1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 2: We have Carl Demayo coming out in just a moment. 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 2: He's the San Diego Republican Assemblyman and he is leading 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: the fight against Governor Newsom's wacky redistricting idea. I just 6 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 2: want to mention that as we speak, if you're listening 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 2: to this live, Trump and Vladimir Putin are meeting in Alaska. 8 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: Their meeting just began a short time ago, and they're 9 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: an Anchorage, Alaska at the Joint Base elmadorf Richardson. And 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 2: after they walking off the plane, a B two bomber, 11 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 2: an American B two bomber flew right over their heads. 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: And I guess that's normal protocol. Or at first I 13 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 2: thought it was a message. It was Trumps just reminding Putin. 14 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: It's like, look what we got over here. Anyway, if 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: they get if the talks don't go well and they 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: get any with each other, both of them have the 17 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 2: nuclear codes with them, right, they're carrying the nuclear code bags. 18 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 2: So if they should start firing missiles at each other's countries, 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,320 Speaker 2: KFI News will be there and we will narrate for 20 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: you the end of the world. Michael Munty, in fact, 21 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: is right on top of it in the newsroom there. 22 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: And Michael, that's true. Right, if they start firing nuclear missiles, 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 2: you're you're there. 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: I think we'll do the best we can to cover that. Okay. 25 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 2: I imagine LA would be near the top of the 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: list here on the West coast, So I. 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: Think there's some residents here who would welcome that. By 28 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: the way, why do I have you today? What's happened? 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: Well, your lady friend is on a long vacation and uh, 30 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 3: you know, Brigeta couldn't do all the time because she 31 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: works on the weekend. So I'm the guy they call 32 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 3: when literally everyone else says no, wow, I noticed the 33 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: hallways are empty. It's like you got snagged because there 34 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 3: was no other choice. It was Yeah, it was not 35 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: a lot of choices here. 36 00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: Well, happy to have you here, hey, glad to be 37 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: We're gonna have Carl on now, Carl DeMaio, the Republican 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: assemblymen from San Diego. Yesterday, Newsom did his silly pep 39 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 2: rally press conference announcing that he wants to redraw the 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: congressional district lines now so that the Democrats could end 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: up with maybe a forty nine to three advantage here 42 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:28,119 Speaker 2: in California. And you know which, which violates the law 43 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: as we know it, because we have an independent commission 44 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: that the public passed in a referendum sixty one percent 45 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: of the vote to have an outside independent group do this. 46 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: Although I'll in a few minutes question just how independent 47 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 2: they are. Let's think at carl. 48 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 4: On, Hey, John, how are you doing. 49 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm doing all right. 50 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: What was your reaction to his big PEP rally yesterday? 51 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 4: Gavin Newsom is pretty incompetent as a governor. You can 52 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 4: see all the failures that he has produced out here. 53 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 4: But the one thing that he's very good at he 54 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: is a very very capable liar. He's a very capable liar, 55 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 4: and boy, he just laid it on thick yesterday saying 56 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 4: that he's defending deympocracy and the reality is this, he 57 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 4: is destroying any notion of fairness in our elections because 58 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: he's allowing politicians, he's giving them back the power to 59 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 4: manipulate the lines of districts, which means politicians get to 60 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 4: choose the voters versus voters choosing politicians and What is 61 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 4: truly insane about this and really offensive is the fact 62 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: that he's telling all these Democrats, if you hate Donald Trump, 63 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 4: and if you hate Donald Trump because he destroys democracy, 64 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: then give the politicians back the power to manipulate the lines. 