1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: Can't. I am six forty. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. 3 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 2: We are on from one till four o'clock every day 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 2: and after four o'clock if you missed stuff, and we've 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: had quite a show already, you've got to listen to 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 2: two o'clock. Howery, we talked with a possible Democrat. Well 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: he is running for a governor, not impossible, a real 8 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,319 Speaker 2: candidate for governor on the Democratic side, Stephen Klubeck, a 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: businessman who's about as straight talking as you're going to find. 10 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 2: He's not a Gavenus style Democrat, far from it. So 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: you ought to listen to Stephen Klubeck on the iHeartRadio podcast. 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 2: Coming up after two o'clock. Now we're going to talk 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: to Kevin Kylie. Kevin was in the state legislature for 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: many years and made the jump to congressman, and now 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: he's going after high speed rail from his office in Washington, 16 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: d C. Because there's nobody here in California is doing 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: anything about it. And Kylie has put in a request 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 2: to the FBI director Cash Battel to investigate high speed 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 2: rail because, as he puts it, it's seventeen years, there's 20 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: no track, no trains, and thirteen billion dollars gone. 21 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: Let's get Kevin kylie on. How are you doing well? 22 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: How are you John? 23 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm all right. You joined life in Washington. 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, you know, it's certainly an interesting time going on, 25 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 3: and it's different than California a lot way. 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I could imagine. 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 2: I've been looking at your letter that you wrote to 28 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: a Cash Patel ahead of the FBI, and one line 29 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: really struck me. The New York Times reported that, according 30 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: project to projections used by engineers and project managers, this 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: train could not be completed in this century, like it 32 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 2: could not be completed before the year twenty one hundred. 33 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 3: Correct, And this is the New York Times, you. 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: Know, yeah exactly, And I'm thinking, well, just about you know, 35 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: most people listening are going to be dead, and the 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: thing still may not be completed. 37 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 3: Right, I mean exactly, And so like seventy five years 38 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 3: from now. They told us initially it was going to 39 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 3: be done in twenty twenty. Right, y eight, this thing passes, 40 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 3: it's going to be thirty three billion dollars. It's going 41 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: to be done in twenty twenty. You'll have smooth saline. 42 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: It's going to be an easy ride from La to 43 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: San Francisco. Here we are, it's twenty twenty five. The 44 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 3: cost is the loon die over a hundred billion, even 45 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 3: the first segment, which you know they've moved this around 46 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: a lot, but it's baker Steel to Merced. The Inspector 47 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 3: General just said a couple of weeks ago they're going 48 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 3: to miss their deadline, so that that deadline was twenty 49 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 3: thirty three. So we've gone from the whole thing was 50 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: going to be done in twenty twenty, so we're not 51 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 3: even going to make the first segment by twenty thirty three. Meanwhile, 52 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: the cost is absolutely exploded, and they continue to throw 53 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: billions into this sinkhole and no one can tell us 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 3: where all this money went. 55 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: Nobody even talks about it. 56 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what we're hoping to have the FBI 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: take a look at. 58 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: Where do you think it's going? Do you think they're 59 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: stealing it? 60 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: Well, there are certainly a lot of questions, and so 61 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: that's why we felt that the FBI's Public Integrity Unit 62 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: was well suited to the task. And you know, at 63 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 3: this point, there's something like seventeen billion that has actually 64 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 3: been spent and you just look around and say, okay, 65 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 3: what what where has that money gone? What have we 66 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 3: gotten in return for it? It's incredible. If you follow 67 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 3: the high Speed Rail Authority's account on x it's almost 68 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: like a parody. Whenever they do something that's you know, 69 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: not oppressive at all, but they feel like they need 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: to show progress on something, they'll say, okay, here it 71 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 3: is after fifteen years, we've built one bridge to nowhere. 72 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: This is what we are unveiling. So it's crazy. I mean, 73 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: the authority itself has had five CEOs. By this point. 74 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: There have been zero passengers, but there have been five 75 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: CEOs of the rail authority. And you know, it's not 76 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: like high speed trains are impossible to build. One of 77 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 3: the early operators in California, Yeah, they actually left early 78 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: on said we cannot build this year. It's too politically dysfunctional. 79 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: We need to go someplace that's less politically dysfunctional. So 80 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 3: they went to North Africa and they brought a high 81 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: speed train online in Morocco in twenty eighteen, seven years ago, 82 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 3: and it continues to operate to this day. 83 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: I have been on high speed trains in Japan and 84 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 2: in Italy and they are great and they go two 85 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: hundred miles an hour. And I hear, is this the 86 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: only place in the world that they can't build a 87 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 2: high speed rail train? 