Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the radio
from one until four, and then if you missed the
show or part of it, you could listen to what
you missed on the iHeart app. John Cobelt's show on demand.
That's the podcast. We have been playing clips earlier in
(00:22):
the hour, and we'll play some more about Alex Padilla
because he can't leave his stunt alone. He made a
fool of himself storming into Christy Nomes question and answer
session a few days ago and Gnomes security threw him
out because they didn't know who he was, and he's
creating a big disruption, and that was just what a
(00:44):
day or two before the shootings in Minnesota. People are
the unhinged. People who live right on the edge of
sanity have have gotten quite violent and quite crazy. And
you can't take any chances. And if you storm into
any politician's press conference unannounced, unidentified and dressed shabby, yeah,
(01:07):
you're gonna get pumpled by security and you should so
Padilla today, of course, goes on the Senate floor and
starts crying. And what we'll play you the cliffs coming up.
But there's another guy who tried to one up that stunt,
and he's running for mayor of New York. His name
is Brad Lander. Now, the favorite in the mayor's race,
(01:29):
would you believe, is Andrew Cuomo, the former governor resigned
in disgrace because I think he had eleven women claiming
that he sexually molested them in some way. But he's
making a comeback because the rest of the mayor all
candidates are are lunatics. They're just mental patients who somehow
got loose out of the asylum. There's also Brad Lander.
(01:53):
He's the New York City comptroller. A comptroller is in
charge of the money. He's like chief accountant. And now
he's running for mayory. He's looking for a promotion. He
got arrested today federal agents at an immigration courthouse in
Lower Manhattan. He tried to escort a migrant who the
(02:16):
agents were trying to arrest. Now, again, you only do
that if you want to have a stunt, get you
on national television. Right, because he's not doing well in
the mayor's race, he's a mile miles behind Andrew Cuomo.
So because he doesn't have an agenda that's appealing to
New York City voters. He's got to opposet Trump and
(02:40):
take on Ice all by himself. And Lander was watching
at the main immigration courthouse whatever hearings were going on,
and that's where migrants are appearing for court. And they
have been arrested as they're showing up to appear appeal,
to appear for their immigration hearing. They're getting arrested and
(03:02):
deported because a lot of them are there with thro
through Joe Biden's phony programs. Joe Biden set up a
number of ridiculous phony programs to get the legal aliens
temporary protection. Trump has rescinded all those phony programs and saying, no,
you're here illegally. We're going to find you and throw
(03:24):
you out. And the greatest way to do it is
to wait until they come to you. Right. You don't
want to storm into people's homes. Right, everybody's screaming, can't
go to people's homes, can't go to schools, can't go
to churches, can't go to the workplace. Okay, We'll wait
for you to come onto federal property to the courthouse
because your your your phony, your phony protection isn't going
(03:45):
to help you anymore, because that's no longer the law.
So Lander, apparently, according to the Apartment of Homeland Security,
assaulted and impeded a law enforcement officer. Videos showed Lander's
stand ending by a migrant man in a hallway when
several men in plain clothes who appeared to be law
(04:06):
enforcement officers, some of them wearing masks, pushed past the
crowd to arrest the migrant, and Lander repeatedly asked them
if they have a warrant. He refused to let go
of the migrant, and the agents tried to direct themand
towards the elevators. And the agents are trying to pry
(04:27):
Lander away from the migrant, and finally they separate him
and pushed him against the wall and put handcuffs on him.
So has another Padia Stune say, and he again he
knows he can't do that, He can't adopt a migrant
in the hallway while Ice is trying to deport the migrant.
(04:50):
We have some audio of this play cut number eight.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Another way.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't know the guys that up, guys that I
understand about Bush.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
But I thought, guys going, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
That's not walcause he's not legal too. That takes up
a judicial warring. Please don't put him in the elevator,
and then you have the world.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You don't worry for him.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Show the judicial warrant?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Where is it?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
My hand?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Sorry one alien me? Please take that? Take that back?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Stop back, please stop back step back, guys, stop back
step back. You don't have the authority to the best
US citizens.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's lander. I'm standing right here in the hallway. The
judicial war arresting.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Guys US citizens?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
We go to Sorry, no way, stay, Where are you
taking him?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Where are you taking the controller to jail? Why are
you arresting the city controller?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
And where are you taking him?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Number?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Hang on with number one? Hold on?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Hello, where are you taking him?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
No? This is just too good this stuff, So Lander said,
I will let go of the migrant when you show
me the judicial warrant. And you heard Lander on this
tape say you don't have the authority to rest US citizens.
I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to
(07:09):
see the judicial warrant. He's full of crap. As The
New York Times points out, agents do not need judicial
warrants to make arrests in immigration courts. Courts because they
are public spaces. So you don't need a warrant to
go to a workplace or a warrant to enter somebody's house.
It's a public space. That's why ICE is doing this.
