I know, I can't. I can't. 11 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 2: It's very difficult finding correct information, truthful information, just to 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: be able to bring it to you in the proper perspective. 13 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 2: Coming up after two o'clock, you may have heard that 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: there's a businessman in Santa Monica who is offering he's 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 2: got an organization, Santa Monica Coalition, and he's offering free 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 2: playing flights or bus tickets one way out of town 17 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: if you're homeless, go back and rejoin your family and friends. 18 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: And it looks like, uh, there's there's a lot of 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: interest among the vagrants too, even even they're sick of 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 2: the los Angeles area. They're fed up with Kevin Newseman 21 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 2: and Karen Bass. Although John Ally is based in Santa Monica. 22 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 2: We've had one on the show a number of times, 23 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: and he's like about the only person in Santa Monica 24 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: who's trying to fight the h the absolute rotten decay 25 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: that has taken over there. Every day, I just shake 26 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: my head. It's what happened to that, to that place 27 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: formerly a jewel which which reminds me I meant to 28 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 2: mention this yesterday. Over the weekend, we went to Pageant 29 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: of the Masters in Laguna Beach, which is a great 30 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: event for two months every summer in Laguna Beach at 31 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: the Irvine Ball They bring paintings and sculptures to life. 32 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: It's hard to explain. You have to see it really 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 2: to understand it. We've invited many friends over the years 34 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 2: and they say, well, what is it. I go, you 35 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: just have to see it. But what they have is 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: actors who recreate paintings and sculptures. And I know that 37 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: sounds ridiculous, but really it's great. And they reek with 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: lighting and with makeup and costumes they recreated so it 39 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: looks like a real painting up there. 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: Are real sculptures. It's very cool. 41 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: And the theme this year was California, basically California Art, 42 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 2: and they took you on a tour to all the 43 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: great museums in Los Angeles and San Diego and Hearst Castle, Sacramento, 44 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,119 Speaker 2: San Francisco and showed you some of the artworks recreated 45 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: by these live actors. And the thing was, it was 46 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 2: such a happy show because it was about all the 47 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: beauty of California's history and it just reminded me of 48 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: me and my wife of when we moved here back 49 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 2: in the nineties and just how glorious this place was. 50 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: It's like, oh yeah, I remember, I remember when California 51 00:02:58,600 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: was like that. 52 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: It wasn't that long ago. I mean you go back 53 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: maybe ten years and it was like that. And it's 54 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 2: a tremendous show this year at the Pageant of the Masters. 55 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 2: But you know, driving home, I was like pissed off. 56 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 2: It's like, how dare these people do this? And I'm 57 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 2: talking about the progressives the bass knew some Garcetti, Jerry 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: Brown crowd. How dare these progressives destroy so much beauty, 59 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: so much that we enjoy, And you know, I just 60 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 2: wanted to roll down the window on the four h 61 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: five midnight driving home, just scream my head off. But 62 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: it's a great show and you definitely should go this 63 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: year down to Irvine. Now, the El Segundo Times is 64 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: suffering from a major relapse. There was a brief period 65 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: where the owner, Patrick sun Chian, got interested in the 66 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: content of The Times and he wanted to present a 67 00:03:53,760 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: more balanced news presentation, and he gave a round of 68 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: interviews and he just wanted them to present straight news 69 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 2: and enough with the progressive left wing nonsense. And those 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 2: are the only opinion columns. And well, you know he's busy. 71 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 2: I mean, he's literally looking for cures for cancer, and 72 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 2: maybe he's got a hot lead on a cancer cure. 73 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: But once again the La Times has been left unattended 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 2: and they are putting out so many lies, so much bs, 75 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: so much garbage every day that I can't stomach it. 76 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: It's a terrible way to wake up in the morning 77 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: because I know this stuff isn't true. I know it's 78 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: not true, and if you go to other outlets, it's 79 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: proven that this is a back of lies. Well, one 80 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 2: of the things they're doing is they have constant sob 81 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 2: stories about the immigrants who are deported or fear they're 82 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: going to get deported, And I always use the me test, 83 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: what would I do? Would I ever go to a 84 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 2: foreign country, take my family there, or start giving birth 85 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: to babies in the foreign country, knowing that it's illegal, 86 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: knowing that if I'm caught, it's going to be a disaster. 