Those all those 28 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: buffoons you saw on the streets protesting over the weekend, 29 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: a lot of them. It looks like they emptied out 30 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: the nursing homes. They had everything but the oxygen tanks 31 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: rolling with them. And of course you know the usual 32 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: scummy people who spray the graffiti. And then you got 33 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: the people flying the Palestinian flags and the communist plats. 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: It's a really a wonderful group of people.

Take us down the money trail. How 41 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: does our tax money end up funding groups that make 42 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: up a portion of these protesters for the No Kings 43 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: Day parade. 44 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, this is just one of the many 45 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: protests that these folks fund.

What they do is 51 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 3: they get contracts and money from the city and then 52 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: they distributed it to groups like we saw out in 53 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: the streets this. 54 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: Weekend, Liberty Hill Foundation. 55 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 3: They get social justice nonprofit group is how they describe themselves. 56 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: And they get fourteen million from LA the city fourteen million. 57 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: That is a lot of money, considering that LA is 58 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: bankrupt and they don't have any money to fix the 59 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: road so the sidewalks, or pick up the garbage, or 60 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: fund the police or the fire department. They got fourteen 61 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: million for this socialist group. 62 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: It's one of a handful. We just gave one hundred 63 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: and seventy seven million in contracts too. It's only our 64 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 3: city attorney who has stepped in recently and asked for 65 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 3: audits from these groups saying how do you spend the money? 66 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: Where is all the money going?

One of the 112 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: groups LA s LA. 113 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 3: What is that, It's called Laughlin. That's one that we 114 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 3: definitely need to pay attention to, and I am here 115 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 3: in our newsroom. It's the Legal Aid Foundation. They got 116 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 3: one hundred million dollars from taxpayers a couple of weeks ago. 117 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: One hundred million dollars. 118 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and who's yeah, it's under the umbrella of 119 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 3: tennant's rights. Like that's what they're they're saying this money is. 120 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 3: But when you go into their tax records, you'll see 121 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: that they are funding DSA council members. They're donating to 122 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 3: these council members. You want to come in and abolish 123 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: the police more and defund the police.

It's about having these protests 133 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 3: over the weekends. It's about showing up in city council 134 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: and making sure the far left get what they want. 135 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: I mean, I see these folks in city Hall all 136 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: the time, and they're there when there's a vote specific 137 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: to something about social justice causes. 138 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: They oppose the Olympics. 139 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 3: Pose the Olympics. 140 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: Well, what form of opposition do they take? I mean, 141 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: are they going to try to disrupt the Olympics? So 142 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: are they going to do marches? I mean, what I 143 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: understand oppose the Olympics. I'm what does that mean. 144 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: They're basically they're I mean, they're basically calling to say 145 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: we you know, whatever, wherever you stand on the Olympics. 146 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 3: It's one thing, but to pay these folks to come 147 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 3: in and protest in city Hall again, which I see 148 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 3: them a lot with these signs that says, you know, no, 149 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 3: no La twenty twenty eight. And that's what we have. 150 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 3: What we're paying them for is just to come and protest. 151 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: Well, it's like all the money that gets paid to Turla. 152 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: The state of California pays Turla forty three million dollars 153 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: I think, and they provide a lot of the funding 154 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: for the UH anti Ice riots last June. I don't 155 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: understand this. This is like a scam in front of 156 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: our eyes, and then it's covered by the news media 157 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: as if this is a real legitimate protest from regular 158 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: citizens and it's not. It's taxpayer paid. I mean I 159 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: read that there's no these no Kings groups. They printed 160 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: three million signs. Well, well that's a lot of money, 161 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: and then it's coming across. 162 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 3: It's coming from us.

I can see which guys are going 176 00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: to run because the political websites are doing these long 177 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 1: winded profiles, and it's a setup for them running because 178 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: they don't deny that they're interested. They don't quite say 179 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: I'm entering the race tomorrow, but it's clear that they 180 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: are going to be running.

