You're listening to the John Cobelt 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. You got some time later, 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: go to Facebook or YouTube and search for Deborah Cobelt Live. 4 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,959 Speaker 1: My wife has a video podcast and she interviewed me. 5 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: But the history of the Johnny Ken Show. It's an 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: hour long and we covered a lot, maybe some stuff 7 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: you've never heard before, maybe everything you've never heard before. Anyway, 8 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: it's on Debora Cobelt Live, It's on YouTube, it's on 9 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: Facebook and actually all audio and video platforms, and give 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: it a listen. I think you'll enjoy it. We're going 11 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: to start with Blake Trulley from KFI News. We talked 12 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: about this briefly when the story broke earlier this week, 13 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: and now we've got a lot more detail. Gavin Newsom 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: is pushing legislation to create new classes of crime to 15 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: go after what he says are professional retail thieves and 16 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: people who break into cars, and give the police more 17 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: power to make arrests and to try to break down 18 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: these criminal gangs that are engaging in organized crime and 19 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: doing all these smash and grab robberies. Not touching Prop 20 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: forty seven though, and so what we have to figure 21 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: out whether this is just rhetoric misdirection or this actually 22 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: is got real teeth to it that's going to change 23 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: the way life is in California. Blake, how are you good? John? 24 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: And Yeah, to answer your question, I think what we're 25 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 2: going to have to wait for to see how much 26 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: teeth are in his proposals or when these are actually 27 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: made into bills. What Newsom's done as he's released a 28 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: framework for what he wants. Among his requests are increased 29 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: punishments for people stealing items to resell, allowing police to 30 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: make retail theft the rest for crimes they did not witness. Remember, 31 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: officers can't arrest on misdemeanors unless they see the crime. 32 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: This is why we see resources tied up with these 33 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 2: sting operations and some of these retailers. Newsom's proposing allowing 34 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 2: theft amounts from different crimes from the same person to 35 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: be tallied up for grand theft charges. He also wants 36 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: harsher punishment for large scale resellers, which we've seen play 37 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: out now. John, you and I've been on the air 38 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 2: talking about these pop up shops that they busted in LA. 39 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 2: There was one and Wittier that are just selling stolen 40 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 2: goods as if they're a legitimate store. Newsom's proposals are 41 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: being applauded by the California Retailers Association, the California State 42 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: Sheriff's Association president says he supports it, the San Francisco 43 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: DA saying they support this. Notably, missing from his plan, 44 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: which I heard you talk about, is the fact that 45 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: he's not taking aim at Prop forty seven. I was, also, 46 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,920 Speaker 2: to be honest with you, John, a little surprised that 47 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: he's calling on the legislature to make these changes. Just 48 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: a week ago, I was in front of Newsom and 49 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: had a chance to ask about retail crime. I know 50 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: the Assembly Committee on Retail Theft recently at its first meeting, 51 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 2: as you also announced a big uptick in retail theft 52 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 2: arrests by the CHP. What do you hope to see 53 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 2: out of that committee? 54 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 3: Well, I'll leave that to the legislature. I just know 55 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: what we're seeing. We're seeing real progress in this space. 56 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: Two and a half years ago, we launched a new 57 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: retail theft task Force. We put hundreds and hundreds of 58 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: millions of dollars in vertical prosecution grants. We probably were 59 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 3: one thousand new CHP officers. In fact, we have a 60 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: new aclademy class closing. I think just this week another 61 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: one hundred folks that will be coming out. 62 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: We've taken this very seriously. 