1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Can if I am six forty you're listening to the 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app Live everywhere on 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 2: Welcome. This is some historic day, isn't it. 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: We are going to be on from one until four, 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: and you're going to want to remember this day. This 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: is the day that life changed across America in a 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: lot of ways. And I am hoping we could get 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: that day here in California where things change permanently for 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: the better, because much of the rest of the country 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: is having a big party today and we're left out 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: because we wake up here in Los Angeles and Karen 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: Bass is still the mayor, the city council is what 14 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: they are, Gavin Newsom is still the governor, and people 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: are feeling happy and optimistic, and there are new executive 16 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: orders being signed as we speak to radically change the 17 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: way the federal government it runs in so many ways, 18 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: and yet we're stuck looking at and looking and smelling 19 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: the smoldering ruins of a once great section of Los 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: Angeles which was facilitated by gross incompetence and negligence. And 21 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: I can tell you this, if you're in Pacific Palisades 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: we are never going to stop pursuing the people who 23 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 1: are responsible for that feeble almost non existent response and 24 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:35,639 Speaker 1: feeble non existent preparation. And I'm targeting specifically the mayor, 25 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: the governor, upper management bureaucrats. I think what the fireman, 26 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: firefighters and the police officers have done in Los Angeles 27 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: have been spectacular, and what they have to deal. 28 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 2: With internally, you have no idea. 29 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: So it's time to demand that these bureaucrats, these political officials, 30 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: the whole sorry lot, well, first of all, they have 31 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: to go, but their performance has to be up to 32 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: the level of the firefighters and the police officers. And 33 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: I've got so much to say about that it's going 34 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: to take weeks and months to get it all out 35 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: of me. So we've got that front, and then we 36 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: have what the rest of the country is going to 37 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: be enjoying. Do you know the borders already closed. Trump 38 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: was sworn into office a minute or two after nine o'clock, 39 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: and he has signed many, many executive orders. Here are 40 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: the ones that he's signing today related to the border. 41 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: And of course some of these he had signed forty 42 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: eight years ago and then Biden reversed them and created 43 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: a disastrous situation which resulted in a lot of people dying, 44 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: a lot of damage to cities, huge financial drain, created 45 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: a lot of mayhem in the streets. 46 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 2: Biden is, I never thought. 47 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: I never thought I'd see the day where there was 48 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: somebody worse than Jimmy Carter as a president, somebody worse 49 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: than George W. 50 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: Bush. Or We've had some beauties, huh, But. 51 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: This guy by far, inner Circle Hall of Fame, worst president's, 52 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: worst president in US history, really just god awful and senile. 53 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: And here's some of the executive orders that Trump is 54 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: signing to try to clean up the mess. Now you 55 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: may wonder what an executive order specifically is. It's a 56 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: signed statement about how the president wants the federal government 57 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: to be managed. Ultimately, the president is the chief executive officer, 58 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: and so these executive orders are instructions to his staff, 59 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: the people who work under him, and the president has 60 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: full authority over the border. The Supreme Court is upheld 61 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: this several times. This has been litigated to death. There 62 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: are limitations. They have to adhere to the Constitution, but 63 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: the following things will be done. Trump has declared a 64 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: national emergency at the southern southern border, and so now 65 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: the Secretary of Defense can quickly and seamlessly deploy members 66 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: of the armed forces to the border and free up 67 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: more federal resources. And that's something that's definitely going to happen. 68 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: You're going to see the military at the border. The 69 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: borders are tom Homan said. Trump is ending the federal 70 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: catch and release program, which allows immigrants who enter the 71 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: country illegally to remain here as long as they're in 72 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: the process for asylum. No more, Homan said, stay in 73 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 1: your homeland, be safe. Crossing this country illegally is very dangerous. 74 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: Number Three, Trump's reinstating the Remain in Mexico policy, which 75 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: he had, which he had implemented back during his first term. 76 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: It requires asylum seekers to stay in Mexico until their 77 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: claims are processed. That could take years. Biden reversed the policy. 