1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Welcome.

4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: We are on from one until four o'clock, and then

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: after four o'clock. Whatever you miss, you listen to the

6
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: podcast John Cobel Show on demand and that's how you

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: that's how you catch up. That's both shows are exactly

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: the same in terms of content. All right, there's there's

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 2: stuff happening as we speak downtown, So we're going to

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: go right to this. This is some kind of national

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: shutdown has been called by all the whack jobs that

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: are part of the protest industry, and so today they're

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: expecting big crowds in LA and Orange Counties. It's supposed

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: to be a nationwide day of doing nothing.

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: This one.

16
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen like lots of stupid protests, especially

17
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: the last five six years. This one, I am completely

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: baffled by. They want people to do nothing. Don't they

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: know it's Friday afternoon. Nobody shows up for work anymore

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: anyway on Friday afternoon, everybody always goes home. How are

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: you gonna tell the difference. Let's go to Michael Monks.

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: He's in downtown LA what's going on.

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, John. This crowd here outside of La City

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: Hall and between the City Building and Gloria Molina Park

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: on Spring Street has swelled from a few hundred about

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: an hour ago. I think there's clearly more than a thousand.

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: Are never good at gauging this just from this view,

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: but definitely more than a thousand people here in the

29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 3: middle of the street as part of the national shutdown.

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: You noted this is a day not necessarily where they

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: say to do nothing. They are calling them to do

32
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 3: something very specific, which is to come out here and protest.

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: The nothing part relates to no work, no school, and

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: no buying from the big businesses. That's why you've got

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: another protest no buying another part of the region outside

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: of a target store.

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: Oh, are they not going to have lunch or it's

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: limited no buying.

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: It's unclear.

40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: I will say, you know, I drove from the fashion

41
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: district here in downtown LA to get over to the

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: City Building with this equipment this morning, and the immigrant

43
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 3: owned shops were opened.

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, those folks are at.

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 3: Work today, and that is our sight of many immigration

46
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 3: related enforcement efforts.

47
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 1: The immigrants are wed this protest.

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good argument for deporting some of the

49
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: Americans and keeping the immigrants who want to work.

50
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: That's going to be my new issue.

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: But this was motivated john more and more immediately by

52
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: the deaths of those two protesters in Minneapolis. So you

53
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 3: are seeing signage related to Renee Good and Alex s Pretty.

54
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: You've also got.

55
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: Signage related to the man who was killed in Northridge

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: by an off duty federal agent. So there are a

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: lot of signs here calling for justice for those individuals.

58
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: Ice out of la is on these signs. A lot

59
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 3: of anti Trump sentiment here in this crowd is also

60
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 3: extremely young. If I had to guess, I'd say a

61
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: good chunk of this are the high school students who

62
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: left school today.

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I could see that all these subversive groups

64
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 2: have infiltrated most of the schools to quickly organize the

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: kid But high school kids will We'll walk out over anything.

66
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: They'll walk out because the hand sandwich tastes a little funky,

67
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 2: and they'll have a.

68
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: Protest engage in these protests.

69
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: Since the beginning of this they have protested the Trump

70
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 3: administration since the beginning of the school year.

71
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: We saw some walkouts in the fall.

72
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: But this is the largest immigration specific related protests that

73
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: I've seen in this part of southern California since June

74
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: when the enforcement actions really started to ramp up for

75
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: the first time. And now what seems like to me

76
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: is that with the tragedies that happened in Minneapolis as

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: well as with Keith Porter in Northridge, and those are

78
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: all under investigation, these folks are re energized to come

79
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: out and confront immigration enforcement again.

80
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: Right, is there any immigration enforcement tending today? Are any

81
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 2: operations going on that the direct directly that's directly being affected.

82
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 3: Not clear because this is not near any of their facilities.

83
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: We do understand that there may be a gathering tonight

84
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: around seven o'clock on the other side of Temple Street

85
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: where we saw a lot of those protests in the summer.

86
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 3: Get a little, let's say, testier outside of that detention

87
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 3: facility where some illegal immigrants suspected illegal immigrants are being held,

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: So that might happen. And then tomorrow the people who

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 3: brought you the No King's March are calling for people

90
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 3: to return to downtown Los Angeles for a rally tomorrow.

