Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't find AM six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome Ron every day
from one until four o'clock and then after four o'clock
John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app and
you can listen to whatever you missed. We got two
rounds of the moistline coming up in the three o'clock hour,
and I don't know if you heard it. Today is
(00:22):
a little bit shorter than it normally is. I mean,
the entire day, the Earth is slightly speeding up. I
don't know, it's like eighteen hundredths of a millisecond or something.
I the scientist did. So this day is a little
shorter than it should be. So we've got to work
a little faster, work a little harder to get you know,
(00:42):
all the information. And okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm going to speed up my newscast by.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Eighteen hundredths of a milliseconds something like that. Okay, you
know when we were on the air at this time
yesterday was when they had the ice raid up at
the cannabis farm near Camario up in Ventura County, and
Michael Monks was trying to track the news, and we're
(01:11):
trying to figure out because Channel five had a helicopters
shot for hours over most of the time, you couldn't
see anything, and nobody knew exactly why. And I said
to Michael though when he came on the air, I said,
could this be a workflit workplace enforcement raid like they
had downtown? Which that raid is what started the rioting,
(01:36):
because protesters got word of a raid. It was at
a textiles company and a clothing company there, and it
turned out that they were going after the owners of
the company for hiring legal aliens and for a tax investigation.
They weren't actually rounding up workers. They're going after the owners.
(02:01):
And I don't know why. I just thought, I wonder
if it must be something like that. Well, it was
absolutely something like that, But because our taxes go to
pay for these rapid response networks, hundreds of protesters showed
up in the Camoio area to scream at the immigration
(02:21):
agents and this led to I got to read you
the early headlines and then the later headlines immigration rate
at cannabis farm in Ventura County sparks chaotic protest. You noticed,
chaotic protest becomes the lead Kaduk protest becomes the most
important part of the story. Now, these protesters are largely
(02:45):
paid by organized groups, and I've always found it fascinating
how the jackasses in the media never write about that,
talk about that, describe it, investigate it. You have paid
actors and their job is to make a big ruckus
over something that I doubt they particularly care about because
(03:07):
these stories come and go. And what I'm told by
law enforcement, what I've seen law enforcement talk about in
interviews is it's the same characters who show up. The
subject matter changes. For example, the Palestine, the Palestine riots
you know at the colleges, or you have the legal
(03:28):
immigration riots. You have riots against Tesla and mosque, have
riots about Trump, you know, bring back say of our democracy, nonsense,
climate change. It's the same people, same organizations. They're professional agitators,
professional disruptors who are well financed by wealthy people. I
(03:51):
don't know they did do this for sport. They've got
a set of wacky ideas, and that's the truth. Everybody
in law enforcement says, you'll see the same people over
and over again, so they're they're always covered in the
news media though it is like, ah, this looks like
a spontaneous grassroots protest by people who were truly do
you think there's anybody on the planet who gives a
(04:12):
crap either way about illegal aliens being raided at a plotfarm? Honestly,
who's emotionally invested in that? Really, you're gonna go all
the way to Ventura County to scream at agents. I
think the agents were like a quarter mile half mile away.
You're gonna scream at a distance at agents who are
(04:36):
We don't even know if they were at the time.
He didn't know what they were doing. It's like, this
is all theater, this is all stage, this is all absurd.
The first thing that the idiot governor Gavin Newsom posts
is kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone
(04:58):
because their mother was just taken from the fields. Trump
calls me new scum, but he's the real scum. We
had to wait a few hours to find out the story,
and even then it's hard to find The La Times
updated story updated as of let me see it's one
eleven ten minutes ago. Headline is two hundred arrested in
(05:23):
chaotic immigration raid. One worker reportedly dies in a fall.
Some guy tried to escape a building, and he fell
and died. But you have to go one, two, three, four, five,
six paragraphs seven oh seven. You know what they found
(05:47):
at the farm, which ought to be the real story,
Which is the real story. Ten miners without documentation were
found at the farm during the raid, eight of them unaccompanied.
The real story is this was a site for child
slave labor. They had children working as slaves growing pot.
(06:15):
This is according to the US Customers and Border Protection
Commissioner Rodney Scott. The facility is now under investigation of
child labor violations. They gave it one paragraph, seven paragraphs down,
and then they went back to the plight of the
people who were rounded up. You've got ten kids, eight
(06:40):
of them without parents or guardians, working as slaves on
a platform in America, and Gavin Newsom uses the event
to call Trump the real scum. Even child slave labor
doesn't bother these left wing progressive fanatics like Newsome. Even
(07:03):
child slave labor, and god forbid, the Times would make
that the headline of their top of the website story.
How about slave labor ring busted at pot farm in Ventura.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Two hundred arrested, two hundred, What all two hundred illegal
aliens breaking the law, and you had adults there forcing
these kids to work, and they are being forced. I
don't think these kids volunteered to travel from their home
countries here to America and stand out in the hot
(07:45):
sun in one hundred degree weather and maintain a pot farm.
And by the way, pot is federally illegal as well.
The way, this place was described as a Glasshouse farm,
a large licensed cannabis greenhouse in cama Rio, another Glasshouse
(08:05):
Farms growing site there also were hit by federal agents
in carpenter Rhea. Spare me as if it's a legitimate business,
a pot farm, So they sell their pot all day
or they grow their pot all day. And what I
have to deal with every day is stoned out jackasses
(08:26):
at every business I go to, who can't even work
the register because they're so bleary eyed from the pot
they're renailing all day. That's the contribution to society. So
we have these stone zombies stumbling around the country. Anyway,
(08:47):
It's a child slave labor shop, that's what it is.
