Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't find AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Blue Penrose sitting in for John Cobelt this afternoon. Thank
you for tuning in. Good to have you along with us.
So kuta Hey becomes the second city in Los Angeles
to cancel Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
They announced on.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Social media that they were postponing the fourth of July
celebration was originally scheduled for July the third. The event
was set to take place at the Cutaey Park starting
at three, going all the way to nine with the
big fireworks show. So a full day, a whole day music,
food trucks, ending with the fireworks show at nine. And
(00:38):
they decided to cancel it. We'll see if more cities
decide to cancel. They joined Bell Gardens now, so two
cities no fun. The update from the CUDAE Vice Mayor
Cynthia Gonzalez.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You remember this chick.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
She is the one that took a selfie video calling
upon gang members.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
To pick a fight with the ice agents.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Effectively, she went on social media and it was it
was like she didn't look. She filmed herself and then
posted it and said where are you guys. Where are
you guys? You're always in turf wars with other gangs. Well,
the biggest gang out there is invading your turf. You
better get in the game. And she was met with
some significant pushback from supporters of law enforcement that said, hey,
(01:30):
that's nobueno.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
What are you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So finally she's now broken her silence, and Cynthia Gomez,
the vice mayor of Kudage, has.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Released a statement, here's our buddy.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
He look.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Alec Michaelson has the story.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez is pushing back against claims that
she was trying to encourage street gangs to.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Confront ICE agents. In a recently deleted.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
TikTok video, the vice mayor says she quote wants to
know where all the cholos are at in LA and
asking whoever the leadership is to get their orders. Alas
then posted that she needed a lawyer and that the
FBI came to her house.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Now she's saying through her attorneys that it was absolutely peaceful.
Does that sound peaceful to you? It is free speech,
I'll say that. You know, sometimes free speech will land
you in jail. But she's saying no, no, no, no, no,
that was just an expression.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It's unbelievable to me.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But it does fall under the category of the lou
Penrose rule. These people are not too liberal, they're not
too progressive. We don't have a liberal or progressive problem.
I hear all this, all this all the time on
talk radio. That, oh, progressive leadership, that's the problem. Now,
this has nothing to do with political philosophy. We have
(02:47):
a maturity problem in Los Angeles. These are very immature people,
very immature people. This is a very childish thing to do.
And this woman is she has a PhD for crying
out loud, but I don't care if she dropped out
of high school. She is certainly mature age wise, but
(03:12):
she's not mature up in the head. Like in the head,
she's still a child because this is childlike. This is
not some game, Madam Vice Mayor. I don't know what
you think you're doing. This is not some game. You
can root for the illegals if you want, and you
can be mean to law and order if you want,
(03:32):
if you want to take sides with the illegals over
the Ice agents, who are the good guys. They're on
our side. The warrants have been signed by judges. You
can yell and scream and jump up, up and down
all you want, but you're not on the side of
good guys. You're on the side of the law breakers.
(03:54):
You can do that if you want to be a
social social justice warrior advocating for illegal you can do
that all day, every day, and maybe you have enough
fans to elevate you.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
But what you can't do is.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Root for the gang members to fight with law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That crosses a line.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And I don't know how you can sleep with I
don't know how you sleep and how you can get
away with arguing that you were not doing that.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
At least issue an apology, at least do that thing
that lawmakers always do, politicians always do.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I misspoke, it came out and artfully I was misunderstood,
like do something. I was drunk at the time. I'm
seeking counseling. I'm going to Betty Ford, whatever you want
to do.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I see politicians do this all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
After they send out a tweet that was clearly over
the line, come up with some kind of an excuse,
but certainly apologize. I'm not going to accept your apology,
but nevertheless, at least you could say, look, I apologize, lou.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
If you don't want to accept my apology, and then
that's on you.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Like do something, but don't try and say that you
didn't mean what you said. That was clearly unsafe for
law enforcement. That was clearly unsafe for ice agents. You know,
gang members are not safe people, and why you think
that they're part of your community is pretty curious to me.
I kind of look at city government to spray paint
(05:28):
over the tagging and clean up the city and hire
police to get rid of the gang members.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's kind of what I want my city to do, right.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You want your city to look more like the good
part of town and less like the bad part of town.
And that's not accomplished by embracing criminal element in your
town and calling upon them to fight federal agents.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
But you do you, you do whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, So the vice mayor, Synthi Gonzalez, she said, look,
this is all free.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Speech, and certainly I'm being taken out of context.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Well.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Gonzalez's attorney has released a statement saying that her message
was peaceful. He says, in part quote, doctor Cynthia Gonzalez
called upon her local community to exercise their First Amendment
rights to free speech and assembly to express their views
on recent ICE enforcement actions. Her message was entirely peaceful
and aimed at encouraging civic engagement through lawful and constructive means.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
As a Box eleven's like Michaelson, I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
All of a sudden, now she becomes your eighth grade
social studies teacher. I'm just calling upon these gang members
to engage in civil discourse. I'm engaged. I'm trying to
get them to step up and peacefully demonstrate. I just
want the gang members to go down to the dollar
Tree and get themselves a white board and make themselves
(06:51):
a sign that says Ice, You're not welcome. I just
want them to stand peacefully on the sidewalk with a
white oak tag that says Ice go home.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I don't want want them to do anything further than that.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And for in no way, shape or form did I
suggest they do anything other than get themselves some dry
mark boards and stand and exercise their First Amendment run.
What a load of crap. Oh my goodness, lou Penrose.
Info John Coblt on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Loup Penrose Info John Coblt on KFI AM six forty
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So, the City of.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Los Angeles and the Office of the Governor, for the
most part, I guess have been They've been notified by
the US House Oversight Committee.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The City of Los Angeles now has until Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's Friday to turn over any communication records related to
the anti Porto anti deportation protests. Is that what they
call calling it now the anti anti deportation protests. The
Congression Committee launched an investigation to Governor Gavin Newsom and
Mayor Aaron Bass this morning, and they have exactly a week.
