Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to the show.
I feel like gone for two weeks. You have. That
was a long slough.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You left me here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I was here.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You let us here.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well, you can see how important you are. She was alone.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I did because Eric was in his little box and
I was in mine. And you know you at least
come and visit.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, yeah, so you were in isolation.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It was so lonely here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Solitary confinement totally. I wonder what that means.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
We'll come work a real holiday.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I think when's the last time I worked on a
Memorial Day? I can't remember. You know, we're on every
day from one to four, excluding holidays, and the shows.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Are still here.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well, I was here, best of Well is that what
they call it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I didn't think it was the best of.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But and you wonder why you're in isolation? And why
I don't show up at a hospital, don't come visit you?
You're talking about him on my work.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
That was Eric's decision. Everything selected was Eric. Yeah, all right, Well,
now you've made that, you've you've made no friends so far.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You know what I'm used to that we're only.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Two minutes in. Uh. Anyway, we're on from one to
four after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app and you could listen to what you missed.
Apparently the most exciting thing to happen over the weekend
was this, uh, this mob that went berserk in downtown
Los Angeles. That thousand people early Sunday morning, A thousand
(01:47):
people in downtown a la uh dandalizing and according to
Karen Bass, it was just pandemonium. Everybody just you know
what berserk? And why would that be? Karen? It's because
they know there's no consequences. You can go. A thousand
(02:10):
people could decide, you know, they must have transmitted messages
online to call the group together, Hey let's go riot
downtown Saturday night. Because what are they gonna do? What's
Karen Bask gonna do? She's asleep and you know the
way she was asleep for much of the fire. She's
(02:31):
not gonna do anything. But two days later she'll issue
a statement that she's outraged. She'll stick her head in
front of a camera saying she's shocked at all this
two days later. But there is no sense among most
of the riff raff in Los Angeles that there are
any consequences to acting violently and acting violently as a mob.
(02:54):
They had a briefing yesterday with Jim McDonald, the police chief.
She wanted to know why no arrests were made. Arrests
are never made for mobs that go crazy, like during
the George Floyd riots. There weren't many arrests compared to
the number of people that were protesting or if that's
(03:16):
what you want to call what they were doing. How
many protests do we have in LA? They shut down
the one on one frequently, they shut down all the
major downtown roads. Nobody ever gets arrested. It's legal to
do this stuff in practice, so you get the Channel
seven rights. The mayhem has prompted a strong rebuke from Bass.
(03:42):
Oh wow, a strong rebuke. Well that'll teach everybody. That'll
put them in their place. Can you imagine how terrified
all these thugs and goons are that they were strongly
rebuked by the mayor. She says, it is unacceptable under
any in all circumstances, and those people that perpetuated this
(04:03):
have to be held accountable to the fullest extent of
the law. Even if you did, it wouldn't be much
of a con It wouldn't be much of a consequence
because your fellow travelers in Sacramento have completely destroyed the
legal system. So none of these people are going to
go to jail for any length of time. In fact,
(04:25):
I would say nearly all of them will never see jail.
Most of them will never be arrested, and if they're arrested,
they'll get a citation. It'll be a misdemeanor. Nobody goes
to jails, goes to jail for misdemeanors. We're gonna be told, well,
we couldn't identify on the videos. That's what Jim McDonald
says he's doing. They're looking at the video. Has anybody
(04:49):
been arrested off a video? I don't know about this case.
I've studied the videos, but most of the time everybody
shows up in the dark wearing hoodies. Some guy was
fire breathing. Did you uh God? I found the story
that came from right after this happened, and I love
the La Times. You know, A part of it is
(05:09):
the media is just a bunch of sissies. It's unclear
why dozens of people converged at the intersection to Washington
in Maple. This is by Matthew or Ormseth. It's unclear. No,
it's it's clear. They wanted a riot because it's fun
to riot. You get drunk, you get high, you get crazy,
(05:30):
and you start doing damage. Gets all the testosterone going.
You know, it's a it's a night out with your buddies,
you make new friends. Just keep sitting on your phone,
scrolling and see where this night's riot is going to
take place. Some were dressed to party, wearing pink platform
heels and cat ears. Were you there? I missed it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I was busy that night.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
A man gulped from a jug filled with a flammable
wicket with from filled with a flammable liquid, and he
spat it onto a torch, throwing flames into the night sky.
How far did this guy spit? Really? He spit on
a torch and flames went soaring into the light. Wow,
that's a that's the helves of a spit. Guy with
(06:20):
a leather jacket clambered up a light pole, his feet
perched on a street sign. He should have been shot
off the light pole. You know when the police start
doing that, when they start getting a sniper for us
out and then picking these guys off bad, that'll into mayhem.
He pulled out his phone and appeared to record himself
talking to the camera. Isn't that great a selfie video?
(06:42):
Standing on a street sign, climbing up a light pole?
This but these these are genius graduates from the Los
Angeles Public school system. Then the mob, and again there
was over a thousand people. They their attention turned to
an a train which had stopped along Washington Boulevard. Here's
(07:03):
a good reason to take a metro chaining, huh? According
to the video, vandals within the crowd began spray painting
the train and hammering on the windows. Can you imagine
being inside of that as the train makes a stop
and you've got a thousand people banging on the windows.
The LAPD was alerted at twelve to twelve am five
(07:26):
people entered a train car and were vandalizing the interior.
Dozens of LAPD offers massed in a skirmish line across
the street, and they had their riot guns firing foam rounds.
Why foam rounds? How about a few real rounds like,
I don't know one out of every ten a real round.
Let's play roulette with these guys, see what happens. And
(07:49):
then there was a call of people being disruptive on
another train. Some in the crowd posed for selfies next
to a spray painted APD cruiser. Look at that. They
don't know if anybody got arrested. The crowd was spray
painting the facades of a Panda Express, a waba grill,
(08:12):
a dialysis center, and a medical clinic. Total savages, just
complete savage behavior. This is like animals coming out of
a zoo. The vandal spray painted the exterior and interior
of a train and so then then two days later
Karen Bass said, this is unacceptable, it's unacceptable. She's she's
(08:44):
very angry. And what they will not do is tell
the truth that most of these people will never be caught,
not be prosecuted, certainly not be jailed. We cannot do
this to our city. It has to be stopped. You're
in charge of the city. It's your police department. You're
the one who neuters the police department. You neuter Jim McDonald,
(09:08):
you neuter the cops. They'll be happy to whale away
on these guys. But you won't let them. You never
let them. And that's why any group of one hundred
or a thousand people can come and shut down any roadway,
any freeway, terrorize any bus, subway car, people just try.
