1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,400 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the radio 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: from one until four, and then after four o'clock it's 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,720 Speaker 1: John Cobel Chill on demand and you could listen to 5 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: what you missed on the podcast. There's always been a 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: lot of outright lies on how much the illegal alien 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 1: issue costs US. And there's always been claims that illegal 8 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: alien households are not eligible for welfare and do not 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: get any welfare. Well, the Center for Immigration Studies found 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: out that really is not true. They did a twenty 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: twenty two analysis and found that fifty nine percent of 12 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: illegal alien households get at least benefits from one major 13 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: welfare program, and fifty two percent of legal immigrants get 14 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: benefits as well. So how could the up the rate 15 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: of households headed by US born people. Well, I'm not 16 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: going to get into all the details on this. We'll 17 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: get we'll do some more details later, but we'll stick 18 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: with the main thing. Fifty nine percent of illegal alien 19 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: households they get some kind of welfare benefits. Let's get 20 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: Stephen Camarata on from the Center for Immigration Studies Steven, 21 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,960 Speaker 1: Welcome again, how are you doing well? 22 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. 23 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: Uh explain this because it is I've heard it many 24 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: times that illegal immigrant households do not get welfare benefits. 25 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: So what specific benefits are we talking about? 26 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, so the benefits looking at here are the cash 27 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 2: benefits like the E T C or SSI or what's 28 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: called tennis, or the food programs like WICK and snap 29 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: his food stamps and free school launch and breakfast. We 30 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: also looked at medicaid and public and subsidized housing. Now, 31 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: the short answer is how do illegal cigrets affect your 32 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: main concerder? And our main issue is mainly, not entirely, 33 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: on behalf of the US born children. Ninety percent of 34 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 2: all children in illegal households are US born, and so 35 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: that gives it. In addition to that, states like California actually, 36 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: and I can give you some California numbers, California is 37 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: big enough to break out separately. States like California actually 38 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 2: do offer benefits to illegal immigrants, to some illegal immigrants 39 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 2: from medicaid and things like that. And so illegal immigrants 40 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 2: get benefits directly because they're eligible for some things like 41 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: free school lunch and the WICK program. Women Infants and 42 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: Children Nutrition program. It's a lot like food stamps, so 43 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: they are just directly eligible for that. And secondly they 44 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 2: get the programs because they get on behalf of their 45 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: children or the other way they get it. In some states, 46 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 2: and California is one of them, just give benefits to 47 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 2: illegals on their own. So that's why. So in California 48 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: you get very high percentage too, at sixty four percent 49 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: we estimate use one of the major welfare programs in California. 50 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: But California is a state with very generous welfare programs generally, 51 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: so it's not so surprising that the illegal immigrants use 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: somewhat more in California than they do in the country 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: as a whole, and. 54 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: Their benefits have expanded in recent years in California. 55 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: That's right. California has continually moved to try to allow 56 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: people in the country without authorization to access more and 57 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: more programs. 58 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: And they wonder why we have a sixty eight billion 59 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: dollar deficit this year. 60 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: Right, So let me explain something. The reason why it's 61 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: problematic is not just the direct fiscal cost. It's that 62 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: people who who use welfare programs, and let's just say 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: it's very high in California, just as as a general proposition, 64 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 2: though the rate for the US borns forty one percent, 65 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: the rate for all immigrant households is sixty percent, and 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: that's very similar to the sixty four legal immigrants because 67 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: the rate for legal immerrants is very high. So when 68 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: you put legal and illegal together, and that's how they're 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 2: identified in the data, and we have to try to 70 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: break it out, the rates are high across the board. 71 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: And the reason that's problematic is people who at these 72 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: programs generally don't pay much in taxes, so they not 73 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: only get the benefits, they don't pay much in taxes. 