Now. 11 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 2: The big story here locally in Los Angeles is the 12 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: return of ice. They had been told by a number 13 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 2: of judges to stop doing the roundups, stop arresting people 14 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 2: without reasonable cause, stop roving around, and today they had 15 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: a new tactic. They rolled up a rented Penske truck 16 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: into the parking lot of a home depot in the 17 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: Westlake section of Los Angeles, and workers gathered around, thinking, oh, 18 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: we have some work today, and out jump all these agents. 19 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: Michael Monks, what went on? 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: You described it well? If you think back to your 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 3: high school or undergrad days, you may recall the Greek 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 3: mythology story about the Trojan horse, where the Greeks were 23 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: able to infiltrate the city of Troy by gifting a 24 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 3: large wooden horse that, unbeknownst to the Trojans, was full 25 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 3: of Greek soldiers inside. So it is appropriately now known 26 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 3: that this was called Operation Trojan Horse, as this Penske 27 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 3: truck that you noted, served that same role. 28 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: You said it right. 29 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 3: This Penske truck pulls up to a home depot parking 30 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 3: lot in the mid city Westlake area of LA around 31 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: seven o'clock this morning. There is a home depot there. 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 3: There are often would be workers standing around outside. You 33 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 3: know this area, well, you see it a lot, and 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: apparently they thought they had the opportunity to get a 35 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: job because of whatever this Penske truck was up to. 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 3: It was offering work and according to The Times, that 37 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 3: article notes that the driver of this truck told some 38 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: workers around thet we're looking. We're looking for workers. Workers 39 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: gather around the door, pops open and out pomps, ice 40 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 3: agents and a news crew that was embedded with them 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: to show this. Fox News was embedded inside this truck 42 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: as well, so it was quite a surprise. People started 43 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 3: to run from the scene. Ultimately sixteen people were taken 44 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: into custody these witnesses described to our friends at NBC 45 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: four what happened. 46 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: Fifteen or twenty eighteen. 47 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 4: These area, you know, where the people sell food every morning. 48 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: They are arrased five people in that area, but they 49 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 4: are raised more downstairs. 50 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 5: They came in unmarked sprinter vans and trucks and then 51 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 5: a rental Penske brand moving van or a moving truck 52 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 5: rather like a box truck, and they pulled in over 53 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 5: by that Starbucks over there, and then up into this 54 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 5: front part of the lot off of Lulls for Boulevard, 55 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 5: and they grabbed whoever they could. 56 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 3: Now, if this had happened too much ago, John, this 57 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 3: would have been just another immigration operation that we were 58 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 3: seeing pop up all over southern California. But since then 59 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 3: the district Federal court and a ruling that was upheld 60 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 3: by the Court of Appeals at the Ninth Circuit, said 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 3: it cannot be you federal agents going around and stopping 62 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: people because they're Hispanic, because they're speaking Spanish, or because 63 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 3: they're hanging out in home depot, parking lots, car washes, 64 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 3: that sort of thing. 65 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: That is not probable call. 66 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: Just because they fit the stereotype of what illegal alien 67 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: men do. 68 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: Around here. 69 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: So we need to learn more about what's different about 70 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: this case, because it did not stop those rulings all 71 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 3: immigration enforcement. So if you have a warrant, if you 72 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: have probable cause, then you can go about your business. 73 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 3: But because of these rulings, we have seen a sharp 74 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: dropped almost nothing as it relates to these raids. 75 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: It doesn't seem plausible that they would have background information 76 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 2: on random home depot workers at seven in the morning. 77 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: You may find yourself surprised that you are in agreement 78 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: with one. La Mayor Karen Bass. Here's what she said. 79 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: What I saw on the video, what I saw on 80 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: the pictures that were sent to me. 81 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 3: Looked like the same guys chasing people through a home depot. 82 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: The only thing he gets her upset, the only thing 83 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: she gets really animated about. 84 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, No, it's okay. 85 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: Incidentally, she is at an event today with business, government 86 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: community groups to talk about the impact of immigration enforcement 87 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: on the local economy that was scheduled ahead of this event. 88 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: Been seen in the Palisades in the last three months. 