91
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: As well the No Kings March, and what did that

92
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 2: accomplish the No Kings march? I forget what was the

93
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: consequences besides not you.

94
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 3: Know, I don't know that there were consequences or actions.

95
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: But sometimes people just want to blow off steam. And

96
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: a lot of people did come down here to participate

97
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: in that movement earlier last summer. These people have a

98
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 3: lot of state the largest protests. It's America in twenty

99
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 3: twenty six. John, there's a lot of steam. Maybe that's

100
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 3: why so many people are overweight. They're filled with steam. Well,

101
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: that'd be an easy fix, I think if you just

102
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: give them a good squeeze. So why don't you go

103
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: out and start hugging people, John, pop them?

104
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I just wonder if they'd noticed that that

105
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: Trump administration is not backed off to porting people.

106
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 4: Well.

107
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: I asked that of a councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, who I

108
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: interviewed a little while ago, and I'll bring some of

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 3: that sound to the studio soon. But I asked, I said, look,

110
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 3: if President Trump ran very openly on this message and

111
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: more than half the country said yeah, go for it,

112
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: and that's what's happening. So what are you hoping to

113
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: accomplish as a local government when you stand up to this,

114
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: and what she says is there's checks and balances, and

115
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: she is of course correct about that. There's an executive branch,

116
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: let a slive branch, a judicial branch, and local governments

117
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: and all of that. So what they're doing is they

118
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 3: obviously don't agree with the immigration and Horseman effort.

119
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: They're looking for any way they can to slow it down.

120
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: All right, Michael Monks, thank you, my pleasure. Very good

121
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: Michael Monks for KFI. I have trouble talking about this stuff.

122
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: I find nearly all protests to be absolutely useless, and

123
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 2: I understand that their their magic on television because the

124
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: the housebound audience that watches the news in the middle

125
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: of the day. If you wonder about the demographic to

126
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: watch TV news at, say, you know, one in the afternoon,

127
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: just look at the commercials. It's mostly diseases that you've

128
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: never heard of, and certainly diseases you don't want to catch,

129
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: mostly diseases related to advanced age. So this is I guess,

130
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: entertainment for people trapped in nursing homes and they're not

131
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: able to get out of their wheelchairs to change the channel.

132
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: So I mean it looks exciting.

133
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: You have angry people and they're they're chanting and they're

134
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: waving their stupid signs. Sometimes you know, the chants are poetic, right,

135
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: they rhyme. Sometimes there's music. You always have one bozo

136
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: with a drum and you hear the boom boom boom

137
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: boom in the background, and that's that's always a good

138
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: time to listen to. But if you look at this

139
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: stuff objectively, a colossal waste.

140
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Of time in there.

141
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: But I realized the people who are involved in this

142
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: have the it's not a waste of time to them

143
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: because they have nothing to do in their life.

144
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: This gives the meaning.

145
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: A lot of them are getting paid, so it's like

146
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: watching people at work. I find these incredibly boring. I mean,

147
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: unless you have real violence breaking out, then that gets exciting.

148
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: Right when they bring out the tear gas, they bring

149
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: out the UH less than lethal methods UH. And then

150
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: when they start setting fires, like in June when they

151
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: when they UH protesters called up Waimo and summoned five

152
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: waymos downtown and all those were set on fire, and

153
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: then that's that's pretty colorful television. But otherwise it's a

154
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: stupid message. Ice is absolutely necessary. It's what Michael said,

155
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: is like, that's what Trump ran on, ran on, and

156
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: by the way, he's got majority support to deport illegal aliens.

157
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: I you know this, this is the this is the

158
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 2: sliver of progressive activism that is like a plague. It's

159
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: like it's like, you know, you have a body like

160
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: you you're probably mostly healthy, but I don't know, something

161
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: bit you and it got infected and you're constantly having

162
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: to treat the infection. And it's you know what, maybe

163
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: you got maybe you got a spider bite in your

164
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: leg or something, or a wasp bite, and it's like,

165
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: oh man, I got infected. And it's periodically there's puss

166
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: coming out and some flame.

167
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 1: Well that's what the that's this. This is the.

