Speaker 2 (00:37):

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Well I see them.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I just don't like them, right, but so I can

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Let's just put it that way, Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Anyway, it's worth listening to on the iHeart app. The
podcast coming up, We are now going to talk to
Brian Enton News Nation. Really bizarre story over the weekend,
which I'm sure you've heard about. Vance Bolter is the
guy accused of murdering the former Speaker of the Minnesota
(01:13):
Assembly and her husband, also shooting and seriously wounding a
Minnesota state senator and his wife, and both of them Democrats,
and the guy who did it. Vance Bolter has a weird,
checkered history, some of it's in dispute, and we're going
(01:35):
to talk now to Brian Anton from News Nation Think
Cable News Channel.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Brian, how are you hey, good John, Thanks for having
me on.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
What's this status of the charges against Vance Bolter.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, I'm in Minneapolis right now. I just got out
of federal court. He's now facing federal charges. So he's
facing federal murder charges and federal stocking charges, and he
faces the death penalty because even though there's no death
penalty in Minnesota, since these were federal crimes, he faces
the death penalty. I mean, it's just crazy the details
that have been coming out in the last couple of hours.
(02:11):
This guy basically dressed up as a police officer, He
had a fake police car. He showed up at the
state senator, the state senator's house. John Hoffman banged on
the door, said police police had this really creepy latex
mask on. I don't know if you've seen that photo.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, that really disturbs me.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Yeah, I put it over the top. And he basically
had this flashlight pointing in the senator and his wife
answered the door, and he's shining the flash lights in
their eyes and saying, police, police, there's been a robbery.
And at first they think he's a cop, and then
the wife says, you're not a real police officer. He
shoots them and they survived miraculously. The state senator was
shot nine times and his wife was shot eight times
(02:52):
and they lived. And yeah, yeah, yeah, the whole house
is shot up. They they they had multiple surgeries and
they're apparently going to be okay. But what we learned
today is not only did he go to the then
the representative's house, the former Speaker of the House here
in Minnesota, but he went to two other lawmaker's houses
who just happened to not be home. He had a
(03:13):
whole list that he was going down of like forty names.
So he gets to Representative Melissa Hortman's house, shoots and
kills her, shoots and kills her husband, shoots and kills
the family. Golden retriever and the whole house gets shot
up and there's a shootout with police, and then he
goes on the run. And then it all ended last
night when they finally caught the guy.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And they caught the guy, a drone went over the
He was in the woods and a drone passed overhead
and spotted him.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
So it was actually a trail cam for someone had
a trail cam. There's a way like an hour outside Minneapolis.
He has a country house out in this area where
they found him. It was a trail cam. And then
when the lights when the sun went down, they put
the infrared drone up, saw him, SWAT teams moved in,
they surrounded him, and he actually basically surrendered. They told
him to crawl out. He crawled out. He had a gun.
(04:02):
He had a gun on him, so that could have
been a bad situation. And in the fake police car
we found out today he had three AK forty sevens
oh and again that that manifesto with the forty names
and he's working his way down.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The list, so this could have been so much worse.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Was he planning to go to the No Kings protest?
Because I know he had a lot of those flyers
in the car.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
We don't know. I mean, he had a bunch of
those flyers in the car. We don't know if he
was planning to go there. He had another car that
he was on the run in, a buick that I
just found out. They found a note in there, like
almost like a confession note, where he said that he's
the one who did this, and he said this really
cryptic text to his wife that we learned about today
(04:42):
the morning after the shootings, where he said I'm doing
God's work something along those lines. So the whole thing
is just very very bizarre and scary. I mean, you know, again,
if he had if he had kept going from house
to house, who knows how many more lawmakers he could
have killed.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
How much do you know about his background, because apparently
publicly he was claiming to be the head of a
security service called Prietorian Guard Security Services, But NPR had
a report saying that was a fantasy life that he had.
He really worked in the food service industry.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I think that was there's a lot of weird things
about this guy. I think that was a fantasy life.
Because just now in court he had to go over
all his finances to see if he could qualify to be,
you know, to get a public defender. And he only
made five hundred and forty dollars a week. And I
think he was trying to build up the security company,
but it never really took off. He also claims to
like he calls himself a doctor and some of his
(05:41):
signatures and have like some kind of PhD, which I
don't know if if that's actually true. But he is married,
he's got several kids. His house is paid for that
came out in court. He's got like a nice country house.
He also had this apartment in the city which I
haven't been able to figure out where. He saw his
roommate on TV at all this weekend. He has like
this big roommate who did a bunch of interviews over
(06:01):
the week.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
With several men.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, he had this.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
There's a lot of weird things he has, this roommate,
he's got an apartment in the city where he claims
he spent a couple of nights a week when he
worked in the city. But then today in court he
only made like five hundred dollars a week. So there's
a lot of like loose ends here to still figure
out about that.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Right. He claimed he was working in Africa, uh in
the Republic of Congo on security projects. He also claimed
he had an evangelical ministry, but which Online it looks
like he was a manager at a convenience store primarily.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yeah, we don't know. I mean, and the thing in
court today, you know, he came in. He had this
orange jumpsuit on. They didn't have him shackled, which I
thought was interesting. He didn't have handcuffs on. There was
a ton of federal marshals. But he was very clean cut.
It almost looked like he just got a haircut. He
was very polite to the judge, answering all of the
questions very professionally. I almost got this vibe like almost
(06:55):
like he fantasized about this moment, like he knew that
the court day would come and he knew what he
was going to say. And the whole thing is just
super creepy.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
He also somehow gone on Governor Tim Watz's Workforce Development Board.
He served at least two terms, once appointed by rats
and once appointed by the previous Democratic governor. How did
that happen if he was managing a convenience store.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Yeah, and the governor doesn't appear knew him personally. I mean,
I've covered state politics, not Minnesota, but in other states.