You wonder, every single person that I know will not
(09:29):
go downtown at night. Everyone doesn't matter what kind of
restaurants are down there, what kind of theater, what kind
of cool shows, what LA Live is. Nobody goes down
there from my side of town because they're afraid they'll
get killed. And she's done nothing to stop it. It
looks like they do fire rubber bullets. Eventually, that's not bad.
(09:53):
Rubber bullets hurt. You just have to fire stuff at
these people that hurt. If you don't do that, I
mean and putting him in jail, you know, just blast
him with about twelve rubber bullets. Well, now she's outraged.
I guess she's really gonna run for reelection. Huh tied
to get outraged about stuff that happens constantly.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Was there any doubt, any doubt about what she was
going to run for reelection?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, No, But I think now she's showing signs that
she's going to actively campaign by by getting upset over
this sort of thing. All right, we've got more coming up.
But yeah, Bill is Saley, the US attorney, coming on
after one point thirty. I'll tell you what he'll be
talking about, something, something really cool.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Boys fine for Friday. Oh we have a short week,
so you better start now and begin raging eight seven
seven Moist steady six eight seven seven mois staighty six,
who used the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Well,
try ump has really taking it to Gavin Newsom about
transgender athletes competing in women's sports, high school sports. Because
(11:11):
in the past week, there's a California high school junior,
a boy who won the girl's long jump and the
girls triple jump at the CIF Southern Section Master's Meet.
That's the California Interscholastic Federation, that's the governing body for
high school sports. So he wins at the CIF Southern
(11:33):
Section Master's Meet, champion girls long jump jump, champion girls
triple jump. He's a guy, biological man, transgender. And Gavin
Newsom on his own podcast, which you can hear on
the iHeartMedia app has said that it's deeply unfair for
(11:55):
biological men to compete in women's sports. All right, so
you think that since Newsom thinks it's deeply unfair that
they'd start tossing out these biological boys out of girls sports, Well,
Trump got writo this, and he's threatening to cut federal
(12:16):
funding to California. You know, this is one of his
rants on truth social So it's not clear if he's
threatening to cut all funding to California or just funding
related to schools or athletic programs. I mean, I don't know.
Billions of dollars come in hundreds of different ways between
(12:37):
the federal government and the state. And you know, if
he's up at two o'clock in the morning and he
suddenly starts ranting, you don't know what specifically he means,
if anything, But he directed it to Newsom. He said
the state continues to in capital letterslegally allow capital letters
(13:03):
men to play in women's sports, and Trump said I
will speak to him today to find out which way
he wants to go. In the meantime, I'm ordering local authorities,
if necessary, to not allow the transition person to compete
in the state finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation.
And I believe there are three exclamation points after that,
(13:26):
And he's right. I didn't have daughters, but if my
daughter was one of the best. I don't think people
understand how hard athletes work. I had. One of my
sons is an athlete. It's still playing baseball. And when
you're serious, when you hit the level where you're capable
(13:49):
of winning a state championship, it consumes your life. You're
up at five in the morning, you spend you know,
you might be in the weight room, depending on your sport.
If you're a runner, you're running for hours and hours.
You're you're constantly you know, you're you're watching your your
your your diet very carefully. You have to find a
(14:11):
way to fit in your schoolwork, your homework and all that.
You oftentimes give up your social life. It is a
tremendous sacrifice that these kids do. It is not easy.
It takes a lot of training. I I have a
friend whose daughter runs competitively both in high school and
now in college, and it's it's it's so tough. And
(14:35):
then to have a guy come in and suddenly they're
running way ahead of you, and they're standing on the
podium and they're getting the gold medal or they're getting
the all the the applause, and they're written up in
the papers. What this This is completely wrong, absolutely wrong
and unfair. There is no other side to this. If
(14:56):
you're a born, a biological man, you cannot compete against women.
And shame on all the women in this country who
don't stand up for the young girls who are trying
to compete. You know, before the nineteen seventies, there were
no there were no female athletes in high school. It
wasn't even funded. It wasn't until the federal government Congress
(15:17):
funded well past the Title nine Act and forced schools
to come up with programs force them. But that whole
generation of kids in many cities, there was nothing for them,
nothing in high school, nothing recreationally in town. So now
(15:41):
you have a girl. Now you have girls who are
shut out of the championship in the long jump, in
the triple drump because of this guy. And you got
the governor agreeing it's deeply unfair, but true to forum
Newsome is such a snake, such a phony, so full
(16:01):
of his own thess. He doesn't change the law. He
signed the law, and he doesn't have the guts to
stand up and say I need this law repealed. He
had a demand, he had a demand that the legislature
repealed the law. That's what he ought to do. Or
he ought to fund a referendum on the ballot to
(16:23):
repeal the law. That's what he ought to do and
campaign for it. The head of the US Department of
Agriculture conditioned it. Well, let me rephrase this. Back in April,
the head of the US Department of Agriculture wrote a
(16:44):
letter to Newsom saying, federal aid depends on you listening
to Trump directives and some of those were about gender issues,
transgender student right issues, and so they've been warned already.
(17:05):
The state gets sixteen billion dollars a year in education funding,
anything from school meals, disabilities, early education, head start programs.
There's also two billion dollars to counteract the effects of poverty.
(17:29):
And this is these are these are educational grants. I
don't know how much goes to sports. But you know what,
what do he ought to do? You know, this is
what he's been doing. He's just been issuing, issuing blanket
denials of federal aid whenever a university or some state
doesn't listen to the federal directive. And on this, he's
(17:50):
absolutely right. There shouldn't be one boy, one man competing
in any single girls sport anywhere, any sport. It should
be a total ban on that. It's wrong, it's unfair,
it's terrible for the girls. And like I was saying before,
a shame on the women in the schools, in the
(18:12):
administrations of these schools, school districts, who facilitate this stuff,
who defend this stuff, because it was so hard to
get girls' sports funday, it's so hard the way the
girls work out, and now they get smacked in the
face at the exact moment they're supposed to ascend to
the championship because a guy showed up. But you know,
(18:33):
on Tuesday he feels like, well, maybe I'm not a guy,
I'm a girl. Nikes all right more, Oh, we're gonna
have Bill Salley come up next. He's the US Attorney
for the Central District here based in Los Angeles, former
member of the California Legislature, and he has devised a
way to get around sanctuary city sanctuary state policies that
(18:56):
protect illegal alien criminals. It's a pretty clever and it's legal,
and it's already being implemented. And this is what the
federal government should have been doing for many years to
get around Newsome and Karen Bass's stupid sanctuary policies. You'll
hear about it next. It's fascinating.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
We're on every day from one till four o'clock and
then if you miss any part of the show, you
go to the iHeart hat the iHeart app for the
podcast John Cobelt's show on demand and you can listen
to what you miss. Now, you you must stick around
for this whole interview. Because Bill Saley was a former
legislator in Sacramento. He's become the US attorney here in
(19:45):
the Central District of California, and that's La Orange, Riverside,
San Bernardino, Santa barbarav and Taurres, San Luis Obispo Counties.