78 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: Trump has reinstated it. Number four. Trump is resuming border 79 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: wall construction. And that's another thing that Biden reversed. And 80 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: he was selling. He was selling the materials that we 81 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: had paid for. It was just auctioning them off. Trump 82 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: is designated the cartels as global terrorists. And I watched 83 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: his speech and that was one of those moments that 84 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: really got me excited. The drug cartels are a terrorist organization, 85 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: and every year the drugs they bring here kill about 86 00:05:54,839 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: seventy thousand people just through fentanyl alone, seventy thousand. And 87 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 1: I can't imagine in any other I mean, if you 88 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: had a traditional war where we were invaded by some 89 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: country and they managed to kill seventy thousand American citizens, 90 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: and then next year they invaded again and killed another 91 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: seventy thousand, and then the next year they invaded a 92 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: third time and killed another seventy thousand. You know what 93 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: we would do. But for some reason, the drug cartels 94 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: smuggling in the fentanyl, sending distributing the fentinil caused little 95 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: to no reaction from the federal government. Biden and those 96 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: idiots in his administration just stood there and watched it happen. 97 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: So it'll be global terrorists. And this again is going 98 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:55,679 Speaker 1: to require the military. Next, Trump is going to suspend 99 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: refugee resettlement for four months, so nobody could claim refugee 100 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: status anymore. For the next four months. You can't claim asylum. 101 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: You have to stay in Mexico. And there he's also 102 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: getting rid of that migrant entry app. You may have 103 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: heard of this. It's called CBP one. CBP one legalized 104 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: legal aliens. If you filled out the form online on 105 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: your phone, then they would wave you in for asylum, 106 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: and it meant you had temporary protected status until you 107 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: were hearing, which would be years away. So they didn't 108 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: They weren't vetting people anymore at the border. They were 109 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: allowing them to fill out a form and come in 110 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: and then they weren't counted as illegal aliens anymore. 111 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: That was the trick. 112 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: Whenever you hear the media, the lying media report to 113 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: you that, well, you know, numbers are down at the border. Yeah, 114 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: they're down to the border because they were given an 115 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 1: app to download on their phones to cross the border 116 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: basically over their phone in advance, and since they've been 117 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: pre legalized, that wouldn't count as an illegal crossing. 118 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: Pretty clever. 119 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: Trump's gonna end birthright citizenship children born in the US, 120 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: but parents are here illegally right now, they automatically are citizens. 121 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: The fourteenth Amendment might be the stumbling block there. It 122 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 1: guarantees American citizenship to anyone born in the US. The 123 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: language is a little bit murky, and that'll probably be 124 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: decided in court, and he may lose that one, but 125 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: this is he's laying down. He's laying down markers here. 126 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: It's like letting everybody know that the days of open 127 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: borders are gone, the days of the drug cartels getting 128 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: away with murdering seventy thousand are gone. He's also has 129 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: an order to clarify the military's role in protecting the 130 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: territorial integrity of the United States, saying this is a 131 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: national security issue. Military goes to the border Department of 132 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: Defense or ex barriers. They're going to use drones and 133 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: other surveillance, and there'll be more vetting and screening of 134 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: illegal aliens entering the country. So that alone is a 135 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: day's work. And that's only a fraction of the orders 136 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: that he has announced. But this is going to drop, 137 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: obviously completely overturn all of the failed Biden policies, and 138 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: maybe we would have young girls getting raped by escapees 139 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: from Venezuelan prisons anymore. I think the Congress is going 140 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: to pass the Lincoln Riley Act. Lincoln Riley was that 141 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: poor college girl who was jogging and she got raped 142 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: and killed by an illegal alien from Venezuela who'd been 143 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: caught a couple of times here, and it's going to 144 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: allow ICE to arrest and deport someone who gets who 145 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: gets arrested on a crime like burglary or theft, because 146 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 1: had that been in existence a couple of years ago, 147 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: Laken Riley would not have been murdered. Once he got arrested, 148 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: let's say in New York City or in Athens, he 149 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: would have immediately been deported. And so that's going to 150 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: empower the relevant agencies to do so. It's a huge change. 151 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: It when you read this stuff out loud and you 152 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: see how quickly it was implemented, it just makes you 153 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: sick that so many people had to suffer, that we 154 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: had to get overwhelmed with millions of illegal immigrants, that 155 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: cities had to be practically bankrupted with American tax dollars 156 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: because of the huge costs. 