You know, sometimes there's these boards that like almost anyone
can be on and like technically it's like governor appointed,
you know what I mean, but they just kind of
like need people to sign up. I kind of get
the sense it's like one of those things that might
sound like a bigger deal than it actually is.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
This is really bizarre.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
One more thing, because you mentioned at the beginning they're
they're filing federal charges and he could be eligible for
the federal death penalty. What makes this a federal crime
since he shot Minnesota state legislators.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, because because I think because partly where the guns
came from. And then also because because they're lawmakers, that
makes it a federal charge. And there's also a federal
stalking charge involving lawmakers. And the fact that it was
politically motivated that I'll upsit to federal charges. And then
he was stalking these political figures before. Like I was
(08:19):
looking through his notebook. We got pictures of his notebook,
and he's got all these websites, like you know, Intelius,
like all these websites even as us AS reporters used
to like look for people. He had all of those
printed out where for weeks he was, you know, he was.
He had his list, he had it all mapped out.
He knew which houses he was going to go to
in what order. And again luckily he only made it
four houses in and two of the lawmakers weren't home.
(08:42):
But it seems like he really had this planned out.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
All right, Very good.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Brian Anton from Newsdas, the cable television news channel, Thank.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You for coming on.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
All right, News Nation, it's really really good. Gable Television
News Channel. When we come back.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The woman.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Who's the architect of the electric vehicle mandate has said
that Governor Newsom went too far. Now that Donald Trump
and the Republican Congress has shot down California's electric vehicle
mandate and the ban on gas powered car sales down
(09:25):
the road. Mary Nichols, We've talked about her, oh many times.
She was the head of the California Air Resources Board.
She's the one who drove this policy and she says
it went too far.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Wow, you lived long enough.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Never's giving me your own show here in the studio
kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You should have told me that I would have just
turned the mic on. I wish you would have.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You would have gotten a good monologue if you turner miconomy.
It was like getting back on the air, and I
was thinking, well, yeah, because you're doing your own show.
Here myce lines eighty seven seven moist eighty six for
Friday eight seven seven moist eighty six of the talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app. We have been dogged for
decades by the California Air Resources Board. We are the
(10:20):
only state in the country that the Air Resources Board
controls what kind of car we can drive. At least
it did up until a few days ago. California Air
Resources Board was given the power by the legislature to
decide when gas powered cars will be banned, and they
(10:42):
picked twenty thirty five as the year where no more
gas powered cars can be sold. And in fact, next
year it was supposed to be only thirty five well,
it was supposed to be thirty five percent electric cars
sold next year out out of the entire automobile industry
(11:05):
here in the state, thirty five percent had to be
electric cars. By twenty thirty two thirds had to be
electric cars, and then one hundred percent by twenty thirty five.
And it's run into a lot of obvious problems because
a lot of people don't like them. Just the uh,
(11:29):
the rich a holes on the West Side loved their
Teslas up until a few months ago, and then they turned.
In fact, rich a holes buying Tesla's was driving most
of the increase in electric car sales here in California.
And now that it's unfashionable to buy a car from
Elon Musk stalled out electric car sales in the state
(11:54):
that that was the main driver. There isn't much interest
in the other electric vehicles on the market. Most of
them are way too expensive for most.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
People, and it takes just too darn long to charge.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah, I mean, when I first heard of electric cars,
they were taking like eight to ten hours. It's like,
you're kidding me, right, It's like I timed my filling
up my car yesterday six minutes. We've guessed, okay, you
got six minutes. On the one hand, and even if
it's two hours, I mean just say that out loud.
(12:30):
It's gonna take me two hours to recharge.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
If you're going to recharge overnight, that's one thing. But
if you're driving and you realize, oh wait, I've got
a charge.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Speaking of Eric, you said Adam Carolla had a whole
thing about his car running out of the electric juice
in Palm Springs.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Yeah, he was talking on his podcast about how he
was driving back from Palm Springs in the middle of
the night after doing two comedy shows, and it took
him forever to find a charger, and then the charger
was taking too long, and so he ended up ordering
an uber from like Ontario back to la and then
he had to go pick up his car back in
Ontario the next morning.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, it was a whole thing.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
We should have mond. I want to hear that whole story.
That's the nightmare. Well, going back to Mary Nichols, she
ran the California Resources Board for seventeen years. She was
the one who put the hammer down on the automotive
industry because then it ended up that a dozen other
(13:28):
states copied California's targets.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And the auto.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Industry is all screwed up because now they had to
make two different sets of cars for two different sets
of states. And at the time this started to go
into effect, and I'd forgotten about this, but the automakers,
we're going bankrupt after the two thousand and eight mortgage crash.
And remember Obama had to bail out the auto industry, well,
(13:57):
General Motors for example, that the actually and the federal
government took an equity stake in General Motors. The federal
government made an investment and owned a piece of General
Motors to save them after the big mortgage meltdown. So
they had no leverage, no standing to try to fight
(14:17):
off this electric vehicle madness.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And all the major car companies went along with it.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And you had states like New York and New Jersey
copy in California. The only people not consulted were ordinary
consumers who found it way too expensive, way too inconvenient.
And then of course there's no infrastructure built. The electric
(14:46):
grid could not handle. If we all went to electric cars,
the electric grid would blow up, seize up, and die.
And the charging stations are a joke. At the beginning
of his term, whoever was running the Biden administration, they
engineered billions dollars to be spent on charging stations, and
you remember like two three years later only eight had
(15:07):
been built and they had several billion dollars to build
it with. So she said that no one likes being regulated.
Many people were acting on the assumption that it was
going to be Democrats continuing in power in Washington, so
the state felt like they had all the cards in
their hand. And then after the election it was pretty
(15:29):
hard to reset the conversation because California officials leading up
to this past November election had been in talks with
automakers maybe to slow down the conversion process to keep
them on board. But Nicol said they overplayed their hand.
