1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Can't find 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
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: We are on from one to four every day, and

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: then after four o'clock it's John Cobelt's show on demand

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 2: on the iHeart app. Coming up, the Trump administration is

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: at war with a judge because this judge objects to

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: violent illegal alien gang members being deported without his permission.

8
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna go through what trend dear Ragua is

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: about the history behind this Venezuelan gang. They are one

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: of the most vicious, nastiest gangs you'll find in the

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: Eastern in the Western hemisphere.

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: Excuse me, today's happy spring, by the way, Happy spring. Yeah,

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: today's first day of spring. See I'm wearing pink. I'm

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: all uh, yes, you have bloomed today. I have bloom Yeah,

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: she's blossomed.

16
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: You know, the most famous murder of the twentieth century

17
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: was John Kennedy getting assassinated. And it is now, god

18
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 2: how many years later, it's sixty two years later, and

19
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: there are still a vast majority of people don't believe

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: it was just Lee Harvey Oswald. And there's been dozens

21
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: of theories, many books, I've read quite a few of

22
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: them over the years, and now we have this eighty

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: thousand page document dump, and you know, if you're waiting

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: to get a definitive answer, I don't know if that's coming.

25
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: But there is interesting stuff in there about Lee Harvey

26
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 2: Oswald and the CIA's interest in Oswald for years before

27
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: he committed the assassination. Let's talk to Brad Garrett, the

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: ABC News Crime and Terrorism analyst and see what he

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: has learned. Brad, how are you and I guess you've

30
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: read all eighty thousand pages already?

31
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: Huh, Well, I'm good and I have not read eighty

32
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: thousand pages. In the folks that are the experts on

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: this assassination, I think they're pretty consistently saying in their

34
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: preliminary review, in my preliminary review, there is no point

35
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 3: of phrase smoking gun. I do think as we go

36
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: through this voluminous paperwork that there'll be nuggets of information,

37
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: particularly about aspects of the case. Now, are they relevant

38
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: to the assassination that may or may not be the case?

39
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: You brought up the situation with the CIA that you

40
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 3: have Lee Harvey Olswell left active duty in the Marine

41
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: Corps in nineteen fifty nine. He had all sorts of

42
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: problems there, court martialed twice, was jailed by the Marines.

43
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 3: They finally released him as a private and then he

44
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 3: immediately moves to Russia, which you know, you think in

45
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: context of any of us moving to Russia in nineteen

46
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: fifty nine, middle of the Cold War, that mey right,

47
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: there be wonder reason the CIA was keeping track of me.

48
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: I have no idea, but they supposedly tracked him from

49
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: fifty nine through the assassination, supposedly survailed him at times,

50
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 3: supposedly monitored his communications, which I'm going to maybe gas

51
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: included wiretaps, since they were done pretty easily back then.

52
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: But be that wooded may. The CIA never came forward

53
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 3: to my knowledge, and there's nothing in the documents that

54
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: suggest that they came forward to let anybody know that

55
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: they had been looking at Oswald for something I think

56
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: clearly unrelated to killing the president, but or planning to

57
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: kill the president. But you know, because they've been so secretive,

58
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 3: apparently wouldn't talk to anybody. I don't even think, and

59
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: I don't know this job that the Warrant Commission may

60
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 3: not even have known that the CIA had been tracking

61
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: Oswald prior to the assassination. They certainly don't mention it,

62
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: and it may not be relevant to the actual assassination.

63
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 3: But the problem is, of course it doesn't. It doesn't

64
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: feel right. If you're a conspiracy theorist, you can play,

65
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: you can run with that, right, and and people will

66
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 3: run with that well.

67
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: I mean, apparently James Angleton was the counterintelligence chief at

68
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: the time for the CIA, and he was personally monitoring

69
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: Oswald for four years up until the assassination. And Osweald

70
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: just happens to be the guy who kills John Kennedy.

71
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: I mean, wow, that's a terrific coincidence, isn't it.

72
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it certainly is. And again there's nothing to suggest

73
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: the CIA had an anything to do with the assassination.

