Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio
app and every day we do this between one and
four o'clock and after four o'clock. Whatever you missed, you
get on the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand also
on the All Purpose iHeartRadio app. A lot of entertainment
going on in Washington between last night's Trump speech and
(00:25):
then today there was a sanctuary city hearing before Congress,
before the House of Representatives of the committee that's investigating
these sanctuary cities. There were several mayors from Boston and
Chicago and Denver and New York City, and these are
(00:49):
all wacko progressives. And I've been listening to a lot
of the clips the highlights today and what struck me
is something that we've talked about before. This is these
this crowd. Uh, it's it's a religious like belief in
(01:10):
something that is completely nuts. I would never have expected
that the hill these progressives would die on, one of
many hills they're dying on, would be violent criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeahs, just say that phrase. What can you add to that?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
They're violent criminal illegal aliens convicted or accused they're they're
gang members there, they've spent time in you know, Venezuelan prisons,
and why would you want to protect them, protect them
from law enforcement here in America? And you never, really,
(01:53):
you never get an answer, because there's no answer that's logical,
there's no answer that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You can't really have a discus with them.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Because they're crazy in a way that cultists are crazy.
People who believe in weird religions are crazy. There's nothing
you can do, there's no point in communicating with them.
I just don't know why they're in power, because I
see that eighty percent of the country is in agreement
(02:21):
that criminal illegal aliens ought to be deported. It's an
eighty twenty issue. And I've never run into to the
twenty and maybe that twenty percent lives in these cities.
I don't know the explanation for this. But not only
(02:41):
not only is their position crazy, Eventually they start acting crazy,
they start acting out, and often they just start shrieking.
Play some clips from the hearing today. This was in
the House of Representatives, and first one I want to
(03:02):
play because I heard this it caught my ear. The
chairman of the committee was James comer. He's a Republican
from Kentucky. And another member of the committee is Ayana Presley,
Democrat from Massachusetts. And Presley has some news articles she
wants to officially enter into the record, and to do
(03:25):
that you have to have unanimous consent, So everybody on
the committee has to say I and then the articles
get entered on the record. Apparently she was doing this
out of turn or out of order, or wasn't getting
the consent. I'm not sure exactly, but you have to
hear the exchange between two congress people representing all of us.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Chair recognizes Ssir chairmanimous, mister chairman, have unanimous consent, request proceed.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I'd like to.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
See cananamous consent to enter into the record this article?
And I'll do this as a survivor of sexual violence myself.
This is from Courts March twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Uh, that objection so ordered.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Data from Texas shows that US born.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
With that objection so ordered. We've put it in the record.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I have an internet what missus, Jerry, can I have
several articles I need to enter them. Let me just
go ahead with the What the articles are?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
What's the next article?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Let me proceed data from Texas shows the US born
and Marylands committed more race murder than immigrants in this trend.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Off you all trying to get thrown out of a
committee so you can get on MSNBC is going to
end more.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We're not gonna put up with it. This is.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You can go.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You can go with this throst to mister Green blaming
my time. That's what you want.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
No, no, miss Presley, I've been very I have been
more accommodating.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
You take particular.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Actual violence.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I will answer record.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
This is my right, thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
No, no, it is mister supermom, mister y. You know
the process of unanimous consent.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You are not several articles to enter into record.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Mister super If you don't go, we're going to recognize
mister Timmins, thank.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You, mister chair.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Now, I think she wanted to enter it into the record,
but she also wanted to read the articles for this
emotional impact. And Comy just said, okay, your article's in.
It's entered into the record, and she goes, no, no, I
want to read that. She goes.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
He said no, and he kept gabbling her.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I mean, next thing, he'd have to hit her on
the head with the gavel to get her to stop.
She actually won her point right from the beginning. And
but that wasn't the purpose to enter into the record
because nobody reads the congressional record. What she wanted to
do was get her video moment so it runs on
the cable channels. That was the purpose. And he called
her on it and said, okay, it's in the record.
If that's all you're asking unanimous consent. We all agree
(06:14):
it's in the record. No, no, no, I want to
read it. That's not the rule. That's not the way
it goes. You don't have a right to read the
whole thing into the record. Anybody wants to know what
you're talking about, they could read the record themselves.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
There's another one.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
This is by the way, it's the House Oversight Committee,
which means they could look into anything.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
This is now, we have to condense this. Some of
these things go on forever.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
This is Representative Melanie Stansbury, another Democrat from New Mexico,
and her position was that Trump has not secured the border,
America is not safe.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Let's play cut fourteen.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Now.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
I want to reject the fundamental premise of this hearing,
because what this entire effort is about is intimidating state
and local officials, attacking law abiding immigrant families, and spending
millions of dollars a taxpayer dollars, both in the administration
(07:15):
and in Congress to make ads that are complete smoke
and mirrors, trying to say that Donald Trump has somehow
secured America's safe safety. What they are doing is not
making America safer. In fact, it's a total and complete
lie because Donald Trump has failed to actually even secure
(07:37):
the border. He's failed to stop illicit drugs like fentanyl
from crossing the border. He's failed to secure sufficient staffing
and technology to stop human trafficking and illicit drugs from
crossing the border.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
He's failed to secure your stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
For a second, just for the record, mister chairman, he's
been in office six weeks and border crossings have dropped
ninety six percent, and the four percent that got over
had been tossed back. So she's got a fantasy going
here that she's very passionate about. But it's completely wrong,
(08:15):
it's totally false.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Continue failed to support local law enforcement and behavioral health
programs to address the issues that are affecting our communities,
and he's failed to even execute on the most basic
thing that he said he would do, which was to
pass immigration reform when he got into office.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Here we are, Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Where's your immigration bill? Oh wait, you don't have one.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
That's right, because none of this is actually about making
America safer. In fact, all of this is making America weaker.
