1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: We are on every day from three until six and

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: then after six o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: the iHeart app. And that's the podcast, and that's where

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: you listen to whatever you missed. We're going to talk

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: now in a moment with Carl Demayo. There is a

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 2: lot of disruption at the airports around the country. Long

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: lines for the TSA at check it could be twenty

10
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: eight minutes, thirty minutes, could be two hours. That's in

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: some cities at certain times of the day. Because the

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 2: Democrats in Congress are having a hissy fit over over Ice.

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: Ice is funded until twenty twenty nine. There's nothing they

14
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 2: can do about that. That ship is long sailed, so

15
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: they're trying to punish the rest of the Department of

16
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: Homeland Security. Now, we've had a number of terrorism incidents

17
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: just in the last week, since we're in the middle

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: of a war with the greatest exporter of terrorism in

19
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: the world. But as Democrats in Washington don't think that

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: we should have a fully functioning Department of Homeland Security.

21
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:25,279
Speaker 2: We shouldn't have a fully functioning TSA, okay, just waiting

22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: for people to be blown up and killed.

23
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: I guess.

24
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: So people are dealing with these delays at various airports

25
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: around the country. We're going to talk now with Carl Demya.

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: He's a Republican assemblyman from the San Diego area.

27
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: Carl, how are you well.

28
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 3: I'm frustrated. I had to get on an airplane today

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: and I don't know whether there's going to be a

30
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 3: long line or not, so I have to leave even earlier.

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: So this morning I had to get up at three

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: forty in the morning to get on the first flight

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: at six point thirty to make sure that I don't

34
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: miss that flight. Because in Sacramento we have you know,

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: legislative business. And this is not just me, this is

36
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: every American now has to spend a lot more time

37
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: getting into the airport. Some of them are finding the

38
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: lines for two hours long. And why because Democrats are

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 3: trying to score cheap political points. But more so than

40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 3: just the inconvenience to travelers, we have the Coast Guard

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 3: that's not fully funded and they need to be policing

42
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: our ports. There was a report that the FBI said

43
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: that there may be some sort of risk of droans

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: being launched from port facilities to the west coast here

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: in California. And then of course the people themselves are

46
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: not getting paid. These TSA agents are not paid a

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: whole lot, and so they are now entering week three

48
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 3: with no paycheck, and what are they supposed to do?

49
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: This is absurd, it is outrageous, it's offensive, and Democrats

50
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: in Washington need to stop playing games, stop risking our security,

51
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 3: and they need to treat these people with basic decency

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: by them.

53
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: Well, the TSA workers I suppose are from what I understand,

54
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: are calling in sick and they're probably picking up jobs

55
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 2: delivering food or working for Uber because I don't know

56
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: how you keep the money coming in if you've got

57
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 2: a family, Because they're.

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: Exactly what they're forced to do. Yeah, they they they

59
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: want to continue to do the job, but there's basic

60
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: economic necessities where if they're not able to pay their bills,

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: they've got to pick up a gig job. And you know,

62
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: it's hard enough for us to recruit and retain for

63
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: these positions as it is. It's it's you know, not

64
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: the easiest job. When you know, people sometimes when they're traveling,

65
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: they're at their worst and they take it out on

66
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 3: TSA agents, which is inappropriate. But this is a hard

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: job to recruit and retain for. And now we're seeing

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: that these individuals are not being paid. And so the

69
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 3: Democrats like to say that they're always fighting for the

70
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: working family. Now you're getting the shaft to people who

71
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: have nothing to do with your little political you know, stunt.

72
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: And as you just pointed out, none of this actually

73
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: addresses what Democrats say they're trying to address, which is

74
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: ICE policies.

75
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what's really bizarre. They can't they can't defund ice.

76
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: It's fully funded for the rest of Trump's term. So

77
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: they're stuck. So they try to go after adjacent agencies

78
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: that have nothing to do with immigration and has everything

79
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: to do with getting to your plane on time. I mean,

80
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: it just punishes regular people. It's not punishing the Trump administration.

