The Senate 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 2: today announced a six hundred page bill that's supposedly going 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: to be a major, a major reworking of immigration law. 11 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 2: We'll see. We're going to talk with Art Arthur Center 12 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: for Immigration Studies. He's the Resident Fellow in Law and Policy. 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: He's had a long legal career in government, and he's 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: read the entire six hundred page bill. And I bet 15 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: you you'll go the next month without finding another person 16 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: who's read the whole bill, but Arthur over the weekend. 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 2: It sounds like a lot of fun. And he's with 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: us a right welcome, how are you hey. 19 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: I'm doing great, And you know, just one quick correction, 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: it's not six hundred pages, it's only three hundred and seventy. 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: But that's bad enough. And you know, I wish to 22 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: say I wish you could say that they introduced it 23 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: the light of day. No, they introduced it at seven 24 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: o'clock on a Sunday night, which more or less tells 25 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: you where this is going. 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: So that's what you did last night. 27 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: Huh, That's what I did last night and started at 28 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: six o'clock this morning. So it's been a rollicking adventure 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: through the creative mind of the best people that the 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: Biden administration has. 31 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: You really have obviously, you have to have the intelligence, 32 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 2: you have to have the patience and the focus because 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: those things are worded a little densely, and that's quite 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: an achievement to get through the whole thing because most 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: Congressmen and senators don't read their bills. 36 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and this one is especially problematic because it constantly 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: refers back to itself, refers back to our team, provisions 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: of the I in A and you know, various procedures 39 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: that people just aren't familiar with. So, yeah, this one 40 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: was was truly a piece of work. 41 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: John, Well, this is I've been tracking the progress of 42 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: this issue and this particular bill, and I have not 43 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 2: been able to get a handle on what it would 44 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: do and whether I trust that it really would do 45 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: what it claims. What was your impression after reading the 46 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: whole thing? What would it do? And do you trust it? 47 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: Well? Actually, you know my impression when I came away 48 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 1: from this is rewarding bad behavior the Biden administration, the course, 49 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: is engaged in, you know, numerous instances of mouth easince 50 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: or non seas and Southwest border and in responds to 51 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: all of that. The Senate, including at least one set 52 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: of Republican has decided to reward the Biden administration with 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: new authorities. You know, we know it. They've been engaged 54 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: in cash and relief that's been going on for quite 55 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: a while. This takes the mandatory detention provision for legal 56 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: aliens in the Immigration and Nationality leaves it in place, 57 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: but then creates a separate mandatory release policy that puts 58 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: those aliens on a fast track to work authorization in 59 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: the United States. Now, if you don't think that that's 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: going to encourage even more people that of the United 61 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: States illegally, well, you know, you would be unfamiliar with 62 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: the economics of smuggling and illegal migration to the United States, 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: because the moment that you put people on a tract 64 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: to citizenship, which this would expedite that process. The moment 65 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: that you give people employment authorization more quickly, the more 66 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: people who are going to come and take advantage of 67 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: that offer. Now, it does have that five pouss of 68 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: the daycap. That is probably one of the screws provisions 69 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: and the laws. 70 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: So can I stop you on that? One five thousand 71 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: a day is obviously thirty five thousand a week and 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: that's yeah, that's well over one hundred thousand a month, 73 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: and what almost a million and a half a year, 74 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: So and that's illegal aliens a million and a half 75 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: a year. Well, that's that's absurd. 76 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: It's utterly absurd. In fact, it's worse than you described, 77 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: because that's one point eight two five million aliens. You're 78 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 1: one point eight three million in a leap year. But yeah, 79 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, it is absurd, and it's well beyond the 80 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: capability of border patrol agents to you know, even process 81 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: those individuals in any meaningful way, let alone to remove 82 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: them from the United States. And this bill, you know, 83 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: sets you know several you know you're going to hear 84 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: people say, oh, you know, this speeds up the asylum system. 