And he was against him almost from day 15 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: one and made it clear, and he was vilified for that. Well, 16 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: now he's running things and trying to change things in Washington. 17 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: You'll want to And that's beginning of the one o'clock 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: hour on the John Cobelt Show podcast on the iHeart app. 19 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: After four o'clock, Chris Lagraz coming on now, the journalist. 20 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: We talked about yesterday a lot about how Sacramento Democrats 21 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 1: come Hell or high Water, want to force single family 22 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: neighborhoods to accept high rise apartment buildings filled with low 23 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: income residents. This would just destroy local zoning laws. Let's 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: get Chris on to talk about this. A lot of 25 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: people don't believe it. I was talking to some friends 26 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: yesterday and they're just looking at me like I dropped 27 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: off the moon. But this is a real thing, Chris, 28 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: isn't it. 29 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 2: Oh, It's probably the single biggest agenda item on the 30 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: California political classes radar these days. This is their Manhattan project. 31 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: So if you have a neighbor, he'd be able to 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: sell to developer who would bulldoze the single family house 33 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: next door to you and put up a four plex, 34 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: put up a high rise apartment building and fill it 35 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 1: with I could fill it with low income people, homeless people, 36 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, whatever kind of deal he could get to 37 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: finance it. 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's right, And I think in terms of 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: the quality of life, it's really it's it's just a 40 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: degree of horribles because once that new stack I pack 41 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 2: as we call them, goes in next door to your 42 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: single family home. I mean, your property value is going 43 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: to be affected. Obviously, your quality of life and your 44 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: neighbor's quality of life is going to be affected. And 45 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: this is all based on just such a demonstrably false 46 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: and this whole notion that single family neighborhoods, which by 47 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: the way, is where eighty two percent of Californians live, 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: and last I checked, eighty two percent of Californians aren't white. 49 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: So I mean, of everybody chooses to live in that 50 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: type of neighborhood a low dense single family or small 51 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 2: multifamily or suburban or what have you, people will add 52 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: hours to their commutes every day to get that dream. 53 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: That's just human nature. 54 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: Do you mean leaders trying to sell this as this 55 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,279 Speaker 1: this is an excessive white privilege single family home sports. 56 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: Of course, that's their go to that our neighborhoods were 57 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 2: the creations of segregation and redlining and racial covenants and 58 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: all that. And you know that was true eighty years ago. 59 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is the single fastest 60 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: growing cohorted home buyers in California or Latino. So what 61 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: is more racist than these democrats pretending like millions of 62 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: non white homeowners in the suburbs don't exist because it 63 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: doesn't fit their political narrative. I mean, if you can 64 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: come up with something that's more racist than that, I'm 65 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: all ears. 66 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: He tried a version of this a few years ago, 67 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: all the way back to twenty nineteen, and now he's back. 68 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: He didn't have the support in twenty nineteen. Does he 69 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: have it now? 70 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 2: Well, he he got very clear, He got close when 71 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: people realized it was literally the eleventh hour. It actually 72 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: that was SB fifty talking about Senate Bill fifty, which 73 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 2: would have done what this current bill, Senate Bill seventy nine, 74 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 2: And everybody, by the way, needs to be calling your 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: Assembly members and your senators and raising holy hell about 76 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 2: SB seventy nine. But it actually did pass. The crazy 77 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: thing is there's this old, this old timy requirement of 78 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: the legislature that when the second House, that is, the 79 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: house where the bill did not originate, passes a bill, 80 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: they have to literally carry a paper copy of it 81 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: down the hall back to the house where it originated 82 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: so they can vote on what's called a reconciliation vote. 83 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: The only reason SB fifty didn't pass is because they 84 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 2: literally ran out of time. It passed the Assembly at 85 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 2: like eleven fifty eight pm on August thirty, first of 86 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, and they just literally did not have time 87 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 2: before midnight and the recess for it to get back 88 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: to the Senate. So you know, let's be under no 89 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: illusions that Wiener, Scott Wiener, the Democratic Senator, doesn't have support. 