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.
It's a good day to be here. We have a
lot to do, we have a lot to tell you about.
We're on every day between one and four o'clock and
if you miss any part of the show, that's what
the podcast is for. As soon as we're over shortly
after four, that's posted. It's called John Cobelt Show on Demand,
(00:23):
same as the radio show, and you could listen to
what you missed. And we are starting out with the
acting US Attorney for the Central District of California, which
includes Los Angeles and a lot of territory around Los Angeles,
someone we've had on the show for years when he
was in the legislature and now working in the Justice Department.
(00:45):
Bill Saley is coming on. Gavin Newsom and the Democratic
Legislature unveiled several bills to combat ice or Trump's secret
police force has new some likes to put it, including
the one they got the most headlines was he has
a dress code now for the ice agents. They can't
(01:07):
wear masks because he says so. This is written by
Scott Wiener and what's crazy is Wiener is a lawyer,
and he knows better. And in fact, if you spend
even an hour in constitution class, you will find out
that this is all complete nonsense. The state has no
right to tell the federal government how to dress its
(01:27):
law enforcement agents. Let's go to Bill Sale, the acting
US Attorney. Here, Bill, how are you?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I'm doing well? John, how are you?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I'm doing good? This is nonsense, a complete nonsense. They
can't tell they can't tell ice how to dress.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
No, it is nonsense. They know it's nonsense, by the way,
but they don't care. It's all about scoring political points
and inflaming the public. And so they said, you know what,
We're going to pass this bill, and we're going to
ban federal and local agents from wearing masks because all
of a sudden, now masks are scary, when when they
made us all mask up for years, Yes, now masks
(02:06):
are scary. But very interesting, John, I don't know if
you picked up on this. There's one agency that's exempt
from the law.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
What's that HP?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And who's the agency that's responsible for protecting the governor.
It's HP. So I just find it so fascinating that
he's so concerned about this issue, but when it comes
to the men and women who are responsible for protecting
his safety, he doesn't want to burden them with this
new law, so he exempt them from it. I just
thought that was very fascinating.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, it's the usual massive hypocrisy. He must assume that
the public is so ignorant that a certain percentage you're
going to fall for this.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, some might, but I've made it abundantly clear that
the federal government is not subject to laws or regulations
by the state government under the supremacy clause Federal Law Supreme.
If Gavin Newsom wants to regulate federal agents, he needs
to go win a federal election. But he has not
done that, and until he does that, he cannot pass
(03:04):
laws to tell us how to do our job. And
so I've sent out a directive to our agencies we
will not comply with that new state law there to
disregard it, and we will continue doing our job as
business as usual.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Who would enforce that?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm trying to imagine, like, would he have the state
police pull over federal agents and rip their masks off.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't understand. Are they going to arrest federal agents?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I don't think so. I think he knows that would
be untenable. We're not going to be arrested by any
local or state officer, and if anyone tries to interfere
with us, we'll arrest them. So that's you know, you know,
in the battle of guns, John, I think we win.
The federal government's going to leave the state government. You know,
(03:49):
we got the National Guard. We've got all kinds of
resources here, so he's not going to pick a fight
with the federal government. He's Look, what Newsom wants is
what he got. A press conference, a bunch of articles,
a bunch of parrots parroting whatever talking points he said.
And then you know what, in a month, you know,
in six months or a year from now, when this
gets struck down in court or whatever, you know, it'll
(04:10):
be forgotten. So he got what he wanted for the moment,
but this is never going to happen. It's not enforceable.
He knows that.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
He doesn't care, so he put out a a post
on x that said, Christine Noom is going to have
a bad day today, meaning they were going to announce
this set of new laws.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You're welcome America, and you referred that message to the
Secret Service, talk about that.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I did you know. I was shocked when I saw that.
First of all, I had no idea what it was
in reference to. There was no context to it. And
those were the same exact type of messages that we've
seen floating online the days before Charlie Kirk's assassination saying
he was going to have a bad day at that
university campus. And so when I saw and I think
they know that that that, I don't think they accidentally
put those words together. It's mimicking identical posts that we've
(04:58):
seen related to the Charlie kisset. So when he does that,
and so this ominous threat against the sitting cabinet member,
sitting Secretary of Homeland Security saying she's going to have
a bad day, I don't know what that means. So
that's the Secret Services job is to go figure out
what that means, whether there was a nefarious intent behind
it or not. They should get to the bottom of it.
(05:19):
And I made that referral to Secret Service and they're
following through with it. And whether or not they intended
it to be a threat, people may have interpreted as
a threat as a threat and so we do worry
about what people would do when they get messages like
that from the governor of the state of.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
California, and it could incite somebody, Yes, it could incite somebody.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
So no, we need to take these things seriously. I
don't know, John, I grew up in a day in
a time, you know, and I remember this as a kid,
if anyone said any threat about the president, you had
the Secret Service on your doorsteps knocking, wanting to know
what you're talking about and what your intentions are. And
so we need to get back to those days. If
you even imply a threat, you're going to get a
visit from the Feds and you're gonna have to explain
(05:58):
what that's about. We're just at that state now, we're
having people being assassinated for their political beliefs.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
There's so there's so much animation from Bass, from Newsom
and Bass. I mean, you may have seen that Bass
was at MacArthur Park yesterday and just screaming and screaming
about ice agents and enforcing federal law. This seems to
be the only issue that gets her, that makes her
come alive. Certainly wasn't the fire and Newsom too, I
(06:28):
mean he was. He five laws they passed over the
weekend regarding immigration.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
And is it interesting? I wish they would fight this
hard or be as upset on issues affecting Americans or taxpayers.
You never see them get this upset. Now, Why are
they so beholden to illegal immigrants? There must be another
reason here. I mean, you'll have to speculate on that,
but something's up.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I'm kind of baffled.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I get what their position is, but why are they
pushing this hard, this loudly, and doing things that are
just blatantly illegal, unconstitutional. You can't tell ice agents that
they can't wear masks. That right doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It doesn't exist. And I think what this is about, John,
is they're getting a lot of benefits from having millions
of illegal immigrants here, whether that's counted in the census
or reimbursements or whatever nonsense. But they've just they've committed
themselves to this, and they can't fathom the idea that
we're actually going to deport these people out of our country.