(07:31):
Like I said, they're waiting for the migrants to come
to them because it's much easier than going into a
home or a place of business. You don't need a warrant.
So Lander and that annoying lady who is yelling hello,
they're wrong. They don't know the law. And by the way,
(07:53):
it's none of his business anyway. As controller, he has
no jurisdiction over the federal government detaining an illegal alien.
It's not his business. He doesn't write federal law. He
doesn't get to supervise ICE raids. It's just a stunt
like Padilla getting thrown on the ground and then sobbing
(08:16):
about it.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So you know, now he's giving statements to the press
and acting all aggrieved and uh, you know, Padia man
started a trend here. He may be a trendsetter. Now
you're gonna have all kinds of dufust loser politicians standing
in the way of ICE, and they're all gonna end
up on their ass and with an arrest record. All right,
(08:46):
there's more on this because we've got to play some
of the Padia stuff. I got to play that one
clip again because that's just too good. He starts crying.
Padia thought about it over the weekend, now decides that
he's traumatized and he needs a hug and a Teddy Bear.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Let me let me play for you some Alex Padilla stuff,
because you don't get these chances too many times in life.
U Padia, of course, was thrown out of Christy Noomes
press conference, thrown on the floor by security because he
interrupted the press conference and nobody knew who he was,
and they thought maybe this guy is maybe he's a
bad guy, and so Badilla ended up on his face.
(09:33):
So now he instead of just crawling away and hoping
people forget about it, he goes onto the Senate floor
to start crying. Uh, let's play. Uh. Well, this is
a big chunk here of his address as he recounts
what happened.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
You're seeing the video.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I was pushed and pulled, struggled to maintain my balance,
I was forced to the ground, first on.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
My knees.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
And then flat on my chest, and as I was handcuffed.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking why am I
being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I
pray you never have a moment like this, but I
will tell you. In that moment, a lot of questions came.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
To my mind. First of all, where are they taking me?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Because I know I'm not just being escorted out of
the building into the dungeon?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Am I being arrested here?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And what will a city already on edge from being
militarized think when they see their United States senator being
handcuffed just for trying to ask a question.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't know who you are. No one's going to
riot over you.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
And what will my wife think? What will our boys think?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It's like dad, stay home?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And I also remember asking myself if this aggressive escalation
is the result of someone speaking up against the abuses
and overreach of the Trump administration, Yes, was it really
worth it? All?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Right? Stop? Stop, stop, I can't take this a second time.
Shut up the overreach and abuses good? I mean, for
ten years he campaigned or governed on deporting illegal aliens.
Eighty three percent of the country is in favor of this.
By the way, fifty six percent of the country was
in support of Trump sending the National Guard. That poll
(12:13):
just came out today. Sixty three percent is in support
of the border being shut down. I don't know what
else you want. It's not overreach, it's not abuse, it's
the law. The president has complete jurisdiction period. He gets
to decide who gets deported. He's in charge of the
National Guard.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't know what's wrong with you.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You're not the president, Padilla. You're barely a senator. You're
only a senator because Newsom appointed you as a senator
to replace that bubblehead Kamala Harris. Let's let's play cut
number two about Christy Nole.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So last week, when I heard something so blatantly un
American from the Secretary of Homeland Security, a cabinet official,
of course I was compelled, both as a senator and
as an American.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
You have to keep reminding me.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
But before I could even get out my question, I
was physically and aggressively forced out of the room one
even as I repeatedly announced I was a United States
Senator and I had a question for the secretary do
you have to tell people? And even as the National
(13:34):
guardsman and the FBI agent who served as my escorts
and brought me into that press briefing room stood by silently,
knowing full well who I was.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Don't you know who I was? I am sitting us Senator?
I had a question. What was his question? I don't
remember ever finding out I had a question. He said
he wasn't able to get it out. Well, so it's
still inside him, I think, so it never found its
way out. No, really, but that's not true that he
(14:12):
didn't get his question out. We could hear him yelling
on the footage from the TV. Yeah, I couldn't. I
don't remember what he was yelling. Well, it was incoherent.
The question got stuck. Play cut number onise a quickie.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Now, throughout this country's history, we've had conflict, we've had tumults,
but we've never had a tyrant as a commander in chief.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
A tyrant. No, you've never had one that enforced the
law to this extent. This, I find this to be
a fascinating moment. How much time has passed since we
had any official in any capacity, especially here in California
enforced the law that it's been on the books for many,
many decades. That's been part of the constitution for hundreds
(14:59):
of years. People have never seen anything like this, and
they're freaking out. This is the way the world used
to run. He used to have a set of laws,
and administrations would enforce it, and they would use their
police agencies to enforce it, and that's how you keep order.