90 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: And that's why it's so crucial for individual Californians to 91 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,559 Speaker 2: be raising their voices right now. Call your assembly member, 92 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 2: call your senator, say no on SB seventy nine, because 93 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 2: it would hurt working class and lower income neighborhoods first 94 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: and worst. And that's not speculative or or theoretical. It's 95 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 2: happening as we speak, even without SB seventy nine. And 96 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: if you don't think that they are jonesing for the 97 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: Palisades and Alpadina right now, well, we saw the news 98 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: yesterday that Newsom has just allocated one hundred million dollars 99 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 2: for low income and homeless housing in the burn zones. 100 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: So well, any question, those are the pestle pieces I 101 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: was putting together yesterday. Number one, Karen Vass is hardly 102 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: issuing any permits. Number two Scott Wiener has this bill 103 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 1: stripping neighborhoods of local zoning laws and allowing these apartment 104 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: monstrosities to be built for low income housing. And number 105 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: three Newsom has already kicked off kicked off the festivities 106 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: with one hundred million dollars for low income housing in 107 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: the Palisades. 108 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: So this is what's happening. 109 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: I think bass is intentionally delaying these permits so that 110 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: these people are exhausted and they surrender and they just 111 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: sell to a developer and let the developer do what 112 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: he wants. 113 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 3: I really think that's going on. What do you think. 114 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: I wish I had an argument against that, and I 115 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: wish I could say I was wearing my tinfoil hat 116 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 2: right now, but I think the evidence all points in 117 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: that direction. I think they're slow walking all of this recovery, 118 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 2: absolutely intentionally, starting with the soil testing and the ground 119 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 2: testing and the water testing, which that ate up a 120 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: few months when people were trying to get that basic step, 121 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: which happens after every other natural disaster, by the way, 122 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: except this one. So they slow that, which made it 123 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 2: more difficult for people to deal with their insurers, because 124 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 2: one of the first things the insurer asks the adjust 125 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: ask is what's the status, what's the quality of the 126 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: of the soil? So they've been doing everything they can 127 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: to slow walk this and I think they're trying to 128 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: start people out, John, I really do. And I hate 129 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 2: to say that, and maybe I sound like a crazy 130 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 2: That's what I think. 131 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: That's why I think I bring this up with people. 132 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: And like you said, what's the argument against it? If 133 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: that wasn't the plan, what would they be doing differently? 134 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: Right? 135 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 2: Well, and here's another tell John, you know who the 136 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 2: You remember our good friends over at the Streets for All, 137 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: Michael Schneider and his crowds. Yeah, that we're behind Measure HLA, 138 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: the transit bill that or the Transit Initiative. Well, they're 139 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: also one of the key sponsors of SB seventy nine. 140 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: So any questions, this all fits together. It's the same players, 141 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: it's the same special interests, it's the same billionaires. I mean, 142 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 2: this gold rush that's coming to California thanks to SB 143 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 2: seventy nine is going to make the original gold rush 144 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: look like a sandbox fight in kindergarten. 145 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: A huge payoff to the developers, and I guess they 146 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: are the ones who are greasing things in the legislature. 147 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 2: They're the ones who are greasing things, who have donated 148 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: millions of dollars to these lawmakers. Scott Wiener, who is 149 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,119 Speaker 2: behind many of these bills, has received far and away 150 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 2: more real estate money and venture capital money and black 151 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: Rock style money than any other lawmaker in California. And 152 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 2: here you go, this is there. They are getting a 153 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: lot of bang for their buck with Scott Weiener. 154 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: I'll tell you yeah, well, and then he gets to 155 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: position it to the public as either racial equity or 156 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: a climate sensitivity or any of the other trendy issues 157 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: of the day. But the truth is he's taken in 158 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: big bucks for his campaigns from these developers who are 159 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: going to make a fortune developing the Palisades lots into 160 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: low income housing, apartment housing. 161 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: They're going to turn it into their social housing utopia. 162 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: That that is the plan. And by the way, anybody 163 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: has any questions in both out of the and Palisades. 