1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: If I am six forty, you're listening to the John 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:09,239 Speaker 1: and Ken Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. We're 3 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: on the radio from one until four, and then after 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: four o'clock on the iHeart app it's John and kennon 5 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: demand the podcast, so you can listen to what you missed. 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 2: And well, we got a lot to get to today, 7 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 2: including the border. There's a lot going on. Suddenly the 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 2: Biden administration wants to build that wall. It seems confusing. 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: It doesn't come out of nowhere, because the number of 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 2: migrants crushing into the United States is again reaching all 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: time highs. You're talking to Todd Bensman next hour, who's 12 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: been posted up on this story for one of the 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 2: immigration group Center for Immigration Studies. We'll get to him. 14 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: We'll talk about Biden in the wall and waving a 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: whole bunch of environmental rules. But we begin the show, 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: of course, with one of the biggest stories in southern 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: California today, and that's funeral services for the La County 18 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: Sheriff's deputy who was murdered back on September sixteenth as 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: he was about to go out on patrol up in Palmdale. 20 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: Ryan Clink and Broomer covering this for CAFI and it 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 2: is Steve Gregory. Steve, how are you well, gentlemen, how 22 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: are you today? All right? Good? Well? What was it like? 23 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,240 Speaker 1: This was a very somber event. This is one of 24 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: those assignments that I it just pains me to cover 25 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: this one. In children's funerals are the two that I 26 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: it just really gets to you because so many people 27 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: show up for this, and there were thousands of law 28 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: enforcement people from around California and around the country. I 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: ran into people from Minnesota, Montana, Illinois, and they were 30 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: all here for one purpose, and that was to pay 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 1: their final respects to Ryan clinkin Bruomer. The funeral began 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: this morning at the Cathedral in downtown Los Angeles. The 33 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: casket with Clink and Brimer's body arrived just before nine 34 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: point thirty, and then it was this long, white, beautiful hearse, 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: brand new hearse. 36 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: And then the casket comes out and the casket's. 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: Already draped with this large American flag, and then the 38 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: pallbearers that were close friends of Clincol Brommers gathered around it, 39 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: took it out of the hearse, and then the honorary pallbearers, 40 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: which were pretty much all the members of the Palmdale 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: Sheriff Station, created this gauntlet, and then they took this 42 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: casket through this gauntlet of people of deputies, men and 43 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: women who were saluting, and then into the sanctuary of 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: the church and finally placing it at the head of 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: the church for the services which were run by Jose Gomez. 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: The bishop of the archdiocese here. 47 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 1: So it was it was a long event, and it 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: was very sad doing the traditional Catholic ceremony or the services. 49 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: And then at the end was comments by some of 50 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 1: his closest friends, those that he met in the academy, 51 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: and then it closed out with Michael Clinkin Brumer, which 52 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: is Ryan's father, and Britney Lindsay, the fiance who had 53 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: only been engaged to him for four days, and then 54 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: I forgot that yeah, and the father recounted I just 55 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: can't imagine. I mean, he's sitting there recounting stories of 56 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: his childhood and stories about taking him to the movies 57 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: and you know, taking him to a scary movie and 58 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: how that night he was so scared he had to 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: come into the bedroom. But they were trying to keep 60 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: the secret from the mom, so the mom didn't want 61 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: to get upset. I mean, just this very personal, very 62 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: very intimate story about him growing up as a child. 63 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: And then this was something that was interesting between Ryan Clinkinbruomer, 64 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: his father, his grandfather and great grandfather and brother. There's 65 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: one hundred eighty seven years of service in law enforcement. 66 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what back generations. Yeah, wow, that's a lot. 67 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: One hundred and eighty seven years in total service to 68 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: the public. That family represents a h eighty seven years 69 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: and a lot of who's who were there in the 70 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: front row you had. I saw Janis Hahn, Catherine Barger, 71 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: both supervisors. I saw the fire chief of the La 72 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: County Fire Department, Tony Maroney. I saw Todd Spitzer, Orange 73 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: County DA. But most notably absent was George Gascone. Oh really, 74 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: and but two other surprise guests and Alex Vianueva and 75 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 1: Lee Baca Lee body Baka, I both heard. 