1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 2: In last segment, we were talking about how there's a 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 2: the Palisades. People are just at their wits end. They 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: don't know what to do. I have no idea how. 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like this. There's absolutely no interest 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: from the Bass administration to address what's going on in 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: the Palisades. We just found out they have an emergency 9 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: management department that barely exists. They have about thirty people 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 2: and their funding is equal to two days of what 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 2: the police department spends. So there's been nobody in city 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 2: government working on disaster recovery. They hired this outside consultant, 13 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: but haggardy, but they never explained what it is they 14 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: do either, And the headline says, what's the plan? 15 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: Here's a companion story. This is really a messed up government. 16 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: I mean, she is. 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: So bad at this, it's stunning. It's almost like a 18 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: work of art. The La City Council decided that they 19 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 2: have a new revised budget. It's gonna cut the number 20 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 2: of layoffs by half. All they're worried about is saving 21 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: desk jobs. You know how they're gonna save more than 22 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: a thousand layoffs. They're gonna cut the police budget, they're 23 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 2: gonna hire fewer police officers, and the slowdown is in 24 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 2: hiring is going to be so intense that, you know, 25 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 2: officers constantly are retiring or resigning for some reason, right. 26 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: And more are going to resign then are going to 27 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: be hired. 28 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 2: So by next year or June thirtieth, the next year, 29 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 2: we're going to be down to eighty four hundred officers. 30 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: When Tony Vallar, of all people, was in office, we 31 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: had ten thousand. So it's gone from ten thousand to 32 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 2: eighty four hundred. We had ten thousand as late as 33 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: twenty twenty, twenty twenty, we had ten thousand, and it 34 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 2: was all the defund the police bastards, and it drove 35 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 2: a lot of officers out of the business because of 36 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: the horrible climate that was created. One of the worst. 37 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 2: Here is a councilwoman in Unicus Hernandez. She is an 38 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: avowed socialist. I mean she brags about it, and she's 39 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: excited about this new plan that's going to save some 40 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: city desk jobs. Because she's all about defunding the police. 41 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: She goes, oh, now, there's light between the clouds. She's 42 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: on the committee. She is on the committee, the budget committee. 43 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: You put it to fund the policewoman on the budget committee. 44 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: Guess what, the police get defunded. They're also cutting the 45 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: fire department. Forty two emergency incident technicians at the fire 46 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: department is being cut. The new interim fire chief ront 47 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 2: of Vinlway that opposes this. You know what else they're cutting. 48 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: They're even cutting funding for Inside Safe. Basst has been 49 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 2: touting what a wild success that has been, but it 50 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 2: costs a lot of money, and now she's out of money. 51 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 2: Inside Safe moves homeless people into run down motels, disgusting moteals. 52 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: I mean that that's most of what it does. There 53 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: isn't much more to it. They make expensive deals with 54 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 2: rundown you know, prostitute motels, motels that charge by the hour, 55 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: and they stuff as many vagrants as they can in there. 56 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a lot of fun. My god. 57 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 2: They're actually cutting the fire department and the police department. 58 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: And the the original sin in this is she she 59 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: gave a record, She gave record raises to city workers, 60 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: huge pay increases to city workers. 61 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: And now she she's got no money. 62 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: So cops out, firefighters out, even the inside safe, homeless 63 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: employees out, make sure those desk people, make sure they 64 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 2: get paid paid. So this this, this budget committee recommended a 65 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: hike in parking meter fees. That's going to go up 66 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: by fourteen million dollars what you pay in parking meters. 67 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: Now, did you you know what I. 68 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: Never saw addressed after the story first broke is that 69 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 2: they lose sixty five million dollars on parking tickets. And 70 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 2: I tell people this and they all stare at me 71 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: and they go, well, that's not possible. You know. The 72 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: funny thing is some of this news is so insane. 73 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: People just don't believe it. They just don't think these 74 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,559 Speaker 2: stories can be true. But it is true. The City 75 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 2: of Los Angeles has lost sixty five million dollars last 76 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: year writing parking tickets because they pay so much money 77 00:05:53,920 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 2: to parking enforcement agents salaries, benefits, pensions, and the cost 78 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 2: of paying these people far exceeds the money that comes 79 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 2: in from the tickets. 