You're going 7 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 2: to want to listen to the podcast later tonight, John 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app, and we 9 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: posted shortly after four o'clock, so you can take it 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 2: all in on your schedule. Let's get right to it. 11 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 2: Next hour. Todd strick I'm sorry. Tony Strickland is coming on. 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 2: He is the Republican state senator from Huntington Beach and 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: he's going to address the ten to fourteen billion extra 14 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: dollars needed to fund high speed rail just to build Bakersfield. 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,480 Speaker 2: To Merced, there's a lot of misleading headlines here. High 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: speed rail is short fourteen billion. No, it's short, well 17 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: over one hundred billion. They just want to finish Baker's 18 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 2: fieldmer said, And they're ten to fourteen billion short, and 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: Newsom will not give up. I think the union heads 20 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 2: have pictures of Newsom with a goat or something, because 21 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: this is insane, but it's not the only insane thing 22 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: going on. It's not even the most expensive insane thing 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: going on. While they need ten billion to finish that 24 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: stretch of high speed rail, they need twelve billion dollars 25 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: for illegal alien healthcare and Sacramento twelve billion of your 26 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: tax dollars. Look at your paycheck this week and look 27 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: how much California state tax comes out of your check, 28 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: and there's twelve billion of these dollars that are going 29 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: for legal alien healthcare. Let me do like a quick rundown. 30 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: If you're not real familiar, you know the government, federal 31 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 2: government pays for Medicare. We all put into that right 32 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: and then when we get old and we retire after 33 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: sixty five that the government will pay a lot of 34 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 2: our medical expenses. Now, poor people get Medicaid and that 35 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: comes out of general tax money. In California, Medicaid is 36 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: called medical and the way it works is US government 37 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: and the state government more or less split the cost. 38 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: I'm simplifying this. However, the federal government does not cover 39 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: illegal alien health care. The federal government will only pay 40 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 2: for American citizens. I don't know about Green cardholders. But 41 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: American citizens get this and we should. Illegal aliens, in 42 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 2: the eyes of the federal government under all administrations, have 43 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: never gotten Medicare. I'm sorry, you never gotten medical or medicaid. Okay, 44 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:11,399 Speaker 2: illegal aliens don't get that. However, a few years ago 45 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: in California, they started incrementally giving illegal aliens health care. 46 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: It started first with elderly illegal aliens. Then it was 47 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: little kids, then it was everybody. Everybody from cradle to grave, 48 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: birth to death. Everybody gets your tax money. But in 49 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 2: this case in California, medical one hundred percent is paid 50 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: by the state because again the federal government says, no, 51 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: we are not covering people who broke the law and 52 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: came to this country illegally. They don't come here and 53 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: get a free healthcare ride. You know. You know how 54 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: difficult it is for a lot of people to get 55 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: medical care, how expensive it is. No, you know, But 56 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: of course California stands by itself. Fifty states, forty nine 57 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: of them say no money for illegal aliens. Gavin Newsom 58 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: said yes, and the idiots in the legislature passed it, 59 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,919 Speaker 2: and now we have over a million and a half 60 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: illegal aliens getting twelve billion dollars of free health care. 61 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: You do know when they come over the border they 62 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: come here. Either they come straight up into California or 63 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: they make a left turn because you get free health 64 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: care here. And Newsom and the idiots, you know, I 65 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: told you the other day, three quarters of the people 66 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: in this state who graduate high school are not proficient 67 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: in math, three quarters of them. And guaranteed they're all 68 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: in government. Guaranteed. They can't add, they can't subtract, multiply, 69 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: or divide, They can't count, obviously, So all these public 70 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 2: school failures that populate the government now are shoveling out 71 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 2: twelve billion dollars. They thought it would cost half that, 72 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: which is bad enough, bad enough, it was supposed to 73 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: be six billion. They didn't count on all these legal 74 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: aliens coming and all of them apply. Well, who wouldn't, 75 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 2: Who wouldn't come for free healthcare? Who wouldn't apply? See 76 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: these forms they can fill out. So Newsom is now 77 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 2: backed into a corner because state's broke. We have a 78 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 2: budget over three hundred billion dollars. Fifteen years ago it 79 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: was one hundred billion. Now it's three hundred billion. A 80 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: lot of money's going to legal alliens in one form 81 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: or another. And now he's hit a wall. So he said, Okay, 82 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 2: this year, since we're broke, we're not taking any new 83 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: illegal aliens, and the old ones on the medical program 84 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: have to cough up one hundred dollars a month. Well, 85 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: all holy hell is broken loose in Sacramento because now 86 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: the Democratic Legislative Latino Caucus is demanding, demanding that their 87 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: illegal aliens, all of them, should get full healthcare paid for. 88 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: And they're willing to raise taxes. Yes, the Legislative Latino 89 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: Caucus wants to raise taxes on you. Here's a report 90 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: from again the only reporter covering Sacramento and the legislature 91 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: and newsom. This is NBC Sacramento KCRA Channel three, Ashley Zavala. 92 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: Well, a new tax cuts to other state services. These 93 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 3: are things that are now being talked about here at 94 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 3: the state capitol as some lawmakers try to continue providing 95 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: healthcare to undocumented people at the scale that California has been. 96 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 3: As we've been reporting, state leaders ended up spending a 97 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 3: lot more money than they thought they would on this 98 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: program this year alone to cover one point six million 99 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 3: undocumented people. California taxpayers are spending about eleven billion dollars. 100 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 3: The state next year is expecting to spend even more. 101 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 3: To address that, the governor proposed capping the program no 102 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 3: longer allowing undocumented adults to sign up starting in twenty 103 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: twenty six, and for those who are already signed up, 104 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 3: the governor proposes a monthly one hundred dollars premium. This 105 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: would not have an impact on kids. The issue is 106 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: that the federal government helps pay for Medicaid costs for 107 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: low income Californians. In fact, the federal government provides California 108 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 3: with more than half of those healthcare funds, but the 109 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: federal government will not reimburse the state for costs associated 110 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: with undocumented immigrants. The Democratic Latino Legislative Caucus held this 111 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 3: press conference today blatantly rejecting the governor's proposal to make changes. 112 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 3: The caucus did not provide any specific solutions. 113 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: They said everything should. 114 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: Be on the table, including a new tax to help 115 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: pay for those costs. 116 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 4: We've got to assess everything we're saying. We've got to 117 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 4: be reasonable about this approach. We have to stop the 118 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: narrative on vilifying immigrants. 119 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 5: The rhetoric. 120 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 6: What they want you to believe is that our community 121 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 6: is at fault for the deficit in our state's budget, 122 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 6: but is not. What is happening year after year after 123 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 6: year is that entities, businesses are getting away with providing 124 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 6: a less than livable wage, or getting away with forcing 125 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 6: their employees to have a part time schedule, forcing them 126 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 6: into our state's driven medical program. 127 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 3: Now, California this year also has a Republican Hispanic legislative caucus. 128 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 3: We checked in with members there, some who tell us 129 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 3: that the healthcare was a promise that the governor. 130 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 7: Could not keep. 131 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: Assemblymen Josh Hoover is one of those members. Here's what 132 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: he had to say about a possible new tax that 133 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 3: the Democrats are floating. 134 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 8: The idea that they would even consider a tax increase 135 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 8: to cover these services, I think just shows where California's 136 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 8: priorities are. We are the governor, to his credit, is 137 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 8: trying to be a little bit more responsible. We cannot 138 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 8: in good conscience continue to cover those programs while cutting 139 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 8: IHSS and cutting foster youth programs and all these other 140 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 8: priorities in California. 