It is a wide area. It's also home to a
million and a half illegal aliens, not all of them
a people, a lot of dangerous felons, a lot of
gang members, criminals, and of course the big block has
(20:07):
been California's a stupid sanctuary city law which even protects
the worst, most violent felons imaginable. And what Bill A
Sale has done has come up with something called Operation
Guardian Angel to quote neutralize sanctuary state laws. We've got
Bill of Sale coming on now the US Attorney to
(20:29):
explain what Operation Guardian Angel is about. Bill.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
How are you hey, John? Doing great? How are you?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'm good? Well, explain what this is what you're attempting
to do here.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, you got to back up a little bit on
what exact we throw around sanctuary city, sanctuary jail, sanctuary
state all the time. What is it? Basically, what it
is is a law that prohibits local law enforcement from
cooperating with immigration officials, and most importantly, it prevents them
from honoring an ICE detainer. An ICE detainer is an
administrative warrant or an order which says, hey, this guy
(21:04):
you have or lady you have in jail is an
illegal immigrant. We're going to deport them, so don't let
them out. We're going to come pick them up. Please
hold them. And in California they will not hold them.
They will release them back into the street, even though
they've committed a crime or their criminal if they get bonded,
they just release them out. They ignore the detainer, and
(21:25):
so that is obviously being litigated. The Trump administration is
fighting aggressively to combat those policies. But in the meantime,
you know, I got together with my team and I said, well,
we got to do something about this. We've got all
these criminals in jail and we should be able to
go get them. So what we did is we got
a little creative. We said, Okay, forget the detainers, let's
(21:46):
just start getting arrest warrants, criminal judicial arrest warrants. Almost
all of these individuals have committed some sort of federal crime.
If you've been deported and you come back, it's called
illegal re entry. It's a felony. If you're a alien
and you got arrested with a gun, that's a federal
crime alien and possession of a firearm. There's a lot
(22:07):
of there's a myriad of charges we can use to
get a complaint on file and a warrant issued on
these aliens in jail custody. And the way this is working, John,
is the reason I called it Operation Guarden Angel. We
literally have a team of a few dozen agents, special
agents across the street from me. They're looking at the
jail databases in real time. As someone's booked in, we
(22:31):
immediately look at their immigration records, and we're riding a
criminal warrant and getting an a rest warrant within like
two hours, within a couple hours of when they hit
the jail. And what that does is it prevents them
from getting released. They cannot ignore an arrest warrant, a
federal rest warrant, and we can go get them from
the county jails. So that's an essence how it works.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
So how long does it take to You said, a
couple hours to get the warrant and you have to
go to a judge to get that an issue it
go ahead?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
No, no, you got to. You got to. You got
to write an affidavid statement of probable cause. Although it's
pretty simple for these cases. It's a this person does
not have legal status and they are in the country.
It's pretty easy elements to meet on a lot of these.
So we write the warrant, we take it to that,
we write the affidated, we take it to the judge.
The judge signs the warrant and we're doing this around
(23:23):
the clock, so we'll do after our warrants, we'll do
it on the weekends, we'll do it whenever, wherever to
make sure these people don't get released from a sanctuary jail,
and then you go get them, and then we go
get them when their case is over. When they get released.
I mean, if they're being held on a serious charge
in jail, we want them to finish their state case
and then when they're done, they'll be handed over to
(23:44):
our custody. But if they have a relatively minor case,
john like a dui or petty theft or something, they're
not going to get sent They're not going to sit
in jail. They're going to get released. So if they
get released by the state, then they come into our custody.
We go get them.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
If they get convicted of a serious felony, do you
let them play out their prison sentence first, yes.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yes, and then they'll have a they'll have a prize
ready for them. At the end, they'll have a new
case that they will pick up and they'll come here
and be prosecuted on that case when they're done with
their staycase.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And this always could have been done if somebody bothered
to do it. I mean, you're not inventing new law here.
This all always you were capable or your predecessors will
cap them.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
No, you're right, I mean we're not. We're following the
law on the books. You know. One of the reporters
asked me, like, well, what are you going to you know,
what are you going to say to the local electeds
or the governor If they have a problem with this,
I say, go take it up with Congress. Congress writes
the laws, we enforce them. If you don't like the law,
go change the law. But we're not going to pick
and choose what laws to enforce here. We're going to
(24:48):
enforce the law in the books. But the left is
is smart, John, and they wrote these laws. They wrote
sanctuary laws in a way to say, well, just go
get a warrant. That's very easy to say, but as
you can see, it is very resource intensive. It takes
a lot of work to have an agent review someone's file,
their immigration file, their criminal history, ride an affidavid, take
it to a judge, have a judge review it, and
(25:10):
get it signed. It's a very onerous and resource intensive process.
But I've made the decision to go ahead and invest
the resources because we want to flood the system with warrants.
We want to prove a point that there is no
sanctuary and we will get these criminal aliens whether they
like it or not. And I'm willing to use all
the tools I have in resources I need in the
meantime to accomplish that so that but they know it's
(25:33):
going to take a lot more work on our part.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I've heard California officials say that repeatedly away and criticized
about sanctuary cities or states or jails or whatever. They say, well,
they can go get a federal warrant from a judge.
We'll certainly honor that. They just haven't produced one in
this case. So now you're going to produce them.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
We're going to produce it. We're going to call them out,
We're going to call their bluff. We're going to do it.
And what they're doing in the meantime, John is they're
making it worse for these criminal aliens because had they
just honored the ICE detainer, they probably would just be
picked up and deported. Not what they're forcing me to
do is criminally prosecute the alien before they're deported. So
not only are they going to get deported, but they're
(26:13):
probably going to serve a couple of years in federal
prison before their deportation. So is is that really what
they're trying to accomplish her? Because that's what they're forcing
me to do.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So somebody who gets convicted of a serious crime in
the state will serve a prison term in state prison,
then go to federal prison for re entering the country illegally,
for example, and then get deported.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yes, or if they haven't committed a serious crime, they'll
say they're here in a dui, but they've re entered
un lawfully. Then they're going to serve a prison sentence
before their deportation.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Right, So they're going to end up in a federal
prison triggered by the dui.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Correct, And that's a result of the policies of these
policymakers in California. Wow, they're responsible.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
That is a great strategy. How many people do you
think you can nail over the next few years?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
So, well, you'll love these stats. So my predecessor in
this office, the prior US attorney, filed almost none of
these thirteen twenty six cases. Zero thirteen twenty six is
a charge for illegal reentry. We are now just you know,
five months into to the new year. I think we
(27:19):
filed almost four hundred cases of thirteen twenty six is
as far as getting people directly from the jails, we
think once we're fully operational and we have this down,
we're thinking of we're looking at forty to fifty bodies
a week from the local jails.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Wow, wow, Bill, Great, John this is exciting. Rarely get
news like this, So congratulations and keep talking with us.
