Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're gonna buy it
beyond every day one till four and now you can
get the podcast at the end of every hour. So
one o'clock hour, we just did where we went extensively
into this La Times report on how Karen Bass lied
(00:21):
she did water down the Palisades fire after action report,
she lied repeatedly to the whole world. We talked about
it quite a bit, and you can hear that on
the podcast, which is being being released any minute now.
And that's why we're gonna do it. At the end
of every hour. We'll put the podcast for that hour.
The iHeartRadio app is where you can find it. All right,
(00:42):
Let's get now to Minneapolis. Luke Barr, ABC News law
enforcement reporter. Looks like some kind of deal has been
made between borders are Tom Holman, who's now in charge
of the Minneapolis immigration operation, and it looks like he's
gonna withdraw some troops and in return there's gonna be
more cooperation from the Minnesota officials. Luke, what's the story here?
(01:11):
There is no Luke. Oh, well, somebody should tell me that, Uh,
all right, we'll get to Luke Barr when he can
come on. We have next hour. I want you to
be listening because we're gonna have Kelly, Kelly waffleron and
(01:35):
she is the head of Trump's small business administration. She
and the EPA had Lee Zelden are in town and
they are going to they have already. I know Zelden's
already met with Karen Bass. I wonder if that was
before or after we found out Bass was telling the
Big why because the Trump administration is fed up, like
(01:56):
everybody is, with the extremely slow progress. I wouldn't even
describe it as progress. It's just at a standstill. Everything's frozen.
And boy, she was the bast was given a speech
or state of the Cesspool steep Beach, and she's actually
talking about all the progress made. I'm telling you she
is shameless, absolutely shameless. But she has, you know, got
(02:18):
an expensive, bright blue suit on and smiles a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And I guess the.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Brain damaged amongst us here in Los Angeles is thinking
she's on top of things. Well she's not. It's the
whole thing has been so botched for thirteen months now,
and she's covering up and lying like hell, Lee Zelden,
we're gonna have him on tomorrow at three o'clock. We're
gonna have Kelly Loffler from the Small Business Administration on
(02:45):
today at three o'clock and let me play some clips.
Lee Zelden was on Fox News earlier about the meetings
he had in Altadena and the Palisades and about the
problems with the permitting, roll cut.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Break through whatever local logjams still exist in Altadena. It
was expressed concerns regarding the impacts of the state insurance
regulatory scheme and the impact that that's had in getting
payments out to people, as well as the local water
systems where they say they have many different water systems
and it's not as efficient. There should be just one
(03:22):
our meeting in the Palisades with La Mayor Karen Bass
focusing on their issues. There are over one thousand permits
that have been kicked back to applicants. We want to
dig deeper as to exactly why that's happening to be
able to get these permits out done quickly. Two fridays ago,
President Trumps signed an executive order implementing Trump's speed for
(03:44):
this permitting process, directing FEMA and SPA to take actions
to make that happen. SBA's already issued a new rule
to implement that executive order, and we're going to do
everything in our power. We're here in the spirit of
a cooperation to help these Americans who lost so much
of their lives, to help them rebuild as quick as
(04:05):
we can, and I would characterize both meetings that we
had this morning as productive. The next stop while we're
here in Palisades is now we're going to meet with
a bunch of the victims and hear their story, their
version of events, and see what we could do to
further assist.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But the Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Administration has been all in since the moment President Trump
was sworn in, bringing the full resources whole of government
to bear to help with the debris removal and the
SBA loans that went out, and we're still here. We
will not stop until la is fully rebuilt.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
All Right.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
That's Lee Zeldon, EPA head who's in charge of the
federal rebuild of the Palisades in Altadena because Bastin Newsom
have failed so badly. We have more from Lee Zeldon
coming up in a little bit. But Luke Barr is
here for MAYBC News law enforcement reporter Adam Minneapolis. Looks
like Tom Homan and the Minnesota officials have reached some
(04:57):
kind of an agreement.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We'll find out. Luke, how are you?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'm good? So tell me what there seems to be
a deal.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I don't know if it's a formal deal, but explain
what the federal government is going to be doing and
what the state officials and local officials are going to
be doing.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yeah. So Tom Holman today basically said that they're drawing
down seven hundred federal agents that are based there in
Minneapolis as part of this Operation Metro Search after you know,
coming to some sort of agreement or some cooperation with
state and local officials that are in Minneapolis. So of
(05:36):
course there's going to be two thousand federal agents still
in Minneapolis. So you think about ICE and CVP. But
this is certainly, you know, an off ramp for the administration,
you know, because they have you know, said that they've
gotten their cooperation, They've gotten you know, they've started taught
to state and locals, and this is apparently has satisfied
(05:58):
at least seven hundred and is being drawn down from the.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
City and also for their part, the Minneapolis officials or
the Minnesota officials are backing down and they're going to
start turning over some criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
How is that going to work?
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Yeah, so Homan kind of said that, you know, they
will notify them when they will you know, you know,
for example, if somebody illegally in the country that's convicted
of a crime or accuse of a crime is out
of jail, right so they can call ICE and notify them.
