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

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

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four and then

4
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 2: after four o'clock John Cobel Show on demand on the

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: iHeart app. Among the stuff we're going to be covering

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 2: later in the hour. Tom Homan went on Fox last

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: night and they're getting close to finding who has been

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: leaking information in various cities about ICE's raids to deport

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: criminal illegal aliens.

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: There's been a.

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: Lot of that going on the raid and Aurora was

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 2: short circuited in Colorado. They're going after the trend dear

13
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: Ragua gang members and then some local media released the tails.

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: In San Francisco, the FCC is doing an investigation for

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: an all news station up there, KCBS. They went into

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: detail about what streets the ICE agents were going to be,

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: the make and model and color of their cars. I

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: mean that that shouldn't be legal, but you know, Sam Francisco,

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: you go to work for a new station, there's gonna

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: be a lot of woacads and there's there's leakers inside ICE,

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: I guess inside the Trump administration, and uh, they're they're

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: giving warnings in advance here here, the La Times had

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: had some coverage that a big raid was being planned

24
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:22,559
Speaker 2: in La very soon. So Holman is is furious. Uh,

25
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: and they think they're closing in on the leak or

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 2: will play some of those clips coming up?

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: Now, let's get to.

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 3: This.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

30
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: This uh is fascinating. You know, you never know when

31
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: Trump if he's just blowing out an idea, just a

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: random idea that hits him, or if he's if he's

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: got if he just wants to entertain people. Trump is

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 2: insisting that the US has the authority to take Gaza,

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: and he wants the Palestinians forced out and sent to Jordan.

36
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: In Egypt, which wants no part of this.

37
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: Trump is looking at this to completely rebuild the site

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: since it's been mostly destroyed. We're going to talk now

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: with the Lieutenant General Richard Newton, retired Air Force and

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 2: he contributes to News Nation as a senior national security contributor.

41
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Let's get Richard Newton on. Lieutenant General Newton, how are you.

42
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: Hey, John, Great to be with you, a good afternoon,

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: and again lost the tea up here.

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, can he do it?

45
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: Or is he trying to turn this into a reality somehow.

46
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Is there any legal basis for the US going in there,

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: and assuming I don't know, conservatorship of Gaza, if not

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: outright ownership, I mean, how does this work?

49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: Well, I tell a legal basis was the election in November.

50
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: And I'll guarantee if President Trump is deadly serious about this.

51
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: You know, this announcement to take over Gaza is it's

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: an extraordinary paradigm shift. And you know, frankly, we've been

53
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 3: dealing with the hypocrisy of almost complete hypocrisy in Gaza,

54
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: the region, this whole idea of a two state solution

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 3: for years. And on the other hand, you have Iran

56
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: and its proxy's really seeking to destroy Israel since nineteen

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: seventy nine. And so what presidents come up with is

58
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: a certainly a much different approach. As I mentioned, what

59
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: I would call a significant paradigm shift and so forth.

60
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: So there's you know, he's obviously shifting the narrative. I

61
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: believe he has a high ground here in terms of

62
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: there's a lot of things that have not worked John,

63
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: and this is you know, the idea of quote either

64
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: ownership or developing Gaza is. You know, it's certainly the

65
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: current force as you're in the Mid East, but it

66
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: surely will be a catalyst for a lot of new ideas, frankly, John,

67
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: that I think are much needed.

68
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: How do you practically remove there's what two million Palestinians

69
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: that I don't know how many still live there after

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: all the bombing.

71
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's anywhere between one point eight million and two million,

72
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: as you allude to. And if you recall a couple

73
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: of weeks or so ago, you know, he made a

74
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: pronouncement also of seeking Jordan, seeking Egypt, other Arab nations

75
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: to take the Palestinian, the non militant Palestinians, the refugees

76
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 3: out of Gaza because it has indeed been turned into rubble.

