Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four and then
after four o'clock John Cobel Show on demand on the
iHeart app. Among the stuff we're going to be covering
later in the hour. Tom Homan went on Fox last
night and they're getting close to finding who has been
leaking information in various cities about ICE's raids to deport
(00:27):
criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
There's been a.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Lot of that going on the raid and Aurora was
short circuited in Colorado. They're going after the trend dear
Ragua gang members and then some local media released the tails.
In San Francisco, the FCC is doing an investigation for
an all news station up there, KCBS. They went into
detail about what streets the ICE agents were going to be,
(00:53):
the make and model and color of their cars. I
mean that that shouldn't be legal, but you know, Sam Francisco,
you go to work for a new station, there's gonna
be a lot of woacads and there's there's leakers inside ICE,
I guess inside the Trump administration, and uh, they're they're
giving warnings in advance here here, the La Times had
(01:13):
had some coverage that a big raid was being planned
in La very soon. So Holman is is furious. Uh,
and they think they're closing in on the leak or
will play some of those clips coming up?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Now, let's get to.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
This.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
This uh is fascinating. You know, you never know when
Trump if he's just blowing out an idea, just a
random idea that hits him, or if he's if he's
got if he just wants to entertain people. Trump is
insisting that the US has the authority to take Gaza,
(01:53):
and he wants the Palestinians forced out and sent to Jordan.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
In Egypt, which wants no part of this.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Trump is looking at this to completely rebuild the site
since it's been mostly destroyed. We're going to talk now
with the Lieutenant General Richard Newton, retired Air Force and
he contributes to News Nation as a senior national security contributor.
Let's get Richard Newton on. Lieutenant General Newton, how are you.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Hey, John, Great to be with you, a good afternoon,
and again lost the tea up here.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, first of all, can he do it?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Or is he trying to turn this into a reality somehow.
Is there any legal basis for the US going in there,
and assuming I don't know, conservatorship of Gaza, if not
outright ownership, I mean, how does this work?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well, I tell a legal basis was the election in November.
And I'll guarantee if President Trump is deadly serious about this.
You know, this announcement to take over Gaza is it's
an extraordinary paradigm shift. And you know, frankly, we've been
dealing with the hypocrisy of almost complete hypocrisy in Gaza,
(03:08):
the region, this whole idea of a two state solution
for years. And on the other hand, you have Iran
and its proxy's really seeking to destroy Israel since nineteen
seventy nine. And so what presidents come up with is
a certainly a much different approach. As I mentioned, what
(03:29):
I would call a significant paradigm shift and so forth.
So there's you know, he's obviously shifting the narrative. I
believe he has a high ground here in terms of
there's a lot of things that have not worked John,
and this is you know, the idea of quote either
ownership or developing Gaza is. You know, it's certainly the
(03:54):
current force as you're in the Mid East, but it
surely will be a catalyst for a lot of new ideas, frankly, John,
that I think are much needed.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
How do you practically remove there's what two million Palestinians
that I don't know how many still live there after
all the bombing.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, there's anywhere between one point eight million and two million,
as you allude to. And if you recall a couple
of weeks or so ago, you know, he made a
pronouncement also of seeking Jordan, seeking Egypt, other Arab nations
to take the Palestinian, the non militant Palestinians, the refugees
(04:34):
out of Gaza because it has indeed been turned into rubble.
They refused to do so so far. In fact, King
abdill of the Second, who by the way, is a
very strong ally and frankly, in my estimation, a very
effective leader in Jordan, who was in the Oval office
earlier this week and really tried to have some you know,
(04:57):
conversation obviously with the President. He implored King Abdullah and
others to take the Palestinians, whether or not that happens,
and there's a lot of challenges inside the nation of
Jordan and maybe perhaps Israel as well. But if this
is gonna work, you're gonna have to displace the Palestinians,
and that's been very difficult to do. Look, this is
(05:17):
this is an this is a very hard idea. It's
a big idea, but it's a very hard idea. But
it's going to start somewhere. And if you're going to
change the narrative, you're going to change the plight of
the Palestinian people. You're going to have to give them
an opportunity to uh to live elsewhere while the rebuilding
of Gaza takes place.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
From what I understand, the history of the Palestinians is
when whenever another country takes them in, you end up
with a lot of trouble. There's just too many, too
many terrorist types, there's too many unstable elements, and you
end up it's more trouble than it's worth. You end
up with some of the some of the people, some
of the Palestinians want to overthrow whatever government they're visiting,
(06:01):
you know, whether it's Jordan or Lebanon or wherever. They've
been kicked out of a lot of the neighboring countries
over the decades it has.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
That's a fair point. It's also a tightrope for say,
King Abdulah in Jordan to say, you know, host the
million or so of the Palestinian people, because you have
to balance what he has sought, peace with Israel, along
with supporting the United States, along with nearly one billion
dollars of aid that the United States has poured into Jordan.
(06:32):
But at the same time, he himself has a rested population,
and a very large component of that Palestinian Jordan happened
to be displaced Palestinians in of itself. So I'm not
telling you this is easy. In fact, this is extraordinarily difficult.
But I can tell you that whatever we've been trying
to do up to this point in the last several
decade has not worked. So I think we ought to
(06:54):
give present the opportunity in the lane here as I mentioned,
to change the narrative and significant paradigm shift here in
the vidis I do.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I wonder what Trump could offer these these countries to
get them to do it. I mean, there's got to
be something in it for them not to just take
in one hundreds of thousands of people who don't want
to be there and could be really disruptive. I mean,
those populations aren't going to want them either. So any
leader that does this is going to get blowback from
his own people.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So what's there for?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, what's the current that that Trump could offer these
these uh these leaders.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Well, one of the care would be a rejuvenated security
UH guarantees that would you know, provide the United States
would provide UH security for UH. You know, could be
border security, other things. Other military aid, could provide some
economic aid called jobs. UH could put first priority for
(07:49):
these participating nations. In an academic conversation I'm having with you,
say a lot of the workforce comes out of Egypt
or Jordan or other places, and give them first priority
for jobs for the reconstruction in Gaza itself. So there
are some some avenues approach. He could also approach Saudi Arabia,
which is the richest Arab nation in the region, and
(08:11):
provide them a herit for say trade and oil you know,
negotiations and so forth, and certainly increased military aid to
Saudi Arabia to provide you know, that on ramp for
them to accept politically diplomatically. This whole idea of moving
(08:33):
the displaced gods and citizens in this case, in order
to rebuild. The other aspect of this is this isn't
a three to five year deal, however, John, this is
this is ten to fifteen years in the making. So
it's going to have to have those guarantees are gonna
have to be solidly in place because it's going to
transcend not only a Trump administration, but several administrations thereafter.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, I just look it in the Wall Street Journal.