80 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: Sixty five million. 81 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: Not only that they've lost money for eight straight years, 82 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 2: they have not made money writing parking tickets since twenty seventeen. 83 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: So the original plan is where they're short of billion dollars, 84 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: so they're going to lay off sixteen hundred people. And 85 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: the reason there's such a huge budget crisis is the 86 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: raises for the city workforce that raised expenses by two 87 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million dollars, rapidly rising legal payouts between 88 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: paying for abusive cops, paying for people who trip on sidewalks, 89 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 2: and Laura then expected tax revenue. Oh, it's going to 90 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: take a big hit, right, Palis State's people aren't going 91 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 2: to palle States. People largely moved to other cities. I 92 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: was looking at a map last week, and you know 93 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 2: they went to Santa Monica and Manhattan Beach at Orange County, 94 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: so there's a lot of taxes not being paid there. 95 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: Bass says she. 96 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: Was against a strategy that pits the hiring of police 97 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: officers against the preservation of other jobs, calling it a 98 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,119 Speaker 2: sophie's choice. No, it's not a sophie's choice. The police 99 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: officers are more important than anybody working at the desks. Okay, 100 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 2: they already got an embarrassingly large raise, so there's no 101 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: reason to go out of your way trying to save 102 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 2: those jobs. The do you know, actually the original proposal 103 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: was going to cut fire department mechanics. In the last 104 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: few minutes Friday, they restored some funding for fire. Fire 105 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 2: department mechanics was part of the reason the Palisades fire 106 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 2: is out of control because one hundred trucks were busted 107 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: because there weren't mechanics to fix them. 108 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: So one hundred trucks were excuse me in the garages? 109 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: Do you know what Unises Hernandez pushed for on the 110 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: committee to restore a million dollars for a group called 111 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: represent La. 112 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: What does represent LA do? Oh, you're gonna like this one? 113 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: It provides legal defense for illegal aliens facing deportation. So 114 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 2: she wanted to spend a million dollars for lawyers to 115 00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 2: defend illegal aliens while they're cutting the police, while they're 116 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 2: cutting the fire department. 117 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: This is Unicus Hernandez. 118 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 2: She represents MacArthur Park, which is a human sore. I 119 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 2: how did there's fifteen members? How is she on the committee? 120 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 2: She says the city needs to stand by immigrants. What 121 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: what have been the people whose home is burned down 122 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: because you never funded the fire department. Now Bass has 123 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: gone to Gavin Newsom to try to beg more money 124 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: out of him. 125 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you about that meeting, how that went. 126 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: What was his response when when Bash hit him up 127 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: for you know, a billion dollars? Tell you next. 128 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six. 129 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 2: Forty by the way tomorrow. We mentioned earlier that there's 130 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 2: another story coming out of Sacramento that high speed rail 131 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: is ten billion dollars short of what they need to 132 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 2: continue construction between Bakersfield and Merced and it is now 133 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: up to seventeen years and eighteen billion dollars wasted with 134 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 2: nothing built, and so there's a ten billion dollar deficit. 135 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 2: Tony Strickland is coming on. He's a state Senator from 136 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 2: Huntington Beach. He says these are all self inflicted wounds. 137 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 2: Something has got to be done. He said this project 138 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: is failed and should be discontinued. And he's urging everyone 139 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: else in the Senate. So let's have a serious conversation. 140 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: This is not, this is not. This is absurd. It 141 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 2: is so absurd and ridiculous to blow eighteen billion dollars 142 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: and have nothing to show for it, and then you 143 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 2: want another ten billion. This is like Bess refusing to 144 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 2: do anything to help rebuild the Palisades. They chest don't listen, 145 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 2: they don't care. Right now, Bass is a brick wall. 146 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: People in the Palisades are out of their minds. They're 147 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: getting very slow permitting. They don't understand, they don't know 148 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: who's in charge. What's going to be done about the recovery. 