Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one it's four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand
on the iHeart app. John Fleischman's coming on here. John
has a political site called sodoesitmatter dot com? So does
(00:22):
it matter? Dot com? And he has been chronicling this
ridiculous Proposition fifty, which is a referendum that Newsom jammed
onto the ballot. It would take away the independent commission
that draws the congressional district lines and put it in
the hands of Newsom's friends. And if you're a Newsome friend,
(00:47):
one of the perks is you might end up with
your own congressional seat when this is all over. Because
there are some Democratic legislative leaders who are getting termed out,
which means they're at the end of the line politically
to serve in this state, and they need another taxpayer
(01:08):
paid job to go to. And so Newsom's plan is
to draw them a new district just of their very own.
So Prop fifty path passes, Newsom's friends in the legislature
get their own congressional seats. Really would you expect otherwise? Well,
let's get John fleischmannon to give us the details of this. John,
(01:31):
how are you.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I'm doing fine, John, You nailed it. That's exactly what's
going on here. And so this thing is a big,
you know, craft sandwich. Anyway, it already is blatantly written
in order to change five congressional districts in California from
Republican to Democrat and take a bunch of other seats
(01:55):
that are competitive and make them all.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Safe Democrat seats.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And for those people that aren't familiar with this, California's
got fifty two House seats and right now only seventeen
percent of those seats are represented by Republicans, even though
Republicans got about forty percent of the vote in California
last November. And when this goes through, instead of being
seventeen percent, it drops to like five or six percent.
(02:22):
It's this tiny well, out of fifty two seats, Republicans
would be in like four of them. And so it's
totally ridiculous. But as you pointed out, the best way
to talk about the deception and the corruption that's going
on with this is to talk about this ability of
writing districts. As we say, with this measure, instead of you,
(02:44):
the people listening to this program, choosing who you want
to represent, you, the politicians stick their voters. And so
what they do is they chop up all the lines
so that there aren't enough conservatives in anyone given area
to make a different and they just kind of draw
the lines. In some cases they draw lines straight up
the middle of the street, so if you live on
(03:05):
one side of the street, you're in one district and
on the other side of the street the other. And
then what I think. I'm on the program today because
I was pointing out that the poster child for the
deception is the president of the California State Senate.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
His name is Mike McGuire.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
And if you look at a map of California, imagine
up in California Wine Country, Napa, Sonoma.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
He's from the Sonoma area.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And where he lives in his term limited seat, He's
already got a Congressman, Jared Huffman, who's a younger man.
He's not going anywhere. But magically, through the hocus pocus
of the new line drawing, they take a conservative seat
representative in the north part of the state by a
congressman named Doug Lamofa and they retool the district and
(03:52):
turn it into a seat that overwhelmingly voted for Kamala
Harris and he gets in it and there's no income
there and it's a brand new seat for and to run.
As a matter of fact, and I'm not trying to
pimp my wares, but if you go to sowdesitmatter dot
com and you click on the story, it's right at
the top. I literally put the maps there and so
(04:12):
you can see what it used to look like and
if this passes, what it does look like, and you
should share it with people. It's just outrageous what they do.
And that's just one anecdotal example in a big state,
and it reinforces why the voters were so correct to
take this power away from the legislature in the first place.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Really bad.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It passed in twenty ten sixty one to thirty nine.
People understood the issue, and that's why it passed overwhelmingly
because they not only wanted it dis corruption.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, not only did it pass by that wide margin,
I think in the June election, but then the legislature
got mad and they put a repeal of it on
the November ballot, and it got. The repeal of it
got defeated by a bigger margin.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Than the passing of it.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So there's been three different votes statewide for a redistricting
commission that have all passed. And again, this is all
about Newsom's run for president.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Actually, if you want to go back to the nucleus
of it.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
The guy is raising tens of millions of dollars. And
we talked about this the last time I was on
But the money that is coming in to sell this vs.
Redistricting plan is coming from.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Well, first of all, George Soros just.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Put in ten million bucks. But then on top of it,
labor unions have now put in close to twenty million dollars.
It was when I first was talking with you about it,
it was just a few millions. Now they're up to
tens of millions of dollars.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
The SEIU, the CTA, the.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
California Labor Federation members, they're all just putting in the
money because the dirty little secret, which is not so secret,
is what Gavin.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Newsom gives them in return are higher.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Wages, regulations, every everything that they could possibly get from
the government, even Netflix. Even Netflix, the owner of Network,
the largest shareholder owner of Netflix put shareholder he put
two million dollars. The founder of Netflix, he put two
million dollars into this measure.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
And it took me like two seconds.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
To figure out, Wow, Netflix has already gotten eighty million
dollars of the new film tax credits from the state
of California.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
That's a pretty good return. I'll give you two million,
you give me eighty million. And it's I mean, the
corruption is.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Just really that is really gross.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
It's really bad.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But I really would encourage if you've got the time, folks,
go literally look at the map and said, so doesnmatter
dot com. If you look at this map, this is
what you need to take and forward around to people.
As a matter of fact, maybe I can convince John
to put a link on his website then instead of
you go, everyone knows how to get there. But this
is the corruption that we're talking about, and it's absolutely awful.
