Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Third hour now and first two hours you really ought
to listen to if you didn't get a chance. You're
relate to the show. That's what the podcast is for.
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. And
we cover quite a bit in the first hour of
Gavin Newsom's a pep rally and Karen Bass's emotional meltdown
(00:24):
on a sidewalk, and we might play the Karen Bass
mount In fact, I want to play maybe all the
meltdowns today, the Karen Bass meltdown, the South Carolina goodernatorial
candidate screaming in the streets in his underwear and shoes.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I believe Bass was wearing clothing.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I don't know about the underwear and shoes, but I
know she was wearing something up top. And oh, and
then we go about the guy who threw the subway sandwich.
Had a border patrol official in Washington, d C. And
he may now go to federal prison, and he worked
for the government in the Department of Justice. All this
went on today, we'll get to it. We've got John
(01:07):
Fleischmann coming on, a long time analyst and very involved
in the Republican Party for many years. He knows politics
in this state as well as anybody. He's got a
site called so Doesitmatter dot com? So does Itmatter dot com?
And we are going to get to one of his
latest topics in a moment. Sacramento. The legislature is going
(01:29):
to put something on the ballot which will make it,
I guess, facilitate happy sounding ballot measures, but buried inside
are terrible tax increases.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Johnny there.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
All on here. I'm still recovering from having just watched
the newsom twenty twenty eight campaign rally paid for with
your state tax dollars and streamed on the official government
ex account.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But I'm here. I want to talk about that first.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So he wants to force redistricting on the state so
that we could get forty nine Democratic representatives out of
fifty two, right, because forty three is not enough, and
he wants.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
To He got like thirty seven percent of the vote
in California and they want Republicans to have about four
percent of the representation.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No, it's absolutely nuts. So he has this rally today.
He wants to redraw the lines. And for people who
don't know, there was a ballot initiative that passed way
back in twenty ten and it passed sixty one to
thirty nine saying we're going to have an independent commission
draw these lines, no politicians. So he wants to overturn
(02:44):
an initiative that was passed by sixty one percent of
the public.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Then this morning, I know you saw this.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You wake up and political has a pall that says
sixty four percent of the state still wants to keep
that redistricting commission. They don't want Newsom or anybody else
getting in the way. So he starts out, he's behind
two to one, he's behind sixty four to thirty six,
and then he holds a pep rally. Is he insane?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I think he's figured out that win or lose. He
has taken the anti Trump lane. And like I said,
I really saw this more as a Newsom for President
rally than really having to do with redistricting in California.
But yes, he's insane. He's going to rally all these
people and they're going to move forward. I think they've
got a tough road to hoe to get on the ballot.
(03:31):
I think that the US Department of Justice is going
to start filing lawsuits the minute that they do this
talking about violation of the Voter Rights Act. There are
districts in California that have to be approved by judges
because of arcane rules, and I wouldn't be surprised if
we saw the Department of Justice muck this thing up
so it can't make the ballot in twenty twenty six.
But that doesn't matter to him. All he's doing is
(03:54):
rallying all those people in the room for his campaign
for president.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It was a lot of union people and a lot
of political hacks, and it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I turned on the rally a little bit late and
I'm like, hey, that's the union guy that got arrested
just two months ago because he stood in the way
of ICE agents trying to actually serve legitimate judge approved
search warrants. And that guy ended up going to prison,
going to jail for the weekend. And now he's the
(04:26):
opening speaker for Gavin Newsom at his presidential rally. Literally like,
you can't make it up.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I feel like we live it in a different country
than the rest of the than the rest of the nation.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
It's like this dystopian reality of life. And yeah, you're
not kidding.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Well, because he's got to get this done quickly. He's
got to get it on the ballot in a number
of days. You're going to have all kinds of legal chances.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
They got to get They got to get it on
the ballot like next week, and they have a very
limited window before all of these fifty eight bureaucratic registrars.
The voters have said, if you want us to print
it around and get ballots mailed out, you've got to
be on this timeline. And that's why I think he's very,
very susceptible to lawsuits not in state court because between
(05:12):
Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, sticks of the seven state
Supreme Court justices are their bitches, so they're going to
do whatever they want a state court in state court,
but in federal court. Now, now you've got a federal
Department of Justice that's going to go before federal courts,
and that the end of that chain gets to a
much different Supreme Court than the one in California. And
(05:34):
so I think it'll be interesting to see what happens.
I don't think Newsom cares. If he gets it on
the ballot, he's happy. If Trump's Department of Justice stops it,
he's happy because all he's doing is rallying the base
so that he can become the nominee for president in
twenty twenty eight. It's like a take a win win
for him. He's happy.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
All right, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Say really, that's we got to.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Get to the boring bill, which is a horrible bill.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, it's a horrible bill. I don't want to short
trift this Assembly Bill six. It's on a fast track
in Sacramento. Explain so that everybody can understand what would
this bill do if it became law.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Okay, so everyone who's listening, you already know that when
election time comes, you get a ballot in the mail,
and that ballot has like a what you're voting on
and the actual ballot question. So, for example, it might
be the the John Cobolt Fairness Act, and then the
question is do you believe that John Cobolt should have
(06:34):
to give equal time on his radio show to left
wing wackos. You'd know what the question is. You know
what it is. You know it's straightforward. Well, if there's
a tax measure that's put before you right now on
the ballot. In addition to saying, you know, this is
the Better Schools in America Act, and do you want
to make schools better, it has to actually say this
(06:55):
represents a tax increase. This is how much your taxes
will go up. This is how much it will cost,
and this is how much money will be raised by
this tax increase over the next whatever period of time.
So it's like full disclosure so that you know when
you're voting what the tax implications are. What this legislation
SB six ninety nine, sorry, AB six ninety nine does,
(07:17):
is it says we're going to take that warning to taxpayers.
