1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: We are on the radio from one until four, and

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand you demand,

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 2: we give you what you want, and we post that

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: show after four o'clock. What's the same as this? You know,

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: whatever nonsense is here is on the podcast as well.

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 2: We are going to start with there's a lot of

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: immigration news today, and one facet is the Republicans in

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: the House are headed towards an impeachment inquiry against the

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: Homeland Security Secretary Alejandra Majorcis for allowing millions of illegal

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: aliens to come over the border.

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it starts with that. They're going to be.

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: Reviewed in committee on Tuesday, these articles of impeachment. Let's

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: talk to j O'Brien from ABC News. Jay, how are you?

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 3: I'm good? How are you?

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm fine?

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: So what are going to be the charges if this

19
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: inquiry goes through?

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: So it's twofold you mentioned it a little bit. So

21
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: the impeachment articles got released over the weekend. They're going

22
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 3: to get marked up, potentially changed, but probably not in

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 3: a committee meeting tomorrow, and then theoretically, once they come

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: out of the committee, they go to the House floor

25
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: for a vote. Republicans control the House, so they'd be

26
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 3: expected to pass. What's in the articles we saw over

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: the weekend is an accusation that Secretary of Mayorcis did

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: not follow US immigration law in the administration's handling of

29
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 3: the crisis of the Southern border. Specifically, the big point

30
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 3: Republicans make in these impeachment articles is that they say

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: US law required Majorcis to enact pretty much widespread detention

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: of practically every single migrant that border patrol encountered at

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: the Southern borter, and they said Majorcas didn't do that.

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: That's really the crux of their impeachment articles. And then

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: there is one other element of things where they say

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: that he misled Congress when he said, among other things,

37
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: that the border was quote unquote secure. But the reality

38
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 3: is it hinges On accusing him of not following US

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: immigration law. On the flip side of that, the Department

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: of Homeland Security says that this is all political, and

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 3: they accuse Republicans in the House of weaponizing a disagreement

42
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: on policy, rather than saying that the Secretary flouted the law,

43
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: as Republicans accuse him of doing.

44
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: It's always everyone's hazy on what the law says. Is

45
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: the administration required to stop illegal aliens from crossing the border,

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: especially when it totals I don't know, three million. I mean,

47
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: at what point is the governor is the government compelled

48
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 2: to act?

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 3: So that's the argument that Republicans make, is that the

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: letter of the law says X, and the administration didn't

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 3: do it. Now, what DHS would say is that long

52
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: standing the way that US has approached immigration law forever

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 3: has been that just like in the Department of Justice,

54
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: is up to their discretion as to how they execute

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: the laws of the U s. United States, the Department

56
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: of Homeland Security has similar kinds of discretion, and so

57
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: it's up to the department, says the Secretary of Homeland Security,

58
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: whoever he or she is, to to enact this law

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: in policy, how many immigrants are detained, how many are

60
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: you know, processed for asylum claims, how many are not detained,

61
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. And so in their counter argument,

62
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: it's interesting, DHS kind of says a version of well,

63
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: if this standard is the ones that Republicans are setting,

64
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: then they should have impeached every single DHS secretary since

65
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: the department was created, so you can expect them to

66
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: kind of ramp up that line of attack.

67
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: You know, obviously we've had thousands of the legal immigrants

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: cross under every administration, but this is this is such

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: a huge number now where we're talking several million.

70
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, at any point.

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: Does does does the does their legal argument make sense?

72
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: Like when you've led in three million, maybe you've abused

73
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: your discretion. This is not what discression was meant to be.

74
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: And remember also, I mean you say legal argument, but

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: this is impeachment is in a legal process. Impeachment is

76
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: a political process. I mean we learned that from the

77
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: Trump impeachments, right. The reality is that what happens with

78
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: impeachment is it goes to a vote in the House

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 3: of Representatives. And you and I both know every vote

80
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: in the House of Representatives is far more political than

81
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 3: it is legal. And so then so what happens is

82
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 3: once these impeachment articles get solidified in committee, they're going

83
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 3: to go for this vote and then they'll probably be

84
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 3: voted up in the House because it's controlled by Republicans

85
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 3: and then it will go onto the Democrat controlled Senate

86
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: where they will be a trial. And this is kind

87
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: of what I get to versus political versus legal process,

88
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: and the trial is a political process. Let's be real here.