89 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: I don't know if she I think she must have 90 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 3: gone at some point, but maybe I'm not entirely certain 91 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: about that. Ask some people in the Palisades about how 92 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: they feel about our presence there, and you might understand 93 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: why it's not as frequent. Yeah, But she's clearly suggesting 94 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 3: that whatever this operation was, Operation Trojan Horse at the 95 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: Home Depot in Westlake, was out of bounds as it 96 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 3: relates to the rulings that have come out out of 97 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: Wealth Circuit. 98 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: All right, this is. 99 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: Something that's broil Oaks, the ABC News analyst, the legal 100 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: analysts on other issues. What happens if Trump ignores these 101 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: court orders and the appeals he loses every round and 102 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: then I just does it anyway? 103 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: Then who are you going to arrest? Who are you 104 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: going to punish? 105 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: That's what I want to know too, because what are 106 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 3: the ramifications? What are the repercussions if the federal government 107 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 3: does violate the terms of this ruling. Now we don't 108 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 3: know for sure that's what happened yet, we're hoping to 109 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 3: find out more from. 110 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: But I, you know, I'd like to know how they 111 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 2: knew in order to comply with the terms of the 112 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 2: appeals court ruling. 113 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: How would they know these were illegal aliens? Exactly? 114 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: Like I said the other day, you can go to 115 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: a factory and you could get a hold of their 116 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: payroll and you could run the names and see which 117 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 2: of them don't have Social Security numbers or stolen numbers, 118 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: you know, the paperwork stuff to track them or run 119 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: their names and see who has deportation orders in their past. 120 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: When you and I talked on Monday about the Ninth 121 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 3: Circuit ruling that upheld the lower court rulings on Friday, 122 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 3: we talked about it on Monday, That's what I suggested 123 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: we could see happen more frequently was more legally sound enforcement. 124 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: That's finding the employers who are knowingly employing illegal immigrants 125 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 3: and taking that route, because you could still probably round 126 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: up plenty rather than just going around the streets. But 127 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: we haven't heard yet from the Department of Homeland Security 128 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 3: what exactly motivated this operation outside of their suggestion that 129 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 3: this is a part of the city that's been infiltrated 130 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 3: by MS thirteen gang members. And they didn't say for 131 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 3: certain that these guys waitning onside home depot are gang members, 132 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: but that's. 133 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: All members have a job. Gang members aren't looking for 134 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: day labors. 135 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: It's the same thing they said when they marched through 136 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 3: MacArthur Park, right, That's showy display a couple months back. 137 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, this does have a big effect on 138 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: getting people to self deport I mean we talked about 139 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: lists report from the Center for Immigration Studies estimated that 140 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: about a million people a million illegal aliens have taken 141 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: off on their own. 142 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: And today would be a reminder to those folks that 143 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: if you thought there's a little bit of comfort right 144 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 3: now because of these legal rulings in the ongoing case, 145 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 3: that case isn't finished. That was a temporary restraining order. 146 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: The comfort zone probably cleared up. We did hear from 147 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 3: Penske Truck Rental. This was the truck that was rented 148 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: by the federal government, apparently. 149 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: At the official rental service of ICE. 150 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: They would like to tell you, no, they are not. 151 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 3: Penske strictly prohibits the transportation of people in the cargo 152 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 3: area of its vehicles under any circumstances. The company was 153 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: not made aware that its trucks would be used in 154 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: today's operation. Now, I will note that that statement which 155 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 3: they posted on X was quote tweeted quote XD by 156 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security, which shared an article from 157 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three in which border agents found fifty eight 158 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: migrants crammed into a Penske truck in alleged human smuggle 159 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: in Yeah, and I don't think Pensken came out with 160 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 3: a public statement on that. Bill Saley, the acting US 161 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 3: Attorney here in Los Angeles, said, for those who thought 162 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 3: immigration enforcement had stopped in southern California, think again. The 163 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 3: enforcement of federal law is not negotiable, and there are 164 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 3: no sanctuaries from the reach of. 165 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: The federal government. I guess it's not even negotiable with 166 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 2: the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal. 167 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: Well, that's what we have to find out, is it 168 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 3: was this operation and violation of the terms of that ruling. 