149 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: Well. 150 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: Bass went to see Gavin Newsom recently and she wanted 151 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 2: a billion dollars. She wanted Newsom to bail her out. Newsom, 152 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: of course, has an own twelve billion dollar deficit, and 153 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 2: he said no, he said flatly at a news conference 154 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: he did not plan to provide any cash to dig 155 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 2: LA out of its hall because the billion dollars shortfall 156 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 2: is due to fat contracts that Bass gave city and 157 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: union workers and all those liability lawsuits, much of which 158 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 2: can be prevented. And of course they've chased out so 159 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 2: many wealthy people and so many businesses, and the Palisades 160 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 2: is gone. That tax revenues are are below expectations, so 161 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 2: that they eft everything up. They the Karen Bass eft 162 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: everything up. You don't have you have. The wealthiest part 163 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: of the city does not exist anymore because of your 164 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: bad funding of the fire Department. You're bad hire at 165 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 2: DWP who couldn't even fill up a that one hundred 166 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 2: and seventeen million gallon hole. Jennie Kenonas. It's all about 167 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 2: Bass and Kenonyas and the city council goofs. 168 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: And now she's a billion short. And she went to Newsom. 169 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 2: Now what was that conversation like, oh, I've got a 170 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: billion dollar deficit. Well, I've got a twelve billion dollar deficit. Yeah, 171 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: I blew all my money on city employees. Oh, I 172 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 2: blew all my money on illegal aliens. That the conversation, Well, 173 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 2: I need money. Newsom goes, well, I need money. I 174 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 2: need more than you. I can't give you anything. I'm broke. 175 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: I'm broke, the broath broke, they're broken. The head. Newsom says. 176 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: He offered two and a half billion dollars after the fires, 177 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 2: but over a billion remains unused. 178 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's going to be stolen. 179 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: Bass, of course, when confronted on this, said well she 180 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: and the governor are in sync. 181 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: That's one of those use less phrases. She spews out. 182 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 2: And she's asking for money up front that FEMA will reimburse. 183 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 2: She's climbing. It's all fire related money. I guess Newsom 184 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: doesn't believe her. Besides that Newsom doesn't have the money. 185 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 2: It's just and this was all this stuff is unnecessary. 186 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: I read to you that Tony Strickland says it's all 187 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 2: self inflicted wounds with high speed rail. It's self inflicted 188 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: wounds in Sacramento, it's self inflicted wounds in LA. You know, 189 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:44,200 Speaker 2: I read occasionally the test scores. People graduate high school, 190 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: and probably seventy percent of high school kids are not 191 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: proficient at math or reading either. One Now a lot 192 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: of those people got into government, it's clear. So we 193 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: now have legislators, maybe we have the mayor, maybe the governor. 194 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: We have people in power. 195 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: Seventy percent chance they can't read or do math. I'm 196 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: not exaggerating, because they act like they can't read or 197 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 2: do math. I always look at actions. They could say 198 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 2: they know how to add in some track, but when 199 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: you're a billion dollars in debt, maybe you can't. Maybe 200 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 2: you don't know math. Maybe it's all too complicated and 201 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: it gives you a headache. Maybe Karen Bass gets a 202 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: headache when anybody starts talking math to her. And Newsom 203 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: is only running for president, so he doesn't. He's abandoned 204 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: the Palisades. Bass has abandoned the Palisades. It's like all 205 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: these decades of voting for progressives have finally paused everything 206 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: to call apps all at once. Here we hit some 207 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: kind of critical mass. And then twice a day I 208 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 2: got to hear about Kamala Harris gonna run for governor, Like, yeah, 209 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 2: that's gonna help. Yeah, that'll that'll, that'll fix everything. It's 210 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: like everybody's insane. Don't you feel like you're trapped in 211 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: some bizarre nightmare every day? I know the Palace stakes 212 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 2: people do. 213 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: I know? 214 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 2: I doctor friend of mine, I talked to you over 215 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: the weekend. He has a practice near the Palace stages. 216 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: He says, four people a day come in who lost 217 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: their homes entirely, four people a day, completely burned out, 218 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: and nobody has any hope that anything's gonna happen. You know, 219 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: the insurance companies are a complete mess, total mess. There's 220 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 2: nobody available, nobody answers, the tone, nobody to talk to. 221 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you could. 222 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 2: See in a lot of cases the employees don't even exist. 