Speaker 1 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio
appf I Am six forty. We're stimulating talk radio. Can
you close the door for me over there?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We're out every day from one until four o'clock, and
then every day after four o'clock it's the John Cobelt
Show on demand. That's the podcast. We've got news that
is just developing. In the last hour. We were all
set to tell you about Gavin Newsom's PEP rally stunt
today in downtown LA to announce is a redistricting plan,
But then the Feds moved in on the streets, some
(00:39):
ice activity, and we have Michael Monks here from KFI
News to tell us what was going on outside.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, we thought the story was going to be inside,
the governor coming to Los Angeles to explain this redistricting strategy,
all the big California Democrat heavy hitters there, Senator's Cheff Padilla,
and then outside suddenly there is a federal immigration enforcement
action that takes place. At least one guy taken into
custody looked like he was setting up to sell strawberries
(01:06):
outside the Japanese American History Museum there in Little Tokyo
where the governor was speaking. So then a little bit
of a raucous situation develops outside, so raucous in fact,
that La Maherbas herself came down to the scene, as
she has been doing at some of these immigration enforcement actions.
She shows up. Listen to what she said afterwards, Why would.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
You do that? That is unbelievably disrespectful. It's a provocative act.
They're talking about disorder in Los Angeles, and they are
the source of the disorder in Los Angeles right now.
This is just completely unacceptable. This is a administration, this
is a customs and border patrol that has gone amok.
(01:49):
This absolutely has to sup There was no danger here,
There was no need to detain anyone here, and there
was certainly no need to have a provocative act right
here where the governor having.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
A threat count so provocative, she says, because the governor
and all the Democrats are right inside this building, and
in spite of these legal, ongoing legal proceedings we have
between the city and other local governments and the federal
government over immigration enforcement, they show up right at the
doorstep of this event and conduct an immigration enforcement act.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And it's one guy selling strawberries.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
It's one guy selling strawberries. Now, the Border Patrol chief,
is it the strawberries that make you laugh?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Just the trolling that's going on here.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
You get the sense then that this appears to be
a provocative act.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yes, and it's one that cracks me up.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, here's how many guys did they send after the strawberry?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
There were multiple federal agents there. Reports indicated a couple dozen,
almost of federal agents that were down there and they
grabbed this guy who was setting up a strawberry stand. Now,
what is the Border Patrol saying about this, Well, we
are just in the neighborhood conducting rolling raids. In fact,
Greg Bovino, the chief of the Border Patrol here in
(03:13):
our area. Here's what he said. This is a.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Location that we have conducted these roving patrol duties for
the past two months. We've been here over two months,
and as you can see today, we did make an
apprehension just a few feet from where I'm standing. The
reason for these roving patrols and the reason for our
presence here in Los Angeles is to make first off,
Los Angeles a safer community, a safer place for us
(03:40):
to live and work.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So not straying far from the talking points except to say, look, look,
we've just been here, and it's true. Little Tokyo is
in that area, that hot zone where a lot of
this activity, especially the protests, have taking place. It's just
around the corner from the federal detention center where a
lot of these suspected illegal immigrants are being held.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And I guess this guy really was illegal.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The Border Patrol says that the man was in the
country illegally. But well, right, you know, this is what
they're here to do. It is unlucky day, precisely. But
over top all of this, we still have that court
injunction that the temporary restraining order. Does it matter. We've
seen the raids pick up again at home depots, we
(04:21):
saw this activity today. Wish I think you're picking up
on the right queue here that this is clearly by design.
I mean, you agree again, this is multiple times where
you've agreed with mayor Baths.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, I know, but it entertains me, it doesn't enrage me.
That's a pretty good guest though. If a guy's selling
strawberries on the street, odds, sorry, he's not a citizen.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You're right in that assessment, right, and you can drive
around Los Angeles and make assumptions that there are certain
stereotypes that can be applied to people who are in
the country illegally. The legal proceeding says you that is
not enough for you to make this kind of stop.
