1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 2: I am six forty.

3
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio

Speaker 3: so every day you can hear the whole show at

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 3: some point. And we are going to talk with Royal

9
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: Oaks now in just a moment. The ongoing drama after

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 3: the Trump administration sent two hundred and sixty one illegal

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 3: alien criminals to an El Salvador in prison. This prison

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 3: is one of the most notorious in the world and

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 3: most of these guys were gang members Trendyarragua primarily some Marisalvatrusha.

14
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 3: All of them are in the country illegally, all bad guys,

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: there's no question about it. And the Trump administration got

16
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: blowback from a judge, James District Judge, who ordered the

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: planes to be turned around, and the Trump people either

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: couldn't do that or wouldn't do that. So those two

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty one prisoners are still in L Salvador,

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: although Venezuela has now agreed to take future illegal alien deportations.

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: Apparently that was part of what was going on.

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 3: After Bosberg's decision, it went to the Trump administration appealed

23
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: to the US District Court of Appeals in Washington, d C.

24
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: And one of the judges on the appeals panel said

25
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 3: that these criminal legal aliens were treated so badly. Nazis

26
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 3: got better treatment than what these Venezuelans and l Salvadorans got.

27
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: We are going to talk out of worl Oaks from

28
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: Aby's News to sort out this. It's become quite quite

29
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: a drama royally there.

30
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: And yeah, the whole Nazi thing is the Nazi thing

31
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: relates to kind of an interesting mystery we got on

32
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: our hands. So everybody's kind of familiar now with this issue.

33
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: That the trial court judge in Washington, d C. He's

34
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: really angry because you know, you ignored my order. I

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't want you to fly these guys Del Salvador without

36
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: giving them a hearing. You can't just round people up

37
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: off the street and send them the super Max Miell Salvador.

38
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: And he also said, and by the way, this law

39
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: from seventeen ninety eight Alien Enemies Act, you can't rely

40
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: on that to just round folks up. So the judges

41
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: is not happy with Donald Trump. But as you say,

42
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: it's now going up one level, just below the US

43
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Supreme Court to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. And

44
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: as you say, one of the judges today in the

45
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: hearing are three judges on this panel. One of them said, well,

46
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: the Trump's treating these guys, you know, Nazi's got better treatment.

47
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: And that judge, by the way, I hope you're sitting down,

48
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: was appointed by Bomba. There's the second judge, Jege Walker,

49
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: he's avoided by Trump. He's saying, you know, I don't

50
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: think this is such a bad thing. I mean, you know,

51
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: you got to have a lot of flexibility to get

52
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: rid of the bad guys. Then there's a third judge

53
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: who didn't say anything John during the whole hearing. This

54
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: one was appointed by George W. Bush. So that judge

55
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: is going to be the decider in this thing. But

56
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: of course whoever loses can try to go up to

57
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court. But bottom line is that, you know,

58
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: it's a big controversial issue. Can you just grab people

59
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: off the street and people point to the fact that,

60
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, during World War Two, the Japanese in tournament

61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: we were in a war, and so the courts were

62
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: okay with basically rounding people up. Do these gang bangers

63
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: being rounded up? Are they kind of in the same

64
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: position as enemy combatants? You know, there's some sort of

65
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: Nazi soldier who was in Louisiana. Yeah, we'd have a

66
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: right to boot him ounta in World War two. So

67
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: the fight goes on. But between you and me, John,

68
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: even if Trump loses every issue and get it, gets

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: his clock claimed on this, I think is going to

70
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: be behind him. They don't care about due process stuff.

71
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: These these guys are gang bangers. We're supporting terrorist organizations.

72
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Get him out of here, send them to the supermacs,

73
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, whether you you know, treat them nicely and

74
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: give them their Miranda warnings or not.

75
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 3: I haven't run into a single person who's upset that

76
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 3: we cleaned out two hundred and sixty one violent criminal

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: illegal aliens. I mean, there's zero consistent constituents constituency for them,

78
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: outside of maybe some ACLU lawyers.

