1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't fine Am six forty you're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 2: Lou Penrose sitting in a John Cobelt John will be 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 2: back tomorrow. I feel like we've done this story a 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 2: dozen times and we are still changing our clocks twice 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: a year. But in March we will have to spring 7 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: ahead again. And Congress, at least in the House, have 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: pass legislation that says that will be the last time 9 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: we will spring forward in March and then leave it. 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 3: On March eighth, we are set to lose an hour 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 3: of sleep. That's the earliest possible start date since national 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 3: law mandates the clocks change on the second Sunday of March. 13 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 3: And on Capitol Hill, Congress is looking at those two 14 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 3: bills that aim to make daylight saving time permanent in 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 3: the US. President Trump has urged lawmakers in the past 16 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 3: to do away with a time change. So our first 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 3: official Spring story of twenty twenty. 18 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, my prediction is it will not happen. It will 19 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: not happen, not because it makes all the sense in 20 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 2: the world to stop changing the clots. It will not 21 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 2: happen because nothing is happening, like nothing will happen until 22 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 2: Trump is no longer president for the next and which 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: is a long time. Tomorrow is his adversary. One year. 24 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: Trump has been in office, literally one year, and he 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: has destroyed the entire Democrat Party brain trust. They don't 26 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: know what's going on. They can't they can't fight him, 27 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: they can't beat him, they can't stop them, they can't 28 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: sue him, and it's driving them crazy. But yeah, it 29 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 2: seems like it's a lot longer, but it's only been 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 2: one year of this four year presidency, which means there 31 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: are one thousand and ninety six more days of this 32 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: Trump administration. So there's no chance they're going to agree 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 2: on anything, even what time it is. And you would 34 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: think by now we would have had some common ground. 35 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 2: But there's no way a Democrat's going to vote with 36 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: a Republican. There's no way of a Republican's going to 37 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: vote with a Democrat. And it's all about the upcoming 38 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: midterm elections now and we'll see who takes control. But 39 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: it won't matter then because even if Democrats control the 40 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: House of Representatives, which is likely, like, I'm not going 41 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: to get caught up in all this drama of will 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: the Republicans hold the House, will the Democrats route in 43 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: the upcoming midterm election. It is almost certain that the 44 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: Democrats will pick up seats in the House, because the 45 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 2: party outside of power in the White House always does. 46 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 2: Like the only time it didn't happen in contemporary American 47 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: political history was in the nineteen thirties and right after 48 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 2: the nine to eleven attack, Like the only time, every 49 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: single time a Republican wins the White House, that Republican's 50 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: first mid year election, right, Because presidents are elected every 51 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: four years and Congress is elected every two years, so 52 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: there are two congressional elections for every one term of 53 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 2: a presidency. So Nixon was elected in seventy two and 54 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: seventy four. He lost forty eight House seats to Democrats. 55 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 2: Carter was elected in seventy six and seventy eight. He 56 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 2: lost fifteen House seats to Republicans. Reagan was elected in 57 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: eighty and eighty two. We lost twenty six seats to Democrats. 58 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 2: Clinton was elected in ninety two ninety four. He lost 59 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: fifty four seats to Republicans. That's right. New Gingridge took 60 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 2: over first time in forty years that Republicans controlled the 61 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 2: House of Representatives. Obama was elected in two thousand and eight. 62 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: Twenty ten, he lost sixty three House seats to Republicans. 63 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: Trump was elected in sixteen. In twenty eighteen, he lost 64 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: forty one seats to Democrats. So it's gonna happen. And 65 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: Republicans have such a slim margin anyway, And Doug LaMalfa 66 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: died and Marjorie Taylor Green resigned, so Republicans are literally, 67 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: in the case of Georgia, giving away a House seat, 68 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: which lowers the threshold. So it's probably gonna happen. So 69 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: Democrats will act like, this is it. We've won, We've 70 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: beaten back the Trump administration. The American people are back 71 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 2: on our side, and we've taken over the House of Representatives. 