But nothing's been enforced for so long. That's why you
have a state with millions of legal aliens, thousands of
(15:22):
criminals running a buck, tens of thousands of people living
in the streets, defecating all over themselves, neil's sticking out
of their arm, foam coming out of their mouths, whacked
out on drugs, severely mentally ill. It's because nobody enforced
the law. So what do you get? Smashing, grab robberies, burglaries,
(15:46):
thefts in stores twenty four to seven. So this is
what it looks like. You got a president come in
and said, hey, a lot of lawbreaking here. Come on, guys,
let's enforce the law. People are rounded up, they're arrested,
they're deported. Wit. It always should have been what a
what a baby when we come back. One of the
(16:07):
things we enjoyed earlier was finding out that Gavin Newsom
not only he has a feeble forty four percent approval
rating in California, his approval rating across the country is
twenty nine percent. Not many people love Gavin Newsom the
way he loves himself. John Girardi has written a piece
(16:27):
for the National Review, and it's a great review of
our time with Newsom as governor, and it's it's worth
excerpting a little bit. We'll have fun with it. Coming up.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
We are on from one until four o'clock. And maybe
you're just joining us now and you missed all kinds
of cool stuff. Well that's what the that's what the
iHeart app is for too, John Cobelt Show on Demand.
That's the podcast, and that'll be posted shortly after four o'clock.
I really enjoyed this piece by John Girardi in the
(17:06):
National Review because Newsom is trying to position himself as
the lead resistor against Trump. He has been thrashing around
all year trying to find a strategy an issue that's
gonna make him a top tier Democratic presidential candidate, because
that's his only reason, the only reason to live for
(17:28):
Gavin Newsom, He's in the last year and a half
as governor is a terrific, miserable failure, and there's nothing
for him to do but run for office as president.
And so he figures, you know, his crowd, much of
his crowd hates Trump so much, so he'll go out
(17:48):
there and hate Trump too. He's not gonna be running
against Trump if he actually won the Democratic nomination, but
it doesn't matter. This is the trendy cool moment, right.
People hate Trump even if they agree with many of
his policies. Okay, so that's what he's doing. And John
Girardi writes that a dramatic showdown with Trump is Gavin
(18:10):
Newsom's only remaining path to the twenty twenty eight Democratic
nomination and relevance. Most Americans do not follow the nitty
gritty of California politics, and aren't they lucky, so they're
likely unaware of just how close Governor Gavin Newsom is
to crashing out. He has stacked failures on top of failures.
(18:34):
He has angered both liberals and conservatives, and his prospects
for the presidency and any continuing political relevance are fading away.
And I'll just stop to point out that Gavin Newsom's
approval rating in California is down to forty four percent,
and his approval rating across the country is twenty nine percent,
(19:00):
with about a third of the country having no opinion
or never heard of them. And blessed those people, John
Girardi writes, twenty twenty five has not been kind to
Gavin Newsom. The year started with horrific wildfires in Los Angeles,
the most destructive in California's history. And this is me talking.
(19:21):
We still haven't found out what caused the fire. It's
that June seventeenth. It's five weeks and ten days since
the fire, and nobody's told us what started it. Back
to John Girardi, While the fires and their aftermath were
(19:42):
the nation's first glimpse of the disastrous incompetence of America's
worst mayor, Karen Bass, they also demonstrated the ineffectiveness of
the measures to curb wildfires that Newsom put in place
after the disastrous fire seasons of twenty nineteen. In twenty twenty,
he knew wildfires were a problem, but he did not
(20:04):
do what was necessary to stop them. And I'm skipping
around here because there's so much. He's got a twelve
billion dollar deficit. His own budget analysts confirmed that California
has a structural deficit of fifteen to twenty billion dollars
every year, an enduring, consistent state of spending commitments that
(20:28):
exceed revenues. Because Newsom has increased spending an average of
nine percent a year, but revenues have only gone up
six percent a year. In other words, Newsom fails. This
is me talking at basic math. Can you imagine He's
in his seventh year as governor and on average he
(20:51):
spends fifty percent more than the increase in revenue. And
Newsom has also now trying to cut back Medicare medical
to California legal aliens, which drove the deficit far higher
than Newsome expected. This is a problem that yet again
(21:14):
angers everybody. The left is outraged that care for legal
aliens is being cut. Most people never wanted illegal aliens
to get medical to begin with. In fact, fifty eight
percent of Californians fifty eight percent do not support giving
health insurance to illegal aliens. Can you imagine that as
(21:39):
left wing as California is, fifty eight percent said no
federal state health care to illegal aliens. Newsom ignores that
nobody likes homelessness. Yet Newsom spent twenty four billion on
the problem with no track results. The state's high speed
(22:04):
rail project has exactly as much operating track today as
it did when he ran for governor in twenty eighteen.
