1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,080 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 Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: We're on the radio from one until four, and we're 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 2: on the app as a podcast, John Cobelt Show on 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 2: Demand that's posted shortly after four o'clock. And we're on 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 2: Instagram Live right now too, and we're going to talk 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 2: with the Assemblyman republic the Assembly Republican leader, James Gallagher. 8 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: This is a story that we have been following for 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 2: a week or so and it's been zigging and zagging. 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: I'll give you a capsule because it's hard to determine 11 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 2: exactly what's been going on. But they passed a minimum 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: wage fast food bill, jacked it up to twenty dollars 13 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: an hour for people who shake fried baskets and flip burgers. 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: But it looks as if Panera's got an exemption they 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: didn't have to pay twenty dollars an hour. The owner 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: of a lot of Panera franchises is Greg Flynn. Greg 17 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 2: Flynn donated one hundred and sixty four thousand dollars to 18 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom over the years various campaigns, and also was 19 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: involved in another business deal with Newsomb. 20 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Some years ago. 21 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: So now, the exemption was about bread, that you didn't 22 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: have to pay minimum wage to your employees as a 23 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: fast food restaurant if you baked your own bread and 24 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: sold it, sold it by the loaf, really, and so 25 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: it was called the bakery exemption. So is this just 26 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: a bribe that a disguised bribe that led to this 27 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: exemption in the legislation. Let's talk with James Gallagher, the 28 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: Assembly Republican leader, because Newsom has been acted really swirling 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: about this for a couple of weeks. 30 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: Now, James, how are you. 31 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: Good? 32 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 4: Glad to be with you again? Joe. 33 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 2: I read the excerpt of the bill. It does look 34 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: like there is a specific exemption that would affect primarily Panera. 35 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: Is that the way you read it? 36 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 4: Yes, you know, and like the whole thing stinks. I mean, 37 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 4: you know, we had this exemption. You know, you know, 38 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 4: Flynn was part of many restauranteers who were saying, this 39 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 4: is just you know, this is a terrible policy. It's 40 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 4: going to lead to you know, less jobs, automation. It's 41 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 4: going to be terrible for you know, business owners who 42 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 4: are trying to operate these franchisees. Uh and you know, 43 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, you know, after all 44 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: the muddle's over, he's got an exemption, and he happens 45 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 4: to be a big downer to Gavin Newsom. Now everybody 46 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: is saying, oh, I don't know where it came from. 47 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 4: You know, I don't know how that got in the bill. 48 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 4: The author of the bill said, I don't know where 49 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 4: this came from. You know, you know, Gavin said, oh, 50 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 4: there was all these negotiations. We don't you know, nobody knows, 51 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 4: well where would this have come from? Yeah? I mean 52 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 4: and with without anybody like actually coming forward and without 53 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 4: any transparency. Uh, you know, you got to assume somebody 54 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 4: got what they wanted. 55 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: News told two separate stories. At first, he said this 56 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: was part of the sausage making of the legislation, that 57 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 2: you know, people get together and they cut deals. Give 58 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: me this provision, I'll vote for that provision. That sort 59 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 2: of thing which goes on all day and night. Then 60 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 2: he started outright denying that there was any such Panera 61 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: exemption at all, which was easily disproved. 62 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: Am I am I getting this right. 63 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 4: Exactly? You know. Yeah, when he was first asked about it, 64 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 4: when the bill just passed, he said oh it's sausage making. 65 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: You know. Now when people have called out that hey, 66 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 4: this was specifically for someone that you know, you know 67 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: well and as a donor to you and is exempted, 68 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 4: and then now he's trying to say, oh, no, oh, 69 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 4: that's actually it doesn't exempt them. I was only talking 70 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 4: about raw doe, you know what I mean. It's ridiculous. 71 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: I bet you Panera thinks that they're exempted, although they did. 72 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 4: You know, now all of a sudden they are coming 73 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 4: out and saying, oh, we are going to go to 74 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: the twenty dollars an hour. Of course, the question is, well, 75 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 4: are you going to comply with the rest of the bill, 76 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 4: because it wasn't just about wage increases, it's about also 77 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 4: complying with all these new regulations coming out of the 78 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 4: new Fast Food Council. 