Speaker 1 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the air every
day from one until four o'clock and if you miss
some are all the show. That's why we post the podcast,
John Cobelt's Show on demand on the iHeart app and
you can pick up whatever you missed. We are going
(00:23):
to get back to the immigration raids that have been
going on in downtown Los Angeles this morning and into
the afternoon, and Michael Monks is going to come on
from KFI News to describe what's been going on. We
just saw a few minutes ago that a crowd was
forming around the ICE agents who were trying to drive
(00:46):
down some downtown streets. They were in bearcats, dozens of
agents hanging off the bearcats vulnerable position, and all these
locals doing everything they could to get in the way.
I mean, one guy was on a scooter, one guy
got run over by an suv. They were throwing stuff
at the agents. Eventually the agents started flying firing flashbang devices.
(01:10):
Finally that scattered the crowd. For most of this, because
it looked like a riot was going to start most
of this, there was no sign of LAPD. This is
what you have in Karen Bass's Los Angeles. They leave,
literally leave the ice agents hanging hanging off, the bearcats,
exposed and vulnerable because the police wuldn't provide any protection.
(01:33):
Only when finally they got out of traffic and they
had some clear road to drive down, then we saw
four police cars show up, but they weren't even getting
an escort up to that point. It's really disgusting. Bass
is just so reprehensible.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
The other thing going on today is these lunatic progressive
climate fanatic cultists, and they're on the Air Quality Management District.
It's the South Coast air Quality Management District that governs
Orange County, La County, San Bordino, and Riverside, and they
(02:11):
are voting on this this new regulation which would eventually
make it impossible for you to have a gas furnace
or a gas water heater. You'd have to get an
electric furnace and an electric water heater at some point,
and it's going to cost you a lot of money,
(02:32):
and they're voting on it. This afternoon, we're going to
talk with John Fleischman is one of the few writers
out there in the media who've been publicizing this. He
has a flash report dot org. He's got a substack
as well. John, How are you again? Doing fine?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
All things considered? And I'm happy to be back on
the show and I'm happy to give you guys an
update on what's going on.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So well, yeah, tell us, Well, there's been a couple
there's a couple of things going on.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
First and foremost, the item is actually being considered right
now that has a several hundred speakers all morning long,
lots of names from the Environmental Defense Fund and all
of these other nonprofits that probably all trace their money
back to George Soros. But maybe we ought to start
with well, you already articulated what's going on here. So
(03:23):
this South Post air Quality Management District that was created
by state law has the ability to pass all kinds
of taxes, draconian regulations, and the one that they've got
on the table right now, as you aptly put, over
a period of time, would add costs increasing year over
year over year, until ultimately their goal is to force
(03:45):
you in your home to have to put in new
electrical wiring and put in an electric water here, which
I mean that whole endeavor today is some eight to
nine to ten thousand dollars, Lord knows what it will
be years from now, and their estimate that if this
policy goes into effect, it could cost seven over seven
billion dollars from people that live in the greater Los
(04:08):
Angeles area. So it's really crazy. And all of it
is to reduce a diminimus amount of a particular chemical
in the air that I mean, it's it's there's literally
no prudence, there's no thought that is the sacrifice worth
it because the reality is, I mean, all the boats
going out, going in and out of Long Beach in
(04:29):
La Harbor produced more of this chemical than anything else.
So but the update really the two updates. The first
update is that yesterday the new United States Attorney for
the Southern District, Billy Aselli. You've talked about him on
(04:50):
the show because he's the only He's now going after
illegal immigration in La which is a new novelty. But
he sent a letter to the chairman of the AQ
and B Boy yesterday informing the Mamage a matter of fact,
i'll read it to you, deer Chair Delgado and governing
board members, the United States government is committed to the
removal of illegitimate impediments to the use of domestic energy resources,
(05:14):
including natural gas. And I'll skip through a bunch of
the legal stuff, and he says, to protect the interests
of the American people, the Attorney General has been directed
to take all appropriate action to stop enforcement of and
then it's these rules, and so he's made it very
clear that if they pass it today, his office is
(05:34):
prepared to take And now I'm reading again all steps
necessary to enforce federal law, including filing a civil action,
seeking any and all available relief, including injunctive relief, monetary damages,
and penalties. So the Trump administration has thrown down the
legal card, and I think it's having an impact. I
(05:54):
say that because I've been watching the meeting this morning
on my I'm watching it because no Almal people that
are listening to their show, to this show Patriots all
are not watching it. But I can tell you that
we went into the meeting. There's twelve people on this board,
one of whom there's actually thirteen, but Gavin Newsom's point
to his vacant and he hasn't filled it. So there
(06:17):
are twelve people, which means to stop a bad rule,
you need six. And we start with the four Republicans
out of twelve of them four two from San Bernardino
County and two from Orange County are Republicans. Now.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I talked about one of them last hour, Janet Win,
and she was.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Super talking to Supervisor Win. Just Supervisor Win just spoke
and talked about the inconvenient truth of the cost of
this and how nobody's prepared to do this. She was
a very forceful speaker against it. We expect her and
the other three Republicans are already voting no. And of
course Holly Mitchell, Supervisor Mitchell is speaking right now about
(06:56):
what a wonderful idea this is. You know which is?
You know which is a joke.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
She's the one who allows the hundreds of r vs
to dump thousands of gallons of feces and human waste
onto the streets of her district, all the homeless people
that live in those RVs.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
But here's some good news. Before she spoke, Brenda Almos,
who's from the Paramount City Council, who has always voted
lockstep with her fellow Democrats. We got to her. He
announced that she's voting no. And so now we have five.
That means if one more person votes known there's a
couple we're looking at, then we will have stopped it
(07:40):
at least today, and then Gavin Newsom could appoint that
other person. But this is about a one step at
a time. So it's if we were on the air
two hours from now, which maybe we could be, I
might have a definitive answer for you. I'll certainly let
you know so you can let your listeners know.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Okay, so if you find something out, call us immediately.
We'll put you right on.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I will. I will definitely let you know. They're talking
right now. But we're having a real impact. I was
told that since we talked about this on the program,
they've had thousands of more emails come in. And I
know that I've had, you know, of my substack, which
is so does it matter?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Dot com?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Soodoesitmatter?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Dot Com?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And I've had from your show, thousands of people come
in and I get notified every time they click the
button to send. So I know over a thousand emails
came in just through my site from being on your show,
and all of those emails matter, So you know, you know,
I encourage people to check it out, but we're going
to stay on it and As soon as there's an update,
(08:44):
I will call into the show and let you know.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You know, all these people, most of them are local politicians,
and they represent people who can't afford any of this nonsense.
This is what makes me crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well, I just watched the aforementioned prosor talk about how
we all represent individual cities or counties. But you know,
we have to look for the greater good of the region.