Zero points zero inches. Good Way Pudding been governor six
and a half years. There was zero inches of track
laid in twenty eighteen, and it's still at zero. There's
(22:27):
no credible financial path to completing the project by its
twenty thirty three deadline. And after Newsom pushed and signed
legislation to increase regulatory burdens on oil refineries, two refineries
announced they're closing. That's going to limit supply. California gas
prices are going to skyrocket to eight dollars per gallon
next year. Wow, I'm going to keep this article. This
(22:51):
is a good rundown here. He never spent the money
to mitigate fires. He has massive deficits that have compounded
over the last six and a half years. He gave
(23:12):
away tens of billions of dollars to illegal alien healthcare,
and most of the state doesn't want that. He spent
twenty four billion on homeless, doesn't know what happened to
the money. Spent seventeen billion dollars on high speed rail.
There is no rail. He regulated the oil refineries to death,
(23:32):
and now we're going to pay eight dollars a gallon.
Explain to me why he should be president. Other candidates,
as John Chirarti points out, other Democratic candidates are going
to beat the crap out of him if he gets
on the debate stage. He has no cards to play,
(23:56):
no bullets in the gun. He's got nothing except he's
the lead resistor to Trump right now. But that will
be of no value in twenty twenty eight because Trump
won't be running for president. All right. More coming up,
(24:19):
We got to have the final chapter on Karen Bass's
deputy mayor pleading guilty to fake brom threats. We got
the cost of police for the LA riots, and we
have the LA deputy controller quitting after two of his
daughters got arrested at the Ice protest. Unbelievable. The clods
(24:42):
and buffoons and clowns we have running things. So we'll
get to all that coming up. When you question why
Trump set in the National Guard to Los Angeles, remember this,
those peaceful protesters. Those peaceful protesters caused delay to rack
up twenty million dollars in police costs and other expenses,
(25:07):
including eleven point seven million dollars for overtime, seven hundred
and eighty thousand dollars to repair damage at City Hall,
the LPD headquarters, and other city buildings. Seven hundred and
eighty thousand dollars of peaceful protest damage, and some of
these estimates are far from complete. Five hundred and seventy
(25:31):
five people arrested for the peaceful protests. That is the
biggest BS phrase that's ever been created in human language,
and now everybody repeats it like it's a prayer. Millions
of our tax dollars peaceful this okay? Number two Brian K. Williams.
(25:56):
He was another butte on leashed by Karen Bass. He
was the deputy one of the deputy mayors for Bass,
and he was in charge of police and fire in
public safety, and he's now facing a possible prison sentence
of up to ten years. He finally pled guilty. He
(26:20):
called in a fake bomb threat to city Hall October
third of last year he was Deputy Mayor of Public Safety.
He called the LAPD Chief of Staff and Brian Williams
claimed he just got a bomb threat to City Hall
(26:41):
from an unknown man. Ten minutes later, he sent the
text message to Karen Bass and other city officials and
said bomb threat. I received phone call on my city
sell at ten forty eight this morning, he claims. The
caller said he was tired of the city support of
Israel and he decided to play it's a bomb at
City Hall. It might be in the rotunda, he went
(27:05):
on to explain to Bass. I immediately contacted the chief
of staff of LAPD. They're going to send a number
of officers over to do a search of the building
and determine if anyone else received a threat. He made
it up. The psycho lied and even called the threat
into Karen Bass. She was the one who hired him.
(27:27):
Then he followed up with more messages to Bass and
other officials. At this time, there's no need to evacuate
the building. I'm meeting with the threat management officers within
the next ten minutes. In light of the Jewish holidays,
we're taking this threat a little more seriously. I'll keep
you posted by the way, he denied he called in
(27:49):
the threat for months while he was collecting his salary
on administrative leave. He was on administrator of leave from
I think December until April. Our tax money paid his salary.
I guess he was saving up money for his law bills.
(28:14):
He joined BASS in March at twenty twenty three, overseeing
police fire and the LA Airport Police. He served seven
years as the executive director of the LA County Sheriff
Civilian Oversight Commission. Whack job psychoe. Here's another one. Rick Cole,
(28:39):
the chief Deputy Controller for the City of Los Angeles,
has just resigned. His twin daughters were arrested during the
ice protests. He'd been working under the city controller, Kenneth
Maheis since December of twenty twenty two. He's got twin daughters,
one named Luz Agualar. She was arrested on suspicion of
(29:02):
assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon a week
ago Sunday. Her sister, Antonio, was also taken into custody
during the same protest. Both of them booked. Both of
them held on fifty thousand dollars bail. They've been released
on bail. Their scheduled appeal in court was aguilar. The
(29:24):
first sister is a deputy for LA Council member Isabelle Herado.
Her campaign slogan was f the police, literally f the police.
Going back to Rick Cole, he said, I've seen pictures
(29:45):
of my two daughters on a curb in Los Angeles
and handcuff cuffs. This is what he said the day
of the riot. I'm going to be figuring out where
they are so I can bail them out. He was
a deputy mayor for Eric Arcetti Odds. We've got Conway
(30:10):
coming up next. Michael Krozer live in the CAFI twenty
for our 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. You're listening to the John
Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the radio
from one until four, and then if you missed the
show or part of it, you could listen to what
you missed on the iHeart app. John Cobelt's show on demand.