85 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 2: No, it doesn't. 86 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: It creates a completely parallel system without all the protections 87 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: that the American people get from the current system. U. 88 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 1: And you know it's simply going to overwhelm that system 89 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: as well. So instead of one dysfunctional adjudicatory body, you're 90 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: going to have two when this is over. Job. 91 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 2: Is there anything about closing the border in this bill? 92 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 2: I mean, three hundred and seventy pages. We just need 93 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: one line President mandated to close the border, period. 94 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know it's funny because we talk about 95 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: the bad behavior. There are already two separate mandates in 96 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: the law for the Secretary of Hopeland Security to do 97 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 1: both that he has both the authority and the duty 98 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: to ensure that there are no illegal aliens allowed end 99 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: of the United States. And then in the Secure Fence 100 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: Act of two thousand and six, which Joe Biden, Barack Obama, 101 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: and Hillary Clinton all voted in favor of, it tells 102 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: him to do it again, justs in case he missed it. 103 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, it doesn't waive any of those restrictions, but 104 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: it sure does open the door to allow him to 105 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: ignore them. 106 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: If Biden has been ignoring all the immigration laws that 107 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: are on the books, what's the point of this one, 108 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 2: because there's plenty of laws that require him or allow 109 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 2: him to severely restrict the flow at the border. They 110 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: just don't want to. This is the plan was to 111 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: let all these people in. So what's the I don't 112 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: understand the point of this bill because there are a 113 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: lot of Republicans jumping up and down saying this is great. 114 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 2: I don't get it. 115 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's interesting because, you know, Joe Biden 116 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: complains that he doesn't have the authority that he needs. Well, 117 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Barack Obaman, for what it's worth, George W. 118 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: Bush all seemed to find the authority that they needed 119 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: to drive the number of people entering illegally down to 120 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: just about one thousand a day a little bit more. 121 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: But you know, thanks to the policies that Joe Biden 122 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: has himself implemented, and thanks to the you know, his 123 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: willful ignorance of what the law requires, we are at 124 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: a situation right now where we had two hundred and 125 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: fifty thousand illegal aliens show up at the Southwest border 126 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: in December alone. So you know, I guess that you're 127 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: talking about two hundred and fifty thousand a month and 128 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: you could drive that down to you know, one hundred 129 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand a month, you could say that you're 130 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: making progress, but it doesn't matter because all of that's 131 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: going to overwhelm the system. Overwhelmed border patrol agents are 132 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: not going to be able to stop everybody to come in. 133 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: So when you look at the drugs that end up 134 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: in the streets or the criminal aliens that end up 135 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: in the streets, we've had a number of high profile 136 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: cases involving that of late. You know, those people get 137 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: in because of the system that's overwhelmed. We need to 138 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: put a stop to what's going on right now. Control 139 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: the system. Try to work through the three million plus 140 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: people who have been released illegally already and the one 141 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: point seven million that have evaded apprehension. Let's move those 142 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: through those people first, and if you want to fix 143 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: the border thereafter, you know, you could do something different, 144 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: but let's just enforce the laws we have right now. 145 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 2: Wait when you have seven illegal aliens beating two cops 146 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 2: up mercilessly in New York City and they get arrested 147 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 2: and then released immediately on no bail, is there ever 148 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: a tipping point with the public here? Does a Biden 149 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: administration ever have a day where they feel like, boy, 150 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 2: this has gone way too far. We got to stop. 151 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because when you have Kathy Hochel, 152 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: the Democratic governor of New York, say you know, enough 153 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: is enough, just you know, throw all these people out, 154 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: you think that you were pretty close to that. But 155 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: you know, Governor Hopel is advised by people who actually, 156 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: to one degree or another, care about the welfare of 157 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: New York. The main focus John for all of these 158 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: people who are coming to the border illegally. Amongst the 159 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: musties that Joe Biden has surrounded himself with is the 160 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: interests of the aliens themselves and ensuring that, you know, 161 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: each one of them has the opportunity to make an 162 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: asilent claim in this country. It's important to understand, and 163 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: you know I'm not making this up. I can point 164 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: you the specific documents. The Biden administration treats the Immigration 165 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: and Nationality Act the darkest laws that were ever passed 166 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: through the discriminatory history of the United States. They treat 167 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: it like Jim Crow, and so they apply it the 168 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 1: same way that they would apply those you know, horrible 169 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: laws that we saw enforced in the South, you know, 170 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: during the reconstruction era. 171 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 2: So that's what they really think. Huh. They think that's 172 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 2: what border law is, like Jim Crow law. 173 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: That's exactly what they think. And you know, by definition, 174 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 1: there is a distinction between citizens on the one hand 175 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: and aliens on the other. They want to do the 176 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: best that they can to alive that distinction, at least 177 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: at the Southwest border for any and all who want 178 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: to come to the United States illegally. 179 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 2: That's shocking stuff. So I guess in summation, this bill 180 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: is not going to make life better when it comes 181 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 2: to the board. 182 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: To make life better, but fortunately it's probably not going 183 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: to see the light of day either. I mean, even 184 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: if Mike Johnson, a man who I've actually you know, 185 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: had the opportunity interact with in the past, didn't really 186 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: care about the welfare of the United States politically, he 187 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: would care about his ability to hold on to his 188 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,959 Speaker 1: current office, and if he allows anything like this to 189 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: ever get to a vote on the floor of the House, 190 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: his hold on the Speaker's gabble would be in periled. 191 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: But honestly, deeply, in his heart, he cares about this. 192 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: He truly does understand the issues and he wants to 193 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: make it better. It's going to be a fight between 194 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: the House and the Senate. 195 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: Well Art, Arthur, thank you for coming on and explaining 196 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: all this, and thank. 197 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: You so much for having me.

From the 200 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: Center for Immigration Studies, Arthur, we come back. We have 201 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 2: we have one thousand dollars to give away to somebody, 202 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: and we have a breakthrough in the French bulldog theft. 203 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: All right, so that's exciting news. 204 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 3: In case you haven't heard, you're listening to John Cobelt 205 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: on demand from KFI Am six. 206 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 2: Voting breaking news.

But she was sitting at just eating 216 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 2: lunch and she had her She had Onyx, a black 217 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: and white speckled French bulldog with different colored eyes beautiful 218 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 2: left is blue right when green and some woman came. 219 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,439 Speaker 2: She was sitting and eating and pulled the dog away 220 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,839 Speaker 2: and walked away. And if you remember we had Ali 221 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: on the show, she tried to follow the woman into 222 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 2: a car. It was a white Kia with four people inside, 223 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 2: and they pushed her out and that's when she stood 224 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 2: in front of the car and ended up on the 225 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: on the hood. And she has given as many interviews 226 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: as possible. And now the uh, the woman who took 227 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 2: the dog, Sadie Slater, has been arrested in connection with 228 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: the crime. And that's what LAPD said. But no word 229 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 2: on the other three and no word on the dog. 230 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: I got an answer. 231 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 4: I was texting Ali over the weekend and she did 232 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 4: tell me that the cops have told her that they 233 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 4: are close. And then Saturday happened, and then they announced 234 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 4: the arrest of one of the dirt bags in the car. 235 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 4: But as far as the dog is concerned, she doesn't 236 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 4: have her dog yet. 237 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 2: No yet, are they close to the other three they 238 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 2: might be. 239 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 4: In my expertise and how I've seen these cases go down. 240 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 4: They grab one person and then they try to get 241 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 4: them to rat on everybody else, thinking, you know you're 242 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 4: gonna get off, you know, tell us what you can. 243 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 4: Where's the dog? Where are these other people? And I 244 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 4: think that's probably where they are right now. 245 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 2: Now. 246 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 4: I don't know, And I want to find out if 247 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 