77
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: They refused to do so so far. In fact, King

78
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: abdill of the Second, who by the way, is a

79
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: very strong ally and frankly, in my estimation, a very

80
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: effective leader in Jordan, who was in the Oval office

81
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: earlier this week and really tried to have some you know,

82
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: conversation obviously with the President. He implored King Abdullah and

83
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: others to take the Palestinians, whether or not that happens,

84
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of challenges inside the nation of

85
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 3: Jordan and maybe perhaps Israel as well. But if this

86
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: is gonna work, you're gonna have to displace the Palestinians,

87
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: and that's been very difficult to do. Look, this is

88
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 3: this is an this is a very hard idea. It's

89
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: a big idea, but it's a very hard idea. But

90
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: it's going to start somewhere. And if you're going to

91
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: change the narrative, you're going to change the plight of

92
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: the Palestinian people. You're going to have to give them

93
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: an opportunity to uh to live elsewhere while the rebuilding

94
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: of Gaza takes place.

95
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: From what I understand, the history of the Palestinians is

96
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: when whenever another country takes them in, you end up

97
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: with a lot of trouble. There's just too many, too

98
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: many terrorist types, there's too many unstable elements, and you

99
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: end up it's more trouble than it's worth. You end

100
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: up with some of the some of the people, some

101
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: of the Palestinians want to overthrow whatever government they're visiting,

102
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 2: you know, whether it's Jordan or Lebanon or wherever. They've

103
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: been kicked out of a lot of the neighboring countries

104
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 2: over the decades it has.

105
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: That's a fair point. It's also a tightrope for say,

106
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: King Abdulah in Jordan to say, you know, host the

107
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: million or so of the Palestinian people, because you have

108
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: to balance what he has sought, peace with Israel, along

109
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: with supporting the United States, along with nearly one billion

110
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: dollars of aid that the United States has poured into Jordan.

111
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: But at the same time, he himself has a rested population,

112
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: and a very large component of that Palestinian Jordan happened

113
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 3: to be displaced Palestinians in of itself. So I'm not

114
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: telling you this is easy. In fact, this is extraordinarily difficult.

115
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 3: But I can tell you that whatever we've been trying

116
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: to do up to this point in the last several

117
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: decade has not worked. So I think we ought to

118
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: give present the opportunity in the lane here as I mentioned,

119
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 3: to change the narrative and significant paradigm shift here in

120
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 3: the vidis I do.

121
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: I wonder what Trump could offer these these countries to

122
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 2: get them to do it. I mean, there's got to

123
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: be something in it for them not to just take

124
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: in one hundreds of thousands of people who don't want

125
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: to be there and could be really disruptive. I mean,

126
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: those populations aren't going to want them either. So any

127
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 2: leader that does this is going to get blowback from

128
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: his own people.

129
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: So what's there for?

130
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the current that that Trump could offer these

131
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: these uh these leaders.

132
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: Well, one of the care would be a rejuvenated security

133
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 3: UH guarantees that would you know, provide the United States

134
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 3: would provide UH security for UH. You know, could be

135
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: border security, other things. Other military aid, could provide some

136
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: economic aid called jobs. UH could put first priority for

137
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: these participating nations. In an academic conversation I'm having with you,

138
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: say a lot of the workforce comes out of Egypt

139
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: or Jordan or other places, and give them first priority

140
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 3: for jobs for the reconstruction in Gaza itself. So there

141
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: are some some avenues approach. He could also approach Saudi Arabia,

142
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: which is the richest Arab nation in the region, and

143
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 3: provide them a herit for say trade and oil you know,

144
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: negotiations and so forth, and certainly increased military aid to

145
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 3: Saudi Arabia to provide you know, that on ramp for

146
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: them to accept politically diplomatically. This whole idea of moving

147
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 3: the displaced gods and citizens in this case, in order

148
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 3: to rebuild. The other aspect of this is this isn't

149
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 3: a three to five year deal, however, John, this is

150
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: this is ten to fifteen years in the making. So

151
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 3: it's going to have to have those guarantees are gonna

152
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 3: have to be solidly in place because it's going to

153
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: transcend not only a Trump administration, but several administrations thereafter.