They had a story about this today and Trump was
sitting next to King Abdullah of Jordan and said, flat out,
there's nothing to buy. We will have Gaza. We're going
to take it. Asked under what authority he would have
to take it, he says the United States authority, and
the discussion it was.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Very clear about that. And again and he appreciates the
fact that King Abdullah is in a tough position, as
you and I mentioned just a few minutes or so ago,
from his own political standpoint. You know, just for the record,
you know, King of Dullah's great grandfather was actually assassinated
by a Palestinian in nineteen fifty one. So there's a
long history of unrest or potential unrest. But to King
(09:39):
Abdullah's credit. I've been to Jordan, I've been with our
troops there. It's a solid nation. They solidly behind the
United States. Regardless of the administration. It isn't within US
national security interest for Jordan to excel in this case.
And that's why you've got the first air bleader to
visit the Oval Office under Trump, Andministration number two happens
(10:01):
to be the King of Jordan. It's not lost on that.
So the other I'll close on my final point here
is that the fact that there's a lot of it's
not just economics, but there's other aspects of US national
security of play here. There's geopolitical, there's diplomatic, there's certainly military,
and there's economic and financial here. But the bottom line
is that if we're going to restore any type of
(10:24):
restoration to Gazam, that helps with US national security, it
helps with the Mid East, but all roads, My bottom
line is, however, all roads lead back to Tehran and
the key area there is that they cannot get their
hands on a nuclear weapon, nor they continue to put
forth hate towards Israel, condemning Israel as well as the
(10:46):
third piece of this is we've got to stop them
from supporting their proxies to go do harm not only
to Israel, but to the United States and our US
nation security interest overseas. So but all roads lead back
to Kylan.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
John all right, thank you for coming on, Lieutenant General
Richard Newton, retired Air Force general, and the idea of
US going in and just taking Gaza because we can't
and then what would we do with it?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Thanks very much, my pleasure, great being with you. John.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
All right, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from
kf I am sixty.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
We're just talking with let me get his name here.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The Lieutenant General Richard Newton, who was telling us the
feasibility Trump doesn't doesn't give up on this.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
He did.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
This was not a throwaway. I mean, it's it's probably
a grand negotiating ploy. But he he had a press
conference and he sat next to the King of Jordan
and he, uh, He's just said we're we're gonna take
over Gaza. And somebody asked, well, under what authority goes
(11:58):
under the authority of the United States of America and
the and King of Abdullah of Jordan was sitting right
next to him.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
There.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Now, contrast this with recent administrations such as the Biden administration.
Because one thing that that Elon Musk and his crowd
has discovered is the United States Agency for International Development USAID.
(12:33):
They've been making the headlines a lot in the last week,
and it turns out they had a forty billion dollar
budget for foreign aid and probably by their own admission,
ninety percent of the money was not going to citizens
of these poor, impoverished, war torn countries.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It looks like the USAID in the State Department spent
one hundred and sixty four million dollars on something called
the Middle East Form, the Middle East Forum. Well, let
me reverse that. The Middle East Forum did a study
of the money that USAID was handing out, and they're
(13:17):
the investigators the Middle East Form, and it turns out
that USAID was giving more than nine hundred thousand dollars
to a terror charity.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Based in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It was a non governmental organization an NNGO, which advertised
itself as an organization that works to build a civil
society on the Gaza Strip. That you might laugh at that, well,
they were actually a terror charity. They got nine hundred
thousand dollars from the US government. The funding began in
(13:52):
twenty sixteen, and they were getting money right up till
the day the Hamas attacked Israel. It was founded in
two thousand and seven after Hamas took over the Gaza Strip,
and Beadare operates in close cooperation with the Hamas regime.
(14:13):
It's twenty twenty one report notes coordination and meetings with
all of Hamas's cabinet officials in various ministries. The funds
were gotten through other charities such as Catholic Relief Services.
So what I'm saying here is our tax money, your
(14:34):
tax money, we have been financing these terror groups who
present themselves as peaceful organizations trying to make life better
for the poor people stuck in a warzone. But actually
the money was going to Hamas. The report found that
(14:55):
USAID approved a twelve and a half million dollar grant
to another agency called the American Near East Refugee Agency.
You see, you put the word refugee in there, and
people go, oh, but we want to help refugees. It's
not their fault that their countries are torn up by war. Well,
except it's not a refugee agency. It's a partner of Hamas.
(15:20):
It says that staffers with this agency have repeatedly and
publicly posted violent ideas calling on God to erase the Jews,
expressing support for the brave Hamas prisoners in the Israeli jails,
and described October seventh as a beautiful morning.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
USAID won't even say how much they give.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Other organizations such as Unlimited Friends Association. You got to
love the names of these places, Unlimited Friends, which the
head of the charity promised to cleanse their land of
impure Jews, impure Jews. And this report goes on and
(16:09):
on and on, so our tax see if you see people,
especially like democratic politicians. I heard and saw so many
screaming meltdowns, officials screaming f Trump. They're having a total
emotional breakdown. This is the stuff that they're fighting against.
(16:35):
Terrorist organizations who were stealing US taxpayers money with phony,
phony fronts claiming that they were helping refugees. And I'm
sure people with obviously people within these agencies knew they
were phony fronts. We were paying people on our own
agencies who wanted the Jews eradicated from the Middle East.
(16:58):
All right, you got more coming up? Oh, we're going
to talk about Tom Holman. Tom Holman going on Fox
News and he has had it with the leaks getting
in the way of his raids. And we'll play some
clips of They're gonna they I think they found the
person or the people who have been sabotaging the raids
with premature leaks.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty oh.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I forgot to mention the Moistline.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yes, the Moistline is back this week eight seven seven
Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six, usually
talkback feature on the iew art iHeart Radio app. I
think it's becoming clear that the enemy is is the
government itself, the government workers who are responding so angrily
to Trump and trying to block their dismissals and they're
(17:50):
going to court or they're leaking information that that is
really the center. I mean, he is smoking out just
how kurfat and corrupt and and stupid and useless many
of the government workers are. I mean, instead of going
along with the program like there's there's a there's a
new regime, they've got a new philosophy, and I guess
(18:12):
They're used to sitting around on their fat asses at
home in their fuzzy slippers and bathrobes, and now Trump
has said, no, you got to get dressed, and you
got to come to work, and you've actually got to
do work, and we're going to decide whether your job
is relevant or not, we're useful or not. And uh,
you know there they should take the buyouts. Anybody who's
(18:33):
gotten a buyout offer eight months with pay and benefits,
they got to take it because, uh, your life is
going to be miserable anyway. You're gonna lose your job eventually.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Take the money now and then go take these charming
work habits to the private sector and see how far
it takes you. One of the enemies in the government
is uh people a person or people inside ice inside
the Trump adminished and they're calling up the media. They've
done it in Aurora, Colorado, in San Francisco and in
la among other places, and they're leaking information about the
(19:09):
ice rates. Now, there can't be that many people aware
that an ice rate is coming to a town. And
Tom Holman, the borders are who we're supposed to have
on within the next week or so, he's going to
come on our show. He went on Fox last night
with Hannity and was questioned about where are the leaks coming.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
From, Tom, Where are these leaks coming from?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Well, look where think it's coming from? Inside?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
And we know the first week of Aurora is under
current investigation. We think we identify that person under investigation
right now. The California League Secretary of NOME, she's correct.