168
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 2: Pussy infection of American society. The stupid activists in their

169
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: protest movements, they amount to nothing. For all the protests

170
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 2: during the Trump era now, which is going on we're

171
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 2: in year eleven, imagine how many protests. I think we

172
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: were talking about this the other day, the first day

173
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 2: of the first few days that Trump after Trump was inaugurated,

174
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: I was in Washington, DC with my wife recovered for

175
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: the show. Here the Trump inauguration and as we're leaving town,

176
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: all the pink pussycat hats arrived. And that was January

177
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. That's nine years ago. So million women march

178
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: just like so what happened after that?

179
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 5: It makes them feel like they're doing something. It makes

180
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 5: them feel that they're not.

181
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,119
Speaker 1: That they're not useless. They're usually useless.

182
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 5: I'm saying when I talk to people about protesting, they

183
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 5: feel that if they keep their mouth shut on something

184
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 5: they feel strongly about, that's not a good thing.

185
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: So they feel.

186
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 5: That they need to talk about it, they need to protest,

187
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 5: they need to be with other people to feel the same.

188
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Way about them.

189
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 2: So it's public therapy sessions for people who feel impotent.

190
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: That's great. They have no effect on policy. I mean,

191
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 2: I can't think of Trump changing his policy at all

192
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: once in all these years. I mean maybe they, you know,

193
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: do a tweak on a strategy or a tactic if

194
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: something's not working or it's too much trouble, but in general,

195
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: they're going to keep deporting. I forget what the pussy

196
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: Pussy had crowd was complaining about me Too movement. You

197
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 2: know that that kind of petered out too as well.

198
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: You don't hear much about that anymore. They got enough

199
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 2: innocent guys roped in or exaggerated charges that.

200
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: That thing was.

201
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 5: There were some guys that were total losers.

202
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: There were some guys not all no, but yeah, I know,

203
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: but but you would think it was all guys all

204
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: the time from the way everybody was acting instead of

205
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: you know, the usual narrow You always have a narrow

206
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 2: sliver of people who are doing bad things, and you

207
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: should you catch them and you put them away, like

208
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: Parvey Winstein, right, is gnarled up genitals. That's put them away. Epstein,

209
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: same thing, right, Fortunately he checked himself out. Maybe all right,

210
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: more coming up.

211
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I

212
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 4: am six forty.

213
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: All right, so Michael Monks is still downtown and anything

214
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: if any stupidity breaks out among these losers that are

215
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: clogging up traffic, I just have a question. Apparently there's

216
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: all kinds of closures downtown. When we went and covered

217
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: the the late the Rally and the Palisades a few

218
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: weeks ago, they let us burn. I was told that

219
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 2: that organization had to pay thousands of dollars for a

220
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: permit in order to hold their demonstration. Now, did these

221
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: groups did they have to pay the city thousands of

222
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: dollars for a permit to block traffic at one o'clock

223
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: in the afternoon most normal people are working.

224
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: Or do they get a waiver.

225
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: Because Karen Bass supports subversive groups who screw up taxpayers'

226
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: normal workdays.

227
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, another question.

228
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: All right, here's what you need to know about all

229
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: these demonstrations. These things are staged, phony, organized mayhem. And

230
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: let me start off with this story from Fox News.

231
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 2: This is from their online operation Fox News Digital. They

232
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: talked to Andrew Tchikarski, make that Andrew Cherkoski, a former

233
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: federal prosecutor, and he told Fox that there's undoubtedly a

234
00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: lot of money behind agitators in Minneapolis, and very possibly

235
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: foreign money. One of the financial backers of these anti

236
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: Ice demonstrations is an advocate of the Chinese Communist Party.

237
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: I think most people don't have one half of one

238
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: percent of the knowledge they should have about how much

239
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: the Chinese underwrite this rebellion in our country in order

240
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 2: to attempt to rot us out from the inside. The

241
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: way they send fentmil to this country so that we

242
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: end up with thousands of drug addicts dying in the

243
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: streets here. They spend these Chinese Communist Party operatives spend

244
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: lots of money manipulating people's emotions on social media and

245
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: paying them to organize and agitate and cous mayhem in

246
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: the streets of the big cities. And that's what's going

247
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 2: on here. Fox News has found that several organizations who

248
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: are the lead voices in mobilizing agitators, uh, play groups

249
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: I called the Party for Socialism and Liberation and the

250
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: People's Form. Well, both those organizations are largely subsidized by

251
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: an American, a former tech mogul named Neville Roy Singham.