If an update us on how well this is going
in the future.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I will, I will. And there's one thing, Johnson, you
got to call the governor out because he always says this.
He goes, well, we we do comply with ice detainers.
He's lying.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
He oh no, you're kidding me. New some sly.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Let me tell you how he wrote the law. How
the law was written. The prison, the state prison which
he runs, has the option of whether they want to
comply with an IS cittainer or not. The local jails,
the sheriffs do not have an option. They are not
allowed to comply. So yes, when he has a really
bad case hit the headlines, he says, oh no, no, no,
we're going to hand him over to Ice. Nothing to
see here. It is not true for local jails. County
(28:23):
sheriffs do not have the discretion to comply. Only he does.
So that's how they write the laws. And then when
you have one of these bad cases like this guy
up in the I think it was Ventura who was
picked up in April. He was let out with an
isenttainer and he killed his son two weeks later, and
he left him in a hot car. Yeah, and he says, well,
that's the locals, they let him out. You should go
talk to them.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah. He's such a rat I swear.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
And he's blamed Todd Spitzer for the DUI guy that
killed Deck, that innocent young nineteen year old couple.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah, he's good at those misdirection tricks. All right, Bell,
thanks for coming on with us.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Thank you, Johnny time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
All right. The US Attorney for the Central District covering
most of southern California, BILLI. Sally, And they have a
way to get criminals who've broken the law here in
California and who also have broken federal immigration law, to
get them an extra prison term in federal prison and
then eventually deported it's called Operation Guardian Angel It's a
(29:23):
way or around the Sanctuary City. Nonsense. More coming up.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Coming up after two o'clock. This just happened. The idiot
mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bess, has signed a thirty
dollars an hour minimum wage ordinance for hotel workers, tourism workers.
We're going to have Jackie FeelA on, the president and
CEO of the Hotel Association of Los Angeles. This is
(29:56):
big trouble for the tourism industry here in LA. Thirty
bucks an hour is more than many of them can afford, obviously,
so it's nuts. But Karen Bass never stopping in her
quest to destroy Los Angeles. We'll talk about that coming
up after two o'clock. I think we ran a spot
in the last commercial break for stimulant use disorder. You
(30:21):
know somebody who's overstimulated on drugs. Here's an example, a
man in Florida, of course, Timothy Schultz, forty two meth addict.
He had so much myth he jumped into a lake
infested with alligators.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Idiot.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Somebody saw him and threw him a life fest. He
didn't want the life fest. He started growling, growling, growling
at the good Samaritan who tossed him a life fest.
And then one of the alligators bit him on his
right thigh. Well, he deserved it, and it didn't stop him.
(31:05):
Though may have been his arm, it didn't stop him.
He continued on a rampage. Schultz suddenly emerged from the
lake after being bitten and grabbed a pair of garden
shears from a nearby home. The cops showed up Schultz then,
(31:25):
you know, and he's got the bleeding alligator wound, charges
at them with the with the garden shears. One of
them fired a stun gun. Taser had no effect. Then
he tried to jump into the patrol vehicle and steal
one of the guns, and then the deputies shot him
(31:48):
multiple times. And the quote from the sheriffs is, as
a result, Timothy is deceased.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I mean, I'm we're not laughing that there's a dead man.
I am, well, I'm not okay, okay, so email John,
you can distance yourself.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
But what I don't remember smile tells a different story,
though I'm.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Not I'm just thinking I don't understand why the alligator
didn't eat him.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I think he jumped out of the too quick and
the lake too quickly. Yeah, the bike probably enraged him.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, I mean, I've never done meth, but from what
I hear, myth makes.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You crazy, sure, and you end up growling, I mean
growling people trying to help you. It turns out you
might be surprised. He had a lengthy drug wrap sheet. No,
and he had just been released from County jail on
May twentieth, just a few days ago, following another meth bust.
And of course they're putting the deputies on administrative leave
(32:52):
like they did something wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
What was I don't understand what they were supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
He was he was stealing a gun from a patrol car. Yeah,
what are they supposed to do? Shoot me? And if
you see is his bugshot? Yeah, he looks like meth
crazed Florida man. He dives into an alligator infested John.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
He wasn't thinking straight. He didn't know there were alligators there.
He didn't realize.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, according to the sheriff, if you're on enough meth,
then the person you see is not the person that's attacking.
In other words, that's not the real Timothy, not the
real Timothy Schultz.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
See that that was the He's really a nice guy, really.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
A nice guy when he's not on an overdose of myth. Okay,
he doesn't normally go after you with garden.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Shears, and he doesn't normally jump into an alligator infested
right late.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, but how about that alligator bites you and you
just shake it off.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Wow, I mean that's kind of cool. I'm not feeling
that that would hurt.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I saw a guy on meth once in my life
who exhibited superhuman strength at my kid's little league baseball
field years ago. It was enclosed with a series of fences.
This guy got caught in between the fences, homeless guy, right,
and we were trying to have a practice and the
(34:28):
dads started chasing the guy with baseball bats to get
him out. And he was middle aged, he had a paunch,
gray hair, on meth eyes bugged out. The dads chased
him right to a fence which is about twenty feet
tall chaaninling fence. On all of a sudden, he scrambled
up the fence in like a split second, swung his
(34:49):
legs over and then quickly climbed down the other side.
We're all standing there done in shock, mouths open. It's
like it was like a magic trick. How the hell
did he do that? But that's what the meth did
for him. This guy is at least, I don't know,
forty five to fifty years old, out of shape. No
way he could do this. Normally, he couldn't get two
(35:11):
steps up the fence. But the meth, Wow, that's like
rocket fuel. When we come back, we're going to talk
with Jackie FeelA, president and CEO the Hotel Associational Los Angeles,
the idiot mayor. She's not done ruining the city. She
has signed an ordinance so that hotel tourism workers can
(35:34):
make thirty dollars an hour, and some hotels are now
saying we're out when it comes to the Olympics. No
way we can do this. Deborah Mark is live in
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening
to the John Covelt Show podcast. You can always hear
the show live on KFI Am six forty from one
to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome to the show.
