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

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio

3
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: app live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Especially for those

Speaker 2: you are not listening and you're missing this, go to

Speaker 2: the radio show, and you pick up whatever you missed

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: out on. That's only for people not listening right now.

10
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: This actually just this story just broke a short time ago,

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: and I want to get right to this.

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Would you believe Debor just told me.

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: Today's the fifth anniversary since Governor Newsom announced the lockdown,

14
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: like the Big Lockdown, this stay at home order, And

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: to celebrate this special day, Newsom today insisted to reporters

16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: that he is going to keep spending wildly on illegal

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 2: alien healthcare, even though it appears it bankrupting the state.

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: If you've been following this story, it's been a slow build.

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: But a few weeks ago it was revealed that Newsom

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 2: had had planned to spend six billion dollars on illegal

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: alien healthcare. Then it was over nine billion, and he

22
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: had to take out a three and a half billion

23
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: dollar loan. Now they're another three billion dollars short. So

24
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: it looks like this illegal alien healthcare is over twelve

25
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: billion dollars, double what they thought it would be. Listen

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: to this report from Ashley Zavala from KCRA in Sacramento.

27
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: This week, the governor asked lawmakers to approve another two

28
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: point eight billion dollar loan on top of the loan

29
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: he got last week for three point four billion dollars.

30
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: So California is now making up a six point two

31
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: billion dollar shortfall for its medical finds. This money is

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: meant to keep the state's medical program funded through June.

33
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: State lawmakers recently expanded this program that provides health care

34
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: to low income people, to all Californians, regardless of immigration status.

35
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: But Governor Newsom's administration and Democratic state lawmakers underestimated just

36
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: how much that program would cost this year alone. They

37
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: estimated it would cost six billion dollars, but at last check,

38
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 3: the cost is now estimated to be nine point five

39
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: billion by July. That's just an estimate. The federal government

40
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: financially helps with medical programs, but obviously the state does

41
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: not expect the Trump administration to help with the health

42
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: care for indocumented people, but the governor refuses to solely

43
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: blame the expensive cost to the state of providing it.

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 3: I asked him about this today. Is there anything you

45
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: can share about just the undocumented healthcare expansion and how

46
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: that's contributing to what's happening right now?

47
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: That's partial.

48
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 4: You've seen in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Indiana that don't have that expansion,

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 4: even more sizeable supplementals into their Medicaid system. This was

50
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: something we previewed in the January budget. It's something that

51
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 4: I previewed in separate conversations.

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: With other governors.

53
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: It was highlighted actually in December at the Democratic Governors

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: Association as an issue we were seeing.

55
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay, sad you see how slick he is.

56
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: Trust me.

57
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: This entire shortfall is because of illegal alien healthcare. The

58
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: whole thing, illegal alien health care is costing state taxpayers

59
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: over twelve billion dollars. They're six billion short because they

60
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: didn't know how many illegal aliens they had in the state.

61
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: Right almost by definition, we don't know how many are here.

62
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: How do you count people aren't supposed to be here, right,

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: So it's twelve and a half billion dollars. So he says, well,

64
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: it's partial. And I noticed he does this. There is

65
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: a pattern to his deception into his lives. He starts

66
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 2: talking about other states. It's always like, well, they had

67
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: a problem in Pennsylvania. Well, they had a problem in Indiana.

68
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: Trust me, there's not an illegal alien problem in Pennsylvania

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: and Indiana. So he's trying to make it sound like, well,

70
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: you know, there's shortfalls all over the country for all

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: kinds of reasons. We talked about this at the at

72
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: the Governor's at the Governor's conference. In other words, everybody's

73
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 2: got different problems. In ours happens to be illegal aliens.

74
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: But even if there weren't illegal aliens, we'd you see

75
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 2: what he does. He confuses the situation. He puts the

76
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 2: whole thing in a blender until your head starts to spin.

77
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: You forget what the original question was. He is doing

78
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: something incredibly stupid. There are probably, I don't know, three

79
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: four million illegal aliens in the state, more than that

80
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: because after the Biden surge. Who knows, right, is it

81
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: five million, six million? Nobody knows. He doesn't know. That's

82
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: why they can't budget for this, and so this is

83
00:04:55,279 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: really blown a hole in the budget, and he's six.

84
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: And a half billion short.

85
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: Now he's borrowing money, which is going to cost an interest,

86
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: and now they're going to have to take money out

87
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: of what rainy day funds, special reserves, start cut programs

88
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: that taxpayers benefit from. This is insanity. No sane person

89
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 2: would blow twelve billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare, just

90
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: any random person walking onto California land.