87 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: They're going to deport me. I'm going to lose everything 88 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: I have. I'm going to lose my house, I'm going 89 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 2: to lose my kids, potentially going to lose my job, 90 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 2: and whatever small games I may have made in the 91 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: last few years coming to America illegally, everything's going to 92 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 2: go open smoke, you know, real fast, and it could 93 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 2: be very sudden and very traumatic. And I'm thinking, why 94 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 2: would you do that? During the last hour listening to KFI. 95 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: I don't know how often these these ads run. Christy 96 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 2: nom is always on the station. I don't know if 97 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: they did some market research and they think there's a 98 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: certain percentage of the CAFI audience is here illegally. 99 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: I don't know how that works. 100 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 3: I see it every single morning, numerous times. When I'm 101 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: watching TV news, I'm seeing. 102 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: The TV commercial. 103 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, well, some of the some of the channels 104 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: in LA you could see. 105 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: Why they might have a large migrant viewership. KFI. I 106 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: don't know. 107 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: They spent a lot of money, and I'm glad. How 108 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: often do those commercials run? Eric, I gave you twice 109 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 2: a show? Oh yeah, I mean if not more. Yeah, 110 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 2: it seemed it seems like they're un constantly. So they've 111 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: made a big investment. Nobody can say that. And I 112 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: imagine on the Spanish language stations in town, they and 113 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 2: the Spanish television stations they made even a bigger investment, 114 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 2: so nobody could say they don't know what the law is. 115 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I just imagine if I tried to escape 116 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: to Poland, right and I start having kids in Poland 117 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: and I'm working illegally and I'm living illegally, and I'm 118 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 2: turning on the TV, and you know, the Polish president 119 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: is on TV or the Polish border security heads on TV. 120 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: It's like I'd be coming home saying, you know, this 121 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 2: is probably a bad idea. It looks like we got 122 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: a new president, there's a new policy. We knew this 123 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: could happen. You know, we have to we have to 124 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: make other plans. I don't understand it was an act 125 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: so shocked and amazed. Trump ran on this for what 126 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: ten years from his very first words as a candidate 127 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, you realized it is over ten years. 128 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: We're in the eleventh year of the Trump era, and 129 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: he followed through. And so why in the world would 130 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: you come here not knowing there was a great risk 131 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: that if he gets elected, all the laws were going 132 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: to change. No, well, actually the laws didn't change, the 133 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: policies changed. The policies changed to follow the law. But 134 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: in the LA Times and I will waste my time 135 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: reading the SOBS story about you know, the mother and 136 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: the father and the kids, and how long they've been 137 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: here and they've been working and they got three little 138 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 2: kids born in America. You read one of these stories 139 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: La Times prints several a day. But what I discovered 140 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: here is that since twenty eighteen, sixty thousand parents of 141 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: the US citizen children have been deported. This is according 142 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: to ICE data. Now, twenty eighteen would would cover four No, 143 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: it would cover all four of Biden's years, right, twenty 144 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty twenty would be Trump, twenty one to 145 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four would be Biden. So Biden his administration 146 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 2: deported thousands and thousands of parents whose kids were US citizens. 