Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. About five minutes ago,
I officially slipped into dimension. Oh what happened? I got
up to go to the office and get my chair,
you know, the special chair, and I walked all the
way down and walked all the way back, and it
turns out I was already sitting in that chair. Okay,
(00:23):
so it's over. That's that's pretty clear. We've got a
really intense show for you coming up here. You may
have heard first thing this morning was the story out
of Dallas Joshua John twenty nine years old, and he
was the latest sniper. He killed at least two people
(00:45):
at the Dallas Ice facility. Turned out they were illegal
immigrants who were being taken to the detention center. He
also well, one was killed and two were wounded. I
got two different stories here, so we'll see what the
details are. He also then killed himself. Jim Ryan, ABC
News corresponded out of Dallas, what is the total?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, it is back to where this's been the most
chaotic story I think that I've seen in a long time. John,
I mean it was chaotic when it first started. Of course,
you've got gun fire over there alongside the Semon's Free
Away in Dallas, and bullets flying everywhere, and yeah, it's
been hard to nail down numbers. The Department of Homeland
Security issued a statement earlier on saying that two detainees
(01:33):
had been killed and a third one was wounded, and
that the shooter had taken his own life. Well now
they backed away from that and said that only one
detainee was killed, two were wounded, and that the shooter
did take his own life. So I think the HS FBI,
they're all still trying to nail down details of this story.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
John right. I mean not to be insensitive, but there
aren't that many victims here. You just have to be
able to count to two.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It could be one of these. You've probably seen this before, johnn.
And this is the cross jurisdictional thing. You've got local police,
you've got Ice there, you've got the FBI coming in
County sheriff's deputies. And somehow, sometimes even in a low
number like this, you accounting gets confused.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So this guy was a sniper, do we know where
he was located? In relation to this ICE detention center?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
About two hundred yards away and up on a high perch,
apparently on top of a building adjacent to this ICE
detention facility in Dallas, so two hundred yards away using
what appears to be a hunting rifle of some kind,
apparently an old school hunting rifle. Actually, Tash Bittel, the
FBI director, this afternoon, posted images on Acts of five
(02:48):
bullets five you know, these high powered cartridges, one of
them with something scrawled on the side that says anti ICE.
So his thinking is that this was clearly targeted toward
the ICE agents down in the detention facility, not necessarily
the detainees who ended up getting shot and wounded. In fact,
no ICE agents were hurt at all. So yeah, I mean,
(03:09):
if it was aimed at ICE agents, it was you know,
tragically misguided from the start obviously, but also the apparently
didn't you know, strike the people this this person was
trying to strike.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Was he shooting wildly? I heard windows were shot out.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Apparently, So yeah, I mean, and there were you know,
Wittingses have told ABC that between ten fifteen, maybe twenty
shots were fired over not just in rapid succession, but
over you know, a minute's time. So and that yeah,
it was kind of wild shooting there. But again, I mean,
as kash Ptel's X posting shows, there were still five
(03:45):
bullets left unspent.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And what do we know about this guy? He's twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Not much, that's about it. And you know, we're trying
to get more on this person. The FBI has not
officially named this person as the as the shooter. The
DHS hasn't either, so I'm not quite sure where that
all is coming from. We're just trying to get this
nailed down from somebody. But again, I think it may
be this cross jurisdictional kind of confusion federal agents versus
(04:12):
local versus state, and you get this game of telephone going.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
John, So, what's the status of this detention center right now?
Because didn't wasn't it the scene of an attack recently?
Or was that another detention center a short distance away?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, there are two things going on. About a month ago,
a guy walked up to this detention facility in Dallas,
had a backpack on and had what he claimed was
a detonator on his wrist and said that he had
a bomb in the backpack. Well, you know, he was
taken down the backpack was searched. There was nothing in
there except I think it can of spray of some kind,
(04:50):
some clothing stuff like this, and so yeah, it was
that was not a credible threat. But earlier this year,
I think it was July. Yeah, it was July fourth
at Alboreto, Texas, which is about forty miles away from
this center. This is down south of Fort Worth, there
was an ambush style attack on an ICE detention facility there.
A local police officer was shot at the neck. He
(05:12):
did survive, and in fact, some of the defendants in
that case were in court in federal court yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
All Right, very good, Jim Ryan, thank you, all right,
see John. All right, Jim Ryan with the first information
that we're getting about the shooting in Dallas today, and
it's one killed, two wounded. These were immigrant detainees. This
guy was shooting a bit wildly, striking windows, and you
(05:41):
know you would think he well, obviously you know, he
meant to hit ICE agents. I mean, that's really what
it's said on the bullets. Anti ICE is what he
inscribed on the bullets. So this is now the third
time we've had bullet inscriptions. I'd never heard of this
before then, Luigi Mangioi got this trend started when he
shot to death that healthcare executive and then you know,
(06:03):
we know about the Charlie Kirk situation too. So this
is the new thing now. The ICE, all ICE agents
and employees are in grave danger right now. So leave
it to Gavin Newsom to go on Stephen Colbert's show
last night and try to ramp up the aggressive rhetoric
against ICE agents. It's hard to believe he's doing this,
(06:29):
and what he's doing really is dangerous considering the the
atmosphere right now. But we'll play you're governor. You're listening
in California. This is the guy the majority of people
chose to be the mature leader. Yikes. We'll talk about
it coming up.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
If you missed anything, you listen to the podcast that's
posted after four o'clock on the iHeart app and it's
called John Codelt Show on Demand and that's how you
pick up whatever you missed. All right, So this is
a big story today is we have another sniper. We
have more engraved bullets, and it looks like this is
the beginning of a new chapter here in American life.