154
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just look it in the Wall Street Journal.

155
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: They had a story about this today and Trump was

156
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: sitting next to King Abdullah of Jordan and said, flat out,

157
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: there's nothing to buy. We will have Gaza. We're going

158
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: to take it. Asked under what authority he would have

159
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 2: to take it, he says the United States authority, and

160
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 2: the discussion it was.

161
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: Very clear about that. And again and he appreciates the

162
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: fact that King Abdullah is in a tough position, as

163
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: you and I mentioned just a few minutes or so ago,

164
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: from his own political standpoint. You know, just for the record,

165
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: you know, King of Dullah's great grandfather was actually assassinated

166
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: by a Palestinian in nineteen fifty one. So there's a

167
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: long history of unrest or potential unrest. But to King

168
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: Abdullah's credit. I've been to Jordan, I've been with our

169
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 3: troops there. It's a solid nation. They solidly behind the

170
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 3: United States. Regardless of the administration. It isn't within US

171
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: national security interest for Jordan to excel in this case.

172
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: And that's why you've got the first air bleader to

173
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 3: visit the Oval Office under Trump, Andministration number two happens

174
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: to be the King of Jordan. It's not lost on that.

175
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 3: So the other I'll close on my final point here

176
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 3: is that the fact that there's a lot of it's

177
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: not just economics, but there's other aspects of US national

178
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: security of play here. There's geopolitical, there's diplomatic, there's certainly military,

179
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: and there's economic and financial here. But the bottom line

180
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: is that if we're going to restore any type of

181
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 3: restoration to Gazam, that helps with US national security, it

182
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: helps with the Mid East, but all roads, My bottom

183
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: line is, however, all roads lead back to Tehran and

184
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: the key area there is that they cannot get their

185
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: hands on a nuclear weapon, nor they continue to put

186
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: forth hate towards Israel, condemning Israel as well as the

187
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 3: third piece of this is we've got to stop them

188
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: from supporting their proxies to go do harm not only

189
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 3: to Israel, but to the United States and our US

190
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: nation security interest overseas. So but all roads lead back

191
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: to Kylan.

192
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 2: John all right, thank you for coming on, Lieutenant General

193
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: Richard Newton, retired Air Force general, and the idea of

194
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: US going in and just taking Gaza because we can't

195
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: and then what would we do with it?

196
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: Thanks very much, my pleasure, great being with you. John.

197
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 5: All right, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from

198
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 5: kf I am sixty.

199
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: We're just talking with let me get his name here.

200
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 2: The Lieutenant General Richard Newton, who was telling us the

201
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 2: feasibility Trump doesn't doesn't give up on this.

202
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: He did.

203
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: This was not a throwaway. I mean, it's it's probably

204
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: a grand negotiating ploy. But he he had a press

205
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: conference and he sat next to the King of Jordan

206
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: and he, uh, He's just said we're we're gonna take

207
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: over Gaza. And somebody asked, well, under what authority goes

208
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: under the authority of the United States of America and

209
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 2: the and King of Abdullah of Jordan was sitting right

210
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: next to him.

211
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: There.

212
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 2: Now, contrast this with recent administrations such as the Biden administration.

213
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: Because one thing that that Elon Musk and his crowd

214
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: has discovered is the United States Agency for International Development USAID.

215
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 2: They've been making the headlines a lot in the last week,

216
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: and it turns out they had a forty billion dollar

217
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: budget for foreign aid and probably by their own admission,

218
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the money was not going to citizens

219
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: of these poor, impoverished, war torn countries.

220
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example.

221
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: It looks like the USAID in the State Department spent

222
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty four million dollars on something called

223
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 2: the Middle East Form, the Middle East Forum. Well, let

224
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: me reverse that. The Middle East Forum did a study

225
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: of the money that USAID was handing out, and they're

226
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 2: the investigators the Middle East Form, and it turns out

227
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: that USAID was giving more than nine hundred thousand dollars

228
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 2: to a terror charity.