169 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 3: We don't know for searching you, Yeah, we know that 170 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 3: it appears these were suspected illegal immigrants who were outsigned 171 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 3: this home depot in Westlake. 172 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: But were they gang members? 173 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: Were they on some list that motivated the officers to 174 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 3: go specifically to that area, or were they just roving 175 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 3: around in their Pinske trojan horse and found these guys. 176 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: Well, I mean they set out bait, right They rolled 177 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,599 Speaker 2: up in the truck, so they didn't know who was 178 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: going to run up to the truck. 179 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: They didn't know who was there it may be a 180 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: legal loophole that they pose as somebody offering, the same 181 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 3: way that a sting operation with a john and a prostitute. Right, 182 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 3: you might either pose as a prostitute or you might 183 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 3: pose as a john in order to but you have 184 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: to be careful in those instances too, so as not 185 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 3: to incriminate folks unlawfully. 186 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 5: Yeah. 187 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 2: I also noticed that the budget now that ICE has 188 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 2: is thirteen times what it used to be. I think 189 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 2: they're very anxious to spend it. Yeah, ten billion, that's 190 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five billion. So there's no way 191 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 2: to stop these guys. 192 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: The court rulings were supposed to at least pause this type, 193 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: this type that suspected of what this is. 194 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 1: But we've often wondered. 195 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: But the agents are wearing masks so you can't identify them, 196 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 2: and the illegals are gone. They're not going to be 197 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 2: seen again. So I just wonder, you know, what can 198 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 2: anybody do about it? 199 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: That's right? 200 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: I mean, you see local governments trying to do something, 201 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 3: but they aren't ultimately going to have the authority to 202 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 3: unmask agents to stop the raids. But the courts should, ideally, 203 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 3: you know, regardless of your position on the immigration enforcement. 204 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 3: The courts do have a role to play in the 205 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 3: execution dall. But now we'll be curious to see whether 206 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,479 Speaker 3: this was determined to be outside the bounds. 207 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: Of I enjoy anarchy as much as anybody. Okay, so 208 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: Michael Monks, KFI News reporting, we will discuss this further. 209 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: I believe what all the ICE agents are saying and 210 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 2: all the other public officials that ICE is never going 211 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: to stop here, and they've made it clear that the 212 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 2: best thing to do is take your thousand dollars from 213 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 2: Christy Nome and leave the country and get on a list, 214 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: apply to return at some future date, because the old 215 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: game is over, and they've got the money, and they 216 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: got they got the guts just to pull anything off 217 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: that they want to. 218 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 219 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 6: six forty. 220 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock. 221 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: After four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the 222 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: podcast coming up after one thirty after Deborah's News. Gavin Newsom, 223 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: with a lot of fanfare, has completely reversed some of 224 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 2: his some of his policies against the oil industry. You know, 225 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: he's pretty much driven the oil industry out of California. 226 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: By next year at this time, we'll be down to 227 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 2: six refineries, and we used to have in the forties. 228 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: Twenty five years ago, we had over twenty and now 229 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: we've got six. And now the gas price could explode. 230 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: They might have to shut down the oil pipeline. And finally, 231 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: now as he prepares to run for president, he realized 232 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: he can't run for president if he destroyed the oil 233 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: industry in California. And we're going to be paying eight 234 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: dollars a gallon. And it's actually really funny. Not only that, 235 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: but a number of Democratic legislators are admitting it's. 236 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 1: Like, okay, all right, all right, yeah, there's a little 237 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: too much. 238 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 2: Even environmental kids who run these environmental advocacy groups have said, yeah, 239 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 2: all right, all right, we went too far. It's it's 240 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 2: it's funny, except it's not funny. That'll be after one thirty. 241 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 2: So the border patrol agents is fascinating. So I you know, 242 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 2: they spent a few weeks quiet, and I'm sure some 243 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: of these smug, arrogant a whole activists, so oh yeah, 244 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: we beat them. We beat them in court, We had riots, 245 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 2: we messed up. 246 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: All their raids. Blah blah lah. Well they reconvened. 