65 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 4: They have always wanted the power back to do Jerry 66 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: Mandarin in California. They've never wanted the Redistricting Commission to 67 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: be independent and nonpartisan, and so they've been lying in 68 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 4: wait for exactly this moment where they can capitalize on 69 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 4: some voters hating Donald Trump to get them to give 70 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 4: the power back to the politicians. And of course they 71 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 4: have a very misleading ballot title that they've slapped on 72 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 4: this initiative that makes it appear as though what they're 73 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 4: doing is saving the independent Redistricting Commission and upholding it. 74 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 4: So all sorts of dishonesty. But look, John, I still 75 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: believe we're going to win this. We're going to win 76 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 4: this because the voters are on our side. They don't 77 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 4: want politicians manipulating lines. They want it done by the 78 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,679 Speaker 4: independent Citizens Commission, and they want it based upon non 79 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 4: partisan criteria like geography, community ties, minority voting rights. They 80 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: do not want it based on partisanship and personal political 81 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 4: benefit to these politicians. So I believe we can win. 82 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 4: We just have a very intense campaign that we're going 83 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: to be gearing up for for November fourth, and we 84 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 4: need everyone to join at Reform California dot org. That's 85 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 4: the website, Reform California dot org, and we'll be kicking 86 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 4: off the campaign in a matter of days. 87 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: Are you heartened at all by that political poll that 88 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: came out yesterday which showed that Newsom's idea has very 89 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,239 Speaker 2: little support? 90 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: Or do you not trust it? Or should you not 91 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: trust it? 92 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 4: No? No, no, no. I think that poll is accurate in that 93 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 4: it shows that two thirds of California voters want to 94 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 4: keep the redistricting independent Redistricting Commission along nonpartisan lines for 95 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 4: fair elections, and only a third are okay with you know, 96 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 4: giving politicians back the power to combat Trump. If you 97 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 4: take Trump out of the equation, it's actually eighty twenty. Okay. 98 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 4: But here's the problem. Remember that misleading ballot title. Newsom 99 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 4: is literally going to lie to voters with the ballot title, 100 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 4: and I don't think he's going to get away with it. 101 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 4: But it's up to us to make sure that voters 102 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 4: are given the truth, and when they know the truths, 103 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 4: when they hear the truth, voters are angry when they're 104 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 4: lied to, and they vote no just out of spite. 105 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 4: And so I believe that the polling is correct. The 106 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 4: voters don't want this, but the ballot is deceptive, so 107 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: that we still have a very tough campaign to run, 108 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 4: and we're going to run that tough campaign and we're 109 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 4: going to win. 110 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: Can you hang on? 111 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 2: I want to talk more about this with you, all right, yes, 112 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 2: all right. Carl Demayo, he's the Republican assemblyman from San 113 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: Diego leading the charge against Newsom's redistricting idea. That will 114 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 2: be next with Carl, and we have Michael Monks on 115 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: the nuclear missile debt. You're on Nuke Watch. 116 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A 117 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 5: six forty and moistline. 118 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: Today. 119 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 2: We'll have it twice in the three o'clock hour, three 120 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: twenty and three fifty. Let's continue with Carl Demayo, the 121 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 2: Republican assemblyman from the San Diego area who through reform California. 122 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 2: Let me let me get this right, uh, Carl, you there, 123 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: reformer California dot com. 124 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 4: Dot org a California dot org. I know it's the 125 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 4: ground zero for not only the fight against Gavin Newsom's illegal, 126 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 4: corrupt redistricting scheme, but it's also California Voter ID, and 127 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 4: these two issues are pretty much the same issue. On 128 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 4: our side, we want voter I D to improve the 129 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 4: fairness of elections. On newsom side, he's threatening this illegal, 130 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 4: politician driven Jerrymander district to basically eliminate fair districts. And 131 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 4: so if you want fair elections in California, whether you're 132 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: a Democrat or Republican or anywhere in between, we need 133 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 4: you to vote no on Newsom's redistricting scheme. We need 134 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 4: you to sign the voter ID petition. The way you 135 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 4: get involved go to the website Reform California dot org. 136 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: One question that lingers in my mind, and I imagine 137 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: some of the listeners too if this and I love 138 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: having an independent commission rather than whatever Newsoms can cock. 139 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: But why is it still up forty three to nine 140 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: in favor of Democrats for congressional seats. 