We're going to take it off of the ballot that
you all read right when you vote, and we're going
to put it in that two inch thick phone book
that you receive thirty days before the election, so you
can find it buried on page you know, forty seven
in small print, and if you look over there, you'll
realize what the tax implication is. And this is a
(07:38):
bill that's been promoted by the unions because they would
like to get this off the ballot because one of
their big plays that they want to do is you know,
they've been constantly getting raises, constantly driving up the pension costs,
and all of these cities and counties around California are
going busted, and so they're now forced to put measures
(07:59):
on the back to increase taxes, and the unions don't
want you, the taxpayer, to understand the financial cost of
the measure, and so it's really insidious. It's really terrible.
As you said, I wrote about it all on sodaes
itmatter dot com. But it's really bad and it's on
the fast track. So literally, the only person I think
(08:22):
standing between this bill and it becoming a law was
the turret in the punch bowl that just gave his
presidential rally this morning. Because if he doesn't veto the
if he doesn't veto the bill, no one's going to
veto the bill. And what do you do when the
quote unquote adult in the room, Gavin Newsom, has suddenly
decided to be a baby. There's there's nothing I'm not
(08:44):
telling your listeners not to call their senators, which you
should do and oppose this bill. And you should call
Gavin Newsom's office and oppose this bill. But you know,
I'm like what I'm following behind the most cynical talk
show in America. And so you know, I'm really kind
of skeptical that we're going to stop it.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But this is the latest scheme.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
If they can keep you from understanding what you're voting on,
they're happy.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Well historically they've done it when they can get away with.
I mean, remember Prop forty seven was the Better Schools,
Safer Schools, and Neighborhoods Act.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well, well that's the irony and it actually and it
actually ties back to the speech that Caven Newsom gave
this morning, right, because we have in California this jacked
up system where the Attorney General of California writes the
title on the semi those very words I told you
about the John Cobolt Fairness Act and what it would
do that would actually get written in this state by
(09:43):
Rob Bonta, the very liberal Attorney General, who of course
has endorsed what the governor is doing. In this case,
if the legislature puts an act on the ballot, they
actually get to pick their own title and summary. So
it will be very very biased. What the voter see
will be, you know, something very and so yeah, it's
already bad enough that the title and summary that you
(10:06):
see is twisted and it's biased. But now even the
factual statement underneath it that at least lets you know
how much the actual cost. They want to get rid
of that too. So it's really it's really, uh, it's disingenuous,
it's dishonest and uh. And and this is coming from
people who hold press conferences complaining about no rules and
(10:29):
the rigging of the system, while they simultaneously practice no
rules and the rigging of the system. It's it's it's
it's hypoprosy.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
It's best I know. It's quite a time we're living in.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
John Fleischmann, thank you for coming and go read his site,
So does itmatter dot Com? And there's further details explaining
what's going on here, So does itmatter dot Com?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Thank you, John. All Right, we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Voice line eight.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Seven seven moist staty six eight seven seven moist staty six.
We have some vacancies twenty four hours to go talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio Apple work as well.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
The La Times uncorked a couple of Classics today. One
is they went on a lengthy emotional description of how
one guy got arrested coming out of the courthouse. He's
a drug dealer and he's here illegally, and the police
(11:38):
picked him up, or ice picked him up and carried
him away at to carry him by his arms and
legs because he was resisting arrest, and the La Times
did like thirty five paragraphs on the horror of it all. Well,
here's another one. Homeless people in detention camps. Fears grow
(11:59):
about Trump and the Olympics. Local officials and advocates for
the homeless are fearful that President Trump will take draconian
action against homeless people, like getting them off the streets.
That's draconian, including pushing them into detention camps. When when
Los Angeles host the Olympic Games in twenty twenty eight, Yes,
(12:22):
that's exactly what he what he should do. We got
we got a god knows how many hundreds of thousands
of people are coming to the city, but millions of people.
You can't have that in the streets.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Newsom did it for the Chinese president in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yes, exactly, that's exactly what Newsom did. Ah and everybody
mocked him in eating care Well, Trump is giving a signal.
Remember he's in charge of the Olympics task force. He
just took over Washington d C. He said homeless people
(12:58):
would be given places to, say, far from the capitol
in Washington, and now they went to a professor, not
a just a professor, a professor emeritus at UCLA Law School.
Professor emeritus means very old, professor Gary Blasi. Based on
(13:18):
everything that has happened so far, I think you would
have to be irrational not to worry about a worst
case scenario where federal troops are effectively forcing poor people
on the street to relocate to what is essentially a
detention center somewhere out of sight. Yes, we've been calling
for this for ten years. They should be relocated out
(13:38):
of sight to some homeless camp, preferably out in the desert.
Gary Blasi is finally seeing it. My way out, that's
just one way ticket out far away. Don't want to
look at them, don't want to see him, don't want
to smell them, don't want to see their feces, their needles,
their half naked, insane behavior, whiskey bottles. They're all the drugs.
(14:04):
I don't see any of this. Nobody wants to see it.
We gave you ten years, We gave you billions of dollars.
You did nothing. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said the
people of Los Angeles would benefit tremendously if local officials
followed President Trump's lead to make the city safe and beautiful,
(14:26):
especially as they prepare to welcome fifteen million people from
around the world as the Olympics host city.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Fifteen million.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
So what are you gonna do when there's fifteen million
guests coming to see your city? Leave half naked, screaming
homeless people in their tents.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You think anybody in Europe would do that.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
French authorities bust homeless people out of Paris before the
twenty twenty four Games in nineteen eighty four, back when
la was normal, lapd use mounted horse patrols to chase
homeless people into less visible areas downtown. Bess, though, says
she would not bust homeless people out of the city.
(15:15):
Wa good, we can that fifteen million people, fifteen million
visitors can watch the vagrants drop their pants and defecate
right in front of them. Here's your welcome to Los Angeles.
You imagine, imagine all these millions of people coming and
they're looking around, and there's guys with their pants around
their ankles, and there.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
They're firing logs.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Out other crazy people. Lindsay Horvath says, this is dehumanization.