(07:02):
And the reason why everyone listening needs to do something
is because this thing is narrowly ahead in the polls.
And the reason that's ahead in the polls is that
Newsom is trying to make this into a Trump versus
Newsom fight, and the reality is we are all locked
in a blue state. There's a lot there's a couple
million more Democrats than Republicans in the state, and so
(07:25):
if it's framed as kind of Republican versus Democrat, it
probably passes.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
But you know, I've seen I've seen some of the drawings,
and it connects some rural or desert areas with some
urban neighborhoods. So that's exactly the areas who've had Republican
congress representation for decades are now going to see that
they're going to be sharing the district with all these
(07:51):
inner city Democrats and they're going to lose their congressman.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I live I live in I live in an area
of Orange County called Jorba Linda, which.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Is kind of horset Country for us, and my new
representative is a woman named.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Linda Sanchez from East LA. Because they just draw the
line or the best example, imagine everybody listening, imagine you
lived in a house in the far northernmost right hand
corner of the state, so up by Oregon Way, past
Lake Tahoe, all the way up there. Your member of
Congress lives about ten minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge
(08:24):
in San Francisco. Yeah, hundreds of miles away, because that's
what they're seeking to dopping.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Up wherever they are from, from the northeast corner to
San Francisco, Yes.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
The northern end of the Golden gate Bridge, all of
the way to this top right hand corner. It's absolutely crazy.
And then and we're everybody listening. We're just giving you
a couple of examples, and you could go on and
on and on, and the whole the whole thing was,
it was literally they drew the map saying, how you know,
(08:59):
let's get these bill vote for anything, right. And then
when you look, it's even worse when you look at
the brochure that's being sent out that tells you, you know,
here of the district the lines are so you.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Know, I don't know what you want to call it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You're pulled back so far you can't even really see
any details. They're betting that no one's going to take
the time to go to the State of California website
to pull up the really detailed maps.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I got to watch you how.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Bad it is.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
John, I gotta do this. Thank you for coming on,
John Fleischman. So does itmatter dot com and you should
go to the site and look at the maps and
you'll see just vote this, vote quote this down, kill this. Uh,
that'd be No. One Proposition fifty.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock the
Moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven
mois eighty six, or usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio
app over the weekend, and we talked to this quite
a bit. Yesterday Gavin Newsom signed a bill that says
federal officials, federal ice agents cannot wear masks.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
When they do their immigration rates.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
And there was a lot of pompous preening and chest
beating on the part of Newsom. And I told you
yesterday this one is easy to deal with. It is
simply unconstitutional, obviously unconstitutional. So if anybody files a lawsuit,
Newsom loses. But you know it's even better than him
(10:34):
losing a lawsuit in about five minutes, is that Department
of Homeland Security says.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
We are not going to comply, period. They're not even
going to listen.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They flicked him off like a pesky fly buzzing over
your potato salad at your outdoor picnic. The post was
on X by the DEPARTM and Homeland Security and it says,
to be clear, we will not capital not comply with
(11:08):
Gavin Newsom's unconstitutional mask band.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
At a time that ice law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Faces get this, a one thousand percent increase in assaults
and their family members are being doxed and targeted. The
sitting governor of California signed unconstitutional legislation that strips law
enforcement of protections in a disgusting, diabolical fundraising and pr stunt.
(11:35):
I don't know who wrote that, but they get some
sort of reward, some kind of prize that is perfect.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's a public relations stunt for his stupid presidential campaign.
And I can't wait to see that thing exploded to
a million pieces. Once he gets it going, his own
party is going to take him out of art. Everybody
hates him in his own party. You remember there they
have a National Governor's Conference every year and Republican and Democrats,
(12:08):
and they asked Chris Sanunu, who was the New Hampshire
governor at the time. It's like, uh, is there a
governor that nobody likes? And Sanunu right away said, oh, yeah,
Gavin Newsom. Everybody thinks he's an a.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Hole, but he's so handsome.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
But I no, he's so cute.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He's uh governor McDreamy and uh and then and then
sun who added Andrew Cuomo as well. But it's like
those two guys by far, nobody likes him. And and
you're gonna see he goes up on a debate stage.
There's gonna be six or eight other candidates up there,
and they're all going to tear Newsom up because he's
heading the polls because his name is out there and
(12:50):
nobody else's name is out there, and he's appealing to
the fringe lunatic fanatics. But those people don't get you
elected president. You need normal people to vote for you.
Nobody normal is going to.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Vote for Newsome.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Now, you know what's funny, And this disappoints me. Fox
LA has a story on this on their website, and
the way they the way they write it, the legislation
is aimed at increasing public trust in law enforcement and
pushing back on federal overreach in response to the recent
(13:23):
immigration rates. They write it as if it's true. It
is not federal overreach. It's exactly what they're supposed to do.
They're supposed to round up illegal aliens and deport them.
That's their job. You just haven't seen it before in
your lifetime.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Shape.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh, you know, there's an't even a name attached to this.
This is the Fox eleven Digital team. Oh, for god's sakes,
the digital team that's the community college graduates. And it's
a if it's an a one thousand percent increase in assaults.
