1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: If you missed the. 4 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 2: Show between one and four, you can also heiris on 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,400 Speaker 2: the iHeart app John Cobelt Show on Demand, which is 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 2: the podcast version. The Politico wrote a story today, but 7 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: the headline is anyone in charge of Los Angeles, national 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: political website, usually very sympathetic to left wing governments, is 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: anyone in charge of Los Angeles? And this comes on 10 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 2: the heels of the La Times pointing out that Newsom 11 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: is in major trouble with his climate policies because twenty 12 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 2: percent of the oil refinery capacity is going to disappear 13 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 2: in about a year or less, so slowly. Now some 14 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 2: of the remaining media is wake it up. We'll talk 15 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 2: about that coming up. So Trump took on Washington d 16 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: took over Washington dcat today some ways it's not a state. 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: So he decided the National Guard is going to set 18 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: up shop in DC. He's sent in FBI agents. He 19 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: wants the criminals gone, the homeless gone, and he's put 20 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 2: himself in charge of the Metro Police Department in Washington. Meantime, 21 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: in La Trump said in the National Guard, as you know, 22 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 2: during June for the Ice riots, and it was never 23 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: fully decided whether what he did was legal and. 24 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: Constitutional or not. 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 2: The appeals court, the Ninth Circuit based here in California, 26 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: said well, you can keep the National Guard here for now, 27 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 2: but we need a trial. Well, today the trial is 28 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 2: supposed to start, and we're going to talk now with 29 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,559 Speaker 2: Alex Stone to see if there was any progress made 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: in this. Alex, How are you hey there, John? Yeah, 31 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: So the trial is underway right now, testimony is going on. 32 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: It's in San Francisco, and you know, an issue here, 33 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 2: a lot of politics, and then you have a lot 34 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: of people who say, yeah, California needs to be cleaned up, 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: or La needs to be cleaned up, so send in 36 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: the National Guard, send in the active duty Marines. But 37 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: was it actually legal under the Posse Comatatis Act to 38 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 2: do that and the Constitution? You imagine if Biden had 39 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 2: sent in troops into a red state in to Texas 40 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 2: and took over areas around Dallas or something like that, 41 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: would it have been felt the same way among those 42 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: who were. 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: In support of it. 44 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 2: So it's the legality of all of this, and it's 45 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 2: in a Federal Courtroom in the Bay Area. The first 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: question the power of federalizing the California National Guard. Does 47 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: the president have that power to go around the governor 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 2: during civil unrest and to do that? In two, did 49 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 2: sending the National Guard and active duty Marines into La 50 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: violate that posse Coomatatis Act, which forbids the military from 51 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 2: being used for domestic law enforcement on US soil unless 52 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: an insurrection has been declared, which President Trump did not declare. 53 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: So you remember during everything going on in June that 54 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: the President saying that he had to send them in. 55 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 3: We didn't send in the National Guard quickly. Right now 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: Los Angeles would be burning to the ground. 57 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 2: But in doing so, he federalized troops, taking a very 58 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: rare step taking control of the National Guard away from 59 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: a governor, the governor not wanting it. Not since nineteen 60 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: sixty five with Lyndon Johnson in Alabama when the National 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 2: Guard was sent in to protect the rights of protesters 62 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: has that been done. And as we all know, Governor Newsom, 63 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: Mayor Bass, even Chief McDonald had concerns about them coming 64 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: in and that they weren't consulted and domestic police and 65 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: the military initially weren't on the same page as they 66 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 2: were coming in all of that, the newsom is set 67 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: over and over again, this was a violation of US law. 68 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: Must work under the constraints as a constitutional officer of 69 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 4: the Constitution of the United States of America. 70 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: So John California sued judge. This judge that now is 71 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: holding the truck ruled it appeared on the surface that 72 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: initially and temporarily that the president, that Trump broke the 73 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: law and ordered that the troops be stopped. That was 74 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: two months ago. Now it went to the Ninth Circuit, 75 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 2: and the Ninth Circuit they heard these arguments and where 76 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 2: the attorneys for Trump said that the troops were legal, 77 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 2: and that he has broad powers and can do however 78 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: he sees fit. 79 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,239 Speaker 5: The import recognizes that when a statute is delegating broad 80 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 5: discretion to the. 81 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: President, broad discretion to the president. That was during the 82 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: testimony at the Ninth Circuit. The lawyers from California said, no, 83 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 2: he can't do whatever he wants. He circummitted the governor 84 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 2: who did not receive the order and who certainly did 85 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 2: not issue it. And as you mentioned that, the Ninth 86 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: Circuit pretty much said, look, we don't know in this moment, 87 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 2: initially so quick as everything was going down in June, 88 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: he does have broad powers. 