Some of the information we're receiving tensive lead toward the FBI.
But I talked to Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
(19:54):
They've opened up a criminal investigation and they have promised
that not only this person will lose their job and
lose your pension, they're gonna go to jail. They're gonna
criminally prosecute. So we're all over it. We got the
dhs IG investigating the first one. Have pretty idea what happened,
can't share lots of it is under investigation, but the
IGS opened up a criminal investigation on the Secondhere we're
(20:15):
selling a strong message. It's just not you know, given
the bad guys that heads up so they can escape apprehension.
Right we're arresting and you know, given you know Venzuela
gang heads up, so we can't arrest them. You're putting
officers lives at risk. It's only a matter of time.
We walk into a place where there's gonna be a
bad guy doesn't care. He's going to be sitting and
wait for the officers show up and ambush them.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
This is not a game.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
So DHS and DJ are connected at hip to hold
these people responsible in a criminal fashion.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
So early indications are this is coming from our own FBI.
How certain are you of.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
That information leading to that? Again, I'll let I'll let
the Department of Justice do their own investigation. But again
I talked to the Deputy Tourney General this week and
they've opened up a criminal investigation. He thinks the information
is coming from there also, So we'll let an invigation
investigation play out.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
But some of the leads point that way.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Great, we've got woke, progressive FBI agents or other FBI
personnel leaking sensitive details about ICE raids, and Holman's right.
Eventually some ICE officials officers are going to get killed.
There's gonna they're gonna stage in, ambush and and and
murder these guys, which shows you that these these woke
progressive jackasses. They hate this country, they hate our way
(21:31):
of life.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And this is this is this is treason.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
The when you're talking about MS thirteen gang members, Trendy
Iraguo gang members, people out of Venezuelan prisons, this is like,
this is warfare here. These are the worst people from
these societies and they've been allowed to flourish here. Now,
why do you think that is because they want the chaos.
(21:58):
These progressives who have embedded themselves in the government, embedded
themselves in the FBI, they want the chaos, They want
the violence. They don't care about the collateral damage. They
don't care if young women are raped and brutalized and
murdered like Lake and Riley. They have a larger cause,
and that is the dismantling of capitalist America, of our
(22:21):
democratic way of life. And they've done a good job
of infiltrating government. And that's what Holman and Musk and
Trump are doing is smoking these guys out Here is
Hannity asking about these eighty six thousand IRS agents who
might be going down to the border to help.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Out the idea of you know, not hiring these eighty
eight thousand IRS agents to go after you know, waile
abiding taxpayers and bringing them to the border. How helpful
would that be in your mission?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
So we'll put them to work for the law enforcement officers.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
We are certainly putting work and helping secure some of
these at large operations. They don't have an immigration authority,
but they can certainly cover back door, they can certainly transport,
they can certainly help process the non criminal IRS agent.
They can help us process and do some intelligence and
wrap around infrastructure planning.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
We'll take them.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
We can use all the help we can get because
this is a big operation, So I hope we get
some of them. I think it's a President and Trust
made it very clear this is all a government approach
because this is the nest. This is a national security
vulnerability or open border and having all these two over
two million known guideways. You and I talked about some
lot sean help us find these people who paid more
(23:36):
to get away over two men. We know who they are,
where they came from, why they're here. But we need
to find those folks that We'll take every man and
woman available to come.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
You believe the mess that was left behind by Biden Kamala,
this is a gigantic mess, thousands and thousands and millions
of illegal aliens, many of them violent criminals, and now
you have these progress By the way, there's no difference
between the progressive the FBI leaking out ICE raid information
(24:04):
and what Karen Bass's opinion is here in LA because
she has pledged absolutely no cooperation with ICE. She has
declared LA a sanctuary city, which means that rather than
have law enforcement turn over illegal aliens that they arrest
and detain instead of turning over to the Feds. Now
(24:26):
these ICE agents have to go out into the neighborhoods
and risk getting ambushed, risk getting murdered. So the result
is is that Karen Bass is in one hundred percent
agreement with the FBI agents who are acting like traders
and endangering the lives of ICE law enforcement. You know,
(24:48):
she walks around with that silly smile on her face,
although not lately for the last month, her politics are indistinguishable.
It is the same philosophy. Here's one more cut. Hannity
asking Tom Holman how quickly we can find all these
illegal aliens, and Holman says, well, it's a sanctuary city.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Is getting in the way, This is not an easy
lift to begin with, and you've expressed confidence that you'll
find them all, and the question is how quickly do
you think we can find them all?
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Well, Sanctuary cities now they're putting up heavy roadblock possible
and right than the rest of the bad guy in
account at gail takes one agent arrested bad guy when
they gets arrested in putting account in jail, we got
to send a whole team to the neighborhood. So it's
going to be it's very difficult sanctuarous cities, but we're
gonna keep coming. What are we doing about sanctuous cities.
I'm going to double a man part in those sanctuous cities.
Sanctuary cities if we can't get him in their homes,
(25:40):
will get him a place for amployment. We're going to
have large scale of work site enforcement operation. So we're
going to send more resource. We're not going to stop,
We're going to keep coming. We're going to keep coming more.
We're going to increase the tieting in those cities. We're
gonna give full steam ahead on sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities
have we come in the priority why because of protection
they're protecting public safety, threasts and national security threats. So
(26:03):
we're gonna double manpower, We're gonna double operations, We're gonna
double targeting. We're coming full more and then not gonna
stop us. I'm taking this seriously. I don't sleep well
at night because I'm afraid of the people are walking
the streets here every day because sanctuarious cities to protect them.
