1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock, 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 2: and every day after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on 5 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: demand on the iHeart app and you get to listen 6 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 2: to whatever you missed. Well, today's such an exciting day. 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 2: This supposed to be another special birthday gift I got. 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 2: Michael Monks is here from KFI News covering the never 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 2: ending immigration beat. 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 3: I was told I was here to sing for you. 11 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 3: I didn't realize we were doing any reporting today. 12 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 2: You could sing your report if you want. That'd be fine, 13 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 2: not if we want to keep the ratings. 14 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: It's another day of immigration. 15 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,920 Speaker 3: You really don't expect a kind of day where the 16 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 3: federal government is responding to a tweet from the Dodgers. 17 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: But that's where we are in Los Angeles. 18 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 2: Today, and there in dispute the Dodgers and the Department 19 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: of Homeland Security. 20 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, what is this about? 21 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 3: Okay, So this started off as a pretty busy morning. 22 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 3: We sold a couple of immigrations what looked like immigration raids. 23 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 3: I try to be careful using that word because I 24 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 3: don't know what exact act the operation is, but there was, 25 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 3: so I tend to lean on the word activity. We 26 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 3: certainly saw ICE at a home depost store on Sunset 27 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: Boulevard in Hollywood. The reports from witnesses indicate several people 28 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 3: were detained, some set up the twenty people were taking 29 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: We're talking day labors in the parking lot, food vendors 30 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 3: on the sidewalk nearby who were caught up in this thing. 31 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: In Pacoima, outside of a Lows, we saw some ICE 32 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 3: activity there. The LAPD ended up having to respond to 33 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: that because demonstrators showed up pretty quickly, and I don't 34 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: know if the if there was any interference with ICE's 35 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: departure from that parking lot, but LAPD showed up to 36 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 3: help clear the crowd out. Moments after that, reports started 37 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: to surface online that Ice was spotted near Dodger Stadium, 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 3: and the initial reaction from some activists who are against 39 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 3: the immigration enforcement was that the Dodgers are colluding with 40 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security and allowing ICE to stage there. 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: Nice hysterical reaction. 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 3: So the demonstrators then showed up at Dodger Stadium out 43 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: there side Gate E, and that's what led us to 44 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 3: this dispute. 45 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: So again a bunch of demonstrators show up. 46 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 3: The LAPD has to show up to stand between the 47 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 3: demonstrators and the ICE agents who have been confirmed to 48 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: have been there. But then the Dodgers put out a 49 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 3: statement later in the morning and they said, look, ICE 50 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access 51 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 3: the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds 52 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: by the organization. Tonight's game will be played as scheduled, 53 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 3: And then quote tweeted by the Department of Homeland Security, 54 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: which says this had nothing to do with the Dodgers. 55 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: CBP Border Patrol vehicles were in the stadium parking lot 56 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: very briefly, unrelated to any operation or enforcement. So the 57 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 3: Dodgers claim they were asked like somebody from Yeah, like 58 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 3: Christy Noan got them on the phone or something and 59 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: it said, yeah, you might be parking for. 60 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: A staging area, yeah, to round up illegal aliens. And 61 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: Homeland Security is saying no such thing. We briefly parked 62 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: there to take a nap, to have a donut. I mean, 63 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: what the why would they park at Dodgers. 64 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: You mentioned something I think just before the break about 65 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 3: how quickly demonstrators show up to some of these events. 66 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: So today's shows two things. One that's obviously correct. The demonstrators, 67 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 3: the organizers, the protesters in LA do have a rapid 68 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 3: response network. They get the word out quickly and people 69 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: show they showed up in Hollywood, they showed up in Pacoima, 70 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: and they showed up in Dodger Stadium. Conversely, DHS, the 71 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: Department of Homeland Security, has been very active on social 72 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: media because there are tons of immigration enforcement stories all 73 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 3: across the country. Some of them are just a general 74 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 3: look a certain store was raided, or an operation was rated, 75 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: a workplace was raided. But there are also some that 76 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: have maybe a sappier tone to them. So and so 77 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: pregnant mom or grandmother or this and that. There's always 78 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: a pregnant mom. 79 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: There's never a mom absconded who's not pregnant. Every mother 80 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: that Department Homeland Security is deported, they've all been pregnant. 81 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how that happens. America is a romantic place. 82 00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 4: Apparently, you know, reproduction quickly, absolutely so DHS is very 83 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: quick at responding to a lot of those headlines saying, 84 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 4: you know, Let's say a beloved grandfather was arrested and 85 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 4: then they come out with it this is not an 86 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 4: actual one, but while it turns out he murdered a 87 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: small village outside of Caracas in nineteen seventy seven. 