147 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: And then elsewhere in the story it said from twenty 148 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: fourteen to twenty eighteen, there were eighty to one hundred 149 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 2: thousand US citizen children in Mexico. They had to move 150 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 2: to Mexico with their deported parents. Well, that covers three 151 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 2: years of Obama. So it looks like during the Obama 152 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: and the Biden administration, tens of thousands of parents were 153 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 2: sent to Mexico and tens of thousands of children had 154 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: to accompany their parents. So what Trump may be doing 155 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: it in bigger numbers, eventually bigger numbers. He's not doing 156 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 2: anything differently. It's just a matter of how much focus 157 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: the Trump administration puts on these deportations, a much much 158 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 2: bigger focus, obviously, But there's no ground being broken here. 159 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 2: Obama and Biden kicked out tens of thousands of parents, 160 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: and tens of thousands of children who were US citizens 161 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: had to follow their parents back to the home country. 162 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: Of course, you know, that's many paragraphs down in the story, 163 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: and that's not the lead, and they don't have analysis 164 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 2: pieces written or columns to give you that particular perspective 165 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: that this is a continuation of long standing policy of 166 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: both Democratic and Republican administrations. Talk more about this coming up. 167 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 168 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 4: six forty. 169 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: Talking about that La Times piece on the thousands of 170 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 2: parents who get deported and have been deported. As I said, 171 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 2: throughout the Obama administration, the Biden administration, and the two 172 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: Trump administrations. There may be more leaving now, but it's 173 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 2: always happened always. And if you come if you come 174 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 2: here and you think, all right, I'm going to try 175 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: to see if I can make it. I know the 176 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 2: laws are all against me. I know if they want 177 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 2: they could do massive sweeps and I'm screwed. But if 178 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: I give birth to my kids here, they're citizens, so 179 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: we'll just leave them. And that's what's happen. But they 180 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 2: knew upfront and it was part of the plan. A 181 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 2: lot of these parents will leave their kids with relatives 182 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: or friends. You have to work that out with the 183 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 2: Department of Homeland Security and they make sure the kids. 184 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: Are transferred safely. 185 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,479 Speaker 2: There's a five and a half million American children citizens 186 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 2: who have an illegal alien household member. Two million of 187 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: them are under the age of six. And what I find, 188 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: and this is true with a lot of issues going 189 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 2: on these days, people just don't want to accept what 190 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 2: the truth and what the law is. And they keep 191 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: thinking that if they express a lot of emotion or 192 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 2: say but and then spew out more emotion than that 193 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 2: changes the facts, and it doesn't. And the person insisting 194 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: on the facts and insisting on the law, you always 195 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: end up sounding like an a hole. 196 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: You do because we have a. 197 00:11:55,200 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 2: Culture that runs on emotion now used to run on 198 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 2: facts in truth. Now it's on emotions. So if you're 199 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 2: one of these facts people, you're the problem. You're the 200 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 2: a whole, you're the bad guy. 201 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: You tell people as a fact. 202 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: It's like, hey, if you look up, we've had hundreds 203 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 2: of years of immigration law on the books. We've had 204 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 2: court decisions going back hundreds of years as to who 205 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 2: in the federal government exercises the power. Everybody who pays 206 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: attention knows how it works. And sometimes you get presidents 207 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 2: who have administrations that decide that, well, we're not going 208 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: to enforce these laws all that much. You know, we're 209 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: going to exercise your discretion. Well they do it, but 210 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 2: their terms end, and sometimes the public doesn't like the 211 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: looseness of their policy. 212 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: That's what happened here. 213 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 2: They didn't like it in twenty sixteen, they didn't like 214 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 2: it in twenty twenty four. You have a guy like 215 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: Trump who says I'm going to be tough, I'm deporting everybody. 