So this is another situation like the Home Depot rates,
where we're waiting to get more information from the federal
(05:06):
government about what additional information did you have besides the
fact that the guy is Hispanic, was speaking Spanish, and
was maybe doing a job that you associate with illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Has anybody filed a suit or a complaint over the
latest home Depot raid.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
No, I think that they're all covered by the same
thing what you could say, So they're just.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Doing it anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And I mean, is there going to be a response though,
from these activist groups or a judge or anything, or.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
There is a couple of things that could happen. One
the Trump administration has already asked for the Supreme Court
to take up this case and end the temporary restraining
order anyway later on in September. September twenty fourth is
the date I believe where the case goes back to
the district court. This is a temporary restraining order currently
it is under consideration for being a permanent injunction that
(05:52):
this federal district judgement would go through the appeals process
and possibly the Supreme Court. Again. You can bet John
that the footage of these raids, especially the trojan horse
raid at the home depot near Westlake and all of
this stuff is on video. It's at least going to
be introduced as evidence that perhaps the Border Patrol has
not been following these procedures. But what are the consequences
(06:14):
of that? That's that's the question that I would like
to know an answer to I think a lot of
us would like to know. Are there If there are
no consequences to violating this temporary restraining order, then why
abide by it in the first place?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
To White House posessions what most of the criminals and
that's their philosophy. There aren't any consequences, so we're going
to keep stealing stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It is true that you have seen a very passionate
response from local officials on this very issue, where you
don't see it in places other people would like to.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I know that's the only time I see Karen bass
getting agitated is when a legal alien gets arrested, or.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
When she accidentally flips on this station.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Oh I'm sure, I'm sure somebody is a signed to
monitor this. Yeah, all right, Michael, very good pleasure. That
was good for a laugh Michael Monk's Cafe I News,
and it successfully distracted at least us for ten minutes
from talking about Gavin Newsom's major announcement today. So I
guess we'll have to do that coming up in the
(07:14):
next segment, because he'd already announced this, I guess a
couple of weeks ago. But this was his formal PEP
rally where they exhumed every reprehensible democratic politician and all
those idiot activists so they could have a series of
speeches and a rally at this Japanese center. We'll play
(07:36):
some cuts and also Newsome and this really was going
to be the big news before this raid happened. Is
it a raid if it's only one person, if it's
only one guy selling strawberries? Raid sounds a little too strong.
It doesn't seem like a capture. Is the insignificance of
the arrest. Gavin Newsom got his first independent poll on
(08:02):
what the public thinks of his redistricting idea, and wow
did he get a stinker of a response from the voters. Woof,
that's coming up next.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
John Cobelt Show. We're on every day from one till
four o'clock. Mooiceline eight seven seven moist Stadty six Moistline
is tomorrow at three twice in the three o'clock hour.
And how are we doing on vacancies here? We got
some vacancies, We got some vacancies, so let's get going.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I think today might help with that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Eight seven seven moys s daighty six. If you're not
going to react to this, what are you dead?
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
All right, So, so many angles to this thing.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Gavin Newsom held a PEP rally today in downtown Los
Angeles at some Japanese center and he got every democratic
hack imaginable and all kinds of activist groups and union
people and they're all standing there holding up signs, and
it looked and sounded very much like a presidential kickoff
news conference, which is really what it was.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know, he has already gone in his.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
First presidential trip to South Carolina trolling for votes there.
Now he's starting his campaign and he's going to be
the leader of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
He's going to take on Trump.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And if Texas is going to redraw the congressional lines
to get more Republicans in Congress in November, then we're
going to do the same thing and redraw the lines. Now,
this is from the man who's brought us all five
dollars a gallon gas.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He is the man who.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Brought us electricity rates that are twice the national average.
