Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app already on the you can listen to
the podcast after four o'clock and in the one o'clock hour,
Michael Monks explain this new report on the horrible response
(00:26):
by the county in Los Angeles County, all of government,
the entire Los Angeles County government, terrible response to the fires.
We knew that this report explains some of how bad
it is, but doesn't tell you why, It doesn't tell
you who. But you could hear Michael's report, it was
(00:47):
very good. In the one o'clock hour on the podcast.
All right, let's go to Alex Stone. The other big
thing today is there was quite a press conference late
this morning about the suspect who shot up the Dallas
Ice Detention Center, Joshua John or jen is his name,
(01:08):
and he killed one immigrant, injured two others. It was
just indiscriminate shooting with his rifle from a rooftop nearby
and then killed himself and to fill in more details,
Alex Stone, ABC News Tylor John.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, so a lot we learned today.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Investigators believed that the shooter acted alone, that there was
nobody with them, that he wasn't coordinating it with anybody.
This twenty nine year old guy that they say they
can see on surveillance video that he arrived at around
three in the morning with a ladder on his car,
used that to go up to his perch on the
staircase on the neighboring building or right across the street,
(01:45):
knowing that that ICE vehicles would be arriving at around
six thirty in the morning with the tainees from the
early morning operations that they go out on and then
they all come back at the same time to begin
processing them at the building. And as they pulled in,
it was a caravan of their vans, of the ICE
vans coming in with the detainees in them. He opened fire,
(02:06):
they think, believing that he was firing at agents and
didn't mean to hit the detainees. That he thought he
was hitting agents. But the acting US Attorney, Nancy Larson,
laid out these handwritten notes that they have found in
his apartment, and she says that they said a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They said this one.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Of these notes or papers, the sniper explicitly states, yes,
it was just me. That statement appears to be correct
at this point in the investigation. Notably, these loose notes
included a game plan of the attack and target areas
at the facility. He called the ICE employees people showing
(02:45):
up to collect a dirty paycheck. He wrote that he
intended to maximize lethality against ICE personnel.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And they say his notes made it clear he wanted
to inflict real terror on the ICE agents and ICE
agents in general, so to be watching their back so
when they're out in the streets and doing do stress
on their lives, and to make them worried when they're
out doing these operations. He expressed hatred for the federal
government in his notes. But they say, John, it does
not appear he ad any connection to a bigger group
of ideology that they see it as domestic terrorism, but
(03:15):
it's not terrorism in the sense of that there was
some bigger guiding force in this. But they say he
did research on the building and movements on the ICE agents,
even using tracking apps that are apparently out there for
the in the open that people mark where they see
ICE agents, and you can track where they're moving around.
The FBI special Agent and charge Jill Rothrocks, and he.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Knew with a high likelihood ICE detainees would be transported
that morning in the exact location where he was facing
from his perch on a nearby rooftop.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And they say the gun was a bolt action rifle
that he bought legally back in August. And they also
say John that ICE and ATF agents were heroes yesterday
and all of this and the injured and dead detainees,
they were shackled in the van and they could not
get out on their own as you would expect somebody
who's being detained or have been arrested. That they were
in handcuffs and in some cases shackles and locked into
(04:08):
that van.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And the agents say say went into the.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Line of fire to rescue those detainees who were stuck
in the van and couldn't get away from the gunfire.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Agents from both ICE and the ATF put themselves in
the line of fire to move individuals off the transportation
vehicles in an attempt to protect and rescue those that
were injured. I want to thank them for their bravery.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So the casualty count remains that one detainee was killed,
two other detainees critically injured. But they say it is
clear to them that the target was the agents, and
that they're still collecting evidence, but they don't know how
many shots were fired. They believe that he had been
planning this attack for many months, but that he thought
he was hitting or tried to hit agents and not detainees,
and he got it very wrong and hit only detainees
(04:50):
and no agents. All right, thank you very much, Alex,
you got it, Thanks John. All Right, good report. Here
the part about agents. They actually walked into the line
of fire to rescue the immigrants who were shot inside
the vehicle, but they couldn't get out because they were shackled.
(05:12):
So while the firing was going on, the agents went
in there to rescue these guys. One died but two survived.
And now you compare this to the way our sociopathic
narcissist governor Gavin Newsom, what he was saying on Stephen
(05:33):
Colder the other night. Let's play that clip about the
standing army.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
The ice issue is alarming beyond words. It is the private,
the largest private domestic army of its type police force
anywhere in the world. He'll have thirty thousand people that
increasingly appeared to be swore in an oath of office
to him, not the constitution of the United States again,
wake up to what's going on in this country?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
All right, Well, Joshua John woke up next morning, woke
up and brought his rifle and wanted to shoot some
of those ICE agents dead. Maybe he watched Colbert the
night before and that he'd been fighting this for weeks,
modeling and after the Charlie Kirk killing, right down to
the inscribed bullets, just like the inscribed bullets that Luigi
(06:18):
Manngion had to kill that healthcare executive. And then you
had Tyler Robinson with inscribed bullets to kill Charlie Kirk.