As a representative from a great city, the city of Albuquerque,
a border state, is that we know what makes our
community safer. It means we stop drugs from coming into
our country and our communities. It means that we support
(09:00):
and we fund our law enforcement. It means that we
fund our behavioral health system. It means that we support
our mayors, our tribal leaders, and our state officials.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
It means that we invest in them.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
It does not mean that we drag them in front
of Congress for four hours. We yell at them, we
tell them we're going to give them criminal referrals. The
DOJ is intimidating our mayors and my colleagues across the
aisle are producing tv ads to try to pretend that
they're making this country safe again. It's total bull absolute.
(09:36):
They are not making America safer again. And what they
are doing is terrorizing immigrant families. That is what they
are doing. Parents who are afraid to send their kids
to school, parents who are afraid that they won't come
home again, kids who are afraid to leave their houses,
refugees who have waited for years.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
To come into this country.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
And our mayors are sitting here and during this ridiculu,
ridiculous hearing as they've been threatened in front of the
American people.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Wow, if you're afraid to go to work or afraid
you're not going to come home, then you should be
in your home country because the laws are being enforced now.
And you took that risk when you cross the border
illegally or you overstate your visa, and just because the
(10:26):
laws weren't enforced, they are now.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know, it's like speeding on the road.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You can complain all you want that you've sped every
day and nobody ever pulled you over. Well, today they are,
and the law still exists, and you're still liable for
that law, whether it's been enforced recently or not. There
is a cure for being afraid of being in a
country illegally. You leave the country that you're in illegally,
(10:56):
see and then you're not afraid anymore, see how it works.
And besides that, they're going after criminals, and everybody knows
they're going after criminals. So she is full of bull bleep.
And that's a word that the FCC ought to permit.
I'm making a formal request because that's the word I
(11:19):
want to use. Now we come back, We've got here's
an expert excerpt from one of the Republicans on the committee,
Congressman Clay Higgins, and he goes off on these sanctuary
mayors because this is ludicrous. I don't understand protecting criminals. Honestly,
how do you plan? How does the Democratic Party plan
(11:41):
to win elections? If you're going to be passionately defending
illegal alien violent criminals, Like, what is the upside when
that issue eighty percent of the public is against you.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I really don't understand.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Unless you're a cult member, unless you have a religious
belief in the sanctity of illegal alien violent criminals.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
We've been playing in some clips from insane people who
are are are congresswomen in both cases so far, just
two nuts and they're screechy they hit such a high
pitch and they're so angry, and they're angry that illegal aliens,
(12:33):
illegal alien criminals are being arrested and deported of all
the things to be that angry and screechy about illegal
alien criminals. Huh, why do you care if they're deporting
Why do you care? I mean, some of these guys
have such a violent rap sheet and it's it's it
(12:58):
is because they're politics has morphed into some weird religion.
And you know, there's a lot of weird religions in
the world, and a lot of people do violent things
to other people in the name of religion, and other
people say, well, yeah, yeah, you're right, because we don't
want to we have to do this. It's in the
name of God, so we have to kill you, we
(13:20):
have to torture you. And there's a similar thing going
on here. It's like, yes, we have to defend illegal
alien criminals. We don't want them arrested and deported. We
want them to be free running around, raping and murdering
young women, because that's what our religion tells us. If
it isn't a religious like belief, then what is it.
(13:41):
Like I said, there's nothing to debate here. There's no
other side to this, but man, they passionate. But on
the same side as a Congressman named Clay Higgins. He's
a Republican from Louisiana. I was going to say, because
they saw r LA and I'm thinking a Republican from
(14:02):
Los Angeles, but there is no such thing. Well, it
might be three Clay. We're gonna play Clay here again.
There's four sanctuary city mayors. The mayor New York, Eric Adams,
Mayor Denver, Mike Johnson, the Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, Mike Johnston,
excuse me.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And then oh there's a fourth mayor.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh that whack job in Boston, Michelle wou So they
were all getting smacked around by this House Oversight Committee.
Let's play Clay Higgins from Louisiana.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Three months ago, we were at the tail end of
four years of millions and millions of illegals coming into
our country. Was out of control. The only thing that
has happened since then is we had an election in November,
and now we're not pulling the curtain back. We have
ripped the curtain from the rods. We have revealed to
(14:57):
America just how We could have secured our border if
you had an executive that was willing to enforce the law.
So now we're paying attention to our municipalities, and every
one of them is lawyered up. They've changed their narrative.
We've got example after example, the maya of Chicago. We
(15:21):
must lead with and live by the promise of sanctuary city.
Mayor dever willing to go to jail defense of sanctuary
city policy. The list goes on. But were the policies
of these mayors and our previous president have consequences, real
life consequences. I have a family here today, mister Chairman,
(15:45):
who lost their beautiful loved one.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
This young man was killed.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
By an illegal immigrant in Texas had never should have
been in our country. He'll never be here to raise
his daughter and Marie, to love and cherish and honor
and uphold his beautiful wife, Olivia. And you, mayors, have
you have responsibility not just to your communities and the
(16:16):
citizens just want to serve, but by extension, to the
entire republic. And let me clarify, I was a cop for.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
A long time.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
To honor the jurisdictional authority of another law enforcement agency,
you do it every day in your city, Guaranteed every
one of you.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
If you have an inmate in.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Your city on city charges and that inmate has a
has a felony warrant from a neighboring county or another
county in your state, and that county contacts your city
while you have that inmate in detention and ask you
to hold him for them to come pick it up
a point release Guaranteed you release that inmate to the
(17:04):
county over or to your state police. But you're not
doing it for ICE, and ICE is responsible to remove
millions of criminal, hard edge, criminal illegals from our country.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And we've had enough.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
America's fed up with this betrayal of oath, and you'll
be held accountable. One of you said you're willing to
go to jail, we might give you that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's the Denver mayor who said he's willing to go
to jail, Mike Johnston who he heard speaking there was
Clay Higgins, and he's talking about the family of a man,
a father, and a husband who is killed by an
illegal alien. It's like, so, who's on the side of
that murderer, Who's on the side of that tragedy. Well,
(17:57):
these Democratic mayors, by the way, I don't know what
they can call Karen Bass up there, because she's the
same person. She has the exact same beliefs as the
four that they were roasting.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
She doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Guaranteed, if an illegal alien gang member killed a family
of four tomorrow, Karen Bass would say nothing critical about
the sanctuary city policy. She might apologize to the killer
that LAPD arrested. That's a greater possibility. And again, why
(18:35):
why is this? There's so many things that these progressives
are obsessed with, and you wonder, and a lot of
this stuff, he's just so heinous.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You can't imagine a normal person like this is not politics.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
This is not a political debate, a philosophical debate, two
different ways of approaching a problem. This is just out
and out murderers and rapists, animals, monsters, and to get
a chance to catch them, and you send them out
of the country and then you seal off the border
so they don't get back in.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Who's against that?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
But what normal person is against that? And why are
so many of these abnormal weirdos in power?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Why are they the mayors? Why are they in Congress?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I mean, we've all been alive for decades, right, we
never heard this before?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
When you were a kid, did people fight about that,
that that criminal illegal aliens should not be arrested and deported.