247 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: And one of the things about driving around in an 248 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 2: ice truck is it draws a lot of attention. Right 249 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 2: if you're driving through neighborhoods where there's lots of illegal aliens, 250 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: many people are going to see the ice truck coming through. 251 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 2: And so what they didn't in the raid this morning 252 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 2: at the home depot is they rented a generic Penske 253 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 2: truck just had the name of the company, the rental 254 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: company Penske on the side. So no, oh, and this 255 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: way the CHURLA, which is that illegal alien nonprofit activist 256 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 2: group which is heavily funded by California taxpayers, they weren't 257 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 2: aware because what they do if they get a phone call, 258 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: they have this rapid response network. Right, Let's say there's 259 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 2: some illegal aliens in the neighborhood and they see an 260 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 2: ICE patrol coming through, and maybe there's a home depot 261 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 2: at the end of the block. Well, they'll call CHURLA 262 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 2: and Surla has a rapid response network where they have 263 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 2: protesters and violent thugs show up to try to get 264 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: in the way of the raid and try to harm 265 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 2: the ice officers. So this was different, right. They were 266 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: hiding inside the Penske truck and they had a driver, 267 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: and the driver pretended to be just a guy who's 268 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: looking for workers for a construction project. And then the 269 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 2: back of the truck the door rolled up and here 270 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: comes all the ICE agents. Because that truck was used 271 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 2: is bait. It attracted the illegal alien workers. They were 272 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 2: surrounding the truck and then they rolled up the back 273 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 2: and all these ICE agents wearing masks, you can't identify them, 274 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,439 Speaker 2: they jump out and they arrested maybe up to sixteen 275 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 2: illegal aliens. And that's why they called it Operation Trojan Horse. 276 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: And I have not seen the Fox video yet. Fox 277 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 2: was heavily covering the shooting in Georgia, but they had 278 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: a reporter and a cameraman I guess embedded in this operation. 279 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: One of the mask agents was wearing a cowboy hat, 280 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 2: a cowboy hat, and he started chasing people. So Ice 281 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 2: ICE is always going to allow Fox these these these 282 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,359 Speaker 2: local activists because. 283 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: Look at the firepower they have. 284 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: Now one hundred and thirty five billion dollars, and this 285 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: is the emphas the epicenter of illegal immigration. There are 286 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: more illegal immigrants in Los Angeles than any other city 287 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: in the country. I mean, they could blow half their 288 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: budget here and it would be pretty proportional. There's a 289 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: million illegal aliens living inside the city of Los Angeles alone, 290 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: and they think four million people in California, a lot 291 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 2: of them here in southern California. So now, now, whether 292 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: whether they violated the court order or not, you know what, 293 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: I don't care. 294 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: I agree with the Trump attorneys. 295 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: People who are here illegally, I don't think have any 296 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 2: They shouldn't have these constitutional rights. 297 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm waiting for a judge to say, wait a second. 298 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: The Constitution was. 299 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 2: Written for the American people and people that we had 300 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: proper license to be here, whether they're tourists, or they're 301 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 2: on visas, or they've got a green card, or you know, 302 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 2: any variation. That's who the Constitution's for. I think if 303 00:15:54,760 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: you just wander in here, no, sorry, you don't get 304 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: any special protections. You're a citizen from somewhere else, whether 305 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 2: it's Mexico or Venezuela or El Salvador. And besides that, 306 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: they found people from one hundred and seventy different countries 307 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 2: had crossed the border during the Biden era. So they're 308 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: subject to the jurisdiction of those one hundred and seventy countries. 309 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 2: And believe me, if you went to one hundred and 310 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: seventy of these countries and tried to live there and 311 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: work there, you wouldn't last five minutes in most cases. 312 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 2: So you know, enough this crap. And it is a 313 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 2: great question. Though I'm not saying I'm not saying that 314 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 2: Ice violated the court order necessarily because we don't know 315 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: the specifics of how they put this raid together. But 316 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 2: even if they did, I don't care. Who cares, Like, 317 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 2: what are you gonna do about it? There are no 318 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: such thing as sanctuaries. Federal government has the absolute right 319 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: to deport at legal aliens. So enough of this, enough 320 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 2: of these fake rights and these fake legal analysis. 321 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: That's my opinion. 322 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: If there is some kind of law that affects us, 323 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 2: you know what, nobody else. 324 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: Seems interested in forcing and enforcing the law. Why do 325 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: we have to enforce these rules? Why for what? Look 326 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,199 Speaker 1: at all the laws that are violated every day in 327 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. 328 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: Everybody's like sleeping in the streets and they're doing drugs 329 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 2: and they're stealing stuff.