74 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: If they're paid on the. 75 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: Board, what your research knows shows is a lot of 76 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: them are working. Eighty three percent of immigrant households have 77 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: someone working. Ninety four percent of illegal alien households have 78 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: at least one worker. That's way more percentage wise than 79 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: legal households US boring households. So they're working, but they 80 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: don't make very much money, or they're working off the books, 81 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: and so they don't produce very much in tax revenue. 82 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: Right, very briefly, if you who live in California and 83 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: you have a couple, say the husband's working part time 84 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,840 Speaker 2: and the life is working full time, or vice versa. 85 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: And they make forty thousand year and just have two kids. 86 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 2: They can live in public fails, they can get in 87 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: the gates, they can get food stamps, wick, they can 88 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: get preschool lunch. If they have a disabled child or 89 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: or some other issues, they could get the SSI, the 90 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: Supplemental Security Income. They could also get what's called earned 91 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: income tax BIT. That's where you don't pay any federal 92 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: link of decks and they give you a check. In 93 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 2: the case of a family of making forty thousand a year, 94 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: they would check for about forty one hundred dollars from taxpayers. Again, 95 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: they wouldn't pay any taxes and they would get that. 96 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: So the point here is that work and welfare go together. 97 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: So what's happening is the imployers are advocate is they 98 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: want access to the looper, but the taxpayer is paying, 99 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: in effect the salary of the worker who makes. 100 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: A very low Well, this is why we've always had 101 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 1: both parties support illegal immigration, and the Republican reason has 102 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: often been is their constituency, business owners, business industries want 103 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: the cheap labor, and so we have to make up 104 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: the low set galery by offering them a long or 105 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 1: a wide array of welfare benefits, right. 106 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: And that's really what's happening. So you say, look, the 107 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: person's working on why how can this be a problem 108 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 2: for me? Because in modern America, when it's a well 109 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 2: developed welfare state, that folks are still able to access 110 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: a lot even even if they work. So the bottom 111 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: line is the illegal immigration. Yes, it's illegal. That's a 112 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 2: problem on many levels, but the welfare and social costs 113 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 2: are not due to the fact that the illegal offics 114 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: are lazy. It's not because they all came to get welfare. 115 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: Though a very large practicing in California, you know, we're 116 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 2: as well. 117 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: You know, that's the key statistic from one of them 118 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: for me is ninety percent of legal immigrant households have 119 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: a US born child. So coming here and then having 120 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: your child can can bring in you know, some good 121 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: welfare money. 122 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that's important because what it means is to 123 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: try to bar illegal immigrants from using programs, not just 124 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: because of the politics of California, but just in general, 125 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 2: are going to be very limited. Besides, we're not going 126 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 2: to deny the immigrants' access to things like the women 127 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: in in children's program that gives out nutrition to low 128 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: income women with young children. Just save the nail of 129 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: the program. So anybody who says, look, the immigrants can come, 130 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: can't use these solfare props. Let's stop that. No, that 131 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: is not possible. Either you would force the law and 132 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: have a smaller illegal imitgrant propulation even if you can't 133 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: eliminate it, or you just accept the cost. There's no 134 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: middle ground. You can't fix the problem if you say 135 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: they can come. But we're never going to elect the views. 136 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: But given their incomes, and their incomes, by the way, 137 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: generally reflect their educational ataement. And again it's fun. 138 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: It's poor people. They're unskilled, they don't have a lot 139 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: of education. They're going to get low paying jobs, a 140 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: lot of jobs off the books. They'll show up every 141 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: day and they will work hard. But it blows a 142 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: big hole in the budget. Is I do you have 143 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: any any numbers on how many billions of dollars it 144 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: cost in California to supply all the immigrants their welfare benefits. 