The committee requested that Newsom and Bass handover all documents
(08:14):
and communications related to the demonstrations among their two offices,
state law enforcement, local law enforcement, and federal entities by
June twenty seventh. Bass and Newsom were also asked to
provide all records of communication, including video dispatch logs, and
anything else that is on their phone. So, look, this
(08:35):
is a bit of a show. It really bothers me
when Congress does these kinds of things. It's a complete
waste of time. I understand the concern. I understand the
House Oversight Committee, and they're saying, hey, that seemed very
convenient that the demonstrators knew exactly where to go.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
The demonstrators seemed to.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Know where the ICE agents were going, and all the
demonstrators knew to show up on the exact same block. Maybe,
just maybe the mayor of Los Angeles is in cahoots
with the Governor's office and they are fighting against us.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Which would be maybe a violation of federal law. So
that's what the.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
House Oversight Committee is going after. But trust me, I
worked for three members of Congress from California, both in Washington,
d C. And here at home in California. These versie
committees are complete waste of time.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
First off, what are you trying to say. You're trying
to say that.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
There's a text somewhere like Gavin Newsom texts texted Mayor
Karen Bass and said, Hey, Karen, I just had my
people drop off a palette of rocks by the down
by the Bank of America building near the Saint Vincent
Jewelry mart. So you tell your people that's where the
(09:51):
palette of rocks are so that when we go to
throw rocks at CHP, they'll know exactly where to get
more rocks. Like that's what the the Oversight Committee is
trying to accomplish, and that's never gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
No such texts exist, no such emails exist, So.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I don't know why they're wasting their time and it
just becomes a side show. And you know it should
a rogue email from an intern on government email addresses
exist that said, yeah, Boss, we did send the guy
with the pickup truck full of face masks to where
(10:30):
you told us to send it, and I put it
on the campaign credit card.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Like if that email exists.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It will be long gone before June twenty seventh. So
it's just not the way these things work. And I
think that the conspiracy theories that there are organizations that
intentionally drop off palettes of bricks is a little bit
too far fetched. They're just not that organized. I mean,
(10:56):
there isn't that much organization. There is some organization, no
question about it. And these people that show up at
these demonstrations, they're organized, but they're not under the control
of Governor Gavin Neussom or Mayor Karen bass.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It just doesn't work like that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
These people are they're not professional protesters because they don't
get paid, but they are in their minds this is
their calling. Like I was watching an interview with one
of these protesters, and the guy took the day off
from work to go and protest Ice, and he believed
(11:33):
it was probably like in his mid twenties, he believed.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That that was far more important use of his time.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Better to get to take the day without pay and
fight the fascist authoritarian and the jack buddoo thugs with
immigration and customs enforcement, then actually go to work. That
was his thought, and I thought that sounds about right.
These are the same people. It doesn't matter what the
fight is. It can be the maniacs from the UCLA
(11:59):
that were going.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Free free Palace Tine the same crowd.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Like today they're mad at Ice, Yesterday they were mad
at Israel. Tomorrow they'll be mad at the big beautiful
Bill and they'll completely be constantly mad for the next
thirteen hundred and nine days.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Trump has been president for one hundred and fifty eight days.
One hundred and fifty eight days. We are only one
hundred and fifty eight days until this into this presidency.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
So this is going to go on for the next
thirteen hundred and nine days.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I'm wondering if they're going to be able to keep
up the momentum.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I heard there's going to be another cat Lady March
on the fourth of July.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's called No Kings two.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Point zero, So we'll see if that beats No Kings
one point zero. At least they're doing a No King's
March on the fourth of July, which would coincide with
No Kings. That will all make sense. It'll make the
parades look bigger, that's for sure. But I am I'm
(13:06):
not all that concerned with the Mayor of Los Angeles
and the Governor of California having some secret text between
each other that the House Oversight Committee is launching an
investigation in and don't forget half of the House Oversight
Committee in Washington are Democrats, I mean half less one.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That's the way that works.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So the committee is divided equally, except the Republicans, if
they're in power, get one more person on the Oversight Committee,
which means they control the Oversight Committee, which means the
chairman is a Republican, and all the information is given
to the staff of the Oversight Committee, and the Oversight
Committee's staff is lifers back there in Washington, DC. So
(13:51):
don't hold out a whole lot of hope. I know
it's talked about. It's a big story that the City
of Los Angeles now has to turn over anti ICE
protest related documents by But I don't suspect you'll find
anything in those documents. Just like when they raid a restaurant,
and this just happened in San Diego where I lived.
(14:11):
In San Diego, they ICE rated a restaurant in North
Park and they went into and everyone's.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Like, Oh my god, what's going on.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
These are just bus boys, these are just these are
hard working. These are not the criminally illegals you talk about.
These are the hard working illegals, the good ones. And
it turned out that of the staff of forty at
this Italian restaurant in North Park down in San.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Diego, nineteen nineteen, half of.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
The entire staff we're not just in the country illegally,
but at falsified federal documents for the purpose of fraud.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Which is what you're doing when you.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Use a counterfeit green card. And I remember after that
was learned immediately ICE wanted to find out they had
a search ward, so they wanted to get in there
and get all the.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Employee records, all the employment records.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
We got to check all of these, and there were
four locations of this Italian restaurant, and immediately they all
closed down, even the ones that were sixty miles away
from the restaurant that was busted by ICE a couple
of weeks ago. And of course you go to the
website and the Facebook page, and the Italian restaurant said,
this is a tragedy and we are shutting down to
(15:34):
give our staff time to heal. Right, that's what they
always say, the staff needs time to heal. And then
they reopened on Monday, and suspiciously, it turned.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Out that the pizzas taste curiously like incinerated counterfeit green cards.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Not sure how that exactly happened, but that's exactly what happened.