And you know what doxing is not everybody does, but
(14:00):
it's going on. It's finding out somebody's name, going on
the internet, finding out where they live, getting their photo,
publicizing all the private information you can find and you
can find a lot of it online now, especially with
those private private services. You know, you pay like fifteen dollars,
and you can get every single thing person's ever involved
involved in all the homes that they've owned and whatever
(14:22):
their property records are, for example, and their legal records,
jobs they've had. You could find out their friends, other
family members, and track down their names and addresses and
phone numbers, addresses, vote. Yeah, and what they do is
(14:43):
they terrorize people, people get terrorized through docsing. That's what
Gavin Newsome wants to do. And Karen Bass the reason
they support this, and they finance groups that do this
with tax money.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's their only lapid.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
They're only weapon is to intimidate these ICE agents into
quitting because.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What they're proposing is unconstitutional. They have no power.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I'll say this a thousand times, Gavin Newsom and Karen
Bass have no actual power. What they're proposing is unconstitutional
and it's wrong. It's only going to end up with
ICE agents getting killed, which is I think what they want.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I hate to accuse somebody of this, but look what's happening,
Look what's happening in the world. You send out private
information to the fanatics who are so anti ICE. But
that's what Gavin Newsom does. He's like this spoiled little
braddy rich boy. He thinks it's funny when we come
(15:48):
back along those lines. He put out a he put
out that weird threat against Christy Nome saying that Christy
Nome is going to have a very bad day. You're welcome,
America and over this stupid, unconstitutional illegal mask law. Well,
Christino went on TV to talk about that yesterday. We'll
play you that when we returned.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You were talking about the meteor, the meteor the media
that I saw that an asteroid had a chance at
hitting us. Yes, too, and they downgraded the likelihood of
that happening.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
I'm so sorry, and it's.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Now likely to miss the Earth. And I was so
sad you are, Yeah, I mean because that would not
just take out your house, that would just take care.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Would that take out your bunk or two?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Probably Yeah, it'd be dinosaur time again, you know when
the dinosaurs got.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Wiped out by the Yeah, why would you want that?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Why would I want that? Boy, it's not obvious. I
don't know if I can explain it. But there's still
a four percent chance that could hit the Moon, which
is fat fascinating, And so they're thinking about maybe trying
to take a shot at the asteroid to deflect it
so it misses the Moon. Of course, they may deflect
(17:12):
it and it'll hit here. It'll probably land on Woodland Hills. Yeah, yes,
if it hits If it hits the moon, does that
mean we lose nighttime or what.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, we'd still have night time.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I don't think, Well, we wouldn't might not have tides anymore, right,
because the tides are pulled by the moon, we wouldn't
have moonlight anymore. And I don't know where all those
moon particles would go. Now, now those could could fly
into the atmosphere. There's danger and land on your house. Yeah,
let's just.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Be ignorant and just you know, not even think about
all this.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
One day something's going to hit us.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Oh, I'm sure. I just hope I'm dead.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Not a moment too soon. I'll be doing a happy dance.
All right, let's go on to uh.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I was just talking about how the Department of Homeland
Security made it clear today in a post will they
are not following Newsom says. They said it's unconstitutional, they're
not even considering it. They are still going to have
their ice agents wear masks, so basically they're telling him
to stick it. And Newsom the other day did something
(18:21):
really nasty. He put out this weird, threatening, menacing message
to Christy Nolan, who is running the Department of Homeland Security,
saying that Christy Noman is going to have a bad
day today. You're welcome America. It's really snotty. And of
course he's got these snotty weirdos on his staff who
write this stuff. But he approves it. He didn't it's
(18:42):
in his name, and he didn't withdraw it. He heard
about it. He was fine with it. He is fine
with I mean, I mean, that's bullying, it's sexist, it's bullying.
She's a mother, she's got kids, and you're telling you're
giving a.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Signal that this is just by the way.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
A few days after Charlie Kirk, right after Charlie Kirk,
Christy Noman is going to have a bad day. I mean,
that is just so stupid and nasty.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
And Bill A.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Saley, the acting US Attorney here in the Central District, LA,
he immediately said that they're reporting k Newsome to the
Secret Service for a full threat assessment. He wants them
to investigate, saying, we have zero talents for direct or
implicit threats against government officials. And that's what Newsome did.
(19:31):
He's going to have She's gonna have a bad day.
You're welcome, America.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And it was this stupid.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Mask bill, which he knows is unconstitutional. And know them
they put out a post today saying we're not following it. Sorry,
what are you gonna do? She went on Hannity Show
last night on Fox to talk about it.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Well, it was cryptic, and it was really menacing, I
would say, Sean, it immediately panicked my family and friends within.
I would say, a couple of minutes of that being posted,
I started to get text messages and phone calls a family,
my kids saying are you okay? Mom? You know, are
you fine? They know the threats that I've had, They
know the threats that they've had, the things that have
(20:11):
happened to them because of politicians like this that say
things and somebody grabs onto them that has an agenda,
the cartels and criminals that have threatened our family already.
So when you get a post like that by a governor, immediately,
you know, my staff and family think what is going on?