So shame on you, John that you don't have the
proper perspective about looking at for the greater good of
the region. So it's just the whole thing is just
(09:17):
absolutely nutty because these policies that they want to enact,
it's not wealthy people that can't afford a new electric
water heater ys. Those people are like, well it's inconvenient,
but okay, right, But it's the people she represents in
the parts of Los Angeles County that can least afford
extra expense at this particular time, and she is perfectly
(09:39):
comfortable saying, boom, your water here more expensive tomorrow, and
more and more expensive. It's the whole thing is just
completely nutty. The very very people who have the most
vested interest to oppose this policy are the ones that
are supporting in And it's because voters are asleep at
the switch and instead of electing somebody that cares about
(10:00):
their pocketbook, they're electing these upwardly mobile left wing lunatics
who's whose focus is on where are the environmental crazies?
And you know, you get you know, I always tell people, John,
and you you do too, You get who you vote for? Yes,
And I hope that people open up their their are
(10:20):
their eyes and the Holly Mitchell's of the world get
shown the door because they're just absolutely ridiculous what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
All Right, John Fleischman, thank you very much. So does
it matter? Is the substack? Right? So does itmatter? Dot Com?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So does itmatter?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Dot Com?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Thanks you?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Straight there.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Okay, we'll talk to you if something happens, you let
us know first thing. Okay, you got it, you John,
all right, and we come back. We'll tell you about
the the immigration raids going on in downtown Los Angeles.
And there's been immigration raids in southern California all this week,
enraging people who don't think laws ought to be enforced.
It's a peculiar time we're living in.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
M six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Follow us at John co Belt Radio on social media
area go just too excited Today Ice agents. We're all
over southern California. They have been all over all week,
but they were in downtown La today. They were going
through the fashion district. And this is from the La Times.
(11:30):
By the way, all the coverage this week in the
La Times San Diego Union Tribune is all disapproving. It's
it's I'll give you an example. US Immigrations and Custom
Enforcement agents were carrying out a series of sweeps across
(11:50):
southern California on Friday morning, sparking fear and anxiety among
immigrant communities. The context of the fear and anxiety is
they're breaking the law. You see, and if you were
in a country illegally and you heard that the president
(12:12):
wasn't putting up with it anymore because eighty percent of
the public wanted it to stop and they wanted deportations. Yeah,
feel fear and anxiety. Why didn't you obail the law
and get out on your own? Then you knew what
you were doing when you came here. You made this choice.
(12:33):
This is the life you wanted. So now we're enforcing
the law like every other country does. This was no surprise.
Trump has campaigned on this for ten freaking years. He
didn't do enough of this in his first term. But
now they're serious and it's really happening, and everybody's going,
oh my god. And the terribly misleading way it gets covered.
(13:01):
La Times story about this nine year old boy in Torrance.
Headline is Torrance boy, age nine, detained by Ice for
playing deportation to Honduras. Community is outraged. What do they
leave out of the headline. He is being grabbed and
(13:21):
deported by himself. He and his father are being deported together. Okay,
so you can't even use the Trump is splitting up
families argument here. No, the family's being deported together. Community
is outraged. Who cares, They're outraged because the law is
(13:43):
being enforced. These people need to go to a classroom
and learn how it works in a civilized country. Their laws,
and we pay law enforcement to enforce those laws. If
that's not too redundant. And then it says here they
were taken into custody in downtown Los Angeles and transferred
(14:05):
to Texas. Parents with Torrance Elementary's PTA sent out a
letter asking residents to reach out to elected officials to
drop support for the boy. Well, you've got to go
through several paragraphs here one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
(14:27):
ten before they tell you the truth. The father, martyr
Garcia Benegas, arrived in the US on July tenth of
twenty twenty one with his son, but an immigration judge
ordered the father and son to be deported back to
Honduras on September one, twenty twenty two. So they have
(14:51):
been here illegally for two and a half years after
they were ordered deported. So the headline is, isn't boy
and his dad who defied deportation order rounded up in Torrents. No,
that's not in the headline. That didn't make the first
nine paragraphs of the story because this is the LA times.
(15:17):
They went through due process, right, What were they crying
about with that? With that wife beater guy, Oh you
didn't get due process? Well they're bringing him back and
it turns out he helped smuggle thousands of illegal aliens
into this country, gang members many of them. So if
(15:40):
you do the due process, they ignore it. If you
don't do the due process, the LA Times and these
other media outlets make a big stink. You want to
change the law, go change the law. But the law
says if you're found here illegally, you go to a judge.
Judge says you're deported. That means you have to go.
(16:02):
So they get ordered deported September one, twenty twenty two.
The dad, martyr Garcia Benegas appeals the decision to the
Board of Immigration Appeals August eleventh, twenty twenty three, so
he got almost an extra year here on appeal. The
appeal was dismissed. A judge set again, you gotta get out,
(16:25):
and again the dad and this nine year old boy
didn't leave the country even though he was ordered by
the immigration judge. Oh Jae. That's in paragraph eleven of
the La Times. Paragraph eleven, you find out they have
been ordered deported twice. Well, then they were upset. The
(16:51):
Times writers, who is this I don't even know, got
to print out without their names. Heavily armed Ice and
Homeland Security investigated. Heavily armed Ice and Homeland Security agents
executed search warrants at two restaurants in a San Diego neighborhood,
(17:11):
and I guess looking for the father and the reason
they're heavily armed. You saw go watch the video tonight
on the news where there were dozens and dozens of
people interfering with the ice raid, throwing things at the
ICE officers, hanging off the bearcats as they were rolling
(17:34):
down the downtown streets. They were getting in the way
of the bearcats with scooters and bicycles. They were shouting
and jeering, throwing things. That's why they're heavily armed because
whatever's living in that neighborhood, whether it's Americans or other
(17:55):
illegal aliens, they're all acting like a bunch of animals,
and they're not letting WA enforcement do what we pay
them to do, what the law says. Again, if you
don't like it, there are about two hundred other countries.
Why don't you go there illegally and see what happens.
I have a suggestion in countries try China and Russia.
Why don't you go there illegally, see what the reception is.
(18:20):
See if they give you years and years? Well, in fact,
why don't you violate a deportation order twice in Russia
and then you can send us a postcard from the
prison in Siberia. I've realized the education system has completely collapsed.
(18:40):
You have the progressive mind virus has taken over so
much of the country. People can't recognize the basics that
we used to know when we were three years old.
There's a set of laws and then we pay law
enforcement in the government to enforce them, and you have
to obey and respect the laws and the enforcement. That's
(19:02):
the way it always worked back in more rational times.
But now we got like whole generations who's never seen
the law enforced before. Right. They see people stealing almost
one thousand dollars from the local target or cvs. They
see people openly selling drugs and guns on the street,
people living in tents, and they think, well, you know
(19:26):
it doesn't it's out of Friday, your Saturday night. You
have these road races going on. Nothing's enforced. So when
you see enforcement, it's like, what's that That's wrong. I'm outraged.
He's six years old. I'm outraged. All right. We got
(19:48):
more on this coming up with Michael Monks from KFI News.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Round from one until four and then after four clock.