216 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: We're sailing off the border, and vote for me or 217 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 2: don't vote for me, so he wins. Now, you can't 218 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 2: expect a guy who for over ten years has been 219 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 2: running on a particular issue, and that issue happens to 220 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 2: be in the top two during this election cycle, and 221 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: his opponent was part of the administration that had the 222 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: complete opposite philosophy. It was a this is something A 223 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: lot of people voted on this and inflation. So it 224 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 2: was clearcut Biden Harris had this philosophy. Trump had this philosophy. 225 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: Votes wins, most Electoral College votes wins. 226 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: So that happened. 227 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 2: Now it's been six months. Every station in town is 228 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 2: running ads in English and Spanish. It's like, you got 229 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 2: to go, and if you go voluntarily, we'll give you 230 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: a thousand dollars and you'll be at the front of 231 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: the line to come back. You never should have done this. 232 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 2: To begin with, all our laws are public everybody. Everybody 233 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 2: could find a database online and read what immigration laws. 234 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: Everybody can read the Supreme Court decisions. This is obviously 235 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: covered heavily in the news, although it's covered very sloppily 236 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: on purpose by let's say the La Times or Channel 237 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 2: five or Channel seven. Right, they focus on the emotions. 238 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: And if you focus on the emotions. 239 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: WHOA, this is horrible. 240 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, this is horrible. But how many years were 241 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 2: you warned you knew coming? Why do you think you 242 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 2: had to pay a drug card tel smuggler? This is 243 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: what really like stuns me the people these people, Like 244 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: in the La Times, they have a story about a 245 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: family who they moved from Mexico because the drug cartels 246 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 2: controlled their region. So their response was to come here. 247 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: Except to get here you have to pay the drug 248 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 2: cartels thousands of dollars and either you have the cash 249 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: up front or once you come here and you get 250 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 2: a job, you've got to pay the drug cartel part 251 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 2: of your salary until your debt is cleared. And if 252 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 2: the kids are coming alone, then they have to work 253 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: like at that glass house marijuana farm, those fourteen kids, 254 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: whatever money they were quote earning had to be turned 255 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: over to the drug cartels. Now this is bad, isn't 256 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: it Having a system where an employer might be in 257 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 2: cahoots with a drug cartel to put teenagers in slave 258 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 2: labor until they pay off their debts to the cartel. 259 00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like a system we ought to be 260 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 2: uh embracing. Do you know anybody who thinks we should? 261 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: Because all the outrage over the marijuana farm getting busted, 262 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 2: I haven't heard anybody address that issue. 263 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: You don't really says. 264 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: Saying about the news coverage and also the most of 265 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: the politicians. I heard Gavin Newsom speaking out, are you 266 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: in favor of the slave trade for teenagers? 267 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 3: I heard on a news report this morning, a TV 268 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 3: news report, and I'm not sure who was attributing who 269 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: this was attributed to, but somebody said that these pot 270 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 3: farms are exempt and they're allowed to hire miners. 271 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: I I can't imagine that that's true. 272 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 3: I was pretty surprised, but that was on ABC seven. 273 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 2: Abyes, Well, there you go, ABC seven, higher miners. 274 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: Yes, that they are exempt? Well is it is? I 275 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: they're exempt? 276 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna have to do some digging. 277 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: But that's well about this. We exactly story. 278 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 2: You could work as a minor, we all did, but 279 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: under those conditions without parents, and your money has to 280 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: pay off the cartels. 281 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 3: And talk about the money being off the cartel. 282 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 2: Of course they didn't. I mean, it's like getting a 283 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: job at Burger King when you were sixteen years old, right, 284 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: you could get your working papers? 285 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: But didn't you have to lie? In my state? 