You know, they've worked for years to open the border
and get these people in here. Maybe they think they're
(07:34):
going to be future citizens and voters. I don't know
what their long term plans are. They're very upset about it.
And what they're doing is they can't win at the
ballot box. They're not winning in court. We got them
reversed at the Supreme Court when they try to stop us.
So now what they're doing is just inciting the public.
They're putting out the gasoline, they're putting out the matches,
and they're getting people all worked up, and they know
(07:54):
what they're doing. They're signaling for people to go attack
our agents. We've had over a thousand percent an increase
on assaults in our agents. We filed almost one hundred
cases here in my office for assaults or interference. People
feel emboldened to step up to stand up to our agents,
and that's because of the likings of Gavin Newsom and
Mayor bass who are telling the people that we are
(08:15):
an illegitimate force and we are to be repelled from
the state of California.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Aaron basset Is are going to have three vans following
around ice agents when the agents try to do their
work and inside are going to boo.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
They're going to be taking video.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Of course, they're going to have attorneys, they're going to
have like a whole team of people ready to spring
into action to stop you guys from enforcing the law.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Well, they're not going to stop anything. We're still going
to deport them. I guess, Well they can get a
nice video of us picking up the illegals. I think
it helps us. I like it when they take those
videos and then go put them on the TV. People
need to know we're serious about enforcing immigration laws. We're
not going to stop. And if they want to show
up and document it, that's fine. If they get in
our way, they'll be arrested. And so everything they've done
(09:01):
has failed. Everything they've done has failed. We're only on
stronger legal footing now because the case law that they're
helping us make that we're allowed to do what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Because legally they have no power. I mean, they really
have no power, and they're really slailing away.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
They're flailing right, but they're in a position. They thought
at first they're going to use these Antifa and other
groups to start riots, and that was going to stop
us from doing it. And what did we do. We
called the National Guard almost right away, and that calm
things down. So now things are calm. You actually see
them enforcing you know, unlawful assemblies, and they don't want
to give the president another justification to send out more
(09:38):
military out here. So now I think what they're pivoting
to is sort of like this targeted opposition. So they
want to go, you know, when we do it in
operation somewhere, send a van out. Okay, whatever, what is
it going to accomplish nothing. We're following the law. We're
compliance with the law. They can document it if they want.
At the end of the day, if you're here unlawfully,
(09:58):
you're subject to deportation. That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Bill Sanley, the acting US Attorney for the Central District
here in California, Los Angeles and almost surrounding areas, thank
you for coming on again.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Thank you, John. I'll just do a little pitch. We're hiring,
so if there's any lawyers out there that want to
be prosecutors and our patriots, come come, come apply.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You're hiring prosecutors.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh yeah, we're down about one hundred lawyers. We've had
many people leave for various reasons, and we are hiring
patriots to come more here at the US Attorney's Office.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
All right, Bill, thank you, for coming on again.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Thank you, John, all right, take care, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And we will talk more about this nonsense when we
come back. And it is complete and utter nonsense, and
shame on the news media the way they're covering this
is if it's a real thank you.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
We are on every day from one until four, and
the moistline is eight seven seven moist eighty six, eight
seven seven moist eighty six eight seven seven sixty six
four seven eight eighty six, or use the talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app play them back on Friday. We've
just had Bill Assalion. He's the acting US Attorney for
the Central District here in California, which covers Los Angeles
(11:10):
and all the adjoining counties.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And uh, if I.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Wanted, we wanted to get him on right away so
you could hear it from a guy at the top
of the business when it comes to federal law. UH,
somebody who is in charge of US law enforcement here
in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. What Gavin Newsom announced
over the weekend about the state banning ice agents from
(11:38):
wearing face masks is complete horsecrap, total total bs. There
is no such thing. Newsom and Bass have all these
concepts which they deliver very loudly and passionately. Right, and
if they do it publicly, they got people cheering them on.
(11:59):
Billy thing is it doesn't really exist in federal law.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
They're not a thing.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
There's no such thing as having a sanctuary state so
that illegal immigrants cannot be arrested.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
There's no such thing.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
There's no such thing in the Constitution that the state
can tell the federal government had address. It's law enforcement officers.
It's made up, it's invented. I'm going to read you,
and we really do this. This is a special moment.
I'm going to read you a paragraph from the Constitution.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
We've never done this before, have we don't?
Speaker 7 (12:35):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
This is Article six, Section one, Clause two. It's known
as the Supremacy Clause. Now listen closely because this is
written by lawyers, you know, two hundred and fifty years ago.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But it's short.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
This Constitution and the Laws of the United States, which
shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made
or which shall be made under the authority of the
United States shall be the supreme law of the land.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
All right, we all follow that.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All federal laws, the Federal Constitution, federal treaties supreme law
of the land, and the judges in every state.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Shall be bound thereby.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And anything in the constitution or laws of any state
to the contrary notwithstanding. In other words, all the judges
here in California as well as the federal judges are
bound by federal law. And it doesn't matter what it
says in state California law or in the California State Constitution.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
They could pass all the symbolic nonsense they want, and
that's all it is. And what really, really really pisses
me on is they present all this on the news
shows with newsomen his all his defiant glory, and they
don't ever point out that what he just announced, what
(14:14):
he just passed with the legislature is total garbage, will
never be law, cannot be enforced.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Just think it through for a minute.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Is the state police is LAPD going to go up
to ice officers and do what, start.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
A shootout, rip their mask off, detain.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Them, which is why they put it in the constitution.
Otherwise you'd have standoffs between federal officials law enforcement officials
and state law enforcement officials or local ones. So in
order that that doesn't happen, you have to have a
(14:58):
hierarchy sentence stone Federal is first, period, State is next.
