1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't find AM six forty you're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,640 Speaker 2: Lou Penrose in for John Cobelt on the John coblt Show. 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: It's Christmas time even at the Department of Homeland Security, 5 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 2: and the Department of Homeland Security is tripling the incentive 6 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: for illegals to voluntarily self deport. 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 3: Well, it's home for the holidays season. So you know, 8 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 3: not only are we returning those kiddos back to their 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 3: families that by loss, we also are saying that if 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 3: you voluntarily want to go home now to your country, 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 3: if you're in this United States of America illegally, we 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 3: will give you three thousand dollars through the holidays. 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 2: Three thousand dollars. Currently the deal is if you're in 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: the country illegally and illegals know who they are, only 15 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: Democrats are unsure the illegals know who they are. If 16 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 2: you're in the country i legally and if you've committed 17 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: a slight infraction dui or murder, it doesn't matter. If 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 2: you self deport you get a thousand dollars bonus and 19 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,040 Speaker 2: a plane ticket home, and then once you're home will 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 2: have an FBI background checkdown on you if you want 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: to come back, but you at least have an option. 22 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 2: So if you honestly have given it no crime while 23 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: illegally in my country, then maybe, just maybe you'll get 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: a visitor's visa someday. But if we have to chase 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: you down and wrestle you on the ground in the 26 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 2: parking lot of the home depot, then you're gone and 27 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 2: there's no re entry. That's it. When that van door closes, 28 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: that's the last time you hear any noises inside the 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 2: United States for the rest of your life. So that's 30 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: the deal, and I have held that that is a 31 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: very good deal. Few countries on planet Earth would offer 32 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: illegals one thousand dollars to self deport to their home. 33 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: Like it's easy for them to go home, hard for 34 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: us to catch them and find where they belong. They 35 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: know their home address, they've been mailing remittance to it 36 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 2: for years. So to really kind of put a holiday 37 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: twist on this plan that the Department of Homeland Security 38 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: is offering, they're saying, look, it's Christmas time, home for 39 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: the holidays, and we'll make sure that we get you 40 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: home and time for Christmas. 41 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: Are saying that if you voluntarily want to go home 42 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: now to your country, if you're in this United States 43 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: of America illegally, we will give you three thousand dollars 44 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: through the holidays to send you home. We'll buy you 45 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 3: a ticket, give you three thousand dollars to go home. 46 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 2: How a bount And that, by the way, that says 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: US dollars. So three thousand dollars USD goes far in 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 2: many Latin American countries. I know it goes far in India. 49 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: It's got to go pretty far in Turkey. Those are 50 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: the top nations, at least in southern California where we 51 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: are apprehending illegals. Columbia leads the list. Did you know that, 52 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: I'll butt you thought it was Mexico. It's not. In 53 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: the Eelalien Derby, Colombia is in the lead. We've deported 54 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: more people to Colombia than any other nation. China is second, 55 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 2: China in second place. Then you get Mexico, followed by Brazil, 56 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: Brazil in the cleanup position. Then you have Ecuador and 57 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:26,799 Speaker 2: Turkey tying for fifth. Then it's Guinea, India, Guatemala, and 58 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: Peru rounding out the top ten. So those are the 59 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 2: most popular. Like, that's the top ten countries at this point. 60 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: I think Somalia is going to be really coming up 61 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: the back stretch, no question about it, based on what 62 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: I'm seeing happening in Minnesota. So Somalia will make an 63 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: entry into that list, I think the next time that 64 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: list is produced. But that's the people that we apprehend. 65 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: We have no idea the people that self deport, and 66 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: we have already self deported. Are you ready for this? 67 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: One point nine million people went home on their own 68 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 2: in exchange for the plane ticket and the and the grand. 69 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: Like you thought KFI was doing a grand in your hand, 70 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: the United States government's doing a grand in your hand 71 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: for illegals. And it works. And while you may say, hey, 72 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 2: why is a taxpayer? Am I giving illegals a thousand 73 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 2: dollars gift to get the hell out way cheaper? Right? 