76 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 2: Honestly, I thought he was in prison. I forgot. 77 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: But he's also from the last I remember the report 78 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: that we did was that he was diagnosed with dementia. 79 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's what I wondered. 80 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: He knew where he was at, but he nonetheless he 81 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: was there, and it was there were more than three 82 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: thousand people. I think gascon would know that he would 83 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: be a terrible distraction and anger everybody in the family. 84 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: But I think it's interesting that Todd Spitzer was there. 85 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: And let me tell you why. There is I think 86 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: some backchanneling going on to see what the efforts might 87 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: be like to switch this case to Orange County. Then 88 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: how would that go? Well, you know, if you can 89 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: find a loophole a way to do it. You figure yesterday, uh, 90 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: the you know, the the people the cities that are 91 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: suing La County over the zero bail, they successfully got 92 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: their case moved from La Superior Court down to Orange 93 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: County Court. And that's a strictly La County case. So 94 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: I mean Alex Vianueva when he was sheriff, he successfully 95 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: took a case away from the DA and found a 96 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: federal statue to place it in and the Feds took 97 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: it over. 98 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: But wouldn't have to have Gasconnes approval, No. 99 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: Not if the people in question were to take it 100 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: to court and fight it in court. I'm just telling 101 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: you those are some of the grumblings. 102 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 2: I'm hearing. Well, and again what you talking about is 103 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: no death penalty is what? And that's what that's what's spy. 104 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: I don't see the obvious hook. 105 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: I mean, at least with with the with the other 106 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: case she had, with the twelve cities that are suing, right, 107 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: the bail over the bail, you have a conflict of 108 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: interest where you have the LA Court making the grulings, 109 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: so you have to have another court. But a judge 110 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: didn't do that, you know, but it could have been 111 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: a different judge in the system. Didn't have to be 112 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: the presiding judge, that's sure. So I'm just saying that. 113 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: I mean, if we were to truly believe in our 114 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: justice system, it's blind, right, it's completely blind. 115 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 2: Well, it's blind. That's what I've been told. Everything they 116 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: told you in school was wrong. You do know that. 117 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: A lot of what I was told at school as well, 118 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: there was a little there's a lot of gas lighting 119 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: going the killers to prove it. 120 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, again, what Gascone says, he's going for his life 121 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: in prison without parole, which we know doesn't exist, and 122 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 2: he pled not guilty but reason of insanity. That could 123 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: also change the case to show terms of where he 124 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: ends up right. 125 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: Well, it's funny because this is the first case that 126 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: I can recall in recent time where there were two 127 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: separate uh pleades or pleas entered. There was the not 128 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 1: guilty plea and then the not guilty by reasony. Now 129 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: the reason this is actually a pretty smart strategy on 130 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: the part of the defense attorney. The Kevin Salazar will 131 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: go through the criminal trial. Now, if he's for whatever reason, 132 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: found not guilty, then it's all done, it's over. But 133 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: if he is found guilty of the crime of killing 134 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: Ryan Klinkenbrummer, then they go into the insanity phase. So 135 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: then that plea comes in. They've already placed that plea, 136 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: so now it goes in, and then they have to 137 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: determine in another series of hearings and trial if he 138 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: was truly incapacitated at the time he. 139 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: Pulled the trick. 140 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: Oh, so that's two separate tracks exactly follows the other, right, 141 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: And that's why it was sort of clever on their 142 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: part to put the duel please in at the same time. 143 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: Now, is he going to be examined before we actually 144 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 2: get to trial as to whether or not he's insane 145 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: or this is going to come after the case runs. 146 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: Well, that's a great question. I don't know the answer 147 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: specifically to that, but I would presume based on what 148 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: was told to me by the investigators and by the 149 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: das in charge of there's two co lead investigators or 150 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: excuse me, two co DA prosecutors on this case. 151 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: From what I'm. 152 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: Told that that's not going to play in it yet, 153 