She finally released her announcement and 198 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 2: I know she was number one of the polls, but 199 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: that speaks to how many people are insane or stupid 200 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 2: and the state. 201 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: And I'll give you an example of why I feel 202 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 1: this way. 203 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: Katie Grimes, californiaglobe dot Com wrote a piece on how 204 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: many Californians have been leaving California. I mean, let's go 205 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: back to twenty twenty three, California had lost seven hundred 206 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 2: thousand residents between twenty twenty and twenty twenty three, seven 207 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: hundred thousand people packed up and left. Have you ever 208 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 2: heard Kamala Harris articulate a vision for that? Katie Grimes 209 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: wrote about some of the reasons businesses are leaving California. 210 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: She actually did a pretty funny part of this piece 211 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: was pretty funny. Going back to twenty eleven, Texas was 212 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:15,079 Speaker 2: the top destination for California companies. Site Selection magazine had 213 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 2: awarded Texas the twenty ten Governor's Cup for the most 214 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: new and expanded corporate facilities in the nation. Texas had 215 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: the nation's top ranking with four hundred and twenty four projects, 216 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,599 Speaker 2: California one hundred and twenty seven projects. 217 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: So Texas and Florida are. 218 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: Getting a tremendous number of businesses moving in and with 219 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: those businesses are people, jobs, income tax revenue. Going back 220 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 2: to twenty ten, and I think I think twenty ten 221 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: was Schwarzenegger Brown the governor. No would have been Schwartzenegger 222 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: Chief executive magazine called California the Venezuela of North America. 223 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: This is in twenty ten. In twenty ten, California is 224 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: anti business with anti business regulations, according to one CEO. 225 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: Another CEO said in twenty ten, California is terrible. Even 226 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: when we've paid their high taxes in full, they still 227 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 2: treat every conversation as adversarial. 228 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: The same attitude that David Howard was. 229 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: Talking about in the last segment trying to get the 230 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 2: Palisades rebuilt. There's never a single conversation, a single meeting 231 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: where the government representatives are on your side, trying to 232 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: make your life easier, trying to relieve some of the 233 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 2: pay in and agony that they created. 234 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: Why is it like this, we're paying for this. I 235 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: don't get it. It's one thing to concede. 236 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 2: All the power in life is bouncing along, But man, 237 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 2: is it miserable this The CEO said, we've actually walked 238 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 2: away from business than deal with the government in Sacramento. 239 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: Again, what would did Kamala. 240 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: Harris ever have a thought about this? This was twenty ten, 241 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 2: so the last fifteen years, says she said one word 242 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: about the horrendous business climate. Even now, in twenty twenty 243 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: five were rated fiftieth fiftieth in business climate. Here are 244 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 2: the reasons Katie Grimes Rights why businesses are leaving California 245 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 2: now in twenty twenty five. Energy costs, high and unfair 246 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: tax treatment, regulatory burden, unfriendly legal environment for business, most 247 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 2: expensive place to do business, provable savings elsewhere. Public policies 248 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: and taxes create unfriendly business climate, uncontrollable public spending, more 249 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: adversarial towards business than any other state. Poor rankings for 250 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 2: California on lists ranging from taxes to crime rates to 251 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: school dropout rates. And they have found that Northeast states 252 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: are suffering from the same phenomenon where people are bolting, 253 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: businesses are bolting, jobs are bolting. And Steve Moore, who 254 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: used to work in the Trump administration and he's with 255 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: a group called Unleashed Prosperity, he has a new interactive 256 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: report showing significant population and wealth loss in California. That 257 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: the Southeast has become the domestic production powerhouse in this country. 258 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: The Northeast is no longer the economic powerhouse. And there 259 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: are a number of Northeast states that have the same 260 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 2: bad politics as California. California is in a class by itself. 261 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: Do you know how do you know how much California 262 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 2: lost just through twenty twenty two, Like from twenty twelve 263 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: to twenty twenty two, they lost sixty eight thousand residents 264 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 2: just to Florida. 265 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: That's over almost. 