He's completely as unmasked as being an idiot. 186 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 187 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 4: six forty. 188 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: You can call a Voiceline eight seven seven Moist staighty 189 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: six eight seven seven Moist staighty six, or he's the 190 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. All right, the gas 191 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: prices and these these numbers may be outdated because they 192 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: were from yesterday, but Los Angeles County is five dollars 193 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:06,359 Speaker 1: and ninety eight vs. Orange County five dollars ninety two cents. 194 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at these states because because I looked 195 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: at a number of political news sites and they're starting 196 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: to ramp up the hype machine for Democratic candidates, you know, 197 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: because all these are all like left winging political sites. 198 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: Even if they advertise themselves or present themselves as being neutral, 199 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: they're they're all it's all progressives running this right, so 200 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: that they want to start greasing up the new crop 201 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: of candidates. So I read one long piece on Josh 202 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: Shapiro in Pennsylvania and one long piece on Andy Bashers, 203 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,439 Speaker 1: who's the governor of Kentucky, and Shapiro is the governor 204 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: of Pennsylvania. So we got two governors there, and it 205 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: looks like they're going to run based on you read 206 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: between the lines. They didn't come out right out and 207 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: say it, because it's it's what it looks like. It's 208 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: two years now until the primaries, right would be in 209 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: the winter of twenty twenty eight, So it's two years. 210 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: But you got you gotta start fundraising, you got to 211 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: start hiring people, you gotta put your organization together, you 212 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: gotta start thinking through what it is you're going to 213 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 1: campaign on, what you're going to stand for Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro, 214 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: because I'm looking for these people to gang up and 215 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: take out the idiot newsom. Pennsylvania's three dollars and ninety 216 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: four cents for gas three ninety four. So here in 217 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: California the state wide price is five eighty seven. It's 218 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: five ninety eight in La County. And you go to 219 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania right now, and you're dealing with you're dealing with 220 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: three ninety four. And then let me see Kentucky, Andy 221 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: Basheer's three seventy one, three seventy one. Let me see 222 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: who else? Oh, Gretzman, Gretcha in Whitmer. I don't know 223 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: if she's still a Michigan governor or, if she she's 224 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: turned out, or she's she's going to be leaving something 225 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: like that, she's near the end of her term, if 226 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: she hasn't already finished it. Michigan. Let's see three ninety four. 227 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: So Pennsylvania's three ninety four, Michigan's three ninety four, and 228 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: you got a three seventy one in Kentucky. Who else 229 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: supposed to run? 230 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: Oh? 231 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: Maybe the governor of Maryland, Wes Moore, Maryland. 232 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: Let me see you're still governor. By the way, she's 233 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 2: still governor. All right, Well, I think this is her 234 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 2: last year. Four hours, four hours in Maryland. And then 235 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 2: you go to California and it's five eighty seven. Now, 236 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what's wrong in the brains of the 237 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 2: people who live in La County. I'm trying to develop 238 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 2: some kind of theory because this almost seems like a 239 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: cult situation. This almost seems like a very dark, destructive 240 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: religion that people have joined where it doesn't matter if 241 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: they're sacrificing babies in front of you, You're going to 242 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 2: stay loyal to the cult leader. You're going to stay 243 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: loyal to the cause. 244 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: And you know, I mean, this happens in cults, you know, 245 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 1: from the Manson family, you know, to the Simiannese Liberation Army, 246 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, all the all those weird cults from the 247 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: nineteen seventies that you might have read about, the weird Gurus, 248 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: the Indian Gurus up in Oregon, remember, and usually they 249 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: were sex cults and violence cults. And this is not 250 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: sex and violence so much, but it's doing violence to 251 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: the way we live. I mean, when you have to 252 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: pay extra two dollars for a gallon of gas, that's 253 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: forty dollars per tankful. Forty dollars extra that we pay 254 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: here compared to Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Michigan. You multiply that 255 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: by fifty weeks a year, it's two thousand dollars of 256 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: extra money you're paying because of Newsom's taxes and the regulations. Now, 257 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: I don't see how he gets around that, because even 258 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: the war is going to end, the prices are going 259 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: to drop by you know, a dollar fifty for the 260 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: whole country, but we're still going to be two bucks 261 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: higher than the national average. You're two bucks higher than 262 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: those lists of states I gave you, because it's always 263 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: been that way. It's always been a dollar fifty to 264 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: two dollars higher than everywhere else. How does he possibly 265 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: camp because I mean, if I'm a candidate, right, if 266 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm one of these candidates from Michigan or or Pennsylvania, Kentucky, 267 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: no matter what he babbles, I'll just say, your gas 268 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: is two dollars more expensive, and it's your taxes in 269 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: your regulation. And they new some will babel and babbel 270 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: and babbel and shout Trump's name, and I'll say your 271 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: gas is Trump is president of my state too. Trump 272 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: is president of Kentucky, president of Pennsylvania, president of Maryland, 273 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: president of Michigan. I mean his responses are so stupid 274 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: because he acts like Trump is controlling the price in 275 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: California but has decided to let the other forty nine 276 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: states alone. And he does the same thing when he 277 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: claims the oil companies do price gouging. Yes, they're gouging 278 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: only in California, but not the other forty nine states. 279 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: He is solely the reason after eight years, he's responsible 280 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: for all the extra taxes and all the extra regulation. 281 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: He appointed. Everybody on the cardboard, everybody in the legislature 282 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: is loyal to him. He has a two thirds majority. 283 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: I say he drops out. I know they have these 284 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: prediction markets where you can make bets. I'm betting he 285 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 1: drops out before the first primary if he bothers to 286 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: run it all. His record is so bad, it is 287 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: so god awful. But go I hope he runs from 288 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 1: my entertainment. Well, I mean, we want the laughs. It's 289 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: good for business. Good for business, So go ahead and run, Gavin, 290 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 1: you and your ninety three IQ, because only a guy 291 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: with a ninety three IQ would run when his gas 292 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,920 Speaker 1: costs two dollars or more than anywhere else in the country. 293 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: All Right, when we come back, Spencer Pratt has a 294 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: new cartoon parody. I guess campaign commercial that he's running. 295 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: It's uh, it's something you have to see. The video 296 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: is very funny, but the song is catchy and we're 297 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: gonna play it when we come back. 298 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 299 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 4: six forty. 300 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: If you haven't seen this Spencer Pratt campaign video, search 301 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: it out.