John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. By
the way, I just wanted to mention that the two
writers for the La Times who took eleven paragraphs to
admit that the Torrens point his dad, who were getting deported,
Nathan Solis and Ruben Vivez, took them eleven paragraphs to
mention that they had been officially deported by a judge
(20:20):
twice and they were still here. And that's why Ice
took them away this week and tore it so Nathan
Solis and Ruben Vivez, instead of putting that in the
first paragraph, they put it in the eleventh paragraph. All right,
now on to a real reporter, Michael Monks caf I News.
And he never buries the lead. He never buries the
main point of the story. And actually, you have a
lot to cover because just all kinds of nutty stuff
(20:42):
is happening. Let's start first. Topic number one is the
immigration raids in downtown LA with Ice. I watched some
of the coverage on TV.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
The scenes unfolding were pretty dramatic, and we can see
that the federal Immigration enforcement officials are really not messing around.
They're not afraid of Los Angeles. They are going to
come in and do the work that they feel that
they are empowered to do that the Trump administration wants
to see happen. It started early this morning. The first
thing we heard about was at the Home Depot store
on Wilshire in Westlake that.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Some guys had been picked up. Now, I'm in that
area a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
There's a pandem Express there that I frequent every week,
and you do see guys kind of hanging out in
the parking lot, probably looking for day laborer work. And
so this was the first site that was hit this morning. Okay,
so we get some reports about that, we put it
in the news. But then a bigger scene unfolded down
the road in the Fashion district in Los Angeles outside
of a clothing store called Ambiance. They make or sell
(21:36):
clothes inside this building, and that's what the scene got
a little hairy because protesters showed up. They were blocking
Ice enforcement agents either from leaving or getting into the
building at one point. And then you saw some military
tactical guys showing up in some very serious equipment. So
this scene started to escalate pretty quickly with some folks
who were antagonizing the federal officials.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
We did see it.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
About two dozen different guys brought out and detained in
that particular raid. And we also have reports now that
a warehouse connected to that same company in South LA
has been visited by federal officials as well.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yes, this for that particular raid.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
We've been told that there were search warrants for illegal
immigration and people who are harboring illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And they're driving around these bearcats, yeah, with like a
dozen ICE agents hanging off the side, and they're dressed
in full camouflage. It looked like they have very serious
weapons they're holding. I'm not a gun guy, so I
don't know how to identify them.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
But you saw some protesters on scooters and I don't
think the scooter's going to hold up to some of
the equipment that we saw rolling into the fashion district.
In fact, the tactics used by the federal officials today
did not go unnoticed by city councilmen. Unices Hernandez and
if we can, I've got something from today's city council
meeting that she said today she's a gym at least.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
A sanctuary city, and we've made it clear that we
will not cooperate and use our resources for ice in
federal immigration enforcement. But that doesn't stop them from showing up.
And now we're seeing their tactics quickly escalate. They're swooping
and fast without warning and leaving justice quickly. They don't
hang around because they know we mobilize, Our resistance is working,
and that's exactly why they have elevated their approach and
(23:13):
changing their approach colleagues. Angelino's I'm asking you to get ready.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
So if I get ready, she means she's got websites,
You've got different forms to know your rights and to
know what to do, and to let other people know
what's happening when it's happening.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
That's how they're able to get protests. She doesn't want
American law to be enforced. Like, what who does she represent?
Did she represent American citizens?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Here?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Is she in an American city?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
All council members voted in favor of that sanctuary city status,
all of them, And that is to suggest that they
don't want any city resources being used in these these
federal immigration raids. Even the LAPD came out today and
said we're not involved in this. You know they did
and they weren't. They don't provide any protection that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So if ICE agents get killed, the LAPD has no interest.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Now that that would be different because that would then
be a crime. But they they won't help, will not
assist in the enforcement efforts unless there is some sort
of court order.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
How about some an escort just to intimidate the protesters
because eventually somebody is going to take a shot at
It was.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
An interesting scene as you saw the federal officials back
out of the Fashion district very slowly in those massive
pieces of military equipment bear cats, Yeah, exactly, and then
the then you saw some LAPD cruisers pull in, I
guess to help disperse the remainder of that scene.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
That's just just just outrageous that the LAPD is not
helping protect the ICE, as it's been their policy since
late seventies. Yeah. Well, on a change, we never had
a legal immigration issues like we do now, and we
never had a president actually follow through on his deportation promises.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Second thing, God, I don't know where to go. Well,
we were at the City City of All today and
then Pride Month and they had a drag show city council. Right, Yes,
with all that's going going on here, you got a
near riot happening downtown LA last night. Looked the palisades
and still burned down.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
We've talked before about this council's inability to read the room,
you know, and and engauge the optics of some of
the drag show they did. Now it is Pride month
and and LA also celebrates that, and they raise a
flag outside the city building.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You know, they're going to govern the city. If they
want to have a drag party at night, all the
council people can enjoy themselves however they want. But a
drag show in the middle of the business day.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Yeah, if Eric has it, I've got a little treat
for you, John. This was inside the chambership at City
Hall today.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Do honor to stand before you, not just as a
council member, but as the only openly queer member of councils.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
This is Isabel Herado, the only.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Openly so many jokes that you can put, it's an
honor to serve on his body.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
So she is, she identifies as the only openly queer
member of city council.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And you know she invited ignorant. I'm trying. It's hard.
What does that mean? I gotta tell you that people
used to be gay, and now queer is something else.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
It's been how do you say, reclaimed, I see by
folks who prefer to use that term. But it's also
all encompassing, so that might not even mean, for example,
that she's what we might have referred to in the
past as a lesbian.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It means a lot of things that's supposed to be
left open to my imagination.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I don't I would not encourage you to explore that
imagination too.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Deeply, but yes, it could be.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
It's it's it's quite quite elaborate, and I do have.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
It's probably a good idea.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Yeah, I do have just one last snack for you
here on this Friday. And this was a SoundBite that
really I guess I'm I'm violating my own integrity here
because this really isn't the news part of this story.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
This was just for you. This is not the news
of the now.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
So, like you know, a big, big deal this La
Metro station opening up at Lax. This is a significant
connector for folks. You no longer have to have a
car to get to Lax. They've got this thing open.
We've got that in the news today. I'll have that
for you guys, but this is three of your favorite people,
all mentioned in one sort of fell swoop, So I
thought we got to get this to Cole Belt, okay,
And I do have.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
To say this is a very very special moment for me.
One welcoming our former Mayor GARCETI back to Los Angeles
first time. I saying, stand up, Mayor Garcetti, so we
can congratulate you and welcome haiate you, and I wanted
to congratulate you also because you led the efforts with
(27:47):
Measure M that was dedicated to this iconic station. I
did hear a little story about how it was going
to be a lot different, and then you came in
and said, no, no, no, it has to be an
iconic destination. And then's former Mayor Antonio via Ragosa, you stand,
we need to acknowledge you. So for me, it's a
(28:11):
special moment because I think this is a beautiful example
of passing the baton. The baton that started with Mayor
via Ragosa, who passed it to Mayor Garcetti, who passed
it to me. And I have the wonderful honor of
being involved in the implementation and carrying through your great work.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
So thank you.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Thank you very much for your leadership.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Of this city.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
There you go, that's the last twenty years of government.