91
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: Why would you do this with all.

92
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: The things that are screwed up in the state, Why

93
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: would you do this so much for him passing himself

94
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: off as this moderate guy trying to find common ground,

95
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: you know, to be more centrist. Talk to Republicans, right

96
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 2: wing activists on my podcast. Yes, although he's not fooling

97
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 2: many people talk about that later play the rest of

98
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: this story.

99
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 4: Democratic Governors Association as an issue we were seeing across

100
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: the country. So all of that is exactly as we

101
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: advertise in January.

102
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: We're working through that.

103
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: The good news you've seen the revenues in the state

104
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 4: we're collecting are above projections. The economy continues to be

105
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: remarkably resilient.

106
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: This is the last of the loan requests from your

107
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: administration for the year.

108
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 5: Do you think, Yeah, And you've seen this in the past.

109
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: This is we've done.

110
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 4: These letters the legislature, We've done these supplementals in the past.

111
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 4: As I said, I noted four states that I'm just

112
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: more familiar.

113
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 5: With any of the immigrant healthcare.

114
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: That's not on. It's not on my doctor.

115
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: But that said, everything's the reality.

116
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: The reality play that back.

117
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: If you didn't hear the question, it's about whether they're

118
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: going to uh stop providing legal immigrant health care.

119
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: And I noted four states that I'm just more familiar.

120
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 5: With rolling back any of the immigrant healthcare.

121
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: That's not on. It's not on my doctor.

122
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 4: But that said, everything the realities are the realities. You

123
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 4: have to balance budgets. We balance our budget, revenues holding up.

124
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: I don't see anything significant along the lines of what some.

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: Have asserted, but I do see the need to make.

126
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 4: Adjustments and changes broadly in the Medicaid system.

127
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: Again, the governor there noting that he's likely not going

128
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: to roll back that program that provides healthcare to undocumented

129
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: people here in California. But meanwhile, Republicans are blaming Democrats

130
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 3: for creating financial insecurity with the state's important healthcare program.

131
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: As some of the men Carl Demayo told reporters today,

132
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: state leaders need to immediately rescind the healthcare for undocumented

133
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: people because he says the state simply cannot afford it.

134
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: That answer was double slick as he went on. He says, well,

135
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: you have to make changes and adjustments, but he's not

136
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: going to roll back illegal alien healthcare. So then who's

137
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: healthcare you're rolling back. There's two categories here, legal citizens

138
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: entitled by law for government subsidized, government paid healthcare under

139
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: medicals is for the poorest people in California, although I

140
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: think like about twenty five percent of the state is

141
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 2: in poverty, so it's a lot of people. We have

142
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: a huge medical bill. But he says he's not going

143
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: to make any changes to illegal alien health care. But

144
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: there's going to be changes, so I guess citizens have

145
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: to take it, have to take it in the shirts. Again,

146
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: it's going to affect Americans healthcare in California, but not

147
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 2: people who came in god knows what country.

148
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: Does that include the criminals?

149
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 2: By the way, since this is a sanctuary state and

150
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,359
Speaker 2: Newsom is actively harboring as is Karen Bass, thousands of criminals,

151
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: like convicted criminals. It's been documented. They're the criminals here,

152
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 2: the criminals in the home country. They're going to get

153
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: their healthcare paid. We got to pay for their gunshot wounds.

154
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: I guess in the emergency room. And yeah, Trump's administration

155
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: is not going to pay for this. So the gap

156
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 2: is going to get even wider. They've taken a federal

157
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: program that's partly funded by the federal government, expanded it

158
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 2: to illegal aliens, all of whom were breaking the law.

159
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: They're blowing twelve billion dollars. They got a six billion

160
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: dollars shortfall. And he's not going to run. Not on

161
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: my docket, is what he said. He is crazy, he

162
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 2: is insane and all his bull crap about his podcast.

163
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: And we've got to be more moderate, we got to

164
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: be more centrist. I got to hear the other side.

165
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: I have to engage. It's just full of crap. It's

166
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: to try to manipulate stupid people. You'd have to be

167
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 2: stupid to buy anything from this guy. Oh my god,

168
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 2: twelve What could we do with twelve billion dollars in

169
00:09:58,920 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: this state?

170
00:09:59,320 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: Huh?

171
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: What can we do with twelve billion dollars that he

172
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 2: gave a way to people who broke in over the border.

173
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 2: They have no legal claim, no legal right to anything,

174
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: and Gavin's given him twelve billion dollars of your money.

