1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty. You're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: day from one until four o'clock and then the podcast 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: after four o'clock and you can catch up on what 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 1: you missed at one o'clock hour. We explained in detail 6 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 1: through some pieces written by Michael Sellenberger and Christopher Rufo. 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: These are the guys who've been exposing a lot of 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,239 Speaker 1: the nonsense in California government and why they have failed 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: at getting rid of the homeless for many, many years now, 10 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: and they will continue to fail. It's part of the plan. 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: And we explain just how much money these homeless operations 12 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: are making, these nonprofits, how much money that they contribute 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: to Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass's campaign. And regardless of 14 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: what anybody says out loud, there is no intention to 15 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: disrupt the gravy train. Nothing is going to change as 16 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: long as you keep voting for the same type of people, 17 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 1: the Karen Bass Gavin Newsom model. And this is why 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: also you've got mental patients running around even if they 19 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: have homes. This is why you have so much crime happening. 20 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: What got everybody's attention was when the American Idol music 21 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: supervisor rober robin Ka and her husband, they were shot 22 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: and killed in Encino two weeks ago, and there have 23 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: been more burglaries since. You also had a party at 24 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: a home on White Oak Avenue, which the police had 25 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: to break up. They thought there was a shooting there. 26 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: Not sure what became of that. Rob Glueshawan you just 27 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: heard him on the CBS two news story at the 28 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: end of last hour. He's a president of the Encino 29 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: Property Owners Association and he's coming on here. 30 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: Welcome Rob. How are you? 31 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 3: We've had better weeks, John, Oh my god. Hanging in there. 32 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: It's just one punch after another. But let's let's start 33 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: first with this house party. The headline said possible shooting. 34 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: Uh did it turn out to be an actual shooting? 35 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 3: I don't have any information about that. I live right 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 3: around the corner. But while the police say there's no 37 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: connection with that party house and the tragic murders, robin 38 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 3: K was begging city officials to stop this illegal use 39 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 3: for years, and in fact was at the West Valley 40 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: LAPD station the night before she was killed with her husband, 41 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 3: and she was concerned about her Their safety because their 42 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 3: home had been broken into in May. And I believe 43 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: she talked about the party house too. So for more 44 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 3: than four years. Uh, this illegal party house has been 45 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 3: cited by l APD numerous times. 46 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: And when a party house is cited, what does that mean? 47 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: You get? 48 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: You get a paper citation and then everybody goes on 49 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: to the next party. 50 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: Well again that this is our one of our gripes. 51 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 3: What happens in LA is you get a piece of 52 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 3: paper and pay a fine. Well, when you're charging one 53 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: hundred dollars per person and you get five hundred people, 54 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 3: you do the math paying a fine of whether it's 55 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: a couple of hundred dollars or whatever it is, it 56 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 3: is just a cost of doing business. This party house 57 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 3: would have been shut down in Beverly Hills, it would 58 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 3: have been shut down in Burbank or any other city 59 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: in La County. But in La you can break the 60 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 3: law and there really are no consequences. 61 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: LAPD comes over, they hand out the sheet of paper 62 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: and then and then that's it. And is this under 63 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: Is this under the direction of the mayor or the 64 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: city council? Woman Nitthia Rahman, I mean, who who's in 65 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: charge in a situation like this. 66 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: Well, if we're talking about the party house. While we 67 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: strongly work with and support the LAPD, we honestly feel 68 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 3: they failed us. Saturday. They priority. They told us this 69 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: house was priority and that if we saw them setting 70 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: up for a party, even in the morning, let them 71 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 3: know and they would take action to stop it before 72 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: it came out of control. And we did that. One 73 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: o'clock in the afternoon. Neighbors wrote to LAPD's West Valley Division, Oh, 74 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: we're going to send our officers there. By three there 75 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: were over one hundred people room in the streets, causing 76 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: an uproar. But as a sergeant with West Valley made 77 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,559 Speaker 3: a decision that it didn't it didn't warrant being shut down. 78 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: So they warned the owner one hundred people in. 79 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: The streets at one in the morning. Oh, come on, 80 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 2: any any reasonable person would say. 81 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 3: This was in the afternoon, John, one in the afternoon. 