You know 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: this takes to do this. I know this may sound 10 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: like an absurd radio program, right, but it takes a 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: certain amount of concentration, right, certain amount of focus, of course, 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: all right, to get from beginning to end, from one 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 1: to four, I've got to be somewhat like plugged in. 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: I am.

There was no intoxication of any 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: and I got a full night's sleep, at a good nap, 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: I ate at regular times. Nothing traumatic happened. Everything was 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: just normal, boring, nothing to report. And then these are 22 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: a series of small things but they all happened in 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: the space of about less than two hours. So I 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: was taking a shower and hard in the excessive private 25 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: information here, Oh god. I was taking a shower and 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: usually at the end I shave because it's more comfortable 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: that way. 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: Uh huh. 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: And I got out of the shower and dried myself 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: off and dried my hair and realized I forgot to shave, 31 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: so I went back into the shower, except I walked 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: back in wearing my underwear and I didn't notice it 33 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: until I started feeling how soggy and soaked it was. 34 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 2: Out of briefs or boxers. 35 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: Uh, briefs. Briefs they hold a lot of water. It 36 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: is really hard to take those off and not create 37 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: a float in the bathroom. 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: And I hope you took them off in. 39 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: The shower, and then what do you do with them? 40 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 3: You should have taken them off in the shower and 41 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 3: you get on, you know, you twisted around so that 42 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 3: they excess water. 43 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, in the shower. They can hold a lot of water, 44 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: A shocking amount of water. I was. 45 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: I guess it depends on how big they are. And 46 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 3: we're not going to get personal mask. 47 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: You brought that up. 48 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: It just you know, my head. 49 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: Uh so, but I'm not on the way here to work. 50 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: I I would start going in the wrong direction.

Todd Bensman is going to be on. 95 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: Todd be Bensman is a journalist and an investigator, and 96 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: he does a lot of work at the border. Uh. 97 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: He does a lot of reports for the Center for 98 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: Immigration Studies and Rights for many publications. And he's discovered 99 00:04:54,839 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden administration has been secretly flying illegal aliens 100 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 1: directly from Latin America into US cities and ninety percent 101 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: of them have been dumped in either Florida or Texas. 102 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: In case you wonder why Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis 103 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: was bussing so many migrants to Northeast and Midwest cities 104 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: while they were getting ninety percent of the people dumped 105 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: by this. I can't believe this is legal, what the 106 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: Biden administration is doing. It's about four hundred thousand people, 107 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: and three hundred and fifty thousand of them went to 108 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: Florida and Texas. You know. To be more specific, Florida 109 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: got the vast majority, three hundred and twenty five thousand. 110 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: The government has claimed they have forty destinations. It looks 111 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: like they don't use most of those destinations. They are 112 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: trying to screw over Abbot and DeSantis. This has got 113 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: to be a setup. Todd Bedensman about this, knowing that 114 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: the Abbot and DeSantis is going to blow their stack, 115 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: which they should, and then have to get the illegal 116 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: aliens out of the States because they can't care for 117 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: that many put them on buses, send them elsewhere, and 118 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: then they take the political hit. Look how mean Abbot 119 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: and Decantis are. Look what they're doing shipping their political pawns. Well, 120 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: all the pawns were dropped in Texas and Florida by Biden, 121 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: and again Florida got the brunt of it. I mean, 122 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: Texas is getting a large share of the ones walking 123 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: over the border until he put up that barrier at 124 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: the Rio Grande River. But they're airlifting them into Florida 125 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: to go after DeSantis. Probably when they started this they 126 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: thought DeSantis might be the Republican nominee early on where 127 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: they thought Trump would sink under the weight of all 128 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: his between the insurrection and all the trials against him, 129 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: and so they were calculating they had to bloody DeSantis 130 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: up and make him look like a heartless zombie. Venezuelans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Colombians. 131 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: Wait till you hear Todd Bensman coming on in an hour, Okay, 132 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: you mark that when we come back. Well, there's one guy, 133 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: one illegal alien who made it into California a Somali terrorist, 134 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: and he was caught by the US government who then 135 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: released him and then figured out he was a Somali 136 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: terrorist even though he was on the watch list. It's 137 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: hard to believe what's running this place. Well, we'll talk 138 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: about that coming up. All right, I got through so far. 139 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: Hey, good job. 140 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 141 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: six forty. 