Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't find AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Lou Penrose sitting into John Cobelt all this week.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Good to have you along with us.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Well, this little story of this little YouTuber in Minneapolis
has gone viral plus I mean, it sparked an entire
generation of independent investigative reporters that are literally knocking on
doors all over the country of Somali owned fraudulent daycare centers.
(00:34):
So just to bring you up to speed, if you've
not heard the story, and I don't know how you
could have missed it, but there is a twenty three
year old YouTuber by the name of Nick Shirley, and
he uncovered all kinds of fraud in Minneapolis. Minneapolis is
the number one place for illegal aliens from Somalia. Now
they'll tell you that they're legally there, and I mean,
(00:57):
I guess technically, if the Biden minister granted an illegal
alien temporary protection status, then they have status to be there.
But President Trump revoked the temporary protective status, so once
we catch.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Them, we're kicking their ass out of the country.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But while they were here, they were very industrious with
your tax dollars and set up fake childcare centers because
in Minnesota they're so progressive.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And they want everybody to have affordable childcare.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So if you're a low cast, if you're a low income,
or you can't afford childcare at all, you can still
go to these basically government subsidized childcare centers and pay
little to nothing to have childcare, which is insane in
and of itself. But nevertheless, Governor Tim Wallas all excited
about himself for providing this wonderful feature to the people
(01:49):
of Minnesota. But the problem was a bunch of illegals
from Somalia caught wind of this scam and realized, Hey,
if I just put up a sign outside this window
and and say we're a childcare center, I can bill
the state of Minnesota for seventy four children, ninety nine children,
whatever I'm registered for, and they'll send us a check.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Which is what was going on.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And that story there's literally forty two minutes, only forty
two minutes. He spent an afternoon going to childcare centers,
and one after another there were just a bunch of
Koi lying Somali natives in the country illegally pretending to
not know anything and slamming the door on him, and
(02:35):
he edited all up and I think it came close
to The entire gross domestic product of Somalia was built
out of the state of Minnesota in the last fiscal year.
So other reporters are doing this now, other young journalists
with their cell phone and a microphone.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
The second largest.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Somali population in the United States is Columbus, Ohio. So
some cat in Columbus, Ohio said, Hey, I wonder if
this is going on here. So we went to the
Somali area of Columbus, Ohio and went to the first
day care center.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So right now we are in front of the Great
Minds Learning Academy. This is one of the many daycare
centers learning centers here in Columbus, Ohio that are associated
with the Somali community.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
We wanted to come out to Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
And investigate what might be going on in the second
largest Somali community in the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Now, what do you think is going on at the
daycare centers? There?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Striking to me that it is a uniquely Somali attribute
to run daycare centers in the United States.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's shocking.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I mean, so we have two major hubs of Somali
refugees that crossed illegally in the United States and were
granted temporary protection status, and in both areas in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
which is nothing like Somalia, and Columbus, Ohio, which is
far from Minneapolis but also nothing like Somalia.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
These people instinctively opened up.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Daycare centers in states that had options for low or
no income parents that need low income daycare.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, what are the odds here?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
He is speaking to some of the these two guys.
They live across the street from the daycare center.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's a daycare center by Somalia's and stuff like that.
Have you ever seen any kids in this place here?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Nothing, I know, I've just seen it the building itself.
I've never seen nobody come out to the building or
go into the building. You've never seen anybody over there
at all.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Guys lived across the street from this vacant building for years,
never saw a child, saw a bunch of Somali people
hovering around.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And then a sign went up and that's it. That's that.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But to be thorough and fair to these elusive daycare people,
that are illegally hear from Somali, a faking asylum.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
They said, all right, well, look, maybe just maybe the parents.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Don't drop the children off, you know, all ninety nine
of them, don't drop the children off in front of
the building.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Let's just let's go around back. It's all.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
We came to the back, just like those guys suggested, and.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
There's nothing here.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, we could keep poking around, but there's so many
of these centers to go to. We're just getting started.
So we're gonna go around the city. We're gonna go
to a few more of these places. We're gonna see
if we can get anybody to talk to us.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
How about that this is his first daycare center.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You know, these fake Somali ones in Columbus, Ohio, and
he's got a whole list of them, because again they're
on the website for the state of Ohio. This is
incredible to me, This is absolutely incredible to me. We
have journalism in this country. We have investigative journalists, we
have protection elements of government agencies. There are investigators at
(06:03):
the federal government. There's the Office of the Inspector General.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
This is fraud. This is huge fraud and it's so obvious.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I like when they bring out the actual people that
are in charge of inspecting these kinds of things and
they say, oh, we're going to send an inspector down there.
I mean, these media reports that we're seeing are a
troubling What do you mean troubling?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Here is let's see. I want to get her name
right here, because it's a good one. This is Tiki Brown.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Tiki Brown is the commissioner of the Department of Child,
Youth and Family Services for the State of Minnesota. She
had no idea this was going on, like it was
no red flag that all these Somali nationals that are
in the country illegally are all getting into the daycare
business and they're all putting the daycare business all next
(06:55):
to each other. It's just in the Somali part of town.
So they asked her, Hey, what are we doing about this?
Have you at least stopped payment on the check for the.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Current childcare centers that have been named in the video.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
We have not paused.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
There isn't a current pause on any of their payments.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Not a pause on the payments.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Nothing going on that's wrong here, no reason to stop
paying the illegals.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
For the empty.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Childcare building with the misspelled word learning they are.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
You know, those those continue to move forward as we
gain more information from the folks that are out visiting
today and gathering additional information that that may change, but
currently there is no pause on any of the those individuals.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's right there, you go, no pause. We're not stopping
the payment. We're going to send some people out. Don't
you think by now the Somali people figured it out
and they're racing to get as many of their own
kids to fill up the classroom. I mean, come on, lady,
we're way ahead of you, and they're robin as blind
and everybody knows it, so don't even pretend that you're
(08:02):
on top of it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So The John Cobalt Show Louke Penrose in for John
Cobolt on KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Lou Penrose in for John Coblt on The John coblt Show.