And Homan has argued all along that that is safer
for federal ages to you know, arrest table.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And what are the numbers here? How many criminals is
Minnesota going to turn over to ICE?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
So it remains because VHS has hit in the past
that there's over thirteen hundred in state and local custody
that have final orders of removals. So what that looks
like in matter in custody, mind you what that looks
like I think from a number's perspective and also I
think from satisfying the administrative the administration perspective kind of
remains to be seen. It's up in the air. Homan
(07:09):
didn't give that many details, and neither have the state
or locals. You know, we're seeing reactions from the governor
and the mayor, but no details like what this actually
looks like.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Do you know if these are convicted criminals or people
charged in awaiting trial.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
So it can be both. It can be convicted criminals
and it also can be people who are charged with
a crime and also illegally in the country.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
So so ICE is going to have these people deported,
whether or not they've had a trial.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Everybody's just going to be taken away.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Well, not exactly, they have to. It depends, right, every
immigration is so circumstantial. But basically, if they have a
final order of removal, which means that their process has
been through an immigration judge, then they will be able
to get supported. However, if they don't, and most of
the most of the ones that DHS has said, you
(08:04):
know that thirteen hundred numbers I mentioned, most of that
number does have that word removal. But the ones that
don't will have to go through you know, the immigration
court process.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, now they're still going to leave over two thousand
ICE agents in Minneapolis, which is a sizeable number. I mean,
all three thousand that were sent up. There were three
thousand extra, So they're only taking out seven hundred. Are
they looking for other concessions from Minnesota officials before they
draw down further?
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Yeah, they didn't actually go into specifics, but they just
basically said, like, if the cooperation continues with the Satan locals,
they will consider drawing out the two thousand that are there.
And mind you, DHS has said that the largest federal
agent deployment in US history was in Minneapolis, with over
three thousand agents from CBP, HSI I at one time.
(08:56):
So this is the historic numbers. And for contact come
homans of the operational plan, the regular plan that they
were going to be putting in place, only saw about
one hundred and fifty agents surged to the city, So
to put that in perspective, it's so much more.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
All right, very good, Thank you, Luke Barr, ABC News
law enforcement reporter up in Minneapolis. Thank you very much.
You know, that's really all home and wanted to begin with,
he wanted the cooperation of local authorities, which most states
are giving ICE. The places where you have officials not
(09:36):
cooperating are the places where you have the riots and
the violence, because then ICE has to send in lots
of troops it looks like it's an invasion. It gets
these subversive anarchist or organizations to have a hook to
justify their violence, and you've got mayhem. But if Minnesota
(10:01):
and California just did the basics, the obvious, turn over
everybody you have in custody, turnover everybody that has an
order of removal against him or her, then everybody all
this all happen peacefully out of the limelight. But Minneapolis, Minnesota,
and California they want the confrontation. They don't care if
(10:24):
there's rioting because otherwise you'd cooperate with federal government, which
again they have complete jurisdiction over immigration.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
The states have no jurisdiction.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
They can come up with all their nonsense about sanctuary
cities and the mask rules, all garbage, all nonsense. It's
not the way the constitution works, and they know it too.
All right, more coming up, you're listening.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
To John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
All right, coming up after three o'clock, we're gonna have
Kelly Loffler on. She's the head of Trump's Small Business Administration.
She and Lee's heldon. He's the head of the EPA
and he's in charge of the federal effort now. Trump
has sent them in to try to speed up this
rebuild quagmire in the Palisades and in Altadena. And Lee
(11:16):
Zelden is coming on with us tomorrow at three. We're
gonna have Kelly Loffler on today at three from the
Small Business Administration, So if you are affected by the fires,
you're gonna want to hear her. And everybody has to
hear the difference between what the Trump people are going
(11:37):
to do and the way Bass and Newsom have been
and the La County Board of Supervisors had been floundering
around because it's been a year. Times up. They failed
again willfully. It's really awful And I want to play
another Lee Zelden clip. He already went on Fox. He
was in the Palisades today. Karen Bass had a particular
(11:59):
assessment of the rebuilding process, and he was active asked
about a play cut number six.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I know you said you had a constructive conversation with
her today.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Do you agree with her.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Assessment that things are getting going and things are moving well.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
There are hundreds of properties that are getting rebuilt, but
it's a very small number that have actually been completed,
and there are thousands more to rebuild, thousands in the Palisades,
thousands in Altadena. So there is so much work that
is still left to get done. And I mean, I
(12:36):
can easily sit here in Monday morning quarterback how we
got to this point with these local logjams that are
in place. But my message to both the LA County
Supervisor and the LA Mayor is very clear on behalf
of President Trump and the Trump administration. Whatever log jam,
whatever obstacle, whatever roadblock is in front of you, that's
(12:58):
in front of us, you know we're here to help
tear through it to make sure that these people can
rebuild their homes. What we want is for a proud
declaration of the many thousands permits that have went out,
the many thousands of homes and businesses that are rebuilt.