252
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: I've told you about these these weird tech guys who

253
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,359
Speaker 2: made huge fortunes.

254
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: Uh.

255
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 2: They're they're in a particular subset of the business that

256
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 2: nobody really understands. But they made they made a big fortune,

257
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: they sold their company, and then they spend it trying

258
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: to undermine American capitalism, the American democracy are just our

259
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: whole system of civilized life. So we've got a we've

260
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: got one here, Neville Roy Singham. And this is according

261
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: to various media reports and congressional investigations. Singham has been

262
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: investigat for decades, going back to the nineteen seventies. And

263
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 2: you may wonder, well, why isn't he in jail. I'll

264
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 2: explain that in a moment. A former federal prosecutor tells

265
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: Fox News Digital that he's moved to China, and by

266
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: moving to China, it shields him from being subpoened by

267
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 2: US law enforcement. In the meantime, he's pumping vast amounts

268
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: of money to create these protest organizations, these these organizations

269
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 2: designed to cause trouble. Singham sold his IT consulting company

270
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: nine years ago for seven hundred and eighty five million

271
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: dollars and moved to Shanghai. He was the focus of

272
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: a New York Times expose in twenty twenty three that

273
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: revealed his connections to the Chinese Communist Party and his

274
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 2: determination to finance extremist groups. To in bolden is radical ideology.

275
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: So the Times exposed, this guy and his money goes

276
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 2: to the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the People's Forum,

277
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: and these are two of the main groups creating all

278
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: the mayhem in Minneapolis. In fact, the New York Times

279
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: said that Neville Royce Singham has funneled over a quarter

280
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: of a billion dollars to organizations in the US. These

281
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 2: organizations have vague names, their office address is they're in

282
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: suspicious locations like ups mailboxes. He's seventy one years old

283
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: and he shares his office space with a Chinese media

284
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,359
Speaker 2: company called the Maku Group that is funded by Singham

285
00:16:55,600 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: and is associated with pro Chinese Communist Party propaganda. Their

286
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: mission is to tell China's story well. Investigations into his

287
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 2: activities go back literally over fifty years when he was

288
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 2: in his early twenties, when he was flagged for being

289
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: engaged in activities that are oppositional to US interests. The

290
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: House Overside Community Oversight Committee launched an investigation into Singham

291
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: for his involvement in the anti ice riots here in

292
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: Los Angeles, and one of the benefactors for the rioters,

293
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 2: according to the Oversight Committee, is Neville Roy. Singham say

294
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: he was paying for the trouble that we had in

295
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 2: Los Angeles last June, in addition to local Hispanic groups

296
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 2: funded by taxpayers like Churla. But the big daddy here

297
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: is this guy and this is according to many different

298
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: media reports. Singham lives in China. He has a long

299
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 2: track record of assisting far left entities such as Code Pink.

300
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: You see those crazy people, usually women, who go busting

301
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: into congressional hearings, screaming and yelling and carrying on Supreme

302
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: Court hearings and the like. And I go on and on.

303
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: It's a very very long story, but you should read

304
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 2: most of it. You should read the rest of it yourself.

305
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: So again, that's really what's going on. So when you

306
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 2: see the dopey local anchors of the dopey national anchors

307
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 2: talking about all the unrest, you see the politicians saying, obviously,

308
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 2: the American people are fed up with this. No, most

309
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: Americans want ice, and ice is going to stay. It's

310
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: not going to go anywhere. Most of them want criminal

311
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 2: aliens to be deported. A majority want non criminal aliens

312
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: deported too. They don't like to see the mayhem. Then

313
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: nobody wants to see people killed in the streets, and

314
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: so that's caused a temporary dampening of enthusiasm. But ultimately

315
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: it's what Trump was elected to do, and they're going

316
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 2: to continue to do it.

317
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: They're just gonna be maybe a little cleaner about it.

318
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: But both victims were part of these subversive groups and

319
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: the whole plan of the part of these groups is

320
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 2: to whip people up into a frenzy.

321
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: To create extremely tense.

322
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: Chaotic situations, knowing that if we do this every day

323
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: in enough cities, one of the officers is going to

324
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: blow and fire a shot that he shouldn't fire, and

325
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: now they have a martyr, and now that re energizes

326
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: their movement. So everything's going according to plan and according

327
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: to script. None of it's genuine though. The only genuine

328
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: thing is they really want to do under They want

329
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: under minor way of life and destroy our way of

330
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: conducting ourselves.