82 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: This started in the afternoon. Yeah, so at one in 83 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 3: the afternoon, three thirty in the afternoon. Even though this 84 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: was well underway an a legal party house impacting a neighborhood, 85 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 3: the LAPD made a judgment that they're going to continue 86 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: to allow it. 87 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: We have a problem with that that judgment when. 88 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 3: They made when they shut it down at eight thirty 89 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: at night, there were already over five hundred people. Streets 90 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: were blocked. It was out of control. And again we 91 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: strongly support our officers and work closely with the West 92 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 3: Valley Division. But I told the commanding officer today, we've 93 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 3: got to have a discussion. The neighbors and community leaders 94 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: do not feel that this was adequately responded to. 95 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: What do they tell you? So go ahead. 96 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, no, I mean, but to be fair, you know, 97 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: there are more questions than answers about the response to 98 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: the nine to one one calls when the murder occurred, 99 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 3: and uh so LAPD came out in response to an 100 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 3: intruder going over the wall a Robin in her husband's home. 101 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: But when they got out there, they didn't find any 102 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: evidence on the outside of any problem, or did a helicopter, 103 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 3: so they decided judgment no, we're going to leave. It 104 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: doesn't seem like it's like the home Alone movie when 105 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 3: the kids, oh, well, it looks fine. But the timeline 106 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 3: shows that Robin and her husband literally came home within 107 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: minutes after the police left, and then there was a 108 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 3: nine one one call from the suspect, and the police 109 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 3: came out a second time and again made a judgment, well, 110 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: it doesn't look like anything's wrong. 111 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 2: Wait wait, suspect. Wait, the killer made. 112 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: Made a nine call reporting something. He didn't say, I 113 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 3: just killed two people, but he made a nine to 114 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: one one call that the police identified was coming from 115 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 3: that same house, and they sent, they sent, they sent 116 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: more patrol units for the second time, which apparently when 117 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: they went out was after the murders had occurred. Whether 118 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 3: the suspect was still there or left, nobody will ever know, 119 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 3: but that's the timeline. And so these are questions that 120 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: we need answers to and they need to look at 121 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: that protocol. 122 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: You know. 123 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 2: To me, the answers is they don't care. 124 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: Well, again, it's easy to second guess. 125 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: But this is going on all over the city. This 126 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: is going on in my neighborhood on the West Side. 127 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, but imagine if you have an intruder break into 128 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 3: your home. You call nine one one, or a neighbor 129 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: calls nine one one seeing the intruder go over your 130 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 3: fence and the intruder's holding you at gunpoint. The police 131 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 3: come out and everything looked it's okay to them. They 132 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 3: knocked on the door. Nobody is the intruder going to 133 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 3: come to the door, especially with a helicopter overhead. No, 134 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 3: are you going to go to You can't go to 135 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 3: the door. The intruder's not going to go to the door. 136 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: So if the police leave, now that crime that maybe 137 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: could have been prevented was not. So. I know it 138 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 3: sounds like second guessing, but these are legitimate questions that 139 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: we resident. 140 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: You know what, second guessing is important because it's going 141 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: on all day, every day, all over the city. It's 142 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 1: a bad system. It's a bad system, and and city 143 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: council in the mayor doesn't care. 144 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: And I wouldn't say that, John, I don't think. I. Well, look, 145 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: we're having a Zoom community meeting with the mayor. We 146 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: invited her, she's showing up. We invited council member Ramen, 147 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: she's showing up. We have some very significant philosophical differences 148 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 3: with our council. 149 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 2: Nay, I've been on these Zoom meetings. 150 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: You have to be very pointed and very persistent because 151 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: they have all kinds of canned bs responses to deflect, and. 152 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 3: We've heard them. We've heard them from our councilwomen before 153 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 3: and we do have very specific yes or no questions 154 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: as to action items that the community is asking for. 155 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: And our job is to hold our elected officials accountable. Honestly, 156 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: we don't view this as red or blue. 157 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: No, everybody wants their normal life back. I appreciate you 158 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: coming on and I hope to talk with you again. 159 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: Maybe you could tell us the outcome of the ZOOM 160 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: meeting and what how you felt.