223 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 2: Emergency management department only has thirty people in it. In 224 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: La there's nobody there answer the phone. We're coming up. 225 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM. 226 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: Six forty moistline is eight seven seven moist eighty six, 227 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: eight seven seven moist eighty six. 228 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: Or if you're. 229 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: Numerally inclined eight seven seven sixty six four seven eight 230 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: eight six, you can use the talkback feature on the 231 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,360 Speaker 2: iHeart app and we'll play it twice on Friday. Conway 232 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: coming up in a half an hour. Well, it looks 233 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 2: like the electric car racket is coming to an end. 234 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 2: As we predicted here for several years. The US Senate 235 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: is going to vote, probably as early as next week, 236 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: within the week, to revoke a waiver that allows California 237 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 2: to set its own emission standards, and it would put 238 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 2: an end to the electric vehicle mandate in California. When 239 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 2: California did this, eleven stupid states decided to copy them, 240 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 2: and then Gavin Newsom went preening around saying, yes, we 241 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: are the proud leader in emissions. Well, it hasn't worked 242 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: out at all. And now two states just in the 243 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, Maryland and Virginia, withdrew their copycat regulation. 244 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: They are no longer going. 245 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: To set these goals of well, it was all the 246 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 2: same goal. No gas powered cards were going to be 247 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: sold by twenty thirty five, And looks like the federal 248 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: government is going well, the Senate in the House, they're 249 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna pass this, and then Trump is going 250 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: to sign it, and the waiver that California got granted 251 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: years ago will be null and void won't exist anymore. 252 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 2: So they can't come up with their own emission standards. 253 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: And GM is put a lot of money into building 254 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 2: electric vehicles and billions of dollars. They were going to 255 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 2: build four hundred thousand electric vehicles by the middle of 256 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 2: last year. That was the plan, and they are now 257 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 2: on the leading edge to reverse the electric vehicle mandate. 258 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 2: GM sent out an email to thousands of its employees saying, 259 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 2: we need your help because these electric vehicle laws are 260 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: not aligned with market realities and this is a serious 261 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 2: threat to our business. In other words, they're losing billions 262 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 2: being forced to manufacture and market electric cars that nobody wants. 263 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 2: So they have their employees contacting senators. They're given talking 264 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: points and they're being told tell the senators you got 265 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: to pass this thing. They had their own goal of 266 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: ending sales of gas cars by twenty thirty five, and 267 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 2: they were in bed with California. 268 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: They were all for it. 269 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 2: And you know why is because the federal and state 270 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 2: government was subsidizing it. But as it turned out, even 271 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: with the federal government subsidizing these sales and car companies 272 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 2: subsidizing the sales, there weren't many buyers. Said one dealer, 273 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: Barry Stoller back Eastern New York said, if the factory 274 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 2: doesn't subsidize it, and the government doesn't subsidize it, the 275 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: consumer can't afford it. And it looks like everybody is 276 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: getting out of the subsidy game. Three years ago, automakers 277 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: could not keep up with the demand. Now discounts are 278 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: drawing up. Car buyers are looking for cheaper alternatives. Tax 279 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 2: credits are being rolled back by Congress. Yeah, the price 280 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: of electric vehicles was artificial, was a fake price. It's 281 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: because taxpayers. You bought an electric car. Other people bought 282 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: it for you. Other people worked and bought your electric car. 283 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: That's why the price seems so attractive. And we all 284 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 2: know about the problems with the electric cars. There's very 285 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 2: few places to charge them on the road, it can 286 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 2: take a very long time. Well, there's one democratic. Democratic 287 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 2: politicians are even figuring this out, because the House passed 288 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: this bill already to get rid of California's waiver, and 289 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: thirty five Democrats supported the legislation, including two Democrats from California. 290 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 2: Like everybody knows the jig is up here. Laura Gillen 291 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 2: is a Democrat from New York, which had adopted the 292 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: man ate, and she says, the timeline's out of touch 293 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 2: with reality. If everybody in my district went out and 294 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: got an EV, the grid could not accommodate that. Barry Stoller, 295 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: the dealer I told you about in New York, he said, 296 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: there's no way automakers can meet the California requirements. The 297 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: customers just aren't there. This was all obvious on day one. 298 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 2: This is like Joe Biden being senile. Obvious on day one. 299 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 2: Electric vehicles really expensive, hardly any place to charge them 300 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 2: on the road, big pain in the ass, obvious from 301 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: day one. What are the other things that were obvious 302 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 2: from day one? Oh yeah, cell phones in the classrooms. 