1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,239
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: We're on the radio from one until four, and then

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: after four o'clock we've become a podcast John Cobelt Show

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 2: on demand. We are running a special first poll we've

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: ever done on the new show at John Cobelt Radio

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: at Twitter. Oh, actually no, the second poll. The first

8
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 2: one was trying to decide whether Deborah or Ray's dog

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: who was cuter. I forgot. That was like the test

10
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: see if the concept worked. The second pole then, and

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: not quite as important. Who do you want to be

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: the next La County DA? We got twelve candidates up there.

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: Like I said, just vote for one. Ignore the percentages

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 2: on the right side of the screen. Twitter made us

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: break up the twelve candidates into three divisions. Even the

16
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: Twitter algorithm instinctively knows we have too many candidates here,

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: so ignore the percentages on the right side. Just vote

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 2: for candidate you want out of the twelve, and we

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: will give you an accurate readout tomorrow at one o'clock,

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 2: twenty four hours of poll and there's gonna be a lot.

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: Of gascone news.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: We're twenty two days away from the primary, where if

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: two candidates beat Gascone, then Gascon's done for the rest

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: of the year. He won't be in the runoff, he

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 2: will not be in the November general election. So we

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: need two candidates to step forward. You have to vote

27
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: for the right people here. Let's not split the vote

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: eleven different ways. That's not good, and I will explain

29
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: along the way why that's not good. We don't This

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: is really I don't understand why eleven people had to

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: run against Gascon. Where are these back room, smoke filled

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: meetings that where people are anointed eleven people, especially when

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: ten of the eleven had the same message. Do not,

34
00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: by the way, do not consider Jeff Schamerinsky's another Gascon. Okay,

35
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: he's been slipped in there and he's financed because even

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: the progressive realized Gascone is dead in the water, but

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: they still want to keep these wacky policies. So no Gascon,

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: No Jeff Schamerinski. Jeez, all right, let's talk to Emma Revis. Now,

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: Emma Revas, well, first I want to play a clip

40
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: of Emma taking on George Gascon last week at an

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 2: La County DA debate and her son was murdered in

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, and Gascon would not file gang enhancement charges

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: against the killer.

44
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: So play the clip of Emma.

45
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: My child was killed by a gang member and you

46
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: had more sympathy for that gang member than my child

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 3: who was killed in front of my home. Can you

48
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: explain to me because I've been looking for.

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: You for four years.

50
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 4: Look, I'm broken harder for your loss. Okay, yes, I

51
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 4: am no. The definition of insanity is doing the same

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: thing over and over again and expecting different result. Will

53
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: as a country and Wiel's a community have been doing

54
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 4: the same thing for generations.

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 5: How many of you think that there should be gang enhancements?

56
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 2: Okay, that was Alex Michaelson, the moderator. Let's get ema on,

57
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Emma Reavis, how are you? Thank you for coming on.

58
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: I'm doing good.

59
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 6: Thank you for having me.

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: That makes me so mad to hear myself addressing the

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: DA about how can he have more sympathy for the killer?

62
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: This guy didn't steal a bottle of beer. He killed

63
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: somebody in front of my home. He shot two of

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 3: my kids, one of them died and the other one survived,

65
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: and he had more sympathy for that murderer than my

66
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: own child. And my child was not at the wrong

67
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: place and at the wrong you know.

68
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 6: He wasn't doing anything wrong.

69
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: He was standing in front of his house.

70
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 6: He was in front of your house. Your house is

71
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 6: your your safe zone. Right.

72
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: Can you tell us your son's name, because most of

73
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: the news were reorts, don't mention his name.

74
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, his name is Christopher Beasley. He was twenty

75
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: five years old. And my other son. I'll keep him

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 3: out of the news because he did survive the shooting, right,

77
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: and he's kind of you know, he has PTSD and

78
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: he just doesn't like talking about the case anymore.

79
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: No, I understand what can he briefly run through the

80
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 2: circumstances of how this happened.

81
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: Well, they both my sons were standing in front of

82
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: their home. This gang member was buying dope.

83
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 6: From across the street.

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: From where I live. I have a drug dealer that

85
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 3: lives across the street. They never arrested this guy, but

86
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: the gang member crossed the street, took out of forty

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: five and shot my oldest son in the back of

88
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: his head. The bullet exited his head and exited his

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: left eye. Then he kept on shooting both my kids.