88 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 3: They're very fast at their response too, so you've got 89 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 3: rapid response going right on both ways. 90 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, are any grandfathers who get deported not beloved? I 91 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 2: noticed that almost everybody deported if they're not pregnant, they're beloved. 92 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 3: My grandfather was a mean old snake from World War 93 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: Two who would drink Yellowstone right out of the bottle 94 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: like it was a glass of water. 95 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: And I loved him anyway. 96 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: And he wasn't deported, was he No, No, not at all. 97 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: So it's just swirling misinformation and denial. 98 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: These things happen fast. Yeah. 99 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 3: Obviously ICE doesn't tell anybody when they're about to show up, 100 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: and because of that, you've got the heightened tension, the 101 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: fears in the community. You have activists who are ready 102 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 3: to respond, and you have the government that is also 103 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 3: ready to respond. So there are a lot of messages 104 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: that are going out and somehow we here who are 105 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 3: just supposed to convey information have to piece all of 106 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 3: that together to let people know what's really happening. But 107 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 3: it's a rapid fire information system right now. 108 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: And we're still in the very early days of this. 109 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: We got three and a half years, at least three 110 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: and a half ye Trump, if you take home and at 111 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 3: his word, I mean, they're going to go after everybody eventually, 112 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: and supposedly in La County there's almost a million illegal aliens. 113 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: So there's just literally going to be thousands and thousands 114 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 2: of these operations going on. 115 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: If you're going to hit what has been the reported 116 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 3: goal of the administration three thousand illegal immigrants arrested each day, 117 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: you're going to be very busy. And it does indicate 118 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: the volume of people that they suspect are here illegally. 119 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 3: But this is one of those places in America where 120 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: there is that high volume. So that's probably why you're 121 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: seeing the concentration. 122 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: You go to North Dakota, there's maybe five Canadians, I mean, 123 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 2: and their loss at what point, I mean, the these 124 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: resistance groups just exhaust themselves because you're going to go 125 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: out and scream in the hot sun every single day 126 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: for the you know the rest of the decade. 127 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: I you know, la is a. 128 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: I've been here two years, right and covering the government. 129 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: You see these activist groups on this or that issue. 130 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 3: They're highly motivated, and they're allowed and organized. They're very organized. 131 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: And this isn't necessarily general protesters who might feel something 132 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 3: for the first time in their lives. I won't go 133 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 3: out and take a stand. These are people who know 134 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: how to engage law enforcement. They know what tactics will 135 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: be used against them, they know how to reverse some 136 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: of those tactics. 137 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: And because they also move from issue to issue, you know, 138 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 2: it could be racism one day, it could be like 139 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Elon Musk, it could be a climate change, it could 140 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: be the Palestinian cause. Now it's it's the deportations. And 141 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 2: I suspect in a lot of cases it's the same 142 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 2: people and they just get you know, they're talking points 143 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 2: and they're rhymes that they have to shout. E. 144 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 3: There's so many flags they're holding. They look like a 145 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 3: walking United Nations building. It's really hard to figure out 146 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 3: what they really believe. But I think this is my 147 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: observation editorializing a bit here. I think at the core 148 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: of this, yeah, a lot for a lot of them 149 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 3: is an antagonism towards law enforcement that kind of dates 150 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: back five years ago when the protests really hyped up 151 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 3: with these these sentiments against police, and some of those 152 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 3: sentiments are obviously justified for you know, behaviors that Look, 153 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: this police department pays millions in lawsuits every year for 154 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: behavior that they've engaged in. 155 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: That's indisputable. 156 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: That the police department is found guilty or settles because 157 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: of wrongdoing. 158 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: Casts a tremendous amount of money, exactly. 159 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 3: But beyond that, I mean, further than that, there's something 160 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 3: deep rooted I think in a lot of people against policing, 161 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: and so that's why they're always anxious. 162 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: So whatever laws are being enforced, this crowd is against 163 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: law enforcement. 164 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: Well, whether the laws being enforced, just the general presence 165 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 3: of law enforcement, I think is what they're ready to 166 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: get dirty with. 167 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: That's an interesting way to spend your life. That's just 168 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: an observation, not a fact. I'm reporting. My job is 169 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: to draw you into the swamp.

