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 live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Especially for those
of you who are are not listening right now. If
you are not listening and you're missing this, go to
the iHeartRadio app after four o'clock because that's where we
post the podcast, John Cobelt's show on demand, same as
(00:22):
the radio show, and you pick up whatever you missed
out on. That's only for people not listening right now.
This actually just this story just broke a short time ago,
and I want to get right to this.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Would you believe Debor just told me.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Today's the fifth anniversary since Governor Newsom announced the lockdown,
like the Big Lockdown, this stay at home order, And
to celebrate this special day, Newsom today insisted to reporters
that he is going to keep spending wildly on illegal
alien healthcare, even though it appears it bankrupting the state.
(01:02):
If you've been following this story, it's been a slow build.
But a few weeks ago it was revealed that Newsom
had had planned to spend six billion dollars on illegal
alien healthcare. Then it was over nine billion, and he
had to take out a three and a half billion
(01:23):
dollar loan. Now they're another three billion dollars short. So
it looks like this illegal alien healthcare is over twelve
billion dollars, double what they thought it would be. Listen
to this report from Ashley Zavala from KCRA in Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
This week, the governor asked lawmakers to approve another two
point eight billion dollar loan on top of the loan
he got last week for three point four billion dollars.
So California is now making up a six point two
billion dollar shortfall for its medical finds. This money is
meant to keep the state's medical program funded through June.
State lawmakers recently expanded this program that provides health care
(02:07):
to low income people, to all Californians, regardless of immigration status.
But Governor Newsom's administration and Democratic state lawmakers underestimated just
how much that program would cost this year alone. They
estimated it would cost six billion dollars, but at last check,
the cost is now estimated to be nine point five
billion by July. That's just an estimate. The federal government
(02:30):
financially helps with medical programs, but obviously the state does
not expect the Trump administration to help with the health
care for indocumented people, but the governor refuses to solely
blame the expensive cost to the state of providing it.
I asked him about this today. Is there anything you
can share about just the undocumented healthcare expansion and how
(02:52):
that's contributing to what's happening right now?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That's partial.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
You've seen in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Indiana that don't have that expansion,
even more sizeable supplementals into their Medicaid system. This was
something we previewed in the January budget. It's something that
I previewed in separate conversations.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
With other governors.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
It was highlighted actually in December at the Democratic Governors
Association as an issue we were seeing.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Okay, okay, okay, sad you see how slick he is.
Trust me.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
This entire shortfall is because of illegal alien healthcare. The
whole thing, illegal alien health care is costing state taxpayers
over twelve billion dollars. They're six billion short because they
didn't know how many illegal aliens they had in the state.
Right almost by definition, we don't know how many are here.
How do you count people aren't supposed to be here, right,
(03:44):
So it's twelve and a half billion dollars. So he says, well,
it's partial. And I noticed he does this. There is
a pattern to his deception into his lives. He starts
talking about other states. It's always like, well, they had
a problem in Pennsylvania. Well, they had a problem in Indiana.
Trust me, there's not an illegal alien problem in Pennsylvania
(04:05):
and Indiana. So he's trying to make it sound like, well,
you know, there's shortfalls all over the country for all
kinds of reasons. We talked about this at the at
the Governor's at the Governor's conference. In other words, everybody's
got different problems. In ours happens to be illegal aliens.
But even if there weren't illegal aliens, we'd you see
what he does. He confuses the situation. He puts the
(04:27):
whole thing in a blender until your head starts to spin.
You forget what the original question was. He is doing
something incredibly stupid. There are probably, I don't know, three
four million illegal aliens in the state, more than that
because after the Biden surge. Who knows, right, is it
(04:47):
five million, six million? Nobody knows. He doesn't know. That's
why they can't budget for this, and so this is
really blown a hole in the budget, and he's six.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And a half billion short.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Now he's borrowing money, which is going to cost an interest,
and now they're going to have to take money out
of what rainy day funds, special reserves, start cut programs
that taxpayers benefit from. This is insanity. No sane person
would blow twelve billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare, just
(05:26):
any random person walking onto California land.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Why would you do this with all.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
The things that are screwed up in the state, Why
would you do this so much for him passing himself
off as this moderate guy trying to find common ground,
you know, to be more centrist. Talk to Republicans, right
wing activists on my podcast. Yes, although he's not fooling
many people talk about that later play the rest of
(05:54):
this story.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Democratic Governors Association as an issue we were seeing across
the country. So all of that is exactly as we
advertise in January.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
We're working through that.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
The good news you've seen the revenues in the state
we're collecting are above projections. The economy continues to be
remarkably resilient.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
This is the last of the loan requests from your
administration for the year.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Do you think, Yeah, And you've seen this in the past.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
This is we've done.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
These letters the legislature, We've done these supplementals in the past.
