurt, there's no reason to get a felony

514
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 14: because so what he's wearing a uniform.

515
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, So what he's wearing a uniform.

516
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: Remember that when somebody's throwing sandwiches at you or hurting

517
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: you or trying to assault you, you're going to be

518
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 3: looking for somebody with a uniform.

519
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 4: Unbelievable, Absolutely unbelievable.

520
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 13: So what he's wearing a uniform. He's supposed to be

521
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 13: a hero protector. If he got a subway thrown at him,

522
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 13: oh well.

523
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 14: Like he should just you know, say don't do that,

524
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 14: or just get an apology.

525
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 3: Beware, liberal white woman in America, they're bad news and

526
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: big troubles. They far far away, all right, Who's gonna

527
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: be governor of California. Democrats are very good at planning.

528
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 3: They are great at this, much better than Republicans. I've

529
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 3: seen it in politics all the time. If you have

530
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: a Democrat representing you in the state Assembly, somebody on

531
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: that person's staff, like their district director or their chief

532
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 3: of staff. They're running for a local school board race,

533
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: or they're running for the board of education, or they're

534
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: on some kind of planning commission. If a state senator

535
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 3: is in office and it's a Democrat, they're grooming somebody,

536
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: They are mentoring somebody. They have somebody to take over

537
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: that State Senate, probably the State Assembly member, and then

538
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 3: everybody's got a plan, and then the state Senator is

539
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 3: going to open up an account. That person's going to

540
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 3: look to become the Secretary of Public Instruction. And they

541
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: all plans so they always know the next seat that

542
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: they're going to have. And it fell apart at the

543
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 3: highest seat possible, and that is the governor's race. There

544
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: was no plan to follow Gavin Newsom, and now the

545
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: race is wide open and nobody's even breaking twenty percent

546
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 3: in the polls.

547
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 4: We'll talk about it coming up next.
