Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio apps. Welcome to people all over
the country and beyond who got notifications today about the
appearance of Tom Holman, who's coming up in just seconds.
Tom Holman is in charge of immigration enforcement for the
Trump administration, both at the border and in the interior,
(00:21):
and he's been directing a lot of the operations along
with Homeland Security. And we're the center of the world
right now because of all the raids that have gone
on and the demonstrations and then the violence since Friday.
And we're going to get right to Tom Holman now. Tom. Welcome,
Thanks for Travis. We'll start off with what seemed to
(00:45):
trigger the whole weekend was in Paramount. There were claims
that are radio.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You know what triggered it was, which isn't getting out,
is that ICE served some criminal warrants on businesses in
the Garment district. It was a part of a bigger
criminal conspiracy investigation involving money laundering, tax evasion, and the
customs shraw where one of the companies failed to declare
(01:16):
over eighty million dollars in imports and failed to pay
seventy million dollars in tax tariffs, and it was a
criminal discause we starved a criminal warrant. And while we
started that criminal warrant, wearrested about forty lands and we
had other operations going on in the city at the
same time. But whether they showed down down there at
the garment district and started the protests and the tax
(01:36):
on officers, we're sort of criminal warrants. And for the
last few days were continualized operations. We arrested out of
public safety throughout to Offer Street. We asked the murderer,
We arrested several child predators, checked us child sex predators.
We arrested a rapists, we arrested someone that committed our robbery.
We just we took out a lot of We addressed
(01:57):
the Vietnamese national who murdered too young pead teenagers at
a graduation party. We made Los Angeles safer. And people,
you know, don't want to hear that. They just want
to you know, dump and tear, you know, take action
against ice officers, and they simply don't want immigration of force.
When I got news for him, we're going to do it.
We're doing today. We're going to do it tomorrow. We're
(02:19):
going to do it every day.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Nancy Pelosi was claiming women and children are being arrested
and detained. A lot of people are saying that, I
don't know that's what she says. And she was just
out on social media. It was just all over you know,
television and radio, and this is what is going on,
is that they just keep screaming women and children.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well sor there's sanctuary city. And I will say this
many many times. If we can't arrest a bad guy
in the county jail because the sanctuary laws, it means
we got to go in the community and find them
either the community or works like and we find the
bad guy many times with others others in the country leegually, well,
guess what they're coming to. You want to forcing the community.
That's what you get at sanctuary citizen going to get
(03:03):
executive what they don't want, more agency and communities and
more work law enforcements. But on top of the criminal operations,
we are looking for people with flying orders, people who
verde process at great tax fair expense, have been order
to remove by a judge. Is one point four million
in the country. We're looking for those two. We're enforcing
the immigration laws. We're stepping up enforcing it because the
(03:24):
last four years of open borders were over ten million
people across the boarder illegally releasing this country up proper betting.
We're finding them. We're doing the American people voters for
president come to do, and we're not going to apologize
for doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So primary target is criminals. Primary target is people who
overstayed their visas or were denied asylum and haven't left
the country and they got told by a judge to
get out and they didn't get out. That is primarily
what you're doing. Yes, sir, how long is this going
to go on in Los Angeles? Because I'm sure we
have well over a million illegal aliens in LA County.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Today.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Is this like a long term that you're going We did.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Look, we came out, I came off Wednesday. They kicked
office operating. We did a surge operation on Friday. Not
every day is the surge operation, but ice where their
partners d A, FBI, US marshals, UH and UH other
other other DOJ law enforced entities. We partnered across the country.
(04:24):
We're going to be on the streets every single day, uh,
and look for the streets for that. And we're not
and we shall continue. We're out there today, we'll be
out there tomorrow. We'll be out there every single day
in l A and every other city throughout the nation.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
What was the role of the National Guard over the weekend, Well.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
After two days of violence, the President Trump UH brought
the National Guard in. I'm glad he did.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But what do they do.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Everybody's back and they're here to protect property and protect
the life. They're here to protect federal property and here
to protect our officers and the our public. That's true.
They're not enforced immigration law. They're not all on immigration warrants.
They're sent here to protect property and protect life.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
They're protecting that correctional center downtown which was the site
of a lot of yes, a lot of rioting, all right,
So they're not they're not joining your immigration agents or
homeland security agents.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Immigration authority, Yeah, they don't have immigration authority. They're there,
they're the right support and their main focus is protection
and property and life. They're they're they're surrounding our federal facilities.
They're trying to prevent and further damage to feederal property
and also they're protect our officers. Know the first night
here they have a thousand protesters surrounding our building, breaching
into the federal building, putting off to that risk, putting
(05:45):
they are arrested. Who had and CUSSI at risk? I'm glad, President,
come call and they've been. They've been in real help.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And are the Marines coming to There's a lot of
rumors around on about that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I think there's a cabinet meaning to you discuss that.
I'm out of the loop on that. I'm uh, that's
not decision I make of the decision that president makes.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Who's in charge of deciding what the National Guard does,
what the Marines might do? Your agencies and your officers like,
who's is there a coordinator for all this? Or are
you the coordinator?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
No, there's there's a coordination cell. We had a command
center here. You got the you got a command for
the National Guard sitting at the table. We got the
ICE acting ICE structure sitting at that table. I'm at
the table. You know you got da head here, you
got FBI head. The entire leadership of this operation. We
meet three times to the command center, and in the
(06:38):
time we're not meeting well, you're to enforce our men
and women, and I'm on targeting and where to go
and what to do. But now there's a current center.
I'm I'm money there at my matter of fact for
the second meeting of the day. So it's it's an
all a government effort.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Is there any amount of resistance that might cause your
side to say this is not worth it? Right now.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We were We're alling force the law. We're not left
protesters both who choose to become criminals by throwing molotov
cocktails and burning cars and throwing stuff at our officers
falling injury. They're out to chase us away. We're going
to be here every day. We're gonna keep doing what
we're doing, and we're going to keep our promised American people,
going enforce the immigration law. It's going to secure the
body mostly we have the most secure border in the
(07:24):
history of the station. Right now, we'll go finish the
job be started, and we're not running away. They can
protest all they want. I'm not running a popularity contest.