229
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Based in Gaza.

230
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 2: It was a non governmental organization an NNGO, which advertised

231
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 2: itself as an organization that works to build a civil

232
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 2: society on the Gaza Strip. That you might laugh at that, well,

233
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 2: they were actually a terror charity. They got nine hundred

234
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: thousand dollars from the US government. The funding began in

235
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, and they were getting money right up till

236
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: the day the Hamas attacked Israel. It was founded in

237
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven after Hamas took over the Gaza Strip,

238
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 2: and Beadare operates in close cooperation with the Hamas regime.

239
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 2: It's twenty twenty one report notes coordination and meetings with

240
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: all of Hamas's cabinet officials in various ministries. The funds

241
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: were gotten through other charities such as Catholic Relief Services.

242
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: So what I'm saying here is our tax money, your

243
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: tax money, we have been financing these terror groups who

244
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: present themselves as peaceful organizations trying to make life better

245
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: for the poor people stuck in a warzone. But actually

246
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: the money was going to Hamas. The report found that

247
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 2: USAID approved a twelve and a half million dollar grant

248
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: to another agency called the American Near East Refugee Agency.

249
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 2: You see, you put the word refugee in there, and

250
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: people go, oh, but we want to help refugees. It's

251
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: not their fault that their countries are torn up by war. Well,

252
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: except it's not a refugee agency. It's a partner of Hamas.

253
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 2: It says that staffers with this agency have repeatedly and

254
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: publicly posted violent ideas calling on God to erase the Jews,

255
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: expressing support for the brave Hamas prisoners in the Israeli jails,

256
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: and described October seventh as a beautiful morning.

257
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: USAID won't even say how much they give.

258
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: Other organizations such as Unlimited Friends Association. You got to

259
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 2: love the names of these places, Unlimited Friends, which the

260
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: head of the charity promised to cleanse their land of

261
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: impure Jews, impure Jews. And this report goes on and

262
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: on and on, so our tax see if you see people,

263
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 2: especially like democratic politicians. I heard and saw so many

264
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: screaming meltdowns, officials screaming f Trump. They're having a total

265
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: emotional breakdown. This is the stuff that they're fighting against.

266
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: Terrorist organizations who were stealing US taxpayers money with phony,

267
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: phony fronts claiming that they were helping refugees. And I'm

268
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: sure people with obviously people within these agencies knew they

269
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: were phony fronts. We were paying people on our own

270
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: agencies who wanted the Jews eradicated from the Middle East.

271
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: All right, you got more coming up? Oh, we're going

272
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: to talk about Tom Holman. Tom Holman going on Fox

273
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: News and he has had it with the leaks getting

274
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: in the way of his raids. And we'll play some

275
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 2: clips of They're gonna they I think they found the

276
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 2: person or the people who have been sabotaging the raids

277
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: with premature leaks.

278
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that next.

279
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

280
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 5: six forty oh.

281
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: I forgot to mention the Moistline.

282
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: Yes, the Moistline is back this week eight seven seven

283
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six, usually

284
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 2: talkback feature on the iew art iHeart Radio app. I

285
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: think it's becoming clear that the enemy is is the

286
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: government itself, the government workers who are responding so angrily

287
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 2: to Trump and trying to block their dismissals and they're

288
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: going to court or they're leaking information that that is

289
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 2: really the center. I mean, he is smoking out just

290
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: how kurfat and corrupt and and stupid and useless many

291
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 2: of the government workers are. I mean, instead of going

292
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: along with the program like there's there's a there's a

293
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 2: new regime, they've got a new philosophy, and I guess

294
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: They're used to sitting around on their fat asses at

295
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 2: home in their fuzzy slippers and bathrobes, and now Trump

296
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: has said, no, you got to get dressed, and you

297
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: got to come to work, and you've actually got to

298
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: do work, and we're going to decide whether your job

299
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,239
Speaker 2: is relevant or not, we're useful or not. And uh,

300
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: you know there they should take the buyouts. Anybody who's

301
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 2: gotten a buyout offer eight months with pay and benefits,

302
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 2: they got to take it because, uh, your life is

303
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: going to be miserable anyway. You're gonna lose your job eventually.