They thought Biden and door Harris was going to be
the next president, that no way Trump was going to win,
(15:52):
and that is now he has gone and taken away
their power and got the report public and Congress to
go along with it. Now, of course there's going to
be lawsuits, but a lot of damage has been done here.
And they had a waiver for many years that they
could set their own environmental rules and now they don't
(16:15):
have the waiver at the moment, and it's because of
their own arrogance, extreme arrogance. They really thought they could
rule the world, they were their own nation.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
State.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Newsom has always insisted the California is its own nation.
And what Trump is reminding Newsome with one smack after
another to the side of the head, is like, no,
you're part of the United States of America. You don't run,
you don't override federal law. Got a few other examples
of that coming up. Let's do more news. Oh oh, oh,
(16:51):
Tony Strickland's coming on right. Tony Strickland coming on the
Senate Republican from Huntington Beach about how Newsom refuses fund
what's needed for Prop thirty six to run properly.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
We'll tell you all about it.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Welcome John cobelt Show. We're on every day from one
until four and then after four o'clock. Whatever you missed,
we have the John cobelt Show podcast John Cobelt on
demand on the iHeart app and that's how you end
up listening to everything. By the end of the day,
we are going to talk to State Senator Tony Stricklenny
Republican at a hunting and Beach because something terrible is happening.
(17:35):
The state passed Prop thirty six by more than a
two to one margin last November, and that was the
proposition that made theft illegal again, made public drug crimes
illegal again, set up a list of fentidel crimes that
are felonies, and wouldn't you know it, Gavin Newsom does
(17:57):
not want to fund many of the programs that we
need or the offices that we need to enforce these
laws and to facilitate getting these guys well. For example,
when it comes to the drug arrests, the judge is
going to have the choice to send him to treatment
or put them in jail, and Newshom doesn't want to
fund that very much. So let's get Tony Stricklin on
(18:17):
California State Senator.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
How are you, Tony?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I'm great.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
How are you doing, John, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
So talk to me about how much needs to be
spent in state tax money on these programs and how
much Newsom is willing to fund.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Well a minimum A minimum would be four hundred million
to really, I believe it's going to cost more down
the line, because I believe the mental health issues in
California are worse than we even anticipate, but it's a
minimum of four hundred million, and what Governor is willing
to do is zero. The Governor is pushing him back
and he's not willing to fund it at all. These
(18:53):
two thirds legislative Democrats came up last week and they
put their proposal out there, put one hundred and ten
million into it for one time funding. What that means
is they only do it one time and they won't
continue to fund Prop thirty six moving forward. And then
one hundred ten million doesn't even scratch the surface. They
put zero dos in for local probation departments, which is
(19:15):
part of the success that's needed for Prop thirty six.
And again that's just what the two thirds majority put
in there. And now Governor can veto that. We're still
negotia stating a final budget, but clearly it's not a
priority of the legislaty of Democrats and certainly not a
priority of Governor Newsom.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
What do you need the money for? Specifically, explain to
people where the money has to be spent for Prop
thirty six to work well.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Behavioral health programs departments, you need to put money there.
You need to put extra money into the judicial branch,
obviously because now we're not going to look the other way,
we're actually convict people who are committing the crimes. You know,
it goes to the judicial branch. It also goes to
judicial services and public defenders, and it also goes for
(20:08):
fentanyl and and mental health services and so and also
probation departments to make sure that people you know, are
on probation when they can make crimes.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
So to the behavior health departments.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
This would deal with people's mental illnesses and deal with
people's drug addictions things of that nature.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Correct, And and what happened in top thirty six is said, look,
we're we're not going to look the other way. You
have an opportunity to go to jail or or get
the mental health or drug or alcohol addiction services that
that you have a choice either you you get yourself
clean and and get help, or you go to jail.
(20:49):
And that's gonna obviously create more, but that's what people want.
People want to make sure that we have safe streets
and safe neighborhoods. And as far as the make and
make crime illegal again California.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah, and as far as the theft crimes have to
be processed, he's given almost no money for the courts
to run, no money for public defenders, no money for
as you said, for the probation departments. And so who
does he think ought to pay for this if not
the state?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Well, he said, you know, I'm quoting Governor Knwshom. Now
he said the local governments wanted it, they could pay
for it, which is it's like a Marie Antoinette let
him eat cake. You know, it's unbelievable. I can't recall
the last initiative the past. All fifty eight counties, even
the most liberal counties of Marine in San Francisco, voted
for this initiative. Nearly seven percent of the voters Democrats,
(21:40):
Independence and Republicans overwhelmingly want to make crime illegal again
and want to make our community safe. This would be
the first thing that they fund. That's what a budget is.
What's your priorities. Public safety is the most several role
of government. They keep people safe. And if you remember,
Governor Knewsom did every maneuver to try to keep this
initiative away from the people, but it was not successful.
The people voted on it. Their voices were loud and clear.
(22:03):
We want we want to make public safety a top priority,
and he's not willing to do that.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
You know, it violates the blessed holy trinity of these progressives.
All they worship for criminals, illegal aliens, and homeless people.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
And so you started.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Putting what they did fund, John, Think about what they
did fund. They fund ten point eight billion for undocumented immigrants.
They funded the seven hundred and fifty million dollars to
bail out the Bay Area Regional Transit. You know, a
billion dollars to a high speed rail.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
High speed rail, yeah, way, billion dollars for high speed rail.
Fun and pennies to actually fund the justice system. After
two thirds of the freaking state past this Prop thirty six,
and everybody considers it a state issue, which is why
the state should fund it. This is state law that
was being reinforced here correct.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Correct, and again I this should be the first thing.