Sanctuary cities are sanctuary for criminals bottom line. So we're
gonna we're gonna do everything we can to find them,
(26:24):
regardless of what it takes. We got a strong President
of White House has given us all authority we need.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
We're coming criminals, gang members, terrorists. That's who Garon Bass
is protecting. Who's she endangering? Ice agents, police officers. That
that smile is a cover for a lot of a
lot of woke, fanatical progressive beliefs. She's destructive and damaging.
You don't think she's destructive, go take a look at
(26:50):
the palisades. We're coming up.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
We are on from one until four and after four o'clock.
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app We've
got more funny stuff that the government spends money on.
We'll get to that right after three o'clock. We'll tell
you the story about one of the one of the
more famous terrorists who was member of Alcata and he
(27:25):
got his college education paid for by US tax bears.
Tell you that story coming up. This is actually my
favorite Trump executive order. All right, there's been hundreds of them.
This is number one. He's signing an executive order that
ends the Biden administration's ruling on banning plastic straws.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
I hate, I absolutely hate those paper straws.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
I've got to.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Say, well, you're on the side of the president. I
will be signing executive See if I was president, this
would have been my first executive order. First, my first one, yes,
is said to end the ban on plastic straws. He wrote,
I will be signing an executive order ending the ridiculous
Biden push for paper straws, which don't work.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
They don't there It is true.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
I had a smoothie a few weeks ago and I
had one of those paper straws.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Oh my gosh, I got I got mad in a
restaurant in Santa Monica a few years ago when they
switched to the paper straw mandate and they gave this
place had really really bad paper straws and you just
stick them in your mouth once for about eight seconds
and they disintegrated like it was cotton candy. And I
(28:43):
went up to the woman behind the counter, one of
these bad attitude women, and I said, these don't work. Well,
you know that's the rule in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
They don't work. Well that you know, that's the ordinance
that was bad. They don't work.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
You know, well, what were you expecting to do?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
John?
Speaker 9 (29:01):
Here, I have a secret stash plastic for you.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I just wanted her to annoy her, you know, she she,
she kept changing the subject subject was they don't work?
Speaker 9 (29:13):
But the turtle?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh, for God's sakes, was it a turtle?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Wasn't it a turtle?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
See turtle? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
See turtle?
Speaker 8 (29:20):
Didn't I think pastathon one year? I think I didn't.
I I got you some kind of costume and you
had to put a strop your nose or something.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Did I do that?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:31):
Gosh? When was that? It was your?
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I had Yeah, I remember the costume. I think I
still have it at home.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Yeah, there was a put it.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
It was green and yellow. Sometimes I want to be
a turtle. I get in the mood.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yes, And the thing is that was the only turtle
that ever happened to. But there was a photograph and
some nine year old who's probably twenty five now, because
this this was going back a few years. Uh he
he started, you know, through the internet, a whole nationwide
movement to bamp plastic straws, and of course the stupid
bozos in California went for it and banned plastic straws
(30:06):
here and there was it was one.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
It was one sea turtle.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
But that was that was very uh it was. It
was stressful to see that that a straw. It was.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
It was hartful for the sea turtle. I felt that
not bad enough that I never wanted to see.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I don't think it even killed him.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I think it just temporarily got got lodged in there
and probably probably made its way out.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Have you ever tried metal straws?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Oh? Yeah, a couple of times.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
I don't like those either.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
No, because you know what, you could give yourself a
lobotomy with those. I remember sucking on a metal straw
and banging my elbow on the table and that shoved
the metal, you know, into the roof of my mouth,
and I said, wait.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
You can die here.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You could end up with like six inches of a
metal rod in your brain. God, all these, all these
wonderful progressive ideas are dangerous. So uh, Trump has said
publicly they want to ban straws. Does anyone ever try
those paper straws? They're not working too good. It disintegrates
as you drink it. If radical environmentalists want to end
(31:16):
all pratt plastic, they should quit using it. Uh. Actually
one of the senators said that. I mean, it's just
it's all this stuff is annoying. It's just annoying. It's
like it's in my car too. This there's this do
you know that little feature? I guess they would call
it where you stop in a traffic light and your
(31:36):
engine turns off.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Yeah, but you have a choice though you don't have
to have that because I have that in my car.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
But I can turn that off, but every time I
turn on the car, I have to press the button
and reactivate it. Yeah, And in some rental cars they
it's very difficult trying to find how you do it.
And I've had to look up on YouTube online manuals
that explain about ninety seconds. Sometimes you have to put
your transmission into a certain gear huh, and and you
(32:06):
have to take some other actions, like it's like a
three step process, and you have to do that every
single time you get in the car, because they figured
out that nobody.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Likes it, because because especially.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
In LA, you stop at a light and your car
stalls out, it does take a couple of seconds for
it to get going again. And if you've got a
crazed homeless person who's sitting on your hood banging on
your window, you could die.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
You haven't you You are not used to that because
I don't even think about that anymore. And I can
change the setting. I'm just too lazy. And then I
forget and it's just it's just part of my driving life.
I don't even I don't even give it a second thought.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
How many other things.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You are the problem? You get used to everybody. Everybody
gets used to things.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
No, I mean, if it was bad enough, and sometimes
I have changed it, and then and then I it
goes back, and you.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Know, I don't even back out of my driveway before
turning on the whatever that is it's the symbol is
like an A right. It looks like an AS sign.
Just there's nothing that that movement does which is not
colossally irritating and unnecessary. Nothing that that's the stuff that
fries me when something is unnecessary and really irritating and
(33:20):
impinges on my freedoms. Tired of having my freedom, the
freedom to like bolt off a traffic light right once
once the light turns green, right get away from a
crazy homeless person.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Yeah, but you can, you can. You just have to
change the setting.
Speaker 9 (33:36):
You can do that. So it's not really uh, it
doesn't really.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Have anything to do with your with your with your
rights or anything like that, because you can change it, right,
you just forget or you're lazy like me.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
We've got when we come back your tax money through
this organization again US A I D. You paid for
a famous to terrorists college education.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
They have found records that proves this.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Do we get our money back?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
You'll recognize this guy's name. He was quite prominent some
years back. Deborah Mark live in the KFI twenty four
our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John Covelt
Show podcast. You can always hear the show live on
KFI AM six forty from one to four pm every
Monday through Friday, and of course anytime on demand on
the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four and then
after four o'clock John Cobel Show on demand on the
iHeart app. Among the stuff we're going to be covering
later in the hour. Tom Homan went on Fox last
night and they're getting close to finding who has been
leaking information in various cities about ICE's raids to deport
(00:27):
criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
There's been a.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Lot of that going on the raid and Aurora was
short circuited in Colorado. They're going after the trend dear
Ragua gang members and then some local media released the tails.