I never heard of this as a kid. If if,
if you don't like the laws, you don't want to
live in fear, go home.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It's real simple.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We're on from one to four every day and after
four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand coming up after
two o'clock. A friend of mine who have had on
a number of times, Michelle Shane. He and his wife Ellen,
suffered the worst tragedy imaginable. Their thirteen year old daughter
Emily was killed by a crazy person on PCH. She
(20:21):
was walking alongside the highway waiting for her dad to
pick her up, and this guy was in some kind
of angry, insane state of mind and he directed his
car and ran her over. His name is Sena Kankannion
and he was convicted of murder and he's been paroled
(20:48):
and Gavin Newsom's releasing him. This is what Gavin Newsom does.
He released a guy. He intentionally killed Shane, and he
was originally granted parole Kantanian in twenty twenty three, that
it was reversed, then approved in twenty twenty four, and
(21:13):
now Newsom has rejected the Shane's appeal. You imagine your cat.
I'm telling you that guy, absolute classic sociopath, has no feeling,
no empathy, no remorse.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
No nothing. Well, I'll talk to Michelle Shane coming up
after four o'clock. This is this is, this is what
we have.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
We have crazy lunatics and narcissistic sociopaths running the running
the state. Another another angle on the illegal aliens and
the border is a tremendous drug trade. Tremendous amount of
fentanyl come over the border. Anywhere from seventy to one
(22:02):
hundred thousand Americans a year die of fentanyl poisoning, and
the Mexican drug cartels run it. They get the ingredients
from China. In case you hear somebody going I don't
understand why are there tariffs on Mexico and China. Well,
one of the big reasons is China sends Mexico all
(22:24):
the ingredients for fentidel and in Mexican labs, which can
be in anybody's kitchen, anybody's hole trailer. They cook the meth,
give it to the cartels, which has a complex distribution network.
And next thing, you know, if your kid is messing around.
(22:48):
Let's say he's on Snapchat late at night and some
dealer offers to sell him I don't know a painkiller,
he buys it, takes it, and he dies.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
It's not a.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Pain killer, it's not a percocet. This is happening so
much that sixty families are suing Snap. Snap is based
here in Santa Monica. Everybody always talks so but the
great tech industry in Santa Monica. Well, one of the
companies helps facilitate some of your young customers dying. That's
(23:28):
what Snap does. They facilitate the deaths of their teenage customers.
They have a story in the La Times today about JB. Perette.
His son Daniel died this way. The company has been
(23:51):
scrambling claiming it's removed two and a half million pieces
of drug related content last year. How do you get
to to and a half million. You know why they
have two and a half million because Snap, like the
other social media companies, never wanted to do anything that
would dampen the engagement of their teenage customer base. They
(24:17):
had to shut down a half million accounts a half
a million, and now it blocks searches for drug related terms.
Now it does, but there's sixty families who lost their
son or daughter before Snap bothered to do any of
this because they're trying to avoid a lawsuit that could
(24:44):
severely damage their finances, if not bankrupt them. And Daniel
Pratt to Johnson was the name of the kid. He
died at Children's hospital in twenty twenty after his father
found him unconscious. Half of a blue talent tablet was
on his dresser and it looked like oxycoto, but it
was actually Fentanel. He met a drug dealer through Snapchat
(25:06):
a few days before he died. By the way, the
deal on Snapchat, the lure is you can send somebody
a message and then it disappears. After a short time,
it disintegrates. How quickly does it disintegrate to you know,
it's like sixty seconds? Sixty seconds? Okay, It's like those
Mission Impossible tapes. You get a little puff of smoke
(25:30):
coming out of your phone as thess no. But once
you open it it's gone, there's one chance to replay it,
and once you replay it once, you can never see
it again.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Perfect for drug dealers.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You couldn't design a better communication device to kill the
evidence of the sale within seconds after you make the sale. Boy,
the engineers a Snapchat should be so proud again, sociopaths.
I'm sure there were meetings where they said, jeez, if
we do this, then people who sell deadly drugs will
(26:06):
be able to do it easily to teenagers, and the
teenagers may die.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I mean, somebody must have come up with that.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Don't they have liability lawyers before they put products to market?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Of course they do. They just didn't care. They didn't care.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
They didn't realize that what a half a million? What
was that a half they disabled a half a million
drug accounts? Is that half million people were stelling drugs
on snap?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Two and a half million pieces of drug related content?