That's what Glasshouse Farms was running. So we'll tell you
the truth here, even if that idiot knews them and
the idiots at the la time. How is that not
the headline? How is not that the most important thing?
How's not that something that should ought to be pissed
(09:08):
off about? They smuggle these poor kids across the border.
Who knows what their lives have been like? Who knows
what happens to them at night? Where are they sleeping
all night? Are they being sexually abused to? Are they
being physically beaten as well? Eh? No? Who are the
writers here? Jeannette Morontos, Melissa Gomez apparently no interest in
(09:32):
that child slave child slaves found seventh paragraph.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You may want to start tweeting Gavin Newsom on his
X account because he's really thin skinned, or he has
aides who are thin skinned, because he's getting into all
kinds of arguments. Now, I don't know if he's actually
spending the day scrolling X and then when he sees
(10:10):
his name he gets all pissed off and fires back.
I mean, he says he's dyslexic, and so I don't
know if he can read or write all that well.
But maybe he's got some lacky doing it for him
because because he's he's really getting pissed off. Somebody posted
(10:30):
anti ICE protester just pulled a gun on ICE agents
in California. Well, Gavin Newsom condemned this, and then he
writes back, of course I condemn any assault on law
enforce but you bleep poster drops the drops the S word.
Then he says, now, dude, January sixth, He's always he's
(10:51):
always got some like comeback, uh to some like some
left wing progressive comeback. He didn't post anything about the
guy who pulled out a gun and was shooting at
ICE agents. Somebody else posted it first. He wasn't outraged
(11:12):
enough to denounce it. Here's another one he responded to.
Somebody posted about Newsom unveiling one hundred and one million
dollars to build Palisades low income housing. Was this the
plan all along? Where the fire's plan so the land
could be taken over and redeveloped. This is not a
(11:32):
good look for California Democrat politicians. This is what I've
been talking about, is you have Karen Bass withholding permits
to rebuild, and you have Gavin Newsom giving one hundred
million dollars for low income housing to be built in
(11:53):
these residential neighborhoods in the Palisades. Both are true. There's
very few permit's coming out of Karen Bass's office despite
all our promises. Why is that because I think they
don't want They don't want wealthy people moving back to
the Palisades. They want to redesign it as some sort
(12:14):
of affordable housing paradise and do some steps right in
with one hundred million dollars. And the third piece of
the puzzle, which is also true, Scott Wiener has a
bill that would allow you to sell your house to
any developer who could then put up a big, tall
apartment building for low income people. So if you don't
(12:39):
we talked about this at length the other day. If
Karen Bass doesn't hand out a permit and people can't
get insurance payments or their insurance was cut off or diminished,
what are they gonna do? Can't get a permit to rebuild,
don't have the money to rebuild, They're gonna sell cheaply
(12:59):
to a developer. Because everybody says, well, how can you
make money putting up low income housing? It's well, these
people are going to be forced to sell at very
low prices unfortunately. And I don't know how many people
they're going to stuff in these apartments, but at some point,
you stuff enough people in a big enough building, maybe
(13:19):
you can make money on it, especially if you're getting
one hundred million dollars from Gavin Newsom. So the Scott
Wiener bill is real. The one hundred and one million
dollars from Newsom is real. Karen Bess not releasing permits real.
Gavin Newsom's response to this, to this poster just a
(13:43):
total and complete lie. No laws have changed to require
new low income housing. No laws have changed to require well,
Scott Wiener's bill hasn't passed yet, and it's not going
to require low income housing, but it's going to make
(14:05):
it a really attractive option for somebody who's been burned out.
Partly because Newsom did not have the state lands around
the Palisades cleared properly of brush. There was a lot
of fuel on state land that was not cleared. That
(14:27):
was Newsom's responsibility. So the fire happens. And now the
corrupt insurance agents, the corrupt insurance industry, State Farm. Look
at State Farm. They pulled seventy percent of their policies
in the palace age. Why because they could see the
fire risks coming, They saw that the reservoir was empty,
they saw that the lands were not cleared, so they
(14:50):
got out of the business. So now people were thrown
into the California Fair Plan. They're going to get a
very tiny insurance settlement relatively relative to the worth of
their house. And now they can sell it to a developer.
They can't get a permit, they can't get insurance coverage.
(15:11):
They're going to sell to a developer. And Scott Wiener
is going to say the developer can put up the
low income apartment building, and the Newsom goes No. Laws
have changed in Capital Letters to require new low income housing.
Very clever, very Bill Clinton. Like nobody said low income
(15:32):
housing is going to be required. You've created a climate
where it's going to happen. What else is a homeowner
in the Palisades supposed to do? Sell it to a developer.
Now there's one hundred million dollars coming from Newsom. Don't
you think there's going to be more? No mandates to
rebuild entire buildings as affordable exist. You don't, very clever,
(15:53):
You don't need a mandate. You just create a climate
where it's impossible for a Palisades homeowner to build. You
don't get a permit, what are you going to do?
If you don't get an insurance pay out? What are
you going to do? If now you have an option
to sell it to a developer, fine take it. I
don't care what you do with it. I'm getting out
(16:14):
of here. This is how Noston knows all this. So
now he's using X as a way to promote lying,
misleading propaganda. This grant doesn't change anything. It simply helps.