90
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: My son died on the scene, but my other son survived.

91
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 3: And for all and for Cascon to sit there and

92
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 3: say that he.

93
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 6: Felt his heartbroken. No, he's not.

94
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: No, he's not.

95
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 3: He's straight up lied. He's he's more for the criminal side.

96
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 6: I don't know who.

97
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 3: Who the only person that can really say they like

98
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,799
Speaker 3: us either a criminal. You got to be a criminal

99
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 3: to like this guy.

100
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: And so Gascon refused to prosecute using a gang enhancement.

101
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: Yes, and the paroli, the paroli with the gun. That's

102
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: two enhancements that were on the table when Jackie Lacy

103
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: was our DA. Now, when Caskon took off his December seventh,

104
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: he ordered all his prosecutors, every single one of them,

105
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: to get rid of all the enhancements.

106
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 2: So jack had already authorized the enhancements to be part

107
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 2: of the charges.

108
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: Yes, they were on the table. Yes, they were on

109
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 3: the table. So the prosecutor at the time did have

110
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: those on the table. But Cascon took office and he

111
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: ordered the prosecutors to take all the enhancements. You know

112
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: what that did to me that day. My heart was

113
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: sickened by the fact that you're.

114
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 6: Why would you do that?

115
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, How can you have a

116
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: heart for a criminal? He needs still a beer?

117
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 6: He killed somebody in front of my home.

118
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: Anybody can imagine if your child gets killed and he

119
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 3: was a gang member and a parolie and he takes

120
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: those charges off, so he killed them with his eyes.

121
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: I mean, well, how do he kill my kids? Why

122
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 3: aren't those charges put on the table. And then he's

123
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 3: letting criminals that are sixteen seventy year murdered children, kids,

124
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: adults or anybody, and he lets them.

125
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 6: Out in five years.

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 3: You don't want to get killed by a teenager right

127
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: now because he won't.

128
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 6: He doesn't. He doesn't transfer them to adult court.

129
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 2: No, no, he doesn't. That was another one of his

130
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 2: blank directives. There was a whole slew of blanket directives

131
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: and the details of specific case don't matter to Gascon.

132
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 6: Wait, he doesn't care.

133
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: No.

134
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: When you heard that Gascon was removing the enhancements, how

135
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: did you feel?

136
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: How did you react that day?

137
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 6: My heart almost stopped.

138
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 3: That's how I met Jonathan Tommy because he was the

139
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: leader to the recall.

140
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 6: He's the caundidate running for.

141
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: Da Yes, uh yes, I met him on the doorsteps

142
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: of the Justice Hall of Justice. He is the first

143
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: DA who came out.

144
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 6: To oppose Gascon's directives.

145
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: I've known Jonathan Hatammi for many years now, and let

146
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: me tell you that.

147
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 6: Man has integrity.

148
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 3: He shows that that he does care for Los Angeles County.

149
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 3: And I trust that that John Atan hat Tommy will

150
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: at enhancements, will look at every case.

151
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 6: And he is a prosecutor.

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: George Cascone is a defense attorney who's never been to court,

153
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: never tried a case, and here he is.

154
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,119
Speaker 6: He has a high power job.

155
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 3: And let me tell you one more thing that shouldn't

156
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: make everybody. He has a defense attorney who's this assistant

157
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: who who who? I won't even get into details, but

158
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 3: they don't stood together, are ruining la.

159
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that you're talking about Tiffany Black.

160
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: Yes, I didn't want to bring her name, but yes, people.

161
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: People ought to know.

162
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: Now.

163
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: She's a public guest, public copy she despises, she is a.

164
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: Competer, she does not she will put a copying jail

165
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: before she put a gang member in.

166
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 6: John can guarantee you that can you believe that.

167
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: Was this the first time you ever confronted Gascon, either

168
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: publicly or project.

169
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 3: Let me tell you That is funny that you asked that,

170
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 3: because I've been trying to get a hold of this

171
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: man for I believe it's three and a half years.

172
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 6: I said four years, but let me readtrack. It's actually

173
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 6: three and.

174
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: A half years from day one. I've been to many rallies,

175
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: calling them out out of his office, in front of

176
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 3: his office with Jonathan ha Tommy. I've been to uh

177
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: with the news to his well, I don't want to say,

178
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: but the news outlet invited me to his home.