79
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: Well, I was going to say, that's because you have

80
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: been you know, getting going to high key with the

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: ACLU lawyers, because they're the ones literally who have been

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: filing this lawsuit, and you know, the bottom line is,

83
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm sure people don't like the idea of just willing

84
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: nilly grabbing folks off the street. And so what the

85
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: courts are going to do is figure out, you know,

86
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: what the proper rules are. And then there's the other issue.

87
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: The trial court judge is so angry in DC because

88
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: he said from the bench, don't send these people out

89
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: until we have another hearing in a week or so.

90
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: And Trump's position was, well, he didn't make a final

91
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: written rule, it's not in the computer on the docket.

92
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: And so off the planes go. And now these guys

93
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: are sitting in the supermax and El Salvador. Is some

94
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: judge going to say bring them back? And is the

95
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: judge going to say next week is going to be

96
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: hearing on whether the Trump lawyers and Trump himself defied

97
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: intentionally his order, in which case he could order people

98
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: to jail, find them in contempt of court. And that's

99
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: going to fuel the fire about whether there's a constitutional

100
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: crisis in America because Donald Trump is just spitting in

101
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: the idea in the eye of the judiciary by defining

102
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: their orders.

103
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: Then let's have a constitutional crisis. If one judge can

104
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: overrule a president who's trying to kick out two hundred

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 3: and sixty one violent illegal alien gang members.

106
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: Then let's have at it.

107
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: Let's let's see who does have the power here, because

108
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: I am I am astonished at to the lengths this this,

109
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: this crowd, this ACLU crowd, to give them one umbrella

110
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: title will go to defend these violent and illegal aliens.

111
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: I'm just these are these are the worst human beings

112
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 3: on the planet.

113
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: And then their data reference get go on, I was

114
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: going to see your reference a minute ago. To one judge,

115
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: it ties into a big issue, this whole national injunction deal.

116
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: Should one trial judge out of like hundreds in America

117
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: be able to control the conduct of a federal agency

118
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: operating nationwide? Now there's an argument for that. You know,

119
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: if an agency's conduct is bad, you know the Department

120
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: of Transportation of what it's bad everywhere, shouldn't it be stopped.

121
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: On the other hand, the arguments against it. I mean,

122
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: our system is based on the idea that if you're

123
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: a trial court judge and blocks in Mississippi or or

124
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: Receido or whatever, you've got limited power. You've got your court,

125
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: you control Supreme Court controls everybody. If you let one

126
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: judge issue a national injunction, you're going to get conflicting

127
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: rulings about an agency's right. You're going to have encouraging

128
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: judge shopping. Oh, you know, go to a blue district

129
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: or a red district. So the now Jim Jordan in

130
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: the House, he wants a law pass is going to

131
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: be hearing next week to ban national junction, so one

132
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: single judge can't tie up an entire federal agency's conduct.

133
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: There's also something ridiculous about if you go to a

134
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 3: Trump judge or a Bush judge, you'll get one decision.

135
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: You go to an Obama judge, you'll get another decision.

136
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: I mean that's you know, this is what undermines people's

137
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: confidence in the law because people think, well, there's one law.

138
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: There can't be three ways to interpret it here, and

139
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: it looks like there should only be one way. Illegal

140
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: alien criminal gang members, Yeah, a victim any way you

141
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: want as quickly as possible. I mean, they're not citizens,

142
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: they don't they're not on green cards, they don't have

143
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: special clearance to be here.

144
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: They came here to hurt people.

145
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. It's really sad that You can almost

146
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: always predict how a judge is going to make a

147
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: decision on the federal level based on whether the pointer

148
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: of the judge was a D or an R in

149
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: the White House. I mean, he's not supposed to be

150
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: like that. They're supposed to just do justice. And as

151
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: much as the Chief Justice sayes, well we all have

152
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: any Obama judges or Bush judges, the statistics bear out

153
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: that that's how they do it. But what are you

154
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: going to do? The most political creatures on the planet,

155
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: presidents of the United States get to appoint every single

156
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: judge or justice, Supreme Court or appeals trial court, and

157
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: they you know, it's their friends. It's the payback that

158
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: people who give a bunch of money say hey, I

159
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: want the bill on the bench, and they get bill

160
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: on the bench, and guess how they vote for the

161
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: next twenty thirty years until unless you're David Souter, in

162
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: which case you know you obviously had a case of

163
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: dementia hitting because he ended up voting with the Liberals

164
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: even though the Bush appointed it.