Lou Penrose, if a John Coblt on k I AM

Speaker 5 (16:06):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Loke Penrose sitting here for John Cobelt on the John
Cobelt Show. So we're getting into summer travel season, and
guess what. Everywhere else in the country, gas prices are
going down.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Here's Christine Romans from today's show this morning.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Gas prices that are best in four years.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And this is so important for.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
All of those millions of people who will be hitting
the roads starting on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's when this starts. July first, Tuesday through the.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Next Monday, that's the big travel period for people who
are driving.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, also July first. Here in California, the gas tax
kicks in. Yesterday, Assembly Member Carl Demayo was on with
John Cobelt to talk about the emergency session that he
has called with the governor to not just handle the
gas tax, but also the gas crisis because we don't
we don't refine gas here in California and they don't
(17:01):
pipe it in, so we're gonna run out and not
have enough. And now one of the state agencies is
they're calling bull They're saying that we're being dramatic and
it's not that big of an increase. Chason Campedonia joins us, Now,
what's the real they're saying that it's not sixty five cents,
it's more closer to like six cents.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, it's actually right around a dime per gallon of
regular gas. So that's from CARVE, that's the California Air
Resources Board, and.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
They basically have.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Have implemented what they're calling the Low Carb Fuel Standard
regulation update, which starts on the first, and that's only
by their estimates, only going to increase gas about five
to ten cents somewhere in that window. And that coupled
with the voter approved gas tax of almost two cents,
(17:57):
that'll make it roughly a dime per gallon of gas.
And the the lawmakers that are going out and saying, hey,
the gas is going to go up sixty five cents,
you know, on July first, that's not necessarily true according
to them. They're saying that's all the gas tax from
years of gas tax. It's a sixty five cent tax total,
(18:21):
including their low Carb Fuel Standard update.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
So is the Low Carb Fuel Standard update?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Is that the summer blend thing that I've been hearing
about all my life?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
No, this is something a little bit I know, right,
there's the summer blend winter ban.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Honestly, I've lived in California for twenty five years and
they always tell me, no, it's the summer blend lou
and I'm thinking, what are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Like yeah, And I find it fascinating that everything is
so convoluted. There's no yes or no straight up answer.
That's what's difficult about.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
All of this.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
So the Low carb Fuel Standard basically is going to
take some money, and they're not calling it a tax,
by the way, it's just the low carb Fuel Standard
that that is what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's not a tax.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Well, it's on top of the other of the petroleum
and and then by the way, the sales saxes is
applied to that increase, So I don't know if it's
out of tax, a tax bayer any other name.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Is more money for the price of the bump, right exactly.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
So what this money is expected to do, which I
thought was kind of interesting, and the and the way
they worded it was really funny. It's an increase. They
want to increase cleaner fuel options and transportation options for drivers.
So now they follow that up with that means more
EV chargers and things like that. But I think, you know,
(19:38):
if you know one plus one equals two, then it
looks like they're trying to go for more of the
greener electric buses or electric you know, mass transportation type
thing that's not official, but it's just kind of reading
reading what's on the wall there, and it's it really
shows that, you know, they they want to put money
towards greener energy, but at the same time, they won't
(20:01):
call it attacks and people are struggling as it.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Is right now.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
So how is it if they want to use the
money for greater options in public transit?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
How is it that it's a sliding skin like?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
How come it's not a set eight point nine percent
or something like that.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
So the reason they do it because it's incremental because
prices are going up everywhere. So they had a vote
several months ago on this issue and they said, Okay,
well it looks like it's going to cost us more
to try to get more green energy into California green
energy options anyway, so we're going to have to adjust
(20:38):
our prices in order to facilitate those needs. And somehow
someway and I'm not clear on exactly how this works,
they say, after years of the low carb fuel standards
and the increase at the pump, it's eventually going to
save California money.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm eventually gonna save us money. Yes, and I think
that's because.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Because I won't be able to afford to pugas in
my car and I gotta hop on a bus.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
This is this is the I didn't say, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Well look, bottom line is whether it's a tax or
a low carbon standard or your antille. Either way, the
price of the pump is going up July first in California.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That is correct.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Yeah, but right now about about a dime per gallon
of gas of regular.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Jason Campedonia, thanks so much. Good to talk with you.
I appreciate it all right when we come back.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
So here is a deportation story I think we can
all agree on. An Egyptian man has been deported for
kicking a dog. The dog actually is a working dog.
He worked and still works for custom and Border protection.
He's at the airport the drug you know, the the
(21:56):
drug sniffing dogs that work at the airport. An Egyptian
man got an and kick the dog so hard that
he hurt the dog and now is back in Egypt.
Because we don't need any Egyptian kicking dogs in our country.

You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

Speaker 3 (22:20):
Lou Penrose sitting in for John Cobelt on the John
coblt Show.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Good to be with you, Thanks so much for tuning in.
And as you heard.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Tim Conway follows the program weeknights at four. Michael Krozer
with the News at four o'clock. All right, here's one
that we can all get behind. I certainly hope, so,
I certainly hope that we can all agree on this one,
on this deportation. Whether you love what the President of
the United States is doing or you hate what the
(22:48):
President of the United States is doing, whether you're rooting
for ice agents or rooting for the illegals, whether you
believe that this is America or you believe this is
actually Mexico and the border crossed you, you didn't cross
the border.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Whatever camp you're in, you gotta be with me on
this one.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
An Egyptian man has been deported by the Department of
Homeland Security after he kicked a dog. The Egyptian man
kicked a dog that was working for Customs and Border
Protection at Dallas Airport in DC.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Freddie is a working.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Beagle for CP CBP, that's Customs and Border Protection.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
They used beagles.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Interestingly enough, they used to always use like German shepherds,
but beagles are I guess, really really good for all
the new drugs out there. And also with respect to agriculture,
big agriculture smelling dogs. And this Egyptian guy didn't like
Freddy sniffing around his luggage and he kicked him because
(24:01):
Freddy had detected some prohibited agriculture in the Egyptian guy's luggage.