Now you've got this character, Joshua jan with inscribed bullets
to kill ICE agents, set anti ICE right there, right
there on the bullet, and Newsom is calling it the
largest private police force, standing army, sparring an oath to Trump.
(06:45):
That's false news was lying. None of them swore an
oath to Trump. You could see though, how that would
stir up a crazy person. I mean, this kid was
stirred up by the Charlie Kirk killing, guarded copying some
of the aspects of the Charlie Kirk killing. And then
here's Newsome, the leading Democratic presidential candidate, saying, yeah, they're
(07:12):
not defending America. Here, they're not working for America. This
is a private army by Trump. Well, it sounds like
a call to arms to me. And again what Newsom
said about the masks, play cut number six.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Again, I'll be signing a bill first in the nation.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Saying enough, Ice unmasked, what are you afraid of?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Tough boy? Huh? How big is it? Newsome? Security? For us?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's easy for him to stand there and say, hey, guys,
what are you afraid of? Well, a bullet in the
head maybe could have been a bullet in the heads
of several ICE agents, say yesterday morning instead the immigrants
got it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But good job, Gavin, good job.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's what you want in a leader, somebody stirring up
insane people to randomly shoot rifles at law enforcement agents.
And by the way, on his stupid mask idea idea,
if you can call it that, I heard it an illegal analysis.
Today it's impossible for local or state law enforcement to
(08:22):
arrest a federal officer on constitutional practically, it's impossible because
the ICE officers would arrest the state or local cop
for obstruction of a federal law enforcement agent, and the
(08:43):
state or local cop would go to federal prison. That's
what would happen. So if you think there are going
to be any cops enforcing Gavin Newsom's stupid mask rule, well,
if they try, they're going to go to federal prison.
It will not succeed, not once. Not one ICE agent's
going to remove it as mask in California, and not
(09:04):
one local or state officer is going to try to
arrest them unless they want to go to federal prison.
That's how stupid your governor is. But hey, keep voting
the way you're voting.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand
on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So I was scrolling through X.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And I found this you have that Kenneth mahaclip I
would play it in just a.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Second, not yet.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And we talked earlier about if you were listening at
this time yesterday we had the Santa Monica mayor here
Letna ne Grete on for the whole hour, and she
was talking about, you know, all the terrible things going
on in Santa Monica, which she agreed with. She says
the city council is stacked against her six to one.
(10:05):
They're all progressives and they just promote laws and policies
that attract more homelessness. She blamed a lot on the
stupid Expo train or the E line that brings in
trainloads of homeless vagrants, mental patients, and drug addicts every night.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Really, you don't want to be on the platform when
the last E train comes in in Santa Monica because
they get dumped into Santa Monica. And Santa Monica has
a preponderance of homeless shelters and treatment centers, and Venice
does too, so that's one of the reasons. It's a
(10:47):
magnet for all the crazy people. And that's why we
can't go there anymore. I can't go to the beach,
can't go to the park, can't go to the promenade,
can't go to the shopping mall, can't go to the restaurants,
can't go cank go because they have a new influx
all the time, and it's really aggravating because they spent
billions of dollars on a transit system that exists mostly
(11:10):
to bring mental patients and drug addicts from skid Row
to Santa Monica. And then if you live on the
West Side, you have to deal with the stuff that
originated in skid Row. And then you hear about Inside
Safe and Karen Bass's programs, which are largely fictitious. I
(11:33):
want to play you a clip from Kenneth Mahea. He
posted this online. He's wanted to do an audit of
the homeless money because there's two billion missing.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And remember there was a.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
A civil lawsuit against the city and to find out
where it went, and Karen Bass spent six million dollars
of city tax money six million in order to protect
her from testifying. She never had to testify, and they
wanted to find out, well, where'd the two billion go?
(12:10):
She didn't have to say. Well, here's Kenneth Mihea and
he'll describe what it's like to try to do an audit.
Nobody in the city government wants to hear about it anymore.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
How the city of Los Angeles spent millions of dollars
to avoid transparency and accountability by yours truly, Kenneth Mihia,
your city controller, if you didn't know, the City of
Los Angeles was sued over its homelessness efforts, and part
of that case, the city had to undergo an audit.
And instead of going with the independently elected city controller,
(12:43):
who is the city's auditor, who actually would have done
this for free, the city ended up spending nearly three
million dollars on an outside firm who is not an
audit firm, to actually conduct this audit over homelessness spending
and also homelessness efforts as well. And so when the
results came back, the city actually disparaged the results. You know,
(13:05):
they didn't call it a real audit, it was an assessment.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And so here we are today.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
And the judge, instead of appointing a receivership over all
of the city's homelessness efforts, decided that the city needs
a monitor over its homelessness spending and efforts in real time.