74
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: But you know, there's another tidbit that could play into this,

75
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: at least from a conspiracy standpoint. There was a guy

76
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: by the name of John I'm sorry, Arthur Selestionnger that

77
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: worked for Kennedy. He was an aide, and there is

78
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: a document apparently in this dump where he talks about

79
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: concerns that the CIA were affecting foreign policy because of

80
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 3: people they were recruiting in Allied countries around the world,

81
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: and apparently Kennedy didn't trust the CIA. Now you can

82
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: also do make hay with that, but you know how

83
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 3: many presidents haven't trusted the CIA. There's going to be

84
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: more than JFK. But be that what it made. That's

85
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: another piece of how do how does this really play out?

86
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 3: When you lay it all down, and even throwing in

87
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: this odd travel of Oswald weeks before or the assassination

88
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: where he traveled to Mexico City, I'm going to assume

89
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: the CIA monitored him. He went to the Russian embassy,

90
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: and he also went to the Cuban consulate. Like, okay,

91
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: what's that all about. We don't know. But if you're

92
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: a conspiracy theorist that you could run wild with that,

93
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 3: well you know where the Russians involved.

94
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 2: You know, it's hard, it's hard to believe that all

95
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: this stuff is nothing like the one guy who killed Kennedy,

96
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: you know, goes to live in Russia, goes to the

97
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: Russian embassy, goes to uh uh, Mexico. I mean, you know,

98
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: the CIA is all over him for four years. I mean,

99
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: I mean the CIA is also good at covering up

100
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 2: it's it's tracks, obviously, that's what that's their business. Whatever

101
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: they do, they don't leave any fingerprints.

102
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: No, But because they have been so secretive about all

103
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: of this, and particularly that was driven by Angleton at

104
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 3: least until he got fired in nineteen seventy.

105
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: Four, that.

106
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 3: You know, it could clarify what we're talking about, or

107
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: yet also make it worse, I suppose, depending on what

108
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: the truth is. But yeah, it's another big piece of

109
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 3: this case. And if you look at only the evidence

110
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: John that's in front of us, the real evidence, you know,

111
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 3: I think there's little doubt that Oswald was the shooter.

112
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: There is in some people's eyes, obviously, some doubt about

113
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 3: did somebody help him or motivate him or whatever, but

114
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: had a piece of having it done?

115
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: Was there anything about a possible second shooter, which has

116
00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 2: been a centerpiece of many conspiracy theories, somebody on the yeah.

117
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: Grass right now. I will tell you that a number

118
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: of pathologists and ballistics as experts have looked at this case.

119
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: And again you can find people that would disagree with

120
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 3: what I'm about to say, but you know they more

121
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: or less this one group more or less concluded that

122
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 3: because of I don't want to get too graphic here

123
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: about people getting shot, but the president was shot first

124
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: in the neck and in the head. When he was

125
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: shot in the neck, it obviously torqued his body a

126
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: certain way, and there's a belief that that would be

127
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: simplistic here, but that that movement and then the second shot,

128
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: that shot even had some I guess we're arguing that

129
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 3: it had to have come from two different directions. These

130
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 3: folks don't believe that that's the case, but we don't know.

131
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: I mean, clearly, no one else was found. There is

132
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: clear evidence that Oswald used alias. In fact, he had

133
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: a fake Selective Service card with his picture on it

134
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: on his person when he was arrested with another name,

135
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: and he used that name to buy both weapons. He

136
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 3: bought a long gun and a handgun that were mailed

137
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: to him, and obviously he uses the rifle to kill

138
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 3: the president. But then you might recall he killed Dallas

139
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: police officer and he used the handgun to do that.

140
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: So all that's on him. So with the existing evidence,

141
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,959
Speaker 3: it's obviously still him and you know, whatever else you

142
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: was attached to.

143
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 2: Him, But you know what, did somebody hire him? I

144
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: guess that that is the well the hanging question. Did

145
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: he just this was his own bizarre obsession or did

146
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: somebody make it worthwhile for him to carry this out?