I guess that's their their advertising pitches, the videos, the
pricing menu. This is also going on with Facebook, Instagram, Discord, YouTube,
their open air drug markets, and now they're filing lawsuits
(26:59):
all over the place. They're trying to avoid the lawsuits
by it because there was a congressional law passed in
the nineteen nineties which protected the social media companies from
being sued over content on their platforms, claiming, hey, we're
like the phone company, Like you can't sue Verizon because
(27:23):
people are engaging in illegal activity over the phone. And
so everybody in Congress, who I'm sure we're paid off
quite a bit, said yeah, yeah, you're right. It is
like the phone, except the difference is when it was
just phone lines, it wasn't easy for the Mexican drug
cartels to target teenage would be customers, who with Snapchat
(27:49):
it's far easier. And it's went on for years and years,
and nobody at Snapchat cared. Clearly, even after they knew
people were dying, they still didn't do anything about it.
All right, more coming up, Michelle Shane coming up to
talk about Gavin Newsom releasing the killer of Michelle's daughter
early from prison.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
As I mentioned, we're gonna have Michelle Shane coming on
after two o'clock. Michelle's a friend of mine. He and
his wife Ellen are speaking out again. Their daughter Emily
was killed by a lunatic on pch And twenty ten.
She was thirteen and this guy intentionally directed his car
and ran her down, killed her. His name is Sina Konkanion.
(28:40):
They got him eventually on murder, sent fifteen years to
life in prison, but fifteen to life means he was
eligible for parole after just twelve years. And it's about
twelve years now and he's getting out. And Gavin Newsom
signed off on it. Interesting since do some has four kids?
(29:01):
But again that's sociopathic behavior. He has kids and somebody
else lost their daughter to this lunatic. And Newsom says, no, no,
you could let him out. And we're going to have
Michelle on not to only talk about the obvious there,
but I want to talk about the conditions that this
(29:22):
Conkhanian was being held in. And when you hear about
his conditions, it becomes obvious that he has not been
in a place where he's ready to assimilate into normal society.
When you hear the kind of conditions he's been living in.
Explaining coming up after two o'clock, Now, you know most
(29:46):
a lot of countries are dealing with very low birth rates.
People are just not having children. The way they used
to birth rate in the United States is I think
down to about one and a half and you need
about two kids per child bearing woman. I mean you've
done your part, Yes I have. I've done my part.
(30:06):
We probably slightly overproduced. I was going to say, yeah,
and you need that or eventually your economy collapses. For
one thing, if you don't have young people working, then
there's nobody to pay social security to the older people.
Everybody's always worried.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Well, they can't cut cut social security. I mean we've
got to have it.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You can only have that if there are young people
working and paying into this scam of the system.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Right.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
I never thought about that as a reason to have kids, though.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have to do it for the good.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Of society, yeah, I guess I didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
And not only to keep the species open of going biologically,
but you also for the for the good of society,
so older people have an income. That's our purpose here.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
I've never thought of that.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
There is no other purpose. Well there's now in China
they're having the same problem. You know, China has been
all over the place. They were forcing they had too
many people. And remember you were only allowed to have
one child and it had to be a boy and
girls were aborted. Well, they overshot that and now as
(31:10):
a Chinese chemical manufacturer and according to an internal memo,
the ideal Chinese worker is hardworking, virtuous and loyal and
most important, willing to have children for the good of
the country. This is the Shandong Shuntian Chemical Group. This
was sent to unmarried employees recently. It instructed them to
(31:32):
start families by September thirtieth.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
Instructed them.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Instructed them, if you cannot get married and start a
family within three quarters September thirtieth, the company will terminate
your labor contract.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
You get fired.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
What happens if you you know things aren't working properly
and you're not able to get pregnant, you're fired.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
If you're not going to contribute to the good of
the country. Not the first company to do this in China.
The marriage rates are down, birth rates are down, and
a popular supermarket chain told its staff not to ask
not to ask for wedding gifts to lower the cost
of weddings. Apparently that's been an impediment for marriage. High
(32:17):
cost of weddings and children cost a lot of money. Yes,
they do, and like a lot of Americans, a lot
of young Chinese want to control their own lives. They
do want children dragging them down, keeping them from fun
and freedom, and they don't think families should direct their lives. See,
(32:37):
we're going to die out as a species.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
I mean I never thought of that either. I mean
sometimes you're not thinking, well, no, I've thought about hmm,
I am going to be worrying about my children for
the rest of my life.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
It's a big worry. Not that I regret having kids,
but I just I don't think about that. They're draining
my fun.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Well they are. They're worrying about them every day for
the rest of your life.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
I mean, that's a different you know.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
By the way, they're not worried about you.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
I know, trust me, I know I knew.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
They they they well, they don't want a family. They
don't want having a family to dictate their life, and
they don't want their employers to say so either. But
that's where they are. Six million Chinese couples got married
last year. That's a twenty percent decline and the fewest
since they were keeping track going back to nineteen eighty six.
(33:32):
China's population has fallen for three years in a row.
They're getting older and there's no way to finance this.
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Well, what about robots? About robots right to take over
the world.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I don't want to have sex with a robots.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Just I'm not saying about what you mean, right.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
If a wife won't bear a child, you just go
take on that. Robots there have adam not for sex.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
I'm not talking about sex.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Oh, I'm sure there are yes, of course there will be.
Speaker 9 (34:01):
But I'm just saying, have the robots do the work.
If you're not gonna reproduce.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Okay, robot porn, Hey, whatever you do. I don't judge
those things. You know, everybody's got their little weird fetishes.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
May come back.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Michelle Shane, We've told his story a number of times.
His daughter got run down on pch by this crazy
driver seeing a kan Kanyan way back in twenty ten.
