The John Kobylt Show Hour 1 (08/15) - John Kobylt opens the show with Assemblyman Carl DeMaio (R-CA) to take aim at Governor Newsom’s costly and “whacky” redistricting scheme—calling it a blatant power grab to gerrymander California’s political maps. DeMaio urges listeners to join the fight at reformcalifornia.org, stressing the need for voter ID and warning of the political damage this could cause before a likely November vote. John then pivots to the problem of emotion-driven news coverage, citing a case involving a man who died while fleeing a Home Depot during an ICE raid. The hour wraps with a jaw-dropping bust in San Bernardino, where authorities seized 3,500 birds bred for cockfighting—an unprecedented number even for John.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We have Carl Demayo coming out in just a moment.
He's the San Diego Republican Assemblyman and he is leading
the fight against Governor Newsom's wacky redistricting idea. I just
want to mention that as we speak, if you're listening

(00:22):
to this live, Trump and Vladimir Putin are meeting in Alaska.
Their meeting just began a short time ago, and they're
an Anchorage, Alaska at the Joint Base elmadorf Richardson. And
after they walking off the plane, a B two bomber,

(00:44):
an American B two bomber flew right over their heads.
And I guess that's normal protocol. Or at first I
thought it was a message. It was Trumps just reminding Putin.
It's like, look what we got over here. Anyway, if
they get if the talks don't go well and they
get any with each other, both of them have the
nuclear codes with them, right, they're carrying the nuclear code bags.

(01:07):
So if they should start firing missiles at each other's countries,
KFI News will be there and we will narrate for
you the end of the world. Michael Munty, in fact,
is right on top of it in the newsroom there.
And Michael, that's true. Right, if they start firing nuclear missiles,
you're you're there.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I think we'll do the best we can to cover that. Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I imagine LA would be near the top of the
list here on the West coast, So I.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Think there's some residents here who would welcome that. By
the way, why do I have you today? What's happened?

Speaker 3 (01:38):
Well, your lady friend is on a long vacation and uh,
you know, Brigeta couldn't do all the time because she
works on the weekend. So I'm the guy they call
when literally everyone else says no, wow, I noticed the
hallways are empty. It's like you got snagged because there
was no other choice. It was Yeah, it was not
a lot of choices here.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Well, happy to have you here, hey, glad to be
We're gonna have Carl on now, Carl DeMaio, the Republican
assemblymen from San Diego. Yesterday, Newsom did his silly pep
rally press conference announcing that he wants to redraw the
congressional district lines now so that the Democrats could end

(02:18):
up with maybe a forty nine to three advantage here
in California. And you know which, which violates the law
as we know it, because we have an independent commission
that the public passed in a referendum sixty one percent
of the vote to have an outside independent group do this.

(02:40):
Although I'll in a few minutes question just how independent
they are. Let's think at carl.

Speaker 4 (02:46):
On, Hey, John, how are you doing.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I'm doing all right.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
What was your reaction to his big PEP rally yesterday?

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Gavin Newsom is pretty incompetent as a governor. You can
see all the failures that he has produced out here.
But the one thing that he's very good at he
is a very very capable liar. He's a very capable liar,
and boy, he just laid it on thick yesterday saying
that he's defending deympocracy and the reality is this, he

(03:21):
is destroying any notion of fairness in our elections because
he's allowing politicians, he's giving them back the power to
manipulate the lines of districts, which means politicians get to
choose the voters versus voters choosing politicians and What is
truly insane about this and really offensive is the fact

(03:43):
that he's telling all these Democrats, if you hate Donald Trump,
and if you hate Donald Trump because he destroys democracy,
then give the politicians back the power to manipulate the lines.
They have always wanted the power back to do Jerry
Mandarin in California. They've never wanted the Redistricting Commission to

(04:04):
be independent and nonpartisan, and so they've been lying in
wait for exactly this moment where they can capitalize on
some voters hating Donald Trump to get them to give
the power back to the politicians. And of course they
have a very misleading ballot title that they've slapped on
this initiative that makes it appear as though what they're

(04:24):
doing is saving the independent Redistricting Commission and upholding it.
So all sorts of dishonesty. But look, John, I still
believe we're going to win this. We're going to win
this because the voters are on our side. They don't
want politicians manipulating lines. They want it done by the
independent Citizens Commission, and they want it based upon non

(04:46):
partisan criteria like geography, community ties, minority voting rights. They
do not want it based on partisanship and personal political
benefit to these politicians. So I believe we can win.
We just have a very intense campaign that we're going
to be gearing up for for November fourth, and we
need everyone to join at Reform California dot org. That's

(05:08):
the website, Reform California dot org, and we'll be kicking
off the campaign in a matter of days.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Are you heartened at all by that political poll that
came out yesterday which showed that Newsom's idea has very
little support?