And Freddie was kicked so hard that he was lifted
up off the ground and suffered contusions to his rib area.
According to Customs and Border Protection, unbelievable. Kicks the dog
(24:21):
in front of the customs agent right there in the
middle of the airport, lifts the dog up off the
ground and bruises the dog's ribs. So a seven year
old Hammad Ali Marie pled guilty in US District Court
in Virginia to harming animals used in law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, can't do that.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I saw somebody on social media punch a horse that
a police officer was mounted on, and boy, that was
a real bad move. Can't be punching the horse, can't
be kicking the do so, you cannot harm an animal
that it's used in law enforcement. In fact, that dog
(25:06):
is a deputized officer of the law.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
When police dogs are killed in the line of duty,
there's honors. So this isn't a police dog.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
This is a agriculture sniffing prohibited agriculture sniffing dog at
the airport.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
But nevertheless, he's working. He's working.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
He's working for me, you and he's working for me.
He's one of the good guys. Egyptian guy not so
much so. According to the District Court in Virginia, harming
animals used in law enforcement no bueno. He was ordered
to pay the dog's veterinary fee and then he was
handed over to the Department of Homeland Security where he
(25:48):
was removed from the United States, and yesterday he was
placed on a flight to Egypt.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So he's gone.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
No more Egyptian dog kicking idiots in the United States.
And I have to imagine even the most anti Trump,
anti Ice like maniac out there has got to be
on our side with respect to anybody that would kick
Freddy the drug sniffing dog at the Dullas Airport. Because
(26:19):
that's really the question I always have what's too far.
I hear people at these anti deportation rallies in downtown
and they're screaming and shouting because they don't want this
particular person deported or that particular person deported. They don't
the guy in Pico Rivera, they didn't want that guy
deported because he was just with the weed whacker.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
And who was the girl in Ladera Heights. She was
just selling food.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
She was a taco saleswoman in the parking lot of
the home depot. She was hugging the tree. Remember the
tree hugging girl, a twenty five year old. She had
her hands around the tree. That was her strategy to
not be deported, to hold onto the tree.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That didn't last long. And like this, all you.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Have to do is put on KTLA and you'll just
see for the next I suspect sixty days just crying
people holding onto trees or telling you how.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Sad it is and they shouldn't be deported.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Everyone's saying okay, because they're just the hard working types.
So the question always comes to mind, what does somebody
have to do for illegal alien activists to agree that
they should be deported? Because I see no evidence that
you want anybody deported. Like when I see you chanting
(27:37):
and marching and banging bongo drums at any gathering, it
sounds like you don't want anybody deported.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You want Trump to resign, and you want to keep
all the illegals in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
And that's fine, but there has to be something that
somebody in the country illegally can do that you would
be in support of the ice van coming and picking
that person up and throwing him in the back of
the ice van.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's got to be something.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
And certainly kicking the dog at the airport, we have
to be getting close, have to be getting close on
this one.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I certainly do hope so, but.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
That one's gone and he's not coming back anytime soon.
And by the way, I'm surprised he wasn't placed into
custody and put in jail here in the United States.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But I guess they decided.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
The best thing to do to him is make him
pay for the vet bill and then send him back
to Egypt. And he's not coming back, so the dogs
there at the airport are safe.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So there you have it.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
So as we go into the weekend, I don't know,
there's no on the radar any big demonstrations. I know
the July fourth demonstration is still on, so we will
see the No King March two point zero.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
We'll see where that goes.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Now that we have National Guard, I feel like our
federal buildings and our federal officers will be in better shape.
I want to get to a point where we can
get back to enjoying our summer.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
In Los Angeles. The rest of the.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Country is sweltering. I was talking to a friend of
mine in New York.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They're dying.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
It's just humid and sticky and horrible, and we don't
have that. So keep in mind that the rest of
the world loves summer in southern California and in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
So we're here, so we get to live it.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
And I just don't want the continuation of the summer
of tear gas.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That's no boyo.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It's bad enough that you have two cities already canceling
the firework show, and you have another city.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I guess Huntington Park is considering it as well.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Conway will get into all the good and the bad
and the ugly and what's going on coming up after
the news.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
But regardless of the fourth of July. It's still summertime.
We still have the beaches, we.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Still have the kids home from school, and I just
want to have a fun summer. We finally got out
of COVID for crying out loud, finally out of my
COVID post traumatic stress disorder. I finally where I was
able to actually get rid of those stupid face masks.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
For whatever reason, I got rid of most of them.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I kept one, like one of the good ones that
my wife bought at Costco. Like I kept one just
I don't know why. I just thought, I don't you
never know, who knows what's gonna happen. As much as
I hate it, I'm gonna keep it. And I finally
was able to bring myself to throw it away. And
I finally feel like the world is back to normal
and we can just enjoy Los Angeles in southern California,
(30:33):
and it's summertime and it's gonna be great. And the
Fourth of July is coming, so I would like to
have my Fourth of July celebration without the tear gas.
So that's my hope for you. But go out and
have a fantastic weekend. Stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Tim Conway Junior is next.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Michael Krozer will have the news on KFI AM six
forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Lou Penrose if
a John Cobble on KFI and I like to say
thanks on behalf of the group and myself and I
hope we pass the audition.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
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 on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't find AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Blue Penrose sitting in for John Cobelt this afternoon. Thank
you for tuning in. Good to have you along with us.