As I said, I noted four states that I'm just
more familiar.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
With any of the immigrant healthcare.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That's not on. It's not on my doctor.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
But that said, everything's the reality.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
The reality play that back.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
If you didn't hear the question, it's about whether they're
going to uh stop providing legal immigrant health care.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
And I noted four states that I'm just more familiar.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
With rolling back any of the immigrant healthcare.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's not on. It's not on my doctor.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
But that said, everything the realities are the realities. You
have to balance budgets. We balance our budget, revenues holding up.
I don't see anything significant along the lines of what some.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Have asserted, but I do see the need to make.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Adjustments and changes broadly in the Medicaid system.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Again, the governor there noting that he's likely not going
to roll back that program that provides healthcare to undocumented
people here in California. But meanwhile, Republicans are blaming Democrats
for creating financial insecurity with the state's important healthcare program.
As some of the men Carl Demayo told reporters today,
state leaders need to immediately rescind the healthcare for undocumented
people because he says the state simply cannot afford it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That answer was double slick as he went on. He says, well,
you have to make changes and adjustments, but he's not
going to roll back illegal alien healthcare. So then who's
healthcare you're rolling back. There's two categories here, legal citizens
entitled by law for government subsidized, government paid healthcare under
(08:05):
medicals is for the poorest people in California, although I
think like about twenty five percent of the state is
in poverty, so it's a lot of people. We have
a huge medical bill. But he says he's not going
to make any changes to illegal alien health care. But
there's going to be changes, so I guess citizens have
(08:28):
to take it, have to take it in the shirts. Again,
it's going to affect Americans healthcare in California, but not
people who came in god knows what country.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Does that include the criminals?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
By the way, since this is a sanctuary state and
Newsom is actively harboring as is Karen Bass, thousands of criminals,
like convicted criminals. It's been documented. They're the criminals here,
the criminals in the home country. They're going to get
their healthcare paid. We got to pay for their gunshot wounds.
I guess in the emergency room. And yeah, Trump's administration
(09:06):
is not going to pay for this. So the gap
is going to get even wider. They've taken a federal
program that's partly funded by the federal government, expanded it
to illegal aliens, all of whom were breaking the law.
They're blowing twelve billion dollars. They got a six billion
dollars shortfall. And he's not going to run. Not on
(09:28):
my docket, is what he said. He is crazy, he
is insane and all his bull crap about his podcast.
And we've got to be more moderate, we got to
be more centrist. I got to hear the other side.
I have to engage. It's just full of crap. It's
(09:49):
to try to manipulate stupid people. You'd have to be
stupid to buy anything from this guy. Oh my god,
twelve What could we do with twelve billion dollars in
this state?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
What can we do with twelve billion dollars that he
gave a way to people who broke in over the border.
They have no legal claim, no legal right to anything,
and Gavin's given him twelve billion dollars of your money.
And you get up every day and you go to
work and Chunky, your paycheck is going to foreigners coming
(10:20):
over the border, breaking the law, and he's all smug
and arrogant about it because he's morally superior.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Moistline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven
seven Moist eighty six. He usual the talkback feature on
the iHeartRadio at the Moistline is coming back Friday. I
just told you about and we just played a report
from KCRTV in Sacramento that Governor Newsom is not going
to roll back his illegal alien healthcare program even though
(10:58):
they blew through their budget by six billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
They thought it would.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Cost six billion, now it's costing twelve billion. They don't
have the money they needed to borrow three and a
half billion dollars just to get to the end of
this month. That's how short they are now. He's asking
the legislature to find another three billion to get through
June total financial disaster. But when he was asked, are
(11:24):
you going to roll back the illegal alien health care program?
He says, not on my docket. And I told you.
In order to finance illegal alien health care, everybody else
has got to get screwed, right, all the other taxpayers.
You know who gets screwed. Right at the top of
the list, military veterans in California.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Since Newsom likes to.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Point out other states, like he said, well, other states
like Pennsylvania and Indiana are having these medicaid problems. Well,
do you know forty nine states in the Union give
some kind of tax exemption for military retirement income, you know,
(12:08):
military pensions. If you're in the military and you're on
a military pension, in forty nine states, you get some
kind of tax exemption on that income.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
M the fiftieth state.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Guess which state is the only state in the Union
that doesn't give a tax exemption to military veterans. Yes,
that would be California. You cannot get a one dollar
tax break from the state of California. You've got to
pay full California taxes on your military pension. Yes, yes,
(12:44):
that's this.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
This is what makes me crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You know, the the cheap patriotism, the cheap military support
that we have in this country. It's when it comes
to you know, everybody stands for the national anthem in
the flag, everybody stands when the mility terry guy is
getting honored at a baseball game. Right, Everybody says thank
you for your service all the time. But in real
life they get the back of the hand, they get
(13:10):
smacked in the face. You saw how many veterans lived
for four years in front of the VA. They were homeless,
they were living in tents. Took four years to give
him a tiny home on the other side of the
fence in West la.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well, look at this.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
California is the only state in the Union that does
not provide tax exemptions for military retirement income. And this
made cal Matters today calmatters dot org because they have tried.