He was the co pilot and he 171 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: was dragged off the plane by at least ten officers. 172 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: Turned out they were federal officers and Channel seven up 173 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: the I guess kgo up in San Francisco ran a story, 174 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: and the whole story was about one of the female 175 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: passengers who was so emotionally distraught and shaken up because 176 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: these Homeland Security officers came aboard the plane and dragged 177 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: the co pilot out. They never explained why he was 178 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: being dragged out and acted like this is another one 179 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: of these. The woman in between her her gasping, quavering voice, 180 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: acted like, well, these obviously were immigration bullies, and they 181 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: must be dragging this guy out on some sort of 182 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: bogus immigration charge. She didn't say that, but it was 183 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 1: clear bringing from her from her manner, that she just 184 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: thought this was terrible, This was wrong. How could this happen? Well, 185 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: they made him disappear. Let's play you a little bit 186 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: of her quotes. 187 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 5: We were all shocked and stunned what was happening. They 188 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 5: barged through and stormed the cockpit, removed the co pilot, 189 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 5: cuffed him, presumably arrested him, you know, brought him back 190 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 5: down the aisle to deplane. I don't know if this 191 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 5: person was disappearing before our eyes, if there had been 192 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 5: a crime committed, or what exactly was happening was scary. 193 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 5: It was traumatic to watch. As soon as my husband 194 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 5: picked me up from Vegas. 195 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: Claim. 196 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 5: I jumped in the car and cried because who knows 197 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 5: what's happening to that poor person? Why that happened? What 198 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 5: did we just see? It's just a huge question mark 199 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 5: and we need to know, like why had this happened? 200 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 2: That she was crying? 201 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: Who knows what happened to that poor person who was 202 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: being picked up. I'll tell you what happened to the 203 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: poor person. His name is Rustum Bagwagger, thirty four, co pilot. 204 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: He was charged with five counts of oral copulation with 205 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: a child under ten years old. You got that, five 206 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: counts oral copulation with a child under ten years old? 207 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: You play that last part of this dope woman's piece again. 208 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 5: It's just a huge question mark and we need to know, 209 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 5: like why this happened. 210 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: She thought this was an illegal alien unfairly dragged away, 211 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: maybe because of a paperwork error. Sarah, Yeah, San Francisco area. 212 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: This is what the progressives think, Like, couldn't you think 213 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: if there's ten officers on board a jetplane that's landing, 214 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: if they're going to drag away the co pilot, there 215 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: must be a really serious reason. Instead, she just assumed 216 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: that this this co pilot was being mistreated by bullying, 217 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: racist Homeland Security agents. 218 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 5: Who knows what's happening to that poor person? 219 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: Why that happened? What did we just see. 220 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 5: It's just a huge question mark, and we need to know, 221 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 5: like why this happened. 222 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: Five counts of orl copulation with a child underre ten 223 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: years old? What happened to this poor person? What happened 224 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: to this poor person? She assumed that the it was 225 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: the co pilot getting abused by the federal government over 226 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: immigration problems. 227 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 2: These guy's from Florida. 228 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: He's been under investigation since April, the California Sheriff's office 229 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: got a report about child sex crimes. 230 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: Here's another one. 231 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: A group of people with badgers, guns and vests and 232 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: marketings were pushing their way through the aisle of the cockpit. God, 233 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: this is the progressive mindset, and they're all falling apart. 234 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: They're all crying, they're all emotional, they're all weeping that 235 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: this man's freedom was unfairly taken away. 236 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 2: Gee, if you could see videos of what he was 237 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 2: doing to the little kids. 238 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 5: I don't know if this person was disappearing before our eyes. 239 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: Homeland Security said it was helping local police execute an 240 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: arrest warrant. There was an investigation with the Contra Costa 241 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: County Sheriff's office, so it wasn't an immigration issue at all. 242 00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: They just needed some help because they were on a plane. Wow, 243 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: that to me encapsulates how completely whacked out progressive people 244 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: are complete. She's in tears, this poor person. It never 245 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: occurred to her that maybe the co pilot might have 246 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: been a very very bad guy. And boy hit the 247 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: jackpot on that one. A sex perc performing sex acts 248 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: on children under the age of ten. Now Channel seven 249 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: and any guts, they go back to this woman and 250 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: see what she thinks today. Somebody gonna tell that reporter 251 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: what was her name, Francis Wang? I think, yeah, Francis Wang. 252 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: It should be a part two on this. Are we 253 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: coming back? Michael Monks, he was monitoring the hearing today 254 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: because you know, there was a judge who there was 255 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: a judge to federal judge in Los Angeles earlier this 256 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: month found that Trump's roving immigration patrols might be unconstitutional. 