I feel like gone for two weeks. You have. That
was a long slough.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You left me here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I was here.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You let us here.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well, you can see how important you are. She was alone.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I did because Eric was in his little box and
I was in mine. And you know you at least
come and visit.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yeah, yeah, so you were in isolation.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It was so lonely here yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Solitary confinement totally. I wonder what that means.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
We'll come work a real holiday.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I think when's the last time I worked on a
Memorial Day? I can't remember. You know, we're on every
day from one to four, excluding holidays, and the shows.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Are still here.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well, I was here, best of Well is that what
they call it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I didn't think it was the best of.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
But and you wonder why you're in isolation? And why
I don't show up at a hospital, don't come visit you?
You're talking about him on my work.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
That was Eric's decision. Everything selected was Eric. Yeah, all right, Well,
now you've made that, you've you've made no friends so far.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
You know what I'm used to that we're only.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Two minutes in. Uh. Anyway, we're on from one to
four after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart app and you could listen to what you missed.
Apparently the most exciting thing to happen over the weekend
was this, uh, this mob that went berserk in downtown
Los Angeles. That thousand people early Sunday morning, A thousand
(01:47):
people in downtown a la uh dandalizing and according to
Karen Bass, it was just pandemonium. Everybody just you know
what berserk? And why would that be? Karen? It's because
they know there's no consequences. You can go. A thousand
(02:10):
people could decide, you know, they must have transmitted messages
online to call the group together, Hey let's go riot
downtown Saturday night. Because what are they gonna do? What's
Karen Bask gonna do? She's asleep and you know the
way she was asleep for much of the fire. She's
(02:31):
not gonna do anything. But two days later she'll issue
a statement that she's outraged. She'll stick her head in
front of a camera saying she's shocked at all this
two days later. But there is no sense among most
of the riff raff in Los Angeles that there are
any consequences to acting violently and acting violently as a mob.
(02:54):
They had a briefing yesterday with Jim McDonald, the police chief.
She wanted to know why no arrests were made. Arrests
are never made for mobs that go crazy, like during
the George Floyd riots. There weren't many arrests compared to
the number of people that were protesting or if that's
(03:16):
what you want to call what they were doing. How
many protests do we have in LA? They shut down
the one on one frequently, they shut down all the
major downtown roads. Nobody ever gets arrested. It's legal to
do this stuff in practice, so you get the Channel
seven rights. The mayhem has prompted a strong rebuke from Bass.
(03:42):
Oh wow, a strong rebuke. Well that'll teach everybody. That'll
put them in their place. Can you imagine how terrified
all these thugs and goons are that they were strongly
rebuked by the mayor. She says, it is unacceptable under
any in all circumstances, and those people that perpetuated this
(04:03):
have to be held accountable to the fullest extent of
the law. Even if you did, it wouldn't be much
of a con It wouldn't be much of a consequence
because your fellow travelers in Sacramento have completely destroyed the
legal system. So none of these people are going to
go to jail for any length of time. In fact,
(04:25):
I would say nearly all of them will never see jail.
Most of them will never be arrested, and if they're arrested,
they'll get a citation. It'll be a misdemeanor. Nobody goes
to jails, goes to jail for misdemeanors. We're gonna be told, well,
we couldn't identify on the videos. That's what Jim McDonald
says he's doing. They're looking at the video. Has anybody
(04:49):
been arrested off a video? I don't know about this case.
I've studied the videos, but most of the time everybody
shows up in the dark wearing hoodies. Some guy was
fire breathing. Did you uh God? I found the story
that came from right after this happened, and I love
the La Times. You know, A part of it is
(05:09):
the media is just a bunch of sissies. It's unclear
why dozens of people converged at the intersection to Washington
in Maple. This is by Matthew or Ormseth. It's unclear. No,
it's it's clear. They wanted a riot because it's fun
to riot. You get drunk, you get high, you get crazy,
(05:30):
and you start doing damage. Gets all the testosterone going.
You know, it's a it's a night out with your buddies,
you make new friends. Just keep sitting on your phone,
scrolling and see where this night's riot is going to
take place. Some were dressed to party, wearing pink platform
heels and cat ears. Were you there? I missed it.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
I was busy that night.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
A man gulped from a jug filled with a flammable
wicket with from filled with a flammable liquid, and he
spat it onto a torch, throwing flames into the night sky.
How far did this guy spit? Really? He spit on
a torch and flames went soaring into the light. Wow,
that's a that's the helves of a spit. Guy with
(06:20):
a leather jacket clambered up a light pole, his feet
perched on a street sign. He should have been shot
off the light pole. You know when the police start
doing that, when they start getting a sniper for us
out and then picking these guys off bad, that'll into mayhem.
He pulled out his phone and appeared to record himself
talking to the camera. Isn't that great a selfie video?
(06:42):
Standing on a street sign, climbing up a light pole?
This but these these are genius graduates from the Los
Angeles Public school system. Then the mob, and again there
was over a thousand people. They their attention turned to
an a train which had stopped along Washington Boulevard. Here's
(07:03):
a good reason to take a metro chaining, huh? According
to the video, vandals within the crowd began spray painting
the train and hammering on the windows. Can you imagine
being inside of that as the train makes a stop
and you've got a thousand people banging on the windows.
The LAPD was alerted at twelve to twelve am five
(07:26):
people entered a train car and were vandalizing the interior.
Dozens of LAPD offers massed in a skirmish line across
the street, and they had their riot guns firing foam rounds.
Why foam rounds? How about a few real rounds like,
I don't know one out of every ten a real round.
Let's play roulette with these guys, see what happens. And
(07:49):
then there was a call of people being disruptive on
another train. Some in the crowd posed for selfies next
to a spray painted APD cruiser. Look at that. They
don't know if anybody got arrested. The crowd was spray
painting the facades of a Panda Express, a waba grill,
(08:12):
a dialysis center, and a medical clinic. Total savages, just
complete savage behavior. This is like animals coming out of
a zoo. The vandal spray painted the exterior and interior
of a train and so then then two days later
Karen Bass said, this is unacceptable, it's unacceptable. She's she's
(08:44):
very angry. And what they will not do is tell
the truth that most of these people will never be caught,
not be prosecuted, certainly not be jailed. We cannot do
this to our city. It has to be stopped. You're
in charge of the city. It's your police department. You're
the one who neuters the police department. You neuter Jim McDonald,
(09:08):
you neuter the cops. They'll be happy to whale away
on these guys. But you won't let them. You never
let them. And that's why any group of one hundred
or a thousand people can come and shut down any roadway,
any freeway, terrorize any bus, subway car, people just try.