Somebody in the legislature has tried for eight years. Eight
times they have submitted a bill to give a tax exemption,
(13:52):
and seven times it's lost. Newsom and the Democrats will
not give a tax exemption to military members, but they
will give tens of billions of dollars for legal alien
health care. And of course they don't want to give
the tax exemption. And what do they say, will cost money,
(14:13):
you know where we can't. We can't, we can't sacrifice
that money out of the budget. James Ramos is an
assembly member. Three times he's introduced this bill himself, and
it would allow veterans to exempt up to twenty thousand
dollars of their pensions if they make under one hundred
(14:34):
and twenty five thousand a year. Last year he wanted
to exempt all their income, all their retirement income. So
now he's down to all right, how at twenty thousand.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
They won't do it.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
In Sacramento, they give full medical benefits to any illegal
alien criminal in the state. You mentioned that full medical
benefits with medical but for the military, not a dollar
of their pension is exempted from state tax. State Senator
Kelly Sciarto, a Republican, introduced a similar bill in the Senate.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
We have this is no small number.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We have almost a million and a half veterans in
California and one hundred and forty one thousand received retirement income.
Apparently veterans are leaving the state of California at a
higher rate than any other state in the country.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Wow, that adds up. Huh.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
There is one state that doesn't have any tax exemptions
for their pension, and that same state has the most
military people fleeing. Twenty eight percent of military people have
(15:59):
either moved out or died in the last twenty years.
We used to have one hundred and ninety five thousand,
Now we have one hundred and forty thousand. According to
the president of the San Diego Military Advisory Council, David Boone,
veterans leave the state for many reasons. The primary factor, though,
is the cost of living. Military retirees only get twenty
(16:29):
nine thousand a year, and we want a tax exempt
that twenty nine thousand. It's about six hundred dollars from
each veteran. We won't give them the six hundred dollars break.
That's how much tax they have to pay, and we
won't give them the six hundred dollars break. But we're
(16:51):
blowing twelve billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare. But let
you you elect this guy, you elect this legislature. The
veterans got a smack in the face. The illegal aliens
free healthcare, including the criminals.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
How shocking is this.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
But you know, none of us know this, right, none
of this has ever covered until today. I never knew
we were the only state in the Union that didn't
give an a tax exemption for pensions military pensions.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, haven't you know.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Just in the last few weeks we've found out just
how many billions are blowing on illegal alien healthcare.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And the newsom was like, Wow, not on my docket.
I'm not changing anything.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Never seen any more anyone more smug and self satisfied
and arrogant than him. All Right, we got a lot
coming up.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart Apping, you could listen to what you missed at
two o'clock. Trump says he's ending Secret Service protection for
Biden's adult children. Normally, normally, presidents, vice presidents and their
(18:19):
families are given Secret Service protection throughout their time in office,
and the presidents and the spouses can keep it for
the rest of their lives. But the question is now,
is Joe and Joe Biden's secret Service Protection. Next, we're
going to talk with Don Mahalik. He's a secret Service
(18:39):
agent who analyzes these sort of things. You may you
may have heard that if there's going to be a
recall of Karen Bass, Rick Caruso does not want to
be a part of it. He came out yesterday released
a statement that this is this is not a good
idea because he thinks everybody ought to focus on rebuilding
(18:59):
the Pades and all the other towns that have been affected.
He wrote, we must rebuild our communities, get people back
into their homes, and open businesses that have been closed
or lost. That must be her total focus. There's a
time and place for politics, but not now. It is
not now. That is that the recall is being led
(19:20):
by Nicole Shanahan, who used to be the running mate
of Robert F. Kennedy Junior back when he was running
for president. She is an extremely wealthy former tech executive
and she was financing RFK Junior. She's now financing the recall,
and the recall is not easy. You know, things are
(19:43):
obviously rigged in Los Angeles. We should have had Gascon recalled,
but the signatures fell just short. We should have had
Mike Bondam, the Westside councilman, recalled the signatures fell just short.