Public safety should be the first thing. Look what they
do fund. It just gets me frustrated. Look what they fund,
and look what they are not willing to fund. And
and the people they need to look and get rid
of their senators. They are family members who are not
(23:13):
willing to fully fund Prop thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
God, people have to vote differently in the absence of
an election. Right now, what can people do because this
was something that most people were very serious about enforcing
the Prop thirty six protocols.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Here, well, the best thing they could do is call
their senator, call their sumbly member and say we want
a fully fund Prop thirty six. Stop funding, stop funding
things like the high speed rail, and fund public safety
to keep us safe, and tell them we will remember
next November if you don't do this. And then also, look,
I happen to believe that new when you see some
(23:52):
of these guys can't campaign for governor. They're already moving
away from GAVINUSAM because they know how destructive he is.
But right now here and now, the best thing they
could do is ay, I'm gonna hold you accountable if
you don't fully find Prop thirty six.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
All right, State Senator Tony Strickland, Republican from Honting beachs
thank you for coming on with us again.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Thanks again for having me. I really truly appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
All Right, we've got more coming up. I AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobelt Radio, we passed twenty seven thousand followers,
headed for thirty thousand right after Deborah's news. Tomorrow's not
only a big day where judge may decide who's who
runs the National Guard, who controls it in California. Trump
renews him. But there's another federal judge, someone that you
(24:47):
may be familiar with, David O. Carter, and he has
the civil case of the LA Alliance.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Let me let me get this right here. LA Alliance
for Human Rights.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
They are a collection of LA citizens and businesses who
have sued the City of Los Angeles for allowing the
homeless to run amok and make life miserable for so
many normal people. And they reached settlements in court with
the city back in twenty twenty and twenty twenty two.
And they say the city has breached those settlements and
(25:24):
never accomplished what they promised to. There's a big surprise.
There's been there's been a trial going on for weeks,
and it's clear the city, Karen Bass's administration and what's
left of LASA is in total disarray. They're overwhelmed and
they don't particularly care Bass refused to testify, and she
(25:46):
hired eleven attorneys to protect her from testifying, and they
promised to make so many appeals that the plaintiffs in
the case LA Alliance for Human Rights said, I'll forget it,
just get on with this. It is possible that the judge,
David Carter could take the city's homeless bureaucracy LASSA and
(26:10):
give it to a receiver. It'll be thrown into receivership
and some type of outside entity, outside person will control
homelessness spending in the city. It's that bad, and certainly
Carter is not happy with the way the city runs things,
and the city their idea of a defense is to
(26:33):
hire eleven attorneys so Bass doesn't have to explain herself.
Bass hasn't defended herself. She just would rather not come
to court. All that coming up after three o'clock. I
mentioned in the first hour, and you should listen to
the first hour, because we had a good rundown of
all the festivities over the weekend here in LA all
(26:53):
the mental patients running around and having public nervous breakdowns,
screaming into the air, beating up horses, getting their testicles
blown off, and it's all. It's also silly and pointless.
You've accomplished nothing. This is my message to you. Virtue
signals right there, all you left wing progressives. You lost,
(27:17):
You're still losing. Trump wakes up every day and he's
still king. So you can shout no kings all you want,
but he's in charge.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You're not.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
And you blew your chance when you didn't protest against
Biden and Kamala being the nominees.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Last year.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Byron new York for The Washington Examiner had a pretty
provocative article I'm being a bit sarcastic. His headline was
the normal presidency of Donald Trump. And here's what he means.
Real clear Politics runs an average every day of job
(27:56):
approval polls. You know, we have I don't know eight, ten,
well fourteen polling units that run job approval ratings from
month to month, and they take an average, and right now,
Trump's job approval stands at forty six point six percent,
(28:16):
And they compared it to this day in twenty thirteen,
when Obama was in his second term, the exact same
point in his second term, and Obama's job approval rating
was forty six point six percent. And then they looked
at George W. Bush's approval rating same point. In his
(28:37):
second term in two thousand and five, his approval rating
was forty five point six, So it's forty six to six,
forty six six, forty five six. Going back to what
I said last hour, all the angst you see in
the street, all the performative mental patient, nervous breakdowns you see,
(28:58):
is just a tiny sliver of the population. They're overly online,
overly radical, radicalized, overly stimulated. Michael Selenberger has written about
this phenomenon. It's called cluster B personality. We ought to
look that up. I read all the symptoms of cluster
B personality and it fits exactly with what you see.
(29:21):
Screaming when you know, when you're screaming and just bumping
a horse, that's cluster B. When you risk your testicles,
that's cluster B. And that's all it is. You're seeing
like a public and really the city shouldn't tolerate any
of this. There's no reason to shut down streets so
people could display their psychological issues. It's it's just kind
(29:44):
of stupid, and these people are stupid, and uh, there
is no great outpouring against Trump around the country. He's
got the same approval rating as Obama and one point
more than than Bush. And at this point in Bush
and Sama's presidency, there were no huge protests in the street,
(30:04):
people screaming like lunatics. Also, what we're going to do
next hour is Kevin Kylie, who is a former legislator
and now a congressman, and another former legislator in California,
Dennis Hollingsworth. They both separately posted pieces online today explaining
(30:24):
exactly what's going on, and this is what you ought
to listen to in the next half hour after we
talk about the federal judge in the homeless situation. Is
what's really going on here, because you shouldn't be distracted
by all the mental patients with their cluster b psychological issues.