Speaker 1 (05:22):
Or do you not trust it? Or should you not
trust it?

Speaker 4 (05:24):
No? No, no, no. I think that poll is accurate in that
it shows that two thirds of California voters want to
keep the redistricting independent Redistricting Commission along nonpartisan lines for
fair elections, and only a third are okay with you know,
giving politicians back the power to combat Trump. If you
take Trump out of the equation, it's actually eighty twenty. Okay.

(05:47):
But here's the problem. Remember that misleading ballot title. Newsom
is literally going to lie to voters with the ballot title,
and I don't think he's going to get away with it.
But it's up to us to make sure that voters
are given the truth, and when they know the truths,
when they hear the truth, voters are angry when they're
lied to, and they vote no just out of spite.
And so I believe that the polling is correct. The

(06:10):
voters don't want this, but the ballot is deceptive, so
that we still have a very tough campaign to run,
and we're going to run that tough campaign and we're
going to win.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Can you hang on?

Speaker 2 (06:19):
I want to talk more about this with you, all right, yes,
all right. Carl Demayo, he's the Republican assemblyman from San
Diego leading the charge against Newsom's redistricting idea. That will
be next with Carl, and we have Michael Monks on
the nuclear missile debt. You're on Nuke Watch.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A
six forty and moistline.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Today.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
We'll have it twice in the three o'clock hour, three
twenty and three fifty. Let's continue with Carl Demayo, the
Republican assemblyman from the San Diego area who through reform California.
Let me let me get this right, uh, Carl, you there,
reformer California dot com.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Dot org a California dot org. I know it's the
ground zero for not only the fight against Gavin Newsom's illegal,
corrupt redistricting scheme, but it's also California Voter ID, and
these two issues are pretty much the same issue. On
our side, we want voter I D to improve the
fairness of elections. On newsom side, he's threatening this illegal,

(07:28):
politician driven Jerrymander district to basically eliminate fair districts. And
so if you want fair elections in California, whether you're
a Democrat or Republican or anywhere in between, we need
you to vote no on Newsom's redistricting scheme. We need
you to sign the voter ID petition. The way you
get involved go to the website Reform California dot org.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
One question that lingers in my mind, and I imagine
some of the listeners too if this and I love
having an independent commission rather than whatever Newsoms can cock.
But why is it still up forty three to nine
in favor of Democrats for congressional seats.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Well, it's because Republicans have not really been an effective
opposition party in California for twenty years and they did
not even bother putting forward commissioners, and they did not
bother even showing up for public testimony. So the problem,
what do you.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Mean they didn't bother the commission.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Nobody, no member of the party, no officeholders, showed up
at the commission. Nobody went there to make an argument
and submit their own map.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
Are you serious?

Speaker 4 (08:37):
That's correct? They basically these people are incompetent, They don't
work hard, and so I don't fault the process. The
process is correct in the constitution. What the voters did,
and this is something I supported in twenty ten, is
they said, take the power from the politicians, give it
to an independent citizens redistricting commission. Have the commissioners, you know,

(09:00):
apply from across the state, and then randomly select them
and then have public testimony in every part of the
state where maps can only be drawn in the public
light of day. They can't draw maps, they can't discuss
it behind closed doors. And finally make sure that they
draw it based upon communities of interest, geography, nonpartisan criteria.

(09:22):
And so the maps are not the greatest maps from
my perspective, but the process did not fail. The process
is the correct process. Which is keep the politicians out
of it. And what you're seeing right now is, yeah,
the maps could get a whole lot worse by having
politicians manipulate them based on raw political gain. And that's

(09:44):
what you're seeing with what Gavenusum is trying to do.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
He has to do this very quickly, right within a
matter of days, right by the end of next week.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
I think, So, how's he going to pull this off?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
What's the process that we're going to be able to
watch next week in the legislature.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
He tries to ram this through.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Basically between some time between now and when they vote
next week, we don't know when they will reveal their
corrupt bargain, their map that the special interests have been
concocting behind closed doors, that politicians have literally been caught
trading votes. I know three politicians who basically have actively