81
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: It's just making life even more difficult for normal people

82
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: trying to get around.

83
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 4: Well.

84
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: Today on the Assembly floor, I and my Republican colleagues

85
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: tried to force a vote on a simple resolution that

86
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: would have put the California State Legislature on record calling

87
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: for Democrats in Congress to reopen TSA, reopen the Department

88
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: of Home and Security, back passing this budget. And the

89
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: Democrats in the Assembly here in Sacramento didn't want to

90
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: offend their colleagues in Washington. They're okay with people not

91
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: getting paid throughout the state of California. They're okay with

92
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: the inconvenience and the risk factor. So they killed our resolution,

93
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: which was a very simple. Look, Congress, do your damn

94
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,679
Speaker 3: job and fund this agency. And mind you, these members

95
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 3: are Congress. They're getting paid even though federal workers are

96
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 3: not getting paid. Remember the old no budget, no pay

97
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: nonsense that they talked about years ago. These members of Congress,

98
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 3: they always know that they can shut things down and

99
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: not lose pay. I think we should have a no budget,

100
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 3: no pay for real provision that says, if there's any

101
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 3: late budget, you permanently forfeit your salary, rather than this

102
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: nonsense of well kept Most of the government's open, so

103
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 3: we should be able to get our payroll and we

104
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: should always be able to get it after the fact.

105
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: In full, I'm just do your job.

106
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: You don't get paid.

107
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just tied.

108
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 2: And this is also stupid. I mean just seems every

109
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: months there's another shutdown, and it comes to know that

110
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: there's nothing good about it. It just.

111
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: It penalizes people who don't deserve this.

112
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 2: It inconveniences people who can't who can't afford to have

113
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: the inconvenience. It's stupid. It's a stupid way to run

114
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: the government. It's a stupid way to run the country.

115
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: It shows that they have no consideration or care for

116
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: the people who work day in and day out in

117
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: these programs. Again, I know that some people can get

118
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 3: frustrated with government workers, but the reality is this, this

119
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with that. It has everything to

120
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 3: do with Congress not doing their job and clearly not

121
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: caring about the financial impacts to the workforce.

122
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: And you know what the root of all this is,

123
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: you got a whole party that does not want to

124
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 2: enforce the law. This comes out of not wanting to

125
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: enforce federal immigration law, which which is is crazy that

126
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: that you know exactly, I mean, it just totally not

127
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: It's like, no, we're enforcing federal immigration law.

128
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: Too bad.

129
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: You lost the election when you were in charge. It's

130
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: not like you rewrote the rules. You didn't rewrite the laws.

131
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: This is the law. Trump's enforcing it enough.

132
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 3: Well, and they're showing that they're willing to put the

133
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: interests of people here, not legally in particularly the criminals

134
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: that ICE is trying to target. But they're somehow more

135
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: important than travelers. They're more important than the issues of

136
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 3: homeandsecurity with terror threats, and they're more important than these

137
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: workers that aren't getting paid. I mean that speaks volumes

138
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: about where your priorities are, and they're pretty darn twisted.

139
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: All right, Carl Demiel, thank you for coming on with us.

140
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: Thank you, Carl Demeyer, Republican Assemblymen in San Diego. And

141
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: of course we're in a high terrorism alert because of

142
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: what has happened in Iran and what Iran is capable

143
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: of and all the sleeper cells that are in this

144
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: country because of the wide open borders.

145
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: This is all real stuff.

146
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: We've had a number of terrorist incidents go on just

147
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: in the last week or so. Now Iran supposedly has

148
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: a new president rather a new supreme leader, a new Ayahtola,

149
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: the son of the old Ayatoila, And we talked last

150
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: week about how he has some sexual issues when it

151
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: comes to reproduction.

152
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: Remember, oh right.