That's your that's twenty years of your show. Let's go
back in time to Los Angeles two thousand and five
as that baton was being passed. Oh you've been here, yes,
and I've watched the place just literally go up in
flames and straight to hell. Well that's all I got
for you, Joseph. That is way too much. That was
a good snack. I felt like blood pressure rising. Maybe
(28:57):
you go back to your imagination at city Hall. I
think I'd rather do that. My head was about to
pop off there, all right, Michael Monks. KFI News always
a pleasure and also KFI Entertainment.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Coming up after three o'clock. A particularly disgusting day in
court in New York with the p Diddy trial and
one of his ex girlfriends, Jane, describing what she went through.
We're gonna have Laura Engel from News Nation coming on.
You know, sex trafficking charges, racketeering, conspiracy, transportation to engage
(29:37):
in prostitution. He could get life in prison. It centers
around the Freak Offs where he had all his friends
and acquaintances come over and these elaborate sex rituals and
a lot of the girls were forced into it, so
the prosecution says, and his ex girlfriend claims she suffered
from constant pain and urinary tract infections because the the
(30:00):
Freak Offs.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That was.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
That was the headline. And anyway, Lori Engle is gonna
come out at three o'clock to explain this because you
know eventually there's going to be a big, big verdict
there and oh that'll be quite a sensation. Now we
are still recovering here. If you heard that clip that
Michael Monks played, we had Karen Bass, who's apparently oblivious
(30:21):
to all the carnage in Los Angeles. She was holding
a celebratory event today because they're opening up a metro
station near lax which is supposed to be pivotal. It's
not worth explaining because who cares. I'm not getting on
a train to the airport no matter what, So I
don't care what they've built there and how much they spent.
(30:43):
But she actually introduced Garcetti and via Gosa, and I'm thinking,
my god, that's the last twenty years of our life
in Los Angeles, Viara, Gosa, Garcetti and Bass and everybody's
cheering and screaming and basses all wound up. It's like,
what's wrong with you? The palisade is still gone? And
these are the mayors who defunded the fire department half
(31:08):
a fire department. Big reason why so much of the
palisades burned is we had very little of a fire
department and very little preparation. And now it's June and
she's standing and cheering and carrying on, and she's got
that bozo Garcetti who unleashed the plague of homeless people
(31:30):
on the city. They should not be allowed in public,
They should not be allowed in the country. I wish
Trump's ice soldiers had raided this event. Wouldn't you like
to see all three of them loaded in the back
of a bear cat and taken to a taken to
a transfer facility in Texas? Is there any way we
(31:51):
could have Bass, Verra, Goosa and Garcetti, especially Garcetti had
wanted to depart twice. They the illegal aliens deported today
didn't do a tiny fraction of the damage to La
that these three stooges dead, these three clowns. How did
gar Citi get rehabilitated? They let him back in the country.
(32:14):
He was in India. He was prancing around and dancing,
waving his arms in the air like this silly, stupid fool.
Last I saw him, that is the last I saw him,
and that was last November. So what's he doing now?
Has he has any idea how he fed up this
city and then bast doubled down on it and now
(32:34):
they're celebrating that they're oping up a train station. But oh,
I was actually well, we were playing that clip Michael
was sitting in here. I felt like a surge of anger.
I felt my head started to hurt. I felt my
neck muscles tightened. I felt my face swell as my
(32:55):
blood pressure went up.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
I think you need to get all three in here
and have a round table discussion.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
A round table discussion. Well, actually have kind of a
round table and we do. Yeah, it's like two thirds
of a round table. Oh God, and nobody there's gonna
be all sorts of coverage tonight on the news. Nobody
is going to do a news story. How nearly everybody
in the Palace ades still can't get a permit process
(33:23):
so they can rebuild their house. Nobody's explained what caused
the fire, has that right? Nobody explained that.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
No, No, it's still possibility of the fireworks.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, still under investigation. That's all forgotten.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
Yeah, the fires are forgotten.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
They are. And Bass has totally botched up the homeless situation.
There's a big surprise, and she just got a break
and that she doesn't have to testify in the lawsuit
against her over botching up and wasting the money in
that civil trial about homelessness, so she doesn't have to
answer to that. She's blocked an audit of Inside Safe.
(34:02):
That Inside Safe things total phony, blowny nonsense, made up numbers.
Oh my, which view of Grosa audio the DNC one,
Oh oh oh yeah, all right, but he gave us
a little shout out, yeah play via Gosa.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Our old friends, mild friend Antonio via Ragosa.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
And Johnny Ken's old friends. Of course. Yes, I like
I told you just now. They need to write you
a check for all you've done for them. Tell to
write a check to my governor's race.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
You know what, I bet they will, just so that
they have fodder for well Ken's gone now, but just
so John has fodder for another four years.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Another When was that clip? I never heard that. That
was the DNC.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
Yeah, now during the Gary and Janis you remember I
said off the air last year?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yes, oh I yes, I didn't realize that was that
was last year. I was thinking of another convention. Oh no, kidding.
Oh so he brought us up last year. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:07):
Oh well, now he wants to be friends, so you
could probably get him on the show because he's running
for government.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I just said I wanted him deported, so he probably
didn't hear I do want him on the show. Well, now, okay,
all right, because all right, this is terrible, but I
mean if it if it ends up like because I
don't know if any of the Republicans are going to
get into the top two. Right, there's Chad Bianco running
the sheriff, and there's also Steve Hilton, the Fox commentator,
(35:36):
and and that's it and not big ray name recognition
yet for these guys. So you can get too top
top two Democrats in the primary. What if it's Viaa
Gosa and Kamala Harris, have them both on together. Viasa
is a genius compared to Kamala Harris, have them debate
one another. Yeah, you'll be the moderator, like you don
(36:04):
might come to that. All right, wait a nightmare. Laura
Ingle's coming up next because she's gonna have all the
fascinating details of the Diddy trial. You know, we're getting
closer and closer to the end. And there was a
witness who wasn't a real name, Jane, one of her
his ex girlfriends or whatever these women are, and she
(36:27):
described in excruciating detail what these freak offs were about,
forced paid sexual encounters and how Comb's controlled her life.