He's the man who's brought us the highest unemployment rate
in the country. He's the man who brought us the
most expensive housing in the country. He's the man who
brought us seventy thousand home less people living in Los
Angeles County, seventy thousand. Well, he's also the guy who
(10:05):
lost twenty five billion dollars of homeless money.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
He doesn't know where it went.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
He's also the guy who lost about thirty three billion
dollars of unemployment money that he sent off to criminals
around the world during COVID. He's also the guy who
blew seventeen billion dollars of high speed rail money. And
there is a known destination for these billions and billions.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Of dollars, they just disappeared. He's the guy who brought
us all that. So his the latest.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Boondoggle he's cooked up in his laboratory is the idea
that we should redraw congressional district lines for the twenty
twenty six elections so that he could get his party
could get forty nine out of the fifty two congressional seats.
Right now, Democrats, let's get forty three of the fifty two.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
He wants forty nine.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So even though in California Republican there's about forty percent
of the Republicans vote for Republican congress people, he thinks
that forty percent only deserves six percent representation in Congress.
And of course Trump is a threat to democracy right now.
(11:30):
I guess he wasn't expecting this, but he holds his
big pep rally here in downtown LA not knowing. I
guess that Politico was going to release a new poll.
This is the Politico Citron Center Possibility Lab survey and
found out by a two to one margin, voters reject
(11:54):
his idea of redrawing the congressional district lines. Yes, this
idea loses two to one, sixty four to thirty six.
What's also highly entertaining is it loses in all categories,
all demographics. Independent voters say no seventy two to twenty eight,
(12:17):
Republicans say no sixty six to thirty four, and Democrats
say no sixty one to thirty nine. There is not
much difference between how Republicans and Democrats feel on Gavin
Newsom's redistricting idea.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Isn't that a whot?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And now remember that when you hear all this, all
these speeches and the hyperbole and the cheering and just
all the nonsense, The poll this morning says two thirds
of the public doesn't like it.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Why don't we start?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Another aspect of this, Newsom is decided he's going to
mock Trump by imitating Trump. He put out a series
of tweets. I'm gonna read him to you. This is
what like little kids?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They start imitating you and if you call him something
that they'll imitate your insult.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's what he does. He imitates the writing and he's
he's stealing all of Trump's slogans so he can make
fun of them. He he really has has arrested development.
Like he did not grow beyond twelve. He didn't even
get in his head. He didn't get to puberty like
like like his his his maturity makeup. And so what
(13:34):
he what he did is he declared today Liberation Day,
which is what Trump called, uh the his his his
his tariff announcement. Right, So here's newsom uh just about
an hour.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Ago, today is Liberation Day in the state of California.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
And a senator ship said, as senator said, Donald Trump,
you have poked the bear, and we will punch back.
Here's the good thing about California, folks, with the size
of twenty one state populations combined, we're the fourth largest
economy in the world.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
We are not a small isolated state. I know they say,
don't mess with Texas. Well, don't mess with the great
Golden State. And so we're here with our state of mind,
with the clarity of our purpose and conviction to recognize
that we need to reconcile the world we're living and
(14:29):
we do have agency. We are not by standards in
this world. We can shape the future, and that's what
we intend to do today. We're here because Donald Trump
on January sixth tried to light democracy on fire, tried
to wreck this country, tried to steal an election, as
Alex just said, by trying to dial in for eleven
(14:49):
almost twelve thousand votes. And here we are an open
and plain sight before one vote is cast in the
twenty twenty six midterm election. And here he is once
again trying to rig of a system he doesn't play
by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in
the rules.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
A second, Trump has no control over congressional districts and
how the lines are drawn done. Each state has control itself.