164 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: I have a couple of folks who send me reports 165 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: every few weeks of parcels that have been sold, and 166 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: they are far fewer in the Palisades than at Altada. 167 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 2: But it's starting to pick up of the parcels that 168 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: have already sold. More than sixty percent have been sold 169 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 2: to LLC's blind trusts or corporations, so including several in 170 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: the Palisades, several LLC's that have purchased two or three 171 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 2: adjacent parcels. 172 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: When are they voting on this? 173 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 2: SB seventy nine is going to go, is going to 174 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: be voted and the Local Government Committee in the Assembly 175 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: next Wednesday. Then the legislature goes on recess from July 176 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: eighteenth to August eighteenth, So that month is the time 177 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: to be cut because you're you're a lawmaker, your your 178 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 2: assembly member, your senator will be back in town. They'll 179 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: be back in the district and that's when you call 180 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 2: them and if you can show up at their office, 181 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 2: write an email. I mean, the only is to make noise. 182 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 2: And I know we're coming up on it, but really quickly, 183 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 2: we came within one vote because of the grass roots 184 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 2: doing what I'm just describing. We came within one vote 185 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: of killing SB seventy nine in the Senate, so we're 186 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 2: doing the same thing in the Assembly. Of this bill 187 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 2: is far from a done deal, but we need the grassroots. 188 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: We need everyone who's listening to my voice. Right now, 189 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: take the fifteen seconds and pick up the phone and 190 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 2: call your assembly member and your senator and say I'm 191 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: a constituent and I oppose SB seventy nine. It really 192 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: is that quick. You can go to a website, our 193 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 2: Neighborhood Voices dot com. We're sort of helping with a 194 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: couple other groups, Neighbors United here in La as well. 195 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: Our Neighborhood Voices is helping lead this charge. But it 196 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 2: comes down to individuals. I mean, it'suns hope, the grassroots works. 197 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: The grassroots work. 198 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: Chris got to do the news. Thank you for coming on. 199 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 1: We will continue talking about this. 200 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Thank you, John. And by the way, we also 201 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: got to talk about this question shennigans last week. That's 202 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: actually almost more shameful. 203 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 3: All right, we'll do that. 204 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 205 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 5: six forty. 206 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: Telemundo reporter Enrique Chiabra did an interview with Karen Bass yesterday. 207 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: She is running for reelection. Spent a lot of time 208 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 1: on the ice Wars and the latest incident MacArthur Park 209 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: where Bass was seen yelling on the phone and she 210 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: was talking to Greg Bovino, who is the head of 211 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: Customs and Border Patrol in Los Angeles. Let's do cut 212 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: three here. Excuse Meiabra asking Bass to respond to a 213 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: comment Bovino made publicly. 214 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 6: She said, thank you, does some work for you, and 215 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 6: they're going to stay here as much as needed to 216 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 6: continue with their mission. What do you have to say 217 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 6: about that? 218 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I think both of us work 219 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 7: for the American people and taxpayers pay us out, and 220 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 7: we are both public servants. He said that they were 221 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 7: going to be here as long as they wanted. But 222 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 7: that goes back to the origin of the problem. What 223 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 7: the administration is doing is experimenting with Los Angeles to 224 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 7: experiment with what happens. What is the public response when 225 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 7: the federal government goes into the state and seizes power 226 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 7: and authority from the governor and deploying National Guard in 227 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 7: our city and they weren't even asked for because they 228 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 7: were not needed. 229 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that is such bs. The federal government 230 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 1: has complete and total power over the border and immigration laws. 231 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: Karen Pass has none. No mayor has that power, No 232 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: governor has that power. And it goes both ways. They 233 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: found that out in Arizona. Arizona wanted to start arresting 234 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: illegal aliens on their own, and the Supreme Court said 235 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 1: you can't. 236 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: At the time, the Obama administration. 237 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: The court sided with the federal government just because the 238 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 1: Obama administration had looser rules on the border than the 239 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: Arizona governor. Arizona governor, she had no right to arrest people. 240 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 1: Arizona legislature had no right at all. Well, it works 241 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: both ways. Karen Bass has no right to overrule the 242 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: federal government. The Trump administration, Congress House said it whole thing. 