141 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 4: Well, it's because Republicans have not really been an effective 142 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: opposition party in California for twenty years and they did 143 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 4: not even bother putting forward commissioners, and they did not 144 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: bother even showing up for public testimony. So the problem, 145 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: what do you. 146 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: Mean they didn't bother the commission. 147 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: Nobody, no member of the party, no officeholders, showed up 148 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 2: at the commission. Nobody went there to make an argument 149 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: and submit their own map. 150 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: Are you serious? 151 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: That's correct? They basically these people are incompetent, They don't 152 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: work hard, and so I don't fault the process. The 153 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 4: process is correct in the constitution. What the voters did, 154 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 4: and this is something I supported in twenty ten, is 155 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 4: they said, take the power from the politicians, give it 156 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 4: to an independent citizens redistricting commission. Have the commissioners, you know, 157 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 4: apply from across the state, and then randomly select them 158 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 4: and then have public testimony in every part of the 159 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 4: state where maps can only be drawn in the public 160 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 4: light of day. They can't draw maps, they can't discuss 161 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 4: it behind closed doors. And finally make sure that they 162 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: draw it based upon communities of interest, geography, nonpartisan criteria. 163 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 4: And so the maps are not the greatest maps from 164 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: my perspective, but the process did not fail. The process 165 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 4: is the correct process. Which is keep the politicians out 166 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 4: of it. And what you're seeing right now is, yeah, 167 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 4: the maps could get a whole lot worse by having 168 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 4: politicians manipulate them based on raw political gain. And that's 169 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,200 Speaker 4: what you're seeing with what Gavenusum is trying to do. 170 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: He has to do this very quickly, right within a 171 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 2: matter of days, right by the end of next week. 172 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: I think, So, how's he going to pull this off? 173 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: What's the process that we're going to be able to 174 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 2: watch next week in the legislature. 175 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: He tries to ram this through. 176 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: Basically between some time between now and when they vote 177 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 4: next week, we don't know when they will reveal their 178 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 4: corrupt bargain, their map that the special interests have been 179 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 4: concocting behind closed doors, that politicians have literally been caught 180 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 4: trading votes. I know three politicians who basically have actively 181 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,959 Speaker 4: been involved in tailoring the district that they want to 182 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 4: run for Congress, and I'm going to name names, Mike McGuire, 183 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 4: Senator McGuire, Senator Ashby, and a SAMI member jazz meaet Baines. 184 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: They all are wanting to run for Congress and so 185 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 4: in exchange for their support, their vote next week, they're 186 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 4: getting congressional districts. 187 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 2: Sound nice. 188 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 4: This is corrupt. It's stinks to high heaven. So we're 189 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 4: going to see a map at some point, and then 190 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 4: of course they'll they'll vote, and they'll have the votes. 191 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 4: We're going to sue next week. We've already put them 192 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 4: on warning that what they're doing is patent lee illegal. 193 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 4: It's in violation of the state constitution in federal law. 194 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 4: But I do believe we're going to be headed for 195 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 4: an election. The lawsuits will probably have to be addressed 196 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 4: after the election if Newsom wins, But I think the 197 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 4: cleanest way to stop this is to beat Newsom. And 198 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: when we beat Newsome in November, it's going to have 199 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 4: two beneficial outcomes. Number One, we're going to stop the 200 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: rigging of the elections with his map. But number two, 201 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 4: we're going to end his political career. He will not 202 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 4: be able to go run for president if he can't 203 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 4: even win a statewide election in California, as blue as 204 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: it is, this is going to be a humiliating defeat 205 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: for him. And he was so richly deserved for someone 206 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 4: who has been so corrupt and engaged in so much 207 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 4: abuse of power. 