So if there's ever a some kind of dispute between
which law applies to federal state federal officers versus state officers,
dispute was settled. Was settled back in the seventeen hundreds,
(15:21):
and it's never been changed. And Newsom knows this. And
Scott Weener when he passed this excrement out of his bow,
he knew this too.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I bet you all the TV.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Reporters and the community college graduates over at the LA Times,
and I bet you all the producers and the story
editors and the assignment editors and probably most of the
anchors with a few, but they don't know this. Oh gee,
we had breaking news today. He had it new some
(15:55):
had they passed the law banning the federal ice agents
we wearing masks. It passed today in the legislature, and
Newsom held it stop. Don't be a clown if you
saw anyone breathlessly telling you this story, and they didn't
say except it's unconstitutional. There's no such thing. Then you
(16:18):
are watching a clown, you are listening to a clown,
you are reading a clown. Doesn't it make sense though?
Can you imagine if state legislatures could pass laws over
writing the federal government operations, California would have to secede.
(16:42):
Newsom would have to be declared president of this new
nation or emperor or whatever he wants, and then in
California he could make these declarations regarding California law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He cannot do anything.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's like, it's not even about agreeing or disagreeing with it.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
It's stupid.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I mean, they wear the masks because Newsom and Bass
are funding protest groups that will docs these people, get
their addresses, get their photos, and then terrorize their wives
and husbands and children. It's because of the protest groups
that Newsom and Bass fund with our tax money, and
(17:26):
they do fund with our tax money. Start with CHURLA,
for example, thirty four million dollars in state tax money.
So that's why the rapid response teams that Karen Bass
does commercials for every time she has a press conference,
rapid response teams from CHURLA. That's to send out people
(17:48):
to snap photos or videos and try to identify ICE
agents so that that other members of these organizations related
organizations can go in and start terrorizing the families. So
that's why they wear masks. And I know for sure
that's too much to put in a TV newscast when
(18:08):
you just have a bunch of low paid, low paid,
really really dimwits with little experience. It's certainly the little
understanding of the law, which is what we're plagued with
in Los Angeles media. It's just atrocious out there, the
stuff I see. All Right, more coming up.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio. We had Belli Sale on at the start
of the show and he talked about Gavin Newsom's new
package of immigration bills, featuring the one that got all
the attention that ICE agents will not be allowed to
(18:53):
wear masks in California while doing their federal duty of
enforcing immigration law. And as Sale said, there's no such thing.
The state cannot tell ICE agents not to wear masks.
It's unconstitutional. It's the supremacy clause. Take thirty seconds look
it up. Read it. It's not that many words. Most
(19:13):
of the words aren't that big, and Newsom is just
lined everybody. It's just you know, it's it's I know
it's a cheap campaign stunt, but it's stupid because you
find out within a few seconds like, oh, you made
that up. I mean, if you're a Newsome supporter, he's
trying to get you riled up for some concept that
(19:35):
doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's just an idiot.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Now, Karen Bass was at a press conference, I guess
the same one k Newsom signing these immigration bills.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Let's listen to her.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
But the fact that we need bills to protect people's
rights of privacy from information sharing, masking of federal agents
if they our federal agents, protecting kids so that they
can come to school. You heard the superintendent say how
when school was ready to start, we had a press
(20:10):
conference at another school to reassure parents that they would
be safe in sending their kids to school.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
All of this legislative resistance is to protect Angelino's from
our own federal government. That is profound because this reflects
a moment in history that we will all remember.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
A lot of overheated, dramatic rhetoric. I mean much of this.
The phrases that Newsom is using, he's run out of,
like incendiary descriptions to describe the ICE agents. It's what
Bill Saley and I talked about. They have zero legal
legs to stand on here, which is why they're just
(20:56):
trying to yell louder, get more colorful in their turns
a phrase in their tweets, trying really to distract people
from the one fact. One fact they're trying to distract
you from. They have no power because of the way
the Constitution was constructed and the supremacy clause. They can
(21:23):
try to get you to cry over children, get you
cry over little ladies, they can get you to cry
over whatever they want to cry. They have no power.
They can't stop it. They're not going to stop it.
They have increased the federal budget for ice exponentially. They
(21:46):
are hiring ice agents by the thousands. They're offering big
pay packages. It's happening, it's going to keep happening, and
most of the other states are going along with it
because it's what they want.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
In Florida.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Ron DeSantis is helping out ICE, and so Florida taxpayers
are not going to have to pay thirty five billion
dollars a year like we pay here to support illegal
aliens all their benefits, their healthcare, their schooling. I mean
(22:24):
that should be unconstitutional that you and I are being
taxed to pay for people who broke in here from
another country that I find offensive. Maybe you don't, and
you're welcome to keep sending your money to the state treasury.
But me, I am all for all these these raids
(22:46):
going on because it's costing us a tremendous amount of money.
I notice traffic is lighter, absolutely, really, yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I have not noticed that, not really, well, I think
we drive it to times. Actually, well, at least when
I come to work.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Driving to work, it's a lot lighter at you know,
eleven thirty twelve o'clock today was not.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Bad at all. But it's a Monday going home.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm getting home ten minutes quicker really every day.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, I used to if i'd left right away here,
I'd get home by about four forty. Now I'm getting
home at four forty. It used to be about four fifty.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
So it's hit or miss for me. But we also
go you know I'm going, You're going much farther too, exactly,
and it's just very slow.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Maybe it's just the people that go my way, they
just drive so slow.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well farther you go west down the one to one
and then up into Ventura County. Yeah, the more long
distance commuters you run into, you know, people who are
living a little bit farther away because the housing is
more affordable.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Also, I've noticed the people, for whatever reason, are crawling
up until maybe white Oak Avenue. I do not understand this.
After white Oak. I mean, there's no accidents. This has
been going on for years after white Oak it opens.
There's no rhyme or reason to it. It drives me insane.
It's every day.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's every day. Every freeway has those weird anomalies.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Weird.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And I remember years ago when Mike Nolan did the
traffic for KFI, and I used to ask him about it,
because you know, he was up there twenty five years
so he could see those weird anomalies. And he goes,
I can't explain it. I've been looking at it like
all my life. I have no idea why traffic suddenly
stops and then suddenly breaks up, and it'll be the
same spot all the time. I don't know, and I've
(24:27):
never read an article. I've never you'd think by now
they would have computers and algorithms to explain traffic flow
and why it does what it does.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
But John, I stand corrected the more I think about it. Yes,
I think I do get home maybe five to ten
minutes earlier than normal, So I get what you're saying.