That's the podcast. We have been playing clips earlier in
(00:22):
the hour, and we'll play some more about Alex Padilla
because he can't leave his stunt alone. He made a
fool of himself storming into Christy Nomes question and answer
session a few days ago and Gnomes security threw him
out because they didn't know who he was, and he's
creating a big disruption, and that was just what a
(00:44):
day or two before the shootings in Minnesota. People are
the unhinged. People who live right on the edge of
sanity have have gotten quite violent and quite crazy. And
you can't take any chances. And if you storm into
any politician's press conference unannounced, unidentified and dressed shabby, yeah,
(01:07):
you're gonna get pumpled by security and you should so
Padilla today, of course, goes on the Senate floor and
starts crying. And what we'll play you the cliffs coming up.
But there's another guy who tried to one up that stunt,
and he's running for mayor of New York. His name
is Brad Lander. Now, the favorite in the mayor's race,
(01:29):
would you believe, is Andrew Cuomo, the former governor resigned
in disgrace because I think he had eleven women claiming
that he sexually molested them in some way. But he's
making a comeback because the rest of the mayor all
candidates are are lunatics. They're just mental patients who somehow
got loose out of the asylum. There's also Brad Lander.
(01:53):
He's the New York City comptroller. A comptroller is in
charge of the money. He's like chief accountant. And now
he's running for mayory. He's looking for a promotion. He
got arrested today federal agents at an immigration courthouse in
Lower Manhattan. He tried to escort a migrant who the
(02:16):
agents were trying to arrest. Now, again, you only do
that if you want to have a stunt, get you
on national television. Right, because he's not doing well in
the mayor's race, he's a mile miles behind Andrew Cuomo.
So because he doesn't have an agenda that's appealing to
New York City voters. He's got to opposet Trump and
(02:40):
take on Ice all by himself. And Lander was watching
at the main immigration courthouse whatever hearings were going on,
and that's where migrants are appearing for court. And they
have been arrested as they're showing up to appear appeal,
to appear for their immigration hearing. They're getting arrested and
(03:02):
deported because a lot of them are there with thro
through Joe Biden's phony programs. Joe Biden set up a
number of ridiculous phony programs to get the legal aliens
temporary protection. Trump has rescinded all those phony programs and saying, no,
you're here illegally. We're going to find you and throw
(03:24):
you out. And the greatest way to do it is
to wait until they come to you. Right. You don't
want to storm into people's homes. Right, everybody's screaming, can't
go to people's homes, can't go to schools, can't go
to churches, can't go to the workplace. Okay, We'll wait
for you to come onto federal property to the courthouse
because your your your phony, your phony protection isn't going
(03:45):
to help you anymore, because that's no longer the law.
So Lander, apparently, according to the Apartment of Homeland Security,
assaulted and impeded a law enforcement officer. Videos showed Lander's
stand ending by a migrant man in a hallway when
several men in plain clothes who appeared to be law
(04:06):
enforcement officers, some of them wearing masks, pushed past the
crowd to arrest the migrant, and Lander repeatedly asked them
if they have a warrant. He refused to let go
of the migrant, and the agents tried to direct themand
towards the elevators. And the agents are trying to pry
(04:27):
Lander away from the migrant, and finally they separate him
and pushed him against the wall and put handcuffs on him.
So has another Padia Stune say, and he again he
knows he can't do that, He can't adopt a migrant
in the hallway while Ice is trying to deport the migrant.
(04:50):
We have some audio of this play cut number eight.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Another way.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I don't know the guys that up, guys that I
understand about Bush.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
But I thought, guys going, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
That's not walcause he's not legal too. That takes up
a judicial warring. Please don't put him in the elevator,
and then you have the world.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
You don't worry for him.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Show the judicial warrant?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Where is it?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
My hand?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Sorry one alien me? Please take that? Take that back?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Stop back, please stop back step back, guys, stop back
step back. You don't have the authority to the best
US citizens.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
That's lander. I'm standing right here in the hallway. The
judicial war arresting.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Guys US citizens?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
We go to Sorry, no way, stay, Where are you
taking him?
Speaker 3 (06:24):
Hello?
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Where are you taking the controller to jail? Why are
you arresting the city controller?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
And where are you taking him?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Number?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
Hang on with number one? Hold on?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Hello, where are you taking him?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
No? This is just too good this stuff, So Lander said,
I will let go of the migrant when you show
me the judicial warrant. And you heard Lander on this
tape say you don't have the authority to rest US citizens.
I'm standing right here in the hallway. I asked to
(07:09):
see the judicial warrant. He's full of crap. As The
New York Times points out, agents do not need judicial
warrants to make arrests in immigration courts. Courts because they
are public spaces. So you don't need a warrant to
go to a workplace or a warrant to enter somebody's house.
It's a public space. That's why ICE is doing this.
