Speaker 1 (00:00):
If I am six forty, you're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Good afternoon everyone, If I am six forty, and we're
also on the iHeartRadio app. Carl Tomayo sitting in today
for John Cobolt while he's out getting much deserved rest,
and we are not going to take any rest in
getting you up to speed on all the shenanigans happening
in California news and politics. And every time, every time

(00:34):
I talk about these issues, I kind of feel bad
because I have a lot of complaining because there's a
lot to complain about, and you know, look, this is
your government that's screwing you over, so I figure you
might as well be informed about it. And then but
here's why I don't want you to feel too bad
and why I don't feel as bad. Besides the fact

(00:57):
that you have a right to know what's actually going on,
but the politicians are actually doing. You need to have
a heads up to know what's about to hit you
in the you know what, I focus on what you
can do to fight back, because otherwise I'm just raising
your blood pressure and that's not healthy. Sadistic don't want

(01:18):
to get anyone in a bad space, I want to
empower you. Then that's really what our Reform California movement
is all about. Not just complaining and pointing out the problems,
and there are many, to be sure, It's about empowering
you to take control of your future, to change the

(01:40):
direction of the state. And yesterday we spent a good
amount of time. And if you didn't want to listen
to yesterday, definitely grab the iHeartRadio app from yesterday's shows
because I had Steve Hilton on, our candidate for Governor,
Mike Gates, our candidate for Attorney General, Sonya Shaw, candidate
for Superintendent of Schools, and I walk through the five

(02:04):
point plan Reform California has to take back our state.
No one is coming to save us. We're gonna have
to do it ourselves, and we can do it. The
good news here is we can actually take back our state.
We can have it back. We can make California golden again.
We can be proud of our state again. But it's
going to require that you get off the couch and

(02:25):
into the fight. So I'm not gonna beat the horse.
I will be inviting you throughout today's show as we
talk about all the bad news I have to share,
all of the blood pressure raising topics we're going to explore.
I'm going to invite you to do something about it
constructively by signing up as a volunteer at Reform California

(02:45):
dot org so that you can deliver the Plain English
Voter Guide to your neighbors this fall during October, so
we can win the ballot measure fights like passing Prop
thirty nine for voter ID, defeating all the tax hikes
that they hit on the ballot with their deceptive titles,
and of course trying to break the Democrats supermajority in

(03:06):
Sacramento and get some good elected officials in your local government.
All of that requires that you do something in October,
and that is reach out to low propensity Republicans that
are not going to vote. I just need you to
give them faith. I need you to give them a hope.
I need you to give them the cheat sheet, the
plain English voter Guide. I will give you the voter guide.
I will send you the door hangers. And I'm not

(03:27):
going to ask you to go to a Democrat household
or an independent household. I'm going to send you to
a household of someone who basically agrees one with our agenda.
They're just not going to vote because they have no
hope and they don't know who to vote for because
they don't have a voter guide. I need you to
contact those people and turn them out. By the way,
if this program we're running, if these door hangers were

(03:49):
done in the primary, and if you were volunteering in
the primary, Spencer Pratt would be in the runoff right
now and the trajectory of La City government would be
a total different path. So we are doing it in
the general election. We needed to wait because we don't
have all the resources in the world. We needed to

(04:09):
wait for the general election to basically mount this program.
Now that we have all the ballot measures on, now
that voter ID Prop thirty nine is on the ballot,
we need you now to get off the couch and
into the fight. So go to the website reform California
dot org. Reform California dot org. Sign up as a volunteer.
At least sign up so that I can send you
the digital voter guide so that you know how to

(04:31):
vote and that it's a cheat sheet for you even
if you don't want to pass it on to someone else,
at least get it for yourself. Reform California dot org
and then of course if you can please chip in
a contribution, hie. So today we're going to talk about
the voter ID initiative Yes on Prop thirty nine. The
opponents of Prop thirty nine are voter ID initiative launch
their campaign today and of course they're right out of

(04:53):
the gate line and the liberal media is helping them.
So we'll tell you what our plan is to win
that campaign on a shoestring budget. During our four o'clock hour,
I'm gonna talk about Gavin Newsom's corruption. What's the over
under on Newsome getting indicted? Oh boy can dream? He