89
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen that in the past. There's only

90
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: been one other cabinet secretary, by the way, impeached in

91
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: American history. If my Orcist becomes the second, we've seen

92
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: more presidents impeached in American history than we have seen

93
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 3: cabinet secretaries impeached. And the reality here is when I

94
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: talk about political process gets kicked out of the Democrat

95
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 3: controlled Senate, it seems very, very very unlikely despite the

96
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: legal arguments that House Republicans are making, that they are

97
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 3: going to vote to convict and remove majorcis, especially because

98
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: it takes a two thirds majority in the Senate. As

99
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: you know, as we learned in the Trumptee, So is

100
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 3: the Senate works and remove anybody?

101
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: Is the Senate required to have a trial or is

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 2: there any way that they could dance around it and

103
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: never get to a real trial.

104
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: It's so funny because I've been kind of trying to

105
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 3: figure that out. So we think they all required to

106
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: have a trial. We've only ever seen a cabinet secretary

107
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: impeached once in American history, right, it was in the

108
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: eighteenth seventies. But we are understanding as constitutionally the Senate

109
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: is required to have a trial. But as we kind

110
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: of saw with the Mitch McConnell of things during the

111
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: second Trump impeachment, when they schedule it is somewhat up

112
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 3: to them, but it looks like they will have to

113
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,239
Speaker 3: have it.

114
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: Is there any defense for mariorcus that he's carrying out

115
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: the power of the president.

116
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: And that's his job way.

117
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: Not necessarily that he can kind of clothe himself in

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: the president as a shield, but the defense will be

119
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: that he's carrying out policy in general. And essentially the

120
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 3: argument that DHS is planning to make and is somewhat

121
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 3: already made, and they've lined up some constitutional law scholars

122
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: to back them up on this, is say that you

123
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: can't impeach over a policy disagreement. You can only impeach

124
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: based upon a violation of the law. And so that's

125
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 3: really the question that they are going to come to

126
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: heads on between thuse Republicans and DHS.

127
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: And that's the murky part.

128
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: I mean, We've covered this stuff for over twenty years,

129
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 2: and I've never really understood when is the administration breaking

130
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: a law and when is it just using its discretion

131
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 2: and they have a policy that I might disagree with,

132
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: when does it become law breaking? And that's never been

133
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,919
Speaker 2: clearly laid out that I'm aware of.

134
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: And for me, frankly, I don't know if I have

135
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 3: a good answer for you on that question, because I

136
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: think that has been really the crux of immigration debate

137
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: in this country for decades, certainly in the last few

138
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 3: years as the border crisis is worsened, and we've seen

139
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: how Republicans say, look, they believe that this is so

140
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 3: egregious that it veers into a breaking of immigration law.

141
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: The reality here is, though, how does that get born

142
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: out and decided? And is the United Congress the way

143
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: that you accomplish that in an impeachment? What is a

144
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: nakedly political process versus doing that through court where you

145
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: can get a little bit more of a legal answer

146
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: to that question.

147
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: All right, well, very good, thanks a lot.

148
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: Jay Jail Brian here ABC News covering the possible impending

149
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: impeachment of the House Homeland Security Secretary Alle hundred Mayorkins.

150
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Thank you a lot for coming on. Thank you.

151
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: All right, it's Jai O'Brien. Now, how it's affecting Los Angeles.

152
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: Have you noticed.

153
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: I've noticed this, but I'm paid to notice this. Have

154
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: you noticed that there hasn't been the big ruckus about

155
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 2: illegal aliens being transported into Los Angeles the way there's

156
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: been this huge crisis in New York and Chicago, for example,

157
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: where you've had people in New York and Chicago living

158
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: in the streets being transferred to schools and gymnasiums, football fields,

159
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: displacing school children from their daily routine. You had hundreds

160
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 2: living in the streets of New York City, and it

161
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: just seemed like and what I noticed is is like, well,

162
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: wait a second, Ellie has always been a huge bagnet

163
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 2: for legal immigrants, A lot of the migrants, no people

164
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 2: here in Los Angeles is a sanctuary city as well.

165
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: Why hasn't there been the big fuss?