(07:31):
Like I said, they're waiting for the migrants to come
to them because it's much easier than going into a
home or a place of business. You don't need a warrant.
So Lander and that annoying lady who is yelling hello,
they're wrong. They don't know the law. And by the way,
(07:53):
it's none of his business anyway. As controller, he has
no jurisdiction over the federal government detaining an illegal alien.
It's not his business. He doesn't write federal law. He
doesn't get to supervise ICE raids. It's just a stunt
like Padilla getting thrown on the ground and then sobbing
(08:16):
about it.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
So you know, now he's giving statements to the press
and acting all aggrieved and uh, you know, Padia man
started a trend here. He may be a trendsetter. Now
you're gonna have all kinds of dufust loser politicians standing
in the way of ICE, and they're all gonna end
up on their ass and with an arrest record. All right,
(08:46):
there's more on this because we've got to play some
of the Padia stuff. I got to play that one
clip again because that's just too good. He starts crying.
Padia thought about it over the weekend, now decides that
he's traumatized and he needs a hug and a Teddy Bear.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
am six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Let me let me play for you some Alex Padilla stuff,
because you don't get these chances too many times in life.
U Padia, of course, was thrown out of Christy Noomes
press conference, thrown on the floor by security because he
interrupted the press conference and nobody knew who he was,
and they thought maybe this guy is maybe he's a
bad guy, and so Badilla ended up on his face.
(09:33):
So now he instead of just crawling away and hoping
people forget about it, he goes onto the Senate floor
to start crying. Uh, let's play. Uh. Well, this is
a big chunk here of his address as he recounts
what happened.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
You're seeing the video.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I was pushed and pulled, struggled to maintain my balance,
I was forced to the ground, first on.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
My knees.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
And then flat on my chest, and as I was handcuffed.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
And marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking why am I
being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I
pray you never have a moment like this, but I
will tell you. In that moment, a lot of questions came.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
To my mind. First of all, where are they taking me?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Because I know I'm not just being escorted out of
the building into the dungeon?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Am I being arrested here?
Speaker 3 (11:02):
And what will a city already on edge from being
militarized think when they see their United States senator being
handcuffed just for trying to ask a question.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I don't know who you are. No one's going to
riot over you.
Speaker 5 (11:21):
And what will my wife think? What will our boys think?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
It's like dad, stay home?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And I also remember asking myself if this aggressive escalation
is the result of someone speaking up against the abuses
and overreach of the Trump administration, Yes, was it really
worth it? All?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Right? Stop? Stop, stop, I can't take this a second time.
Shut up the overreach and abuses good? I mean, for
ten years he campaigned or governed on deporting illegal aliens.
Eighty three percent of the country is in favor of this.
By the way, fifty six percent of the country was
in support of Trump sending the National Guard. That poll
(12:13):
just came out today. Sixty three percent is in support
of the border being shut down. I don't know what
else you want. It's not overreach, it's not abuse, it's
the law. The president has complete jurisdiction period. He gets
to decide who gets deported. He's in charge of the
National Guard.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't know what's wrong with you.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
You're not the president, Padilla. You're barely a senator. You're
only a senator because Newsom appointed you as a senator
to replace that bubblehead Kamala Harris. Let's let's play cut
number two about Christy Nole.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
So last week, when I heard something so blatantly un
American from the Secretary of Homeland Security, a cabinet official,
of course I was compelled, both as a senator and
as an American.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
You have to keep reminding me.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
But before I could even get out my question, I
was physically and aggressively forced out of the room one
even as I repeatedly announced I was a United States
Senator and I had a question for the secretary do
you have to tell people? And even as the National
(13:34):
guardsman and the FBI agent who served as my escorts
and brought me into that press briefing room stood by silently,
knowing full well who I was.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Don't you know who I was? I am sitting us Senator?
I had a question. What was his question? I don't
remember ever finding out I had a question. He said
he wasn't able to get it out. Well, so it's
still inside him, I think, so it never found its
way out. No, really, but that's not true that he
(14:12):
didn't get his question out. We could hear him yelling
on the footage from the TV. Yeah, I couldn't. I
don't remember what he was yelling. Well, it was incoherent.
The question got stuck. Play cut number onise a quickie.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Now, throughout this country's history, we've had conflict, we've had tumults,
but we've never had a tyrant as a commander in chief.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
A tyrant. No, you've never had one that enforced the
law to this extent. This, I find this to be
a fascinating moment. How much time has passed since we
had any official in any capacity, especially here in California
enforced the law that it's been on the books for many,
many decades. That's been part of the constitution for hundreds
(14:59):
of years. People have never seen anything like this, and
they're freaking out. This is the way the world used
to run. He used to have a set of laws,
and administrations would enforce it, and they would use their
police agencies to enforce it, and that's how you keep order.
