1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four, and then

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the

5
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 2: iHeart app.

6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: We got so much to cover.

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 2: We'll do more on the big fallo up over the

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 2: weekend with the mayor Karen Bass, who for about thirty

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 2: hours wanted to open up Pacific Palisades to the looters.

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the kind of mare.

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: We have time to open up the palisades to the looters,

12
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: and then everybody in the palisades started screaming and she

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: reversed her decision.

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: We'll have more on that, including may.

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 2: Have discovered the reason why the insurance companies pulled out

16
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 2: months ago. They knew stuff that we only found out

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: in the last few weeks, like that reservoir. We'll tell

18
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: you more coming up. First, let's talk to Todd Bensman.

19
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: He is a journalist Center for Immigration Studies. He writes

20
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: for as Long As as well as many other publications.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: He's got a piece in The New York Post about

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 2: how finally, with the Trump administration in power, the spigot

23
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: of tax money is being turned off to these non

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: government organizations that take millions of dollars and they have

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: been funding the illegal alien migration all the way from

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: Colombia to the Mexican border. And let's get Todd benz

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: bon on, because he told us about this several times

28
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: late last year and early this year.

29
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: Todd, how are you.

30
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 3: I'm doing great, Thanks for having me.

31
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: Christy Nome is the new Department of Homeland Security secretary.

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: So what's her new policy? What did she announce?

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: Right? Well, the background of this quickly is that the

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: United Nations put together a partnership with about two hundred

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: and thirty non governmental organizations nonprofits to set up all

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: along the migration trails out of the border the last

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: four years and spend hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars,

38
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 3: billions of dollars US taxpayer dollars handing out goods and

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: cash and supply and paying for transportation and shelter and

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 3: lodging and everything for millions of immigrants to rush our border.

41
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: And that's been going on for years now, six billion

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 3: dollars at.

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: Least spent on billion American tax money.

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: Yes, I've I've been writing about this for years now,

45
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: and finally the Trump administration just shut the fire hose down,

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: turned off the water, shut the spigots up, and have

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: ended all funding. They say, not one more dime to

48
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: any of those NGOs. They're not named yet. I'm not

49
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 3: sure exactly how extensive it is. But also I'm hearing

50
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: that they have shut off all of the money to

51
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: the United Nations agencies that were down there as well, UNHCRILM.

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: I mean, this is really monumental because they all of

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: those groups were together planning to spend one point four

54
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: billion more dollars in twenty twenty five to keep it

55
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 3: to keep the pressure on the Trump border, and then

56
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 3: another one point two billion for twenty twenty six. Now

57
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: it looks like they'll get none of it or very

58
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: little of it. Yeah, we funded a mass migration crisis.

59
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: That's outrageous, sir, what we paid for all this, and

60
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: now we've been dealing with all this chaos and crime

61
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: ever since.

62
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did it to ourselves in lots of ways,

63
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: you know, by policy, and then you know, the UN

64
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: and all of these organizations absolutely bloated themselves on our money.

65
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: I mean, historic record smashing amounts of cash just showering

66
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: all along the migration trails in a series of aid stations.

67
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 3: And I've been to a whole bunch of them from

68
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: you know, in Colombia and Panama and Costa Rica and

69
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: all over Mexico, and I've watched them dole out the

70
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 3: cash and the credit cards and you know, the supply,

71
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: but they give it while they're doing it.

72
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: Do they give money or credit cards directly to the

73
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: migrants or is.

74
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: This cash in envelopes, cash in envelopes to the migrants. Yes.

75
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 3: And debit cards cash debit cards, debit cardsrange debit cards. Yes.

76
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: I've got photos and video and they're proud about it.

77
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: They call it cash based assistance, cash based, cash based initiative.

78
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 3: You could look it up. It's all online. They're very

79
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: proud of it. It's it's essential. They were going to spend.

80
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 3: They proposed spending two hundred and sixty million dollars just

81
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 3: this year in cash credit cards just this year. Last

82
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 3: year they did three hundred and fifty million dollars cash

83
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: credit cards.