147
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? He really was seeking fame like a lot of shooters. Yeah,

148
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: do they want recognition. And my guess is based on

149
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: what I know of his personality, that certainly played into it.

150
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 3: Now you could play he could still have been hired.

151
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: All I'm saying is this was a day of glory

152
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: for him.

153
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: Right all right, Brad, thank you for coming on.

154
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: You're welcome. Take care.

155
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: John Brad Garrett.

156
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: ABC News Crime Terrors and analyst on the eighty thousand

157
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: pages that have been released by the Trump administration on

158
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: the Kennedy assassination. And everything is almost as murky now

159
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: as it was last week. So I thought this was

160
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: going to be it.

161
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: Baby.

167
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Now.

168
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 2: This trendy I wagaportation story is I find this fascinating

169
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: because I is there other than other than other.

170
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: Terrorists and anarchists.

171
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: Is there anybody who doesn't think that deporting two hundred

172
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 2: and sixty plus illegal alien violent gang members is a

173
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 2: good thing. Does anyone actually believe that it shouldn't be

174
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: done immediately? They used the Trump administration use an act

175
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: that you that they normally use in war time. And

176
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 2: their argument is is that Trendi Ragua is like an

177
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: invasive army from Venezuela. I mean, they've come here and

178
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: they've raped and killed a number of people, and they're

179
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: here to smuggle drugs which have killed thousands of people,

180
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: and smuggle human beings and sell them in the sex trade.

181
00:11:54,360 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: There's it's all really awful stuff. And they're organized, and

182
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 2: they came out of Venezuelan prisons. I mean, this gang

183
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: was founded in Venezuelan prison. I don't understand why this

184
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: judge is upset shocking that the ACLU filed a lawsuit

185
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: to try to keep these guys in the country. I mean,

186
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: we really have subversive organizations in the country. They are

187
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: so far left, and we have judges that are so

188
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: far left. They're part of the movement, They're part of

189
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: the desire that we should have to live with violent

190
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: international terrorists. They've been designated terrorists by the US government.

191
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: I don't understand a judge going after the Trump administration

192
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: as if they're the bad guys for deporting two hundred

193
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 2: and sixty terrorists between Trendyarragua. And they also have a

194
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: number of Marisavatrucia gang members from El Salvador. They got

195
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 2: shipped Tel Salvador. And you've probably heard the story now

196
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 2: if you've been keeping track of this. They were put

197
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: on planes. The judge ordered them, basically ordered the planes

198
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: to come back to bring the prisoners back, and the

199
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 2: Trump administration pretended not to hear them, and they said, oh,

200
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: the planes are an international airspace.

201
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: There's nothing we can do.

202
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 2: And they landed in El Salvadora and the l Salvadorian

203
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 2: president said, oopsie. Oh well, actually put that out on

204
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: social media.

205
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Oopsie.

206
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: So today, this federal judge, and his name is James Boseburg,

207
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: he's come closer and this is through the New York Times,

208
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: so you have to adjust for the skew. They say

209
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 2: he's come closer to holding the Trump administration in contempt

210
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 2: for possibly violating an order he issued last week. Stopping

211
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: the deportation. Trump people said that he gave an oral

212
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: order in court that he hadn't done the written order yet,

213
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 2: and by the time the written order came out it

214
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 2: was too late. They were off on the planes. The

215
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 2: Times writer claims in an angrily written order, the judge

216
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 2: told the administration to explain by Tuesday. Next Tuesday, why

217
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: officials explain that they had not violated his instructions. It's like,

218
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: if you didn't violate my instructions, explained.

219
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: To me what went on?

220
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: Because the Trump administration is not giving him any details,

221
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 2: he says, the Justice Department is stonewalling him.

222
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: He can't get information.

223
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: He says, the government is evading its obligations, that the

224
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: recent filing is woefully insufficient, and.

225
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: He said, look, just tell me what the story is.

226
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: We'll put it under seal.

227
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: And the Trump people are might invoke a doctrine called

228
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 2: the State Secrets privilege to get out of turning over

229
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: the information. What is the judge fighting so hard about here?