It's becoming comical, It really is becoming comical. Have you
seen the memes of all the Somali pirates with the
machine guns applying for licenses open daycare centers. I mean,
what a joke, what an absolute joke. And what's funny
is it's over. It's been exposed. And now you're seeing
(08:44):
elected officials, the attorney general of the state, the state
lawmakers saying we need to do a complete investigation, investigation,
end it, stop it, cut off all the money, round
up these people and send them home.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And now, as it turns out, the illegals.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
From Somalia in Minneapolis are not the only ones. They're
doing it in Columbus, Ohio, and guess what, they're also
from Somalia. So it seems that it's quite correct. Import pirates,
get piracy.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Unbelievable about the fake childcare centers. I live in Saint
Louis and Missouri, and there are so many people who
are doing that. Our city was giving grant money for
people with childcare businesses, and I see people who claim
to have childcare businesses driving Jaguars, going on luxury cruises,
(09:46):
all kinds of ridiculous things, but they supposedly have childcare.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, there's no childcare going on. This is a complete fraud,
and it's the perfect fraud. So it's very easy. You
see this, and this is part of the problem. You
can't give grant money to liars.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You have to be very careful.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Now we have liars in our country, and we have
just enough inspectors at the Department of Social Services to
go look after the liars, and still some liars slip through.
So we have that problem here. Why would we import
more liars? That's the part I never understand like we
(10:26):
act like, well, not everybody lies, loo, some do, but
not all. Majority don't lie, right, that's of Americans. Illegals lie,
like all illegals lie.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I've said this before and people say that's so harsh.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
What do you mean all illegals lie. Let that statement
sink in for a moment.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Follow me on this. All illegals lie.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
They lied when they came into the country and pretended
that they were seeking asylum. They took advantage of a
weak president who either didn't understand what was.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Going on or wanted more illegals in the country. I
don't know, but.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
He granted them temporary protective status, which is a lie.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
They don't need temporary protection status.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
The only way to legally apply for asylum in the
United States is to do so at a US embassy
in your country or at a port of entry. You
can't cross the border in the Rio Grande River Valley
in Texas, then get caught, then.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Claim you're seeking asylum. It doesn't work that way. So
they lie. What a surprise.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
But all illegals lie. And once that notion washes through
you and you open your eyes and see clearly, you
will say boy lewis right.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
They do all lie, right, every last one of them.
They lie.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It is the nature of illegals to lie. They can't
tell the truth. The truth is they don't belong here,
and they're taking advance. They lie all day, every day.
They lie on their paperwork. They lie and pretend they're
eligible for employment in the parking lot of the home depot.
They lie to the lady at the front counter at
the public school, pretending that their child is a resident.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
They're not a resident.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Public school enrollment is based on residency. Illegals don't have residency.
They are a resident of their home country. They lie
when they apply for public social services.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
They lie to the landlord.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Now legally, in California, the landlord's not allowed to ask, hey,
are you a citizen of the country Before you fill
out a rental application. We can't ask that, but that's
on us. They legally can't. They can't engage in a contract.
They're in the country illegally.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
So they're lying.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
They know they're lying, but they lie all day, every day,
whether it's stealing Social Security numbers in order to work,
or using fraudu work documents that they get down at
Santi Alley or wherever like, they're always lying. And so
once the harshness of that statement melts a little bit
(13:11):
and you understand that's true, they're always lying. They have
to be lying. They don't have any legal documents. They're
not eligible to work, they're not eligible to be in
a contract for apartment for a rent, they're not eligible
to enroll in public school.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
What are they doing. They're stealing.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So once you marry a group of people, hundreds of
thousands of them that lie for a living, and then
you say, hey, if you open up a daycare center
and say you have ninety four children here and just
submit those invoices to the state government, the state.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Government will send you a check. Liars will take that
every day, all day. So that's really the core problem.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
We already have enough liars in our country who are Americans.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
We don't need.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
An entire group of people who one hundred percent of
the time lie for a living, all right, So guess
what it wasn't just childcare, also home healthcare.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That was the other.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We're just scratching the surface of how much these people
lie and how much they've been stealing.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
From the system.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So back to Nick Shirley, he didn't publish this in
the initial drop of all the illegals pretending to run
day care centers. He went into another area town home
health care services. That's the other thing that Somali nationals
illegally in Minnesota seemed to be proficient at two things
they got really good at right away. Can't speak English.
(14:41):
I mean to look at them, they do not look
like they're doing very well economically, but somehow are able
to do childcare and home healthcare.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So he went to a home healthcare or he went
to a strip mall.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Effectively, where there was dozens of home healthcare placards and offices,
but no nurses, no application forms, no staff, no doctors,
no no oxygen tanks, no not.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
This received a complaint that Chelan mentioned your description. We're
in this building, announcing the individuals who sit here, Oh,
we're just seeing we're checking out the rates for healthcare.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So here he is getting he's getting a challenged by
the police. He's going door to door to all these
fake home healthcare Somali scam places.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
They're all in the same building.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It's hilarious, like you would think they would spread around
a little bit. And so the Somali people called the
police on Nick Shirley, and Shirley's saying, no, I'm just
I'm asking for a rate card.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm looking for rates for healthcare because.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
There's fourteen healthcare companies inside this building.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
So fourteen healthcare companies inside one building.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's beautiful. And he's trying to.
Speaker 11 (15:47):
Assume because of Somali providers and everyone in your strange lands.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
No, we're just checking this is this is a area
that we're allowed to enforce trust besting organists. Is there
any other reason that you guys are here, Well, we
were checking rate.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
No means weird checking rates.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
We asked for rads. Yeah, and there's a Somali lady saying, no,
you're not.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
We're not try So it's impossible to go into a
building in downtown Minneapolis, where there are fourteen home health
care provider stores or whatever offices all in the same
corridor and ask for rates to.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Get the competitive rates.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
But if you first off, even if you didn't have
a camera, they don't have rates because they have no paper,
because they have no computers. I mean, it's it's so absurd.
There's one Somali lady there that's all confused. She doesn't
know what's going on. She must be the little sister.
And some people in the fact that come running out
right away all annoyed.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
Is there any other reason that you guys are here?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well, we're checking rates.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Noans weird checking rates.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
We asked for rads.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
Okay, I'm gonna have if you guys at it, we're
gonna step up that we alright. So all right, we're
getting escorted out right now.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
The police have arrived.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
When you're check out the rates, seeing what was happening
inside of this building.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, he's got he's getting escorted outside because it is
public property. Excuse me, it is private property once you're inside. Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So it is right and proper that you obey.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Unlike everybody else, these people obey lawful orders.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Uh. And the cops said, so, what's going on, what's
the problem offs here?