You wonder, every single person that I know will not
(09:29):
go downtown at night. Everyone doesn't matter what kind of
restaurants are down there, what kind of theater, what kind
of cool shows, what LA Live is. Nobody goes down
there from my side of town because they're afraid they'll
get killed. And she's done nothing to stop it. It
looks like they do fire rubber bullets. Eventually, that's not bad.
(09:53):
Rubber bullets hurt. You just have to fire stuff at
these people that hurt. If you don't do that, I
mean and putting him in jail, you know, just blast
him with about twelve rubber bullets. Well, now she's outraged.
I guess she's really gonna run for reelection. Huh tied
to get outraged about stuff that happens constantly.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Was there any doubt, any doubt about what she was
going to run for reelection?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, No, But I think now she's showing signs that
she's going to actively campaign by by getting upset over
this sort of thing. All right, we've got more coming up.
But yeah, Bill is Saley, the US attorney, coming on
after one point thirty. I'll tell you what he'll be
talking about, something, something really cool.
Speaker 4 (10:38):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Boys fine for Friday. Oh we have a short week,
so you better start now and begin raging eight seven
seven Moist steady six eight seven seven mois staighty six,
who used the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Well,
try ump has really taking it to Gavin Newsom about
transgender athletes competing in women's sports, high school sports. Because
(11:11):
in the past week, there's a California high school junior,
a boy who won the girl's long jump and the
girls triple jump at the CIF Southern Section Master's Meet.
That's the California Interscholastic Federation, that's the governing body for
high school sports. So he wins at the CIF Southern
(11:33):
Section Master's Meet, champion girls long jump jump, champion girls
triple jump. He's a guy, biological man, transgender. And Gavin
Newsom on his own podcast, which you can hear on
the iHeartMedia app has said that it's deeply unfair for
(11:55):
biological men to compete in women's sports. All right, so
you think that since Newsom thinks it's deeply unfair that
they'd start tossing out these biological boys out of girls sports, Well,
Trump got writo this, and he's threatening to cut federal
(12:16):
funding to California. You know, this is one of his
rants on truth social So it's not clear if he's
threatening to cut all funding to California or just funding
related to schools or athletic programs. I mean, I don't know.
Billions of dollars come in hundreds of different ways between
(12:37):
the federal government and the state. And you know, if
he's up at two o'clock in the morning and he
suddenly starts ranting, you don't know what specifically he means,
if anything, But he directed it to Newsom. He said
the state continues to in capital letterslegally allow capital letters
(13:03):
men to play in women's sports, and Trump said I
will speak to him today to find out which way
he wants to go. In the meantime, I'm ordering local authorities,
if necessary, to not allow the transition person to compete
in the state finals. This is a totally ridiculous situation.
And I believe there are three exclamation points after that,
(13:26):
And he's right. I didn't have daughters, but if my
daughter was one of the best. I don't think people
understand how hard athletes work. I had. One of my
sons is an athlete. It's still playing baseball. And when
you're serious, when you hit the level where you're capable
(13:49):
of winning a state championship, it consumes your life. You're
up at five in the morning, you spend you know,
you might be in the weight room, depending on your sport.
If you're a runner, you're running for hours and hours.
You're you're constantly you know, you're you're watching your your
your your diet very carefully. You have to find a
(14:11):
way to fit in your schoolwork, your homework and all that.
You oftentimes give up your social life. It is a
tremendous sacrifice that these kids do. It is not easy.
It takes a lot of training. I I have a
friend whose daughter runs competitively both in high school and
now in college, and it's it's it's so tough. And
(14:35):
then to have a guy come in and suddenly they're
running way ahead of you, and they're standing on the
podium and they're getting the gold medal or they're getting
the all the the applause, and they're written up in
the papers. What this This is completely wrong, absolutely wrong
and unfair. There is no other side to this. If
(14:56):
you're a born, a biological man, you cannot compete against women.
And shame on all the women in this country who
don't stand up for the young girls who are trying
to compete. You know, before the nineteen seventies, there were
no there were no female athletes in high school. It
wasn't even funded. It wasn't until the federal government Congress
(15:17):
funded well past the Title nine Act and forced schools
to come up with programs force them. But that whole
generation of kids in many cities, there was nothing for them,
nothing in high school, nothing recreationally in town. So now
(15:41):
you have a girl. Now you have girls who are
shut out of the championship in the long jump, in
the triple drump because of this guy. And you got
the governor agreeing it's deeply unfair, but true to forum
Newsome is such a snake, such a phony, so full
(16:01):
of his own thess. He doesn't change the law. He
signed the law, and he doesn't have the guts to
stand up and say I need this law repealed. He
had a demand, he had a demand that the legislature
repealed the law. That's what he ought to do. Or
he ought to fund a referendum on the ballot to
(16:23):
repeal the law. That's what he ought to do and
campaign for it. The head of the US Department of
Agriculture conditioned it. Well, let me rephrase this. Back in April,
the head of the US Department of Agriculture wrote a
(16:44):
letter to Newsom saying, federal aid depends on you listening
to Trump directives and some of those were about gender issues,
transgender student right issues, and so they've been warned already.
(17:05):
The state gets sixteen billion dollars a year in education funding,
anything from school meals, disabilities, early education, head start programs.
There's also two billion dollars to counteract the effects of poverty.
(17:29):
And this is these are these are educational grants. I
don't know how much goes to sports. But you know what,
what do he ought to do? You know, this is
what he's been doing. He's just been issuing, issuing blanket
denials of federal aid whenever a university or some state
doesn't listen to the federal directive. And on this, he's
(17:50):
absolutely right. There shouldn't be one boy, one man competing
in any single girls sport anywhere, any sport. It should
be a total ban on that. It's wrong, it's unfair,
it's terrible for the girls. And like I was saying before,
a shame on the women in the schools, in the
(18:12):
administrations of these schools, school districts, who facilitate this stuff,
who defend this stuff, because it was so hard to
get girls' sports funday, it's so hard the way the
girls work out, and now they get smacked in the
face at the exact moment they're supposed to ascend to
the championship because a guy showed up. But you know,
(18:33):
on Tuesday he feels like, well, maybe I'm not a guy,
I'm a girl. Nikes all right more, Oh, we're gonna
have Bill Salley come up next. He's the US Attorney
for the Central District here based in Los Angeles, former
member of the California Legislature, and he has devised a
way to get around sanctuary city sanctuary state policies that
(18:56):
protect illegal alien criminals. It's a pretty clever and it's legal,
and it's already being implemented. And this is what the
federal government should have been doing for many years to
get around Newsome and Karen Bass's stupid sanctuary policies. You'll
hear about it next. It's fascinating.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
We're on every day from one till four o'clock and
then if you miss any part of the show, you
go to the iHeart hat the iHeart app for the
podcast John Cobelt's show on demand and you can listen
to what you miss. Now, you you must stick around
for this whole interview. Because Bill Saley was a former
legislator in Sacramento. He's become the US attorney here in
(19:45):
the Central District of California, and that's La Orange, Riverside,
San Bernardino, Santa barbarav and Taurres, San Luis Obispo Counties.