74 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 2: The ice raids take a lot of planning, a lot 75 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: of overtime involved. There's always one or two or three vehicles. 76 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: They're big vehicles. Gases expensive in California, so it's way cheaper. 77 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: And Trump is a businessman at the end of the day. 78 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 2: But this is a real switcher route A three thousand 79 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: dollars incentive. And I'm here to tell you that that's 80 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: the best deal in town. If you're an illegal, you 81 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: need to consider this because things are going to get 82 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: worse for illegals once January FIRS comes and the tenants 83 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: in the One Big Beautiful Bill kick in, which include 84 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: ten thousand more ICE agents, the raids are going to 85 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 2: be stepped up. It is the most popular component of 86 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: President Trump's presidency at this time. The most popular thing 87 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: he's doing is immigration enforcement. He's getting all kinds of 88 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 2: mixed reviews on his handling of the economy, mixed reviews 89 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: on his handling of international affairs, mixed reviews on his 90 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: mean tweets, but thumbs up across the board on his 91 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 2: handling of interior enforcement. And here's the rub. Now it's 92 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars. So you really need to consider this. 93 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: I have held for a long time. If you're an illegal, 94 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: you need to have your sister in laws to all 95 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 2: the truck, pack your crap, and take that check and 96 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 2: that plane ticket and go home and then chill in 97 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 2: San Salvador for like six weeks or so, and then 98 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: go over to the embassy and submit an application. But 99 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,799 Speaker 2: get to give us some time. And one thousand dollars 100 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: goes really far in Honduras. Now it's three thousand dollars. 101 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: Like three thousand dollars goes far for an American in Peru. 102 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: Just imagine how far it goes for somebody that is 103 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 2: you know whose home is in Peru. Here's the rub, though, 104 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: there's always a catch. The catch is if you don't 105 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: take the three grand and the plane ticket and vamous 106 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 2: and we catch you, then you can't come back. 107 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 3: Raise your hand. 108 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: We'll help you get home. 109 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: We'll facilitate it, and you might get the chance to 110 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 3: come back to this country the right way someday. If 111 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: you wait until we introdict you and detain you and 112 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: arrest you and have to deport you ourselves, you'll never 113 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 3: get the chance to come back. So go on the 114 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: CBP home app and get the information and we'll make 115 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 3: sure you get home in time for Christmas. 116 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: That's right, home and time for Christmas, which is that's expeditious. Boy. 117 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what Christmas is Thursday. You want to 118 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: make it home in time for Christmas with three thousand 119 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: dollars you know, in your in your pants. So that's 120 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: the new deal. That's the big news today. That's the 121 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 2: new offer. Not one thousand dollars, three thousand dollars to 122 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: make our lives easier if you could just go home 123 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: like we've been asking. So is this going to work? 124 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 2: It's going to be an interesting question. It is working 125 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: better than anyone thought. There has been six hundred and 126 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: five to date. This was reported on at the end 127 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: of the close the business Friday, six hundred and five 128 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: thousand illegals deported like over a half a million, but 129 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: two million self deported. And that's with the Biden budget 130 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: staffing of immigration and customs enforcement. When we come back, 131 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what the new twenty twenty six budget 132 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: is for customs and border protection and ice and enforcement. 133 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: And it'll blow your mind. This These numbers will I 134 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: think triple before the end of the first quarter. So 135 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 2: it's uh, it's it's gonna get real, real fast. So 136 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: if you're an illegal, grab the three grand and scram. 137 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: That's my advice to you. Merry Christmas. 138 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 4: Lou Penrose, you're listening to John Coblt on demand from 139 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: KFI AM six forty. 