88 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: Yeah? 89 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's you're right, like you look at 90 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 3: it's been decades and decades since this technology became commonplace 91 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 3: in places like Asia and in Europe, and you know, 92 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: you look at what California is planning to build. Let's assume, 93 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 3: for the sake of argument, okay, that you snap your 94 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: fingers and magically the train is done. It'd be a 95 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 3: pretty underwhelming, like low tech project at that point. It'll go, 96 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: you know, maybe a third of what they're planning in 97 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 3: China right now. China's planning to build a high speed 98 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: train that's going to go one thousand kilometers per hour. 99 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 3: California's train would go about a third of that if 100 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 3: it's ever built. So we're spending insane amounts of money 101 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 3: to build a technology that are a modality that's going 102 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 3: to be outdated even if it came into existence today. 103 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: But it's not going to come into existence today. It's 104 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: not going to come into existence this century, according to 105 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 3: the New York Times. 106 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 2: So there must be at this point criminal intent, where 107 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: everybody knows it's not going to be built, but the 108 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 2: funding mechanism keeps shoveling more billions at it. So let's 109 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: take it and run. I can't think of another. I mean, 110 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: are they all that collectively stupid? That's the only other possibility, 111 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: I mean, the right. 112 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 3: So there are a lot of questions, and you know, 113 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 3: it's crazy when I hear the argument that, well, we've 114 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 3: already spent so much on it, what we're just gonna 115 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 3: you know, I'll waste all that money that's already been spent. 116 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 3: But that's that's the entire reason it needs to stop. 117 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: Because we haven't gotten anything with the first seventeen billion. 118 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 3: What makes us think we're going to get anything with 119 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: the next one hundred and one hundred and forty billion, 120 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 3: probably a lot more. 121 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: Can you imagine if it takes till the year twenty 122 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: one hundred, how much it's going to be by then 123 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: it'll be trillions of dollars. 124 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, And you know, and then and there's the 125 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: opportunity costs as well. What could we be using this 126 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 3: money for? Like those at our roads? Our roads are 127 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 3: in terrible shape. Look at the traffic situation of in LA. 128 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 3: Could we be adding lanes to our roads? Can we 129 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: be fixing potholes with this money? Could we even be 130 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: supporting regional rail lines and public trains? That lines would 131 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: at least, you know, get us something right. People are 132 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: riding this, there'd be people moving. They're good moving from 133 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 3: A to B as opposed to this was just just 134 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: a total sinkhole. 135 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 2: Newsome seemed like he was on the verge a few 136 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: years ago of pulling the plug on it, and then 137 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 2: he changed his mind. Did he get some threatening people 138 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: knocking on his door? Did he get a bad phone call? 139 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question. I was there. He said 140 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: this in his State of the State address and what 141 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 3: was it, twenty eighteen. I think he said, look, this 142 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 3: is not a viable project. He actually said in his 143 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: State of the State, which is the biggest platform that 144 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 3: he has as governor. But he very quickly walked that back, 145 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: and that's actually where they did debate and switch and said, okay, okay, okay, 146 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: we're going to just focus on this line from Bakersfield 147 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: to Mercelles, which you know, it's questionable how useful that 148 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: will be in its own right. So it was obviously, 149 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: which we're going to build this to justify the project 150 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: and then we'll keep it going. 151 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: And I guess they. 152 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: Can do it because everybody, the whole public, seems to 153 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: be asleep on this. I mean, I can't believe there 154 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: has been some kind of uprising, like a referendum on 155 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: the ballot to block any further funding, to stop borrowing money, 156 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: to stop the whole thing. Just we admit defeat. You 157 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 2: got it. She stole the seventeen billion. 158 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, So well that's what we're doing with my bill. 159 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 3: I have a bill that's going to take away it's 160 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 3: going to make it ineligible for any further federal funding 161 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 3: going forward. And I believe that once the federal funding 162 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: is off the table, that'll force the state to have 163 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 3: a reckoning, because they're relying on federal funding to keep 164 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: this project on life support. 