208 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: Okay, so if you're all right in his political careers 209 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 2: presidential ambitions depend on this, why would he launch the 210 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 2: campaign a few hours after finding out it's losing sixty 211 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: four to thirty six out of the gate. 212 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 4: I mean he's gonna takens arrogance. No, no, I believe me. 213 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 4: They they believe that, you know, they've always won in California, 214 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 4: and so they feel that it's just going to happen. 215 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 4: And I'm hearing from Democrats who you have said to me, 216 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 4: I don't think this is a slam dunk. I think 217 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: we might lose it. And I said, actually, if we 218 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 4: do our job, if we actually you know, get our 219 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 4: act together on the Republican side, if independents and Democrats 220 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 4: join us, and I believe they will, I believe that 221 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 4: this thing will be defeated, that truth will win out, 222 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: that citizens will retain the power, not the politicians. And 223 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 4: so we just have to suit up and fight, and 224 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 4: we need everyone off the sidelines. If, well, Carl, you 225 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: can't win in California, you don't know that We've never 226 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: really had a real fight in California on our side 227 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: for about twenty five years. So you know, stop being 228 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 4: a naysayer, get off the couch, get in the fight, 229 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 4: and they need to go to the website Reform California 230 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 4: dot org. 231 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 2: Reform California dot org. Are you going to have the 232 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: money for the campaign, because he will. 233 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's gonna have the money. We've been doing a 234 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 4: lot of advanced fundraising for California voter ID, and what 235 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 4: I'm now doing is creating a buy one, get one 236 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 4: free campaign, so that what we're doing is not only 237 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 4: collecting signatures on voter ID in the next three months, 238 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 4: but we're also going to be educating voters to vote 239 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,359 Speaker 4: no on Gavin Newsom's redissearching scheme with the same expenditures. 240 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 4: And so first, as we're stretching the dollar. Second, I 241 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 4: do believe we're gonna have coalition groups come and spend 242 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 4: money in California to get the word out. And so 243 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 4: I do believe that they're gonna have more money than 244 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: we have. They're gonna have the liberal media, they're gonna 245 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 4: have all these extra advantages. But we don't have to 246 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 4: beat them at the money game. We just have enough 247 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 4: gas in the tank to get the message out and 248 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 4: I think we'll. 249 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: Be able to do it. 250 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 2: I would think you would have some national Republican money 251 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 2: in the mix here, right, because it could be five 252 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: or six Republican seats that gets lost in the House 253 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: for Trump. 254 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know that whatever motivates them, if it's like, oh, well, 255 00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: we want to win Republican seats. At the end of 256 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 4: the day, I am interested in fair districts. Yes, I'm 257 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 4: a Republican, Yes I support Republicans. But the principle here 258 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 4: should be no matter whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, 259 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 4: or anywhere in between, that at least we should have 260 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 4: a fair map, a fair district structure that's not based 261 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 4: on partisanship. We shouldn't have a predetermined outcome because the 262 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 4: politicians manipulated the maps. But that's what we're going to 263 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 4: get if Newsom gets his way. 264 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 2: All right, Carl, damayah. We'll talk again soon. I'm sure 265 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: over this in the next few months. Thank you, Thank you, 266 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: And we have Michael Monks. Nothing's happened yet between Trump 267 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: and Putin. 268 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 269 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 5: six forty. 270 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 2: We are continuing to watch the Putin Trump meeting in Anchorage, Alaska. 271 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 2: Trump trying to convince Putin to stop slaughtering Ukrainians. Doesn't 272 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 2: seem like put at this point has any interest in that. 273 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 2: And Trump has very little patience. So you never know. 274 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 2: I don't want to hype things, but do you think 275 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 2: there's zero chance that they get really mad at each 276 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 2: other and pull out their nuclear code bags and start 277 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: start firing things. 278 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: Zero chance? So we'll see, you know, so. 279 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: Much of everything is so emotionally overwrought and manipulative, especially 280 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 2: what used to be news coverage of almost every issue. 