(07:14):
You ought to be always looking up and around and
keep your eye on rooftops, especially if you're near some
government building or there's something controversial going on. Because we
had a guy in Dallas get on a rooftop and
try to take out ICE agents. But he didn't know
(07:34):
what he was shooting at, or he was a bad shot,
I don't know, but he he hit three illegal aliens
who were being processed for deportation and killed at least
one of them. There's been a dispute about this among
multiple media stories.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, it's driving me insane because first it was one,
then it's two, and now I heard Jim Ryan say one.
But then Associated Press and all other outlets are saying
too detained.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, I got a set of stories in front of me,
and each one has a different so we'll just say
at least one, at least one, maybe two. He hit three.
He also killed himself, and he's a twenty nine year
old schlub of a guy and his criminal background. So far,
all I've seen is there's a mugshot on file in
(08:23):
Collin County, Texas, or maybe this is in Oklahoma, twenty
fifteen arrest for marijuana possession. Yeah, that is Texas. He
has been living in Durant, Oklahoma. So that's the guy.
There's no more. He inscribed on the bullets anti ICE,
(08:45):
so there can't be any dispute anymore like there was
over you know, what were the political leanings of the
Charlie kirkshooter. You know, there's this whole debate moderated by
Jimmy Kimmel. This for sure, since he put it on
the bullet is an anti ICE guy and it happened
in Texas. So the Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz, he
(09:07):
has asked demanded politicians to stop demonizing ICE. Violence is wrong.
Politically motivated violence is wrong. I think we can all
agree on that, to every politician who is using rhetoric
demonizing ICE and demonizing CBP customers. In Border Protection STOP
(09:28):
and Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome called out the unprecedented
violence facing ICE employees, and ICE is facing an unprecedented
amount of violence against them. It must stop. Pray for
the victims and their families. JD. Vance said, the obsessive
attacks on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop, and now
(09:51):
for an opposing point of view. We have our narcissistic,
sociopathic governor. He went on the Stephen Colbert Show last
night and let's play cut seven.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
This is his analysis of Ice. The Ice issue is
alarming beyond words. It is the private, largest private domestic
army of its type police force anywhere in the world.
He'll have thirty thousand people that increasingly appear to be
swore in an oath of office to him. Not the
Constitution of the United States again, wake up to what's
(10:28):
going on in this country.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Well, if you hear Gavin Newsom say, and he is
the leading Democratic presidential candidate, say, Ice is the largest
private domestic army and they have no use for the constitution.
What are you supposed to do against the largest domestic
army in history, against the largest domestic army in the
(10:51):
entire world. What do you think guys with guns might do?
They might say, Oh, my goodness, we've got a military
battle going on. I've got to sign up, except there
is nowhere to sign up. That's okay, I have my gun,
I have my inscribed bullets. I'll just start taking ICE
agents out. Next thing you know, the guy is up
on the roof I mean Newsome just said this last
(11:14):
time in Colbert and first thing this morning, there's a
guy on the roof. He's got his own specially in
gray bullets, and he's trying to take out ICE agents.
Except this guy was not that sharp, either intellectually or
as a shooter, because instead he took out three illegal aliens,
killed at least one. But this is the guy we have,
Gavin Newsom play that again.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
The ICE issue is alarming beyond words. It is the private,
the largest private domestic army of its type police force
anywhere in the world. He'll have thirty thousand people that
increasingly appear to be sworeing an oath of office to him,
not the Constitution of the United States. Again, wake up
(11:56):
to what's going on in this country.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, got that. And of course he just passed that
foolish mask ban here in California, saying ICE agents cannot
wear masks. It's now illegal in California, which is, as
I explained yesterday, a load of garbage because he can't
set the dress code for a federal law enforcement agency.
And you can see why they need masks because you
(12:19):
have these guys on rooftops trying to take them ount.
You also had an ICE lawyer be docked. That story
just was released today and there his family was terrorized.
But Newsom insists that he is this is all reasonable
(12:40):
what he's proposing here, This is the way ICE ought
to be treated, Blake cut eight.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Shouldn't these people show who they are and normalize their
behavior so that people aren't terrified.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
This is the worst part about it. It had deep
empathy for these poor folks in the National Guard. These are,
by the way, these are a name National guardmen and
women are teachers, firefighters, paramedics. These are the folks that
were helping us with a recovery in LA being used
as ponds. The same thing for a lot of these
federal agents. A deep empathy to your point. Wait, wait,
(13:13):
you wants deep empathy. But he doesn't want them to
wear masks so that the snipers will know who they're
shooting at.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
But he has deep empathy. Don't worry if you're married
to a ICE agent or you're the child of an
ICE agent. Gavin Newsom has deep empathy for your dad
or your mom and for you. But if you know,
we start identifying the ICE agents by removing their masks
and all the good people at CHURLA and related organizations
(13:45):
can start doing their docsing. They can start publishing the
photos and the names and the addresses and phone numbers
of all the ICE agents. So you, mister sniper, will
be able to follow these people to work and back
courtesy of Gavin Newsom's new law, if anybody was going
(14:06):
to pay attention to it, play the rest of.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
This deep empathy. To your point, they're losing We're losing
confidence and trust in law enforcement. It's having an impact,
a chilling impact across the spectrum for other local law
enforcement agencies. Look, they had we had a fifteen year
old disabled kid in Los Angeles was waiting for a
sister to come out of high school, and they pulled
(14:29):
out guns on this kid. They pulled out guns and
handcuffed this young child. That's happening in the United States
of America. Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing,
no due process, no oversight, zero accountability happening in the
United States of America today. People asked, well, is authoritarianism
You're being hyperbolic. We're being hyperbolic. Oh, if you're a
(14:52):
black and brown community.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
It's here in this country, and so I'm deeply proud
that I had the privileg It was assigning the nation's
first bill to address the issue of masking, also to
require you have simple identification.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
To your point, I mean your I jumped out of
an umarked car and a van with a mask on
tried to grab me. I mean, by definition, you're going
to push back. And so these these are not just
authoritarian tendencies. These are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government.