I 306 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: don't know if it's AI, but I've reached out to 307 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: the person who made it. I haven't heard back. The 308 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: name of the campaign is Spencer Saka la Bassora, which 309 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: translates to Spencer Take out the Trash. Basoora means trash 310 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: and Spanish. And I don't know if you've noticed this, 311 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: but Spencer Pratt only refers to Karen Bass as Karen 312 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: Bassoura Karen Trash.

People were running from the fire while 376 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: she was taking UH pictures in Ghana, drinking with the 377 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: UH with the officials and the Ghana government.

I tell you it is is a 382 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: is a deadly sick cult that a lot of people 383 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: have fallen into. I'm gonna go read a book on 384 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: how cult members get deprogrammed because we need it. We 385 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: need a mass deprogramming in this city and in this state, 386 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 1: because only a only cult behavior explains why people are 387 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: putting up with what they're putting up with. And it is. 388 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: It's it's cults, it's religion. It's why in the olden 389 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 1: days people were willing to have their babies sacrifice to 390 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: the gods, and everybody would not nod along as the 391 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: babies were getting slaughtered. All right, we got more coming up? 392 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: Oh will we come back? All the people leaving Los Angeles, 393 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 1: some voluntarily, some involuntarily. Why is this a bad thing? 394 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: All these these scary headlines about how shocking it is 395 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: that LA's population is shrinking. I can't. That's great, that's 396 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: terrific news. We gott to be celebrating this. 397 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI AM sixty. 398 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: All right, right after six o'clock, we're going to release 399 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: the podcast same as the radio show, John Cobelt's show 400 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: on demand, and you listen to that. In a four 401 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: o'clock hour, we had a man on from El Segundo 402 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: and you want to hear that interview because the city 403 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: of El Segundo ignored the neighborhood's request to put in 404 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: stop signs at an intersection, a dangerous intersection, and his 405 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: son almost got hit by a car while he's riding 406 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: a bike. It's right near a park, and so he did. 407 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: This guy gets up in the middle of the night 408 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: and he puts up his own stop signs at the 409 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: crosswalk and he got busted by the cops and they're 410 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: charging him with felonies. Can you imagine? This is so outrageous. 411 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: He's trying to keep his kid from getting run over, 412 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: and all the other neighbors also don't want their kids 413 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: to get run over, and the city El Segundo just 414 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: won't put up the freaking stop sign, but they give 415 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: him felony and he listened to it. It's our number 416 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: two of the podcast. Finally, before Conway comes in, big 417 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: headlines that Los Angeles and San Diego, guy, had made 418 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 1: your population drops. Part of it is California residents fleeing 419 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: the Karen Bass Gavin Newsom insanity. Part of it is 420 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: the illegal aliens have been chased out, either deported or 421 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: they ran out on their own. In the Los Angeles area, 422 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty one thousand people packed up and 423 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: left in a year one hundred and thirty one thousand, 424 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: and only thirty eight thousand arrived from other countries. Well 425 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: that's great news. I mean, if you ask anybody what's 426 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 1: the hardest thing in Los Angeles, it's got to be 427 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: like a top three answer. It's too crowded. There's too 428 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: much traffic, too many people here. That's what drives up 429 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: the cost of rents and the cost of owning a 430 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: home is there's too many people. So if you chase 431 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: out one hundred and thirty one thousand, one way or 432 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: another and they don't all get replaced, well that's a 433 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: good thing. But you know these articles I'm looking at 434 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: just bemoan that, oh it's going to hurt LA's growth. 