179
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 6: Because he's he don't want to do it at his office.

180
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: I went to his home, Yeah, and he still refused

181
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: to come and meet a real parent. I wanted to

182
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: talk to him because you took the Enhabsmith's off the

183
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: table and I wanted to know your reason. Then he

184
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 3: already gave it to us because it's insanity to repeat

185
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 3: the same thing over and over.

186
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: It's sanity.

187
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 2: So yeah, put to put killers away for longer sentences,

188
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: because that's what enhancements do. They lengthen the sentence, and

189
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: if there's any possibility for a parole, it pushes that

190
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: possibility far much farther down the road.

191
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: That they exist for a reason.

192
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 6: Thank you so much.

193
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: You said it correctly, But he thinks that we are.

194
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 6: Uh, we're not.

195
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 3: We're we're doing the same thing over and over.

196
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 6: And nothing's getting done.

197
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 3: Yes, if we keep at the rate that he's doing

198
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: his his his job, well everybody will be not in jail.

199
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: You'd like to live next to someone that went to

200
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 3: jail for five years for murder? Are you okay with that?

201
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: No?

202
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 6: Are you?

203
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody listening is okay with it, And

204
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: I don't think most people don't pay attention to most

205
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: things in the news, especially local news and regional news,

206
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: which is which is what we try to focus on here,

207
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: because you know, we don't have a newspaper, a daily

208
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: newspaper anymore in town.

209
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm about Los Angeles County newspaper LA Times endorsing gascon.

210
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Yes, I know.

211
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: That is insanity.

212
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 6: This is a lot.

213
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: You're saying that his policies are working. I think I

214
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: just heard that his policies are working. Show me the

215
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: steps that it's working.

216
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, show me the prove because.

217
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 3: Let me tell you, I worked for an organization for

218
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 3: parents that lost their to I can't say the name,

219
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 3: but let me tell you there's so many parents in

220
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: my organization that lost their children to teenagers under the

221
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: age of eighteen and they were slat with five years

222
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: going to jail. Now, you tell me, how are these

223
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 3: parents are supposed to say they got justice if the

224
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 3: guy Let me tell you.

225
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 6: I'll give you a quick example.

226
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: Well, can I wait, hang on, hang on? Can we

227
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: continue this in just a moment, because you got to

228
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: do the news here, take care of some business, all right,

229
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: and then we'll come back. We'll continue with Emma Reeves

230
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 2: because I also have more things to ask you about

231
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: the night last week that you took on George Gascon.

232
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: Her son was murdered in twenty sixteen. You heard the

233
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 2: terrible story. Gascon refuses to do a gang enhancement on

234
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: the killer or the guy was on parole. There's no

235
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: enhancement for that. And what she's talking about is you

236
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 2: do have teenagers who get charged with murder, who get

237
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: charged with severe felonies. They're not tried as adults anymore,

238
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 2: and they get maybe five years and they're back out

239
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: on the street in their twenties, ready to go. More

240
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: coming up with Emma Revas here, and if you want

241
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 2: to register your vote online, we're doing an online poll

242
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: at John Cobelt Radio on Twitter or x and you

243
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 2: can vote, and you have twelve candidates listed there. Ignore

244
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: the percentages on the right, those are not accurate. Just

245
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: ignore those. Tomorrow we'll give you the final vote totals.

246
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: You have twelve candidates, pick one.

247
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am

248
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 7: six forty.

249
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: We are in the middle of speaking with Emma Revas,

250
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: a mother whose son, one of his son her sons,

251
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: murdered in twenty sixteen by a gang member Jackie Lacey

252
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 2: had gang enhancements against the killer, and also he had

253
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: violated his parole another enhancement for that's issue, and Gascon

254
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: removed the enhancements, and Emma Revs so angry for all

255
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: these years. She confronted Gascon in person at the La

256
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: County debate in Beverly Hills, and Gascone gave one of

257
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: his canned responses, let's get let's let's get.

258
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: Emma Revs on here.