What does he mean? And we're trying to figure it out. So,
(20:32):
you know, this is a day and age where we've
always known that words matter, but there's been real consequences
that we have realized that have happened to incredible people
like Charlie that we'll have to live with forever. And
I hope we all learn from that. I hope we
all learned that it's time to start listening to each other,
having civil discourse and stop ridiculous, irresponsible posts like Governor
(20:56):
k Newsom put out there.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, it's way worse than anything Jimmy Kimmel said. I
mean that that.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Is he's a sociopath.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Here's no conscience, all right, He's a narcissistic sociopath. That
is a whole go look that up. It's a whole
personality type. And he exhibits those qualities every day. He
cannot be shamed. He has no conscience, he's a pathological liar,
and and he's being a nasty Christine UM's doing her job.
I think Tom Homan said it best. If you don't
(21:26):
like this, have Congress change the law. The law is
written exactly as is, and they are doing what the
law says. You've just never seen it before because we
had such idiotic presidents from both parties who created this
absurd issue. Now here's another story which amused me. Ice
(21:51):
The ice raids were all over lay during the summertime,
and as it happened, according to the La Times, there
was a major decrease in LAPD calls for service, that's right,
like nine to one one calls dropped, steep decline. I
(22:13):
didn't know this, but you know a third of the
population in la is foreign born, legally illegal. And when
the immigration raids start, LAPD calls for service fell immediately
by twenty eight percent, twelve hundred fewer calls a day,
twelve hundred in a two week span. It dropped from
(22:35):
sixty one thousand total calls to forty four thousand. And
serious crimes dropped as long as the little stuff you know,
noisy neighbors, loud parties and all that dropped dramatically once
you got rid of the illegal aliens. Now the Times
(22:56):
tried to frame this as well. People are now intimidated.
Now you havevictims of crimes afraid to call. And I thought,
that's awfully presumptuous of you. You have no idea why
it dropped. You just know what dropped. How about this one?
The government deported a lot of illegal alien criminals, or
(23:18):
a lot of them self deported.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
How about that.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Calls for domestic abuse were down? Well, maybe a lot
of the wife beaters left the country. Maybe they were
forced out of the country. I mean they did target
primarily criminals. So you target criminals, you admit that a
huge percentage of Los Angeles is made up of illegal aliens,
(23:45):
and then you target illegal aliens and then the crime
rate goes down. You target criminal illegal aliens, and the
crime rate was down. Well, lapd ought to be touting, Hey,
crimes lower, look at our methods are working.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
We're great.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
No, Instead they insist that crime is exactly the same.
I mean, Trump and Homan went out of their way
to deport literally tens of thousands of criminals across the country.
You end up with lower crime. And they go, well, no,
it's just people won't report the crime. Well, if deport
(24:24):
the criminals, who is there to commit the crimes? That
is what phony Belgoney biased reporting is. Who wrote this
Leebor Janey and Hallie Wang atrocious reporting. They make an
assumption and they have no way.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Of proving that. And just think for a moment.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Maybe maybe it's because a lot of criminals have left
the city.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Maybe possibly you're listening to John Cobels on demand from.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
KFI A six moistline seven moyst eighty six eight seven
seven moyst eighty six right after Deborah's News at three o'clock,
We're going to talk with Brooke Schaefer, a reporter from
News Nation, and she covered today the trial and the
conviction of the second guy who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump,
(25:21):
Ryan Ruth and as soon as he found out, he
stabbed himself in the neck with a pen right in
the courtroom. And Brook Schaeffer News Nation. She'll be on
in just a few minutes right after Debrah's done at
the three o'clock News. One more quickie follow up. I
told you that Christy Nome, despite.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
The weird.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
You could take it as a death threat from gather
Newsom online. She said definitively today on X that Department
of Homeland Security will not concern itself with the anti
mask law here in California. Some constitutional no need for
further discussion. What's funny is while they're trying to do
(26:10):
this in stupid California, they've already banned immigration enforcement at courthouses.
You know, there's a lot of illegal aliens who commit crimes,
and Ice likes to show up and grab them as
they're coming in or leaving. They're not supposed to do
it in the courthouse. But in fact they're not supposed
(26:31):
to be anywhere near these illegal aliens once they show
up for their hearings. Well, ICE is detaining people there anyway,
saying it's a safe place. Here's one particular case. A
Jennifer her brother convicted of domestic violence last year. Yeah,
(26:52):
I wonder how many wife beaters have been deported. He
got a one year intervention program. Oh that's great, that's right.
Beat your wife, beat your girlfriend, get one year intervention.
That's California. And he was in a Fresno County courtroom.
The judge told to me, done a good job. He graduated,
(27:14):
and somebody came up to him, got in his face
and said his name, said Jennifer, and they grabbed him.
I tried to get between him. Turns out it was
ICE agents. As they shoved him in a car, a plane,
beat up van. Then one of them asked if they
should wait for the other guy, and somebody said no,
we're good with this one threw him in the car.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
He's in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Deported domestic abuser out of the country. That's the way
it should work. We'll talk with Brook Schaeffer from News
Nation about Ryan Ruth, who tried to kill Donald Trump.