You saw what Stephen Miller said last week. This should
put chills up. Fine called the Democratic Party an extremist organization,
(15:32):
basically a terrorist organization, saying he's going after his enemies.
You saw the tweet that Donald Trump sent out True
social basically telling Pam BONDI, I want these three people
taken out. That's happening in the United States. This can't
be normalized. None of this could be normalized.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, he's got no shame. He just set down a
tweet about Christy Noames saying Christy Noman is going to
have a very bad day. You're welcome, America. He is
trying to channel Trump. It's not natural for him. See,
Trump's personality is authentic it's authentically bombastic and over the top.
Newsom never acted like this, but he thinks it's like, well,
(16:12):
it's working for Trump, this is gonna work for me.
I'm going to be the Democratic version of Trump and
get all crazy. And he was. He was hyperventilating there
for a while. He was so excited I thought he
was going to pass out. And he kept talking about
the deep empathy he has. Clinically, narcissistic sociopaths are not
capable of empathy. That that is like one of the
(16:36):
top traits of a narcissistic sociopath. They can at times
mimic empathy that they see other people have, but it
does not naturally occur to them. They don't have the
brain structure, so they don't get that emotional feeling. But
he's seen other people act empathetic and he knows how
(16:56):
to talk about it, and he has himself now to
amp up to try to imitate Trump's intensity, although I
it's it's fake. He's not naturally this guy. This is
his campaign mode. But he's demonizing Ice agents left and right.
(17:22):
I've never heard him get this upset about any of
the victims of illegal alien gang members who have murdered
so many young girls in this country. He never got
this upset about what happened to Lake and Riley. He
is a complete and utter phony right to his bone barrel.
Every single blood cell in his body is that of
(17:45):
a phony. And so now he is playing the part
of what he thinks is the anti Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Did I mentioned the mooistline? No? I didn't, did I
moistline eight seven seven mois steady six eight seven seven
mois steady six of the talkback feature on the iHeart app.
That's for Friday. We're gonna play it twice. Plenty of room,
plenty of room. The hell wake up, Come on, whole
world's coming apart. We're going to hell. Trump said, so yesterday,
(18:19):
We're all going to hell. Jd Vance today told that
people who criticize Ice that they could go to hell.
Hell is gonna get real crowded. You die today, You're
gonna be standing in a long line to get in
because Advance and Trump are tossing lots of bodies into hell.
All right, So newsome, So I thought I knew him
(18:41):
this morning when I heard that the ICE agents. Uh
well that that this this sniper in Dallas, he wanted
to take out ICE agents. And you know when the
first when the news came out that he had hit
a number of people, I wondered, Oh, geez, they could
be ICE agents. If do some here's that, how's he
going to feel because he went off like a crazy
(19:03):
man last night. And Stephen Colbert calling it the largest
private domestic army. He play cuts seven again real quick
for people just joining us. This is true.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
ICE issue is alarming beyond words. It is the private,
largest private domestic army of its type police force anywhere
in the world. He'll have thirty thousand people that increasingly
appear to be sworeing an oath of babus to him,
not the constitution of the United States. Again, wake up
to what's going on in this country.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
He uses the word private domestic army. As far as
I know, they're all getting paid by the tax bear.
I believe that's a public domestic army. Of course, he's
claiming that they're swearing allegiance to Trump. I don't think
that's true. I haven't seen their oath that they take,
or even if they take an oath, but I think
he's lying about that news And I thought, well, how
(19:53):
does Newson feel this morning? You wake up and you
find out that, well, now somebody listened to you, somebody's
watching Stephen. You know his ratings aren't that bad because
the guy got up this morning and started firing at
an ice facility in Dallas. Unfortunately he hit three illegal aliens.
He missed all the ice agents. But my original question
is how does Newsom feel? And I thought, well, that's
(20:14):
kind of silly. Knwsom doesn't feel. Remember, narcissistic sociopath does
not feel, does not have empathy, incapable of it. So
answer to that is he felt nothing. He went on
Colbert last night and now here's a more wild nonsense.
He's now saying we're not going to have an election
(20:39):
in twenty twenty eight. Play cut two.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
There's a Democratic Party. We have a lot of work
to do to make up for our failures in the past.
We got crushed in this last election, and now we're
in a position where we are struggling to communicate. We're
struggling to win back now the majority in the House
of Representatives, and that's a big part of what I'm
doing not just today in terms of the work out
(21:03):
here raising money, but also raising awareness around how Donald
Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections and how
I fear that we will not have an election in
twenty twenty eight. I really mean that, and the core
of my soul unless we wake up to the code RD.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Wait wait, wait, wait, no, Look did he say in
the core of my soul? I know for a fact
I've seen the X rays. He does not have a soul,
No way, he is soulless. Good Lord, you can't go
around telling people you feel something in your soul. First
of all, I have to repeat this, yere narcissistic sociopath.
You have no feelings and you certainly have no soul.
(21:44):
Play that little last few seconds again.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I really mean that and the core of my soul
unless we wake up to the Code RED what's happening
in this country, and we wake up soberly to how
serious this moment is.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
What what substance would cause that kind of behavior. I mean,
if he's ingesting something, you know, the way Kamala Harris
wanders around stones all the time. He's he's all, he's
all hyper and angry, and he sees paranoid? What what drug?
What drug could make you paranoid? Like that? Uh more
from the Stephen Colbert Show. Oh, it's a different tactic.
(22:25):
Well then then I guess he changes his mind a little.
We'll have an election, but it's going to be like
a Russian election.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
You raise a bigger question about like who will win
in the midterms, to the idea that perhaps we won't
have free and fair and open elevee. Well, would you
imagine that? Where do you see the sort of the
bread crumbs to that?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Right? Well, I mean.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
It's the ultimate fear, is that you no longer lose
your you longer have your democracy to.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Be able to in a second, this is two guys
in an insane asylum. Okay, now they're totally consumed by paranoia.