166
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: Could it be that.

167
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: Behind the scene, Karen Bass was sending illegal aliens to

168
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: homeless shelters, displacing the homeless.

169
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: Well, we'll get into that.

170
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 2: Daniel Guss had a story in his Gush Report newsletter

171
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: on substack and we'll give you the details on what

172
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: might be going on unbeknownst to the rest of the

173
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: media who doesn't pay attention.

174
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

175
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: six forty.

176
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: Coming up at one point thirty, we're going to talk

177
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: with Carl Demayo, who is running for the State Assembly

178
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 2: in the San Diego area, a longtime talk show host, activist, politician,

179
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: and he is running down there, and he has an

180
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 2: ad that recalls Pete Wilson and the fight for Prop

181
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 2: one to eighty seven if you remember thirty years ago,

182
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: and Pete Wilson is very explicit that we had to

183
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 2: do something to cut off the lure with schooling and

184
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: healthcare that California is providing for illegal aliens, and it

185
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: caused a big up or if you're old enough to remember, well,

186
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 2: Carl Demios says, we want to go back to that

187
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: Pete Wilson like policy and is running an ad explicitly

188
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 2: using a portion of one of Wilson's ads for a

189
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: governor from the nineteen nineties to make his point. We'll

190
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: get into that. Apparently it's causing all sorts of noise. Now,

191
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: we just came off the phone with j O'Brien because

192
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: he's covering the impending likely impeachment hearing of Homeland Security

193
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: Secretary Alejandro Majorcis, who's stood by like a dumb puppet

194
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: following Biden or whoever runs the Biden at White House.

195
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 2: Their instructions led three million illegal aliens into this country.

196
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: All the numbers in all the categoryories are so overwhelmingly incredible,

197
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: and that's part of the thing. It is so overwhelming.

198
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: I don't think people can register what this means for

199
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: individual cities such as you've probably seen the mayhem in

200
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: New York and Chicago, where you just have enormous I

201
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: mean hundreds of thousands of people with nowhere to go,

202
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: and so they put them up in public buildings. They're

203
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: living in public spaces. That might be going on here

204
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles too, but under the radar. For one thing,

205
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: we have either a nonexistent or comatose news media, and

206
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: Daniel Guss is stepping into the breach. He's the independent

207
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 2: journalist that we've had on many times. He has the

208
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 2: Gus Report online. You go to Danielgus dot substack dot com,

209
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 2: and he's investigating what's going on in La, and he

210
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 2: has a provocative question to open this report. Are La

211
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: Mayor Karen Bass and the La City Council led by

212
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: Paul Crecorian defrauding the public and the media about inside State,

213
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: Inside Safe? You know, inside Safe. She's bragging that inside

214
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: Safe is bringing homeless people in off the street and

215
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: they're putting them up in various shelters and motels and

216
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 2: whatever other empty buildings they could find. It says in

217
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: his story, he went to a rec center in North Hollywood,

218
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 2: and it looks as if Bath is stashing the illegal

219
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 2: aliens in city parks, in the recreation centers, and in

220
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: the hotels, displacing the homeless people. So the homeless people

221
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: are being kicked out of the rec centers and hotels

222
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: so that the migrants can live there. But Karen Bass

223
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: is instructing everyone to tell the media and the public like, no, no,

224
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: it's homeless people. Well, they're homeless people because they left

225
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: their homes in Central and South America. But they're not

226
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: the homegrown homeless that we've been dealing with for so

227
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: many years. The homegrown homeless have been kicked out for

228
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: these illegal alien homeless. Here's a quote that Gus has

229
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: in his story. There's a city employee stationed at a

230
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: rec center originally told him that the park where he

231
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: worked housed homeless people, and then a few sec seconds

232
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: later said, well, we were told to say that the

233
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: people living here are homeless, but they are migrant crossers,

234
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: borner crossers. Gus says he personally visited some of these

235
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: parks and rec centers and said the facility was loaded

236
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: with p people who didn't at all appear to be homeless.