(10:22):
been involved in tailoring the district that they want to
run for Congress, and I'm going to name names, Mike McGuire,
Senator McGuire, Senator Ashby, and a SAMI member jazz meaet Baines.
They all are wanting to run for Congress and so
in exchange for their support, their vote next week, they're
getting congressional districts.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Sound nice.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
This is corrupt. It's stinks to high heaven. So we're
going to see a map at some point, and then
of course they'll they'll vote, and they'll have the votes.
We're going to sue next week. We've already put them
on warning that what they're doing is patent lee illegal.
It's in violation of the state constitution in federal law.
But I do believe we're going to be headed for
an election. The lawsuits will probably have to be addressed

(11:06):
after the election if Newsom wins, But I think the
cleanest way to stop this is to beat Newsom. And
when we beat Newsome in November, it's going to have
two beneficial outcomes. Number One, we're going to stop the
rigging of the elections with his map. But number two,
we're going to end his political career. He will not
be able to go run for president if he can't

(11:26):
even win a statewide election in California, as blue as
it is, this is going to be a humiliating defeat
for him. And he was so richly deserved for someone
who has been so corrupt and engaged in so much
abuse of power.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Okay, so if you're all right in his political careers
presidential ambitions depend on this, why would he launch the
campaign a few hours after finding out it's losing sixty
four to thirty six out of the gate.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
I mean he's gonna takens arrogance. No, no, I believe me.
They they believe that, you know, they've always won in California,
and so they feel that it's just going to happen.
And I'm hearing from Democrats who you have said to me,
I don't think this is a slam dunk. I think
we might lose it. And I said, actually, if we
do our job, if we actually you know, get our

(12:15):
act together on the Republican side, if independents and Democrats
join us, and I believe they will, I believe that
this thing will be defeated, that truth will win out,
that citizens will retain the power, not the politicians. And
so we just have to suit up and fight, and
we need everyone off the sidelines. If, well, Carl, you

(12:35):
can't win in California, you don't know that We've never
really had a real fight in California on our side
for about twenty five years. So you know, stop being
a naysayer, get off the couch, get in the fight,
and they need to go to the website Reform California
dot org.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
Reform California dot org. Are you going to have the
money for the campaign, because he will.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah, he's gonna have the money. We've been doing a
lot of advanced fundraising for California voter ID, and what
I'm now doing is creating a buy one, get one
free campaign, so that what we're doing is not only
collecting signatures on voter ID in the next three months,
but we're also going to be educating voters to vote
no on Gavin Newsom's redissearching scheme with the same expenditures.

(13:21):
And so first, as we're stretching the dollar. Second, I
do believe we're gonna have coalition groups come and spend
money in California to get the word out. And so
I do believe that they're gonna have more money than
we have. They're gonna have the liberal media, they're gonna
have all these extra advantages. But we don't have to
beat them at the money game. We just have enough
gas in the tank to get the message out and

(13:42):
I think we'll.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Be able to do it.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
I would think you would have some national Republican money
in the mix here, right, because it could be five
or six Republican seats that gets lost in the House
for Trump.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
Yeah, and I know that whatever motivates them, if it's like, oh, well,
we want to win Republican seats. At the end of
the day, I am interested in fair districts. Yes, I'm
a Republican, Yes I support Republicans. But the principle here
should be no matter whether you're a Democrat, a Republican,
or anywhere in between, that at least we should have
a fair map, a fair district structure that's not based

(14:19):
on partisanship. We shouldn't have a predetermined outcome because the
politicians manipulated the maps. But that's what we're going to
get if Newsom gets his way.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
All right, Carl, damayah. We'll talk again soon. I'm sure
over this in the next few months. Thank you, Thank you,
And we have Michael Monks. Nothing's happened yet between Trump
and Putin.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
We are continuing to watch the Putin Trump meeting in Anchorage, Alaska.
Trump trying to convince Putin to stop slaughtering Ukrainians. Doesn't
seem like put at this point has any interest in that.
And Trump has very little patience. So you never know.

