1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 2: I am six forty.

3
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome, It's good that you're here.

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: We're on every day from one until four o'clock and

6
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on

7
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 1: the iHeart app. And that's the podcast that's where you

8
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,960
Speaker 1: get to listen to whatever you miss today. I can

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: believe this, but I can't believe this. I think you'll

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: have the same reaction. Los Angeles Times is reporting that

11
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Fire Department actually hired a public relations

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: company to help craft the message after the Palisades fire,

13
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: and it is suspected that this public relations company had

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: something to do with the writing of this infamous after

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: action report. And just to summarize, if you didn't hear

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: the details, this all broke a few weeks ago. The

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: fire Department had an after action report which was supposed

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: to tell the truth to the public. Keep in mind

19
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: that we pay the bills, and it's taxpayers' homes that

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: had got burned down and actual taxpayers who died in

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: the fire. And after the first fire, Chief Kristen Crowley

22
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: was fired. The second interim fire Chief Ronnie vo Nueva,

23
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: engineered this after action report, and we were told as

24
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: people got more and more impatient and had more and

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: more questions, and it became obvious how how much fire

26
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: department officials botched the Palisades fire. They said, well, wait

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: till the after action report.

28
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: Wait, wait, wait till that.

29
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: Well, as we found out, it was originally written by

30
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: a guy, one of the battalion commanders, and his name

31
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: was let me say Cook and hmm. His report was

32
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: rewritten six times. They actually found seven different.

33
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: Drafts of the after action report.

34
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: And the one thing that all the revisions did is

35
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: constantly watered down, down, play, distort Who was to blame

36
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: for the bad response to the fire, starting with not

37
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: putting the original fire out from the first completely and

38
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: not sending up a crew when we got the warnings

39
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: of the big wins for January seventh, and then they

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: compounded with more and more and more.

41
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: I didn't just bad actions. I don't even think.

42
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't think there were like mistakes that would be

43
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: too generous, mistakes made. You did your best and it

44
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: just didn't work out. You didn't quite act. No, this

45
00:02:54,600 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: was total abandonment of the Palisades by choice. That's why

46
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: Spencer Pratts group used the phrase they let us burn

47
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: for their rally. If I was Spencer Pratt, I'd use

48
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: that as his party affiliation. They let us burn party.

49
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: So nobody wants to take responsibility for this watered down, nonsense,

50
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: garbage after action report. The new fire chief Haimi Moore

51
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: we've had on the air, doesn't even want to find

52
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: out who doctored it, who distorted it, saying, look, I

53
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: know what went on, I know we have to fix it.

54
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: So he wants to wash his hands of the whole thing.

55
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: And now it turns out, according to the La Times,

56
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: there's a public relations company called the Lead Company L E. D.

57
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, the battalion chief who wrote the

58
00:03:54,120 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: original reporter, his name is Kenneth Cook. The Lead Company

59
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: they do Hollywood celebrities. They do people like Reese Witherspoon,

60
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Charlie's Theoren Rihanna in the La Fire Department.

61
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: Now, it's one thing to hire.

62
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: A public relations agency when you want your new movie

63
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: hyped or your latest album, or if sales don't go

64
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: well or box office stinks, or you get fired from

65
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: a job or whatever, or you're involved in some romantic scandal.

66
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 1: It's one thing to hire a public relations agency to

67
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: fog up and lie about the story. But the truth

68
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: is a fire department has no business, no business at all,

69
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: hiring a public relations agency to tell us why they

70
00:04:53,680 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: didn't put out the fire efficiently. This is unconscionable. A

71
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: public relations agency. What the hell is everybody insane? This

72
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: is a sign of insanity here. And what they did

73
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: is they used money from the Los Angeles Fire Foundation.