And the trial is fifteen to life for kon Kanye
and it was a murder trial. And now he has
been parolled and Gavin Newsom rejected Michelle and Ellen Shane's
(34:43):
appeal and kon Kanyan is going to be released and
released from what wait to hear This story coming up
Deborah Mark live in the CAFI twenty four hour news run.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Hey, you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
You can always hear the show live on KFI AM
six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio
app and every day we do this between one and
four o'clock and after four o'clock. Whatever you missed, you
get on the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand also
on the All Purpose iHeartRadio app. A lot of entertainment
going on in Washington between last night's Trump speech and
(00:25):
then today there was a sanctuary city hearing before Congress,
before the House of Representatives of the committee that's investigating
these sanctuary cities. There were several mayors from Boston and
Chicago and Denver and New York City, and these are
(00:49):
all wacko progressives. And I've been listening to a lot
of the clips the highlights today and what struck me
is something that we've talked about before. This is these
this crowd. Uh, it's it's a religious like belief in
(01:10):
something that is completely nuts. I would never have expected
that the hill these progressives would die on, one of
many hills they're dying on, would be violent criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeahs, just say that phrase. What can you add to that?
Speaker 2 (01:28):
They're violent criminal illegal aliens convicted or accused they're they're
gang members there, they've spent time in you know, Venezuelan prisons,
and why would you want to protect them, protect them
from law enforcement here in America? And you never, really,
(01:53):
you never get an answer, because there's no answer that's logical,
there's no answer that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
You can't really have a discus with them.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Because they're crazy in a way that cultists are crazy.
People who believe in weird religions are crazy. There's nothing
you can do, there's no point in communicating with them.
I just don't know why they're in power, because I
see that eighty percent of the country is in agreement
(02:21):
that criminal illegal aliens ought to be deported. It's an
eighty twenty issue. And I've never run into to the
twenty and maybe that twenty percent lives in these cities.
I don't know the explanation for this. But not only
(02:41):
not only is their position crazy, Eventually they start acting crazy,
they start acting out, and often they just start shrieking.
Play some clips from the hearing today. This was in
the House of Representatives, and first one I want to
(03:02):
play because I heard this it caught my ear. The
chairman of the committee was James comer. He's a Republican
from Kentucky. And another member of the committee is Ayana Presley,
Democrat from Massachusetts. And Presley has some news articles she
wants to officially enter into the record, and to do
(03:25):
that you have to have unanimous consent, So everybody on
the committee has to say I and then the articles
get entered on the record. Apparently she was doing this
out of turn or out of order, or wasn't getting
the consent. I'm not sure exactly, but you have to
hear the exchange between two congress people representing all of us.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Chair recognizes Ssir chairmanimous, mister chairman, have unanimous consent, request proceed.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I'd like to.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
See cananamous consent to enter into the record this article?
And I'll do this as a survivor of sexual violence myself.
This is from Courts March twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Uh, that objection so ordered.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Data from Texas shows that US born.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
With that objection so ordered. We've put it in the record.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I have an internet what missus, Jerry, can I have
several articles I need to enter them. Let me just
go ahead with the What the articles are?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
What's the next article?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Let me proceed data from Texas shows the US born
and Marylands committed more race murder than immigrants in this trend.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
Off you all trying to get thrown out of a
committee so you can get on MSNBC is going to
end more.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We're not gonna put up with it. This is.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
You can go.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
You can go with this throst to mister Green blaming
my time. That's what you want.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
No, no, miss Presley, I've been very I have been
more accommodating.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
You take particular.
Speaker 6 (05:02):
Actual violence.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I will answer record.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
This is my right, thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
No, no, it is mister supermom, mister y. You know
the process of unanimous consent.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
You are not several articles to enter into record.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Mister super If you don't go, we're going to recognize
mister Timmins, thank.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
You, mister chair.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Now, I think she wanted to enter it into the record,
but she also wanted to read the articles for this
emotional impact. And Comy just said, okay, your article's in.
It's entered into the record, and she goes, no, no, I
want to read that. She goes.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
He said no, and he kept gabbling her.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I mean, next thing, he'd have to hit her on
the head with the gavel to get her to stop.
She actually won her point right from the beginning. And
but that wasn't the purpose to enter into the record
because nobody reads the congressional record. What she wanted to
do was get her video moment so it runs on
the cable channels. That was the purpose. And he called
her on it and said, okay, it's in the record.
If that's all you're asking unanimous consent. We all agree
(06:14):
it's in the record. No, no, no, I want to
read it. That's not the rule. That's not the way
it goes. You don't have a right to read the
whole thing into the record. Anybody wants to know what
you're talking about, they could read the record themselves.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
There's another one.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
This is by the way, it's the House Oversight Committee,
which means they could look into anything.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
This is now, we have to condense this. Some of
these things go on forever.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
This is Representative Melanie Stansbury, another Democrat from New Mexico,
and her position was that Trump has not secured the border,
America is not safe.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Let's play cut fourteen.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Now.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
I want to reject the fundamental premise of this hearing,
because what this entire effort is about is intimidating state
and local officials, attacking law abiding immigrant families, and spending
millions of dollars a taxpayer dollars, both in the administration
(07:15):
and in Congress to make ads that are complete smoke
and mirrors, trying to say that Donald Trump has somehow
secured America's safe safety. What they are doing is not
making America safer. In fact, it's a total and complete
lie because Donald Trump has failed to actually even secure
(07:37):
the border. He's failed to stop illicit drugs like fentanyl
from crossing the border. He's failed to secure sufficient staffing
and technology to stop human trafficking and illicit drugs from
crossing the border.
Speaker 8 (07:49):
He's failed to secure your stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
For a second, just for the record, mister chairman, he's
been in office six weeks and border crossings have dropped
ninety six percent, and the four percent that got over
had been tossed back. So she's got a fantasy going
here that she's very passionate about. But it's completely wrong,
(08:15):
it's totally false.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
Continue failed to support local law enforcement and behavioral health
programs to address the issues that are affecting our communities,
and he's failed to even execute on the most basic
thing that he said he would do, which was to
pass immigration reform when he got into office.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Here we are, Donald Trump.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Where's your immigration bill? Oh wait, you don't have one.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
That's right, because none of this is actually about making
America safer. In fact, all of this is making America weaker.