In San Francisco, the FCC is doing an investigation for
an all news station up there, KCBS. They went into
detail about what streets the ICE agents were going to be,
(00:53):
the make and model and color of their cars. I
mean that that shouldn't be legal, but you know, Sam Francisco,
you go to work for a new station, there's gonna
be a lot of woacads and there's there's leakers inside ICE,
I guess inside the Trump administration, and uh, they're they're
giving warnings in advance here here, the La Times had
(01:13):
had some coverage that a big raid was being planned
in La very soon. So Holman is is furious. Uh,
and they think they're closing in on the leak or
will play some of those clips coming up?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Now, let's get to.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
This.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
This uh is fascinating. You know, you never know when
Trump if he's just blowing out an idea, just a
random idea that hits him, or if he's if he's
got if he just wants to entertain people. Trump is
insisting that the US has the authority to take Gaza,
(01:53):
and he wants the Palestinians forced out and sent to Jordan.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
In Egypt, which wants no part of this.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Trump is looking at this to completely rebuild the site
since it's been mostly destroyed. We're going to talk now
with the Lieutenant General Richard Newton, retired Air Force and
he contributes to News Nation as a senior national security contributor.
Let's get Richard Newton on. Lieutenant General Newton, how are you.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Hey, John, Great to be with you, a good afternoon,
and again lost the tea up here.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Well, first of all, can he do it?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Or is he trying to turn this into a reality somehow.
Is there any legal basis for the US going in there,
and assuming I don't know, conservatorship of Gaza, if not
outright ownership, I mean, how does this work?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Well, I tell a legal basis was the election in November.
And I'll guarantee if President Trump is deadly serious about this.
You know, this announcement to take over Gaza is it's
an extraordinary paradigm shift. And you know, frankly, we've been
dealing with the hypocrisy of almost complete hypocrisy in Gaza,
(03:08):
the region, this whole idea of a two state solution
for years. And on the other hand, you have Iran
and its proxy's really seeking to destroy Israel since nineteen
seventy nine. And so what presidents come up with is
a certainly a much different approach. As I mentioned, what
(03:29):
I would call a significant paradigm shift and so forth.
So there's you know, he's obviously shifting the narrative. I
believe he has a high ground here in terms of
there's a lot of things that have not worked John,
and this is you know, the idea of quote either
ownership or developing Gaza is. You know, it's certainly the
(03:54):
current force as you're in the Mid East, but it
surely will be a catalyst for a lot of new ideas, frankly, John,
that I think are much needed.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
How do you practically remove there's what two million Palestinians
that I don't know how many still live there after
all the bombing.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, there's anywhere between one point eight million and two million,
as you allude to. And if you recall a couple
of weeks or so ago, you know, he made a
pronouncement also of seeking Jordan, seeking Egypt, other Arab nations
to take the Palestinian, the non militant Palestinians, the refugees
(04:34):
out of Gaza because it has indeed been turned into rubble.
They refused to do so so far. In fact, King
abdill of the Second, who by the way, is a
very strong ally and frankly, in my estimation, a very
effective leader in Jordan, who was in the Oval office
earlier this week and really tried to have some you know,
(04:57):
conversation obviously with the President. He implored King Abdullah and
others to take the Palestinians, whether or not that happens,
and there's a lot of challenges inside the nation of
Jordan and maybe perhaps Israel as well. But if this
is gonna work, you're gonna have to displace the Palestinians,
and that's been very difficult to do. Look, this is
(05:17):
this is an this is a very hard idea. It's
a big idea, but it's a very hard idea. But
it's going to start somewhere. And if you're going to
change the narrative, you're going to change the plight of
the Palestinian people. You're going to have to give them
an opportunity to uh to live elsewhere while the rebuilding
of Gaza takes place.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
From what I understand, the history of the Palestinians is
when whenever another country takes them in, you end up
with a lot of trouble. There's just too many, too
many terrorist types, there's too many unstable elements, and you
end up it's more trouble than it's worth. You end
up with some of the some of the people, some
of the Palestinians want to overthrow whatever government they're visiting,
(06:01):
you know, whether it's Jordan or Lebanon or wherever. They've
been kicked out of a lot of the neighboring countries
over the decades it has.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
That's a fair point. It's also a tightrope for say,
King Abdulah in Jordan to say, you know, host the
million or so of the Palestinian people, because you have
to balance what he has sought, peace with Israel, along
with supporting the United States, along with nearly one billion
dollars of aid that the United States has poured into Jordan.
(06:32):
But at the same time, he himself has a rested population,
and a very large component of that Palestinian Jordan happened
to be displaced Palestinians in of itself. So I'm not
telling you this is easy. In fact, this is extraordinarily difficult.
But I can tell you that whatever we've been trying
to do up to this point in the last several
decade has not worked. So I think we ought to
(06:54):
give present the opportunity in the lane here as I mentioned,
to change the narrative and significant paradigm shift here in
the vidis I do.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I wonder what Trump could offer these these countries to
get them to do it. I mean, there's got to
be something in it for them not to just take
in one hundreds of thousands of people who don't want
to be there and could be really disruptive. I mean,
those populations aren't going to want them either. So any
leader that does this is going to get blowback from
his own people.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So what's there for?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, what's the current that that Trump could offer these
these uh these leaders.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Well, one of the care would be a rejuvenated security
UH guarantees that would you know, provide the United States
would provide UH security for UH. You know, could be
border security, other things. Other military aid, could provide some
economic aid called jobs. UH could put first priority for
(07:49):
these participating nations. In an academic conversation I'm having with you,
say a lot of the workforce comes out of Egypt
or Jordan or other places, and give them first priority
for jobs for the reconstruction in Gaza itself. So there
are some some avenues approach. He could also approach Saudi Arabia,
which is the richest Arab nation in the region, and
(08:11):
provide them a herit for say trade and oil you know,
negotiations and so forth, and certainly increased military aid to
Saudi Arabia to provide you know, that on ramp for
them to accept politically diplomatically. This whole idea of moving
(08:33):
the displaced gods and citizens in this case, in order
to rebuild. The other aspect of this is this isn't
a three to five year deal, however, John, this is
this is ten to fifteen years in the making. So
it's going to have to have those guarantees are gonna
have to be solidly in place because it's going to
transcend not only a Trump administration, but several administrations thereafter.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, I just look it in the Wall Street Journal.