I'm here to try to make these communities safer every
day by removing theegal aliens who are public safety threat
to We're not points to stop tailing that.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You have said publicly that if anybody, including public officials,
interfere with the detainment of the legal aliens or they're
harboring the legal aliens in any way, that they could
be subject to arrest. And Newsom said, he's a tough
guy talking about you. Why doesn't he do that? He
knows where to find me. I don't give a damn
(08:00):
come getting.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Book well, and and I stand by worriors if he
crosses that line, and and and it commits a crime
of impediment normally harbor concealing ill alien or or you know,
any other across the line where he actually commits a crime,
and it's it's a crime, it's a it's a felony
(08:22):
to impede ice, it's a felony to normally harvard can
seal alliens across that line. I'll simply ask the Attorney
General of the United States and investigating seek prosecution.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
What could he do?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
What he could The same people, these are the same
people that said President Trump was what wasn't above all
the last four years? Well either are they?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And you're talking about him physically impeding the detainment of
an illegal alien or is there something with the policies
or the people that he directs.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Look, I don't, I don't think. I don't. I do
not think he's cross that line yet. I said that
during my interview that everybody's blown out of proportion. I
don't have the present line yet. I just said when
I was asked what would politicians be subjects to prosecutor?
I said, they don't different anybody else. Well, I just
said about cross the line and committed crime, that means everybody,
even politicians. I mean, no one's above the law. Right,
So I made that statement, and God and just wants
(09:10):
to take out a contest, take out of context. But
if he crosses that line and commits a crime, will
as a Journey General to prosecute like we would anybody else.
No one's above the law in this country.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What's the role of LAPD. Obviously they were heavily involved
last night trying to fight off the rioters and the protesters.
Is there any coordination when it comes to safety issues
between your agencies and LAPD.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, we got different roles LAPD. They did a fantastic
job last night. Their job is on public safety and
respond to chaos and unlawful gatherings like the r was
last night, and were responsible for enforcing immigration law or
a national guide to protect property and protect your officers
in public public safety. But when it comes to you know,
(09:56):
law enforcement within the city limits and the protesters will
become criminals by you know, burning cars and assaulting and
damaging property. Uh l A p D. That's your role.
I'm glad they're out there.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Do you think there's organizations financing the resistance? They've been
preparing for this for a long time. Uh, And because
I mean there are people showing up with backpacks full
of concrete and rocks to throw off the one on
one overpasses down at L A p D cars down
below and throwing them at the officers. It seemed like
there was a fair amount of premeditation and they were
ready for the battle yesterday.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I think there is and that's being investigated right now generally,
and when we have our leadership meeting every day ATDIS
I got the lead on identifying along with IRS, identifying
on who's who's uh, who's funding it? Because anybody, I
believe we're going to find some people who's funding it,
who's and and they'll be held accountable too. So that's
under investigation as received.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So for people who are worried about their their nannies,
their their gardeners, their housekeepers, that somehow ICE is coming
to the door and people are going to be dragged
out of suburban homes. That's not part of the plan.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I've said from day one. If you're in the country legally,
you're not off the table. They're not a priority right now.
But it's not okay to be in this country illegally.
It's not okade across the border illegally is a crime.
So if you're in the country illegally, go to the
CBP home app, make put your arrangements in order to
work with ICE when we get your home. We'll pay
a thousand dollars when you land, and make yourself available
to come under legal program. Come back on the Desert's visa, tourist,
(11:31):
visa works or work visa. Be the opportunities over for you.
But it's not okay to be in this country illegally.
We will prioritize the worse first. But if you're in
a country weekly you got a problem, you got to
make it right.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
How many how many criminals who have been actually arrested convicted,
got released from jail, and they're still wandering around. How
many of them are here in the general LA area,
LA County, Orange County.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I don't have the LA numbers broken down and say,
last time I look, we got about six hundred illegal
aliens for some sort of criminal conviction of walkson history
of this country. I don't have that broken down here
in LA because the targeting changes every day. But there's
six hundred thousand in this country illegal aliens for criminal
convictions that we're looking for.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well, since we're twelve percent of the population and we
have a preponderance of illegal aliens in LA, then I
guess our percentage that.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Your pair of share. You've got your par of share
here your target rich environment.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Right, So you've got you've got you've got a lot
of criminals, and you've got to people, people who overstated
their visas, people who got denied asylum. You've got plenty
of people to get through first that are on the
top priority list.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh, we are to say we'll prioritize every time we
get a leader on a criminal we've go off to
them first.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Absolutely, is anybody getting under your skin, either in the
media or among the politicians, well.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Pabably, you know, the Democrat politicians. They don't get on
their skin, but it's just terrible. It's whether drive via
villa villafying and men and women of Vice for simply
enforcing laws and acted, I mean they call them the
Comparing ICE to Nazis and comparing ICE to terrorists is
just ridiculous. For the people who enforce the law, they're
(13:09):
the bad guys. And the ones who violate, well, they're
they're the victims. It's just ridiculous. Ice is out there
every single day trying to make this country safer. And
for members of Congress or anybody else to attacking the
villa finals is disgusting. So you know, and and the
rhetoric is out of control, and that's why the violence
is uptick here in La. You know, you got members
(13:29):
of Congress and ICE are Nazis and and and there,
and and they're you know, they're they're terrorists. So that
gives somebody in the public's okay, well Congress is going
to attack them, so can I. The rhetoric needs to
be tapped down. These men and women of ICE aren't
making this up. They're enforcing them. The law right, a
law enacted by Congress. You you're mad about the laws
ICE is enforcing. Go quotes vote est Congress. And and
(13:52):
when ICE is out to looking for somebody with a
final word, you have an immigration jetge in order to
remove ices jobs excoo those orders. So you know, ICE
don't doing their job, and it's just terrible. They didn't
want to, you know, vilify these men and women I say,
just being docks or families being docked, death threats or
through the ceiling fam these men and women they want
to yell about them wear a masks or they wear
a mask if I protect themselves and their families from
(14:14):
all these serious threats are gearing. I myself, I know
that about over a thousand protesters show up my house.
I got numerous death threats. I don't wear masks on
the forest are but I knows who I am. But
the men and women I don't deserve the hate, the
take care, especially from elected government officials.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Tom Holman, thank you very much for coming on, and
I hope we can talk again soon. All right, Tom Holman,
he's in charge of immigration enforcement, not only that at
the border, but in the interior, and certainly this weekend
here in Los Angeles. It's day number four and just
looking at the various TV screens, it's starting up again.
(14:49):
There's a lot of people in the streets of downtown
Los Angeles and I see smoke drifting around the crowds,
and h I know the roads closed. We're gonna have
a traffic report in just a moment. What should we
do next here? Just okay, let's do the news debor
Mark Laden KFI twenty for our newsroom.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
John Cobelt Show. We just had Tom Holman on and
he is in charge of immigration enforcement here in the
United States, both at the border and in the interior.