In twenty ten, voters said we want an independent panel
to draw the lines. There's a referendum. It won with
(15:27):
sixty one percent support. Trump cannot undo that, nor can
he affect the Texas vote. This is Gavin Newsom coming
up with this redistricting idea. He's going to sign the
bill that the legislature will pass to put this on
(15:49):
the ballot, and then he'll spend millions of dollars on
a campaign to try to emotionally manipulate Democratic voters, getting
him whipped up into a wroth over Trump, so that Republicans,
independent voters who vote Republican, and others who might choose
(16:10):
a Republican congressman so they get their congressman drawn out
of their district. They're exed out with Gavin Newsom's new lines. Now,
Newsom has a lot of power here. Trump has zero
power here. Gee, you mean Newsom is lying and misleading people. Well,
(16:34):
when he carries on about California being the size of
the twenty one state's fourth largest economy, he did not
mention that we have the highest income tax, the highest
sales tax, the highest gas tax, the highest electricity rates
by a two to one margin, highest gas price is
(16:54):
by far, the highest unemployment rate, the highest poverty rate,
the most people on medical the most homeless people. He
mentioned any of that. It's a failed state. And he's
been the governor now for almost seven years. He's a
complete and utter failure. And the day he launches his
(17:14):
redistricting idea, political says it's wildly unpopular by two to one.
Big guy, rest by case there. But I am going
to read you his silly little tweets where he tries
to mock and imitate Trump as a good eight year
old would do.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
This is a very entertaining day so far, because already
Gavin Newsom had his rally to kick off his campaign
to redraw the congressional seats. His rally was interrupted somewhat
on the app because apparently from the stage of the
(18:00):
speakers started warning people that there were masked gunmen outside
who might arrest you. And turns out there was a
group of vice agents and they did arrest somebody, one
guy who was selling strawberries on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And you know, that diverted some of the attention. It's
made up.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It's on set of headlines here and it's it's ice.
They were out there and they were creating their own ruckas,
got people all upset. Karen Bass came out of her
crypt and ran outside and she just we don't have
that clip, do we could you? We got to get
that one from Michael because we got to we gotta
save that.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh you have it.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, you've got to hear this. I'm not play this
ten times today, Okay. So Karen Bass, uh hardly ever
came out in public in the Palisades over the last
seven months, hardly ever, and but one strawberry merchant gets
arrested on the sidewalk by ice and listener, why.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Would you do that? That is unbelievably disrespectful. It's a
provocative act. They're talking about disorder in Los Angeles and
they are the source of the disorder in Los Angeles.
Right now, this is just completely unacceptable. This is a administration,
this is a customs and border patrol that has gone amok.
(19:27):
This absolutely has to sup There was no danger here,
There was no need to detain anyone here, and there
was certainly no need to have a provocative ass right
here where the governor is having a threat company.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It's one guy, one guy selling strawberries, and that's what
happens to blows her top, completely loses control of emotions.
Didn't see that when the fire was blazing, did you now?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Well, she wasn't here. That's why here.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Going back to the stage, now, Newsome goes after Trump,
listen to this.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's not complicated.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
We're doing this in reaction to a president of the
United States that called a sitting governor of the state
of Texas and said find me five seats. We're doing
it in reaction to that act. We're doing it mindful
of our higher angels and better angels. We're doing it
mindful that we want to model better behavior, as we've
(20:25):
been doing for fifteen years in the state of California
with our independent redistrict and commission. But we cannot unilaterally disarm.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
We can't stand back a second. Fifteen years ago, what
was he doing? He was the was he the failed
bear or San Francisco?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, that's right, Yeah, he was the one who led
San Francisco into the toilet. Originally, that's when all the
homelessness and the public drug use started spinning out of control. Okay,
So in twenty ten, the public passed this reference him
that said they don't want the politicians in Sacramento drawing
(21:04):
the district lines anymore because everybody in Sacramentica they're all
a bunch of crooks, they are correct. Just sixty one
percent of the public said, we'll have an independent commission
draw the lines.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Still the Democrats got forty three out of fifty two seats,
but you know that's the way things go. So now
he wants Remember Trump may have called Greg Abbott, but
Trump has no power to force this redistricting in Texas.
Abbot's doing it, and nobody should be doing this stuff,
(21:41):
but he's doing it. And now Newsom wants to puff
his chest to be the big man. Well I'm going
to do it too. It's like, well, wait, wait a second.
We passed the referendum. It was sixty one to thirty nine.
Nobody wants you to do this, and in fact, the
poll this morning from Politico support for that panel has grown.