And so, wow, here's another opportunity for oversight. And the
plaintiffs suing the city actually recommended our office, the current
(13:31):
city Controller's office, to be a monitor. But the City
of La rejected that. They said, nope, not you again.
And so you know, my audit team, we have decades
of experience in technical expertise with data of homelessness. Subject
matter experts we created the city's homelessness dashboard were also independent.
(13:54):
So I thought, wow, this would have been perfect because
we're already doing the work. But nope, the city decided
that they are going to pick the former city controller,
my predecessor, and so I thought, wow, it's not that
they don't want the city controller. They don't want this
city controller, me Kenath and Mihia, the independent elected city
(14:14):
controller that you all wanted me to bring that transparency
and accountability. But anyways, I'm here to make sure that
we will continue to provide that independence and that that
oversight that you will want and voted for. Okay, so
we'll keep you all posted.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I believe that the city controller, the elected city controller,
and this guy's a socialist, but he does audits and
he tells the truth about all the blown money and
the blown budgets. He has been telling the truth, so
the city council and Bass don't want to hear about
it because maybe he'll find out where the two billion
(14:52):
went that Bass is covering up. There's two billion dollars missing.
She's responsible, She's got to know about it. And she
put up literally fifteen lawyers and six million dollars of
city tax money to keep us from finding out. And
then they spent another three million in city tax money
(15:13):
to keep Kenneth Mahea from doing his own audit, and
they hired an outside audit firm who isn't really an
audit firm, and even then the results came out and
made Karen let Bass look really bad. So she's running
for reelection in fourteen months. She's running for reelection with
two billion dollars missing and her spending almost ten million
(15:34):
dollars now to try to cover it up between the
attorneys and the auditing firm. And we're going to bring
this up constantly until she comes clean about where the
two billion. Well, I'm not talking about two million. I'm
talking about two billion dollars in homeless money.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
So I've played you eclips before of Gavin Newsom inciting
violence against ice agents, even went on Stephen Colbert Show
to do it. And we know what happened in Dallas
yesterday with that gunman who accidentally picked off some illegal immigrants,
killed one, injured two others.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
He was going for ICE agents.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And Newsome is screaming and taunting, carrying on about his
anti mask law, which, as I explained, is just total nonsense.
It's not a thing. You're the puny, little California governor.
You can't tell Ice how to address its federal officers.
(16:47):
And it's shocked how how little attention is given to
that fact that it is simply unconstitutional for the state
to try to enforce a law like that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
One other thing they don't do is they're covering Newsom's
basically this is his presidential campaign, but they don't talk
about the state, the economic state of California that he's
leaving behind. There's only one story I found on this,
and it's in the San Francisco Chronicle. Not exactly highlighted,
but I found it. California's unemployment rate is the highest
(17:26):
among all states fifty states. Hey, we're number one in
something unemployment, and the state has lost jobs in five
of the last eight months. There have been major layoffs
in Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Even government jobs are down. Construction, manufacturing,
(17:53):
financial activities, business and professional services, all those sectors lost
jobs in California in August.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
And so you've.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Got this highest unemployment rate in the country. There's a
guy named Michael Burnick, a special council of Dwayne Morris
and former head of the Employment Development Department, which is
the unemployment department, and he says the state economy is adrift.
(18:33):
Californians account for eighteen percent of new unemployment claims in
this country. Eighteen percent. We're only twelve percent of the
nation's jobs. There's an according to Bernick, there's an outsized
number of Californians looking for work compared with the rest
(18:53):
of the country. So that's that's the conditions that normal
people have to deal with. People have been steadily losing
work here and now we have the highest unemployment rate
in addition to the highest poverty rate, in addition to
(19:14):
the highest homeless rate. And he's going around inciting violence
against ice. And he was at the climate that Clinton
Global Initiative Climate conference.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
And he's in New York City preaching at that climate
conference at the same time that they've closed this gigantic
solar energy plant in California because it just didn't work
very well. It didn't provide the energy that it was
(19:55):
supposed to. I mentioned this earlier, but see, this is
the real story. Is we have blown enormous amounts of
money on renewable energy and we just lost the biggest
solar power facility in the world. And I mean some
(20:21):
of the statistics I read about this plant, and it's
called the Vampa Evanpah Solar Project or ivan PA. It
got a billion and a half dollars in federal loan
guarantees from the Obama administration. This is a bigger failure
than the Cylinder scandal, which was also in California. This
(20:41):
was also an Obama green energy solar project and a Vampa.