79 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: Well, how does this happen? 80 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 2: Is this just phone calls, emails, somebody on the governor's staff, emails, 81 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: someone on the legislative staff that's putting the bill together. 82 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 4: Well that's the we're all trying to find out, is hey, 83 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 4: what were the communications? Who came up with this, Who 84 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 4: talked to who? Nobody has disclosed any of those things, right, 85 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: and in fact, what we found out is that stakeholders 86 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 4: who are negotiating on this bill sign NDA's during the discussion. 87 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: So they're saying they can't disclose the information of discuss 88 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 4: with public policies. 89 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Who gets who has to sign an NDA. 90 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 4: What has been reported is that certain stakeholders that were 91 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 4: negotiating on the bill signed NDAs while they were doing negotiations, 92 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 4: and they're saying we can't disclose anything signed elected officials, 93 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 4: not elected officials. But there's different groups or industry folks 94 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 4: that were negotiating. 95 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: On the bill. 96 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 4: The other problem here, the other problem here, John, is 97 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 4: why are these happening in the governor's office. The legislature 98 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 4: is the one that passes laws, right, these should be 99 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 4: these discussions. Then these debates should be happening in the 100 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 4: full view of the public in committee hearings, not in 101 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 4: the government. 102 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: Well that there should be no mystery problem.

When we come back, Boeing has got 185 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 2: another problem in another plane, and they don't seem to 186 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: be cooperating with the National Transportation Safety Board on the 187 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: door plug story. They're they're not giving information over very quickly. 188 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 189 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 5: six forty. 190 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 2: It has been now, wow, it's been two months since 191 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: the door plug blew out of that Boeing seven thirty 192 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 2: seven Max plane.

You're not going to believe this, but after 195 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: two months, the National Transportation Safety Board still does not 196 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: know who was working on the Boeing assembly line to 197 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: put the door plug back in the plane. This particular 198 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: production group is supposedly made up of twenty five employees 199 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 2: and a manager. 200 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: They didn't get the name of the manager. 201 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: They didn't get the name of the other twenty five employees, 202 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 2: and Boeing has just not been responding and listen to this. 203 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 2: Boeing has not turned over any important records to investigators 204 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: about the door plug blobout, and their response is that 205 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: maybe there aren't any records. 206 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 3: What. 207 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: Here's the word from the NTSB chairwoman Jennifer Hamdy Hamedy. 208 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,840 Speaker 2: She said this yesterday in testimony for the Senate. Boeing 209 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 2: has not provided us with documents and information we have 210 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 2: requested numerous times over the past two months, specifically with 211 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 2: respect to the opening, closing, and removal of the door. 212 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 2: Boeing says, listen to this carefully with respected documentation. If 213 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 2: the door plug removal was undocumented, there would be no 214 00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: documentation to share. We have an undocumented door plug. I 215 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 2: guess that's like an undocumented. 216 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: Migrant. 217 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 2: I cannot believe that everything on a on a on 218 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: an air on a jet assembly line isn't document That's ridiculous. 219 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 6: Are that can't be somebody's hiding something. 220 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody's hiding something. And they withheld all the names 221 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: twenty six people. 222 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 6: No, you can't do that. 223 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: Uh. Boeing says it's worked proactively and transparently. 224 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 6: Well, that's not transparent. 225 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: No. 226 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: Hamedy told that the Senate, the senators that they want 227 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,679 Speaker 2: to identify the actual Boeing employees. There's one team, one 228 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: team that deals with the doors, Hammondy said. She said, 229 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: this is absurd and really disappointing that the NTSB still 230 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: doesn't have the names. 231 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: Boeing. After the testimony, he said, all right, we'll give 232 00:12:59,600 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 1: you the name. 233 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 6: Okay. So that was yesterday, So I wonder we're going 234 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 6: to get the names today. 