It was sixty one thirty nine fifteen years ago. Now
(22:03):
it's sixty four to thirty six. Nobody once knew him
doing this. Newsom saw this poll this morning and like everything,
he just decided to ignore it. The arrogance of this
man is astounding. The narcissism his chest breathtaking.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Now. He also dug up.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
He had Adam Shift there and he had Alex Padia
there that shift. Last I heard of him, he was
getting investigated from Morgan. He was getting investigated for mortgage fraud.
Alex Padilla was there. Last time I saw him. He
was faced down on the floor outside of Christinaha's press conference.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Was he standing upright for this or did.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
He was standing up right?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
He was standing up So they finally peeled him off
the floor.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yes, that's a heavy lift, all right, plake cut six
this padilla.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
And we're gonna do it together.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Because a wise governor that I know is fond of saying, if.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You want to go far, go alone.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Excuse me, you want to go fast, go alone. But
he's a stupid guy.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
He was trying to quote Newsom's favorite African proverb, if
you want to go fast, go alone.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
If you want to go smart, go together. Uh huh,
and he completely fumbled it.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
If you want to go far, go alone?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah, yeah, Newsome as a favorite African proverb.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Sure he does nice virtue signaling.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That was Newsome's word. It's not mine, all right?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Then this this wacky uh, this is a former Union agon.
Who what she I think she's she's in state politics
now representative maybe or she might she's got I forget
what her latest role is, but I know she used
to be in the legislature, used to be a union shrieker.
Now I guess, I guess she's with the Union again.
(24:11):
She's telling Republican members of her union of why Trump
is a bad guy. Lorenda Gonzalez.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
Here they were told, even our Republican members that he
was for working people, that somehow he cared about bringing
manufacturing and jobs back to America and to make sure
that working people were taken care of. And what has
he done. He has systematically destroyed our federal government unions
by abolishing basically collective bargaining agreements that were decades in
(24:42):
the making. He has taken away the right to collectively
bargain of every employee he possibly can and.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
That should violation. Delete that.
Speaker 9 (24:55):
This is what happens when you're a wress conference. Yes,
missed up right before the show starts. Well, the people
on the stream will enjoy that, I hope. So the
last quote was he bleep and lied. You could fill
in your own bleep. That's Lourenda Gonzales. Now she said
(25:21):
that he you know, he screwed over.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Working people because he's dismantling government unions whatever. Government people
are not working people, all right, so stop it. They
do not qualify as working people if.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You been to government offices. In fact, I think in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
About ninety of the workers never showed up for work
the last five years. So that's that's not a thing
government workers. Good lord, she's a crazy person. Now where
do I s I gotta take a break.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I didn't even get to the tweetshet. All right, we'll
do the tweets first thing. Next segment here on Liberation
Day in California, because Gavin Newsom and his little eight
year old brain decided that he was going to mock
and imitate Donald Trump and he was officially kicking off
his campaign to redraw the districts here in the state,
(26:23):
even though the first major pull out says people don't
want it. Sixty four to thirty six people say no
to Gavin Newsom's redrawing the districts because they like that
there's an independent panel that draws those district lines. Nobody
wants Nobody wants Sacramento politicians, especially the Lions, thinking Gavin
(26:47):
Newsom to be doing this.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
We'll talk about it coming up.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I'll read you some of his imitative, mocking, trolling Twitter comments.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Oh mooistline vacancy is still available eight seven seven Moist
eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six or usually
talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. So Kevin Newsome decided
he was going to hold this big PEP rally press
conference in downtown LA and announce his redistricting fight to
(27:28):
take on Texas, to take on Trump.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
And he keeps mocking Texas.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
And I just checked Triple eight run state by state
gas prices, and right now California is at four point
fifty a gallon and Texas is at two seventy eight
a gallon. Imagine rowing up to a gas pump and
it's two seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You know, I heard yesterday too that.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Construction costs in Texas are one third of what they
are in California one third. And in both cases gas
and construction, it's because of excessive, absurd regulation by the
California government. That's why that's why you pay four point
fifty gallon and Texas pays two seventy and that's why
(28:22):
you pay three times as much for construction as they
do in Texas. All right, But other than that, it's
a real pleasure to live here. But Newsom decides that
he's going to key. He's not going to bring the
gas prices down to Texas levels. He's not going to
bring construction prices down to Texas levels by getting rid
of all this asenine regulation. He's going to go after
(28:44):
Donald Trump and try to out Trump Trump. He thinks
he's really funny by imitating and mocking Trump's tweets. So
today Newsom sent out a tweet says that says make
the maps great again. And he writes this in all
capital letters, just like Trump does. Get it big beautiful
(29:07):
rally today. Whoa, he's on a roll. Thank you for
your attention to this matter. It's funny stuff. It's really clever.