140 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 2: Louke Penrose Info. John Coblt on the John Cobalt Show 141 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: talking about the change in the Department of Homeland Security 142 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: deal for the illegals up to three thousand dollars now 143 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: through the end of the year. So it's a limited 144 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: time offer through the end of the year illegal aliens 145 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 2: who self deport using the CBP home app. So write 146 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: this down really important. Go to the Some Border Protection 147 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: home app and you sign up and say I'm out, 148 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: I'm done. Three thousand dollars is good. You'll get a 149 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars exit bonus. Illegal alien should take advantage 150 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 2: of this gift and self deport. If we have to 151 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: interdict and arrest them, they will not be able to return. 152 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 2: If you ever want to come back, you can if 153 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: you self deport. It's a generous deal. I think it's 154 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: a good deal at a foul now I know the problem. 155 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: The problem is we have been fed this lie, particularly 156 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. I hear all the time the Mayor 157 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 2: of Los Angeles talk about our immigrant community and how 158 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 2: they're all Angelinos, and I keep saying they're not Illegals, 159 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: are not Angelinos, and there's no such thing as an 160 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: immigrant community. They are just Americans that live in Los 161 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: Angeles and illegals, and that's it. They don't blend. And 162 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: you are constantly being told how there is this community 163 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: of good illegals, right, always the good illegals. Let's not 164 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 2: a deal, let's not hassle the good illegals. The President 165 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: said he was going to go after you know, the worst, 166 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: the worst ones. And what is he doing. He's going 167 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: after the good illegals, right. That's essentially what they're saying 168 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: by by saying, why isn't the president going after the 169 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: murderers and the criminals leave the good illegals alone. They 170 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: don't use the term good illegals and bad illegals, but 171 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 2: that's the bifurcation. That's effectively what the mayor of Los 172 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 2: Angeles is saying or suggesting that there is this place 173 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: where these nice, hard working, morally superior like, there's such 174 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 2: good people except for the fact that they're illegal, and 175 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: I should feel bad that they are being deported too, 176 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: and you should feel bad. And I'm telling you there 177 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: is no such animal as a good illegal. It just isn't. 178 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: And you're being misled. They never emerge nobody like, they 179 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: never find somebody whose only crime was they crossed the border, 180 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: but have been working which is illegal and really hard 181 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 2: and somehow got picked up. Like, it's never the case. 182 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: It's always that they illegally re entered the country and 183 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 2: were caught and did not appear in front of the 184 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: immigration judge. And of course no illegal would appear in 185 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 2: front of an immigration judge after being caught illegally re 186 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: entering the country after being deported, because that's a felony, 187 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: and what's going to be the defense, So they just 188 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: don't show and failure to report is instantly deportable. That's 189 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 2: a crime. That's a felony, right, DUI can't do that. 190 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 2: You can't do that if you're legally a visitor of 191 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: the United States. If you're in the United States on 192 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: a student visa and you get a DUI, you get deported. 193 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: If you're hearing a working work like at H one 194 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: B and you commit espousal battery or domestic violent you'll 195 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: get deported. Can't do that, and that's if you're legally 196 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: a resident of the United States. People that are illegally 197 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 2: in the United States and commit crimes, they really have 198 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 2: a good deal going, or had a good deal going 199 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: because they could commit crimes. They're already here illegally, So 200 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 2: what's the difference if they don't show up for their 201 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 2: court hearing on driving without a license or driving under 202 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: the influences, they're not going to show up. So that 203 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 2: that's what we're encountering. People that have committed people have problems. 204 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 2: They committed crimes. Now they may have been years ago, 205 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: but so what right that woman that everybody was talking 206 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 2: about that was screaming and I don't remember where it 207 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: was was at all, and she was yelling and screaming, 208 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 2: and it turned out that she had been caught re 209 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: entering the country illegally in two thousand and one. It's 210 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: like over five years ago. So what they're in the 211 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 2: country illegally? I mean, the goal is to get everybody 212 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: that's in the country illegally out of the country, and 213 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: President Trump is doing it. So this self deportation is 214 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 2: a good way to go. Really, anybody that self deports 215 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 2: has a decent chance