230
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: If this is this is primarily used in wartime against

231
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 2: alien soldiers who are out to do harm to the

232
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 2: United States, let me let me and this is this

233
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: is pretty close to what trendy Iarragua is about let's

234
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 2: just go by what they have into Wikipedia trendy Iragua

235
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: is a transnational criminal organization and a US designated foreign

236
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: terrorist organization. Has over five thousand members from Venezuela and

237
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: the gang has expanded throughout Latin America and the United

238
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 2: States because of the Venezuelan refugee crisis. So because we

239
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: opened our southern border, we got thousands of criminal gang members.

240
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: Due to the enormity of its crimes, combating the gang

241
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 2: has become a priority to many nations.

242
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: It's not just us. When the Tocoron Prison.

243
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: Was overtaken by Venezuelan security forces, the Torquuran Prison is

244
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: where this gang originated. The leadership escaped, and the gang

245
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: activities are currently ongoing. The primarily Venezuelan and it's the

246
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: first Venezuelan criminal organization to expand abroad. It's in Columbia, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Panama,

247
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: Costa Rica, Chile, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States.

248
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: It has a particularly dominant role in human trafficking and

249
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: human smuggling. They engage in a variety of criminal activities,

250
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: arms trafficking, bribery, drug trafficking, illegal mining, kidnappings for ransom,

251
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: and money laundering. Well, I don't understand what's the problem

252
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: with with putting them on a plane as quickly as

253
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 2: possible and dumping in an El Salvador in prison. That's

254
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: what you want our federal government to do. This is

255
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: what Joe Biden would have done. This is what all

256
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: presidents ought to do. What do you have this kind

257
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: of threat and they were raping and killing people. I'm

258
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: just James Boseburg wants to hold the Trump administration in

259
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 2: contempt and then what we are you gonna jail them?

260
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: This is a baffling waste of time. Be happy that

261
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: they're all gone.

262
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 2: What's the argument that they should stay. They're all here

263
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: illegally to begin with. So he put them on a

264
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: plane fast and found a foreign country to imprison them.

265
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 2: I can't think of a bigger win. I mean, I've

266
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: wanted all my life for a president to take that

267
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: kind of action.

268
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: Don't you think both? I mean, the public was over

269
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: I think.

270
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: It was eighty three percent in favor of deporting criminal

271
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. I bet you it's ninety percent in favor

272
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 2: of sending out illegal alien, violent gang members. But you

273
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 2: know there's always that ten percent, and I guess James Boseburg,

274
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: the judge, is one of them.

275
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

276
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 4: six forty coming up.

277
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: After after three O'clockie Katie Grimes from californiaglobe dot com

278
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: is going to come on with us. There is a

279
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 2: new study out that has concluded this is kind of

280
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 2: from the obvious desk, that California's high gasoline prices are

281
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: self imposed by state officials and politicians, that it's the

282
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: California government responsible. This is from USC a professor named

283
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: Michael Miche and that was obvious to be all this time,

284
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: because we have the highest gas taxes on the planet

285
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 2: and that's why our gas sometimes is two dollars more

286
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: a gallon than many other states. Of course, Newsom blames

287
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: the greed of oil and gas companies. It's it's false.

288
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: He lies a lot. It is the government. And now

289
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 2: this USA report says, so we're also going to talk

290
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: about Tony Strickland, who's a seen assemblyman or state senator.

291
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: He's he's a state senator from Huntington beach, and he

292
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: proposed a bill to defund high speed rail and use

293
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 2: that money to reduce the gas tax, because I remember

294
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: there's still a sixty five cent gas tax coming because

295
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: of the California A Resources Board. We'll go through all

296
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: this coming up after three o'clock. Well, it looks like

297
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: we know to some extent. Why at a plane in

298
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: Canada flipped over while it was landing. You remember this,

299
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: I do, February seventeenth. Yes, the plane was. It was

300
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: Delta plane flying from Minneapolis to Toronto, and it had

301
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 2: been snowing a lot, and at the moment that the

302
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: plane landed, there were high winds and very cold temperatures,

303
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 2: and the plane came and skidded and flipped over and

304
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 2: everybody was turned upside down.