74
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: Now that's a nonprofit. In fact, one of the biggest

75
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: donors is Rick Caruso. He committed five million dollars to

76
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: the Fire Department Foundation. He's on the board and it's

77
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: the official nonprofit arm of the fire department. And they

78
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: this foundation is supposed to spend money on equipment and

79
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: other programs because Karen Bass and Eric Carcetti defunded the

80
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: fire department. And he says he had no idea that

81
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: there was money going to this public relations company. The

82
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: donation that our family made to the foundation, said Carusoe,

83
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: is specifically intended and limited to the protection and service

84
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: of the City of Los Angeles. I don't want the

85
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: money we donated going to a PR firm Austin Buttner

86
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: came out and said similarly that for the lead company

87
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: to be involved as an unconscionable lack of transparency, Karen

88
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Bess is pretending she knows nothing. So this is just

89
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 1: another layer of deceit, another layer of misdirection a public

90
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: relations company.

91
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: The last time.

92
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: I remember having to deal with a public relations company

93
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: for a major story in Los Angeles was when the

94
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Archdiocese hired a company called Citric because Roger

95
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: mah was being accused of covering up all the pedophile

96
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: priests in the archdiocese, so they hired citricin company as

97
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: a PR agent to obscure the story. Let me put

98
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: it politely, but we figured it out anyway, Ken and

99
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: I personally figured it out. So now they're back to

100
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: that game of getting a Hollywood public relations agency to

101
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: hide the truth about why fire officials blew the Palisades

102
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: fire and cost almost seven thousand homes and killed twelve people.

103
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: And when we come.

104
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Back, I'll tell you about the latest non answer from

105
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: fire department officials now that they've been caught hiring the

106
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: PR firm that's coming up next.

107
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

108
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: six forty.

109
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: Coming up at one.

110
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: Thirty after Debor's news, We're gonna have Ali Bradley from

111
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: News Nation in the cable TV channel. ICE is in Minneapolis,

112
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: and JD. Vans, the Vice President, is going to join

113
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: ICE to show his unwavering support. In the meantime, troops

114
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: are being told to be ready for deployment. So it's

115
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: it's definitely party time in Minneapolis.

116
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: And what is.

117
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: The temperature of Minneapolis right now? It's it's got to

118
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: be it's got to be around zero. Hang on, I'm

119
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: gonna check here. Let me see Minneapolis. I'm surprised they

120
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: get the turnout for the protein. Yes, it's minus one

121
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: minus one degrees. It feels like minus twenty two, and

122
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna go down to minus eighteen tonight. I'm the

123
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: thermometer and probably winds at thirty two miles an hour.

124
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: Who the hell's gonna be go protesting? You're gonna go

125
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: protesting ICE when it's eighteen below zero. Well, we're gonna

126
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: talk to Ali Bradley coming up from Newsdation about all

127
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: this nonsense.

128
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: It is all just nonsense.

129
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Really gets garbage. Here's What really matters is the Los

130
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: Angeles Fire Department officials completely botched the Palisades fire, and

131
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: they've been covering up the big, the big botch.

132
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: They've been lying, covering everything up.

133
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Karen Bass has been demanding it and because she's so

134
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: desperate to be the presiding mayor over the Olympics. And

135
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: it's gotten worse because now we found out. And this

136
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: is really important to understand the difference.

137
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: Here.

138
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: You have the Los Angeles Fire Department and you have

139
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. And the Fire Department

140
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: Foundation has millions of dollars and assets which they use

141
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: to help the fire department by equipment to improve their service.

142
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Because Karen Bass defunded the fire department because we have

143
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: half a fire department in Los Angeles. Eric Garcetti defunded

144
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: the fire department. We have half a fire department. I

145
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: can't say that enough. So some of the people who

146
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: can afford it, they set up this fire Foundation.

147
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 2: Rick Caruso is a part of it. And get this.

148
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: Somebody at the Fire Foundation thenk rolled a public relations

149
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: company called the Lead Company. LEDE normally does Hollywood celebrities

150
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: like I mentioned before, Reese Witherspoon, Charlie's, Theren Rihanna, to

151
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: name three, and the current fire chief Himimore says he

152
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: doesn't know what they did, but I'm assuming they had

153
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: something to do with the after Act should report because

154
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: there are public relations firm. I would think a PR

155
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: firm was going to give advice to the fire chief

156
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: because at the time they didn't have a director of

157
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: public information. Well, they may have rewritten the whole thing repeatedly,

158
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: because the original writer of the report of Battalion Chief

159
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: named Kevin Cook, found it got rewritten six times to

160
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: the point where he took his name off it. He

161
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: didn't want to be associated with me because it's a

162
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: big cover up. So now even this Los Angeles Fire

163
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: Department Foundation doesn't want to be connected to the hiring

164
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: of the PR agency. Listen to this. Liz Lynn is

165
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: president of the foundation. She wrote in an email to

166
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: the LA Times. The Fire Department Foundation provided communications support

167
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: by hiring the lead company. It's part of its mission

168
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: to provide resources to the LAFD.