They had a story about this today and Trump was
sitting next to King Abdullah of Jordan and said, flat out,
there's nothing to buy. We will have Gaza. We're going
to take it. Asked under what authority he would have
to take it, he says the United States authority, and
the discussion it was.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Very clear about that. And again and he appreciates the
fact that King Abdullah is in a tough position, as
you and I mentioned just a few minutes or so ago,
from his own political standpoint. You know, just for the record,
you know, King of Dullah's great grandfather was actually assassinated
by a Palestinian in nineteen fifty one. So there's a
long history of unrest or potential unrest. But to King
(09:39):
Abdullah's credit. I've been to Jordan, I've been with our
troops there. It's a solid nation. They solidly behind the
United States. Regardless of the administration. It isn't within US
national security interest for Jordan to excel in this case.
And that's why you've got the first air bleader to
visit the Oval Office under Trump, Andministration number two happens
(10:01):
to be the King of Jordan. It's not lost on that.
So the other I'll close on my final point here
is that the fact that there's a lot of it's
not just economics, but there's other aspects of US national
security of play here. There's geopolitical, there's diplomatic, there's certainly military,
and there's economic and financial here. But the bottom line
is that if we're going to restore any type of
(10:24):
restoration to Gazam, that helps with US national security, it
helps with the Mid East, but all roads, My bottom
line is, however, all roads lead back to Tehran and
the key area there is that they cannot get their
hands on a nuclear weapon, nor they continue to put
forth hate towards Israel, condemning Israel as well as the
(10:46):
third piece of this is we've got to stop them
from supporting their proxies to go do harm not only
to Israel, but to the United States and our US
nation security interest overseas. So but all roads lead back
to Kylan.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
John all right, thank you for coming on, Lieutenant General
Richard Newton, retired Air Force general, and the idea of
US going in and just taking Gaza because we can't
and then what would we do with it?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Thanks very much, my pleasure, great being with you. John.
Speaker 5 (11:15):
All right, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from
kf I am sixty.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
We're just talking with let me get his name here.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
The Lieutenant General Richard Newton, who was telling us the
feasibility Trump doesn't doesn't give up on this.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
He did.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
This was not a throwaway. I mean, it's it's probably
a grand negotiating ploy. But he he had a press
conference and he sat next to the King of Jordan
and he, uh, He's just said we're we're gonna take
over Gaza. And somebody asked, well, under what authority goes
(11:58):
under the authority of the United States of America and
the and King of Abdullah of Jordan was sitting right
next to him.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
There.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Now, contrast this with recent administrations such as the Biden administration.
Because one thing that that Elon Musk and his crowd
has discovered is the United States Agency for International Development USAID.
(12:33):
They've been making the headlines a lot in the last week,
and it turns out they had a forty billion dollar
budget for foreign aid and probably by their own admission,
ninety percent of the money was not going to citizens
of these poor, impoverished, war torn countries.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
It looks like the USAID in the State Department spent
one hundred and sixty four million dollars on something called
the Middle East Form, the Middle East Forum. Well, let
me reverse that. The Middle East Forum did a study
of the money that USAID was handing out, and they're
(13:17):
the investigators the Middle East Form, and it turns out
that USAID was giving more than nine hundred thousand dollars
to a terror charity.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Based in Gaza.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
It was a non governmental organization an NNGO, which advertised
itself as an organization that works to build a civil
society on the Gaza Strip. That you might laugh at that, well,
they were actually a terror charity. They got nine hundred
thousand dollars from the US government. The funding began in
(13:52):
twenty sixteen, and they were getting money right up till
the day the Hamas attacked Israel. It was founded in
two thousand and seven after Hamas took over the Gaza Strip,
and Beadare operates in close cooperation with the Hamas regime.
(14:13):
It's twenty twenty one report notes coordination and meetings with
all of Hamas's cabinet officials in various ministries. The funds
were gotten through other charities such as Catholic Relief Services.
So what I'm saying here is our tax money, your
(14:34):
tax money, we have been financing these terror groups who
present themselves as peaceful organizations trying to make life better
for the poor people stuck in a warzone. But actually
the money was going to Hamas. The report found that
(14:55):
USAID approved a twelve and a half million dollar grant
to another agency called the American Near East Refugee Agency.
You see, you put the word refugee in there, and
people go, oh, but we want to help refugees. It's
not their fault that their countries are torn up by war. Well,
except it's not a refugee agency. It's a partner of Hamas.
(15:20):
It says that staffers with this agency have repeatedly and
publicly posted violent ideas calling on God to erase the Jews,
expressing support for the brave Hamas prisoners in the Israeli jails,
and described October seventh as a beautiful morning.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
USAID won't even say how much they give.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Other organizations such as Unlimited Friends Association. You got to
love the names of these places, Unlimited Friends, which the
head of the charity promised to cleanse their land of
impure Jews, impure Jews. And this report goes on and
(16:09):
on and on, so our tax see if you see people,
especially like democratic politicians. I heard and saw so many
screaming meltdowns, officials screaming f Trump. They're having a total
emotional breakdown. This is the stuff that they're fighting against.
(16:35):
Terrorist organizations who were stealing US taxpayers money with phony,
phony fronts claiming that they were helping refugees. And I'm
sure people with obviously people within these agencies knew they
were phony fronts. We were paying people on our own
agencies who wanted the Jews eradicated from the Middle East.
(16:58):
All right, you got more coming up? Oh, we're going
to talk about Tom Holman. Tom Holman going on Fox
News and he has had it with the leaks getting
in the way of his raids. And we'll play some
clips of They're gonna they I think they found the
person or the people who have been sabotaging the raids
with premature leaks.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
We'll talk about that next.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty oh.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I forgot to mention the Moistline.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yes, the Moistline is back this week eight seven seven
Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six, usually
talkback feature on the iew art iHeart Radio app. I
think it's becoming clear that the enemy is is the
government itself, the government workers who are responding so angrily
to Trump and trying to block their dismissals and they're
(17:50):
going to court or they're leaking information that that is
really the center. I mean, he is smoking out just
how kurfat and corrupt and and stupid and useless many
of the government workers are. I mean, instead of going
along with the program like there's there's a there's a
new regime, they've got a new philosophy, and I guess
(18:12):
They're used to sitting around on their fat asses at
home in their fuzzy slippers and bathrobes, and now Trump
has said, no, you got to get dressed, and you
got to come to work, and you've actually got to
do work, and we're going to decide whether your job
is relevant or not, we're useful or not. And uh,
you know there they should take the buyouts. Anybody who's
(18:33):
gotten a buyout offer eight months with pay and benefits,
they got to take it because, uh, your life is
going to be miserable anyway. You're gonna lose your job eventually.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Take the money now and then go take these charming
work habits to the private sector and see how far
it takes you. One of the enemies in the government
is uh people a person or people inside ice inside
the Trump adminished and they're calling up the media. They've
done it in Aurora, Colorado, in San Francisco and in
la among other places, and they're leaking information about the
(19:09):
ice rates. Now, there can't be that many people aware
that an ice rate is coming to a town. And
Tom Holman, the borders are who we're supposed to have
on within the next week or so, he's going to
come on our show. He went on Fox last night
with Hannity and was questioned about where are the leaks coming.