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: because they want to do a kind of a rough, 154 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: raw criminal trial first and then only if now the 155 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: prosecution might bring it up. 156 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: It's not clear whether this defense will brings up. 157 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to get too far in the weeds 158 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: on this, and I don't know if you know this. 159 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: So if they do the regular trial, is the defense 160 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: attorney going to use. 161 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: That defense that is insane? Because I mean he obviously 162 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: made it sound like no, I mean sound guilty, then 163 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 2: he will. It's on video he did it, So that's 164 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 2: not the question. The question is whether it's insanity is 165 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: an excuse for it? Right? 166 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: And I think that that's all going to come into 167 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: play towards the end. I don't know that that's going 168 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: to be a basis for his defense. I mean, there's 169 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: nothing else. But here's the other thing, right, But here's 170 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: the other thing. We know the weapon was legally purchased, 171 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: and there were multiple weapons sees at the house. But 172 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: also something that came from my conversation with those close 173 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: to the case was they have yet, at least as 174 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 1: of last week, have been have been unable to confirm 175 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: his diagnosis as schizophrenic or otherwise. 176 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 2: Okay, just a family saying this. 177 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: Yes at this point now they said he wasn't on 178 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: his medication. 179 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: That's easily verifiable. 180 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: But what they he was hospitalized, so that's easily verified. Right, 181 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: But did he ever get an actual diagnosis? What I 182 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: got PaperWorks signed by a psychiatrist, because when I asked 183 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: the question, well, how did he get through the background 184 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: check or was there a background check of any kind? 185 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: That's going to be a crux too. 186 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: That's going to be a part of that in there 187 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,359 Speaker 1: that's going to play because if he had. 188 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 2: Like a confirmed paraoid schizophrenic diagnosis, how does that not 189 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 2: show up at a background check. I'm only talking about 190 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 2: computer databases. It's it's it's easy to type in a 191 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 2: name and access the list of people who should be 192 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: banned from buying a gun. 193 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: It depends what kind of a record he has, we 194 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: don't know what's in the system with him yet, we 195 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: don't know what's ever been entered into the system with him. 196 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: So at that point they said he's he never had 197 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: a criminal record that we could tell, though deputies had 198 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: been dispatched to his home numerous times, but nothing that 199 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,679 Speaker 1: rises to the level of him having a record per se. 200 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 1: So he may not have any kind of a record 201 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: whatsoever that would cause a red flag. And if he 202 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: didn't have an official diagnosis of some sort of mental defect, 203 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: that's not going to show up anywhere either, right, So 204 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: if they try to use this paradoid schizophrenic as a defense, 205 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: but there wasn't a diagnosis before the shooting. As far 206 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: as evidence, that doesn't exist, right, there's no proof that 207 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 1: he was paradise schizophrenic at the time of the shot exactly. 208 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: And that's just the family's assertion. Well, I mean, you know, 209 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: you could always you can get any doctor to write 210 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: a prescription. Even having a prescription doesn't mean there's a 211 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: fit diagnosis RW and all right, you know, and the 212 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: thing is too, we don't know that the pills were 213 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: his right, So all right, Steve, very good, Okay, guys, 214 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: thank you. 215 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: We'll keep very much all. It's Steve Gregory covering the 216 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 2: funeral of Ryan Clinkinbroomer. He was the La County Sheriff's 217 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 2: deputy who was murdered back on September sixteenth in Palmdale. 218 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: More coming up, Johnny kenkf I AM six forty Live 219 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: everywhere iHeartRadio app. 220 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI 221 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: AM six forty. 222 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: When Joe Biden was running for president against Trump in 223 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: twenty twenty, he said in one of those debates, when 224 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 2: I'm president, we will not build another foot a border wall. None. Well, surprise, surprise. 