of being able to re enter 216 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: as long as their FBI background check comes up. Okay, 217 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: here in Palm Springs, now they're getting in on this act. 218 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 2: In Palm Springs, the chief of Police, Andrew Mills, put 219 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 2: out a social media post he's flanked by the mayor 220 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 2: of Palm Springs, Palm Swings Mayor Naomi Soto, and they 221 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 2: want everybody to know that in Palm Springs they will not, 222 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: absolutely will not help the ICE agents. There's been an 223 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 2: increase presence of immigration and customs enforcement in Palm Springs, 224 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 2: I guess, and so right away law enforcement and woke 225 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: Democrat mayors have to go on social media to assure 226 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 2: us that we will absolutely not help ICE do its job. Okay, 227 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 2: we've seen this before. It's absurd, like we don't need 228 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: the help of local police, but it's happening. But to 229 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: look pious, the woke Democrat mayor and chief of police 230 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 2: went on social media to say, want you to know, 231 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 2: we're not helping. But they're they're number one concern. Not 232 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: that they're that there are illegals in Palm Springs. That's 233 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: not their concern. Their concern is once the illegal gets supported, 234 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: the truck is still alongside of the road, like the 235 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 2: truck is still there or the car is still there, 236 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 2: and what about the illegals belongings. That's what the chief 237 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: of police is concerned about. In Palm Springs. 238 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 5: We've actually talked with ICE agents and let them know 239 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 5: that we are not assisting them in any way, shape 240 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 5: or form. 241 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 2: That's right, not assisting them in any way, shape or form. 242 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: Got to start with that off the bat. We just 243 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 2: want you to know, and we've actually spoke with us. 244 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: We told them, hey, you're an American, I'm an American. 245 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: You're in law enforcement. I'm in law enforcement. We will 246 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 2: coordinate to protect the people, which is our sworn duty, 247 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: all day, every day, except for this one area of illegality, 248 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 2: this one area of illegality, no way, no way, shape 249 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 2: or form. Am I helping you out, fellow brother Blue. 250 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 5: We've actually talked with ICE agents and let them know 251 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 5: that we are not assisting them in any way, shape 252 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 5: or form in their activity. However, we are very concerned 253 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 5: that the vehicles left behind from their detentions and arrests 254 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 5: are unsecured in open to theft. 255 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 2: Oh, open to theft. That's the real problem. That's the 256 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 2: real problem. Is that after we deport the illegal, after 257 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: having to chase down the illegal who will not self deport, 258 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: and then we got to wrestle them on the street 259 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 2: and get them in the back of the ICE ban. 260 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: While liberal white women are screaming profanities at the ice 261 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: agents and we finally wrap it up and you know, 262 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 2: leave the scene. What the chief of police in Bomb 263 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 2: Springs is most concerned about is that the illegal stuff 264 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 2: is open and vulnerable to theft. 265 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 5: However, we are very concerned that the vehicles left behind 266 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 5: from their detentions and arrest are unsecured and open to theft. 267 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: Unsecured you mean like the border was you weren't. How 268 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: Come the chief of police was not concerned about the 269 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 2: United States border for the four years under the Biden administration. 270 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: That's unsecured, and the United States and California was susceptible 271 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 2: to theft, theft in the form of welfare, theft in 272 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 2: the form of public school education, theft in the form 273 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 2: of housing. It's incredible. It's absolutely incredible. It's almost laughable. 274 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 2: So here is Tom Homan in announcing these numbers. He 275 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: says that we are the one big, beautiful bill, which 276 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 2: effectively the budget starts after the first of the year, 277 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: will increase immigration and customs enforcement by ten thousand agents. 278 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 2: So things are going to get a lot faster, a 279 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 2: lot quicker. But first, he says, we got record numbers 280 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: here in less. 281 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 6: Than a year since President Trump's been in the Oval office. 