165
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: But you know, the way the law handles this trend,

166
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 3: you Wagua gang or matters Sarvatusha gang. It just seems

167
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: so obsolete because these this is the modern day warfare

168
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 3: that we're dealing with here. We're not worried that the

169
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: Mexican military is going to invade us. We're worried about

170
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: the Mexican drug cartels invading us with their weapon, for example,

171
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: is fentanyl, and they kill one hundred thousand people, right,

172
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: And that's a drug cartel problem. And they're heavily armed

173
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 3: and heavily organized like a country's military. Same thing with

174
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: Trenda Wagua. They organized in venezuel In prisons, and they

175
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 3: commit a lot of atrocities, killings, and rapes here in

176
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: this country.

177
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: So I.

178
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: Don't know why we.

179
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: Can't use like the Alien Act from seventeen ninety eight,

180
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: measures that were declared to deal with warlike situations. It

181
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: seems this fits the bill.

182
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: Oh, you're absolutely right, And that's really the strength of

183
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: the Trump argument here. The executive has the power to

184
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: remove alleged terrorists. They have a right to protect the

185
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: country in extraordinary situations. It isn't just a formally declared war.

186
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: It's wherever that you know they're joining with the terrorists.

187
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: On the other hand, you know, the ACLUS is getting

188
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: some of the good feedback from some judges that think, well,

189
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to give everybody a totally fair

190
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: hearing in the Miranda warnings and so on, and you know,

191
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: this is old law only applies to a formal wartime,

192
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: and that's really what the US Supreme Court is probably

193
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: going to have to decide the next couple of months

194
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: after the lower court judges get through going through the

195
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: whole profile.

196
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: We never came up with a legal mechanism to deal

197
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: with terrorists, which is a form of warfare now in

198
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 3: the modern world. I mean, we still had all those

199
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 3: people sitting in Guantanamo Bay left over from Al.

200
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: Qaeda twenty five years ago.

201
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: We never dealt with those people in any kind of

202
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 3: justice system, and we didn't kill them.

203
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: That fight continues. That fight continues. I mean, the Guantanamo

204
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: Bay guys were still getting lawsuits from the ACLU about

205
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: how they're entitled their constitutional rights and so on. That

206
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: the statutes make it clear that in extraordinary times and

207
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: you've got terrorism and the cartels and the violence, you know,

208
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: you've got to have some special rules that to protect

209
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: the United States more than their criminal justice rights.

210
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: All right, Royal Oaks, ABC News legal correspondent. Thank you

211
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: for coming out again.

212
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: You bet, thanks all right?

213
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 3: When we come back, gotta got so much I want

214
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 3: to do. I want to tell you about this Wall

215
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: Street Journal article about Los Angeles going broke. In fact,

216
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: that's the headline, los Angeles goes for broke. Literally. We

217
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 3: talked earlier with Daniel Guss, the reporter, on why sixty

218
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: four million, sixty five million dollars is lost by the

219
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 3: Parking Enforcement Agency every year. Now that's the parking ticket agency.

220
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: They lose sixty five million a year sending out parking tickets. Well,

221
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: the whole city is going broke. All the departments are

222
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 3: going broke. You have no idea what a disaster Karen

223
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 3: Bass and the city council is, and all the heads

224
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 3: of all these city departments, they are disasters. They're broke,

225
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: and city services are already have gone to hell. It's

226
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: gonna get much worse. I'll tell you about it when

227
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: we come back.

228
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am six.

229
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: Forty moistline eight seven seven eighty six.

230
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: We're gonna do it Friday twice eight seven seven moist

231
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: eighty six, or use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.

232
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 3: We've been periodically focusing on the complete budget disaster in

233
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: the city of Los Angeles. It's broke, there's a billion

234
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: dollar budget hole and there's going In fact, the chief

235
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: administrative officer, one of the Karen Bassi's henchman, Matt Zebe,

236
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 3: said it's an extraordinary shortfall, and bass was warned, I

237
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 3: cannot comprehend and I don't know how to explain the

238
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: depths of her incompetence. But we have a city controller

239
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: named Kenneth Mahia, so he's in charge of the money.