It helps impact the communities recover and meet their pre
(16:35):
existing housing plans. It's absolutely shameful how the right wing
misinformation machine, Oh there's that obsession again continues to weaponize
the recovery. There's that new trendy clever word weaponized the
recovery of a beautiful community like the Palisades. Oh it's
beautiful now, Huh, Well you didn't clear out the brush
(16:59):
like you of and uh Bass went to Africa and
uh nobody filled the reservoir, nobody turned off the power,
and nobody set the fire department in early So it
was beautiful. I'm gonna I usually don't read much on
Twitter and not Gavin Newsom. But uh, it looks like
he wants to wants to engage, he wants to fight,
(17:23):
show that he's he's tough, he's willing to take on Trump.
He is such a sniveling little wienie. He really is
a sniveling weenie. And he lies and he misleads, we come,
we come back. We got some clips about Newsom on
something called the Tennessee Holler podcast. So after after he
(17:48):
goes to South Carolina campaign, he does a Tennessee podcast
and he's writing angry Twitter posts for the people criticizing
him back here. But he had no posts angry about
the child slave labor none. Do you think he really cares?
(18:11):
You think he cares?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
after four o'clock John cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app, and you could listen to what you missed.
So Newsom continued his presidential campaign while California burns and rots,
And yeah, I guess he's either campaigning in South Carolina,
(18:41):
he's on a podcast in Tennessee, or he's cursing online,
getting angry with people who bait him. Really, you know what,
he reminds me of a ventriloquist dummy. You remember ventriloquists.
They were a big thing on television when I was
(19:01):
growing up, and I could see him on a ventriloquist
knee with the ventriloquist just pulling the string to make
his mouth move. And it's about the same amount of intelligence.
He should be praising the Trump administration and Tom Holman
(19:22):
for busting up to this pot farm that was employing
all these children, illegal alien children. Didn't have any mothers there,
didn't have any fathers there. They're working his slaves near
Camario on Ventura. News media is criticizing the hell out
of this. It was like this fantastic child rescue operation,
(19:46):
these kids pulled out of slavery. Yet every time every
time Newsom is in front of a microphone, either he
or the ventriloquist pulling on this dummies string, it starts
criticizing the ice rates. Yeah, this guy's really presidential material.
(20:07):
You're gonna play cut number one. This is a podcast
called The Tennessee Holler. The Tennessee Holler podcast hosted by
Justin canue and he's discussing the ice rates. Let's play
and see what this is.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
If the shoe was on the other foot, a democratic
president conditioning aid to Republican states. The view from Afar,
even from outside the country, of what's happening in La,
it looks like martial law.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
In many respects it is. It just depends which lens
you see the world.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean, people talk about we crossed that threshold, that
red line on authoritarianism for you.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And me, No, for the Latino community in LA, full
of people quite literally aren't going to the graduations. They're
not getting groceries.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
They're having other people drive them from out racially profound
in their cars. And it's happening at a ferocity and
scale that shock and awe, and it just gets lost
sometimes because there's a new.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Terror policy or there's this another truth social. It's so critical,
we just keep our eye on the ball, and these
are massive. Hold on, Hold on a second. How many
different subjects did he talk about? Eric thinks this was
a heavily edited podcast, but he's jumping around all over
the place, truth, social, and tariffs. I don't understand this
(21:28):
whole authoritarian I realize it's just political stick. You have
to have a catchy phrase, a catchy concept to stir
up the idiots. But it's fascinating how Newsom pretends that
this isn't the law, this isn't the federal law, and
this isn't the government's obligation to enforce. He just he
(21:50):
pretends it just doesn't exist. Newsom created this climate for
all this illegal, alien lawlessness, which by the way, was
facilitated by the drug cartels, the human smuggling cartels who
made billions of dollars transporting children, and the poor kids
(22:13):
who were sweating to death at the potfarm. That's the
least of it. All the kids who were traffied for sex,
all the young girls and boys traffied for sex. And
I don't expect Newsom's crowd to get upset over that,
because the Democrats in the Assembly, in the state Senate
were voting against We're voting against buying children for sex,
(22:39):
against making it a felony. Remember that a couple of
months ago, until they got their asses whipped, you had
dozens and dozens of Democratic legislators who would not make
would not make it a felony to buy a child
for sex. So I'm not really surprised that they're not
denouncing child slaves at the pot farm in Ventura County.
(23:05):
If you're willing to have kids bought and sold for sex,
of course you were having you're willing to have kids
be brutalized in the hot sun for twelve hours a
day and paid pennies. Here's let me try number four here,
since I think he's still on immigration.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
The mask part. There's a bill by Jack Johnson and
Speaker Sexton to punish elected officials who name ICE agents.
Marshall Blackburn hasn't buil at the federal level five years
in prison if you name an ICE agent. On the
flip side, Justin Jones has a bill to ban masks
and require identification. Is that something you guys could do.
We've got a bill penning the legislature he's introduced months
(23:48):
ago on masking.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
The mask part is just outright. It's insane. Now.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Look, I get I'm sensitive as a former mayor, as
an executive, this notion of safety in certain circumstances when
you have a warrant, you present an ID. There's issues
around safety of officers and.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Where it may be appropriate. But now it's universal masking
or National Guard were out there in MacArthur Park. They
were heroes a few weeks ago, twenty five hundred be exact,
that were part of the wildfire recovery. They were being celebrated.
People are doing selfies because they were so grateful. These
same men and women fast up. They're being humiliated and
used as pawns for theater. So we have a bill.