Speaker 13 (17:25):
Well, so again we're we've been getting our courts from
there now, multiple individuals that you guys were harassing individuals who.
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Are work here.
Speaker 13 (17:34):
At the end of the day, this is private property
and it's one that people are allowed to ask you
to leave. And it's also in the Minneapolis Police Department
is allowed to enforce stress passing ordinance at this address.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, it's so fun to listen to the cop.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It's like, you know, I mean, we are allowed to
enforce stress passing ordinances. This is private property and the
cop knows what's going on. But technically you're not allowed
to be on private property. If the people that are
on private that lease the private property, I wonder who
the landlord is address.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
Yeah, so as we got escorted out of this building,
the Somalis filmed us as we left and we headed
over to the next building that had twenty two of
the same home healthcare providers operating from inside.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Twenty two fourteen in this building twenty two and the
Somalis were filming.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That's that's rich. I thought they didn't like being filmed. Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
The story is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger,
and it's getting worse and worse and worse for.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
These Somali people.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Put him in the back of the icevan and make
sure the ice vans are fueled up.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Baby.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Lou Penrose in for John cobelt this week. Good to
be with you. Reports out of the CDC say we
are going to have an exceptionally powerful flu season. What
that means visa VI COVID and there's still a COVID
strain out there, which I understand is pretty strong. And
like where we're at with respect to flu reports and
(19:07):
fatalities is all kind of up in the air. ABC
News Mary Cacados is with us. Mary, Thanks for spending
time with us. It's kind of hard now for the
CDC to crunch numbers since there weren't flu cases for
like four or so low for four years during COVID
and now there's few COVID cases, but flu cases are
coming back.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Yeah, we see that flu activity is rising sharply across
the US. The CDC released some data today showing that
so far this season, there have been at least seven
point five million illnesses, eighty one thousand hospitalizations and three thousand,
one hundred deaths. We are also seen in the increase
(19:48):
in the number of people going to the emergency room.
Outpatient visits across the country are increasing. And this is
all in addition to COVID nineteen and respiratories and social
virus also known as RSB also rightly circulating at this
time of year. So doctors say they are expecting flu
like illnesses to continue to climb in the coming weeks,
(20:10):
especially after holiday gatherings and as colder weather continues over
the next several weeks.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
It was reported that the strain of flu of flu
not covid flu, that is causing this stark rise, was
not covered in this year's flu vaccination.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Did you hear anything about that?
Speaker 13 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
So this new flu strain is called subclate k. It's
a variant of the virus that's the subtype of what
we typically call influenza A. Basically this subplate It was
circulating in the summer in other countries and it was
a main driver of a spike in flu cases in
countries such as Canada, Japan, the UK. So this flu
shot was made before subclad K emerged. Now, this does
(20:56):
mean that it's not a one to one match in
terms of protectness, but we do have some data showing
that the flu shot does still provide protectiveness against this
flu virus. It will still protect against infection, and even
if you do get sick after getting vaccinated, you are
much less likely to get severely sick, much less likely
(21:17):
to get hospitalized, and less likely to die.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, it's strange that we went I mean, nobody even
really heard of COVID before COVID, I mean, researchers and
people knew about coronavirus, but.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
It was just the flu.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
It was Christmas time, it was in the winter time,
and it was the flu.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And then COVID hit.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Flu cases fell off the number the charts, you know,
the numbers felt the charts. Now, COVID is dwindling but
still seems to rise every year around this time of year.
And now we have the flu as well, new strains
of the flu and RSV. I feel like we're fighting
an uphill battle with colds in a winter time now.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
Yeah, it's definitely a very very a rather a regular
time of year for people to get sick with a
multitude of these viruses. We do see this spike every
now and so often, and it's important to remember that
we haven't even seen the peak of flu yet. It
is going to come in later January early February. So
that's why public health experts are saying it's really important
(22:20):
to make sure you're washing your hands with soap and water,
you're staying home if you're sick, or avoiding people who
are sick. Make sure you're covering your costs or speezes
with a tissue or with an elbow, cleaning and disinfecting
objects that are frequently touched because these viruses are very contagious,
so the more that you can do to limit yourself
(22:40):
getting sick, the more likely the rather the less likely
you are to spread it to others, especially those who
are at higher risk of severe complications.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Babies. News is Americacados. Thanks so much, good to have
you on. Appreciate the update.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Sure, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
So there you have it.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
We now have a new strain of flu that is
also competing with the flu that you got the flu
shot for. But the flu shot was manufactured after or
before the.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You can't win the game right before the new strain
came out, so you got the shop and no reason.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
But she says it's still good. I've never really fully
understood that. They say, well, there's a new strain.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So if you're getting vaccinated for everything but the strain
you have, how is anything then that other vaccine.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
They always say that that it's.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Well, but it won't be as severe, you won't be
sick as long, and.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You know, it lessens it. And I questioned that, I
don't know if that's absolutely true. Maybe it's true, you
do what you want, but I do know this.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
They did do testing recently on this, and they literally tested.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Face masks in hospitals and.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Air filters in airplanes like commercial airlines, if the cabin
filters are in there for like eighteen hundred hours. So
they tested they swabbed the cabin filters of an airplane
and swab the face masks of the people that work
in hospitals, and guess which was worse. Guess where's what's dirtier,
(24:22):
Being in an airplane or being at a hospital. It
turns out neither neither were anywhere near as close of.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Being germy as the surfaces.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Of both the airplane and the hospital so you know,
swab an air filter not so bad. Swab the armrest gross.
So it's not what you're breathing, it's what you're touching.
So keep your hands to yourself and wash your hands

The John Cobelt Show on KFI AM six forty Live
everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
It's the John Cobelt Show. Lou Penrose sitting in for
John Cobelt this week. Good to have you along with us.