Maybe you didn't know this incinerates more than six thousand
birds a year as the birds fly by, you know,
the solar panels concentrate the sunlight and create intense heat
(21:05):
like a thousand degrees And if a bird flies into
a thousand degree heat, it immediately cooks and gets incinerated.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
And that's a live feed we have from the solar.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, so six thousand of them that's.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
A two billion.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Dollars It was supposed to provide a significant amount of
energy to California.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Total failure at.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Uh there's a online journalist Kevin Dalton says, as Gavin
Newsom takes a taxpayer funded vacation at Climate Week in
New York City, the environmental catastrophe that the Yvonpas Solar
power facility is shutting down. The two billion dollar blo
was built on thirty five hundred pristine acres of Mohave Desert.
(22:05):
It is incinerated now total sixty thousand birds. It's been
open for ten years, so six thousand birds a year.
At sixty thousand incinerated birds dropping from the sky, it
created twice the pollution of a typical power plant. Oh
here's another thing it create. According to Kevin Dalton, it
(22:26):
created eighty six jobs instead of the promised two thousand,
and now it's being shut down. And I'm sure there
was a lot of hooplah when Obama made the good
loan guarantees and Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom were all
(22:47):
so proud. It's a total failure. It didn't work. Just
killed a lot of bear, a lot of birds, and
wasted a lot of money and ruined a lot of
the Mojave desert. There so much, but hey, a lot
of money was made by the people who built this
thing and invested in it. They've already run off with
(23:08):
their share. This is a racket. This is a scam.
It's like the homeless industry, It's like high speed rail.
These are the three big government sponsored rackets really, theft rings,
money laundering rings, homelessness, high speed rail, green energy. And
(23:29):
it'll keep happening.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
This is only the beginning, John, We have breaking news.
What is it.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Former FBI director James Comy has been indicted on charges
of making a false statement and obstruction. This is according
to AP sources. There are multiple sources that are reporting
this now. This just came down.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You know, Trump's probably applauding, and so is Hillary Clinton.
They're both probably thrilled to see that guy led to prison.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
All Right, you got more coming up.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Six forty Moistline eight seven seven, Moist st eighty six,
Last Call for Tomorrow eight seven seven Moist Steady six,
or you use the talk back feature on the iHeartRadio
app one more story, and it's ridiculous. You got cut
five ready, you're not going to believe this. But a
grown man, thirty two years old, an assistant teacher, And
(24:27):
let me tell you, thirty two year old men who
are assistant teachers at that age, there's something funky going on.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Thirty two years go ahead.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Thirty two year old Alexander Lewis is charged with disturbing
schools and malicious injury to property. Deputy Saint Louis, a
teaching assistant at West Florence High School, use the spray
he bought online to mimic the smell of feces. Investigators
believe he sprayed it multiple times between August twenty fifth
and September nineteenth, disrupting classes, triggering health issues and costing
(25:00):
in the district nearly fifty five thousand dollars and inspections
and air conditioning damages.
Speaker 10 (25:06):
The charges, Sir, are gonna be returnable to two different courts.
The malicious injury to personal property charge is gonna be
a returnable to the General Sessions Court on November nineteenth
and nine o'clock.
Speaker 11 (25:22):
The bond for that charge is gonna be eight dollars dollars.
That is a shorty bar.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
Do you understand, yes, sir?
Speaker 7 (25:28):
All right?
Speaker 11 (25:29):
The bond for the interfering with schools is gonna be
returnable to Florence Faster's Court on October fifteenth at ten
o'clock and the bond for that is one thousand and
ninety dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Do you understand, You're said.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
Lewis's total bond was set at just over nine thousand dollars.
For weeks, students and staff reported headaches, nausea, and daisiness
from what they described as a strong gas like smell.
We talked to several parents over the course of several weeks.
This one's sharing health concerns.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
My son has been his asthma's been triggered multiple times
because of this, and I've had him take him to
the doctor three times.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Back in August, the districts sent out and email to
parents saying West Florence High School's gas lines, pro pane systems,
and air quality were inspected and nothing dangerous was found.
Now officials believed the mystery odor was intentional and say
Lewis was behind it.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
And Lewis is due back in court next month.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It was part spray. Really, that's the name of the product.
She spray it around. It smells like poop. This was
a teacher, I'm looking at him, fat faced, bearded guy,
thirty two years old, an assistant teacher in Florence, South Carolina.
And that was from WPDETV. Alexis Cooper was the reporter
who sounded like she was what wealth, Well, they don't
(26:51):
pay well. Definitely fresh out of college.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
That's what the guy at the l like times now too,
you know, so it's all the same. I'm kiddus.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
And the thing is he's doing this repeatedly, spraying fart
spraying the fart spray, or, as it says in the
news story, designed to imitate fecal odor.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Hey, some that mother's proud. Huh.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Now you're just sitting a home and you see your
son's bugshot pop up on the screen for spreading fart
spray around the school. When we come back, well that'll
be tomorrow. Conway is up next. Michael Kurzer has the
news live in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. You
(27:41):
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
forty from one to four pm. Every Monday through Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app already on the you can listen to
the podcast after four o'clock and in the one o'clock hour,
Michael Monks explain this new report on the horrible response
(00:26):
by the county in Los Angeles County, all of government,
the entire Los Angeles County government, terrible response to the fires.