The county will keep doing what's right, focusing on humane,
lasting solutions to homelessness. Lindsay Horvath, you are a complete bubblehead.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
All your methods have failed failed. Shut up. You're just
wasting money, and you know you are.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
All your nonprofit friends are running off with the loot
knit the Iraman knit. The Araman chair of the city
council Housing and Homelessness Committee. She's one of the nuttiest
of them all. She's in charge of the committee. The
repercussions would be staggering. No, the streets would be clean,
they'd all be gone. Imagine if they're all gone. I
(16:31):
want to see this happen so bad. Yeah, he's gotta
you know what, He's just gotta come here. Jonas Hans says,
this is what tyrants do. Then bring on a tyrant.
Jennis Han. You had ten years, you accomplish nothing, total failure,
and all your buddies in the homeless, nonprofit industry got
rich on our money. That's what happened. Everybody knows it.
(16:54):
You know it. Stop with your fake outrage, big phony.
We got Tony Strickland comeing on next, Huntington Beach, Republican
state Senator. He's going to talk about Newsom's absurd redistricting
plan that he had his stupid pep rally over.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Today.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
We are here every day from one until four o'clock.
Quite a program today. I don't have time to go
through it. You got to listen to it. It's gonna
be posted as a podcast after four o'clock. John Cobelt
Show on Demand. A lot of it on Gavin Newsom's
circus today promoting his redistricting plan, and downtown LA and
Ice showing up to arrest one guy running a strawberry cart,
(17:39):
which caused Karen Bass to come running out screaming. We're
gonna play her screaming next segment. I'm on all the
screaming clips that we've had today. We'll play the last segment,
but first I've been screaming I'm a horse. We've got
our next guest, Tony Strickland. He is the state Senator
(18:03):
from Manhattan Beach and he's coming on to talk about
Newsom's redistricting nonsense, Tony, how are you.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I'm fantastic. How are you?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I'm good? It was quite the day this morning.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You probably saw Politico has a poll sixty four percent
of Californians don't want redistricting. They don't want to get
rid of the commission because they voted it in on
a referendum fifteen years ago, and it's got even more
support today than it did fifteen years ago, sixty four
to thirty six.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Do you see that correct? Correct? I mean California is
a minte. It clear that they want a non partisan
redistricting commission. They want apoll transparency. What we have currently
here in California as they draw the lines in public
in front of everybody, they have in our constitution that
they try to keep communities of interest together as much
(18:57):
as they possibly can. And what got the news and
wants to do is go behind closed doors, draw these
lines with a couple of his legislative leaders behind closed doors,
and have zero transparency and throughout the communities of interest
there might be a situation where you live in an
area and your congress person lives one hundred and fifty
(19:18):
miles to two hundred miles away from you. They're going
to slice and dice California to achieve their partisan goals.
And Democrats, independence and Republicans across the state of California,
and people who have common sense know that we have
the gold standard here that we have full transparency in
a system where politicians don't pick their constituents, the constituents
(19:40):
actually pick their representatives.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Rigging a system where the Democrats are already up forty
three to nine, so they could be up forty nine
to three.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I mean that is a little much by drawing that question.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And when we talked about statewide election results, the Republicans
usually get around forty two to forty three percent of
the vote, but even currently now the legislature it's only
twenty percent. So we're already underrepresented in terms of with
actual votes that come out throughout the state of California.
But again, we have a system right now that those
(20:16):
lines are drawn in public in front of everybody as
a non partisan commission. And the poll from Politico this
morning just shows that the again it has over sixty
percent of the vote in California.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So so what's he doing.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Is this a big emotional manipulation just so he's got
all this attention on him and he stands there, he
looks presidential and he's got all those happy seals waving
signs like he's at the Democratic Convention, just to enhance
his public image. He knows this whole thing is a
big turn and it's going to get flush.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah. No, And by the way, today it was nothing
but a campaign rally, and they use government taxpayer money
for campaign purposes, because that's all today was was a
campaign rally, and it was done all and accordinated all
by the official governor's office that's paid for by the taxpayers.
(21:08):
And I believe one of my colleagues and the Assembly
is already the complaint with a Fair Political Practice Commission
because you're not allowed to use taxpayer money for campaign purposes.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, this is this is really getting abusive because he's
got an unpopular measure that nobody asked for and and
turned it into this big media event, this big rally.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I mean, it's it's just galling what he does. But
if the thing blows up aren't.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Isn't that going to give him a whiff of a loser.
To some extent, I.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Called the newsom Jerrymander gamble. You know, he he is
definitely gambling his future. He looks for any way possible, though,
to try to get national news. That's why he's used
a lot of tax payer money to give Attorney Rob
Monta the ability that anytime the federal government does anything,
they sue to get press coverage. But they all lose
(22:08):
all those lawsuits moving forward, you know, and no one
really follows it. It's it's him just wanting to get
national media attention so he could rent for president of
the United States. What we're lacking here in California is
actually a governor that does his job. He says, all
his time figuring out try how he's going to rent
for president of the United States, and he doesn't even
do the job that he was elected to do and
(22:30):
be governor of California.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
We've got the highest gas prices by far, highest electricity rates.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Double look at John. The one thing I like to
point out is he couldn't put in two hundred million
dollars for Proposition thirty six to keep us safe as
the initiative past seventy percent of the vote across the
state of California, all fifty eight counties. But he found
two hundred million dollars to put this power grab on
the ballot.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, oh no, it's really disgusting, but we got it,
really is. We got the highest sales tax, highs income tax,
iized gas task text, double the electricity rates, highest unemployment rate,
most highest percentage on Medicaid, highest percentage on poverty. We
got seventy thousand homeless just in La County. He blew
(23:15):
billions of dollars in homeless money. He can't find it.
Billions of dollars a high speed rail, nobody can find it.