303 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 2: Took them ten years to ban cell phones obvious from 304 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 2: day one. I bet you every single teacher in twenty 305 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: thirteen or so when the iPhone became ubiquitous, when suddenly 306 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 2: everybody in the class could have the Internet live at 307 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 2: their desks. Bet you, every teacher that day said, oh, 308 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 2: this is a disaster. Took ten years. I don't understand that. 309 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 2: Why why don't people figure this out sooner? It is 310 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: clear and you end up being right on all this stuff. 311 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, they got to band cell phones. Ten 312 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: years later they do. Yeah, electric vehicles kind of suck. Yeah, 313 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 2: ten years later, why don't you just let people buy 314 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: what they want to buy. That's what freedom is. Let 315 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: them buy what they want. And it's always about emotional manipulation. 316 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: Oh, you're killing the planet, you know. 317 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: I still little people talk like that and I look 318 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: at them like they're little kids. Well, you know this 319 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 2: is good for the planet. Like, what are you five 320 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 2: years old? It doesn't matter what you do. You have 321 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: no effect on the planet. You're one tiny little dot. 322 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 2: You're gonna be a pile of dust in a few 323 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 2: years and you have no effect on the planet. One 324 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 2: day you'll be fertilizer. Maybe that's all you'll contribute. People 325 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: really don't understand, like what China does. China has like 326 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cold plants that fire 327 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 2: all kinds of goop into the air. 328 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: There's nothing we do that matters. Nothing. Nothing I have 329 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: never read. 330 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: I've read a lot of articles about people who try 331 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: to take EV trips, you know, cross country, long distances. 332 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 2: Never read a positive one. Every single one written said, boy, 333 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: was that a pain in the ass. 334 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: Jesus. 335 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 2: I had to drive like thirty miles off the road, 336 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 2: and then I got there, and most of them are broken, 337 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 2: and the one that worked there was a long line, 338 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: and then it was really slow and it took me 339 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 2: three hours to fill up and get about thirty percent 340 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 2: of a charge. I read one of those and I go, okay, 341 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: I'm not ever doing this. I've read a dozen of them. 342 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 2: In fact, there is no other genre of article when 343 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,880 Speaker 2: it involves taking an electric vehicle any kind of distance. 344 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: They're all the same because it's true all over the place. 345 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: And if we could all get an electric car, this 346 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 2: is what I say, if I had Gavin Newsom in 347 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 2: a room and I could like strap him through a gurney, 348 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: It's like, you don't have an electrical grid, you boob. 349 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 2: Suppose we all followed your mandate, and we only had 350 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: electrical vehicles. Where is the electricity being manufactured, it's not. 351 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 2: The whole state would short out. There'd be a massive 352 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 2: blackout from border to border. Again obvious on day one, 353 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: rarely reported, nobody in public, nobody in public acknowledged it. 354 00:25:49,119 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: Everybody lied about it. So it's dead. Senat will pass this, 355 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 2: Trump will sign it, and the whole thing will just 356 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 2: be one of those one of those bad dreams. 357 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:12,119 Speaker 1: And uh, I love people like kind of brag. Oh 358 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: I love you know what. 359 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: The funniest, like the cherry on the cake, was when 360 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: all the progressives turned on Elon Musk for getting involved 361 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 2: with Trump, and then they all started selling their car 362 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 2: there there there, started selling their teslas or their fire 363 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: bombing teslas or whatever the hell they were doing. Right, 364 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 2: the only guy who built an electric vehicle that people liked, 365 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 2: the only one, and he was the guy the progressives 366 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 2: turned on. And then I realized, it's like, Okay, you're 367 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: not serious, you're not worried about climate change. 368 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: It was just a cool thing to do. 369 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: It was one of those cool trends you want to 370 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 2: do on the right side of history. 371 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: But you didn't really believe it because. 372 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 2: If you really believe that you have to drive an 373 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: electric car or we're all going to die and the 374 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 2: planet's going to boil over, you wouldn't care what Elon 375 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 2: Musk's politics were. 376 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: Oh, we'll continue. 377 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 378 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 3: six forty. 379 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four, and then 380 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: after four o'clock. Whatever you missed today you could pick 381 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: up on the app. I'm just looking at gas prices today, 382 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 2: California four dollars ninety one cents. The national average is 383 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: three seventeen, but that includes California. 