4: this suspect, this arrest, if she is still still in jail, 248 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 4: that's what we want to find out. 249 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 2: Are they squeezing her as a Saturday she was, but 250 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: it's already Monday now, and you know Gascone, you know, 251 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: I mean she's out the door. You know, she's probably 252 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: out the door Sunday morning, right, Yeah, it's just a 253 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: stupid headline. That's what they do. Yeah, I know, I mean, 254 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: Gascone doesn't care if little kids get murdered. He's not 255 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: gonna care about a dog. Where's the dog? 256 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 4: And Ali is asking the same question, where's a dog? 257 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 4: And you know she doesn't want to piss off the 258 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,199 Speaker 4: cops because that's what happens is if she goes starts 259 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 4: doing interviews and starts saying, you know, I don't trust 260 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 4: what Gascone's gonna do or I don't know what he's 261 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 4: gonna you know, I don't trust it that you know 262 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 4: that that these people know what they're doing, then they're 263 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 4: gonna stop looking, you know. So there and it's just 264 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 4: not her. It's a lot of people in the news 265 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 4: stories that we cover, they're afraid to say anything because 266 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 4: you know, they're they're gonna get you know, looked at 267 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 4: sideways by like the Tiffany Black Nails and the gascones 268 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 4: and all the other goons that are working in the 269 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 4: prosecutor's office. 270 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, you can't appeal to the prosecutor because 271 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 2: they are the anime. They're on the side of the thieves. 272 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 2: The Click and Brewmer story. Remember we did the cop Yeah, 273 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 2: we got killed. 274 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 4: And and and they got blindsided because they didn't know 275 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: that Gascone wasn't gonna go for the death penalty. And 276 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 4: then she was afraid to out and she's finally said, 277 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 4: you know what, screw that, I'm speaking out. 278 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: That's how he gets his power. He doesn't get any 279 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: criticism because everybody's intimidated by him. You know that. That's 280 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: that's how bullies work. Anyway. 281 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 4: L I. P. D. 282 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: Gang and Narcotics Division and US Marshall's Fugitive Task Force 283 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: teamed up to take her in. Does she have a record? 284 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 2: Do we know she must have a record, Fugitive Task Force. Uh, 285 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 2: this can't be the first time Sadie Slater did something wrong. Uh. 286 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: And still no dog, Still no dog? No ONX. Thing 287 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: is that dog is so valuable. So you think the 288 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: dog somebody bought the dog. I would think, yeah, they 289 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: that they're stolen for resale, right, so now we need 290 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: to find those people. 291 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, think that the motive would be to steal a 292 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 4: dog and to have the dog start, you know, impregnating 293 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 4: other dogs. Oh could be yeah, maybe somebody can uh 294 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 4: can kidnap me? 295 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 2: You've been fixed, Remember he needs more fixing. I don't 296 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 2: think the fixing took well. So, I mean ONYX may 297 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 2: be having the time of his life for all we know. Okay, 298 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: but this might be a victimless crime. 299 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: This woman who was arrested, she needs to spill the 300 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: beans and say who she gave this. 301 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: Dog to or where is I'd lock her. I want 302 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: to interrogate her. I'd lock her in a room with you. 303 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: She's out of there in thirty seconds. She's pleading for murder. 304 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: Let's do it all right. We've got more coming up, 305 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: a lot of stuff coming up. I don't want to 306 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 2: be vague about it, but I've got to choose. I've 307 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: got too many things here. The weather's getting in the 308 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: way on me. 309 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 3: Today you're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI 310 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 3: Am sixty. 311 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: Today is the day that La County is sending out 312 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 2: election day ballots for the March fifth primary, Tuesday, March fifth, 313 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 2: because the advanced voting period is starting very soon, so 314 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 2: you will be mailed your ballots today. They should show 315 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: up in your mailbox tomorrow or Wednesday, or with all 316 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 2: the rain, I don't know, maybe in a week, and 317 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 2: though pilots will probably be wet and soggy and unreadable, 318 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: but whatever, when they dry out. If you vote by mail, 319 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: you could vote very soon. We'll be explaining all this 320 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 2: along the way, because most people are expecting the vast 321 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: majority of votes to be by mail now, and they're 322 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 2: also going to have a walking period for about two 323 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 2: weeks in advance of primary day.