Very similar to Cassie Venture, his girlfriend, the one that
he beat up on that video in the hotel. This
Jane had a similar story. So Laura Ingle will be
(36:49):
is gonna come on with that? And we got two
runs in the Moistline too. Next hour, Big deal coming up,
Deborah Mark a big deal. Oh, thank you, thank You's
the twenty four hour Camfine Newsroom. Hey you've been listening
to the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear
the show live on KFI AM six forty from one
to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app,
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the air every
day from one until four o'clock and if you miss
some are all the show. That's why we post the podcast,
John Cobelt's Show on demand on the iHeart app and
you can pick up whatever you missed. We are going
(00:23):
to get back to the immigration raids that have been
going on in downtown Los Angeles this morning and into
the afternoon, and Michael Monks is going to come on
from KFI News to describe what's been going on. We
just saw a few minutes ago that a crowd was
forming around the ICE agents who were trying to drive
(00:46):
down some downtown streets. They were in bearcats, dozens of
agents hanging off the bearcats vulnerable position, and all these
locals doing everything they could to get in the way.
I mean, one guy was on a scooter, one guy
got run over by an suv. They were throwing stuff
at the agents. Eventually the agents started flying firing flashbang devices.
(01:10):
Finally that scattered the crowd. For most of this, because
it looked like a riot was going to start most
of this, there was no sign of LAPD. This is
what you have in Karen Bass's Los Angeles. They leave,
literally leave the ice agents hanging hanging off, the bearcats,
exposed and vulnerable because the police wuldn't provide any protection.
(01:33):
Only when finally they got out of traffic and they
had some clear road to drive down, then we saw
four police cars show up, but they weren't even getting
an escort up to that point. It's really disgusting. Bass
is just so reprehensible.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
The other thing going on today is these lunatic progressive
climate fanatic cultists, and they're on the Air Quality Management District.
It's the South Coast air Quality Management District that governs
Orange County, La County, San Bordino, and Riverside, and they
(02:11):
are voting on this this new regulation which would eventually
make it impossible for you to have a gas furnace
or a gas water heater. You'd have to get an
electric furnace and an electric water heater at some point,
and it's going to cost you a lot of money,
(02:32):
and they're voting on it. This afternoon, we're going to
talk with John Fleischman is one of the few writers
out there in the media who've been publicizing this. He
has a flash report dot org. He's got a substack
as well. John, How are you again? Doing fine?
Speaker 2 (02:48):
All things considered? And I'm happy to be back on
the show and I'm happy to give you guys an
update on what's going on.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So well, yeah, tell us, Well, there's been a couple
there's a couple of things going on.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
First and foremost, the item is actually being considered right
now that has a several hundred speakers all morning long,
lots of names from the Environmental Defense Fund and all
of these other nonprofits that probably all trace their money
back to George Soros. But maybe we ought to start
with well, you already articulated what's going on here. So
(03:23):
this South Post air Quality Management District that was created
by state law has the ability to pass all kinds
of taxes, draconian regulations, and the one that they've got
on the table right now, as you aptly put, over
a period of time, would add costs increasing year over
year over year, until ultimately their goal is to force
(03:45):
you in your home to have to put in new
electrical wiring and put in an electric water here, which
I mean that whole endeavor today is some eight to
nine to ten thousand dollars, Lord knows what it will
be years from now, and their estimate that if this
policy goes into effect, it could cost seven over seven
billion dollars from people that live in the greater Los
(04:08):
Angeles area. So it's really crazy. And all of it
is to reduce a diminimus amount of a particular chemical
in the air that I mean, it's it's there's literally
no prudence, there's no thought that is the sacrifice worth
it because the reality is, I mean, all the boats
going out, going in and out of Long Beach in
(04:29):
La Harbor produced more of this chemical than anything else.
So but the update really the two updates. The first
update is that yesterday the new United States Attorney for
the Southern District, Billy Aselli. You've talked about him on
(04:50):
the show because he's the only He's now going after
illegal immigration in La which is a new novelty. But
he sent a letter to the chairman of the AQ
and B Boy yesterday informing the Mamage a matter of fact,
i'll read it to you, deer Chair Delgado and governing
board members, the United States government is committed to the
removal of illegitimate impediments to the use of domestic energy resources,
(05:14):
including natural gas. And I'll skip through a bunch of
the legal stuff, and he says, to protect the interests
of the American people, the Attorney General has been directed
to take all appropriate action to stop enforcement of and
then it's these rules, and so he's made it very
clear that if they pass it today, his office is
(05:34):
prepared to take And now I'm reading again all steps
necessary to enforce federal law, including filing a civil action,
seeking any and all available relief, including injunctive relief, monetary damages,
and penalties. So the Trump administration has thrown down the
legal card, and I think it's having an impact. I
(05:54):
say that because I've been watching the meeting this morning
on my I'm watching it because no Almal people that
are listening to their show, to this show Patriots all
are not watching it. But I can tell you that
we went into the meeting. There's twelve people on this board,
one of whom there's actually thirteen, but Gavin Newsom's point
to his vacant and he hasn't filled it. So there
(06:17):
are twelve people, which means to stop a bad rule,
you need six. And we start with the four Republicans
out of twelve of them four two from San Bernardino
County and two from Orange County are Republicans. Now.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
I talked about one of them last hour, Janet Win,
and she was.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Super talking to Supervisor Win. Just Supervisor Win just spoke
and talked about the inconvenient truth of the cost of
this and how nobody's prepared to do this. She was
a very forceful speaker against it. We expect her and
the other three Republicans are already voting no. And of
course Holly Mitchell, Supervisor Mitchell is speaking right now about
(06:56):
what a wonderful idea this is. You know which is?
You know which is a joke.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
She's the one who allows the hundreds of r vs
to dump thousands of gallons of feces and human waste
onto the streets of her district, all the homeless people
that live in those RVs.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
But here's some good news. Before she spoke, Brenda Almos,
who's from the Paramount City Council, who has always voted
lockstep with her fellow Democrats. We got to her. He
announced that she's voting no. And so now we have five.
That means if one more person votes known there's a
couple we're looking at, then we will have stopped it
(07:40):
at least today, and then Gavin Newsom could appoint that
other person. But this is about a one step at
a time. So it's if we were on the air
two hours from now, which maybe we could be, I
might have a definitive answer for you. I'll certainly let
you know so you can let your listeners know.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Okay, so if you find something out, call us immediately.
We'll put you right on.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I will. I will definitely let you know. They're talking
right now. But we're having a real impact. I was
told that since we talked about this on the program,
they've had thousands of more emails come in. And I
know that I've had, you know, of my substack, which
is so does it matter?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Dot com?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Soodoesitmatter?
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Dot Com?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And I've had from your show, thousands of people come
in and I get notified every time they click the
button to send. So I know over a thousand emails
came in just through my site from being on your show,
and all of those emails matter, So you know, you know,
I encourage people to check it out, but we're going
to stay on it and As soon as there's an update,
(08:44):
I will call into the show and let you know.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
You know, all these people, most of them are local politicians,
and they represent people who can't afford any of this nonsense.
This is what makes me crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Well, I just watched the aforementioned prosor talk about how
we all represent individual cities or counties. But you know,
we have to look for the greater good of the region.
