KFI a.m. 640, you're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

Welcome. We're on the radio from 1 to 4 every afternoon. You should be here. And if for some reason you have an excuse, you have to submit a permission slip.

You can listen to the podcast after 4 o'clock. It's the same as the radio show, John Cobalt's show on demand on the IHeart app.

But every day, you should consume all three hours of the show, one way or the other.

That's a requirement to stay informed and up to date.

it's hard to believe that Kamala Harris and Trump don't know exactly what's going on and how people are getting.

You know, we're getting people from 170 countries and everybody's wondering how the hell does this

happen. Well, there is a strip of land called the Darien Gap. And it's a narrow strip of land.

It's unenhabitable, nearly impassable. And it connects North America with South America.

It connects Panama with Colombia.

And in a small village in Colombia, that's where this paramilitary organization collects all the would-be immigrants and transports them through the Darien Gap and gets them into Panama.

And then from Panama, they end up at the Mexico-U.S. border.

It's a tremendous flow of bodies.
