And 11 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: we're also going to have Bill Mallusion on at three thirty. 12 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: So Cruso at three twenty. Bill Mallusion, the Fox News 13 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: reporter at three point thirty, he's been stationed at the border, 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: but a different border, not the Texas Mexico border, but 15 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: the California Mexico border, because Texas has shut down so 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: much of theirs that there's been a surge at the 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: California border over at too, and he was describing that 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: live yesterday. It was quite stunning video and descriptions from Bill. 19 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: So all that's ahead, we have to you have to 20 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: pay attention to this. If you live in the city 21 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: of La There is something on the ballot March fifth 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: called Measure LA in the March fifth primary, it would 23 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: mandate road diets that would choke the whole effing city. 24 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: I cannot emphasize enough that you must vote no on 25 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: Measure HLA. 26 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: No. 27 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: This is the road diets that got that led to 28 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: Mike Bonnard being chased from office. Seven years ago. We 29 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: stopped the road diet in Plia del Rey on a 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: road called Vista del Mar. They had shrunk the traffic 31 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: from two lanes in each direction to one lane in 32 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: each direction. They created two bike lanes that nobody took 33 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: because there aren't that many people that bike on city 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: streets during weekdays. I'd bike often with my wife. We 35 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: go to the bike routes along the beach that's where 36 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: you do it, or in parks, you know designated bike routes. 37 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: There's no need for this, and only weird guys are 38 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: biking in the middle of the day. I almost never 39 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: see women doing it, very rarely, older guys. Kids aren't 40 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: doing it because most parents won't let their kids bike 41 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: on main streets. You get these weirdo guys, the guys 42 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: who really enjoy the tight spandex on their body, and 43 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: they are they're strange, and they formed some organization. They've 44 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: been funded by an extremely wealthy guy back east. They've 45 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: got they got this on the ballot. And here's what 46 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: it would do. Every time the city wants to repave 47 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 1: resurface as little as six hundred and sixty feet of roadway, 48 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: they get to begin the road diet. They could shrink 49 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: a six lane road to four lanes right, three in 50 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: each direction. That's two in each direction. Or a four 51 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: lane road becomes a two lane road instead of two 52 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: in each direction. It's one lane in each direction. And 53 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: the missing road lane for cars becomes a road lane 54 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: for bicycles bicycles. So five weirdos and spandex and it's 55 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: it's and they're going to be putting up curbing and 56 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: they put up bollards all over the place. Bollards are 57 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: those those those poles that they stick into the ground there, 58 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, two feet high, three feet high. They're hard. 59 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: They're made of hard plastic or maybe some kind of cement. 60 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: And it's to cut off traffic so you can't make 61 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: left turns or you can't make right turns or you 62 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: can't park. It's a mess. Santa Monica is rife with 63 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: all this crap. Santa Monica is an absolute nightmare, and 64 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: it increases accidents. In fact, Chris Legras, who is with 65 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: Keep LA Moving, he's been on our show a number 66 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: of times. He says the number of pedestrian deaths and 67 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: accidents in general started increasing as soon as the city 68 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: adopted a mobility plan that called Mobility twenty thirty five. 69 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: They started it in twenty fifteen, and in Los Angeles, 70 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: as soon as they adopted this plan, which included road diets. 71 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: He says, it's like a hockey stick. The accidents and 72 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: the deaths went straight up. And he says this has 73 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: happened in San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Washington, d C. Philadelphia. 74 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: He said last December, San Francisco officials threw up their 75 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 1: hands and declared that the city's complete Streets program is 76 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: a complete failure. Lagrosse says that measure HLA would literally 77 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: be killing people. Now, you may wonder if this doesn't 78 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: save people's lives, but it actually kills people. If it 79 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: doesn't lessen accidents but increase accidents. If It provides a 80 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: bike lane for someone for five guys and spandex to use. 81 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: Why are they doing this. You can easily prove that 82 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: this doesn't work. It's punitive. It causes huge traffic jams. Again, 83 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: I saw it with my own eyes. Apply to del 84 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Rey when they installed When Mike Bond and Eric Garcetti 85 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: installed this road diet, we saw the huge traffic jams. 86 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: We talked to the people stuck in the traffic jams 87 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: during rush hour for the first time ever on their commute. 