157 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was a huge. 158 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: Mess, completely necessary, unwarranted. Nobody, none of the cities deserved this, 159 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: even if the idiot woke progressives declared that the sanctuary city, 160 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: the citizens didn't deserve this. 161 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 2: Most people don't want this. 162 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: He's got huge I mean, he's got in some polls 163 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: over sixty percent support to deport everyone. You hear a 164 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: lot of people saying, well, not the hard working No, 165 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: not the women and children. No, really, go look around. 166 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: Over sixty percent of the country is ready to kick 167 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: everybody out. Now they're going to go after the criminals first, 168 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: and you know, the prisoners and the gang members. So 169 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: it's going to take a long time before you get 170 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,359 Speaker 1: to grandmother's. 171 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 172 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 3: six forty. 173 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: All right, I just told you about all the executive orders, 174 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: or most of them. There might be others I'm not 175 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: aware of yet that Trump is signing regarding illegal immigration. 176 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: The border right now is effectively closed at the ports 177 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: of entry, and the CBP one app that illegal aliens 178 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: were used were using to cross the border without harassment. 179 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: Basically they could ask for asylum while standing in Mexico. 180 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: That that got shut down. That's not working anymore. It's 181 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: it's a total total demolition of the Biden's open border policies. 182 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: Nobody's getting in Joe Biden for his part. By the way, 183 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: it looked like I thought during Trump's speed he passed away. Yeah, 184 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: did you see the speech the video I did. There 185 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: was a moment where it was like, what was the 186 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: speech we were watching where we thought he might have died. 187 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: We were watching in here. 188 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: Oh right, that's when shoot, well it was was he 189 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 4: was being briefed. Was it he being briefed on the wildfire? 190 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 2: Yeah? Maybe I don't know. Yeah, but he's. 191 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well said his eyes were closed. 192 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: His eyes were closed, definitely, I'll testify in court. His 193 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: eyes were closed. And Kamala Harris was doing the talking 194 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: because he had fallen asleep, and he looked like rigor 195 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: mortis had set in next to Trump. And Trump is 196 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: wailing away about all the terrible things that's happened over 197 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: the last seven or eight years. I'm sorry for the 198 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: last four years. And it was funny because Biden had 199 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: no reaction. 200 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: His face was so rigid. 201 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: I because you know, if somebody had insulted me like that, 202 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: or anyone that everything you've done in the last four 203 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: years was a failure, you figure there'd be some involuntary 204 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: twitch on his face, right, grimace or something, maybe flash, 205 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: some anger in his eyes. Nothing flatlined. And I was 206 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: looking It's like, this is not bothering him at all. 207 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: He must be dead now, Kna. She was stone faced. 208 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: She looked like she was being held hostage, but she was. 209 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: She's stuck on national television live and Trump is is 210 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: trashing all her work too the last four years. 211 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 4: But they expected that, don't you think they They knew 212 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: what was in store for them. And I think they 213 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 4: controlled their reactions because I knew they knew that you 214 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 4: John coblt would be talking about it. 215 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: Oh, I know, yes, you're right. 216 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: That's still got to be tough to take, though, when 217 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: when you're being ridiculed and roasted the way Biden and 218 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: Harris were being roasted. 219 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 4: And all your policies that you enacted over the four 220 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 4: years are gone. 221 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: In an instant, everything reversed. 222 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: She was, you know, she was the great borders are 223 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: And you're sitting there, You're you're you're the loser, and 224 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: you're you're attached to this dead weight Biden, and you're thinking, 225 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: what did I What did I do for the last 226 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: four years of my life? 227 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: What was the point of all this? Now? 228 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 3: You know? 229 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 1: Always having a good time sitting behind them was Bill Clinton. 230 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: I saw him smiling and laughing, and I don't know 231 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: if he's going senile too, but he I think I 232 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: think actually Trump is like a kindred spirit in some 233 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: ways because the both of them just have they have 234 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: you know, they're they're both con men, they're both they're 235 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: both womanizers, they're both you know, a certain kind of guy. 236 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: And you can tell that they used to be friends. 