Coming up after two thirty, 183 00:08:52,840 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: Trump gave another another short dig at California, reiterating that 184 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 2: he is not funding high speed rail. 185 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that now. Ice. You know this is funny. 186 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: It's been kind of an ongoing theme through all these 187 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 2: ICE stories today is how flaccid and impotent the resistance 188 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 2: really has been, even with the King of Impotence, Gavin 189 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: Newsom trying to inspire everybody to revolt. ICE is expanding 190 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 2: detention capacity in California, and in fact, they have a 191 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 2: contract now to create the largest detention facility of illegal 192 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 2: aliens in the state. They are ICE is contracting out 193 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: with Courcivic. They're a private prison and detention company and 194 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 2: they're going to convert a twenty five hundred bed in California, 195 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: a twenty five hundred bed facility in califor Ffornia City 196 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 2: into the state's newest and largest migrant detention center. The 197 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 2: company got funding of ten million dollars and they'll get 198 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 2: up to thirty one million for six months and eventually 199 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: it'll lead to a long term agreement. Now, Gavin Newsom 200 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: signed a bill in twenty nineteen that banned the use 201 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: of private prisons and immigration detention facilities. Then a company 202 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: and the Trump administration sued California and one Newsome lost 203 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: a federal court founded as unconstitutional as it applied to 204 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 2: federal private detention centers. In other words, California could not 205 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 2: ban federal detention contracts and detention centers. See, we don't 206 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: have that many detention beds in the state. We have 207 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 2: that we have funding for forty one thousand. Ice has 208 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: funding across the nation, and they're going to go from 209 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 2: forty one thousand to one hundred thousand around the country. 210 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 2: Now California has only thirty two hundred beds. You imagine 211 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: we have a huge percentage of the illegal aliens and 212 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 2: we have a small number of detention beds. Texas, for example, 213 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: has over twelve thousand. So Texas is over twelve thousand, 214 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 2: We have a little over three thousand. Louisiana has over 215 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: seven thousand. So this new California city facility cour Civic 216 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: is going to be a big deal and they're not 217 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 2: going to let news get in the way. This is 218 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 2: this is what's really amusing. It's like while you had 219 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: thousands of people standing in the sun shouting nonsense and 220 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: abusing horses, not to mention the three guys who lost 221 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 2: their testicle, finger and I respectively. Right, that's what you 222 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 2: Some guy gave up his eye, another guy gives up 223 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: his testicles, third guy loses a finger, and then two 224 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: days later Ice is opening up a twenty five hundred 225 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: detention center for illegal aliens. 226 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: You guys are having no effect, I mean none. 227 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 2: And one guy has almost literally made himself into impotent. 228 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: He's not only politically impotent, he's actually impotent. Maybe the 229 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: other testicle could pick up the slack. I don't know 230 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 2: exactly how that works. And so Newsom filed the big 231 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 2: lawsuit and he lost the big lawsuit. That's why don't 232 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: pay attention to Newsom and bodto when they stand in 233 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 2: front of their podium and they start going on their tire. 234 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 2: By the way, you're not much money they put aside. 