Coming up following the news at two, there's a report out,
a Redfin report. It's pretty I mean, it's troubling, and
yet it's quite sensible that the Palisades is being purchased.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
The land there is being purchased. People that used to
own the land, or people that own the.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Land don't want to wait around forever, and there is
a lot of uncertainty about what will happen to it,
but it will always be valuable land, and it's a
it's a gamble at this point if you want to
buy up a plot of land and hang on to
it and see where the city goes with the rebuilding,
(25:52):
but it's pretty clear to most people that houses aren't
going back anytime soon? So what happens to the land,
And some speculators are deciding.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I'll just grab it? Why can't I?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Michael Monks has been covering the story, and we'll talk
to him about that coming up following the news at
two o'clock.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
I just want to say, Lou, thank you for telling
it like it is, telling the truth. Yes, these people
are liars, and they lie day in and day out,
and what's going on in Minnesota is going on in
a lot of other places. And finally somebody is peeling
(26:31):
back the layers to show the deception and the fraud.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Finally, Yeah, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Somebody has to tell the truth, and if it has
to be me, I will, and I am in a
great position to tell the truth because my heart does
not bleed for illegals. Don't let them make you feel
bad for these people. Don't feel bad if you want compassion,
reserve your compassion for your fellow American who's been being
(27:00):
encroached upon by illegals. But yes, it's a true statement.
All illegals lie, and that's where you have to start
in any examination of what's going on in any of
these illegal communities, undocumented communities, migrant communities, whatever fake word
you want to use, go from the point of view
(27:21):
that they're always lying. So start there, don't listen to
what they say, and it'll be a.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Lot easier to deal with them. Of course, they're lying.
How can they not lie?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
What would an illegal tell the truth about the only
time they're telling the truth is when they're screaming in
the back of the ice Van Penrose.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
You go from saying good things to them saying all
illegals lie because they faked asylum. Some of them, I'm
sure really need an asylum, So then that doesn't make
them liars. That's the problem with media, the stupid blanket statement.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Well, sometimes the blanket statement is called a blanket statement
because it works like a blanket.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It covers them all. So why are you sure some.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Of them were seeking asylum? Well, I'm sure they all
were pretending to seek asylum. They were all playing make
believe with our asylum laws. Why are you so sure
that any of them qualify for asylum? Asylum is a
word lou Penro's rule number four words mean things.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Okay, words matter.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
So I worked for three US members of Congress for
fifteen years and did fifteen years of immigration casework or
supervised immigration case workers.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Asylum is pretty clear in.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
American immigration law, and it's pretty concrete and it's short
and sweet.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
It's very hard to qualify for asylum, very very hard.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
You have to demonstrate, demonstrate that you're being persecuted, that
you're facing imprisonment or death in your home country based
on five criteria five, not six, not two, five, only
five nothing else.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Want a better life, too bad, so said Famine too bad?
So sad. Can't make a living too bad, so said five.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
You have to demonstrate that you are going to face
imprisonment or death in your home country based on race, religion, nationality,
membership in an anti government group. That's a little bit confusing,
but trust me, none of these Somali people do so.
Race with religion, nationality, membership in a pc PSG, or
(29:36):
political opinion. You honestly think these Somali people you see
on TV from Minnesota were facing death because of their
political opinion in Somalia. You think they were activists, right,
They're all of the same religion. That's The big argument
in Minneapolis is that they got the call to prayer.
(29:56):
They're not gonna they're not facing jail time or death
because their nationality, and they're not facing jail time.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Or death because of their race.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
So, as a professional immigration case worker in a past life,
I am able to give a educated opinion on the
amount of these Somali.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Nationals that will be eligible for asylum. That would be
zero zero.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And by the way, you have to demonstrate those conditions
to be eligible to go to an asside to go
it to an immigration judge, we could still stamp rejected.
You could actually be facing persecution or death in your
home country based on your religion, and we could say
that's your problem. Man, convert, we don't have to take you.
(30:46):
You have to demonstrate one of those five conditions just
to get an appointment. And none of these people have
any of these conditions, none of them zero.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
That's how come I can use blanket statements.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And when I say all illegals lie, tell me where
they're telling the truth? Are they telling the truth when
they work under the table? Why are they in the
home depot parking lot? Why the parking lot that doesn't
seem my dad didn't go to a parking lot to
get his job, right. You know why because they're ineligible
for employment in the United States and they know it,
(31:22):
so they've got to scam.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Somebody rolls into the parking lot with a pickup truck,
two guys jump in. You know what that is illegal? Right?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Filling out a rental application with the sister in laws
social Security number, who is questionably legal in the United States,
and then six guys in a two bedroom apartment in
Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You know what that is illegal, right, violation of the
rental agreement. That's lying. Enrolling your kid in the public schools.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
A child of an illegal is not eligible to be
enrolled in Los Angeles Unified School District. Eligibility in LA
Unified School District is based on residency. Residency is a
word Louke Penrose Rule number four words matter. Residency means
you reside in Los Angeles, and illegal does not reside
(32:15):
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
In illegal is a.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Foreigner masquerading as a Los Angeles parent. They reside in
their country. They're illegally in our country, so they don't reside.
So you cannot say my child resides in Los Angeles County.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And therefore is eligible for public education. You know what
that is? Lying?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I mean we can go on and on and on,
and it's incredible to me because people trying to figure out, Like,
and I appreciate you wrestling, but it sounds like at
the core you're a good person.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
You're wrestling to find out, Well, what's going on with
these illegals? I mean, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yeah, they're lying, they're not good people. They're liars stealing
from you. But you're afraid to call it out because
you think that is unbecoming and looked badly on you.
I'm not I'm not afraid to call it out, and
it does not look bad on me.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I love the look, and so does.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
A majority of the nation that voted in this last election.
There's another rule, Louke Penrose, rule number six, no tears
in the back of the ice van. So when that
ice ban rolls up in Minneapolis and Columbus, Ohio, and
downtown Los Angeles or wherever the next raid is, there
(33:37):
will be no whaling. I don't want to hear any screaming.
I don't want to hear any crime. Lou Penrose Rule
number six, no tears in the back of that Icevan

Speaker 2 (33:51):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Covelt Show podcast.
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 find AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Lou Penrose sitting into John Cobelt all this week.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Good to have you along with us.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Well, this little story of this little YouTuber in Minneapolis
has gone viral plus I mean, it sparked an entire
generation of independent investigative reporters that are literally knocking on
doors all over the country of Somali owned fraudulent daycare centers.