281 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: And it's. 282 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 2: Frustrating if you're old enough to remember an era where 283 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: the newspapers at least somewhat presented a factual reading of 284 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 2: the day's events. Now everything is loaded and no context 285 00:15:55,760 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: is supplied, no common sense is supplied. They ever put 286 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: themselves the people who write these stories and they write 287 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: the headlines and and and schedule these stories for reporters, 288 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: They never put themselves in the Uh, in the mindset 289 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: of a common sense reader, what's the reader going to 290 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: think here? Who's reasonably intelligent and not insane? Well? Got 291 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: another example today? You probably heard this story. Uh, there's one, two, three, four, 292 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: five writers on this one. Nathan Solis, Jenni Jarvi, Karen Garcia, 293 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 2: Jasmine Mendez, Claire Hard are five writers, four of them women, 294 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: on this La Times story. Man fleeing home depot, immigration 295 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: rate is killed on SoCal Freeway. This is a terrible thing, 296 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: you know, for the family of this guy. But the 297 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 2: entire the entire article is positioned around the idea that 298 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 2: insecurity killed this guy. Now we're into seven full months. 299 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 2: Next week will be seven full months since Trump took over. 300 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear for the last ten years 301 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 2: that he wants to deported legal aliens, close the border 302 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 2: and all that. If you're still going to a home 303 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 2: depot after all this, and then you're shocked that there's 304 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 2: ICE agents trying to arrest you running for a freeway. 305 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: Isn't that on you? 306 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 2: Didn't you get the message for the last ten years, 307 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 2: certainly the last seven months, certainly the last couple of 308 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: months here in Los Angeles, that ICE is doing raids 309 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: at home depot. 310 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: Now, put aside for. 311 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 2: A minute, whether they're allowed or disallowed by court decisions, 312 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: they're obviously doing it anyway. I don't know the nuances 313 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 2: of why one home depot raid might be considered it 314 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 2: okay and another one isn't. I don't think the drump 315 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 2: administration particularly cares. They're just going to do this every 316 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 2: once in a while. And part of the reason is 317 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 2: it's got a very serious effect on a lot of 318 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 2: illegal aliens who'd say, you know what, I'm not going 319 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: to play this game anymore, too stressful, too risky, because 320 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: do you know, one point six million illegal aliens have 321 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: left the country one point six millions million, and only 322 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 2: a couple hundred thousand have actually been physically detained and 323 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: deported by ICE. So most of the people leaving got 324 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 2: the hint and got the message, but not this guy. 325 00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 2: Nine am, Immigration agents approach the home d POE in Monrovia. 326 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 2: An officer observed immig ICE agents at the site, and 327 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 2: now the Department Homeland Security said the individual got run 328 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 2: over on the two ten was not being pursued by 329 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: any DHS law enforcement. In fact, the agency says they 330 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 2: didn't even know what happened until hours after the operation. 331 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 2: So if they're telling the truth, it is conceivable that 332 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 2: this guy saw ICE coming and just took off on 333 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: his own and decided that he was going to cross 334 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 2: what a. 335 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: Ten lane freeway during rush hour. 336 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: Now that's entirely on him. First of all, he didn't 337 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: take the hint of the last two months anywhere between 338 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: two months and ten years that you shouldn't be here. 339 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 2: They're going to get you, and the ending's not going 340 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: to be good. I don't know how many times they 341 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 2: run these commercials in English and Spanish. They're offering money 342 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: to people to leave. You know, you get one thousand dollars. 343 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: They're offering to put you at the front of the 344 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: line to come back. I don't know what else you want, because, again, 345 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: common sense, I'm trying to be common sense guy. I 346 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 2: wouldn't do this in a foreign country and don't say, well, 347 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 2: if you're desperate, No, I'm not going to a foreign 348 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 2: country that clearly doesn't want me, and we'll go to 349 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 2: pretty serious measures to make sure I have to leave. 