84
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 2: Was was this something the Biden administration had the ability

85
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 2: to do on its own, or was this buried in

86
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: a spending bill that passed Congress.

87
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: No, they did it on their own, knowingly and wittingly.

88
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: This is State department money. A lot of it is.

89
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: You know, these these organizations also take private donations. So

90
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: it's not one hundred percent, but it's just the majority

91
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: of it as US taxpayer funded. It's grant State department

92
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 3: grants in us AID. You know, USAIDA is in the

93
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: news right now because Elon Musk is busy seizing control

94
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: of it and shutting down a lot of its operations. Well,

95
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: USAID money was very, very instrumental in all of this.

96
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: These grants went straight to these NGOs, and I think

97
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 3: that may have something for people.

98
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: Who don't people who don't.

99
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: USAID was in charge of dolling out billions and billions

100
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: of dollars to foreign countries. It's been around since I

101
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: think the late seventies, and I think it's budget was

102
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: over forty billion dollars last year. And now Trump and

103
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: Musk have shut it down completely and Musk said it

104
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: was a criminal organization.

105
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. And so all of this, you know,

106
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: the cash flow looks like it's been stopped or is

107
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 3: in the process of being stopped, to you know, sort

108
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 3: of try to set things right down there. I mean,

109
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: if you're trying to close the border, you definitely don't

110
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: want a lot of pressure on it by maintaining and

111
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: sustaining the migrants who are still down there. You want

112
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: them to go home, turn around and go home. You

113
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: don't want to, you know, keep supporting them on the

114
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: trail so that they can maybe induce a failure at

115
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 3: the American border. But right now, you know, the US

116
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: border is pretty well closed and sutured shut. I mean,

117
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: maybe five hundred a day border length are coming over

118
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 3: and we haven't seen numbers that low in decades. I mean,

119
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: the numbers are incredibly low and dropping all the time

120
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: because of the policies that Trump put in place. Now,

121
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: it took all of about an hour to do that.

122
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: You know, remember they were all during the campaign, they

123
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: were saying, Wow, we need this big Senate bill and

124
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: comprehensive immigration reform with legislation and all this stud They

125
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 3: needed about thirty minutes to shut the whole thing down.

126
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Now that was all. That was all a farce.

127
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: Everybody was criticizing Trump because he was blocking the Republicans

128
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,239
Speaker 2: from passing some kind of compromise bill because he knew

129
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: he could shut it down in a half an hour

130
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: with an executive order, and he knew that Biden could

131
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: have done it too.

132
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 3: Biden could have done it at any point had he

133
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: wanted to. He also could have had Mexico helping down

134
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 3: there as well. Like Trump just you know, forced the

135
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: Mexicans to put another ten thousand troops out by threatening

136
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: trade tariffs, and now they put another ten thousand to

137
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: add to the thirty five hundred that they already had

138
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: out there, who were very effective at turning migrants away

139
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 3: from our border and shipping back down south for quite

140
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: a while now. So between what the Mexicans are doing

141
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: and what Trump has done already, the numbers coming into

142
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 3: the country have you know, all but there, it's just almost,

143
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: you know, meaningless how many are coming now.

144
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, Jo, it's just just a few hundred. That's

145
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: next to nothing. Todd, what I mean, you've been covering

146
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: this for so long. What a wild turn of events, huh,

147
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: in a very short.

148
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 3: I never thought I never thought i'd see it happen.

149
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 3: And I think the UN and all those two hundred

150
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: and thirtyngos down there by the way, I mean, I

151
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: think they were they were counting on a Harris win

152
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: because they did this budget for twenty twenty five six.

153
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: But that's the thing.

154
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: If she had won, they would it would be wide open,

155
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 2: and they'd still be sho shuttling us the same old

156
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 2: horse manure about why you know, we need some kind.

157
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: Of comprehensive bill pass to solve this. They never needed it.

158
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: It was total smoke.

159
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: They just needed a wave of the wand from the Whitehouse.

160
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: That's it. Stop this, you know, that's all they needed.

161
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: Very simple.

162
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing, Todd. Thank you for coming on again.

163
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Good luck with

164
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: the demonstrations out there.