(00:34):
So just to bring you up to speed, if you've
not heard the story, and I don't know how you
could have missed it, but there is a twenty three
year old YouTuber by the name of Nick Shirley, and
he uncovered all kinds of fraud in Minneapolis. Minneapolis is
the number one place for illegal aliens from Somalia. Now
they'll tell you that they're legally there, and I mean,
(00:57):
I guess technically, if the Biden minister granted an illegal
alien temporary protection status, then they have status to be there.
But President Trump revoked the temporary protective status, so once
we catch.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Them, we're kicking their ass out of the country.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
But while they were here, they were very industrious with
your tax dollars and set up fake childcare centers because
in Minnesota they're so progressive.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And they want everybody to have affordable childcare.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
So if you're a low cast, if you're a low income,
or you can't afford childcare at all, you can still
go to these basically government subsidized childcare centers and pay
little to nothing to have childcare, which is insane in
and of itself. But nevertheless, Governor Tim Wallas all excited
about himself for providing this wonderful feature to the people
(01:49):
of Minnesota. But the problem was a bunch of illegals
from Somalia caught wind of this scam and realized, Hey,
if I just put up a sign outside this window
and and say we're a childcare center, I can bill
the state of Minnesota for seventy four children, ninety nine children,
whatever I'm registered for, and they'll send us a check.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Which is what was going on.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And that story there's literally forty two minutes, only forty
two minutes. He spent an afternoon going to childcare centers,
and one after another there were just a bunch of
Koi lying Somali natives in the country illegally pretending to
not know anything and slamming the door on him, and
(02:35):
he edited all up and I think it came close
to The entire gross domestic product of Somalia was built
out of the state of Minnesota in the last fiscal year.
So other reporters are doing this now, other young journalists
with their cell phone and a microphone.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
The second largest.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Somali population in the United States is Columbus, Ohio. So
some cat in Columbus, Ohio said, Hey, I wonder if
this is going on here. So we went to the
Somali area of Columbus, Ohio and went to the first
day care center.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
So right now we are in front of the Great
Minds Learning Academy. This is one of the many daycare
centers learning centers here in Columbus, Ohio that are associated
with the Somali community.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
We wanted to come out to Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
And investigate what might be going on in the second
largest Somali community in the United States of America.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Now, what do you think is going on at the
daycare centers? There?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Striking to me that it is a uniquely Somali attribute
to run daycare centers in the United States.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's shocking.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I mean, so we have two major hubs of Somali
refugees that crossed illegally in the United States and were
granted temporary protection status, and in both areas in Minneapolis, Minnesota,
which is nothing like Somalia, and Columbus, Ohio, which is
far from Minneapolis but also nothing like Somalia.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
These people instinctively opened up.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Daycare centers in states that had options for low or
no income parents that need low income daycare.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, what are the odds here?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
He is speaking to some of the these two guys.
They live across the street from the daycare center.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It's a daycare center by Somalia's and stuff like that.
Have you ever seen any kids in this place here?
Speaker 5 (04:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Nothing, I know, I've just seen it the building itself.
I've never seen nobody come out to the building or
go into the building. You've never seen anybody over there
at all.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Guys lived across the street from this vacant building for years,
never saw a child, saw a bunch of Somali people
hovering around.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
And then a sign went up and that's it. That's that.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But to be thorough and fair to these elusive daycare people,
that are illegally hear from Somali, a faking asylum.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
They said, all right, well, look, maybe just maybe the parents.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Don't drop the children off, you know, all ninety nine
of them, don't drop the children off in front of
the building.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Let's just let's go around back. It's all.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
We came to the back, just like those guys suggested, and.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
There's nothing here.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, we could keep poking around, but there's so many
of these centers to go to. We're just getting started.
So we're gonna go around the city. We're gonna go
to a few more of these places. We're gonna see
if we can get anybody to talk to us.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
How about that this is his first daycare center.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
You know, these fake Somali ones in Columbus, Ohio, and
he's got a whole list of them, because again they're
on the website for the state of Ohio. This is
incredible to me, This is absolutely incredible to me. We
have journalism in this country. We have investigative journalists, we
have protection elements of government agencies. There are investigators at
(06:03):
the federal government. There's the Office of the Inspector General.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
This is fraud. This is huge fraud and it's so obvious.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I like when they bring out the actual people that
are in charge of inspecting these kinds of things and
they say, oh, we're going to send an inspector down there.
I mean, these media reports that we're seeing are a
troubling What do you mean troubling?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Here is let's see. I want to get her name
right here, because it's a good one. This is Tiki Brown.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Tiki Brown is the commissioner of the Department of Child,
Youth and Family Services for the State of Minnesota. She
had no idea this was going on, like it was
no red flag that all these Somali nationals that are
in the country illegally are all getting into the daycare
business and they're all putting the daycare business all next
(06:55):
to each other. It's just in the Somali part of town.
So they asked her, Hey, what are we doing about this?
Have you at least stopped payment on the check for the.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Current childcare centers that have been named in the video.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
We have not paused.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
There isn't a current pause on any of their payments.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Not a pause on the payments.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Nothing going on that's wrong here, no reason to stop
paying the illegals.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
For the empty.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Childcare building with the misspelled word learning they are.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
You know, those those continue to move forward as we
gain more information from the folks that are out visiting
today and gathering additional information that that may change, but
currently there is no pause on any of the those individuals.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
That's right there, you go, no pause. We're not stopping
the payment. We're going to send some people out. Don't
you think by now the Somali people figured it out
and they're racing to get as many of their own
kids to fill up the classroom. I mean, come on, lady,
we're way ahead of you, and they're robin as blind
and everybody knows it, so don't even pretend that you're
(08:02):
on top of it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
So The John Cobalt Show Louke Penrose in for John
Cobolt on KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Lou Penrose in for John Coblt on The John coblt Show.