I still I still hate the commute.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It's still it's it's still, it's still terrible. But you know,
they two million illegal immigrants have left the country, mostly
by self deportation. For all the howling and screaming about
the actual deportation you see with Ice.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Most of them left on their own.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
And because we had such a disproportionate share of the
illegal alien population here in Los Angeles, it's had a
significant impact. I notice on the streets and in the
local neighborhoods there's absolutely less people.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
And you think there'd have to be right.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I mean, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people
I think have left Los Angeles. I mean they talk
about neighborhoods that you know where businesses have closed and
there's no foot traffic anymore, and there's really no life.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Because people moved out. Well, that has an effect on traffic.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
That's also going to have effect on our state budget,
our local budget. For example, the school enrollment here in
Los Angeles is down almost fifty percent over the last
twenty years, and partly as all the people who fled
the LA school system because it is such a third
world abomination and now you're going to have fewer and
(26:08):
fewer illegal immigrant children attending. But just you know, their
home countries should pay for their education and their health care.
It's I just resent the idea that we've got to
be this receptacle for the entire world's problems. What clearly
(26:29):
we can't manage our own we can't take care of
our own population. So you know this, you want to
call it America first? Yeah, Americans first. You know, when
everybody here is taking care of properly and educated properly,
and their health care exists in an affordable, efficient way,
then yeah we could start helping out others, but not
(26:51):
until then, and we're ten thousand miles away from that.
And if you think the other people deserve help, hey,
by all means, go ahead, don't and all the money
you want to gave a Newsom's treasury. I'm sure he'll
do the right thing with the money or give it
to you. All the fake nonprofits that steal the money,
go ahead. I'm just not gonna do it anymore. I
don't want to. I think so much money has been
(27:13):
wasted in the quality of life here in California's gotten
worse and worse and worse. So at some point people
have to say, no, stop it. We come back. Hundreds
of people gathered a MacArthur park with Bass howling about
these mobile vans that Salley and I spoke about. I'll
give you details on that coming up.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's it.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
They're so now the Bash has got these mobile vans
that are going to monitor federal law enforcement.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Okay, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI
AM six forty coming.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Up right after Differs News at two o'clock. You may
have heard that sacrament of TV station, the ABC affiliate
KXTV day somebody fired a shots into the lobby and
it turned out this guy was this This guy used
to be a lobbyist. He used to be a lobbyist
(28:14):
for the teachers Union, and he was running around firing
bullets into Channel ten and uh, you know, everybody thought
right away, well, this is some you know, crazed Jimmy
Kimmel defender. Uh not necessarily here. Uh, he's got a
whole bucket of issues.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And of course he's a lobbyist for the state government. Excellent,
All right, Well what was I What was I talking about?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I was talking about Karen Bass. Karen Bass. Uh, there
was some kind of public event in Uh what did
I do it?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
The dance story. It was in MacArthur Park, the vans,
the vans.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, she was, she was popping off. How could I
have this for like twenty minutes in front of me?
And then when I want to go on the air
and actually talk about it, the thing disappears on me
amidst this pile of excessive paperwork that I'd collected here,
and it's gone.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Oh no, where's Ray?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Well, your ray is supposed to get me another copy.
Immediately I think it was the one from patch dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
And I you know what, and when this happened as
soon as we go to a commercial break, Yeah, like
thirty seconds.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
In you're going to find it.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I'll find it, and it was usually right in front
of me.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Did you is it on the floor?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Floor is a good and the only reason are you
sitting on it?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
No, I'm not sitting on the only reason I want
to actually read from it and if I don't find
out to it the next hour, but is that it
had They were so proud of this. They have a
van with specific descriptions of what the van is capable
of doing. They're going to drive around and chase ICE
people and they'll be interfering with ICE operations. And Bill
(30:07):
Sally says, you know, when they could do all they want,
they could take this idea. We're in the video of
you activists love this. We're taking video lawyer this. We're
holding phones like, go ahead, hold phones. What you're recording
is the normal working of a law enforcement agency and
you're recording their daily duties.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
They always think, oh, we're going to catch you with
some sort of abusive behavior.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
No, that's extremely rare.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Do you want me to describe the van, Yes, you
describe the van for me. The vans have been named
Liberty Van one, two, and three. They're going to include
volunteers lawyers, clergy, and videographers and organizers from the Save
America movement are going to be training volunteers in the
coming weeks. The vans are scheduled to hit the streets
in early October.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah, they're going to have recording equipment. They're going to
have attorneys inside. Yes, and an absurd clergy clergy.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
What are they gonna bless the uh?
Speaker 7 (31:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, And it's all symbolic nonsense. So go ahead.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You don't get ten vans, really, let's let's let's raise
some money on a go fund me. Got Karen Bass
twenty events, doesn't matter. You could trail ice all over
the place, record them eating lunch, eating dinner.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You lose, see when when Trump got re elected.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Because you put up such an idiot of a candidate.
When he got reelected, you're cooked. You're done, loser for
at least four years. That's what you get. You had
a senile guy that you wouldn't admit with senile, and
you have really an empty headed dope of a replacement
(31:57):
candidate that you wouldn't admit was empty headed. Anybody intelligent
on the Democratic side could see that this was unsustainable
to take in millions, tens of millions of illegal aliens.
Of course was unsustainable. Of course much of the country
would rebel against it. Of course another administration would start
(32:18):
cracking down, Yeah, the whole. And I think something that,
as Saley said, I mean, we got to get into
this at another time, is how much extra money California
gets because of this Because the census is inflated. We're
you know, we're listed as having millions more than really
(32:39):
we should. So you get more money for that, you
get more congressional districts for that. Deborah Mark live in
the KFI twenty four hour 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
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
It's a good day to be here. We have a
lot to do, we have a lot to tell you about.