304
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: Anyway.

305
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: Take the money now and then go take these charming

306
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: work habits to the private sector and see how far

307
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: it takes you. One of the enemies in the government

308
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: is uh people a person or people inside ice inside

309
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: the Trump adminished and they're calling up the media. They've

310
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: done it in Aurora, Colorado, in San Francisco and in

311
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: la among other places, and they're leaking information about the

312
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: ice rates. Now, there can't be that many people aware

313
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: that an ice rate is coming to a town. And

314
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 2: Tom Holman, the borders are who we're supposed to have

315
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: on within the next week or so, he's going to

316
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: come on our show. He went on Fox last night

317
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: with Hannity and was questioned about where are the leaks coming.

318
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 6: From, Tom, Where are these leaks coming from?

319
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 4: Well, look where think it's coming from? Inside?

320
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 7: And we know the first week of Aurora is under

321
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 7: current investigation. We think we identify that person under investigation

322
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 7: right now. The California League Secretary of NOME, she's correct.

323
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 7: Some of the information we're receiving tensive lead toward the FBI.

324
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 7: But I talked to Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.

325
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 7: They've opened up a criminal investigation and they have promised

326
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 7: that not only this person will lose their job and

327
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 7: lose your pension, they're gonna go to jail. They're gonna

328
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 7: criminally prosecute. So we're all over it. We got the

329
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 7: dhs IG investigating the first one. Have pretty idea what happened,

330
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 7: can't share lots of it is under investigation, but the

331
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 7: IGS opened up a criminal investigation on the Secondhere we're

332
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 7: selling a strong message. It's just not you know, given

333
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,959
Speaker 7: the bad guys that heads up so they can escape apprehension.

334
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 7: Right we're arresting and you know, given you know Venzuela

335
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 7: gang heads up, so we can't arrest them. You're putting

336
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 7: officers lives at risk. It's only a matter of time.

337
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 7: We walk into a place where there's gonna be a

338
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 7: bad guy doesn't care. He's going to be sitting and

339
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 7: wait for the officers show up and ambush them.

340
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 4: This is not a game.

341
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 7: So DHS and DJ are connected at hip to hold

342
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 7: these people responsible in a criminal fashion.

343
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 6: So early indications are this is coming from our own FBI.

344
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 6: How certain are you of.

345
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 7: That information leading to that? Again, I'll let I'll let

346
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 7: the Department of Justice do their own investigation. But again

347
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 7: I talked to the Deputy Tourney General this week and

348
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 7: they've opened up a criminal investigation. He thinks the information

349
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 7: is coming from there also, So we'll let an invigation

350
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 7: investigation play out.

351
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 4: But some of the leads point that way.

352
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: Great, we've got woke, progressive FBI agents or other FBI

353
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: personnel leaking sensitive details about ICE raids, and Holman's right.

354
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: Eventually some ICE officials officers are going to get killed.

355
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: There's gonna they're gonna stage in, ambush and and and

356
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: murder these guys, which shows you that these these woke

357
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: progressive jackasses. They hate this country, they hate our way

358
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: of life.

359
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: And this is this is this is treason.

360
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: The when you're talking about MS thirteen gang members, Trendy

361
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 2: Iraguo gang members, people out of Venezuelan prisons, this is like,

362
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: this is warfare here. These are the worst people from

363
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: these societies and they've been allowed to flourish here. Now,

364
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: why do you think that is because they want the chaos.

