1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,279 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 2: app ron every day from one. 4 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: Until four o'clock. After four o'clock, John. 5 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: Cobelt's show on demand and you can listen to whatever 6 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: you missed. And in the last hour we talked extensively 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 2: about how they are busy passing legislation in Sacramento so 8 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 2: that the City of Los Angeles can buy up Palisades 9 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 2: lots and turn them into low income housing. This is 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: separate from Gavin Newsom offering one hundred million dollars in 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: tax money to build low income housing in the Palisades. 12 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: That's separate from Scott Wiener's bill that wants to allow 13 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 2: low income housing. These are apartment towers in any residential neighborhood, 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: Palisades or otherwise. We'll talk more about this later. It 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: is a real full on effort. Now let's go as 16 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: something completely different. Royal Oaks. ABC News legal analyst is 17 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: on here because FEMA is the target now of a 18 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: nineteen state lawsuit saying that the Trump administration broke the 19 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: law canceling hundreds of millions of dollars in disaster preparedness 20 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 2: and also the lawsuit says that the Trump administration broke 21 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: the law in hiring new administrators to run FEMA. And 22 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: let's see if Royal Oaks can sort this out and 23 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 2: explain if there's any merit to these cases. 24 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 3: Royal you there, I I'm here. Yeah. This falls John 25 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: under the heading of a bad look. There isn't any 26 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 3: evidence actually to say that the FEMA program that Trump 27 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: dumped back in April, the absence of it, contributed to 28 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 3: the problems in Texas, but that's being alleged by the lawsuit. 29 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: We'll see if the Democrat Attorney's General nineteen of them 30 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: can come up with the goods. But at this point, 31 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: after everybody is so focused on the tragedy in Texas, 32 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: it is not a good look for the Democrat ags 33 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 3: to be able to drag Trump into court and say, aha, 34 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 3: he canceled millions of dollars in emergency aid, including some 35 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 3: flood prevention systems and emergency power supply programs. So that's 36 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: just a political victory, whether or not they get a 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 3: legal victory. 38 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: It's the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, right, A. 39 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 3: Brick is the acronym, So what's happened here is that 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 3: the Attorney's General very very smart. They filed the lawsuit 41 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 3: in Massachusetts, and if you count up the numbers, there 42 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: are twelve federal judges in the Massachusetts District Court. Eleven 43 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 3: were appointed by Democrat presidents won by a Republican president, 44 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: so very likely they're going to get good news. Now, 45 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 3: this isn't some plot by the Democrats. It's a function 46 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: of the fact that for over a century there's this 47 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: blue slip program where when the president wants to appoint 48 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 3: it judge, the senators in the home state where he's 49 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 3: appointing them actually have a right to veto them. Now, 50 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: the presidents don't always go along, but they usually do. Plus, 51 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 3: judges wait until they get a president in office before 52 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: they resign. And that's why you got this, you know, 53 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: crazy eleven to one count in Massachusetts. 54 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all big stupid game, isn't it. 55 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 2: But let me ask you, doesn't doesn't did the Trump 56 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: administration like any administration, they could decide, they could decide 57 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: what programs they want to fund and which ones they 58 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: want to end. 59 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, they do, And that goes to the heart of 60 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 3: the issue in the lawsuit. One of the things. The 61 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 3: lawsuit says is, well, Congress passed the law creating this 62 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 3: sort of sub unit within FEMA for the flood stuff 63 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 3: and so on. But generally, the executive branch has a 64 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: right in implementing the congressional law to decide, well, this 65 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: is where we're going to spend the money. And Trump 66 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: has pointed out that these these programs that were passed 67 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: basically are green energy vanity projects, and they were designed 68 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 3: to help Democrats states and cities, and that was the 69 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: basis of his decision. 70 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: A lot of these lawsuits, the main argument is, hey, 71 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: the executive branch of the government cannot affect programs that 72 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 2: the executive branch runs. I mean, I don't know how 73 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: many times we've had this conversation. The Trump administration's in charge, 74 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: they get to control the federal programs. 75 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: That's right. If you don't have a statue that explicitly says, okay, 76 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: we the Congress are passing a law saying X dollars 77 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: will be spent in the following X y Z ways, 78 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 3: then the executive the presumption is he or she does 79 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: have that power. Again, though, this falls into the bad 80 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: look category because not only is this lawsuit coming when 81 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 3: everybody is so horrified by Texas and the Democrat ags 82 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: were able to say, look what Trump did. He cut 83 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: flood control. Also, they're arguing that Trump has appointed some 84 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 3: guys running FEMA illegally and one of them doesn't give 85 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: how many practical experience in terms of emergency management. Again, 86 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: whether it's true or not, it's a pretty smart move politically, 87 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 3: even if they don't prevail legally. 88 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the next thing he was going to 89 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: ask you about. Specifically. It's about this man named Cameron Hamilton. 90 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: He was the acting FEMA administrator up until May, and 91 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: lawsuit says that he was unlawfully put in that position 92 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 2: and he lacked the authority to terminate the funding. Again, 93 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: doesn't the presidential administration get to choose who they want 94 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: to run these agencies because they're in charge and the 95 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 2: other administration was voted out of office. 96 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, and so Trump probably has the better of that argument. 97 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: The Democrats are saying, is sky Hamilton. He's served as 98 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 3: acting FEMA administrator for several months and he illegally held 99 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 3: a position under a federal law called the Federal Vacancy's 100 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: Reform Act. But Trump is responding and saying look, he 101 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: was legally appointed, the presidential memorandum deemed and qualified in 102 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: the national interest. Again, it's inside baseball. Who knows who 103 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 3: will win. But it's kind of a political victory for 104 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: the Democrats to be able to say, you know, in 105 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 3: a headline, Hey, you know, the Trump appointed somebody who 106 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: didn't have any career. 107 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 2: That's all they want is the headline. The whole story 108 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: is much more complicated than that, but nobody cares. You 109 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 2: just you get a cheap headline from a very compliant media. 110 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: Royal looks very good. Thank you for coming on. 111 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 3: Do you have thanks? 112 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 1: All right? 113 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 2: Royal Oaks from ABC News, the legal Analyst. We are 114 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: waiting to see if a newsom is going to be 115 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: speaking to LA Fire survivors. 116 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: While he has three three. 117 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: Prongs that are going to bring low forced, low income 118 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 2: housing into Pacific Palisades, he's tried to distract here, I 119 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: think by claiming he's got a program where the good 120 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: people of Palisades and Altadena can be able to offer 121 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: their voice to help help shape the rebuilding of these community. 122 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: It's a total misdirection play. We'll talk about that coming up. Also, 123 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: I'll talk about the cutahey, vice mayor. She issued sort 124 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: of an apology for asking gang members to come to 125 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: town and kill ice agents. We'll talk more about that 126 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: and play her new public statement. 127 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI am 128 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 4: six forty. 129 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: Well, here's some good news. It looks like our pressure 130 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: has worked. We had Rick Caruso on was it last week, 131 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: within the last two weeks, and he was saying, how 132 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: Karen Bass and the County of La we're not using 133 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: the AI tool that he acquired with Steadfast LA. Steadfast 134 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: LA is his nonprofit that he's put together to try 135 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,679 Speaker 2: to help people rebuild in Altadena and Palisades more quickly. 136 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 2: And they had an AI permitting tool that shortened the 137 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 2: time of the permit process from a few months to 138 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: a few hours. And Bass and the La County supervisors 139 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: wouldn't take them on the offer. They wouldn't take them 140 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 2: up on the offer. Didn't understand why. Well, we kept 141 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: hammering about it and hammering about it, and I'm sure 142 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: Tracy Park came on and confirmed just a couple of 143 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: days ago that, yeah, Karen Bass was not approving of 144 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 2: the AI software that would dramatically increase the rate of 145 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: permits being granted. So we had two sources on that, 146 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: Caruso who acquired the software, and Tracy Park and that's 147 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: her district. Well, a little more hammering went on, and 148 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: now we've got this press release from steadfast La. LA 149 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: City and County begin testing the AI permitting tool provided 150 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: by Steadfast LA for faster rebuilding. 151 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: Just got this at twelve forty nine. 152 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: Both La County and La City announced today that the 153 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: AI plan check and permitting tool that Steadfast LA was 154 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: able to provide it no cost, is now available for use. 155 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 2: This was what was infuriating. It wasn't going to cost 156 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: Cairen Bass anything to use it. It would simply speed 157 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 2: up the process dramatically. This technology, read now from the website, 158 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: will dramatically expedite the plan check and permitting process for 159 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: families who want to rebuild following January's wildfires.