237
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: Gus said, when he spoke with several of them outside,

238
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: they confirmed for me that they recently arrived from Venezuela, Haiti,

239
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 2: and Cuba, and confirmed where the others in the facility

240
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: came from, that they were coming from other countries. Another

241
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: city employee said, the usual meetings here have been canceled

242
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: because they've been using it as a shelter. Now, what

243
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: are the usual meetings, Well, like twelve step programs for

244
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: recovering narcotics addicts. In fact, any public event that's normally

245
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: held at the public recreation center has been canceled for

246
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: a number of weeks, the center is unavailable. Give you

247
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: an example, the narcotics anonymous meetings. If you went there

248
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 2: on Friday, you found out that the Wednesday and Friday

249
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: night meetings at the North Hollywood Park Senior Center, which

250
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: usually has one hundred recovering addicts who attend, dozens bust

251
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: in from other treatment centers. Well, this Narcotics Anonymous meeting

252
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: has been shut down for over a month because the

253
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: city is using it to house illegal immigrants. But nobody

254
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 2: knows this, according to this source, because they lied and

255
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: told us it was to give shelter to the homeless

256
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: during the cold. This source went on to say, wait

257
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: for this one. That there's a preschool next door and

258
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: says that the children who use the preschool now have

259
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: to zoom. How do you get preschoolers to learn on zoom?

260
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: That's not possible because the migrants' possessions are being stored

261
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: at the preschool, along with items used for the community

262
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: meetings like the North Hollywood Neighborhood Council. So everyone's been

263
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 2: kicked out. You can't have the neighborhood council meeting, you

264
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 2: can't have Narcotics Anonymous, you can't have preschool classes and

265
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 2: whatever stuff these organizations kept at the rec center for

266
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: their meetings has now been uh has now been transferred

267
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: somewhere else. There's no signposted about where we should go.

268
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: We looked online, carpooled to another meeting in Hollywood, which

269
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: is not around the corner and not that safe. These

270
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: are the narcotics anonymous addicts. So drug addicts, drug addicts

271
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 2: trying to recover have been kicked out. Preschool children have

272
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 2: been kicked out by Karen Bass, and they're lying about it.

273
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: These aren't homeless people, these are legal aliens.

274
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: Some others confirmed to Gus that while the community center

275
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: near where they live was filled to capacity, it was

276
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: not occupied by fellow homeless people, but by migrants. Homeless

277
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: people confirmed to Gus that they were kicked out.

278
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: So you have.

279
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: They're narcotics anonymous attendees, you have the preschoolers, you have

280
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: the local neighborhood council, and you have the homeless themselves

281
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 2: all kicked out of the city buildings for the migrants.

282
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: And it appears that Bass and Crekorian maybe inflating the

283
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: homeless population count, but by keeping actual homeless people on

284
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: the sidewalk and counting and counting migrants as homeless too.

285
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: So he's going to dig in and he's going to

286
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: go demand public access to some of these records and

287
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: see what the details are. And we certainly support them

288
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: on that, because hey, nobody home at the LA Times anymore.

289
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: So this is it. Daniel will do the work, We will.

290
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 2: Publicize an ample, fly the work and try to get

291
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: at the truth. But it's very possible that Karen Bass

292
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: is pulling a scam here, kicking homeless people out to

293
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: the street so that the illegal aliens have a roof

294
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: over their heads, kicking preschoolers out and telling him to

295
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: go learn on zoom?

296
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 1: How do you stack blocks on zoom? Is there an

297
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: app for that? I haven't tried it.

298
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

299
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 4: six forty.

300
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: We're going to keep going here. You know Carl Damiel,

301
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: We've had him on many times. He's a talkshow host

302
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: down in San Diego. He also has been involved in

303
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 2: politics there. He's been a statewide activist on a lot

304
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: of good causes, trying to support normal people. He is

305
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: now running, he's now running for Assembly here in California,

306
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: and he has a thirty second ad. We're going to

307
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: play it here and then talk to him, and he

308
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: wants he wants California. Well, I said in a promo

309
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: earlier he's summoning the ghost of Pete Wilson, which is

310
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 2: not entirely accurate because Pete Wilson is still alive. But

311
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 2: Pete Wilson's spirit of fighting a legal immigration on a

312
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 2: state level was very controversial in the mid nineties. But

313
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: Tomio says this is the way to go. Here's his ad.

314
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: Two million illegal immigrants in California.

315
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 4: For Californians who work hard, pay taxes, and obey the laws.