225 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 2: Last night a public notice appeared. It's like, this is 226 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: how the media found it from that bald headed idiot Mayorcis, 227 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 2: the head of the Department of Homeland Security, that they're 228 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: going to build up to twenty miles a border barrier 229 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 2: is in the Rio Grand Valley of Texas, one of 230 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: the busiest crossing spots for migrants attempting to enter the 231 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 2: United States. This looks like and it is an admission 232 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: that things are out of control. They need to do 233 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 2: a lot more than this, but at least they're bowing 234 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: to again. What Biden did when he became president was 235 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 2: because it's Trump. I'm reversing everything he did. Yea. So 236 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: all the border policies and Trump implemented, I'm gonna overturn them, 237 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 2: and this is a disaster. You know what, two things 238 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:20,079 Speaker 2: can be true. 239 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 1: You can dislike Trump's personality, and he did some things 240 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: that worked. And one of the things that worked was 241 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: not just the partial wall that he built, but all 242 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: the other policies that were implemented during his administration. 243 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: They worked. 244 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: It didn't cut off all the immigration, but a good percentage. 245 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: Of it remained in Mexico. Title forty two, he built 246 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: some border wall. All of this stuff did help. Because 247 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: here's the important point. The world got the message that 248 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: you're not to welcome. What happened with Biden was the opposite, 249 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 2: and it's resounding not just in Central America and South 250 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 2: America all over the world. The message is going back 251 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: to relatives because oh, Ben, that's what happened. It's that simple. 252 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 2: That's how human nature works. People don't follow the details 253 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 2: of all the border policy stuff, but they get the message. 254 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 2: They say they're owned by other people who tried to 255 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 2: cross and rent it to problems that's simple. Yeah, you 256 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 2: get a call that says, hey, I got here. Come on, Yeah, 257 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 2: they wouldn't let me in. Don't cut. Every border expert 258 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: we bring on the show says what John just said. 259 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: They get a call that's not bad. Come on, it's 260 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 2: a very simple thing. I mean, these are poor, desperate people, 261 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: so that's how their communication lines work. All they send 262 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 2: me a text did you get in? Okay, here I come. 263 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: All the video that we see every day of thousands 264 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: of people coming over the border, that video is running 265 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: on television stations all over Central and South America. 266 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: It's on everybody's phone. Everybody in the world can see 267 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 2: thousands of people coming over the border every day. So 268 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: of course they're gonna come if they don't like where 269 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 2: they're where they're at right now. So listen to this, 270 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: talking out of both sides of his mouth. Biden is 271 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: beholden to the open border crowd that basically runs his administration. 272 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: Keep that in mind when you listen to this clip today. 273 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 2: When reporters were pelting him with questions, and as I 274 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 2: saw the I watched the audio before we went on 275 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: the air, he kind of said, I'll just answer one 276 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 2: question on the border. Wall. So here is the audio. 277 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: I'll answer one question on the border wall. 278 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 1: The border wall. 279 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: When money was appropriated for the border wall, I tried 280 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They did, 281 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 3: they wouldn't. 282 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: And in the. 283 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: Meantime, there's nothing under the law other than they have 284 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 3: to use money for what was appropriate. 285 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 2: I can't stop that. No, Okay, okay, I gotta look 286 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: at some ice cream. I gotta take a nap. He's somebody, 287 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 2: which way do I go? He waived twenty six laws, 288 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: environmental laws so that the wall gets built. He didn't. 289 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: But he's acting like there's nothing I could do the money. 290 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: He's lying. He's absolutely lying, because what you can do 291 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: is that you can slow it down forever by requiring 292 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 2: all the environmental reviews and everything else. That's those twenty 293 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,359 Speaker 2: six laws. Oh yeah, they're hearing it from Democratic mayors. 294 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 2: I mean Mayor Adams of New York is in Mexico. 295 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: He's taking a tour telling migrants in and you see 296 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: the way he's facing. Oh it's dangerous. Really, this may 297 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: not be the great American dream. You need to manage 298 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: your expectations. This is gentle way of saying, don't come. 299 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: I'm overwhelmed by the way. I don't understand who passed 300 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: this spending. Well, it comes it generally comes from the House. 301 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: The House starts all spending, but the Senate has to 302 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: approve of it. They do, yes, So he must have 303 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 2: had some bill and some spending. I don't buy his story. 