We're on every day between one and four o'clock and
if you miss any part of the show, that's what
the podcast is for. As soon as we're over shortly
after four, that's posted. It's called John Cobelt Show on Demand,
(00:23):
same as the radio show, and you could listen to
what you missed. And we are starting out with the
acting US Attorney for the Central District of California, which
includes Los Angeles and a lot of territory around Los Angeles,
someone we've had on the show for years when he
was in the legislature and now working in the Justice Department.
(00:45):
Bill Saley is coming on. Gavin Newsom and the Democratic
Legislature unveiled several bills to combat ice or Trump's secret
police force has new some likes to put it, including
the one they got the most headlines was he has
a dress code now for the ice agents. They can't
(01:07):
wear masks because he says so. This is written by
Scott Wiener and what's crazy is Wiener is a lawyer,
and he knows better. And in fact, if you spend
even an hour in constitution class, you will find out
that this is all complete nonsense. The state has no
right to tell the federal government how to dress its
(01:27):
law enforcement agents. Let's go to Bill Sale, the acting
US Attorney. Here, Bill, how are you?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I'm doing well? John, how are you?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
I'm doing good? This is nonsense, a complete nonsense. They
can't tell they can't tell ice how to dress.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
No, it is nonsense. They know it's nonsense, by the way,
but they don't care. It's all about scoring political points
and inflaming the public. And so they said, you know what,
We're going to pass this bill, and we're going to
ban federal and local agents from wearing masks because all
of a sudden, now masks are scary, when when they
made us all mask up for years, Yes, now masks
(02:06):
are scary. But very interesting, John, I don't know if
you picked up on this. There's one agency that's exempt
from the law.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
What's that HP?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
And who's the agency that's responsible for protecting the governor.
It's HP. So I just find it so fascinating that
he's so concerned about this issue, but when it comes
to the men and women who are responsible for protecting
his safety, he doesn't want to burden them with this
new law, so he exempt them from it. I just
thought that was very fascinating.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Well, it's the usual massive hypocrisy. He must assume that
the public is so ignorant that a certain percentage you're
going to fall for this.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Well, some might, but I've made it abundantly clear that
the federal government is not subject to laws or regulations
by the state government under the supremacy clause Federal Law Supreme.
If Gavin Newsom wants to regulate federal agents, he needs
to go win a federal election. But he has not
done that, and until he does that, he cannot pass
(03:04):
laws to tell us how to do our job. And
so I've sent out a directive to our agencies we
will not comply with that new state law there to
disregard it, and we will continue doing our job as
business as usual.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Who would enforce that?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I'm trying to imagine, like, would he have the state
police pull over federal agents and rip their masks off.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't understand. Are they going to arrest federal agents?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I don't think so. I think he knows that would
be untenable. We're not going to be arrested by any
local or state officer, and if anyone tries to interfere
with us, we'll arrest them. So that's you know, you know,
in the battle of guns, John, I think we win.
The federal government's going to leave the state government. You know,
(03:49):
we got the National Guard. We've got all kinds of
resources here, so he's not going to pick a fight
with the federal government. He's Look, what Newsom wants is
what he got. A press conference, a bunch of articles,
a bunch of parrots parroting whatever talking points he said.
And then you know what, in a month, you know,
in six months or a year from now, when this
gets struck down in court or whatever, you know, it'll
(04:10):
be forgotten. So he got what he wanted for the moment,
but this is never going to happen. It's not enforceable.
He knows that.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
He doesn't care, so he put out a a post
on x that said, Christine Noom is going to have
a bad day today, meaning they were going to announce
this set of new laws.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
You're welcome America, and you referred that message to the
Secret Service, talk about that.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
I did you know. I was shocked when I saw that.
First of all, I had no idea what it was
in reference to. There was no context to it. And
those were the same exact type of messages that we've
seen floating online the days before Charlie Kirk's assassination saying
he was going to have a bad day at that
university campus. And so when I saw and I think
they know that that that, I don't think they accidentally
put those words together. It's mimicking identical posts that we've
(04:58):
seen related to the Charlie kisset. So when he does that,
and so this ominous threat against the sitting cabinet member,
sitting Secretary of Homeland Security saying she's going to have
a bad day, I don't know what that means. So
that's the Secret Services job is to go figure out
what that means, whether there was a nefarious intent behind
it or not. They should get to the bottom of it.
(05:19):
And I made that referral to Secret Service and they're
following through with it. And whether or not they intended
it to be a threat, people may have interpreted as
a threat as a threat and so we do worry
about what people would do when they get messages like
that from the governor of the state of.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
California, and it could incite somebody, Yes, it could incite somebody.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
So no, we need to take these things seriously. I
don't know, John, I grew up in a day in
a time, you know, and I remember this as a kid,
if anyone said any threat about the president, you had
the Secret Service on your doorsteps knocking, wanting to know
what you're talking about and what your intentions are. And
so we need to get back to those days. If
you even imply a threat, you're going to get a
visit from the Feds and you're gonna have to explain
(05:58):
what that's about. We're just at that state now, we're
having people being assassinated for their political beliefs.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
There's so there's so much animation from Bass, from Newsom
and Bass. I mean, you may have seen that Bass
was at MacArthur Park yesterday and just screaming and screaming
about ice agents and enforcing federal law. This seems to
be the only issue that gets her, that makes her
come alive. Certainly wasn't the fire and Newsom too, I
(06:28):
mean he was. He five laws they passed over the
weekend regarding immigration.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
And is it interesting? I wish they would fight this
hard or be as upset on issues affecting Americans or taxpayers.
You never see them get this upset. Now, Why are
they so beholden to illegal immigrants? There must be another
reason here. I mean, you'll have to speculate on that,
but something's up.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I'm kind of baffled.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
I get what their position is, but why are they
pushing this hard, this loudly, and doing things that are
just blatantly illegal, unconstitutional. You can't tell ice agents that
they can't wear masks. That right doesn't exist.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
It doesn't exist. And I think what this is about, John,
is they're getting a lot of benefits from having millions
of illegal immigrants here, whether that's counted in the census
or reimbursements or whatever nonsense. But they've just they've committed
themselves to this, and they can't fathom the idea that
we're actually going to deport these people out of our country.