(30:45):
Understand how the world really works with the corrupt legal
alien industry, which is similar to the corrupt homeless industry,
and the corrupt politicians who run this state and fund
these nonprofits. Talk about that coming up in the next
half hour. Debor Mark is live in the KFI twenty

Speaker 4 (00:44):
I just don't like them, right, but so I can

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Let's just put it that way, Okay.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Anyway, it's worth listening to on the iHeart app. The
podcast coming up, We are now going to talk to
Brian Enton News Nation. Really bizarre story over the weekend,
which I'm sure you've heard about. Vance Bolter is the
guy accused of murdering the former Speaker of the Minnesota
(01:13):
Assembly and her husband, also shooting and seriously wounding a
Minnesota state senator and his wife, and both of them Democrats,
and the guy who did it. Vance Bolter has a weird,
checkered history, some of it's in dispute, and we're going
(01:35):
to talk now to Brian Anton from News Nation Think
Cable News Channel.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Brian, how are you hey, good John, Thanks for having
me on.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
What's this status of the charges against Vance Bolter.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
Yeah, I'm in Minneapolis right now. I just got out
of federal court. He's now facing federal charges. So he's
facing federal murder charges and federal stocking charges, and he
faces the death penalty because even though there's no death
penalty in Minnesota, since these were federal crimes, he faces
the death penalty. I mean, it's just crazy the details
that have been coming out in the last couple of hours.
(02:11):
This guy basically dressed up as a police officer, He
had a fake police car. He showed up at the
state senator, the state senator's house. John Hoffman banged on
the door, said police police had this really creepy latex
mask on. I don't know if you've seen that photo.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, that really disturbs me.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Yeah, I put it over the top. And he basically
had this flashlight pointing in the senator and his wife
answered the door, and he's shining the flash lights in
their eyes and saying, police, police, there's been a robbery.
And at first they think he's a cop, and then
the wife says, you're not a real police officer. He
shoots them and they survived miraculously. The state senator was
shot nine times and his wife was shot eight times
(02:52):
and they lived. And yeah, yeah, yeah, the whole house
is shot up. They they they had multiple surgeries and
they're apparently going to be okay. But what we learned
today is not only did he go to the then
the representative's house, the former Speaker of the House here
in Minnesota, but he went to two other lawmaker's houses
who just happened to not be home. He had a
(03:13):
whole list that he was going down of like forty names.
So he gets to Representative Melissa Hortman's house, shoots and
kills her, shoots and kills her husband, shoots and kills
the family. Golden retriever and the whole house gets shot
up and there's a shootout with police, and then he
goes on the run. And then it all ended last
night when they finally caught the guy.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
And they caught the guy, a drone went over the
He was in the woods and a drone passed overhead
and spotted him.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
So it was actually a trail cam for someone had
a trail cam. There's a way like an hour outside Minneapolis.
He has a country house out in this area where
they found him. It was a trail cam. And then
when the lights when the sun went down, they put
the infrared drone up, saw him, SWAT teams moved in,
they surrounded him, and he actually basically surrendered. They told
him to crawl out. He crawled out. He had a gun.
(04:02):
He had a gun on him, so that could have
been a bad situation. And in the fake police car
we found out today he had three AK forty sevens
oh and again that that manifesto with the forty names
and he's working his way down.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
The list, so this could have been so much worse.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Was he planning to go to the No Kings protest?
Because I know he had a lot of those flyers
in the car.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
We don't know. I mean, he had a bunch of
those flyers in the car. We don't know if he
was planning to go there. He had another car that
he was on the run in, a buick that I
just found out. They found a note in there, like
almost like a confession note, where he said that he's
the one who did this, and he said this really
cryptic text to his wife that we learned about today
(04:42):
the morning after the shootings, where he said I'm doing
God's work something along those lines. So the whole thing
is just very very bizarre and scary. I mean, you know, again,
if he had if he had kept going from house
to house, who knows how many more lawmakers he could
have killed.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
How much do you know about his background, because apparently
publicly he was claiming to be the head of a
security service called Prietorian Guard Security Services, But NPR had
a report saying that was a fantasy life that he had.
He really worked in the food service industry.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I think that was there's a lot of weird things
about this guy. I think that was a fantasy life.
Because just now in court he had to go over
all his finances to see if he could qualify to be,
you know, to get a public defender. And he only
made five hundred and forty dollars a week. And I
think he was trying to build up the security company,
but it never really took off. He also claims to
like he calls himself a doctor and some of his
(05:41):
signatures and have like some kind of PhD, which I
don't know if if that's actually true. But he is married,
he's got several kids. His house is paid for that
came out in court. He's got like a nice country house.
He also had this apartment in the city which I
haven't been able to figure out where. He saw his
roommate on TV at all this weekend. He has like
this big roommate who did a bunch of interviews over
(06:01):
the week.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
With several men.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, he had this.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
There's a lot of weird things he has, this roommate,
he's got an apartment in the city where he claims
he spent a couple of nights a week when he
worked in the city. But then today in court he
only made like five hundred dollars a week. So there's
a lot of like loose ends here to still figure
out about that.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Right. He claimed he was working in Africa, uh in
the Republic of Congo on security projects. He also claimed
he had an evangelical ministry, but which Online it looks
like he was a manager at a convenience store primarily.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yeah, we don't know. I mean, and the thing in
court today, you know, he came in. He had this
orange jumpsuit on. They didn't have him shackled, which I
thought was interesting. He didn't have handcuffs on. There was
a ton of federal marshals. But he was very clean cut.
It almost looked like he just got a haircut. He
was very polite to the judge, answering all of the
questions very professionally. I almost got this vibe like almost
(06:55):
like he fantasized about this moment, like he knew that
the court day would come and he knew what he
was going to say. And the whole thing is just
super creepy.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
He also somehow gone on Governor Tim Watz's Workforce Development Board.
He served at least two terms, once appointed by rats
and once appointed by the previous Democratic governor. How did
that happen if he was managing a convenience store.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Yeah, and the governor doesn't appear knew him personally. I mean,
I've covered state politics, not Minnesota, but in other states.