243 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: It is not up to her. She doesn't have a say, 244 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 1: She doesn't have a vote at all. Karen Bass doesn't 245 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: work for the American people. She works for the citizens 246 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: of Los Angeles. The federal government employees like Greg Bovino 247 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: work for the American people as a whole. It's local, state, federal, 248 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: that's the hierarchy. Karen Bass is at the bottom of 249 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:04,079 Speaker 1: the pyramid there. Enrique chob Giabra from Telemundo the n 250 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: asked Bass if Boveno confirmed that the ice raids would end, 251 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: I guess sometime soon. 252 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 6: Did he confirm or say when this would end? Do 253 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 6: you know when the raids are going to stop? Careel 254 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 6: Center no. 255 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 7: Once again, everything that's been happening in the city has 256 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 7: been by rumors. So there's a lot of rumors. So 257 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 7: it's supposed to last thirty days, sixty days, but there 258 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 7: has never been an answer from the administration as to 259 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 7: how long this was going to last. And if you 260 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 7: look at it, what have they accomplished except for spritings, 261 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 7: fear and terror in our community? What have they accomplished 262 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 7: instead except for damaging the economy and ripping the economy 263 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 7: apart in some neighborhoods. I went to restaurants that catered 264 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 7: to the Central American population Salvador, El Salvador and Honduras. 265 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 7: Those restaurants were empty. The owner said that this was 266 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 7: worse than COVID. 267 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 3: They not only wait, wait, hold on, hold on. 268 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: Caaren Bath said nothing when Newsome shut down all the restaurants, 269 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: said nothing, When who is the Barbara Ferrer, the La 270 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: County public health director, she to shut down all the 271 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: county restaurants. 272 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 3: Garcetti was shutting that. She never said anything. 273 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: Somehow, you have some El Salvadoran restaurants shut down that 274 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: catered to illegal aliens, like, oh my. 275 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 3: God, it's ruining the economy. 276 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: No Newsom and Garcetti and Barbara Ferrara and the LA 277 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: County supervisors. They actually destroyed thousands of businesses. Holy crap. 278 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: Another thing, she said that Trump came in uninvited and 279 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: took control of the National Guard. Well, so far in court, 280 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: Trump has been backed up by federal judges, including a 281 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: Biden nominee. So so far, the way these judges see it, 282 00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: Trump has the right to do that. She has like zero. 283 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 1: Did she really not understand or is just more of 284 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: the stupid political posturing what she's pretending She's an idiot 285 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: or she's actually an idiot. Federal government obviously, the president 286 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: does have a power to take over the National Guard. 287 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: The National Guard is part of the military. All Right, 288 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: we got more clips to play. We come back. 289 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A 290 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 5: six forty. 291 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: Follow us on social media, John Cobelt Radio, John Cobelt 292 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: Radio and again. The podcast will be released shortly after 293 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: four o'clock. Our show today featuring in our number one 294 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: doctor j Vetticheria, who is the new director of the 295 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: National Institute of Health, replacing Anthony Fauci and he Baticheria 296 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: was one of the leading critics of the lockdown policies, 297 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: all the nonsense that we suffered through. He was very 298 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: vocal about it early on, took an enormous amount of 299 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: incoming fire over it. But now he's he's running things 300 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 1: in Washington, and the world might be in a better 301 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: place now that he's taken over. I wish he was 302 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: in charge five years ago and our lives would not 303 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: have been as severely disrupted as they were. Continuing here 304 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: with Karen Bass, who you know, hold on to that 305 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: to that clip about her and the fire, by the way, 306 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: just for long term use, because it's like I heard 307 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: it almost an hour ago and I'm still infuriated by it. 308 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: They will play it again before four o'clock, but I 309 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: want to play these clips. She was on an interview 310 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: with the Telemundo reporter Enrique Chiabra, where she and now 311 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: she's running for reelection and expects to win. Chiabra asked 312 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: Bass a lot about the illegal aliens and the National 313 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: Guard and the riots. And this is Chiabra asking Bass 314 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: if she can promise that La is going to stay 315 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: a same ctuary city got. 316 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 6: So such amonistation issuing you because of the sanctuary policy 317 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 6: that we have in the city. Can you promise that 318 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 6: Los Angeles is going to stay as a sanctuary city 319 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 6: even though we're facing or you're facing the city is facing. 