305
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: Twenty one people were hurt, but nobody died.

306
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: And it turns out that when they landed and they

307
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: hit the ground too hard and they were going too fast,

308
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: which was very similar to that plane I was on

309
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, the same the fact when

310
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: the plane I was on landed and started skidding, you

311
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: could tell it had been going too fast and hit

312
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: the ground too hard.

313
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: First thing I thought of in my head. It was

314
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: the Delta plane that had gone upside down.

315
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: So it says the jets right main landing gear collapsed

316
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: after hitting the runway. It was it was going one

317
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty five miles an hour. That is not

318
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 2: landing speed.

319
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't think. I am not an aeron. I was

320
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: gonna say the same, but it just doesn't seem right.

321
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,479
Speaker 2: Yes, and I look, well, look at the conclusion. They

322
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: hit so hard that it bust. It just busted landing gear.

323
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: Don't they teach pilots that kind of thing.

324
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 2: Well, that's what's funny because Delta's CEO Ed Bastian praised

325
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: the actions of the flight crew. This is what we

326
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: trained for. We trained for this continuously. Well, you trained

327
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 2: for what the plane flipping over?

328
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Well, because because the flight, the flight attendants, they handled

329
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: the emergency. They're talking about the pilot.

330
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: Right right, you're right, Yes, it was. It was the

331
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: whole fright flight group getting everybody out. Yes, the people

332
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 2: just had to climb out, right. I guess those those

333
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 2: landing those shoots don't really work when you're upside down. Yeah, yeah,

334
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: it's the Uh so what happened is when they hit

335
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 2: the ground that hard, Uh. The the landing gear folded

336
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 2: into the retracted position, and part of the gear is

337
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 2: called the side stay, Well that was fractured. That is

338
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: that is attached to the main landing gear. So that fractured,

339
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 2: and the wing root fractured between the fuselage and the

340
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 2: landing gear, and the wing detached from the fuselage, and

341
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: that released a cloud of jet fuel which caught fire.

342
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: You're following all this, We had a lot of fractures there.

343
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: It's said, just like if you fall out of a

344
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 2: window and you break your legs, right, you end up

345
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: with a lot of fun.

346
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: That's really what it was.

347
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 2: It's it's like the plane fell out, fell off, fell

348
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: out of a window, and the exact sequence is still

349
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: to be determined.

350
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: The Uh. I'd never seen a plane land and then

351
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: flip over. I have not either, And I'm really glad

352
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: I wasn't on that plane. Yeah, and I'm telling you, I, Uh,

353
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: same thing happened here to me. Although the plane didn't

354
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: flip over, John, you were just fine, just nervous.

355
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: My plane didn't flip over, but it was skidding and

356
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 2: careening and squealing, and the passengers were howling. Were you howling?

357
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 4: No?

358
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,360
Speaker 1: I don't react when things like that happen. I don't

359
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: know why that's good. I just stare. You just stare,

360
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: you stay calm. Yeah, uh, well because I screaming doesn't

361
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 1: change things. Yeah, but you don't. You don't necessarily. Uh,

362
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: you don't make up your mind to scream. It just

363
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: sometimes it just never comes out. I never scream at anything.

364
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: Do you ever cry? No? Almost never.

365
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: No.

366
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: When I was little, I cried a lot and then

367
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: I stopped.

368
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: You should have been me as a kid, right, But

369
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 2: then one day I stopped and I just ever did

370
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 2: it again because it doesn't do anything. Well, I've realized

371
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: nobody cares. I can cry and be upset, but nobody's

372
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 2: gonna care.

373
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: But you know what, crying it is good for your eyes.

374
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: Maybe that's why my eyesight though it has been so bad. Well,

375
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 2: there you go, until I met doctor Manger, who was terrible.

376
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: So that's the story there. Now, I got a story

377
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 2: coming up next. H You know, Florida has been gaining

378
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: a lot of residents. In California has been losing tons

379
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 2: of residents. It's going to affect the electoral college because

380
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: the more residents you get in a state, the more

381
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 2: congress people you get, and the more electoral votes you

382
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: get in a presidential election. If your state that's losing population,

383
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 2: you lose congressional seats, you lose electoral votes. In California

384
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 2: has went down in the last cycle, Florida went up.