So shame on you, John that you don't have the
proper perspective about looking at for the greater good of
the region. So it's just the whole thing is just
(09:17):
absolutely nutty because these policies that they want to enact,
it's not wealthy people that can't afford a new electric
water heater ys. Those people are like, well it's inconvenient,
but okay, right, But it's the people she represents in
the parts of Los Angeles County that can least afford
extra expense at this particular time, and she is perfectly
(09:39):
comfortable saying, boom, your water here more expensive tomorrow, and
more and more expensive. It's the whole thing is just
completely nutty. The very very people who have the most
vested interest to oppose this policy are the ones that
are supporting in And it's because voters are asleep at
the switch and instead of electing somebody that cares about
(10:00):
their pocketbook, they're electing these upwardly mobile left wing lunatics
who's whose focus is on where are the environmental crazies?
And you know, you get you know, I always tell people, John,
and you you do too, You get who you vote for? Yes,
And I hope that people open up their their are
(10:20):
their eyes and the Holly Mitchell's of the world get
shown the door because they're just absolutely ridiculous what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
All Right, John Fleischman, thank you very much. So does
it matter? Is the substack? Right? So does itmatter? Dot Com?
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
So does itmatter?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Dot Com?
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Thanks you?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Straight there.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Okay, we'll talk to you if something happens, you let
us know first thing. Okay, you got it, you John,
all right, and we come back. We'll tell you about
the the immigration raids going on in downtown Los Angeles.
And there's been immigration raids in southern California all this week,
enraging people who don't think laws ought to be enforced.
It's a peculiar time we're living in.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
M six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Follow us at John co Belt Radio on social media
area go just too excited Today Ice agents. We're all
over southern California. They have been all over all week,
but they were in downtown La today. They were going
through the fashion district. And this is from the La Times.
(11:30):
By the way, all the coverage this week in the
La Times San Diego Union Tribune is all disapproving. It's
it's I'll give you an example. US Immigrations and Custom
Enforcement agents were carrying out a series of sweeps across
(11:50):
southern California on Friday morning, sparking fear and anxiety among
immigrant communities. The context of the fear and anxiety is
they're breaking the law. You see, and if you were
in a country illegally and you heard that the president
(12:12):
wasn't putting up with it anymore because eighty percent of
the public wanted it to stop and they wanted deportations. Yeah,
feel fear and anxiety. Why didn't you obail the law
and get out on your own? Then you knew what
you were doing when you came here. You made this choice.
(12:33):
This is the life you wanted. So now we're enforcing
the law like every other country does. This was no surprise.
Trump has campaigned on this for ten freaking years. He
didn't do enough of this in his first term. But
now they're serious and it's really happening, and everybody's going,
oh my god. And the terribly misleading way it gets covered.
(13:01):
La Times story about this nine year old boy in Torrance.
Headline is Torrance boy, age nine, detained by Ice for
playing deportation to Honduras. Community is outraged. What do they
leave out of the headline. He is being grabbed and
(13:21):
deported by himself. He and his father are being deported together. Okay,
so you can't even use the Trump is splitting up
families argument here. No, the family's being deported together. Community
is outraged. Who cares, They're outraged because the law is
(13:43):
being enforced. These people need to go to a classroom
and learn how it works in a civilized country. Their laws,
and we pay law enforcement to enforce those laws. If
that's not too redundant. And then it says here they
were taken into custody in downtown Los Angeles and transferred
(14:05):
to Texas. Parents with Torrance Elementary's PTA sent out a
letter asking residents to reach out to elected officials to
drop support for the boy. Well, you've got to go
through several paragraphs here one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
(14:27):
ten before they tell you the truth. The father, martyr
Garcia Benegas, arrived in the US on July tenth of
twenty twenty one with his son, but an immigration judge
ordered the father and son to be deported back to
Honduras on September one, twenty twenty two. So they have
(14:51):
been here illegally for two and a half years after
they were ordered deported. So the headline is, isn't boy
and his dad who defied deportation order rounded up in Torrents. No,
that's not in the headline. That didn't make the first
nine paragraphs of the story because this is the LA times.
(15:17):
They went through due process, right, What were they crying
about with that? With that wife beater guy, Oh you
didn't get due process? Well they're bringing him back and
it turns out he helped smuggle thousands of illegal aliens
into this country, gang members many of them. So if
(15:40):
you do the due process, they ignore it. If you
don't do the due process, the LA Times and these
other media outlets make a big stink. You want to
change the law, go change the law. But the law
says if you're found here illegally, you go to a judge.
Judge says you're deported. That means you have to go.
(16:02):
So they get ordered deported September one, twenty twenty two.
The dad, martyr Garcia Benegas appeals the decision to the
Board of Immigration Appeals August eleventh, twenty twenty three, so
he got almost an extra year here on appeal. The
appeal was dismissed. A judge set again, you gotta get out,
(16:25):
and again the dad and this nine year old boy
didn't leave the country even though he was ordered by
the immigration judge. Oh Jae. That's in paragraph eleven of
the La Times. Paragraph eleven, you find out they have
been ordered deported twice. Well, then they were upset. The
(16:51):
Times writers, who is this I don't even know, got
to print out without their names. Heavily armed Ice and
Homeland Security investigated. Heavily armed Ice and Homeland Security agents
executed search warrants at two restaurants in a San Diego neighborhood,
(17:11):
and I guess looking for the father and the reason
they're heavily armed. You saw go watch the video tonight
on the news where there were dozens and dozens of
people interfering with the ice raid, throwing things at the
ICE officers, hanging off the bearcats as they were rolling
(17:34):
down the downtown streets. They were getting in the way
of the bearcats with scooters and bicycles. They were shouting
and jeering, throwing things. That's why they're heavily armed because
whatever's living in that neighborhood, whether it's Americans or other
(17:55):
illegal aliens, they're all acting like a bunch of animals,
and they're not letting WA enforcement do what we pay
them to do, what the law says. Again, if you
don't like it, there are about two hundred other countries.
Why don't you go there illegally and see what happens.
I have a suggestion in countries try China and Russia.
Why don't you go there illegally, see what the reception is.
(18:20):
See if they give you years and years? Well, in fact,
why don't you violate a deportation order twice in Russia
and then you can send us a postcard from the
prison in Siberia. I've realized the education system has completely collapsed.
(18:40):
You have the progressive mind virus has taken over so
much of the country. People can't recognize the basics that
we used to know when we were three years old.
There's a set of laws and then we pay law
enforcement in the government to enforce them, and you have
to obey and respect the laws and the enforcement. That's
(19:02):
the way it always worked back in more rational times.
But now we got like whole generations who's never seen
the law enforced before. Right. They see people stealing almost
one thousand dollars from the local target or cvs. They
see people openly selling drugs and guns on the street,
people living in tents, and they think, well, you know
(19:26):
it doesn't it's out of Friday, your Saturday night. You
have these road races going on. Nothing's enforced. So when
you see enforcement, it's like, what's that That's wrong. I'm outraged.
He's six years old. I'm outraged. All right. We got
(19:48):
more on this coming up with Michael Monks from KFI News.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Round from one until four and then after four clock.