(24:27):
We're looking at the concetion know they're being familiars that
we don't have those makee up business. And the National
Guards that are being humiliated because they have to wear masks,
they want to wear the masks so that these terrorist
activists that Newsom stirs up. In fact, Newsom is paying
these terrorist activists with our tax money. Newsom signed the
(24:50):
bill that gave Turla thirty four million dollars and Turla
has been one of the leading activist organizations stirring up
the rioters. Your tax money is financing the terrorism against
the Ice agents and knew some sign that bill and
they want to wear the masks. You know why because
(25:13):
the terrorist activists take their pictures, snap a photo of
the names on their badges, put it online along with
all their private information. So maybe some other terrorist activists
can kill them. You saw that they arrested ten terrorists
(25:33):
activists who were shooting. They had they had ar fifteen's
they were shooting at ICE agents in Texas just a
couple of days ago, and there was a guy with
a gun shooting at ICE agents in Camareo. They want
to identify them, put their identities online so that other
activists can go and kill them. That's why they're wearing masks.
(25:58):
And this dummy is attending he doesn't know that. Instead
he's saying, well, they used to be heroes, people who
are taking selfies, and now they're humiliated wearing masks. No,
they're not. You created a crime climate that encourages people
to shoot at these ICE agents. You want to sign
(26:19):
a bill to make it illegal to wear a mask
when you're a law enforcement officer, when you know that
they're being targeted for death by organizations that you're helping
to finance with tax money. He has reached a level
of sickness that I feel like my mind is gonna snap.
(26:43):
Play more clips of his stuff later. Good lord, what
a creep.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
We're gonna talk to Royal Oaks. ABC News legal analysts.
The name Mahmoud Khalil, ring a bell. He was leading
the Palestinian protests at Columbia University and then the Trump
administration had him arrested and they wanted to deport him.
(27:22):
Now Khalil is suing. He's got to complain against the
Trump administration. He wants twenty million dollars in damages for
false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and intentional infliction of
emotional distress and other crimes, claiming he was targeted by
(27:42):
the Trump administration and he doesn't even have to get
the money. He says he'll take an apology, so we'll
sort this out now. He was a ringleader of all
the chaos and rioting going on in Columbia. Talk to Royloaks.
Coming up. We'd like to make fun of workers who
(28:06):
don't want to work. Apparently that whole era is over.
Is a story in Wall Street Journal that says employers
no longer give a crap about work life balance. I
hate that phrase, work life balance.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Don't you want a work life balance? You don't want
to just work and you don't want to just play right.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You need that balance, Yeah, but I'll choose that. See,
I like working, I know you do. I've never not
liked working since I was fourteen. So everybody's work life
balance is different. But there are some companies that you
need you to work long hours and to work maybe
(28:49):
more than five days a week, eight hours a day.
And companies are now saying, look, we're not one of
those companies that offer work life balance. They're saying this
right out loud. Shopify, which is an online shopping service,
is advertising for a product manager who can keep up
with an unrelenting pace. Solace, which is a healthcare marketplace,
(29:14):
there's no solace there. If you're looking for work life balance.
This isn't it. A job posting for a senior engineer
at a software company named Rilla says that applicants, well
they telp applicants, please don't join unless you want to
work seventy hours a week. And this is the worst
part in person. Imagine that work in person, seventy hours
(29:36):
a week. And apparently the corporate job listings are now
tilting heavily to let applicants know up front. It's like, hey,
we work long hours here. We work a lot of days.
If you don't like it, don't even bother us. Turns
out there are apparently now there are more people than
(29:59):
there are a jobs, and people are looking for jobs
for months at a time, and there's so many layoffs
going on that companies can now be picking and they
don't have to deal with deadbeat sissies who babble about
work life balance. The uh. The Google co founder Sergey
(30:25):
Brinn told employees that sixty hours a week was the
spreet sweet spot of productivity.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Sixty sixty yeah, oh yeah, I guess I'm not very productive.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, I don't think anybody wants to hear you. And
he complains about long hours anymore. Really the software company,
the CEO said, we're very clear with people who we are.
If you align with this, come apply. This guy's named
Sebastian him andez he hadn't taken a vacation in eight
years before he went on a honeymoon. Well that's a
(31:01):
long time. Yeah. But the people who thrive on it
love it, and they just they can't stand being around
slackers the uh. There are some people who are complaining that,
Like here's one guy, Brett Turpstra Software developer. If I
(31:25):
were to work seventy hours a week, you would have
to pay me a million plus. He's a software developer.
He wants a million plus. Second line of the story.
He's applied to about sixty jobs since April. No takers. Oh,
I wonder why.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
In his cover letter does it say, Hey, I'm just
gonna say, if you want me to work more than
this amount of hours, that I need a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
A million plus. He says when he applies, he's picky.
I automatically opt out of anything that seems like they
don't respect a work life balance. So now he has
no work in all life. Work is life.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Well, if you like what you do, absolutely, If you
don't like what you do, and you work a lot
of hours and you get home after sitting in traffic
and you're exhausted, I can understand why some people are
not happy. I didn't say me, don't be.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Lament.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
No, I you know how much I like working on
your show. I love working on your show one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
All right, I don't want to make an I don't like.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Being in traffic coming to and from work. That doesn't
make me happy. I know, Well, you can send a
helicopter for me.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yesterday it was a working bag. Now it's a helicopter.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well, I'm just saying to wake up call tomorrow Monday.
I did mornings Eric for many years. I'm just saying,
never again, don't get her started. Never again. Remark I
did it. I did it. I worked hard.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I can tell you all the different jobs that I've done.