That was the second attempt last summer. That's next, Debra
Mark Live in the CAFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You
(27:56):
can always hear the show live on KFI AM six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one it's four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand
on the iHeart app. John Fleischman's coming on here. John
has a political site called sodoesitmatter dot com? So does
(00:22):
it matter? Dot com? And he has been chronicling this
ridiculous Proposition fifty, which is a referendum that Newsom jammed
onto the ballot. It would take away the independent commission
that draws the congressional district lines and put it in
the hands of Newsom's friends. And if you're a Newsome friend,
(00:47):
one of the perks is you might end up with
your own congressional seat when this is all over. Because
there are some Democratic legislative leaders who are getting termed out,
which means they're at the end of the line politically
to serve in this state, and they need another taxpayer
(01:08):
paid job to go to. And so Newsom's plan is
to draw them a new district just of their very own.
So Prop fifty path passes, Newsom's friends in the legislature
get their own congressional seats. Really would you expect otherwise? Well,
let's get John fleischmannon to give us the details of this. John,
(01:31):
how are you.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I'm doing fine, John, You nailed it. That's exactly what's
going on here. And so this thing is a big,
you know, craft sandwich. Anyway, it already is blatantly written
in order to change five congressional districts in California from
Republican to Democrat and take a bunch of other seats
(01:55):
that are competitive and make them all.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Safe Democrat seats.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And for those people that aren't familiar with this, California's
got fifty two House seats and right now only seventeen
percent of those seats are represented by Republicans, even though
Republicans got about forty percent of the vote in California
last November. And when this goes through, instead of being
seventeen percent, it drops to like five or six percent.
(02:22):
It's this tiny well, out of fifty two seats, Republicans
would be in like four of them. And so it's
totally ridiculous. But as you pointed out, the best way
to talk about the deception and the corruption that's going
on with this is to talk about this ability of
writing districts. As we say, with this measure, instead of you,
(02:44):
the people listening to this program, choosing who you want
to represent, you, the politicians stick their voters. And so
what they do is they chop up all the lines
so that there aren't enough conservatives in anyone given area
to make a different and they just kind of draw
the lines. In some cases they draw lines straight up
the middle of the street, so if you live on
(03:05):
one side of the street, you're in one district and
on the other side of the street the other. And
then what I think. I'm on the program today because
I was pointing out that the poster child for the
deception is the president of the California State Senate.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
His name is Mike McGuire.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
And if you look at a map of California, imagine
up in California Wine Country, Napa, Sonoma.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
He's from the Sonoma area.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And where he lives in his term limited seat, He's
already got a Congressman, Jared Huffman, who's a younger man.
He's not going anywhere. But magically, through the hocus pocus
of the new line drawing, they take a conservative seat
representative in the north part of the state by a
congressman named Doug Lamofa and they retool the district and
(03:52):
turn it into a seat that overwhelmingly voted for Kamala
Harris and he gets in it and there's no income
there and it's a brand new seat for and to run.
As a matter of fact, and I'm not trying to
pimp my wares, but if you go to sowdesitmatter dot
com and you click on the story, it's right at
the top. I literally put the maps there and so
(04:12):
you can see what it used to look like and
if this passes, what it does look like, and you
should share it with people. It's just outrageous what they do.
And that's just one anecdotal example in a big state,
and it reinforces why the voters were so correct to
take this power away from the legislature in the first place.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Really bad.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It passed in twenty ten sixty one to thirty nine.
People understood the issue, and that's why it passed overwhelmingly
because they not only wanted it dis corruption.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, not only did it pass by that wide margin,
I think in the June election, but then the legislature
got mad and they put a repeal of it on
the November ballot, and it got. The repeal of it
got defeated by a bigger margin.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Than the passing of it.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
So there's been three different votes statewide for a redistricting
commission that have all passed. And again, this is all
about Newsom's run for president.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Actually, if you want to go back to the nucleus
of it.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
The guy is raising tens of millions of dollars. And
we talked about this the last time I was on
But the money that is coming in to sell this vs.
Redistricting plan is coming from.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
Well, first of all, George Soros just.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Put in ten million bucks. But then on top of it,
labor unions have now put in close to twenty million dollars.
It was when I first was talking with you about it,
it was just a few millions. Now they're up to
tens of millions of dollars.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
The SEIU, the CTA, the.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
California Labor Federation members, they're all just putting in the
money because the dirty little secret, which is not so secret,
is what Gavin.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Newsom gives them in return are higher.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Wages, regulations, every everything that they could possibly get from
the government, even Netflix. Even Netflix, the owner of Network,
the largest shareholder owner of Netflix put shareholder he put
two million dollars. The founder of Netflix, he put two
million dollars into this measure.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
And it took me like two seconds.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
To figure out, Wow, Netflix has already gotten eighty million
dollars of the new film tax credits from the state
of California.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
That's a pretty good return. I'll give you two million,
you give me eighty million. And it's I mean, the
corruption is.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Just really that is really gross.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
It's really bad.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But I really would encourage if you've got the time, folks,
go literally look at the map and said, so doesnmatter
dot com. If you look at this map, this is
what you need to take and forward around to people.