259
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: I want to follow up because you mentioned John Hat Tommy,

260
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: and obviously hit Tommy was there, and while Tommy was

261
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: making his comment about your case, an activist jumped up

262
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 2: and accused of Tommy of racism, and Tommy said, Emma,

263
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: that's you is a person of color. Her son was

264
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 2: a person of color and he was murdered. It's not

265
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: racist when you're fighting for justice. Talk about that because

266
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: Gascone's whole stick and his supporters are that the whole

267
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: justice system is racist and it puts young men of

268
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 2: color behind bars unfairly but predominantly the victims of these criminals.

269
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: Uh, that is absolute, not a true statement at all,

270
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 3: Cascon And that's that that woman that was protesting, I

271
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: don't think she understood that when when you want justice,

272
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: there is no color, there is no race involved. My

273
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: child was killed by a Latino and adding in a

274
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: gang enhancement, it is not racism.

275
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 6: Racism.

276
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: It had nothing to do with killing my child. Adding

277
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 3: a gang enhancement. It's doing the right thing because you

278
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 3: were a gang member and you killed someone under your

279
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: your whatever they think they are. I don't get the

280
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: gang thing, but I do know that it was very

281
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 3: important to be on the table when you're when someone

282
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: gets killed by a gang member, that's at times you

283
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: don't want that person out early. It's not like he

284
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 3: stole the beer, like I said, This guy murdered someone

285
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 3: and he was he is a known gang member, and

286
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: it's in the books of the sheriff. When you have

287
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 3: a number with the sheriff or the LAPD, you are

288
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: a known gang member.

289
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 6: How is that?

290
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 3: How did that become racism?

291
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 2: Please explain to me, because you prosecute people based on

292
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: what they did, not the color of their skin.

293
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: Thank you, John, you got it absolutely right. And so

294
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 3: did Johnathan Tommy when he stood up there and defended

295
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: my my, my, my side, and she was just going off.

296
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: I don't know where she was going, but she was

297
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: booed out.

298
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: There's a lot of book there's a lot of professional activists,

299
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: and they get paid to do things like that at

300
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 2: public meetings.

301
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: It's rampant.

302
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, John, let her child get killed by gang member,

303
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 3: and see she'd be the first one at it on

304
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 3: the table. See if she'll see if it's called racism.

305
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: You were trying before I interrupted you, before you were

306
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: talking that you belong to a member of a group

307
00:15:59,120 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: and you don't.

308
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: Want to mention wanted to organization.

309
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk talk talk about this group. Tell me what

310
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: you were going to say.

311
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: I am part of the parents and murdered children.

312
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 6: But we just cannot talk about, you know.

313
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: Endorsing anybody, but I can't say that. I have a

314
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: lot of mothers that lost their children to my killers

315
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 3: that were miners. I mean, we're talking this last case

316
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: that I just been to court for. This guy was

317
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: seventeen and two weeks shy of being eighteen. You heard correctly.

318
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: He murdered my friend's son, and he got the Gascon special.

319
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: He did not get transferred to to adult court. He

320
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: got transferred, he stayed in juvenile hall. He got slapped

321
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: with only five years.

322
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 6: A juvenile time.

323
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: So he killed my friend's Huh.

324
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: He killed your friend's son, and he's going to be

325
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 2: out at what age twenty three?

326
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: Aged twenty three? It might be even less because if

327
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: he behaves well, they go by behavior and how are

328
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 3: they rehabilitating, they can get out sooner, they can get

329
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 3: out in the year.

330
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 2: It's so you have this psychotic young man who's already murdered,

331
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: and he's going to be out at age twenty three.

332
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 3: Five years, yes, and that's gone. This mother cried tears

333
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 3: to meet with Gascon. She tried everything she was. She

334
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 3: begged them to please and transfer this this this guy

335
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 3: to adult her words, we avoid it they said that.

336
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 6: Nope, it's the right not the.

337
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: Right thing to do. It's the first time defense.

338
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: Who now, I mean it's an iron wall with Gascon. Yeah.

339
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't care. He just simply does not care.

340
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: He doesn't care about anyone in Los Angeles County. He

341
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 3: doesn't care about you, John, I guarantee you, if something

342
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 3: happens to you.

343
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 6: He's going to say it's your fault.

344
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: He wishes.

345
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 3: The person that did something to you before you have

346
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 3: any sympathy for you.

347
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: All right, listen, Emma, Emma, thank you for coming on.

348
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 2: Emma Revis, Thank you very much.