169
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 2: The founder was.

170
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: Not involved in the services provided by the lead company.

171
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: In other words, we had nothing to do with them.

172
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: Maybe rewriting the report and covering up the truth. You

173
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: don't hire a public relations company unless you want to

174
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: cover up a distort truth.

175
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: That's the only purpose of it. That's why Hollywood celebrities

176
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: do do this.

177
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: Because they have so much money on the line that

178
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: they can't let a bad story about their bad movie

179
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: or their bad TV show get too much mileage. And

180
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: if they have some negative story in their family or

181
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: in their romantic life or with a wife or a husband,

182
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: they need that to be distorted and lied about two

183
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: because that'll cost them money if suddenly they have a

184
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: bad public image.

185
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: Well, the LA Fire.

186
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: Department, and I'm pinting this on the officials really screwed

187
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: this thing up. That's how you get six rewrites the report,

188
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 1: that keeps watering it down and watering it down. And

189
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: notice everybody wants to say I know nothing. The head

190
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: of the fire department says, I know nothing. Karen bass

191
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: is and at her office are we know nothing? J

192
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: I anymore? I know nothing? That was the other guy.

193
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: Nobody knows anything. In fact, Bass told The Times she

194
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: did not work with the fire department to change the report.

195
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: That's a technical report. I'm not a firefighter. Oh what

196
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: a what a that's a big steamer. Notice how she

197
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: changes the subject. I'm not an expert. You are an

198
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: expert at lying and covering things up. That's what you

199
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: wanted done. You didn't have to know the technical issues

200
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: in firefighting. You just wanted to make sure that you

201
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: and the fire chiefs and other named officials don't get.

202
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: Blamed for it.

203
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: So this is just another scandal on top of I

204
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: don't know a dozen other scandals.

205
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: Over the past year.

206
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: But now you have the president of the Fire Foundation said, well,

207
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: we didn't know what this was going to be spent on,

208
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: Caruso saying, well, I hope my family's money wasn't spent

209
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: on this.

210
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: You have.

211
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: I'd be more saying well, I don't know anything about

212
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: this public relate everybody say I don't want to, which you.

213
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 2: Know what they did. They rewrote the report.

214
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: So that the fire officials can avoid blame for one

215
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: of the biggest, well the biggest tragedy ever hit Los Angeles.

216
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 2: Disgusting and shameful, and they don't stop. They just keep.

217
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: Lying and covering up, lying and covering up. We're going

218
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: to keep on top of this one too. I guess

219
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: we have to do all the work here Now coming

220
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: up after Dever's news, we're going to have Ali Bradley

221
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: on because in Minneapolis we got the three thousand ICE agents.

222
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: You have all those violent protesters and jd Vance is

223
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: flying there to support ICE and troops are on stand by.

224
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Ali Bradley.

225
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: Coming up. You're listening to John Cobels on demand from

226
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: KFI A six forty.

227
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: We're on live from one to four on the radio,

228
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: on streaming and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show

229
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: on demand. That's the podcast where you listen to whatever

230
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: you missed, and what you missed so far is the

231
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Fire Department hiring a public relations firm maybe

232
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: to water down there after action investigation on how badly

233
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: they botched the fire. So if you want to listen

234
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: to that whole discussion, that will be an hour one

235
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: of the podcast on the iHeart app. Now we move

236
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: on to Minneapolis. We're going to talk to Ali Bradley.

237
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: Jd Vance was coming to town today to show support

238
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: for ICE. And it's minus one degrees one degree below

239
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: zero in Minneapolis, and Olly Bradley, what does that feel like?