304 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 2: I think he was Bes said twenty nineteen. So this 305 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: is when Trump was president. More than a billion dollars 306 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 2: Congress allotted in twenty nineteen for border wall construction. Congress 307 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: required the government to use it by the end of 308 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three fiscal year, which entered September thirtieth, 309 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: and the administration tried to get them rescind to funds, 310 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 2: but it didn't happen. Well, Republicans control the House. 311 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, but the Democrats controlled the House for the first 312 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: two years of the Biden administration. 313 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: Right, but this was this is a twenty nineteen bill, right, right, 314 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: But Trump was still right. Right, But in twenty one 315 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 2: and twenty two, the Democrats said that they could have 316 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: recited the money. There's something fishy about this story. It 317 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: doesn't have and he lies all the time compulsively. So 318 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: I don't believe anything out of his That's what I mean. 319 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: He's trying to have it both ways. Yeah, they know 320 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: they have to do something, but he wants to tell 321 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 2: the open border crowd ain't don't worry. It's just we 322 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: have to spend some time. It's only twenty miles and 323 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: if he even understands any. 324 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: Of this. 325 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: True too.

We're going to bring back Todd 340 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: Bensman to talk about what's going on. You're not gonna 341 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 2: believe the story and it's a little island there off 342 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 2: of in Texas between Texas and Mexico that looks like 343 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: it's ground zero for a possible war between the cartel 344 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 2: and the US. So we'll get into that in about 345 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 2: the one more thing on the border. And I was 346 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 2: trying to remember where I read this. It was yesterday, 347 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 2: the day before. The possible places are either The New 348 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: York Times, CNN. It wasn't the La Times. It was 349 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 2: this story about the conservative obsessive fascination with the border 350 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: and migration. Whoever wrote it was trying to point out 351 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 2: how many stories Fox News does, both on their website 352 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: and for their viewers about the migrant crisis, and I 353 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 2: was trying to make it sound like it's exaggerated, made up, 354 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,120 Speaker 2: and it's just trying to tap into what racism I guess. 355 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, racism, xenophobia. Yeah, because well, it's well over 356 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: two billion people. I mean that that's that's one of 357 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: the it's it's we have never seen numbers like this, right. 358 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 2: Oh, and it's had a huge control, it's had a 359 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 2: huge impact on some cities. I mean, it's so played 360 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 2: down by most of the media. Has no idea this is. 361 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: Happening because they're ideological, because they have an ideology where 362 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: they think there should be no borders. We've got no 363 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: right to have borders to keep people, poor people from 364 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: accessing America's wealth. That's not the way they envision the world. 365 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: It's like that stupid John Lennon song. Uh, you know, 366 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: imagine remember that? Yeah, gent like that. Just those lyrics, 367 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: The lyrics are insane. They're exactly about this no borders, 368 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: right right, Uh, let's have no borders and let's have 369 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: no fences. Except you can't let millions and millions of poor, unskilled, 370 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: uneducated people come in here cram into the cities. 371 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 2: What do you got? You got people laying in the streets. 372 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 2: Well that's why Mayor Adams is in Mexico and he's 373 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 2: going to Columbia other places to say don't come. Yeah, 374 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: that's why that fat headed governor of Illinois, what's his name, Pritzker? Pritzker? Yeah, boy, 375 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: I think is that the challenger to news him? Possibly 376 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: is the future president. Want he wants to run for 377 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: president too. He's making noise now that this is too much, 378 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 2: but he's saying, we just want the federal government to 379 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 2: give us, make the money and aid. 380 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: Because you get well, I know in the schools in 381 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: New York City that the schools are getting crammed with 382 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 1: illegal alien children who can't speak English and haven't been 383 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: well educated for their age. Well, now, if you're an 384 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: American parent, an American taxpayer, and you're always lectured about 385 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: having to use the public schools, public schools or the 386 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: backbone of America all that crap, well now what now 387 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: what you know? 388 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 2: It's it's so, it's just absolutely wrong. 389 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: You do have to have order, You do have to 390 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: have laws respected and enforced. 