320 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 7: Oh, I can promise that, but I don't control the courts, 321 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 7: and so there is a scenario in which the courts 322 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,919 Speaker 7: overturn our policy. Now I hope that doesn't happen, but 323 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 7: I cannot make a commitment that I'm going to violate 324 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 7: the law. 325 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 6: So potentially we could see this people stop. 326 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 3: Stop. You didn't tell me that was on there. I 327 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 3: wanted to save it for a dramatic effect. 328 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: That means she knows it's the law, she knows the 329 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 1: courts are going to overturn it. She's intentionally violating the 330 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: law and protecting illegal aliens. She can't violate the law. 331 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,679 Speaker 1: Of course, I told you this the other day. Sanctuary 332 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: cities are not a thing. Sanctuary states are not a thing. 333 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: There is no such legal concept as a sanctuary from 334 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: federal law. It doesn't exist. It was entirely made up 335 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: by these asinine aniotic politicians and activists. 336 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 3: There's no sanctuary from federal law. 337 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: There's no sanctuary in the entire world from immigration law. 338 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 1: Every country has immigration law, and it's up to that 339 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 1: country to decide how they're going to enforce it. But 340 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: there isn't a square foot of land on the globe 341 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: where your exec exempt from from from immigration law. There 342 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: is no sanctuary on the entire in the entire world. 343 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: She's you know, it's not that she's a moron, it's 344 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 1: that she's such a liar. She and knews them. There's 345 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: such liars. They deceive, they missdirect, they mislead, any variation 346 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: on lying, whatever word. 347 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 3: You want to use. 348 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: That's all they do because they think, and maybe they're right, 349 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: is that most people are stupid or ignorant, don't pay attention, 350 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: don't understand what the law is. 351 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 3: I mean, what was that pall we had the other day? 352 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: Like a third of people gen Z, which is ages 353 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: eighteen to twenty nine, think that Independence Day is about 354 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: us declaring independence from Native Americans. Okay, so there you go. 355 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: There's a nice base to run for office with. Right, 356 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: Is there any more to that clip? 357 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: A little bit? 358 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 6: Right? 359 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 7: Continue, But I cannot make a commitment that I'm going 360 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 7: to violate the law. 361 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,120 Speaker 6: So potentially we could see this being it. 362 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: Is so is it is possible? 363 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 7: But I think anything is possible. I'm certainly gonna hope 364 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 7: for the best, and I'm gonna fight for the best. Absolutely, 365 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 7: I'm not going to just assume it's going to fail. 366 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 7: If that was my assumption, then I wouldn't have participated 367 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 7: at all. 368 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: The law either a state or a city has priority 369 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: over federal immigration law, or it doesn't. It doesn't. There 370 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: is no question about this has been contested several times 371 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: over the years. In recent times, you don't get to 372 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: overrule federal immigration law, period full stop. 373 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,199 Speaker 3: Take that. 374 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 1: All right, here's Telmando and Rique Chiabra. This is going 375 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: to be cut eight. Asking Bess if she thinks ice 376 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: raids are the beginning stages of a coup. 377 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 6: Going back to the MacArthur situation on Monday, you said 378 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 6: that this is the way a city looks before a coop. 379 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 6: Do you really think there's a coup that's been planned. 380 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 7: I will certainly hope there is not, But it's important 381 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 7: for me to point out the similarities. As I've spent 382 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 7: a fair amount of time going to countries and visiting 383 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 7: cities that were in conflict zone. You don't see the 384 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 7: military descending on its civilians, and you no ever see 385 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 7: that in our country, and the fact that we're seeing 386 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 7: it in peaceful times is a little crazy. There were 387 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 7: no protests, there was no rioting, There was no vandalism 388 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 7: or writing going. 389 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: On in Arthur Park. 390 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 7: Now, does MacArthur Park have problems? Absolutely? Were there people 391 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 7: in the park who are addicted to drugs? Absolutely, and 392 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 7: we're addressing that problem. No, you're not warranted military intervention. 