You know, sometimes there's these boards that like almost anyone
can be on and like technically it's like governor appointed,
you know what I mean, but they just kind of
like need people to sign up. I kind of get
the sense it's like one of those things that might
sound like a bigger deal than it actually is.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
This is really bizarre.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
One more thing, because you mentioned at the beginning they're
they're filing federal charges and he could be eligible for
the federal death penalty. What makes this a federal crime
since he shot Minnesota state legislators.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Yeah, because because I think because partly where the guns
came from. And then also because because they're lawmakers, that
makes it a federal charge. And there's also a federal
stalking charge involving lawmakers. And the fact that it was
politically motivated that I'll upsit to federal charges. And then
he was stalking these political figures before. Like I was
(08:19):
looking through his notebook. We got pictures of his notebook,
and he's got all these websites, like you know, Intelius,
like all these websites even as us AS reporters used
to like look for people. He had all of those
printed out where for weeks he was, you know, he was.
He had his list, he had it all mapped out.
He knew which houses he was going to go to
in what order. And again luckily he only made it
four houses in and two of the lawmakers weren't home.
(08:42):
But it seems like he really had this planned out.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
All right, Very good.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Brian Anton from Newsdas, the cable television news channel, Thank.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You for coming on.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
All right, News Nation, it's really really good. Gable Television
News Channel. When we come back.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
The woman.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Who's the architect of the electric vehicle mandate has said
that Governor Newsom went too far. Now that Donald Trump
and the Republican Congress has shot down California's electric vehicle
mandate and the ban on gas powered car sales down
(09:25):
the road. Mary Nichols, We've talked about her, oh many times.
She was the head of the California Air Resources Board.
She's the one who drove this policy and she says
it went too far.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Wow, you lived long enough.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Never's giving me your own show here in the studio
kf I AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
You should have told me that I would have just
turned the mic on. I wish you would have.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
You would have gotten a good monologue if you turner miconomy.
It was like getting back on the air, and I
was thinking, well, yeah, because you're doing your own show.
Here myce lines eighty seven seven moist eighty six for
Friday eight seven seven moist eighty six of the talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app. We have been dogged for
decades by the California Air Resources Board. We are the
(10:20):
only state in the country that the Air Resources Board
controls what kind of car we can drive. At least
it did up until a few days ago. California Air
Resources Board was given the power by the legislature to
decide when gas powered cars will be banned, and they
(10:42):
picked twenty thirty five as the year where no more
gas powered cars can be sold. And in fact, next
year it was supposed to be only thirty five well,
it was supposed to be thirty five percent electric cars
sold next year out out of the entire automobile industry
(11:05):
here in the state, thirty five percent had to be
electric cars. By twenty thirty two thirds had to be
electric cars, and then one hundred percent by twenty thirty five.
And it's run into a lot of obvious problems because
a lot of people don't like them. Just the uh,
(11:29):
the rich a holes on the West Side loved their
Teslas up until a few months ago, and then they turned.
In fact, rich a holes buying Tesla's was driving most
of the increase in electric car sales here in California.
And now that it's unfashionable to buy a car from
Elon Musk stalled out electric car sales in the state
(11:54):
that that was the main driver. There isn't much interest
in the other electric vehicles on the market. Most of
them are way too expensive for most.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
People, and it takes just too darn long to charge.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Yeah, I mean, when I first heard of electric cars,
they were taking like eight to ten hours. It's like,
you're kidding me, right, It's like I timed my filling
up my car yesterday six minutes. We've guessed, okay, you
got six minutes. On the one hand, and even if
it's two hours, I mean just say that out loud.
(12:30):
It's gonna take me two hours to recharge.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
If you're going to recharge overnight, that's one thing. But
if you're driving and you realize, oh wait, I've got
a charge.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Speaking of Eric, you said Adam Carolla had a whole
thing about his car running out of the electric juice
in Palm Springs.
Speaker 7 (12:45):
Yeah, he was talking on his podcast about how he
was driving back from Palm Springs in the middle of
the night after doing two comedy shows, and it took
him forever to find a charger, and then the charger
was taking too long, and so he ended up ordering
an uber from like Ontario back to la and then
he had to go pick up his car back in
Ontario the next morning.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah, it was a whole thing.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
We should have mond. I want to hear that whole story.
That's the nightmare. Well, going back to Mary Nichols, she
ran the California Resources Board for seventeen years. She was
the one who put the hammer down on the automotive
industry because then it ended up that a dozen other
(13:28):
states copied California's targets.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And the auto.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Industry is all screwed up because now they had to
make two different sets of cars for two different sets
of states. And at the time this started to go
into effect, and I'd forgotten about this, but the automakers,
we're going bankrupt after the two thousand and eight mortgage crash.
And remember Obama had to bail out the auto industry, well,
(13:57):
General Motors for example, that the actually and the federal
government took an equity stake in General Motors. The federal
government made an investment and owned a piece of General
Motors to save them after the big mortgage meltdown. So
they had no leverage, no standing to try to fight
(14:17):
off this electric vehicle madness.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
And all the major car companies went along with it.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
And you had states like New York and New Jersey
copy in California. The only people not consulted were ordinary
consumers who found it way too expensive, way too inconvenient.
And then of course there's no infrastructure built. The electric
(14:46):
grid could not handle. If we all went to electric cars,
the electric grid would blow up, seize up, and die.
And the charging stations are a joke. At the beginning
of his term, whoever was running the Biden administration, they
engineered billions dollars to be spent on charging stations, and
you remember like two three years later only eight had
(15:07):
been built and they had several billion dollars to build
it with. So she said that no one likes being regulated.
Many people were acting on the assumption that it was
going to be Democrats continuing in power in Washington, so
the state felt like they had all the cards in
their hand. And then after the election it was pretty
(15:29):
hard to reset the conversation because California officials leading up
to this past November election had been in talks with
automakers maybe to slow down the conversion process to keep
them on board. But Nicol said they overplayed their hand.