And he's been in Los Angeles now for a number
of days, and we'll continue to be here. They have arrested,
from what I've seen, at least one hundred and fifty people,
and that's a total number of arrests. I don't know
(15:38):
how many of those for immigration, how many of those
for rioting there. Okay, I got to say this because
I only have a couple of minutes, and I want
to dig back into the meat of what Holman was
talking about. After Debor's News, but Homan had had some time,
so we were able to do an extra long segment.
I found the news coverage, and I'm going to try
to be kind here, the TV coverage over the weekend
(16:01):
to be atrocious, absolutely positively atrocious. Two of the big
stories was two of the triggers a fashion district that
caused a big uproar in downtown LA. And didn't know
until this morning that the reason for that is it
(16:25):
was an ICE investigation. There was an eighty million dollar
business fraud that had been going on, they say at
this particular fashion where fashion factory, and there was millions
of dollars in taxes that had been unpaid. And that's
why ICE showed up in the process. Many of the
(16:45):
employees are illegal, and everybody should know that if ICE
shows up, even if they don't intend to. Even the
intention of the raid was not to go after employees,
but was to go after the business owners. If the
employees you're there, their obligation is to round them up
and take them. That's what the law is. And as
(17:08):
Homan said at the end, if you don't like that,
then have the law changed. And we have not lived
in an area where the law has been enforced. I
don't know what is it. Probably about twenty years here
in Los Angeles. In the last twenty years, you haven't
seen laws enforced publicly, have you. Certainly in the last
(17:32):
ten years since Garcetti took over, laws were never enforced.
People could steal at will from stars, people could vandalize
at will, bust into private homes, squat in private homes,
live out on the streets, take drugs in the streets.
(17:52):
We saw during the George Floyd episode you could riot
in the streets and you'd have the police chief and
the Neil in front of the rioters. They actually, I
you know, grew up in Catholic school. You genuflect in
Catholic school. In church, it's indicating that you feel subservient
(18:15):
and obedient to God. So that's what hit me when
I saw Garcetti and Michael Moore genuflect Neil. They were
subservient to these BLM protesters who were breaking the law.
So much law breaking has gone on in plain sight
that when somebody tries to enforce the law, people have
(18:38):
heart attacks. They can't believe. It's like, what is this.
Almost everything done this weekend was simply enforcing law that's
been on the books for decades and decades. We'll talk
more about it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
John Cobelt's Show on demand after four o'clock. That's the
podcast versions, so you can hear what you missed and
if you're just joining us, what you missed is we
had about a twenty minute interview with Tom Holman, the
who's in charge of immigration enforcement for the Trump administration,
and we talked with him in the first half hour.
You could hear it. It's the first segment on the
podcast being posted after four o'clock. Now, follow up on
(19:21):
what we were discussing right before Debra's news. What is
embedded in everyone's psyche here in Los Angeles, especially over
the last twenty years, is laws are not enforced. And
let's quickly go through the list, and I'm right on
all of these, and you know this, laws against theft
(19:41):
not enforced. We all thought with our own own eyes,
people stealing things at the CBS, at the seven eleven,
at Target, any store that sold items that you could
carry in your arms or you could whisk them all
away in a shopping cart as long as under one
thousand dollars in total value, you couldn't be charged. And
(20:06):
you could do that every day, and some guys did.
And everybody has seen that. Okay, so clearly laws not
enforced in that case. What else not enforced? Can't sleep
on the streets, can't sleep in the park, can't live
in a public place? They did for ten years, people
are still doing it. Laws not enforced. People not only
using drugs in public, but selling drugs in public, selling
(20:30):
guns out of tents in front of schools. Unheard of
things when we were growing up, commonplace in Los Angeles,
specifically in Nythia Rahman's district, and she didn't care. All
kinds of stuff not enforced. How many times have we
had protests, not just over immigration, but any kind of
(20:52):
cockamami issue. They get to shut down the one on one,
They get to shut down major boulevards in downtown in LA.
They get to do whatever they want want. LAPD does nothing.
You have a freedom of speech, a freedom to assemble,
but only within certain parameters. You're supposed to get a permit.
The city will say, okay, you could protest here at
(21:14):
this time, but you can't block rush hour traffic. That's
against the law. Well, it's not enforced. Just like theft
wasn't enforced, just like public drug use wasn't enforced. Just
like people were smashing grab robberies for a couple of
years that wasn't enforced. You have squatters inhabiting private homes
(21:35):
that wasn't enforced. Nothing was enforced. Instead, what they were
doing was letting out thousands and thousands of criminals from
the prisons in jails, not prosecuting thousands. Kevin Newsom, they
finally calculated the crime rate in California went up thirty
one percent believes governor still is governor thirty one percent.
(22:00):
So when you have an entire generation raised on the
idea that laws aren't enforced, not a big shock that
you see a lot of young people in the streets
now they can't believe that Tom Homan and Trump is
directing Ice and Homeland Security and the National Guard and
maybe the Marines to enforce the law. And the best
thing Homan said is change the law if you don't
(22:23):
like it. It's in black and white. It was passed
by Congress, powers were given to the president. All that
you're seeing has been done for decades, but because specifically
the last four years Biden and those progressives intentionally let
(22:45):
the border fly open, and the place went to hell,
especially here in California. Well, when you don't see laws enforced,
you forget what it even looks like, and it offends everybody.
People upset. It seems like after getting their asses whipped
bloody in the election, all the progressives still hadn't figured
(23:06):
it out. I saw two polls over the weekend, but
big majorities for Trump on this. Yeah, they want people deported. Yes,
in fact, there's a fair number of people who want
everybody to ported, or they're neutral on it. He's not
gonna suffer any political blowback from this. If anything, Trump
(23:29):
is going to get more popular because who's his competitor here,
the silly, foolish Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom created this situation.
He gives free healthcare to all the people you see
protesting in the streets, waving Mexican flags, walking around with
(23:54):
backpacks filled with concrete, going to the one on one
overpass and dropping the concrete and rocks on the police
cars down below on LAPD cars. I saw it with
my own eyes last night, and then I hear. I
saw in the New York Times this morning, mostly peaceful
protests in Los Angeles. They actually wrote that line, don't
(24:15):
they know that's a joke line, That's a gagline. Not
mostly peaceful. I saw five waymos on fire with my
own eyes watching on TV. By the way, that didn't
bother me. I hate waymos.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Yeah, but you wouldn't. You wouldn't you wouldn't want to
be in one No on fire.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well that's the beauty offul weymo. Nobody's in there now
did the did the protesters actually summon a weemo to
come pick an imaginary person up?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
No idea? Or they were just I think they were
just they were doing their jobs. They were just sitting downtown.