240
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: Kenneth Mahia is from the Democratic Socialists of America Party.

241
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 3: I mean, these are out and out, unabashed socialists. They

242
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: don't hide, they don't use euphemisms. They're socialists. They run

243
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 3: on it, and they've made significant inroads in Los Angeles.

244
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 3: We have four city council members who are members of

245
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: the DSSAY, and we have a city controller. The guy

246
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 3: handling the money is a socialist, so ordinarily that would

247
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 3: be frightening, but he's the only one in government telling

248
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: the truth about how bad it is, and that is

249
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 3: frightening when you have to rely on the socialist to

250
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: give you the straight answer.

251
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 2: He wrote a letter to Karen Bass last year. Do

252
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: we know if she knows how to read?

253
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: Even the letter said, deficits for years to come will

254
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 3: force wrenching choices which are not the result of a

255
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: sudden economic downturn, but the culmination of years of short

256
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: term budget balancing using accounting gimmicks, things like eliminating vacant positions.

257
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: The new police contract they signed will add nearly a

258
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: billion dollars in extra costs over the next four years.

259
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: There'll be increases in compensation for police management. They signed

260
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 3: five year agreements with other unions that he wrote will

261
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: have an even larger budget impact, putting budget projections deeply

262
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: in the red for the next five years. So you

263
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 3: can assume that all these unions pay it a lot

264
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: of bride money to Karen Bass's campaign committee and all

265
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 3: the other city council members, and they all these unions

266
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: got the contract of their dreams. Karen Bass, I don't

267
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 3: know if she can do math. I don't know what

268
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 3: she's capable of doing intellectually, because if you read if

269
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: you had the mayor's job and you read his you

270
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: know he's a socialist. You know he's telling you that

271
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 3: you're bankrupting the play and it's going to be bankrupt

272
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: for the next five years. If you sign these deals

273
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: and you do it anyway.

274
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: Do you not read? Can you not do math? That's

275
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: the only excuse.

276
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 3: Actually, if she couldn't read Kenneth Mahea's email or his report,

277
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: I should say, and there was no one around to

278
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,239
Speaker 3: read it to her. And she signs all these contracts

279
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: and I assume she doesn't do math well because he

280
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 3: said clearly, look, this puts us deeply into the red. Well,

281
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: what is the excuse for signing these deals? Tax revenue

282
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: is declining? Business taxes are down, sales taxes down, real

283
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: estate transfer taxes down.

284
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: By the way, business and sales taxes that go hand

285
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 2: in hand. You know how many.

286
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 3: Businesses closed starting with that stupid COVID shutdown from the governor,

287
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: exasper exacerbated by.

288
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 2: Local COVID shutdowns.

289
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: And then they allowed all that rioting to go on

290
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 3: over George Floyd, which was stupid. Unnecessary rioting was allowed,

291
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 3: unnecessary closing over COVID. And I read one restaurant I

292
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: read about the other day. They never recovered from COVID.

293
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 3: It's five years later, they still only have ten percent

294
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 3: of their business. I don't know why people don't go

295
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 3: back other places people returned. Then you have these mandatory

296
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: minimum wage laws that causes prices to go up considerably.

297
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: That hurts business, I mean they oh, and let's talk

298
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: about all the shoplifting. How many stores went out of

299
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: business because of shoplifting. I mean San Francisco's entire downtown,

300
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: huge chunk of Santa Monica out of business because of shoplifting.

301
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: Then you have the homeless people, people terrified to walk

302
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: the streets to shop, terrified to go to restaurants because

303
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 3: they're afraid they're going to get hit in the head

304
00:16:56,200 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: with a pipe from some mentally ill, drug addicted vagrant.