349
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 3: John, can I say one Martine for your authors. A

350
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: vote for Jonathan Tommy is a vote for justice.

351
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 6: All right, thank you all.

352
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: It was good talking with you.

353
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: Now at John Cobelt, at John Cobelt Radio, at John

354
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: Cobelt Radio. Go to Twitter and you can vote. I

355
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: think there's some hanky panky going on, but we'll we'll

356
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: just keep rolling here. Suddenly during the commercial break, like

357
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: a surge of Gascon voting. I wonder, I wonder if

358
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: he's organized some of his people. But you can go,

359
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: you go and vote. You can you can combat the

360
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 2: surge and still most of the vote is anti gascon

361
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: and just follow what I say here, don't ignore the

362
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: percentages on the right side of the screen. We had

363
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: to break up the candidates into three groups because there's

364
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: twelve of them and doesn't allow more than four, So

365
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 2: we came up with three groups. Ignore those percentages, they're

366
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 2: not accurate, and just vote for who you won. After

367
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 2: the twelve and at one o'clock tomorrow we'll give you

368
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: the results and see what the engaged part of our

369
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: audience is thinking. When we come back, we're going to

370
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: talk to Jorge Ventura from News Nation. News Nation is

371
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 2: the newest, hottest cable news channel on your cable system,

372
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: and we talked the other day about the incredible number

373
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 2: of Chinese migrants trying to enter the US illegally at

374
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: the southern border. He's got a lot more information. Already,

375
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: four thousand were apprehended, a lot coming through San Diego,

376
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: one hundreds daily, and border patrol agents are dealing with

377
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 2: a surge at Hot Springs. They're flying into Tijwana Airport

378
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: and smugglers are bringing him in. The whole story coming

379
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: from Horehe Ventura from News Nation. That's next.

380
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 7: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

381
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 7: six forty.

382
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 2: We decided, since there's only twenty two days to the

383
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 2: district attorney's primary election, we would do a poll once

384
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: a week and have people enter the poll on Twitter

385
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 2: at John Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio, and we

386
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 2: have all twelve candidates. You vote for one of the twelve.

387
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: It's a twenty four hour poll. It'll end at one

388
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 2: o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and you can vote the eleven candidates

389
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: and George Gascon eleven challengers. So you do that and

390
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: we're going to we're tracking it. Ignore the percentage totals

391
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 2: on the right hand side. They are not accurate. We've

392
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 2: had to break up the we have to break up

393
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 2: the votes into like three divisions.

394
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: That's the way Twitter's formats work.

395
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: So just vote for one and we will figure out

396
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: the winning percentages tomorrow.

397
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: Okay, just ignore what you see on the right hand

398
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: side and.

399
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: Vote for the person you want to see as the

400
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 2: La County DA all. Now, the storm at the border,

401
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: there's never a day off there, and apparently there's a

402
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: huge number of Chinese migrants now entering the US illegally

403
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: at the southern border, especially in San Diego, and how

404
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 2: this is happening is going to be explained by Jorge Ventura.

405
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: He's with News Nation, which is a relatively new cable

406
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: TV channel. It's very good. You should check your cable

407
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: system for News Nation, Orgey.

408
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 1: How are you.

409
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 5: Hey doing good things there? Beyond?

410
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: How is this working? How are thousands of Chinese migrants

411
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: making their way to Mexico and then coming over the

412
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: border here.

413
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we've we've been speaking with these Trainese nationals

414
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 5: we're acrossing illegally in San Diego, particularly in the area

415
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 5: called a Kumah Spring about sixty miles east of Sandygo,

416
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 5: a very remote desert area. And in my conversations with

417
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 5: these Chinese migrants, it's actually been fascinating. What we learned

418
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 5: is that majority of these Chinese nationals are actually flying

419
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 5: to Ecuador in South America. The reason they fly to Ecuador,

420
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 5: they tell me, is because Ecuador does not require a

421
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 5: travel visa from Chinese citizens. And from there, Chinese migros

422
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 5: who actually will coordinate will smogglers and they'll travel to

423
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 5: an area called Neocoli, Columbia. From Neokoli Columbia, smuggers and

424
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 5: then we'll put these Chinese citizens on boats and then

425
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 5: they'll travel actually to Panama, and that's where you'll find

426
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 5: all these Chinese migrants actually going through the very dangerous