We knew that this report explains some of how bad
it is, but doesn't tell you why, It doesn't tell
you who. But you could hear Michael's report, it was
(00:47):
very good. In the one o'clock hour on the podcast.
All right, let's go to Alex Stone. The other big
thing today is there was quite a press conference late
this morning about the suspect who shot up the Dallas
Ice Detention Center, Joshua John or jen is his name,
(01:08):
and he killed one immigrant, injured two others. It was
just indiscriminate shooting with his rifle from a rooftop nearby
and then killed himself and to fill in more details,
Alex Stone, ABC News Tylor John.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yeah, so a lot we learned today.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Investigators believed that the shooter acted alone, that there was
nobody with them, that he wasn't coordinating it with anybody.
This twenty nine year old guy that they say they
can see on surveillance video that he arrived at around
three in the morning with a ladder on his car,
used that to go up to his perch on the
staircase on the neighboring building or right across the street,
(01:45):
knowing that that ICE vehicles would be arriving at around
six thirty in the morning with the tainees from the
early morning operations that they go out on and then
they all come back at the same time to begin
processing them at the building. And as they pulled in,
it was a caravan of their vans, of the ICE
vans coming in with the detainees in them. He opened fire,
(02:06):
they think, believing that he was firing at agents and
didn't mean to hit the detainees. That he thought he
was hitting agents. But the acting US Attorney, Nancy Larson,
laid out these handwritten notes that they have found in
his apartment, and she says that they said a lot.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They said this one.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Of these notes or papers, the sniper explicitly states, yes,
it was just me. That statement appears to be correct
at this point in the investigation. Notably, these loose notes
included a game plan of the attack and target areas
at the facility. He called the ICE employees people showing
(02:45):
up to collect a dirty paycheck. He wrote that he
intended to maximize lethality against ICE personnel.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And they say his notes made it clear he wanted
to inflict real terror on the ICE agents and ICE
agents in general, so to be watching their back so
when they're out in the streets and doing do stress
on their lives, and to make them worried when they're
out doing these operations. He expressed hatred for the federal
government in his notes. But they say, John, it does
not appear he ad any connection to a bigger group
of ideology that they see it as domestic terrorism, but
(03:15):
it's not terrorism in the sense of that there was
some bigger guiding force in this. But they say he
did research on the building and movements on the ICE agents,
even using tracking apps that are apparently out there for
the in the open that people mark where they see
ICE agents, and you can track where they're moving around.
The FBI special Agent and charge Jill Rothrocks, and he.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Knew with a high likelihood ICE detainees would be transported
that morning in the exact location where he was facing
from his perch on a nearby rooftop.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
And they say the gun was a bolt action rifle
that he bought legally back in August. And they also
say John that ICE and ATF agents were heroes yesterday
and all of this and the injured and dead detainees,
they were shackled in the van and they could not
get out on their own as you would expect somebody
who's being detained or have been arrested. That they were
in handcuffs and in some cases shackles and locked into
(04:08):
that van.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
And the agents say say went into the.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Line of fire to rescue those detainees who were stuck
in the van and couldn't get away from the gunfire.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Agents from both ICE and the ATF put themselves in
the line of fire to move individuals off the transportation
vehicles in an attempt to protect and rescue those that
were injured. I want to thank them for their bravery.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
So the casualty count remains that one detainee was killed,
two other detainees critically injured. But they say it is
clear to them that the target was the agents, and
that they're still collecting evidence, but they don't know how
many shots were fired. They believe that he had been
planning this attack for many months, but that he thought
he was hitting or tried to hit agents and not detainees,
and he got it very wrong and hit only detainees
(04:50):
and no agents. All right, thank you very much, Alex,
you got it, Thanks John. All Right, good report. Here
the part about agents. They actually walked into the line
of fire to rescue the immigrants who were shot inside
the vehicle, but they couldn't get out because they were shackled.
(05:12):
So while the firing was going on, the agents went
in there to rescue these guys. One died but two survived.
And now you compare this to the way our sociopathic
narcissist governor Gavin Newsom, what he was saying on Stephen
(05:33):
Colder the other night. Let's play that clip about the
standing army.
Speaker 5 (05:36):
The ice issue is alarming beyond words. It is the private,
the largest private domestic army of its type police force
anywhere in the world. He'll have thirty thousand people that
increasingly appeared to be swore in an oath of office
to him, not the constitution of the United States again,
wake up to what's going on in this country?
Speaker 2 (05:58):
All right, Well, Joshua John woke up next morning, woke
up and brought his rifle and wanted to shoot some
of those ICE agents dead. Maybe he watched Colbert the
night before and that he'd been fighting this for weeks,
modeling and after the Charlie Kirk killing, right down to
the inscribed bullets, just like the inscribed bullets that Luigi
(06:18):
Manngion had to kill that healthcare executive. And then you
had Tyler Robinson with inscribed bullets to kill Charlie Kirk.