72 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 2: That's what they'll say. But the reality is nothing's gonna 73 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 2: happen because Republicans will control the Senate and Trump doesn't 74 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: work with legislation. And by the way, I think this 75 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 2: is rather brilliant. I was not skeptical, what's the right word. 76 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: I mean, having served as a staffer in Congress, you 77 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: really get to respect the balance of power. And it 78 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: is normal and natural for all bodies in federal government 79 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: to try and overreach. That's that is, that's human nature, 80 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: something the founding fathers understood very well, and it goes 81 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: on to this day. You will never not find a 82 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: member of Congress trying to have a little more power 83 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: than just being a member of Congress. And you'll never 84 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: find a president not trying to be a little more 85 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: imperial than the executive branch allows. And you'll never find 86 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court not trying to run things right. So, 87 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: knowing that all three branches of government are always going 88 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 2: to try and encroach, you get to respect the balance 89 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 2: of power, the pushback. And so when President Trump's strategy 90 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 2: going into the second administration, the first non consecutive presidential 91 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 2: two terms since eighteen ninety two, when he went in 92 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: and he said, look, I'm not really going to deal 93 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: with Congress at all. I'm going to help the speaker 94 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: become the speaker and make sure Republicans are in charge. 95 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: And then I'm not really going to spend any time 96 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: on Capitol Hill, and I'm not going to send anybody 97 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 2: to Capitol Hill, and we're not going to really have 98 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 2: a relationship with Capitol Hill. Just get the one big, 99 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 2: beautiful bill passed and everything else I'll do by executive order. 100 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: Now completely legal. It's un unconventional, but completely legal. So 101 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,799 Speaker 2: if you notice, there has not been any real legislation passed. 102 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 2: The one big beautiful bill was the budget, and that's it. 103 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: Everybody that's yelling and screaming about immigration enforcement, immigration law, 104 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, the ice guys, what are they doing, 105 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 2: Why are they removing all these people? What's going on? 106 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 2: The ice raids is so terrible. It is existing law. 107 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: Trump did not pass new interior enforcement of immigration law. 108 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 2: Trump is using the law that is on the books. 109 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 2: Everything that's happening in Minneapolis, in Los Angeles, in Chicago, 110 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: everywhere that you see ice vans rolling up and throwing 111 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 2: these people in the back of the ice van, completely legal, 112 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: existing law. He didn't strengthen immigration law. He is enforcing 113 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 2: current immigration law. It's illegal to cross into the United 114 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: States illegally, so he didn't do anything different by shutting 115 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 2: down the border. He just enforced shutting down the border. 116 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: Nobody gets the cross, not a one. They catch you 117 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 2: or throw you back. Right. He didn't invent new ice 118 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: rules or laws. He's using the ones that are on 119 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: the books, passed by Democrats and Republicans prior to this administration. 120 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 2: So this has been the strategy to just basically what's 121 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: legal now, Oh, what's illegal to be in the United States? 122 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 2: I legally, Okay, let's just do that. Let's go enforce 123 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: existing law. And Democrats are losing their minds over it. 124 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: And the reality is they voted for and their Democrat 125 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: presidents signed these pieces of legislation into the law in 126 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: the first place. So Democrats are having a hard time. Well, 127 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: look what's going to happen going forward, I think is 128 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: going to be pretty amazing because Democrats don't have a strategy, 129 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:08,679 Speaker 2: a narrative, or any players. Like California, there just isn't 130 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: any real good candidates to run for the presidency in 131 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight, and they're really scrambling and I understand that, 132 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: including Gavin Newsom. Now it's starting to tour the South. 133 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: The strategy now is to win back black voters. The 134 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: problem is Kamala Harris is already black, and she's trying 135 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: to win black black voters, but nobody in the Democrat 136 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 2: Party thinks that she is a viable candidate except her. 137 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 2: We'll tell you all about it coming up next. Loup 138 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 2: Penrose info. John Cobelt on The John Cobalt Show on 139 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 140 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 141 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 4: six forty. 