It's amazing how many different ways they find to throw
signature is out and the way the system is, it
takes so long to make your complaints heard in court that.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
You might as well.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You might as well give up because then the next
election is going to arrive. And I think that's what
would happen here. If you think that whoever counts the
signatures on these recall petitions is going to do it, honestly,
you're out of your mind. The La City government, like
the La County government, is dishonest and corrupt right down
(20:34):
to their bone marrow.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
They are.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's the government. We have city council mostly corrupt. I
mean about a third of them are in jail or
prison and headed or headed to prison. So when you
have dishonest, cold blooded psychopaths, really, I mean, they don't
care what happens to the city as long as they're
(20:58):
getting their share. The odds of getting I think it's
this three hundred and thirty thousand signatures approved by Bass's government. Yeah,
good luck with that three hundred and thirty thousand. They'd
have to get him in four months too, so and
Caruso is reading it and realized he's actually the best
thing for his if he wants to run for mayor,
(21:21):
best thing for him to do is make a success
out of this organization he has set up to help
facilitate people who want to rebuild steadfast La and he's
trying to give them the tools so that they could
get back on their feet quicker. And if that's any
kind of a success, then that's a great thing to
run on, because he is literally is helping to rebuild
(21:43):
the city with his with his organization. But what happens
in a recall, and I think we all learned this
lesson with the Newsom recall. If you don't have a major,
real candidate, but you just have a bunch of people
you never heard of and a couple of nuts, you'll
get Larry Elder. You'll get Larry Elder completely screwing the
(22:06):
Newsom recall because he was the kind of guy that
most people don't like. You know what you needed to
do to be Gavin Newsom is have a normal guy, yeah,
a centrist, a moderate somebody without not an outrageous bomb
thrower that had a chance of beating Newsom. In fact,
(22:28):
the race was pretty close before Larry Elder jumped in,
and Larry Elder just inverted the whole thing because so
many people in California either already didn't like him or
they listened to him for about five minutes and then
decided not to like him. I it's just a bad idea,
and if that happens here, better to go through a
(22:49):
real process.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Better go through a real primary process.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Because otherwise you could if you have a splintered field
and eleven people or one hundred and eleven people running,
you might get a nut squeaking out with the victory.
And and then and then you got Bass for another
four years, and you know, maybe she could burn down
Hollywood Next time also came out that Bass approved a
(23:15):
pay raise for Kristin Crowley before the Palisades fire. Gave
her a two and a half percent pay raise former
fire chief merit based pay raise. How about that? And uh,
this is before Bass started lying about her claiming that
(23:36):
she didn't get a personal weather update before the windstorm.
I can't believe that story is still on.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
The record, right.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
She hasn't been forced to tell the truth. I've been
forced to backtrack. From that absurdity. That's that's what we
get in a one party We have like a one
party media for the most part, there are some exceptions.
We have a one party state. So Karen Baskets spout
something just wildly absurd that she didn't get a personal
weather forecast and warning from Crowley, and everybody kind of
(24:10):
nods along. This is worth playing. This is from a
week ago. This is Bass talking to a radio reporter
that she still plans running for reelection.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
We filed for reelection long before the.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Disaster.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Have there been any changes, There are no changes.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Still running.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
I am here now and I am running.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
And have you ever thought about stepping down amid all
of that?
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Absolutely not. I would never quit on my city. This
is where I was born and raised. Did I know
this was a difficult job? Absolutely? Am I ready for
the job?
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Most definitely. Would you be able to emotionally accept an
election loss?
Speaker 7 (24:55):
Well, I mean anybody that runs for office. If you're
not emotionally ready to accept that, then you're in the
wrong business.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What a pile of horse species that was. What a
bunch of cliches and platitudes. I'm not gonna quit on
my city. I'll abandon the city while it burns down.
But I'm not gonna quit on it when it comes
time for reelection. And she emotionally accept the loss?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (25:20):
People have to emotionally accept their entire lives being destroyed?
Speaker 1 (25:26):
The hell? Like what goes on? Could you?
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Could you treat her any softer? Could you be more
cuddling and warm?
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Oh? My god?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Like she's a fragile doll? Can you emotionally accept the loss?
Be sure you're gonna be okay, I'm not gonna quit
on my city. You did already, that's the thing she
already did. And well, I forgot how many eight eight thousand?
(26:00):
It was about five six thousand homes burn, So you
already quit on the city.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
But you've just got this, you know, colossal? I would
you got this colossal ego? Yeah? Go ahead, play it again.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
I would never quit on my city.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
How about if we get on our hands and knees
and beg you pretty please?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Would you quit on the city.

Speaker 8 (28:11):
This better not be an animal story.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Then well, well it.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Is, but probably an animal way down your list?
Speaker 8 (28:19):
Is it being harmed?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
No, no, it's already dead. It's a rat.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You're you're not.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
You don't have any I don't want to see rats murdered.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
No, no, it's all it's already dead. And apparently a
homeless guy picked it up and was hungry god, and
started eating it alive.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
No, no, it's dead.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
No, I mean it was eating it when it was alive.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
No oh no, no, no, no, okay, rat. Well actually
I don't know for sure. No, I can't say. I
can't tell. Yeah, you can't tell. But I've watched the
video and yeah, he takes it. He takes a good
chunk out of it.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
He was just gonna eat an apple. I forget that.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Anyway, somebody saw this was horrified, took about a minute
fifteen second video, and you'll hear the audio audio reaction one, four,
nine and.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Third Avenul, I can't this is unbelievable. Look at this, Nah,
I gotta get.