It's becoming comical, It really is becoming comical. Have you
seen the memes of all the Somali pirates with the
machine guns applying for licenses open daycare centers. I mean,
what a joke, what an absolute joke. And what's funny
is it's over. It's been exposed. And now you're seeing
(08:44):
elected officials, the attorney general of the state, the state
lawmakers saying we need to do a complete investigation, investigation,
end it, stop it, cut off all the money, round
up these people and send them home.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
And now, as it turns out, the illegals.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
From Somalia in Minneapolis are not the only ones. They're
doing it in Columbus, Ohio, and guess what, they're also
from Somalia. So it seems that it's quite correct. Import pirates,
get piracy.
Speaker 9 (09:24):
Unbelievable about the fake childcare centers. I live in Saint
Louis and Missouri, and there are so many people who
are doing that. Our city was giving grant money for
people with childcare businesses, and I see people who claim
to have childcare businesses driving Jaguars, going on luxury cruises,
(09:46):
all kinds of ridiculous things, but they supposedly have childcare.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Yeah, there's no childcare going on. This is a complete fraud,
and it's the perfect fraud. So it's very easy. You
see this, and this is part of the problem. You
can't give grant money to liars.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
You have to be very careful.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Now we have liars in our country, and we have
just enough inspectors at the Department of Social Services to
go look after the liars, and still some liars slip through.
So we have that problem here. Why would we import
more liars? That's the part I never understand like we
(10:26):
act like, well, not everybody lies, loo, some do, but
not all. Majority don't lie, right, that's of Americans. Illegals lie,
like all illegals lie.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I've said this before and people say that's so harsh.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
What do you mean all illegals lie. Let that statement
sink in for a moment.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Follow me on this. All illegals lie.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
They lied when they came into the country and pretended
that they were seeking asylum. They took advantage of a
weak president who either didn't understand what was.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Going on or wanted more illegals in the country. I
don't know, but.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
He granted them temporary protective status, which is a lie.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
They don't need temporary protection status.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
The only way to legally apply for asylum in the
United States is to do so at a US embassy
in your country or at a port of entry. You
can't cross the border in the Rio Grande River Valley
in Texas, then get caught, then.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Claim you're seeking asylum. It doesn't work that way. So
they lie. What a surprise.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
But all illegals lie. And once that notion washes through
you and you open your eyes and see clearly, you
will say boy lewis right.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
They do all lie, right, every last one of them.
They lie.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It is the nature of illegals to lie. They can't
tell the truth. The truth is they don't belong here,
and they're taking advance. They lie all day, every day.
They lie on their paperwork. They lie and pretend they're
eligible for employment in the parking lot of the home depot.
They lie to the lady at the front counter at
the public school, pretending that their child is a resident.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
They're not a resident.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Public school enrollment is based on residency. Illegals don't have residency.
They are a resident of their home country. They lie
when they apply for public social services.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
They lie to the landlord.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Now legally, in California, the landlord's not allowed to ask, hey,
are you a citizen of the country Before you fill
out a rental application. We can't ask that, but that's
on us. They legally can't. They can't engage in a contract.
They're in the country illegally.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
So they're lying.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
They know they're lying, but they lie all day, every day,
whether it's stealing Social Security numbers in order to work,
or using fraudu work documents that they get down at
Santi Alley or wherever like, they're always lying. And so
once the harshness of that statement melts a little bit
(13:11):
and you understand that's true, they're always lying. They have
to be lying. They don't have any legal documents. They're
not eligible to work, they're not eligible to be in
a contract for apartment for a rent, they're not eligible
to enroll in public school.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
What are they doing. They're stealing.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So once you marry a group of people, hundreds of
thousands of them that lie for a living, and then
you say, hey, if you open up a daycare center
and say you have ninety four children here and just
submit those invoices to the state government, the state.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Government will send you a check. Liars will take that
every day, all day. So that's really the core problem.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
We already have enough liars in our country who are Americans.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
We don't need.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
An entire group of people who one hundred percent of
the time lie for a living, all right, So guess
what it wasn't just childcare, also home healthcare.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That was the other.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
We're just scratching the surface of how much these people
lie and how much they've been stealing.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
From the system.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
So back to Nick Shirley, he didn't publish this in
the initial drop of all the illegals pretending to run
day care centers. He went into another area town home
health care services. That's the other thing that Somali nationals
illegally in Minnesota seemed to be proficient at two things
they got really good at right away. Can't speak English.
(14:41):
I mean to look at them, they do not look
like they're doing very well economically, but somehow are able
to do childcare and home healthcare.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So he went to a home healthcare or he went
to a strip mall.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Effectively, where there was dozens of home healthcare placards and offices,
but no nurses, no application forms, no staff, no doctors,
no no oxygen tanks, no not.
Speaker 10 (15:05):
This received a complaint that Chelan mentioned your description. We're
in this building, announcing the individuals who sit here, Oh,
we're just seeing we're checking out the rates for healthcare.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
So here he is getting he's getting a challenged by
the police. He's going door to door to all these
fake home healthcare Somali scam places.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
They're all in the same building.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It's hilarious, like you would think they would spread around
a little bit. And so the Somali people called the
police on Nick Shirley, and Shirley's saying, no, I'm just
I'm asking for a rate card.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm looking for rates for healthcare because.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
There's fourteen healthcare companies inside this building.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
So fourteen healthcare companies inside one building.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
That's beautiful. And he's trying to.
Speaker 11 (15:47):
Assume because of Somali providers and everyone in your strange lands.
Speaker 10 (15:50):
No, we're just checking this is this is a area
that we're allowed to enforce trust besting organists. Is there
any other reason that you guys are here, Well, we
were checking rate.
Speaker 9 (16:00):
No means weird checking rates.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
We asked for rads. Yeah, and there's a Somali lady saying, no,
you're not.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
We're not try So it's impossible to go into a
building in downtown Minneapolis, where there are fourteen home health
care provider stores or whatever offices all in the same
corridor and ask for rates to.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Get the competitive rates.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
But if you first off, even if you didn't have
a camera, they don't have rates because they have no paper,
because they have no computers. I mean, it's it's so absurd.
There's one Somali lady there that's all confused. She doesn't
know what's going on. She must be the little sister.
And some people in the fact that come running out
right away all annoyed.
Speaker 10 (16:45):
Is there any other reason that you guys are here?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Well, we're checking rates.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Noans weird checking rates.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
We asked for rads.