They thought Biden and door Harris was going to be
the next president, that no way Trump was going to win,
(15:52):
and that is now he has gone and taken away
their power and got the report public and Congress to
go along with it. Now, of course there's going to
be lawsuits, but a lot of damage has been done here.
And they had a waiver for many years that they
could set their own environmental rules and now they don't
(16:15):
have the waiver at the moment, and it's because of
their own arrogance, extreme arrogance. They really thought they could
rule the world, they were their own nation.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
State.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Newsom has always insisted the California is its own nation.
And what Trump is reminding Newsome with one smack after
another to the side of the head, is like, no,
you're part of the United States of America. You don't run,
you don't override federal law. Got a few other examples
of that coming up. Let's do more news. Oh oh, oh,
(16:51):
Tony Strickland's coming on right. Tony Strickland coming on the
Senate Republican from Huntington Beach about how Newsom refuses fund
what's needed for Prop thirty six to run properly.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
We'll tell you all about it.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Welcome John cobelt Show. We're on every day from one
until four and then after four o'clock. Whatever you missed,
we have the John cobelt Show podcast John Cobelt on
demand on the iHeart app and that's how you end
up listening to everything. By the end of the day,
we are going to talk to State Senator Tony Stricklenny
Republican at a hunting and Beach because something terrible is happening.
(17:35):
The state passed Prop thirty six by more than a
two to one margin last November, and that was the
proposition that made theft illegal again, made public drug crimes
illegal again, set up a list of fentidel crimes that
are felonies, and wouldn't you know it, Gavin Newsom does
(17:57):
not want to fund many of the programs that we
need or the offices that we need to enforce these
laws and to facilitate getting these guys well. For example,
when it comes to the drug arrests, the judge is
going to have the choice to send him to treatment
or put them in jail, and Newshom doesn't want to
fund that very much. So let's get Tony Stricklin on
(18:17):
California State Senator.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
How are you, Tony?
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I'm great.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
How are you doing, John, I'm fine.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
So talk to me about how much needs to be
spent in state tax money on these programs and how
much Newsom is willing to fund.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Well a minimum A minimum would be four hundred million
to really, I believe it's going to cost more down
the line, because I believe the mental health issues in
California are worse than we even anticipate, but it's a
minimum of four hundred million, and what Governor is willing
to do is zero. The Governor is pushing him back
and he's not willing to fund it at all. These
(18:53):
two thirds legislative Democrats came up last week and they
put their proposal out there, put one hundred and ten
million into it for one time funding. What that means
is they only do it one time and they won't
continue to fund Prop thirty six moving forward. And then
one hundred ten million doesn't even scratch the surface. They
put zero dos in for local probation departments, which is
(19:15):
part of the success that's needed for Prop thirty six.
And again that's just what the two thirds majority put
in there. And now Governor can veto that. We're still
negotia stating a final budget, but clearly it's not a
priority of the legislaty of Democrats and certainly not a
priority of Governor Newsom.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
What do you need the money for? Specifically, explain to
people where the money has to be spent for Prop
thirty six to work well.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Behavioral health programs departments, you need to put money there.
You need to put extra money into the judicial branch,
obviously because now we're not going to look the other way,
we're actually convict people who are committing the crimes. You know,
it goes to the judicial branch. It also goes to
judicial services and public defenders, and it also goes for
(20:08):
fentanyl and and mental health services and so and also
probation departments to make sure that people you know, are
on probation when they can make crimes.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
So to the behavior health departments.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
This would deal with people's mental illnesses and deal with
people's drug addictions things of that nature.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Correct, And and what happened in top thirty six is said, look,
we're we're not going to look the other way. You
have an opportunity to go to jail or or get
the mental health or drug or alcohol addiction services that
that you have a choice either you you get yourself
clean and and get help, or you go to jail.
(20:49):
And that's gonna obviously create more, but that's what people want.
People want to make sure that we have safe streets
and safe neighborhoods. And as far as the make and
make crime illegal again California.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yeah, and as far as the theft crimes have to
be processed, he's given almost no money for the courts
to run, no money for public defenders, no money for
as you said, for the probation departments. And so who
does he think ought to pay for this if not
the state?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Well, he said, you know, I'm quoting Governor Knwshom. Now
he said the local governments wanted it, they could pay
for it, which is it's like a Marie Antoinette let
him eat cake. You know, it's unbelievable. I can't recall
the last initiative the past. All fifty eight counties, even
the most liberal counties of Marine in San Francisco, voted
for this initiative. Nearly seven percent of the voters Democrats,
(21:40):
Independence and Republicans overwhelmingly want to make crime illegal again
and want to make our community safe. This would be
the first thing that they fund. That's what a budget is.
What's your priorities. Public safety is the most several role
of government. They keep people safe. And if you remember,
Governor Knewsom did every maneuver to try to keep this
initiative away from the people, but it was not successful.
The people voted on it. Their voices were loud and clear.
(22:03):
We want we want to make public safety a top priority,
and he's not willing to do that.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
You know, it violates the blessed holy trinity of these progressives.
All they worship for criminals, illegal aliens, and homeless people.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
And so you started.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Putting what they did fund, John, Think about what they
did fund. They fund ten point eight billion for undocumented immigrants.
They funded the seven hundred and fifty million dollars to
bail out the Bay Area Regional Transit. You know, a
billion dollars to a high speed rail.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
High speed rail, yeah, way, billion dollars for high speed rail.
Fun and pennies to actually fund the justice system. After
two thirds of the freaking state past this Prop thirty six,
and everybody considers it a state issue, which is why
the state should fund it. This is state law that
was being reinforced here correct.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Correct, and again I this should be the first thing.