305
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 3: Los Angeles currently a Wall Street Journal Los Angeles's unemployment

306
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 3: rate six percent. That is higher than any state in

307
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 3: the Union, higher than even Puerto Rico. The city of

308
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 3: Los Angeles has the worst unemployment rate in the country

309
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: compared to every other state, the District of Columbia and

310
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: Puerto Rico six percent. High taxes, excessive regulations. The minimum

00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 3: wage law here is seventeen twenty eight. Do you know

312
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 3: how much they've lost in lawsuits? Three hundred million this year,

313
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty million last year. Lawsuits anything from

314
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 3: a cop beating a guy up to somebody tripping over

315
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: a sidewalk crack because the tree has pushed up the

316
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 3: sidewalk and nobody's fixed it, and extreme mismanagement by an

317
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 3: idiot for a mayor and a collection of idiots on

318
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 3: the city council. And they still haven't told us what

319
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: started the fire in the Palisades. By the way, all

320
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 3: this was in place before the Palisades fire. Kenneth Behea's

321
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: letter was last year. Now they're going to do out

322
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 3: without a tremendous amount of tax revenue from one of

323
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: the wealthiest areas of the city, but nobody talks about it,

324
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 3: and nobody asked them.

325
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

326
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 4: six forty.

327
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 3: If you go on Instagram, there's a photo of me

328
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: with the Phillies' Best Cheese Steak that I heard before

329
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: the show.

330
00:18:54,520 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure you're dying to see that. That's great. Today's

331
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: National Cheese Steak Day. Yes it is. You enjoyed yours.

332
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: I don't celebrate any of these stupid Facebook holidays, but

333
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 3: you know there's always people talking about them. But I

334
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: mean an exception for National Cheese Steak Day, because I

335
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: got a free cheese steak all Bob Levy from Philly's

336
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: Best He runs the one on Melrose Avenue and he

337
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 3: also owns one on all Of Avenue here in Burbank,

338
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: which I go to frequently. Yes, he brought a whole

339
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 3: box full, a couple of boxes full of cheese, very

340
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 3: generous and even gave Deborah a fake.

341
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 5: Like it wasn't fake. It had mushrooms and peppers and

342
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 5: yummy bread. It just didn't have cheese, and which I

343
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 5: was extremely pleased.

344
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, anyway, Bob, thank you very much, thank you.

345
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: I ate the whole thing. You could see. There's a

346
00:19:53,160 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 3: photo of it on Instagram before I ate it. Now

347
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: let me I was telling you about how stupid Karen

348
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 3: Bass apparently cannot read and cannot count because last year

349
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: the socialist controller Kenneth Mahea wrote her a letter saying,

350
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 3: don't if you if you sign all these contracts for

351
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 3: the unions giving them these huge pay increases, benefit increases,

352
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: we're going to be deeply in the red for the

353
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 3: next five years, wouldn't you know it?

354
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: She signed them all.

355
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: And now Maheea is announcing we got a billion dollar deficit, right,

356
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 3: and they're gonna have to cut thousands of thousands of jobs.

357
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 3: I mean, they are going to have to do the

358
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: Elon Musk doge on the city of Los Angeles. This

359
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 3: is so funny, and I'm sure there's gonna be a

360
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 3: lot of protests and they're gonna be burning cars right

361
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: when Karen Bass starts eliminating government workers by the thousands.

362
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 2: In Sacramento, Aven Newsom, who.

363
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: Might be the second stupidest politician in the state, and

364
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 3: he's dope enough to be running for president, he's stuck

365
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 3: with a large deficit. In fact, I read today it's

366
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: supposedly seventy six billion dollars. They're not telling the truth,

367
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 3: but behind the scenes, the story is it's seventy six

368
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: billion dollars and a good percentage of that is healthcare

369
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: for illegal aliens. We have millions of illegal aliens and

370
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,479
Speaker 3: they decided to give over the years medical to all

371
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 3: of them. It started ten years ago. Jerry Brown said, okay,

372
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 3: medical for children. Then Newsom said, well, medical for seniors,

373
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 3: and then it was medical for everybody.

374
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: Now medical.

375
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 3: Is our version of medicaid that our government has medicaid,

376
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 3: we have medical You know how many people are on

377
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 3: medical fifteen million in California, fifteen million, almost forty percent

378
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: of the population, fifty percent of the children. Fifty percent

379
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 3: of the children. We have to pay for their healthcare.