You know, they've worked for years to open the border
and get these people in here. Maybe they think they're
(07:34):
going to be future citizens and voters. I don't know
what their long term plans are. They're very upset about it.
And what they're doing is they can't win at the
ballot box. They're not winning in court. We got them
reversed at the Supreme Court when they try to stop us.
So now what they're doing is just inciting the public.
They're putting out the gasoline, they're putting out the matches,
and they're getting people all worked up, and they know
(07:54):
what they're doing. They're signaling for people to go attack
our agents. We've had over a thousand percent an increase
on assaults in our agents. We filed almost one hundred
cases here in my office for assaults or interference. People
feel emboldened to step up to stand up to our agents,
and that's because of the likings of Gavin Newsom and
Mayor bass who are telling the people that we are
(08:15):
an illegitimate force and we are to be repelled from
the state of California.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Aaron basset Is are going to have three vans following
around ice agents when the agents try to do their
work and inside are going to boo.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
They're going to be taking video.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Of course, they're going to have attorneys, they're going to
have like a whole team of people ready to spring
into action to stop you guys from enforcing the law.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Well, they're not going to stop anything. We're still going
to deport them. I guess, Well they can get a
nice video of us picking up the illegals. I think
it helps us. I like it when they take those
videos and then go put them on the TV. People
need to know we're serious about enforcing immigration laws. We're
not going to stop. And if they want to show
up and document it, that's fine. If they get in
our way, they'll be arrested. And so everything they've done
(09:01):
has failed. Everything they've done has failed. We're only on
stronger legal footing now because the case law that they're
helping us make that we're allowed to do what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Because legally they have no power. I mean, they really
have no power, and they're really slailing away.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
They're flailing right, but they're in a position. They thought
at first they're going to use these Antifa and other
groups to start riots, and that was going to stop
us from doing it. And what did we do. We
called the National Guard almost right away, and that calm
things down. So now things are calm. You actually see
them enforcing you know, unlawful assemblies, and they don't want
to give the president another justification to send out more
(09:38):
military out here. So now I think what they're pivoting
to is sort of like this targeted opposition. So they
want to go, you know, when we do it in
operation somewhere, send a van out. Okay, whatever, what is
it going to accomplish nothing. We're following the law. We're
compliance with the law. They can document it if they want.
At the end of the day, if you're here unlawfully,
(09:58):
you're subject to deportation. That's what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Bill Sanley, the acting US Attorney for the Central District
here in California, Los Angeles and almost surrounding areas, thank
you for coming on again.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Thank you, John. I'll just do a little pitch. We're hiring,
so if there's any lawyers out there that want to
be prosecutors and our patriots, come come, come apply.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You're hiring prosecutors.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Oh yeah, we're down about one hundred lawyers. We've had
many people leave for various reasons, and we are hiring
patriots to come more here at the US Attorney's Office.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
All right, Bill, thank you, for coming on again.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Thank you, John, all right, take care, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
And we will talk more about this nonsense when we
come back. And it is complete and utter nonsense, and
shame on the news media the way they're covering this
is if it's a real thank you.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
We are on every day from one until four, and
the moistline is eight seven seven moist eighty six, eight
seven seven moist eighty six eight seven seven sixty six
four seven eight eighty six, or use the talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app play them back on Friday. We've
just had Bill Assalion. He's the acting US Attorney for
the Central District here in California, which covers Los Angeles
(11:10):
and all the adjoining counties.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
And uh, if I.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Wanted, we wanted to get him on right away so
you could hear it from a guy at the top
of the business when it comes to federal law. UH,
somebody who is in charge of US law enforcement here
in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. What Gavin Newsom announced
over the weekend about the state banning ice agents from
(11:38):
wearing face masks is complete horsecrap, total total bs. There
is no such thing. Newsom and Bass have all these
concepts which they deliver very loudly and passionately. Right, and
if they do it publicly, they got people cheering them on.
(11:59):
Billy thing is it doesn't really exist in federal law.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
They're not a thing.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
There's no such thing as having a sanctuary state so
that illegal immigrants cannot be arrested.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
There's no such thing.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
There's no such thing in the Constitution that the state
can tell the federal government had address. It's law enforcement officers.
It's made up, it's invented. I'm going to read you,
and we really do this. This is a special moment.
I'm going to read you a paragraph from the Constitution.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
We've never done this before, have we don't?
Speaker 7 (12:35):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
This is Article six, Section one, Clause two. It's known
as the Supremacy Clause. Now listen closely because this is
written by lawyers, you know, two hundred and fifty years ago.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But it's short.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
This Constitution and the Laws of the United States, which
shall be made in pursuance thereof, and all treaties made
or which shall be made under the authority of the
United States shall be the supreme law of the land.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
All right, we all follow that.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All federal laws, the Federal Constitution, federal treaties supreme law
of the land, and the judges in every state.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Shall be bound thereby.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
And anything in the constitution or laws of any state
to the contrary notwithstanding. In other words, all the judges
here in California as well as the federal judges are
bound by federal law. And it doesn't matter what it
says in state California law or in the California State Constitution.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
They could pass all the symbolic nonsense they want, and
that's all it is. And what really, really really pisses
me on is they present all this on the news
shows with newsomen his all his defiant glory, and they
don't ever point out that what he just announced, what
(14:14):
he just passed with the legislature is total garbage, will
never be law, cannot be enforced.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Just think it through for a minute.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Is the state police is LAPD going to go up
to ice officers and do what, start.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
A shootout, rip their mask off, detain.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Them, which is why they put it in the constitution.
Otherwise you'd have standoffs between federal officials law enforcement officials
and state law enforcement officials or local ones. So in
order that that doesn't happen, you have to have a
(14:58):
hierarchy sentence stone Federal is first, period, State is next.