Billions of dollars on unemployment, money for COVID, nobody can
find it. Tell me why an opponent, a Republican, an independent,
somebody can't put together a case to win the governorship
(23:37):
and end this nonsense. I don't understand it. There's like,
there's like ten issues, any one of them alone people
could use to run a winning campaign. There's got to
be somebody who's got the capabilities. There's got to be
some money out there to back a candidate who just
has to you know, read those six or eight things I.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Just read without without questions on it. In fact, in fact,
you're looking a lot that Cans that are campaigning around
the state. For example, this nonsense of.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Getting rid of gas powered cars. Some of the Cans
running for governor already campaign against that. My guess is,
whoever the next governor of California is one of the
first things they're going to do is pull the plug
on the.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
High speed rail, and that whoever that governor is is
going to be incredibly popular day one, because they're going
to step in and get rid of some of the
nonsense that this governor's had by far no one. When
I was in the legislature, I was very young back
in the day with Gray Davis and I sued him
in a lawsuit. Strickland, b Davis, and you were right
(24:41):
there pushing for a full disclosure and transparency. But you know,
I never thought I would say that Gray Davis will
be better than anybody. But he's certainly better than Gavin Newsom.
And that's saying a love.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Dan Newson is quite destructive. All right, Tony Strickland, thank
you for coming on with us.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Thanks for having me on. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
He's a Republican state senator from Manhattan. Beach.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
All right, you want Huntington Beach. I always put him
in Manhattan or I put him in Herosta a couple
of weeks ago. Yeah, Seal Beach is next coming up.
We're gonna play you. Karen Bass screaming. We're gonna play
a candidate for governor in South Carolina Democrat. He's screaming too.
It's a lot of people screaming. I bleeped Lorena Gonzales too, Okay, good,
(25:25):
I wanted to run Lorena Gonzalez. Yes, she was screaming
during Newsom's rally today and she dropped an F bomb which.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Got through, but we deleted it over the air.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
But probably would it be on the podcast, No, it
won't be on the Pope won't be on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
But they didn't bleep it during the actual press conference.
That's right.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I heard there were other people, yes, unleashing F bombs.
All right, so crazy people coming up along with the mayor.
Kf I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Moist line is eight seven seven Moist Davy six. The
last call.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
It's going to be tomorrow twice three o'clock hour eight
seven seven moist eighty six of the talkback feature on
the iHeartRadio app. To just have a couple of minutes,
I want to go through a quick review of today's
crazy people. Let's start with Loraina Gonzalez. She's a union
head who spoke at Newsome's PEP rally for redistricting.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
They were told, even our Republican members, that he was
for working people, that somehow he cared about bringing manufacturing
and jobs back to America and to make sure that
working people were taken care of. And what has he done.
He has systematically destroyed our federal government unions by abolishing
basically collective bargaining agreements that were decades in the making.
(26:43):
He has taken away the right to collectively bargain of
every employee he possibly can, and.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
That is not pro worker.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
So we tell our members who believed him, it's okay,
he lied.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
She used bad word. There apparently a number of Newsom speakers.
So he stands there in his stupid blue suit. Well,
everybody's dropping f bombs all over the place. He was
looking real awkward in the background, just being like, oh,
I didn't think they were going to go off the
rails like that. Well, we're in a Gonzales is insane,
I mean, not heard her for years. Just a screaming knee.
By the way, just a correction. Government employees are not workers,
(27:24):
all right, So stop that, all right, now, let's go
to our lunatic mayor. She heard that a guy selling
strawberries from a cart had been detained by ice in
front of Newsom's event, and when she heard about it,
she ran into the street, presumably clothed, and started screaming,
(27:44):
listen to your mayor, Karen Bass, why.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Would you do that?
Speaker 5 (27:48):
That is unbelievably disrespectful. It's a provocative act. They're talking
about disorder in Los Angeles, and they are the sort
of the disorder in Los Angeles right now. This is
just come deletely unacceptable. This is a administration, this is
a customs and border patrol that has gone amok. This
absolutely has to sup There was no danger here, there
(28:11):
was no need to detain anyone here, and there was
certainly no need to have a provocative act right here
where the governor is having a threat company.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
And finally, this is a candidate, a major Democratic candidate
for governor in South Carolina, a Democrat. He had a
bad incident last May, and the tape is just surfaced
after a Freedom of Information Act request. He's known as
Mullins McLoud. He is an attorney, prominent attorney in Charleston,
(28:41):
South Carolina, and back in May. Now here you have
to imagine a little bit. They found him standing in
the street wearing nothing but underwear and his shoes. And
apparently from what I've read, he's one of the top
candidates for governor.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Mill William can I talk to you?
Speaker 9 (29:08):
Were getting off my guess, Hey, Darren Matthew, My flames
were started.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
At bud.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
That guy Mullins McLeod. William McLeod is his legal name.
He's an attorney and a prominent Charleston Democrat. He announced
Monday he's running for governor. And then this tape service
and we didn't even get to the guy who threw
the subway sandwich at the border patrol agent. And now
(29:46):
he's gonna maybe go to federal prison for a year.
No word on the type of sandwich we've got conway here.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
This show got a really big show.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
But first, you know, throughout the fires, the riots, the
water shortage up in the North. I never heard Mayor
Bazdat animated about all any of those.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Issues, any of them. One guy's selling strawberries and she
goes nuts.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Yeah yeah, she fights for that one guy, but not
the red the whole city.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
We have steph Ush's mom and dad coming in. You know,
he got in a car accident a week ago, actually
a week ago today, and the two guys that saved
Two of the five people that saved his life are
also here. Rick Chambers with KTLA is here, So it's
gonna be on Channel five news. But the parents are
going to meet the people who saved their son's life
for the very first time right here on KFI.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
All right, big deal coming up in minutes, so don't
go anywhere. Conway Krozier is the news live in the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 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.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Third hour now and first two hours you really ought
to listen to if you didn't get a chance. You're
relate to the show. That's what the podcast is for.