145 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 2: Remember most of these benefits, not all, especially when California 146 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: choose its salf and pay with money those benefits are 147 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: being paid for by taxpayers s sh tanic with snap. 148 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: Most programs are most all federally funded, so the vast 149 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: majority of the costs are born by federal taxpayer, of 150 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: which the people of California are included. When California decides 151 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: to do fund things itself, which it does do on 152 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: its own, then you know, those fusts likely, but it's 153 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: not huge. Those costs make total you know, several hundred 154 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: million or a billion dollars for the specific cost and 155 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 2: then California gets hit with the cost of administering these 156 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 2: programs because a lot of times states and counties administer 157 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: welfare programs. But the bottom line is it's really the 158 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: federal these programs where California gets a lot of times 159 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: to take care of unshored people in public schools. That's 160 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 2: where illegal immigrants create you know, many tens of billions 161 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 2: as well. Well. 162 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: When you went through the list of programs, that's all 163 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: those were. There's a lot of acronyms there. There's a 164 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: lot list of programs. All right, Stephen, got it roun. 165 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for coming on. Thanks for having 166 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: me so at least people know just how widespread this is. 167 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: There's there's a lot of lies and propaganda that whatever 168 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: passes for the media, that that that they shovel out 169 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: fifty nine percent of illegal households, fifty two of legal 170 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: immigrant households get some form of welfare benefits. And most 171 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: of the immigrants are working, but they're not paid very much. 172 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 1: And this is the evil of the business corporations is 173 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: that they push for lenient immigration laws. They bribe the 174 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: Republicans to look the other way on lenient immigration laws, 175 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: knowing that we the tax payer, is going to subsidize 176 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: their cheap salaries and lack of health care benefits. All right, 177 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: Stephen Camarada from the Center for Immigration Studies, we come 178 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: back at Eagle Pass, which is overrun with immigration right now. 179 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: Texas Border patrol agents, well, the border patrol agents in 180 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: Texas are numbered two hundred to one by the migrants. 181 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: We'll get into those details next on the John Cobelt Show. 182 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 183 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 3: six forty. 184 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: You've probably heard, well, we just had Stephen Cameron on 185 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: from the Center for Immigration Studies. And don't let them 186 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: lie to you, because they're always lying, regardless of what 187 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: you think about immigration. Fifty nine percent of illegal alien 188 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: households are getting some kind of welfare benefits, and ninety 189 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: percent of them have US born children, and that's how 190 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: they get a good deal of money. Fifty two percent 191 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: of legal immigrants are getting benefits and they are working. 192 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: Ninety four percent of illegal alien households are headed by 193 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: someone that has a job, eighty three percent of all 194 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: immigrant households, so they are working, but they're paid garbage. 195 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: And that's why the businesses lobby for a lenient immigration 196 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: is because they know the taxpayer will pick up the 197 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: cost of their food and housing and medicaid, their medicine. 198 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: And right now we're getting up to fifteen thousand illegal 199 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: immigrants a day, which is an extraordinary number. We've had 200 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: at least three million since the start of the Biden administration. 201 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: The latest story is that the Texas Border Patrol agents 202 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: are outnumbered two hundred to one by illegal migrants two 203 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: hundred to one. Yet that notorious liar carn Jean Pierre 204 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: said this today at a press briefing at the White House. 205 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: And what we're seeing here at the border, the migration flow, increased, 206 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 4: migration flow, certainly, it ebbs and flows and we're at 207 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: a time of the year where we're seeing more at 208 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 4: the border, and it's not unusual. This is an immigration 209 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 4: system that has been broken for decades, and the President 210 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 4: has taken us very seriously to try. 211 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 2: To do more. 212 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: I she is shameless, absolutely shameless. When are the reporters 213 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: gonna run up, pick her up in the air and 214 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: carry her out. I honestly, she's the most shameless liar. 215 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: She's up there. Do you remember during the Iraq War 216 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 1: Bagdad Bob. He used to lie for Saddam Hussein about 217 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: what was happening in the war while you could see 218 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: the war going on behind him. It was comical. They 219 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: did comedy sketches about this guy twenty years ago. And 220 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: this is the modern version of Bagdad Bob. Karine Jean Pierre. 221 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: She just utters apps nonsense and is rarely challenged by 222 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: any of those dufest progressive whack job reporters. What a 223 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: weird ritual they go through every day. Well, here's the 224 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: story about the border patrol agents and Eagle Pass, Texas. 