153
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, he wasn't didn't seem to be fully

154
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: loaded down there and they need an air. Well, it

155
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: turns out he has something else which might get in

156
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 2: the way of having an air we'll tell you about

157
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,120

165
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: They got a talkback feature thing all right. Now, we

166
00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: discussed most Tapa Hamani. Now you say his name, you

167
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: knew how to say most of bah. That's right, most

168
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: of a bah. And we talked last week. There was

169
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 2: a story. Now I don't know if some of these

170
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: things are propaganda or it's true, but the propaganda is

171
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: entertaining that there has been reports that he got hit

172
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: in the missile attack and he lost a leg and

173
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: he's in a coma. And then there's another report saying

174
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 2: he actually the missile missed him because he excused himself

175
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: from a meeting and walked out of the building. And

176
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: then the missile. I don't know it's true.

177
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 1: Now.

178
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: What's apparently true, though, is at the age of fifty six,

179
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: he did not produce an air a sun for a

180
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: long time. And this was a problem. He had a

181
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 2: sexual issue and he had to go for like in

182
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: some kind of enhancement surgery four times. And he was

183
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: auditioning women. Remember that's that's where we found out. Under

184
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: their version of Islamic law.

185
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 6: You can marry for five minutes.

186
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, or an hour or a day or a week,

187
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: and you try out the wife and then you.

188
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 6: Throw it to the curb if you don't, you know,

189
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 6: she doesn't produce. Yeah, and you know it, you know,

190
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 6: it could be your fault.

191
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: It turned out it was this guy, most of Bah,

192
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,479
Speaker 2: most of Bah didn't didn't have the juice to reproduce.

193
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: Eventually he did after four trips to the clinic. Well,

194
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: here's a here's maybe the real reason he's had trouble. Uh,

195
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: this really happened. Uh. Trump learned last week that, according

196
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,320
Speaker 2: to US intelligence, the new Iranian Supreme Leader may be gay.

197
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: And that's why his father, the Iyahtola, I mean, he

198
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: didn't think he would.

199
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: Be the right guy to rule Iran.

200
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: This intelligence was so surprising that Trump started laughing aloud

201
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: during the briefing, according to sources, and in fact, everybody

202
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: at the meeting thought it was hilarious and they haven't

203
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: stopped laughing about it for days.

204
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 6: But wasn't he declared the I mean, didn't his father say,

205
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 6: if something happens to me, you are going to be

206
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 6: the next buy in command.

207
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

208
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: He got voted in by what by the people who

209
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: weren't killed. Because where that missile hit or missiles hit right,

210
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 2: forty of them died, so they had to scrounge around

211
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: and find replacement.

212
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 6: Okay, so he wasn't. He wasn't their top choice. Is

213
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 6: what you're getting.

214
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: No, but he was one of the few guys left.

215
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: And he's also the son. And you know, at the

216
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 2: age of fifty six, he he was having so much

217
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: trouble to reproducing. So I don't know which is the

218
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: cover story. It may be that he just couldn't get

219
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 2: worked up for a woman.

220
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: Because he.

221
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 6: Wasn't attracted.

222
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: It wasn't attracted them, wasn't It wasn't his thing. But

223
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: I didn't think they tolerated that. I thought, in Iran,

224
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 2: you get beheaded.

225
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 6: I think it's only the women.

226
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 3: I don't know.

227
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought I.

228
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 2: Thought the guys are treated. You can't be openly gay

229
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 2: in Iran. Probably not, No, that's uh. But I think

230
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 2: the stoning is you know that that's a little much

231
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: stoning really, right, just because you can't reproduce.

232
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be tied to a tree and stone, yes,

233
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: or if.

234
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 6: You're gay, or you don't, you forget you're covering the

235
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 6: women or you're whatever.

236
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: Whatever the reason is, all the things that they stone

237
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 2: women over. Yes, yeah, I mean there are people I

238
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 2: think should be tied to a tree.

239
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 6: In stone, yes, but most of the people that are

240
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 6: stone there. Yeah, and we're not talking about the pot.