Now you've got this character, Joshua jan with inscribed bullets
to kill ICE agents, set anti ICE right there, right
there on the bullet, and Newsom is calling it the
largest private police force, standing army, sparring an oath to Trump.
(06:45):
That's false news was lying. None of them swore an
oath to Trump. You could see though, how that would
stir up a crazy person. I mean, this kid was
stirred up by the Charlie Kirk killing, guarded copying some
of the aspects of the Charlie Kirk killing. And then
here's Newsome, the leading Democratic presidential candidate, saying, yeah, they're
(07:12):
not defending America. Here, they're not working for America. This
is a private army by Trump. Well, it sounds like
a call to arms to me. And again what Newsom
said about the masks, play cut number six.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Again, I'll be signing a bill first in the nation.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Saying enough, Ice unmasked, what are you afraid of?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Tough boy? Huh? How big is it? Newsome? Security? For us?
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It's easy for him to stand there and say, hey, guys,
what are you afraid of? Well, a bullet in the
head maybe could have been a bullet in the heads
of several ICE agents, say yesterday morning instead the immigrants
got it.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But good job, Gavin, good job.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's what you want in a leader, somebody stirring up
insane people to randomly shoot rifles at law enforcement agents.
And by the way, on his stupid mask idea idea,
if you can call it that, I heard it an illegal analysis.
Today it's impossible for local or state law enforcement to
(08:22):
arrest a federal officer on constitutional practically, it's impossible because
the ICE officers would arrest the state or local cop
for obstruction of a federal law enforcement agent, and the
(08:43):
state or local cop would go to federal prison. That's
what would happen. So if you think there are going
to be any cops enforcing Gavin Newsom's stupid mask rule, well,
if they try, they're going to go to federal prison.
It will not succeed, not once. Not one ICE agent's
going to remove it as mask in California, and not
(09:04):
one local or state officer is going to try to
arrest them unless they want to go to federal prison.
That's how stupid your governor is. But hey, keep voting
the way you're voting.
Speaker 6 (09:16):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand
on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So I was scrolling through X.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And I found this you have that Kenneth mahaclip I
would play it in just a.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Second, not yet.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
And we talked earlier about if you were listening at
this time yesterday we had the Santa Monica mayor here
Letna ne Grete on for the whole hour, and she
was talking about, you know, all the terrible things going
on in Santa Monica, which she agreed with. She says
the city council is stacked against her six to one.
(10:05):
They're all progressives and they just promote laws and policies
that attract more homelessness. She blamed a lot on the
stupid Expo train or the E line that brings in
trainloads of homeless vagrants, mental patients, and drug addicts every night.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Really, you don't want to be on the platform when
the last E train comes in in Santa Monica because
they get dumped into Santa Monica. And Santa Monica has
a preponderance of homeless shelters and treatment centers, and Venice
does too, so that's one of the reasons. It's a
(10:47):
magnet for all the crazy people. And that's why we
can't go there anymore. I can't go to the beach,
can't go to the park, can't go to the promenade,
can't go to the shopping mall, can't go to the restaurants,
can't go cank go because they have a new influx
all the time, and it's really aggravating because they spent
billions of dollars on a transit system that exists mostly
(11:10):
to bring mental patients and drug addicts from skid Row
to Santa Monica. And then if you live on the
West Side, you have to deal with the stuff that
originated in skid Row. And then you hear about Inside
Safe and Karen Bass's programs, which are largely fictitious. I
(11:33):
want to play you a clip from Kenneth Mahea. He
posted this online. He's wanted to do an audit of
the homeless money because there's two billion missing.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
And remember there was a.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
A civil lawsuit against the city and to find out
where it went, and Karen Bass spent six million dollars
of city tax money six million in order to protect
her from testifying. She never had to testify, and they
wanted to find out, well, where'd the two billion go?
(12:10):
She didn't have to say. Well, here's Kenneth Mihea and
he'll describe what it's like to try to do an audit.
Nobody in the city government wants to hear about it anymore.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
How the city of Los Angeles spent millions of dollars
to avoid transparency and accountability by yours truly, Kenneth Mihia,
your city controller, if you didn't know, the City of
Los Angeles was sued over its homelessness efforts, and part
of that case, the city had to undergo an audit.
And instead of going with the independently elected city controller,
(12:43):
who is the city's auditor, who actually would have done
this for free, the city ended up spending nearly three
million dollars on an outside firm who is not an
audit firm, to actually conduct this audit over homelessness spending
and also homelessness efforts as well. And so when the
results came back, the city actually disparaged the results. You know,
(13:05):
they didn't call it a real audit, it was an assessment.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
And so here we are today.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
And the judge, instead of appointing a receivership over all
of the city's homelessness efforts, decided that the city needs
a monitor over its homelessness spending and efforts in real time.