(05:14):
certainly deserves it, if not for criminal negligence and misdeeds
his rank incompetence. But we're gonna explore the various stinky
situations is what I call it, stinky situations hovering around Newsom.
Everyone deserves the presumption of innocence, even though Newsom and

(05:35):
his cabal don't give that to their opponents. But you'll
be the smart one at the dinner party, because I'm
gonna tell you what so far has happened in these
criminal investigations and where I believe they're likely to go,
where Newsom has the greatest risk. But first I'm gonna
start out with another element of crime, and that is
in California. Are you ready for this, illegal immigrants get

(05:59):
tree better than California citizens. And you're like yeah, And
the day ends, And why we all know illegal immigrants
are getting treated better than California citizens. They get all
the freebies, the welfare, they get all the attention. They're

(06:23):
breaking the law. But somehow, we, those of us who
want a secure border, are somehow the bad people for
saying we'd like to secure the border. So they get
all the attention, all the benefit, all the catering, all
the focus of our politicians bending over backwards. They will
raise your taxes, they will cut your services. As we
talked about on healthcare premiums yesterday, politicians raising the premiums

(06:46):
for healthcare on citizens, imposing a four hundred and twenty
five dollars per family of four health care tax on
citizens so that they can spend thirteen billion dollars of
your tax para money on free, taxpayer funded health insurance
for illegal immigrants. That's what's happening. So when I say

(07:09):
illegal immigrants, illegals get treated better in California then citizens.
We got the receipts to prove that on almost every policy.
It's time and time again, illegal immigrants get the benefit,
the citizens get the shaft. But in the area of

(07:32):
criminal justice, do you know that illegal immigrants are getting
lighter sentences than citizens for the same exact crime. Did
you know that? But what's happening all the time, And
there's a major driver of it. And when I tell
you what the driver is, you're gonna be like, oh,
that makes sense. Well, I'm not in agreement with it,

(07:54):
still makes my blood boil. I'm ticked off about it,
But I see, whah, Carl, You're observing a truth that
illegal immigrants are getting lighter sentences for the same crime
that a citizen commits, that the citizen gets punished more
harshly for it is a policy, it is a practice.

(08:18):
This is how it's being done. And there's a very
simple reason motive as to why California Democrat politicians are
doing this, why prosecutors are doing this, why judges are
doing this. You know, what happened to equal protection under
the law, what happened to justice being blind that people

(08:42):
are treated the same. No matter what you did the crime,
you will suffer the same punishment as anyone else in
your same circumstance. But no, if you're an illegal immigrant,
you actually instead of getting a felony, you'll get a misdemeanor.
Instead of getting a harsh sentence, you'll get a light sentence.

(09:02):
Ho's a pattern, and we got the receipts to prove it.
And now California Democrats want to make it illegal illegal
for a prosecutor or a judge to treat an illegal
immigrant the same as a citizen when they sentence them
for a crime. This is insanity. Folks. You are going
to be the one with this story tonight telling all

(09:26):
your friends and they are going to say, what the hell?
How has this been a secret in California. Well, it's
not gonna be a secret very much longer. And I've
got the bill number for you, AB twenty six to
sixty nine, and I'll walk you through it. Coming up next.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
You're listening to John Coblt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Carl Demayo on KFI AM six forty on the iHeartRadio app.
We're talking about illegal immigrants getting treated better than California
citizens and taxpayers are know that. That is clear in
terms of the goodies and the freebies and the welfare
that they're handing out to illegal immigrants non citizens, while

(10:11):
they tell citizens, Nope, you're not allowed to have that.
In fact, we're gonna give illegal immigrants free health care
at taxpayer expense to the tune of thirteen billion dollars
in our state budget. Ah. But we're now going to
have a budget deficit because we chose to do that.
So we're gonna cut your health care benefits. We're going

(10:31):
to make it harder for you to get public assistance.
We are going to raise your health care premiums by
eliminating subsidies and even imposing a four hundred and twenty
five dollars per family of four health insurance tax bing
bing bing bing, bing bing bing. You get crushed as

(10:51):
a citizen. The illegal they get the freebies. The Democrat
Party has become subservient, has become comple depletely single minded
and focused on what can we do to benefit the illegal,
Screw the taxpayer, screw the citizen. That's their policy. But