235 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. They claim they have now provided the 236 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: full list. 237 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 6: It took all this time, two months. 238 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 2: You imagine, and they said the CEO was all over 239 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: the place saying that we are going to we were gonna. 240 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: I hate the word transparent. 241 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: I mean that's another word for like tell the truth, 242 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 2: tell what's really going on. Here's another Boeing problem. This 243 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 2: was a flight from Nassau on the Bahamas to Newark 244 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: in New Jersey February sixth, and when you land the plane, 245 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 2: you have to manipulate the rudders and this keeps the 246 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 2: back of the plane from swinging side to side, and 247 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: the rudder pedals got stuck. It's right before the plane 248 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: slows down to taxi speed. But the pilot is literally 249 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 2: pressing on the break on the rudder with his foot 250 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 2: and you try to keep the plane on the center 251 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: line of the runway. And if the rudders aren't working, 252 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 2: then you start swaying off the center line, and who 253 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: knows where it's going to go. And so the captain 254 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: had to lean on the nosewheel they call it a 255 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: steering tiller to keep the plane near the center line 256 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 2: of the runway while they were slowing down because the 257 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 2: pedals that control the swaying in the back of the 258 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 2: plane were all stuck. 259 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 6: They don't know why, and that wasn't checked before. 260 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 2: I don't know one more story, and I've looked at 261 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: several of these and I can't find because this just happened. 262 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 2: This news broke today and oh the tire, well, this 263 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: is the fire. 264 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: You have a tire. 265 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 7: Oh, but this is just an American Airlines I mean 266 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 7: a United Airlines plane lost part of a tire, but 267 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 7: it landed safely. It had to make an emergency landing 268 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 7: at Lax So everything's okay. 269 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: Ah. 270 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: No, this is a United Airlines flight Houston to Florida 271 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: and the engine caught fire shortly after takeoff and they 272 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 2: had to return back to Houston. 273 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: And there's photos of the fire. People stuck their iPhones 274 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: up to the window. Everybody asked the take Yeah, there 275 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: you go.

And so it's a 341 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 8: good problem to have when that's what you're running into. 342 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: So how are the migrants expected to pay their rents? 343 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: Well? Work? 344 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 3: The city says it's been able to help migrants find 345 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 3: work legally. 346 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 8: Thirteen hundred people right now, you know, over the last 347 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 8: just two weeks or so that we've been able to 348 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 8: help get their work permits. I mean, that's a huge step. 349 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: I talked to some folks who are in the migrant 350 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: advocate community and even they say it's a tricky prospect 351 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 3: to rent some of their properties to migrants. They say, 352 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 3: the effort to help is there, but there was admittedly 353 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 3: a fear even among them that the migrants work may 354 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: not be stable and therefore they may not have the 355 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 3: ability to pay their rent over a longer period of time. 356 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 2: And then you're stuck with them, and then what do 357 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: you do? I mean, most left wing cities have very 358 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 2: difficult laws regarding eviction. You know, that's one of those 359 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: another progressive genius things that if somebody rents out an 360 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: apartment or a room in your house, if they can't 361 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 2: pay the bill, too bad on you. That's what you 362 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: get for owning property and renting it out. So you know, 363 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: these guys are probably a lot of them were day laborers, 364 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 2: So there's gonna come out. And what if they coming 365 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: home and they start getting drunk and getting crazy, and wow, 366 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 2: they keep trying this, They keep trying to get locals 367 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 2: to take them in. But they had thirty eight thousand, 368 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: almost thirty nine, thirty nine thousand illegal aliens that cost 369 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 2: Denver fifty eight million dollars. He had told reporters earlier 370 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 2: this year the city was very close to a breaking point. 