It is a wide area. It's also home to a
million and a half illegal aliens, not all of them
a people, a lot of dangerous felons, a lot of
gang members, criminals, and of course the big block has
(20:07):
been California's a stupid sanctuary city law which even protects
the worst, most violent felons imaginable. And what Bill A
Sale has done has come up with something called Operation
Guardian Angel to quote neutralize sanctuary state laws. We've got
Bill of Sale coming on now the US Attorney to
(20:29):
explain what Operation Guardian Angel is about. Bill.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
How are you hey, John? Doing great? How are you?
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I'm good? Well, explain what this is what you're attempting
to do here.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Yeah, you got to back up a little bit on
what exact we throw around sanctuary city, sanctuary jail, sanctuary
state all the time. What is it? Basically, what it
is is a law that prohibits local law enforcement from
cooperating with immigration officials, and most importantly, it prevents them
from honoring an ICE detainer. An ICE detainer is an
administrative warrant or an order which says, hey, this guy
(21:04):
you have or lady you have in jail is an
illegal immigrant. We're going to deport them, so don't let
them out. We're going to come pick them up. Please
hold them. And in California they will not hold them.
They will release them back into the street, even though
they've committed a crime or their criminal if they get bonded,
they just release them out. They ignore the detainer, and
(21:25):
so that is obviously being litigated. The Trump administration is
fighting aggressively to combat those policies. But in the meantime,
you know, I got together with my team and I said, well,
we got to do something about this. We've got all
these criminals in jail and we should be able to
go get them. So what we did is we got
a little creative. We said, Okay, forget the detainers, let's
(21:46):
just start getting arrest warrants, criminal judicial arrest warrants. Almost
all of these individuals have committed some sort of federal crime.
If you've been deported and you come back, it's called
illegal re entry. It's a felony. If you're a alien
and you got arrested with a gun, that's a federal
crime alien and possession of a firearm. There's a lot
(22:07):
of there's a myriad of charges we can use to
get a complaint on file and a warrant issued on
these aliens in jail custody. And the way this is working, John,
is the reason I called it Operation Guarden Angel. We
literally have a team of a few dozen agents, special
agents across the street from me. They're looking at the
jail databases in real time. As someone's booked in, we
(22:31):
immediately look at their immigration records, and we're riding a
criminal warrant and getting an a rest warrant within like
two hours, within a couple hours of when they hit
the jail. And what that does is it prevents them
from getting released. They cannot ignore an arrest warrant, a
federal rest warrant, and we can go get them from
the county jails. So that's an essence how it works.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
So how long does it take to You said, a
couple hours to get the warrant and you have to
go to a judge to get that an issue it
go ahead?
Speaker 3 (23:02):
No, no, you got to. You got to. You got
to write an affidavid statement of probable cause. Although it's
pretty simple for these cases. It's a this person does
not have legal status and they are in the country.
It's pretty easy elements to meet on a lot of these.
So we write the warrant, we take it to that,
we write the affidated, we take it to the judge.
The judge signs the warrant and we're doing this around
(23:23):
the clock, so we'll do after our warrants, we'll do
it on the weekends, we'll do it whenever, wherever to
make sure these people don't get released from a sanctuary jail,
and then you go get them, and then we go
get them when their case is over. When they get released.
I mean, if they're being held on a serious charge
in jail, we want them to finish their state case
and then when they're done, they'll be handed over to
(23:44):
our custody. But if they have a relatively minor case,
john like a dui or petty theft or something, they're
not going to get sent They're not going to sit
in jail. They're going to get released. So if they
get released by the state, then they come into our custody.
We go get them.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
If they get convicted of a serious felony, do you
let them play out their prison sentence first, yes.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Yes, and then they'll have a they'll have a prize
ready for them. At the end, they'll have a new
case that they will pick up and they'll come here
and be prosecuted on that case when they're done with
their staycase.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
And this always could have been done if somebody bothered
to do it. I mean, you're not inventing new law here.
This all always you were capable or your predecessors will
cap them.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
No, you're right, I mean we're not. We're following the
law on the books. You know. One of the reporters
asked me, like, well, what are you going to you know,
what are you going to say to the local electeds
or the governor If they have a problem with this,
I say, go take it up with Congress. Congress writes
the laws, we enforce them. If you don't like the law,
go change the law. But we're not going to pick
and choose what laws to enforce here. We're going to
(24:48):
enforce the law in the books. But the left is
is smart, John, and they wrote these laws. They wrote
sanctuary laws in a way to say, well, just go
get a warrant. That's very easy to say, but as
you can see, it is very resource intensive. It takes
a lot of work to have an agent review someone's file,
their immigration file, their criminal history, ride an affidavid, take
it to a judge, have a judge review it, and
(25:10):
get it signed. It's a very onerous and resource intensive process.
But I've made the decision to go ahead and invest
the resources because we want to flood the system with warrants.
We want to prove a point that there is no
sanctuary and we will get these criminal aliens whether they
like it or not. And I'm willing to use all
the tools I have in resources I need in the
meantime to accomplish that so that but they know it's
(25:33):
going to take a lot more work on our part.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I've heard California officials say that repeatedly away and criticized
about sanctuary cities or states or jails or whatever. They say, well,
they can go get a federal warrant from a judge.
We'll certainly honor that. They just haven't produced one in
this case. So now you're going to produce them.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
We're going to produce it. We're going to call them out,
We're going to call their bluff. We're going to do it.
And what they're doing in the meantime, John is they're
making it worse for these criminal aliens because had they
just honored the ICE detainer, they probably would just be
picked up and deported. Not what they're forcing me to
do is criminally prosecute the alien before they're deported. So
not only are they going to get deported, but they're
(26:13):
probably going to serve a couple of years in federal
prison before their deportation. So is is that really what
they're trying to accomplish her? Because that's what they're forcing
me to do.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
So somebody who gets convicted of a serious crime in
the state will serve a prison term in state prison,
then go to federal prison for re entering the country illegally,
for example, and then get deported.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yes, or if they haven't committed a serious crime, they'll
say they're here in a dui, but they've re entered
un lawfully. Then they're going to serve a prison sentence
before their deportation.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Right, So they're going to end up in a federal
prison triggered by the dui.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Correct, And that's a result of the policies of these
policymakers in California. Wow, they're responsible.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
That is a great strategy. How many people do you
think you can nail over the next few years?