393 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: They didn't arrest anybody MacArthur Park. They were doing a 394 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: staging exercise. Clearly, maybe they were sending a message to 395 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: people like we're here and we're not going away, so 396 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: maybe you should make other plans if you're in the 397 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: country illegally. Again, they're simply enforcing federal law. People haven't 398 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: seen it enforced in a generation. So everybody is like, really, 399 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: flum oxen or is this a coup? A coup is 400 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: when the military overthrows a president or king or whoever 401 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: the ruler is. That's a coup. The federal government going 402 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: into a state that's part of the Union. But California 403 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: is not its own nation, it's part of the United States. 404 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,959 Speaker 1: There is all kinds of federal law being violated here 405 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,639 Speaker 1: in California, and Bass and Newsome are aiding and abetting it, 406 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 1: and the Ice, the ICE people are getting are getting 407 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: shot at. There were ten people they arrested for attempted 408 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: murder in Texas. I mean I mean ten people. The 409 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: ar fifteen's they confiscated. So yeah, they need backup. Yes 410 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: they need the National Guard. Yes they need the Marines. 411 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: Do you think Trump and Tom Homan are going to 412 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: suddenly not enforce federal law? Do you think that they're 413 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: going to allow their their ICE troops to be murdered? 414 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: You think they're going to allow that? Should they allow that? 415 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: Should they let all the ICE enforcement men and women 416 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: get their heads blown off by these Antifa lunatics? 417 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 3: I don't understand they should not enforce federal law. 418 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: Karen Bass is a public official, so's Newsome. They know 419 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: how dangerous it is out there. Why would you give 420 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 1: permission and license to crazy people to assassinate law enforcement? 421 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: Federal law enforcement? Wow, all right, we'll get to the 422 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: drug addicts and MacArthur Park next. 423 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 5: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am sixty. 424 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show, Thompson in for Conway coming up in 425 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: a few moments.

Honestly, what I'm defending is 464 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 7: our democracy. What I'm defending is our local authority. And 465 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 7: what I'm defending our people who have immigrated to this 466 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 7: country theos and I will protect them. 467 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: Boy, there was so much, There was so much garbage 468 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 1: stuffed into that answer.

That's not an opinion of a mega person. 473 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: That is a fact. And Karen Bass says she's not 474 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 1: protecting them. She's protecting them. Yes, she's protecting them. Otherwise 475 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: they would all be arrested and the illegal ones deported, 476 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 1: and the homeless ones and the drug addicts rounded up 477 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 1: and forced into treatment.

Of Course, she's protecting them. 482 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: Otherwise they wouldn't be there. She doesn't want illegal alien 483 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: criminals to port it.

It was a camp and then 512 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 6: the kids were taking away, so a mess such for them. 513 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,960 Speaker 7: Sure, my message is my number one job as mayor 514 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 7: is to protect Angelino's. They're not angelinos, all Angelinos, regardless 515 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 7: of their immigration status, regardless of what they're not, they 516 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 7: got here or. 517 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 3: Why they're here. 518 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 7: And I want you to know, and I want Angelinos 519 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 7: to know that this is a part of my core values. 520 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 7: This is not a political issue for me because of 521 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 7: the moment. I've been involved in immigration reform efforts for many, 522 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 7: many years when I was in Congress, when I was 523 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 7: a community activist, and the major immigration bill went through 524 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 7: Congress was in nineteen eighty six, the Simpson and Mazzoli 525 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 7: bill fighting against Proposition one eighty seven. 526 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: Stop saying again. She doesn't ever address the criminal aliens. 527 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: The drug car tells the MS thirteen gangs. I've been 528 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: running MacArthur Park and she knows this. I know if 529 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: she's scared of taking them on, but she doesn't take 530 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 1: them mind, she does protect them. Hervalues are aligned with criminals, 531 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:10,680 Speaker 1: gang members, cartel members, illegal aliens, homeless people, drug addicts. 532 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 1: That's who she protects. People in the palisades are just 533 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: supposed to pay the bill, and the palisades they're not 534 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: supposed to be there. So she's not unhappy that that 535 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: burned down. She sees a great opportunity to turn the 536 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: Palisades into MacArthur Park and set up those low income 537 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: high rises. 