As a matter of fact, maybe I can convince John
to put a link on his website then instead of
you go, everyone knows how to get there. But this
is the corruption that we're talking about, and it's absolutely awful.
(07:02):
And the reason why everyone listening needs to do something
is because this thing is narrowly ahead in the polls.
And the reason that's ahead in the polls is that
Newsom is trying to make this into a Trump versus
Newsom fight, and the reality is we are all locked
in a blue state. There's a lot there's a couple
million more Democrats than Republicans in the state, and so
(07:25):
if it's framed as kind of Republican versus Democrat, it
probably passes.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
But you know, I've seen I've seen some of the drawings,
and it connects some rural or desert areas with some
urban neighborhoods. So that's exactly the areas who've had Republican
congress representation for decades are now going to see that
they're going to be sharing the district with all these
(07:51):
inner city Democrats and they're going to lose their congressman.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I live I live in I live in an area
of Orange County called Jorba Linda, which.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Is kind of horset Country for us, and my new
representative is a woman named.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Linda Sanchez from East LA. Because they just draw the
line or the best example, imagine everybody listening, imagine you
lived in a house in the far northernmost right hand
corner of the state, so up by Oregon Way, past
Lake Tahoe, all the way up there. Your member of
Congress lives about ten minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge
(08:24):
in San Francisco. Yeah, hundreds of miles away, because that's
what they're seeking to dopping.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Up wherever they are from, from the northeast corner to
San Francisco, Yes.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
The northern end of the Golden gate Bridge, all of
the way to this top right hand corner. It's absolutely crazy.
And then and we're everybody listening. We're just giving you
a couple of examples, and you could go on and
on and on, and the whole the whole thing was,
it was literally they drew the map saying, how you know,
(08:59):
let's get these bill vote for anything, right. And then
when you look, it's even worse when you look at
the brochure that's being sent out that tells you, you know,
here of the district the lines are so you.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
Know, I don't know what you want to call it.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You're pulled back so far you can't even really see
any details. They're betting that no one's going to take
the time to go to the State of California website
to pull up the really detailed maps.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I got to watch you how.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Bad it is.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
John, I gotta do this. Thank you for coming on,
John Fleischman. So does itmatter dot com and you should
go to the site and look at the maps and
you'll see just vote this, vote quote this down, kill this. Uh,
that'd be No. One Proposition fifty.
Speaker 6 (09:41):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock the
Moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven
mois eighty six, or usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio
app over the weekend, and we talked to this quite
a bit. Yesterday Gavin Newsom signed a bill that says
federal officials, federal ice agents cannot wear masks.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
When they do their immigration rates.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
And there was a lot of pompous preening and chest
beating on the part of Newsom. And I told you
yesterday this one is easy to deal with. It is
simply unconstitutional, obviously unconstitutional. So if anybody files a lawsuit,
Newsom loses. But you know it's even better than him
(10:34):
losing a lawsuit in about five minutes, is that Department
of Homeland Security says.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
We are not going to comply, period. They're not even
going to listen.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
They flicked him off like a pesky fly buzzing over
your potato salad at your outdoor picnic. The post was
on X by the DEPARTM and Homeland Security and it says,
to be clear, we will not capital not comply with
(11:08):
Gavin Newsom's unconstitutional mask band.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
At a time that ice law enforcement.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Faces get this, a one thousand percent increase in assaults
and their family members are being doxed and targeted. The
sitting governor of California signed unconstitutional legislation that strips law
enforcement of protections in a disgusting, diabolical fundraising and pr stunt.
(11:35):
I don't know who wrote that, but they get some
sort of reward, some kind of prize that is perfect.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
It's a public relations stunt for his stupid presidential campaign.
And I can't wait to see that thing exploded to
a million pieces. Once he gets it going, his own
party is going to take him out of art. Everybody
hates him in his own party. You remember there they
have a National Governor's Conference every year and Republican and Democrats,
(12:08):
and they asked Chris Sanunu, who was the New Hampshire
governor at the time. It's like, uh, is there a
governor that nobody likes? And Sanunu right away said, oh, yeah,
Gavin Newsom. Everybody thinks he's an a.
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Hole, but he's so handsome.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
But I no, he's so cute.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
He's uh governor McDreamy and uh and then and then
sun who added Andrew Cuomo as well. But it's like
those two guys by far, nobody likes him. And and
you're gonna see he goes up on a debate stage.
There's gonna be six or eight other candidates up there,
and they're all going to tear Newsom up because he's
heading the polls because his name is out there and
(12:50):
nobody else's name is out there, and he's appealing to
the fringe lunatic fanatics. But those people don't get you
elected president. You need normal people to vote for you.
Nobody normal is going to.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Vote for Newsome.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Now, you know what's funny, And this disappoints me. Fox
LA has a story on this on their website, and
the way they the way they write it, the legislation
is aimed at increasing public trust in law enforcement and
pushing back on federal overreach in response to the recent
(13:23):
immigration rates. They write it as if it's true. It
is not federal overreach. It's exactly what they're supposed to do.
They're supposed to round up illegal aliens and deport them.
That's their job. You just haven't seen it before in
your lifetime.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Shape.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Oh, you know, there's an't even a name attached to this.