365
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: These progressives who have embedded themselves in the government, embedded

366
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: themselves in the FBI, they want the chaos, They want

367
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: the violence. They don't care about the collateral damage. They

368
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: don't care if young women are raped and brutalized and

369
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 2: murdered like Lake and Riley. They have a larger cause,

370
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: and that is the dismantling of capitalist America, of our

371
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 2: democratic way of life. And they've done a good job

372
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 2: of infiltrating government. And that's what Holman and Musk and

373
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 2: Trump are doing is smoking these guys out Here is

374
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: Hannity asking about these eighty six thousand IRS agents who

375
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: might be going down to the border to help.

376
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 6: Out the idea of you know, not hiring these eighty

377
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 6: eight thousand IRS agents to go after you know, waile

378
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 6: abiding taxpayers and bringing them to the border. How helpful

379
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 6: would that be in your mission?

380
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 4: So we'll put them to work for the law enforcement officers.

381
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 7: We are certainly putting work and helping secure some of

382
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 7: these at large operations. They don't have an immigration authority,

383
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 7: but they can certainly cover back door, they can certainly transport,

384
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 7: they can certainly help process the non criminal IRS agent.

385
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 7: They can help us process and do some intelligence and

386
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 7: wrap around infrastructure planning.

387
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 4: We'll take them.

388
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 7: We can use all the help we can get because

389
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 7: this is a big operation, So I hope we get

390
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 7: some of them. I think it's a President and Trust

391
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 7: made it very clear this is all a government approach

392
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 7: because this is the nest. This is a national security

393
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 7: vulnerability or open border and having all these two over

394
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 7: two million known guideways. You and I talked about some

395
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 7: lot sean help us find these people who paid more

396
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 7: to get away over two men. We know who they are,

397
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 7: where they came from, why they're here. But we need

398
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 7: to find those folks that We'll take every man and

399
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 7: woman available to come.

400
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: You believe the mess that was left behind by Biden Kamala,

401
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: this is a gigantic mess, thousands and thousands and millions

402
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 2: of illegal aliens, many of them violent criminals, and now

403
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: you have these progress By the way, there's no difference

404
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: between the progressive the FBI leaking out ICE raid information

405
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: and what Karen Bass's opinion is here in LA because

406
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 2: she has pledged absolutely no cooperation with ICE. She has

407
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: declared LA a sanctuary city, which means that rather than

408
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 2: have law enforcement turn over illegal aliens that they arrest

409
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: and detain instead of turning over to the Feds. Now

410
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 2: these ICE agents have to go out into the neighborhoods

411
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: and risk getting ambushed, risk getting murdered. So the result

412
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 2: is is that Karen Bass is in one hundred percent

413
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: agreement with the FBI agents who are acting like traders

414
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:48,479
Speaker 2: and endangering the lives of ICE law enforcement. You know,

415
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: she walks around with that silly smile on her face,

416
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 2: although not lately for the last month, her politics are indistinguishable.

417
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: It is the same philosophy. Here's one more cut. Hannity

418
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: asking Tom Holman how quickly we can find all these

419
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: illegal aliens, and Holman says, well, it's a sanctuary city.

420
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 6: Is getting in the way, This is not an easy

421
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 6: lift to begin with, and you've expressed confidence that you'll

422
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 6: find them all, and the question is how quickly do

423
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 6: you think we can find them all?

424
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 7: Well, Sanctuary cities now they're putting up heavy roadblock possible

425
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 7: and right than the rest of the bad guy in

426
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 7: account at gail takes one agent arrested bad guy when

427
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 7: they gets arrested in putting account in jail, we got

428
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 7: to send a whole team to the neighborhood. So it's

429
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 7: going to be it's very difficult sanctuarous cities, but we're

430
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 7: gonna keep coming. What are we doing about sanctuous cities.

431
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 7: I'm going to double a man part in those sanctuous cities.

432
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 7: Sanctuary cities if we can't get him in their homes,

433
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 7: will get him a place for amployment. We're going to

434
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 7: have large scale of work site enforcement operation. So we're

435
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 7: going to send more resource. We're not going to stop,

436
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 7: We're going to keep coming. We're going to keep coming more.