Speaker 7 (29:27):
Out the balls.
Speaker 5 (29:29):
All is he gonna do next with this?
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Red?
Speaker 5 (29:36):
He had it?
Speaker 7 (29:45):
He ate it?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
This is it.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
I don't find that you were in this.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Can tell you that six times? Yeah, I know, he
ate it.
Speaker 8 (29:57):
He ate it because she's in disbeliever.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
She said that they don't pay pay her enough. But
she stopped and recorded it.
Speaker 8 (30:12):
Why why would you? I would not record that.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
John, I'm not gonna lie. I almost vomited.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah, you know what, John, and how you were talking
about the best way to lose weight is not I'm
not eating the rest of the day.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Well, there you go. Watch this video.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
No, I'm serious. I haven't banana and apple here.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
And I was hungry the rat this great New York
Post headline man seen casually eating pieces of bloody New
York City rat corpse. I'm stunning, churning, stomach churning video. Yeah,
there you go.
Speaker 8 (30:50):
My stomach is churning.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I watched the video.
Speaker 8 (30:53):
Of course you did. And you're probably hungry, are you okay?
Speaker 2 (31:02):
And yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine. I saw a guy
in Santa Barbara and he was sitting on a cement
bench and he had a squirrel. And my wife and
I both saw this a long time ago. And he
tore open the squirrel. I peeled it like his furry.
Speaker 8 (31:24):
Oh and was it alive?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
No, no, it was Noah was dead. It was dead,
but another homeless guy. And he was hungry. And you
just heard the rip of his furry skin. And we
left before he did into it, and we did not
stop and take video.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Good, Okay, when we come back.
Speaker 8 (31:45):
You not do those stories anymore.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
But that's.
Speaker 8 (31:51):
I seriously, I'm sick to my stomach.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
I know.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
Sorry, sorry, not.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Sorry, sorry, not sorry.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
To o'clock we got after Deverra's News, We're gonna talk
with Don mahallick because Trump says he's ending the Secret
Service protection for Biden's adult children. Could he end it
for Biden? Well, Don mohallick is a former, he's a
retired senior Secret Service ations.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
I'm sorry, I can't control myself. And he's in ABC
News Law Enforcement.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (32:27):
I don't know. Well, there's a lot. Deborah Mark Live

Speaker 2 (00:02):

you are not listening and you're missing this, go to

post the podcast, John Cobelt's show on demand, same as
(00:22):
the radio show, and you pick up whatever you missed
out on. That's only for people not listening right now.
This actually just this story just broke a short time ago,
and I want to get right to this.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Would you believe Debor just told me.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Today's the fifth anniversary since Governor Newsom announced the lockdown,
like the Big Lockdown, this stay at home order, And
to celebrate this special day, Newsom today insisted to reporters
that he is going to keep spending wildly on illegal
alien healthcare, even though it appears it bankrupting the state.
(01:02):
If you've been following this story, it's been a slow build.
But a few weeks ago it was revealed that Newsom
had had planned to spend six billion dollars on illegal
alien healthcare. Then it was over nine billion, and he
had to take out a three and a half billion
(01:23):
dollar loan. Now they're another three billion dollars short. So
it looks like this illegal alien healthcare is over twelve
billion dollars, double what they thought it would be. Listen
to this report from Ashley Zavala from KCRA in Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
This week, the governor asked lawmakers to approve another two
point eight billion dollar loan on top of the loan
he got last week for three point four billion dollars.
So California is now making up a six point two
billion dollar shortfall for its medical finds. This money is
meant to keep the state's medical program funded through June.
State lawmakers recently expanded this program that provides health care
(02:07):
to low income people, to all Californians, regardless of immigration status.
But Governor Newsom's administration and Democratic state lawmakers underestimated just
how much that program would cost this year alone. They
estimated it would cost six billion dollars, but at last check,
the cost is now estimated to be nine point five
billion by July. That's just an estimate. The federal government
(02:30):
financially helps with medical programs, but obviously the state does
not expect the Trump administration to help with the health
care for indocumented people, but the governor refuses to solely
blame the expensive cost to the state of providing it.
I asked him about this today. Is there anything you
can share about just the undocumented healthcare expansion and how
(02:52):
that's contributing to what's happening right now?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That's partial.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
You've seen in Pennsylvania, Colorado, Indiana that don't have that expansion,
even more sizeable supplementals into their Medicaid system. This was
something we previewed in the January budget. It's something that
I previewed in separate conversations.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
With other governors.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
It was highlighted actually in December at the Democratic Governors
Association as an issue we were seeing.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Okay, okay, okay, sad you see how slick he is.
Trust me.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
This entire shortfall is because of illegal alien healthcare. The
whole thing, illegal alien health care is costing state taxpayers
over twelve billion dollars. They're six billion short because they
didn't know how many illegal aliens they had in the state.