You can do it ahead of time anyway. 325 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 2: The big issue on the ballot is gascone, he's got 326 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 2: what is he got? I think eleven people running against 327 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: him and not ten people running against him. I was 328 00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: going through the ballot the other day and I found 329 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 2: two more guys hadn't heard of. So there there are. 330 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: There are a lot of people running. A few of 331 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: them are moderately known, quite a few are unknown. And 332 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 2: we've done our best here. I think we've had nine 333 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 2: eight or nine different candidates on and one of them 334 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: is Nate Hawkman. And we're going to Nathan Hakman again 335 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 2: coming up after the three o'clock hour and talk about 336 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,959 Speaker 2: his role in convincing Newsom to reverse the parole board 337 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 2: on a on a man who murdered a sheriff's chaplain 338 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: and shot a deputy in La County and he was 339 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: about to be let go by the parole board, and 340 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 2: Hawkman started a public campaign and Newsom reversed the parole board. 341 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 2: So it's it's a good story and we'll tell you 342 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 2: about it after three o'clock here with candidate Nathan Hockman 343 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 2: for La County DA. All right, we have had a 344 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: number of illegal alien stories here because things are really 345 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: coming to a head. I think everybody is really fit 346 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: up around the country, not only with three million illegals 347 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: coming over, but we're paying for it. And now they 348 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,159 Speaker 2: beat up the cops in New York City and the 349 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 2: DA there Alvin Bragg put let seven guys who beat 350 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 2: up two New York City cops go. They had video 351 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: of these guys beating up the cops and they were 352 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: let go no bail. They're still technically charged, but supposedly 353 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,400 Speaker 2: some charch group put them on a bus and they're 354 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: coming to California. But I don't know. Details on this 355 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 2: story have faded away. I don't know where they are. 356 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're ear were still on their way, 357 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 2: or if they've beat up more cops along the way. 358 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 2: But is this The country's out of control? It's falling apart, 359 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 2: and it starts with Biden's dementia and his far left 360 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: doing progressive staff and our guest earlier this hour, he 361 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 2: crystallized it because he went through this three hundred and 362 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 2: seventy page immigration bill that the Senate is trying to 363 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: get the House to accept, and he said, the way 364 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 2: the Biden administration looks at immigration law is the way 365 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 2: people look at Jim Crow law. They think it's the 366 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 2: same thing that it's discrimination, sinful, vile discrimination not to 367 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: let people migrate here illegally. So that's where they're coming from. 368 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 2: So that people who feel that way, you can't argue 369 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 2: with them. They're fanatics. You have to remove them, you 370 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,239 Speaker 2: have to kick them out of office. And that's what 371 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 2: this election year is going to be about. Here's how 372 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 2: bad it is. There is a group of illegal aliens 373 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 2: who made it to New Jersey and they set up 374 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: a smuggling operation to get more illegals over the US 375 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 2: border from Canada. They make six thousand dollars ahead. The 376 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 2: founders of this smuggling gang were briefly detained by immigration 377 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 2: the stories immigration authorities and then cutloads. They were let go. 378 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: Everybody's let go. Why do they bother catching anyone? The 379 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 2: head of this smuggling gang, they're from Guatemala and Colombia. 380 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: They came across the Mexican border, ended up in New Jersey. 381 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 2: And this Jersey gang has helped spark an under the 382 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 2: radar surge in crossings along the Canadian border. It's a 383 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 2: lot easier to get in without inspection. At the Canadian border. 384 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 2: They sneak immigrants in from Quebec and into Vermont. You 385 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: imagine this, illegal aliens are pouring in through Vermont and 386 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 2: June Elmer Bron Galvez, a driver for the smuggling ring, 387 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 2: was stopped by border agents in Franklin, Vermont, transporting four 388 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants. More than ten thousand immigrants were busted trying 389 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: to get into the US from Canada illegally. That's five 390 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 2: times higher than the twenty twenty two figure. Then separately 391 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 2: at the other end of the border, at the other 392 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 2: end of the country on sixty minutes of all places, 393 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: I can't remember sixty minutes doing many border issues. But 394 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 2: they had a story and we're going to play it 395 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: showing large groups of illegal aliens from China sneaking over 396 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 2: the border from Mexico. And this has corresponded Sharon Alphonsei. 