391 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: You do. 392 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: You cannot have a society any other way. And and this, 393 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: this this psychology of no laws, no order, anything goes 394 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 1: is so insane. It is absolutely insane. There's no rational 395 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: thought to it. There's no logic, there's no nothing. No, 396 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: you can't have millions of people coming over. 397 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 2: And they've actually absolutely ruined some of the cities in 398 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: South Texas, the border towns. I mean, how a manut 399 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 2: you people are supposed to put up with? You're right? 400 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 2: And the other thing I'm seeing in a few columns, 401 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 2: and I think in this case it was the El 402 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: Segundo Times. Oh no, we need this because America is 403 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: getting old. The birth rates are fading. We need migration 404 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 2: to make sure our social security can be paid to 405 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: the old white people. 406 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's all, it's all nonsense. They tried out 407 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: the same tired old arguments over and over again. Right, 408 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: America is not gonna make it if we don't have 409 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: millions of legal aliens stampeding over the border every year. 410 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: Where you stop it, Well, you know, Southern California, particularly 411 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: LA always got their statistics and their studies and their nonsense. 412 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 2: LA is a great way to look at this historically, 413 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: because now this has been going on for decades. We're 414 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: not getting hit like Texas now. But LA took on 415 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 2: a lot of migration back in the eighties nineties. And 416 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: look where we are with the high rate of poverty 417 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 2: twenty five percent, very poor schools. You heard Newsom scolding 418 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: reporters the other day because he signed the bill for 419 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 2: twenty dollars an hour fast food wage. These are now 420 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 2: adults with families to take care of them, have these jobs. 421 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 2: These are not the days of the high school kid. 422 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: It was just trying to get some skills. Well, I'm 423 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: afraid these are not skilled jobs. So therefore, the pay 424 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: is commensurate. Right, that's never gonna change. 425 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: And if the government jacks up the rate too high, 426 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: then the then the restaurants will simply go out of business. 427 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: They'll raise the prices and then you're right, don't have 428 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 2: to go out business because business will fade. 429 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: We ought to have we to have a commission to 430 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: jack up the the salaries of everybody works for a 431 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: Newsom pump jack winery until he starts to squeal that 432 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: I can't afford this, I'm gonna go out of business. 433 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,159 Speaker 2: But what you can't jack commission is a mass of 434 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 2: people who you know, God love them, but they don't 435 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: have any skills. Now they get miired in poverty and 436 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 2: because they can't catch up, they never even get to 437 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 2: get education because they're trying to pay the bills and 438 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: take care of a bunch of people, and it becomes 439 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 2: that's what happens. 440 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 1: And you know what's false about the social security argument 441 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 1: is they don't earn much money, so they don't pay 442 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: much in Social Security benefits. 443 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: If at all. 444 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: Because so many illegal immigrants work underground, they're not on payrolls, 445 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: they're getting paid in cash. There's no tax money going 446 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: into the system. There's no social security money going into 447 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: the system, and it's been documented over and over again 448 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: that the average illegal alien, over the course of his 449 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: life costs many much much more money than they put 450 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: into the system. So it's what they right is propaganda. 451 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: It's false, it's lies because they belong to this ideological 452 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: political religion and every religion preaches nonsense. Well, every religion 453 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: a push his ideas that are not possible. 454 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: Well, when we come back, we will touch on that subject. 455 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 2: You had mentioned yesterday that Michael Schellenberger, along with a 456 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 2: co researcher, put together what's called why this one simple 457 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 2: chart will end Wokeism, And it's like a psychological assessment, 458 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: as John describes it, like the cult the religion that 459 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: this crowd of people is assembled into that believes on 460 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 2: topics like race and trans people and climate in certain 461 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 2: extreme things, and now they're so dedicated to it. It 462 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 2: is like a cult or religion. We'll get into that 463 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 2: coming up next. Johnny KENKFI AM six forty Live Everywhere 464 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. 465 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 3: You're listening to John and Ken on demand from KFI AM. 466 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 2: Six forty. 467 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: On the radio from one until four after four o'clock 468 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: John and Ken on demand the podcast. 