Right almost by definition, we don't know how many are here.
How do you count people aren't supposed to be here, right,
(03:44):
So it's twelve and a half billion dollars. So he says, well,
it's partial. And I noticed he does this. There is
a pattern to his deception into his lives. He starts
talking about other states. It's always like, well, they had
a problem in Pennsylvania. Well, they had a problem in Indiana.
Trust me, there's not an illegal alien problem in Pennsylvania
(04:05):
and Indiana. So he's trying to make it sound like, well,
you know, there's shortfalls all over the country for all
kinds of reasons. We talked about this at the at
the Governor's at the Governor's conference. In other words, everybody's
got different problems. In ours happens to be illegal aliens.
But even if there weren't illegal aliens, we'd you see
what he does. He confuses the situation. He puts the
(04:27):
whole thing in a blender until your head starts to spin.
You forget what the original question was. He is doing
something incredibly stupid. There are probably, I don't know, three
four million illegal aliens in the state, more than that
because after the Biden surge. Who knows, right, is it
(04:47):
five million, six million? Nobody knows. He doesn't know. That's
why they can't budget for this, and so this is
really blown a hole in the budget, and he's six.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And a half billion short.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Now he's borrowing money, which is going to cost an interest,
and now they're going to have to take money out
of what rainy day funds, special reserves, start cut programs
that taxpayers benefit from. This is insanity. No sane person
would blow twelve billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare, just
(05:26):
any random person walking onto California land.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Why would you do this with all.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
The things that are screwed up in the state, Why
would you do this so much for him passing himself
off as this moderate guy trying to find common ground,
you know, to be more centrist. Talk to Republicans, right
wing activists on my podcast. Yes, although he's not fooling
many people talk about that later play the rest of
(05:54):
this story.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Democratic Governors Association as an issue we were seeing across
the country. So all of that is exactly as we
advertise in January.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
We're working through that.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
The good news you've seen the revenues in the state
we're collecting are above projections. The economy continues to be
remarkably resilient.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
This is the last of the loan requests from your
administration for the year.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
Do you think, Yeah, And you've seen this in the past.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
This is we've done.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
These letters the legislature, We've done these supplementals in the past.
As I said, I noted four states that I'm just
more familiar.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
With any of the immigrant healthcare.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
That's not on. It's not on my doctor.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
But that said, everything's the reality.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
The reality play that back.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
If you didn't hear the question, it's about whether they're
going to uh stop providing legal immigrant health care.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
And I noted four states that I'm just more familiar.
Speaker 5 (06:51):
With rolling back any of the immigrant healthcare.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
That's not on. It's not on my doctor.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
But that said, everything the realities are the realities. You
have to balance budgets. We balance our budget, revenues holding up.
I don't see anything significant along the lines of what some.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Have asserted, but I do see the need to make.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Adjustments and changes broadly in the Medicaid system.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Again, the governor there noting that he's likely not going
to roll back that program that provides healthcare to undocumented
people here in California. But meanwhile, Republicans are blaming Democrats
for creating financial insecurity with the state's important healthcare program.
As some of the men Carl Demayo told reporters today,
state leaders need to immediately rescind the healthcare for undocumented
people because he says the state simply cannot afford it.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That answer was double slick as he went on. He says, well,
you have to make changes and adjustments, but he's not
going to roll back illegal alien healthcare. So then who's
healthcare you're rolling back. There's two categories here, legal citizens
entitled by law for government subsidized, government paid healthcare under
(08:05):
medicals is for the poorest people in California, although I
think like about twenty five percent of the state is
in poverty, so it's a lot of people. We have
a huge medical bill. But he says he's not going
to make any changes to illegal alien health care. But
there's going to be changes, so I guess citizens have
(08:28):
to take it, have to take it in the shirts. Again,
it's going to affect Americans healthcare in California, but not
people who came in god knows what country.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Does that include the criminals?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
By the way, since this is a sanctuary state and
Newsom is actively harboring as is Karen Bass, thousands of criminals,
like convicted criminals. It's been documented. They're the criminals here,
the criminals in the home country. They're going to get
their healthcare paid. We got to pay for their gunshot wounds.
I guess in the emergency room. And yeah, Trump's administration
(09:06):
is not going to pay for this. So the gap
is going to get even wider. They've taken a federal
program that's partly funded by the federal government, expanded it
to illegal aliens, all of whom were breaking the law.
They're blowing twelve billion dollars. They got a six billion
dollars shortfall. And he's not going to run. Not on
(09:28):
my docket, is what he said. He is crazy, he
is insane and all his bull crap about his podcast.
And we've got to be more moderate, we got to
be more centrist. I got to hear the other side.