286 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: In New Jersey, you turned a certain age Let's say 287 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 2: it was sixteen, I don't remember exactly, and you apply 288 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,160 Speaker 2: for working papers and you're allowed to work certain number 289 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 2: of hours, Let's say it's twenty hours, and you can 290 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,719 Speaker 2: go flip burgers and shake the fried basket all summer. 291 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 2: They can't put you to work for eighty hours a week, 292 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 2: and you're working for minimum wage. 293 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 3: But you had to be sixteen California, because I remember, 294 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 3: you had to be sixteen, right, Yeah, you cannot be 295 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 3: younger than sixteen. 296 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: Right, So. 297 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: If you're harboring these kids and they don't have the 298 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,239 Speaker 2: parents around, I'm assuming you're abusing the kids. I just 299 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: I can't see how you're not. And those salaries have 300 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 2: to pay off the drug cartels. I mean, that's how 301 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 2: the business works. So you start engaging in all kinds 302 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 2: of stuff that breaks the law that no normal person 303 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 2: would do. And then that doesn't work out because the 304 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 2: Americans are not going to put up with unlimited illegal 305 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 2: immigration forever. 306 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: They're just not. 307 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 2: And we've had the repeated instances, and most of the 308 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: time the Democratic Party agreed mostly with the Republican Party policies. 309 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: Clinton did, Obama? Did you know? This was a new 310 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,680 Speaker 2: thing with Biden where it was total, wide open borders. 311 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 2: Bush was really bad too. He was the worst Republican 312 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 2: president with his policies. All right, when we come back, 313 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to explain about Karen Bass's background. You may 314 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 2: have heard stories over the years that she was very 315 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: much enamored with Cuba and Fidel Castro. Well, I spent 316 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: a little time this morning searching the internet, and I 317 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: put together a bit of a story about Karen Bass. 318 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 2: If you wonder why Los Angeles has turned into an shole, 319 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: there's a reason. She thought Cuba was a great place, 320 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 2: and she thought Castro is a great leader. And she 321 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: thought that when she was very young, and she was 322 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,719 Speaker 2: very involved in traveling and even working in Cuba and 323 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: admiring Castro. I'll tell you the whole story when we 324 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: come back. 325 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A 326 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 4: six forty. 327 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 2: After two o'clock. We're going to have a businessman, John 328 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 2: Ally on. He's got a group called Santa Monica Coalition 329 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: and they are put together a program offering homeless people 330 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 2: one way tickets out of town to be united with 331 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 2: their friends and family and get off the streets of 332 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 2: Santa Monica. John Alley after two o'clock. A few days ago. 333 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: I don't go on social media much, but I was 334 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: glancing at Facebook and UH as part of. 335 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: Now I just have my own odd obsessions. But I'm 336 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: on a feed that. 337 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: I forgot even the name of it, but it's kind 338 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: of local activist groups involved in local issues, right. And 339 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: one of the guys had posted on Los Angeles Time 340 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 2: story from November twenty eighth, nineteen eighty three. 341 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: So we're talking, you know, almost. 342 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: Thirty two years ago, and Karen Bass was featured in 343 00:20:53,720 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 2: the story thirty years old then, and here it is, 344 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 2: and this is what I've referenced occasionally about. Bass had 345 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 2: spent a lot of time admiring and immersing herself in 346 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 2: Cuban politics and Fidel Castro's philosophies. And of course that 347 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 2: always sounds like a cheap shot from a radio host, right, 348 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: Except it's very real, and it explains why she's content 349 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: with the way Los Angeles has degraded so much. And 350 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: it's why she was in MacArthur Park screaming at ice 351 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 2: agents instead of attending the media event marking the sixth 352 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 2: anniversary or the six month anniversary of the Palisades fires. 353 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: She's not interested in the Palisades people, Believe me. You'll 354 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: see as time goes on. She's zero interest in rebuilding 355 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 2: the Palisades. She has great interest in keeping the illegal 356 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 2: aliens protected. 