89 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: How broad are they? 90 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 2: And to second guests the president's powers in that moment 91 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: without a trial, they didn't want to do. So today 92 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: is at actual trial. Lawyers this morning began calling up 93 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 2: military commanders, testifying on the role the military played, how 94 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: the troops were trained, what their role was as they 95 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: were going in into the streets of la and then 96 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: as it became not just protecting the federal building downtown 97 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: but going out on traffic stops and raids with ice 98 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 2: and whether that violates the Possecomatatis Act or they then 99 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,679 Speaker 2: law enforcement in the streets of a US city. Federal 100 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: lawyers say, well, the president can deploy troops if federal 101 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 2: law enforcement is overwhelmed, and they say they were in 102 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: that moment. California lawyers are saying, no, that's totally wrong 103 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 2: under possecomatatis and they cannot be used for domestic law enforcement. 104 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: So you know, the arguments will continue. This judge who 105 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: already said the president violated the law, very likely we'll 106 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: say that again. And then yeah, Circuit, I didn't realize 107 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: the trial was going back to the same judge who 108 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: ruled against Trump the first time. Yeah, now the judge 109 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 2: will have heard the arguments and seeing the evidence and whatnot. 110 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,480 Speaker 2: But then it'll probably go back to the Ninth Circuit 111 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: and then probably to the Supreme Court, and it'll be 112 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 2: up to the Supreme Court. But a question of not 113 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 2: just politically what you believe in this moment, but in 114 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: the powers of the president. Can he deploy the military 115 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 2: in this way? And that's going to be up to 116 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 2: the court. Well, a lot of this is a judgment 117 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: call whether you think the situation is serious enough to 118 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: warrant it or not right, and how far the troops 119 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 2: went in doing what civilian police do in the regular 120 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 2: duties that they do every day. There is the issue 121 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,119 Speaker 2: that insurrection was not declared, which then would have wiped 122 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 2: out possecomatatus and then they could have been law enforcement. 123 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 2: There's also the issue that if Governor Knewsom deployed them, 124 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: they could have done law enforcement duties and had arrest 125 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 2: powers and whatnot. But because the president federalized them, that 126 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: then kicks in possecomatadis and they could not do that. So, 127 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 2: I mean, there theoretically was a moment where Newsom could 128 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 2: have deployed them and they could have had access to 129 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: do more out on the streets than those that were 130 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: deployed by the president and could not do it. It 131 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 2: could have gotten very confusing. But it's a question of 132 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 2: just how much power does the president have and did 133 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: Trump go beyond what what the Yeah, well, I mean 134 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: what the design of the law is, right, But I 135 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: mean when you when you have governor doesn't doesn't doesn't 136 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 2: take action, can the president do what he needs to do? 137 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: I mean I saw, you know, we all saw the 138 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: cement blocks crashing through the windows of those patrol cars. 139 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 2: You know, at that point it's like, yeah, I think 140 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: we need backup here. I think we need the National Guard. 141 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: But again it comes down to what the law is. 142 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: It can be thought of in any number of ways 143 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: of that that help was needed or not needed. You know, 144 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 2: there were many who did not think it was needed, 145 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: beyond local police and federal agents who were there. So, 146 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: but at what point is it allowed under the law, 147 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: not just hey it would be nice to have them there, 148 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: or hey you have to wait till it gets really 149 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: bad and then you send to the National Guard. Now 150 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: there's steps that have to be taken like declaring an insurrection, 151 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: which you know he did not do. So it's going 152 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: to come down to the letter of the law of 153 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: how much does the president have the authority to do 154 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 2: what he did? And the courts may come down, especially 155 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: with the Ninth Circuit, they already did come down in 156 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: favor of him. Definitely, the Supreme Court in the current 157 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 2: makeup may very much say that President Trump had every 158 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: ability under his broad powers to do what he did. 159 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: All right, Thank you very much, Alex Stone, You got it. 160 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: Thank John Alex Stone, ABC News.