So kuta Hey becomes the second city in Los Angeles
to cancel Independence Day.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
They announced on.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Social media that they were postponing the fourth of July
celebration was originally scheduled for July the third. The event
was set to take place at the Cutaey Park starting
at three, going all the way to nine with the
big fireworks show. So a full day, a whole day music,
food trucks, ending with the fireworks show at nine. And
(00:38):
they decided to cancel it. We'll see if more cities
decide to cancel. They joined Bell Gardens now, so two
cities no fun. The update from the CUDAE Vice Mayor
Cynthia Gonzalez.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
You remember this chick.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
She is the one that took a selfie video calling
upon gang members.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
To pick a fight with the ice agents.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Effectively, she went on social media and it was it
was like she didn't look. She filmed herself and then
posted it and said where are you guys. Where are
you guys? You're always in turf wars with other gangs. Well,
the biggest gang out there is invading your turf. You
better get in the game. And she was met with
some significant pushback from supporters of law enforcement that said, hey,
(01:30):
that's nobueno.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
What are you doing.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
So finally she's now broken her silence, and Cynthia Gomez,
the vice mayor of Kudage, has.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Released a statement, here's our buddy.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
He look.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Alec Michaelson has the story.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzalez is pushing back against claims that
she was trying to encourage street gangs to.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Confront ICE agents. In a recently deleted.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
TikTok video, the vice mayor says she quote wants to
know where all the cholos are at in LA and
asking whoever the leadership is to get their orders. Alas
then posted that she needed a lawyer and that the
FBI came to her house.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Now she's saying through her attorneys that it was absolutely peaceful.
Does that sound peaceful to you? It is free speech,
I'll say that. You know, sometimes free speech will land
you in jail. But she's saying no, no, no, no, no,
that was just an expression.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
It's unbelievable to me.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But it does fall under the category of the lou
Penrose rule. These people are not too liberal, they're not
too progressive. We don't have a liberal or progressive problem.
I hear all this, all this all the time on
talk radio. That, oh, progressive leadership, that's the problem. Now,
this has nothing to do with political philosophy. We have
(02:47):
a maturity problem in Los Angeles. These are very immature people,
very immature people. This is a very childish thing to do.
And this woman is she has a PhD for crying
out loud, but I don't care if she dropped out
of high school. She is certainly mature age wise, but
(03:12):
she's not mature up in the head. Like in the head,
she's still a child because this is childlike. This is
not some game, Madam Vice Mayor. I don't know what
you think you're doing. This is not some game. You
can root for the illegals if you want, and you
can be mean to law and order if you want,
(03:32):
if you want to take sides with the illegals over
the Ice agents, who are the good guys. They're on
our side. The warrants have been signed by judges. You
can yell and scream and jump up, up and down
all you want, but you're not on the side of
good guys. You're on the side of the law breakers.
(03:54):
You can do that if you want to be a
social social justice warrior advocating for illegal you can do
that all day, every day, and maybe you have enough
fans to elevate you.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
But what you can't do is.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Root for the gang members to fight with law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That crosses a line.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
And I don't know how you can sleep with I
don't know how you sleep and how you can get
away with arguing that you were not doing that.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
At least issue an apology, at least do that thing
that lawmakers always do, politicians always do.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I misspoke, it came out and artfully I was misunderstood,
like do something. I was drunk at the time. I'm
seeking counseling. I'm going to Betty Ford, whatever you want
to do.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I see politicians do this all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
After they send out a tweet that was clearly over
the line, come up with some kind of an excuse,
but certainly apologize. I'm not going to accept your apology,
but nevertheless, at least you could say, look, I apologize, lou.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
If you don't want to accept my apology, and then
that's on you.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Like do something, but don't try and say that you
didn't mean what you said. That was clearly unsafe for
law enforcement. That was clearly unsafe for ice agents. You know,
gang members are not safe people, and why you think
that they're part of your community is pretty curious to me.
I kind of look at city government to spray paint
(05:28):
over the tagging and clean up the city and hire
police to get rid of the gang members.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's kind of what I want my city to do, right.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
You want your city to look more like the good
part of town and less like the bad part of town.
And that's not accomplished by embracing criminal element in your
town and calling upon them to fight federal agents.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
But you do you, you do whatever you want.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Yeah, So the vice mayor, Synthi Gonzalez, she said, look,
this is all free.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Speech, and certainly I'm being taken out of context.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Well.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
Gonzalez's attorney has released a statement saying that her message
was peaceful. He says, in part quote, doctor Cynthia Gonzalez
called upon her local community to exercise their First Amendment
rights to free speech and assembly to express their views
on recent ICE enforcement actions. Her message was entirely peaceful
and aimed at encouraging civic engagement through lawful and constructive means.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
As a Box eleven's like Michaelson, I love it.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
All of a sudden, now she becomes your eighth grade
social studies teacher. I'm just calling upon these gang members
to engage in civil discourse. I'm engaged. I'm trying to
get them to step up and peacefully demonstrate. I just
want the gang members to go down to the dollar
Tree and get themselves a white board and make themselves
(06:51):
a sign that says Ice, You're not welcome. I just
want them to stand peacefully on the sidewalk with a
white oak tag that says Ice go home.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I don't want want them to do anything further than that.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
And for in no way, shape or form did I
suggest they do anything other than get themselves some dry
mark boards and stand and exercise their First Amendment run.
What a load of crap. Oh my goodness, lou Penrose.