This is the Fox eleven Digital team. Oh, for god's sakes,
the digital team that's the community college graduates. And it's
a if it's an a one thousand percent increase in assaults.
And you know what doxing is not everybody does, but
(14:00):
it's going on. It's finding out somebody's name, going on
the internet, finding out where they live, getting their photo,
publicizing all the private information you can find and you
can find a lot of it online now, especially with
those private private services. You know, you pay like fifteen dollars,
and you can get every single thing person's ever involved
involved in all the homes that they've owned and whatever
(14:22):
their property records are, for example, and their legal records,
jobs they've had. You could find out their friends, other
family members, and track down their names and addresses and
phone numbers, addresses, vote. Yeah, and what they do is
(14:43):
they terrorize people, people get terrorized through docsing. That's what
Gavin Newsome wants to do. And Karen Bass the reason
they support this, and they finance groups that do this
with tax money.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's their only lapid.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
They're only weapon is to intimidate these ICE agents into
quitting because.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What they're proposing is unconstitutional. They have no power.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
I'll say this a thousand times, Gavin Newsom and Karen
Bass have no actual power. What they're proposing is unconstitutional
and it's wrong. It's only going to end up with
ICE agents getting killed, which is I think what they want.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
I hate to accuse somebody of this, but look what's happening,
Look what's happening in the world. You send out private
information to the fanatics who are so anti ICE. But
that's what Gavin Newsom does. He's like this spoiled little
braddy rich boy. He thinks it's funny when we come
(15:48):
back along those lines. He put out a he put
out that weird threat against Christy Nome saying that Christy
Nome is going to have a very bad day. You're welcome,
America and over this stupid, unconstitutional illegal mask law. Well,
Christino went on TV to talk about that yesterday. We'll
play you that when we returned.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
You were talking about the meteor, the meteor the media
that I saw that an asteroid had a chance at
hitting us. Yes, too, and they downgraded the likelihood of
that happening.
Speaker 7 (16:29):
I'm so sorry, and it's.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Now likely to miss the Earth. And I was so
sad you are, Yeah, I mean because that would not
just take out your house, that would just take care.
Speaker 7 (16:39):
Would that take out your bunk or two?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (16:41):
Probably Yeah, it'd be dinosaur time again, you know when
the dinosaurs got.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Wiped out by the Yeah, why would you want that?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Why would I want that? Boy, it's not obvious. I
don't know if I can explain it. But there's still
a four percent chance that could hit the Moon, which
is fat fascinating, And so they're thinking about maybe trying
to take a shot at the asteroid to deflect it
so it misses the Moon. Of course, they may deflect
(17:12):
it and it'll hit here. It'll probably land on Woodland Hills. Yeah, yes,
if it hits If it hits the moon, does that
mean we lose nighttime or what.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
No, we'd still have night time.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I don't think, Well, we wouldn't might not have tides anymore, right,
because the tides are pulled by the moon, we wouldn't
have moonlight anymore. And I don't know where all those
moon particles would go. Now, now those could could fly
into the atmosphere. There's danger and land on your house. Yeah,
let's just.
Speaker 7 (17:44):
Be ignorant and just you know, not even think about
all this.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
One day something's going to hit us.
Speaker 7 (17:50):
Oh, I'm sure. I just hope I'm dead.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Not a moment too soon. I'll be doing a happy dance.
All right, let's go on to uh.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I was just talking about how the Department of Homeland
Security made it clear today in a post will they
are not following Newsom says. They said it's unconstitutional, they're
not even considering it. They are still going to have
their ice agents wear masks, so basically they're telling him
to stick it. And Newsom the other day did something
(18:21):
really nasty. He put out this weird, threatening, menacing message
to Christy Nolan, who is running the Department of Homeland Security,
saying that Christy Noman is going to have a bad
day today. You're welcome America. It's really snotty. And of
course he's got these snotty weirdos on his staff who
write this stuff. But he approves it. He didn't it's
(18:42):
in his name, and he didn't withdraw it. He heard
about it. He was fine with it. He is fine
with I mean, I mean, that's bullying, it's sexist, it's bullying.
She's a mother, she's got kids, and you're telling you're
giving a.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Signal that this is just by the way.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
A few days after Charlie Kirk, right after Charlie Kirk,
Christy Noman is going to have a bad day. I mean,
that is just so stupid and nasty.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
And Bill A.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Saley, the acting US Attorney here in the Central District, LA,
he immediately said that they're reporting k Newsome to the
Secret Service for a full threat assessment. He wants them
to investigate, saying, we have zero talents for direct or
implicit threats against government officials. And that's what Newsome did.
(19:31):
He's going to have She's gonna have a bad day.
You're welcome, America.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
And it was this stupid.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Mask bill, which he knows is unconstitutional. And know them
they put out a post today saying we're not following it. Sorry,
what are you gonna do? She went on Hannity Show
last night on Fox to talk about it.
Speaker 8 (19:50):
Well, it was cryptic, and it was really menacing, I
would say, Sean, it immediately panicked my family and friends within.