240
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 5: You know, I think it's beyond describing how cold it

241
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: is out here, because while it might be one below zero,

242
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 5: that doesn't factor in the wind, so it most likely

243
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 5: feels like it's negative twenty here or something like that.

244
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 5: But you know, you can only put on so many

245
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 5: layers and wear so many heated vests. You've got to

246
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 5: have your face exposed still, So it's at a level

247
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: where it's downright dangerous to be outside right now.

248
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: Are there people protesting in the colder? Were they? Did

249
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: they disperse?

250
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 5: Not really, you know, And there was even a call

251
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: for action to have protesters outside of the venue where

252
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 5: the Vice President was today, and I didn't see anybody

253
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 5: out there protesting. When it comes to the Federal building,

254
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 5: which is where we've seen clashes for the last three weeks.

255
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 6: Over the last several days.

256
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 5: They haven't been out there past ten o'clock PM either,

257
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 5: but they do have barricades and the sheriff is out

258
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 5: there as well now, So those things are all kind

259
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 5: of playing factors into the fewer people out and about

260
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 5: protesting and clashing with federal law enforcement right now.

261
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: No, I was in minus twenty six degrees once. You'll

262
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: die in that if you stay out more than a

263
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: couple of minutes. I mean, your fresh flush phrases all yours.

264
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 5: John, and it's negative one, but it feels like negative

265
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 5: twenty three. So yeah, it's not warm out here. And

266
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 5: the people that are that are out and about are

267
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 5: certainly dedicated, I should say, so.

268
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: Jd Vance came to town.

269
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 6: Yeah. Jd Vance was in town.

270
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 5: He held a round table with business leaders and also

271
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 5: with federal law enforcement to kind of take a temperature

272
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 5: on what was going on here and how operations were

273
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 5: being conducted. Obviously, he was here to reaffirm the administration

274
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 5: support for federal law enforcement Operation Metro Surge, which is

275
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 5: the name of the operation that began on November twenty

276
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 5: ninth here where they've arrested more than three thousand criminal

277
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 5: illegal immigrants according to DHS. And so the Vice President,

278
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 5: you know, the most interesting parts are always when the

279
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 5: question and answer comes, and he was just talking, you know,

280
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:23,679
Speaker 5: at nauseum about the level of assault and issues that

281
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: federal law enforcement are facing right now and they're going through,

282
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 5: you know, they're dealing with people tailing them, people following

283
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 5: them around, people assaulting them, people throwing things at them,

284
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 5: all of these different issues. And so he was just

285
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 5: basically calling on local entities, whether it's the governor or

286
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 5: the mayor, to turn the temperature down. But what was

287
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 5: really interesting is both the governor or Neither the governor

288
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 5: nor the mayor were invited to the roundtable. And he

289
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: said that his office has been in communication, but they

290
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 5: haven't actually had a face to face conversation or a

291
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: personal conversation about what turning the temperature down looks like.

292
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 5: We've obviously heard the governor and the mayor condone protesting

293
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 5: and going after Ice and recording them and making sure

294
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: that you're documenting everything, even the mayor saying get the

295
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 5: f out of Minneapolis, right, and so we've had some

296
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 5: rhetoric coming from them that the vice president was calling

297
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 5: to be turned down obviously, but again, the mayor was

298
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 5: not invited. Actually, on Chris Cuomo last night when he

299
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 5: was on News Nation, he was surprised, he was learning

300
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 5: firsthand on our programming that the vice president would even

301
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: be in his city, and you know, it seemed like

302
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 5: he was a little bit miffed that he was not

303
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 5: invited to the roundtable. And a lot of protesters here

304
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 5: even said that they wanted the mayor to go to

305
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 5: that roundtable to record everything to be transparent and to

306
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 5: call for federal entities not to work and collaborate with ICE.

307
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 6: And so that's what.

308
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 5: We're seeing on the ground level. But when it comes

309
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 5: to the Vice president, he addressed also some issues when

310
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 5: it comes to how ICE is operating, and he said,

311
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 5: you know, if it wasn't for the agitators and wasn't

312
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 5: for the people that are harassing them, they would be

313
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 5: able to do their job.