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app. And
we cover quite a bit in the first hour of
Gavin Newsom's a pep rally and Karen Bass's emotional meltdown
(00:24):
on a sidewalk, and we might play the Karen Bass
mount In fact, I want to play maybe all the
meltdowns today, the Karen Bass meltdown, the South Carolina goodernatorial
candidate screaming in the streets in his underwear and shoes.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
I believe Bass was wearing clothing.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
I don't know about the underwear and shoes, but I
know she was wearing something up top. And oh, and
then we go about the guy who threw the subway sandwich.
Had a border patrol official in Washington, d C. And
he may now go to federal prison, and he worked
for the government in the Department of Justice. All this
went on today, we'll get to it. We've got John
(01:07):
Fleischmann coming on, a long time analyst and very involved
in the Republican Party for many years. He knows politics
in this state as well as anybody. He's got a
site called so Doesitmatter dot com? So does Itmatter dot com?
And we are going to get to one of his
latest topics in a moment. Sacramento. The legislature is going
(01:29):
to put something on the ballot which will make it,
I guess, facilitate happy sounding ballot measures, but buried inside
are terrible tax increases.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Johnny there.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
All on here. I'm still recovering from having just watched
the newsom twenty twenty eight campaign rally paid for with
your state tax dollars and streamed on the official government
ex account.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
But I'm here. I want to talk about that first.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So he wants to force redistricting on the state so
that we could get forty nine Democratic representatives out of
fifty two, right, because forty three is not enough, and
he wants.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
To He got like thirty seven percent of the vote
in California and they want Republicans to have about four
percent of the representation.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
No, it's absolutely nuts. So he has this rally today.
He wants to redraw the lines. And for people who
don't know, there was a ballot initiative that passed way
back in twenty ten and it passed sixty one to
thirty nine saying we're going to have an independent commission
draw these lines, no politicians. So he wants to overturn
(02:44):
an initiative that was passed by sixty one percent of
the public.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Then this morning, I know you saw this.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You wake up and political has a pall that says
sixty four percent of the state still wants to keep
that redistricting commission. They don't want Newsom or anybody else
getting in the way. So he starts out, he's behind
two to one, he's behind sixty four to thirty six,
and then he holds a pep rally. Is he insane?
Speaker 5 (03:10):
You know what?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I think he's figured out that win or lose. He
has taken the anti Trump lane. And like I said,
I really saw this more as a Newsom for President
rally than really having to do with redistricting in California.
But yes, he's insane. He's going to rally all these
people and they're going to move forward. I think they've
got a tough road to hoe to get on the ballot.
(03:31):
I think that the US Department of Justice is going
to start filing lawsuits the minute that they do this
talking about violation of the Voter Rights Act. There are
districts in California that have to be approved by judges
because of arcane rules, and I wouldn't be surprised if
we saw the Department of Justice muck this thing up
so it can't make the ballot in twenty twenty six.
But that doesn't matter to him. All he's doing is
(03:54):
rallying all those people in the room for his campaign
for president.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
It was a lot of union people and a lot
of political hacks, and it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
I turned on the rally a little bit late and
I'm like, hey, that's the union guy that got arrested
just two months ago because he stood in the way
of ICE agents trying to actually serve legitimate judge approved
search warrants. And that guy ended up going to prison,
going to jail for the weekend. And now he's the
(04:26):
opening speaker for Gavin Newsom at his presidential rally. Literally like,
you can't make it up.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I feel like we live it in a different country
than the rest of the than the rest of the nation.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
It's like this dystopian reality of life. And yeah, you're
not kidding.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Well, because he's got to get this done quickly. He's
got to get it on the ballot in a number
of days. You're going to have all kinds of legal chances.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
They got to get They got to get it on
the ballot like next week, and they have a very
limited window before all of these fifty eight bureaucratic registrars.
The voters have said, if you want us to print
it around and get ballots mailed out, you've got to
be on this timeline. And that's why I think he's very,
very susceptible to lawsuits not in state court because between
(05:12):
Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, sticks of the seven state
Supreme Court justices are their bitches, so they're going to
do whatever they want a state court in state court,
but in federal court. Now, now you've got a federal
Department of Justice that's going to go before federal courts,
and that the end of that chain gets to a
much different Supreme Court than the one in California. And
(05:34):
so I think it'll be interesting to see what happens.
I don't think Newsom cares. If he gets it on
the ballot, he's happy. If Trump's Department of Justice stops it,
he's happy because all he's doing is rallying the base
so that he can become the nominee for president in
twenty twenty eight. It's like a take a win win
for him. He's happy.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
All right, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Say really, that's we got to.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Get to the boring bill, which is a horrible bill.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
No, it's a horrible bill. I don't want to short
trift this Assembly Bill six. It's on a fast track
in Sacramento. Explain so that everybody can understand what would
this bill do if it became law.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Okay, so everyone who's listening, you already know that when
election time comes, you get a ballot in the mail,
and that ballot has like a what you're voting on
and the actual ballot question. So, for example, it might
be the the John Cobolt Fairness Act, and then the
question is do you believe that John Cobolt should have
(06:34):
to give equal time on his radio show to left
wing wackos. You'd know what the question is. You know
what it is. You know it's straightforward. Well, if there's
a tax measure that's put before you right now on
the ballot. In addition to saying, you know, this is
the Better Schools in America Act, and do you want
to make schools better, it has to actually say this
(06:55):
represents a tax increase. This is how much your taxes
will go up. This is how much it will cost,
and this is how much money will be raised by
this tax increase over the next whatever period of time.
So it's like full disclosure so that you know when
you're voting what the tax implications are. What this legislation
SB six ninety nine, sorry, AB six ninety nine does,
(07:17):
is it says we're going to take that warning to taxpayers.