They're not in downtown LA today.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
No, no, no has's gone home. Yeah, that's bad night
for old Weamo. Those things burn forever. Yeah, the electric cars,
that's not good for the answer.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Letting them burn out, they're going to be sniffing.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That was just a minor, little minor, a little bit
of entertainment for me, that's all to see the way
Mow's on fire. They bug that, let me, but it
was still wrong. I want to make thinking okay, still
against the law. Okay, but I laughed at the same time. Anyway,
Newsom has created the situation. He's given twelve billion dollars
in the last year to illegal alien healthcare. That's why
(25:30):
we've attracted so many. You have a idiot, idiot, idiot
of a governor who gives away twelve billion dollars of
my tax money, your tax money, everybody's tax money for
illegal aliens. So we end up with a million, two million,
who the hell knows? And then when Trump and Homan
come in and say, well, some of you people are
(25:51):
going to go now, all hell breaks loose. Hey, I
give up these benefits. They got a good deal. You know,
how many healthcare for the rest of your life. You
start having family members and you bring them more of
them over here, and they all get healthcare for the
rest of their life. He bashed too. Bass has enforced
(26:16):
no laws nothing. In fact, much of the law breaking
in this city. Bass enables. How many billions were stolen
by her Inside Safe program and all the other homeless programs.
How many billions of dollars did new them and his
crony steel twenty four billion dollars? How about seventeen billion
(26:38):
that Newsom in high speed rail. That's death too. How
about the fifty billion that Newsom and the cyber fraudsters
stole from the Unemployment Agency. I mean, there's probably one
hundred billion dollars stolen collectively, just in all the categories
I just mentioned. They engage in massive theft every day.
(27:02):
Bass and Newsome. Then they create policies where we give
away tens of billions to illegal alience. So of course
they're outraged when Trump and Home Income and enforce the law.
Go ahead, Newson, this is great. You go run for president.
Let this be number one on your agenda. Let's get
(27:25):
rid of the border, and let's get rid of all
immigration enforcement. Let's abolish ice. Why don't you run on that.
Trump and Homan are going to win. You could file
all the lawsuits you want. They're going to win and
their right and a majority of the publics behind them.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
In case you missed it, we talked with Tom Homan,
who's in charge of immigration enforcement for the Trump administration.
He was on the air with us for about twenty minutes,
and after four o'clock you could hear that interview. Exclusive
interview on the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand coming
up just after two o'clock. Another major figure in this
(28:12):
sudden battle that we're having with these immigration activists. We're
going to talk with Bill Asali. He's Trump's new US
attorney for the Los Angeles area, the Central District they
call it, which encompasses many counties, La County and the
surrounding ones. And he's going to come on with us
as well. One of the other figures in the news
(28:36):
is David Huerta, and David Huerta is president of the
Service Employees International Union California. You may have seen this
guy occasionally in news stories, major union official, fifty eight
years old, and he showed up to block an immigration
(29:02):
raid in downtown LA and bad things happened because now
he's facing a felony charge of impeding a federal immigration
action and he could face six years in prison. He
(29:25):
was detained and injured. He was quote documenting a workplace
immigration raid.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Another guy holding up a camera. By the way, so
many people out in the streets look stupid walking around
holding up a camera. You have a dozen live television
cameras on a dozen different stations. You got hundreds of
other people holding up their cameras. It's just so, it's
(29:52):
just so silly, and everybody does exactly the same thing.
And I'm looking at these people and I'm wondering how
many of these people are illegal here. I'm guessing the
ones waving the Mexican flags. That's a sure thing. Anyway,
Uh Huerta. There was a photo that Assaily posted with
(30:12):
his hands behind his back. They said he obstructed access
of federal authorities to where they were conducting a search warrant.
That's another unreported story. There were a lot of unreported
stories over the weekend, and I'm going to go through
them all eventually. But a judge named Marco Margo Racconi,
(30:34):
US magistrate. She authorized search warrants Thursday for four business
locations Suspective suspected of unlawfully employing illegal aliens and falsifying
employment records related to the status of its employees. So
it was a federal judge issued a warrant. Ice had
(30:55):
the job of executing the warrant. David Hirta, the union leader,
is standing in the way obstructing, so he's been arrested.
And I hope he gets six years in prison. The
media all day long yesterday and I consumed way too
much of this. Not what I wanted to do on
(31:17):
a Sunday, but I'm trying to find out, well, where
did this start? Why did this start? And it turns out,
as Tom Holman explained, and I didn't read about that
until this morning, this was a fashion business that I
think Bill Saleya talked more about this. This was a
fashion business that had some kind of racket going on.
(31:40):
They were under reporting, they weren't paying their taxes. It
wasn't designed as a workplace raide. Now, when you go
into a business like that, if there are legal aliens working,
they'll get arrested or detained. By the way, these places
are also abusing employees, making them work very long hours
(32:01):
for very little pay. Again, they were the business was
breaking the law, ice enforcing the law. This is what
God get with the excuse for the activists to go crazy,
and they were looking for something to go crazy once
they heard that Trump potentially is sending the National Guard.
(32:24):
And I'm thinking, well, what wouldn't he send the national Guard?
Because last night I saw with my own eyes, we're
going to play the audio next hour, Jim McDonald, the
LAPD chief, is saying that LAPD officers were overwhelmed last night. Overwhelmed,
that's his word. Well, if the LAPD is overwhelmed, who
(32:46):
are we going to turn to? Because Karen Bass and
Gavin Newsom made this a sanctuary state, a sanctuary city.
These illegal aliens, mostly young guys. I like how we're told, Oh,
it's just hard working. They're not working hard. They're destroying things, vandalizing.
(33:11):
They busted up many police cars on the one oh one. Like,
maybe they are working hard. Sure, maybe their parents were
working hard. Those parents raised bad guys. There's a lot
of bad parenting maybe among the hard working immigrants, these
people who are out of control, and they're therefoot by
the thousands, and they're waving Mexican flags. Exactly who am
(33:34):
I supposed to feel sorry for here? I didn't see
a thousand housekeepers in the street. I didn't see a
thousand nannies. I saw a thousand young thugs in the street,
and I'm paying for their health care. And I got
Karen Vass and Gavin Newsom telling me that everything I'm
(33:55):
looking at is wrong. I got some TV news casters
telling me. What I'm looking at is wrong? The hell's
going on here?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
What Homan was doing? The Ice, Homeland Security, the cops,
they're doing the right thing. The fashion company was breaking
the law, Homeland Homeland Security and ICE was enforcing the law.
Same thing in the streets. The cops are taking rocks
(34:27):
to their skulls. What's wrong with everybody? What did this happen?