So we read 332 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: up the legal aliens and we don't go through the 333 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: official procedure. So what so what on the on the 334 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 2: thieves at the target stores and the convenience stores? So 335 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: what on public drug use? So what on sleeping in 336 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 2: the streets? So what on? On all all all the 337 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 2: burglaries and all the crime. Because these people get caught, 338 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 2: they don't spend much time in jail. Everything is so 339 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 2: what what's the big Okay, fine, we'll play game. So 340 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 2: what's the big deal? So they're rounding people up indiscriminately. Well, 341 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 2: you know, you can choose your laws to ignore, and 342 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna choose my laws to ignore. We 343 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: got more coming up about Gavin Newsom next. He is 344 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 2: a changing changing all his some of his policies on 345 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 2: the oil industry because he screwed himself, backed himself into 346 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: a corner, and has so severely damaged the oil industry. 347 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 2: There may be very little gas and oil available in 348 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 2: this state very soon. We'll tell you about it coming up. 349 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobels on Demand from KFI AM 350 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 6: six forty. 351 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 2: Moist line is on Friday eight seven seven moist eighty 352 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: six eight seven seven moist eighty six. Can't handle the spelling, 353 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 2: it's eight seven seven sixty six four seven eight eighty six. 354 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 2: So use the talkback feature in the iHeartRadio app. Maybe 355 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 2: you'd like to call in and talk about this one. 356 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is suddenly changing his policies on oil production 357 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: because he's so screwed the state. He screwed the states 358 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: so badly that, as you know if you listen to 359 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 2: the show, there's two oil refineries closing, so we're going 360 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: to be down to six in the state we used 361 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 2: to have twenty five years ago, over twenty and the 362 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: oil industry is in ruins. It's possible that they're going 363 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 2: to shut down the main oil pipeline in California because 364 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: there's not enough oil to keep it functioning. And this 365 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: is at the hands of really one of the stupidest, 366 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 2: most arrogant men you will ever see in politics, Gavin Newsom. 367 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 2: I cannot explain to you. I cannot do justice with 368 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: the English language to explain how absurd his policies are, 369 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 2: how damaging and destructive and just stupid because the world, 370 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: and California is still part of the world, runs on 371 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 2: oil and gas. I know the fanatics wish otherwise, but 372 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 2: and it will for the rest of our lifetimes. It's 373 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 2: never going to change, not in our lifetimes. And Gavin 374 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 2: Newsom has done everything he can to shut down the 375 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 2: industry and force us to pay way too much for gas. 376 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: Where were you showing me? Eric Jersey checked in with 377 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 2: two eighty seven a gallon? Yeah, two eighty seven a gallon, 378 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: And Jersey's no picnic to live in either. They got 379 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: progressives running that state, but you know, they're not quite 380 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 2: as stupid as Newsom is and not as destructive. 381 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: So now he's got these oil. 382 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 2: Refineries closing and we could be looking at gas six 383 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,640 Speaker 2: seven eight dollars a gallon. So the boy is panicking. 384 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 2: He first, he first. First of all, almost every other 385 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: thing he says is a lie. Maybe everything he says 386 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: is a lie. Because Newsom said last month that refineries 387 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: all across the globe are struggling to try to explain 388 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: away what's happening here, that is completely false. Refineries are 389 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: not struggling all across the globe. On the one hand, 390 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: he claims that oil companies are gouging everyone and they 391 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: have record profits. On the other hand, they claim he's struggling. 392 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: He's just so full of stinking garbage. So now he's 393 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 2: trying to get buyers around the world to purchase one 394 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: of the closing oil refineries. Now he's offering incentives to 395 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: open up drilling. Current County, Bakersfield has a gigantic amount 396 00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 2: of oil buried beneath it's land, a huge oil reservoir. 