282 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 6: Well in the year, about six hundred and fifty thousand deportation, 283 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 6: which blows any record of the water. But we got 284 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 6: nearly Truman that left on their own because they knew 285 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 6: Ice was out there looking for him, they decided to 286 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 6: leave on their own. 287 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 2: So record number of removals, record number of removals. And 288 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 2: Trump's only been president for three hundred and thirty six days. 289 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 2: It's not yet been a year, and you're closing in 290 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 2: on I mean, my goodness, two million, six hundred thousand 291 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: in total. And the difference is the illegals that are deported. 292 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 2: We know the actual number the illegals that are here. 293 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: We never really know the actual number because it's the 294 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 2: nature of illegals to not have documents, so we really 295 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 2: don't know how many illegals are here. We have estimates, 296 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 2: but there are only estimates, and I don't even like 297 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: the metric they use for estimates. But as far as 298 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 2: the deported illegals, those numbers are concrete. Six hundred and 299 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: five thousand forcibly deported, one point nine million self deported. 300 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 2: And that's with again the Biden budget for immigration and 301 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 2: Customs enforcement. When we come back I'll tell you what 302 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 2: the new budget's going to be. That's all happening. Louke 303 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 2: Penrose on KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on the 304 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app. 305 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Kobel's on demand from KFI A 306 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 4: six forty. 307 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 2: Lou Penrose in for John Cobalt on The John Cobalt Show. 308 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: The US government is tripling the incentive for ellegal aliens 309 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 2: to voluntarily leave now through the end of the year. 310 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 2: They're calling it the Home for the Holidays promotion. Through 311 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 2: the end of the year. Ethigal aliens who self deport 312 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: using the app, the CBP Home app, can receive a 313 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars exit bonus. Currently it's one thousand dollars. 314 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: Inegalaliens should take full advantage of this gift and self 315 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 2: deport because if they don't and we find them, we 316 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 2: will arrest them. That according to the Department of Homeland Security. 317 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 2: Tom Homan was giving some remarks over the weekend. I 318 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: think this was that turning point USA, and he said, 319 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: this record number of deportations going on and record number 320 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:54,360 Speaker 2: of self deportations, and that's this year. Next year it's 321 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: going to really ramp up. 322 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 6: Once rebeat the Sanschwarz cities, once we bring all ten 323 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 6: thousand new agents on the you ain't swying nothing yet. 324 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 2: The crowd goes crazy. So this is probably the most 325 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: significant success of the Trump administration, and it's the most 326 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: popular aspect of the Trump campaign and fulfillment of the 327 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 2: campaign promise. So this is something that he's going to 328 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 2: continue to put the foot on the gas pedal as 329 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 2: an initiative. And three thousand dollars that's a decent that's 330 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 2: a decent exit bonus. You should certainly consider it. But 331 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,719 Speaker 2: act now. There's only nine days left until the end 332 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 2: of the year. 333 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 6: Merry Christmas unless you're an illegal alien. Right I could 334 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 6: dissert your voice. 335 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 2: No, just the opposite, Merry Christmas to the illegal alien. 336 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 2: They can get home for Christmas and have three thousand dollars. 337 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: Are you trying to make me feel bad? You're never 338 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: gonna let me feel bad, Like, don't let them make 339 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: you feel bad. Don't feel bad. These are not Angelinos. 340 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: They're foreigners masquerading as residents of Los Angeles, and they 341 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 2: can't take it in. So we've got to figure out 342 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 2: more creative ways while we increase the budget for Customs 343 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 2: and Border Protection and immigration and customs enforcement. And then 344 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 2: you have other law enforcement agencies making ICE out to 345 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: be the bad guys when they're on our side. Don't 346 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 2: let these liberal politicians in Los Angeles pollute your thinking. 347 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 2: ICE works for us. They're doing our work, which is 348 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 2: interior enforcement, and you are not gonna let make me 349 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 2: feel bad that we're helping people find their way home. 350 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 2: We are already seeing rents come down or at least 351 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 2: stabilize as a result of the vacancies. Like how often 352 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 2: are you preached to about the housing affordability crisis in 353 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: southern California, in Los Angeles, in San Diego, in Orange County? 354 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 2: And it's absurd housing affordability. Stop talking about building new 355 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 2: housing structure, Stop talking about zoning for more residential housing. 