And obviously there's a lot more work to be done,
but we want this to be done in the manner
(13:20):
of weeks, not years. And that's why that's why we're
here and we're not leaving.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
He was being diplomatic, which he as to be at
this point, but the truth is it's Bass and the
Alley County Supervisors have presided over a disastrous rebuild. They
really couldn't do it much worse the people who are
getting because I know plenty of people in the Palisades
and the lots that are being rebuilt, often their developers
(13:47):
who are snatching up for cheap from residents who quickly
gave up. They didn't want to live through this nightmare
any further. They sold out for cheap maybe they could
afford to. And those developed kind of haven't know how
to grease their way into the system. I'll put it politely,
but there's a lot of people. In fact, Zelden said
(14:10):
a thousand permits have been submitted and they bounced back
and were returned to the victims. See, she could talk
all she wants about numbers of permits, but you got
a thousand submitted and they're bounced back. Something wrong with
the system there that that's intolerable. California Post talked to
(14:34):
Jessica Rogers, who we've had on the show. She's a
Palisades Park, a Pacific Palisades resident rather and she lost everything,
and she says she's overjoyed that they're going to be
heard at a closed door meeting with people like Lee
Zelden and Kelly Loffler Rogers said that the state and
local officials have let us burn, and we feel tremendous
(14:58):
gratitude that these fed officials are taking the time out
so that the community can have a voice. So much
of the pain that we've had since the beginning is
that residents don't feel heard, residents feel abandoned. And when
the federal government says we're sending help and we get
to meet with lee Zelden and tell them what the
needs are, it's huge for us. And see that's the thing.
(15:20):
The bass Newsome and the five stooges on the La
County Board of Supervisors, I can never remember all their
names off the top of my head because they're they're
completely they're completely useless and lifeless. But that would be
Hilde Salie and Jennie Hahn and Holly Mitchell and Karen
Barger and oh oh oh Lindsay Horvath, who be warned
(15:42):
she wants to run for mayor and she's another disaster
comment she's she's on the fast train to announce that
she's running for mayor. So they're it's just just same
incompetent boobs, just shuffling around from one job to another
uh here. This, this particularly news story encapsulates everything. LA
City Council voted fifteen to nothing to waive all the
(16:09):
permit fees for Palisades fire victims who want to rebuild.
This is ten months after Karen Bass publicly suggested it.
Ten months later, they're finally waiving the fees. Why because
the Trump administration's in town now and they needed to
(16:29):
save face and take it off the table, because it's
obscene and disgusting that for a year they tried to
shake down money out of people when it was their
fault that the fire destroyed so many homes, was the
city's fault, It's Mayor Bass's fault, it's the LA Fire
Department officials fault.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
They're liable.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
And then after letting your house, letting their houses burn,
they're charging permit fees. And there were being jackasses about
it too. And finally now with the Trump people coming
to town, because look, Bass, the whole city council they
know that the Trump people, I don't care if you
hate them. They're gonna get things done. This is going
to get fixed much more quickly.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
They will because Trump knows how to build things.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And Bass and Newsom and the five stooges on the
LA Board of Supervisors. They couldn't build your kid a treehouse,
who would be delayed five years for permitting. The kid
would be in college before he got his tree houses.
So the Palisades fire victims, now we'll see they won't
have to pay. And well, I gotta take a break.
(17:44):
We'll talk more about it when we come back. And
we're gonna have Kelly Offler on after three o'clock Small
Business Administration in the Trump administration about what she and
her agency are going to do for the businesses that
have been stuck for a year.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
We're on every day one until four o'clock and then
after four o'clock. Well, actually, now the way we're doing it,
at the end of every hour, we post the podcast
for that hour, so the one o'clock hour podcast is
already up. We'll do the two o'clock hour, post that up,
so you could get the podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
As soon as each hour is done. On the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven
Moist eighty six are usually talkback feature on the iHeart
app And next hour three o'clock, Kelly Loffler from the
Small Business Administration the Adults are in town and she
is here along with Lee Zelden, who's in charge of
the federal rebuilding of Palisades and Alta. Dina because a
(18:52):
Newsome Bass and the La County Border Supervisors have been
so incompetent, everything is so stuck. Uh, we're going to
talk with Kelly Loffler about what she is going to
do for businesses who've been burned out, smoked out, and
then tomorrow we're gonna have Lee Zelden on it. He's
head of the EPA normally, but he's taking on these
(19:13):
duties as well.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
These these are smart people. And uh I think I
think for the first time now those of you in
Altadena and the Palisades, you've got some hope, but well,
you know, we'll be on top of things to make
sure it's all followed through. Then I don't trust or
believe in anybody.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
One more note about the Palisades. Uh, the city council
waived the permit fees finally. Everybody's been begging them for
a year. Even Dass has been asking them for ten months,
and these stupid clowns were still wanted to charge Palisades
residents with permit fees to rebuild. I mean, that is
(19:53):
just just an abomination. That is so cruel and wrong.