(11:14):
now we've got something even worse than just the waste
of your taxpayer money, and that is completely illegal and unconstitutional,
violating the fourteenth Amendment. Sentencing that is going on every

(11:35):
single day in courtrooms around the state of California by
liberal prosecutors and liberal judges who for years have said,
we can't punish this illegal immigrant to this level because
if we do, they might get deported by Ice. Oh

(11:55):
is it making sense now, my friends? You see, if
an immigrant commits a crime that's a felony, a serious crime,
then they get put higher up on the priority list
of ICE to deport them. So what do the prosecutors do?
They downgrade the charges, what do the judges do? They say,

(12:17):
you know, I'm just not gonna I'm not gonna entertain
that that set of charges. I'm not gonna find him
guilty of this. I'll find him guilty of this lesser
thing here. And so they are now managing sentencing with
an eye towards how do we keep this illegal immigrant here?
Even though this illegal immigrant is now a criminal, has

(12:38):
done something gravely bad, and we're gonna treat this illegal
immigrant differently than if a citizen walked in and committed
the same crime. This week's Politico headline a sanctuary dispute
in Amador County. Quote. A northern California sheriff who made

(12:59):
headlines for us OH in defiance of the state sanctuary policy,
told members of Congress last week that local prosecutors crafted
a plea deal to prevent him from getting an alleged
child molester deported. The district attorney's office told Politico that's
not true. Really, hold on, We've got the proof that

(13:22):
it is. Quote. In the latest case of the national
immigration debate, royaling local politics, Amador County Sheriff Gary Redman
told a House Judiciary committee about a twenty twenty five
plea agreement that lowered a defendant's felony charge to a
simple misdemeanor. Redmond said the county DIA's office negotiated a

(13:43):
lesser deal in part because of my publicly stated position
regarding cooperation with Ice and the likelihood that Ice would
be notified upon his relief release if he were found
guilty of a felony under SP fifty four. The sheriff

(14:05):
could have contacted Ice because that law, while being a
sanctuary state law, still allows certain coordination and collaboration if
a person in custody has been convicted of certain crimes,
so they are low balling the punishment and the charges

(14:31):
for illegal immigrants. And I mean, I guess you could
say they're liberals, so they don't go after criminals writ large,
they cater to criminals. But if you're an illegal immigrant, oh,
you get a special helping of pity and leniency and accommodation.

(14:54):
Let me remind you that the case that's being cited
here involves a child sex predator. They're willing to let
a child sex predator who shouldn't be here in the
first place because they're illegal. They're willing to let him
have a lighter sentence because they want to keep him

(15:17):
out and about in the street. They want to keep
that criminal in the community. The DA says, oh, no,
we wouldn't do that. Really. Well, take a look at
Assembly Bill twenty six sixty nine, introduced by Los Angeles

(15:38):
assembly Member Tim Gibson, And what does this bill require. Well, first,
it mandates that prosecutors under state law are mandated to
confer with defense counsel in a case involving an illegal

(15:59):
immigrant to explore any alternative pleas or sentences that would
lessen any immigration penalties that would lessen the risk of deportation.
Let me make it quite clear. This district attorney said, oh,
we would never do that. Now you have a bill

(16:20):
that says you are going to be required to do that,
and I know that they're doing it because most of
these das and judges are liberals and they want to
help the illegals, even if it means unequal treatment, which
is against the for fourteenth Amendment. Fourteenth Amendment says people,
when government provides a service or adjudicates a crime, engages

(16:43):
in criminal justice, you cannot treat people differently based on status,
based on skin color. You cannot treat people differently. Citizen
commit crime, they get it a harsher sentence. And these
are what these liberal woke, dangerous sorrows prosecutors and judges

(17:09):
have been doing all along. But they the reason why
they need Assembly build twenty six to sixty nine is
they know there's actually some some not enough, but some
prosecutors and judges that aren't going to do this crap.
So you know what the liberals did, like CHURLA Coalition

(17:30):
for Humane Immigrant Rights LA, these groups all got together
and said some of the prosecutors actually want to they
want to punish criminals. Some of the prosecutors don't want
to allow illegal immigrants out the door. We've got to
stop them. We have to force them to give special treatment.