142 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: We have the Moistline on Fridays at about three twenty 143 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: three point fifty twice and you call in and register 144 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: all your disgust dismay at the world eight hundred eight 145 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six. 146 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: Or you could use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. 147 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: It's if you're good enough, you make the cut. The 148 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 1: whole world will hear you on KFI because between KFI 149 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: and the iHeart app, we are heard all over the planet. 150 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: Imagine that people in every country potentially could hear you. Complain. Now, 151 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: we told you about the hundreds of thousands of illegal 152 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: aliens that the Biden administration was flying into Florida and 153 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: Texas in the middle of the night. And this was 154 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: definitely put they were politically targeted, right. We are also 155 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: getting a lot of illegal aliens increasingly over the border 156 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: since Greg Abbott did the smart thing and shut down 157 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: most of his border. Where are they surging now? As 158 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: in California, some of those flights ended up here as well. 159 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 1: From Biden. Some of the illegals that Abbot and Dessantas 160 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: sent out ended up in California. But let's go back 161 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: to someone walking in. As you know, we don't know 162 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: who's coming over the border, and when you have millions 163 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: coming over, there's no way to check them all. We 164 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: have all kinds of databases and lists and paperwork and 165 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 1: bureaucracies and agencies, but one guy can get in, and 166 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: you know how much damage one guy can do, especially 167 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: if he's meeting up with his buddies. Well, in California 168 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: March twenty twenty three, so about a year ago, a 169 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: Somalian has not been identified by name, but he was 170 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: on the watch list as a confirmed member of al Shabab. 171 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: Al Shabab is not a social organization, it's a terrorist organization. 172 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: See he crossed the border here in California. The reason 173 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: he was on the watch list is they knew he 174 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: was involved in the use, manufacture, or transportation of explosives 175 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: or firearms. So he either set off bombs, made bombs, 176 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: or transported the bombs. And he comes into California. He 177 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: gets he's one of the few who get arrested for 178 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: crossing it in the country illegally, and they find that 179 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: he's on the watch list. And what did they do? 180 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: What did they do? They let him go. They actually 181 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: let him go, just like every other criminal in California 182 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: who gets arrested and released with no jail and no bail. 183 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: The federal government did that with this Al Shabab member. 184 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: He ended up in Minnesota, where they have a large 185 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: Somali population, so odds are he was going to see 186 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: some of his terrorist buddies who already got in because 187 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: Somalians don't vacation. When you're a Somali telerist terrorist, you're 188 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: not vacationing in Minnesota. You're here to do damage. This 189 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: is what used to be known as a sleeper cell. 190 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: They are now badgering that ineffective buffoon. The Homeland Security 191 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: Secretary of Alejandro byorcis trying to figure out what happened here. 192 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: They wonder if he took a commercial a commercial flight 193 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: to get to Minnesota. They also wonder if he got 194 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: any government benefits along the way, because there are so 195 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 1: many government programs and there's money funneled to what they 196 00:11:53,480 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 1: call NGOs. NGOs are known as non government operations, non 197 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: government organizations. I should say, and so did this NGO 198 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: using federal money give mister Somali terrorist a free flight 199 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: to Minnesota. We don't know, but he was arrested within 200 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: forty eight hours. See it looks like Ice nailed him 201 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: after authorities made a redetermination, a reed determination. Hey he's 202 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: on the terrorist watch list. Oh no, that's not him. 203 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: Well wait, no, that is him. Yeah, they thought he was. 204 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: He was a mismatch. I don't know why they thought that. 205 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: I guess his identities matched, but they decided he was 206 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: a match, then a mismatch, and then a rematch. He 207 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: did get arrested within forty eight hours. One of the 208 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: House leaders in Washington, Tom Emmer, the majority whips, said 209 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: the Biden illustration open borders agenda allowed a known terrorist 210 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: to roam freely throughout our state, and now they must 211 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 1: answer for their inexcusable negligence. And he's from Minnesota. But 212 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: he roamed into California. Two. The number of these terrorists 213 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: way up in twenty twenty one, sixteen between twenty seventeen 214 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty total fourteen. So he went from fourteen 215 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: and four years to sixteen to ninety eight in twenty 216 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: twenty two, to one hundred and seventy two in twenty 217 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: twenty three, and between October twenty three and February of 218 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: this year already seventy encounters. So we are at a 219 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: record rate in recent times, a record rate of migrants 220 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: on the terror watch list. And then even when they're caught, 221 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: they botch up the job and let them go. So 222 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: they're out there, they're around us. We are just another 223 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 1: day closer to something terrible happening because of this insanely 224 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: stupid open borders policy from dementia Joe in his administration. 