331
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: As a nation.

332
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI A

333
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 4: six forty.

334
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on downtown in LA where they have

335
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 2: over a thousand people gathering for these fake anti ice protests,

336
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: and we've just been explaining to you that based on

337
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: reporting by The New York Times and Fox News and others,

338
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: these protests in Minneapolis and in Los Angeles for the

339
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 2: past year have been funded in large part by one

340
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: man named Neville Roy Singham, who made seven hundred and

341
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 2: eighty five million dollars in the IT industry, sold his company,

342
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: moved to China, and he is the one who funds

343
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: all these bizarre protest groups who create all the mayhem,

344
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 2: the Party for Socialism and Liberation for an example, the

345
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: People's Forum for another example. And he works out of Shanghai,

346
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: and he does the dirty work for the Chinese government.

347
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: The Chinese government has done a lot of damage to

348
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 2: this country, not only unleashing COVID and lying about it,

349
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 2: but they also have sent in a tremendous amount of

350
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: fentanyl ingredients that were mixed in Mexico and then transported

351
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 2: here and has killed, as you know, literally hundreds of

352
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: thousands of people. So we had hundreds of thousands, if

353
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 2: not millions die of COVID that they lied about, hundreds

354
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: of thousands that have died from sentinel poisoning. And now

355
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: they're trying to burn down the cities with these ice

356
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: protests that this guy, along with the Chinese Communist Party

357
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: are funding. There was no question that they are. And

358
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 2: you should go read the New York Times articles about it,

359
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 2: and read the Fox News stories about it, and many

360
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: other publications as well. And so you know, we got

361
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: to Los Angeles. One of the first stories we got

362
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: some notoriety for Ken and I was covering the OJ trial.

363
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: And what triggered me about the OJ trial in the

364
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 2: very beginning is how everybody in the media was pretending that, well,

365
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 2: we really don't know what happened. Did OJ do it? Well,

366
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: maybe he didn't do it. Maybe he could have heard

367
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 2: some of the other defense theories. Maybe it was maybe

368
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 2: it was a group of ninja fighters, remember those things,

369
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: And maybe it was OJ's son, or maybe maybe it

370
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 2: was this, maybe it was that. It's like, no, it

371
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: clearly it was Oj. So we were the only ones

372
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: you said every day, all day long. Uh, clearly this

373
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: was OJ, obviously, But the rest of the news meetings

374
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: like what, we're trying to be objective here, we don't

375
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: really know for sure, and and uh, and and and

376
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: then you end up with that verdict. And that's where

377
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 2: I lost total faith in the whole system. I lost

378
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: faith in the whole media system, lost faith in the

379
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: whole jury system. The truth was evident, as evident as

380
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: the nose on your face, and yet everybody played pretend.

381
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: And then when the verdict came out, people continued to

382
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: play pretend. But that's what the jury said, it looks

383
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: like you didn't do it. We got a situation here

384
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 2: similar in this way. Everybody in the media should know

385
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 2: that these that these protests are bankrolled by uh, very

386
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: wealthy people who have radical views, and they create these

387
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 2: subversive organizations to create mayhem in the streets. Part of

388
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 2: the job is to go the ice officers into doing

389
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: what they did in the last few weeks in Minneapolis.

390
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: These protesters are goaded into being very aggressive. The aggressive

391
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: protesters go far enough to trigger something in a random

392
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 2: cop boom, he shoots protesters dead, and now the place

393
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: is energized. Now these organizations are taking into even more donations.

394
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: Now they have more people who they're useful idiots. All

395
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 2: these people, of course, it's young people. It's young people

396
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: who feel hopeless. They feel empty in life. Why because

397
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: they spent their childhood staring at screens and scrolling and

398
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: scrolling and scrolling on social media looking for the dopamine

399
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 2: hit of some likes theyded all. They of course they

400
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: have pointless, empty lives. And some of the old people

401
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 2: who showed up for the Nome King's rally, they're the

402
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: leftover hippies from the sixties and seventies who in the

403
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 2: excitement in their youth of their idiotic rallies that accomplished nothing.

404
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: These are collections of losers, but they get their moment

405
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 2: another moment here breaking news CNN nationwide anti as protests.