We're not going to have elections, but we will have
an election, and it's going to be a Putin like election.
And where are the bread crumbs? Bread crumbs, bread crumbs?
Where are those bread crumbs? Leading the two of them,
(23:13):
I continue.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
To be able to make change peacefully.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
He knows he's going to lose the midterm elections. He's underwater,
and he's weak in every category he's Donald Trump is
weakness masquerading his strength. He's weak in every key category.
That's a fact, and I think it's an important fact.
But he knows that, and that's why he dialed not
for votes, but he dialed for seats. He said, he's
quote unquote entitled to five seats. Called Greg Abbott, who
(23:36):
was totally sup hine said yes, sir, and gave him
the five seats in Texas to change the maps. He
did the same thing in Indiana, Missouri. He's doing the
same thing in Florida. And we'll see what happens in Utah.
And Democrats we were going to, you know, we're going
to hold hands, talk about the way the world should be. Said,
it's just so unfair. Maybe write an op ed. Meanwhile,
(23:56):
this guy's consolidating power, and so for us, we just
to push back and fight back. But it's not just that.
That's the tip of the iceberg. Rigging the midterm election
because he knows otherwise he'll lose.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
So we're gonna rig the congressional seats here in California.
That'll show him. Good lord, he's insane, he's nuts. Let's
see what else do we have here. We've got okay.
You know, he's been going on social media and he
(24:30):
has these I guess probably kids in their twenties writing
snarky gen z and nasty comments and memes and things
mocking Trump, because I don't think do Something is capable
of any of the nonsense coming from his social media feeds.
Play cut number five.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
The strategy is inspiration desperation, right, the two driving forces
of life. And everything we were doing and try to
break through wasn't working anymore. And so we decided to
do something to right to your point, a novel called Humor.
I gotta say, oftentimes Democrats we're little, you know, just
we don't We're not as humorous as we should be.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
And when I think of funny, I think of Gavin Newsom, Right,
what do you think of like, you know, the top
ten great comedians of our time, top ten in history.
Nwisom's right up there. Play More says we should.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Be little staff could be little stiff. Yeah, And so
we thought we'd have some fun with it. But I
never imagined it would break through like it has and
get under the skin of the President of the United
States and some of my friends, your friends, friends friends,
someone else and some of my friends on you know,
(25:38):
provda Fox. Yeah, here, here we are.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
This is I think this is uh oh this rehearsed.
We know she's not too thrilled with you.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
No, Gavin Newsom, and why am I giving him advice?
You had to stop it with the Twitter thing.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
I don't know where his wife is.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
If I want his wife, I would say, you are
making a fool of yourself topics.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
She has to have some sense, there's no way. She's
a very smart person. She has to have some sense
of the irony of that.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
But was he Yeah, but it wasn't even Dana was
It was Hannity. All these guys outraged, offended, disgusted because
we put a mirror up to Trump and the absurdity
of what's going on in this country.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
The absurd whole world is fighting about Twitter posts. Okay,
there you go. There's your governor inspiring violence, inspiring snipers
to take shots at ice agents. News Some twenty twenty eight.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
In the three o'clock hour. We're gonna have the Mayor
of Santa Monica landon a grete on she posted something
on social media calling me out. Did she use my
name or actually she posted my photo in the middle
of her video.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
Rank, Yeah, she identified you as a KFI radio host,
but she spliced in a screenshot from one of our
social media videos from at John Cobelt Radio, Okay, and
put it on the screen so people knew who she
was talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well, let's play her clip and you'll see why we're
going to have her on in about it now.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Someone just recently said it at dinner the other night
that we live in this massive.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Echo chamber online if we.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Disagree with someone, we just click away to people who
think exactly like us. But in real life, disagreement requires patients, politeness,
and care.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
We can't just exit the room and.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Go to another room where everybody agrees with us.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
This matters in politics.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Just this morning, I saw a KFI radio host who
has a large audience tens of thousands of listeners, blamed
ten years of what's been happening in Santa Monica on
myself as the mayor and city council. Everything from homelessness
to storefront closures in Santa Monica, public safety and This
shows no understanding of how a charter city works, how
the rotation of a mayor works. I mean, I've only
served a mayor since December. This type of misrepresentation misleads
(28:03):
thousands of listeners and it poisons public trust.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
LADDINTI Granny will come on after three o'clock because I
have been talking incessantly since I lived very near Santa Monica,
how frightening the place is, how scary it is, and
a lot of things my wife and I my family
used to do in Santa Monica for many, many years.
We can't do it anymore because of all the mental
(28:29):
patients and drug addicts that wander around and the crime
that comes with it. It's truly terrifying. They have businesses
closing by the dozens. There was an absurd La Time
story which because they're out of money, they're broke, and
blaming all kinds of things and not blaming the severe
(28:53):
tax loss on the fact that people are afraid to
go there and shop and go to restaurants there, and
tourism is down. But Lennon de Grete wants to come
on and we'll talk about it. Civilly coming up after
three o'clock after two o'clock, we're gonna have Michael Monks
from KFI News while Santa Monicas broke so is La
(29:16):
and then somehow yesterday Mayor Karen Bass announced that miraculously
they've been able to save sixteen hundred city workers from
being laid off. They were supposed to get rid of
sixteen hundred city workers. Now it's going to be zero.