235 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: You know, you know how badly we're in debt here 236 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: in California, we're in devasit. They put aside fifty million 237 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: dollars just to sue Trump. What a huge waste of money. Huh, 238 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: What an enormous freaking waste of money. Yeah, that's what 239 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: I'm going to work for. I can't stand looking at 240 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: how much state taxes are taken out of my check 241 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: every two weeks makes me crazy. And then I see them, 242 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 2: Oh it's for another pointless lawsuit. Excellent, good work you 243 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: have buffoon. Oh it's thirty five billion a year for 244 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: legal aliens. Yeah, that's why I go to work. That's 245 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: best use of money. This is absolutely nuts. And when 246 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 2: we come back, because this is never going to end, 247 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 2: Trump is coming out and repeating, They keep repeating the 248 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: same thing, and Newsome is not getting it. Homan made 249 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 2: it clear they're going to keep arresting people, raiding businesses, 250 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: detaining them, deporting them. That that machine is going to 251 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: rumble on. You could throw your testicles at them. It 252 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. Trump is making it clear, I don't care 253 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: how many times you ask, You're not getting any more 254 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 2: high speed rail money, no federal tax money for that loser. 255 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: So it's almost like there's been a coup. It's like 256 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 2: all the worst policies that Newsom has had over the years, 257 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: they've really a lot of this has been propped up 258 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 2: by federal inaction or federal tax money, and those days 259 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 2: are coming to an end. 260 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about it coming up. 261 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 262 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 5: six forty. 263 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 2: Coming up after three o'clock. Westside Current is one of 264 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 2: the best local news sites, and I learned many things 265 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 2: from the Westside Current dot com that I do not 266 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: learn from the La Times because they don't write relevant 267 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 2: stories very often. We're gonna talk to Jamie Page, who's 268 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: one of their lead writers, and she's gonna give us 269 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: the latest because it's been oddly quiet. There's that federal 270 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: judge David o'carter who's supposed to make a decision on 271 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: what he's going to do with Los Angeles' failing homeless program. 272 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: Is he going to put it into receivership, have an 273 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: outside receiver, an outside person or entity take over the 274 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 2: disastrous homeless bureaucracy that Karen Bass is currently in charge of. 275 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: And remember, Karen Bass hired eleven lawyers to keep her 276 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: from testifying. After the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which is 277 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: an organization made up of LA residents and businesses, it's 278 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: LA Alliance for Human Rights, after they realized that the 279 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: eleven lawyers were probably going to create a three month delay, 280 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: they dropped their demand that Bass testify. Why didn't Bass 281 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: want to testify? Why do you think just because there 282 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: was an audit that said two billion dollars is unaccounted 283 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: for and she's ultimately in charge and one of her 284 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: whenever her friends, Vlicia Adams Kellum, who's leaving that post, 285 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 2: gave two million dollars to her own husband, her own 286 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: husband's nonprofit. Jah, why doesn't Why doesn't Bess want to testify? 287 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: I can't imagine. Could it be that there's massive corruption? 288 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: Jeez? 289 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: I hope she's not involved in that. I hope she 290 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 2: wasn't aware of it, But we're not going to know 291 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: because she's not testifying. So anyway, Jamie Page is going 292 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: to be with us and tell us you know where 293 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 2: this decision is because he hasn't made one yet. And 294 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: then and this kind of cracks me up. And Jamie 295 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 2: is going to have some information on this. Librarians across 296 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 2: Los Angeles now feel now say they no longer feel safe. 297 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 2: You know, librarians have been on the side of all 298 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: the drug addicts, mental patient vagrants that have ruined the library. 299 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: A lot of parents will not bring their kids to 300 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 2: the library for obvious reasons. Many of the vagrants sit 301 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 2: there and watch pornography right out in the open, and 302 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: the librarians never had a problem with it. They never 303 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,719 Speaker 2: had a problem with needles being found in the restrooms 304 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 2: of the libraries. I don't know why suddenly they're upset. 