So the cops get inside. They 340 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 2: find fifteen children between the ages of two months and 341 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 2: age thirteen. There was another six children had been moved 342 00:20:55,160 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: to other homes. Twenty one kids. Now, there's no enough 343 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: time for a woman to give birth to twenty one 344 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: kids in thirteen years. Seventeen were under the age of three. 345 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: That would be a real busy mother. 346 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: That'd be a nightmare. I don't think you could. 347 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 2: Run seventeen pregnancies through your body three years. Turns out 348 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 2: all of this they were all surrogate born children. And 349 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: I guess they had paid off at least seventeen other 350 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: women as many as seventeen other women in the last 351 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: three years. And they're thinking that maybe this was they 352 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 2: were trafficking in babies. They were having babies created and 353 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: then selling the babies, since they found six in other homes. 354 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: I don't know, just speculation there, but there must have 355 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 2: been nobody's doing this for fun. Nobody wants to have 356 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 2: seventeen kids under the age of three running around the house, 357 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 2: and of course they hired some nanny and they think 358 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 2: the nanny was beating up the kids. 359 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: Oh God, so awful. 360 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: The nanny is fifty six year old Chun May Lee, 361 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 2: and the cops say they're security cameras that showed Lee 362 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: was verbally and physically abusing the kids. Now, technically, having 363 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 2: dozens of children through surrogates is not illegal, but a 364 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 2: lot of the activity inside the home obviously was, and 365 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 2: the executive director of the Center for Bioethics and Culture, 366 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: Callie Fell, told Channel seven that the situation smells of trafficking. 367 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 2: So they were creating kids. This was like, this is 368 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 2: like horse breeders, right, they breed horses. 369 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: And then they sell them. This is so bad. This 370 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: I'd never heard of before. 371 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 2: Breeding children through surrogates and then selling them. 372 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: I can't imagine there's any other sean.