Info John Coblt on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Loup Penrose Info John Coblt on KFI AM six forty
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So, the City of.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Los Angeles and the Office of the Governor, for the
most part, I guess have been They've been notified by
the US House Oversight Committee.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
The City of Los Angeles now has until Friday.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
It's Friday to turn over any communication records related to
the anti Porto anti deportation protests. Is that what they
call calling it now the anti anti deportation protests. The
Congression Committee launched an investigation to Governor Gavin Newsom and
Mayor Aaron Bass this morning, and they have exactly a week.
The committee requested that Newsom and Bass handover all documents
(08:14):
and communications related to the demonstrations among their two offices,
state law enforcement, local law enforcement, and federal entities by
June twenty seventh. Bass and Newsom were also asked to
provide all records of communication, including video dispatch logs, and
anything else that is on their phone. So, look, this
(08:35):
is a bit of a show. It really bothers me
when Congress does these kinds of things. It's a complete
waste of time. I understand the concern. I understand the
House Oversight Committee, and they're saying, hey, that seemed very
convenient that the demonstrators knew exactly where to go.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
The demonstrators seemed to.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
Know where the ICE agents were going, and all the
demonstrators knew to show up on the exact same block. Maybe,
just maybe the mayor of Los Angeles is in cahoots
with the Governor's office and they are fighting against us.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Which would be maybe a violation of federal law. So
that's what the.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
House Oversight Committee is going after. But trust me, I
worked for three members of Congress from California, both in Washington,
d C. And here at home in California. These versie
committees are complete waste of time.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
First off, what are you trying to say. You're trying
to say that.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
There's a text somewhere like Gavin Newsom texts texted Mayor
Karen Bass and said, Hey, Karen, I just had my
people drop off a palette of rocks by the down
by the Bank of America building near the Saint Vincent
Jewelry mart. So you tell your people that's where the
(09:51):
palette of rocks are so that when we go to
throw rocks at CHP, they'll know exactly where to get
more rocks. Like that's what the the Oversight Committee is
trying to accomplish, and that's never gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
No such texts exist, no such emails exist, So.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
I don't know why they're wasting their time and it
just becomes a side show. And you know it should
a rogue email from an intern on government email addresses
exist that said, yeah, Boss, we did send the guy
with the pickup truck full of face masks to where
(10:30):
you told us to send it, and I put it
on the campaign credit card.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Like if that email exists.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
It will be long gone before June twenty seventh. So
it's just not the way these things work. And I
think that the conspiracy theories that there are organizations that
intentionally drop off palettes of bricks is a little bit
too far fetched. They're just not that organized. I mean,
(10:56):
there isn't that much organization. There is some organization, no
question about it. And these people that show up at
these demonstrations, they're organized, but they're not under the control
of Governor Gavin Neussom or Mayor Karen bass.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
It just doesn't work like that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
These people are they're not professional protesters because they don't
get paid, but they are in their minds this is
their calling. Like I was watching an interview with one
of these protesters, and the guy took the day off
from work to go and protest Ice, and he believed
(11:33):
it was probably like in his mid twenties, he believed.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
That that was far more important use of his time.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Better to get to take the day without pay and
fight the fascist authoritarian and the jack buddoo thugs with
immigration and customs enforcement, then actually go to work. That
was his thought, and I thought that sounds about right.
These are the same people. It doesn't matter what the
fight is. It can be the maniacs from the UCLA
(11:59):
that were going.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Free free Palace Tine the same crowd.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Like today they're mad at Ice, Yesterday they were mad
at Israel. Tomorrow they'll be mad at the big beautiful
Bill and they'll completely be constantly mad for the next
thirteen hundred and nine days.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Trump has been president for one hundred and fifty eight days.
One hundred and fifty eight days. We are only one
hundred and fifty eight days until this into this presidency.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
So this is going to go on for the next
thirteen hundred and nine days.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
I'm wondering if they're going to be able to keep
up the momentum.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I heard there's going to be another cat Lady March
on the fourth of July.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's called No Kings two.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Point zero, So we'll see if that beats No Kings
one point zero. At least they're doing a No King's
March on the fourth of July, which would coincide with
No Kings. That will all make sense. It'll make the
parades look bigger, that's for sure. But I am I'm
(13:06):
not all that concerned with the Mayor of Los Angeles
and the Governor of California having some secret text between
each other that the House Oversight Committee is launching an
investigation in and don't forget half of the House Oversight
Committee in Washington are Democrats, I mean half less one.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
That's the way that works.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
So the committee is divided equally, except the Republicans, if
they're in power, get one more person on the Oversight Committee,
which means they control the Oversight Committee, which means the
chairman is a Republican, and all the information is given
to the staff of the Oversight Committee, and the Oversight
Committee's staff is lifers back there in Washington, DC. So
(13:51):
don't hold out a whole lot of hope. I know
it's talked about. It's a big story that the City
of Los Angeles now has to turn over anti ICE
protest related documents by But I don't suspect you'll find
anything in those documents. Just like when they raid a restaurant,
and this just happened in San Diego where I lived.
(14:11):
In San Diego, they ICE rated a restaurant in North
Park and they went into and everyone's.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Like, Oh my god, what's going on.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
These are just bus boys, these are just these are
hard working. These are not the criminally illegals you talk about.
These are the hard working illegals, the good ones. And
it turned out that of the staff of forty at
this Italian restaurant in North Park down in San.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Diego, nineteen nineteen, half of.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
The entire staff we're not just in the country illegally,
but at falsified federal documents for the purpose of fraud.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Which is what you're doing when you.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Use a counterfeit green card. And I remember after that
was learned immediately ICE wanted to find out they had
a search ward, so they wanted to get in there
and get all the.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Employee records, all the employment records.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
We got to check all of these, and there were
four locations of this Italian restaurant, and immediately they all
closed down, even the ones that were sixty miles away
from the restaurant that was busted by ICE a couple
of weeks ago. And of course you go to the
website and the Facebook page, and the Italian restaurant said,
this is a tragedy and we are shutting down to
(15:34):
give our staff time to heal. Right, that's what they
always say, the staff needs time to heal. And then
they reopened on Monday, and suspiciously, it turned.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Out that the pizzas taste curiously like incinerated counterfeit green cards.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Not sure how that exactly happened, but that's exactly what happened.