And and the thing is they wanted them. It's ninety
million dollars and they need the money. But if the
fire didn't happen, they never would have gotten this money.
This wasn't part of any budget. It shouldn't have been
part of any budget because they didn't anticipate six seven
(20:20):
thousand homes would burn down and need to be rebuilt.
So why are they talking about the city's losing makes
He's not losing any money. That was never never part
of the budget. How could it be. That's what's really galling.
They were looking at they were looking at the burned
out homes as some kind of profit center.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, they let us burn.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Gavin Newsom he had his own embarrassment, his own embarrassing
moment today, or actually this was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He went.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
One of the new stories that he went to Bakersfield.
Actually he was outside Bakersfield in a town called Wasco,
and he was bragging about the high speed rail success.
I'm not making this up. He's Inco. I'll tell you why.
The town of Wasco is significant. So he was telling
(21:19):
I don't know whoever had gathered there about all the
cool things of high speed rail. Listen to this clip,
see if you pick out the biggest absurdity.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
So I'm here in the Central Valley in Wassco, right
near Shafter, and we just made an announcement of our
progress here on the high speed rail system. We're now
in the process of starting to lay track one hundred
and nineteen mile first phase fully funded because of the
investments we'll make through the Cap and Investment Program through
twenty forty five, seventeen hundred people every single day Union
(21:50):
jobs go to work on this project. Fifty eight large
scale structures have been complete, twenty nine others underway on
ninety nine percent of the environmental work done.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
All of the hard work behind us.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Now we're going to see the fruits of that. We're
going to start seeing precisely what you see here reel tracks,
real progress.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
The train they're gonna build, if they build it would
end in Wlasco. The other end is going to be Maderra.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
That's your hundred and nineteen miles a track of what
purpose is it? And it's not high speed rail either.
It's going to be normal speed rail from Wasco to Madera.
And he's standing there thinking he's fooling people. He's talking
about seventeen hundred union workers. It was a make work job.
(22:48):
It's like hiring seventeen hundred guys to dig a hole
in your backyard and then refill it and then do
it again the next day and the next day and
the next day. There's nothing useful at the end of this.
Now a lot of projects that we could be building.
There's a lot of reservoirs that we could have, dams
that we could build, Oh my god, repairing all the
(23:09):
freeways and highways in the state. And he was speaking
gibberish in the middle of this about all it's fully
funded by our cap and investment program.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
You know what that is. That's another gas tax.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It's why you're paying, as it today, average four thirty
six a gallon while the rest of the country is
paying two to eighty eight. That's giving you that a
lot of that money from this extra gas tax is
giving you years down the road, a rail line that's
(23:44):
going to run from the town of Madera to the
town of Wasco, which, as he pointed out, is right
next to Shafter. I don't know if the track is
stopping in Wasasco or Shafter, and that I don't know.
How big is that metropolitan area, the Wasco so Shafter
metropolitan area? Is that like Dallasport Worth? Is that like
the Twin Cities? And he's bragging about it as if
(24:09):
it's not insane. That's what's fascinating. It's like Bass yesterday
carrying on about all the victories of her administration when
you have seven thousand buildings burned to the ground and
very few being rebuilt, and she's carrying on about how
(24:30):
resilient the palisades are. Nobody's resilient. Everybody's stuck. Like Leezelden said,
there's a thousand permits from Bass's office that got bounced
back to the homeowners.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Why and here he had.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Seventeen hundred union workers working and we're gonna get someday
down the road Madera Tlasco or is it Madera to Shafter,
I don't know exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
And it's not high beat rail. And they hold these public.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Press conferences and everybody nods along in applods and chairs,
and the media reports it as is.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I see this, medea?
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Why somebody says, wait a second, We've been doing this
since two thousand and eight. It's twenty twenty six. And
maybe sometime down the road somebody will get a train,
get on a train in Wasco, and they'll get off
in Madera, and then what do you do?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (25:32):
You go to the restroom at the train station and
then turn around and go home. I don't know, is
a is there a jack in the box nearby?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
You can have lunch? Jesus.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe. Maybe
I am. Maybe this is some kind of Maybe I'm
dead and I was sentenced to some sort of cross
between limbo and hell, and I got to sit here
and play, play all this insanity. And maybe maybe you're
(26:07):
dead and you're you're stuck here with me. I can't tell,
because the world didn't used to be this way. I
know it didn't. I remember the way, not that long ago.
All right, well we come back. He's another lunatic. This
this this vaccine waters and her Wig, she's about she
(26:33):
must be ninety years old. Her Wig's even older.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So she's on.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
The House Financial Services Committee. Oh god, and she's yelling
at the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen't Scott Bessen is extraordinarily intelligent,
and she got into this really stupid fight with him.
We're gonna play you that clip. I just marvel. It's
(27:03):
like it's like the idiot parade. We got Bass followed
by Newsom, followed by now Maxine Waters. Maybe I'm on hallucinogen.