437
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 7: We're going to increase the tieting in those cities. We're

438
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 7: gonna give full steam ahead on sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities

439
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 7: have we come in the priority why because of protection

440
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 7: they're protecting public safety, threasts and national security threats. So

441
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 7: we're gonna double manpower, We're gonna double operations, We're gonna

442
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 7: double targeting. We're coming full more and then not gonna

443
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 7: stop us. I'm taking this seriously. I don't sleep well

444
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 7: at night because I'm afraid of the people are walking

445
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 7: the streets here every day because sanctuarious cities to protect them.

446
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 7: Sanctuary cities are sanctuary for criminals bottom line. So we're

447
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 7: gonna we're gonna do everything we can to find them,

448
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 7: regardless of what it takes. We got a strong President

449
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,160
Speaker 7: of White House has given us all authority we need.

450
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: We're coming criminals, gang members, terrorists. That's who Garon Bass

451
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 2: is protecting. Who's she endangering? Ice agents, police officers. That

452
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: that smile is a cover for a lot of a

453
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: lot of woke, fanatical progressive beliefs. She's destructive and damaging.

454
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: You don't think she's destructive, go take a look at

455
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 2: the palisades. We're coming up.

Speaker 2: got his college education paid for by US tax bears.

464
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: Tell you that story coming up. This is actually my

465
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: favorite Trump executive order. All right, there's been hundreds of them.

466
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 2: This is number one. He's signing an executive order that

467
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: ends the Biden administration's ruling on banning plastic straws.

468
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 8: I hate, I absolutely hate those paper straws.

469
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 9: I've got to.

470
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 2: Say, well, you're on the side of the president. I

471
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: will be signing executive See if I was president, this

472
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,360
Speaker 2: would have been my first executive order. First, my first one, yes,

473
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: is said to end the ban on plastic straws. He wrote,

474
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 2: I will be signing an executive order ending the ridiculous

475
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: Biden push for paper straws, which don't work.

476
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 9: They don't there It is true.

477
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 8: I had a smoothie a few weeks ago and I

478
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 8: had one of those paper straws.

479
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I got I got mad in a

480
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: restaurant in Santa Monica a few years ago when they

481
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 2: switched to the paper straw mandate and they gave this

482
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 2: place had really really bad paper straws and you just

483
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: stick them in your mouth once for about eight seconds

484
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: and they disintegrated like it was cotton candy. And I

485
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: went up to the woman behind the counter, one of

486
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: these bad attitude women, and I said, these don't work. Well,

487
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: you know that's the rule in Santa Monica.

488
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: They don't work. Well that you know, that's the ordinance

489
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: that was bad. They don't work.

490
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 9: You know, well, what were you expecting to do?

491
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: John?

492
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 9: Here, I have a secret stash plastic for you.

493
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 2: I just wanted her to annoy her, you know, she she,

494
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: she kept changing the subject subject was they don't work?

495
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 9: But the turtle?

496
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Oh, for God's sakes, was it a turtle?

497
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

498
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 9: Wasn't it a turtle?

499
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: See turtle? Yeah?

500
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 9: See turtle?

501
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 8: Didn't I think pastathon one year? I think I didn't.

502
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 8: I I got you some kind of costume and you

503
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 8: had to put a strop your nose or something.

504
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: Did I do that?

505
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah?

506
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 9: Gosh? When was that? It was your?

507
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 6: Well?

508
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: I had Yeah, I remember the costume. I think I

509
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: still have it at home.

510
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, there was a put it.

511
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: It was green and yellow. Sometimes I want to be

512
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: a turtle. I get in the mood.

513
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 2: Yes, And the thing is that was the only turtle

514
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: that ever happened to. But there was a photograph and

515
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: some nine year old who's probably twenty five now, because

516
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: this this was going back a few years. Uh he

517
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: he started, you know, through the internet, a whole nationwide

518
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 2: movement to bamp plastic straws, and of course the stupid

519
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 2: bozos in California went for it and banned plastic straws

520
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: here and there was it was one.