225 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: Unprecedented in this country, unlike anything any other country has. 226 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: And look at this while you're sleeping, they're literally are 227 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: terrorists coming over the border here and Homeland security literally 228 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: is he a match? I don't think he's a match? 229 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: Is he match? All right? We come back. There is 230 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: the biggest challenge to the Disney Board and the Disney 231 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: CEO Bob Iger in over twenty years. There are some 232 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: investors who want to overthrow the Disney government. And the 233 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: primary reason some will admit this some won't is that 234 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 1: all the woke cartoon movies that Disney put out in 235 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: recent years, which bombed at the box office and cost 236 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: them billions of dollars, the investors have had it because 237 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: it's cost them a lot of money. So we're going 238 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: to talk about this face off. LA Times had a 239 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: story on it today and even the La Times alluded 240 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: to the woke movies causing damage. 241 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM. 242 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: Six forty ron from one until four four o'clock. If 243 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: you missed anything, you could pick up John Cobelchell on 244 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: demand on the iHeart app as well. It's the podcast 245 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: version and you can hear what you missed. There is 246 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: a billionairning Nelson Peltz that is taking on Disney and 247 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: he wants a seat on the board of directors. In fact, 248 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: his investor group would like three seats on the border 249 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: directors and they're taking on Bob I because he owns 250 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: three and a half billion dollars worth of stock his 251 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: group triand holds three and a half billion of Disney stock, 252 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: and he thinks the returns have not been good because Disney. 253 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: Disney has been putting out too many woke movies and 254 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 1: woke cartoons, and they've been doing, you know, some of 255 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: the cartoon characters were of alternative sexual the alternative sexuality, 256 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: I guess, put it that way. And I know a 257 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: friend of mine whose group of parents went to mothers 258 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: took out their kids to a Disney movie last year, 259 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: and they were mortified by what they saw on screen. 260 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 1: They just didn't want their kids to expose to that 261 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: because they were little. And Disney's had a number of 262 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: very forceful executives who were insisting that this is the 263 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: way it's going to be now, going to see all 264 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: kinds of diversity and all kinds of various sexualities that 265 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: are going to be portrayed in the Disney movies. And 266 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: the public said no. And Disney literally lost billions of 267 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: dollars for that and other reasons. So Nelson Peltz has 268 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 1: been fighting now for six months to get on the 269 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: board and start tossing furniture around. One of the analysts, 270 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: a guy named Brian Mulberry, portfolio manager at Zach's Investment Management, 271 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: said there's definitely a bit of fatigue coming from the 272 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: audience out there. We haven't seen a whole lot of 273 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: new and attractive coming from from Disney, and another company 274 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:49,239 Speaker 1: called Egan Jones said Disney has been has made an 275 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: unnecessary and extremely dangerous entrance into the killing fields of 276 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: the culture wars. People don't want to get lectured when 277 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: they go to the movies. That's what Mulberry said. If 278 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:07,439 Speaker 1: you create content that lectures or scolds consumers about a 279 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: particular point of view, well that hasn't worked. You need 280 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: to be a little bit more in tune with the audience. 281 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 1: And so they you know, they say a prayer, they 282 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: preface their remarks by saying, well, there's a lot of 283 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: value in having diverse opinions and diverse representation. And then 284 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: they say, yeah, but nobody wants to get scolding. And 285 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: that's been the problem. That's been the problem for about 286 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: four years now. Everything from sports you get scolding social 287 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: messages painted on the field. Do you have a look 288 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: at an NFL game or an NBA court, And for 289 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: a while there you had these in your face messages. 290 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: Some of it was on uniforms. You know, late night 291 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: shows were destroyed by constant scolding. I noticed that finally 292 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: there more people watching the award shows. But it's directly 293 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: connected to they have almost completely eliminated woke scolding by 294 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: the hosts and presenters and the award winners because they 295 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: were losing huge amounts of the audience. I mean some 296 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: of those award shows, the audience had dwindled almost nothing. 