We're going to take it off of the ballot that
you all read right when you vote, and we're going
to put it in that two inch thick phone book
that you receive thirty days before the election, so you
can find it buried on page you know, forty seven
in small print, and if you look over there, you'll
realize what the tax implication is. And this is a
(07:38):
bill that's been promoted by the unions because they would
like to get this off the ballot because one of
their big plays that they want to do is you know,
they've been constantly getting raises, constantly driving up the pension costs,
and all of these cities and counties around California are
going busted, and so they're now forced to put measures
(07:59):
on the back to increase taxes, and the unions don't
want you, the taxpayer, to understand the financial cost of
the measure, and so it's really insidious. It's really terrible.
As you said, I wrote about it all on sodaes
itmatter dot com. But it's really bad and it's on
the fast track. So literally, the only person I think
(08:22):
standing between this bill and it becoming a law was
the turret in the punch bowl that just gave his
presidential rally this morning. Because if he doesn't veto the
if he doesn't veto the bill, no one's going to
veto the bill. And what do you do when the
quote unquote adult in the room, Gavin Newsom, has suddenly
decided to be a baby. There's there's nothing I'm not
(08:44):
telling your listeners not to call their senators, which you
should do and oppose this bill. And you should call
Gavin Newsom's office and oppose this bill. But you know,
I'm like what I'm following behind the most cynical talk
show in America. And so you know, I'm really kind
of skeptical that we're going to stop it.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
But this is the latest scheme.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
If they can keep you from understanding what you're voting on,
they're happy.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Well historically they've done it when they can get away with.
I mean, remember Prop forty seven was the Better Schools,
Safer Schools, and Neighborhoods Act.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well, well that's the irony and it actually and it
actually ties back to the speech that Caven Newsom gave
this morning, right, because we have in California this jacked
up system where the Attorney General of California writes the
title on the semi those very words I told you
about the John Cobolt Fairness Act and what it would
do that would actually get written in this state by
(09:43):
Rob Bonta, the very liberal Attorney General, who of course
has endorsed what the governor is doing. In this case,
if the legislature puts an act on the ballot, they
actually get to pick their own title and summary. So
it will be very very biased. What the voter see
will be, you know, something very and so yeah, it's
already bad enough that the title and summary that you
(10:06):
see is twisted and it's biased. But now even the
factual statement underneath it that at least lets you know
how much the actual cost. They want to get rid
of that too. So it's really it's really, uh, it's disingenuous,
it's dishonest and uh. And and this is coming from
people who hold press conferences complaining about no rules and
(10:29):
the rigging of the system, while they simultaneously practice no
rules and the rigging of the system. It's it's it's
it's hypoprosy.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
It's best I know. It's quite a time we're living in.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
John Fleischmann, thank you for coming and go read his site,
So does itmatter dot Com? And there's further details explaining
what's going on here, So does itmatter dot Com?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Thank you, John. All Right, we'll talk again soon.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Voice line eight.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Seven seven moist staty six eight seven seven moist staty six.
We have some vacancies twenty four hours to go talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio Apple work as well.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
The La Times uncorked a couple of Classics today. One
is they went on a lengthy emotional description of how
one guy got arrested coming out of the courthouse. He's
a drug dealer and he's here illegally, and the police
(11:38):
picked him up, or ice picked him up and carried
him away at to carry him by his arms and
legs because he was resisting arrest, and the La Times
did like thirty five paragraphs on the horror of it all. Well,
here's another one. Homeless people in detention camps. Fears grow
(11:59):
about Trump and the Olympics. Local officials and advocates for
the homeless are fearful that President Trump will take draconian
action against homeless people, like getting them off the streets.
That's draconian, including pushing them into detention camps. When when
Los Angeles host the Olympic Games in twenty twenty eight, Yes,
(12:22):
that's exactly what he what he should do. We got
we got a god knows how many hundreds of thousands
of people are coming to the city, but millions of people.
You can't have that in the streets.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Newsom did it for the Chinese president in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
Yes, exactly, that's exactly what Newsom did. Ah and everybody
mocked him in eating care Well, Trump is giving a signal.
Remember he's in charge of the Olympics task force. He
just took over Washington d C. He said homeless people
(12:58):
would be given places to, say, far from the capitol
in Washington, and now they went to a professor, not
a just a professor, a professor emeritus at UCLA Law School.
Professor emeritus means very old, professor Gary Blasi. Based on
(13:18):
everything that has happened so far, I think you would
have to be irrational not to worry about a worst
case scenario where federal troops are effectively forcing poor people
on the street to relocate to what is essentially a
detention center somewhere out of sight. Yes, we've been calling
for this for ten years. They should be relocated out
(13:38):
of sight to some homeless camp, preferably out in the desert.
Gary Blasi is finally seeing it. My way out, that's
just one way ticket out far away. Don't want to
look at them, don't want to see him, don't want
to smell them, don't want to see their feces, their needles,
their half naked, insane behavior, whiskey bottles. They're all the drugs.
(14:04):
I don't see any of this. Nobody wants to see it.
We gave you ten years, We gave you billions of dollars.
You did nothing. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said the
people of Los Angeles would benefit tremendously if local officials
followed President Trump's lead to make the city safe and beautiful,
(14:26):
especially as they prepare to welcome fifteen million people from
around the world as the Olympics host city.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Fifteen million.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
So what are you gonna do when there's fifteen million
guests coming to see your city? Leave half naked, screaming
homeless people in their tents.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
You think anybody in Europe would do that.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
French authorities bust homeless people out of Paris before the
twenty twenty four Games in nineteen eighty four, back when
la was normal, lapd use mounted horse patrols to chase
homeless people into less visible areas downtown. Bess, though, says
she would not bust homeless people out of the city.
(15:15):
Wa good, we can that fifteen million people, fifteen million
visitors can watch the vagrants drop their pants and defecate
right in front of them. Here's your welcome to Los Angeles.
You imagine, imagine all these millions of people coming and
they're looking around, and there's guys with their pants around
their ankles, and there.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
They're firing logs.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Out other crazy people. Lindsay Horvath says, this is dehumanization.