I have to engage. It's just full of crap. It's
(09:49):
to try to manipulate stupid people. You'd have to be
stupid to buy anything from this guy. Oh my god,
twelve What could we do with twelve billion dollars in
this state?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Huh?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
What can we do with twelve billion dollars that he
gave a way to people who broke in over the border.
They have no legal claim, no legal right to anything,
and Gavin's given him twelve billion dollars of your money.
And you get up every day and you go to
work and Chunky, your paycheck is going to foreigners coming
(10:20):
over the border, breaking the law, and he's all smug
and arrogant about it because he's morally superior.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Moistline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight seven
seven Moist eighty six. He usual the talkback feature on
the iHeartRadio at the Moistline is coming back Friday. I
just told you about and we just played a report
from KCRTV in Sacramento that Governor Newsom is not going
to roll back his illegal alien healthcare program even though
(10:58):
they blew through their budget by six billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
They thought it would.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Cost six billion, now it's costing twelve billion. They don't
have the money they needed to borrow three and a
half billion dollars just to get to the end of
this month. That's how short they are now. He's asking
the legislature to find another three billion to get through
June total financial disaster. But when he was asked, are
(11:24):
you going to roll back the illegal alien health care program?
He says, not on my docket. And I told you.
In order to finance illegal alien health care, everybody else
has got to get screwed, right, all the other taxpayers.
You know who gets screwed. Right at the top of
the list, military veterans in California.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Since Newsom likes to.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Point out other states, like he said, well, other states
like Pennsylvania and Indiana are having these medicaid problems. Well,
do you know forty nine states in the Union give
some kind of tax exemption for military retirement income, you know,
(12:08):
military pensions. If you're in the military and you're on
a military pension, in forty nine states, you get some
kind of tax exemption on that income.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
M the fiftieth state.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Guess which state is the only state in the Union
that doesn't give a tax exemption to military veterans. Yes,
that would be California. You cannot get a one dollar
tax break from the state of California. You've got to
pay full California taxes on your military pension. Yes, yes,
(12:44):
that's this.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
This is what makes me crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
You know, the the cheap patriotism, the cheap military support
that we have in this country. It's when it comes
to you know, everybody stands for the national anthem in
the flag, everybody stands when the mility terry guy is
getting honored at a baseball game. Right, Everybody says thank
you for your service all the time. But in real
life they get the back of the hand, they get
(13:10):
smacked in the face. You saw how many veterans lived
for four years in front of the VA. They were homeless,
they were living in tents. Took four years to give
him a tiny home on the other side of the
fence in West la.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Well, look at this.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
California is the only state in the Union that does
not provide tax exemptions for military retirement income. And this
made cal Matters today calmatters dot org because they have tried.
Somebody in the legislature has tried for eight years. Eight
times they have submitted a bill to give a tax exemption,
(13:52):
and seven times it's lost. Newsom and the Democrats will
not give a tax exemption to military members, but they
will give tens of billions of dollars for legal alien
health care. And of course they don't want to give
the tax exemption. And what do they say, will cost money,
(14:13):
you know where we can't. We can't, we can't sacrifice
that money out of the budget. James Ramos is an
assembly member. Three times he's introduced this bill himself, and
it would allow veterans to exempt up to twenty thousand
dollars of their pensions if they make under one hundred
(14:34):
and twenty five thousand a year. Last year he wanted
to exempt all their income, all their retirement income. So
now he's down to all right, how at twenty thousand.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
They won't do it.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
In Sacramento, they give full medical benefits to any illegal
alien criminal in the state. You mentioned that full medical
benefits with medical but for the military, not a dollar
of their pension is exempted from state tax. State Senator
Kelly Sciarto, a Republican, introduced a similar bill in the Senate.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
We have this is no small number.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
We have almost a million and a half veterans in
California and one hundred and forty one thousand received retirement income.
Apparently veterans are leaving the state of California at a
higher rate than any other state in the country.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Wow, that adds up. Huh.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
There is one state that doesn't have any tax exemptions
for their pension, and that same state has the most
military people fleeing. Twenty eight percent of military people have
(15:59):
either moved out or died in the last twenty years.
We used to have one hundred and ninety five thousand,
Now we have one hundred and forty thousand. According to
the president of the San Diego Military Advisory Council, David Boone,
veterans leave the state for many reasons. The primary factor, though,
is the cost of living. Military retirees only get twenty
(16:29):
nine thousand a year, and we want a tax exempt
that twenty nine thousand. It's about six hundred dollars from
each veteran. We won't give them the six hundred dollars break.
That's how much tax they have to pay, and we
won't give them the six hundred dollars break. But we're
(16:51):
blowing twelve billion dollars on illegal alien healthcare. But let
you you elect this guy, you elect this legislature. The
veterans got a smack in the face. The illegal aliens
free healthcare, including the criminals.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
How shocking is this.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
But you know, none of us know this, right, none
of this has ever covered until today. I never knew
we were the only state in the Union that didn't
give an a tax exemption for pensions military pensions.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Well, haven't you know.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Just in the last few weeks we've found out just
how many billions are blowing on illegal alien healthcare.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
And the newsom was like, Wow, not on my docket.