469 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be bringing on Todd Bensman Center for Immigration 470 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 2: Studies after two o'clock. What a story he is covering. 471 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: There is an island in the Rio Grande River apparently 472 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 2: is controlled by the Mexican cartels, and it's ugly. They 473 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 2: have sniper nests, they probably have booby trapped it. It's 474 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: a place where they can retreat to in case either 475 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 2: the border patrol or the Mexican military is too close, 476 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: so they retreat there. He's going to give us the 477 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: inside story of this island and attempts. Because it is 478 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 2: part of the state of Texas, it has been determined 479 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 2: that they want to take it back from the occupying 480 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: cartel forces. So we'll get into all of that after 481 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 2: the news at two o'clock. 482 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: One thing we've been talking about for years is that 483 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: a lot of these progressive movements that we've been enduring 484 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: the last about five years or so are really very 485 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: similar to weird cult religions, and the people in these 486 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: weird cult religions are acting out in mentally unstable ways, 487 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: and except a lot of people in the media are 488 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: sympathetic to the same political goals so they cover these groups, 489 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: these people as if they're sane, legitimate, and they've got 490 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: a point. But Michael Schellenberger, the journalist, and his partner 491 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: Peter Bagosian, have have done some research to bolster what 492 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: we've been talking about for a long time that this 493 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: actually is a religious cult and the people involved are 494 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: mentally ill, and you could diagnose it because their behavior 495 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 1: matches what you find in the diagnostic manuals. 496 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 2: Religion taxonomy is what they call this, right, and they 497 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 2: put it together in three big categories, race, climate, and 498 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 2: the trans issues. 499 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they open with some of the examples of 500 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: the insanity going on. Over the last few years, woke 501 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: progressives have behaved in increasingly odd ways. Black Lives Matter 502 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: activists in Washington screamed at and hovered over a woman 503 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: sitting peacefully in a restaurant, demanding that she raised her 504 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: fist in a salute. 505 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 2: I think about that. You have these grown men and 506 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 2: women screaming at another woman who's just eating dinner. Stick 507 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 2: your fist up in the air and salute us. What 508 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 2: climate activists through soup at a van go painting, dumped 509 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 2: milk on the floor of a grocery store. Cemented their 510 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 2: hands to our airport runway. Think about this behavior in adults. 511 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 2: You're throwing soup at a painting. Now, why what are 512 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 2: you gonna do? 513 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: Transgender activists falsely claimed that there was a genocide against 514 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,159 Speaker 1: trans people, genocide even though there's no evidence that trans 515 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: people are being killed at any higher rate than non 516 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,239 Speaker 1: trans people. They've got a lot of lies, they've got 517 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: a lot of hysteria. But they shot it really loudly, 518 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: and then this stuff starts getting repeated in the media coverage. 519 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: So they covered this and again it's called woke psychopathology 520 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 2: a taxonomy, So this was a very scientific analysis and 521 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 2: they were trying to come together with the traits that 522 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: characterize They actually referred to the American Psychiatric Association's Dyke 523 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: Statistical Manual. It calls cluster B personality disorders, and there 524 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 2: were four of these personality disorders, narcissistic, anti social, histrionic, 525 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: and borderline. And then they run through how these traits 526 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 2: are seen in some of the actions that John Dusk 527 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 2: described by the craziest of the woke people. 528 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: If you look at the woke groups that obsess on race, 529 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: they display attention seeking behavior such as black squares on 530 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: Instagram taking a knee the chant of say her name. 531 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: I think that's a trans chant BLM protests. 532 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 2: No, say her name is the woman that was killed 533 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 2: during the drug raid. Oh right, right right, okay, y, 534 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 2: that was where that came from BLM protests. But they 535 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 2: gave up with the hands up, don't shoot, didn't they? Yeah? 536 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 2: They did. 537 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: That was Michael Brown that was so universally debunked that 538 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: Jesse Smolett. I mean, he's like a poster child for this. Yes, 539 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: is completely be made up an attack right. 540 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 2: All the Black Lives Matter protests. 