Maybe I had eight bad mushrooms. Oh a next hour,
next hour. If you missed it in the first hour,
We're gonna dive back in. Karen Bass exposed. This should
(27:24):
end her career. I mean she should resign today. And you,
if you live in LA, ought to be demanding she resigned.
And if you haven't heard, I'll tell you why. This
is not hype.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
This is real. She's been exposed. That's all I had.
Speaker 6 (27:39):

be in a mental institution instead, somehow, somehow she's a
congresswoman on the House Financial Services Committee, and she shouted
started yelling at the Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, who's an
like I said, an extraordinarily smart man and accomplished. And
she's like a crazy lady, like a homeless woman in
(28:37):
the streets with a shopping cart and a liquor bottle
in her hand. That's what she sounds like. This is
her yelling at Bessent at a hearing. This had to
do with the inflation affordability, all right, So play cut

EPA head who's in charge of now the federal intervention

Loflaurent see what the federal government could do for the
small businesses burned out and smoked out. And then tomorrow
(32:36):
three o'clock we're gonna have Leezeldnont. It's just it's just insanity,
unending insanity. Deborah Mark is live in the KFI twenty
four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to The John
Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show live
on KFI AM six forty from one to four pm
every Monday through Friday, and of course anytime on demand
(32:59):
on the iHeartRadio. A whif
Can't. I am six forty you're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're gonna buy it
beyond every day one till four and now you can
get the podcast at the end of every hour. So
one o'clock hour, we just did where we went extensively
into this La Times report on how Karen Bass lied
(00:21):
she did water down the Palisades fire after action report,
she lied repeatedly to the whole world. We talked about
it quite a bit, and you can hear that on
the podcast, which is being being released any minute now.
And that's why we're gonna do it. At the end
of every hour. We'll put the podcast for that hour.
The iHeartRadio app is where you can find it. All right,
(00:42):
Let's get now to Minneapolis. Luke Barr, ABC News law
enforcement reporter. Looks like some kind of deal has been
made between borders are Tom Holman, who's now in charge
of the Minneapolis immigration operation, and it looks like he's
gonna withdraw some troops and in return there's gonna be
more cooperation from the Minnesota officials. Luke, what's the story here?
(01:11):
There is no Luke. Oh, well, somebody should tell me that, Uh,
all right, we'll get to Luke Barr when he can
come on. We have next hour. I want you to
be listening because we're gonna have Kelly, Kelly waffleron and
(01:35):
she is the head of Trump's small business administration. She
and the EPA had Lee Zelden are in town and
they are going to they have already. I know Zelden's
already met with Karen Bass. I wonder if that was
before or after we found out Bass was telling the
Big why because the Trump administration is fed up, like
(01:56):
everybody is, with the extremely slow progress. I wouldn't even
describe it as progress. It's just at a standstill. Everything's frozen.
And boy, she was the bast was given a speech
or state of the Cesspool steep Beach, and she's actually
talking about all the progress made. I'm telling you she
is shameless, absolutely shameless. But she has, you know, got
(02:18):
an expensive, bright blue suit on and smiles a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And I guess the.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Brain damaged amongst us here in Los Angeles is thinking
she's on top of things. Well she's not. It's the
whole thing has been so botched for thirteen months now,
and she's covering up and lying like hell, Lee Zelden,
we're gonna have him on tomorrow at three o'clock. We're
gonna have Kelly Loffler from the Small Business Administration on
(02:45):
today at three o'clock and let me play some clips.
Lee Zelden was on Fox News earlier about the meetings
he had in Altadena and the Palisades and about the
problems with the permitting, roll cut.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Break through whatever local logjams still exist in Altadena. It
was expressed concerns regarding the impacts of the state insurance
regulatory scheme and the impact that that's had in getting
payments out to people, as well as the local water
systems where they say they have many different water systems
and it's not as efficient. There should be just one
(03:22):
our meeting in the Palisades with La Mayor Karen Bass
focusing on their issues. There are over one thousand permits
that have been kicked back to applicants. We want to
dig deeper as to exactly why that's happening to be
able to get these permits out done quickly. Two fridays ago,
President Trumps signed an executive order implementing Trump's speed for
(03:44):
this permitting process, directing FEMA and SPA to take actions
to make that happen. SBA's already issued a new rule
to implement that executive order, and we're going to do
everything in our power. We're here in the spirit of
a cooperation to help these Americans who lost so much
of their lives, to help them rebuild as quick as
(04:05):
we can, and I would characterize both meetings that we
had this morning as productive. The next stop while we're
here in Palisades is now we're going to meet with
a bunch of the victims and hear their story, their
version of events, and see what we could do to
further assist.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
But the Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Administration has been all in since the moment President Trump
was sworn in, bringing the full resources whole of government
to bear to help with the debris removal and the
SBA loans that went out, and we're still here. We
will not stop until la is fully rebuilt.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
All Right.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
That's Lee Zeldon, EPA head who's in charge of the
federal rebuild of the Palisades in Altadena because Bastin Newsom
have failed so badly. We have more from Lee Zeldon
coming up in a little bit. But Luke Barr is
here for MAYBC News law enforcement reporter Adam Minneapolis. Looks
like Tom Homan and the Minnesota officials have reached some
(04:57):
kind of an agreement.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
We'll find out. Luke, how are you?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Hey?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
How are you?