427
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 5: Darien Gap is actually something that the Panaminian government has

428
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 5: been trying to raise the alarm on with US officials. Now,

429
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 5: for these Chinese migrants, once they get to Mexico, they

430
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 5: essentially are writing almost guaranteed to the US border. What

431
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 5: I mean by that is one thing that we've been

432
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 5: learning from Mexican sources and law enforcement sources is that

433
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 5: Chinese migrants are willing to pay up to thirty five

434
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 5: grand to be similar to the US borders per person

435
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,400
Speaker 5: and comparitive to a Venice Well and migrant where Venezuelan

436
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 5: and the most that a Venezuelan con pay is maybe

437
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 5: five to six grand, and that's still not very very common.

438
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 5: So a Chinese migrant is We're going to pay up

439
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 5: to thirty five grand to be smuggled. So essentially, what

440
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 5: I what I got from one of my sources was

441
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 5: Chinese migrants essentially have what they call the first class

442
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 5: migrant smuggling experience where these cartels will actually cornerate hotels

443
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 5: for them. They'll cordinate which airports to travel to. That's

444
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 5: how you actually never see Chinese migrants in caravans. You

445
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 5: would you never see Chinese migrants riding like those freight

446
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 5: trains to the US bar. You know, they arrive like

447
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 5: I said, they fly in, they have hotels. Tiuana particularly

448
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 5: is interesting because they'll flight directly to the Tijuan airport

449
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 5: from their smugglers will put them in vehicles. Then they'll

450
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 5: travel outside of Tijuana particular, an area caught that gostakes,

451
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 5: a really remote desert area, and then that's where Chinese.

452
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 5: That's what the smuggle will guide the Chinese virus across

453
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: the Leela into Hakumba. It's a pretty fascinating kind of

454
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 5: detailed plan and smuggling operation that the Chinese citizens now

455
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 5: to use.

456
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: Who knew there was a first class option to get

457
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: smuggled in by the Mexican drug card tells Now, I'm

458
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: just kind of surprised that that that relatively wealthy people

459
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 2: in China are taking this method, because you know, you

460
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 2: laid out a pretty arduous journey there. It seems like

461
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: they could it be easier just to get a travel

462
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: visa and then just blend into the country.

463
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: You have that too.

464
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 5: That what I see what Chinese citizens is what they

465
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 5: just what they tell me is that they really have

466
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 5: no time and they want to escape communists, trying to

467
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 5: fastest way they can. And now a lot of these

468
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 5: a lot of these routes and tactics and who to contact.

469
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 5: All this now is on social media, so a lot

470
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 5: of the Chinese citizens are actually getting this on on

471
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 5: a Chinese app called weed Chat. They also are using

472
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 5: uh TikTok. I was actually speaking to a Chinese mariner

473
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,640
Speaker 5: who essentially just said explained to me that he found

474
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 5: out what's we're else to take through TikTok, knew about

475
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 5: the Darien Gap and eventually knew who to contact once

476
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 5: they reached Mexican but particularly San Diego area. Since January,

477
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 5: they've already apprehended four thousand Chinese nationals, and that number

478
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 5: looks like as of right now that it isn't going

479
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 5: down anytime soon.

480
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: When you say apprehended, what what happens to them are

481
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: are they are they sent into the asylum system.

482
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 5: Exactly so, so Bortal Tross will take them in, they'll

483
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 5: process them, and they'll most likely be released into the

484
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 5: US with a future court date. There was actually a

485
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 5: group of five Chinese nationals actually just a few days

486
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 5: ago that they were actually caught in Indio, California, about

487
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 5: one hundred miles from Kumba.

488
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

489
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 5: They actually already had asylum hearings, but they actually got

490
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 5: caught with fake Pennsylvania driver license. So just it's just interesting,

491
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 5: But I don't know what's going on. Border Pato tells

492
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 5: me that it's this just causes a huge headache for

493
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 5: them because of the language barrier. Because Chinese nationals too,

494
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 5: they have to go through a deeper background starts that

495
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 5: involved the FBI.

496
00:25:58,600 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 4: UH.

497
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 5: But it's a massive headqe for officials here and particularly

498
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 5: in my area in Kuma, because the closest processing center

499
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 5: for migrants for more patrol agents who take them, it's

500
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 5: sixty miles away in San Diego. So it's a massive

501
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 5: headache and it's an issue that now Mexican officials are

502
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 5: trying to get a handle on as well as you

503
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 5: want to.