Nobody could say I wasn't a hard work.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
What you've done, Look what you've done. All right, it's
time to work some more. No Live in the KFI

and I don't know if you heard it. Today is
(00:22):
a little bit shorter than it normally is. I mean,
the entire day, the Earth is slightly speeding up. I
don't know, it's like eighteen hundredths of a millisecond or something.
I the scientist did. So this day is a little
shorter than it should be. So we've got to work
a little faster, work a little harder to get you know,
(00:42):
all the information. And okay, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
I'm going to speed up my newscast by.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Eighteen hundredths of a milliseconds something like that. Okay, you
know when we were on the air at this time
yesterday was when they had the ice raid up at
the cannabis farm near Camario up in Ventura County, and
Michael Monks was trying to track the news, and we're
(01:11):
trying to figure out because Channel five had a helicopters
shot for hours over most of the time, you couldn't
see anything, and nobody knew exactly why. And I said
to Michael though when he came on the air, I said,
could this be a workflit workplace enforcement raid like they
had downtown? Which that raid is what started the rioting,
(01:36):
because protesters got word of a raid. It was at
a textiles company and a clothing company there, and it
turned out that they were going after the owners of
the company for hiring legal aliens and for a tax investigation.
They weren't actually rounding up workers. They're going after the owners.
(02:01):
And I don't know why. I just thought, I wonder
if it must be something like that. Well, it was
absolutely something like that, But because our taxes go to
pay for these rapid response networks, hundreds of protesters showed
up in the Camoio area to scream at the immigration
(02:21):
agents and this led to I got to read you
the early headlines and then the later headlines immigration rate
at cannabis farm in Ventura County sparks chaotic protest. You noticed,
chaotic protest becomes the lead Kaduk protest becomes the most
important part of the story. Now, these protesters are largely
(02:45):
paid by organized groups, and I've always found it fascinating
how the jackasses in the media never write about that,
talk about that, describe it, investigate it. You have paid
actors and their job is to make a big ruckus
over something that I doubt they particularly care about because
(03:07):
these stories come and go. And what I'm told by
law enforcement, what I've seen law enforcement talk about in
interviews is it's the same characters who show up. The
subject matter changes. For example, the Palestine, the Palestine riots
you know at the colleges, or you have the legal
(03:28):
immigration riots. You have riots against Tesla and mosque, have
riots about Trump, you know, bring back say of our democracy, nonsense,
climate change. It's the same people, same organizations. They're professional agitators,
professional disruptors who are well financed by wealthy people. I
(03:51):
don't know they did do this for sport. They've got
a set of wacky ideas, and that's the truth. Everybody
in law enforcement says, you'll see the same people over
and over again, so they're they're always covered in the
news media though it is like, ah, this looks like
a spontaneous grassroots protest by people who were truly do
you think there's anybody on the planet who gives a
(04:12):
crap either way about illegal aliens being raided at a plotfarm? Honestly,
who's emotionally invested in that? Really, you're gonna go all
the way to Ventura County to scream at agents. I
think the agents were like a quarter mile half mile away.
You're gonna scream at a distance at agents who are
(04:36):
We don't even know if they were at the time.
He didn't know what they were doing. It's like, this
is all theater, this is all stage, this is all absurd.
The first thing that the idiot governor Gavin Newsom posts
is kids running from tear gas, crying on the phone
(04:58):
because their mother was just taken from the fields. Trump
calls me new scum, but he's the real scum. We
had to wait a few hours to find out the story,
and even then it's hard to find The La Times
updated story updated as of let me see it's one
eleven ten minutes ago. Headline is two hundred arrested in
(05:23):
chaotic immigration raid. One worker reportedly dies in a fall.
Some guy tried to escape a building, and he fell
and died. But you have to go one, two, three, four, five,
six paragraphs seven oh seven. You know what they found
(05:47):
at the farm, which ought to be the real story,
Which is the real story. Ten miners without documentation were
found at the farm during the raid, eight of them unaccompanied.
The real story is this was a site for child
slave labor. They had children working as slaves growing pot.
(06:15):
This is according to the US Customers and Border Protection
Commissioner Rodney Scott. The facility is now under investigation of
child labor violations. They gave it one paragraph, seven paragraphs down,
and then they went back to the plight of the
people who were rounded up. You've got ten kids, eight
(06:40):
of them without parents or guardians, working as slaves on
a platform in America, and Gavin Newsom uses the event
to call Trump the real scum. Even child slave labor
doesn't bother these left wing progressive fanatics like Newsome. Even
(07:03):
child slave labor, and god forbid, the Times would make
that the headline of their top of the website story.
How about slave labor ring busted at pot farm in Ventura.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Two hundred arrested, two hundred, What all two hundred illegal
aliens breaking the law, and you had adults there forcing
these kids to work, and they are being forced. I
don't think these kids volunteered to travel from their home
countries here to America and stand out in the hot
(07:45):
sun in one hundred degree weather and maintain a pot farm.
And by the way, pot is federally illegal as well.
The way, this place was described as a Glasshouse farm,
a large licensed cannabis greenhouse in cama Rio, another Glasshouse
(08:05):
Farms growing site there also were hit by federal agents
in carpenter Rhea. Spare me as if it's a legitimate business,
a pot farm, So they sell their pot all day
or they grow their pot all day. And what I
have to deal with every day is stoned out jackasses
(08:26):
at every business I go to, who can't even work
the register because they're so bleary eyed from the pot
they're renailing all day. That's the contribution to society. So
we have these stone zombies stumbling around the country. Anyway,
(08:47):
It's a child slave labor shop, that's what it is.