63 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: We've been very proactive, not just here in southern California, 64 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: but throughout the state of California. And you see from 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: those numbers, those arrests are up and the prosecutions we're 66 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: starting to see more and more prosecutions, not just arrest 67 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 3: We want to see real accountability. We take it very 68 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: very seriously, and a very grateful legislature for two years 69 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: being on top of this, not just on top of 70 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,839 Speaker 3: a hearing a few weeks ago. 71 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, go ahead, go ahead. Back. 72 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: Well, I'm just I was really confused that he told, 73 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 2: you know, he's calling on the legislature now to create 74 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: all these laws. The first thing he said to me was, well, 75 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: I'll leave that to the legislature. When I asked him 76 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: about the specific committee looking at eyeing changes as it 77 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: pertains to retail that So just in the nature of that, 78 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: it's somewhat surprises me. I know there are some concerns 79 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: with this legislature, not getting any of this done or 80 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: at least working out of snail's pace. 81 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: So they don't want no, they don't want to have 82 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: anybody put in prison for any reason. That's overwhelmingly the 83 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: bent of the Democrats that end up on these public 84 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: safety committees. It's it's to close. It's to close the 85 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: doors on the prison so nobody gets in and I. 86 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 2: Want to go right well, I want to go right here. 87 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: John to Assemblyman Tom Lackey. That's his concern is that 88 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: Newsom is pushing this to the legislature and not to 89 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: the voters. 90 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's relying on the legislature that's already proven. Look 91 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 4: how much trouble we had adopting something as reasonable as 92 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 4: raising the uh the level of accountability for trafficking children. 93 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: That was a battle. 94 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 4: How in the world is not a battle, right? I mean, 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 4: we have a legislature that does not understand the importance 96 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: of accountability, and so him punning to this legislature is rough. 97 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah, you know, it's frustrating. Is I know, 98 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: he's a guy who's on the right side of this, 99 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: but when you use terms like they don't understand the 100 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: importance of accountability, you got to speak more plainly. They 101 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: don't want to put bad guys in prison. They don't 102 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: want to do that. They have an ideological belief system 103 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: that is completely at odds with any normal person, most 104 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: of us. If a guy is compulsively stealing, you've got 105 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: to put them away. And what bothers me about Newsom 106 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: and the Prop forty seven situation is, how do you 107 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: say you're going to be increasing penalties and get tougher 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: when you can still steal nine hundred and fifty dollars 109 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: a day and it's only a misdemeanor, and misdemeanors are 110 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: barely prosecuted these days, and there's no prison time for that. 111 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, John, I spoke with law enforcement sources today because 112 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: that was notably the biggest part that I thought was 113 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 2: missing from his package. There was there was nothing in 114 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 2: that language about lowering that threshold back to four hundred 115 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,800 Speaker 2: bucks as it pertains to a felony. And what one 116 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: law enforcement source told me today is without that, there's 117 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: really no teeth to go after individual thieves. Nine hundred 118 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: and fifty bucks is quite a bit for one person 119 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 2: to make my way off. 120 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: With it, and then they could do it again the 121 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: next day and the next day and the next day. 122 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: So I don't understand he's he's he's trying to say 123 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: that they want to go after the repeat criminals. Well, 124 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: but if you time your theft's right, and you pay 125 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: attention to how much you're stealing at any given point, 126 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: you can get away with an enormous amount of crime 127 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: and none of it reaches felony status. 128 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of things here, John, as it pertains 129 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: to prison time. I spoke with Assemblyman Bill A. Saley 130 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 2: today who was a prosecutor, and he says he wants 131 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 2: to see an increase in state prison capacity to go 132 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: with these laws. He's not convinced these criminals will stay 133 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: in custody if they're sent to overcrowded county jails. And 134 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: Assale says, a lot of these criminals now know they're 135 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 2: not going to serve time, So these sentences, even if 136 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: they increased the sentences, a lot of criminals still operate 137 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 2: a different way. Now there is an effort out of 138 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: the Inland Empire right now. Somebodyman James Ramos put out 139 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 2: a bill essentially saying if you're caught committing retail theft, 140 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: then you have at least two prior convictions, you will 141 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: be facing up to three years in jail. But again 142 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: it goes back to that, well, we just heard from 143 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: Assale there the capacity issues. 