So if there's ever a some kind of dispute between
which law applies to federal state federal officers versus state officers,
dispute was settled. Was settled back in the seventeen hundreds,
(15:21):
and it's never been changed. And Newsom knows this. And
Scott Weener when he passed this excrement out of his bow,
he knew this too.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I bet you all the TV.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Reporters and the community college graduates over at the LA Times,
and I bet you all the producers and the story
editors and the assignment editors and probably most of the
anchors with a few, but they don't know this. Oh gee,
we had breaking news today. He had it new some
(15:55):
had they passed the law banning the federal ice agents
we wearing masks. It passed today in the legislature, and
Newsom held it stop. Don't be a clown if you
saw anyone breathlessly telling you this story, and they didn't
say except it's unconstitutional. There's no such thing. Then you
(16:18):
are watching a clown, you are listening to a clown,
you are reading a clown. Doesn't it make sense though?
Can you imagine if state legislatures could pass laws over
writing the federal government operations, California would have to secede.
(16:42):
Newsom would have to be declared president of this new
nation or emperor or whatever he wants, and then in
California he could make these declarations regarding California law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He cannot do anything.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
It's like, it's not even about agreeing or disagreeing with it.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
It's stupid.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
I mean, they wear the masks because Newsom and Bass
are funding protest groups that will docs these people, get
their addresses, get their photos, and then terrorize their wives
and husbands and children. It's because of the protest groups
that Newsom and Bass fund with our tax money, and
(17:26):
they do fund with our tax money. Start with CHURLA,
for example, thirty four million dollars in state tax money.
So that's why the rapid response teams that Karen Bass
does commercials for every time she has a press conference,
rapid response teams from CHURLA. That's to send out people
(17:48):
to snap photos or videos and try to identify ICE
agents so that that other members of these organizations related
organizations can go in and start terrorizing the families. So
that's why they wear masks. And I know for sure
that's too much to put in a TV newscast when
(18:08):
you just have a bunch of low paid, low paid,
really really dimwits with little experience. It's certainly the little
understanding of the law, which is what we're plagued with
in Los Angeles media. It's just atrocious out there, the
stuff I see. All Right, more coming up.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio at John
Cobelt Radio. We had Belli Sale on at the start
of the show and he talked about Gavin Newsom's new
package of immigration bills, featuring the one that got all
the attention that ICE agents will not be allowed to
(18:53):
wear masks in California while doing their federal duty of
enforcing immigration law. And as Sale said, there's no such thing.
The state cannot tell ICE agents not to wear masks.
It's unconstitutional. It's the supremacy clause. Take thirty seconds look
it up. Read it. It's not that many words. Most
(19:13):
of the words aren't that big, and Newsom is just
lined everybody. It's just you know, it's it's I know
it's a cheap campaign stunt, but it's stupid because you
find out within a few seconds like, oh, you made
that up. I mean, if you're a Newsome supporter, he's
trying to get you riled up for some concept that
(19:35):
doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's just an idiot.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Now, Karen Bass was at a press conference, I guess
the same one k Newsom signing these immigration bills.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Let's listen to her.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
But the fact that we need bills to protect people's
rights of privacy from information sharing, masking of federal agents
if they our federal agents, protecting kids so that they
can come to school. You heard the superintendent say how
when school was ready to start, we had a press
(20:10):
conference at another school to reassure parents that they would
be safe in sending their kids to school.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
All of this legislative resistance is to protect Angelino's from
our own federal government. That is profound because this reflects
a moment in history that we will all remember.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
A lot of overheated, dramatic rhetoric. I mean much of this.
The phrases that Newsom is using, he's run out of,
like incendiary descriptions to describe the ICE agents. It's what
Bill Saley and I talked about. They have zero legal
legs to stand on here, which is why they're just
(20:56):
trying to yell louder, get more colorful in their turns
a phrase in their tweets, trying really to distract people
from the one fact. One fact they're trying to distract
you from. They have no power because of the way
the Constitution was constructed and the supremacy clause. They can
(21:23):
try to get you to cry over children, get you
cry over little ladies, they can get you to cry
over whatever they want to cry. They have no power.
They can't stop it. They're not going to stop it.
They have increased the federal budget for ice exponentially. They
(21:46):
are hiring ice agents by the thousands. They're offering big
pay packages. It's happening, it's going to keep happening, and
most of the other states are going along with it
because it's what they want.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
In Florida.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Ron DeSantis is helping out ICE, and so Florida taxpayers
are not going to have to pay thirty five billion
dollars a year like we pay here to support illegal
aliens all their benefits, their healthcare, their schooling. I mean
(22:24):
that should be unconstitutional that you and I are being
taxed to pay for people who broke in here from
another country that I find offensive. Maybe you don't, and
you're welcome to keep sending your money to the state treasury.
But me, I am all for all these these raids
(22:46):
going on because it's costing us a tremendous amount of money.
I notice traffic is lighter, absolutely, really, yeah.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
I have not noticed that, not really, well, I think
we drive it to times. Actually, well, at least when
I come to work.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Driving to work, it's a lot lighter at you know,
eleven thirty twelve o'clock today was not.
Speaker 7 (23:08):
Bad at all. But it's a Monday going home.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I'm getting home ten minutes quicker really every day.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, I used to if i'd left right away here,
I'd get home by about four forty. Now I'm getting
home at four forty. It used to be about four fifty.
Speaker 7 (23:22):
So it's hit or miss for me. But we also
go you know I'm going, You're going much farther too, exactly,
and it's just very slow.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Maybe it's just the people that go my way, they
just drive so slow.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Well farther you go west down the one to one
and then up into Ventura County. Yeah, the more long
distance commuters you run into, you know, people who are
living a little bit farther away because the housing is
more affordable.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Also, I've noticed the people, for whatever reason, are crawling
up until maybe white Oak Avenue. I do not understand this.
After white Oak. I mean, there's no accidents. This has
been going on for years after white Oak it opens.
There's no rhyme or reason to it. It drives me insane.
It's every day.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It's every day. Every freeway has those weird anomalies.
Speaker 7 (24:06):
Weird.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
And I remember years ago when Mike Nolan did the
traffic for KFI, and I used to ask him about it,
because you know, he was up there twenty five years
so he could see those weird anomalies. And he goes,
I can't explain it. I've been looking at it like
all my life. I have no idea why traffic suddenly
stops and then suddenly breaks up, and it'll be the
same spot all the time. I don't know, and I've
(24:27):
never read an article. I've never you'd think by now
they would have computers and algorithms to explain traffic flow
and why it does what it does.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
But John, I stand corrected the more I think about it. Yes,
I think I do get home maybe five to ten
minutes earlier than normal, So I get what you're saying.