That's what Glasshouse Farms was running. So we'll tell you
the truth here, even if that idiot knews them and
the idiots at the la time. How is that not
the headline? How is not that the most important thing?
How's not that something that should ought to be pissed
(09:08):
off about? They smuggle these poor kids across the border.
Who knows what their lives have been like? Who knows
what happens to them at night? Where are they sleeping
all night? Are they being sexually abused to? Are they
being physically beaten as well? Eh? No? Who are the
writers here? Jeannette Morontos, Melissa Gomez apparently no interest in
(09:32):
that child slave child slaves found seventh paragraph.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
You may want to start tweeting Gavin Newsom on his
X account because he's really thin skinned, or he has
aides who are thin skinned, because he's getting into all
kinds of arguments. Now, I don't know if he's actually
spending the day scrolling X and then when he sees
(10:10):
his name he gets all pissed off and fires back.
I mean, he says he's dyslexic, and so I don't
know if he can read or write all that well.
But maybe he's got some lacky doing it for him
because because he's he's really getting pissed off. Somebody posted
(10:30):
anti ICE protester just pulled a gun on ICE agents
in California. Well, Gavin Newsom condemned this, and then he
writes back, of course I condemn any assault on law
enforce but you bleep poster drops the drops the S word.
Then he says, now, dude, January sixth, He's always he's
(10:51):
always got some like comeback, uh to some like some
left wing progressive comeback. He didn't post anything about the
guy who pulled out a gun and was shooting at
ICE agents. Somebody else posted it first. He wasn't outraged
(11:12):
enough to denounce it. Here's another one he responded to.
Somebody posted about Newsom unveiling one hundred and one million
dollars to build Palisades low income housing. Was this the
plan all along? Where the fire's plan so the land
could be taken over and redeveloped. This is not a
(11:32):
good look for California Democrat politicians. This is what I've
been talking about, is you have Karen Bass withholding permits
to rebuild, and you have Gavin Newsom giving one hundred
million dollars for low income housing to be built in
(11:53):
these residential neighborhoods in the Palisades. Both are true. There's
very few permit's coming out of Karen Bass's office despite
all our promises. Why is that because I think they
don't want They don't want wealthy people moving back to
the Palisades. They want to redesign it as some sort
(12:14):
of affordable housing paradise and do some steps right in
with one hundred million dollars. And the third piece of
the puzzle, which is also true, Scott Wiener has a
bill that would allow you to sell your house to
any developer who could then put up a big, tall
apartment building for low income people. So if you don't
(12:39):
we talked about this at length the other day. If
Karen Bass doesn't hand out a permit and people can't
get insurance payments or their insurance was cut off or diminished,
what are they gonna do? Can't get a permit to rebuild,
don't have the money to rebuild, They're gonna sell cheaply
(12:59):
to a developer. Because everybody says, well, how can you
make money putting up low income housing? It's well, these
people are going to be forced to sell at very
low prices unfortunately. And I don't know how many people
they're going to stuff in these apartments, but at some point,
you stuff enough people in a big enough building, maybe
(13:19):
you can make money on it, especially if you're getting
one hundred million dollars from Gavin Newsom. So the Scott
Wiener bill is real. The one hundred and one million
dollars from Newsom is real. Karen Bess not releasing permits real.
Gavin Newsom's response to this, to this poster just a
(13:43):
total and complete lie. No laws have changed to require
new low income housing. No laws have changed to require well,
Scott Wiener's bill hasn't passed yet, and it's not going
to require low income housing, but it's going to make
(14:05):
it a really attractive option for somebody who's been burned out.
Partly because Newsom did not have the state lands around
the Palisades cleared properly of brush. There was a lot
of fuel on state land that was not cleared. That
(14:27):
was Newsom's responsibility. So the fire happens. And now the
corrupt insurance agents, the corrupt insurance industry, State Farm. Look
at State Farm. They pulled seventy percent of their policies
in the palace age. Why because they could see the
fire risks coming, They saw that the reservoir was empty,
they saw that the lands were not cleared, so they
(14:50):
got out of the business. So now people were thrown
into the California Fair Plan. They're going to get a
very tiny insurance settlement relatively relative to the worth of
their house. And now they can sell it to a developer.
They can't get a permit, they can't get insurance coverage.
(15:11):
They're going to sell to a developer. And Scott Wiener
is going to say the developer can put up the
low income apartment building, and the Newsom goes No. Laws
have changed in Capital Letters to require new low income housing.
Very clever, very Bill Clinton. Like nobody said low income
(15:32):
housing is going to be required. You've created a climate
where it's going to happen. What else is a homeowner
in the Palisades supposed to do? Sell it to a developer.
Now there's one hundred million dollars coming from Newsom. Don't
you think there's going to be more? No mandates to
rebuild entire buildings as affordable exist. You don't, very clever,
(15:53):
You don't need a mandate. You just create a climate
where it's impossible for a Palisades homeowner to build. You
don't get a permit, what are you going to do?
If you don't get an insurance pay out? What are
you going to do? If now you have an option
to sell it to a developer, fine take it. I
don't care what you do with it. I'm getting out
(16:14):
of here. This is how Noston knows all this. So
now he's using X as a way to promote lying,
misleading propaganda. This grant doesn't change anything. It simply helps.