Speaker 6 (19:28):
From, Tom, Where are these leaks coming from?
Speaker 4 (19:30):
Well, look where think it's coming from? Inside?
Speaker 7 (19:32):
And we know the first week of Aurora is under
current investigation. We think we identify that person under investigation
right now. The California League Secretary of NOME, she's correct.
Some of the information we're receiving tensive lead toward the FBI.
But I talked to Deputy Attorney General all this weekend.
(19:54):
They've opened up a criminal investigation and they have promised
that not only this person will lose their job and
lose your pension, they're gonna go to jail. They're gonna
criminally prosecute. So we're all over it. We got the
dhs IG investigating the first one. Have pretty idea what happened,
can't share lots of it is under investigation, but the
IGS opened up a criminal investigation on the Secondhere we're
(20:15):
selling a strong message. It's just not you know, given
the bad guys that heads up so they can escape apprehension.
Right we're arresting and you know, given you know Venzuela
gang heads up, so we can't arrest them. You're putting
officers lives at risk. It's only a matter of time.
We walk into a place where there's gonna be a
bad guy doesn't care. He's going to be sitting and
wait for the officers show up and ambush them.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
This is not a game.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
So DHS and DJ are connected at hip to hold
these people responsible in a criminal fashion.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
So early indications are this is coming from our own FBI.
How certain are you of.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
That information leading to that? Again, I'll let I'll let
the Department of Justice do their own investigation. But again
I talked to the Deputy Tourney General this week and
they've opened up a criminal investigation. He thinks the information
is coming from there also, So we'll let an invigation
investigation play out.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
But some of the leads point that way.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Great, we've got woke, progressive FBI agents or other FBI
personnel leaking sensitive details about ICE raids, and Holman's right.
Eventually some ICE officials officers are going to get killed.
There's gonna they're gonna stage in, ambush and and and
murder these guys, which shows you that these these woke
progressive jackasses. They hate this country, they hate our way
(21:31):
of life.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
And this is this is this is treason.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
The when you're talking about MS thirteen gang members, Trendy
Iraguo gang members, people out of Venezuelan prisons, this is like,
this is warfare here. These are the worst people from
these societies and they've been allowed to flourish here. Now,
why do you think that is because they want the chaos.
(21:58):
These progressives who have embedded themselves in the government, embedded
themselves in the FBI, they want the chaos, They want
the violence. They don't care about the collateral damage. They
don't care if young women are raped and brutalized and
murdered like Lake and Riley. They have a larger cause,
and that is the dismantling of capitalist America, of our
(22:21):
democratic way of life. And they've done a good job
of infiltrating government. And that's what Holman and Musk and
Trump are doing is smoking these guys out Here is
Hannity asking about these eighty six thousand IRS agents who
might be going down to the border to help.
Speaker 6 (22:40):
Out the idea of you know, not hiring these eighty
eight thousand IRS agents to go after you know, waile
abiding taxpayers and bringing them to the border. How helpful
would that be in your mission?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
So we'll put them to work for the law enforcement officers.
Speaker 7 (22:57):
We are certainly putting work and helping secure some of
these at large operations. They don't have an immigration authority,
but they can certainly cover back door, they can certainly transport,
they can certainly help process the non criminal IRS agent.
They can help us process and do some intelligence and
wrap around infrastructure planning.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
We'll take them.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
We can use all the help we can get because
this is a big operation, So I hope we get
some of them. I think it's a President and Trust
made it very clear this is all a government approach
because this is the nest. This is a national security
vulnerability or open border and having all these two over
two million known guideways. You and I talked about some
lot sean help us find these people who paid more
(23:36):
to get away over two men. We know who they are,
where they came from, why they're here. But we need
to find those folks that We'll take every man and
woman available to come.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
You believe the mess that was left behind by Biden Kamala,
this is a gigantic mess, thousands and thousands and millions
of illegal aliens, many of them violent criminals, and now
you have these progress By the way, there's no difference
between the progressive the FBI leaking out ICE raid information
(24:04):
and what Karen Bass's opinion is here in LA because
she has pledged absolutely no cooperation with ICE. She has
declared LA a sanctuary city, which means that rather than
have law enforcement turn over illegal aliens that they arrest
and detain instead of turning over to the Feds. Now
(24:26):
these ICE agents have to go out into the neighborhoods
and risk getting ambushed, risk getting murdered. So the result
is is that Karen Bass is in one hundred percent
agreement with the FBI agents who are acting like traders
and endangering the lives of ICE law enforcement. You know,
(24:48):
she walks around with that silly smile on her face,
although not lately for the last month, her politics are indistinguishable.
It is the same philosophy. Here's one more cut. Hannity
asking Tom Holman how quickly we can find all these
illegal aliens, and Holman says, well, it's a sanctuary city.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Is getting in the way, This is not an easy
lift to begin with, and you've expressed confidence that you'll
find them all, and the question is how quickly do
you think we can find them all?
Speaker 7 (25:19):
Well, Sanctuary cities now they're putting up heavy roadblock possible
and right than the rest of the bad guy in
account at gail takes one agent arrested bad guy when
they gets arrested in putting account in jail, we got
to send a whole team to the neighborhood. So it's
going to be it's very difficult sanctuarous cities, but we're
gonna keep coming. What are we doing about sanctuous cities.
I'm going to double a man part in those sanctuous cities.
Sanctuary cities if we can't get him in their homes,
(25:40):
will get him a place for amployment. We're going to
have large scale of work site enforcement operation. So we're
going to send more resource. We're not going to stop,
We're going to keep coming. We're going to keep coming more.
We're going to increase the tieting in those cities. We're
gonna give full steam ahead on sanctuary cities. Sanctuary cities
have we come in the priority why because of protection
they're protecting public safety, threasts and national security threats. So
(26:03):
we're gonna double manpower, We're gonna double operations, We're gonna
double targeting. We're coming full more and then not gonna
stop us. I'm taking this seriously. I don't sleep well
at night because I'm afraid of the people are walking
the streets here every day because sanctuarious cities to protect them.