504
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is amazing stuff. Thank you for coming on.

505
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 6: Hey, thank you so much for Hey.

506
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: Ventur with News Nation. Check your cable news channel list

507
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: News Nation, and he's reporting on thousands of Chinese migrants

508
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: who apparently have a lot of money. They're paying thirty

509
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: five thousand dollars ahead. There's first class for everything. Oh

510
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 2: all right, we got a lot coming up in the

511
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 2: next minutes. First of all, go to at John Cobel

512
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 2: to radio at John Cobelt Radio on Twitter and vote

513
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: for who you want as the La County District Attorney.

514
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: We have all twelve candidates there.

515
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: Pick one.

516
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 2: Ignore the percentages on the right hand side, they're not accurate.

517
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 2: But just pick your pick your candidate, and we'll figure

518
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: it all out. For tomorrow still to come, after three o'clock,

519
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk with Katie Grimes from the California Globe.

520
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: Globe.

521
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: You remember the idiots, the intrusive nannies and their plastic

522
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: bag ban, Well, it turns out it's completely backfired in California,

523
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: as it has in other states around the country. Because

524
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: they came, they got rid of the thin bags, they

525
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: released thicker bags that you had to pay for, and

526
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: it turns out people are throwing those away and there's

527
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 2: now more plastic being disposed of than there was ten

528
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: years ago. Because these these intrusive idiots, these progressive idiots

529
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: in our government won't leave us alone. And if they

530
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: think there's a plastic bag problem, they thought there was

531
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 2: one ten years ago. Well it's allegedly much worse now.

532
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: Of course, there really isn't a problem. You just throw

533
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: all the garbage in the landfill. That's what landfills are for.

534
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: But when we come back, though, since we were discussing

535
00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 2: illegal the illegal alien in flux all over the country,

536
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 2: there are revolts by Democratic politicians. In Chicago, Democratic politicians

537
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: are angry with all these progressive policies, and so in

538
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: Denver as well. The Denver mayor is upset and the

539
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: Biden Now everybody's leaking all the dirt, and the Biden

540
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: administration apparently the cabinet officials are screaming at each other

541
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: over immigration and calling each other vulgar names that I

542
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: can't say out loud on the radio, but I'll try

543
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: to explain it. And that's first up, John Cobelt's show.

Speaker 2: Nathan Hawkman, Eric Sandal, and you know about the eight others,

554
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: seven or eight others. Everybody is on this ballot that

00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: we put together at John Cobelt Radio on Twitter. So

Speaker 2: right hand screen. They don't they're not relevant. We had

558
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: to break it up into three groupings. But you just

559
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: pick one, pick your favorite out of out of the

560
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: twelve candidates, and we'll tell you the winner is tomorrow.

561
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 2: Try to get a beat on what what are our

562
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: listeners think?

563
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: Here? And coming up at three o'clock Tammy Tammy Katie Grimes?

564
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: Who's Tammy? Tammy Grimes is an old actress?

565
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 3: I well, we were talking about I am headed to

566
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: bref the air.

567
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: No, oh, it's Bidenville. Next stop.

568
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: Stupid plastic ban? Oh god, when did they do that?

569
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: Ten years ago? Twenty fourteen? Yeah, ten years they banned

570
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: those thin, flimsy plastic bags, which worked perfectly well. So

571
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: what they did I know that I knew this was

572
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: a scam. They gave you we have thick plastic bags now,

573
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: but they charged us a dime because the grocery store

574
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 2: companies went along with it. In order to they split

575
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: the dime with the state. So a nickel goes to

576
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 2: the state and nickel goes to the grocery companies, and

577
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: you know, billions of bags later. That's real money. Anyway,

578
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 2: it turns out that even more plastic is ending up

579
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: the landfills and blown around in the world even more

580
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: because people aren't are thrown away the thicker bags just

581
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: as much as the thin bags, and they don't care

582
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: that they paid a dime for them. The whole thing

583
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: is a scam. Anyway. Now they're back, they want to

584
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 2: ban the thicker bags as well. We'll tell you about

585
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 2: it with Katie. Katie Grimes from californiaglobe dot com, which

586
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: is a good news site. All right, we're on illegal

587
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: the illegal aliens, because we just had a report from

588
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 2: News Nation about thousands of Chinese migrants pilot over the border.