They were billion dollars short. What they covered that billion
(29:38):
dollars with? If they're not letting anybody go, well maybe
Michael knows. I can't figure it out. Debor 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. About five minutes ago,
I officially slipped into dimension. Oh what happened? I got
up to go to the office and get my chair,
you know, the special chair, and I walked all the
way down and walked all the way back, and it
turns out I was already sitting in that chair. Okay,
(00:23):
so it's over. That's that's pretty clear. We've got a
really intense show for you coming up here. You may
have heard first thing this morning was the story out
of Dallas Joshua John twenty nine years old, and he
was the latest sniper. He killed at least two people
(00:45):
at the Dallas Ice facility. Turned out they were illegal
immigrants who were being taken to the detention center. He
also well, one was killed and two were wounded. I
got two different stories here, so we'll see what the
details are. He also then killed himself. Jim Ryan, ABC
News corresponded out of Dallas, what is the total?
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, it is back to where this's been the most
chaotic story I think that I've seen in a long time. John,
I mean it was chaotic when it first started. Of course,
you've got gun fire over there alongside the Semon's Free
Away in Dallas, and bullets flying everywhere, and yeah, it's
been hard to nail down numbers. The Department of Homeland
Security issued a statement earlier on saying that two detainees
(01:33):
had been killed and a third one was wounded, and
that the shooter had taken his own life. Well now
they backed away from that and said that only one
detainee was killed, two were wounded, and that the shooter
did take his own life. So I think the HS FBI,
they're all still trying to nail down details of this story.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
John right. I mean not to be insensitive, but there
aren't that many victims here. You just have to be
able to count to two.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It could be one of these. You've probably seen this before, johnn.
And this is the cross jurisdictional thing. You've got local police,
you've got Ice there, you've got the FBI coming in
County sheriff's deputies. And somehow, sometimes even in a low
number like this, you accounting gets confused.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
So this guy was a sniper, do we know where
he was located? In relation to this ICE detention center?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
About two hundred yards away and up on a high perch,
apparently on top of a building adjacent to this ICE
detention facility in Dallas, so two hundred yards away using
what appears to be a hunting rifle of some kind,
apparently an old school hunting rifle. Actually, Tash Bittel, the
FBI director, this afternoon, posted images on Acts of five
(02:48):
bullets five you know, these high powered cartridges, one of
them with something scrawled on the side that says anti ICE.
So his thinking is that this was clearly targeted toward
the ICE agents down in the detention facility, not necessarily
the detainees who ended up getting shot and wounded. In fact,
no ICE agents were hurt at all. So yeah, I mean,
(03:09):
if it was aimed at ICE agents, it was you know,
tragically misguided from the start obviously, but also the apparently
didn't you know, strike the people this this person was
trying to strike.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Was he shooting wildly? I heard windows were shot out.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Apparently, So yeah, I mean, and there were you know,
Wittingses have told ABC that between ten fifteen, maybe twenty
shots were fired over not just in rapid succession, but
over you know, a minute's time. So and that yeah,
it was kind of wild shooting there. But again, I mean,
as kash Ptel's X posting shows, there were still five
(03:45):
bullets left unspent.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
And what do we know about this guy? He's twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Not much, that's about it. And you know, we're trying
to get more on this person. The FBI has not
officially named this person as the as the shooter. The
DHS hasn't either, so I'm not quite sure where that
all is coming from. We're just trying to get this
nailed down from somebody. But again, I think it may
be this cross jurisdictional kind of confusion federal agents versus
(04:12):
local versus state, and you get this game of telephone going.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
John, So, what's the status of this detention center right now?
Because didn't wasn't it the scene of an attack recently?
Or was that another detention center a short distance away?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, there are two things going on. About a month ago,
a guy walked up to this detention facility in Dallas,
had a backpack on and had what he claimed was
a detonator on his wrist and said that he had
a bomb in the backpack. Well, you know, he was
taken down the backpack was searched. There was nothing in
there except I think it can of spray of some kind,
(04:50):
some clothing stuff like this, and so yeah, it was
that was not a credible threat. But earlier this year,
I think it was July. Yeah, it was July fourth
at Alboreto, Texas, which is about forty miles away from
this center. This is down south of Fort Worth, there
was an ambush style attack on an ICE detention facility there.
A local police officer was shot at the neck. He
(05:12):
did survive, and in fact, some of the defendants in
that case were in court in federal court yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
All Right, very good, Jim Ryan, thank you, all right,
see John. All right, Jim Ryan with the first information
that we're getting about the shooting in Dallas today, and
it's one killed, two wounded. These were immigrant detainees. This
guy was shooting a bit wildly, striking windows, and you
(05:41):
know you would think he well, obviously you know, he
meant to hit ICE agents. I mean, that's really what
it's said on the bullets. Anti ICE is what he
inscribed on the bullets. So this is now the third
time we've had bullet inscriptions. I'd never heard of this
before then, Luigi Mangioi got this trend started when he
shot to death that healthcare executive and then you know,
(06:03):
we know about the Charlie Kirk situation too. So this
is the new thing now. The ICE, all ICE agents
and employees are in grave danger right now. So leave
it to Gavin Newsom to go on Stephen Colbert's show
last night and try to ramp up the aggressive rhetoric
against ICE agents. It's hard to believe he's doing this,
(06:29):
and what he's doing really is dangerous considering the the
atmosphere right now. But we'll play you're governor. You're listening
in California. This is the guy the majority of people
chose to be the mature leader. Yikes. We'll talk about
it coming up.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
If you missed anything, you listen to the podcast that's
posted after four o'clock on the iHeart app and it's
called John Codelt Show on Demand and that's how you
pick up whatever you missed. All right, So this is
a big story today is we have another sniper. We
have more engraved bullets, and it looks like this is
the beginning of a new chapter here in American life.
(07:14):
You ought to be always looking up and around and
keep your eye on rooftops, especially if you're near some
government building or there's something controversial going on. Because we
had a guy in Dallas get on a rooftop and
try to take out ICE agents. But he didn't know
(07:34):
what he was shooting at, or he was a bad shot,
I don't know, but he he hit three illegal aliens
who were being processed for deportation and killed at least
one of them. There's been a dispute about this among
multiple media stories.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Yeah, it's driving me insane because first it was one,
then it's two, and now I heard Jim Ryan say one.