165 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: And I would think in this climate, you've got a 166 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: good chance of having the President sign it. He's already 167 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: I think he was talking about it last week that 168 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: he thinks it's the worst project he's ever seen in 169 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: his life, exactly. 170 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 3: So, and he's already. I joined his Secretary of Transportation 171 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 3: in La at their union station to announce that the 172 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: DOT is doing a compliance review of the federal funding 173 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 3: that has already been granted to see where it went. 174 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of action right now. I think 175 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: there's a lot of momentum for finally killing this project, 176 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 3: and we're going to see that it happens. And I 177 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 3: think that this FBI investigation, if and when it happens, 178 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 3: is going to be very revealing. 179 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: All right, well, we'll talk again, especially if cash Betel 180 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: agrees to do an investigation. I think it's obvious somebody's 181 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 2: stolen the money. Criminal laws have been broken. It just 182 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: has to be and I hope he he initiates an 183 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 2: investigation quickly. 184 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 3: Thank you for coming on my pleasure, Thanks for having me. 185 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: All right. 186 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 2: That is a Congressman Kevin Kylie from northern California. We 187 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 2: have a variety of good immigration news. This may be 188 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: one of the most dramatic successes I've ever seen by 189 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 2: any president in my life. How the border got shut 190 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: down and there are very few people crossing the border, 191 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 2: very few people who are even trying to cross the 192 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,959 Speaker 2: Darien Gap, which is how people get from South America 193 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: to Central America. Wait to hear the numbers on that 194 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 2: and Trump administration says the Biden people were cooking the 195 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: books on the on their claim over how many illegal 196 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: aliens were getting arrested by during the Biden years. 197 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: That's all ahead. 198 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 199 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 4: six forty. 200 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: Wango Tango is returning to southern California.

I have heard it all over 214 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 2: the years about why you can't do this, and the 215 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: Republicans were just as bad as the Democrats up until recently. 216 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 2: But you go back ten to fifteen, twenty years ago, 217 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: and they were so full of crap. Bill Malusian had 218 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: this report yesterday. Trump's ICE agents who've been going around 219 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 2: the US to arrest criminal, illegal aliens. In just the 220 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: first two and a half months this year, they've already 221 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: surpassed all of Joe Biden's arrests in all of fiscal 222 00:11:52,720 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: year twenty twenty four. From January twentieth who March the twelfth, 223 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 2: they have arrested over thirty three thousand people. For the 224 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: twelve month fiscal year period of twenty twenty four, Biden 225 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 2: made about thirty two thousand arrests. So the Trump arrests 226 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: in two and a half months have exceeded the Biden 227 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 2: arrests of twelve months. 228 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: Now. 229 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: By the way, you may see. 230 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: Idiot lying politicians, idiot lying activists, idiot lying media members. 231 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,239 Speaker 2: Although I think I'm getting redundant in the last two categories. 232 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 2: The media members are largely idiot activists. At a thirty 233 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 2: three thousand ICE arrests fourteen thousand are convicted criminals, ten 234 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: thousand have pending criminal charges, and another eight thousand plus 235 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: have immigration violations. Being in the US illegally, many of 236 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: them had already had deportation orders. Many of them had 237 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 2: already had asylum hearings where they were turned down by 238 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 2: a judge. ICE has forty seven thousand plus illegal aliens 239 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: in detention, and they're maxed out on beds, and ICE 240 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: officials and Homeland Security officials said after reviewing Biden administration records, 241 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: they say Biden's people cook the books, falsely inflated ICE 242 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 2: arrest data, were purposely misleading the public by categorizing. Now 243 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 2: follow this what Trump's and Tom Homan is doing. They're 244 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: arresting people wandering around in the interior of the US, right, 245 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,359 Speaker 2: they're living life day to day here, except they're either convicted, 246 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,599 Speaker 2: they have pending charges, or they have immigration violations and 247 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: they've already been ordered out. What the Biden people did 248 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: is they took illegal aliens who crossed the border, were 249 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: processed by ICE, and then released into the US anyway. 250 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: They counted them as arrests. So a big chunk of 251 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: those thirty two thousand arrests weren't arrests. They were just 252 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: briefly detained, given some paperwork and let free. What Trump 253 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: and Homan have done is they've arrested thirty three thousand 254 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: criminals and they're all being deported out of the country. 255 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 2: They're all going to get the behave I said, reviewing 256 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: the Biden cases, they called them pass through arrests. No 257 00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 2: immigration enforcement action was taken. The aliens were released into 258 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 2: the country and included thousands of violent criminals and gang members. 