435 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: We don't need to grow any It's nice to grow 436 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: the economy, but not by adding illegal aliens, because then 437 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: you have to have, then you have to pay tens 438 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: of billions of dollars in taxes, and that is a 439 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: great way to destroy growth is having high taxes. It's 440 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: clear that there's very few people that understand how basic 441 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: economics works. You can't have tens of thousands of freeloaders 442 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: that you have to spend ten Well, we have millions 443 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: of free loaders in California from foreign countries and we 444 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: have to spend tens of billions on them. So what 445 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 1: if they all left? So what it's tens of billions 446 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: of dollars that we should get back. And then if 447 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: we had that money and there's more housing available, or 448 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: there's more neighborhoods available to build new housing. We had 449 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: the biggest drop of of any county in America. We're 450 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: the most populated county in America, but we used to 451 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: be over ten million people. Now we're down to nine 452 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: point seven million. We've lost a net of three hundred 453 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: thousand people over the years increasingly. Again, why would you 454 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,959 Speaker 1: deal with the insanity? Why would you deal with the insane? 455 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: Homeless people running in the streets, whacked out on drugs, 456 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: mentally ill, living in the streets, defecating everywhere. The crime 457 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: right up until last year we had you could steal 458 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: nine hundred and fifty dollars worth of stuff from any 459 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: store and you wouldn't be stopped. Yeah, no felony charges 460 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: for that. Put up a stop signed to keep yourself 461 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: from getting run over and keep your kid from getting 462 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: run over. Well, that's a felony, But not stealing nearly 463 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 1: one thousand dollars worth of goods. And all this, all 464 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: these immigration deportations, it's kept its kind of cooled down. 465 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: Immigration as a whole, fewer people were coming into the US. Nationwide. 466 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 1: Population growth was just a half percent last year, one 467 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: of the lowest in recent memory. Good forty percent of 468 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: Metro area see more births than more death than berths. Good. Well, 469 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. I never understood why do we need 470 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: millions of poor people who take tens of billions of 471 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 1: dollars out of our out of our pockets. What's what's 472 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: the economic upside of that? And every And there's no 473 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 1: way you're gonna bring down housing prices unless you get 474 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: a lot of people to move out. And they're not 475 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: all moving out of the state. Some of them are 476 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: moving to uh San Bernardino Riverside area. So they're not 477 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: even leaving California. They just don't want to deal with this, right. 478 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: I mean, there's like twenty twenty arguments you could make 479 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: for getting out of here, and so people are going. 480 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: They're doing the rational logical thing. It's like, it's not 481 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: a terrible thing. I'm i'm. I noticed once they did 482 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: the the ice raids, traffic lightened up noticeably on the 483 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: drive home on the one on one absolutely did, so 484 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: you know, more people should leave. Arrivals into San Diego 485 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: dropped by sixty five percent year over year because they 486 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: were just there. They're right at the border there. San 487 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: Diego's population fell by five thousand. Good. Less people the better, 488 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: less traffic, less people driving up housing prices and everything else. 489 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: It's all good news, all right. Conway's next, and we'll 490 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: see you tomorrow. John Cobelt Show, We've got in for 491 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: Michael Krozer.