297 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: It's because people would turn off right away. Host would 298 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: come out to some scolding or the first presenter or 299 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: the first the first person to accept an award, and 300 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: within ten minutes you've been scolded three times and people 301 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: turned it off. I turned it off. Everybody out turned 302 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: it off. That'd be the first thing people would say 303 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 1: the next day, and then you'd open you look at 304 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: a news site, it's like, well, this is because the 305 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: fragmentization of the media. There's so many choices now, and 306 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: that's why award No, it's because of the woke scolding, 307 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: because they stopped doing it over the last two years 308 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: or so and the ratings have gone up. Nobody he 309 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: wants to hear that ever from anyone, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. 310 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to see an athlete, an idiot, celebrity, 311 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: a business person telling me what I'm supposed to like, 312 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to appreciate and embrace. And I'm a 313 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: bad person if I don't. I don't care if they're 314 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: right or wrong. I don't want to hear it. And 315 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 1: what happened is everywhere you went for an escape, a 316 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: late night comedy show, a sporting event, on awards show, 317 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,159 Speaker 1: you name it, and I got poisoned by this. It 318 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: was like a bass hysteria. And so there was no 319 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: safe space. How about that? No safe space or somebody 320 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: who didn't care, didn't want to think about it, or 321 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: disagreed with whatever the messages were. Don't have to agree 322 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 1: with everything, don't have to like everybody. Don't have to 323 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: listen to that all day and night, especially from the 324 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 1: hypocrites and fools that were giving the message off it 325 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: and Eiger finally acknowledged it. There was a conference that 326 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: The New York Times sponsored late last year and said, 327 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: we have to entertain first, it's not about messages, and 328 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: everything became messages and one message, all the woke messages. 329 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: It was all about race and gender and blah. Blah blah, 330 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 1: and then then the cartoon characters and the casting and 331 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: it's like stop it. You know, you knew, you knew 332 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: with certain casting or certain characters. It was about a 333 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: scolding message. It wasn't something that would organically naturally occur 334 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: in a story like that. There was a reason for it, 335 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: and there was somebody with blue hair and nose rings 336 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: who wanted to give you that message. And you are 337 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: going to get it. You're trapped there in your armchair, 338 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: or you take your kids to the movie theater, or 339 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: you're in bed late at night, and here it comes 340 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: like a railroad train, over and over and over again. 341 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: And then people eventually just turned everything off, and Disney 342 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: had to loose billions of dollars. It's like Bud White 343 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: had to lose billions of dollars and they're still losing it. 344 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: And Target had to lose a lot of money. And 345 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: that's you know, and it's not a political boycott. It's 346 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: just people don't want to hear it. They don't want 347 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: to hear certain things, see certain things. They That's what 348 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: it is. A visceral reactions sometimes like no, not in 349 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: the mood, not today, not now, maybe not ever. You 350 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 1: want to entertain me, entertain me. If you're not going 351 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: to do that, I don't have to sit around. I 352 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 1: don't have to buy your product. We're coming up at 353 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: two o'clock. This is great Todd Bensman from the Center 354 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: for Immigration Studies and he writes for many publications this program. 355 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: Turns out the Biden administration was flying I mean, we 356 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: knew they were doing some of this, but probably about 357 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand illegal aliens from Latin America directly directly 358 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: our tax money, our tax money was directly flying illegal 359 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: aliens to this country. These are not people who were oppressed, 360 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,239 Speaker 1: who walked on thousand miles to the border. These are 361 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: people we gave an express jet service too. And ninety 362 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: percent of them, about eighty percent of them were dropped 363 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: off in Florida. About ninety percent total were dropped off 364 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: in Florida and Texas. And that's why Ron DeSantis and 365 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott busted so many illegal migrants out of their states, 366 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: because they were under assault from the US government. The 367 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: US government organized an invasion of Texas and Florida, and 368 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: when and when Abbot DeSantis sent a lot of those 369 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 1: migrants to other states, they were painted as bad guys. 370 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: We'll have Rod Todd Benzman on coming up in minutes. 371 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 372 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 4: six forty. 373 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: The John Cobelt Show Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 374 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: Todd Benzman coming on after two o'clock. You know us 375 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: else we have coming on today. This is really bizarre. 