165
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right after we spend all the money chauffeurring

166
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 2: them across the border. Now that they're here, they're in

167
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 2: the streets screaming that we're all bad people. Todd Benson,

168
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,599
Speaker 2: all right, from I know, we'll talk again. Center for

169
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: Immigration Studi's got a piece of the New York Post

170
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: about all this.

171
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: I've got to take a break up.

172
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on Demand from KFI Am

173
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 4: six forty.

174
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 2: We continue now with Oh my god, did you believe

175
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: that Todd Bensman thing? We just Ted Todd Benzman, and

176
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 2: he's the journalist who's been covering the border for years

177
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: for the Center for Immigration Studies and other publications. Your

178
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: tax money, your tax money has been spent six billion

179
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: dollars in the last four years to finance the illegal

180
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: alien migration from Columbia to the Mexico US border. There's

181
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: two hundred and thirty of these NGOs. These are non

182
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: government organizations. That's the bureaucrats speak their nonprofits. So the

183
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 2: fake nonprofits that have infected all the levels of government,

184
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: and they're they're designed to blow tax money. They were

185
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: handing out cash and debit cards to the illegal aliens.

186
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: In addition to the employees of these nonprofits profiting themselves,

187
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: paying themselves big salaries, and also fifteen un agencies. And

188
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: this was our tax money. We were paying for the chaos.

189
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: And then they come here and because Trump wants to

190
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: deport them. Now they're they're carrying on in the streets

191
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: and they heard the traffic report. They're they're shutting down

192
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: traffic on on surface streets in downtown. Yesterday they shut

193
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 2: down the one oh one two days in a row

194
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: and l APD lets them, which means Karen bass is

195
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: letting them.

196
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: The way.

197
00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: Karen Bass didn't bother to put together a fire plan

198
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 2: in anticipation of the Santa Na wins, she went off

199
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: to Africa instead.

200
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: Now the orders are.

201
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 2: For LAPD to let these people run them up, blocking traffic,

202
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: ruining everybody's commute. And they're not even citizens. They're waving

203
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: Mexican and El Salvadoran flags.

204
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: This is the mayor we have, this is the city

205
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: government we have.

206
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 2: Listen to this story from Anthony Cabasa. He's an independent journalist.

207
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: He posted this online. He was there last night because

208
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: they allowed the protesters to block city streets till ten

209
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: at night, all waving Mexican flags.

210
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: And finally the officers.

211
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: At tenant night started pushing the crowd back from an intersection.

212
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: They issued a one minute order to disband, and according

213
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: to Cabasa, just as the officers were about to make

214
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 2: an arrest, all the police officers just left. He wrote,

215
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like this. Hundreds of police with

216
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: zip ties and all of them have just left, no arrests.

217
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: Protesters shout in victory as police leave the area. Protesters

218
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: celebrating as they as the surrendering officers drove from the

219
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: scene and then they came back for more. Accorney to

220
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: Bill Mlusian Fox News, the LAPD rank and file officers

221
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: were not happy at that about this apparent standdown order.

222
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: Where's Jim McDonald? I thought he was supposed to be

223
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: the competent chief. This has got to be a bass order?

224
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: Wait?

225
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: What is best? What was best? Some kind of anarchist.

226
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: Wiped out the palisades with zero preparation for the fire.

227
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: And now pulls the police at the last minute.

228
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: Millusion wrote, He's hearing that LAPD rank and file who

229
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: were down there are not happy about this stand doown order.

230
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 2: Same old crap, chasing these guys around all day for nothing.

231
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: What's going on? It's total anarchy. I'm looking at video

232
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: and all from yesterday where they blocked the one to

233
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: one freeway. They're all over the overpass, They're all over

234
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: the freeway in both directions. All I see are Mexican

235
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: flags everywhere, Honduran flags, Salvadoran flags.

236
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: What what? What is going on here? This is Karen

237
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: Bassi's Los Angeles.

238
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: The west is burning, The downtown is completely overwhelmed with

239
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: waw breaking illegal aliens.

240
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: The cops are overstretched as it is.

241
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: Because they can't they can't keep the looters out of

242
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: the Palisades.