(15:07):
I don't want to hype things, but do you think
there's zero chance that they get really mad at each
other and pull out their nuclear code bags and start
start firing things.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Zero chance? So we'll see, you know, so.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Much of everything is so emotionally overwrought and manipulative, especially
what used to be news coverage of almost every issue.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
And it's.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
Frustrating if you're old enough to remember an era where
the newspapers at least somewhat presented a factual reading of
the day's events. Now everything is loaded and no context
is supplied, no common sense is supplied. They ever put

(16:02):
themselves the people who write these stories and they write
the headlines and and and schedule these stories for reporters,
They never put themselves in the Uh, in the mindset
of a common sense reader, what's the reader going to
think here? Who's reasonably intelligent and not insane? Well? Got

(16:22):
another example today? You probably heard this story. Uh, there's one, two, three, four,
five writers on this one. Nathan Solis, Jenni Jarvi, Karen Garcia,
Jasmine Mendez, Claire Hard are five writers, four of them women,
on this La Times story. Man fleeing home depot, immigration

(16:44):
rate is killed on SoCal Freeway. This is a terrible thing,
you know, for the family of this guy. But the
entire the entire article is positioned around the idea that
insecurity killed this guy. Now we're into seven full months.

(17:07):
Next week will be seven full months since Trump took over.
I think it's pretty clear for the last ten years
that he wants to deported legal aliens, close the border
and all that. If you're still going to a home
depot after all this, and then you're shocked that there's

(17:30):
ICE agents trying to arrest you running for a freeway.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
Isn't that on you?

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Didn't you get the message for the last ten years,
certainly the last seven months, certainly the last couple of
months here in Los Angeles, that ICE is doing raids
at home depot.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Now, put aside for.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
A minute, whether they're allowed or disallowed by court decisions,
they're obviously doing it anyway. I don't know the nuances
of why one home depot raid might be considered it
okay and another one isn't. I don't think the drump
administration particularly cares. They're just going to do this every

(18:12):
once in a while. And part of the reason is
it's got a very serious effect on a lot of
illegal aliens who'd say, you know what, I'm not going
to play this game anymore, too stressful, too risky, because
do you know, one point six million illegal aliens have
left the country one point six millions million, and only

(18:35):
a couple hundred thousand have actually been physically detained and
deported by ICE. So most of the people leaving got
the hint and got the message, but not this guy.
Nine am, Immigration agents approach the home d POE in Monrovia.

(19:03):
An officer observed immig ICE agents at the site, and
now the Department Homeland Security said the individual got run
over on the two ten was not being pursued by
any DHS law enforcement. In fact, the agency says they
didn't even know what happened until hours after the operation.

(19:25):
So if they're telling the truth, it is conceivable that
this guy saw ICE coming and just took off on
his own and decided that he was going to cross
what a.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Ten lane freeway during rush hour.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
Now that's entirely on him. First of all, he didn't
take the hint of the last two months anywhere between
two months and ten years that you shouldn't be here.
They're going to get you, and the ending's not going
to be good. I don't know how many times they

(20:00):
run these commercials in English and Spanish. They're offering money
to people to leave. You know, you get one thousand dollars.
They're offering to put you at the front of the
line to come back. I don't know what else you want, because, again,
common sense, I'm trying to be common sense guy. I
wouldn't do this in a foreign country and don't say, well,

(20:21):
if you're desperate, No, I'm not going to a foreign
country that clearly doesn't want me, and we'll go to
pretty serious measures to make sure I have to leave.
I don't know what the answer is in any one
person's particular life, but I do know that Mexico and

(20:41):
Guatemala and El Salvador and Honduras and Venezuela are currently
held currently holed tens of millions, if not hundreds of
millions of citizens in those countries, and these people get
up in the morning and do their thing and go
to bed at night. So it's not mandatory that you
come here to work, a choice that you come here

(21:01):
to work. And I can only imagine what the Hispanic media,
how the Hispanic media has been covering these home deep
depot stories.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
I haven't watched it.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Because I don't speak the language, but I could imagine
I'm familiar enough. So you've got to be seeing this
on television. You've got to be seeing this on your
blessed scroll your Instagram scroll right, It's got it. I mean,
what else would the guys standing at home depot talk about?

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Right? What do you think the number one topic is?