257 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: They were being conducted without reasonable suspicion. Well, the Ninth 258 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: Circuit Court in San Francisco. Listen to the arguments Michael 259 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: Monks watched them. There's no decision, but he would tell 260 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: us what he saw. 261 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 3: Next. 262 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 263 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: Oh you just joining us. Be ashamed of yourself. But 264 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 1: you can listen to the show. Right after four o'clock 265 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: we posted online on the iHeart app John cobelts Show 266 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 1: on demand and you could pick up whatever you missed. 267 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: All right, Michael Monks is here from KFI News. Today 268 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: was appeal day for the Trump administration Ninth Circuit Court 269 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: of Appeals. A lower court judge had stopped roving immigration 270 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: raids here in California, saying that they were being conducted 271 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: without reasonable suspicion, just rounding up people who looked a 272 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: certain way, and that's wrong. I'm constantal Michael Munks, What 273 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: did you see in the Pallette hearing? 274 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 6: I saw that argument pretty well emphasized by the attorney 275 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 6: representing the ACOU, one of the groups that filed this lawsuit, 276 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 6: a lawsuit that has been joined by several local governments 277 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 6: here in La County and now Orange County as well, 278 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 6: hoping to put a stop to these suspicionless immigration stops 279 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 6: and What they mean by that is there are agents 280 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 6: who are showing up at places like car washes, They're 281 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 6: showing up in the home depot, parking lots. They're coming 282 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 6: to places where, yes, there may be illegal immigrants, but 283 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 6: what was the suspicion, what was the cause for that? 284 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 2: Stop. 285 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 6: If you're just target a car wash and that's not allowed, 286 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 6: that is a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Apparently, that's 287 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 6: the argument here, is that it can't just go up 288 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 6: to somebody who's working at a car wash because they're 289 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,439 Speaker 6: working at a car wash. You can't just go up 290 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 6: to somebody because he's Latino. You can't just go up 291 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 6: to somebody because she's speaking Spanish. You have to have 292 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 6: reasonable suspicion that this person is here illegally beyond those characteristics. 293 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 6: A federal judge here in Los Angeles said, that's exactly 294 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 6: what these federal agents are doing. They're violating the rights 295 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 6: of these illegal immigrants who are here because they're being 296 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 6: approached without the existence of that suspicion. 297 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: So how did the Trump administration lawyers fight this? 298 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 6: So they have gone and said, you are doing irreparable 299 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 6: harm to our ability to enforce federal law. We are 300 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 6: enforcing federal law. We are doing exactly what we are 301 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 6: supposed to be doing, which is arresting and eventually deporting 302 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 6: illegal immigrants. So by I guess tying our hands with 303 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 6: this ruling, we are unable to do that. You have noticed, 304 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 6: I'm sure that there are far fewer operations taking place, 305 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 6: at least publicly visible ones, since this ruling came down 306 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 6: at the federal level. So the Trump administration has gone 307 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 6: to the Court of Appeals, and that hearing lasted under 308 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 6: two hours. It started about one o'clock this afternoon finished 309 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 6: before three o'clock. It was virtual hearing, so I was 310 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 6: able to watch it online. And there were three judges 311 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 6: and one attorney for the for the White House and 312 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 6: one attorney for the Aco. You made this argument, and 313 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 6: it seemed that the judges were not entirely sympathetic to 314 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 6: the argument from the Trump administration. I'm going to play 315 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 6: a clip for you, Okay. This is Judge Sung basically 316 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 6: saying what problems may exist for the Trump administration's argument. 317 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 7: You're actually doing what the district court found you to 318 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 7: be doing then and has enjoined you from doing, then 319 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 7: there should be no harm. There's They're only actually constrained 320 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 7: if you're doing what she found you to be doing 321 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 7: and is telling you to not do, which you were 322 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 7: either it's unclear denying that you're doing it all, or 323 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 7: you're saying it's lawful. So if you know, but if 324 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 7: it seems on the evidentiary issue you have to be 325 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 7: saying we're not doing that, then you'll have the opportunity 326 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 7: to show that. But if you're if you're not doing that, 327 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 7: then you're not actually affecting. 