Is anyone in charge of 289 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 2: Los Angeles as the city grapples with its post fire recovery. Yeah, 290 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: and pre Olympic planning, business and labor leaders had both 291 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 2: given up on working through city Hall. You get this, 292 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: business and labor leaders no longer working with Karen Bass, 293 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: and so they're both going to the ballot box in 294 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: advance of the Olympics because the unions got thirty dollars 295 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: minimum wage policies passed here in Los Angeles. And now 296 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 2: the business community is saying, well, no, we can't do this. 297 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: We're good, We're going to go out of business. And 298 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: I know firsthand talking to some business owners who say 299 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: thirty bucks were gone. We can't The math doesn't add up. 300 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: And the thing is, you have such bizarre fanatics who 301 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 2: are in who are math illiterates. They have been warned 302 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 2: repeatedly that you can't make a thirty dollars an hour 303 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: minimum wage. So then I want to do this before 304 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: the Olympics, especially in the hospitality industry hotels and restaurants. 305 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: Greg Plumber runs a two hundred and fifty employee concessions 306 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 2: company at Lax and he says the business community worked 307 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 2: for nearly two years on this particular issue trying to 308 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 2: educate the city council members. They're as dumb as that 309 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 2: cat sitting on the sitting on the barrier, educating their 310 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 2: council members, the staff, their business, and their legislative liaisons 311 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: on the impacts of what this minimum wage order would do. 312 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 2: A lot of those messages fell on deaf ears. This 313 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: is what's frustrating. They did vote city council and it 314 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 2: passed twelve to three to jack up the minimum wage 315 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,360 Speaker 2: to thirty bucks an hour. Twelve to three at one 316 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 2: the most destructive, most stupid. I mean, it's just basic math, 317 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 2: and you could have you could have a lot of 318 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: businesses in the hotels just refusing to participate in the Olympics. 319 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: I think a group of hotels have already threatened that 320 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 2: the head of the union is something named Anton Farmby. 321 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 2: It's extremely difficult for someone to live here that's making 322 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 2: seventeen eighteen nineteen an hour. They represent airport workers. Yes, 323 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 2: I'm sure it is. But if you if you tax 324 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: restaurants and hotels with thirty dollars an hour minimum wages, 325 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 2: they're simply going to go out of business or they're 326 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: simply going to move. You can't take a minimum wage 327 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: job and expect to earn a living for a family. 328 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: That's impossible. That's absolutely impossible. 329 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: And by the way, if you're upset about the cost 330 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: of affordability, how about this one. Get Governor Newsom to 331 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 2: dismantle all his climate policies against the oil and gas 332 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: refinery companies. Get rid of all the gas taxes, go 333 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: back to go back to using the energy for electricity 334 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 2: that's based on natural gas, nuclear power, stop with solar 335 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 2: and wind power. I looked up the electricity rates in California. 336 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 2: They are double double the national average. Double some states, 337 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 2: it's triple more than I went through all the states, 338 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: and their cost per kill a lot hour so we 339 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: pay double the electricity, We pay almost double the gas 340 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 2: prices compared to some states. And that's a big reason 341 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: why things are unaffordable because that massive cost for energy, 342 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 2: oil and gas leaks into every product, every service business 343 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 2: in the state, and all the environmental policies keep developers 344 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: from building homes. So that's why real estate costs so much. 345 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 2: Having millions of illegal aliens live here, that eats up 346 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: a lot of real estate space, that's a lot of 347 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: homes and apartments that could be lived in by American citizens. 348 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 2: That depresses the supply by billions, and then the developers 349 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 2: can't build. The gas prices are almost double, the electricity 350 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 2: prices are in some cases triple. 351 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: That's who you go after. 352 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 2: You can't jack around the the restaurants and hotels anymore. 353 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: They're tapped out. Is anyone in charge of Los. 354 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: Angeles going to keep this thing on file because they're 355 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: they're afraid. They're afraid. Business owners are afraid. Obviously, even 356 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: the head of the Olympics here in l A. K. C. 357 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: Wasserman is afraid. That's why they called on Trump to 358 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,919 Speaker 2: to weigh in and to try to run things. This 359 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: place is an out of control disaster. There's only the 360 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: very stupid running things. 361 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: You're listening to.