356 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: Once all the illegals are gone, then take a look. 357 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 2: You might not need a bunch of apartments. Where do 358 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 2: you think these people live, Like, after they leave the 359 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 2: home depot parking lot, where do you think they go? 360 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 2: They go to your apartments. So when they're gone, there's 361 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 2: going to be an awful lot of apartments available. And 362 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 2: when there's availability, you know what, you see, rents come 363 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 2: down to attract actual Americans to rent the apartment. That's 364 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: just the first order of business. I mean, when you 365 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 2: get into the class size reduction in your children's classrooms. 366 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 2: Los Angeles Unified School District is the largest school district 367 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: in the nation. We don't know how many of the 368 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 2: children are children of other nations. We're trying to get 369 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: everybody home for the holidays. Afterward, then let's look and 370 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 2: see what the class sizes are. Then let's talk to 371 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 2: the teachers and find out if class sizes are good. 372 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 2: Teachers are every election year, teachers are always screaming about 373 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 2: more money for education. Class size reduction. Got to have 374 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 2: some more classrooms, got to have big more teachers, got 375 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: to have bigger more classrooms. Two many people, all right, well, 376 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: why don't we eliminate the children of foreigners and help 377 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 2: them find their way home? And then take a look. 378 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 2: Maybe you might find that the class sizes are great 379 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 2: when you're only educating Americans. And this is the direction 380 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 2: we're going. And ironically, it is the Democrat politicians in 381 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: Los Angeles lists that are going to benefit the most 382 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 2: from the policies that they claim to hate the most. 383 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 2: Right Mayor Karen vass so angry every time she sees 384 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: an Ice van so angry all the time that illegals 385 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: get deported, when in reality, she, as the leader of 386 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 2: the city, will benefit by having lower housing costs, more availability, right, 387 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 2: more room, fewer casework load on social workers, I mean 388 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 2: across the board. And so since illegals primarily congregate in 389 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 2: large cities, and large cities are run by Democrat mayors, 390 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: it is the Democrat mayors that are screaming and shouting 391 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,159 Speaker 2: all the time about this that are going to benefit 392 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 2: the most over time. And as I said, we're not 393 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: We're three hundred and thirty six days into the presidency, 394 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 2: hasn't even been a year. And as you heard there, 395 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 2: the budget for immigration and customs enforcement is about to 396 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: completely ramp up. All right, when we come back, we 397 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 2: got to talk a little bit about the irs. The 398 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: irs now are they're complaining. They put out a memo saying, hey, 399 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: all these new rules, no tax on tips, no tax 400 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,360 Speaker 2: on overtime, no tax or you can deduct the interest 401 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 2: on your auto loan. This is all complicated stuff. Although 402 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 2: it's still math. It's just a lot more people that 403 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 2: have things that they need to report on their tax return, 404 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: and the IRS says that there's going to be some 405 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 2: challenging times going into the new year, so we'll talk 406 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: about that. That's all coming up next. Lou Penrose info 407 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 2: John Coblt on The John Cobalt Show on kf I 408 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 2: AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. 409 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM sixty. 410 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 2: Blue Penrose in for John Cobalt on the John Cobalt Show. 411 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 6: Blue. 412 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: Everybody's getting a freaking chef nowadays. Tax money is paying 413 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: for every illegal drug addict, crooked politician. When do I 414 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 2: get a check? The guy paying the bill? When do 415 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 2: I get a check? Not the bill, I hear you. 416 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 2: But the good news is this is a one time deal, 417 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 2: and I get it. Incentivizing illegals to go home on 418 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 2: their own sounds right. It sounds wasteful of our tax dollars, 419 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: but it is a smart move. I mean, it's it's 420 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 2: much cheaper, and at the end of the day, it's 421 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 2: a one time deal. Just like this increased budget for 422 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 2: border patrol, it's a one time deal. Eventually we're not 423 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: gonna need anywhere near the amount of border patrol agents 424 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 2: that we are paying for, and that will be a 425 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: good thing. Like the border has been secured and now 426 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: it's staying secured. The only thing that can change that 427 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: is a Democrat. They're the only ones that will require 428 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 2: you and me to have to do this all over again. 