350 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 2: I don't know what the answer is in any one 351 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: person's particular life, but I do know that Mexico and 352 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 2: Guatemala and El Salvador and Honduras and Venezuela are currently 353 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 2: held currently holed tens of millions, if not hundreds of 354 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: millions of citizens in those countries, and these people get 355 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,239 Speaker 2: up in the morning and do their thing and go 356 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: to bed at night. So it's not mandatory that you 357 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 2: come here to work, a choice that you come here 358 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 2: to work. And I can only imagine what the Hispanic media, 359 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 2: how the Hispanic media has been covering these home deep 360 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 2: depot stories. 361 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 1: I haven't watched it. 362 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: Because I don't speak the language, but I could imagine 363 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 2: I'm familiar enough. So you've got to be seeing this 364 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 2: on television. You've got to be seeing this on your 365 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 2: blessed scroll your Instagram scroll right, It's got it. I mean, 366 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 2: what else would the guys standing at home depot talk about? 367 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: Right? What do you think the number one topic is? 368 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 2: As they're standing there, they're looking around to see if 369 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 2: ice is coming to arrest them. So this guy can't 370 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 2: be unaware of what's going on. That doesn't seem possible. 371 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: So he knows he's in the country illegally, he knows 372 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: he's trying to get work illegally. He knows in a 373 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 2: place that is the most likely place he's going to 374 00:21:54,680 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 2: get arrested. And his response is to stay there anyway. 375 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: And then his response is, Oh, I'm going to run 376 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 2: across a ten lane interstate highway and then I'm going 377 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 2: to read this story in the La Times and it's 378 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,359 Speaker 2: and the whole thrust of the story is it's the 379 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 2: fault of Department Homeland Security, and the attitude is it's 380 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: your fault if you support. 381 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: Trump's Department of Homeland Security. And here's how they do it. 382 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 2: Of all the people they could quote, they quote a UCLA. 383 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: Professor of Chicano Studies, Robert chow Romero. He's the guy. 384 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 2: At of thousands and thousands of Southern Californians you could 385 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 2: choose to comment on this, they choose this guy, a 386 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 2: UCLA professor of Chicano studies. It just breaks my heart 387 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: because it's just so inhumane. These horrible, unjust ice policies 388 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 2: have led to someone dying. No, the guy died because 389 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: he tried to run across a ten lane freeway on 390 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: his own, unpursued. Maybe he was pursued in the parking lot, 391 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 2: but nobody chased him across the freeway. 392 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: That's just false. 393 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: Why would you highlight Why would that be the first 394 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: quote you use? And then of course they talked to 395 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 2: somebody who met one of the family members of the 396 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: guy who was hit by the car. I feel so 397 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 2: bad for her, I feel so bad for the families. 398 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 2: These are people trying to escape whatever horrible atrocities they 399 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 2: came from for a better life. You're assuming that they're 400 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 2: suffering horrible atrocities. They may just have come here in 401 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 2: order to earn money that wasn't going to be taxed, 402 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: and it was going to be more money than they 403 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 2: make at home. But stop assuming that out of the 404 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 2: ten million people that flooded over the border, they were 405 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: all fleeing atrocities. No, they came here because we left 406 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: the front door open. And this is how the La 407 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 2: Times and their gaggle of community college writers presents the news. 408 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 2: And it's just and and and there's nothing else to 409 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 2: go to. You can't read another unbiased rational logical. Everything's 410 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,120 Speaker 2: emotional manipulation. Everything is supposed to make. I mean, maybe 411 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: these young female reporters are all sobbing away over this, 412 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: but I'm looking at this and I'm saying, how about 413 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: just a line about how they've been warned for ten years. 414 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 2: They've certainly been warned. The last seven months, they've certainly 415 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 2: seen enough. I mean, the whole riot in LA was 416 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: partly over a home depot raid. There's all these court cases. 