380
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 3: And several million are illegal aliens. And new some plan

381
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: to spend six billion dollars on medical for illegal aliens.

382
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 3: It's now turned out to be twelve billion. He got

383
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 3: the legislature to add an extra three billion to carry

384
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 3: us through June, and then he had to borrow three

385
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 3: and a half billion to pay the bills through the

386
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 3: end of this month. So that's six billion budgeted, another

387
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 3: six billion in extra costs. We're looking at a total

388
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 3: of about twelve and a half billion dollars just for

389
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 3: illegal alien health care. And he has a budget that's

390
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 3: seventy six billion dollars in debt, and there's nobody to

391
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 3: bail him out. See, the federal government matches state spending

392
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 3: for legal residents, but not for illegal aliens unless there's

393
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: an emergency. California is on its own to provide health

394
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 3: care for illegal aliens. So some of this is from

395
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 3: George Skelton's La Times Colm So, who thinks that's a

396
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: good idea. Who thinks it's a great idea to have

397
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 3: open borders. You know, half of all the illegal immigrants

398
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: come to California, half of them whatever comes piling over

399
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 3: the border. Half And why wouldn't they come here? Because

400
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 3: you get free healthcare for the rest of your life.

401
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: How many people do you know stayed in dead end

402
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 3: jobs they hated, but they couldn't afford to give up

403
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 3: the benefits for themselves and their family, the healthcare benefits.

404
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: I've heard that since I was a kid. People angry

405
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 3: and frustrated really that they hit a dead end in life,

406
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: but they had obligations. They had family, wives, husbands, children.

407
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: Biden's policy was so bad that even Bernie Sanders is

408
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: speaking out against it. Bernie said, this is funny. We

409
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,479
Speaker 3: got a socialist who's the city and controller telling us

410
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: the truth about overspending. We've got the socialist presidential candidate

411
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 3: telling us the truth about the border. You get the

412
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: feeling if we elected the socialists, we might be in

413
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: a better place than these sick oh progressives.

414
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: Listen to I'm gonna play cut number two.

415
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: This is Bernie Sanders on this week, John Carl, the

416
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 3: reporter for ABC News, asking if Trump had done anything

417
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: right while being in office. See what Bernie said at two.

418
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: Eric tut too. Is there anything that you think Trump

419
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: has done right?

420
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think cracking down on fetanol, making

421
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 6: sure our borders are stronger. Look, nobody thinks illegal immigration

422
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 6: is appropriate. Now I have to think we need comprehensive

423
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 6: immigration reform. But I don't think it it's appropriate for

424
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 6: people to be coming across the border illegally. So we've

425
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 6: got to work now on comprehensive immigration reform. The idea

426
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 6: that Trump has, I don't know what his latest number size.

427
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 6: He wants to deport twenty million people who are in

428
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 6: this country who are undocumented. Well, you do that, you

429
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 6: destroy the entire country. Because I got news for you,

430
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 6: Trump's billionaire friends. I'm not going to pick the crops

431
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 6: in California that feed us. They're not going to work

432
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 6: in meat packing houses. That's what undocumented people are doing.

433
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 6: So we need a variety of programs, guess worker programs,

434
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 6: but mostly you have some immigration reform.

435
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 7: But you know, illegal immigration, it exploded under Biden, and

436
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 7: it had been high for times under Trump as well.

437
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: But it exploded.

438
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 7: Under Biden, nothing was really done until his last year

439
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 7: in office when he was.

440
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 6: Should have done much better.

441
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: No argument, Yeah, no argument, no argument, because there's incredibly

442
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: stupid and half of them come to California.

443
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 2: And it's funny.

444
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 3: Sanders said a couple of times, nobody's for illegal immigration,

445
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: nobody's for open borders.

446
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom is.

447
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom is two left wing for Bernie Sanders. And

448
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: the reason nobody normal wants legal immigration starts with you

449
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: can't pay for it. And that's why Newsom has blown

450
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: twelve billion dollars of your tax money on illegal aliens

451
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: and he miscalculated by six billion. Another guy who can't

452
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 3: do math, just like Karen Bass.

453
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: This is the last hour.