429 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 2: So it's really important that we don't let this all 430 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: happen again. Remember President Trump and his administration is not 431 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 2: the welcome wagon. They are the cleanup crew, and that's 432 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 2: what we're doing here. But I appreciate the call. If 433 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: you're listening live, you can call us on the iHeartRadio 434 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 2: app using the top back mic when we come back 435 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 2: after the break. The no tax on tips is becoming 436 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: a reality, and that means that the Internal Revenue Service 437 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: are gonna have to work all this out. And it's 438 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 2: unclear exactly how this will all work, what the details 439 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 2: of it. According to the IRS dot gov website, it's 440 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 2: still pretty open ended, which is a good thing for 441 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 2: the tax payer, a little bit more challenging to the 442 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 2: tax collector. But between no tax on tips, no tax 443 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 2: on overtime, being able to deduct the interest payment on 444 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 2: your auto loan, these are all steps in the right direction. 445 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,479 Speaker 2: These are all very popular things, and I think the 446 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 2: President is in the right lane here, and that is, 447 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: do what we can to lower the tax burden on 448 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: the American people. Anywhere we can see an opportunity to 449 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 2: lower the tax burden and let the bureaucracy figure it out, 450 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 2: like let the agency figure it out, and I think 451 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 2: that's the right attitude. Let them come up with standards 452 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 2: and then we'll approve the standards or send them back 453 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: to the drawing board. But in the short term, let 454 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 2: the tax earner, or rather the wage earner, let them 455 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 2: lower their tax burden as much as possible. This is 456 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: the right lane for this president. Everybody's talking about what's 457 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 2: going to change, what will be the campaign messaging for 458 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 2: the midterm elections, the midterm elections of three hundred and 459 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: sixteen days away. And it's pretty clear to me the 460 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: things that work for Republicans who if they want to 461 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 2: hold on to the House of Representative Representatives is these 462 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 2: are the issues they need to stand on, and that 463 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 2: is lower the tax burden, reduce the size of government, 464 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 2: get the federal government as much as you can out 465 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: of people's lives forever, Like the complete elimination of certain 466 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: agencies is a popular thing. Only Democrats go crazy. Frankly, 467 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 2: this is a good litmus test anytime a Democrat goes 468 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 2: crazy on a proposal, it was the right proposal if 469 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 2: you want to get re elected as a Republican. And 470 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 2: the more maniacal they sound, the better you'll do in 471 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: the election if you're a Republican. So yeah, continue to 472 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: lower taxes, come up with thoughtful ideas on how to 473 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 2: lower taxes. That's number one. Number two, Continue to support 474 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: what's happening with respect to immigration control and interior enforcement. 475 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 2: Don't get scared. It's okay that illegals are being sent home. 476 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 2: Don't fall for this ridiculous plea for you to be compassionate. 477 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. Be compassionate for the American children who now 478 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: have more time with their first grade teacher. Be compassionate 479 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 2: for the American who lives in Los Angeles who will 480 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 2: see for rent signs instead of rent increase notices like 481 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: manage yourself. But the other thing, and I am worried 482 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 2: about this. I've seen this before, and I've seen Republicans 483 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 2: fall victim to this before. I worked for three members 484 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: of Congress and is a senior staff role and Republicans 485 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 2: get sideways on this whole healthcare debate. So we're about 486 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 2: to have another healthcare discussion, maybe another government shutdown because 487 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 2: the Affordable Care Act is not affordable without government subsidies. 488 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 2: POSTA have been by now, but it wasn't because it's 489 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 2: a stupid idea and it doesn't work. And now since 490 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 2: Republicans are in control in the House of Representatives, everybody 491 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 2: wants the Republicans to solve a Democrat bad idea. And 492 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 2: as a Republican, I'm here to tell you do not 493 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 2: get involved in this. You can't win. You cannot make 494 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 2: health care costs cheaper than a Democrat promised socialized system. 