I still I still hate the commute.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
It's still it's it's still, it's still terrible. But you know,
they two million illegal immigrants have left the country, mostly
by self deportation. For all the howling and screaming about
the actual deportation you see with Ice.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Most of them left on their own.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
And because we had such a disproportionate share of the
illegal alien population here in Los Angeles, it's had a
significant impact. I notice on the streets and in the
local neighborhoods there's absolutely less people.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
And you think there'd have to be right.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
I mean, we're talking about hundreds of thousands of people
I think have left Los Angeles. I mean they talk
about neighborhoods that you know where businesses have closed and
there's no foot traffic anymore, and there's really no life.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Because people moved out. Well, that has an effect on traffic.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
That's also going to have effect on our state budget,
our local budget. For example, the school enrollment here in
Los Angeles is down almost fifty percent over the last
twenty years, and partly as all the people who fled
the LA school system because it is such a third
world abomination and now you're going to have fewer and
(26:08):
fewer illegal immigrant children attending. But just you know, their
home countries should pay for their education and their health care.
It's I just resent the idea that we've got to
be this receptacle for the entire world's problems. What clearly
(26:29):
we can't manage our own we can't take care of
our own population. So you know this, you want to
call it America first? Yeah, Americans first. You know, when
everybody here is taking care of properly and educated properly,
and their health care exists in an affordable, efficient way,
then yeah we could start helping out others, but not
(26:51):
until then, and we're ten thousand miles away from that.
And if you think the other people deserve help, hey,
by all means, go ahead, don't and all the money
you want to gave a Newsom's treasury. I'm sure he'll
do the right thing with the money or give it
to you. All the fake nonprofits that steal the money,
go ahead. I'm just not gonna do it anymore. I
don't want to. I think so much money has been
(27:13):
wasted in the quality of life here in California's gotten
worse and worse and worse. So at some point people
have to say, no, stop it. We come back. Hundreds
of people gathered a MacArthur park with Bass howling about
these mobile vans that Salley and I spoke about. I'll
give you details on that coming up.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
It's it.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
They're so now the Bash has got these mobile vans
that are going to monitor federal law enforcement.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
Okay, you're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI
AM six forty coming.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Up right after Differs News at two o'clock. You may
have heard that sacrament of TV station, the ABC affiliate
KXTV day somebody fired a shots into the lobby and
it turned out this guy was this This guy used
to be a lobbyist. He used to be a lobbyist
(28:14):
for the teachers Union, and he was running around firing
bullets into Channel ten and uh, you know, everybody thought
right away, well, this is some you know, crazed Jimmy
Kimmel defender. Uh not necessarily here. Uh, he's got a
whole bucket of issues.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And of course he's a lobbyist for the state government. Excellent,
All right, Well what was I What was I talking about?
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (28:42):
I was talking about Karen Bass. Karen Bass. Uh, there
was some kind of public event in Uh what did
I do it?
Speaker 1 (28:53):
The dance story. It was in MacArthur Park, the vans,
the vans.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah, she was, she was popping off. How could I
have this for like twenty minutes in front of me?
And then when I want to go on the air
and actually talk about it, the thing disappears on me
amidst this pile of excessive paperwork that I'd collected here,
and it's gone.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Oh no, where's Ray?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Well, your ray is supposed to get me another copy.
Immediately I think it was the one from patch dot com.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
And I you know what, and when this happened as
soon as we go to a commercial break, Yeah, like
thirty seconds.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
In you're going to find it.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
I'll find it, and it was usually right in front
of me.
Speaker 7 (29:37):
Did you is it on the floor?
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Floor is a good and the only reason are you
sitting on it?
Speaker 2 (29:45):
No, I'm not sitting on the only reason I want
to actually read from it and if I don't find
out to it the next hour, but is that it
had They were so proud of this. They have a
van with specific descriptions of what the van is capable
of doing. They're going to drive around and chase ICE
people and they'll be interfering with ICE operations. And Bill
(30:07):
Sally says, you know, when they could do all they want,
they could take this idea. We're in the video of
you activists love this. We're taking video lawyer this. We're
holding phones like, go ahead, hold phones. What you're recording
is the normal working of a law enforcement agency and
you're recording their daily duties.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
They always think, oh, we're going to catch you with
some sort of abusive behavior.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
No, that's extremely rare.
Speaker 7 (30:35):
Do you want me to describe the van, Yes, you
describe the van for me. The vans have been named
Liberty Van one, two, and three. They're going to include
volunteers lawyers, clergy, and videographers and organizers from the Save
America movement are going to be training volunteers in the
coming weeks. The vans are scheduled to hit the streets
in early October.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Yeah, they're going to have recording equipment. They're going to
have attorneys inside. Yes, and an absurd clergy clergy.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
What are they gonna bless the uh?
Speaker 7 (31:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, And it's all symbolic nonsense. So go ahead.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
You don't get ten vans, really, let's let's let's raise
some money on a go fund me. Got Karen Bass
twenty events, doesn't matter. You could trail ice all over
the place, record them eating lunch, eating dinner.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
You lose, see when when Trump got re elected.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Because you put up such an idiot of a candidate.
When he got reelected, you're cooked. You're done, loser for
at least four years. That's what you get. You had
a senile guy that you wouldn't admit with senile, and
you have really an empty headed dope of a replacement
(31:57):
candidate that you wouldn't admit was empty headed. Anybody intelligent
on the Democratic side could see that this was unsustainable
to take in millions, tens of millions of illegal aliens.
Of course was unsustainable. Of course much of the country
would rebel against it. Of course another administration would start
(32:18):
cracking down, Yeah, the whole. And I think something that,
as Saley said, I mean, we got to get into
this at another time, is how much extra money California
gets because of this Because the census is inflated. We're
you know, we're listed as having millions more than really
(32:39):
we should. So you get more money for that, you
get more congressional districts for that. Deborah Mark live in