And you 374 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 2: know what the Newsomb administration, a bunch of arrogant bastards did. 375 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 2: They smeared Mische, They tried to smear and destroy his credibility, 376 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 2: and it was. 377 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: All lies and they were wrong. 378 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 2: And now Mache's getting the last laugh because everything that 379 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 2: he said that he told us on the air when 380 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: we were the only media outlet covering it, the only 381 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 2: show has turned out to be true, and Newsom is 382 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: really embarrassed right now because because his plan worked. His 383 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: plan was to destroy the oil and gas industry here 384 00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: in California, regulate him to death with climate change policy, seas, 385 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: tax them to death, tax the gas at the pump 386 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 2: to death, and eventually the oil industry would crumble and 387 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 2: we'd be forced into electric cars. 388 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: We were mandated anyway. 389 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 2: But if we resisted, well, the gas was going to 390 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 2: be you know, twelve to fifteen dollars a gallon or 391 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 2: there was just not going to be any gas available. 392 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 2: And we're gon we're getting closer and closer to that 393 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: in a state that used to have over forty refineries 394 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 2: and even twenty five years ago had over twenty refineries, 395 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 2: maybe down to six in a matter of months, and 396 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: may be producing so little oil that our biggest oil 397 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 2: pipeline may shut down because there's not enough oil to 398 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 2: create pressure. This along with a low carbon fuel standard 399 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 2: from the idiots at the California Air Resources Board, the 400 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 2: pipeline shutting down, Two oil refineries shutting down, one in Benetia, 401 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 2: one in Well. And now finally, everything that Michael mcchey 402 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: said turned out to be true. Everything that we talked 403 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 2: about turned out to be true, and Newsom is panicking. 404 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 2: Last hour, we told you about the La Times story 405 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: on it now. 406 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: The San Jose Mercury. 407 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 2: News and says that the expected closures of two oil 408 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: refineries has newsome a global leader on climate action, acting 409 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 2: uncharacteristically friendly with the fossil fuel industry. Newsom wants to 410 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 2: prevent gasoline shortages and a higher prices at the pump. 411 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: Now. 412 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 2: He wants to extract more oil. He wants to pump 413 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 2: more oil. He wants to invest in infrastructure at the ports. 414 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: He wants to import more refined gasoline. And they are 415 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 2: going to delay plans to strictly regulate refineries even further. 416 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 2: They also had the California Energy Commission was about to 417 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: im implement a law that would limit the price the 418 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 2: profits that oil companies can earn. There was a twenty 419 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 2: twenty three law that Newsom inspired and signed that authorized 420 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 2: the California Energy Commission to set a cap on profits 421 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,159 Speaker 2: and penalize refiners if they exceed the limit. 422 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 1: Newson was a big champion of the law. 423 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: Let me remind you again of the gas price disparity 424 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 2: in this country. I mean, I'm gonna go hold on 425 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: to the tab again. We are at four point fifty 426 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 2: a gallon. Mississippi's at two sixty nine. Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, 427 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: South Carolina in the two seventies. Another one, two, three, four, five, 428 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 2: eight states is in the two eighties, another set of 429 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 2: states in the two nineties. There's about thirty states that 430 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 2: are below three bucks a gallon. But you know what 431 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: Newsom said as recently as October, They're screwing you. They've 432 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 2: been screwing you for years and years and years. There's 433 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 2: no other way to put it. He was blaming the 434 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 2: oil companies for the state's high gas prices, accusing them 435 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: of price gouging. 436 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: They're screwing you. They've been screwing you for years. 437 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: No, no, why would they pick only California, Mississippi's two 438 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 2: sixty nine. I'm gonna keep repeating this till I dropped 439 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 2: dead here. He is the worst. 440 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: He not only. 441 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 2: Instituted these policies which have led to extremely high gas 442 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: prices two bucks more than you'll find in some states, 443 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 2: two bucks more a gallon, extremely extremely restrictive climate change policies, useless, worthless, 444 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 2: climate change policies has done nothing for the climate. Oil 445 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: companies give up and say, fine, we're closing this refinery, 446 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 2: are closing that refinery, will get out of here. 447 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: Oh wall wait wait wait, what a dummy, He's a 448 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: stupid man. Would you do this? 449 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 2: He did not have an electrical grid in place to 450 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 2: replace oil and gas. How dumb is that he did 451 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 2: not have electric charging stations in place? 452 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: How dumb is that. 453 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 2: He drove Elon Musk out of the state when Musk 454 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 2: had the only popular electric car in the marketplace, and 455 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 2: most of do. Some supporters hate Musk and won't drive 456 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: his cars anymore and won't buy his cars anymore. 457 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: Well, now what. 458 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 2: We're gonna have a shortage of oil, a shortage of gas, 459 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 2: no electric charging stations, no electric grid to supply the energy. 460 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 2: You have one of the largest oil reserves in the 461 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:23,960 Speaker 2: country beneath the Bakersfield area. Nobody can drill it. Oil 462 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 2: permits have dropped to almost nothing in this state. He 463 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: won't allow it, So we can't drill for the oil. 464 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 2: We can't refine the oil. There's no replacement. He tried 465 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 2: shutting down natural gas plants and had to reverse that. 466 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 2: He tried shutting down a nuclear reactor had to reverse that. 467 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 2: Imagine this, no gas, no oil, no natural gas, no nuclear, 468 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 2: just wind and solar. But the hell, you can't run 469 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: a car on wind and solar. And he wants to 470 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 2: be president and some people are going to vote for 471 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: him for president. Good lord, And finally, finally, the local 472 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,719 Speaker 2: media is turning on his stupid ass. They're screwing you. 473 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 2: They've been screwing you for years and years and years. Yeah, 474 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 2: they only screw California drivers. Just look at the scoreboard. Okay, 475 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,360 Speaker 2: California four point fifty gallon. 476 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 1: Mississippi two sixty nine. That's the scoreboard. 477 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 3: Yea. 478 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 2: Even the climate fanatics agree. These refineries closing is going 479 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 2: to lead to shortages of gasoline. 480 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 5: Uh. 481 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 2: Newsom said they're looking for a buyer for the Valero plant. 482 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:03,640 Speaker 2: They haven't found one yet. I have never seen such 483 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 2: aggressive destruction by anybody. And his approval rating is still 484 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 2: higher than his disapproval rating. What does the guy have 485 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 2: to do?