397 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: It's hard to explain. If I gave you numbers, it 398 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 2: wouldn't mean anything to you, but it's huge. It's one 399 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 2: of the largest in the country. Can't use any of it. 400 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: He doesn't allow drilling. So now he wants to open 401 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 2: up the drilling in the current County, the Bakersfield area. 402 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 2: And because it's that's they're going to need to do 403 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 2: that to try to lower the price. We don't we 404 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 2: don't process our own oil very much here. We have 405 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 2: to get it imported from all over the world, which 406 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: adds to the excessive cost. Henry Stern is a state senator, 407 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: a Democrat, and at a legislative hearing, Henry Stern said, 408 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 2: call me born again, but I've seen the light on 409 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: exactly what you're talking about. Current County should be unleashed. 410 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 2: He's saying this to Republican senators, current County should be unleashed, 411 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 2: and I'm there, and then he said, don't send that 412 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 2: to the White House please. So he does what he 413 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 2: used it as a political weapon against him. But he's 414 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 2: admitting that we're screwed because we haven't pumped oil for 415 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 2: so long. There's I listened to the environmental crowd. Bill 416 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 2: mcgavern is some wiener who's the policy director at the 417 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: Coalition for Clean Air. It seems like a lot of 418 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 2: our elected officials are driven, above all by a fear 419 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 2: that they'll be blamed for high gas prices. Yes, they 420 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 2: should be blamed because they're responsible. It's not just blame. 421 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: They're the cause of it. They're responsible for it. Newsom 422 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,919 Speaker 2: took the action to drive gas prices way beyond reason. 423 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 2: It's already, you know, at least a dollar fifty more 424 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 2: than most of the states, and it's two dollars more 425 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 2: than many states. That's on him and the legislature. They 426 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 2: did it their fault. Refineries are closing, pipeline getting shut down, 427 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: and on and on. All their fault and what's fascinating 428 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 2: is I always tell you that we've got a lot 429 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 2: of poverty in the state. About a quarter of the 430 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 2: state is in the poverty range. There's about a third 431 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 2: of the states on Medicaid, thirty five percent of the 432 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 2: state has to choose every month whether to pay bills 433 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 2: for food or for housing. And yet so many of 434 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 2: these people vote for Gavin Newsom. And what does he do. 435 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 2: He drives their gas prices up way beyond what any 436 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 2: other state is paying. And electricity prices in this state 437 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 2: are double the national average. 438 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: Double. Now you're struggling for money. 439 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 2: You can't pay your rent, you don't have enough food, 440 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 2: you can't afford the gas, you can't afford. 441 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: The electrical bill every month. 442 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: Why do you keep voting for Gavin Newsom and the 443 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 2: legislators who keep driving up the cost Because there are 444 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 2: a bunch of religious fanatics about climate change, or they're 445 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 2: corrupt and they're taking money from those who are making 446 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: a windfall in the climate industry. One of the two, 447 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 2: probably both. There's one in the California Democratic campaign consultant 448 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 2: named Andrew Acosta. The reality is if those refineries closed 449 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 2: and we have increased gas prices, it's going to be 450 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: a problem for everybody, not just Gavin Newsom, but every 451 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 2: Democrat running for office. 452 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: Here is another. 453 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: Environmentalist, Caitlin Roadner's suitor, California director for the Environmental Defense Fund. 454 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: All Right, she says, I think that had sort of 455 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: failed to read the room, perhaps in a way that. 456 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: Unfortunately Trump did. Why is it unfortunate? 457 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: At least we got at least people who want normal 458 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 2: gas prices have somebody on their side. Why is that unfortunate? 459 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: Maybe it's unfortunate for Caitlin Roadner's suitor. If we're not 460 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: acknowledging people's day to day reality and the challenges they face, 461 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: it's hard for them to care about the existential threat 462 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 2: that is climate change. There's one phrase I just ought 463 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 2: to be banned from life, existential threat. 464 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: Shut up right, Oh, it would be that like the 465 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: polar ice caps are melting. 466 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, right, the North Paul was supposed to be gone, 467 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 2: I think thirty years ago. 468 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: Existential threat. 469 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 2: This is a racket, and they've gotten people like emotionally 470 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 2: whipped up, believing in nonsense, to the point now that 471 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 2: we're down to very few oil refineries, we're paying exorbitant 472 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 2: money for gas and oil. We're paying exorbitant money for 473 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 2: electrical prices for electrical energy and for what for what? 474 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 2: We have no effect on the climate. You're a complete ninni. 