385
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: States like Texas and Florida are increasing in political power,

386
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,880
Speaker 2: and if they stay Republican as a majority, then it's

387
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: going to be harder and harder for the Democrats to

388
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 2: win because their main power base is well New York, Illinois,

389
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: New Jersey, California all losing residents, and Florida is dangling

390
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: possibly a beautiful lord to get more people to move.

391
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: They are thinking about ditching their property tax. That you

392
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 2: could own a home in Florida which costs far less

393
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: than the home in California, and the weather's really.

394
00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: Good, except you have alligators. You do have allocations in

395
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: the negative column.

396
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 2: Okay, anyway, no property taxes on one side, alligatator. But

397
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 2: then you could afford to walk around with a big

398
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 2: stick to beat off the alligators. True, all right, so

399
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: we come back. I'll explain, because this is serious. Ron

400
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 2: DeSantis is behind it, and there's a number of bills

401
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 2: in the legislature because the property because they a lot

402
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: of property in Florida has has gone up in value dramatically.

403
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: People are moving there, especially after COVID. So what happens

404
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: in most states is the higher the value of your property,

405
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: well as it as it increases, so does the tax.

406
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: And you could be sitting in your house, growing older,

407
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: minding your own business. Uh, you have a stable income,

408
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,479
Speaker 2: fixed income, but the cost of your property taxes forces

409
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: you out of the home.

410
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: Talk about this coming up.

411
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 2: You're listening to John cobbels Man from KFI A six

412
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 2: the moistline. We have room on the moistline eight seven

413
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: seven moist eighty six. Get to it eight seven seven

414
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: moist eighty six. We're gonna talk about this next hour.

415
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: Definitely worth weighing in on on the moistlide. City of

416
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 2: Los Angeles is bankrupt, a billion dollar deficit. They're gonna

417
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: lay off thousands of workers potentially. Wow, just like Elon

418
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 2: Musk did in Washington. Let's see if Karen Bass gets

419
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 2: the same kind of abuse. Are they going to be

420
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: burning cars in the streets when Carrien Bass lays off

421
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: thousands of government workers?

422
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: Huh.

423
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 2: We'll see in Florida they have got a radical idea.

424
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 2: I spend a lot of time in Florida. We have

425
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 2: a place there, not a lot of time, but sometime,

426
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 2: and it is a much better run state by far.

427
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: It's a much more rational state. Everybody's got problems, but

428
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 2: it's how you deal with the problems. Florida doesn't have

429
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: an income tax, which is why a lot of celebrities,

430
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: a lot of athletes, they go to Florida. Why give

431
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: fourteen percent of your income to Gavin Newsom, I think,

432
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: say that out loud. I'm wealthy, I'm successful, I'm famous,

433
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna give fourteen percent of my income to

434
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom whatever he wants to do with it. Now,

435
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: as we learned yesterday, the state of California is broke

436
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: because they've blown over ten billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare.

437
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 2: Found out today the city of Los Angeles is broke

438
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 2: and they're gonna lay off thousands. Florida not only is

439
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: no income tax, they are considering ditching their property tax.

440
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: And because.

441
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: Older people in Florida, and you know, it's fundamentally unfair.

442
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: I grew up in New Jersey and this was an

443
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: issue in New Jersey Let's say you've paid for your house.

444
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: You're older, you're in your sixties or seventies or older

445
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: than that, and now you're on a smaller income, a

446
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 2: fixed income, and you have this huge property tax bill

447
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: that gets bigger and bigger and swallows all your discretionary income.

448
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: You go bankrupt staying in your house. And I thought,

449
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,479
Speaker 2: that's just fundamentally wrong. That is unfair. You work all

450
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: your life, you paid for your house, and now the

451
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: government drives you out of your house with this successive taxation.