As a representative from a great city, the city of Albuquerque,
a border state, is that we know what makes our
community safer. It means we stop drugs from coming into
our country and our communities. It means that we support
(09:00):
and we fund our law enforcement. It means that we
fund our behavioral health system. It means that we support
our mayors, our tribal leaders, and our state officials.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
It means that we invest in them.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
It does not mean that we drag them in front
of Congress for four hours. We yell at them, we
tell them we're going to give them criminal referrals. The
DOJ is intimidating our mayors and my colleagues across the
aisle are producing tv ads to try to pretend that
they're making this country safe again. It's total bull absolute.
(09:36):
They are not making America safer again. And what they
are doing is terrorizing immigrant families. That is what they
are doing. Parents who are afraid to send their kids
to school, parents who are afraid that they won't come
home again, kids who are afraid to leave their houses,
refugees who have waited for years.
Speaker 8 (09:53):
To come into this country.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
And our mayors are sitting here and during this ridiculu,
ridiculous hearing as they've been threatened in front of the
American people.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Wow, if you're afraid to go to work or afraid
you're not going to come home, then you should be
in your home country because the laws are being enforced now.
And you took that risk when you cross the border
illegally or you overstate your visa, and just because the
(10:26):
laws weren't enforced, they are now.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know, it's like speeding on the road.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You can complain all you want that you've sped every
day and nobody ever pulled you over. Well, today they are,
and the law still exists, and you're still liable for
that law, whether it's been enforced recently or not. There
is a cure for being afraid of being in a
country illegally. You leave the country that you're in illegally,
(10:56):
see and then you're not afraid anymore, see how it works.
And besides that, they're going after criminals, and everybody knows
they're going after criminals. So she is full of bull bleep.
And that's a word that the FCC ought to permit.
I'm making a formal request because that's the word I
(11:19):
want to use. Now we come back, We've got here's
an expert excerpt from one of the Republicans on the committee,
Congressman Clay Higgins, and he goes off on these sanctuary
mayors because this is ludicrous. I don't understand protecting criminals. Honestly,
how do you plan? How does the Democratic Party plan
(11:41):
to win elections? If you're going to be passionately defending
illegal alien violent criminals, Like, what is the upside when
that issue eighty percent of the public is against you.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
I really don't understand.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Unless you're a cult member, unless you have a religious
belief in the sanctity of illegal alien violent criminals.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
We've been playing in some clips from insane people who
are are are congresswomen in both cases so far, just
two nuts and they're screechy they hit such a high
pitch and they're so angry, and they're angry that illegal aliens,
(12:33):
illegal alien criminals are being arrested and deported of all
the things to be that angry and screechy about illegal
alien criminals. Huh, why do you care if they're deporting
Why do you care? I mean, some of these guys
have such a violent rap sheet and it's it's it
(12:58):
is because they're politics has morphed into some weird religion.
And you know, there's a lot of weird religions in
the world, and a lot of people do violent things
to other people in the name of religion, and other
people say, well, yeah, yeah, you're right, because we don't
want to we have to do this. It's in the
name of God, so we have to kill you, we
(13:20):
have to torture you. And there's a similar thing going
on here. It's like, yes, we have to defend illegal
alien criminals. We don't want them arrested and deported. We
want them to be free running around, raping and murdering
young women, because that's what our religion tells us. If
it isn't a religious like belief, then what is it.
(13:41):
Like I said, there's nothing to debate here. There's no
other side to this, but man, they passionate. But on
the same side as a Congressman named Clay Higgins. He's
a Republican from Louisiana. I was going to say, because
they saw r LA and I'm thinking a Republican from
(14:02):
Los Angeles, but there is no such thing. Well, it
might be three Clay. We're gonna play Clay here again.
There's four sanctuary city mayors. The mayor New York, Eric Adams,
Mayor Denver, Mike Johnson, the Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson, Mike Johnston,
excuse me.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
And then oh there's a fourth mayor.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Oh that whack job in Boston, Michelle wou So they
were all getting smacked around by this House Oversight Committee.
Let's play Clay Higgins from Louisiana.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Three months ago, we were at the tail end of
four years of millions and millions of illegals coming into
our country. Was out of control. The only thing that
has happened since then is we had an election in November,
and now we're not pulling the curtain back. We have
ripped the curtain from the rods. We have revealed to
(14:57):
America just how We could have secured our border if
you had an executive that was willing to enforce the law.
So now we're paying attention to our municipalities, and every
one of them is lawyered up. They've changed their narrative.
We've got example after example, the maya of Chicago. We
(15:21):
must lead with and live by the promise of sanctuary city.
Mayor dever willing to go to jail defense of sanctuary
city policy. The list goes on. But were the policies
of these mayors and our previous president have consequences, real
life consequences. I have a family here today, mister Chairman,
(15:45):
who lost their beautiful loved one.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
This young man was killed.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
By an illegal immigrant in Texas had never should have
been in our country. He'll never be here to raise
his daughter and Marie, to love and cherish and honor
and uphold his beautiful wife, Olivia. And you, mayors, have
you have responsibility not just to your communities and the
(16:16):
citizens just want to serve, but by extension, to the
entire republic. And let me clarify, I was a cop for.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
A long time.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
To honor the jurisdictional authority of another law enforcement agency,
you do it every day in your city, Guaranteed every
one of you.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
If you have an inmate in.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Your city on city charges and that inmate has a
has a felony warrant from a neighboring county or another
county in your state, and that county contacts your city
while you have that inmate in detention and ask you
to hold him for them to come pick it up
a point release Guaranteed you release that inmate to the
(17:04):
county over or to your state police. But you're not
doing it for ICE, and ICE is responsible to remove
millions of criminal, hard edge, criminal illegals from our country.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
And we've had enough.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
America's fed up with this betrayal of oath, and you'll
be held accountable. One of you said you're willing to
go to jail, we might give you that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
That's the Denver mayor who said he's willing to go
to jail, Mike Johnston who he heard speaking there was
Clay Higgins, and he's talking about the family of a man,
a father, and a husband who is killed by an
illegal alien. It's like, so, who's on the side of
that murderer, Who's on the side of that tragedy. Well,
(17:57):
these Democratic mayors, by the way, I don't know what
they can call Karen Bass up there, because she's the
same person. She has the exact same beliefs as the
four that they were roasting.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
She doesn't care.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
Guaranteed, if an illegal alien gang member killed a family
of four tomorrow, Karen Bass would say nothing critical about
the sanctuary city policy. She might apologize to the killer
that LAPD arrested. That's a greater possibility. And again, why
(18:35):
why is this? There's so many things that these progressives
are obsessed with, and you wonder, and a lot of
this stuff, he's just so heinous.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
You can't imagine a normal person like this is not politics.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
This is not a political debate, a philosophical debate, two
different ways of approaching a problem. This is just out
and out murderers and rapists, animals, monsters, and to get
a chance to catch them, and you send them out
of the country and then you seal off the border
so they don't get back in.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Who's against that?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
But what normal person is against that? And why are
so many of these abnormal weirdos in power?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Why are they the mayors? Why are they in Congress?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
I mean, we've all been alive for decades, right, we
never heard this before?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
When you were a kid, did people fight about that,
that that criminal illegal aliens should not be arrested and deported.