397 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: Let's hear it. 398 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 5: We were surprised to see the number of people coming 399 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 5: through from China, nearly seven thousand miles away our cameras, 400 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 5: and at one point this armed border patrol agent standing 401 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 5: twenty five feet away did not deter them. So how 402 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 5: old are you? 403 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 2: I'm trinish. 404 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 5: This man, a college graduate, told us he hoped to 405 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 5: find work in Los Angeles he said his trip from 406 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 5: China took forty days. What countries did you this. 407 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 2: To uh, Kailee, Morocco, a Goador, Columbia, Hanama, Costa Rica, 408 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: Mika Shesh. 409 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 5: Thirty minutes later, a smuggler's suv raced along the border 410 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 5: fence and dropped another group at the same spot, and 411 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 5: thirty minutes after that another group. Over four days, we 412 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 5: witnessed nearly six hundred migrants, adults and children, passed through 413 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 5: this hole and onto US soil unchecked. We saw people 414 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 5: from India, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. Many of the Chinese migrants 415 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 5: who came through will end up asking for political asylum. 416 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 5: Did you travel by yourself or with family or friends? 417 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 2: Hey? No, just me, just you. Yeah. 418 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 5: The Gap is a global destination, littered with travel documents 419 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 5: from around the world. With the help of a translator, 420 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,919 Speaker 5: we learned a little about the Chinese migrants coming through. Teaching. 421 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 5: You're teaching, Oh my goodness. We also met a banker 422 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 5: and small business owners. Some of the migrants made a 423 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 5: grueling journey through Central America with dusty backpacks, but we 424 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 5: noticed middle class migrants from China arriving with rolling bags. 425 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: They told US. 426 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 5: They took flights all the way to Mexico. Some flew 427 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 5: from China to Ecuador because it doesn't require a visa 428 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 5: for Chinese nationals, then took flights to Tijuana, Mexico. The 429 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 5: migrants told us they connected with smugglers or what they 430 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 5: call snakeheads in Tijuana, and they each paid them about 431 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 5: four hundred dollars for the hour long drive that ended 432 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 5: here at the gap. Why did you decide to come 433 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 5: to the United States? 434 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: A little bit Balca? How to find jobs? 435 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 5: What did you do? Did you work in China? 436 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: The chances telling me some so I wanted to talk, 437 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 2: but NAI's hearts work in the tarksheet. 438 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 5: Was this trip expensive? 439 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: Thought you had to take a through? 440 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 5: She said it was, and that she sold her house 441 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 5: to cover the fourteen thousand dollars cost of her trip 442 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 5: to the US. Last year, US Customs and Border Protection 443 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 5: reported thirty seven thousand Chinese citizens apprehended crossing illegally from 444 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 5: Mexico into the US. That's fifty times more than two 445 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 5: years earlier. Many of the migrants told us they made 446 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 5: the journey to escape China's increasingly repressive political climate and 447 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 5: sluggish economy. This thirty seven year old woman said China's 448 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 5: COVID lockdown destroyed her childcare business. She left her two 449 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 5: young children with family at home. Why did you decide 450 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 5: to come to the United States anyway? 451 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 4: Many reasons for worker? 452 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 5: Okay, what what reasons? 453 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 2: Some freedom? 454 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 5: Freedom. We wondered how all of these migrants knew about 455 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 5: this particular entryway into California. The answer was in their hands. Oh, 456 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 5: you learned on TikTok. 457 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 458 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 5: TikTok is a social media platform created in China. The 459 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 5: post we found had step by step instructions for hiring 460 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 5: smugglers and detailed directions to that whole we visited. 