175
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: And you get up every day and you go to

176
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: work and Chunky, your paycheck is going to foreigners coming

177
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: over the border, breaking the law, and he's all smug

178
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,359
Speaker 2: and arrogant about it because he's morally superior.

179
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

180
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,479

Speaker 2: Moistline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven

182

183
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio at the Moistline is coming back Friday. I

184
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: just told you about and we just played a report

185
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: from KCRTV in Sacramento that Governor Newsom is not going

186
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: to roll back his illegal alien healthcare program even though

187
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 2: they blew through their budget by six billion dollars.

188
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 1: They thought it would.

189
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: Cost six billion, now it's costing twelve billion. They don't

190
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: have the money they needed to borrow three and a

191
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: half billion dollars just to get to the end of

192
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: this month. That's how short they are now. He's asking

193
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: the legislature to find another three billion to get through

194
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 2: June total financial disaster. But when he was asked, are

195
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: you going to roll back the illegal alien health care program?

196
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: He says, not on my docket. And I told you.

197
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: In order to finance illegal alien health care, everybody else

198
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: has got to get screwed, right, all the other taxpayers.

199
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: You know who gets screwed. Right at the top of

200
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: the list, military veterans in California.

201
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: Since Newsom likes to.

202
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: Point out other states, like he said, well, other states

203
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: like Pennsylvania and Indiana are having these medicaid problems. Well,

204
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: do you know forty nine states in the Union give

205
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 2: some kind of tax exemption for military retirement income, you know,

206
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: military pensions. If you're in the military and you're on

207
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: a military pension, in forty nine states, you get some

208
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: kind of tax exemption on that income.

209
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: M the fiftieth state.

210
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 2: Guess which state is the only state in the Union

211
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: that doesn't give a tax exemption to military veterans. Yes,

212
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 2: that would be California. You cannot get a one dollar

213
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 2: tax break from the state of California. You've got to

214
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: pay full California taxes on your military pension. Yes, yes,

215
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 2: that's this.

216
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: This is what makes me crazy.

217
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: You know, the the cheap patriotism, the cheap military support

218
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: that we have in this country. It's when it comes

219
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: to you know, everybody stands for the national anthem in

220
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: the flag, everybody stands when the mility terry guy is

221
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: getting honored at a baseball game. Right, Everybody says thank

222
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: you for your service all the time. But in real

223
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: life they get the back of the hand, they get

224
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 2: smacked in the face. You saw how many veterans lived

225
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: for four years in front of the VA. They were homeless,

226
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 2: they were living in tents. Took four years to give

227
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: him a tiny home on the other side of the

228
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: fence in West la.

229
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: Well, look at this.

230
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: California is the only state in the Union that does

231
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: not provide tax exemptions for military retirement income. And this

232
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 2: made cal Matters today calmatters dot org because they have tried.

233
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: Somebody in the legislature has tried for eight years. Eight

234
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: times they have submitted a bill to give a tax exemption,

235
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: and seven times it's lost. Newsom and the Democrats will

236
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 2: not give a tax exemption to military members, but they

237
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: will give tens of billions of dollars for legal alien

238
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: health care. And of course they don't want to give

239
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: the tax exemption. And what do they say, will cost money,

240
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: you know where we can't. We can't, we can't sacrifice

241
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: that money out of the budget. James Ramos is an

242
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: assembly member. Three times he's introduced this bill himself, and

243
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 2: it would allow veterans to exempt up to twenty thousand

244
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: dollars of their pensions if they make under one hundred

245
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: and twenty five thousand a year. Last year he wanted

246
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: to exempt all their income, all their retirement income. So

247
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: now he's down to all right, how at twenty thousand.

248
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: They won't do it.

249
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: In Sacramento, they give full medical benefits to any illegal

250
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 2: alien criminal in the state. You mentioned that full medical

251
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: benefits with medical but for the military, not a dollar

252
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: of their pension is exempted from state tax. State Senator

253
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: Kelly Sciarto, a Republican, introduced a similar bill in the Senate.

254
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: We have this is no small number.

255
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: We have almost a million and a half veterans in

256
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: California and one hundred and forty one thousand received retirement income.

257
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 2: Apparently veterans are leaving the state of California at a

258
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: higher rate than any other state in the country.

259
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: Wow, that adds up. Huh.

260
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: There is one state that doesn't have any tax exemptions

261
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: for their pension, and that same state has the most

262
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: military people fleeing. Twenty eight percent of military people have

263
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: either moved out or died in the last twenty years.