Our Bill of Saley's coming on next debor Mark Live
in the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been
listening to The John Cobalt 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.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio apps. Welcome to people all over
the country and beyond who got notifications today about the
appearance of Tom Holman, who's coming up in just seconds.
Tom Holman is in charge of immigration enforcement for the
Trump administration, both at the border and in the interior,
(00:21):
and he's been directing a lot of the operations along
with Homeland Security. And we're the center of the world
right now because of all the raids that have gone
on and the demonstrations and then the violence since Friday.
And we're going to get right to Tom Holman now. Tom. Welcome,
Thanks for Travis. We'll start off with what seemed to
(00:45):
trigger the whole weekend was in Paramount. There were claims
that are radio.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
You know what triggered it was, which isn't getting out,
is that ICE served some criminal warrants on businesses in
the Garment district. It was a part of a bigger
criminal conspiracy investigation involving money laundering, tax evasion, and the
customs shraw where one of the companies failed to declare
(01:16):
over eighty million dollars in imports and failed to pay
seventy million dollars in tax tariffs, and it was a
criminal discause we starved a criminal warrant. And while we
started that criminal warrant, wearrested about forty lands and we
had other operations going on in the city at the
same time. But whether they showed down down there at
the garment district and started the protests and the tax
(01:36):
on officers, we're sort of criminal warrants. And for the
last few days were continualized operations. We arrested out of
public safety throughout to Offer Street. We asked the murderer,
We arrested several child predators, checked us child sex predators.
We arrested a rapists, we arrested someone that committed our robbery.
We just we took out a lot of We addressed
(01:57):
the Vietnamese national who murdered too young pead teenagers at
a graduation party. We made Los Angeles safer. And people,
you know, don't want to hear that. They just want
to you know, dump and tear, you know, take action
against ice officers, and they simply don't want immigration of force.
When I got news for him, we're going to do it.
We're doing today. We're going to do it tomorrow. We're
(02:19):
going to do it every day.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Nancy Pelosi was claiming women and children are being arrested
and detained. A lot of people are saying that, I
don't know that's what she says. And she was just
out on social media. It was just all over you know,
television and radio, and this is what is going on,
is that they just keep screaming women and children.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Well sor there's sanctuary city. And I will say this
many many times. If we can't arrest a bad guy
in the county jail because the sanctuary laws, it means
we got to go in the community and find them
either the community or works like and we find the
bad guy many times with others others in the country leegually, well,
guess what they're coming to. You want to forcing the community.
That's what you get at sanctuary citizen going to get
(03:03):
executive what they don't want, more agency and communities and
more work law enforcements. But on top of the criminal operations,
we are looking for people with flying orders, people who
verde process at great tax fair expense, have been order
to remove by a judge. Is one point four million
in the country. We're looking for those two. We're enforcing
the immigration laws. We're stepping up enforcing it because the
(03:24):
last four years of open borders were over ten million
people across the boarder illegally releasing this country up proper betting.
We're finding them. We're doing the American people voters for
president come to do, and we're not going to apologize
for doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
So primary target is criminals. Primary target is people who
overstayed their visas or were denied asylum and haven't left
the country and they got told by a judge to
get out and they didn't get out. That is primarily
what you're doing. Yes, sir, how long is this going
to go on in Los Angeles? Because I'm sure we
have well over a million illegal aliens in LA County.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Today.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Is this like a long term that you're going We did.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Look, we came out, I came off Wednesday. They kicked
office operating. We did a surge operation on Friday. Not
every day is the surge operation, but ice where their
partners d A, FBI, US marshals, UH and UH other
other other DOJ law enforced entities. We partnered across the country.
(04:24):
We're going to be on the streets every single day, uh,
and look for the streets for that. And we're not
and we shall continue. We're out there today, we'll be
out there tomorrow. We'll be out there every single day
in l A and every other city throughout the nation.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
What was the role of the National Guard over the weekend, Well.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
After two days of violence, the President Trump UH brought
the National Guard in. I'm glad he did.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But what do they do.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Everybody's back and they're here to protect property and protect
the life. They're here to protect federal property and here
to protect our officers and the our public. That's true.
They're not enforced immigration law. They're not all on immigration warrants.
They're sent here to protect property and protect life.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
They're protecting that correctional center downtown which was the site
of a lot of yes, a lot of rioting, all right,
So they're not they're not joining your immigration agents or
homeland security agents.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Immigration authority, Yeah, they don't have immigration authority. They're there,
they're the right support and their main focus is protection
and property and life. They're they're they're surrounding our federal facilities.
They're trying to prevent and further damage to feederal property
and also they're protect our officers. Know the first night
here they have a thousand protesters surrounding our building, breaching
into the federal building, putting off to that risk, putting
(05:45):
they are arrested. Who had and CUSSI at risk? I'm glad, President,
come call and they've been. They've been in real help.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
And are the Marines coming to There's a lot of
rumors around on about that.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
I think there's a cabinet meaning to you discuss that.
I'm out of the loop on that. I'm uh, that's
not decision I make of the decision that president makes.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Who's in charge of deciding what the National Guard does,
what the Marines might do? Your agencies and your officers like,
who's is there a coordinator for all this? Or are
you the coordinator?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
No, there's there's a coordination cell. We had a command
center here. You got the you got a command for
the National Guard sitting at the table. We got the
ICE acting ICE structure sitting at that table. I'm at
the table. You know you got da head here, you
got FBI head. The entire leadership of this operation. We
meet three times to the command center, and in the
(06:38):
time we're not meeting well, you're to enforce our men
and women, and I'm on targeting and where to go
and what to do. But now there's a current center.
I'm I'm money there at my matter of fact for
the second meeting of the day. So it's it's an
all a government effort.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Is there any amount of resistance that might cause your
side to say this is not worth it? Right now.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We were We're alling force the law. We're not left
protesters both who choose to become criminals by throwing molotov
cocktails and burning cars and throwing stuff at our officers
falling injury. They're out to chase us away. We're going
to be here every day. We're gonna keep doing what
we're doing, and we're going to keep our promised American people,
going enforce the immigration law. It's going to secure the
body mostly we have the most secure border in the
(07:24):
history of the station. Right now, we'll go finish the
job be started, and we're not running away. They can
protest all they want. I'm not running a popularity contest.