142 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 2: Loup Penrose Info, John Cobelt on The John Cobelt Show. 143 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: Ellen Degenerous is back on social media. I don't unders 144 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: I like Ellen. I like that show. I like her personality. 145 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 2: I liked her as a stand up comic. I think 146 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: she's clever and like a bull and affable. Obviously, I 147 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 2: don't agree with her politics, and I think she's a 148 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: little extreme. I give her credit for actually leaving the country, 149 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: but you don't have to leave the country. You can 150 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 2: just be a critic of this or any administration and 151 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 2: still live here. I'd have more respect for you as 152 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: a patriot to just stay put and fight hard to 153 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: advance your ideas and support candidates that reflected your ideas. 154 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: You know, America is really easy. It doesn't have to 155 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: be this dramatic. It's not like you don't have to 156 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: lose your mind and cry and leave the country because 157 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 2: you're lost in an election. The elections come and go, 158 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 2: and not everybody agrees. I think what bothers Ellen and 159 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: other people like her that are so extreme in their 160 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: reaction to Trump's re election is that they believed that 161 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: everybody agreed with them, and they got so but hurt 162 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: when Trump didn't just win the electoral college, he won 163 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: all seven battleground states and the popular vote. So be 164 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: humble in your error in reading the American public. I've 165 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 2: won and lost a lot of political races. I worked 166 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 2: on a lot of campaigns. I worked on congressional campaigns, 167 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: I've worked on presidential campaigns, and I've lost more than 168 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 2: i've won. Good people tend to do that, but you 169 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 2: get up and you dust yourself off, and you retool 170 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 2: and you fight again. Because it's ongoing, this thing called 171 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 2: the American experience, so it's always going to be there. 172 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: But when I worked on the Mitt Romney for President camp, 173 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: and you never know what's going to happen, but you 174 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: start to feel really confident toward the end when the 175 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: numbers are going in your direction and the numbers were 176 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 2: going in Romney's directions. This is twenty twelve, and you 177 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 2: got to be careful because you're so close to it, 178 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 2: and you get insulated. So it's very hard to remain objective, 179 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 2: which is why you do so much polling, and you 180 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 2: got to believe the polls and you adjust, adapt to modify. 181 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: But I felt good going into that election night and 182 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 2: Barack Obama creamed Mitt Romney, and I'd be lying if 183 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: I didn't say I was hurt. I mean, I was 184 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: really personally hurt, and I was kind of mad at 185 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 2: the voters. I'm like, you got to be kidding me. 186 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: We're in a thing called the Great Recession, and this 187 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: administration is doing nothing to make life better for Americans 188 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 2: who are struggling, and it is government driven and this administration, 189 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 2: the Obama administration, just does not understand money and finance 190 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 2: and fiscal responsibility. And we have an opportunity to elect 191 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 2: somebody that comes from the world of business, and the 192 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: American people just rejected it, rejected that choice. So I 193 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 2: know what it's like to lose, and I know how 194 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: it feels, and you just deal with it. Right, It's like, okay, well, 195 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 2: I mean, Obama's been president for four years. Another four 196 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 2: years is not going to kill us. It's just, in 197 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 2: my opinion, going to make America unnecessarily late for its recovery. 198 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 2: But we will ultimately recover, and that's what happened, and 199 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 2: that attitude is lost upon the people that lost in 200 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: this last election. They just don't they don't have the 201 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 2: humility to decide, Wow, Trump cleaned our clock and we 202 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 2: are in the vast minority, so maybe we should change 203 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 2: our minds. But it's not like that. They are still 204 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: just so obnoxious. So here's Ellen. She is out there 205 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 2: somewhere the world, but on social media opining about Minneapolis. 206 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 5: Hey, everybody, I just wanted to say, I am so 207 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 5: sorry for what is happening in Minneapolis and in our 208 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 5: country really, but specifically in Minneapolis right now, because it's 209 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 5: where I shot my last stand up special and everybody 210 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 5: there couldn't have been more lovely. 