237 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: In fact, Hillary and Bill were at Melanie and Trump's 238 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: wedding years ago. There's a famous picture of them. So 239 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: Bill was having a good time, Biden was was disconnected, 240 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: and Kamala was I thought she was going to harden 241 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: into stone and never never move again. Now, the last 242 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: thing Biden did, and I hear that he had this 243 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes before Trump's inauguration, he pardoned five members 244 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: of his family. Now, I always said, based on the 245 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: things I've read, that I believed is basically he had 246 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: a crime family where Hunter was the point man to 247 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 1: shake down various government leaders in places like Ukraine and China, 248 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: or executives at that energy company in Ukraine and god 249 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: knows where else, and then he'd bring the money in 250 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: to provide access to Joe. Joe would get his cut, 251 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: and Hunter would also distribute the money to other members 252 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: of the family. In fact, they found a money trail 253 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: where various family members were getting checks and it looked 254 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: for all the world like some kind of influence pedling, 255 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: money laundering operation that the Bidens were involved in. And 256 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: it must be that if you thought that, you were correct, 257 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: because Joe Biden pardoned his brother James, James's wife Sarah. 258 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: Joe pardoned his sister Valerie, his brother in law, John, 259 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: Valerie's husband, and another brother, Francis So two brothers, a sister, 260 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: a brother in law, and a sister in law. They 261 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: announced the pardons less than twenty minutes before Biden ceased 262 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 1: to be president. He'd already already walked into the rotunda 263 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: to get his seat to watch Trump. Literally, the last 264 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 1: thing he did is pardon all the members of his 265 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: crime family, which means it was all true. 266 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: It was all real. 267 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: Now, the funny thing that Trump did or is doing 268 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: with one of his executive orders is he's canceling the 269 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: security clearance for the fifty one intelligence officials and other 270 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: government officials who claimed that hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation. Well, 271 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: they very cleverly weez They used clever weasel words to 272 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 1: give the strong implication that they thought it was Russian disinformation. 273 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: And of course it was a complete lie. It was. 274 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: It was just to muck up that story. But all 275 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: fifty one are losing their security clearances. Also, Biden gave 276 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: a premptive pardon to Anthony Fauci. See that's another crime 277 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: that should be invested, should have been investigated, will not 278 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: be now. Fauci, of course, sent money from his National 279 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: Institutes of Health to an agency called eco Health Alliance, 280 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: a research group, and eco Health was partnered with the 281 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: researchers in Wuhan to develop the COVID vaccine. You know 282 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: what are they called the the enhancement of the COVID vaccine, 283 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: And that part is true. He did give money to 284 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: EcoHealth Alliance. Peter dan Zach was the director of that operation. 285 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: Dan zek In turned sent the money to Wuhan and 286 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: the money was spent on enhancing the coronavirus. And it worked, 287 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: and somebody dropped a vial, somebody broke a glass, and 288 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: the virus got loose. The first victims were people who 289 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: worked in that laboratory, and then all hell broke loose 290 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: around the world for years. But Fauci's money helped finance 291 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: that particular research gain a function research, that's what. 292 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 2: They called it. 293 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 1: So Fauci's cleared retired General Mark mill cleared members of 294 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 1: the House Committee over January sixth. They've been pardoned as well. 295 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: What did they do illegal? Now, if I had done 296 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: nothing illegally, I would not accept the pardon. As far 297 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: as I know, they're all accepting the pardon, including the 298 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: family members. Right, you're totally innocent. It's like, no, no, no, 299 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to be stigmatized in this way. I 300 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: don't want my reputation stained that I got pardoned, pardon. 301 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 2: For what what did I do? 302 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: And Biden wouldn't give them a pardon unless he wanted 303 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: to save their asses. Well, I am so glad this 304 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: era is coming to an end. We've closed a couple 305 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: of doors here in California with Prop thirty six winning, 306 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: with the Nathan Hawkman taking over as DA. But we've 307 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do here. They're working 308 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: fast in Washington, d C. 309 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 2: Now here. 310 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: I wake up this morning and it's still Biden and Newsom. 311 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: Did anyone hear Newsom's iHeartRadio press conference. It was a 312 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 1: Sunday morning. 313 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: I did. 314 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: I heard some of it, same old newsommer. 315 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, That's why I didn't bother. 