I never heard of this as a kid. If if,
if you don't like the laws, you don't want to
live in fear, go home.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
It's real simple.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
We're on from one to four every day and after
four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand coming up after
two o'clock. A friend of mine who have had on
a number of times, Michelle Shane. He and his wife Ellen,
suffered the worst tragedy imaginable. Their thirteen year old daughter
Emily was killed by a crazy person on PCH. She
(20:21):
was walking alongside the highway waiting for her dad to
pick her up, and this guy was in some kind
of angry, insane state of mind and he directed his
car and ran her over. His name is Sena Kankannion
and he was convicted of murder and he's been paroled
(20:48):
and Gavin Newsom's releasing him. This is what Gavin Newsom does.
He released a guy. He intentionally killed Shane, and he
was originally granted parole Kantanian in twenty twenty three, that
it was reversed, then approved in twenty twenty four, and
(21:13):
now Newsom has rejected the Shane's appeal. You imagine your cat.
I'm telling you that guy, absolute classic sociopath, has no feeling,
no empathy, no remorse.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
No nothing. Well, I'll talk to Michelle Shane coming up
after four o'clock. This is this is, this is what
we have.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
We have crazy lunatics and narcissistic sociopaths running the running
the state. Another another angle on the illegal aliens and
the border is a tremendous drug trade. Tremendous amount of
fentanyl come over the border. Anywhere from seventy to one
(22:02):
hundred thousand Americans a year die of fentanyl poisoning, and
the Mexican drug cartels run it. They get the ingredients
from China. In case you hear somebody going I don't
understand why are there tariffs on Mexico and China. Well,
one of the big reasons is China sends Mexico all
(22:24):
the ingredients for fentidel and in Mexican labs, which can
be in anybody's kitchen, anybody's hole trailer. They cook the meth,
give it to the cartels, which has a complex distribution network.
And next thing, you know, if your kid is messing around.
(22:48):
Let's say he's on Snapchat late at night and some
dealer offers to sell him I don't know a painkiller,
he buys it, takes it, and he dies.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
It's not a.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Pain killer, it's not a percocet. This is happening so
much that sixty families are suing Snap. Snap is based
here in Santa Monica. Everybody always talks so but the
great tech industry in Santa Monica. Well, one of the
companies helps facilitate some of your young customers dying. That's
(23:28):
what Snap does. They facilitate the deaths of their teenage customers.
They have a story in the La Times today about JB. Perette.
His son Daniel died this way. The company has been
(23:51):
scrambling claiming it's removed two and a half million pieces
of drug related content last year. How do you get
to to and a half million. You know why they
have two and a half million because Snap, like the
other social media companies, never wanted to do anything that
would dampen the engagement of their teenage customer base. They
(24:17):
had to shut down a half million accounts a half
a million, and now it blocks searches for drug related terms.
Now it does, but there's sixty families who lost their
son or daughter before Snap bothered to do any of
this because they're trying to avoid a lawsuit that could
(24:44):
severely damage their finances, if not bankrupt them. And Daniel
Pratt to Johnson was the name of the kid. He
died at Children's hospital in twenty twenty after his father
found him unconscious. Half of a blue talent tablet was
on his dresser and it looked like oxycoto, but it
was actually Fentanel. He met a drug dealer through Snapchat
(25:06):
a few days before he died. By the way, the
deal on Snapchat, the lure is you can send somebody
a message and then it disappears. After a short time,
it disintegrates. How quickly does it disintegrate to you know,
it's like sixty seconds? Sixty seconds? Okay, It's like those
Mission Impossible tapes. You get a little puff of smoke
(25:30):
coming out of your phone as thess no. But once
you open it it's gone, there's one chance to replay it,
and once you replay it once, you can never see
it again.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Perfect for drug dealers.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You couldn't design a better communication device to kill the
evidence of the sale within seconds after you make the sale. Boy,
the engineers a Snapchat should be so proud again, sociopaths.
I'm sure there were meetings where they said, jeez, if
we do this, then people who sell deadly drugs will
(26:06):
be able to do it easily to teenagers, and the
teenagers may die.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
I mean, somebody must have come up with that.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Don't they have liability lawyers before they put products to market?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Of course they do. They just didn't care. They didn't care.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
They didn't realize that what a half a million? What
was that a half they disabled a half a million
drug accounts? Is that half million people were stelling drugs
on snap?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is that right?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Two and a half million pieces of drug related content?