316
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: I'm suing to force the federal government to control the border.

317
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 5: That was thirty years ago, and today the border problem

318
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 5: is a national security crisis. While California politicians from both

319
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 5: parties do nothing, Vote for fighter Carl Demyo to secure

320
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 5: the border. Carl Demyo is taking on the Sacramento swamps

321
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 5: and sanctuary cities and finally enact a voter id law.

322
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 5: Vote Carl Demyo to secure the border. All right, let's

323
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 5: get Carl Demyo on.

324
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: Hey there, how are you doing.

325
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm doing well?

326
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: Now, the district you're running in what towns roughly does

327
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: it to cover? So people listening, if they're in that town,

328
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: they know they can vote for you.

329
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. It is the last Republican Assembly seat in San

330
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: Diego County. It is the rural areas all the way

331
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 3: to Barrego Springs, the southern Border, Lakeside, Alpine, Pine Valley,

332
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: Julian Fallbrook, Ramona Valley Center, Santee, all of the East

333
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: County in North County in San Diego, and it is

334
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 3: a Republican seat, but the Democrats are trying to back

335
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 3: a left wing Republican to try to win the seat

336
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 3: because they like their Republicans in Sacramento to go along,

337
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 3: to get along. And I think that that's what's gotten

338
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: us into the situation we're facing today where California is

339
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 3: on the decline because we don't have a two party system.

340
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 3: We have a Uni party. We have one party. It

341
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 3: is broken and it's time to shake the system up.

342
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 2: For people who don't remember, just briefly, because I know

343
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: we could talk about this while why did Pete Wilson

344
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 2: get so much grief for pushing Prop one to eighty seven,

345
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: which was going to deny i llegal aliens in this

346
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 2: state medical care and schooling. And it was passed sixty

347
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 2: to forty roughly if I remember.

348
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so Pete Wilson did what Governor Abbott is

349
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 3: trying to do today. Back in nineteen ninety four, he said,

350
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: I'm suing the federal government to force them to do

351
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 3: their job. That's the first thing. He put more of

352
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 3: the California State Guard down on the border to try

353
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 3: to help border patrol. And finally he said, we've got

354
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 3: to stop giving an incentive for people to come here

355
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: in the form of very generous public welfare benefits, and

356
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 3: so Prop onety seven was designed to try to address that. Look,

357
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 3: I want to say that the best way for us

358
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 3: to deal with this issue is to secure the border.

359
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: Let's not have them come here in the first place.

360
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 3: But certainly, if you're incentivizing the human enterprise, the human

361
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 3: trafficking enterprise, with welfare benefits, that just makes these cartel

362
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: members and coyotes job easier because they go down to

363
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: Central America and they tell people, Look, if I can

364
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: get you across the border, you get free taxpayer funded healthcare,

365
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: you get a free lawyer, you get free housing, you

366
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 3: get free welfare. And of course that sounds really good

367
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: to these people who are struggling, and it just creates

368
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 3: an incentive for more illegal immigration. So in California, we've

369
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: got to stop that. We've got to secure the border.

370
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 3: We've got to take care of our own first. And

371
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 3: if people want to come to this country, God bless them.

372
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: I am absolutely for legal immigration. There's no racism here.

373
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 3: We take a million legal immigrants into our country each

374
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: and every year. And for the media and the Democrats

375
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 3: to suggest somehow those of us who want to secure

376
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: border are racist, that is a slap in the face

377
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: to the American people who've been very generous in opening

378
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 3: our arms every year to legal immigration. What we have

379
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 3: a problem with is the illegal immigration.

380
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 2: Do that to shut down conversation, and it's worked for

381
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: two long and I think the best thing to do

382
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: is just to not even acknowledge when they scream racism

383
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 2: over and over and go back to the point. We've

384
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: got a legal system that lets in a million a year.

385
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: You can adjust that number as our needs require. But

386
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: this illegal immigration of several million a year is chaos

387
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: and nobody's benefiting from this.