305 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 2: I mean, they tolerated this for thirty years. That's all 306 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 2: coming up after three o'clock. Donald Trump made some comments 307 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: that was he had one of his on the spot 308 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: press conferences on the White House lawn today. 309 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: And you know what I. 310 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 2: Love is as he's rambling along with his answers, you 311 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: know he'll find a way to take a shot at 312 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 2: Newsom and point out again one of the many failures 313 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: of this governor. And high up on the list is 314 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 2: high speed rail, and Trump said that the high speed 315 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 2: rail line is one of the most incompetent things. 316 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: And you know what, nod he can say. This is 317 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: what I love about this. 318 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 2: It's irrefutable, indisputable that it is one of the most 319 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 2: incompetent things. I mean, you cannot make a case of 320 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: seventeen billion dollars in seventeen years and no track and 321 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: not agree. It's like, wow, that is that is absurdly incompetent. 322 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 2: How does that happen? And he said the money doesn't 323 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 2: go Well, no, he said, the train doesn't go where 324 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: it's supposed to. It's supposed to go from La to 325 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 2: San Francisco now because they don't have any money, and 326 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: they made it much shorter. This is the famous Madera 327 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 2: to Bakersfield run. And I think that should be stopped 328 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 2: because no one is ever going to take the train 329 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 2: from Madera to Bakersfield or vice versa. And it isn't 330 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 2: even Madera to Bakersfield. It's well, actually it's Maderre Owasco, 331 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: which are two little towns next to Merced and Bakersfield. 332 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 2: So there's going to be virtually zero use of of 333 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: this rail. Now there's a new CEO, and I'm trying 334 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 2: to find out how much money he makes. I was 335 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: looking up online. I found that the old CEO was 336 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: getting a base salary of three hundred and eighty four 337 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 2: thousand dollars. His name was Brian Kelly. Brian Kelly had 338 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: the job running high speed rail for the last six years, 339 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 2: six years, spent billions of dollars no track, and I'm thinking, 340 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 2: can you imagine. I mean, that's just the base salary. 341 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 2: So he made at least two and a half million dollars, 342 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: not to mention bonuses and whatever other perks they threw 343 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: in there. Let's just say conservatively two and a half million. 344 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 2: Doire bag to getting two and a half million dollars 345 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: And at the end of it all, you look around 346 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 2: and you have nothing to show for it. You built nothing. 347 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 2: Wouldn't you love a government job that paid you two 348 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: and a half million dollars only six years out of 349 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 2: your life? 350 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: You go, you wake up in the morning. 351 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: I think you started in twenty eighteen, started in twenty eighteen, 352 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 2: got into the office, went to the office every day, 353 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: probably forty eight weeks a year, five days a week, 354 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: put in all all the hours, all the meetings, all 355 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 2: the Zoom conferences.

How much money do we spend? How many 358 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 2: billions did we spend in the last six years and 359 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 2: we got nothing out of it? And the plan now 360 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 2: is and they say this with a straight face, as 361 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 2: if there's going to be a market to go Madera Ouasco, 362 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 2: as if there's going to be a crowd lined up 363 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: every day for every train and the train's going to 364 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 2: be slow.

I just 477 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: gave six percent for recent college graduates. Steve Bannon, who's 478 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 2: one of Trump's advisors, says, I don't think anyone is 479 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: taking into consideration how administrative, menagerial and tech jobs for 480 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 2: people under thirty are going to be eviscerated.