225 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: Just you know, let's just deal with the truth. Let's 226 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: argue about the truth, not all the fiction and fantasy 227 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: that they're fed that they feed to US Border Protection. 228 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: They're out numbered two hundred to one. This one station, 229 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: Eagle Pass, Texas, processed forty five hundred migrants on Tuesday 230 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: into their facility. There were already fifty three hundred people 231 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: being held inside, so you have almost ten thousand people. 232 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: It's at two hundred and sixty percent capacity. So border 233 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: patrol checkpoints across Texas have been forced to close. They 234 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: need to divert manpower to Eagle Pass because there's so 235 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: many thousands. So now those checkpoints, those communities have no patrol, 236 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: so drug smugglers, human smugglers can operate without any impediments, 237 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: which is what the drug cartel is doing on purpose. 238 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: This is by design. You flood the zone at Eagle Pass, 239 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: you paralyze that particular processing center. The US has to 240 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: transfer border patrol agents from other posts, and now you 241 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: could ram through enormous numbers of drugs. You know, young 242 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: smuggled girls who are going to be sold into prostitution. 243 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: Every single checkpoint is closed, Every border patrol agent is 244 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: in Eagle Pass. According to a Texas Congressman Tony Gonzalez, 245 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: they're not in the field stopping bad actors and nefarious goods. 246 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: Coming over. It's dangerous. Everybody is overwhelmed. They are flying 247 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: in Border Patrol per personnel from around the United States 248 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: to help. Congressman Gonzales said he met a guy from Buffalo, 249 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: another word from New Jersey, and he's the one who 250 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: said that the Border patrol agents are out numbered by 251 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: two hundred to one. These are new all time daily records. 252 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: Every day there's a new record, and it's gone from 253 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: ten thousand to twelve thousand to fifteen thousand. Just this week, 254 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: the federal government has closed two major rail passes from 255 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: Mexico into the United States, which carry about a third 256 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: of the rail traffic into this country, and they're shut down, 257 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: which is going to cause supply chain disruptions. There's all 258 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: kinds of products and food on these trains that are 259 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: not getting to their destinations. Gonzalez says. The process is 260 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: completely broken, and they're getting in by downloading this c 261 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: BP one app while they're in Mexico. They're they're they're 262 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: pre registering so they don't get counted as illegal. It's 263 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: a complete scam. They have reported over three hundred thousand 264 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: migrants each month August, September, October, November, December, are going 265 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: to be even higher. As of November, the backlog for 266 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: migrant immigration hearings topped three million, up from two million 267 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: just a year ago. Coming up, good news for Steve 268 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: Garvey running for seven I'm the John Cobelt Show. 269 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM 270 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 3: six forty. 271 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: On the radio one until four after four o'clock John 272 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: Cobelt on demand the podcast. This was good news. Steve 273 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: Garvey is doing better in the polling to be a senator. 274 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: Steve Garvey is going to be in the March primary. 275 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: He's going up against three major Democrats. He hasn't campaigned 276 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: much publicly. He's been on our show a couple of times, 277 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: and I think in general a lot of the candidates 278 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: are going to go full bore after the first of 279 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: January because it's pretty clear people don't pay much attention 280 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: and you're just wasting your time and money. But here's 281 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: the new poll. This is from Morning Consult and the 282 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: website Politico. Adam Schiff is at the top of the charts. 283 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about him in a minute, and he's 284 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: got twenty eight percent of the vote. But Steve Garvey 285 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: is second place now with nineteen percent, and this is 286 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: a top two race. The top two finishers go on 287 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: to November and the runoff. There's two other major Democrats running, 288 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: and it's Katie Porter, she's famous for dumping a pot 289 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: of massed potatoes on her ex husband's head during a fight, 290 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: and then Barbara Lee, who's a left wing nut I 291 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: think from the Oakland area. So it's shift with twenty eight. 