495 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 2: You can't, So stay out of it. When they ask you, 496 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: what are you going to do about these premiums going 497 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 2: up under Obamacare and all these Americans are going to 498 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 2: see their premiums increase, your answer should be talk to Obama. 499 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 2: Get the former president on TV, talk to him. I 500 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 2: find it very difficult to feel bad for somebody that 501 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,160 Speaker 2: supported the Affordable Care Act and is now watching their 502 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: premiums go up. Then work harder and buy yourself your 503 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 2: own insurance. I don't want to hear about it. Right 504 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 2: we were told that this was going to be the 505 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: best thing ever. And government is so good, and government 506 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 2: can run healthcare better than the private marketplace. And Republicans 507 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: are just greedy and they're in the pockets of the 508 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 2: insurance companies and that's why they don't want to give 509 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 2: you cheaper health care. But by golly, this Affordable Care Act, 510 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 2: this is what you need. And it was rammed through 511 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,000 Speaker 2: completely partisan. Everybody knew it wasn't gonna work. It was 512 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 2: a complete joke. And now it's like the chickens have 513 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: come home with the roost. Here's what the Republicans should do. Say, hey, 514 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 2: you Democrats, go talk to your friend Barack Obama, and 515 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: then you guys come up with some kind of patch 516 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: for the Affordable Care Act, and as long as it 517 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 2: doesn't increase the deficit by a dime, we'll consider it. 518 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 2: If not, stop asking us, you go to all the 519 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 2: people that you sold Obamacare to. And by the way, Speaker, 520 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: then Speaker Pelosi, she's still in Congress. Senator Dick Derripin, 521 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: he's still in Congress. They're all retiring. Now, that's interesting. 522 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: And the architect of the Affordable Care Act, then Senator 523 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 2: Barack Obama, they're all around, so ask them, but don't 524 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 2: lay the blame at our feet. I don't want to 525 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 2: hear it. So keep don't even engage in the debate 526 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: because you can't win because as capitalists we can't compete 527 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 2: with socialists, and we don't have to because socialism will 528 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:31,000 Speaker 2: fail every time it's tribe. But we know that government 529 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 2: can't do anything to decrease the premiums of Obamacare other 530 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 2: than to subsidize it with other taxpayers dollars, which is 531 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 2: what's happening now to make believe it's cheaper by using 532 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: other people's money. That's what a government subsidy is. So 533 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,360 Speaker 2: we can't All we can do is create conditions in 534 00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,240 Speaker 2: which the marketplace becomes so competitive that premium prices come 535 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 2: down on their own. But those priviian prices even down 536 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: in the best conditions of a competitive marketplace, and that's 537 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 2: what health insurance is. It's just a marketplace. Even in 538 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 2: the best conditions, it won't be cheaper than what's going 539 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 2: to be promised to a potential rate payer by a socialist. 540 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: So we'll never win that game, So stay away from 541 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 2: it altogether. That's my advice. So we'll see where this goes, 542 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 2: and again that'll be the story after the holidays, after Christmas, 543 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 2: after Santa Claus comes down the chimney, after everybody pops Champagne. 544 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,840 Speaker 2: The first order of business is going to be averting 545 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 2: yet another government shutdown over the exact same issue. So 546 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 2: we'll we'll have to sort that out. And as I said, 547 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 2: when we come back, we'll talk with Ben Siegel. Ben 548 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 2: Siegel from ABC News. He's the deputy political director over 549 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 2: at the White House. There's already a letter circulating amongst 550 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 2: Senators and this is bipartisan Republican, Democrat and Independent that 551 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 2: the IRS is going to need some help having to 552 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 2: figuring out how to deal with no tax on tips, 553 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 2: no tax on overtime, and all the other no tax 554 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 2: promises that were promised by President Obama and signed into 555 00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 2: law in the One Big, Beautiful Bill. So that's going 556 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 2: to be very interesting stuff and it's all coming up next. 557 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 2: Lou Penrose on KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on 558 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,479 Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio app. 559 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 1: Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. 560 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: You can always hear the show live on KFI AM 561 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,920 Speaker 1: six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday, 562 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,280 Speaker 1: and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