I'm not changing anything.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Never seen any more anyone more smug and self satisfied
and arrogant than him. All Right, we got a lot
coming up.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart Apping, you could listen to what you missed at
two o'clock. Trump says he's ending Secret Service protection for
Biden's adult children. Normally, normally, presidents, vice presidents and their
(18:19):
families are given Secret Service protection throughout their time in office,
and the presidents and the spouses can keep it for
the rest of their lives. But the question is now,
is Joe and Joe Biden's secret Service Protection. Next, we're
going to talk with Don Mahalik. He's a secret Service
(18:39):
agent who analyzes these sort of things. You may you
may have heard that if there's going to be a
recall of Karen Bass, Rick Caruso does not want to
be a part of it. He came out yesterday released
a statement that this is this is not a good
idea because he thinks everybody ought to focus on rebuilding
(18:59):
the Pades and all the other towns that have been affected.
He wrote, we must rebuild our communities, get people back
into their homes, and open businesses that have been closed
or lost. That must be her total focus. There's a
time and place for politics, but not now. It is
not now. That is that the recall is being led
(19:20):
by Nicole Shanahan, who used to be the running mate
of Robert F. Kennedy Junior back when he was running
for president. She is an extremely wealthy former tech executive
and she was financing RFK Junior. She's now financing the recall,
and the recall is not easy. You know, things are
(19:43):
obviously rigged in Los Angeles. We should have had Gascon recalled,
but the signatures fell just short. We should have had
Mike Bondam, the Westside councilman, recalled the signatures fell just short.
It's amazing how many different ways they find to throw
signature is out and the way the system is, it
takes so long to make your complaints heard in court that.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
You might as well.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
You might as well give up because then the next
election is going to arrive. And I think that's what
would happen here. If you think that whoever counts the
signatures on these recall petitions is going to do it, honestly,
you're out of your mind. The La City government, like
the La County government, is dishonest and corrupt right down
(20:34):
to their bone marrow.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
They are.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
That's the government. We have city council mostly corrupt. I
mean about a third of them are in jail or
prison and headed or headed to prison. So when you
have dishonest, cold blooded psychopaths, really, I mean, they don't
care what happens to the city as long as they're
(20:58):
getting their share. The odds of getting I think it's
this three hundred and thirty thousand signatures approved by Bass's government. Yeah,
good luck with that three hundred and thirty thousand. They'd
have to get him in four months too, so and
Caruso is reading it and realized he's actually the best
thing for his if he wants to run for mayor,
(21:21):
best thing for him to do is make a success
out of this organization he has set up to help
facilitate people who want to rebuild steadfast La and he's
trying to give them the tools so that they could
get back on their feet quicker. And if that's any
kind of a success, then that's a great thing to
run on, because he is literally is helping to rebuild
(21:43):
the city with his with his organization. But what happens
in a recall, and I think we all learned this
lesson with the Newsom recall. If you don't have a major,
real candidate, but you just have a bunch of people
you never heard of and a couple of nuts, you'll
get Larry Elder. You'll get Larry Elder completely screwing the
(22:06):
Newsom recall because he was the kind of guy that
most people don't like. You know what you needed to
do to be Gavin Newsom is have a normal guy, yeah,
a centrist, a moderate somebody without not an outrageous bomb
thrower that had a chance of beating Newsom. In fact,
(22:28):
the race was pretty close before Larry Elder jumped in,
and Larry Elder just inverted the whole thing because so
many people in California either already didn't like him or
they listened to him for about five minutes and then
decided not to like him. I it's just a bad idea,
and if that happens here, better to go through a
(22:49):
real process.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Better go through a real primary process.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Because otherwise you could if you have a splintered field
and eleven people or one hundred and eleven people running,
you might get a nut squeaking out with the victory.
And and then and then you got Bass for another
four years, and you know, maybe she could burn down
Hollywood Next time also came out that Bass approved a
(23:15):
pay raise for Kristin Crowley before the Palisades fire. Gave
her a two and a half percent pay raise former
fire chief merit based pay raise. How about that? And uh,
this is before Bass started lying about her claiming that
(23:36):
she didn't get a personal weather update before the windstorm.
I can't believe that story is still on.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
The record, right.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
She hasn't been forced to tell the truth. I've been
forced to backtrack. From that absurdity. That's that's what we
get in a one party We have like a one
party media for the most part, there are some exceptions.
We have a one party state. So Karen Baskets spout
something just wildly absurd that she didn't get a personal
weather forecast and warning from Crowley, and everybody kind of
(24:10):
nods along. This is worth playing. This is from a
week ago. This is Bass talking to a radio reporter
that she still plans running for reelection.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