475 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,920 Speaker 2: If you think the state of California has any effect 476 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: on the global climate, you are at absolute ninni, a 477 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: vegetable because we don't. No matter what we do, we don't. 478 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: But you've got it. Vote for different people. I mean, 479 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: this is just And now they're admitting it. Now the 480 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 2: Democratic legislators are admitting it. Newsom is admitting it, the 481 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 2: environmental activists are admitting it, the political consultants, everybody's now 482 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,439 Speaker 2: admitting it. Oh well, thanks, do we get any of 483 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 2: our money back. 484 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am 485 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 6: sixty John Cobelt. 486 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and 487 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 2: follow us at social media on social media at John 488 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 2: Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio. 489 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: Coming up after two o'clock. 490 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: Royal Oaks is the ABC News legal analyst who comes 491 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 2: on frequently with us, and we've got we've got several 492 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 2: legal stories. 493 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: One is. 494 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 2: James Comer, who's the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. 495 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 2: Is issuing subpoena is like crazy.

And then New York Times has a story 550 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 2: about this Gifford fire because now that it's fire season, 551 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: and it's always fire season in August right every year, 552 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 2: the usual suspects in the media are ask climate change, 553 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: and our studies are okay, sit down, it's that climate change. 554 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 2: Because the New York Times found out the fire began 555 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 2: Friday afternoon in the Santa Barbara County area. Started as 556 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: four smaller fires along a Highway one sixty six. Four 557 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 2: small fires merged and they were burning on both sides 558 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: of the road. Now, if you hear that there's four 559 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 2: small fires burning in the same area on both sides 560 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 2: of Highway one sixty six, what does that tell you? 561 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: Could be a crazy guy. 562 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 2: Could be a crazy guy, an arsonist who's starting the fires, 563 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: which has nothing to do with climate change. It has 564 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: to do with a crazy guy who probably has a 565 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: long record and was never put away for well, it 566 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 2: was not put away for a long enough time. If 567 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 2: there's a guy starting fires out there, people know that 568 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 2: he's nuts and he's probably done bad things in the past. 569 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 2: They usually this is a lifetime obsession they have, but 570 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 2: it was. It was eighty two thousand acres as of 571 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 2: yesterday morning, and it was threatening. Eight hundred structures went 572 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 2: through part of San Luis, Pispo and Santa Barbara counties. 573 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: But call it that. 574 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 2: Called Highway one sixty six fires, just something so geographically 575 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 2: we could figure. 576 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: This out. 577 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 2: And then stop putting in your climate change prayers at 578 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 2: every report, climate change does not start four small, separate 579 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 2: fires along a short distance of the same highway if. 580 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: You scroll down enough. 581 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 2: In the New York Times article, they admit that ninety 582 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 2: percent of fires are started by humans. Ninety percent. That's 583 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 2: not climate change. That's stupid psychotic human beings who should 584 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 2: be put away. 585 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: But we don't see. 586 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 2: You know, hundreds of years ago, before this deviant species 587 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,959 Speaker 2: was wandering the planet, fires would mostly start around here 588 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:44,200 Speaker 2: from lightning strikes, but now it's mostly US. 589 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: Says. 590 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 2: Fires that begin near roads are often caused by cars 591 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 2: or discarded cigarettes, or campfires or the arsonists, trailer chains 592 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: or if you have a junk car and your muffler's dragging, 593 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 2: that'll cause sparks, brakes that have worn thin, same thing 594 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: under inflated tires might cause cars to drive on exposed 595 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 2: wheel rims, so hot exhaust pipes, mufflers like I mentioned. 596 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 2: And I remember the one last year, and I think 597 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 2: it was an Orange county. They were doing some kind 598 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 2: of roadside construction project. They were picking up boulders and 599 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 2: moving them, and the scraping of the scooper, the metal 600 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,239 Speaker 2: scraping of the scooper that started a huge fire. So 601 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 2: enough with the climate change, and enough with the absurd 602 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 2: names for the fires, so that you know immediately we 603 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 2: know if a fire is nearby or not. All right, 604 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:54,439 Speaker 2: we come back. We're gonna have royal oaks.