I would say, a couple of minutes of that being posted,
I started to get text messages and phone calls a family,
my kids saying are you okay? Mom? You know, are
you fine? They know the threats that I've had, They
know the threats that they've had, the things that have
(20:11):
happened to them because of politicians like this that say
things and somebody grabs onto them that has an agenda,
the cartels and criminals that have threatened our family already.
So when you get a post like that by a governor, immediately,
you know, my staff and family think what is going on?
What does he mean? And we're trying to figure it out. So,
(20:32):
you know, this is a day and age where we've
always known that words matter, but there's been real consequences
that we have realized that have happened to incredible people
like Charlie that we'll have to live with forever. And
I hope we all learn from that. I hope we
all learned that it's time to start listening to each other,
having civil discourse and stop ridiculous, irresponsible posts like Governor
(20:56):
k Newsom put out there.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Yeah, it's way worse than anything Jimmy Kimmel said. I
mean that that.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Is he's a sociopath.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Here's no conscience, all right, He's a narcissistic sociopath. That
is a whole go look that up. It's a whole
personality type. And he exhibits those qualities every day. He
cannot be shamed. He has no conscience, he's a pathological liar,
and and he's being a nasty Christine UM's doing her job.
I think Tom Homan said it best. If you don't
(21:26):
like this, have Congress change the law. The law is
written exactly as is, and they are doing what the
law says. You've just never seen it before because we
had such idiotic presidents from both parties who created this
absurd issue. Now here's another story which amused me. Ice
(21:51):
The ice raids were all over lay during the summertime,
and as it happened, according to the La Times, there
was a major decrease in LAPD calls for service, that's right,
like nine to one one calls dropped, steep decline. I
(22:13):
didn't know this, but you know a third of the
population in la is foreign born, legally illegal. And when
the immigration raids start, LAPD calls for service fell immediately
by twenty eight percent, twelve hundred fewer calls a day,
twelve hundred in a two week span. It dropped from
(22:35):
sixty one thousand total calls to forty four thousand. And
serious crimes dropped as long as the little stuff you know,
noisy neighbors, loud parties and all that dropped dramatically once
you got rid of the illegal aliens. Now the Times
(22:56):
tried to frame this as well. People are now intimidated.
Now you havevictims of crimes afraid to call. And I thought,
that's awfully presumptuous of you. You have no idea why
it dropped. You just know what dropped. How about this one?
The government deported a lot of illegal alien criminals, or
(23:18):
a lot of them self deported.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
How about that.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Calls for domestic abuse were down? Well, maybe a lot
of the wife beaters left the country. Maybe they were
forced out of the country. I mean they did target
primarily criminals. So you target criminals, you admit that a
huge percentage of Los Angeles is made up of illegal aliens,
(23:45):
and then you target illegal aliens and then the crime
rate goes down. You target criminal illegal aliens, and the
crime rate was down. Well, lapd ought to be touting, Hey,
crimes lower, look at our methods are working.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
We're great.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
No, Instead they insist that crime is exactly the same.
I mean, Trump and Homan went out of their way
to deport literally tens of thousands of criminals across the country.
You end up with lower crime. And they go, well, no,
it's just people won't report the crime. Well, if deport
(24:24):
the criminals, who is there to commit the crimes? That
is what phony Belgoney biased reporting is. Who wrote this
Leebor Janey and Hallie Wang atrocious reporting. They make an
assumption and they have no way.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Of proving that. And just think for a moment.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Maybe maybe it's because a lot of criminals have left
the city.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
Maybe possibly you're listening to John Cobels on demand from.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
KFI A six moistline seven moyst eighty six eight seven
seven moyst eighty six right after Deborah's News at three o'clock,
We're going to talk with Brooke Schaefer, a reporter from
News Nation, and she covered today the trial and the
conviction of the second guy who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump,
(25:21):
Ryan Ruth and as soon as he found out, he
stabbed himself in the neck with a pen right in
the courtroom. And Brook Schaeffer News Nation. She'll be on
in just a few minutes right after Debrah's done at
the three o'clock News. One more quickie follow up. I
told you that Christy Nome, despite.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
The weird.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
You could take it as a death threat from gather
Newsom online. She said definitively today on X that Department
of Homeland Security will not concern itself with the anti
mask law here in California. Some constitutional no need for
further discussion. What's funny is while they're trying to do
(26:10):
this in stupid California, they've already banned immigration enforcement at courthouses.
You know, there's a lot of illegal aliens who commit crimes,
and Ice likes to show up and grab them as
they're coming in or leaving. They're not supposed to do
it in the courthouse. But in fact they're not supposed
(26:31):
to be anywhere near these illegal aliens once they show
up for their hearings. Well, ICE is detaining people there anyway,
saying it's a safe place. Here's one particular case. A
Jennifer her brother convicted of domestic violence last year. Yeah,
(26:52):
I wonder how many wife beaters have been deported. He
got a one year intervention program. Oh that's great, that's right.
Beat your wife, beat your girlfriend, get one year intervention.
That's California. And he was in a Fresno County courtroom.
The judge told to me, done a good job. He graduated,
(27:14):
and somebody came up to him, got in his face
and said his name, said Jennifer, and they grabbed him.