And so, wow, here's another opportunity for oversight. And the
plaintiffs suing the city actually recommended our office, the current
(13:31):
city Controller's office, to be a monitor. But the City
of La rejected that. They said, nope, not you again.
And so you know, my audit team, we have decades
of experience in technical expertise with data of homelessness. Subject
matter experts we created the city's homelessness dashboard were also independent.
(13:54):
So I thought, wow, this would have been perfect because
we're already doing the work. But nope, the city decided
that they are going to pick the former city controller,
my predecessor, and so I thought, wow, it's not that
they don't want the city controller. They don't want this
city controller, me Kenath and Mihia, the independent elected city
(14:14):
controller that you all wanted me to bring that transparency
and accountability. But anyways, I'm here to make sure that
we will continue to provide that independence and that that
oversight that you will want and voted for. Okay, so
we'll keep you all posted.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I believe that the city controller, the elected city controller,
and this guy's a socialist, but he does audits and
he tells the truth about all the blown money and
the blown budgets. He has been telling the truth, so
the city council and Bass don't want to hear about
it because maybe he'll find out where the two billion
(14:52):
went that Bass is covering up. There's two billion dollars missing.
She's responsible, She's got to know about it. And she
put up literally fifteen lawyers and six million dollars of
city tax money to keep us from finding out. And
then they spent another three million in city tax money
(15:13):
to keep Kenneth Mahea from doing his own audit, and
they hired an outside audit firm who isn't really an
audit firm, and even then the results came out and
made Karen let Bass look really bad. So she's running
for reelection in fourteen months. She's running for reelection with
two billion dollars missing and her spending almost ten million
(15:34):
dollars now to try to cover it up between the
attorneys and the auditing firm. And we're going to bring
this up constantly until she comes clean about where the
two billion. Well, I'm not talking about two million. I'm
talking about two billion dollars in homeless money.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
So I've played you eclips before of Gavin Newsom inciting
violence against ice agents, even went on Stephen Colbert Show
to do it. And we know what happened in Dallas
yesterday with that gunman who accidentally picked off some illegal immigrants,
killed one, injured two others.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
He was going for ICE agents.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And Newsome is screaming and taunting, carrying on about his
anti mask law, which, as I explained, is just total nonsense.
It's not a thing. You're the puny, little California governor.
You can't tell Ice how to address its federal officers.
(16:47):
And it's shocked how how little attention is given to
that fact that it is simply unconstitutional for the state
to try to enforce a law like that.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
One other thing they don't do is they're covering Newsom's
basically this is his presidential campaign, but they don't talk
about the state, the economic state of California that he's
leaving behind. There's only one story I found on this,
and it's in the San Francisco Chronicle. Not exactly highlighted,
but I found it. California's unemployment rate is the highest
(17:26):
among all states fifty states. Hey, we're number one in
something unemployment, and the state has lost jobs in five
of the last eight months. There have been major layoffs
in Silicon Valley and Hollywood. Even government jobs are down. Construction, manufacturing,
(17:53):
financial activities, business and professional services, all those sectors lost
jobs in California in August.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
And so you've.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Got this highest unemployment rate in the country. There's a
guy named Michael Burnick, a special council of Dwayne Morris
and former head of the Employment Development Department, which is
the unemployment department, and he says the state economy is adrift.
(18:33):
Californians account for eighteen percent of new unemployment claims in
this country. Eighteen percent. We're only twelve percent of the
nation's jobs. There's an according to Bernick, there's an outsized
number of Californians looking for work compared with the rest
(18:53):
of the country. So that's that's the conditions that normal
people have to deal with. People have been steadily losing
work here and now we have the highest unemployment rate
in addition to the highest poverty rate, in addition to
(19:14):
the highest homeless rate. And he's going around inciting violence
against ice. And he was at the climate that Clinton
Global Initiative Climate conference.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Did you see that?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
And he's in New York City preaching at that climate
conference at the same time that they've closed this gigantic
solar energy plant in California because it just didn't work
very well. It didn't provide the energy that it was
(19:55):
supposed to. I mentioned this earlier, but see, this is
the real story. Is we have blown enormous amounts of
money on renewable energy and we just lost the biggest
solar power facility in the world. And I mean some
(20:21):
of the statistics I read about this plant, and it's
called the Vampa Evanpah Solar Project or ivan PA. It
got a billion and a half dollars in federal loan
guarantees from the Obama administration. This is a bigger failure
than the Cylinder scandal, which was also in California. This
(20:41):
was also an Obama green energy solar project and a Vampa.