452
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: And again, where does the money go. It goes to

453
00:29:55,360 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: illegal aliens. It goes to these criminal homeless nonprofits. I'm

454
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: amazed people even pay their taxes anymore in this state.

455
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: I really do, because when you see what they're doing

456
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: with it. So Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor, and what

457
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: I like about him is he gets all kinds of

458
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: criticism from the wacko progressives and he just doesn't give

459
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: a crap.

460
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: And that's how you have to treat them.

461
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, fine, keep the appen, he told the legislature,

462
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: and they got to do something about property taxes. And

463
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: so the legislators have filed dozens of bills. Including some

464
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: to end property taxes entirely because in Florida, insurance rates

465
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 2: similar to California, are very high because they've had those hurricanes,

466
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 2: and because of the influx of new residents people fleeing

467
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: cold weather lockdown states like New York, New Jersey, Illinois,

468
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: and California. People poured into Florida between twenty twenty and

469
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, and so the property values have gone

470
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 2: up twenty seven percent. Now, Florida never had a Prop

471
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 2: thirteen like we do here in California. In California, your

472
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: tax rate is suppressed, just goes up maybe two percent

473
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 2: a year, I think because of Prop thirteen. But there

474
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: is no such thing in Florida, and the taxes are

475
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: skyrocketing and insurance is skyrocketing. So Ron DeSantis what he

476
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,239
Speaker 2: sees people are suffering from overtaxation. His idea is, well,

477
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: let's cut the taxes. Maybe let's end that tax See

478
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 2: that's rational. Here in California, they punish you further. Now California,

479
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 2: Florida's tax rate ranked twenty eighth nationally property tax but

480
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: as the real estate values surge, the total amount in

481
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: property tax money has doubled over the last decade, and

482
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: this really hurts for Tyrese.

483
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example.

484
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 2: They've got one couple here, Zoe Losada, and a year

485
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: after the purchase, she saw her property tax bill explode

486
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 2: from six thousand to almost eleven thousand dollars because the

487
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: value of her home was reassessed. Now, between the taxes

488
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 2: and the insurance costs, she says, I can't I will

489
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 2: not be able to retire in this house. Her husband's retired,

490
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: he's in his eighties. I'm the only one working. We're

491
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 2: losing money every day. Imagine you're losing money just living

492
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: in your house. That's how fast the property taxes are

493
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: going up. But again, the Republican Legislature Ron De Santis says,

494
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 2: this has to stop. We're either going to rework, We're

495
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: going to lower the property taxes, get rid of it entirely.

496
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: They'd have to raise their sales tax. But with a

497
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: sales tax increase, at least you can control how much

498
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: you're going to buy and what you're going to buy.

499
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: With a property tax, it goes up. You're just sitting there,

500
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 2: you're sleeping, and you're being forced out of your home

501
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 2: by the government, which is just wrong. And back when

502
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 2: we had same people in California in nineteen seventy eight,

503
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: they passed Prop thirteen to limit that kind of damage.

504
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 2: And what have they been doing ever since in California

505
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: trying ways to get around Prop thirteen to repeal parts

506
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 2: at thirteen. That's what much of the government does day

507
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: and night, think of ways to undo Prop thirteen. Because

508
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: they need money for illegal alien health care, because they

509
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: need money to fund a fake high speed rail. They

510
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 2: need money to give away to the criminals who have

511
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: the homeless nonprofits. And we're going to talk a lot

512
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 2: about that when we come back. We're going to have

513
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 2: Katie Grimes on because you know, there's another sixty five

514
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: cent gas tax increase coming to California. I told you

515
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: about this a few months ago. It's coming and the

516
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: legislature refuses to stop it. And Katie had a story

517
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 2: in the California Globe dot com this week about they've

518
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: done a study at USC and for fifty years, the

519
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: overwhelming reason that we have higher gas prices in California

520
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: is the California government is all their taxes and regulations

521
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: hasn't been in the oil and gas companies, says the

522
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 2: USC researcher. It's the government, which I thought was obvious,

523
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: but it's nice to have an academic back it up

524
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,359
Speaker 2: with research. We'll tell you about it next Debra Mark

525