(17:52):
And that is Assembly Build twenty six to sixty nine.
Oh and you know what happens against the time. You
know what happens if you don't comply with this law
as a prosecutor or a judge. Coming up, I'll tell
you the penalty for a judge or prosecutor if they
don't go light on the illegal immigrant and treat them

(18:14):
with a lesser punishment than a citizen. All that and more.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Kf I AM six forty and on the iHeartRadio app
Karl Demyo sitting in for John Cobalt. We are talking
about how illegal immigrants get treated so much better than Oh,
I don't know, us normal folk, US citizens. You would
think that it's our country folks that were complaining that
illegal immigrants are getting so much better than we get.

(18:52):
We we we are a nation of immigrants. So don't
get me wrong. I'm not a nash List, I'm not
a xenophobic, not a racist. We are actually a great
country because we've gotten people from all around the world
to come here, people who are the best of the best,

(19:14):
because who else has the hutzpah, the courage, the drive
to pack up everything, generation after a generation two hundred
fifty years agoing pack up everything in a country that
they know and in a language that they know, with
all their friends and family, and they go across a

(19:34):
very long distance, a dangerous trek, to get to America
just because they want a better opportunity. They're not They
never came here generation after a generation expecting handouts. They
didn't want freebies. They weren't coming to commit crimes. They
were coming just for a better opportunity. And so, as

(19:55):
someone who wants to keep America great, I want to
continue to have robust immigration. Legal immigration, that's the catch. Oh,
but that makes Democrats so angry. Legal immigration. Do you
mean we have to vet them?

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Wait, wait, you mean that we have to not accept
everyone who just simply decides that they need to show up.
We have to have a process. We have to make
it sustainable. What do you mean that they can't expect
handouts when they get here. That's right, we want the
best of the best. We want people who are courageous

(20:34):
and just looking for an opportunity, because that's the sort
of fiber that builds an amazing country, and that's what
we've seen for generation after generation. So we are not
anti immigrant. We don't treat people differently based on skin
color or religion. We just want people to follow the
rules and not come here and say the first thing
out of their mouth, I get a handout, I have rights,

(20:54):
I get this, I got that, and if you don't
agree with me, you're a racist. But here we have
Assembly built twenty six to sixty nine that is basically
imposing a new state law that tells prosecutors and judges
that they are instructed to treat illegal immigrants better than citizens,

(21:16):
that they are supposed to make sure that an illegal
immigrant doesn't get a sentence that could put them in
jeopardy of being deported, even if that meant that the
crime ordinarily would require that sentence or that judgment. But
because they're an illegal, we're going to go light on them.
But if you're a citizen and you did the same crime,

(21:36):
you will have the book thrown at you. That's what
Assembly build twenty six sixty nine does so it requires
that the prosecutor and the judge look out for that
and give a lighter sentence. Then it punishes the judge
or the prosecutor if they don't give a lighter sentence.
It says quote AB Twenty six to sixty nine establishes

(21:59):
a violation presumption if defense shows that an alternative offer
could have been offered by the prosecution, and the prosecution
rejected alternative offers from defense without good cause. And finally,

(22:22):
it tells judges that they must hold hearings and impose
quote appropriate legal remedies and sanctions and punishment if the
prosecution fails to show good cause for declining quote immigration
safe alternatives. This is what democrats want. They don't have

(22:48):
enough George Soros prosecutors and judges out there to give
the freebies and the light sentences out, so now they're
making it a mandate under state law and associating a
punishment with it. You can't make this crap up, but
there's something we can do about it coming up. I

(23:10):
keep telling you, if you get upset about these bad policies,
don't just yell and scream and have your blood pressure
go up. Do something about it. I'll remind you what
you can do easy this October. It's not just voting.
It takes more than just voting, although that's a good start. Plus,

(23:30):
did you see this story about politicians using Yelp, these
various online survey rating platforms, Well, what do you think?
Who do you think is the worst politician when it
comes to comments on various establishments they've been to. So

(23:55):
a publication La Material went and looked at the Yelp
review for a bunch of politicians and you won't believe
what some of them complained about. All that and more
coming up.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Carl DeMaio sitting in for John Cobelt on KFI AM
six forty. Coming up in our four o'clock hour, Corruption
in Sacramento, gambling in Vegas. Who would have thought? Yeah,
Gavin Newsom is blaming it all on a partisan witch
hunt by Donald Trump. But yeah, there's a lot more
to it than that. Yeah, he's in some hot water