357 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 4: Here. 358 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: What does this go back to? Well, in nineteen eighty three, 359 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: La Times two writers Joel Sippel and Roxanne Arnold wrote 360 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: about how there was a legal showdown between the ACLU 361 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 2: and the LA Police Chief. At the time, the famous 362 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 2: Darrel Gates ACLU had filed lawsuit against the LAPD claiming 363 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: that Gates had his people spying on certain Angelinos for 364 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: their political activities, and one of the plaintiffs in the 365 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 2: ACLU lawsuit was Karen Bass. I'll read you this verbatim. 366 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 2: Plaintiff Karen Bass, according to a nineteen seventy three intelligence 367 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 2: document provided to the Times, this is from LABD traveled 368 00:22:54,359 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 2: to Cuba with the sixth contingent of the then Serramos Brigade. 369 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 2: That sounds like some kind of military organization right when 370 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 2: you use the word brigade, the sixth contingent of the 371 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 2: Vance Serramos Brigade. The brigade trains revolutionary prone Americans in 372 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: terrorist tactics and guerrilla warfare while claiming to harvest sugarcane. 373 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 2: So I looked up in Wikipedia the history of this organization. 374 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: And it's true. It's a real thing. 375 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,160 Speaker 2: And here it is VNCE Serramos Brigade formed in nineteen 376 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 2: sixty nine. Political organization. It's purpose solidarity with Cuba. They 377 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 2: traveled to Cuba and they provide volunteer labor. At the time, 378 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: Carl Oglesby was the creator. Bernardine Dorn was the director. 379 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: Nineteen sixty nine. They were founded by members of the 380 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 2: Students for a democraticss Society SDS and officials of the 381 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 2: Republic of Cuba. So these the Cuban government reached out 382 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 2: to radical college students at the time other young people 383 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 2: to show solidarity with the Cuban revolution. 384 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: And the American. 385 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 2: Kids were supposed to work side by side in the 386 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 2: sugar cane fields and other jobs. Now Bass apparently was 387 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: working in construction, and while in the US, the the 388 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 2: group met by regions to supervise, recruit and thunder raise 389 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 2: for the trips. Vince ramos means we shall triumph in Spanish, 390 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: and so this was promoted as an educational and inspiring experience, 391 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 2: and the brigade itself, according to Wikipedia, was designed to 392 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: encompass members from all radical movements in the United States, 393 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 2: from black power radicals to anti war student activists, and 394 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: it goes on and on going through the history. 395 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 1: You could read this yourself. 396 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 2: But going back to the lawsuit between the ACOU and 397 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: Daryl Gates, Bass was characterized in this investigation as a 398 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: brigade leader returning from Cuba to the USA bringing back 399 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 2: propaganda literature. So The Times called thirty year old Karen 400 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: Bass described her as a surprised Bass a physician's assistant, 401 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 2: and she said her eight trips to Cuba were educational 402 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: and had nothing to do with terrorism. So Karen Pass 403 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: made eight trips to communist Cuba during the nineteen seventies 404 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 2: and eighties, and she said in an interview, I'm angry 405 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 2: and shocked that they would use this allegation and to 406 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 2: try to attempt to smear me personally and the brigade. 407 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 2: The brigade she described thence Ramos Brigade as an educational project. 408 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: See that was the cover story. By the way, this 409 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: group that made this. 410 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: Brigade, they eventually formed the Weather Underground, which was a 411 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: huge terrorist operation in New York City in the nineteen seventies. 412 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 2: They were exploding things that were bombing sites in New 413 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 2: York City. They were killing police officers. And that was 414 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 2: a sister organization of what BASS belonged to, and she 415 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: said it provided members with an opportunity to gain closer 416 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 2: knowledge of the Cuban people by helping with construction projects. 417 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 2: No one ever came in contact with the Cuban military 418 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 2: or received any type of military training, and then claiming 419 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: that she learned to shoot a gun from an LAPD officer, 420 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: So she had immersed herself for many years. But she's thirty, 421 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: But for many years she'd already been deeply involved in 422 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 2: Cuban politics. And she found cashed her to be quite charismatic. 