266 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: Twelve million, twelve billion dollars in personal income, sixty eight 267 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: thousand residents just to Florida. Twelve billion dollars in income 268 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: goes from here to Florida. And that's as of three 269 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: years ago. And there was more residence and more income 270 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: that went to Texas, which leads to in fact, here 271 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: are those numbers. California lost three hundred and sixty thousand 272 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: residents and twenty one billion dollars in income to Texas. 273 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 2: California lost seventy five thousand residents and four and a 274 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: half billion dollars in income to Tennessee. Even to Idaho, 275 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 2: California lost one hundred and twenty thousand people and a 276 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: half billion dollars in income. California lost one hundred and 277 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: forty six thousand residents and nine billion dollars in income 278 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 2: to Washington State, which has no income tax. Net migration 279 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: loss in California one point six million, New York one 280 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 2: point seven million. California lost one hundred and two billion 281 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: dollars in personal income one hundred and two billion, Florida 282 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: gain one hundred and ninety five billion. This means everybody 283 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: in office needs to be replaced. And at Kamala Harris 284 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: was entertaining running for governor, I'd never heard her say 285 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: a word. She's been in one office or another for 286 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: twenty two years. She had didn't say one word about 287 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: hundreds of billions of dollars leaving the state. It's astonishing, 288 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: and she's considered seriously as a candidate for governor. And nobody, nobody, 289 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,479 Speaker 2: The La Times Political God forbid, the TV stations, Nobody 290 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: ever writes about this, Nobody ever talks about this. 291 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: I just I don't understand the world. More coming up. 292 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM 293 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 5: six forty. 294 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 2: Every day from one to four we're on and every 295 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: day after four o'clock. Whatever you miss if you pick 296 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: up on the John Cobelt Show on demand podcast same 297 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 2: as the radio show after four o'clock. If the big 298 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 2: news of the day is Kamala Harris not running for governor, 299 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: and I think she's never gonna serve in public office 300 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 2: ever again. She runs for president, she'll get swamp. 301 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: No, you don't think that's true. 302 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I do. I think she's done. I know, shocking, right, 303 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: what a revelation. No, I think I think there's other 304 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: people who are far more appealing that are going to 305 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: run for president. She's a fluke. She was an accidental 306 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: fluky candidate. When she ran in twenty nineteen, she bombed. 307 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: She dropped out before they started counting votes. Biden picked 308 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 2: her only because of race and gender, and then through 309 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: all the bizarre things that happened last summer, she ended 310 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 2: up running. But there's no real fan base for her, 311 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: and she's an idiot. So I think she's done. Unless 312 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 2: she wants to run for the mayor of Berkeley or 313 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 2: some stupid thing like that, she's not going to run 314 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: for office. And I don't know why would anybody waste 315 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 2: any time even talking about it? Why am I wasting 316 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 2: time talking about it? Here's another issue that I didn't 317 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 2: hear her say one word on. Every time people are 318 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 2: going klamo hers, you know, could be governor. I'm thinking 319 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 2: I could take of twenty issues to discuss and she 320 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 2: has not said one word about any of the twenty. 321 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 2: Newsome in a bit of a panic here because we 322 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 2: told you that those two California oil refineries are going 323 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: to close within the next year, and that could send 324 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: prices skyrocketing. And we told you that the California Energy 325 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 2: Commission is now desperately trying to find it's a worldwide search, 326 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: a global search for a refinery company to buy one 327 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 2: of them that's going out of business, the one up 328 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: in Benetia, the one owned by Valero. I don't know 329 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: how you convince a company to buy something that's failing 330 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: with all the taxes and all the regulations. He's doing 331 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: a second thing. His staff recently drafted language for a 332 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: bill to boost oil production in the state. 333 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: Can you believe this? 334 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 2: The Newsom administration has a bill to boost oil production. 335 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 2: This is where him having delusions of being president works 336 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 2: in our favor. Specifically, Kerrent County, where seventy five percent 337 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: of oil production in the state is done. Oil drillers 338 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: would be exempt from lawsuits from the California Environmental Quality Act, 339 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 2: and they would have that exemption for the next ten years. 340 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 2: A dozen environmental groups are angry. They said this bill 341 00:20:54,440 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 2: is a blank check to the oil industry. Good Holland Kretzman. 