259 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: And they're trying now the current ICE management is trying 260 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 2: to locate and arrest these passed through these passed through criminals. 261 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: They're calling him pass through arrests. So all the statistical 262 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: claims were fake numbers from Joe Biden's people, not from 263 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: Biden himself because he was deceased for much of that time, 264 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: and of course they were amplified by the media and 265 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 2: nobody questioned it, investigated, challenged it nothing. Now, this is fascinating. 266 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: You heard of the Darien Gap. This is a very 267 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 2: difficult area to pass through. It's in the northern edge 268 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: of South America. I believe it's in Columbia and you 269 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 2: have to pass through it on foot. It's all jungle 270 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: to get into Central America, into Panama and then on 271 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: to Mexico. In the US, there's something called the Pan 272 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: American Highway. You could actually drive on a network of 273 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 2: roads from Alaska to the southern tip of Argentina. It's 274 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: nineteen thousand miles long. You go on YouTube, there's all 275 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: kinds of people who've taken this journey, except there's a 276 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 2: four hundred mile break for this jungle. They call it 277 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: the Darien Gap, and it goes from Colombia to Panama, 278 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: from South to Central America. Well, we had Todd Bensinger, 279 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: the journalist who did a lot of stories because that 280 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: was the very difficult area for people migrating from South 281 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 2: America to get through. And at the height of Biden's insanity, 282 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: eighty two thousand people traveled through the Darien Gap in 283 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 2: August to twenty twenty three, eighty two thousand last month, 284 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: four hundred and eight. Trump's policies cut the flow from 285 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:18,959 Speaker 2: eighty two thousand to four hundred and eight. The Darien 286 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: Gap is sixty miles no roads, a treacherous jungle of crocodiles, snakes, 287 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: harsh terrain, and drug gangs. 288 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. De Broh there's a summer vacation. Huh, No, I'm 289 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: not going to do that. 290 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: Don't tell me about these resorts you stay at. 291 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: This is this is fun and no one knows, and 292 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: then I love this. 293 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 2: This is from Axios, which is a left wing political site. 294 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 2: No one knows precisely why migrant traffic along the Darien 295 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: Gap has fallen so much. No one knows. Let's see, 296 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: with Biden is eighty two thousand a month. With Trump, 297 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 2: it's four hundred. Gee, what could be the reason? They 298 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 2: actually quote a Boston College law professor that, well, many 299 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: migrants aren't trying to go north because they don't know 300 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: if they'll be able to apply for asylum in the US. 301 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 2: No kidding, But we've seen this for decades. It's just episodic. 302 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 2: It'll go back up again because the forces that move 303 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,919 Speaker 2: people north have not changed. It's a temporary low. No, 304 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 2: it's a permanent low. If Trump stays as president and 305 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: continues these policies, which he will, but the next guy 306 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 2: has to do it too. It's entirely dependent on the 307 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 2: policies set by the president because he has full control 308 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 2: over immigration policies, and so as long as his executive 309 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: orders remain in effect, then you're going to get four 310 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: hundred a month, and then eventually it's going to be 311 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 2: less and less. Well is always happens, No, it doesn't, 312 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 2: but they just keep lying. Why not keep lying? I 313 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,239 Speaker 2: guess there's a market for it. 314 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am 315 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 4: six forty. 316 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 2: Ron every day from one until four and then after 317 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart 318 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: app Conway coming up in a half hour. One thing 319 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 2: I'm enjoying this on a day to day basis is 320 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: we're suddenly living in an era where for a lot 321 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: of issues, we're not putting up. 322 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 1: With this crap anymore. 323 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: Right, That's why I like Kevin Kylie was on the 324 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: congressman and he's trying to get the FBI to investigate 325 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 2: high speed rail because we've blumned seventeen billion dollars. That's 326 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: what Kevin said. The latest number is seventeen billion. We're 327 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 2: not gonna put up with this scrap anymore and this 328 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: project enough done with this nonsense. 