(24:34):
and one of his former political advisors wore a wire.
Never a good sign when someone in the inner circle
is wearing an FBI wire. And people have already pled guilty.
I will walk you through what's happened so far, what
Newsom should be worried about, and why this is actually happening. No,

(24:58):
it has nothing to do with Donald Trump. But first
we are looking at Yelp reviews made by California's leading politicians. Look,
I'm a politician. I hate that word, by the way.
I'm more of an agitator, activist, crusader. But anyway, but
I don't go on and do Yelp reviews because it's

(25:20):
nobody's business and I know that I'm a public official,
and so it's just it's not appropriate. And most politicians
kind of have I guess the same policy I do.
Because an outfit called the La Material put together a

(25:41):
whole study on politicians Yelp reviews going back all the
way to twenty sixteen, and most politicians gave five stars
and had very little activity on their Yelp platforms. But
one prominent California politician engaged in a lot of Yelp
reviews and they were not kind. Who do you think

(26:03):
it was, mad Maxine Waters Gaven Newsom, Nancy Pelosi. Nope,
it was Congresswoman Katie Porter.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
No.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Surprise there, man. She is a very unhappy lady, very unhappy. Uh,
she screams at her staff, she poured uh, scalding potatoes
on her husband's head, and on Yelp, she lives up
to that reputation. She left one Yelp review for a

(26:43):
group called Massage Heights. Would you like to massage Katie Porter? Oh?
Just that. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to
be offensive or mean, but I just saw that she
went to a massage parlor. God, I wish, you know,
I wish they could have a five YELP review on
Katie Porter. Anyway. She went to Massage Heights in twenty

(27:06):
seventeen in Sherman Oaks, and she wrote quote, if you
want consistent good service and want to patronize a place
that treats employees with respect, I would never recommend this.
I cannot continue in good conscience to be a patron
even though it is very convenient as a location and
a nice facility. You know what, I'm sure that the
people that had to massage Katie Porter, probably worth third,

(27:30):
were thrilled that she wasn't gonna come back. Don't have
to touch that one anymore. I cannot, in good conscience
be a good patron. Okay, good, you got a conscience.
You shouldn't have been there in the first place. She says,
basically that the management had problems, claiming employees left the

(27:52):
spa and that they were treated unfairly. They were treated
unfairly because you showed up, my dear. Next, she went
to Tony Pepperoni Pizzeria in I don't know where that is,
but also Irvine Yellowcap two companies, and she gave them

(28:13):
a two star and a one star rating, respectively. The
pizza shop she visited in July of twenty thirteen, she said,
quote horrible service on delivery. I ordered at four thirty nine.
I'm told thirty five to forty minutes. I called a
check at forty minutes. Driver on the way. I call
again at five thirty one, fifty two minutes later, he says,

(28:38):
driver will call me. He doesn't. I have twenty angry,
hungry kids. Now you did it. You had yourself. Don't
stand between Katie Porter and her fifty pizzas that she ordered.
She did say, however, quote pizza was decent when it arrived,
but in the future allow ample time. Aha, am I

(29:02):
being mean. I'm not being mean. She's she shouldn't be
engaging in this. I'm sorry. I know you're a public
visual you should have the right to do whatever, but
it's just it's not done. This is not appropriate. On
the cab company, she said quote I had a horrible
experience with this company. I called the night before to
book a cab at six am. At six oh three,

(29:22):
no cab. So I called to check five minutes away,
called again at six to eleven, put on hold and
disconnected because you were screaming at them. I'm up against
the time. You ought to check out this story. These
easy help reviews from Katie Porter insane, almost to the

(29:44):
level of get out of my blanking shot that she
screamed at her poor staff member a few years ago
on tape. Katie Porter, I think California voters gave you
a one star YELP review. Yeah, yeah, you basically got
your butt kicked. All right. Coming up, we're gonna talk
about Gavin Newsom's criminal problems and they are significant and real.

(30:09):
I'll make you the smart one at the dinner party
by giving you the lowdown on everything and why this
continues to happen in California with these indictments. Kf I