It's got another one here. As many know, Donald Taco Trump.
And if you're not a polytical geek, he probably doesn't.
You don't know what that means. It was a nickname
(29:30):
that they tried to hang on Trump briefly. Trump always
chickens out because Trump kept adjusting the tariff rates. Trump,
author of Art of the Deal, a book he should
return to the library, just missed the best deal in history.
He always chickens out tariffs China. I thought the criticism
(29:53):
where the tariffs are going to lead to big inflation.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Oh okay, whatever, But even a.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Chicken should know a good deal when he I your
favorite Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom. You see on that one,
he's mocking the way Trump always refers to himself as
Donald J.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
So he decided Gavin Christopher news and at times he writes,
Gavin C. Newsom, get that joke, Okay, I your favorite governor.
Gavin Christopher Newsom offered the best, most amazing deal in history.
Stop rigging Texas maps in California won't make ours more beautiful. Sadly,
(30:31):
but no surprise, Donald was two weak little hands to
even write me back. That goes back to the twenty
fifteen debates twenty sixteen debates whoa no deal and no
deal equals perfect beautiful maps that will end his presidency soon.
(30:55):
He will not be forty seven Patriots will take back Congress.
Many say I should run for speaker. I won't make
the maps great again. Liberation Day tomorrow, Thank you, GCN.
I'm sure you're I bet to their cars pulled over
to the side of the road right now from people
doubled over laughing right because it's just so clever.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Let me see, is.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
He going to be performing at the improv anytime soon?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Yeah, he's gonna read his tweets on stage. Plus it's
on it's all capital letters, just like Trump. Okay, so
you have to you have to envision this. You go
to the Gavin Newsom press office and you'll see how
cool it is. Oh and then another another, another one.
Gavin uh it says, Donnie j and Carol Lyon Levitt
(31:51):
will have their little hands full today again with the
little hands joke. I guess it was so good the
first time. I Gavin Christopher Newsom, America's favorite governor, many say,
will host the greatest press conference of all time. After that,
the maps will soon be released, very much anticipated history made.
(32:13):
The GOP's rigged game is over. The people retake Congress.
You're welcome America Liberation Day. That's what many are calling it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. He just
keeps recycling the same jokes over and over. Gavin pulls
her out this morning. Sixty four percent of California don't
want to don't want the maps redrawn.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
So at least, well, you know.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
When Trump does things like shut down the border, that's
a real popular stand.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
At least it's something people want.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Nobody has ever given thirty seconds of thought to the
California redistricting maps. This is not a hot button issue.
This is like climate change. Nobody cares. People don't vote
on that stuff. This is this is this is like
what a twelve year old political geek would obsessed on.