You 509 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 2: know you would think by following the news that California 510 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 2: had more arrest than any other state when it came 511 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 2: to rounding up illegal aliens. 512 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: Do you know we are. 513 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 2: Well behind well behind Texas and Florida. Funny you don't 514 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 2: hear about any protests or riots or controversies in Texas 515 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: and Florida. In fact, Texas had over twenty six thousand arrests. 516 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: That's almost a quarter of the entire nation. Florida had 517 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 2: about thirteen thousand. California a relatively small amount considering the 518 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 2: size of the state and the size of the illegal 519 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 2: alien population. In fact, I know for months it seemed 520 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 2: like nothing was going on here. So Texas had twenty 521 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 2: six thousand, Florida thirteen thousand, California eight thousand. Who's doing 522 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 2: all the bitching and complaining California When you factor in population, 523 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 2: California drops to twenty seventh in the nation two hundred 524 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 2: and seventeen arrests per million residents. That's a quarter of 525 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 2: Texas's rate, less than half of Florida, Arkansas, Utah, Arizona, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia, Virginia, Nevada. 526 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: Nobody's complaining those states. There's no riots. You don't have 527 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: crazy mayores screaming at ice officials. You know how nuts 528 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: we look. Trump didn't have to call out the National 529 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 2: Guard or the marines for any of these other states. 530 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: Two of these states had way more in terms of numbers, 531 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 2: and many states had a much higher rate factoring in population. 532 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: And so what you're going to see is a lot. 533 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:43,120 Speaker 2: More ICE action in California, not less, because you get 534 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 2: Newsome and Bass screaming and whining like little babies when 535 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 2: he's only enforcing federal law. And part of the reason 536 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 2: that Texas and Florida have much higher arrest numbers as 537 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 2: they have Republican governors, and those governors and those governments 538 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 2: are cooperating, they work directly with ICE, And as one 539 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: professor at Syracuse says, what you're seeing is performative politics. 540 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: You have Bass in Newsom performing for the progressive interests 541 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 2: in their party. They're not actually having much of an effect. 542 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 2: We still had eighty four hundred arrests anyway. But this 543 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 2: is the way state officials should be reacting the officials 544 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: in other states. In Florida and Texas, the federal government 545 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 2: comes in and says, we have to enforce federal law. 546 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 2: Now are you going to help us? And they say yes, absolutely, 547 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 2: because this is what the citizens voted for, this is 548 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 2: what they want. This is a good policy that benefits Americans, 549 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 2: American taxpayers, and benefits American cities. Only California has made 550 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 2: this big, stupid, embarrassing ruckus and it's all gonna happen anyway. 551 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,759 Speaker 2: They're just showing off to everybody's showing off the progressives. 552 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 2: And there's something called the Criminal Alien Program that requests 553 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:39,240 Speaker 2: local law enforcement identify illegal aliens in prisons in jails. 554 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 2: Could be a federal state prison, it could be a 555 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 2: local jail, but the Criminal Alien Program is very important. See, 556 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 2: ICE can arrest them in prison, in jail. They don't 557 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 2: have to go out on the street. You don't have 558 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 2: to have these public incidents. Only seven percent of ICE 559 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 2: arrests made this year were made at the prisons in jails. 560 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 2: In Texas, it's fifty five percent of the arrests because 561 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 2: the Texas Governor Greg Abbott is a rational person and 562 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 2: if you're going to arrest them anyway, arrest them in jail. 563 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 2: Forty six percent of the arrest in Florida in prisons 564 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 2: in jails. That's the smart way to do this. It's quiet, 565 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 2: it's peaceful. Instead, Newsoman Bass used tax money to fund 566 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 2: protest groups to create riot situations. You imagine this responsible 567 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 2: governors and mayors say, how can we help, Why don't 568 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 2: you come to our jails in prisons get a big 569 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 2: head start on this Newsoman Bass refused to help, and 570 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 2: they they use our money to incite the riot. Look 571 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 2: at Sherla. Look at Sherla and the thirty four million 572 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 2: dollars they have in state funding and their entire organization 573 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 2: is about right now, is about funding resistance, about inciting rioting. 574 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 2: That's the whole purpose of journer right now, and we 575 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 2: pay for it. Seventy five percent of ice arrest in Alabama, 576 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 2: seventy one percent in Indiana prisons, in jails. 577 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:26,759 Speaker 1: We're gonna have that here. 578 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 2: But we have we have idiots performative, the great word, 579 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 2: just play acting so the progressives can get pleasure. All right, 580 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 2: We've got Conway coming up in minutes. We'll be back 581 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 2: tomorrow and we have Michael Krozer live in the CAFI twenty. 582 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: Four our newsroom. 583 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 2: Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. 584 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 2: You can always hear the show live on KFI AM 585 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,480 Speaker 2: six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday, 586 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 2: and of course anytime on too and on the iHeartRadio app,