Sanctuary cities are sanctuary for criminals bottom line. So we're
gonna we're gonna do everything we can to find them,
(26:24):
regardless of what it takes. We got a strong President
of White House has given us all authority we need.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
We're coming criminals, gang members, terrorists. That's who Garon Bass
is protecting. Who's she endangering? Ice agents, police officers. That
that smile is a cover for a lot of a
lot of woke, fanatical progressive beliefs. She's destructive and damaging.
You don't think she's destructive, go take a look at
(26:50):
the palisades. We're coming up.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
We are on from one until four and after four o'clock.
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app We've
got more funny stuff that the government spends money on.
We'll get to that right after three o'clock. We'll tell
you the story about one of the one of the
more famous terrorists who was member of Alcata and he
(27:25):
got his college education paid for by US tax bears.
Tell you that story coming up. This is actually my
favorite Trump executive order. All right, there's been hundreds of them.
This is number one. He's signing an executive order that
ends the Biden administration's ruling on banning plastic straws.
Speaker 8 (27:51):
I hate, I absolutely hate those paper straws.
Speaker 9 (27:54):
I've got to.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Say, well, you're on the side of the president. I
will be signing executive See if I was president, this
would have been my first executive order. First, my first one, yes,
is said to end the ban on plastic straws. He wrote,
I will be signing an executive order ending the ridiculous
Biden push for paper straws, which don't work.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
They don't there It is true.
Speaker 8 (28:18):
I had a smoothie a few weeks ago and I
had one of those paper straws.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Oh my gosh, I got I got mad in a
restaurant in Santa Monica a few years ago when they
switched to the paper straw mandate and they gave this
place had really really bad paper straws and you just
stick them in your mouth once for about eight seconds
and they disintegrated like it was cotton candy. And I
(28:43):
went up to the woman behind the counter, one of
these bad attitude women, and I said, these don't work. Well,
you know that's the rule in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
They don't work. Well that you know, that's the ordinance
that was bad. They don't work.
Speaker 9 (28:58):
You know, well, what were you expecting to do?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
John?
Speaker 9 (29:01):
Here, I have a secret stash plastic for you.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
I just wanted her to annoy her, you know, she she,
she kept changing the subject subject was they don't work?
Speaker 9 (29:13):
But the turtle?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Oh, for God's sakes, was it a turtle?
Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:18):
Wasn't it a turtle?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
See turtle? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
See turtle?
Speaker 8 (29:20):
Didn't I think pastathon one year? I think I didn't.
I I got you some kind of costume and you
had to put a strop your nose or something.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Did I do that?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (29:31):
Gosh? When was that? It was your?
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Well?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I had Yeah, I remember the costume. I think I
still have it at home.
Speaker 8 (29:35):
Yeah, there was a put it.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
It was green and yellow. Sometimes I want to be
a turtle. I get in the mood.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yes, And the thing is that was the only turtle
that ever happened to. But there was a photograph and
some nine year old who's probably twenty five now, because
this this was going back a few years. Uh he
he started, you know, through the internet, a whole nationwide
movement to bamp plastic straws, and of course the stupid
bozos in California went for it and banned plastic straws
(30:06):
here and there was it was one.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
It was one sea turtle.
Speaker 9 (30:12):
But that was that was very uh it was. It
was stressful to see that that a straw. It was.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
It was hartful for the sea turtle. I felt that
not bad enough that I never wanted to see.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
I don't think it even killed him.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
I think it just temporarily got got lodged in there
and probably probably made its way out.
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Have you ever tried metal straws?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Oh? Yeah, a couple of times.
Speaker 9 (30:36):
I don't like those either.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
No, because you know what, you could give yourself a
lobotomy with those. I remember sucking on a metal straw
and banging my elbow on the table and that shoved
the metal, you know, into the roof of my mouth,
and I said, wait.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
You can die here.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
You could end up with like six inches of a
metal rod in your brain. God, all these, all these
wonderful progressive ideas are dangerous. So uh, Trump has said
publicly they want to ban straws. Does anyone ever try
those paper straws? They're not working too good. It disintegrates
as you drink it. If radical environmentalists want to end
(31:16):
all pratt plastic, they should quit using it. Uh. Actually
one of the senators said that. I mean, it's just
it's all this stuff is annoying. It's just annoying. It's
like it's in my car too. This there's this do
you know that little feature? I guess they would call
it where you stop in a traffic light and your
(31:36):
engine turns off.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
Yeah, but you have a choice though you don't have
to have that because I have that in my car.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
But I can turn that off, but every time I
turn on the car, I have to press the button
and reactivate it. Yeah, And in some rental cars they
it's very difficult trying to find how you do it.
And I've had to look up on YouTube online manuals
that explain about ninety seconds. Sometimes you have to put
your transmission into a certain gear huh, and and you
(32:06):
have to take some other actions, like it's like a
three step process, and you have to do that every
single time you get in the car, because they figured
out that nobody.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Likes it, because because especially.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
In LA, you stop at a light and your car
stalls out, it does take a couple of seconds for
it to get going again. And if you've got a
crazed homeless person who's sitting on your hood banging on
your window, you could die.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
You haven't you You are not used to that because
I don't even think about that anymore. And I can
change the setting. I'm just too lazy. And then I
forget and it's just it's just part of my driving life.
I don't even I don't even give it a second thought.
Speaker 9 (32:42):
How many other things.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
You are the problem? You get used to everybody. Everybody
gets used to things.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
No, I mean, if it was bad enough, and sometimes
I have changed it, and then and then I it
goes back, and you.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Know, I don't even back out of my driveway before
turning on the whatever that is it's the symbol is
like an A right. It looks like an AS sign.
Just there's nothing that that movement does which is not
colossally irritating and unnecessary. Nothing that that's the stuff that
fries me when something is unnecessary and really irritating and
(33:20):
impinges on my freedoms. Tired of having my freedom, the
freedom to like bolt off a traffic light right once
once the light turns green, right get away from a
crazy homeless person.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Yeah, but you can, you can. You just have to
change the setting.
Speaker 9 (33:36):
You can do that. So it's not really uh, it
doesn't really.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Have anything to do with your with your with your
rights or anything like that, because you can change it, right,
you just forget or you're lazy like me.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
We've got when we come back your tax money through
this organization again US A I D. You paid for
a famous to terrorists college education.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
They have found records that proves this.
Speaker 9 (34:05):
Do we get our money back?
Speaker 2 (34:06):