Speaker 2 (21:33):
As they're standing there, they're looking around to see if
ice is coming to arrest them. So this guy can't
be unaware of what's going on. That doesn't seem possible.
So he knows he's in the country illegally, he knows
he's trying to get work illegally. He knows in a
place that is the most likely place he's going to

(21:54):
get arrested. And his response is to stay there anyway.
And then his response is, Oh, I'm going to run
across a ten lane interstate highway and then I'm going
to read this story in the La Times and it's
and the whole thrust of the story is it's the

(22:16):
fault of Department Homeland Security, and the attitude is it's
your fault if you support.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Trump's Department of Homeland Security. And here's how they do it.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Of all the people they could quote, they quote a UCLA.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Professor of Chicano Studies, Robert chow Romero. He's the guy.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
At of thousands and thousands of Southern Californians you could
choose to comment on this, they choose this guy, a
UCLA professor of Chicano studies. It just breaks my heart
because it's just so inhumane. These horrible, unjust ice policies
have led to someone dying. No, the guy died because
he tried to run across a ten lane freeway on

(23:05):
his own, unpursued. Maybe he was pursued in the parking lot,
but nobody chased him across the freeway.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
That's just false.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Why would you highlight Why would that be the first
quote you use? And then of course they talked to
somebody who met one of the family members of the
guy who was hit by the car. I feel so
bad for her, I feel so bad for the families.
These are people trying to escape whatever horrible atrocities they

(23:38):
came from for a better life. You're assuming that they're
suffering horrible atrocities. They may just have come here in
order to earn money that wasn't going to be taxed,
and it was going to be more money than they
make at home. But stop assuming that out of the
ten million people that flooded over the border, they were
all fleeing atrocities. No, they came here because we left

(24:00):
the front door open. And this is how the La
Times and their gaggle of community college writers presents the news.
And it's just and and and there's nothing else to
go to. You can't read another unbiased rational logical. Everything's

(24:25):
emotional manipulation. Everything is supposed to make. I mean, maybe
these young female reporters are all sobbing away over this,
but I'm looking at this and I'm saying, how about
just a line about how they've been warned for ten years.
They've certainly been warned. The last seven months, they've certainly
seen enough. I mean, the whole riot in LA was

(24:46):
partly over a home depot raid. There's all these court cases.
It's clear Trump administration is going to do this anyway,
I'm just.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
It's so so frustrating. It's just it's so ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A M.
Six forty.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Coming up after the two o'clock hour.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Yesterday, we told you about the guy who threw the
subway sandwich at the at the Ice agent. We found
out what the what the sandwich was, and I know
it's probably kept you up all night and and you're
you're dying to know just what kind of sandwich was it.
It was a Department of Justice worker. This guy works

(25:33):
for the DOJ. He handles international affairs and extra duiding fugitives,
and he I think he got probably really drunk and
was so incensed at the at the Ice agents in Washington,
d C. That he whipped the sandwich and hit one
of the Ice agents in the chest. And you may say, well,

(25:53):
that's not a big deal. Well he's he's got a
federal felony charge against him and it could be a
year in prison, So it is a big deal. We'll
talk about that coming up. You may have heard that
the authorities here in southern California, in San Bernardino County

(26:18):
have arrested fifty six people.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
A massive cockfighting ring. You know how big.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
They seized thirty five hundred roosters. This is one of
the largest cockfighting rings I've ever heard of. They arrested
fifty six people, They confiscated thirty five hundred roosters. And
you know what they do with cockfighting is they tie
razor blades to the rooster's legs and then send them

(26:53):
to do battle. They also, and here's a surprise, they
confiscated many five our arms and drug paraphernalia. It was
called Operation Crowing Rooster. And they did this for six weeks,
twenty six search warrants all over San Bernardino County. You know,

(27:13):
we really got to tighten up the Yes, we had
to tighten up the immigration laws.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
What kind of a culture is this.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Thirty five hundred roosters fighting each other with with razor
blades or the knives or whatever the hell they use.
Now I'm glad Debra isn't here today because they had
to euthanize all thirty five hundred birds. That's thirty five
hundred to dead roosters. Fifty six people arrested, ten charged

(27:42):
with a felony, and the others charged with various misdemeanors,
including animal cruelty. This is big business, all right. Wait,
this is not thirty five hundred roosters by accident. They
seized more than two hundred and fifty nine thousand dollars
in cash, twelve firearms, three ghost cuns, twelve ounces of cocaine.

(28:07):
About twelve ounce is a meth, six grams of fentanyl.
I guess this is what guys do is they get
whacked out on coke and meth and then start betting
on the on the cock fights. Yeah, i'd I these
these kind of cultures need need not be admitted there.

(28:30):
Actually there's a there's a assemblymen who wants to put
a limit on the number of roosters that you own.
It's called the cock Fighting Cruelty Act, and you would
penalize anybody if you have more than three roosters per