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'm good? So tell me what there seems to be
a deal.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I don't know if it's a formal deal, but explain
what the federal government is going to be doing and
what the state officials and local officials are going to
be doing.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Yeah. So Tom Holman today basically said that they're drawing
down seven hundred federal agents that are based there in
Minneapolis as part of this Operation Metro Search after you know,
coming to some sort of agreement or some cooperation with
state and local officials that are in Minneapolis. So of
(05:36):
course there's going to be two thousand federal agents still
in Minneapolis. So you think about ICE and CVP. But
this is certainly, you know, an off ramp for the administration,
you know, because they have you know, said that they've
gotten their cooperation, They've gotten you know, they've started taught
to state and locals, and this is apparently has satisfied
(05:58):
at least seven hundred and is being drawn down from the.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
City and also for their part, the Minneapolis officials or
the Minnesota officials are backing down and they're going to
start turning over some criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
How is that going to work?
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Yeah, so Homan kind of said that, you know, they
will notify them when they will you know, you know,
for example, if somebody illegally in the country that's convicted
of a crime or accuse of a crime is out
of jail, right so they can call ICE and notify them.
And Homan has argued all along that that is safer
for federal ages to you know, arrest table.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
And what are the numbers here? How many criminals is
Minnesota going to turn over to ICE?
Speaker 5 (06:48):
So it remains because VHS has hit in the past
that there's over thirteen hundred in state and local custody
that have final orders of removals. So what that looks
like in matter in custody, mind you what that looks
like I think from a number's perspective and also I
think from satisfying the administrative the administration perspective kind of
remains to be seen. It's up in the air. Homan
(07:09):
didn't give that many details, and neither have the state
or locals. You know, we're seeing reactions from the governor
and the mayor, but no details like what this actually
looks like.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Do you know if these are convicted criminals or people
charged in awaiting trial.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
So it can be both. It can be convicted criminals
and it also can be people who are charged with
a crime and also illegally in the country.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
So so ICE is going to have these people deported,
whether or not they've had a trial.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Everybody's just going to be taken away.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Well, not exactly, they have to. It depends, right, every
immigration is so circumstantial. But basically, if they have a
final order of removal, which means that their process has
been through an immigration judge, then they will be able
to get supported. However, if they don't, and most of
the most of the ones that DHS has said, you
(08:04):
know that thirteen hundred numbers I mentioned, most of that
number does have that word removal. But the ones that
don't will have to go through you know, the immigration
court process.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, now they're still going to leave over two thousand
ICE agents in Minneapolis, which is a sizeable number. I mean,
all three thousand that were sent up. There were three
thousand extra, So they're only taking out seven hundred. Are
they looking for other concessions from Minnesota officials before they
draw down further?
Speaker 5 (08:34):
Yeah, they didn't actually go into specifics, but they just
basically said, like, if the cooperation continues with the Satan locals,
they will consider drawing out the two thousand that are there.
And mind you, DHS has said that the largest federal
agent deployment in US history was in Minneapolis, with over
three thousand agents from CBP, HSI I at one time.
(08:56):
So this is the historic numbers. And for contact come
homans of the operational plan, the regular plan that they
were going to be putting in place, only saw about
one hundred and fifty agents surged to the city, So
to put that in perspective, it's so much more.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
All right, very good, Thank you, Luke Barr, ABC News
law enforcement reporter up in Minneapolis. Thank you very much.
You know, that's really all home and wanted to begin with,
he wanted the cooperation of local authorities, which most states
are giving ICE. The places where you have officials not
(09:36):
cooperating are the places where you have the riots and
the violence, because then ICE has to send in lots
of troops it looks like it's an invasion. It gets
these subversive anarchist or organizations to have a hook to
justify their violence, and you've got mayhem. But if Minnesota
(10:01):
and California just did the basics, the obvious, turn over
everybody you have in custody, turnover everybody that has an
order of removal against him or her, then everybody all
this all happen peacefully out of the limelight. But Minneapolis, Minnesota,
and California they want the confrontation. They don't care if
(10:24):
there's rioting because otherwise you'd cooperate with federal government, which
again they have complete jurisdiction over immigration.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
The states have no jurisdiction.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
They can come up with all their nonsense about sanctuary
cities and the mask rules, all garbage, all nonsense. It's
not the way the constitution works, and they know it too.
All right, more coming up, you're listening.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
To John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
All right, coming up after three o'clock, we're gonna have
Kelly Loffler on. She's the head of Trump's Small Business Administration.