264
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: We used to have one hundred and ninety five thousand,

265
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: Now we have one hundred and forty thousand. According to

266
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: the president of the San Diego Military Advisory Council, David Boone,

267
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 2: veterans leave the state for many reasons. The primary factor, though,

268
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: is the cost of living. Military retirees only get twenty

269
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: nine thousand a year, and we want a tax exempt

270
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: that twenty nine thousand. It's about six hundred dollars from

271
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: each veteran. We won't give them the six hundred dollars break.

272
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: That's how much tax they have to pay, and we

273
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: won't give them the six hundred dollars break. But we're

274
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 2: blowing twelve billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare. But let

275
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: you you elect this guy, you elect this legislature. The

276
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: veterans got a smack in the face. The illegal aliens

277
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: free healthcare, including the criminals.

278
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: How shocking is this.

279
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: But you know, none of us know this, right, none

280
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: of this has ever covered until today. I never knew

281
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: we were the only state in the Union that didn't

282
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 2: give an a tax exemption for pensions military pensions.

283
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: Well, haven't you know.

284
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: Just in the last few weeks we've found out just

285
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 2: how many billions are blowing on illegal alien healthcare.

286
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: And the newsom was like, Wow, not on my docket.

287
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm not changing anything.

288
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 2: Never seen any more anyone more smug and self satisfied

289
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: and arrogant than him. All Right, we got a lot

290
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: coming up.

291
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 6: You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A

292
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 6: six forty.

293
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 2: We are on every day from one until four o'clock.

294
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: After four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the

295
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: iHeart Apping, you could listen to what you missed at

296
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: two o'clock. Trump says he's ending Secret Service protection for

297
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 2: Biden's adult children. Normally, normally, presidents, vice presidents and their

298
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 2: families are given Secret Service protection throughout their time in office,

299
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: and the presidents and the spouses can keep it for

300
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: the rest of their lives. But the question is now,

301
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: is Joe and Joe Biden's secret Service Protection. Next, we're

302
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: going to talk with Don Mahalik. He's a secret Service

303
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 2: agent who analyzes these sort of things. You may you

304
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: may have heard that if there's going to be a

305
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: recall of Karen Bass, Rick Caruso does not want to

306
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: be a part of it. He came out yesterday released

307
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: a statement that this is this is not a good

308
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: idea because he thinks everybody ought to focus on rebuilding

309
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 2: the Pades and all the other towns that have been affected.

310
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: He wrote, we must rebuild our communities, get people back

311
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: into their homes, and open businesses that have been closed

312
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 2: or lost. That must be her total focus. There's a

313
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: time and place for politics, but not now. It is

314
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 2: not now. That is that the recall is being led

315
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 2: by Nicole Shanahan, who used to be the running mate

316
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: of Robert F. Kennedy Junior back when he was running

317
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 2: for president. She is an extremely wealthy former tech executive

318
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 2: and she was financing RFK Junior. She's now financing the recall,

319
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: and the recall is not easy. You know, things are

320
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 2: obviously rigged in Los Angeles. We should have had Gascon recalled,

321
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 2: but the signatures fell just short. We should have had

322
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 2: Mike Bondam, the Westside councilman, recalled the signatures fell just short.

323
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: It's amazing how many different ways they find to throw

324
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: signature is out and the way the system is, it

325
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 2: takes so long to make your complaints heard in court that.

326
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: You might as well.

327
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 2: You might as well give up because then the next

328
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 2: election is going to arrive. And I think that's what

329
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: would happen here. If you think that whoever counts the

330
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: signatures on these recall petitions is going to do it, honestly,

331
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 2: you're out of your mind. The La City government, like

332
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: the La County government, is dishonest and corrupt right down

333
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: to their bone marrow.

334
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: They are.

335
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 2: That's the government. We have city council mostly corrupt. I

336
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: mean about a third of them are in jail or

337
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 2: prison and headed or headed to prison. So when you

338
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: have dishonest, cold blooded psychopaths, really, I mean, they don't

339
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 2: care what happens to the city as long as they're

340
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: getting their share. The odds of getting I think it's

341
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 2: this three hundred and thirty thousand signatures approved by Bass's government. Yeah,

342
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: good luck with that three hundred and thirty thousand. They'd

343
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: have to get him in four months too, so and

344
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 2: Caruso is reading it and realized he's actually the best

345
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: thing for his if he wants to run for mayor,

346
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: best thing for him to do is make a success

347
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: out of this organization he has set up to help

348
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: facilitate people who want to rebuild steadfast La and he's

349
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: trying to give them the tools so that they could

350
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: get back on their feet quicker. And if that's any

351
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: kind of a success, then that's a great thing to