417 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 2: It's clear Trump administration is going to do this anyway, 418 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 2: I'm just. 419 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: It's so so frustrating. It's just it's so ridiculous. 420 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A M. 421 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 5: Six forty. 422 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: Coming up after the two o'clock hour. 423 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,719 Speaker 2: Yesterday, we told you about the guy who threw the 424 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 2: subway sandwich at the at the Ice agent. We found 425 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 2: out what the what the sandwich was, and I know 426 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 2: it's probably kept you up all night and and you're 427 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: you're dying to know just what kind of sandwich was it. 428 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 2: It was a Department of Justice worker. This guy works 429 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: for the DOJ. He handles international affairs and extra duiding fugitives, 430 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 2: and he I think he got probably really drunk and 431 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 2: was so incensed at the at the Ice agents in Washington, 432 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 2: d C. That he whipped the sandwich and hit one 433 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 2: of the Ice agents in the chest. And you may say, well, 434 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 2: that's not a big deal. Well he's he's got a 435 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: federal felony charge against him and it could be a 436 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 2: year in prison, So it is a big deal. We'll 437 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 2: talk about that coming up. You may have heard that 438 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 2: the authorities here in southern California, in San Bernardino County 439 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: have arrested fifty six people. 440 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: A massive cockfighting ring. You know how big. 441 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 2: They seized thirty five hundred roosters. This is one of 442 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 2: the largest cockfighting rings I've ever heard of. They arrested 443 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 2: fifty six people, They confiscated thirty five hundred roosters. And 444 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: you know what they do with cockfighting is they tie 445 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 2: razor blades to the rooster's legs and then send them 446 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 2: to do battle. They also, and here's a surprise, they 447 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 2: confiscated many five our arms and drug paraphernalia. It was 448 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 2: called Operation Crowing Rooster. And they did this for six weeks, 449 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 2: twenty six search warrants all over San Bernardino County. You know, 450 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 2: we really got to tighten up the Yes, we had 451 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: to tighten up the immigration laws. 452 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: What kind of a culture is this. 453 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 2: Thirty five hundred roosters fighting each other with with razor 454 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: blades or the knives or whatever the hell they use. 455 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 2: Now I'm glad Debra isn't here today because they had 456 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 2: to euthanize all thirty five hundred birds. That's thirty five 457 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 2: hundred to dead roosters. Fifty six people arrested, ten charged 458 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: with a felony, and the others charged with various misdemeanors, 459 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: including animal cruelty. This is big business, all right. Wait, 460 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: this is not thirty five hundred roosters by accident. They 461 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: seized more than two hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars 462 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 2: in cash, twelve firearms, three ghost cuns, twelve ounces of cocaine. 463 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 2: About twelve ounce is a meth, six grams of fentanyl. 464 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: I guess this is what guys do is they get 465 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 2: whacked out on coke and meth and then start betting 466 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: on the on the cock fights. Yeah, i'd I these 467 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 2: these kind of cultures need need not be admitted there. 468 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 2: Actually there's a there's a assemblymen who wants to put 469 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: a limit on the number of roosters that you own. 470 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: It's called the cock Fighting Cruelty Act, and you would 471 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: penalize anybody if you have more than three roosters per 472 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: acre twenty five on a property, unless you have a 473 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 2: commercial poultry operation or you're a poultry hobbyist. Who is 474 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 2: a poultry hobbyist. I don't think I want to meet 475 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: that guy. Schools, farm agencies and whatnot. This is not 476 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 2: the first bus they've had in the Inland Empire. What 477 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 2: you do is you pay twenty dollars to park at 478 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 2: a lot a mile from the property and then you 479 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 2: get shuttled to the home. And this would these cockfights 480 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 2: would draw crowds of more than one hundred spectators and gamblers. 481 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 2: Good lord, can you get more primitive than this? One 482 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: of them in Victorville had three hundred spectators in attendance, 483 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 2: thirty five hundred birds, and now they're all going to 484 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 2: be dead, all right when we come back a lot 485 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: of different things.