144 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: One one more question before we go, and I don't 145 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: know if you have an answer to this. What I 146 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: was listening very closely because with Newsom, he's like Bill Clinton, 147 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: you have to listen to every single word because there 148 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: are a lot of weasel words in there. He several 149 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: times mentioned arrests, what about convictions and how much jail 150 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: time they got, because arrests don't mean anything if it's 151 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: not followed through, especially in George Gasconeland here in La 152 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: County where he's got fourteen thousand cases not prosecuted. They 153 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: were all arrested, no prosecutions, let alone convictions in prison time, 154 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: and does anybody well he did mention that. 155 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: Well, he mentioned that prosecutions are up, but obviously this 156 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: is not a perfect system when he's rolling out this 157 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: kind of life. 158 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: The prosecutions did they lead, how many people actually went 159 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: to prison and how long did they go? And there's 160 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: nobody's volunteering any information on that, And it makes me 161 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: not trust all of it because all that matters is 162 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: a bad guy getting put away at the end of 163 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: it is like, okay, is he locked up for a 164 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: while to at least keep them off the streets so 165 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: he doesn't commit any more crimes during that time. And 166 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: also maybe he stops what he's doing because he doesn't 167 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: like going to prison. I mean, that's the only two 168 00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: consequences there.

Boy, this 196 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: is so nuts. I can't believe this story just gets 197 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: worse and worse, stupider and stupider. You know, Joe Biden 198 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: has let in several million people, and for many of them, 199 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: there's nowhere to go, there's nowhere to live. We're talking 200 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: about coming across the Mexican border from one hundred and 201 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: sixty plus countries. One of the stupidest, most destructive policies 202 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: any president has ever had it. Whether he's conscious of 203 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: it or not, who knows, but it's happening. So it's 204 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: gotten so bad in New York City, where they've gotten 205 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: well over one hundred thousand piling in that there's no 206 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: place to put him. So the city spends local tax 207 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: money on a tent shelter. Nearly two thousand people are 208 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: living in a tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field and 209 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: they were there's a huge storm that's blown up the 210 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: East coast in the last couple of days, a torrential rain, 211 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: very powerful wins, seventy mile an hour winds. They're getting 212 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: several inches of rain. It's it's one of those big ones. 213 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: And they didn't think the tent could handle it. Now, 214 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: get this, They were so afraid. This is this is 215 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: the idiot Adams administration. They were so afraid that the 216 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: tent would collapse that they took all the illegal aliens 217 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: out of the tent and sent them into the second 218 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: floor gym at James Madison High School five miles away. 219 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: And that's where they are. And now all the students 220 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: at James Madison High School can't go to school. They're 221 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: told to stay home and do get this remote learning. 222 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: Remote learning, the biggest failure in the history of the 223 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: educational system, destroyed kids' lives during that stupid lockdown, and 224 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: now they brought it back so that the illegal aliens 225 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 1: could take over the entire high school. Nobody said it 226 00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: better than a local resident named Rob. This is ft up. 227 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: It's a litmus test. They're using a storm, a legitimate 228 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: situation where they're testing this out. I guarantee you they'll 229 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: be here for the entire summer. There's nineteen hundred people 230 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: getting thrown into my neighborhood, half a block from where 231 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: I live, and we don't know who they are. They're 232 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: not vetted. A lot of them have criminal records and 233 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: backgrounds and we don't even know. And yeah, break it down. 234 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: You got nearly two thousand people. A lot of them 235 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: are young men. We don't know about their criminal records, 236 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: we don't know about their terrorist ties. None of them 237 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: are checked out. None of them have anywhere to go. 238 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: Ohge young men with free time and no money. What 239 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: could happen? What possibly could go wrong here? They've got 240 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: no right to be here New York City. I'm glad 241 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: New York City has to deal with this in that 242 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: Texas was getting pummeled with literally millions, and all the 243 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: idiot progressives in New York City and Brooklyn gome.