But nothing's been enforced for so long. That's why you
have a state with millions of legal aliens, thousands of
(15:22):
criminals running a buck, tens of thousands of people living
in the streets, defecating all over themselves, neil's sticking out
of their arm, foam coming out of their mouths, whacked
out on drugs, severely mentally ill. It's because nobody enforced
the law. So what do you get? Smashing, grab robberies, burglaries,
(15:46):
thefts in stores twenty four to seven. So this is
what it looks like. You got a president come in
and said, hey, a lot of lawbreaking here. Come on, guys,
let's enforce the law. People are rounded up, they're arrested,
they're deported. Wit. It always should have been what a
what a baby when we come back. One of the
(16:07):
things we enjoyed earlier was finding out that Gavin Newsom
not only he has a feeble forty four percent approval
rating in California, his approval rating across the country is
twenty nine percent. Not many people love Gavin Newsom the
way he loves himself. John Girardi has written a piece
(16:27):
for the National Review, and it's a great review of
our time with Newsom as governor, and it's it's worth
excerpting a little bit. We'll have fun with it. Coming up.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
We are on from one until four o'clock. And maybe
you're just joining us now and you missed all kinds
of cool stuff. Well that's what the that's what the
iHeart app is for too, John Cobelt Show on Demand.
That's the podcast, and that'll be posted shortly after four o'clock.
I really enjoyed this piece by John Girardi in the
(17:06):
National Review because Newsom is trying to position himself as
the lead resistor against Trump. He has been thrashing around
all year trying to find a strategy an issue that's
gonna make him a top tier Democratic presidential candidate, because
that's his only reason, the only reason to live for
(17:28):
Gavin Newsom, He's in the last year and a half
as governor is a terrific, miserable failure, and there's nothing
for him to do but run for office as president.
And so he figures, you know, his crowd, much of
his crowd hates Trump so much, so he'll go out
(17:48):
there and hate Trump too. He's not gonna be running
against Trump if he actually won the Democratic nomination, but
it doesn't matter. This is the trendy cool moment, right.
People hate Trump even if they agree with many of
his policies. Okay, so that's what he's doing. And John
Girardi writes that a dramatic showdown with Trump is Gavin
(18:10):
Newsom's only remaining path to the twenty twenty eight Democratic
nomination and relevance. Most Americans do not follow the nitty
gritty of California politics, and aren't they lucky, so they're
likely unaware of just how close Governor Gavin Newsom is
to crashing out. He has stacked failures on top of failures.
(18:34):
He has angered both liberals and conservatives, and his prospects
for the presidency and any continuing political relevance are fading away.
And I'll just stop to point out that Gavin Newsom's
approval rating in California is down to forty four percent,
and his approval rating across the country is twenty nine percent,
(19:00):
with about a third of the country having no opinion
or never heard of them. And blessed those people, John
Girardi writes, twenty twenty five has not been kind to
Gavin Newsom. The year started with horrific wildfires in Los Angeles,
the most destructive in California's history. And this is me talking.
(19:21):
We still haven't found out what caused the fire. It's
that June seventeenth. It's five weeks and ten days since
the fire, and nobody's told us what started it. Back
to John Girardi, While the fires and their aftermath were
(19:42):
the nation's first glimpse of the disastrous incompetence of America's
worst mayor, Karen Bass, they also demonstrated the ineffectiveness of
the measures to curb wildfires that Newsom put in place
after the disastrous fire seasons of twenty nineteen. In twenty twenty,
he knew wildfires were a problem, but he did not
(20:04):
do what was necessary to stop them. And I'm skipping
around here because there's so much. He's got a twelve
billion dollar deficit. His own budget analysts confirmed that California
has a structural deficit of fifteen to twenty billion dollars
every year, an enduring, consistent state of spending commitments that
(20:28):
exceed revenues. Because Newsom has increased spending an average of
nine percent a year, but revenues have only gone up
six percent a year. In other words, Newsom fails. This
is me talking at basic math. Can you imagine He's
in his seventh year as governor and on average he
(20:51):
spends fifty percent more than the increase in revenue. And
Newsom has also now trying to cut back Medicare medical
to California legal aliens, which drove the deficit far higher
than Newsome expected. This is a problem that yet again
(21:14):
angers everybody. The left is outraged that care for legal
aliens is being cut. Most people never wanted illegal aliens
to get medical to begin with. In fact, fifty eight
percent of Californians fifty eight percent do not support giving
health insurance to illegal aliens. Can you imagine that as
(21:39):
left wing as California is, fifty eight percent said no
federal state health care to illegal aliens. Newsom ignores that
nobody likes homelessness. Yet Newsom spent twenty four billion on
the problem with no track results. The state's high speed
(22:04):
rail project has exactly as much operating track today as
it did when he ran for governor in twenty eighteen.