454
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 3: Only the socialists have made sense. Only Kenneth Mahea and

455
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders have made sense. The actual governor in mayor

456
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 3: of California, the mayor of Los Angeles. Idiots.

457
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: But what's that term we were talking about last week?

458
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 2: Proficient in reading?

459
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 3: You know, only thirty percent of California students are proficient

460
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 3: in reading. Only thirty percent are proficient in math. That's

461
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: Newsom or any other seventy percent not proficient in reading

462
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 3: in math.

463
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 2: Wow.

464
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 3: Hey, if Bernie Sanders is telling you to sit down, Newsom,

465
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 3: maybe you ought to sit down stop doing stupid stuff.

466
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: Can't wait till he runs for president. I'm gonna make

467
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: a prediction. I don't make political predictions very often, but

468
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom is going to run one of the most

469
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: embarrassing presidential campaigns anybody he's ever seen, because he is

470
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 3: going to get so much crap from the other Democrats. First,

471
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 3: he's never going to get the nomination, and he's the

472
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 3: only one who doesn't know it.

473
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: We're just fascinating.

474
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

475
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 4: six forty.

476
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: Once again thanks to the people over at Philly's Best.

477
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: Bob Levy, who runs Melrose Philly's Best. He's got another

478
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 3: one on Olive Avenue.

479
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 2: Here.

480
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 3: We all got free Chief steaks from Philly's Best, and

481
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: I want to get more, so I'm going to keep

482
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 3: mentioning them.

483
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 2: Connye's up in minutes.

484
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: You know.

485
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: One of the happiest news stories the last week was

486
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: hearing that Scott Peterson was beaten up in prison during

487
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: a pickleball game. He did something that pissed off one

488
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: of the other pickleball players, and it looks like he

489
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: smashed into Charles Mills, another felon, during a game at

490
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 3: Mule Creek State Prison, and Mills was I guess you

491
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: could call it triggered. In fact, Mills said he went

492
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: into full attack mode. This is why these guys should

493
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: never be let out of prison, because they had bad

494
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: brainwiring and it doesn't take much stress for them to

495
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: go crazy. Peterson sprinted at Mills aggressively with his paddle

496
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 3: in hand, trying to chase down the ball, made no

497
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 3: effort to avoid a collision, so Mills said he beat

498
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: Peterson to the ground, jumped on top of him, and

499
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: beat the hell out of him. A primal urge overcame

500
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: him when he saw Peterson charging towards Mills, and of

501
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: course Peterson's also a convicted killer, so they had to

502
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 3: separate and put in separate cells. They didn't make up

503
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 3: later during a two hour conversation. Peterson has enough money,

504
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: according to Mills, to pay other inmates to take revenge,

505
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: and so that's why Mills was willing to take peace.

506
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: Maybe he's got enough money to pay other inmates com Sarry, Yeah,

507
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: but what is his family money that they're sending him. Yeah,

508
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: or he's got like snacks and stuff that he uses

509
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: as money, money to barter. Yeah, so this, you know,

510
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: he buys protection for himself. Well, I hope he got

511
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 3: a good, real thorough beating Conway.

512
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 7: Hey, wouldn't it be great if kf I was more

513
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 7: like prison? Not that it could be anymore like prison,

514
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 7: but no. What like a bag of chips? You can

515
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 7: give a guy a bag of chips, they'll beat the

516
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 7: hell out of another guy.

517
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 2: I'd do that make it more interesting around here. Yeah,

518
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: I'd hire people. I'd hire That's right. I get Ray

Speaker 7: fact that I just show up, nobody else will and

558
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,000

559
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 7: in that parade in San Juan Capistrano and as I'm

560
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 7: in a cart, a white cart with a horse drawn

561
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,120

563
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 7: dig dog like fifty times. But the other fifty thousand

564
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 7: people have no idea who this is. It's limited fame, right,

565
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 7: they don't know, you know, they see Tim Conway like

566
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:01,800

567
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 6: You know.

568
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,479

00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 7: own lives. Yeah, and look, and I think that's healthy.

00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: It is, it is.

571
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: They shouldn't be.

572
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 7: But but the driver of the card said, hey, I've