406
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: Of course, when it was put up for a vote,

407
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: Trump won easily and getting deporting people wins easily in

408
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,719
Speaker 2: the polls. Had a couple of bad incidents, and if

409
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 2: the cops screwed up, then the cops ought to go

410
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: to prison, like Derek Schauvin did for the George Floyd situation.

411
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 2: But you think, I mean, we've successfully deported what was it,

412
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 2: I think six hundred and seventy five thousand people, and

413
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 2: then we have self deportations over two million. And then

414
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: you look at the conditions that the ice officers are

415
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: operating under with thousands and thousands of protesters screaming at him,

416
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 2: blowing their stupid whistles, shouting, throwing things. Yeah, a couple

417
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: of times there's gonna be a bad action because the

418
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: world's not perfect. Human beings are not perfect. And if

419
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: you go over the line, you violate policy, you do

420
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: something like kill someone when you shouldn't have, then yeah,

421
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 2: you'll get thrown in prison or get fired or whatever

422
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: whatever the punishment is. But now we're into the shutdown

423
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: ice like defund the police. A few years ago, when

424
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 2: cities started defunding the police, you suddenly had record murder rates.

425
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: And everybody's saying, wow, the murder rates are down. Well

426
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: because most places they realized defund the police was a disaster,

427
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: and they stopped not only defunding the police, but they

428
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: allowed the police go back to go back to their

429
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: normal ways of combating and tracking crime. Because the police

430
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 2: had completely shut down. They were staying in their patrol cars,

431
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: they were passing by and waving at criminals.

432
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: And that's why you had a high murder rate.

433
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: And then everybody I got sick of that, And now

434
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 2: the murder rates are going down. Oh and you know

435
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: what else? I heard something about how the lays at

436
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: a historically low murder rate. Do you think that's got

437
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: something to do with all the criminal illegal aliens that

438
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: have either been deported or deported themselves. I saw a

439
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 2: story a few days ago that rental prices in la

440
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: are coming down for the first time in many years.

441
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: Do you think that has to do with thousands and

442
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 2: thousands of illegal aliens either getting deported or self deporting.

443
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: Gee, wouldn't that open up the market a bit.

444
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 2: Wouldn't that cause rents to drop when you don't when

445
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: you don't have hundreds of thousands of people in competition

446
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: for these apartments, and you don't have these criminal aliens

447
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 2: committing crime in the streets, so the crime rate goes down.

448
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: Nobody connects all these dots. They're waiting for you to connect.

449
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: Look around, you got less crime. I know, we got

450
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: less traffic. You got less crime. We got less traffic.

451
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: We've got rents falling. We must have lost hundreds of

452
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: thousands of illegal aliens because we had the highest percentage

453
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 2: in the country, and between deportations and self deportations, that's

454
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: about two points seven million that are not here anymore.

455
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: We must have had at least ten percent of that total. Well,

456
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 2: it's a couple hundred thousand people. That's a couple you know,

457
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 2: that could be tens of thousands of apartments that opened up.

458
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: That's tens of thousands of trucks and cars not on

459
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: the road, tens maybe hundreds of crimes, thousands of crimes

460
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: not being committed. It's all connected. Of course, nobody in

461
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: the media will do that connection. But that's what we're

462
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: here for. And OJ's still guilty.

Speaker 2: Alex Stone is coming up right after Deborah's News at

473
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: two o'clock to talk about uh uh, you talk about

474
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 2: a useful idiot and a stooge, Don Lemon, who flamed

475
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: out as a CNN host and anchor for all kinds

476
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: of reasons. He's he's like not mentally well, he got

477
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 2: arrested last Friday.

478
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: There was a now let me see, uh or was

479
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: he arrested today? He was arrested last night?

480
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 2: He was yeah for yeah, he was arrested last night

481
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 2: with the at a hotel in Beverly Hills for what

482
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: he did about a week ago in Minnesota Saint Paul,

483
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: Minnesota City's church. There was a group of protesters that

484
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: stormed into the church during a service, and that breaks

485
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: federal law. Because if there's there's UH, there's federal law

486
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: that protects church goers from being invaded by angry groups

487
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 2: protesting one thing or another. There's the Enforcement Act of

488
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 2: eighteen seventy one, which bans interference with certain civil rights,

489
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 2: such as voting, serving on jurors, or the right to

490
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 2: practice one's religion. It's known as the Ku Klux Klan Act.