She and Lee's heldon. He's the head of the EPA
and he's in charge of the federal effort now. Trump
has sent them in to try to speed up this
rebuild quagmire in the Palisades and in Altadena. And Lee
(11:16):
Zelden is coming on with us tomorrow at three. We're
gonna have Kelly Loffler on today at three from the
Small Business Administration, So if you are affected by the fires,
you're gonna want to hear her. And everybody has to
hear the difference between what the Trump people are going
(11:37):
to do and the way Bass and Newsom have been
and the La County Board of Supervisors had been floundering
around because it's been a year. Times up. They failed
again willfully. It's really awful And I want to play
another Lee Zelden clip. He already went on Fox. He
was in the Palisades today. Karen Bass had a particular
(11:59):
assessment of the rebuilding process, and he was active asked
about a play cut number six.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I know you said you had a constructive conversation with
her today.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Do you agree with her.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Assessment that things are getting going and things are moving well.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
There are hundreds of properties that are getting rebuilt, but
it's a very small number that have actually been completed,
and there are thousands more to rebuild, thousands in the Palisades,
thousands in Altadena. So there is so much work that
is still left to get done. And I mean, I
(12:36):
can easily sit here in Monday morning quarterback how we
got to this point with these local logjams that are
in place. But my message to both the LA County
Supervisor and the LA Mayor is very clear on behalf
of President Trump and the Trump administration. Whatever log jam,
whatever obstacle, whatever roadblock is in front of you, that's
(12:58):
in front of us, you know we're here to help
tear through it to make sure that these people can
rebuild their homes. What we want is for a proud
declaration of the many thousands permits that have went out,
the many thousands of homes and businesses that are rebuilt.
And obviously there's a lot more work to be done,
but we want this to be done in the manner
(13:20):
of weeks, not years. And that's why that's why we're
here and we're not leaving.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
He was being diplomatic, which he as to be at
this point, but the truth is it's Bass and the
Alley County Supervisors have presided over a disastrous rebuild. They
really couldn't do it much worse the people who are
getting because I know plenty of people in the Palisades
and the lots that are being rebuilt, often their developers
(13:47):
who are snatching up for cheap from residents who quickly
gave up. They didn't want to live through this nightmare
any further. They sold out for cheap maybe they could
afford to. And those developed kind of haven't know how
to grease their way into the system. I'll put it politely,
but there's a lot of people. In fact, Zelden said
(14:10):
a thousand permits have been submitted and they bounced back
and were returned to the victims. See, she could talk
all she wants about numbers of permits, but you got
a thousand submitted and they're bounced back. Something wrong with
the system there that that's intolerable. California Post talked to
(14:34):
Jessica Rogers, who we've had on the show. She's a
Palisades Park, a Pacific Palisades resident rather and she lost everything,
and she says she's overjoyed that they're going to be
heard at a closed door meeting with people like Lee
Zelden and Kelly Loffler Rogers said that the state and
local officials have let us burn, and we feel tremendous
(14:58):
gratitude that these fed officials are taking the time out
so that the community can have a voice. So much
of the pain that we've had since the beginning is
that residents don't feel heard, residents feel abandoned. And when
the federal government says we're sending help and we get
to meet with lee Zelden and tell them what the
needs are, it's huge for us. And see that's the thing.
(15:20):
The bass Newsome and the five stooges on the La
County Board of Supervisors, I can never remember all their
names off the top of my head because they're they're
completely they're completely useless and lifeless. But that would be
Hilde Salie and Jennie Hahn and Holly Mitchell and Karen
Barger and oh oh oh Lindsay Horvath, who be warned
(15:42):
she wants to run for mayor and she's another disaster
comment she's she's on the fast train to announce that
she's running for mayor. So they're it's just just same
incompetent boobs, just shuffling around from one job to another
uh here. This, this particularly news story encapsulates everything. LA
City Council voted fifteen to nothing to waive all the
(16:09):
permit fees for Palisades fire victims who want to rebuild.
This is ten months after Karen Bass publicly suggested it.
Ten months later, they're finally waiving the fees. Why because
the Trump administration's in town now and they needed to
(16:29):
save face and take it off the table, because it's
obscene and disgusting that for a year they tried to
shake down money out of people when it was their
fault that the fire destroyed so many homes, was the
city's fault, It's Mayor Bass's fault, it's the LA Fire
Department officials fault.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
They're liable.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
And then after letting your house, letting their houses burn,
they're charging permit fees. And there were being jackasses about
it too. And finally now with the Trump people coming
to town, because look, Bass, the whole city council they
know that the Trump people, I don't care if you
hate them. They're gonna get things done. This is going
to get fixed much more quickly.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
They will because Trump knows how to build things.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
And Bass and Newsom and the five stooges on the
LA Board of Supervisors. They couldn't build your kid a treehouse,
who would be delayed five years for permitting. The kid
would be in college before he got his tree houses.
So the Palisades fire victims, now we'll see they won't
have to pay. And well, I gotta take a break.