John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. By
the way, I just wanted to mention that the two
writers for the La Times who took eleven paragraphs to
admit that the Torrens point his dad, who were getting deported,
Nathan Solis and Ruben Vivez, took them eleven paragraphs to
mention that they had been officially deported by a judge
(20:20):
twice and they were still here. And that's why Ice
took them away this week and tore it so Nathan
Solis and Ruben Vivez, instead of putting that in the
first paragraph, they put it in the eleventh paragraph. All right,
now on to a real reporter, Michael Monks caf I News.
And he never buries the lead. He never buries the
main point of the story. And actually, you have a
lot to cover because just all kinds of nutty stuff
(20:42):
is happening. Let's start first. Topic number one is the
immigration raids in downtown LA with Ice. I watched some
of the coverage on TV.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
The scenes unfolding were pretty dramatic, and we can see
that the federal Immigration enforcement officials are really not messing around.
They're not afraid of Los Angeles. They are going to
come in and do the work that they feel that
they are empowered to do that the Trump administration wants
to see happen. It started early this morning. The first
thing we heard about was at the Home Depot store
on Wilshire in Westlake that.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Some guys had been picked up. Now, I'm in that
area a lot.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
There's a pandem Express there that I frequent every week,
and you do see guys kind of hanging out in
the parking lot, probably looking for day laborer work. And
so this was the first site that was hit this morning. Okay,
so we get some reports about that, we put it
in the news. But then a bigger scene unfolded down
the road in the Fashion district in Los Angeles outside
of a clothing store called Ambiance. They make or sell
(21:36):
clothes inside this building, and that's what the scene got
a little hairy because protesters showed up. They were blocking
Ice enforcement agents either from leaving or getting into the
building at one point. And then you saw some military
tactical guys showing up in some very serious equipment. So
this scene started to escalate pretty quickly with some folks
who were antagonizing the federal officials.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
We did see it.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
About two dozen different guys brought out and detained in
that particular raid. And we also have reports now that
a warehouse connected to that same company in South LA
has been visited by federal officials as well.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yes, this for that particular raid.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
We've been told that there were search warrants for illegal
immigration and people who are harboring illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
And they're driving around these bearcats, yeah, with like a
dozen ICE agents hanging off the side, and they're dressed
in full camouflage. It looked like they have very serious
weapons they're holding. I'm not a gun guy, so I
don't know how to identify them.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
But you saw some protesters on scooters and I don't
think the scooter's going to hold up to some of
the equipment that we saw rolling into the fashion district.
In fact, the tactics used by the federal officials today
did not go unnoticed by city councilmen. Unices Hernandez and
if we can, I've got something from today's city council
meeting that she said today she's a gym at least.
Speaker 5 (22:53):
A sanctuary city, and we've made it clear that we
will not cooperate and use our resources for ice in
federal immigration enforcement. But that doesn't stop them from showing up.
And now we're seeing their tactics quickly escalate. They're swooping
and fast without warning and leaving justice quickly. They don't
hang around because they know we mobilize, Our resistance is working,
and that's exactly why they have elevated their approach and
(23:13):
changing their approach colleagues. Angelino's I'm asking you to get ready.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
So if I get ready, she means she's got websites,
You've got different forms to know your rights and to
know what to do, and to let other people know
what's happening when it's happening.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
That's how they're able to get protests. She doesn't want
American law to be enforced. Like, what who does she represent?
Did she represent American citizens?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Here?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Is she in an American city?
Speaker 4 (23:35):
All council members voted in favor of that sanctuary city status,
all of them, And that is to suggest that they
don't want any city resources being used in these these
federal immigration raids. Even the LAPD came out today and
said we're not involved in this. You know they did
and they weren't. They don't provide any protection that's right.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
So if ICE agents get killed, the LAPD has no interest.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Now that that would be different because that would then
be a crime. But they they won't help, will not
assist in the enforcement efforts unless there is some sort
of court order.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
How about some an escort just to intimidate the protesters
because eventually somebody is going to take a shot at
It was.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
An interesting scene as you saw the federal officials back
out of the Fashion district very slowly in those massive
pieces of military equipment bear cats, Yeah, exactly, and then
the then you saw some LAPD cruisers pull in, I
guess to help disperse the remainder of that scene.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
That's just just just outrageous that the LAPD is not
helping protect the ICE, as it's been their policy since
late seventies. Yeah. Well, on a change, we never had
a legal immigration issues like we do now, and we
never had a president actually follow through on his deportation promises.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Second thing, God, I don't know where to go. Well,
we were at the City City of All today and
then Pride Month and they had a drag show city council. Right, Yes,
with all that's going going on here, you got a
near riot happening downtown LA last night. Looked the palisades
and still burned down.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
We've talked before about this council's inability to read the room,
you know, and and engauge the optics of some of
the drag show they did. Now it is Pride month
and and LA also celebrates that, and they raise a
flag outside the city building.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You know, they're going to govern the city. If they
want to have a drag party at night, all the
council people can enjoy themselves however they want. But a
drag show in the middle of the business day.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Yeah, if Eric has it, I've got a little treat
for you, John. This was inside the chambership at City
Hall today.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Do honor to stand before you, not just as a
council member, but as the only openly queer member of councils.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
This is Isabel Herado, the only.
Speaker 5 (25:52):
Openly so many jokes that you can put, it's an
honor to serve on his body.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
So she is, she identifies as the only openly queer
member of city council.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And you know she invited ignorant. I'm trying. It's hard.
What does that mean? I gotta tell you that people
used to be gay, and now queer is something else.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
It's been how do you say, reclaimed, I see by
folks who prefer to use that term. But it's also
all encompassing, so that might not even mean, for example,
that she's what we might have referred to in the
past as a lesbian.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It means a lot of things that's supposed to be
left open to my imagination.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
I don't I would not encourage you to explore that
imagination too.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Deeply, but yes, it could be.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
It's it's it's quite quite elaborate, and I do have.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
It's probably a good idea.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Yeah, I do have just one last snack for you
here on this Friday. And this was a SoundBite that
really I guess I'm I'm violating my own integrity here
because this really isn't the news part of this story.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
This was just for you. This is not the news
of the now.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
So, like you know, a big, big deal this La
Metro station opening up at Lax. This is a significant
connector for folks. You no longer have to have a
car to get to Lax. They've got this thing open.
We've got that in the news today. I'll have that
for you guys, but this is three of your favorite people,
all mentioned in one sort of fell swoop, So I
thought we got to get this to Cole Belt, okay,
And I do have.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
To say this is a very very special moment for me.
One welcoming our former Mayor GARCETI back to Los Angeles
first time. I saying, stand up, Mayor Garcetti, so we
can congratulate you and welcome haiate you, and I wanted
to congratulate you also because you led the efforts with
(27:47):
Measure M that was dedicated to this iconic station. I
did hear a little story about how it was going
to be a lot different, and then you came in
and said, no, no, no, it has to be an
iconic destination. And then's former Mayor Antonio via Ragosa, you stand,
we need to acknowledge you. So for me, it's a
(28:11):
special moment because I think this is a beautiful example
of passing the baton. The baton that started with Mayor
via Ragosa, who passed it to Mayor Garcetti, who passed
it to me. And I have the wonderful honor of
being involved in the implementation and carrying through your great work.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
So thank you.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Thank you very much for your leadership.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Of this city.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
There you go, that's the last twenty years of government.