388
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 3: And it's a national security threat because as you saw,

389
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: the number of people crossing the border who've been detained,

390
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 3: who are on the terror watch list is skyrocketing. We're

391
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 3: talking about over three hundred in just the past several

392
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 3: years that Biden has been in office, which is an

393
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,479
Speaker 3: exponential increase compared to the Trump administration. And these are

394
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: only the ones that border patrol has been able to

395
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 3: actually apprehend. Just think how many hundreds or thousands of

396
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 3: other folks have gotten in who are real dangerous people

397
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: who can can commit a lot of bad crimes here

398
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 3: as well as put the security of our country at risk.

399
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 3: So we've got to secure that border. Right now, We're

400
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 3: getting a lot of positive feedback on this ad a

401
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: lot of Republicans and independents and even get Democrats saying

402
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 3: thank you for speaking up and finally making border and

403
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 3: illegal immigration issue again in California. But there are so

404
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: many of these liberal you know, uh, media outlets. They're

405
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,479
Speaker 3: saying this is it's controversial. Even Republican political consultants are

406
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 3: shying away. And my response to them is, this is

407
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 3: not about politics. It's about security, and we've got to

408
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: do our job. So this issue has to be addressed.

409
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 2: No, it's it's outrageous, and that's why these people can't

410
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 2: win anymore with the with their with their stupid loaded

411
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: phrases about racism and xenophobia, and this is divisive and controversial.

412
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: All you're doing is shutting down the conversation about something

413
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 2: that really is important, and it's really getting dangerous. I

414
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 2: got a story in front of me that I'm going

415
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: to get to in a few minutes, and this is

416
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: out of the Miami herald A Venezuelan criminal gang has

417
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: extended its operations into South Florida and it's caused a

418
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: lot of death and havoc in South America. And now

419
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 2: there's a lot of crime in South Florida from this gang.

420
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: That's what you're going to get, not to mention all

421
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 2: the people on that terrorist's watch list, which have these

422
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 2: guys have entered the country. This is very bad news here.

423
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 3: It is very bad news. And I'm sick and tired

424
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: of Republican elected officials in California taking advice from liberal

425
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: media and Democrats. The liberal media and Democrats keep saying

426
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 3: shut your mouth about illegal immigration. It's only going to

427
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: cost your seats. Well, you know what, this is one

428
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 3: of the most important pressing issues of our time. We've

429
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: got to address it. It takes courage, it takes principle,

430
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 3: and that's what I think people are hungry for By

431
00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: the way, I just received word that we have I

432
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 3: have now won the endorsement of the Latino American Political Association.

433
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 3: They saw the ad and they said, this is what

434
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: Latinos want as well. What can we do to help?

435
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: And I said, you can endorse me. And so the

436
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: Latino American Political Association today has come out with their

437
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: endorsement of me, and I'm very pleased to have it.

438
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's good because all this cheap labor drives down

439
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: the wages of Hispanic blue collar workers in California.

440
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: We blue came here legally.

441
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: The people who came.

442
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: Here legally, Yes they came from some of these same countries,

443
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: but they came legally. They're trying to work here and

444
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: their wayes get undercut because those so.

445
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: Many other people are willing to work for.

446
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: Much less under the table, and that's a crime against

447
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 2: the legal Hispanics who are trying to reach their American dream.

448
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: It's terrible. It's been going on for a long time.

449
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: And the more the media, the more the media screams racism,

450
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: the more I think average Joe and Jane voter here's

451
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 3: that the media will not deal with this issue. They

452
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 3: want to divert attention from the issue, and I think

453
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 3: we're going to even gain more support. So I call

454
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 3: on everybody. If you want to have your state back,

455
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 3: if you want to fight and take your state back

456
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: from the left, you've got to get behind the sort

457
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: of effort that we have under way to try to

458
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 3: change politics in the state. If people can go to

459
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 3: the website reform California dot org, Reform California dot org,

460
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 3: help us keep this add on air, chipping a contribution

461
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 3: or sign up as a volunteer.

462
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: Very good, Carl. We'll talk with you agen soon. Thank

463
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: you for coming on. Thank you all right, and then

464
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: up next, I'm going to tell you about this Venezuelan

465
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: criminal gang that is now spreading through Miami. They've come

466
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 2: as part of the Great Migration, the illegal migration from

467
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 2: Venezuela here, and it's a lot of bloody violence in

468
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: its wake.

469
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

470
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 4: six forty.