292 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: And this poll includes likely voters and those who are 293 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: undecided but leaning all right, So I don't know how 294 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: much hocus pocus was done to massage the numbers. Garva 295 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: is second place with nineteen percent, Katie Porter, missus potato head, 296 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: is seventeen percent, and then Barbara Lee, the nut, is 297 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: fourteen percent. There are two other Republicans, James Bradley and 298 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: Eric Early there at seven. And then former Channel eleven 299 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: and Channel five reporter anchor Christina Pascucci she's at four. 300 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: Said she's listed as a Democrat as well. So Garvey 301 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: got a big bump up uh from previous polls. Uh. 302 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: Schiff gets a majority of men. Now he is that 303 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: bead eyed, balding guy who coughed up all these absurd 304 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 1: lies and stories about Trump and the Russians. I don't 305 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: care if you hate Trump, what what? But but Schiff said, 306 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: we're just flat out lies. And he's like a cartoon character. 307 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: He's got these little beady eyes. It looks like he 308 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: sweats a lot, uh balding head and and he's just 309 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: an unpleasant character. And I've seen him interviewed on television 310 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: and he just makes stuff up. I think he's like clinical. 311 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: I think there's there's a mental disorder there. That's just 312 00:19:54,520 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 1: me the uh. But he's got fifty of the male vote. 313 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: Why why would men vote for a guy like him? 314 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: He's a weasel. Usually guys don't like weasels. He's a weasel. 315 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: I mean he's almost like the physical embodiment of a weasel. 316 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: And nothing he says is true nothing. How do men 317 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: vote for Adam Schiff and not Steve Garvey? A baseball 318 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: hero for goodness sakes a baseball the Dodgers World Championship, 319 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: and he's a smart guy. We've had him on the 320 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: show and he's very level headed, easygoing, normal. I don't 321 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: understand why you would want a blithering fool like Adam Schiff. 322 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how he got elected. He got elected 323 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: twelve times in the Burbank area. I just don't understand it. 324 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: The uh yeah, so he gets he gets fifty four 325 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 1: percent of male Democrats in the poll, and there actually 326 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: isn't much difference between the three Democrats. It's really gonna 327 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: come down to likability. Except for the Israeli war. I 328 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: think Barbara Lee is definitely a pro terrorist candidate when 329 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: it comes to that. Another funny story coming out of Mexico. Well, 330 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: I mean it's not no no go do the Mexico story. 331 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: Next. 332 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about this funny story out of 333 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: the La Times about retired cops and firefighters who are 334 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: fleeing California and going to Idaho. And part of the 335 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: reason they're fleeing California is because of the left wing politics. Well, 336 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: they get to Idaho and the Idaho people consider these 337 00:21:54,040 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: cops and firemen left wing. They they went to Eagle, Daho, 338 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of anti California bias against California 339 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: migrants to these states because they think even the Republicans 340 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: are two left wing. These guys show up with big 341 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: pensions and they come with their six figure pensions and 342 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: to the old Idaho guard that's been native for decades. 343 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 1: These are socialists. One mayor of Eagle Pass, Jason Pierce, said, 344 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: it's ludicrous that these cops and firefighters with these big pensions, 345 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: it's ludicrous that they call themselves Republicans. You find a 346 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: lot of Californians who move here and they don't realize 347 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: how much liberal baggage are bringing with them. And the 348 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: thing is the California pension money. That's good money to 349 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: keep an economy going in Eagle Run, and it to 350 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: you know, it increases the cost of housing as well. 351 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: Tens of thousands of government workers have left California. Ninety 352 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: thousand members of COWPERS that's the public employee retirement system, 353 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: ninety thousand get their pension payments outside the state. Three 354 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: point six billion dollars the state sends out to these retirees. 355 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: Not only California state employees. La County City of Los 356 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: Angeles the top out of state destinations, low tax places 357 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: like Lake the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, the desert 358 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: suburbs of Reno, Lake Havasu, Arizona. But the number one 359 00:23:54,320 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: zip code is Ego, Idaho, thirty thousand people. That's the 360 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: size of the suburb, hundreds of miles from California, and 361 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 1: they come rolling in over the last few years, and 362 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: the mayor says he's contacted constantly by newly arrived Californians. 363 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: If they see garbage in the street. They ask why 364 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: the town doesn't hire more maintenance workers, and he says, 365 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: pick it up yourself. You want your taxes to go up, 366 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: you want more government. See, they're so hardcore in these 367 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: small Idaho towns. They consider garbage removal to be your responsibility. 