491
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: It was created to prevent the racial terrorist group from vigilanteism.

492
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 2: They're also considering charging Lemon under the Freedom of Access

493
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: to Clinic Entrances Act, which is a law from nineteen

494
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: ninety four that covers interference with religious worship. Then there's

495
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: conspiracy charges that are possible. And here's the thing. Lemon

496
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: is trying to claim. Well, I'm a journalist and he

497
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: doesn't work for anybody anymore. He's one of these independent

498
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: journalists and he's got some kind of online operation. But

499
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna play you a clip, and I don't know

500
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: if this part quote is in the clip, so I'm

501
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: going to read it to you. During one of his

502
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 2: reports or live streams, Don Lemon says they're planning an operation.

503
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,520
Speaker 2: We're going to follow them on. I can't tell you

504
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: exactly what they're doing, but it's called operation pull Up.

505
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: So that's what we're doing here. And after we do

506
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: this operation, you'll see it live. These operations are surprise operations. Again,

507
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: I can't tell you where they're going. So he seemed

508
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 2: to identify himself as part of the group. That's what

509
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: we're doing here. After we do this operation, and he's

510
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: providing like the public relations coverage for his followers. Well,

511
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: now he's trying to claim no, no, I was just

512
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 2: a reporter exercising my first Amendment to rights to inform

513
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: the world about a news event. So you know he

514
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 2: wants it both ways. And the Department of Justice, by

515
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: the way, they took this to an appeals court and

516
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: got the indictment, so it's not just some crazy Trump

517
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 2: loving attorney who's bringing the charges, but they got a judge,

518
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: judge or judges to sign off on it. Give you

519
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: an example of his reporting. I don't know exactly what's

520
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: on this, but here's Lemon interviewing a Minneapolis church pastor.

521
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: What do you think of it?

522
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: I mean, this is unacceptable, it's shameful. It's shameful to

523
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship. But I

524
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: have to take care of my flaw.

525
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 3: There's a constitution in the First Amendment to freedom of

526
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: speaks him the freedom to assemble in protest.

527
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: We're here to worship.

528
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of

529
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 3: these cities, that's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ.

530
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: We very respect, but please don't push me there.

531
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: Let's stop right there, stop right there. The church pastor's

532
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: trying to explain. It's like, look, we have a bunch

533
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: of people here in my church, and they're here to

534
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: worship Jesus Jesus and practice they're religion and lemon aggressively saying, well,

535
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 2: they have a First amend right to gather in protest. Well, actually,

536
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 2: you don't in a church because of the laws that

537
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: I read to you before the Ku Klux Klan Act,

538
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 2: the Enforcement Act of eighteen seventy one, the Freedom of

539
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: Access to Clinic Entrances Act.

540
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: No, you can't burst into a church and do this.

541
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: You know.

542
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: One of the reasons allegedly that they burst into that

543
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 2: church is they thought the pastor had some connections to Ice,

544
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: so they decided that they were going to storm his church.

545
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 2: Now I don't know if that's true or not, but

546
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter because it is legal to have connections

547
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: to ICE. ICE is a law enforcement operation. And all

548
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: these Democratic politicians who are speaking out and want to

549
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: get rid of ICE, when they had the chance to

550
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 2: just four years ago when they had the House, the Senate,

551
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: and the presidency, they didn't do it. But now because

552
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: ICE killed two people out of the hundreds of thousands

553
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: that they've deported and out of the thousands and thousands

554
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: and thousands that have protested, you had two incidents that

555
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 2: want to ry and now they want to defund the

556
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: whole operation. So this, uh, this nut, This useful idiot

557
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: Don Lemon joins the people storming a church and then

558
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: tries to say, oh, First Amendment, right now, you don't

559
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 2: have a First Amendment right to storm a church and

560
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: disrupt religious services. Part of the First Amendment is religious

561
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: freedom to worship. And no, you can't claim that we're

562
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: part that he Don Lemon is part of an operation

563
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 2: and then claimed, well, no, I was just covering the operation.

564
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: It's nonsense. But he's been a crazy person for a

565
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 2: long time. When we come back, Alex Stone is going