328 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 6: So what you're saying is, look, if you're not just 329 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 6: going up to folks because of where they work, because 330 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 6: of how they look, or because of how they're speaking, 331 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 6: then there really is no problem affecting you. This ruling 332 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 6: does not apply to you. But if you are doing 333 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 6: those things, you are in violation of the law. And 334 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 6: I thought that was an interesting observation by the judge 335 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 6: and maybe showing the cards a bit about where they 336 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 6: may eventually rule or issue some sort of edict. They 337 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 6: have not done that yet, they say it will be 338 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 6: in due course, but this has obviously had ramifications for 339 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 6: immigration enforcement. 340 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 2: In southern California. 341 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 6: We saw the federal agents move up to Sacramento for 342 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 6: a while because they could not do what they wanted 343 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 6: to do here. 344 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: Now, I suppose what they could do, and I think 345 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: they've done with other companies, is look into the files 346 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: of the people hired and then do a background check 347 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: and then determine their immigration status and then arrest them. 348 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: That that would take more time and work. 349 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 6: It does take work, and maybe you could have gone 350 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 6: to law school because that exact argument was brought up 351 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 6: basically today, Like we talked about the car wash. I 352 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 6: can't come to John Cobelt's car wash because I believe 353 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 6: illegal immigrants are working there. But if I know, and 354 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 6: I have evidence that John Coblt's car wash hires illegal 355 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 6: immigrants and has in the past, then that is the 356 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 6: reasonable suspicion. 357 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 1: Even if the Homeland Security ICE officers they were just 358 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: questioning these people and if they got an admission, they'd 359 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: be detained. But if they could prove that they're here, 360 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: I mean, if they could prove they're here illegally, they're 361 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: here legally, they'd be let go. You can't even stop 362 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: them and question them and then make the determination. 363 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 6: I think that's a great question because I have not 364 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 6: read or heard about anybody being released. Because I mean, 365 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 6: if they retroactively enforce this policy. A lot of people 366 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 6: would be released from custody, presumably because of the way 367 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 6: they are salvage. 368 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, they've been shipped. 369 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 6: But this could be a serious problem if that's the 370 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 6: route that this goes. I think what has happened in 371 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 6: some cases that we know of because of previous reporting. 372 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 6: Let's say the immigration agents know for sure there's an 373 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 6: illegal immigrant that they're going to go find, and then 374 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 6: there are four or five other ones who may not 375 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 6: have done anything wrong other than crossing the border. They 376 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 6: get rounded up as well. Unclear how this would apply 377 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 6: to that, because that situation is different. They had reasonable 378 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 6: suspicious suspicion to go after one person and found other 379 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 6: people involved. This primarily stops them from going up to 380 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 6: people at the fruit stand, the car washes, the home depot. 381 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, because Tom Holmans was saying, is that we're going 382 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: after people that we know are here illegally. We got 383 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: to already a warrant out for them, they've already been 384 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: ordered deported, and if we find others in the vicinity, 385 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: then yeah, they're going to. 386 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 2: And we can do that. 387 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 6: And one of the arguments you heard from the ACLU 388 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 6: today was we know the Trump administration. We've heard this 389 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 6: number reported from national press. Three thousand a day. We 390 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 6: want three thousand deportations a day, and there's really I mean, 391 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 6: they're just there's no way that you get to that 392 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 6: number just by people who have other criminal warrants outside 393 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 6: of the initial. 394 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 2: Violation, because it takes a long time to find exactly 395 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 2: so it is. 396 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 6: That would require gathering up the car washes, gathering up 397 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 6: the home depot, parking lots, the fruit stands and all that. 398 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: They probably knew this would be challenged. But what they 399 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: do is they try to make a quick hit, break 400 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: a lot of furniture, and then if they get caught, 401 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, oh well, sorry about that. Yeah, that's 402 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: that's been their status. They're all the entire time. All right, Michael, 403 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: thanks very much, my pleasure, and no decision though not yet. 404 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: The due course is what the judge said, course three 405 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: Democratic appointees here that hurt this particular case. Yes, to 406 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: Clinton appointees and one Biden appointee. Two Clinton appointees. Yeah, 407 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: god's taking us back years. Well, they both have senior status. 