Public safety should be the first thing. Look what they
do fund. It just gets me frustrated. Look what they fund,
and look what they are not willing to fund. And
and the people they need to look and get rid
of their senators. They are family members who are not
(23:13):
willing to fully fund Prop thirty seven.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
God, people have to vote differently in the absence of
an election. Right now, what can people do because this
was something that most people were very serious about enforcing
the Prop thirty six protocols.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Here, well, the best thing they could do is call
their senator, call their sumbly member and say we want
a fully fund Prop thirty six. Stop funding, stop funding
things like the high speed rail, and fund public safety
to keep us safe, and tell them we will remember
next November if you don't do this. And then also, look,
I happen to believe that new when you see some
(23:52):
of these guys can't campaign for governor. They're already moving
away from GAVINUSAM because they know how destructive he is.
But right now here and now, the best thing they
could do is ay, I'm gonna hold you accountable if
you don't fully find Prop thirty six.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
All right, State Senator Tony Strickland, Republican from Honting beachs
thank you for coming on with us again.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Thanks again for having me. I really truly appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
All Right, we've got more coming up. I AM six forty.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobelt Radio, we passed twenty seven thousand followers,
headed for thirty thousand right after Deborah's news. Tomorrow's not
only a big day where judge may decide who's who
runs the National Guard, who controls it in California. Trump
renews him. But there's another federal judge, someone that you
(24:47):
may be familiar with, David O. Carter, and he has
the civil case of the LA Alliance.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Let me let me get this right here. LA Alliance
for Human Rights.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
They are a collection of LA citizens and businesses who
have sued the City of Los Angeles for allowing the
homeless to run amok and make life miserable for so
many normal people. And they reached settlements in court with
the city back in twenty twenty and twenty twenty two.
And they say the city has breached those settlements and
(25:24):
never accomplished what they promised to. There's a big surprise.
There's been there's been a trial going on for weeks,
and it's clear the city, Karen Bass's administration and what's
left of LASA is in total disarray. They're overwhelmed and
they don't particularly care Bass refused to testify, and she
(25:46):
hired eleven attorneys to protect her from testifying, and they
promised to make so many appeals that the plaintiffs in
the case LA Alliance for Human Rights said, I'll forget it,
just get on with this. It is possible that the judge,
David Carter could take the city's homeless bureaucracy LASSA and
(26:10):
give it to a receiver. It'll be thrown into receivership
and some type of outside entity, outside person will control
homelessness spending in the city. It's that bad, and certainly
Carter is not happy with the way the city runs things,
and the city their idea of a defense is to
(26:33):
hire eleven attorneys so Bass doesn't have to explain herself.
Bass hasn't defended herself. She just would rather not come
to court. All that coming up after three o'clock. I
mentioned in the first hour, and you should listen to
the first hour, because we had a good rundown of
all the festivities over the weekend here in LA all
(26:53):
the mental patients running around and having public nervous breakdowns,
screaming into the air, beating up horses, getting their testicles
blown off, and it's all. It's also silly and pointless.
You've accomplished nothing. This is my message to you. Virtue
signals right there, all you left wing progressives. You lost,
(27:17):
You're still losing. Trump wakes up every day and he's
still king. So you can shout no kings all you want,
but he's in charge.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
You're not.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
And you blew your chance when you didn't protest against
Biden and Kamala being the nominees.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Last year.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Byron new York for The Washington Examiner had a pretty
provocative article I'm being a bit sarcastic. His headline was
the normal presidency of Donald Trump. And here's what he means.
Real clear Politics runs an average every day of job
(27:56):
approval polls. You know, we have I don't know eight, ten,
well fourteen polling units that run job approval ratings from
month to month, and they take an average, and right now,
Trump's job approval stands at forty six point six percent,
(28:16):
And they compared it to this day in twenty thirteen,
when Obama was in his second term, the exact same
point in his second term, and Obama's job approval rating
was forty six point six percent. And then they looked
at George W. Bush's approval rating same point. In his
(28:37):
second term in two thousand and five, his approval rating
was forty five point six, So it's forty six to six,
forty six six, forty five six. Going back to what
I said last hour, all the angst you see in
the street, all the performative mental patient, nervous breakdowns you see,
(28:58):
is just a tiny sliver of the population. They're overly online,
overly radical, radicalized, overly stimulated. Michael Selenberger has written about
this phenomenon. It's called cluster B personality. We ought to
look that up. I read all the symptoms of cluster
B personality and it fits exactly with what you see.
(29:21):
Screaming when you know, when you're screaming and just bumping
a horse, that's cluster B. When you risk your testicles,
that's cluster B. And that's all it is. You're seeing
like a public and really the city shouldn't tolerate any
of this. There's no reason to shut down streets so
people could display their psychological issues. It's it's just kind
(29:44):
of stupid, and these people are stupid, and uh, there
is no great outpouring against Trump around the country. He's
got the same approval rating as Obama and one point
more than than Bush. And at this point in Bush
and Sama's presidency, there were no huge protests in the street,
(30:04):
people screaming like lunatics. Also, what we're going to do
next hour is Kevin Kylie, who is a former legislator
and now a congressman, and another former legislator in California,
Dennis Hollingsworth. They both separately posted pieces online today explaining
(30:24):
exactly what's going on, and this is what you ought
to listen to in the next half hour after we
talk about the federal judge in the homeless situation. Is
what's really going on here, because you shouldn't be distracted
by all the mental patients with their cluster b psychological issues.
(30:45):
Understand how the world really works with the corrupt legal
alien industry, which is similar to the corrupt homeless industry,
and the corrupt politicians who run this state and fund
these nonprofits. Talk about that coming up in the next
half hour. Debor Mark is live in the KFI twenty
(31:06):

Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the show live