Speaker 3 (26:59):
So, well, you'll love these stats. So my predecessor in
this office, the prior US attorney, filed almost none of
these thirteen twenty six cases. Zero thirteen twenty six is
a charge for illegal reentry. We are now just you know,
five months into to the new year. I think we
(27:19):
filed almost four hundred cases of thirteen twenty six is
as far as getting people directly from the jails, we
think once we're fully operational and we have this down,
we're thinking of we're looking at forty to fifty bodies
a week from the local jails.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Wow, wow, Bill, Great, John this is exciting. Rarely get
news like this, So congratulations and keep talking with us.
If an update us on how well this is going
in the future.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I will, I will. And there's one thing, Johnson, you
got to call the governor out because he always says this.
He goes, well, we we do comply with ice detainers.
He's lying.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
He oh no, you're kidding me. New some sly.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Let me tell you how he wrote the law. How
the law was written. The prison, the state prison which
he runs, has the option of whether they want to
comply with an IS cittainer or not. The local jails,
the sheriffs do not have an option. They are not
allowed to comply. So yes, when he has a really
bad case hit the headlines, he says, oh no, no, no,
we're going to hand him over to Ice. Nothing to
see here. It is not true for local jails. County
(28:23):
sheriffs do not have the discretion to comply. Only he does.
So that's how they write the laws. And then when
you have one of these bad cases like this guy
up in the I think it was Ventura who was
picked up in April. He was let out with an
isenttainer and he killed his son two weeks later, and
he left him in a hot car. Yeah, and he says, well,
that's the locals, they let him out. You should go
talk to them.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yeah. He's such a rat I swear.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
And he's blamed Todd Spitzer for the DUI guy that
killed Deck, that innocent young nineteen year old couple.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah, he's good at those misdirection tricks. All right, Bell,
thanks for coming on with us.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Thank you, Johnny time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
All right. The US Attorney for the Central District covering
most of southern California, BILLI. Sally, And they have a
way to get criminals who've broken the law here in
California and who also have broken federal immigration law, to
get them an extra prison term in federal prison and
then eventually deported it's called Operation Guardian Angel It's a
(29:23):
way or around the Sanctuary City. Nonsense. More coming up.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Coming up after two o'clock. This just happened. The idiot
mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bess, has signed a thirty
dollars an hour minimum wage ordinance for hotel workers, tourism workers.
We're going to have Jackie FeelA on, the president and
CEO of the Hotel Association of Los Angeles. This is
(29:56):
big trouble for the tourism industry here in LA. Thirty
bucks an hour is more than many of them can afford, obviously,
so it's nuts. But Karen Bass never stopping in her
quest to destroy Los Angeles. We'll talk about that coming
up after two o'clock. I think we ran a spot
in the last commercial break for stimulant use disorder. You
(30:21):
know somebody who's overstimulated on drugs. Here's an example, a
man in Florida, of course, Timothy Schultz, forty two meth addict.
He had so much myth he jumped into a lake
infested with alligators.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Idiot.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Somebody saw him and threw him a life fest. He
didn't want the life fest. He started growling, growling, growling
at the good Samaritan who tossed him a life fest.
And then one of the alligators bit him on his
right thigh. Well, he deserved it, and it didn't stop him.
(31:05):
Though may have been his arm, it didn't stop him.
He continued on a rampage. Schultz suddenly emerged from the
lake after being bitten and grabbed a pair of garden
shears from a nearby home. The cops showed up Schultz then,
(31:25):
you know, and he's got the bleeding alligator wound, charges
at them with the with the garden shears. One of
them fired a stun gun. Taser had no effect. Then
he tried to jump into the patrol vehicle and steal
one of the guns, and then the deputies shot him
(31:48):
multiple times. And the quote from the sheriffs is, as
a result, Timothy is deceased.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
I mean, I'm we're not laughing that there's a dead man.
I am, well, I'm not okay, okay, so email John,
you can distance yourself.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
But what I don't remember smile tells a different story,
though I'm.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Not I'm just thinking I don't understand why the alligator
didn't eat him.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I think he jumped out of the too quick and
the lake too quickly. Yeah, the bike probably enraged him.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Yeah, I mean, I've never done meth, but from what
I hear, myth makes.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
You crazy, sure, and you end up growling, I mean
growling people trying to help you. It turns out you
might be surprised. He had a lengthy drug wrap sheet. No,
and he had just been released from County jail on
May twentieth, just a few days ago, following another meth bust.
And of course they're putting the deputies on administrative leave
(32:52):
like they did something wrong.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
What was I don't understand what they were supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (32:57):
He was he was stealing a gun from a patrol car. Yeah,
what are they supposed to do? Shoot me? And if
you see is his bugshot? Yeah, he looks like meth
crazed Florida man. He dives into an alligator infested John.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
He wasn't thinking straight. He didn't know there were alligators there.
He didn't realize.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, according to the sheriff, if you're on enough meth,
then the person you see is not the person that's attacking.
In other words, that's not the real Timothy, not the
real Timothy Schultz.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
See that that was the He's really a nice guy, really.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
A nice guy when he's not on an overdose of myth. Okay,
he doesn't normally go after you with garden.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Shears, and he doesn't normally jump into an alligator infested
right late.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Yeah, but how about that alligator bites you and you
just shake it off.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Wow, I mean that's kind of cool. I'm not feeling
that that would hurt.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
I saw a guy on meth once in my life
who exhibited superhuman strength at my kid's little league baseball
field years ago. It was enclosed with a series of fences.
This guy got caught in between the fences, homeless guy, right,
and we were trying to have a practice and the
(34:28):
dads started chasing the guy with baseball bats to get
him out. And he was middle aged, he had a paunch,
gray hair, on meth eyes bugged out. The dads chased
him right to a fence which is about twenty feet
tall chaaninling fence. On all of a sudden, he scrambled
up the fence in like a split second, swung his
(34:49):
legs over and then quickly climbed down the other side.
We're all standing there done in shock, mouths open. It's
like it was like a magic trick. How the hell
did he do that? But that's what the meth did
for him. This guy is at least, I don't know,
forty five to fifty years old, out of shape. No
way he could do this. Normally, he couldn't get two
(35:11):
steps up the fence. But the meth, Wow, that's like
rocket fuel. When we come back, we're going to talk
with Jackie FeelA, president and CEO the Hotel Associational Los Angeles,
the idiot mayor. She's not done ruining the city. She
has signed an ordinance so that hotel tourism workers can
(35:34):
make thirty dollars an hour, and some hotels are now
saying we're out when it comes to the Olympics. No
way we can do this. Deborah Mark is live in