The county will keep doing what's right, focusing on humane,
lasting solutions to homelessness. Lindsay Horvath, you are a complete bubblehead.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
All your methods have failed failed. Shut up. You're just
wasting money, and you know you are.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
All your nonprofit friends are running off with the loot
knit the Iraman knit. The Araman chair of the city
council Housing and Homelessness Committee. She's one of the nuttiest
of them all. She's in charge of the committee. The
repercussions would be staggering. No, the streets would be clean,
they'd all be gone. Imagine if they're all gone. I
(16:31):
want to see this happen so bad. Yeah, he's gotta
you know what, He's just gotta come here. Jonas Hans says,
this is what tyrants do. Then bring on a tyrant.
Jennis Han. You had ten years, you accomplish nothing, total failure,
and all your buddies in the homeless, nonprofit industry got
rich on our money. That's what happened. Everybody knows it.
(16:54):
You know it. Stop with your fake outrage, big phony.
We got Tony Strickland comeing on next, Huntington Beach, Republican
state Senator. He's going to talk about Newsom's absurd redistricting
plan that he had his stupid pep rally over.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Today.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
We are here every day from one until four o'clock.
Quite a program today. I don't have time to go
through it. You got to listen to it. It's gonna
be posted as a podcast after four o'clock. John Cobelt
Show on Demand. A lot of it on Gavin Newsom's
circus today promoting his redistricting plan, and downtown LA and
Ice showing up to arrest one guy running a strawberry cart,
(17:39):
which caused Karen Bass to come running out screaming. We're
gonna play her screaming next segment. I'm on all the
screaming clips that we've had today. We'll play the last segment,
but first I've been screaming I'm a horse. We've got
our next guest, Tony Strickland. He is the state Senator
(18:03):
from Manhattan Beach and he's coming on to talk about
Newsom's redistricting nonsense, Tony, how are you.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I'm fantastic. How are you?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I'm good? It was quite the day this morning.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
You probably saw Politico has a poll sixty four percent
of Californians don't want redistricting. They don't want to get
rid of the commission because they voted it in on
a referendum fifteen years ago, and it's got even more
support today than it did fifteen years ago, sixty four
to thirty six.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Do you see that correct? Correct? I mean California is
a minte. It clear that they want a non partisan
redistricting commission. They want apoll transparency. What we have currently
here in California as they draw the lines in public
in front of everybody, they have in our constitution that
they try to keep communities of interest together as much
(18:57):
as they possibly can. And what got the news and
wants to do is go behind closed doors, draw these
lines with a couple of his legislative leaders behind closed doors,
and have zero transparency and throughout the communities of interest
there might be a situation where you live in an
area and your congress person lives one hundred and fifty
(19:18):
miles to two hundred miles away from you. They're going
to slice and dice California to achieve their partisan goals.
And Democrats, independence and Republicans across the state of California,
and people who have common sense know that we have
the gold standard here that we have full transparency in
a system where politicians don't pick their constituents, the constituents
(19:40):
actually pick their representatives.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Rigging a system where the Democrats are already up forty
three to nine, so they could be up forty nine
to three.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I mean that is a little much by drawing that question.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And when we talked about statewide election results, the Republicans
usually get around forty two to forty three percent of
the vote, but even currently now the legislature it's only
twenty percent. So we're already underrepresented in terms of with
actual votes that come out throughout the state of California.
But again, we have a system right now that those
(20:16):
lines are drawn in public in front of everybody as
a non partisan commission. And the poll from Politico this
morning just shows that the again it has over sixty
percent of the vote in California.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So so what's he doing.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Is this a big emotional manipulation just so he's got
all this attention on him and he stands there, he
looks presidential and he's got all those happy seals waving
signs like he's at the Democratic Convention, just to enhance
his public image. He knows this whole thing is a
big turn and it's going to get flush.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Yeah. No, And by the way, today it was nothing
but a campaign rally, and they use government taxpayer money
for campaign purposes, because that's all today was was a
campaign rally, and it was done all and accordinated all
by the official governor's office that's paid for by the taxpayers.
(21:08):
And I believe one of my colleagues and the Assembly
is already the complaint with a Fair Political Practice Commission
because you're not allowed to use taxpayer money for campaign purposes.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Yeah, this is this is really getting abusive because he's
got an unpopular measure that nobody asked for and and
turned it into this big media event, this big rally.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I mean, it's it's just galling what he does. But
if the thing blows up aren't.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Isn't that going to give him a whiff of a loser.
To some extent, I.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Called the newsom Jerrymander gamble. You know, he he is
definitely gambling his future. He looks for any way possible, though,
to try to get national news. That's why he's used
a lot of tax payer money to give Attorney Rob
Monta the ability that anytime the federal government does anything,
they sue to get press coverage. But they all lose
(22:08):
all those lawsuits moving forward, you know, and no one
really follows it. It's it's him just wanting to get
national media attention so he could rent for president of
the United States. What we're lacking here in California is
actually a governor that does his job. He says, all
his time figuring out try how he's going to rent
for president of the United States, and he doesn't even
do the job that he was elected to do and
(22:30):
be governor of California.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
We've got the highest gas prices by far, highest electricity rates.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Double look at John. The one thing I like to
point out is he couldn't put in two hundred million
dollars for Proposition thirty six to keep us safe as
the initiative past seventy percent of the vote across the
state of California, all fifty eight counties. But he found
two hundred million dollars to put this power grab on
the ballot.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Yeah, oh no, it's really disgusting, but we got it,
really is. We got the highest sales tax, highs income tax,
iized gas task text, double the electricity rates, highest unemployment rate,
most highest percentage on Medicaid, highest percentage on poverty. We
got seventy thousand homeless just in La County. He blew
(23:15):
billions of dollars in homeless money. He can't find it.
Billions of dollars a high speed rail, nobody can find it.