Maybe you didn't know this incinerates more than six thousand
birds a year as the birds fly by, you know,
the solar panels concentrate the sunlight and create intense heat
(21:05):
like a thousand degrees And if a bird flies into
a thousand degree heat, it immediately cooks and gets incinerated.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
And that's a live feed we have from the solar.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah, so six thousand of them that's.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
A two billion.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Dollars It was supposed to provide a significant amount of
energy to California.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Total failure at.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Uh there's a online journalist Kevin Dalton says, as Gavin
Newsom takes a taxpayer funded vacation at Climate Week in
New York City, the environmental catastrophe that the Yvonpas Solar
power facility is shutting down. The two billion dollar blo
was built on thirty five hundred pristine acres of Mohave Desert.
(22:05):
It is incinerated now total sixty thousand birds. It's been
open for ten years, so six thousand birds a year.
At sixty thousand incinerated birds dropping from the sky, it
created twice the pollution of a typical power plant. Oh
here's another thing it create. According to Kevin Dalton, it
(22:26):
created eighty six jobs instead of the promised two thousand,
and now it's being shut down. And I'm sure there
was a lot of hooplah when Obama made the good
loan guarantees and Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom were all
(22:47):
so proud. It's a total failure. It didn't work. Just
killed a lot of bear, a lot of birds, and
wasted a lot of money and ruined a lot of
the Mojave desert. There so much, but hey, a lot
of money was made by the people who built this
thing and invested in it. They've already run off with
(23:08):
their share. This is a racket. This is a scam.
It's like the homeless industry, It's like high speed rail.
These are the three big government sponsored rackets really, theft rings,
money laundering rings, homelessness, high speed rail, green energy. And
(23:29):
it'll keep happening.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
This is only the beginning, John, We have breaking news.
What is it.
Speaker 8 (23:35):
Former FBI director James Comy has been indicted on charges
of making a false statement and obstruction. This is according
to AP sources. There are multiple sources that are reporting
this now. This just came down.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
You know, Trump's probably applauding, and so is Hillary Clinton.
They're both probably thrilled to see that guy led to prison.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
All Right, you got more coming up.
Speaker 6 (24:00):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Six forty Moistline eight seven seven, Moist st eighty six,
Last Call for Tomorrow eight seven seven Moist Steady six,
or you use the talk back feature on the iHeartRadio
app one more story, and it's ridiculous. You got cut
five ready, you're not going to believe this. But a
grown man, thirty two years old, an assistant teacher, And
(24:27):
let me tell you, thirty two year old men who
are assistant teachers at that age, there's something funky going on.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Thirty two years go ahead.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Thirty two year old Alexander Lewis is charged with disturbing
schools and malicious injury to property. Deputy Saint Louis, a
teaching assistant at West Florence High School, use the spray
he bought online to mimic the smell of feces. Investigators
believe he sprayed it multiple times between August twenty fifth
and September nineteenth, disrupting classes, triggering health issues and costing
(25:00):
in the district nearly fifty five thousand dollars and inspections
and air conditioning damages.
Speaker 10 (25:06):
The charges, Sir, are gonna be returnable to two different courts.
The malicious injury to personal property charge is gonna be
a returnable to the General Sessions Court on November nineteenth
and nine o'clock.
Speaker 11 (25:22):
The bond for that charge is gonna be eight dollars dollars.
That is a shorty bar.
Speaker 10 (25:26):
Do you understand, yes, sir?
Speaker 7 (25:28):
All right?
Speaker 11 (25:29):
The bond for the interfering with schools is gonna be
returnable to Florence Faster's Court on October fifteenth at ten
o'clock and the bond for that is one thousand and
ninety dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Do you understand, You're said.
Speaker 9 (25:43):
Lewis's total bond was set at just over nine thousand dollars.
For weeks, students and staff reported headaches, nausea, and daisiness
from what they described as a strong gas like smell.
We talked to several parents over the course of several weeks.
This one's sharing health concerns.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
My son has been his asthma's been triggered multiple times
because of this, and I've had him take him to
the doctor three times.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Back in August, the districts sent out and email to
parents saying West Florence High School's gas lines, pro pane systems,
and air quality were inspected and nothing dangerous was found.
Now officials believed the mystery odor was intentional and say
Lewis was behind it.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
And Lewis is due back in court next month.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It was part spray. Really, that's the name of the product.
She spray it around. It smells like poop. This was
a teacher, I'm looking at him, fat faced, bearded guy,
thirty two years old, an assistant teacher in Florence, South Carolina.
And that was from WPDETV. Alexis Cooper was the reporter
who sounded like she was what wealth, Well, they don't
(26:51):
pay well. Definitely fresh out of college.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
That's what the guy at the l like times now too,
you know, so it's all the same. I'm kiddus.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
And the thing is he's doing this repeatedly, spraying fart
spraying the fart spray, or, as it says in the
news story, designed to imitate fecal odor.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Hey, some that mother's proud. Huh.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Now you're just sitting a home and you see your
son's bugshot pop up on the screen for spreading fart
spray around the school. When we come back, well that'll
be tomorrow. Conway is up next. Michael Kurzer has the
news live in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey,