408 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 1: So this is the kind of take on some cases. Oh, 409 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: they're drawn from the nursing home. Yeah, exactly, the overflow room. Okay, 410 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: all right, Michael Monks, I find news. 411 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Bells on demand from KFI A 412 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 4: six forty. 413 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: You could follow us at John Cobelt Radio and social 414 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: media at John Cobelt Radio and in a little bit, 415 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: if you missed the show today, well we do have 416 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 1: a podcast to save you John Cobelt Show on Demand 417 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: and you could follow what you missed on the iHeartRadio app. Tomorrow, 418 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: we are going to cover an ordinance that the La 419 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: County Board of Supervisors. These adults, Janis Han and hildesalise 420 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: are the dumbest members. I mean, they're really really blockheads. 421 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: And their idea is to draft an ordinance that bans 422 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: law enforcement officers from wearing a mask while on duty. 423 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: This is aimed at ice agents over the immigration raids. 424 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: They're obsessed with agents wearing masks. They're not going to 425 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: win because the federal government gets to decide how their 426 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: law enforcement agents are dressed. The state and the city 427 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: have no jurisdiction. It's total nonsense. 428 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 2: And the. 429 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: Rioters and the agitators that Han and Salisee support, they 430 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: want to see their faces and want to see their 431 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: badges so that they could harass those officers and their families. 432 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: They want to terrorize and threaten them. That's the truth. 433 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,640 Speaker 1: That's what they're looking for. And han want to enable 434 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: the terrorist crowd so that they could terrorize ICE agents 435 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: and their families. Genisn Elvisalise. That's what they're fighting for. 436 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: This amused me. This is in the National Review. One 437 00:26:55,960 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 1: of their writers, Dominic Pino, found peace in the Washington Post. 438 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: The headline they're rich, They're anti Trump, and they don't 439 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: want their big tax cut. Okay, these these are progressives 440 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,360 Speaker 1: who hate Trump so much they don't want the tax cut. 441 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: These these they're wealthier people. You know, the top tax 442 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: rate was going to hit thirty nine point six percent 443 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: after this year, and this new big, beautiful bill reduces 444 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: it to thirty seven percent, So two point six percentage 445 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 1: points when you're making six and seven figures, that adds 446 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: up to a lot of money. Well, they profiled one 447 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: rich Democrat named Kimberly Hoover, and the accountant told her 448 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: that her family is going to save several millions of 449 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: dollars over the next few years because of Trump's new 450 00:27:54,880 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: tax law. Well, Hoover just can't have that, mind you. 451 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: She and her family earns the money legally and found 452 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: out she's gonna save millions of dollars with this tax cut. 453 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,719 Speaker 2: She's furious. 454 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: According to the writer, while many Americans might rejoice at 455 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: that kind of windfall, Hoover worked hard to stop it 456 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: from becoming a reality. She was arguing to lawmakers that 457 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: she has more money than she needs. She was actually 458 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: lobbying lawmakers. Here's a quote. At some point, it starts 459 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 1: to feel wrong, it starts to feel excessive, it starts 460 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: to feel somehow inappropriate, and at some point it just 461 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: doesn't feel good. Remember it's a law that allows her 462 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: to keep her own money imbalanced. It's really not good 463 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: for anyone, even if you're on the positive end of 464 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: the imbolence, because it's unsustainable. Kimberly Hoover, by the way, 465 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: they interviewed her while she was on a break from me, 466 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: and I'm not making this up. A lesbian literature conference 467 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 1: that she sponsors in Allbany, New York. 468 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: That sounds like a good time. 469 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: So what to do with the with all this extra 470 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: money that Kimberlee Hoover has, I mean, I mean she 471 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: earned it, and now the government won't take it anymore, 472 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: at least not take as much. 473 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: What is she going to do with it? 474 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: Well, The National Review points out that the Treasury since 475 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: eighteen forty three has had a special account that accepts gifts, 476 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: and you could send them a gift and it's for 477 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: general use by the federal government and they can use 478 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: it in their general budget. So if you're upset about 479 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: paying thirty seven percent tax instead of thirty nine and 480 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: a half, well you could pay that two and a 481 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: half percent tax. By the way, our tax rate top 482 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: tax rate is pretty low compared to some countries. Sweden 483 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: has a top rate of fifth efty six percent, France 484 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: fifty percent. So what she can do is, when the 485 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: accountant calculates the extra two and a half percent tax 486 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: that she now saves, she could write a check.