314
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 6: So quite literally.

315
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 5: Pointing the finger back every time a question came back

316
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 5: towards either Democratic lawmakers or towards the agitators that are

317
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 5: involved in kind of impeding law enforcement operations out here.

318
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: Now, are there military troops on some sort of stand by,

319
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: some sort of alert to go to Minneapolis?

320
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: Things get out of hands?

321
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 5: So the reality is the Vice President was asked as

322
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 5: well because sending troops here, sending active duty military would

323
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 5: require the invocation of the Insurrection Act by the President

324
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 5: without an Act of Congress. But asked several times, the

325
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 5: President has said he does not need it. And then

326
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 5: again the Vice president asked where he stands on invoking

327
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 5: the Insurrection Act, and today he said that they don't

328
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 5: believe that they need it.

329
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 6: They believe that if local law.

330
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 5: Enforcement work with the federal law enforcement, that they'll be

331
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 5: able to do the job that they're trying to do.

332
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 5: So right now, he's saying that the Insurrection Act is

333
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 5: not needed, but that does not mean that those troops

334
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 5: are not on stand by. So we know that there

335
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 5: are active duty soldiers in Alaska that could potentially come

336
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 5: to Minneapolis. Obviously they're a little more acclimated.

337
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 6: To deal with the cold out here.

338
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 5: But you also have military police reports of Army military

339
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 5: police at the ready to be deployed here if that

340
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: is needed. But again, you have both the president and

341
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 5: the Vice President saying that the Insurrection Act is not

342
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 5: needed right now, and so that's not something that we

343
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 5: anticipate seeing. Obviously, we have the National Guard on the

344
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 5: state level also on standby as well, So those are

345
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 5: things that we're watching for, but that does not seem

346
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 5: to be materializing just yet.

347
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: When we had the riots in Los Angeles last June,

348
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: local police and sheriff's deputies did show up. Once the

349
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: rioting broke out and there were attacks on the ICE agents,

350
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: that's when they joined. Like, they didn't help ICE do

351
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: the round ups, but they helped protect ICE and fight

352
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: off the rioters. Has the local police been doing that

353
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: in mad Aa, you know?

354
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 5: And that's more of that crowd control measure, right, that's

355
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 5: what you're seeing. You see them close off streets, you

356
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 5: see them show up in the riot gear. I believe

357
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 5: it was last week at some point they had It

358
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 5: might have been over the weekend where Minneapolis police did

359
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 5: show up in riot gear and help with crowd control

360
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 5: and issues like that. But yeah, they're not out helping

361
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 5: with enforcement operations. The local sheriff is outside of the

362
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 5: federal building also kind of holding court, making sure that

363
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 5: the protesters don't spill onto the roadways and impede traffic

364
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 5: and also impeded federal law enforcement operations. So you do

365
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 5: have the sheriff out there who is kind of enforcing

366
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 5: law as well. So you see them working with them,

367
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 5: but they're getting a lot of backlash from the protesters

368
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 5: being called collaborators, saying that they're helping ICE when it

369
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 5: comes to the federal building. So you don't see them

370
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 5: out there, like you said, they're not conducting immigration enforcement

371
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 5: under two eighty seven G or anything like that. They're

372
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 5: not helping them and working in lockstep with them. They

373
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 5: will be doing things like closing roadways things like that,

374
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: responding to incidents where say someone's vehicle was rammed or

375
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 5: something like that. In ice, the federal law enforcement calls

376
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 5: in for local backup for crowd control. You'll see things

377
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 5: like that. But again, as far as I know, they're

378
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 5: not going to be assisting in any capacity when it

379
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 5: comes to immigration enforcement.

380
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: All right, Ali Bradley News Nation Cable TV News, do

381
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: your best minus one minus twenty wins show.

382
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 2: That's the joke.

383
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir, God bless you.