423 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,479 Speaker 2: Now I found another interview, I'll guide into this when 424 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 2: we come back. In twenty twenty, Karen Bass was near 425 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 2: the top of the list to be Joe Biden's vice 426 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 2: president and all this Cuba activity came up, and that's 427 00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: what kept her from being vice president. 428 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 3: I have a question, a real quick question for you. 429 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,680 Speaker 3: Who would you have preferred as his vice president? Karen 430 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 3: Bass or Kamala Harris who he chose. 431 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 2: You know, Karen Bass would have done better because she's 432 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 2: able to speak out loud, coherently, and even though she's 433 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 2: got a toxic philosophy, she would have sold it better. 434 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: Karen. 435 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 2: And the biggest issue with Kamala is she just is 436 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 2: like her brain is defunct. It just doesn't work. Karen 437 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: Bass can sell her nonsense and she's found plenty of believers, 438 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 2: so she's actually more dangerous. 439 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 440 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 4: six forty. 441 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 2: John Ally the businessman in Santa Monica, coming up after 442 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 2: two o'clock. He and his allies have a program to 443 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 2: give homeless people one way tickets out of town. Let's 444 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 2: see if that business is drawing enough customers to change 445 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 2: things in Santa Monica, which is really disgusting. But if 446 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 2: you wonder why Karen Bass has an affinity for a 447 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 2: disgusting environment. She was absolutely, as to this day, in 448 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 2: love with Cuba and in love with Fidel Castro's philosophies. 449 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 2: And as I mentioned in the last segment, somebody posted 450 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 2: a clip from the La Times from nineteen eighty three. 451 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 2: She was being investigated by the police chief at the time, 452 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: Darryl Gates, and the ACLU was filing a lawsuit against 453 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 2: LAPD over the investigations that Gates was doing was conducting 454 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 2: against Karen Bass and others for other reasons. And so 455 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 2: I went trolling around the Internet and found out that 456 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 2: this organization she belonged to was the Vinceeramos Brigade, and 457 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 2: Wikipridia describes him as a group of far left radical 458 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 2: students and young people at the time in the nineteen 459 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 2: seventies she joined, and she took eight trips to Cuba 460 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: back in the nineteen seventies and eighties. Now, because she 461 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 2: ended up being at the near the top of Biden's 462 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: vice presidential list in twenty twenty, she had to explain 463 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 2: all this Cuba stuff in her background. So she talked 464 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: to a left wing writer, Edward Isaac de Voor for 465 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 2: left wing magazine The Atlantic dot Com to get I 466 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 2: guess kind of a gentle interrogation as to what this 467 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: is about. And Isaac Devau rather Divore writes, she's the 468 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 2: only person on Biden's list who spent part of the 469 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 2: nineteen seventies working construction in Fidel Castro's Cuba with the 470 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:26,480 Speaker 2: Vinceramus Brigade that organized trips to Cuba for young leftist 471 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 2: Americans for half a century. And the brigade was a 472 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 2: joint venture of the Castro government and the Students for 473 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 2: a Democratic Society, which, as I said before, was a 474 00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: leftist anti war organization that gave birth to the Weather 475 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 2: Underground terrorist group who in New York City blew tried 476 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 2: to blow up a lot of buildings and killed police. 477 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 2: So this was a cousin of that group, a sister organization. 478 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: And again, and the story is from twenty twenty, and 479 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 2: DeVore writes, how they're worries that Bass is. If Bass 480 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 2: becomes the vice presidential pick, given her history in Havana, 481 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 2: that would really screw things up in Florida because there's 482 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: so many Cuban voters in Florida, all who fled Castro, 483 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 2: and they're not gonna want to deal with a woman 484 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 2: who is enamored with Castro. And she admits in this 485 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 2: story that she found him extremely charismatic, extremely charismatic, even 486 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 2: though she didn't understand it word he. 487 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 1: Said because he was speaking Spanish. Wow. 488 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 2: I wonder if she blacked out like that woman in 489 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: South Carolina did when she met Newsom. And there's a 490 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: Florida consultant named Fernando Amandi, and he referenced Bernie Sanders 491 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 2: saying at the time that it's unfair to simply say 492 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 2: everything is bad about Castro's government, And Amandi said, fairly 493 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 2: or unfairly, Karen Bass's history on this subject makes Bertie 494 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 2: Sanders look like Ronald Reagan. And this is a Democratic consultant. 