But then Associated Press and all other outlets are saying
too detained.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, I got a set of stories in front of me,
and each one has a different so we'll just say
at least one, at least one, maybe two. He hit three.
He also killed himself, and he's a twenty nine year
old schlub of a guy and his criminal background. So far,
all I've seen is there's a mugshot on file in
(08:23):
Collin County, Texas, or maybe this is in Oklahoma, twenty
fifteen arrest for marijuana possession. Yeah, that is Texas. He
has been living in Durant, Oklahoma. So that's the guy.
There's no more. He inscribed on the bullets anti ICE,
(08:45):
so there can't be any dispute anymore like there was
over you know, what were the political leanings of the
Charlie kirkshooter. You know, there's this whole debate moderated by
Jimmy Kimmel. This for sure, since he put it on
the bullet is an anti ICE guy and it happened
in Texas. So the Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz, he
(09:07):
has asked demanded politicians to stop demonizing ICE. Violence is wrong.
Politically motivated violence is wrong. I think we can all
agree on that, to every politician who is using rhetoric
demonizing ICE and demonizing CBP customers. In Border Protection STOP
(09:28):
and Homeland Security Secretary Christy Nome called out the unprecedented
violence facing ICE employees, and ICE is facing an unprecedented
amount of violence against them. It must stop. Pray for
the victims and their families. JD. Vance said, the obsessive
attacks on law enforcement, particularly ICE, must stop, and now
(09:51):
for an opposing point of view. We have our narcissistic,
sociopathic governor. He went on the Stephen Colbert Show last
night and let's play cut seven.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
This is his analysis of Ice. The Ice issue is
alarming beyond words. It is the private, largest private domestic
army of its type police force anywhere in the world.
He'll have thirty thousand people that increasingly appear to be
swore in an oath of office to him. Not the
Constitution of the United States again, wake up to what's
(10:28):
going on in this country.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Well, if you hear Gavin Newsom say, and he is
the leading Democratic presidential candidate, say, Ice is the largest
private domestic army and they have no use for the constitution.
What are you supposed to do against the largest domestic
army in history, against the largest domestic army in the
(10:51):
entire world. What do you think guys with guns might do?
They might say, Oh, my goodness, we've got a military
battle going on. I've got to sign up, except there
is nowhere to sign up. That's okay, I have my gun,
I have my inscribed bullets. I'll just start taking ICE
agents out. Next thing you know, the guy is up
on the roof I mean Newsome just said this last
(11:14):
time in Colbert and first thing this morning, there's a
guy on the roof. He's got his own specially in
gray bullets, and he's trying to take out ICE agents.
Except this guy was not that sharp, either intellectually or
as a shooter, because instead he took out three illegal aliens,
killed at least one. But this is the guy we have,
Gavin Newsom play that again.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
The ICE issue is alarming beyond words. It is the private,
the largest private domestic army of its type police force
anywhere in the world. He'll have thirty thousand people that
increasingly appear to be sworeing an oath of office to him,
not the Constitution of the United States. Again, wake up
(11:56):
to what's going on in this country.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Okay, got that. And of course he just passed that
foolish mask ban here in California, saying ICE agents cannot
wear masks. It's now illegal in California, which is, as
I explained yesterday, a load of garbage because he can't
set the dress code for a federal law enforcement agency.
And you can see why they need masks because you
(12:19):
have these guys on rooftops trying to take them ount.
You also had an ICE lawyer be docked. That story
just was released today and there his family was terrorized.
But Newsom insists that he is this is all reasonable
(12:40):
what he's proposing here, This is the way ICE ought
to be treated, Blake cut eight.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Shouldn't these people show who they are and normalize their
behavior so that people aren't terrified.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
This is the worst part about it. It had deep
empathy for these poor folks in the National Guard. These are,
by the way, these are a name National guardmen and
women are teachers, firefighters, paramedics. These are the folks that
were helping us with a recovery in LA being used
as ponds. The same thing for a lot of these
federal agents. A deep empathy to your point. Wait, wait,
(13:13):
you wants deep empathy. But he doesn't want them to
wear masks so that the snipers will know who they're
shooting at.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
But he has deep empathy. Don't worry if you're married
to a ICE agent or you're the child of an
ICE agent. Gavin Newsom has deep empathy for your dad
or your mom and for you. But if you know,
we start identifying the ICE agents by removing their masks
and all the good people at CHURLA and related organizations
(13:45):
can start doing their docsing. They can start publishing the
photos and the names and the addresses and phone numbers
of all the ICE agents. So you, mister sniper, will
be able to follow these people to work and back
courtesy of Gavin Newsom's new law, if anybody was going
(14:06):
to pay attention to it, play the rest of.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
This deep empathy. To your point, they're losing We're losing
confidence and trust in law enforcement. It's having an impact,
a chilling impact across the spectrum for other local law
enforcement agencies. Look, they had we had a fifteen year
old disabled kid in Los Angeles was waiting for a
sister to come out of high school, and they pulled
(14:29):
out guns on this kid. They pulled out guns and
handcuffed this young child. That's happening in the United States
of America. Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing,
no due process, no oversight, zero accountability happening in the
United States of America today. People asked, well, is authoritarianism
You're being hyperbolic. We're being hyperbolic. Oh, if you're a
(14:52):
black and brown community.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
It's here in this country, and so I'm deeply proud
that I had the privileg It was assigning the nation's
first bill to address the issue of masking, also to
require you have simple identification.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
To your point, I mean your I jumped out of
an umarked car and a van with a mask on
tried to grab me. I mean, by definition, you're going
to push back. And so these these are not just
authoritarian tendencies. These are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government.