88 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: They had these traffic jams. We counted the number of 89 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: bike riders in an hour. Every every living even Joe 90 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: Biden knows. There's hardly any adult bike riders who are 91 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: biking on city streets on weekdays. Nobody wants to do that. 92 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: You can't do that in LA. What's the reason. The 93 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: reason is it's part of the agenda to change our 94 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: way of life. So it forces us out of our 95 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: cars by making driving so uncomfortable, so inexpensive, so difficult. 96 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: What are they doing with electric car mandates. They're giving 97 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: you a technology where you're likely to run out of 98 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 1: juice and you have no convenient place to plug in. 99 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: If you're going on a trip outside your neighborhood. What 100 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: are you Where are you gonna go? Where are you 101 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: gonna plug in? They make gasoline expensive five dollars a gallon. 102 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: They're shrinking the roads you're on. This is what they 103 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: want to do. It's to save the climate. Don't you 104 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: know it's to make life safer for pedestrians. No, it's not. 105 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: They're not saving the climate. Me riding a bike is 106 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: not going to help the climate. It's about controlling our life. 107 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: They're angry that America exists. They're angry that we have 108 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: a free market system, we have a capitalist system, that 109 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: we have freedom in general, that we live in single 110 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: family houses, that we drive cars, that we have swimming 111 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: pools and green lawns. It's a communist philosophy. The politicians 112 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles who support this are all the communists. 113 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: Hugo Soda Martinez, a councilman, Unsus Hernandez, a councilwoman, Nythia Rahman. 114 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: It's all these people belong to the Democratic Socialists of America, 115 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: which is a communist political organization. They've renamed in those 116 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: they renamed themselves Democratic Socialists. But it is really if 117 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: you look at their belief system communists. The leader of 118 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: Streets for All is Michael Schneider. He conceived of Measure 119 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: LA the coup de gras for normal people. Though for 120 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: our side is that this week LA's chief administrative Officer, 121 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: Matt Zebo, announced that this is going to cost over 122 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: three billion dollars over the next ten years, and we 123 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: don't have the money. There's no financing mechanism in Measure HLA. 124 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: It's just a mandate to spend three billion dollars without 125 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 1: a source of revenue. And we had Tracy Park on 126 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: earlier and she says, well, we're going to have to 127 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: take the money away from public safety and homelessness and sanitation. 128 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: That's right. So it's going to come out of the 129 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: police budget, the fire budget, the garbage budget, the vagrant budget. Oh, 130 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: speaking of fire, we're going to have somebody from LA 131 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: Fire Department on later this week. They're furious at it 132 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: because this creates a difficult situation for fire trucks and 133 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: ambulances to get to emergencies because it creates so much traffic. 134 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: It cuts off another lane, and they put up all 135 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: these curbing, all this curbing and these ballards so that 136 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,200 Speaker 1: ambulances and the fire trucks can't snake around and perform 137 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: their rescue services. So the fire department here in Los 138 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: Angeles is wildly angrily against us. So you got to 139 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: vote no on Measure h LA. I've seen road diets. 140 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: They do not work. It's a disaster. It's a stupid 141 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: leaping idea, really stupid. All right, we're coming up. We're 142 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: gonna Rick Cruso on in minutes. 143 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 144 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 3: six forty. 145 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: Let's go right to Rick Caruso. We just got a 146 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: little bit of time to talk with him. Rick is 147 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: well known developer, ran for Mere against Karen Bass and 148 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: hit the news this week. Is something right up his alley? 149 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: A real estate story in the last couple of weeks. 150 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: Ocean Wide Plaza a thirty foot tower that was abandoned 151 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 1: by a Chinese developer five years ago, and the graffiti 152 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: taggers found it and defaced it. Twenty seven out of 153 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: the thirty floor floors have colorful graffiti. And how this 154 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: could happen in the city of La downtown near the 155 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: Crypto Arena. Let's talk to Rick. How are you, Rick? 156 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 4: Oh, John, I'm doing great. How are you. 157 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm good. Uh, when you saw this story thirty foot tower, 158 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: most of it covered in graffiti, right in the heart 159 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: of downtown, and this has been building for years, what 160 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 1: went through your mind? 161 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: Here's what's crazy. 