521
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: It was one sea turtle.

522
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 9: But that was that was very uh it was. It

523
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 9: was stressful to see that that a straw. It was.

524
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 8: It was hartful for the sea turtle. I felt that

525
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 8: not bad enough that I never wanted to see.

526
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it even killed him.

527
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 2: I think it just temporarily got got lodged in there

528
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: and probably probably made its way out.

529
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 9: Have you ever tried metal straws?

530
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, a couple of times.

531
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 9: I don't like those either.

532
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: No, because you know what, you could give yourself a

533
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: lobotomy with those. I remember sucking on a metal straw

534
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 2: and banging my elbow on the table and that shoved

535
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: the metal, you know, into the roof of my mouth,

536
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 2: and I said, wait.

537
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: You can die here.

538
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: You could end up with like six inches of a

539
00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 2: metal rod in your brain. God, all these, all these

540
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 2: wonderful progressive ideas are dangerous. So uh, Trump has said

541
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 2: publicly they want to ban straws. Does anyone ever try

542
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 2: those paper straws? They're not working too good. It disintegrates

543
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 2: as you drink it. If radical environmentalists want to end

544
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 2: all pratt plastic, they should quit using it. Uh. Actually

545
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: one of the senators said that. I mean, it's just

546
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: it's all this stuff is annoying. It's just annoying. It's

547
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: like it's in my car too. This there's this do

548
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 2: you know that little feature? I guess they would call

549
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: it where you stop in a traffic light and your

550
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: engine turns off.

551
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, but you have a choice though you don't have

552
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 8: to have that because I have that in my car.

553
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: But I can turn that off, but every time I

554
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: turn on the car, I have to press the button

555
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: and reactivate it. Yeah, And in some rental cars they

556
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 2: it's very difficult trying to find how you do it.

557
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: And I've had to look up on YouTube online manuals

558
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 2: that explain about ninety seconds. Sometimes you have to put

559
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: your transmission into a certain gear huh, and and you

560
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: have to take some other actions, like it's like a

561
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 2: three step process, and you have to do that every

562
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: single time you get in the car, because they figured

563
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: out that nobody.

564
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: Likes it, because because especially.

565
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 2: In LA, you stop at a light and your car

566
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 2: stalls out, it does take a couple of seconds for

567
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: it to get going again. And if you've got a

568
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 2: crazed homeless person who's sitting on your hood banging on

569
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: your window, you could die.

570
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 8: You haven't you You are not used to that because

571
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 8: I don't even think about that anymore. And I can

572
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 8: change the setting. I'm just too lazy. And then I

573
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 8: forget and it's just it's just part of my driving life.

574
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 8: I don't even I don't even give it a second thought.

575
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 9: How many other things.

576
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: You are the problem? You get used to everybody. Everybody

577
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: gets used to things.

578
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 8: No, I mean, if it was bad enough, and sometimes

579
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 8: I have changed it, and then and then I it

580
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 8: goes back, and you.

581
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: Know, I don't even back out of my driveway before

582
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 2: turning on the whatever that is it's the symbol is

583
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: like an A right. It looks like an AS sign.

584
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: Just there's nothing that that movement does which is not

585
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 2: colossally irritating and unnecessary. Nothing that that's the stuff that

586
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 2: fries me when something is unnecessary and really irritating and

587
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 2: impinges on my freedoms. Tired of having my freedom, the

588
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 2: freedom to like bolt off a traffic light right once

589
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: once the light turns green, right get away from a

590
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: crazy homeless person.

591
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, but you can, you can. You just have to

592
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 8: change the setting.

593
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 9: You can do that. So it's not really uh, it

594
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 9: doesn't really.

595
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 8: Have anything to do with your with your with your

596
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 8: rights or anything like that, because you can change it, right,

597
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 8: you just forget or you're lazy like me.