Lou Penrose, if a John Coblt on k I AM
six forty.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
Loke Penrose sitting here for John Cobelt on the John
Cobelt Show. So we're getting into summer travel season, and
guess what. Everywhere else in the country, gas prices are
going down.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Here's Christine Romans from today's show this morning.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
Gas prices that are best in four years.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And this is so important for.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
All of those millions of people who will be hitting
the roads starting on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
That's when this starts. July first, Tuesday through the.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
Next Monday, that's the big travel period for people who
are driving.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Yeah, also July first. Here in California, the gas tax
kicks in. Yesterday, Assembly Member Carl Demayo was on with
John Cobelt to talk about the emergency session that he
has called with the governor to not just handle the
gas tax, but also the gas crisis because we don't
we don't refine gas here in California and they don't
(17:01):
pipe it in, so we're gonna run out and not
have enough. And now one of the state agencies is
they're calling bull They're saying that we're being dramatic and
it's not that big of an increase. Chason Campedonia joins us, Now,
what's the real they're saying that it's not sixty five cents,
it's more closer to like six cents.
Speaker 6 (17:22):
Yeah, it's actually right around a dime per gallon of
regular gas. So that's from CARVE, that's the California Air
Resources Board, and.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
They basically have.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
Have implemented what they're calling the Low Carb Fuel Standard
regulation update, which starts on the first, and that's only
by their estimates, only going to increase gas about five
to ten cents somewhere in that window. And that coupled
with the voter approved gas tax of almost two cents,
(17:57):
that'll make it roughly a dime per gallon of gas.
And the the lawmakers that are going out and saying, hey,
the gas is going to go up sixty five cents,
you know, on July first, that's not necessarily true according
to them. They're saying that's all the gas tax from
years of gas tax. It's a sixty five cent tax total,
(18:21):
including their low Carb Fuel Standard update.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
So is the Low Carb Fuel Standard update?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Is that the summer blend thing that I've been hearing
about all my life?
Speaker 6 (18:32):
No, this is something a little bit I know, right,
there's the summer blend winter ban.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Honestly, I've lived in California for twenty five years and
they always tell me, no, it's the summer blend lou
and I'm thinking, what are you talking about?
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Like yeah, And I find it fascinating that everything is
so convoluted. There's no yes or no straight up answer.
That's what's difficult about.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
All of this.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
So the Low carb Fuel Standard basically is going to
take some money, and they're not calling it a tax,
by the way, it's just the low carb Fuel Standard
that that is what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
It's not a tax.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Well, it's on top of the other of the petroleum
and and then by the way, the sales saxes is
applied to that increase, So I don't know if it's
out of tax, a tax bayer any other name.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Is more money for the price of the bump, right exactly.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
So what this money is expected to do, which I
thought was kind of interesting, and the and the way
they worded it was really funny. It's an increase. They
want to increase cleaner fuel options and transportation options for drivers.
So now they follow that up with that means more
EV chargers and things like that. But I think, you know,
(19:38):
if you know one plus one equals two, then it
looks like they're trying to go for more of the
greener electric buses or electric you know, mass transportation type
thing that's not official, but it's just kind of reading
reading what's on the wall there, and it's it really
shows that, you know, they they want to put money
towards greener energy, but at the same time, they won't
(20:01):
call it attacks and people are struggling as it.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Is right now.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
So how is it if they want to use the
money for greater options in public transit?
Speaker 1 (20:11):
How is it that it's a sliding skin like?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
How come it's not a set eight point nine percent
or something like that.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
So the reason they do it because it's incremental because
prices are going up everywhere. So they had a vote
several months ago on this issue and they said, Okay,
well it looks like it's going to cost us more
to try to get more green energy into California green
energy options anyway, so we're going to have to adjust
(20:38):
our prices in order to facilitate those needs. And somehow
someway and I'm not clear on exactly how this works,
they say, after years of the low carb fuel standards
and the increase at the pump, it's eventually going to
save California money.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I'm eventually gonna save us money. Yes, and I think
that's because.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Because I won't be able to afford to pugas in
my car and I gotta hop on a bus.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
This is this is the I didn't say, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Well look, bottom line is whether it's a tax or
a low carbon standard or your antille. Either way, the
price of the pump is going up July first in California.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That is correct.
Speaker 6 (21:24):
Yeah, but right now about about a dime per gallon
of gas of regular.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Jason Campedonia, thanks so much. Good to talk with you.
I appreciate it all right when we come back.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
So here is a deportation story I think we can
all agree on. An Egyptian man has been deported for
kicking a dog. The dog actually is a working dog.
He worked and still works for custom and Border protection.
He's at the airport the drug you know, the the
(21:56):
drug sniffing dogs that work at the airport. An Egyptian
man got an and kick the dog so hard that
he hurt the dog and now is back in Egypt.
Because we don't need any Egyptian kicking dogs in our country.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Good to be with you, Thanks so much for tuning in.