162 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 4: That's crazy that Snati is the other times asking the 163 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 4: question is this graffiti? Is this true? Dard, it's a 164 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: time it's and it's wrong. And I listen all of 165 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 4: this bob Ard and with great street art, but now 166 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 4: when it's on private property, and now when it's not 167 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 4: without permission, And I think the sad part about it, John, 168 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 4: that shows a failure of our leaders to allow this 169 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 4: to happen. This building has been sitting there vacant for many, 170 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 4: many years, so you know, this has been predictable. And 171 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 4: I think it's a terrible big billboard letting everybody know 172 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 4: that we've got a failure in this city and we've 173 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 4: got a downtown unfortunately that's really in a state of crisis, 174 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 4: and we've got to change it. Got to change the 175 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 4: trajectory is is. 176 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: It legal to leave a tower abandoned like that without 177 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: any security and allow criminals to do whatever they want. 178 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that must violate some laws that weren't being enforced. 179 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 4: So listen, I don't know if it's illegal to you know, 180 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 4: have a building has failed financially in stopped construction, but 181 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: clearly there is an obligation on part of the developer 182 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 4: of secured the owner. They're clearly the city should have 183 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 4: made sure we're secured so this couldn't have happened. And 184 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 4: that's what we have you know, building inspectors for and 185 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 4: everybody else. And so you know, listen, Uh, they don't 186 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 4: have a lot of you know, great leadership downtown right now. 187 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 4: And we've got a crisis beyond this throughout downtown that 188 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 4: the homeless situation continuing to grow on the streets and 189 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 4: more and more intense to want stuergencies droptop. 190 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: Oh you know what, Rick, your your your your signal 191 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: is just completely deteriorating to nothing but static. 192 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 4: Uh, I know, I'm I'm remost. 193 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: Any better now, Yeah, yes, somewhat, John, Yeah, try again 194 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: here it sounds like. 195 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 4: I was saying that. Now. What I was saying is 196 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 4: that you've you've got you know, avoid of leadership downtown. 197 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: It's not enforcing the laws, and we need to be 198 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 4: doing that, and we should have made this building we're 199 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: secured and now we're talking about the city picking up 200 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 4: a four million dollar job to clean it up. But 201 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 4: I just, you know, I think when we're facing a 202 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: budget crisis in the city of Los Angeles, the estimates 203 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 4: from the c o's office is four hundred million dollars 204 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 4: of a deficit, we shouldn't be spending this kind of 205 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 4: money or police resources to protect it. 206 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like after a year of carrying bass 207 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: that things have improved in Los Angeles. I don't notice 208 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: a fewer homeless people. There seems to be still plenty 209 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: of crime. People still seem fearful. Does it seem that 210 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: way to you, Well, I'll put it this way. 211 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 4: I think we could be doing a better job. And 212 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: I you know, I don't want to bring the mares responds. 213 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 4: I think everybody can come to their own conclusions on that, 214 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 4: but we should be demanding a better job in the city. 215 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 4: We have the most privily taxed city in the country, 216 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 4: and not the most, maybe the second most, but we 217 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 4: pay a lot of taxes, and you know, we've got 218 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 4: a police force of getting smaller, not larger. We do 219 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 4: have crime rising, especially property crimes rising. We have a 220 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 4: homeless situation getting worse. I think all of us just 221 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 4: notice that driving around, we've got more issues with the 222 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: city that sayesn't feel claim it's safe, and we deserve better, 223 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 4: and we should expect better from all of our leadership 224 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 4: at city hall. And hopefully we'll hope people accountable for that. 225 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: All right, Rick, thank you for coming on, and we'll 226 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: talk again soon. Maybe we'll have a little more time 227 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: to get into things other things as well.

But Texas been doing such a 233 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: good job shutting down the border, much much better than 234 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: Biden that a lot of the action is now here 235 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: in California. The cartels are redirecting migrants from all over 236 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: the world to cross the California border. 237 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 3: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM 238 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: six forty. 239 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: Round from one till four after four o'clock John cobelt 240 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: Show on demand on the iHeart app Conway.