Zero points zero inches. Good Way Pudding been governor six
and a half years. There was zero inches of track
laid in twenty eighteen, and it's still at zero. There's
(22:27):
no credible financial path to completing the project by its
twenty thirty three deadline. And after Newsom pushed and signed
legislation to increase regulatory burdens on oil refineries, two refineries
announced they're closing. That's going to limit supply. California gas
prices are going to skyrocket to eight dollars per gallon
next year. Wow, I'm going to keep this article. This
(22:51):
is a good rundown here. He never spent the money
to mitigate fires. He has massive deficits that have compounded
over the last six and a half years. He gave
(23:12):
away tens of billions of dollars to illegal alien healthcare,
and most of the state doesn't want that. He spent
twenty four billion on homeless, doesn't know what happened to
the money. Spent seventeen billion dollars on high speed rail.
There is no rail. He regulated the oil refineries to death,
(23:32):
and now we're going to pay eight dollars a gallon.
Explain to me why he should be president. Other candidates,
as John Chirarti points out, other Democratic candidates are going
to beat the crap out of him if he gets
on the debate stage. He has no cards to play,
(23:56):
no bullets in the gun. He's got nothing except he's
the lead resistor to Trump right now. But that will
be of no value in twenty twenty eight because Trump
won't be running for president. All right. More coming up,
(24:19):
We got to have the final chapter on Karen Bass's
deputy mayor pleading guilty to fake brom threats. We got
the cost of police for the LA riots, and we
have the LA deputy controller quitting after two of his
daughters got arrested at the Ice protest. Unbelievable. The clods
(24:42):
and buffoons and clowns we have running things. So we'll
get to all that coming up. When you question why
Trump set in the National Guard to Los Angeles, remember this,
those peaceful protesters. Those peaceful protesters caused delay to rack
up twenty million dollars in police costs and other expenses,
(25:07):
including eleven point seven million dollars for overtime, seven hundred
and eighty thousand dollars to repair damage at City Hall,
the LPD headquarters, and other city buildings. Seven hundred and
eighty thousand dollars of peaceful protest damage, and some of
these estimates are far from complete. Five hundred and seventy
(25:31):
five people arrested for the peaceful protests. That is the
biggest BS phrase that's ever been created in human language,
and now everybody repeats it like it's a prayer. Millions
of our tax dollars peaceful this okay? Number two Brian K. Williams.
(25:56):
He was another butte on leashed by Karen Bass. He
was the deputy one of the deputy mayors for Bass,
and he was in charge of police and fire in
public safety, and he's now facing a possible prison sentence
of up to ten years. He finally pled guilty. He
(26:20):
called in a fake bomb threat to city Hall October
third of last year he was Deputy Mayor of Public Safety.
He called the LAPD Chief of Staff and Brian Williams
claimed he just got a bomb threat to City Hall
(26:41):
from an unknown man. Ten minutes later, he sent the
text message to Karen Bass and other city officials and
said bomb threat. I received phone call on my city
sell at ten forty eight this morning, he claims. The
caller said he was tired of the city support of
Israel and he decided to play it's a bomb at
City Hall. It might be in the rotunda, he went
(27:05):
on to explain to Bass. I immediately contacted the chief
of staff of LAPD. They're going to send a number
of officers over to do a search of the building
and determine if anyone else received a threat. He made
it up. The psycho lied and even called the threat
into Karen Bass. She was the one who hired him.
(27:27):
Then he followed up with more messages to Bass and
other officials. At this time, there's no need to evacuate
the building. I'm meeting with the threat management officers within
the next ten minutes. In light of the Jewish holidays,
we're taking this threat a little more seriously. I'll keep
you posted by the way, he denied he called in
(27:49):
the threat for months while he was collecting his salary
on administrative leave. He was on administrator of leave from
I think December until April. Our tax money paid his salary.
I guess he was saving up money for his law bills.
(28:14):
He joined BASS in March at twenty twenty three, overseeing
police fire and the LA Airport Police. He served seven
years as the executive director of the LA County Sheriff
Civilian Oversight Commission. Whack job psychoe. Here's another one. Rick Cole,
(28:39):
the chief Deputy Controller for the City of Los Angeles,
has just resigned. His twin daughters were arrested during the
ice protests. He'd been working under the city controller, Kenneth
Maheis since December of twenty twenty two. He's got twin daughters,
one named Luz Agualar. She was arrested on suspicion of
(29:02):
assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon a week
ago Sunday. Her sister, Antonio, was also taken into custody
during the same protest. Both of them booked. Both of
them held on fifty thousand dollars bail. They've been released
on bail. Their scheduled appeal in court was aguilar. The
(29:24):
first sister is a deputy for LA Council member Isabelle Herado.
Her campaign slogan was f the police, literally f the police.
Going back to Rick Cole, he said, I've seen pictures
(29:45):
of my two daughters on a curb in Los Angeles
and handcuff cuffs. This is what he said the day
of the riot. I'm going to be figuring out where
they are so I can bail them out. He was
a deputy mayor for Eric Arcetti Odds. We've got Conway
(30:10):