(17:44):
We'll talk more about it when we come back. And
we're gonna have Kelly Offler on after three o'clock Small
Business Administration in the Trump administration about what she and
her agency are going to do for the businesses that
have been stuck for a year.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
We're on every day one until four o'clock and then
after four o'clock. Well, actually, now the way we're doing it,
at the end of every hour, we post the podcast
for that hour, so the one o'clock hour podcast is
already up. We'll do the two o'clock hour, post that up,
so you could get the podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
As soon as each hour is done. On the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven seven
Moist eighty six are usually talkback feature on the iHeart
app And next hour three o'clock, Kelly Loffler from the
Small Business Administration the Adults are in town and she
is here along with Lee Zelden, who's in charge of
the federal rebuilding of Palisades and Alta. Dina because a
(18:52):
Newsome Bass and the La County Border Supervisors have been
so incompetent, everything is so stuck. Uh, we're going to
talk with Kelly Loffler about what she is going to
do for businesses who've been burned out, smoked out, and
then tomorrow we're gonna have Lee Zelden on it. He's
head of the EPA normally, but he's taking on these
(19:13):
duties as well.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
These these are smart people. And uh I think I
think for the first time now those of you in
Altadena and the Palisades, you've got some hope, but well,
you know, we'll be on top of things to make
sure it's all followed through. Then I don't trust or
believe in anybody.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
One more note about the Palisades. Uh, the city council
waived the permit fees finally. Everybody's been begging them for
a year. Even Dass has been asking them for ten months,
and these stupid clowns were still wanted to charge Palisades
residents with permit fees to rebuild. I mean, that is
(19:53):
just just an abomination. That is so cruel and wrong.
And and the thing is they wanted them. It's ninety
million dollars and they need the money. But if the
fire didn't happen, they never would have gotten this money.
This wasn't part of any budget. It shouldn't have been
part of any budget because they didn't anticipate six seven
(20:20):
thousand homes would burn down and need to be rebuilt.
So why are they talking about the city's losing makes
He's not losing any money. That was never never part
of the budget. How could it be. That's what's really galling.
They were looking at they were looking at the burned
out homes as some kind of profit center.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, they let us burn.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Gavin Newsom he had his own embarrassment, his own embarrassing
moment today, or actually this was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
He went.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
One of the new stories that he went to Bakersfield.
Actually he was outside Bakersfield in a town called Wasco,
and he was bragging about the high speed rail success.
I'm not making this up. He's Inco. I'll tell you why.
The town of Wasco is significant. So he was telling
(21:19):
I don't know whoever had gathered there about all the
cool things of high speed rail. Listen to this clip,
see if you pick out the biggest absurdity.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
So I'm here in the Central Valley in Wassco, right
near Shafter, and we just made an announcement of our
progress here on the high speed rail system. We're now
in the process of starting to lay track one hundred
and nineteen mile first phase fully funded because of the
investments we'll make through the Cap and Investment Program through
twenty forty five, seventeen hundred people every single day Union
(21:50):
jobs go to work on this project. Fifty eight large
scale structures have been complete, twenty nine others underway on
ninety nine percent of the environmental work done.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
All of the hard work behind us.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Now we're going to see the fruits of that. We're
going to start seeing precisely what you see here reel tracks,
real progress.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
The train they're gonna build, if they build it would
end in Wlasco. The other end is going to be Maderra.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
That's your hundred and nineteen miles a track of what
purpose is it? And it's not high speed rail either.
It's going to be normal speed rail from Wasco to Madera.
And he's standing there thinking he's fooling people. He's talking
about seventeen hundred union workers. It was a make work job.
(22:48):
It's like hiring seventeen hundred guys to dig a hole
in your backyard and then refill it and then do
it again the next day and the next day and
the next day. There's nothing useful at the end of this.
Now a lot of projects that we could be building.
There's a lot of reservoirs that we could have, dams
that we could build, Oh my god, repairing all the
(23:09):
freeways and highways in the state. And he was speaking
gibberish in the middle of this about all it's fully
funded by our cap and investment program.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
You know what that is. That's another gas tax.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
It's why you're paying, as it today, average four thirty
six a gallon while the rest of the country is
paying two to eighty eight. That's giving you that a
lot of that money from this extra gas tax is
giving you years down the road, a rail line that's
(23:44):
going to run from the town of Madera to the
town of Wasco, which, as he pointed out, is right
next to Shafter. I don't know if the track is
stopping in Wasasco or Shafter, and that I don't know.
How big is that metropolitan area, the Wasco so Shafter
metropolitan area? Is that like Dallasport Worth? Is that like
the Twin Cities? And he's bragging about it as if
(24:09):
it's not insane. That's what's fascinating. It's like Bass yesterday
carrying on about all the victories of her administration when
you have seven thousand buildings burned to the ground and
very few being rebuilt, and she's carrying on about how
(24:30):
resilient the palisades are. Nobody's resilient. Everybody's stuck. Like Leezelden said,
there's a thousand permits from Bass's office that got bounced
back to the homeowners.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Why and here he had.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Seventeen hundred union workers working and we're gonna get someday
down the road Madera Tlasco or is it Madera to Shafter,
I don't know exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
And it's not high beat rail. And they hold these public.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Press conferences and everybody nods along in applods and chairs,
and the media reports it as is.
Speaker 2 (25:13):

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