It helps impact the communities recover and meet their pre
(16:35):
existing housing plans. It's absolutely shameful how the right wing
misinformation machine, Oh there's that obsession again continues to weaponize
the recovery. There's that new trendy clever word weaponized the
recovery of a beautiful community like the Palisades. Oh it's
beautiful now, Huh, Well you didn't clear out the brush
(16:59):
like you of and uh Bass went to Africa and
uh nobody filled the reservoir, nobody turned off the power,
and nobody set the fire department in early So it
was beautiful. I'm gonna I usually don't read much on
Twitter and not Gavin Newsom. But uh, it looks like
he wants to wants to engage, he wants to fight,
(17:23):
show that he's he's tough, he's willing to take on Trump.
He is such a sniveling little wienie. He really is
a sniveling weenie. And he lies and he misleads, we come,
we come back. We got some clips about Newsom on
something called the Tennessee Holler podcast. So after after he
(17:48):
goes to South Carolina campaign, he does a Tennessee podcast
and he's writing angry Twitter posts for the people criticizing
him back here. But he had no posts angry about
the child slave labor none. Do you think he really cares?
(18:11):
You think he cares?
Speaker 4 (18:13):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
after four o'clock John cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app, and you could listen to what you missed.
So Newsom continued his presidential campaign while California burns and rots,
And yeah, I guess he's either campaigning in South Carolina,
(18:41):
he's on a podcast in Tennessee, or he's cursing online,
getting angry with people who bait him. Really, you know what,
he reminds me of a ventriloquist dummy. You remember ventriloquists.
They were a big thing on television when I was
(19:01):
growing up, and I could see him on a ventriloquist
knee with the ventriloquist just pulling the string to make
his mouth move. And it's about the same amount of intelligence.
He should be praising the Trump administration and Tom Holman
(19:22):
for busting up to this pot farm that was employing
all these children, illegal alien children. Didn't have any mothers there,
didn't have any fathers there. They're working his slaves near
Camario on Ventura. News media is criticizing the hell out
of this. It was like this fantastic child rescue operation,
(19:46):
these kids pulled out of slavery. Yet every time every
time Newsom is in front of a microphone, either he
or the ventriloquist pulling on this dummies string, it starts
criticizing the ice rates. Yeah, this guy's really presidential material.
(20:07):
You're gonna play cut number one. This is a podcast
called The Tennessee Holler. The Tennessee Holler podcast hosted by
Justin canue and he's discussing the ice rates. Let's play
and see what this is.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
If the shoe was on the other foot, a democratic
president conditioning aid to Republican states. The view from Afar,
even from outside the country, of what's happening in La,
it looks like martial law.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
In many respects it is. It just depends which lens
you see the world.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
I mean, people talk about we crossed that threshold, that
red line on authoritarianism for you.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And me, No, for the Latino community in LA, full
of people quite literally aren't going to the graduations. They're
not getting groceries.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
They're having other people drive them from out racially profound
in their cars. And it's happening at a ferocity and
scale that shock and awe, and it just gets lost
sometimes because there's a new.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Terror policy or there's this another truth social. It's so critical,
we just keep our eye on the ball, and these
are massive. Hold on, Hold on a second. How many
different subjects did he talk about? Eric thinks this was
a heavily edited podcast, but he's jumping around all over
the place, truth, social, and tariffs. I don't understand this
(21:28):
whole authoritarian I realize it's just political stick. You have
to have a catchy phrase, a catchy concept to stir
up the idiots. But it's fascinating how Newsom pretends that
this isn't the law, this isn't the federal law, and
this isn't the government's obligation to enforce. He just he
(21:50):
pretends it just doesn't exist. Newsom created this climate for
all this illegal, alien lawlessness, which by the way, was
facilitated by the drug cartels, the human smuggling cartels who
made billions of dollars transporting children, and the poor kids
(22:13):
who were sweating to death at the potfarm. That's the
least of it. All the kids who were traffied for sex,
all the young girls and boys traffied for sex. And
I don't expect Newsom's crowd to get upset over that,
because the Democrats in the Assembly, in the state Senate
were voting against We're voting against buying children for sex,
(22:39):
against making it a felony. Remember that a couple of
months ago, until they got their asses whipped, you had
dozens and dozens of Democratic legislators who would not make
would not make it a felony to buy a child
for sex. So I'm not really surprised that they're not
denouncing child slaves at the pot farm in Ventura County.
(23:05):
If you're willing to have kids bought and sold for sex,
of course you were having you're willing to have kids
be brutalized in the hot sun for twelve hours a
day and paid pennies. Here's let me try number four here,
since I think he's still on immigration.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
The mask part. There's a bill by Jack Johnson and
Speaker Sexton to punish elected officials who name ICE agents.
Marshall Blackburn hasn't buil at the federal level five years
in prison if you name an ICE agent. On the
flip side, Justin Jones has a bill to ban masks
and require identification. Is that something you guys could do.
We've got a bill penning the legislature he's introduced months
(23:48):
ago on masking.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
The mask part is just outright. It's insane. Now.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Look, I get I'm sensitive as a former mayor, as
an executive, this notion of safety in certain circumstances when
you have a warrant, you present an ID. There's issues
around safety of officers and.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Where it may be appropriate. But now it's universal masking
or National Guard were out there in MacArthur Park. They
were heroes a few weeks ago, twenty five hundred be exact,
that were part of the wildfire recovery. They were being celebrated.
People are doing selfies because they were so grateful. These
same men and women fast up. They're being humiliated and
used as pawns for theater. So we have a bill.