141 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 3: Over the next month or so, this will be one of, 142 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: if not the biggest debate as California lawmakers and the 143 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: governor try to nail down the state spending plan for 144 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 3: the upcoming year. 145 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 9: Federal lawmakers are still in the process of deciding possible 146 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 9: cuts to the Medicaid program. The result of that could 147 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 9: also impact how the state moves forward with healthcare for 148 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 9: undocumented people only. 149 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 2: But that's Ashley Zavala, NBC Sacramento KCRA Channel three only 150 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 2: reporter in the state, the Sacramento Insanity, and it affects 151 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: all of us. I don't I don't understand why all 152 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 2: the television stations and the Allied Times don't have a 153 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 2: dedicated Sacramento reporter covering this, covering this, but they don't. 154 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 2: So we're grateful that we can use Ashley Zavalla's reports 155 00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 2: all the time so that you know what's going on here. 156 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: In her report, you may have heard a couple of 157 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 2: Latino Latino Caucus assembly women speaking out with this rhetoric 158 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: on how we are obligated to pay for legal alien healthcare. 159 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: I want to focus on that when we come back. 160 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 2: I'll give you the names of these two assembly people 161 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 2: and we'll play we'll play that clip again. In fact, Eric, 162 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: if you could just isolate that area where the two 163 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: women spoke, the two assembly people, because these two are trouble. 164 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: One of them, I know for sure. 165 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 1: Is a nut. 166 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 167 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 5: six forty. 168 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: All right, last segment, we played you a TV report 169 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: from Ashley Zavala of KCRA Channel three and Sacramento, the 170 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: NBC affiliate, and it is about twelve billion dollars of 171 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: your tax money which was blown this year on illegal 172 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 2: aliens for healthcare issues. Specifically, they get free healthcare, free 173 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 2: healthcare here in California that one hundred percent of it 174 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: is paid paid for by you, a state taxpayer. This 175 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 2: is Medicaid, and in fifty states the federal government splits 176 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: the cost of health care with the state, and Medicaid 177 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 2: is for poor people. In California, they allocate a lot 178 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: of money just for illegal aliens, and the federal government says, no, 179 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 2: we're not using federal dollars on. 180 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: That they're not citizens. 181 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: And this goes back to every administration Trump, Biden, Obama, 182 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: Bush Clinton. No administration has ever paid for legal alien 183 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: health care. No other state does this because it's really 184 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: expensive and they don't deserve it. Because if there's money 185 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: available tax This comes out of the general tax treasury. 186 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 2: We know there's a lot of things that are neglected 187 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: and screwed up in the state, and they always say, well, 188 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 2: you know, have the money. So now you have this 189 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 2: Latino Legislative Caucus, Democratic Legislative Latino Caucus. We're going to 190 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: play another clip from Ashley Zavala's story and the two 191 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 2: women State Senator Lena Gonzalez from Long Beach and then 192 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: you have Carolina Men's Javar from Van nys So these 193 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: are two local women who are state senators and they're 194 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: making the case that you, the American California taxpayer, ought 195 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: to be paying healthcare from birth to death for anybody 196 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: who wanders in from any country and ends up in California. 197 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,079 Speaker 2: All the illegal aliens came from one hundred and seventy 198 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: different nations. They all deserve free healthcare that you were 199 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: supposed to pay for. Listen to these two lunatics again. 200 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 4: We've got to assess everything we're saying. We've got to 201 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 4: be reasonable about this approach. We have to stop the 202 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 4: narrative on vilifying immigrants. 203 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 6: The rhetoric. What they want you to believe is that 204 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 6: our community is at fault for the deficit in our 205 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 6: state's budget, but is not. What is happening, year after 206 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 6: year after year is that entities, businesses are getting away 207 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 6: with providing a less than livable wage, are getting away 208 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 6: with forcing their employees to have a part time schedule, 209 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 6: forcing them into our state's driven medical program. 210 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: Well, that second woman is really a koop, isn't it. 211 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: I'll dress her first. This is Caroline to men Javar 212 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: from dan n van Nis. The rhetoric is that our 213 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: community is at fault for the state's deficit. Our community. 214 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: Who does she represent?