You saw what Stephen Miller said last week. This should
put chills up. Fine called the Democratic Party an extremist organization,
(15:32):
basically a terrorist organization, saying he's going after his enemies.
You saw the tweet that Donald Trump sent out True
social basically telling Pam BONDI, I want these three people
taken out. That's happening in the United States. This can't
be normalized. None of this could be normalized.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, he's got no shame. He just set down a
tweet about Christy Noames saying Christy Noman is going to
have a very bad day. You're welcome, America. He is
trying to channel Trump. It's not natural for him. See,
Trump's personality is authentic it's authentically bombastic and over the top.
Newsom never acted like this, but he thinks it's like, well,
(16:12):
it's working for Trump, this is gonna work for me.
I'm going to be the Democratic version of Trump and
get all crazy. And he was. He was hyperventilating there
for a while. He was so excited I thought he
was going to pass out. And he kept talking about
the deep empathy he has. Clinically, narcissistic sociopaths are not
capable of empathy. That that is like one of the
(16:36):
top traits of a narcissistic sociopath. They can at times
mimic empathy that they see other people have, but it
does not naturally occur to them. They don't have the
brain structure, so they don't get that emotional feeling. But
he's seen other people act empathetic and he knows how
(16:56):
to talk about it, and he has himself now to
amp up to try to imitate Trump's intensity, although I
it's it's fake. He's not naturally this guy. This is
his campaign mode. But he's demonizing Ice agents left and right.
(17:22):
I've never heard him get this upset about any of
the victims of illegal alien gang members who have murdered
so many young girls in this country. He never got
this upset about what happened to Lake and Riley. He
is a complete and utter phony right to his bone barrel.
Every single blood cell in his body is that of
(17:45):
a phony. And so now he is playing the part
of what he thinks is the anti Trump.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Did I mentioned the mooistline? No? I didn't, did I
moistline eight seven seven mois steady six eight seven seven
mois steady six of the talkback feature on the iHeart app.
That's for Friday. We're gonna play it twice. Plenty of room,
plenty of room. The hell wake up, Come on, whole
world's coming apart. We're going to hell. Trump said, so yesterday,
(18:19):
We're all going to hell. Jd Vance today told that
people who criticize Ice that they could go to hell.
Hell is gonna get real crowded. You die today, You're
gonna be standing in a long line to get in
because Advance and Trump are tossing lots of bodies into hell.
All right, So newsome, So I thought I knew him
(18:41):
this morning when I heard that the ICE agents. Uh
well that that this this sniper in Dallas, he wanted
to take out ICE agents. And you know when the
first when the news came out that he had hit
a number of people, I wondered, Oh, geez, they could
be ICE agents. If do some here's that, how's he
going to feel because he went off like a crazy
(19:03):
man last night. And Stephen Colbert calling it the largest
private domestic army. He play cuts seven again real quick
for people just joining us. This is true.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
ICE issue is alarming beyond words. It is the private,
largest private domestic army of its type police force anywhere
in the world. He'll have thirty thousand people that increasingly
appear to be sworeing an oath of babus to him,
not the constitution of the United States. Again, wake up
to what's going on in this country.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
He uses the word private domestic army. As far as
I know, they're all getting paid by the tax bear.
I believe that's a public domestic army. Of course, he's
claiming that they're swearing allegiance to Trump. I don't think
that's true. I haven't seen their oath that they take,
or even if they take an oath, but I think
he's lying about that news And I thought, well, how
(19:53):
does Newson feel this morning? You wake up and you
find out that, well, now somebody listened to you, somebody's
watching Stephen. You know his ratings aren't that bad because
the guy got up this morning and started firing at
an ice facility in Dallas. Unfortunately he hit three illegal aliens.
He missed all the ice agents. But my original question
is how does Newsom feel? And I thought, well, that's
(20:14):
kind of silly. Knwsom doesn't feel. Remember, narcissistic sociopath does
not feel, does not have empathy, incapable of it. So
answer to that is he felt nothing. He went on
Colbert last night and now here's a more wild nonsense.
He's now saying we're not going to have an election
(20:39):
in twenty twenty eight. Play cut two.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
There's a Democratic Party. We have a lot of work
to do to make up for our failures in the past.
We got crushed in this last election, and now we're
in a position where we are struggling to communicate. We're
struggling to win back now the majority in the House
of Representatives, and that's a big part of what I'm
doing not just today in terms of the work out
(21:03):
here raising money, but also raising awareness around how Donald
Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections and how
I fear that we will not have an election in
twenty twenty eight. I really mean that, and the core
of my soul unless we wake up to the code RD.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Wait wait, wait, wait, no, Look did he say in
the core of my soul? I know for a fact
I've seen the X rays. He does not have a soul,
No way, he is soulless. Good Lord, you can't go
around telling people you feel something in your soul. First
of all, I have to repeat this, yere narcissistic sociopath.
You have no feelings and you certainly have no soul.
(21:44):
Play that little last few seconds again.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I really mean that and the core of my soul
unless we wake up to the Code RED what's happening
in this country, and we wake up soberly to how
serious this moment is.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
What what substance would cause that kind of behavior. I mean,
if he's ingesting something, you know, the way Kamala Harris
wanders around stones all the time. He's he's all, he's
all hyper and angry, and he sees paranoid? What what drug?
What drug could make you paranoid? Like that? Uh more
from the Stephen Colbert Show. Oh, it's a different tactic.
(22:25):
Well then then I guess he changes his mind a little.
We'll have an election, but it's going to be like
a Russian election.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
You raise a bigger question about like who will win
in the midterms, to the idea that perhaps we won't
have free and fair and open elevee. Well, would you
imagine that? Where do you see the sort of the
bread crumbs to that?