541 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: Then the second category is grandiosity, an exaggerated sense that 542 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: you're owed a great deal. You may recognize this in 543 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: some people, you know, And some of the traits that 544 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: these protesters have exhibited under grandiosity is reparations for slavery 545 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: are necessary and will never be sufficient. We must defund 546 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: and abolish police in prisons. The Transatlantic slave trade was 547 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 1: humanity's greatest crime. And of course they shout and intimidate 548 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 1: and normal people start going, oh, okay, okay, yeah, I'll 549 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: go along with that. Are okay, But really, what you 550 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: have are mental patients screaming at you wildly exaggerating whatever 551 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: it is. Their issue might be emotional dysregulation. You start 552 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: behaving dramatically and erratically. They yell that whites are inherently fragile. 553 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: Speech is violence. This is one of my favorites. And 554 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: silence is violence. That's the one that really pushed me 555 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: over the edge. Silence is violence. If you didn't come 556 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: out and I. 557 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: Just saw that banner on somebody's home a few weeks 558 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: ago and it said white silence is violence, you added 559 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: a word to it because it implies that if you're 560 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 2: not standing up for what's happening to Black America, you're 561 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 2: committing violence too. Climate shit, it's the police violence angle, 562 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 2: by the way. 563 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: There, there's, there's, there's what is there Eight categories here 564 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: of bizarre behavior, attention seeking, grandiosity, emotional dysregulation, excess of empathy, 565 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: victim ideology, impaired reality testing, lack of empathy. And it 566 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 1: covers climate change as well. For example, under climate change, 567 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: some of the attention seeking, uh throwing soup on paintings, 568 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: dumping milk on the floor, gluing hands on the floor, 569 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: stopping traffic and blocking subways, emotional dysregulation. You've get these 570 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: people young adults claiming you've stolen my childhood because I 571 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: don't know. It was too high out. 572 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 2: The Uh oh, that's what that means. I guess I 573 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 2: don't know. Well, some of the stuff I don't even understand. 574 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 2: How dare you use a dead name? 575 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, new phrases that you're not supposed to argue with, 576 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: Like if you call a transperson by their old name, 577 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: uh h, you've dead named me. It's like, no, I 578 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: knew you for thirty five years under that name. So 579 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: it just came out. 580 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, he did a very clinical analysis, and it's good. 581 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 2: Although my hand is up yes. On the other end 582 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 2: of this, the people that believe in pizzagate, the people 583 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: that believe that r FK, the JFK Junior was going 584 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 2: to show up at Dealey Plaza and become the vice 585 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 2: president for Trump. Yeah, and I just saw a story 586 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 2: the other day that they did show up waiting for 587 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 2: that to happen on the anniversary of the John F. 588 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: Kennedy shooting. Oh yeah, a couple of years ago. Would 589 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 2: he waited there because JFK Junior was going to show 590 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 2: up and take his place next to Trump for the president. Geez, 591 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 2: I just heard a new isn't that also psychological? Yeah, yeah, 592 00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 2: those those are psychological on the other end of on 593 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 2: the other end of this. Yes, it is idiot because 594 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: it's a mental disorder, and it's it's a mental disorder 595 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 2: in your brain, and it can be displayed in any 596 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 2: number of ways. 597 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: It's not just through politics. There are a lot of 598 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: people who demonstrate this kind of behavior and all of 599 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: it is non political, or it can be QAnon politics, 600 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: or it can be woke politics. But the bottom line 601 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: here is a disorder. Right, Yeah, it's a mental disorder, 602 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: and it merges with religious like political beliefs, and that 603 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: could work with QAnon people, it could work with woke people, 604 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 1: or you don't even need a political component necessarily. And 605 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: you know, I've met a few people who have these 606 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: kinds of behavior patterns, right, and we've worked for a couple, 607 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: so the you know, and that's what it is. It's 608 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: disordered brains. And you're in a population, you're always gonna 609 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: have a certain percentage of disordered brains. 610 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,479 Speaker 2: But they got elevated to becoming the social leaders of 611 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 2: our culture. Now, yeah, that is the scary part. That's 612 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 2: the problem is there, they're dictating policy, all right, If 613 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 2: you want to see more on this, look up Michael 614 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 2: Schellenberger why this one simple chart will end wokeism.