I'm here to try to make these communities safer every
day by removing theegal aliens who are public safety threat
to We're not points to stop tailing that.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
You have said publicly that if anybody, including public officials,
interfere with the detainment of the legal aliens or they're
harboring the legal aliens in any way, that they could
be subject to arrest. And Newsom said, he's a tough
guy talking about you. Why doesn't he do that? He
knows where to find me. I don't give a damn
(08:00):
come getting.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Book well, and and I stand by worriors if he
crosses that line, and and and it commits a crime
of impediment normally harbor concealing ill alien or or you know,
any other across the line where he actually commits a crime,
and it's it's a crime, it's a it's a felony
(08:22):
to impede ice, it's a felony to normally harvard can
seal alliens across that line. I'll simply ask the Attorney
General of the United States and investigating seek prosecution.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
What could he do?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
What he could The same people, these are the same
people that said President Trump was what wasn't above all
the last four years? Well either are they?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
And you're talking about him physically impeding the detainment of
an illegal alien or is there something with the policies
or the people that he directs.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Look, I don't, I don't think. I don't. I do
not think he's cross that line yet. I said that
during my interview that everybody's blown out of proportion. I
don't have the present line yet. I just said when
I was asked what would politicians be subjects to prosecutor?
I said, they don't different anybody else. Well, I just
said about cross the line and committed crime, that means everybody,
even politicians. I mean, no one's above the law. Right,
So I made that statement, and God and just wants
(09:10):
to take out a contest, take out of context. But
if he crosses that line and commits a crime, will
as a Journey General to prosecute like we would anybody else.
No one's above the law in this country.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What's the role of LAPD. Obviously they were heavily involved
last night trying to fight off the rioters and the protesters.
Is there any coordination when it comes to safety issues
between your agencies and LAPD.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah, we got different roles LAPD. They did a fantastic
job last night. Their job is on public safety and
respond to chaos and unlawful gatherings like the r was
last night, and were responsible for enforcing immigration law or
a national guide to protect property and protect your officers
in public public safety. But when it comes to you know,
(09:56):
law enforcement within the city limits and the protesters will
become criminals by you know, burning cars and assaulting and
damaging property. Uh l A p D. That's your role.
I'm glad they're out there.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Do you think there's organizations financing the resistance? They've been
preparing for this for a long time. Uh, And because
I mean there are people showing up with backpacks full
of concrete and rocks to throw off the one on
one overpasses down at L A p D cars down
below and throwing them at the officers. It seemed like
there was a fair amount of premeditation and they were
ready for the battle yesterday.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
I think there is and that's being investigated right now generally,
and when we have our leadership meeting every day ATDIS
I got the lead on identifying along with IRS, identifying
on who's who's uh, who's funding it? Because anybody, I
believe we're going to find some people who's funding it,
who's and and they'll be held accountable too. So that's
under investigation as received.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So for people who are worried about their their nannies,
their their gardeners, their housekeepers, that somehow ICE is coming
to the door and people are going to be dragged
out of suburban homes. That's not part of the plan.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I've said from day one. If you're in the country legally,
you're not off the table. They're not a priority right now.
But it's not okay to be in this country illegally.
It's not okade across the border illegally is a crime.
So if you're in the country illegally, go to the
CBP home app, make put your arrangements in order to
work with ICE when we get your home. We'll pay
a thousand dollars when you land, and make yourself available
to come under legal program. Come back on the Desert's visa, tourist,
(11:31):
visa works or work visa. Be the opportunities over for you.
But it's not okay to be in this country illegally.
We will prioritize the worse first. But if you're in
a country weekly you got a problem, you got to
make it right.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
How many how many criminals who have been actually arrested convicted,
got released from jail, and they're still wandering around. How
many of them are here in the general LA area,
LA County, Orange County.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
I don't have the LA numbers broken down and say,
last time I look, we got about six hundred illegal
aliens for some sort of criminal conviction of walkson history
of this country. I don't have that broken down here
in LA because the targeting changes every day. But there's
six hundred thousand in this country illegal aliens for criminal
convictions that we're looking for.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Well, since we're twelve percent of the population and we
have a preponderance of illegal aliens in LA, then I
guess our percentage that.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Your pair of share. You've got your par of share
here your target rich environment.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Right, So you've got you've got you've got a lot
of criminals, and you've got to people, people who overstated
their visas, people who got denied asylum. You've got plenty
of people to get through first that are on the
top priority list.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh, we are to say we'll prioritize every time we
get a leader on a criminal we've go off to
them first.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Absolutely, is anybody getting under your skin, either in the
media or among the politicians, well.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Pabably, you know, the Democrat politicians. They don't get on
their skin, but it's just terrible. It's whether drive via
villa villafying and men and women of Vice for simply
enforcing laws and acted, I mean they call them the
Comparing ICE to Nazis and comparing ICE to terrorists is
just ridiculous. For the people who enforce the law, they're
(13:09):
the bad guys. And the ones who violate, well, they're
they're the victims. It's just ridiculous. Ice is out there
every single day trying to make this country safer. And
for members of Congress or anybody else to attacking the
villa finals is disgusting. So you know, and and the
rhetoric is out of control, and that's why the violence
is uptick here in La. You know, you got members
(13:29):
of Congress and ICE are Nazis and and and there,
and and they're you know, they're they're terrorists. So that
gives somebody in the public's okay, well Congress is going
to attack them, so can I. The rhetoric needs to
be tapped down. These men and women of ICE aren't
making this up. They're enforcing them. The law right, a
law enacted by Congress. You you're mad about the laws
ICE is enforcing. Go quotes vote est Congress. And and
(13:52):
when ICE is out to looking for somebody with a
final word, you have an immigration jetge in order to
remove ices jobs excoo those orders. So you know, ICE
don't doing their job, and it's just terrible. They didn't
want to, you know, vilify these men and women I say,
just being docks or families being docked, death threats or
through the ceiling fam these men and women they want
to yell about them wear a masks or they wear
a mask if I protect themselves and their families from
(14:14):
all these serious threats are gearing. I myself, I know
that about over a thousand protesters show up my house.
I got numerous death threats. I don't wear masks on
the forest are but I knows who I am. But
the men and women I don't deserve the hate, the
take care, especially from elected government officials.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Tom Holman, thank you very much for coming on, and
I hope we can talk again soon. All right, Tom Holman,
he's in charge of immigration enforcement, not only that at
the border, but in the interior, and certainly this weekend
here in Los Angeles. It's day number four and just
looking at the various TV screens, it's starting up again.
(14:49):
There's a lot of people in the streets of downtown
Los Angeles and I see smoke drifting around the crowds,
and h I know the roads closed. We're gonna have
a traffic report in just a moment. What should we
do next here? Just okay, let's do the news debor
Mark Laden KFI twenty for our newsroom.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
John Cobelt Show. We just had Tom Holman on and
he is in charge of immigration enforcement here in the
United States, both at the border and in the interior.