Bill Malugin 243 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: is the Fox News reporter been stationed primarily at the 244 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: Texas Mexico border for most of the last three years, 245 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: and yesterday he was moved to California. And we'll find 246 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: out why that is and what he saw yesterday because 247 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: I heard some of his coverage driving in the audio 248 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: coverage and there was a stream of new visitors, new 249 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: migrants coming in over a mountain south of San Diego. 250 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: And let's get Bill on now because we don't have 251 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: a lot of time. Bill. How you doing. 252 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: Hey, John, glad to be with you man, Thanks for 253 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: having me. 254 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: Now, I understand that Texas has much less of a 255 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: flow these days of illegal migrants. 256 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, funny how that works. A couple months ago, the 257 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: state started putting up all sorts of razor wire shipping containers. 258 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 2: They kicked the federal government out of certain areas, wouldn't 259 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: let border patrol in serves the area with highway patrol, 260 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 2: and they essentially sealed the border off in certain parts, 261 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: specifically Eagle Paths, which was seeing three to four thousand 262 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: illegal crossings a day in December, it was the worst 263 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 2: part of the border. Suddenly, with that enforcement, they're lucky 264 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: if they're seeing thirty to forty a day in that 265 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: same area. Illegal crossings in Texas have completely fallen off 266 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: a cliff in recent weeks. The large majority of illegal 267 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 2: crossings more than seventy percent, now taking place in California 268 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 2: and in Arizona, two blue states with two Blue governors 269 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 2: who are both doing absolutely nothing to secure their southern borders, 270 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 2: and the results speak for themselves. You mentioned we had 271 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: a lot of visitors coming in yesterday. That is the 272 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: understatement of the year. We're down here in Hakumba, which 273 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: is about an hour east of San Diego. It's part 274 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 2: of Border Patrol San Diego Sector, and John we are 275 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 2: getting inundated with people from all over the world crossing 276 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 2: illegally here, mostly Chinese. We're getting hundreds of Chinese every 277 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 2: single day. Yesterday I met guys from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. 278 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: They climbed down a mountain in front of us. We've 279 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 2: had guys from Syria, We've had guys from Georgia today. 280 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: They're literally coming in from all over the planet. While 281 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 2: the Biden administration is focusing on quote unquote root causes 282 00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 2: in the Northern Triangle three countries Guatemala, Honduras and El John, 283 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 2: I haven't met a single person from those three countries 284 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 2: down here in the San Diego sector, not one person. 285 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: And that's where Kamala Harris was looking for root causes 286 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: some years ago. I remember that the whole policy was 287 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: aimed at those three countries. That's not where the action 288 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: is these days. 289 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, apparent, Apparently he's still looking for those solutions because 290 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: the idea has been let's throw millions of dollars at 291 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 2: those countries and try to help prop them up so 292 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: people don't want to leave. That didn't work, and it's 293 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 2: also not working for more than one hundred and sixty 294 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: other countries around the world that are now showing up 295 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: at our doorstep. We're getting I mean, just to put 296 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: these numbers in perspective for you, John, since October first, 297 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 2: like the last four and a half months, just in 298 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: San Diego sector, there have been more than twenty thousand 299 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: Chinese nationals apprehended. In all of fiscal year twenty twenty one, 300 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: there were only four hundred and fifty Chinese apprehended, so 301 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 2: we are up over four thousand percent when it comes 302 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: to Chinese nations, and we don't know why. We honestly 303 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 2: do not know why they're showing up in such huge. 304 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: Numbers and they're climbing up over a mountain from the 305 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: Mexican side to the US side. Can you describe what 306 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: you saw or what you're seeing now? Still? 307 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 2: Honestly, it was one of the craziest things I've seen 308 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 2: in the last three years of border coverage. Me and 309 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 2: my producer Lexi, we were sitting in our car in 310 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: Hakumba and in front of US is We're right on 311 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: the US Mexico border, and in front of US is 312 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: this huge mountain, very steep, and we saw some guys 313 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: come like running down and we thought, was there a 314 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 2: hiking trail or you know, what's the deal there? And 315 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: we quickly realized they were illegal immigrants. And I'm thinking, 316 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 2: where are these guys coming from? So I scan up 317 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 2: higher on the mountain and then I had an obleap 318 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: moment when I looked up and in the crevice of 319 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 2: the mountain there's a long ant trail of illegal immigrants 320 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 2: from top to bottom of the mountain, just scaling down. 321 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 2: It they'd climbed over it on the Mexican side, and 322 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: we're walking down it on the US side into a 323 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: camp where there were already a bunch of Chinese illegal 324 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 2: immigrants who then pulled out their iPhones and started recording 325 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 2: them and were stunned at what they were seeing. It 326 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: was one of the most bizarre things I've ever witnessed. 327 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: And then what happens. They end up on flat ground 328 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: here and hookong and do we have border patrol there 329 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: or is this they just take off and disappear. 