589
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: They are now that.

590
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: All of Washington d C's is turning on Joe Biden.

591
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 2: Now they're going to leak out all the truth that's

592
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: been going on the last few years. And when it

593
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: comes to the illegal alien surge, one of Biden's top

594
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: aids Susan Rice. It's been suspected that Susan Rice is

595
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 2: one of the shadow presidents. When Biden is napping and

596
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: she got angry with the other cabinet members over immigration,

597
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 2: screaming at Xavier Bessera, who used to be a California

598
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: congressman and now he's the Health and Human Services Secretary,

599
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: and she would insult him, calling him, well, it starts

600
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: with a b ends.

601
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: With a ch jabber ba Korea.

602
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: Second word is ass, so you could fill in the blanks.

603
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: That's what Susan Rice would call be. Sarah also called

604
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 2: him an idiot over the migrant crisis because he wasn't

605
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 2: providing like a safe haven for all the children coming

606
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: over the border.

607
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: Jabber a ba karrea.

608
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 2: Rice also insulted Kamala Harris because Harris was supposed to

609
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: be the Borders Are President Harris.

610
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: And she's still angry.

611
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 2: She thinks Harris tanked Rice's chances of being the vice

612
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: presidential running mate. By distributing opposition research that resulted in

613
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: some unflattering coverage. Harris's age in turn mock Rice.

614
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: And we get this right here.

615
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 2: Rice told the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandra Majorcis not to

616
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: save the Sarah from Biden's. There's a story out that

617
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: Biden had a huge temper tantrum one day last year

618
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: because it was all bad news about the border. Of

619
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 2: course he didn't. He should take responsibility, and he doesn't

620
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: because he rescinded dozens of Donald Trump executive orders and

621
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 2: that's what opened the border up. They decided to do

622
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: the opposite of everything that Donald Trump was doing, whether

623
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: Trump was right or not, and Trump was right on

624
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: the border, and so they made their own mess. And

625
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: then Biden ran around screaming at his cabinet secretaries over

626
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: the mess. And Harris was supposed to be the borders

627
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 2: are there, and according to one administration officials, she's been

628
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: at best ineffective, sporadically engaged, not seeing it was her responsibility,

629
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: it was an opportunity for her, and she didn't fill

630
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 2: the breach.

631
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: And let me see what else here.

632
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: Chicago Democrats angry with all the progressives, the sanctuary city policies.

633
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: There is one advocate, Zerlina Smith members and she says

634
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 2: she's she's a black mother and an activist, and she

635
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 2: is angry now that all the money is going for

636
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: illegal alien care. It's just a lot, and it's overwhelming

637
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 2: all the trouble that she sees in her community. There's

638
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 2: not enough food, there's a lot of homelessness, there's high taxes,

639
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: there's bad gangs, there's illegal guns. And she does not

640
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: understand how the governor of Illinois could spend six hundred

641
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 2: and fifty million dollars for illegal aliens and the city Brandon,

642
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: the city mayor Brandon Johnson, pays out another one hundred

643
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 2: and forty million. You add that up, that's seven hundred

644
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 2: and eighty million dollars for illegal aliens in Chicago and Illinois.

645
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 2: And now a lot of black neighbor of black neighborhood

646
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 2: leaders are furious. Many of them are left wing, many

647
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 2: of him are Democrats, and they all are extremely resentful

648
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: of all the money being spent on the illegal aliens.

649
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: The Denver mayor is angry because they have to cut

650
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: five million dollars from public services for Americans to pay

651
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: for illegal alien costs. He's blaming the Republicans, which of

652
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 2: course is absurd. This is entirely Joe Biden. This is

653
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,839
Speaker 2: all on Biden. He's the president. He's the one who

654
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 2: withdrew the Trump executive orders. He replaced them with his

655
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 2: own set of executive orders. I don't know if sanility

656
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: it is sent in. I don't know if he remembers.

657
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 2: Who knows if he cares. But now the Democrats are

658
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: eating other Democrats over the border situation. When we come

659
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 2: back the plastic bag ban? Is it coming back because

660
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 2: it failed the first time ten years ago? And go

661