(24:27):
We're looking at the concetion know they're being familiars that
we don't have those makee up business. And the National
Guards that are being humiliated because they have to wear masks,
they want to wear the masks so that these terrorist
activists that Newsom stirs up. In fact, Newsom is paying
these terrorist activists with our tax money. Newsom signed the
(24:50):
bill that gave Turla thirty four million dollars and Turla
has been one of the leading activist organizations stirring up
the rioters. Your tax money is financing the terrorism against
the Ice agents and knew some sign that bill and
they want to wear the masks. You know why because
(25:13):
the terrorist activists take their pictures, snap a photo of
the names on their badges, put it online along with
all their private information. So maybe some other terrorist activists
can kill them. You saw that they arrested ten terrorists
(25:33):
activists who were shooting. They had they had ar fifteen's
they were shooting at ICE agents in Texas just a
couple of days ago, and there was a guy with
a gun shooting at ICE agents in Camareo. They want
to identify them, put their identities online so that other
activists can go and kill them. That's why they're wearing masks.
(25:58):
And this dummy is attending he doesn't know that. Instead
he's saying, well, they used to be heroes, people who
are taking selfies, and now they're humiliated wearing masks. No,
they're not. You created a crime climate that encourages people
to shoot at these ICE agents. You want to sign
(26:19):
a bill to make it illegal to wear a mask
when you're a law enforcement officer, when you know that
they're being targeted for death by organizations that you're helping
to finance with tax money. He has reached a level
of sickness that I feel like my mind is gonna snap.
(26:43):
Play more clips of his stuff later. Good lord, what
a creep.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
We're gonna talk to Royal Oaks. ABC News legal analysts.
The name Mahmoud Khalil, ring a bell. He was leading
the Palestinian protests at Columbia University and then the Trump
administration had him arrested and they wanted to deport him.
(27:22):
Now Khalil is suing. He's got to complain against the
Trump administration. He wants twenty million dollars in damages for
false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, and intentional infliction of
emotional distress and other crimes, claiming he was targeted by
(27:42):
the Trump administration and he doesn't even have to get
the money. He says he'll take an apology, so we'll
sort this out now. He was a ringleader of all
the chaos and rioting going on in Columbia. Talk to Royloaks.
Coming up. We'd like to make fun of workers who
(28:06):
don't want to work. Apparently that whole era is over.
Is a story in Wall Street Journal that says employers
no longer give a crap about work life balance. I
hate that phrase, work life balance.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Don't you want a work life balance? You don't want
to just work and you don't want to just play right.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
You need that balance, Yeah, but I'll choose that. See,
I like working, I know you do. I've never not
liked working since I was fourteen. So everybody's work life
balance is different. But there are some companies that you
need you to work long hours and to work maybe
(28:49):
more than five days a week, eight hours a day.
And companies are now saying, look, we're not one of
those companies that offer work life balance. They're saying this
right out loud. Shopify, which is an online shopping service,
is advertising for a product manager who can keep up
with an unrelenting pace. Solace, which is a healthcare marketplace,
(29:14):
there's no solace there. If you're looking for work life balance.
This isn't it. A job posting for a senior engineer
at a software company named Rilla says that applicants, well
they telp applicants, please don't join unless you want to
work seventy hours a week. And this is the worst
part in person. Imagine that work in person, seventy hours
(29:36):
a week. And apparently the corporate job listings are now
tilting heavily to let applicants know up front. It's like, hey,
we work long hours here. We work a lot of days.
If you don't like it, don't even bother us. Turns
out there are apparently now there are more people than
(29:59):
there are a jobs, and people are looking for jobs
for months at a time, and there's so many layoffs
going on that companies can now be picking and they
don't have to deal with deadbeat sissies who babble about
work life balance. The uh. The Google co founder Sergey
(30:25):
Brinn told employees that sixty hours a week was the
spreet sweet spot of productivity.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Sixty sixty yeah, oh yeah, I guess I'm not very productive.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
Yeah, I don't think anybody wants to hear you. And
he complains about long hours anymore. Really the software company,
the CEO said, we're very clear with people who we are.
If you align with this, come apply. This guy's named
Sebastian him andez he hadn't taken a vacation in eight
years before he went on a honeymoon. Well that's a
(31:01):
long time. Yeah. But the people who thrive on it
love it, and they just they can't stand being around
slackers the uh. There are some people who are complaining that,
Like here's one guy, Brett Turpstra Software developer. If I
(31:25):
were to work seventy hours a week, you would have
to pay me a million plus. He's a software developer.
He wants a million plus. Second line of the story.
He's applied to about sixty jobs since April. No takers. Oh,
I wonder why.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
In his cover letter does it say, Hey, I'm just
gonna say, if you want me to work more than
this amount of hours, that I need a million dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
A million plus. He says when he applies, he's picky.
I automatically opt out of anything that seems like they
don't respect a work life balance. So now he has
no work in all life. Work is life.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Well, if you like what you do, absolutely, If you
don't like what you do, and you work a lot
of hours and you get home after sitting in traffic
and you're exhausted, I can understand why some people are
not happy. I didn't say me, don't be.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Lament.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
No, I you know how much I like working on
your show. I love working on your show one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
All right, I don't want to make an I don't like.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Being in traffic coming to and from work. That doesn't
make me happy. I know, Well, you can send a
helicopter for me.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yesterday it was a working bag. Now it's a helicopter.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Well, I'm just saying to wake up call tomorrow Monday.
I did mornings Eric for many years. I'm just saying,
never again, don't get her started. Never again. Remark I
did it. I did it. I worked hard.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
I can tell you all the different jobs that I've done.
Nobody could say I wasn't a hard work.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
What you've done, Look what you've done. All right, it's
time to work some more. No Live in the KFI