241
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 2: No, Well, most of bah has, according to sources in

242
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: the California Post, has made aggressive sexual overtures excuse me,

243
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: aggressive sexual overtures to the men caring for him. So

244
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: he was wounded, according to this story, and he's in

245
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: the hospital and he's still morning and he's yes, whatever

246
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: guys are assigned to treat his condition, he has made

247
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 2: some really explicit sexual requests. Is this a Rick Jacob situation? Well,

248
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how much he's moving. If he's had

249
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: his leg blown off.

250
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 6: I mean, but if he had his leg blown off,

251
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 6: you would think that sex would be the last thing

252
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 6: on his.

253
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: I don't know.

254
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: It seems he's under heavy medication and maybe that took

255
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 2: away his inhibitions in ambitions. Yes, US by agencies do

256
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: not have photographic evidence of most of ours Hymeni's sexual

257
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: attraction to men, but sources say the tip is solid

258
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 2: from one of the most protected sources that the government has.

259
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: The tip is solid with Eric.

260
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 6: Don't go there. I was hoping neither one of you

261
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 6: were going to say anything.

262
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: Can you just let us be guys here, okay? Uh

263
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: Suras said.

264
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: The fact that this was elevated to the highest of

265
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: high levels in intelligence shows you either some confidence in

266
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: this story. It's been whispered. It's been whispered about, insider

267
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: Rod since the May twenty four helicopter crash that killed

268
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: the then president Ibrahim Raizi, because Hamioni wanted ray Easy

269
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: to be the next supreme leader, and he didn't want

270
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: his son to be chosen because he believed his son

271
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: was gay. And then there was Oh, here's a classified

272
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: US diplomatic cable from eight This is in wiki. Leagues

273
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: describe mosh Taba being treated for impotence in the UK,

274
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: but they didn't identify what may have caused the condition.

275
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: He didn't marry till age thirty. I didn't get married

276
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: till thirty one, and he needed four visits to the UK.

277
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 2: After a stay of two months, his wife became pregnant.

278
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: God knows what they had to show him to get

279
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 2: him going there. And it's like, all right, all right,

280
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: look at this now, quick, there she is, have at it.

281
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: We need an air.

282
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Kobel's on demand from KFI.

283
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one no We're on every

284
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: day from three until six and then after six o'clock

285
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: John cobelt Show on demand the podcast. You know, we

286
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: talk a lot about how Newsom is destroying the state

287
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: of California, uh, but not enough about who might replace him.

288
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 2: And we are it's so strange because there's so little buzz,

289
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: so little discussion of his replacement and whoever becomes the governor. Boy,

290
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: what a what a toxic mess they're gonna have to

291
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: handle here, because what is it? It's the middle of March,

292
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 2: and I guess about six weeks away is June second?

293
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: Is Primary day and the top two will move on

294
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: to November. Because it's pretty obvious nobody's gonna get fifty

295
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: percent of the vote. You have to get like fifty

296
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: percent plus one to win outright. So there's about eight

297
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: major Democratic campdate. It's actually when you look at the ballot,

298
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: it's probably it'll be going to be about forty names.

299
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: But there's two Republicans, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco, and

300
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 2: then there's about six Democrats who don't have most of

301
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: them don't have significant followings, but you know they're in office,

302
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: let's say, or they used to be in office, and

303
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 2: so they're treated like they have a significant chance and

304
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 2: they don't. There's five people in double digits right now,

305
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 2: and I'm going to use the Real Clear Politics polling

306
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: average because individual polls are subject to, you know, those

307
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: margins of error. So if you take a whole bunch

308
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 2: of polls and average them, you might get a closer

309
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: number to reality. Steve Hilton is on top the Republican

310
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: at fifteen percent, and Eric Swallwell the top Democrat at

311
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: thirteen and then there's three candidates bunch together at about

312
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: eleven percent. Tom Steyer, who's that billionaire, Chad Bianco of

313
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: the Riverside County Sheriff, Republican, and then Missus potato Head

314
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: and they're all at about eleven. So Hilton is the

315
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: as the advantage overall. Swellwell is in second place. Now

316
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 2: I gave you five names. There there's five more people,

317
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 2: but all of them are in double low single digits

318
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: or they don't register at all.