That's your that's twenty years of your show. Let's go
back in time to Los Angeles two thousand and five
as that baton was being passed. Oh you've been here, yes,
and I've watched the place just literally go up in
flames and straight to hell. Well that's all I got
for you, Joseph. That is way too much. That was
a good snack. I felt like blood pressure rising. Maybe
(28:57):
you go back to your imagination at city Hall. I
think I'd rather do that. My head was about to
pop off there, all right, Michael Monks. KFI News always
a pleasure and also KFI Entertainment.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Coming up after three o'clock. A particularly disgusting day in
court in New York with the p Diddy trial and
one of his ex girlfriends, Jane, describing what she went through.
We're gonna have Laura Engel from News Nation coming on.
You know, sex trafficking charges, racketeering, conspiracy, transportation to engage
(29:37):
in prostitution. He could get life in prison. It centers
around the Freak Offs where he had all his friends
and acquaintances come over and these elaborate sex rituals and
a lot of the girls were forced into it, so
the prosecution says, and his ex girlfriend claims she suffered
from constant pain and urinary tract infections because the the
(30:00):
Freak Offs.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
That was.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
That was the headline. And anyway, Lori Engle is gonna
come out at three o'clock to explain this because you
know eventually there's going to be a big, big verdict
there and oh that'll be quite a sensation. Now we
are still recovering here. If you heard that clip that
Michael Monks played, we had Karen Bass, who's apparently oblivious
(30:21):
to all the carnage in Los Angeles. She was holding
a celebratory event today because they're opening up a metro
station near lax which is supposed to be pivotal. It's
not worth explaining because who cares. I'm not getting on
a train to the airport no matter what, So I
don't care what they've built there and how much they spent.
(30:43):
But she actually introduced Garcetti and via Gosa, and I'm thinking,
my god, that's the last twenty years of our life
in Los Angeles, Viara, Gosa, Garcetti and Bass and everybody's
cheering and screaming and basses all wound up. It's like,
what's wrong with you? The palisade is still gone? And
these are the mayors who defunded the fire department half
(31:08):
a fire department. Big reason why so much of the
palisades burned is we had very little of a fire
department and very little preparation. And now it's June and
she's standing and cheering and carrying on, and she's got
that bozo Garcetti who unleashed the plague of homeless people
(31:30):
on the city. They should not be allowed in public,
They should not be allowed in the country. I wish
Trump's ice soldiers had raided this event. Wouldn't you like
to see all three of them loaded in the back
of a bear cat and taken to a taken to
a transfer facility in Texas? Is there any way we
(31:51):
could have Bass, Verra, Goosa and Garcetti, especially Garcetti had
wanted to depart twice. They the illegal aliens deported today
didn't do a tiny fraction of the damage to La
that these three stooges dead, these three clowns. How did
gar Citi get rehabilitated? They let him back in the country.
(32:14):
He was in India. He was prancing around and dancing,
waving his arms in the air like this silly, stupid fool.
Last I saw him, that is the last I saw him,
and that was last November. So what's he doing now?
Has he has any idea how he fed up this
city and then bast doubled down on it and now
(32:34):
they're celebrating that they're oping up a train station. But oh,
I was actually well, we were playing that clip Michael
was sitting in here. I felt like a surge of anger.
I felt my head started to hurt. I felt my
neck muscles tightened. I felt my face swell as my
(32:55):
blood pressure went up.
Speaker 7 (32:57):
I think you need to get all three in here
and have a round table discussion.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
A round table discussion. Well, actually have kind of a
round table and we do. Yeah, it's like two thirds
of a round table. Oh God, and nobody there's gonna
be all sorts of coverage tonight on the news. Nobody
is going to do a news story. How nearly everybody
in the Palace ades still can't get a permit process
(33:23):
so they can rebuild their house. Nobody's explained what caused
the fire, has that right? Nobody explained that.
Speaker 7 (33:28):
No, No, it's still possibility of the fireworks.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Yeah, still under investigation. That's all forgotten.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
Yeah, the fires are forgotten.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
They are. And Bass has totally botched up the homeless situation.
There's a big surprise, and she just got a break
and that she doesn't have to testify in the lawsuit
against her over botching up and wasting the money in
that civil trial about homelessness, so she doesn't have to
answer to that. She's blocked an audit of Inside Safe.
(34:02):
That Inside Safe things total phony, blowny nonsense, made up numbers.
Oh my, which view of Grosa audio the DNC one,
Oh oh oh yeah, all right, but he gave us
a little shout out, yeah play via Gosa.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Our old friends, mild friend Antonio via Ragosa.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
And Johnny Ken's old friends. Of course. Yes, I like
I told you just now. They need to write you
a check for all you've done for them. Tell to
write a check to my governor's race.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
You know what, I bet they will, just so that
they have fodder for well Ken's gone now, but just
so John has fodder for another four years.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Another When was that clip? I never heard that. That
was the DNC.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
Yeah, now during the Gary and Janis you remember I
said off the air last year?
Speaker 1 (34:57):
Yes, oh I yes, I didn't realize that was that
was last year. I was thinking of another convention. Oh no, kidding.
Oh so he brought us up last year. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (35:07):
Oh well, now he wants to be friends, so you
could probably get him on the show because he's running
for government.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
I just said I wanted him deported, so he probably
didn't hear I do want him on the show. Well, now, okay,
all right, because all right, this is terrible, but I
mean if it if it ends up like because I
don't know if any of the Republicans are going to
get into the top two. Right, there's Chad Bianco running
the sheriff, and there's also Steve Hilton, the Fox commentator,
(35:36):
and and that's it and not big ray name recognition
yet for these guys. So you can get too top
top two Democrats in the primary. What if it's Viaa
Gosa and Kamala Harris, have them both on together. Viasa
is a genius compared to Kamala Harris, have them debate
one another. Yeah, you'll be the moderator, like you don
(36:04):
might come to that. All right, wait a nightmare. Laura
Ingle's coming up next because she's gonna have all the
fascinating details of the Diddy trial. You know, we're getting
closer and closer to the end. And there was a
witness who wasn't a real name, Jane, one of her
his ex girlfriends or whatever these women are, and she
(36:27):
described in excruciating detail what these freak offs were about,
forced paid sexual encounters and how Comb's controlled her life.
Very similar to Cassie Venture, his girlfriend, the one that
he beat up on that video in the hotel. This
Jane had a similar story. So Laura Ingle will be
(36:49):
is gonna come on with that? And we got two
runs in the Moistline too. Next hour, Big deal coming up,
Deborah Mark a big deal. Oh, thank you, thank You's