316 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM. 317 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: Six forty people in la are in a really bad mood, 318 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: and don't you feel out of it? Aren't we missing 319 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: the fun, the parade, the possible good times in rest 320 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 1: of America? Right? Because action is going to be taken 321 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: to make life better? And here what are we saddled with? 322 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: These these uh sick oh progressives, this bass and Newsome 323 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: team boy? Have you ever felt more pessimistic about life 324 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: in California than what's going on now? 325 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 2: Don't you wish there was a way out? Well? 326 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: In Pacific Palisades, they're starting to think that maybe they 327 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: ought to secede. And this is something that their neighbors, 328 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: Malibu did thirty five plus years ago. Around then, and 329 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: the San Fernando Valley tried to secede. It was up 330 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: for a vote some years back, but the vote failed. 331 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: And I think I don't I don't think people should 332 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: put up in the Palisades with paying the extreme amount 333 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: of tax that they pay. And when the big fire hits, 334 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: the Mayor's in Africa and there's no strike teams prepositioned 335 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: in the Palisades and they hold on to one thousand 336 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: firefighters and forty engines, and they don't send any of 337 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: them in to where the fire is happening, where the 338 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: fire was likely to happen. I mean, what, you know what, 339 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: I was in a grocery store. 340 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 2: Near my house. 341 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: I was waiting for an order I'd made it the Delhi, 342 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: and I was listening to people talk. I was eavesdropping 343 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: and there was an older woman talking to a couple. 344 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: And this older woman had evacuated for five days. She'd 345 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: gone down to Orange County, I think, to stay with friends, 346 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: and then came back to stay at a hotel in 347 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: Santa Monica. And she said, you wouldn't believe it was 348 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: a nice hotel. And she said in the bar lounge 349 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: area filled with mothers sobbing. Yeah, women were crying, the 350 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: children were playing on the floor with their pets, and 351 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: they were refugees, homeless refugees. And I just listened to 352 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: the story for a little bit and it was just 353 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: so sad. 354 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: You know. 355 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: We realized just how distraught, how broken up these these 356 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: families are now. And I you know, I mean, every 357 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: time I think about it, I get crazy mad. That's 358 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: why we're going to stay on this case. The rest 359 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: of the media is going to move on because they do, 360 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: there'll be another disaster. Trump is going to create all 361 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: kinds of distractions. But people in Los Angeles here a 362 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: people in Altadena. This is the beginning of many years 363 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: of difficulty. And James Breslo wrote a piece for California 364 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: Globe and I believe he's an attorney. I don't have 365 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: his bio in front of me here. And he wrote, 366 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: should the same politicians responsible for LA's destruction oversee its rebuilding? 367 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,400 Speaker 2: And Rick Cruso was on with us. 368 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: Right after the fire and we talked about this, what's 369 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: the point of this stupid Los Angeles two point zero 370 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: program that Newsome is touting? And Bass's l a strong slogan, 371 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: how are you going to have a new version of 372 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: the Palisades, a new version of Los Angeles? How do 373 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: people rebuild when you have the same incompetent, woke, progressive 374 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: clowns that helped create the first disaster? Like what are 375 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: they gonna do? Like what does Karen Bass know about 376 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: building thousands of homes? She didn't know anything about that. 377 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: Anyway. 378 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 1: James Bresla writes, virtually the entire town of Pacific Palisades 379 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: my home has been destroyed by the recent fire. That 380 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 1: is all one needs to know to conclude that Los 381 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: Angeles and California's leaders were grossly negligent. This simply cannot 382 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: happen in a modern, wealthy, highly taxed American city set 383 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: to host the Olympics the next Olympic Games. 384 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 2: Think about that, is there a well? 385 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: There are a few areas more, few areas wealthier than 386 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: the Palisades. There are a few cities more modern than LA. 387 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to go a long way to find 388 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: a tax rate that's higher. And yet we have half 389 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: a fire department and nobody was on firewatch. Not one 390 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: person was on firewatch. They're fascinating. But again this is 391 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: directed at the management, at the fire chief and her assistance, 392 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: not at the firefighters. 393 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 2: Breslo writes. 394 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,399 Speaker 1: Allowing the town's sole reservoir to sit empty, awaiting a 395 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: minor repair for close to a year is but one 396 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: of many examples of neglect already identified Genie Kinonyez. She 397 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: still has her job at three quarters of a million 398 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: dollars a year, reservoir is still not filled. I mean, 399 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: that's the stunning thing. When I as I talked to 400 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: people over the last couple of weeks, the reservoir thing sticks, 401 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: and people says, how how do you let that? How 402 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: do you empty that and not refill it? 403 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 2: There's no excuse. Took a month to fire. The cover. 