It's illegal to hire illegal aliens. 228 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: So you have one set of law breakers or aren't 229 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 2: paying enough money to the other set of law breakers, 230 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: and so we're required to step in with our tax money, 231 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 2: and you want more tax money. 232 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: Does she hear what she's saying. 233 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 2: She's telling you that there are a set of business 234 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,200 Speaker 2: owners who are paying cheap wages to set another set 235 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 2: of people who broke into the country illegally, and that 236 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: we're responsible to make up the difference and give the 237 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 2: illegals free health care. 238 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: That's nuts. 239 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: The business owners who are paying cheap wages, we're hiring 240 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: illegal aliens. They should be charged and the illegal aliens 241 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: should be deported. That's how it works in most other countries. 242 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: Nobody else does this, and nobody in any other state 243 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 2: gives a Maria Can tax money to illegal aliens for 244 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: health care. No body doesn't exist. 245 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 7: Now. 246 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: The second woman was Lina Gonzalez No. 247 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: That was the first woman in the clip play Lina 248 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: Gonzales part again, listen to this. 249 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 4: Sas everything we're saying. We've got to be reasonable about 250 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 4: this approach. We have to stop the narrative on vilifying immigrants. 251 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: Or stop it there. We've got to be reasonable about 252 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: this approach. You already have twelve billion dollars and now 253 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: you want more. You want to raise taxes on us. 254 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: You're reasonable. 255 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 2: You're reasonable because eight million people broke the law over 256 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 2: the last four years, busting into the country illegally. A 257 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 2: lot of them came to California hand out, pay pay, 258 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 2: pay pay, Free healthcare for me, free health care for 259 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: my partner here, free healthcare for whatever kids.

Lena Gonzalez, 262 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,959 Speaker 2: another five star gold plated kook. We have to stop 263 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: the narrative on vilifying immigrants. No, they don't belong here, 264 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 2: they don't deserve free health care. 265 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to pay for it, and you're going 266 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: to increase taxes. 267 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 2: We have the highest taxes in the country, highest income taxes, 268 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 2: highest sales taxes, highest gas taxes, and the property tax 269 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 2: revenue in this state is more than any other state, 270 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 2: even on a per capita basis, because real estate is 271 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: so expensive here and that's not enough. So you invite 272 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 2: people from one hundred and seventy other countries, and we're 273 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 2: supposed to say, ashore, here's some more money. It's okay, 274 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 2: I'll work extra, you know what. I'll work on the weekend. 275 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: I don't need to see my kids, I don't need 276 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 2: to see my wife or husband. I'll work extra. Because 277 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 2: there's eight million people from US. We got a million 278 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 2: and a half people already, million and a half already 279 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: here in California who are siphoning money from us with 280 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 2: this Medicaid program. That's stolen money. As far as I'm concerned, 281 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,679 Speaker 2: they should have no legal right to it. I enough 282 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 2: is enough already. But you've got to wake up here 283 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 2: because with the highest taxes and then inviting the whole 284 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 2: world to come in and get free healthcare and you're. 285 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: Paying for it. What kind of STUPIDO? Are you? All right? 286 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 2: We come back? I can't get enough of this. I 287 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 2: also have a bit of a dilemma. But you know 288 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 2: Jake Tapper, who's a king bozo on c D. He 289 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 2: spent years frantically trying to cover up for Joe Biden's 290 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 2: health collapse. Then he switched sides and wrote what I 291 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 2: understand is a pretty terrific book. Along with Alex Thompson, 292 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: and they uncovered a million secrets in the Biden White House. 293 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 2: So now he's hawking the book and Maigan Kelly as 294 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 2: a satellite talk show, and Kelly had Jake Tapper on, 295 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: and Kelly went after him for spending years covering up 296 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: Biden's health problems and mocking anybody who questioned it. And 297 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 2: now suddenly, when there's millions of dollars at stake, it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, 298 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: he lost his mind. We'll play eclips from that. It's 299 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 2: pretty entertaining. 