211 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 2: I found it weird that she brought it back to 212 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 2: be about her, like somebody died in Minneapolis, and right, 213 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: the people that are are demonstrating and protesting, they are 214 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 2: I think wrong, but they are certainly filled with passion. 215 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: They got ice agents getting bottles thrown at them. People 216 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: are urinating in water bottles and throwing frozen urine at 217 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: the ice agents. Right. People are trying to identify them 218 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,319 Speaker 2: so as to go and harass their families and you 219 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 2: got elected officials siding with the illegal over the ICE agents. 220 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: So there's a lot going on in Minneapolis. It's a 221 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 2: real powder keg. I don't like the way it looks. 222 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 2: I am worried for my ICE agents. I am embarrassed 223 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: by my fellow Americans who think they're protesting when they're 224 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: actually breaking the law. And some idiot lost their life. 225 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 2: So how this has anything to do with you filming 226 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: your last special in Minneapolis is lost upon me. Hit 227 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: that again. 228 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 5: Hey, everybody, I just wanted to say I am so 229 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 5: sorry for what is happening in Minneapolis and our country really, 230 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 5: but specifically in Minneapolis right now, because it's where I 231 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 5: shot my last stand up special and everybody there couldn't 232 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 5: have been more lovely. 233 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of a I think a therapist could 234 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 2: help us understand what's going on there. 235 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 5: So my thoughts and my prayers are going out to everyone, 236 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 5: and I'm proud of everyone who's protesting peacefully, and I 237 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 5: am sorry for anyone who has been hurt just for protesting, 238 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 5: for doing what you should be doing. 239 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 2: Can't you wish the ICE agents well too? Can't you 240 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 2: say something for the law enforcement officers that have to 241 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: deal with the maniacs. Why can't you say everybody, the 242 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: people that are doing their job and the people who 243 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: think they shouldn't be doing their job, Like you can 244 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: just give a nod to the good guys. That would 245 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: be nice. You're supposed to be the Queen of nice 246 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: or is that Rosie? All right? When we come back, 247 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 2: So what's the Democrat plan? Well, Gavin Newsom is out 248 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: on the tour already. He got into a problem. He 249 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: was on his own podcast debating yet again the issue 250 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 2: of trans rights, particularly high school rights of trans people, 251 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: and he was with the Ben Shapiro and he used 252 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: to answer the question about boys in the girl's locker room, 253 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: and it's gone viral and the Democrat Party now is 254 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: trying to distance themselves because they think that is the 255 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 2: that's the end for Newsom. If he can't make that statement, 256 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: then he's not going to be electable at the national level. Meanwhile, 257 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris is doing a southern tour. She's doing her 258 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: book tour, but she's going to podcasts and areas of 259 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 2: the country that are in the southeast. And the goal 260 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 2: there is to win back the African American vote. So 261 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: we'll tell you what she's doing and how that's shaping up. 262 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: And then a bunch of nobody's are running.

Jade Pritzker. I mean, it's 265 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: so interesting. What's going on in the Democrat Party nationally 266 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 2: reminds me of what's going on in the Democrat Party 267 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: here in California for governor. Just a bunch of people 268 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 2: trying to get some tractioning and a whole lot of nothing. 269 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: Even in Los Angeles, nobody wants to be mayor.

That isn't the way you learn compassion. I 307 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 2: actually don't think there's anything that goes on in high 308 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: school that can teach compassion. 309 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 7: Right. 310 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: These are things that are formed in your mind and 311 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 2: in your heart over the course of life, and it 312 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,760 Speaker 2: changes over time based on your experiences. So you can't 313 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 2: teach a high school or compassion by compelling them to 314 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 2: go down to the ridiculous food pantry and hand out 315 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 2: food to people who are not starving to death and 316 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 2: who are scamming the system. It was such it was 317 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 2: the biggest joke I've ever seen. First off, that isn't 318 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: what happened. What happens is parents have to drive. They 319 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 2: are the ones that have to have to get up 320 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: on a Saturday morning to go drive your kid down 321 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 2: to the local church that has a soup kitchen or 322 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: a food pantry or whatever. And then you the kids 323 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 