I think it's important to 376 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 6: highlight that. 377 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 7: One thing to know your rights, another important and imperative thing. 378 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 6: To do is to exercise them. And she did that. 379 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 7: She videotaped what occurred and it's an example of what's 380 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 7: occurring all over here in southern California. What's occurred at 381 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 7: a level we've not seen in modern times.

They have lost eighty 387 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 7: percent of their business. 388 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: Oh, this is an illegal animal said they've. 389 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 7: Lost something more precious, which really put it in perspective. 390 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 7: They said they've lost a sense of community. They said 391 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 7: they missed their customers, not the business. 392 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 6: They missed the tables being filled. 393 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about business.

Well, he won't even show 398 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 7: up because he's scared to death of being pulled over 399 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 7: for simple reason because the way he looks. 400 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: Oh, they're not doing it.

They have responsibility as relates 479 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 7: to public safety. So I'm deeply mindful of that. There's 480 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 7: a balancing act there. But when it comes to the 481 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 7: safety of officers, I wish them no harm. 482 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 6: Mostly these folks have been conscripted.

All right, 518 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 2: A lot of these people are paid. In fact, one 519 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 2: of those reporters speaking a bit getting paid. Why don't 520 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 2: one of those reporters ask Newsome why he pays Turla 521 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: thirty four million dollars in tax money thirty four million. 522 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 2: Turla is a nonprofit illegal rights group, and then Churla 523 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: is involved in instigating the riots. Turla helps finance and 524 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 2: provide supplies to the riots, and Newsom gives them money. 525 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,120 Speaker 2: Any of those idiot reported what do you think about 526 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 2: the drawdown of first Why don't you ask him what 527 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 2: he's doing in financing these rebel organizations who provide the 528 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 2: information and the logistics and the materials so that the 529 00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 2: organizational members can riot against law enforcement. That was a 530 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 2: taxpayer funded riot and it was enabled by Newsom. But 531 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 2: I think journalists now just I guess maybe they go 532 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: through a gender affirming surgery before they enter the uh 533 00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 2: enter the press room and question the governor because they've 534 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: all been newtered in one way or the other.

What do you expect. You're going 539 00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 2: to get the National Guard, You're going to get the Marines, 540 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 2: and you should. They've created this environment. You see this 541 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 2: going on in other states. No, in other states actually 542 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 2: help ICE because ICE is following the law. The law 543 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 2: that are These are the same people who's scream about democracy. 544 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:54,240 Speaker 2: The way democracy works is there's a constitution, there's a 545 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 2: set of federal laws. We voted on the representatives, we 546 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 2: voted on the president and everybody in alignment. 547 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: Here. 548 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 2: Brome Court is there to make sure that laws are 549 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 2: in line with the constitution, that the laws are followed properly. 550 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 2: All that is set up. It's a big, tough infrastructure. 551 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 2: And the way it works is presidents in charge of 552 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: immigration policy ICE enforces it. It's all proved, it's all legal, 553 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 2: it's all required. Newsom bass try to undermine it. They 554 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 2: fund rioting groups, They fund the groups that incite the riots, 555 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 2: that enable the riots, and then when Trump one ups them, 556 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 2: and Trump gave him the checkmate. He brought in the 557 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: National Guard, and he brought in the Marines right away, 558 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 2: and they ran around to every judge that they could find, 559 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 2: and they lost, and they lost again. Because Trump's in 560 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 2: charge of the National Guard, Trump can deploy the Marines. 561 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 2: Trump is in charge of immigration policy. They are not. 562 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 2: Newsom doesn't work. I'm sorry. Trump doesn't work for Newsom. 563 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 2: Trump doesn't work for Bass. Neither does the guy who 564 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 2: runs immigration, Tom Homan. You don't run things. You're just 565 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 2: a mayor and a governor of a failed city in 566 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 2: a failed state. You had your shot and you blew it. 567 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 2: You created a hostile environment for law enforcement. You created 568 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 2: this fake sanctuary city concept. There's no such thing in 569 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 2: federal law, no such thing. And Trump is basically pulled 570 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 2: your pants down. Newsom, pulled your pants down on this 571 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 2: fake sanctuary city nonsense. 572 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 1: And now you're coming out. 573 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 10: And saying, well, there's a Sunday school teacher who is accosted, 574 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 10: but stop it. 575 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 2: The only emotionally manipulated boobs who believe that are the 576 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,280 Speaker 2: media members standing there, going, oh. 577 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 10: Really, really a Sunday school teacher?