319
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: And one of them is Zevir.

320
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 4: Bisera Jabber Bakaria.

321
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: He used to be Joe Biden's Secretary of Health and

322
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: Human Services. He used to be the attorney general. He

323
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: thinks he's a big deal, but he's not because in

324
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: the polling average he's at four percent.

325
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 4: Pabber Ba Karia has.

326
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: Really no meaningful support. Nobody cares that he's running for governor.

327
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: Nobody wants him. And the only one who doesn't.

328
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 4: Realize this is Jabber ba Karia.

329
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you.

330
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: Imagine you're name to a presidential candidate. That is the

331
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: peak for a lot of politicians to make it to Washington,

332
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 2: see to be in the cabinet meetings.

333
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: And his boss didn't know.

334
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 4: Who the hell he was Javier Ba Karia, And I think.

335
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: That was from his original introduction, but he got when

336
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: Biden nominated him. So he's a clown and he's desperate,

337
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: and he's at four percent and there's going to be

338
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: a debate on March twenty fourth, but they decided they're

339
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: only going to feature six candidates, and Javier Bakaria didn't

340
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: make the cut, jabber Ba Karrea, and he's all pissed off.

341
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: And what's amazing is I guess California is going to

342
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: be the last place woke dies.

343
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: It's going to be the last place where identity politics

344
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: eyes because the debate is based the debate. Invitation is

345
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: based on merit. You have a following that shows up

346
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: significantly enough in the polls, and you have enough in

347
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: the way a campaign donations that you can run a

348
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 2: viable campaign, because you can't. You cannot win an election

349
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: if you have no money. So that's what the criteria

350
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: was at USC. So listen to this loser who cannot

351
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: make it unmerit. So he's waiving the identity flag. My

352
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: father used to tell me of the days when he

353
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 2: would encounter signs posted outside establishments that read no dogs, Negroes,

354
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: or Mexicans allowed. But Sarah wrote in a public letter

355
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 2: to the USC President. USC's actions may not seem so transparent,

356
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: but you've deliberately chosen to selectively filter the voter's view

357
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: of the field of candidates. He's claiming that only people

358
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 2: of color has been excluded, And it is true all

359
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: the candidates that maybe the top six are white, but

360
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 2: they have a following and they have money, and you don't,

361
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: and neither does Tony Vallar.

362
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: He's not being allowed to debate.

363
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 5: I believe it.

364
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 2: Me or a couple of other losers not even worth mentioning.

365
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 2: But they all happen to be non white. But that's

366
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: not the reason they're being excluded from the debate. They're

367
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: excluded from the debate because their name doesn't come up

368
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: in polling. When the posters call or write to members

369
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 2: of the public and say, hey, who do you want

370
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: to vote for? Here's a list of candidates. Hardly anybody

371
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: checks their names, Hardly anybody says their names. They're not

372
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: interested in these people. These are the losers. And Bakarea

373
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 2: thinks it's twenty twenty that they could say, well, I

374
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: am Hispanic and therefore I should get in. There is

375
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 2: no Hispanic seat at the debate, just because you're a

376
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 2: span you have to be a Hispanic. And let's say

377
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: you gotta have ten percent of the vote or you

378
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: gotta have x millions of dollars in donation. That's the criteria. Otherwise,

379
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: why not have all forty people on the ballot debating

380
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: And it's it's and that's you know, that is the

381
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: purpose of DEI. So losers can get higher. So people

382
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: who are who don't have the goods, who don't have

383
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 2: the merit, the credentials, the talents, the brains, they get

384
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: the job anyway. And but Sarah thinks it's twenty twenty,

385
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: and it's not. It's twenty twenty six. USC's not doing

386
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: it that way anymore, and neither is ABC News. So

387
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 2: he's whining and complaining and digging up references to all

388
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: racist signs from the nineteen fifties. It's the twenty twenties.