Fauci's now eighty 330 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: three years old, and I guess he's decided, Okay, I'll 331 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 1: tell the truth now because I'm I got one foot 332 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: in the grave. And these are exact quotes. He told 333 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: the committee that the six feet apart recommendation, which he 334 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: publicly campaigned for excuse me, was likely not based on 335 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: scientific data. Got that six feet apart likely not based 336 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: on scientific data, and that was crucial because that was 337 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: one of the reasons they could never open the schools. 338 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: There was no practical way to keep everybody six feet apart. 339 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 1: And according to the I want to get this guy's 340 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: name right. The chair of the committee is Brad Weinstrop. 341 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: He's a Republican from Ohio and he's also a physician. 342 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: And he said that after two days of testimony and 343 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: fourteen hours of questioning, many things became evident during the 344 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: interview today, doctor Fauci claimed that the policies and mandates 345 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: he promoted may unfortunately increase vaccine hesitancy for years to come. 346 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: It's clear that dissenting opinions were often not considered or 347 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: suppressed completely. Yeah, we found that out. Should a future 348 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: pandemic arise, America's response must be guided by scientific facts 349 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: and conclusive data. Apparently, Fauci claimed he couldn't remember a 350 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: lot of the information from the COVID nineteen era. He 351 00:20:54,920 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: just kept saying, I don't recall, I don't recall, and Winstrup, 352 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: another Republican, Michael Cloud, was really upset. He goes, they 353 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: washed their hands of any sort of responsibility, saying, oh, 354 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: those decisions were made by school districts. But the school 355 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: districts are following the guidance of the federal government, specifically 356 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: Fauci and the CDC. See, this is the game they play. 357 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: Fauci goes, well, I didn't close the schools. Well, the 358 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 1: school districts decided it was their policies. Well, it was 359 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: the federal government. And Fauci was the leading cheerleader. He 360 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: was telling everybody locked down six feet apart. And now 361 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: he's saying, well, though, we didn't really have any scientific 362 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: evidence for that. And it was the teachers' union because 363 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: the teachers, and I'm talking about the teachers, not just 364 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: the union. The teachers themselves decided, wow, we could get 365 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: a year and a half off with pay. So yeah, yeah, 366 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: six feet apart. That sounds right. Sure masks, Yeah, sure, 367 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: masks six feet apart. No, in fact, forget the masks. 368 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: Stay home. We'll stay home too. We'll stay in our 369 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: pajamas and fuzzy slippers and our robes. So he's been 370 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 1: getting grilled for two days and the Republicans on the 371 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: committee are bringing up all his public statements that he 372 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: hopes everybody forgets, because in twenty twenty one, Fauci said, 373 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: it's been proven that when you make it difficult for 374 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: people in their lives, they lose their ideological bull bleep 375 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: and they get vaccinated. There was a lot of ideological 376 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: bull bleep on the side of the people insisting on 377 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: masks and vaccines, that everything be mandated. And now they're saying, oh, 378 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: did you have any evidence that masks works, that masks 379 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: work on have any evidence that you're supposed to be 380 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: six feet apart? Uh? No. Doctor Ashish Jaw, the demon 381 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: of the Brown University School of Public Health, and he 382 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: was Biden's COVID response coordinator for fifteen months, had said 383 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, it never struck me that 384 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: six feet was particularly sensical in the context of mitigation. 385 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: I wish the CDC would come out and say, this 386 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: is not a major issue. So that's I remember how 387 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: crazy people were. Everybody was nervous and uptight over sit 388 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: at a table, you got to be six feet apart. 