329 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: Trump came in. 330 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 2: We're not putting up with illegal aliens coming over the 331 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 2: border or anymore. Boom ninety six percent. Draw up in 332 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 2: border crossing its ninety six percent. We just told you 333 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,719 Speaker 2: about the Darien Gap, which is the crossing, a jungle 334 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 2: crossing sixty miles between Colombia and Panama. Back two years ago, 335 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 2: there was eighty two thousand people a month crossing it. 336 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: Now it's four hundred. Simply not putting up in the 337 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: crap anymore. And Trump administration has decided the same thing 338 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: when it comes to these terrorisd protesters who support the 339 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: bloody Hamasque group. You saw they took over college campuses 340 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 2: all over the place. And it turns out many of 341 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 2: them are here on visas or student visas, and they 342 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: got green cards. They're foreigners, they are they're financed by Hamas, 343 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: financed by Iran or these left wing whack job groups 344 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,240 Speaker 2: here in America, and they tied up universities from coast 345 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: to coast. We had it happen here at UCLA and 346 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 2: usc Colombia was the most famous in New York City. 347 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 2: And the lead, the ring leader for the Columbia protest 348 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 2: was this Uh, this Mahmoud Khalil. Now, remember these people 349 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: are celebrating the the UH slaughtering of thousands of Jewish people, 350 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: and they're supporting Hamas, which is dedicated in its mission 351 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: statement to killing every Jewish person and also destroying the 352 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 2: entire state of Israel. These are those supporters. They grew 353 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: up in that region. They were taught by their parents, 354 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 2: their family, the culture that this is this is why 355 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 2: you're here, this is why God made you to kill 356 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 2: Jews and destroy their land. So they come to America, 357 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 2: they infiltrate the universities, and the university presidents and bureaucratic 358 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 2: leaders welcome, embrace them, and pretty soon they are carrying 359 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 2: on with these absurd demonstrations, harassing and threatening Jewish students 360 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: and actually disrupting class for all students. Well, finally Trump 361 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: comes in and said enough of this, the hell with this, 362 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 2: and they arrested Mamod Khalil and they say he's a 363 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 2: national security threat. And now he's in a jail in 364 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: Louisiana and there's a federal judge getting involved in the case. Meantime, 365 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 2: mah Mood Khalil's supporters and again, these are this. In fact, 366 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 2: I heard a New York police official on today and 367 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,440 Speaker 2: he said, we know these people. We've had five thousand 368 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 2: protests over this in New York City, five thousand. He goes, 369 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 2: it's the same people, it's the same organizations. They get 370 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 2: their funding from Hamas Iran and left wing coop groups 371 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: here in America. 372 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: So they stormed Trump Tower. 373 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: Where Trump lived in New York City, the escalator that 374 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: he came down when he ran for president. Originally, there 375 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 2: was about one hundred and fifty of these lunatic, bloodthirsty 376 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 2: terrorists that poured into the lobby, and NYPD went in 377 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 2: immediately and arrested about one hundred of them. They refused 378 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 2: to cooperate. They had to be carried up the stairs 379 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 2: or down the stairs. Here's what it sounded like, play catch. 380 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 2: This is all celebrating the death of Jewish people and 381 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 2: supporting this monster Mamoud Khalia. Now they've been arrested, so 382 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 2: New York Police have their names. Marco Rubio, ahead of 383 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 2: the State Department, says that if they're on visas, student visas, 384 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: regular visas, green cards, it's. 385 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: All going to get revoked. They're going to get deported. 386 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: And I always suspected that most of these people were 387 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: foreigner troublemakers devoted to the killing of Jews. These are 388 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: the true modern day nazis now Columbia University, and this 389 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 2: is really enjoyable. Columbia University allowed all this, enabled, engaged, supported, encouraged, 390 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: and then Trump pulled four one hundred million dollars worth 391 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 2: of funding. That's the lifeblood is the federal money for 392 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 2: these universities. Four hundred million dollars. Well, look what happened. 393 00:24:53,720 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 2: Columbia University just today very quickly expelled some of the 394 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 2: students who had taken over Hamilton Hall during last year's protests. 395 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 2: They've expelled or suspended the students, and they revoked the 396 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 2: diplomas of some of the students, even some who've graduated. 397 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 2: How about that? How about that letter in the mail 398 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 2: The university said its judicial board had issued its sanctions 399 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 2: against dozens of students who had occupied Hamilton Hall based 400 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 2: on the severity of their behaviors. 401 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: No breakdown was cited. 402 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 2: And as I said, my Mood Khalil, who organized it, 403 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: is in a federal jail right now, and Trump is 404 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 2: saying that's the first of many arrests. We're simply like, 405 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 2: enough is enough. We're not putting up with this crap anymore. 406 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: And I hope this spirit enters California because there's so 407 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 2: much nonsense going on here that we just shouldn't put 408 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: up with anymore. No more debate, no more seeing both 409 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: sides trying to convince no, just save your energy, just 410 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: out out, out out. And it's amazing how withdrawing four 411 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars worth of funding is going to do. 412 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 2: This went on in April of twenty twenty four, and 413 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 2: they're all going to finally get justice. You see how 414 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 2: how quick, how quickly that. 415 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: That that changes things. 