389
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 2: That era is long gone. Everyone who made that era

390
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 2: happen is dead or very old. But that's the squeal

391
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 2: of a loser.

392
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.

393
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: All right, now, if I would ask you, Deborah, number

394
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 2: one reason you won't go downtown to go shopping.

395
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: Or go see a show. What would it be?

396
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 6: It would be the homeless.

397
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, number one homeless. If I asked

398
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: my wife and I said, what's the number one reason

399
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: we don't go downtown anymore to go see a show

400
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: or to walk around or to go shopping, she would say,

401
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 2: the homeless. I will present to you a story in

402
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Times written by Roger Vincent.

403
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

404
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if Roger's in touch with reality at all,

405
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: because I'm looking at a story and it's about how

406
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: downtown LA wants to get its shoppers back, and they

407
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: want to understand San Francisco's secret. Apparently San Francisco maybe

408
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: subsidizing some pop up stores to kind of get the

409
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: ball rolling, to get some some pedestrians coming back to

410
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: do a little shopping. So they're providing help with leases

411
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: and city permits and insurance and three to six months

412
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 2: of free rent.

413
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: Okay, you got it.

414
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 2: They blame, believe it or not, the COVID nineteen pandemic

415
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: for why people don't go downtown.

416
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 6: That was six years ago.

417
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. I thought, maybe I hit my head.

418
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: No, well, you may have six years ago, Roger Vincent,

419
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: we had COVID nineteen and a lot of stores closed down,

420
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 2: a lot of offices sent their people home and they haven't.

421
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: Come back to the office yet, I guess.

422
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: So there's a lot less foot traffic and they're not

423
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 2: having lunch, they're not having dinner, they're not doing their

424
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: daily shopping and errands and things. So San Francisco revitalized

425
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 2: their downtown a bit with free rent and grants. But

426
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: what they also did the mayor went block by block

427
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: and they had an organized system to get the homeless

428
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: encampments off the sidewalks in San Francisco. So somebody tell

429
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 2: Roger Vincent and what's left of the editors at the

430
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 2: La Times that it is not the COVID nineteen pandemic.

431
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 2: It is crazed, violent homeless people, mental patients and drug addicts. Terrifying.

432
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely tech didn't they just have a huge fight. Criminals

433
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 2: had some kind of riot and they had poured into

434
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: an upscale condo building next to crypto.

435
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not me.

436
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: How many paragraphs? We'll do a little quiz here. So

437
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: I read this story and it's and I had to

438
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: read the whole story. Sorry, because only once was there

439
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: a mention of anything to do with crime or homelessness?

440
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: How many paragraphs did it take to get that vague mention?

441
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 6: How many paragraphs are in there?

442
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: Well, there's about thirty five paragraphs.

443
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 6: I would say ten.

444
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: That's incorrect.

445
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: Eric, you want to tak a guess how many how

446
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: many paragraphs before they mentioned crime or homelessness. I'm going

447
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: to guess it's in like the sixteenth paragraph. All right,

448
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: never says ten. Eric says sixteen thirty, first paragraph thirty.

449
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 6: Oh no, I was actually thinking something ridiculous like that,

450
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 6: but I said.

451
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 4: No way.

452
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 2: And the only reason it's in there is the president

453
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 2: of a business association said that if you add businesses

454
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: while improving public safety, it would create a virtuous cycle.

455
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 2: And that little half a quote from the head of

456
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: a business association, that was it. There is nothing else

457
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: referencing the hundreds, maybe thousands of mental patients that swarm downtown.

458
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: There's encampments, there's homeless, there are violent drug addicts.

459
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 6: There's poop.

460
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: There's poop, they're defecating, urinating, there's needles. But in the

461
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Times, according to Roger Vincent, it is a

462
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 2: pandemic from six years ago, that's causing the downturn. All right,

463
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: we come back, Jamie Page from the California Post. We

464
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: are now paying for the homeless to stay in a

465
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: beachside hotel. Well they're supposed to be in there, it's

466
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: still vacant. We've paid six hundred and twenty five thousand