243
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: And that's what we'll talk about next.

244
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: She spent the weekend going back and forth whether she

245
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 2: should open the Palisades wide to the looters. I don't

246
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: understand this. I don't know how much everyone's going to

247
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: put up with. Oh, and I got to tell you

248
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: about what we also learned earlier in the show that

249
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: the insurance companies knew that the reservoirs were empty in

250
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: the Palisades, and that was one of the big reasons

251
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: they were pulling their insurance policies in the last year,

252
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: because they knew that the Palisades was indefensible. Two things.

253
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: The reservoirs were empty, and they could see that the

254
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: brush wasn't cleared.

255
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: They you just run drones and you could see the.

256
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: Brush is built up, and none of the governments is

257
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: clearing the brush, and none of them is filling the reservoirs.

258
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 2: In case you wonder why you're not insured for that

259
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: fire that ain't up your house. Another Karen Bass production.

260
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: This is great, these are great times you're living in.

261
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: We'll tell you more and we come back.

262
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI AM

263
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 4: six forty.

264
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four, and then

265
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: after four o'clock John Cobelt's Show on demand on the

266
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 2: iHeart apps. It's been an astonishing month. It's an astonishing

267
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: just last three days here in Los Angeles because Karen Bass,

268
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: sometime on Friday night decided that it would be a

269
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: really good idea to issue a new order, and that

270
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: was to get rid of the checkpoints leading into Pacific Palisades.

271
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 2: And the reaction from every one in the Palisades was

272
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 2: are you effing crazy? I mean, people went nuts, And

273
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: within a day she changed her mind. Now think about this.

274
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: There are hundreds, if not thousands of looters loosen the city.

275
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 2: There are, and they were on my block when we

276
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: were in an evacuation warning zone and they shut off

277
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: the power, and the dunces that run this city they

278
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: shut off the power, but they didn't send the police

279
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: in our neighborhood to ward off the looters. Hence we

280
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: got loaders seven seven robberies on my block, one block.

281
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: Seven of them.

282
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: Because they shut the power. They told people they ought

283
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 2: to evacuate. It wasn't mandatory, but a lot of people

284
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: left because there's no power. So here come the looters.

285
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: Now the palisades sitting there in ruins. Some homes still exist,

286
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: some homes are damaged. There's plenty of stuff to steal.

287
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: Even on some of the burned out lots, there might

288
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: be a few trinkets. So of course the looters are

289
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 2: going to come in within five minutes. There's no power,

290
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: there are no lights there, So how the hell is

291
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: she a crazy person? And Friday night she wants to

292
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: open up? Why so she could say la strong, la strong.

293
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: Look how quickly we bounced back. Well, nobody, nobody in

294
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 2: public agreed with that. Tracy Park, Steve sobroff Rick Caruso

295
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: all publicly criticized it in very polite terms. Really, somebody

296
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: has the guts to say, somebody's got to stand up

297
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 2: and say she's got to go. I mean, I was

298
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: just looking up online actually during the commercial break, and

299
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: there's no way to fire her. You can do a recall,

300
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 2: and I hope there is a recall, but that's going

301
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 2: to take a number of months. But I thought maybe

302
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: maybe there's some kind of executive authority the governor would

303
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: have see I think Newsom might do that just to

304
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: separate himself from a bass because all he cares about

305
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 2: is becoming president. So he's got to he's got to

306
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: be some kind of hero to La. Well, she's not

307
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: gonna leave on her own, and she she has to.

308
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 2: Look what she's doing now. Look what she's doing now

309
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 2: with these with these illegal alien marches.

310
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: She's letting them march.

311
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 2: She pulled off the cops at the last minute, ten

312
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: o'clock at night. You got thousands of illegal aliens protesting

313
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: and making a ruckus, waving, waving their Mexican flags. I mean,

314
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 2: they're here illegally, and they further break the law by

315
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: disrupting the traffic. Look what they're doing on the one

316
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: to one again today. Look what they're doing downtown at

317
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: the Crypto Arena. You hear the traffic reports. So it's

318
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 2: chaos on the east side, chaos on the west side.