330 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 2: There were two Border patrol agents there and they kind 331 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: of corralled them all. They brought them into the camp 332 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 2: where the rest of the Chinese were. One woman fell 333 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,199 Speaker 2: down and broke her arm. There was an NGO, a 334 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 2: nonprofit that showed up started handing them all sandwiches, beanies, waters, 335 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 2: that sort of a thing. Then Border patrol kind of 336 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: corraled them and started transporting some of them away. They 337 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: took some of them away on buses. But there are 338 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 2: still some people left in that camp today. But a 339 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 2: very large majority of the people who are processed by 340 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: border patrol are released. Very few are deported. It's actually 341 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: not even possible to deport some of the Chinese because 342 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: the Chinese, we don't have a repatriation agreement with China, 343 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: so they won't even take some of their citizens back 344 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: and they consider them damaged goods once they come to 345 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: the United States anyway. So these Chinese, a lot of 346 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 2: them are here to stay. And when we get the 347 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 2: other day, we had three men from Syria show up. 348 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 2: That's what's called a special interest country because of terrorist concerns. Yeah, 349 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 2: they get additional event we can't deport those guys even 350 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: if the government wanted to. What are they supposed to do? 351 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: Call it Bashar al Assaude and drop them off at 352 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 2: Damascus airport. They can't do that. So a lot of 353 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: these countries that are showing up that are from all 354 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: over the place, they're never going to leave the United States. 355 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: John and and China is not a special interest country. 356 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 2: They are. They are considered a special interest country, not 357 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: because of the terror concerns like you get from like 358 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 2: an Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, that sort of a thing, 359 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 2: but because they're it's kind of similar to Turkey. They're 360 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 2: kind of like adversaries of the United States. It's kind 361 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: of weird because Turkey is in NATO. But yes, China 362 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,120 Speaker 2: is considered a special special interest country. 363 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: And it seems like if you have that many people 364 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: coming from countries that we have bad relations with, you'd 365 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: have government officials, FBI agents, all kinds of homeland security 366 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: agents coming in to see who these people are, because 367 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: there could be quite a few up to no good. 368 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: Well that's what should be happening, But I don't understand 369 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: how they would ever been able to start vetting all 370 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: these people with the sheer numbers that are coming in. 371 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 2: It takes a long time and a lot of agents 372 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 2: to vet one to five people. You only have twenty 373 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 2: thousand from one country coming in in the last few months. 374 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. And John, just think about it. How different 375 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 2: the politics of the California border are versus Texas. And 376 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 2: you don't need me to explain this to you, But 377 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 2: out here in San Diego, there's no razor wire, there's 378 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 2: no National Guard, there's no shipping containers, there's no highway patrol. 379 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 2: Gaven Newsom's doing nothing to stop this. As a matter 380 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 2: of fact, California is a sanctuary state. They go even further. 381 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: They started offering illegal immigrants taxpayer funded healthcare this year. 382 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 2: You know, it's a completely different approach to Texas. So 383 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 2: Texas illegal crossings are plummeting because they're stealing it off. Well, 384 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 2: the door's open here in California and it's a pretty 385 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 2: welcoming place if I'm a migrant. 386 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: So obviously the smuggling cartels are organizing this here coming 387 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: out of Mexico at the border. But people in China 388 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: or Kurgistan, Kazakhstan, they're finding out about this online and 389 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: learning where they have to pay the money and how 390 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: they have to make the travel arrangements to get from 391 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: Kazakhstan all the way to the San Diego area. 392 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 2: It's all over TikTok. All these human smugglers have all 393 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 2: these different guides for different nationalities on TikTok, so specifically 394 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 2: the Chinese where we are here in Hakumba, there's a 395 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 2: step by step guide on TikTok directing them where they 396 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: have to go, where there's a gap in the wall, 397 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: which cartel to talk to, how much they have to say. 398 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 2: And by the way, most of the Chinese down here 399 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 2: pay between twenty thousand and forty thousand US dollars across 400 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 2: the border. The cartels cannsider them quote unquote exotic clients, 401 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 2: and that's why they're happy to move them. They are 402 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: making bank right now by moving all these Chinese nationals 403 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 2: across our southern border. So and they're not walking in 404 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 2: from like South America. John, You know, you often hear 405 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: about the Dairyen gap and all these people walking through jungles. 406 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: That is not what's happening here. These people are coming 407 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 2: in in very nice clothing, not a speck of mud 408 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 2: on their shoes, in brand name clothing. These are not 409 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 2: poor or destitute people. They have paid a lot of 410 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 2: money to get here, and they're flying in sometimes to Tijuana, 411 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 2: Baja California, and they are just walking across the border. 412 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 2: It's that simple, Bill. 413 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: I know you have to go.