404 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: Only costs one hundred thousand. They didn't do it, and 405 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: they're not explaining why they didn't do it. You noticed that, 406 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: he writes, Breslo a severely under resourced fire department, with 407 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: staffing at the same level as the nineteen sixties, yet 408 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: subjected to additional budget cuts. The question now is whether 409 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: these same negligent leaders should be trusted with the rebuilding 410 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: of the town. The rebuilding will be extremely complex, he 411 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: writes about the taxation in addition to a half cent 412 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: sales tax, residents, let me see here, he's afraid that 413 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: the city leaders are going to encourage low income housing 414 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: and homeless housing development in the Palisades. They have billions 415 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: to spend on such housing because of the new taxes 416 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 1: LA residents voted to impose on themselves. This was the 417 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 1: half sent sales tax, and that's what a lot of 418 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: people in the Palisades are afraid of. They're very worried 419 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 1: about that. Suddenly low income, homeless shelters are going to 420 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: be sprung up, you know, in the name of equity, 421 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: and they should be terrified. 422 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 2: This pass newsome crowd. 423 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: Believe me, behind closed doors, they think this is a great, woke, 424 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 1: progressive opportunity. It's what they've always wanted to do. And remember, 425 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 1: residents approved a mansion tax to fund homeless housing. This 426 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: is if your house is worth over five million, there's 427 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: a five percent sales tax. 428 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: And in the last two years there are areas in 429 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: LA that aren't going to. 430 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: Be developed because nobody wants to sell their building and 431 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: they the five percent tax. This is for new commercial 432 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: or high end residential development, which is the entire Palisades. 433 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: Palisades is all high end residential development. We're stuck here. 434 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: People of Palisades are stuck because even though the fire 435 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: is a shock to the system, news politics, whatever politics 436 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 1: it carries around in his head hasn't changed a bit. 437 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: And the politics inside Bass's head or those destructive clowns 438 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: of the city council, that hasn't changed. Do you know 439 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: how badly they've wanted to infiltrate wealthy neighborhoods and impose 440 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: their homeless quotas and their affordable housing quotas. The there's 441 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: going to be a huge fight, and the Palisades maybe 442 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: should go way of Malibu, And well, I'd like my 443 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: ten to get in on that too. I think LA 444 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: should be broken up into pieces. I talk about this 445 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: with people all the time. Why do we put up 446 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: on a city that's ungovernable at four hundred and sixty 447 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: seven square miles Because it is ungovernable, police are way underfunded, understaffed, 448 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: the fire department way underfunded, understaffed. Billions are spent on homelessness, 449 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: Billions are spent on illegal alien programs and excessive union 450 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: contracts for do nothing jobs. 451 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 2: I nobody wants to be a part of this anymore. 452 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: And the rest of the country, the rest of the 453 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 1: country is going to get their taxes lowered, their industry 454 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: is deregulated, They're going to be producing new supplies of energy, 455 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: so their gas prices go even lower. They're already two 456 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: bucks cheaper than we are in a lot of places. Meantime, 457 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: what are we doing. We're banning gas powered cars here. 458 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's a whole other thing. I think 459 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: I'll talk about that next. The evs that are burning 460 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: on the West Side. That you know, if an EV 461 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 1: gets set on fire, there's no way to put out 462 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: the fire, wa or doesn't work. 463 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 2: Tell you about that when we come back. 464 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 465 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 3: six forty. 466 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: We're going to talk with Susan Shelley from the Howard 467 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: Jarvis Taxpayers Association to talk about homeowners who are rebuilding. 468 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: You still are protected by Prop thirteen. You may have 469 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: maybe building a new home where the assessment will be 470 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: for much more than what it used to be worth. Well, 471 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. You're protected by Prop thirteen. And regardless 472 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: of the increase in market value of your lot and 473 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 1: what's left of your property, a huge tax increases are 474 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: against the laws. So she's going to sort that out 475 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 1: for you. Coming up, I mentioned evs. Apparently people with 476 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: evs in the Palisades, Altadena, they waited in long lines 477 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: to recharge their electric cars and one of the dangers 478 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: was these lithium ion batteries which burn extremely hot and 479 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: water doesn't put out the fire. They don't know yet 480 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: what effect that had on the fire. They've had no 481 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: time to separate the interaction of the EV batteries with 482 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: everything else that was going on. But these fires burn 483 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: up to five thousand degrees, and one expert says it's 484 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: exponentially more difficult to extinguish than a conventional car fire. 485 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: An EV can take many thousands of gallons of water 486 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: to put out, and they sometimes reignite days or weeks later. 