319
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 2: She wanted to get rid of the National Guard in

320
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: the Palisades. Newsom said no, no, no, don't do that,

321
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: because he knows what's coming next.

322
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: They'll take everything. Why would you do that? Why would

323
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: she do that? What's wrong with her?

324
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: She suffered a month of brutal, justified criticism and then

325
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: she doubles down by wanting to withdraw the National Guard

326
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 2: and open up the Palisades in the dark. How did

327
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 2: she even think of that? How did she even think

328
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 2: of that, let alone act on it.

329
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: That's so nuts.

330
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: And then earlier we had one of our sales managers

331
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 2: on who lost his house in the Palisades, and he said,

332
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: what he's hearing is, here's why the insurance companies canceled

333
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 2: their policies or refused to renew the policies in the

334
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: Palisades last year, and a lot of people were left

335
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 2: with no insurance.

336
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: You know why. They knew the reservoirs were empty.

337
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: They knew that one hundred and seventeen million gallon reservoir

338
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 2: was empty. So when you hear any of these knob

339
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: heads in governments, I remember that wasn't made a difference.

340
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it would have made a huge difference. That's

341
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 2: why the insurance companies didn't want to ensure the place anymore.

342
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: They also knew that the brush was wildly overgrown, really thick,

343
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 2: after two years where the heavy rains, extremely dry after

344
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,239
Speaker 2: eight months of a lack of rain. Not sure eight

345
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 2: months qualifies as a drought in California, but there was

346
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: no rain, so there was.

347
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of flammable material.

348
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: Well, the insurance companies, all you got to do is

349
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: fly a drone overhead and you can see that as wow, wow,

350
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 2: a lot of extremely dry brush and ooh, no water

351
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: in the reservoirs. What do you know, what if they

352
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 2: tested out the hydrants and saw those weren't working? Now,

353
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: how does how do the insurance company nerds know this?

354
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 2: But Karen Bess doesn't know this or Kristin Crowley? How

355
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: is this possible? And then here come the illegal alien

356
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: protesters who know that the police can't show up in

357
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 2: any great numbers. They are tied down in the palisades,

358
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 2: but we send some cops in and the cops finally

359
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: at ten o'clock last night, are told, all right, arrest

360
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 2: these characters. They got zip tizes, they're ready to go,

361
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: and then at the last second they're pulled off. They're

362
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: pulled back. And according to Fox News and other independent journalists,

363
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: the police are really pissed last night. Why because we

364
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 2: have a crazy person running running things. She's cout telling,

365
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: she's count telling illegal alien protesters, and she was about

366
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: to open the doors wide open to looters in the palisades.

367
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: We can't do anything about this. We're trapped. We're trapped

368
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 2: with this because this is really dangerous. Okay, this is

369
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 2: not a political disagreement. This is emergency danger. Are we

370
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: gonna get hundreds or thousands of crazed protesters every night

371
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: until they whip themselves up into violence? You know that's coming.

372
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: You know rioting is coming next because Trump is going

373
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 2: to keep deporting and they're gonna get more and more pissed.

374
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: They're gonna they're impotent. Can't take on the federal government.

375
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: Federal government's gonna win. I don't I don't know what

376
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 2: should what should people do? What should normal people do?

377
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: We have uh, a hapless, helpless, inept in over her

378
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 2: head member of this, this progressive religious cult abandoned, abandoned

379
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: the sea and went overseas. There was even five minutes

380
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 2: of preparation done to prepare for the emergency warnings that

381
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: the Weather Service had put out. Yeah, just go through

382
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: this this his nuts? Did they know that the reservoir

383
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: was empty? Well, are they trying to kill us? Why

384
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: did you just ask us to leave? Maybe some of

385
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 2: us will? You don't have to try to kill us. Hey,

386
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: if you want to turn this over to all the uh,

387
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: to all the migrants, just let us know. Wow, I've

388
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 2: seen a lot. I've never seen this. I've never seen

389
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 2: this kind of like unbelievable aggressive incompetence, pulls the police

390
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 2: off to stop them from arresting all these crazy protesters,

391
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: and wants to pull the police out of the palisades,

392
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: out of the checkpoints. Wow, hey, keep voting who you're

393
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: voting for. This is working out really well.