384 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: Here's a better idea. What's going on. 385 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: Mississippi's at two sixty six, Tennessee's two seventy two, Louisiana's 386 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 2: two seventy two. Alabama, South Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma in the 387 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 2: two seventies, Arkansas, North Carolina, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, New Hampshire 388 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 2: in the two eighties, Georgia, North Dakota, Iowa, New Mexico, Virginia, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Delaware, Massachusetts, 389 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: West Virginia, New Jersey in the two nineties. Most states 390 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: are like forty three states. Forty four states are below 391 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: three thirty a gallon, and majority of states are below 392 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: three dollars a gallon. 393 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: But here we're at four ninety one. 394 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 2: And one of the big reason is the excessive taxes. 395 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 2: Now Here is a parlay that Gavin Newsom has created. 396 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 2: He's announced this week that he wants to steal some 397 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: of the gas tax money and spend it on high 398 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: speed rail. How about that some of your gas taxes? 399 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: You know, they these are the taxes they slap on 400 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 2: the oil refineries. 401 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: Right. 402 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 2: They want to take two and a half billion dollars 403 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: and part of that's going to go for a high 404 00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 2: speed rail. He's trying to extend that tax program through 405 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 2: twenty forty five. Twenty forty five, so you remember, people 406 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: don't want to believe this. There's two refineries. I heard 407 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: there might be a third refinery closing in the next year. 408 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 2: Third refinery, more than twenty percent of the gas supply 409 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: is going to go poof. And then there's a sixty 410 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: five cent a gallon increase coming from a new fuel 411 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 2: standard that carb is insisting on. So we're looking at 412 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 2: eight fifty a gallon. Much of that taxes, and now 413 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 2: he wants to he wants to spend that on high 414 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: speed rail, which is according to the story today, ten 415 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 2: billion dollars short of what they need just for that 416 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 2: Bakersfield to Mersaid line. We're gonna have Tony Strickland on 417 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 2: the Republican state senator from Huntington Beach. He's the vice 418 00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 2: chairman of the Senate committee, and he is he's really 419 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 2: just waving the flag here. It's like enough already, this 420 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 2: is so ridiculous. We're up to eighteen billion dollars blown. 421 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 2: And see he wants to steal the gas tax money. 422 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 2: Over the past eleven years, he has spent thirteen billion 423 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 2: dollars on things like electric vehicles. Yeah, electric vehicles. These 424 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 2: are the subsidies for cars that people will not buy 425 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: unless you give them a big subsidy and make it cheap. 426 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 2: Spends it on public transit, which most people don't want 427 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 2: to take because they're afraid of getting beaten up or 428 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: stabbed or set on fire, and other projects, so they 429 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: he also wants to spend the only good thing is 430 00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 2: spending money on CalFire. But the billion of dollars on 431 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: high speed rail is just unconscionable. And then that fifteen 432 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 2: years of tax taxation, and because we have one party rule. 433 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: We have a super majority among Democrats. There's not going 434 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 2: to be even any debate on this. You're going to 435 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 2: be paying these excessive gas taxes for another twenty years. 436 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: And they have even more regulations on the refineries, which 437 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 2: is why the refineries are closing, which is why, going 438 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: back to the beginning, you're going to be paying eight 439 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 2: to fifty a gallon. 440 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 1: I just. 441 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 2: It. And it's all based on crazy insanity, like religious beliefs. 442 00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 2: There's one assembly member who said, what's her name? She 443 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: had to Macatti Petrie Norris, a Democrat from Irvine. She said, 444 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 2: this is the most challenging budget situation California has faced 445 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: in at least seventeen years. We're going to be grappling 446 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: with some very very tough choices, very tough decisions. I 447 00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,479 Speaker 2: got an idea, save twelve billion dollars. Stop giving illegal 448 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 2: aliens free healthcare. Nobody else is doing that. What are 449 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 2: these tough choices? You're doing something that literally no other 450 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 2: state is doing. Cradle the brave, free healthcare to people 451 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,920 Speaker 2: who broke the law. They're coming in from every other 452 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 2: state in the country. Why wouldn't they, God, you know, 453 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 2: I read the other day with the specific benefits are, 454 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they get dental care. Dental care I've never 455 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: had good. I've never had good dental care in my insurance, 456 00:32:54,240 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 2: my life, and the legal aliens get free dental care. 457 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: We've got more into this tomorrow. Conway's up next. 458 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: Michael Krazers the News live in the KFI twenty four 459 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 2: hour Newsroom.