368 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: First of all, don't dump the garbage. Second of all, 369 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: if you see the garbage, picking up yourself. But they 370 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 1: don't want to hire maintenance workers. Here in La nobody 371 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: picks up the garbage, but we still pay billions for 372 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: the sanitation Department finds it hard to understand how retired 373 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: police and firefighters can consider themselves conservatives. They want to 374 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: give the same kind of benefits to officers and state 375 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: employees here, and our reaction is, wait a minute, you 376 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: literally created a huge deficit in California, and now you 377 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: want to do the same thing here in Idaho. So 378 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: these conservative cops and firemen take their pensants to Idaho 379 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: and they're called a bunch of crazy California liberals. More 380 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: coming up on the John Cobelt Show. 381 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 382 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 3: six forty. 383 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: Of course, later after four you can hear the John 384 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: Cobelt Show podcast on the iHeart app. You might want 385 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: to listen to the beginning of this particular hour, the 386 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: three pm hour, because we talked with Stephen Camarada from 387 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: the Center for Immigration Studies, and he told about the 388 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: huge percentage of illegal alien households and legal immigrant households, 389 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: both illegal and legal, who are getting big welfare benefits. 390 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: Fifty nine percent of illegal alien households are getting welfare 391 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: benefits and fifty two percent of legal immigrant households. It's 392 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: costing a lot of money. He went through the list 393 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: of programs. It's it's mind boggling how many different programs 394 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 1: they're accessing. And we also played a clip of Kreean 395 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre, the President's chief liar and spokeshol Play that 396 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: clip again because I want to compare it to what 397 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: another spokes hoole is saying. Yeah, Because while we were 398 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: talking with Stephen Camarata, a story came out on the 399 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,479 Speaker 1: Daily mail that looks like Biden is finally in panic 400 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: mode about the border. I don't know what sent him 401 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,439 Speaker 1: over the edge, but he's holding urgent phone conversations with 402 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: the Mexican President Obrador. Play this clip from Krean Jehan Pare. 403 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 4: And what we're seeing here at the border the migration flow, increased, 404 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 4: migration flow, certainly, it ebbs and flows, and we're at 405 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: a time of the year where we're seeing more at 406 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 4: the border. And it's not unusual. This is an immigration 407 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 4: system that has been broken for decades, and the President 408 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 4: has taken us very seriously to try to do more. 409 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: And what we're seeing, well, right, stop, stop. 410 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 2: Well. 411 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 1: Another spokeshole for Biden is John Kirby. He usually speaks 412 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: on national security, but this is a national security issue too, 413 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: and Kirby said, there's probably more we can be doing. 414 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 1: He finally admitted, he said the opposite of Korean John Pierre. 415 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: They're not doing everything they can. He's admitted we got 416 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: to do more. Now Biden is suddenly having urgent phone 417 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: calls because in the last few days, all the facilities 418 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: along the southern border in Texas are completely overwhelmed. They're 419 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,440 Speaker 1: out the border patrol agents are out numbered two hundred 420 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: to one. They closed our government closed two major rail 421 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,959 Speaker 1: lines rail passes. How can we have the United States 422 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 1: having to close major rail lines into our country with 423 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: all the goods and food aboard because we have totally 424 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: botched the border. That is massively incompetent to lose control 425 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: of the border so badly that you have to shut 426 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: the rail passages. They've been shut all week. Now there's 427 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: trains backed up in Mexico that's supposed to bring goods 428 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: and food into the country. Now Biden is sending some 429 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: of his top administration officials to meet the Mexican president 430 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: to come up with a way to deal with the issue, 431 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: including the Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln. So suddenly is 432 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: it's an urgent, overwhelming problem here over the holidays because 433 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: they let this go to hell. Also, funding for Ukraine 434 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: and Israel is tied up because the Republicans are demanding 435 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: changes at the border and they're not going to vote 436 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: for aid to Ukraine and Israel until they get their changes. 437 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: We've got Chris Barrill coming in for Conway. 438 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 2: Yes we do well, We're. 439 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 5: Gonna go over the river and through the woods to 440 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 5: get ourselves, some newtered toys, and we'll wade through the 441 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 5: storm water on the way back in order to take 442 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 5: in the summer, the winter solstice as it were. Big show, 443 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 5: big show. 444 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: That's right, seven twenty seven tonight, winter starts, shortest day 445 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: of the year.