And as you heard.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Tim Conway follows the program weeknights at four. Michael Krozer
with the News at four o'clock. All right, here's one
that we can all get behind. I certainly hope, so,
I certainly hope that we can all agree on this one,
on this deportation. Whether you love what the President of
the United States is doing or you hate what the
(22:48):
President of the United States is doing, whether you're rooting
for ice agents or rooting for the illegals, whether you
believe that this is America or you believe this is
actually Mexico and the border crossed you, you didn't cross
the border.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Whatever camp you're in, you gotta be with me on
this one.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
An Egyptian man has been deported by the Department of
Homeland Security after he kicked a dog. The Egyptian man
kicked a dog that was working for Customs and Border
Protection at Dallas Airport in DC.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Freddie is a working.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Beagle for CP CBP, that's Customs and Border Protection.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
They used beagles.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Interestingly enough, they used to always use like German shepherds,
but beagles are I guess, really really good for all
the new drugs out there. And also with respect to agriculture,
big agriculture smelling dogs. And this Egyptian guy didn't like
Freddy sniffing around his luggage and he kicked him because
(24:01):
Freddy had detected some prohibited agriculture in the Egyptian guy's luggage.
And Freddie was kicked so hard that he was lifted
up off the ground and suffered contusions to his rib area.
According to Customs and Border Protection, unbelievable. Kicks the dog
(24:21):
in front of the customs agent right there in the
middle of the airport, lifts the dog up off the
ground and bruises the dog's ribs. So a seven year
old Hammad Ali Marie pled guilty in US District Court
in Virginia to harming animals used in law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Yeah, can't do that.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I saw somebody on social media punch a horse that
a police officer was mounted on, and boy, that was
a real bad move. Can't be punching the horse, can't
be kicking the do so, you cannot harm an animal
that it's used in law enforcement. In fact, that dog
(25:06):
is a deputized officer of the law.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
When police dogs are killed in the line of duty,
there's honors. So this isn't a police dog.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
This is a agriculture sniffing prohibited agriculture sniffing dog at
the airport.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
But nevertheless, he's working. He's working.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
He's working for me, you and he's working for me.
He's one of the good guys. Egyptian guy not so
much so. According to the District Court in Virginia, harming
animals used in law enforcement no bueno. He was ordered
to pay the dog's veterinary fee and then he was
handed over to the Department of Homeland Security where he
(25:48):
was removed from the United States, and yesterday he was
placed on a flight to Egypt.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
So he's gone.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
No more Egyptian dog kicking idiots in the United States.
And I have to imagine even the most anti Trump,
anti Ice like maniac out there has got to be
on our side with respect to anybody that would kick
Freddy the drug sniffing dog at the Dullas Airport. Because
(26:19):
that's really the question I always have what's too far.
I hear people at these anti deportation rallies in downtown
and they're screaming and shouting because they don't want this
particular person deported or that particular person deported. They don't
the guy in Pico Rivera, they didn't want that guy
deported because he was just with the weed whacker.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
And who was the girl in Ladera Heights. She was
just selling food.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
She was a taco saleswoman in the parking lot of
the home depot. She was hugging the tree. Remember the
tree hugging girl, a twenty five year old. She had
her hands around the tree. That was her strategy to
not be deported, to hold onto the tree.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
That didn't last long. And like this, all you.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Have to do is put on KTLA and you'll just
see for the next I suspect sixty days just crying
people holding onto trees or telling you how.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Sad it is and they shouldn't be deported.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Everyone's saying okay, because they're just the hard working types.
So the question always comes to mind, what does somebody
have to do for illegal alien activists to agree that
they should be deported? Because I see no evidence that
you want anybody deported. Like when I see you chanting
(27:37):
and marching and banging bongo drums at any gathering, it
sounds like you don't want anybody deported.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You want Trump to resign, and you want to keep
all the illegals in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
And that's fine, but there has to be something that
somebody in the country illegally can do that you would
be in support of the ice van coming and picking
that person up and throwing him in the back of
the ice van.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's got to be something.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
And certainly kicking the dog at the airport, we have
to be getting close, have to be getting close on
this one.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
I certainly do hope so, but.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
That one's gone and he's not coming back anytime soon.
And by the way, I'm surprised he wasn't placed into
custody and put in jail here in the United States.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
But I guess they decided.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
The best thing to do to him is make him
pay for the vet bill and then send him back
to Egypt. And he's not coming back, so the dogs
there at the airport are safe.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So there you have it.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
So as we go into the weekend, I don't know,
there's no on the radar any big demonstrations. I know
the July fourth demonstration is still on, so we will
see the No King March two point zero.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
We'll see where that goes.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Now that we have National Guard, I feel like our
federal buildings and our federal officers will be in better shape.
I want to get to a point where we can
get back to enjoying our summer.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
In Los Angeles. The rest of the.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Country is sweltering. I was talking to a friend of
mine in New York.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
They're dying.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
It's just humid and sticky and horrible, and we don't
have that. So keep in mind that the rest of
the world loves summer in southern California and in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
So we're here, so we get to live it.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
And I just don't want the continuation of the summer
of tear gas.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
That's no boyo.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
It's bad enough that you have two cities already canceling
the firework show, and you have another city.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I guess Huntington Park is considering it as well.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Conway will get into all the good and the bad
and the ugly and what's going on coming up after
the news.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
But regardless of the fourth of July. It's still summertime.
We still have the beaches, we.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Still have the kids home from school, and I just
want to have a fun summer. We finally got out
of COVID for crying out loud, finally out of my
COVID post traumatic stress disorder. I finally where I was
able to actually get rid of those stupid face masks.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
For whatever reason, I got rid of most of them.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
I kept one, like one of the good ones that
my wife bought at Costco. Like I kept one just
I don't know why. I just thought, I don't you
never know, who knows what's gonna happen. As much as
I hate it, I'm gonna keep it. And I finally
was able to bring myself to throw it away. And
I finally feel like the world is back to normal
and we can just enjoy Los Angeles in southern California,
(30:33):
and it's summertime and it's gonna be great. And the
Fourth of July is coming, so I would like to
have my Fourth of July celebration without the tear gas.
So that's my hope for you. But go out and
have a fantastic weekend. Stay tuned.