495 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 2: Karen Bass was so far left, so deep into the 496 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 2: socialism and communism of Fidel Castro, that this democratic consultant 497 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 2: thought Sanders looked like Ronald Reagan. In comparison, there were 498 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 2: some Democrats at the time that were hoping that if 499 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 2: Biden picks Bass, they were hoping at least most people 500 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: in America just weren't going to care that Bass was 501 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 2: basically a radical socialist, communist Bassi's High school in Los Angeles, 502 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 2: according to DeVore, was the kind of place where students 503 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: were always striking or boycotting something. 504 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,120 Speaker 1: This is what she said. 505 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,959 Speaker 2: Her Spanish teacher, like many of her teachers and other 506 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: leftist radicals of the sixties and seventies, talked warmly about Cuba, 507 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 2: where Castro's Revolution was less than two decades old. This 508 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 2: wasn't uncommon. Some Americans on the left, including some black activists, 509 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 2: celebrated the Cuban Revolution and the toppling of the old 510 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 2: government as the end of a racist system. 511 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 1: According to. 512 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 2: One person, to be a member of the brigade, you 513 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 2: had to be confirmed as a Marxist Leninist. It was 514 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: an undercover agent who took a trip to Cuba with 515 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 2: what was described in The Times as the Red Youth Unit, 516 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 2: which means it was a group of communist kids, the 517 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 2: Vin Sarahmos Brigade. Her organization was the subject of a 518 00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 2: nineteen seventy two House Subcommittee report titled the Theory and 519 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 2: Practice of Communism in nineteen seventy two Than Sarahmos Brigade, 520 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 2: and they wanted to learn whether these young members were idealistic, 521 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,120 Speaker 2: maybe misguided, young people who wanted to go down to 522 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 2: help with the crops in Cuba with a regime that 523 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 2: they're sympathetic for, or if they were down there to 524 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 2: sharpen their revolutionary talents and perhaps export revolution. Well, a 525 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 2: lot of those people did. They came back and joined 526 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 2: for him to join the weather Underground in New York 527 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 2: City and started killing police officers and bombing buildings. Bass 528 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 2: says she didn't join the Weathermen, they were a white group. 529 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 2: She went to Cuba eight times in the nineteen seventies, 530 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 2: has been back at least eight times since. 531 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 4: And. 532 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 2: She kept up her interest in Cuba after she joined 533 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 2: the California Assembly. She went to Cuba again in two 534 00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 2: thousand and five. She's returned several times since the after 535 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 2: being elected to the House in twenty ten. In fact, 536 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 2: I won't be surprised during the next fire she might 537 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 2: be in Cuba instead of Africa. After another section of 538 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 2: Los Angeles burns down, so the people of Los Angeles, 539 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 2: not knowing any better, a majority voted for somebody who 540 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:33,960 Speaker 2: was who developed a strong affinity for communism and tries 541 00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 2: as best she can to institute as harsh a socialistic 542 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,840 Speaker 2: government as she can here in America. That's what she 543 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 2: was attracted to, that's what she sought out, and after 544 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 2: spending so many years traveling to Cuba and back and 545 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 2: immersing herself among all these radical leftists, it's part of 546 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 2: her soul, it's part of her belief system. 547 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: And that's why. 548 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 2: A few days ago, on the six month anniversary of 549 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,239 Speaker 2: the fire, she didn't go and do the media press 550 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,879 Speaker 2: conference with Newsom to explain to the Palace Ages people 551 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 2: what's going on. What she did as she ran to 552 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:19,200 Speaker 2: scream at American law enforcement and try to protect illegal aliens. 553 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 2: That's her loyalty, that's her primary interest. 554 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: It's not us. You go look it up yourself, you 555 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: tell me where I'm wrong.