538 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 3: I'd play one more here cut eighteen. People thought that. 539 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 6: Because we're sanctuary city, there was no way that agents 540 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 6: could come into the city and do rags. But people 541 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 6: have to understand that it's a whole different mini sanctuary city. 542 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 6: It's the fact that local authorities can culporate, but they 543 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 6: can still come into whatever they want, as we've seen 544 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 6: it for the past thirty days. 545 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 7: People, and hopefully you will participate in this in terms 546 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 7: of educating the audience the difference between the federal, the state, 547 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 7: the county, and the local government. The federal government is 548 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 7: at the top and that preempts all of the laws 549 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 7: going down, and so we can do everything that is possible. 550 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 7: But I will tell you that this city has a 551 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 7: long history of fighting for immigrant rights, but we have 552 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 7: never seen in our lifetime what is happening right now. 553 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: It's not She just admitted the federal government supersedes local government, 554 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: and under federal government law, no, they don't have any 555 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,920 Speaker 1: rights to stay, and yes, ICE can come in and 556 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 1: take them out. And she knows that she's going to 557 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: fight for immigrant rights. You'd actually have to change the 558 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: Constitution in federal law. The way everything's written, what's going 559 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: on is absolutely legal. 560 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 3: I gotta lie down. Mark Thompson's here. 561 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 4: I heard a little bit of you and the NIH 562 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 4: Guide today like that Jay by a Chrriot. That was 563 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 4: a really great conversation. Not a big not a big 564 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 4: Fauci fan. I'm picking up. No, No, he was never 565 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 4: really on the Fauci train. 566 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 1: Oh well, if you read his background, he was. He 567 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: wasn't crazy. He just you know, he thought the vaccines 568 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: worked out well. He understood while the first few months 569 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: everyone was in a panic. But you know, when the 570 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: when the data came in, it was clear that it 571 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: was largely the elderly and the Yeah, you kind. 572 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 4: Of made that point, like why didn't policy sort of 573 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 4: follow that data? But it was just and I thought 574 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 4: he was quite open and talking about the fact that 575 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 4: certain decisions are informed by other stuff that's going on. 576 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 4: And the Wuhan lockdown. That was a really interesting thing. 577 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 4: So if I would encourage people to check it out 578 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 4: on your pod, Yeah, on your world famous podcast. So 579 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 4: this Camill Farm thing, I know you, uh, I mean, I. 580 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 3: Don't know what. 581 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: Michael Monks came on for five minutes. Yeah, I have 582 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: no idea what this one's about. 583 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I guess it's about sort of what 584 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 4: they're doing where they drop a lot of ICE agents 585 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 4: and federal immigration enforcement into an area that they know 586 00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 4: is rich with people who are probably not here illegally. 587 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: I was wondering if the company was getting investigated. Yeah, 588 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: I mean the way that a Peril company was downtown. 589 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 3: Sure. 590 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 4: Sure, I mean you know this goes to something that 591 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 4: if you're really crafting immigration policy you have to look at, 592 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 4: which is, you know, should there be employer sanctions for 593 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,919 Speaker 4: this sort of thing? Should you have to be sure 594 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 4: that the people you're employing are conforming with the law. 595 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 1: They have this thing called Everify, which just most companies 596 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: don't use because you're not forced to use Everify. It's 597 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,839 Speaker 1: like running a credit card check and you find out 598 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 1: legal or illegal. 599 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 4: But why would you use it if there's no incentive 600 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 4: to use it or disincentive to not use it. A 601 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,479 Speaker 4: lot of companies don't use, of course not they want 602 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,479 Speaker 4: the low the immigrant labor they can hire a low costs. 603 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: I've always thought, going back a long time that you 604 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: go after the employers because that the employers have an 605 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 1: incentive not to hire. 606 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 3: Well, that drains the market. 607 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: Sure, and then put up something orderly where you match 608 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,760 Speaker 1: the number of immigrants to the industries where you really 609 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: can't get enough Americans to take. 610 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 4: The job, like a Brasero program. Yeah, yeah, just organize everything. 611 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 3: And you could hear. 612 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 4: Trump the other day kind of thinking that out loud 613 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 4: when he said, oh, we ought to have a thing 614 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,040 Speaker 4: for the You know, you got. 615 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 3: To quicken his thinking process and get it done. 616 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 4: Lady. 617 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 1: All right, anyway, we got a big show.