342 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a man or a woman. 343 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: Senior attorney for the Center of Biological Diversity. This proposal 344 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 2: is basically drill, baby, drill for California. Yes, that's right, 345 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 2: at four point fifty a gallon and headed much higher. Yes, 346 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: Holland says it's going to eviscerat our most important environmental 347 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 2: and public health protections under state law. 348 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: Blow it at your ear end. 349 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 2: The governor's office said, the proposal includes new regulations on 350 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 2: pipelines and other things, and it and I mean all 351 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 2: this is absolutely necessary. There's no point getting into all 352 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: the technical details of oil drilling. But if the environmental 353 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: activists are really angry and new some is panicking, then 354 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 2: this has got to happen. There's no way, there's no 355 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 2: way his presidency or his run for presidency, is over. 356 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 2: The minute one of his opponents runs one commercial about 357 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,239 Speaker 2: the excessive price of gas here in California. There are 358 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 2: a lot of thirty second commercials that could end Newsom's 359 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 2: presidential race real fast. 360 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: See, the media will never. 361 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: Criticize or question Newsom, but political opponents will even if 362 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 2: it's Democrats. I mean, none of the Democrats in this 363 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 2: state ever questioned Newsom, but outside Democrats who think he's 364 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 2: a goof, they're gonna question it. 365 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 4: Moment one. 366 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 2: Six dollars gas in California. Can you see those? Can 367 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 2: you see those ads? And what's this response going to be? 368 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 2: People are paying well, we had a moistline caller last 369 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 2: week nor Orland. Somebody's paying two forty to a gallon. 370 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 2: And then I see isolated stations in LA where they're 371 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 2: selling in the six dollar range and its current price. 372 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 2: I don't know why they charge six bucks, but they do. 373 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: I don't know who pays for it, but there it is. 374 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: So you just run a quick commercial juxtaposing, you know, 375 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: two dollars and forty two cent gas in New Orleans 376 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 2: versus six dollars gas in California. There you go, that's 377 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 2: the end of the campaign. Impossible for him to be president? Impossible. 378 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 2: And then you run some you know, second commercial. You 379 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 2: run video of what Los Angeles looks like for San 380 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 2: Francisco with all the half bent over drug addicts and 381 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 2: the people sleeping in the streets, shirtless, acting crazy, whacked 382 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 2: out on. 383 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: Meth. 384 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 2: All the mental ill and it's just you don't even 385 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: have to have narration. You don't even have to have 386 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 2: any graphics on screen. Just say California, you can do 387 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: You can do live commercials, just have a just have 388 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: a camera pointed at skid Row or one hundred other 389 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: places in LA in San Francisco. In fact, that'd be 390 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: a great website of live webcams. 391 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: Here you go. 392 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 2: This is Gavin Newsom's California along with flashes of the 393 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 2: six dollars gas. I don't think you need anything else. 394 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: That would be the cheapest campaign and he'd get torpedoed 395 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 2: in about five minutes. If you're thinking rationally, you don't 396 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: think like these these sycophants and hypesters who try to 397 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: puff up his balloon. There media loves to. He's a loser. 398 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 2: He's not gonna be president. He's gonna get bounced out fast, 399 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: just like Kamala Will. They're losers from a failed state. 400 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,199 Speaker 2: Nobody in the rest of the country wants this. You'll see, 401 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 2: I'm right, that's what's going to happen. Talk about reality here, 402 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 2: So all you idiots who write for new sites television 403 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 2: shows stop. They're both losers. They don't survive they don't 404 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 2: make it to the first primary. 405 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 406 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 5: six forty. 407 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 2: You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social 408 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: media and podcasts after four o'clock on the iHeart app 409 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: John Cobelt Show on Demand.