2: got to go and make separate bags of five apples 324 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: and separate the breads from the pre like it's all 325 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: so ridiculous. And then they opened the door and who 326 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: comes a bunch of morbidly obese, helmless people. Getting all 327 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 2: this food and then my favorite, we did it. I 328 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 2: had to do it. It was still COVID protocols when I 329 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 2: was helping my sons get their service hours, so the 330 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: people couldn't get out of the car, so it was 331 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 2: drived through soup kitchen. So we prepared all these meals 332 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: and all this stuff, put it in bags, and then 333 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 2: people who are starving to death but somehow are able 334 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: to drive a car would pop the trunk and then 335 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: we would load all their food in the trunk and 336 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 2: close the trunk and tap two times. That means go 337 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 2: ahead and drive away. And then the next starving to 338 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: death person drives through with their lexus and we popped 339 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: the trunk. And it was embarrassing because the high school 340 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 2: kids were seeing the hypocrisy with their own eyes and 341 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: watching the people well from the church try and cover. Well, 342 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: we nobody knows the whole story, so you don't know 343 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 2: because kids are like, wait, what's going on? I thought 344 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 2: we were here to feed the starving, and these people 345 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: are not starving. And if you did it a couple 346 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 2: of times, you realize, oh, they come every week. Oh 347 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 2: I see, so they're doing nothing to change their lives 348 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 2: except come back to the food pantry week after week 349 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 2: after week, and it is it is. It's not even 350 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: like food pantry food, right, It's all a lot of 351 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 2: prepared meals from like Trader Joe's. And the argument there 352 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: as well, why are we presuming they're gonna have a 353 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 2: stove and a pot and kitchenware, so you can't give 354 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 2: them food that has to be prepared. I can't, Right, 355 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: it's got to be pre prepared food because they may 356 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: not have a can opener because they're just starving to 357 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 2: death and so broke. And I'm watching these people in 358 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: these expensive cars, and I'm watching, like the high school 359 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: kids become so jaded so early in life and realize 360 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 2: that they could have been in bed or could have 361 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 2: been doing something with their lives instead of, you know, 362 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 2: making the world a better place by giving people that 363 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 2: are clearly not needy free food for no reason as 364 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 2: they drive off onto their Saturday. 365 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 10: Wow, that's an awesome lesson for everyone. First, teach your 366 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 10: kid to escape the system. Second, teach them that service 367 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 10: learning is also what kind of silverspoon do you have? 368 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 10: I got one hundred and twenty five tax returns done 369 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 10: by my students for an underserved public. Isn't that worth something? 370 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 10: I mean, christ Man, I'm from Orange County and from money. 371 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 10: What are you from Atherton? 372 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: What a lot of curse words. Please try and keep 373 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 2: the talkbacks clean, otherwise you'll never make it on the air. 374 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: I can't spend all afternoon bleeping you out, so lou 375 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: Penrose rule number four, words matter, and this is not 376 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: the locker room. But I'll take your point. No, I 377 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 2: don't have a silver spoon. I have two eyes, and 378 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: good for you. You want to go do tax return 379 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 2: What do me? Tax returns for the underserved communities? What 380 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: does that even mean? Who is underserved and paying taxes? 381 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: And who's not serving them? What kind of gobbledegook narrative is. 382 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 10: That I got one hundred and twenty five tax returns 383 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 10: done by my students for an underserved public. 384 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 2: Underserved public? But they're earning, so why don't they serve themselves? 385 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 2: Don't don't come here with that kind of woke clap track. 386 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 2: I hate it. I listen to words very very carefully. 387 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: I make a living using words, and my rule number 388 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 2: four is words matter, So don't even try if you 389 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: want to go feel better by doing tax returns for 390 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 2: people for free who can clearly do it themselves, or 391 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: they could work harder. People can work harder, believe it 392 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: or not. I don't if you know that. But what 393 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: you're doing is for you to make yourself feel better, 394 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: and that's fine. A lot of people waste a lot 395 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 2: of time making themselves feel better. But don't take it 396 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 2: out on me. I'm just seeing the world clearly. But 397 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call. Lou Penrose. And for John cole 398 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: Belt on KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on the 399 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. 