And he's been in Los Angeles now for a number
of days, and we'll continue to be here. They have arrested,
from what I've seen, at least one hundred and fifty people,
and that's a total number of arrests. I don't know
(15:38):
how many of those for immigration, how many of those
for rioting there. Okay, I got to say this because
I only have a couple of minutes, and I want
to dig back into the meat of what Holman was
talking about. After Debor's News, but Homan had had some time,
so we were able to do an extra long segment.
I found the news coverage, and I'm going to try
to be kind here, the TV coverage over the weekend
(16:01):
to be atrocious, absolutely positively atrocious. Two of the big
stories was two of the triggers a fashion district that
caused a big uproar in downtown LA. And didn't know
until this morning that the reason for that is it
(16:25):
was an ICE investigation. There was an eighty million dollar
business fraud that had been going on, they say at
this particular fashion where fashion factory, and there was millions
of dollars in taxes that had been unpaid. And that's
why ICE showed up in the process. Many of the
(16:45):
employees are illegal, and everybody should know that if ICE
shows up, even if they don't intend to. Even the
intention of the raid was not to go after employees,
but was to go after the business owners. If the
employees you're there, their obligation is to round them up
and take them. That's what the law is. And as
(17:08):
Homan said at the end, if you don't like that,
then have the law changed. And we have not lived
in an area where the law has been enforced. I
don't know what is it. Probably about twenty years here
in Los Angeles. In the last twenty years, you haven't
seen laws enforced publicly, have you. Certainly in the last
(17:32):
ten years since Garcetti took over, laws were never enforced.
People could steal at will from stars, people could vandalize
at will, bust into private homes, squat in private homes,
live out on the streets, take drugs in the streets.
(17:52):
We saw during the George Floyd episode you could riot
in the streets and you'd have the police chief and
the Neil in front of the rioters. They actually, I
you know, grew up in Catholic school. You genuflect in
Catholic school. In church, it's indicating that you feel subservient
(18:15):
and obedient to God. So that's what hit me when
I saw Garcetti and Michael Moore genuflect Neil. They were
subservient to these BLM protesters who were breaking the law.
So much law breaking has gone on in plain sight
that when somebody tries to enforce the law, people have
(18:38):
heart attacks. They can't believe. It's like, what is this.
Almost everything done this weekend was simply enforcing law that's
been on the books for decades and decades. We'll talk
more about it.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
John Cobelt's Show on demand after four o'clock. That's the
podcast versions, so you can hear what you missed and
if you're just joining us, what you missed is we
had about a twenty minute interview with Tom Holman, the
who's in charge of immigration enforcement for the Trump administration,
and we talked with him in the first half hour.
You could hear it. It's the first segment on the
podcast being posted after four o'clock. Now, follow up on
(19:21):
what we were discussing right before Debra's news. What is
embedded in everyone's psyche here in Los Angeles, especially over
the last twenty years, is laws are not enforced. And
let's quickly go through the list, and I'm right on
all of these, and you know this, laws against theft
(19:41):
not enforced. We all thought with our own own eyes,
people stealing things at the CBS, at the seven eleven,
at Target, any store that sold items that you could
carry in your arms or you could whisk them all
away in a shopping cart as long as under one
thousand dollars in total value, you couldn't be charged. And
(20:06):
you could do that every day, and some guys did.
And everybody has seen that. Okay, so clearly laws not
enforced in that case. What else not enforced? Can't sleep
on the streets, can't sleep in the park, can't live
in a public place? They did for ten years, people
are still doing it. Laws not enforced. People not only
using drugs in public, but selling drugs in public, selling
(20:30):
guns out of tents in front of schools. Unheard of
things when we were growing up, commonplace in Los Angeles,
specifically in Nythia Rahman's district, and she didn't care. All
kinds of stuff not enforced. How many times have we
had protests, not just over immigration, but any kind of
(20:52):
cockamami issue. They get to shut down the one on one,
They get to shut down major boulevards in downtown in LA.
They get to do whatever they want want. LAPD does nothing.
You have a freedom of speech, a freedom to assemble,
but only within certain parameters. You're supposed to get a permit.
The city will say, okay, you could protest here at
(21:14):
this time, but you can't block rush hour traffic. That's
against the law. Well, it's not enforced. Just like theft
wasn't enforced, just like public drug use wasn't enforced. Just
like people were smashing grab robberies for a couple of
years that wasn't enforced. You have squatters inhabiting private homes
(21:35):
that wasn't enforced. Nothing was enforced. Instead, what they were
doing was letting out thousands and thousands of criminals from
the prisons in jails, not prosecuting thousands. Kevin Newsom, they
finally calculated the crime rate in California went up thirty
one percent believes governor still is governor thirty one percent.
(22:00):
So when you have an entire generation raised on the
idea that laws aren't enforced, not a big shock that
you see a lot of young people in the streets
now they can't believe that Tom Homan and Trump is
directing Ice and Homeland Security and the National Guard and
maybe the Marines to enforce the law. And the best
thing Homan said is change the law if you don't
(22:23):
like it. It's in black and white. It was passed
by Congress, powers were given to the president. All that
you're seeing has been done for decades, but because specifically
the last four years Biden and those progressives intentionally let
(22:45):
the border fly open, and the place went to hell,
especially here in California. Well, when you don't see laws enforced,
you forget what it even looks like, and it offends everybody.
People upset. It seems like after getting their asses whipped
bloody in the election, all the progressives still hadn't figured
(23:06):
it out. I saw two polls over the weekend, but
big majorities for Trump on this. Yeah, they want people deported. Yes,
in fact, there's a fair number of people who want
everybody to ported, or they're neutral on it. He's not
gonna suffer any political blowback from this. If anything, Trump
(23:29):
is going to get more popular because who's his competitor here,
the silly, foolish Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom created this situation.
He gives free healthcare to all the people you see
protesting in the streets, waving Mexican flags, walking around with
(23:54):
backpacks filled with concrete, going to the one on one
overpass and dropping the concrete and rocks on the police
cars down below on LAPD cars. I saw it with
my own eyes last night, and then I hear. I
saw in the New York Times this morning, mostly peaceful
protests in Los Angeles. They actually wrote that line, don't
(24:15):
they know that's a joke line, That's a gagline. Not
mostly peaceful. I saw five waymos on fire with my
own eyes watching on TV. By the way, that didn't
bother me. I hate waymos.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Yeah, but you wouldn't. You wouldn't you wouldn't want to
be in one No on fire.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Well that's the beauty offul weymo. Nobody's in there now
did the did the protesters actually summon a weemo to
come pick an imaginary person up?
Speaker 4 (24:46):
No idea? Or they were just I think they were
just they were doing their jobs. They were just sitting downtown.