Speaker 4 (22:47):
Right? Well, I mean.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
It's the ultimate fear, is that you no longer lose
your you longer have your democracy to.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Be able to in a second, this is two guys
in an insane asylum. Okay, now they're totally consumed by paranoia.
We're not going to have elections, but we will have
an election, and it's going to be a Putin like election.
And where are the bread crumbs? Bread crumbs, bread crumbs?
Where are those bread crumbs? Leading the two of them,
(23:13):
I continue.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
To be able to make change peacefully.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
He knows he's going to lose the midterm elections. He's underwater,
and he's weak in every category he's Donald Trump is
weakness masquerading his strength. He's weak in every key category.
That's a fact, and I think it's an important fact.
But he knows that, and that's why he dialed not
for votes, but he dialed for seats. He said, he's
quote unquote entitled to five seats. Called Greg Abbott, who
(23:36):
was totally sup hine said yes, sir, and gave him
the five seats in Texas to change the maps. He
did the same thing in Indiana, Missouri. He's doing the
same thing in Florida. And we'll see what happens in Utah.
And Democrats we were going to, you know, we're going
to hold hands, talk about the way the world should be. Said,
it's just so unfair. Maybe write an op ed. Meanwhile,
(23:56):
this guy's consolidating power, and so for us, we just
to push back and fight back. But it's not just that.
That's the tip of the iceberg. Rigging the midterm election
because he knows otherwise he'll lose.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
So we're gonna rig the congressional seats here in California.
That'll show him. Good lord, he's insane, he's nuts. Let's
see what else do we have here. We've got okay.
You know, he's been going on social media and he
(24:30):
has these I guess probably kids in their twenties writing
snarky gen z and nasty comments and memes and things
mocking Trump, because I don't think do Something is capable
of any of the nonsense coming from his social media feeds.
Play cut number five.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
The strategy is inspiration desperation, right, the two driving forces
of life. And everything we were doing and try to
break through wasn't working anymore. And so we decided to
do something to right to your point, a novel called Humor.
I gotta say, oftentimes Democrats we're little, you know, just
we don't We're not as humorous as we should be.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
And when I think of funny, I think of Gavin Newsom, Right,
what do you think of like, you know, the top
ten great comedians of our time, top ten in history.
Nwisom's right up there. Play More says we should.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
Be little staff could be little stiff. Yeah, And so
we thought we'd have some fun with it. But I
never imagined it would break through like it has and
get under the skin of the President of the United
States and some of my friends, your friends, friends friends,
someone else and some of my friends on you know,
(25:38):
provda Fox. Yeah, here, here we are.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
This is I think this is uh oh this rehearsed.
We know she's not too thrilled with you.
Speaker 7 (25:47):
No, Gavin Newsom, and why am I giving him advice?
You had to stop it with the Twitter thing.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
I don't know where his wife is.
Speaker 8 (25:55):
If I want his wife, I would say, you are
making a fool of yourself topics.
Speaker 5 (26:02):
She has to have some sense, there's no way. She's
a very smart person. She has to have some sense
of the irony of that.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
But was he Yeah, but it wasn't even Dana was
It was Hannity. All these guys outraged, offended, disgusted because
we put a mirror up to Trump and the absurdity
of what's going on in this country.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
The absurd whole world is fighting about Twitter posts. Okay,
there you go. There's your governor inspiring violence, inspiring snipers
to take shots at ice agents. News Some twenty twenty eight.
It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
In the three o'clock hour. We're gonna have the Mayor
of Santa Monica landon a grete on she posted something
on social media calling me out. Did she use my
name or actually she posted my photo in the middle
of her video.
Speaker 9 (26:59):
Rank, Yeah, she identified you as a KFI radio host,
but she spliced in a screenshot from one of our
social media videos from at John Cobelt Radio, Okay, and
put it on the screen so people knew who she
was talking about.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Well, let's play her clip and you'll see why we're
going to have her on in about it now.
Speaker 8 (27:18):
Someone just recently said it at dinner the other night
that we live in this massive.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Echo chamber online if we.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Disagree with someone, we just click away to people who
think exactly like us. But in real life, disagreement requires patients, politeness,
and care.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
We can't just exit the room and.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
Go to another room where everybody agrees with us.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
This matters in politics.
Speaker 8 (27:40):
Just this morning, I saw a KFI radio host who
has a large audience tens of thousands of listeners, blamed
ten years of what's been happening in Santa Monica on
myself as the mayor and city council. Everything from homelessness
to storefront closures in Santa Monica, public safety and This
shows no understanding of how a charter city works, how
the rotation of a mayor works. I mean, I've only
served a mayor since December. This type of misrepresentation misleads
(28:03):
thousands of listeners and it poisons public trust.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
LADDINTI Granny will come on after three o'clock because I
have been talking incessantly since I lived very near Santa Monica,
how frightening the place is, how scary it is, and
a lot of things my wife and I my family
used to do in Santa Monica for many, many years.
We can't do it anymore because of all the mental
(28:29):
patients and drug addicts that wander around and the crime
that comes with it. It's truly terrifying. They have businesses
closing by the dozens. There was an absurd La Time
story which because they're out of money, they're broke, and
blaming all kinds of things and not blaming the severe
(28:53):
tax loss on the fact that people are afraid to
go there and shop and go to restaurants there, and
tourism is down. But Lennon de Grete wants to come
on and we'll talk about it. Civilly coming up after
three o'clock after two o'clock, we're gonna have Michael Monks
from KFI News while Santa Monicas broke so is La
(29:16):
and then somehow yesterday Mayor Karen Bass announced that miraculously
they've been able to save sixteen hundred city workers from
being laid off. They were supposed to get rid of
sixteen hundred city workers. Now it's going to be zero.
They were billion dollars short. What they covered that billion
(29:38):
dollars with? If they're not letting anybody go, well maybe
Michael knows. I can't figure it out. Debor Mark is