400 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM sixty. 401 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 2: Lou Penrose sitting for John coblt. John out today for 402 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 2: the holiday. He'll be back tomorrow. 403 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 9: Lou Penrose, how do I apologize immenseally? You are so right. 404 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 9: You reminded me of volunteering for Habitat for Humanity during 405 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 9: the summer, and the people we were building the house 406 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 9: for pulls up at the end of the game. 407 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, in a brand new car. Right. No, I appreciate 408 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 2: the call. I'm not saying don't volunteer. I don't think 409 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: we should compel high school students to volunteer, and if 410 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 2: they don't, then they don't graduate. We have picked up 411 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 2: trash on the beach every July fifth. Every July fifth 412 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 2: they organize a clean the beach, pick up the trash 413 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: because the nine or nine ers come to the beach 414 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 2: on the fourth of July and they leave their Kansas 415 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 2: Pacific go all over the place. So every July fifth 416 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 2: we have to clean up the beach. And I've done 417 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 2: it so many times and it's a good way to 418 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 2: get service hours, and right, that's good. And it occurs 419 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 2: to me that if we have to clean up the 420 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 2: beach every July fifth, then the trash isn't the problem. 421 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,879 Speaker 2: The people are the problem. 422 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 7: They let all those celebrities leave the country. What nobody 423 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 7: talks about is they still have to pay taxes in 424 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 7: the United States on their worldwide income. So, okay, we 425 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 7: lose a little of their spending power, but so what, 426 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 7: they're still paying taxes just to they moved to Ireland 427 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 7: or France or Spain. They're still playing US taxes as 428 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 7: far as they keep their US. 429 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know what Ellen's finances are all about. 430 00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 2: I don't even know how that works. How you go 431 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 2: and live in another country. Whatever. My suspicion is she'll 432 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 2: be back. I mean, she seems very engaged in American 433 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 2: politics for somebody that could not stand the outcome of 434 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 2: the election to the point that she had to leave 435 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: the country. And I disagree with that. I don't care 436 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: what she does, but she does have a mouthpiece. She 437 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 2: is popular, and if she wants to comment on politics, 438 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 2: then she has every right to and she could actually influence. 439 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: So why not stay and fight. If you believe that 440 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 2: progressive government is so much better then fiscally fiscal conservatism, 441 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 2: like if you believe that, then engage. Have fundraisers for 442 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,199 Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders, go out there and go on television, go 443 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 2: out there and drive the narrative, go out there and sell. 444 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 2: You know, Former House Speaker Nuke Ingridge said of American politics, 445 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 2: half of this is salesmanship. It's not enough to have 446 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 2: a better idea of how to run government. You got 447 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: to go out there and sell it. So to Ellen 448 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: and everybody else that wants to leave the country. If 449 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 2: you really want to fix America in a way that 450 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 2: reflects the way you think America should be, then fight, 451 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 2: don't quit. And if you've got to quit, quit, I 452 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 2: don't want to hear from you, Lou Penrose. This is 453 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 2: Bob from more Obey. 454 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 11: Pretty obviously. 455 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: No one never taught you compassion. 456 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 2: Oh that's very young, it's very very hurtful. No, I don't. 457 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 2: I actually don't think you can be taught compassion. I 458 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 2: think compassion is something that you develop by seeing. Are 459 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: these people in Minneapolis are they compassionate? Do they have 460 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 2: compassion for the ICE agents? Are they concerned that the 461 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 2: ICE agents have to go deal with angry mobs of 462 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: mentally ill liberal white women on a daily basis? Are you? 463 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 2: Are you compassionate for the ICE agents that have that 464 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 2: are literally deputized officers of the law, and you have 465 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: elected officials, governors and mayors calling them thugs, telling them 466 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: to get out of their own city? You have compassion 467 