Billions of dollars on unemployment, money for COVID, nobody can
find it. Tell me why an opponent, a Republican, an independent,
somebody can't put together a case to win the governorship
(23:37):
and end this nonsense. I don't understand it. There's like,
there's like ten issues, any one of them alone people
could use to run a winning campaign. There's got to
be somebody who's got the capabilities. There's got to be
some money out there to back a candidate who just
has to you know, read those six or eight things I.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Just read without without questions on it. In fact, in fact,
you're looking a lot that Cans that are campaigning around
the state. For example, this nonsense of.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Getting rid of gas powered cars. Some of the Cans
running for governor already campaign against that. My guess is,
whoever the next governor of California is one of the
first things they're going to do is pull the plug
on the.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
High speed rail, and that whoever that governor is is
going to be incredibly popular day one, because they're going
to step in and get rid of some of the
nonsense that this governor's had by far no one. When
I was in the legislature, I was very young back
in the day with Gray Davis and I sued him
in a lawsuit. Strickland, b Davis, and you were right
(24:41):
there pushing for a full disclosure and transparency. But you know,
I never thought I would say that Gray Davis will
be better than anybody. But he's certainly better than Gavin Newsom.
And that's saying a love.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Dan Newson is quite destructive. All right, Tony Strickland, thank
you for coming on with us.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Thanks for having me on. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
He's a Republican state senator from Manhattan. Beach.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
All right, you want Huntington Beach. I always put him
in Manhattan or I put him in Herosta a couple
of weeks ago. Yeah, Seal Beach is next coming up.
We're gonna play you. Karen Bass screaming. We're gonna play
a candidate for governor in South Carolina Democrat. He's screaming too.
It's a lot of people screaming. I bleeped Lorena Gonzales too, Okay, good,
(25:25):
I wanted to run Lorena Gonzalez. Yes, she was screaming
during Newsom's rally today and she dropped an F bomb which.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Got through, but we deleted it over the air.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
But probably would it be on the podcast, No, it
won't be on the Pope won't be on the podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
But they didn't bleep it during the actual press conference.
That's right.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
I heard there were other people, yes, unleashing F bombs.
All right, so crazy people coming up along with the mayor.
Kf I am six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Moist line is eight seven seven Moist Davy six. The
last call.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
It's going to be tomorrow twice three o'clock hour eight
seven seven moist eighty six of the talkback feature on
the iHeartRadio app. To just have a couple of minutes,
I want to go through a quick review of today's
crazy people. Let's start with Loraina Gonzalez. She's a union
head who spoke at Newsome's PEP rally for redistricting.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
They were told, even our Republican members, that he was
for working people, that somehow he cared about bringing manufacturing
and jobs back to America and to make sure that
working people were taken care of. And what has he done.
He has systematically destroyed our federal government unions by abolishing
basically collective bargaining agreements that were decades in the making.
(26:43):
He has taken away the right to collectively bargain of
every employee he possibly can, and.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
That is not pro worker.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
So we tell our members who believed him, it's okay,
he lied.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
She used bad word. There apparently a number of Newsom speakers.
So he stands there in his stupid blue suit. Well,
everybody's dropping f bombs all over the place. He was
looking real awkward in the background, just being like, oh,
I didn't think they were going to go off the
rails like that. Well, we're in a Gonzales is insane,
I mean, not heard her for years. Just a screaming knee.
By the way, just a correction. Government employees are not workers,
(27:24):
all right, So stop that, all right, now, let's go
to our lunatic mayor. She heard that a guy selling
strawberries from a cart had been detained by ice in
front of Newsom's event, and when she heard about it,
she ran into the street, presumably clothed, and started screaming,
(27:44):
listen to your mayor, Karen Bass, why.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Would you do that?
Speaker 5 (27:48):
That is unbelievably disrespectful. It's a provocative act. They're talking
about disorder in Los Angeles, and they are the sort
of the disorder in Los Angeles right now. This is
just come deletely unacceptable. This is a administration, this is
a customs and border patrol that has gone amok. This
absolutely has to sup There was no danger here, there
(28:11):
was no need to detain anyone here, and there was
certainly no need to have a provocative act right here
where the governor is having a threat company.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
And finally, this is a candidate, a major Democratic candidate
for governor in South Carolina, a Democrat. He had a
bad incident last May, and the tape is just surfaced
after a Freedom of Information Act request. He's known as
Mullins McLoud. He is an attorney, prominent attorney in Charleston,
(28:41):
South Carolina, and back in May. Now here you have
to imagine a little bit. They found him standing in
the street wearing nothing but underwear and his shoes. And
apparently from what I've read, he's one of the top
candidates for governor.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Mill William can I talk to you?
Speaker 9 (29:08):
Were getting off my guess, Hey, Darren Matthew, My flames
were started.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
At bud.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
That guy Mullins McLeod. William McLeod is his legal name.
He's an attorney and a prominent Charleston Democrat. He announced
Monday he's running for governor. And then this tape service
and we didn't even get to the guy who threw
the subway sandwich at the border patrol agent. And now
(29:46):
he's gonna maybe go to federal prison for a year.
No word on the type of sandwich we've got conway here.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
This show got a really big show.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
But first, you know, throughout the fires, the riots, the
water shortage up in the North. I never heard Mayor
Bazdat animated about all any of those.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Issues, any of them. One guy's selling strawberries and she
goes nuts.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Yeah yeah, she fights for that one guy, but not
the red the whole city.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That's crazy.
Speaker 6 (30:12):
We have steph Ush's mom and dad coming in. You know,
he got in a car accident a week ago, actually
a week ago today, and the two guys that saved
Two of the five people that saved his life are
also here. Rick Chambers with KTLA is here, So it's
gonna be on Channel five news. But the parents are
going to meet the people who saved their son's life
for the very first time right here on KFI.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
All right, big deal coming up in minutes, so don't
go anywhere. Conway Krozier is the news live in the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 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