You know, the story is 417 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 2: supposed to be that does not help Ice in any way. Well, 418 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 2: the headline says, how Ice is using the LAPD to 419 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: track down immigrants for deportation. Ah, and I'm gonna tell 420 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: you about this guy, and you tell me if he 421 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: ought to be deported or not. This is who Karen 422 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 2: Bass is trying to protect, because she's made it clear 423 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 2: she wants to make sure the LAPD doesn't help for 424 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 2: that Socialist Communist Councilman Hugo Solo Martinez. 425 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: Same thing. 426 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 2: The cases of Jose Juarez Basilio. He was arrested in 427 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: March for threatening his ex wife's new boyfriend. He was 428 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: put in jail and then quickly released, but three months 429 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 2: later he gets deported. No charges were filed against him, 430 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 2: but when they booked him, they booked his They also 431 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: took his fingerprints, and when he was fingerprinted at a 432 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 2: jail in the San Fernando Valley, it pinged an ICE 433 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 2: facility in Orange County called the Pacific Enforcement Response Center. See, 434 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 2: it used to be you could arrest a guy, take 435 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 2: his fingerprints, let him go, maybe not even charge him. 436 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 2: And of course they weren't calling ICE up to say, hey, 437 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 2: do an immigration check on this character. But now ICE 438 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,959 Speaker 2: is looking at databases they weren't looking at before. And 439 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 2: so when he got fingerprinted, this center in Orange County 440 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,520 Speaker 2: got pinged, and court records show that an ICE agent 441 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 2: then tracked down Juarez Basilio and learned, oh guess what, 442 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 2: He'd been deported three times previously and illegally re entered 443 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 2: the country four times. So four times he entered the 444 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 2: country illegally three times, supported comes back for a fourth time. 445 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: That's a federal crime. 446 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 2: That's not just a violation of civil immigration laws federal crime. 447 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 2: The no Warez Basilio posted bond and was released before 448 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: the ICE agents could arrest him, but ICE agents were 449 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: waiting to take him into custody after a hearing in 450 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 2: federal court last month. He was one of at least 451 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 2: thirty people arrested by LAPD in recent months who were 452 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 2: subsequently detained by immigration agents for illegal re entry after deportation. 453 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: So now the. 454 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,479 Speaker 2: Anti ICE crowd probably wants to come up with some 455 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 2: kind of ordinance to stop LAPD from sharing fingerprint information 456 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 2: with ICE. I guess under the old administration, nobody ever 457 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 2: followed up on fingerprints, and now you can. But this 458 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 2: is the guy that you're going to be protecting, not 459 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 2: only somebody who is threatening his ex wife's boyfriend, but 460 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 2: somebody who came into the country illegally four times and 461 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 2: was deported three of the four times. In Waris Basilio's 462 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 2: case and others, the charging documents make no mention of 463 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 2: past criminal behavior, but in some of the cases the 464 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: people were arrested had prior convictions for violent felonies. And 465 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 2: still there are those quoted in this news story as saying, well, 466 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: if you start arresting illegal aliens, then then they're not 467 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: going to trust the cops and they're not going to 468 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,479 Speaker 2: be witnesses, or they're not going to report the crimes 469 00:29:58,480 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 2: they've been victimized by. 470 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: And I've been hearing. 471 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 2: About this as long as been out in California, and 472 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: my answer is, who cares. 473 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: If everybody gets. 474 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 2: Deported, then we don't have to worry about crime victims, 475 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 2: and we don't have to worry about witnesses. They can 476 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 2: all take their act on the road to the home country, 477 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 2: and when crimes are committed and crimes are witnessed and 478 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 2: people are victimized, they can all sort it out with Oh, 479 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: what are the other governments wherever they came from. Why 480 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: don't we have to sort out this mess? Why don't 481 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 2: we have to worry about this? Nobody ever asked that question. 482 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 2: It's like, why is this our problem? 483 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 5: Uh? 484 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 2: No, you know, if you start arresting people and putting 485 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 2: them in jail, then nobody's going to come and testify 486 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 2: and nobody's gonna report crimes that they were victimized. Yeah, 487 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 2: but if everybody's just out of here, then you don't 488 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 2: have to deal with any of this. You don't have 489 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 2: to have these moral dilemmas. You take all your dysfunction 490 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 2: somewhere else, don't want it here, don't want to pay 491 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 2: for it. 492 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: I don't know why that's so hard. Everybody's got problems. 493 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 2: Every country has, you know, societal problems, cultural problems, domestic issues. 494 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 2: Everybody's got them. Human beings are the same all over 495 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 2: the place. We can't take care of our own.