371 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,719 Speaker 2: They had cut five million dollars from public services to 372 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: Denver residents. The Denver residents got screwed out of five 373 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: million dollars of public services that they paid for because 374 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: now there were thirty eight thousand plus guests, most of 375 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:06,479 Speaker 2: them from Venezuela. The Denver Health system has been at 376 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 2: a breaking point, eight thousand legal aliens recording twenty thousand 377 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 2: visits to Denver Health last year. Imagine you need to 378 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: your kid breaks his arm, has to go to the 379 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 2: emergency room, and you got eight thousand illegal aliens in 380 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 2: front of you. They have come in for emergency room treatment, childbirth, 381 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 2: dental care. Hey, those are new citizens right there. Dental care, 382 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 2: primary care, the whole of the whole run. You imagine this, 383 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 2: and the dopey mayor Mike Johnston who's now begging the 384 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: locals to take the migrants into their homes, takes people's 385 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 2: tax money, spends it on illegal aliens, invites them in 386 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: by declaring a sanctuary doesn't have a home for them. 387 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 2: There's no city shelters for these people. So now he's 388 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: going order to arn you want we take some of 389 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: the migrants in extra room, garage, got a cot anything, 390 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 2: We'll go to work at least for a day. That's 391 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: just that is so nuts, and it doesn't bother these 392 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: people how nuts it is. You're just supposed to suck 393 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 2: it up. As a taxpayer. You're just supposed to live 394 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 2: with it because they say so, they're progressive, they're better. 395 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: We come back could be entertaining tonight, don't know. The 396 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 2: State of the Unions are usually dreadful bores, but hey, 397 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 2: it's Joe Biden. He could pass out and fall over. 398 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: We'll talk about it when we come back. 399 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 400 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 5: six forty. 401 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 2: Yes, we are going to carry Joe Biden's State of 402 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: the Union address. I mean, there's absolutely nothing of substance 403 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 2: that you should expect here unless he's going to announce 404 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 2: he's closing the border. Oh by the way, here's a tip, 405 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 2: so you have a BS detector if you bother to 406 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 2: watch your listen to this thing he signed. This is 407 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: fact sixty four sixty four executive orders that opened up 408 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 2: the border. 409 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: So if he starts. 410 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 2: Carrying on about how Congress the Republicans have blocked his 411 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 2: border reform ideas, no sixty four executive orders, he could 412 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 2: reverse all sixty four and there'd be a drastic difference 413 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: at the border. That is true because there was far 414 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 2: less of a problem before he took over, because he 415 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,199 Speaker 2: repealed a lot of Trump's executive orders and then added 416 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 2: more of his own, and everything was about opening up 417 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: the border. So the entertainment, though I doubt he's going 418 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 2: to close the border tonight. And there's really nothing else 419 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 2: that is interesting or that I believe anyway, a lot 420 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 2: of cheap slogans, and they're going to have I'm sure 421 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: a lot of heart tugging guests. But it's just to 422 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 2: see if he had a brain freeze, or he starts mumbling, 423 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: or he whets himself, or he gets lost on the 424 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: way in. How are they going to keep him from 425 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 2: getting lost on the way in? And then they've got 426 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 2: to squirt him off the podium. And what if he 427 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 2: falls over? What if he falls asleep? And I wonder 428 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: I gotta talk to a doctor who tell me the truth. 429 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 2: Is there something if you have an elderly person with dementia, 430 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: is there something you can inject in them to jack 431 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 2: them up? Yeah, some kind of a like, I don't know, adrenaline, 432 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 2: some kind of methamphetamine, adderall right, something that really gets 433 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: their brain. 434 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: Racing a bit. 435 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: I mean, outside of that would be the point of 436 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 2: listening to this probably gonna go on for an hour. 437 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 2: He does tend to show a lot of energy when 438 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 2: he reads a teleprompter. It's when he's left by himself 439 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: to just talk off the top of his head. Just 440 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 2: a few days ago, he had a fifteen second brain 441 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 2: freeze in front of reporters. 442 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: Fifteen seconds. I timed it conways here you're talking about 443 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: Bill Handle. 444 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, he never gets old, never gets old. I could 445 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: hear that every day, and I do. 446 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: Thank you. 447 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 9: All Right, We've got Marongo at four oh three, advanced 448 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 9: here at four point fifteen.