416 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 2: You decide to enforce the law, You decide to take action, 417 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 2: You decide to be tough about it, not cowed by 418 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 2: demonstrators or people trying to manipulate emotionally manipulate you, or 419 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 2: shame you, just saying you about enough of your garbage out, 420 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,239 Speaker 2: Get the f out all right? 421 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: More coming up. 422 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 4: You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM 423 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 4: six forty. 424 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 2: John Cobelt's show Conway is up in minutes. One of 425 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,359 Speaker 2: the things I noticed in Los Angeles and beyond a 426 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 2: few years ago during the Garcetti era is the enormous 427 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,679 Speaker 2: amount of garbage that's all over the streets. That this 428 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 2: is one of another one of those things that we 429 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: just shouldn't put up with anymore. Enough of this and 430 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 2: the city stopped picking up garbage some years ago, and 431 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 2: I don't know why. For a couple of years they 432 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 2: were claiming it had something to do with COVID. I 433 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 2: don't know what that would be, but all the excuses 434 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: are long past. You know, it's either only had badget 435 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: cots and I mean the call then whatever. Garbage dumping. 436 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 2: Illegal dumping in la is at a record high and 437 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 2: a sword under Karen Bass. Karen Bass can't even pick. 438 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: Up the garbage. And I got the numbers to prove it. 439 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty three, in the first two months, there 440 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 2: were thirteen thousand, five hundred illegal dumping reports in the 441 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 2: first two months of twenty twenty five, twenty two thousand, 442 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: from thirteen thousand to twenty two thousand in two years, 443 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 2: just the first two months of the year. Extrapolate that 444 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 2: if you're getting over ten thousand complaints a month, you're 445 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 2: talking about one hundred and twenty five one hundred and 446 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 2: thirty thousand complaints a year for illegal dumping trash, furniture debris. 447 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 2: It's gone up thirty six percent in just a year. 448 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 2: And it's the highest number that they looked at public 449 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 2: data that they had from the a city website. It 450 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: only went back to twenty eighteen. It's the highest number 451 00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: by far. So apparently Karen Bass has kind of in 452 00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: anything goes policy where everybody can dump garbage and furniture, 453 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: debris and filth everywhere, and of course much of this 454 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: gets washed out into the ocean. You remember remember a 455 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 2: few years ago when that happened in Elsagundo. It was 456 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 2: the sewage plant. The sewage plant jammed up and they 457 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 2: wouldn't say why, and eventually it leaked out, and it 458 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: leaked out from a small news site in the area. 459 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: This is the kind of stuff that it is. 460 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 2: Not politically possible for the La Times to report on it. 461 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 2: It was homeless furniture. The homeless furniture had washed into 462 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: the drainage system, got to the sewage plant. Elseagundo completely 463 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: seized it up, and we ended up with a massive 464 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 2: sewage leak, like millions of gallons of sewage leaking into 465 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: the ocean because of homeless furniture, and nobody wanted to 466 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 2: talk about it. That that is the strategy now with everything, 467 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 2: we're not talking about it. What's happened the last two 468 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 2: months about the fire. Why don't we fill the reservoir? 469 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 2: Not talking about it? How can the fire hydrants are broken? 470 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: Not talking about it? Why are there only half as 471 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 2: many firefighters? Not talking about? How come about all the 472 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 2: engines haven't been thinks I'm not talking about there's there's 473 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: there's a report out, uh, some organization called Crosstown l A. 474 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: I guess they're tracking the garbage. While legal dumping may 475 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 2: bring to mind a few trash bags dropped on a corner, 476 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,440 Speaker 2: it often means piles of construction debris. Hazard is waste. 477 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 2: Hazard is waste tossed by a person or business trying 478 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: to afford trying to avoid paying proper disposal fees. And 479 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 2: now uh the the council president and the it was 480 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 2: the acting mayor of the day of the fire, Marquise 481 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 2: Harris Dawson says, this situation is unacceptable. We're going after 482 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 2: the big fish, the businesses trying to avoid construction debris 483 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 2: and waste fees by illegally dumping. 484 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 1: It's been going out for years. He just woke up. 485 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: What has he got? Joe Biden disease. 486 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 2: We're gonna make examples of them and do it swiftly 487 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 2: and publicly until we shift this culture. 488 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: If anything goes Yeah, you do that. 489 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 2: You created the culture, but go ahead, you shifted it now, Marquis, 490 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 2: we got Kinway, big dog with you. 491 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: You know. 492 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 5: I was listening earlier to the program, and I can't 493 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 5: believe that Columbia University is still getting four hundred million 494 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 5: dollars from the government. They can't sustain on eighty thousand 495 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 5: dollars tuition.