471
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 2: Steve Gregory is coming up soon at two o'clock because

472
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: there has been a rash again of street takeovers. But

473
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 2: LAPD has busted some of these characters and impounded their cars.

474
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: We're going to find out where and how much in

475
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 2: just a few minutes.

476
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,239
Speaker 1: All right. I mentioned this with Carl Demyo.

477
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 2: There are a lot of bad guys coming in over

478
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 2: the border from various countries.

479
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: There really are.

480
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: I think I heard today driving in there were like

481
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: fifty terrorists that have snuck into the country. They're on

482
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: the terrorist watch list, but Homeland Security believes that they

483
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 2: are now loose in this country. It's really good that

484
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: Homeland Security has a stupid policy to let everybody in

485
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 2: and then they inform us. Oh yeah, some of those

486
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 2: are on the terrorist watch list, and I'd be fifty.

487
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: Right.

488
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: The Miami Herald has this story. A Venezuelan criminal gang

489
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 2: that has expanded its operations throughout Latin America has now

490
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: showed up in South Florida and one of its members

491
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: were involved in a murder a police officer, a retired

492
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 2: Venezuelan police officer named Jose Luis Sanchez Valera was lured

493
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: by a woman into a hotel room in Miami and

494
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 2: then killed after he was abducted in the parking lot.

495
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 2: And they have charged with Urwin. They have charged Urwin

496
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 2: Salazar with murder. He's a Venezuelan immigrant. Salazar is member

497
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 2: of the Trend de Araguas, the infamous gang that has

498
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 2: been terrorizing citizens of Venezuela for more than a decade.

499
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: The abduction of the retired police officer, plus the carjacking,

500
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: the home invasion and the murder, is the first documented

501
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 2: instance of a crime in South Florida committed by a

502
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: member of the gang, for its size and it's wanton

503
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: use of violence. According to a Venezuela and security expert

504
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: javieric Nacio Majorca, as of last year, we've been hearing

505
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: reports that members of the gang had left Columbia and

506
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 2: are walking all the way to the United States. There

507
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: wasn't much factual evidence, but now we have this murder.

508
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: I think a vicious murder is factual evidence. And the

509
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: retired cop left his home and went to the Laquita

510
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 2: Inn hotel to meet a woman inside room three ten.

511
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: This must have been some dating app hookup, or maybe

512
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: he had hired a prostitute. Four hours later, he left

513
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: accompanied by two women, and when he got to his vehicle,

514
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: the women had peeled off into the lobby. Three guys

515
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: jumped him and dragged him out of the car, threw

516
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 2: him in the back seat, and hours later police responded

517
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 2: to reports of a home invasion taking place at Sanchez's

518
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: old apartment, and eventually he was found dead, his body

519
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: hands and feet bound, with tape found inside his vehicle.

520
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: The cause of death was mechanical asphyxia. I guess they strangled.

521
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: And what.

522
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: According to Miami Herald, cases like the Sanchez murder are

523
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: common in Venezuela. Gang members abduct victims suspected of having

524
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: secret fortunes and torture them to gain access to their wealth.

525
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that, boy, Yeah, this will be fun

526
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 2: if it spreads right. They're gonna kidnap wealthy people in

527
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: torture them until the wealthy people give up some.

528
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: Of their some of their money.

529
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: And there's two thousand, five hundred members of this gang

530
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: that are part of the immigration wave fleeing Venezuela. They

531
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: have set up shop in neighboring countries and they are

532
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 2: committing crimes in Columbia, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Costa Rica

533
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 2: and now America. Great, there's twenty five hundred of them

534
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: running around and the border is wide open. Who's running

535
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 2: the country. Who is the guy in the White House

536
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 2: who said this is a good idea. We were run

537
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: by people who are actively trying to destroy our country. Well,

538
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 2: you let in three million people and many of them

539
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: are criminals, gang members, terrorists.

540
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: What do you try to do? It's happening right in.

541
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: Front of our eyes and everyone's standing around our I

542
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: don't really believe that. That sounds like a lot of hype,

543
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 2: Isn't it all right? We come back? Well, we have

544
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: our own gangs here in Los Angeles and they like

545
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: to do these street take overs. And finally LAPD is

546
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: making some headway fighting back. We'll talk with Steve Gregory

547
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: about it in just minutes, Debora, Mark, what.