They're not in downtown LA today.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
No, no, no has's gone home. Yeah, that's bad night
for old Weamo. Those things burn forever. Yeah, the electric cars,
that's not good for the answer.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
Letting them burn out, they're going to be sniffing.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
That was just a minor, little minor, a little bit
of entertainment for me, that's all to see the way
Mow's on fire. They bug that, let me, but it
was still wrong. I want to make thinking okay, still
against the law. Okay, but I laughed at the same time. Anyway,
Newsom has created the situation. He's given twelve billion dollars
in the last year to illegal alien healthcare. That's why
(25:30):
we've attracted so many. You have a idiot, idiot, idiot
of a governor who gives away twelve billion dollars of
my tax money, your tax money, everybody's tax money for
illegal aliens. So we end up with a million, two million,
who the hell knows? And then when Trump and Homan
come in and say, well, some of you people are
(25:51):
going to go now, all hell breaks loose. Hey, I
give up these benefits. They got a good deal. You know,
how many healthcare for the rest of your life. You
start having family members and you bring them more of
them over here, and they all get healthcare for the
rest of their life. He bashed too. Bass has enforced
(26:16):
no laws nothing. In fact, much of the law breaking
in this city. Bass enables. How many billions were stolen
by her Inside Safe program and all the other homeless programs.
How many billions of dollars did new them and his
crony steel twenty four billion dollars? How about seventeen billion
(26:38):
that Newsom in high speed rail. That's death too. How
about the fifty billion that Newsom and the cyber fraudsters
stole from the Unemployment Agency. I mean, there's probably one
hundred billion dollars stolen collectively, just in all the categories
I just mentioned. They engage in massive theft every day.
(27:02):
Bass and Newsome. Then they create policies where we give
away tens of billions to illegal alience. So of course
they're outraged when Trump and Home Income and enforce the law.
Go ahead, Newson, this is great. You go run for president.
Let this be number one on your agenda. Let's get
(27:25):
rid of the border, and let's get rid of all
immigration enforcement. Let's abolish ice. Why don't you run on that.
Trump and Homan are going to win. You could file
all the lawsuits you want. They're going to win and
their right and a majority of the publics behind them.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
In case you missed it, we talked with Tom Homan,
who's in charge of immigration enforcement for the Trump administration.
He was on the air with us for about twenty minutes,
and after four o'clock you could hear that interview. Exclusive
interview on the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand coming
up just after two o'clock. Another major figure in this
(28:12):
sudden battle that we're having with these immigration activists. We're
going to talk with Bill Asali. He's Trump's new US
attorney for the Los Angeles area, the Central District they
call it, which encompasses many counties, La County and the
surrounding ones. And he's going to come on with us
as well. One of the other figures in the news
(28:36):
is David Huerta, and David Huerta is president of the
Service Employees International Union California. You may have seen this
guy occasionally in news stories, major union official, fifty eight
years old, and he showed up to block an immigration
(29:02):
raid in downtown LA and bad things happened because now
he's facing a felony charge of impeding a federal immigration
action and he could face six years in prison. He
(29:25):
was detained and injured. He was quote documenting a workplace
immigration raid.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Another guy holding up a camera. By the way, so
many people out in the streets look stupid walking around
holding up a camera. You have a dozen live television
cameras on a dozen different stations. You got hundreds of
other people holding up their cameras. It's just so, it's
(29:52):
just so silly, and everybody does exactly the same thing.
And I'm looking at these people and I'm wondering how
many of these people are illegal here. I'm guessing the
ones waving the Mexican flags. That's a sure thing. Anyway,
Uh Huerta. There was a photo that Assaily posted with
(30:12):
his hands behind his back. They said he obstructed access
of federal authorities to where they were conducting a search warrant.
That's another unreported story. There were a lot of unreported
stories over the weekend, and I'm going to go through
them all eventually. But a judge named Marco Margo Racconi,
(30:34):
US magistrate. She authorized search warrants Thursday for four business
locations Suspective suspected of unlawfully employing illegal aliens and falsifying
employment records related to the status of its employees. So
it was a federal judge issued a warrant. Ice had
(30:55):
the job of executing the warrant. David Hirta, the union leader,
is standing in the way obstructing, so he's been arrested.
And I hope he gets six years in prison. The
media all day long yesterday and I consumed way too
much of this. Not what I wanted to do on
(31:17):
a Sunday, but I'm trying to find out, well, where
did this start? Why did this start? And it turns out,
as Tom Holman explained, and I didn't read about that
until this morning, this was a fashion business that I
think Bill Saleya talked more about this. This was a
fashion business that had some kind of racket going on.
(31:40):
They were under reporting, they weren't paying their taxes. It
wasn't designed as a workplace raide. Now, when you go
into a business like that, if there are legal aliens working,
they'll get arrested or detained. By the way, these places
are also abusing employees, making them work very long hours
(32:01):
for very little pay. Again, they were the business was
breaking the law, ice enforcing the law. This is what
God get with the excuse for the activists to go crazy,
and they were looking for something to go crazy once
they heard that Trump potentially is sending the National Guard.
(32:24):
And I'm thinking, well, what wouldn't he send the national Guard?
Because last night I saw with my own eyes, we're
going to play the audio next hour, Jim McDonald, the
LAPD chief, is saying that LAPD officers were overwhelmed last night. Overwhelmed,
that's his word. Well, if the LAPD is overwhelmed, who
(32:46):
are we going to turn to? Because Karen Bass and
Gavin Newsom made this a sanctuary state, a sanctuary city.
These illegal aliens, mostly young guys. I like how we're told, Oh,
it's just hard working. They're not working hard. They're destroying things, vandalizing.
(33:11):
They busted up many police cars on the one oh one. Like,
maybe they are working hard. Sure, maybe their parents were
working hard. Those parents raised bad guys. There's a lot
of bad parenting maybe among the hard working immigrants, these
people who are out of control, and they're therefoot by
the thousands, and they're waving Mexican flags. Exactly who am
(33:34):
I supposed to feel sorry for here? I didn't see
a thousand housekeepers in the street. I didn't see a
thousand nannies. I saw a thousand young thugs in the street,
and I'm paying for their health care. And I got
Karen Vass and Gavin Newsom telling me that everything I'm
(33:55):
looking at is wrong. I got some TV news casters
telling me. What I'm looking at is wrong? The hell's
going on here?
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (34:07):
What Homan was doing? The Ice, Homeland Security, the cops,
they're doing the right thing. The fashion company was breaking
the law, Homeland Homeland Security and ICE was enforcing the law.
Same thing in the streets. The cops are taking rocks
(34:27):
to their skulls. What's wrong with everybody? What did this happen?