461 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 2: So the Chinese government creates and runs TikTok and they 462 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: allow they allow instructions on where to find a smuggler 463 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 2: to get into the United States. Boy, what could go 464 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 2: wrong there? Huh? Is that great? So they're watching TikTok, 465 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 2: they learn how to they mortgage their house or sell 466 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 2: their house and their belongings. Fourteen thousand dollars gets them 467 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 2: a smuggler and entry into the United States in California. Now, 468 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,159 Speaker 2: there's some people who were leaving China because of the 469 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 2: COVID lockdowns, and they come here. California is as bad 470 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 2: for lockdowns as China, probably worse. And this is a 471 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 2: four foot gap at the end of a border fence 472 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 2: sixty miles east of San Diego. They can't put up 473 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 2: a four foot extension. Of course they can't, because this 474 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 2: is the plan. This is what they want to happen. Remember, 475 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 2: border laws are the same as Jim Crow laws, according 476 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 2: to the Biden administration. That's what they believe. So now 477 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 2: smugglers are offering what are these packaged to. You get 478 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 2: a flight to Ecuador, a flight to Tijuana, you get 479 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: somebody to escort you over the border. You pay fourteen 480 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, You come here and you apply for asylum, 481 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 2: and you go to New York City and they're gonna 482 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 2: give you one thousand dollars a month, one thousand dollars 483 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 2: a month debit card. This can't last. This has got 484 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 2: to stop, right, He's got to stop. You need a 485 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 2: new administration. Oh, I'm late. 486 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM 487 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 3: six forty. 488 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: Coming up after three o'clock, one of the district attorney candidates, 489 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: Nathan Hackman, is coming on with us Hakman through a 490 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 2: public campaign. I believe it looks like he had a 491 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 2: lot of influence on Gavin Newsom reversing the Parole Board 492 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 2: and Newsom denied parole for a guy who killed an 493 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 2: LA Sheriff's chaplain and shot a deputy. The Parole Board 494 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: was going to let this character out. His name is 495 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 2: Derek Eugene Pettis. He got thirty years to life first 496 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: degree murder for killing a chaplain. He got this sentence 497 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 2: back in nineteen ninety six. He also shot a LA 498 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 2: County Deputy, Terrence Winger, in the eye, left him for dead, 499 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: but Wenger survived lost the eye. We're gonna have Nathan 500 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 2: Hakman on to talk about his role in getting Newsome 501 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 2: to intervene there, because sometimes it works. We've had some 502 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: campaigns here on the show and it's had an effect, 503 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: especially since Gascone will not send La County Deputy district 504 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: attorneys with the victims' families before the Parole Board. So 505 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 2: anticipation of Nathan Hockman coming on. Just a quick rundown 506 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 2: of a poll done by cal State Long Beach, cal Poly, 507 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: Pomona and USC. It's called the California Elections and Policy 508 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 2: Poll and Gascone's unfavorable rating is now at fifty one percent. 509 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 2: He gets fifteen percent of the vote in this upcoming election, 510 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 2: fifteen percent. Now, because there's ten people running against him, 511 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 2: the vote is split up ten different ways, and so 512 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: Gascone could end up in the final two or but 513 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: the odds of winning in November are pretty tiny. But 514 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: you really want the strongest candidate possible in November. Right now, 515 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,239 Speaker 2: we've got, we've got. The voting is just split up 516 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 2: in too many different directions. I have the list here, 517 00:30:54,680 --> 00:31:03,479 Speaker 2: Just give me a second. Johnat Tommi has eight percent, 518 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: Hawkman has four percent, Shamarinsky, Craig Mitchell, and Maria Ramirez 519 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 2: are two percent. Everybody else is one percent or less. 520 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 2: Two thirds of the electorate is undecided. Now I have 521 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 2: seen polls where Hawkman is ahead. I've seen a poll 522 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 2: where Eric Sadal is ahead. This doesn't seem to be 523 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 2: a pollable race in terms of producing a favorite. And 524 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 2: we'll talk to Nathan Hakman about that. I mean, it 525 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 2: really is all over the place. The trouble is is 526 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 2: two two thirds of the elector they did they don't 527 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 2: know these candidates. Only now am I starting to see 528 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 2: and hear campaign ads and even when you have a debate, 529 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 2: well even the debate was was a streaming debate a 530 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. You know, we've tried to put 531 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 2: on as many candidates as possible, but you have to 532 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 2: hit you know, the twenty minute window when they're guests here, 533 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 2: and if you miss that, then you haven't heard it. Anyway, 534 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 2: we'll talk to Nathan Hoffman about what he thinks the 535 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 2: state of the races and Gascon's chances end, his role 536 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 2: in getting this murderer his parole reversed. That's all ahead 537 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: on The John Cobalt Show. Hey, you've been listening to 538 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: The John Cobalt Show podcast.