376 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: We're going to talk with Caroline Downey. She wrote a 377 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: piece for the National Review at UCLA. The UCLA Medical 378 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: School had scheduled a lecture focusing on the role that 379 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: whiteness played in driving the opioid crisis. It was going 380 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: to be an event with Professor doctor Helena Hansen and 381 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: the title Beyond Magic Bullets Whiteness as the structural driver 382 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 1: of the Opioid crisis. And you're probably going, well, what 383 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: the hell does that mean and why are they teaching 384 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: that at UCLA Medical School. Well, that's why we're going 385 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,360 Speaker 1: to talk to Caroline Downey and get into the details 386 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: and find out the woke stuff. Now at medical schools 387 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: is out of controller. Not a day goes by where 388 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: I don't read something wacky about what they're teaching the 389 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: next generation of doctors and medical professionals, So that will 390 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: come ahead. Do you remember yesterday we were I was 391 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: telling you about the the nine I think it was, 392 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: what was it? It was seven Americans and two Australians 393 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: left behind on a cruise, yes, in Africa. Yes, And 394 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: the captain of the ship had shouted all aboard, you know, 395 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: and the horn goes off and they were still at 396 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: the dock. But these people were late for the all 397 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: board signal and when they rushed to the dock, captain said, no, 398 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: you people are staying. It was like a punishment. He 399 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: could have let them on board. 400 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: But you know, they do make those announcements when you're 401 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 3: on those cruise ships that they will leave you behind, 402 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 3: so you know, stop shopping five minutes earlier or something 403 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 3: like that. But this really was a different situation. 404 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: Right, well, yes, because one of the women they left 405 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: behind was an eighty year old who'd had a stroke. 406 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: Her name's Julie Lentkough. Now she's back in this country. 407 00:25:53,600 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: She's at a hospital at Stanford. Julie lent Coough. She 408 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: had a stroke and they left her behind, and they 409 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: left her behind without without any of her possessions. There 410 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 1: is a couple who's telling this story named Jay and 411 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: Joe Campbell. They were two of the nine passengers seven 412 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: and the nine were Americans, and they were on a 413 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: forty eight hour chase to try to catch up with 414 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: the boat in the port of Dakhar. They had to 415 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 1: fly over seven countries to catch up with the crews 416 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: and they were left behind in Africa along with the 417 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 1: rest of them. They had originally tried to catch up 418 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:55,160 Speaker 1: with the ship in Gambia, but Norwegian Cruise Lines didn't 419 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: stop there. It was a scheduled stop, but they skipped 420 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: the stop because the weather wasn't good, so they had 421 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: they had run to catch the boat. They get to 422 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: they get to Banjul, Gambia, no good, so they continued 423 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: on to Senegal. Jay Campbell says the coast guard ferried 424 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: the tour group back to the ship originally, which was 425 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: anchored off an island, but the captain ordered them to 426 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: be taken back to shore because they had missed the 427 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: official call and their passports were handed over to local 428 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: port agents and they watched the ship sail away. So 429 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: this was a punishment, but it was. 430 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 2: The tour guide's fault, right, didn't you say it? 431 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, the tour guideide said that tour guide got him 432 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: back late, but the captain took it out on the passengers. 433 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: Which is not okay. 434 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: Now, getting back to the elderly woman, they she was 435 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: taken to a hospital and without any money or any 436 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: of her possessions. They did not notify her emergency contact, 437 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: and the Creuse spokesperson says, well, our protocol is to 438 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: contact the guests directly, as we would not have the 439 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 1: authority to share any medical details with anyone without their 440 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,159 Speaker 1: expressed consent. So they didn't call the medical They didn't 441 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: call the emergency contact to say, hey, grandma's had a 442 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: stroke or your mother's had a stroke, because well, we 443 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: can't pass along medical information. 444 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 3: Well that makes no sense, than why do you even 445 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 3: have an emergency contact. 446 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: The emergency contact is usually used because there's a medical condition, 447 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: so you could call up a relative and say, hey, 448 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: your grandmother's stuck in Africa here she had a stroke. 449 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: Oh no, we can't say that, we can't. So they 450 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: didn't tell anybody. This couple, Jay and Jill Campbell, they 451 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: bought an air tag and had the air tag attacked 452 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: to the ladies so that the family back here in 453 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: America could keep track of her as she was shipped 454 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: to San Francisco. 455 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: Like a piece of luggage. 456 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, because she couldn't get at her processions and she 457 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 1: couldn't get at her money. This couple fronted five thousand 458 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: dollars for the nine people who were left behind because 459 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: everybody else had left their credit cards aboard the ship. 460 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: You can they get that money back? Well, yes, they 461 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: say that now, Norwegian after three days of really bad publicity, 462 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: saying that they're going to reimburse everybody for all the costs. 463 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: I mean specifically the Campbell's duh. One person had a 464 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: hard condition, one person is a paraplegic, a third is pregnant, 465 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: and Linkoff had a stroke. It's a half of the 466 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: eight passage. Why are these people going on a cruise? 467 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: Have you ever gone on a cruise? Oh?