352
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 2: run on, because he is literally is helping to rebuild

353
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: the city with his with his organization. But what happens

354
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: in a recall, and I think we all learned this

355
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: lesson with the Newsom recall. If you don't have a major,

356
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 2: real candidate, but you just have a bunch of people

357
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: you never heard of and a couple of nuts, you'll

358
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: get Larry Elder. You'll get Larry Elder completely screwing the

359
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 2: Newsom recall because he was the kind of guy that

360
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 2: most people don't like. You know what you needed to

361
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: do to be Gavin Newsom is have a normal guy, yeah,

362
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: a centrist, a moderate somebody without not an outrageous bomb

363
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 2: thrower that had a chance of beating Newsom. In fact,

364
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: the race was pretty close before Larry Elder jumped in,

365
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: and Larry Elder just inverted the whole thing because so

366
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: many people in California either already didn't like him or

367
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 2: they listened to him for about five minutes and then

368
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 2: decided not to like him. I it's just a bad idea,

369
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 2: and if that happens here, better to go through a

370
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:50,719
Speaker 2: real process.

371
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: Better go through a real primary process.

372
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: Because otherwise you could if you have a splintered field

373
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: and eleven people or one hundred and eleven people running,

374
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: you might get a nut squeaking out with the victory.

375
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: And and then and then you got Bass for another

376
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 2: four years, and you know, maybe she could burn down

377
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: Hollywood Next time also came out that Bass approved a

378
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: pay raise for Kristin Crowley before the Palisades fire. Gave

379
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: her a two and a half percent pay raise former

380
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: fire chief merit based pay raise. How about that? And uh,

381
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 2: this is before Bass started lying about her claiming that

382
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 2: she didn't get a personal weather update before the windstorm.

383
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: I can't believe that story is still on.

384
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: The record, right.

385
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: She hasn't been forced to tell the truth. I've been

386
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: forced to backtrack. From that absurdity. That's that's what we

387
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: get in a one party We have like a one

388
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: party media for the most part, there are some exceptions.

389
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 2: We have a one party state. So Karen Baskets spout

390
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: something just wildly absurd that she didn't get a personal

391
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 2: weather forecast and warning from Crowley, and everybody kind of

392
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 2: nods along. This is worth playing. This is from a

393
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: week ago. This is Bass talking to a radio reporter

394
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 2: that she still plans running for reelection.

395
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 5: We filed for reelection long before the.

396
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: Disaster.

397
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 5: Have there been any changes, There are no changes.

398
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: Still running.

399
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 5: I am here now and I am running.

400
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: And have you ever thought about stepping down amid all

401
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: of that?

402
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 7: Absolutely not. I would never quit on my city. This

403
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 7: is where I was born and raised. Did I know

404
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 7: this was a difficult job? Absolutely? Am I ready for

405
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 7: the job?

406
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 5: Most definitely. Would you be able to emotionally accept an

407
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 5: election loss?

408
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 7: Well, I mean anybody that runs for office. If you're

409
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 7: not emotionally ready to accept that, then you're in the

410
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 7: wrong business.

411
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 2: What a pile of horse species that was. What a

412
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 2: bunch of cliches and platitudes. I'm not gonna quit on

413
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: my city. I'll abandon the city while it burns down.

414
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: But I'm not gonna quit on it when it comes

415
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: time for reelection. And she emotionally accept the loss?

416
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: Who cares?

417
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: People have to emotionally accept their entire lives being destroyed?

418
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: The hell? Like what goes on? Could you?

419
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: Could you treat her any softer? Could you be more

420
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 2: cuddling and warm?

421
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: Oh? My god?

422
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 2: Like she's a fragile doll? Can you emotionally accept the loss?

423
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: Be sure you're gonna be okay, I'm not gonna quit

424
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 2: on my city. You did already, that's the thing she

425
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,719
Speaker 2: already did. And well, I forgot how many eight eight thousand?

426
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 2: It was about five six thousand homes burn, So you

427
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 2: already quit on the city.

428
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: But you've just got this, you know, colossal? I would

429
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: you got this colossal ego? Yeah? Go ahead, play it again.

430
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 7: I would never quit on my city.

431
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: How about if we get on our hands and knees

432
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 2: and beg you pretty please?

433
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: Would you quit on the city.

00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 5: I would never quit on my city.

435
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 1: Please quit on us.

436
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 5: I would never quit on my city.

437
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: No one's going to hold it against you, Okay.

00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 5: I would never quit on my city.

439

Speaker 2: They're going to hold it against you that you took

440
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: off for Africa when there was those fire warnings. That's

441
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,359