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 2: for that? Does that fall into your category? So swinging 468 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 2: a miss, but I appreciate the call. Hey, Remember when 469 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: I told you that everything in your house, and I 470 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: mean everything in your house used to be made in 471 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 2: America at an American factory by an American worker making 472 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: real good money, and it was high quality and it 473 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 2: lasted forever. Remember when I told you that? And then 474 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 2: we closed down all the factories shipped all the jobs overseas, 475 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 2: fired the American workers, and now we import a bunch 476 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 2: of plastic crap from China. Well, I was right, And 477 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: now not only are the the refrigerators junk, now they 478 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 2: might blow up on you. 479 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 8: The recall now includes nearly one million many fridges in 480 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 8: the US, all made by frigid Air. The Consumer Product 481 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 8: Safety Commission says electrical components can short circuit and ignite 482 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 8: plastic used to make the fridges products overheating, melting, or 483 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 8: catching fire. 484 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 2: Catching fire. Refrigerators catching fire? Now, isn't that lovely? Used 485 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: to be American made frigidaire. Now the label's American, but 486 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 2: it's junk from China, and they're catching fire. You remember 487 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: your grandmother's refrigerator catching fire? I don't. I don't remember 488 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 2: my parents having any appliances that caught fire. That's that 489 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: sounds troublesome. Maybe it would have been better if we 490 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 2: kept the jobs in the United States and made these 491 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 2: things ourselves. 492 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 8: It says electrical components can short circuit and ignite plastic. 493 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 2: Oh, boys, that doesn't sound good at all. That does 494 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: not sound good at all. Well, the good news is 495 00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 2: that manufacturing is coming back to the United States, and 496 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 2: this year more Toyotas will be made in America than Japan. 497 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 12: Toyota is going to be putting onto plants all over 498 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 12: the United States. 499 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 11: To the tune of over ten billion dollars. So that's toyota. 500 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 11: So go out and buy a Toyota. 501 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 12: And that's a lot to do with because right now 502 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 12: we have all the AI plans, We have so many 503 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 12: things happening in the United States, and it's because of 504 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 12: November fifth, election Day, but it's also because of tariff's. 505 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 2: How about that. So they're going to be making cars 506 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 2: in the United States, They'll be making American cars forwards 507 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 2: and Chevies, but also toyotas. More toyotas made in the 508 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 2: United States than anywhere else in the world as a 509 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 2: result of the tariff threshold. Before we go, it is 510 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 2: the fortieth anniversary of the celebration of the Reverend Doctor 511 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 2: Martin Luther King. Forty years we've had this holiday. 512 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 6: This year marks the fortieth observation of Doctor Martin Luther 513 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 6: King Junior Day as a federal holiday. The move to 514 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 6: recognize as the civil rights leader and Nobel Peace Prize 515 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 6: winner came just four days after his assassination in nineteen 516 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 6: sixty eight, but it took another fifteen years of grassroots 517 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 6: efforts and growing public support before it was made official. 518 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 6: President Ronald Reagan signed the bill into law in nineteen 519 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 6: eighty three, designating the third Monday in January as Doctor 520 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 6: Martin Luther King Junior Day. 521 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 2: So it was Reagan that signed it into law. Yeah, 522 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 2: that's great. There was some I was watching on the 523 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: monitors here in the studio, some nice parades. I think 524 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 2: MLK Day is a winner. I like it. I think 525 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 2: that is a good holiday to be teaching people about 526 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 2: in high school. I don't think enough is taught about 527 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: the work that one man did to not just change law, 528 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: but change hearts. That's the way you do it, right. 529 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 2: You go out and make the case. And in fact, 530 00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 2: it was Reagan who famously said when he was governor, 531 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 2: first you win the argument, then you win the vote. 532 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 2: And certainly King won the argument and changed the world. 533 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 2: So Happy Martin Luther King Day from all of us 534 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 2: at KFI Lou Penrose on KFI AM six forty Live 535 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 536 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. 537 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: You can always hear the show live on KFI Am 538 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday, 539 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