389 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: You're sitting on a park bench. You know, you remember 390 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: walking on the beach. You're supposed to say six feet apart, 391 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: even though the wind is blown at twenty five miles 392 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: an hour. Boy was that insanity. And the only reason 393 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: I bring this up again is now now it's coming 394 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,239 Speaker 1: out that this was all the crazy land. We had 395 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: another guy who was one of the directors of the 396 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: NIH come out the other day and said, you know what, 397 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: we didn't We were just focusing on trying to keep 398 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: people from catching the virus. We didn't consider all the 399 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: damage being done to the kids in the schools. We 400 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 1: didn't consider the damage being done to the economy. We 401 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 1: didn't consider the damage being done to people's psyches being 402 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: locked up for two and a half three years. Because 403 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: the politicians were supposed to take in take the input 404 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: from the epidemiologists and mix it with all the other 405 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: realities of what was going on. Like the economy, the 406 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: need for skilled children to have human contact, to have 407 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: regular in person teaching. So it turns out we were 408 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: all locked up wearing masks, staying six feet apart, and 409 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: there really wasn't any good scientific reason for it. Apparently 410 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: places that didn't have those kind of strict rules didn't 411 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: end up with any different COVID situation. Again, most of 412 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: the deaths and severe inlces were elderly people and people 413 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 1: who were already sick and their immune systems were compromised. 414 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 6: And Ray apparently, we know how he goes about his life, so. 415 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, he must have done some terrible damage. Yeah, I mean, 416 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: I don't know. How do you destroy your own immune system? 417 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 6: Ask right, he's an expert at it. 418 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: Worst immune system of any middle aged adult I know. 419 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 7: But I'll say I have had the flu one time, Yeah, 420 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 7: in my life, and it was horrendous. It was worse 421 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 7: than when I had COVID. I have to say, the 422 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 7: flu is nasty. Did Ray get a flu shot? I 423 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 7: asked him that he conveniently ignored. 424 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 5: No. 425 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: I thought it was so much question. 426 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 7: I asked him the question because I was curious, because 427 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's not a guarantee you're not going 428 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 7: to get the flu if you get a flu vaccine. 429 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 6: Right, we know that. 430 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: No, it's not. Those things are thirty percent effective. 431 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 6: Some ears right, But. 432 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 7: I'd still rather, you know, get one just in case. 433 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 7: But I don't think, hey. 434 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 6: Look the flu is awful. I don't want to get that. 435 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,199 Speaker 1: That's a phrase only mothers use. Mother's only you is 436 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: the phrase just in case? More coming up. 437 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 438 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 5: six forty. 439 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 1: Coming up after Deborahs two o'clock news, We're gonna have 440 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: lu Shapiro, an attorney, and he's going to try to 441 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: explain what the chaos and all the circus behavior was 442 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: in Washington, DC today. Hunter Biden, as you know, was 443 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: subpoena to testify to explain things to a Congressional committee 444 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: and he won't do that, and so they want to 445 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 1: charge him with contempt of Congress. He suddenly showed up 446 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: at the beginning of a meeting of the House Committee 447 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: on Oversight just to sit and watch. This is the 448 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: committee that wants his testimony. Now he's supposed to be 449 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles for an arrangement on tax charges tomorrow 450 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: but he was in Washington today and he was there 451 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: for a while, and then he got up and left. 452 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: He created this drama and the members of the committee 453 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: started yelling at him. And we're going to talk to 454 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: Luc Shapiro write at two o'clock. But I thought i'd 455 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: play a couple of clips so you get a sense 456 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: of what this craziness was about. This is a Congresswoman, 457 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Mace, who's on the committee from South Carolina, and 458 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: she starts yelling about Hunter Biden's balls.

That's Marjorie Taylor Green. So that was uh, 487 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: that was Congress this morning. 488 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 8: Uh. 489 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: They want Biden to answer for all his uh his 490 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: tax charge issues and and everything else because you know 491 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: they're they're doing an impeachment inquiry on Joe Biden and 492 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: all his business dealings with China, Ukraine, all the millions 493 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: of dollars that came in that was funneled into various 494 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: accounts and various LLC's it's really quite amaze.