I guess that's their their advertising pitches, the videos, the
pricing menu. This is also going on with Facebook, Instagram, Discord, YouTube,
their open air drug markets, and now they're filing lawsuits
(26:59):
all over the place. They're trying to avoid the lawsuits
by it because there was a congressional law passed in
the nineteen nineties which protected the social media companies from
being sued over content on their platforms, claiming, hey, we're
like the phone company, Like you can't sue Verizon because
(27:23):
people are engaging in illegal activity over the phone. And
so everybody in Congress, who I'm sure we're paid off
quite a bit, said yeah, yeah, you're right. It is
like the phone, except the difference is when it was
just phone lines, it wasn't easy for the Mexican drug
cartels to target teenage would be customers, who with Snapchat
(27:49):
it's far easier. And it's went on for years and years,
and nobody at Snapchat cared. Clearly, even after they knew
people were dying, they still didn't do anything about it.
All right, more coming up, Michelle Shane coming up to
talk about Gavin Newsom releasing the killer of Michelle's daughter
early from prison.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
As I mentioned, we're gonna have Michelle Shane coming on
after two o'clock. Michelle's a friend of mine. He and
his wife Ellen are speaking out again. Their daughter Emily
was killed by a lunatic on pch And twenty ten.
She was thirteen and this guy intentionally directed his car
and ran her down, killed her. His name is Sina Konkanion.
(28:40):
They got him eventually on murder, sent fifteen years to
life in prison, but fifteen to life means he was
eligible for parole after just twelve years. And it's about
twelve years now and he's getting out. And Gavin Newsom
signed off on it. Interesting since do some has four kids?
(29:01):
But again that's sociopathic behavior. He has kids and somebody
else lost their daughter to this lunatic. And Newsom says, no, no,
you could let him out. And we're going to have
Michelle on not to only talk about the obvious there,
but I want to talk about the conditions that this
(29:22):
Conkhanian was being held in. And when you hear about
his conditions, it becomes obvious that he has not been
in a place where he's ready to assimilate into normal society.
When you hear the kind of conditions he's been living in.
Explaining coming up after two o'clock, Now, you know most
(29:46):
a lot of countries are dealing with very low birth rates.
People are just not having children. The way they used
to birth rate in the United States is I think
down to about one and a half and you need
about two kids per child bearing woman. I mean you've
done your part, Yes I have. I've done my part.
(30:06):
We probably slightly overproduced. I was going to say, yeah,
and you need that or eventually your economy collapses. For
one thing, if you don't have young people working, then
there's nobody to pay social security to the older people.
Everybody's always worried.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Well, they can't cut cut social security. I mean we've
got to have it.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You can only have that if there are young people
working and paying into this scam of the system.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Right.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
I never thought about that as a reason to have kids, though.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have to do it for the good.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Of society, yeah, I guess I didn't.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
And not only to keep the species open of going biologically,
but you also for the for the good of society,
so older people have an income. That's our purpose here.
Speaker 8 (30:47):
I've never thought of that.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
There is no other purpose. Well there's now in China
they're having the same problem. You know, China has been
all over the place. They were forcing they had too
many people. And remember you were only allowed to have
one child and it had to be a boy and
girls were aborted. Well, they overshot that and now as
(31:10):
a Chinese chemical manufacturer and according to an internal memo,
the ideal Chinese worker is hardworking, virtuous and loyal and
most important, willing to have children for the good of
the country. This is the Shandong Shuntian Chemical Group. This
was sent to unmarried employees recently. It instructed them to
(31:32):
start families by September thirtieth.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
Instructed them.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Instructed them, if you cannot get married and start a
family within three quarters September thirtieth, the company will terminate
your labor contract.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
You get fired.
Speaker 9 (31:48):
What happens if you you know things aren't working properly
and you're not able to get pregnant, you're fired.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
If you're not going to contribute to the good of
the country. Not the first company to do this in China.
The marriage rates are down, birth rates are down, and
a popular supermarket chain told its staff not to ask
not to ask for wedding gifts to lower the cost
of weddings. Apparently that's been an impediment for marriage. High
(32:17):
cost of weddings and children cost a lot of money. Yes,
they do, and like a lot of Americans, a lot
of young Chinese want to control their own lives. They
do want children dragging them down, keeping them from fun
and freedom, and they don't think families should direct their lives. See,
(32:37):
we're going to die out as a species.
Speaker 9 (32:38):
I mean I never thought of that either. I mean
sometimes you're not thinking, well, no, I've thought about hmm,
I am going to be worrying about my children for
the rest of my life.
Speaker 8 (32:48):
It's a big worry. Not that I regret having kids,
but I just I don't think about that. They're draining
my fun.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Well they are. They're worrying about them every day for
the rest of your life.
Speaker 8 (33:00):
I mean, that's a different you know.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
By the way, they're not worried about you.
Speaker 8 (33:03):
I know, trust me, I know I knew.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
They they they well, they don't want a family. They
don't want having a family to dictate their life, and
they don't want their employers to say so either. But
that's where they are. Six million Chinese couples got married
last year. That's a twenty percent decline and the fewest
since they were keeping track going back to nineteen eighty six.
(33:32):
China's population has fallen for three years in a row.
They're getting older and there's no way to finance this.
Speaker 9 (33:39):
Well, what about robots? About robots right to take over
the world.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
I don't want to have sex with a robots.
Speaker 8 (33:44):
Just I'm not saying about what you mean, right.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
If a wife won't bear a child, you just go
take on that. Robots there have adam not for sex.
Speaker 8 (33:57):
I'm not talking about sex.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Oh, I'm sure there are yes, of course there will be.
Speaker 9 (34:01):
But I'm just saying, have the robots do the work.
If you're not gonna reproduce.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Okay, robot porn, Hey, whatever you do. I don't judge
those things. You know, everybody's got their little weird fetishes.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
May come back.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Michelle Shane, We've told his story a number of times.
His daughter got run down on pch by this crazy
driver seeing a kan Kanyan way back in twenty ten.
And the trial is fifteen to life for kon Kanye
and it was a murder trial. And now he has
been parolled and Gavin Newsom rejected Michelle and Ellen Shane's
(34:43):
appeal and kon Kanyan is going to be released and
released from what wait to hear This story coming up