384
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: All right, thank you for coming on and coming up

Speaker 1: after two o'clock. I know we've got something here. Oh,

386
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: we've got more immigration news. Alex Stone's coming on because

387
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: San Clemente voted to approve at US Customs and Border

388
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: Protection high powered video surveillance system that can zoom into

389
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: details from miles away to focus on the coast line,

390
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 1: and that's where human and drug smuggling boats had been

391
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: arriving over the years. So Alex Stone ABC News is

392
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: going to explain that.

393
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI six.

394
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Alex Stone coming up after two o'clock

395
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 1: because San Clemente is going to be allowing the installation

396
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: of a US Customs and Border Protection video surveillance system

397
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,239
Speaker 1: to track human and drug smuggling that those boats come

398
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: up on the beach. So that's right after two o'clock. Now,

399
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: I wanted to congratulate my wife, Debra Zarra, Debra Zera Cobelt.

400
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,280

00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: she interviewed.

404
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: It was you.

Speaker 2: How about that. That's pretty cool, very cool.

408
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and unfortunately very tragic story that Deborah Mark

409
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: had to tell about finding her mother years ago who

410
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: had committed suicide. But it was quite a gripping interview

411
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: and it deserves an honor.

412
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, your wife did a really good job interviewing me.

413
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: So I congratulated her. I sent her a text last night.

Speaker 4: As the guest.

418
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 2: It's quite quite.

419
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: Moving on to Gavin Newsom, do we have a Yeah,

420
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: we got a couple of minutes here, Gavin Newsom, you

421
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: know you could tell this guy's a sociopath because he

422
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: is a stumbling embarrassment in Davos, Switzerland at this World

423
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: Economic Forum after yesterdays display. I mean, he is just

424
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: a fool, and he either doesn't know he's a fool

425
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: or he doesn't care. And he was speaking again today

426
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: at the World Economic Forum on stage with some I

427
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: don't know what kind of stooge's interviewing him, but he's

428
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 1: sitting there and looking grim and listen to what he's

429
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 1: proud of.

430
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 7: Do you think that your party went too far or

431
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 7: that you went too far? And I think, for instance,

432
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 7: you know, in extending medical to the California Healthcare Program

433
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 7: to undocumented immigrants, like do you I guess on the

434
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 7: big picture? In the small picture? Yeah, I feel like

435
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 7: you went too far.

436
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 4: Two different questions. Do I believe in universal health care? Yes,

437
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 4: regardless of pre existing conditions, ability to pay, and your status.

438
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 4: I campaign on that, we delivered on that, and I'm

439
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 4: proud of that. We're one of sixteen states to provide

440
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 4: care to people regardless of immigration status. By the way,

441
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: we have universal care in emergency rooms and you pay

442
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 4: the price on the back end at least Americans for that,

443
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 4: regardless your immigration status.

444
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: So he's proud of this. He's proud of this even

445
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: though it is illegal to spend federal money on illegal

446
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: alien healthcare. Federal law prohibits illegal aliens from receiving Medicaid benefits,

447
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: and Gavin Newsom goes up on the Davos stage to

448
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: talk about how proud he is that he's breaking the

449
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: law and giving them the money anyway, and the federal

450
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: government wants it back, which means it's just it's going

451
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,239
Speaker 1: to be more money that state taxpayers you is going

452
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: to have to spend on this illegal alien healthcare boondoggle.

453
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: There is.

454
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: An organization called Deciding to Win and they have published

455
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: a lengthy research paper and they pulled Americans on one

456
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety topics one hundred and ninety topics to

457
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: see how much popular support there is for one issue

458
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: or another. Do you know what came in at number

459
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty seven out of one hundred and

460
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:28,439
Speaker 1: ninety issues providing free healthcare to illegal aliens? It is

461
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: third from the bottom from being the least popular issued

462
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: to run on. Out of one hundred and ninety choices,

463
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: it's at one eighty seven. The only thing that pulls

464
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: worse than free illegal alien healthcare is abolishing prisons and

465
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: abolishing the police, which, of course Newsom's crowd was running

466
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 1: on five years ago in twenty twenty during the George

467
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: Floyd nervous breakdown. That year, it was abolished the police.

468
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: Now he's running on free healthcare and illegal aliens. He

469
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: almost I mean, that's not easy to do. There are