Speaker 10 (16:52):
Okay, I'm gonna have if you guys at it, we're
gonna step up that we alright. So all right, we're
getting escorted out right now.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
The police have arrived.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
When you're check out the rates, seeing what was happening
inside of this building.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, he's got he's getting escorted outside because it is
public property. Excuse me, it is private property once you're inside. Uh.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
So it is right and proper that you obey.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Unlike everybody else, these people obey lawful orders.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Uh. And the cops said, so, what's going on, what's
the problem offs here?
Speaker 13 (17:25):
Well, so again we're we've been getting our courts from
there now, multiple individuals that you guys were harassing individuals who.
Speaker 11 (17:32):
Are work here.
Speaker 13 (17:34):
At the end of the day, this is private property
and it's one that people are allowed to ask you
to leave. And it's also in the Minneapolis Police Department
is allowed to enforce stress passing ordinance at this address.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, it's so fun to listen to the cop.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
It's like, you know, I mean, we are allowed to
enforce stress passing ordinances. This is private property and the
cop knows what's going on. But technically you're not allowed
to be on private property. If the people that are
on private that lease the private property, I wonder who
the landlord is address.
Speaker 12 (18:03):
Yeah, so as we got escorted out of this building,
the Somalis filmed us as we left and we headed
over to the next building that had twenty two of
the same home healthcare providers operating from inside.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Twenty two fourteen in this building twenty two and the
Somalis were filming.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
That's that's rich. I thought they didn't like being filmed. Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
The story is just getting bigger and bigger and bigger,
and it's getting worse and worse and worse for.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
These Somali people.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Put him in the back of the icevan and make
sure the ice vans are fueled up.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Baby.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Lou Penrose in for John cobelt this week. Good to
be with you. Reports out of the CDC say we
are going to have an exceptionally powerful flu season. What
that means visa VI COVID and there's still a COVID
strain out there, which I understand is pretty strong. And
like where we're at with respect to flu reports and
(19:07):
fatalities is all kind of up in the air. ABC
News Mary Cacados is with us. Mary, Thanks for spending
time with us. It's kind of hard now for the
CDC to crunch numbers since there weren't flu cases for
like four or so low for four years during COVID
and now there's few COVID cases, but flu cases are
coming back.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Yeah, we see that flu activity is rising sharply across
the US. The CDC released some data today showing that
so far this season, there have been at least seven
point five million illnesses, eighty one thousand hospitalizations and three thousand,
one hundred deaths. We are also seen in the increase
(19:48):
in the number of people going to the emergency room.
Outpatient visits across the country are increasing. And this is
all in addition to COVID nineteen and respiratories and social
virus also known as RSB also rightly circulating at this
time of year. So doctors say they are expecting flu
like illnesses to continue to climb in the coming weeks,
(20:10):
especially after holiday gatherings and as colder weather continues over
the next several weeks.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
It was reported that the strain of flu of flu
not covid flu, that is causing this stark rise, was
not covered in this year's flu vaccination.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Did you hear anything about that?
Speaker 13 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
So this new flu strain is called subclate k. It's
a variant of the virus that's the subtype of what
we typically call influenza A. Basically this subplate It was
circulating in the summer in other countries and it was
a main driver of a spike in flu cases in
countries such as Canada, Japan, the UK. So this flu
shot was made before subclad K emerged. Now, this does
(20:56):
mean that it's not a one to one match in
terms of protectness, but we do have some data showing
that the flu shot does still provide protectiveness against this
flu virus. It will still protect against infection, and even
if you do get sick after getting vaccinated, you are
much less likely to get severely sick, much less likely
(21:17):
to get hospitalized, and less likely to die.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah, it's strange that we went I mean, nobody even
really heard of COVID before COVID, I mean, researchers and
people knew about coronavirus, but.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
It was just the flu.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
It was Christmas time, it was in the winter time,
and it was the flu.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
And then COVID hit.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Flu cases fell off the number the charts, you know,
the numbers felt the charts. Now, COVID is dwindling but
still seems to rise every year around this time of year.
And now we have the flu as well, new strains
of the flu and RSV. I feel like we're fighting
an uphill battle with colds in a winter time now.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
Yeah, it's definitely a very very a rather a regular
time of year for people to get sick with a
multitude of these viruses. We do see this spike every
now and so often, and it's important to remember that
we haven't even seen the peak of flu yet. It
is going to come in later January early February. So
that's why public health experts are saying it's really important
(22:20):
to make sure you're washing your hands with soap and water,
you're staying home if you're sick, or avoiding people who
are sick. Make sure you're covering your costs or speezes
with a tissue or with an elbow, cleaning and disinfecting
objects that are frequently touched because these viruses are very contagious,
so the more that you can do to limit yourself
(22:40):
getting sick, the more likely the rather the less likely
you are to spread it to others, especially those who
are at higher risk of severe complications.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Babies. News is Americacados. Thanks so much, good to have
you on. Appreciate the update.
Speaker 7 (22:53):
Sure, thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
So there you have it.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
We now have a new strain of flu that is
also competing with the flu that you got the flu
shot for. But the flu shot was manufactured after or
before the.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Man.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
You can't win the game right before the new strain
came out, so you got the shop and no reason.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
But she says it's still good. I've never really fully
understood that. They say, well, there's a new strain.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
So if you're getting vaccinated for everything but the strain
you have, how is anything then that other vaccine.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
They always say that that it's.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Well, but it won't be as severe, you won't be
sick as long, and.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
You know, it lessens it. And I questioned that, I
don't know if that's absolutely true. Maybe it's true, you
do what you want, but I do know this.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
They did do testing recently on this, and they literally tested.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Face masks in hospitals and.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
Air filters in airplanes like commercial airlines, if the cabin
filters are in there for like eighteen hundred hours. So
they tested they swabbed the cabin filters of an airplane
and swab the face masks of the people that work
in hospitals, and guess which was worse. Guess where's what's dirtier,
(24:22):
Being in an airplane or being at a hospital. It
turns out neither neither were anywhere near as close of.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Being germy as the surfaces.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Of both the airplane and the hospital so you know,
swab an air filter not so bad. Swab the armrest gross.
So it's not what you're breathing, it's what you're touching.