394
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

395
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: Meantime, the guy who should be mayor, Rick Caruso. Uh,

396
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: he announced what his nonprofit foundation is going to be

397
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 2: doing to try to quicken the rebuild. I'll tell you

398
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: about that when we come back. Because this is what

399
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: this is what he should be mayor. This is this

400
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 2: is what city leaders ought to be doing instead of

401
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 2: indulging with the with the the idiot illegal alien protesters.

402
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 2: They You notice he hasn't spoken about anything out loud.

403
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 2: Neither's Kristin Crowley.

404
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: Nothing.

405
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 2: Nobody nobody's acknowledging all the mistakes, all the lack of preparation,

406
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: all the incompetence. Do more coming up.

407
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on Demand from KFI AM sixty.

408
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: Conway's coming up in just minutes.

409
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 2: We should spend a few minutes on somebody who's going

410
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 2: to try to pull LA out of this quagmire. Rick Caruso,

411
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: he's launched this new foundation. It's a nonprofit foundation to

412
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: help rebuild. He has gotten together the top engineering and

413
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: technology companies and the foundation is called Steadfast LA and

414
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: has gotten people. You wouldn't know these people, but I

415
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: just want to mention the companies they're with. Andy Cohen,

416
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 2: a co chair of an architecture and design company called Gensler,

417
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 2: Carrie Smith, president and chief executive of an infrastructure engineering company,

418
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 2: Parsons the Netflix CEO, and his wife Palainteer, co founder

419
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: Joe Lonsdale.

420
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: It's a software company.

421
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: Executives from banking, insurance, real estate, and private equity, and

422
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: they're going to take on the Palisades, Altadena, Malibu, Pasadena.

423
00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: They're going to find who knows what about innovatives. And

424
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: he called the scale of the reconstruction way too big

425
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 2: for the government alone. Not to mention the head of

426
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 2: the LA government. And they're going to use, for example,

427
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 2: the inspiration model of the operation Warp Speed that remember

428
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 2: we got that vaccine done in a year. Also the

429
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 2: rebuilding of Lower Manhattan after nine to eleven. It's the

430
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: public private partnerships, getting private companies to work with the

431
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: government and not just have the government do this. And

432
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: he says, I want to bring together some of the

433
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 2: smartest people in different fields, smartest people, and literally roll

434
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 2: up our sleeves, get our hands dirty, and we want

435
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 2: to say, if it's going to take three years, how

436
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: can we get things moving in a year. If we

437
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 2: think it's going to be a year, how do we

438
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 2: get things moving in six months. The foundation is funded

439
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 2: solely by Caruso. He's going to pour millions of dollars

440
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: into it. None of the companies or executives who act

441
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: as advisors will be compensated.

442
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: And if outside.

443
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 2: Donors want to give, he and his team will pair

444
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: them up with schools or churches or others in need.

445
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: And this is.

446
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: These are the kind of people we need to be

447
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: running the city and to be running the federal government.

448
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: Conway coming up.

449
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 5: Hey, now, hey there, all right, So here's what we

450
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 5: got going on. We've got a huge protest downtown last

451
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 5: night or yesterday all day and people protesting, you know,

452
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 5: to try to keep as many people in this country

453
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 5: as possible. Got a couple of thoughts on how they could,

454
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 5: you know, reshape that protest to be more effective. We'll

455
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 5: let bang those out. Plus at one point they were

456
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 5: burning an American flag. They put a flag down, then

457
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 5: they put lighter fluid on it and threw a match

458
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 5: at it. And I'm thinking to myself, that's a good

459
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 5: way to make friends. But who's burning stuff in LA?

460
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 5: After these three weeks? You know who's starting that kind

461
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 5: of fire? Got al mighty? Doesn't doesn't anybody watch the news?

462
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: No fires?

463
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 5: We're done with fire unker Harold small or how big?

464
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 5: We gotta limit that. Then we also have obviously, do

465
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 5: we have to say when we're talking about the big game,

466
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 5: if we're just talking about on the radio, do we

467
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,880