487 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: Here's some examples of these kind of EV fires in 488 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 1: San Ramon, California. A few years ago, one couple was 489 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: burned when they had two teslas in a garage that 490 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: caught fire while they slept. One of the vehicles had 491 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: been left on a charger, and there was either a 492 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: faulty battery or a faulty electrical system. And if we'd 493 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: lived upstairs, we'd be dead. According to the homeowner. Thousands 494 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: of gallons of water were needed to extinguish the flames. 495 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: There was a woman in twenty twenty three. She and 496 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: her daughter eyed when their tesla hit a tree exploded 497 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,719 Speaker 1: in flames near their home. The husband said they wouldn't 498 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:14,839 Speaker 1: let me near the scene, and because they didn't want 499 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: him to see what had happened to his wife and 500 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,479 Speaker 1: daughter in that kind of fire. You may have heard 501 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: three young people in Piedmont California died. Their Tesla Cybertark 502 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 1: crashed into an embankment, burst into flames. They could not 503 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 1: put out the fire and they burned to death inside 504 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:40,280 Speaker 1: the car. These evy batteries are extremely dangerous. The latest 505 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 1: story was there's an evy battery storage facility in Moss 506 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: Landing up in the Monterey area. And fact, there's a 507 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: story here that the Moss Landing fire could turn back 508 00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: the clock on battery storage in California. This is a 509 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,240 Speaker 1: whole separate fire. It's between Santa Cruz and Monterey, and 510 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: they say it could be a major setback for battery storage. 511 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: The fire went off, and let me give you a 512 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: rundown of this. It stores electricity for the power grid, 513 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: and they had to evacuate two thousand people from Moss Landing, 514 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: which is south of San Jose. So one of the 515 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: largest battery storage sites in the world hosts tens of 516 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: thousands of lithium ion batteries that store electricity for the 517 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: power grid. They don't know what started the fire. They 518 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: had to evacuate for roughly eight square mile area around 519 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: the plant. Everyone had to close their windows and doors, 520 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 1: turn off their ventilation systems avoid outdoor exposure. The Newsom 521 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: was trying to sell us on this clean energy nonsense, 522 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,880 Speaker 1: and one of the one aspect is that if we 523 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:04,479 Speaker 1: use wind and solar, is there a way to store 524 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 1: the energy because the wind doesn't blow always blow and 525 00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: the sun doesn't always shine. And they say, wow, you 526 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,840 Speaker 1: know battery technology. You're gonna be held. We're going to 527 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 1: build these huge battery storage plants, so wind and solar 528 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,080 Speaker 1: create energy, and the energy can be sent into these 529 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: batteries and they'll have these massive storage systems. Well, now 530 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: they're seeing this fire, how much damage it's done, and 531 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: how difficult it was to put out, and they're thinking, huh, 532 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 1: didn't expect that, which is why we have to go 533 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: back to gas and oil for the foreseeable future, or 534 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: build some nuclear plants, which would be the best answer 535 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: of all. 536 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 2: But Newsom's vision is a bust. 537 00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: It's not going to work the vision Trump laid out 538 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,319 Speaker 1: where we're just going to start drilling like crazy and 539 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,479 Speaker 1: get all the oil natural gas that we could find 540 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: because we're sitting on a lot of it. We're sitting 541 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: on a huge mount in California. Ultimately, that's the way 542 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: we're going to go because we have to all this 543 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: other stuff is not ready. Wonderful idea can work in 544 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: limited ways, but it's not ready. The solar energy system 545 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: nowhere dear reliable, and it's very expensive. Same thing with wind, 546 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: and same thing with this battery storage stuff. It's just 547 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 1: not there. In the meantime, we're paying, you know, double 548 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: the electric electricity rates of other states, double the gasoline 549 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: rates of the other states for what. Oh, but it's 550 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,720 Speaker 1: having no effect on the climate. That's that's a complete fallacy. 551 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: It's just fanaticism, religious fanaticism. For more coming up, Susan Shelley. 552 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: Susan Shelley from the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association will be 553 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: on next. If you're rebuilding after a wildfire, you are 554 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: protected by Prop thirteen when it comes to future property taxes. 555 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,879 Speaker 1: Debora Mark Live in the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom.