So keep your hands to yourself and wash your hands
and you'll be fine. Louke Penrose Info John Coblt on

It's the John Cobelt Show. Lou Penrose sitting in for
John Cobelt this week. Good to have you along with us.
Coming up following the news at two, there's a report out,
a Redfin report. It's pretty I mean, it's troubling, and
yet it's quite sensible that the Palisades is being purchased.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
The land there is being purchased. People that used to
own the land, or people that own the.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Land don't want to wait around forever, and there is
a lot of uncertainty about what will happen to it,
but it will always be valuable land, and it's a
it's a gamble at this point if you want to
buy up a plot of land and hang on to
it and see where the city goes with the rebuilding,
(25:52):
but it's pretty clear to most people that houses aren't
going back anytime soon? So what happens to the land,
And some speculators are deciding.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I'll just grab it? Why can't I?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Michael Monks has been covering the story, and we'll talk
to him about that coming up following the news at
two o'clock.
Speaker 11 (26:10):
I just want to say, Lou, thank you for telling
it like it is, telling the truth. Yes, these people
are liars, and they lie day in and day out,
and what's going on in Minnesota is going on in
a lot of other places. And finally somebody is peeling
(26:31):
back the layers to show the deception and the fraud.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Finally, Yeah, I appreciate the call.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Somebody has to tell the truth, and if it has
to be me, I will, and I am in a
great position to tell the truth because my heart does
not bleed for illegals. Don't let them make you feel
bad for these people. Don't feel bad if you want compassion,
reserve your compassion for your fellow American who's been being
(27:00):
encroached upon by illegals. But yes, it's a true statement.
All illegals lie, and that's where you have to start
in any examination of what's going on in any of
these illegal communities, undocumented communities, migrant communities, whatever fake word
you want to use, go from the point of view
(27:21):
that they're always lying. So start there, don't listen to
what they say, and it'll be a.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Lot easier to deal with them. Of course, they're lying.
How can they not lie?
Speaker 3 (27:31):
What would an illegal tell the truth about the only
time they're telling the truth is when they're screaming in
the back of the ice Van Penrose.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
You go from saying good things to them saying all
illegals lie because they faked asylum. Some of them, I'm
sure really need an asylum, So then that doesn't make
them liars. That's the problem with media, the stupid blanket statement.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Well, sometimes the blanket statement is called a blanket statement
because it works like a blanket.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It covers them all. So why are you sure some.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Of them were seeking asylum? Well, I'm sure they all
were pretending to seek asylum. They were all playing make
believe with our asylum laws. Why are you so sure
that any of them qualify for asylum? Asylum is a
word lou Penro's rule number four words mean things.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Okay, words matter.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
So I worked for three US members of Congress for
fifteen years and did fifteen years of immigration casework or
supervised immigration case workers.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Asylum is pretty clear in.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
American immigration law, and it's pretty concrete and it's short
and sweet.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
It's very hard to qualify for asylum, very very hard.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
You have to demonstrate, demonstrate that you're being persecuted, that
you're facing imprisonment or death in your home country based
on five criteria five, not six, not two, five, only
five nothing else.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Want a better life, too bad, so said Famine too bad?
So sad. Can't make a living too bad, so said five.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
You have to demonstrate that you are going to face
imprisonment or death in your home country based on race, religion, nationality,
membership in an anti government group. That's a little bit confusing,
but trust me, none of these Somali people do so.
Race with religion, nationality, membership in a pc PSG, or
(29:36):
political opinion. You honestly think these Somali people you see
on TV from Minnesota were facing death because of their
political opinion in Somalia. You think they were activists, right,
They're all of the same religion. That's The big argument
in Minneapolis is that they got the call to prayer.
(29:56):
They're not gonna they're not facing jail time or death
because their nationality, and they're not facing jail time.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
Or death because of their race.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
So, as a professional immigration case worker in a past life,
I am able to give a educated opinion on the
amount of these Somali.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Nationals that will be eligible for asylum. That would be
zero zero.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And by the way, you have to demonstrate those conditions
to be eligible to go to an asside to go
it to an immigration judge, we could still stamp rejected.
You could actually be facing persecution or death in your
home country based on your religion, and we could say
that's your problem. Man, convert, we don't have to take you.
(30:46):
You have to demonstrate one of those five conditions just
to get an appointment. And none of these people have
any of these conditions, none of them zero.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
That's how come I can use blanket statements.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
And when I say all illegals lie, tell me where
they're telling the truth? Are they telling the truth when
they work under the table? Why are they in the
home depot parking lot? Why the parking lot that doesn't
seem my dad didn't go to a parking lot to
get his job, right. You know why because they're ineligible
for employment in the United States and they know it,
(31:22):
so they've got to scam.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Somebody rolls into the parking lot with a pickup truck,
two guys jump in. You know what that is illegal? Right?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Filling out a rental application with the sister in laws
social Security number, who is questionably legal in the United States,
and then six guys in a two bedroom apartment in
Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
You know what that is illegal, right, violation of the
rental agreement. That's lying. Enrolling your kid in the public schools.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
A child of an illegal is not eligible to be
enrolled in Los Angeles Unified School District. Eligibility in LA
Unified School District is based on residency. Residency is a
word Louke Penrose Rule number four words matter. Residency means
you reside in Los Angeles, and illegal does not reside
(32:15):
in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
In illegal is a.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Foreigner masquerading as a Los Angeles parent. They reside in
their country. They're illegally in our country, so they don't reside.
So you cannot say my child resides in Los Angeles County.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And therefore is eligible for public education. You know what
that is? Lying?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
I mean we can go on and on and on,
and it's incredible to me because people trying to figure out, Like,
and I appreciate you wrestling, but it sounds like at
the core you're a good person.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
You're wrestling to find out, Well, what's going on with
these illegals? I mean, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Yeah, they're lying, they're not good people. They're liars stealing
from you. But you're afraid to call it out because
you think that is unbecoming and looked badly on you.
I'm not I'm not afraid to call it out, and
it does not look bad on me.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
I love the look, and so does.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
A majority of the nation that voted in this last election.

ice ban rolls up in Minneapolis and Columbus, Ohio, and
downtown Los Angeles or wherever the next raid is, there
(33:37):
will be no whaling. I don't want to hear any screaming.
I don't want to hear any crime. Lou Penrose Rule