300 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 301 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 5: six forty. 302 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 2: So Jake Tapper was probably one of the premiere liars 303 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 2: and deflectors polishing Joe Biden's rear end all those years. 304 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 2: He's one of CNN's top anchors and hosts. In fact, 305 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: he moderated co moderated the debate between Trump and Biden 306 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 2: when Biden's brain fell out of his head, and for 307 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 2: years he was trashing guests who appeared on his program. 308 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: Tapper went after Lara Trump, Donald Trump's daughter in law 309 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: when Lara started talking about Biden's fading cognitive issues, and 310 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 2: Jake Tapper insisted it was because Biden has a stutter. 311 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: They thought Lara Trump was making fun of his stutter. 312 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: Total nonsense. And he also you might hear it here 313 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 2: in this montage. He goes after Dean Phillips, who is 314 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: a Democratic congressman, who is the only one who had 315 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 2: encourage to run against Biden in the primary because he 316 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 2: saw what was obvious. And by the way, eighty percent 317 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: of the country saw it.

He did 428 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: say all those things. She was afraid. Chick Tapper apparently 429 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 2: got the the testicle snip he had. 430 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: No, he didn't have the balls to go after Joe Biden. 431 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: And why was that? 432 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 2: Is he just a loyal Democratic public relations hack, not 433 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 2: an objective reporter. That's why his loyalties was with protecting Biden, 434 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 2: like most of the Democratic left wing journalists that have 435 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 2: overwhelmed the media, especially in Washington and New York. 436 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: That's what it is.

I think what we see 491 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 11: on stage with Joe Biden Jake is very clearly a 492 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 11: cognitive decline. 493 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 7: That's what I'm referring to. 494 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 11: It makes me uncomfortable. 495 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 7: You are, no, that's so amazing. 496 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 11: You're trying to tell me that what I was suggesting 497 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 11: was you were. 498 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 7: Mocking his stutter. 499 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 500 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 10: I think you were mocking his stutter. And I think 501 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 10: you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline. 502 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 11: And it's very concerning to a lot of people that 503 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 11: this could be the leader of the free world. 504 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: Okay, that is all I'm saying. 505 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 11: I genuinely thank. 506 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: You, Laura. 507 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 8: Sorry for Joe. 508 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 10: I appreciate it.

I called her months ago, 513 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 7: and what did she say. 514 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 10: I mean, I don't want to disclose the contents of 515 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 10: a private conversation, but I thought the conversation went well, 516 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 10: and she said she has said this publicly, so I 517 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 10: feel fine of sharing it. She said that she would 518 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 10: never mock anybody's stutter. But I mean, you know, after 519 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 10: we did the research for this book and I realized 520 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 10: how bad his acuity issues were, Like I mean, I 521 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 10: called Laura Trump and I said, you were you were right? 522 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 2: She was totally right. 523 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 11: That's the thing because when I watched that clip, and 524 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 11: I'm giving voice to what a lot of people watching 525 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 11: the show are feeling. Jake, I feel angry because she 526 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 11: was right, and not only did you not allow her 527 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 11: to make her comments, but you seem to try to 528 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 11: humiliate her. You had a hostility toward the position, but 529 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 11: she was totally right, and then you lecture her on 530 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 11: how she was in no position to diagnose cognitive decline, 531 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 11: which you guys do at length, including on page four 532 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 11: of your book. You described at length his cognitive decline, 533 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,959 Speaker 11: which is all she tried to do with you. But 534 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 11: you had such a visceral reaction to her, And my 535 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 11: feeling is that's because you didn't want to hear it. 536 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 7: Now. 537 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 10: I mean, if we can, I'm happy to talk about this. 538 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 10: I didn't come here thinking that you weren't going to 539 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 10: ask me about this.