(33:09):
All right, enough of him. When we come back. There's
there's still reverberations in Washington, d C. Since TRUMPA took
over the Washington d C. Police Department and it got
one government employee so enraged he committed a federal felony
(33:31):
by throwing a subway sandwich at I guess at federal
law enforcement. Uh, you're not going to believe this. I
wish there was a way I could show this to
you on video. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
We come back, and Deborah Mark's gone.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
Today we got Regina di a Castina live in the
KFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
the John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
show live on KFI Am six forty from one to
four pm every Monday through for and of course anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio
appf I Am six forty. We're stimulating talk radio. Can
you close the door for me over there?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We're out every day from one until four o'clock, and
then every day after four o'clock it's the John Cobelt
Show on demand. That's the podcast. We've got news that
is just developing. In the last hour. We were all
set to tell you about Gavin Newsom's PEP rally stunt
today in downtown LA to announce is a redistricting plan,
But then the Feds moved in on the streets, some
(00:39):
ice activity, and we have Michael Monks here from KFI
News to tell us what was going on outside.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, we thought the story was going to be inside,
the governor coming to Los Angeles to explain this redistricting strategy,
all the big California Democrat heavy hitters there, Senator's Cheff Padilla,
and then outside suddenly there is a federal immigration enforcement
action that takes place. At least one guy taken into
custody looked like he was setting up to sell strawberries
(01:06):
outside the Japanese American History Museum there in Little Tokyo
where the governor was speaking. So then a little bit
of a raucous situation develops outside, so raucous in fact,
that La Maherbas herself came down to the scene, as
she has been doing at some of these immigration enforcement actions.
She shows up. Listen to what she said afterwards, Why would.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
You do that? That is unbelievably disrespectful. It's a provocative act.
They're talking about disorder in Los Angeles, and they are
the source of the disorder in Los Angeles right now.
This is just completely unacceptable. This is a administration, this
is a customs and border patrol that has gone amok.
(01:49):
This absolutely has to sup There was no danger here,
There was no need to detain anyone here, and there
was certainly no need to have a provocative act right
here where the governor having.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
A threat count so provocative, she says, because the governor
and all the Democrats are right inside this building, and
in spite of these legal, ongoing legal proceedings we have
between the city and other local governments and the federal
government over immigration enforcement, they show up right at the
doorstep of this event and conduct an immigration enforcement act.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And it's one guy selling strawberries.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
It's one guy selling strawberries. Now, the Border Patrol chief,
is it the strawberries that make you laugh?
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Just the trolling that's going on here.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
You get the sense then that this appears to be
a provocative act.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yes, and it's one that cracks me up.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Well, here's how many guys did they send after the strawberry?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
There were multiple federal agents there. Reports indicated a couple dozen,
almost of federal agents that were down there and they
grabbed this guy who was setting up a strawberry stand. Now,
what is the Border Patrol saying about this, Well, we
are just in the neighborhood conducting rolling raids. In fact,
Greg Bovino, the chief of the Border Patrol here in
(03:13):
our area. Here's what he said. This is a.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Location that we have conducted these roving patrol duties for
the past two months. We've been here over two months,
and as you can see today, we did make an
apprehension just a few feet from where I'm standing. The
reason for these roving patrols and the reason for our
presence here in Los Angeles is to make first off,
Los Angeles a safer community, a safer place for us
(03:40):
to live and work.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So not straying far from the talking points except to say, look, look,
we've just been here, and it's true. Little Tokyo is
in that area, that hot zone where a lot of
this activity, especially the protests, have taking place. It's just
around the corner from the federal detention center where a
lot of these suspected illegal immigrants are being held.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And I guess this guy really was illegal.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
The Border Patrol says that the man was in the
country illegally. But well, right, you know, this is what
they're here to do. It is unlucky day, precisely. But
over top all of this, we still have that court
injunction that the temporary restraining order. Does it matter. We've
seen the raids pick up again at home depots, we
(04:21):
saw this activity today. Wish I think you're picking up
on the right queue here that this is clearly by design.
I mean, you agree again, this is multiple times where
you've agreed with mayor Baths.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, I know, but it entertains me, it doesn't enrage me.
That's a pretty good guest though. If a guy's selling
strawberries on the street, odds, sorry, he's not a citizen.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You're right in that assessment, right, and you can drive
around Los Angeles and make assumptions that there are certain
stereotypes that can be applied to people who are in
the country illegally. The legal proceeding says you that is
not enough for you to make this kind of stop.
So this is another situation like the Home Depot rates,
where we're waiting to get more information from the federal
(05:06):
government about what additional information did you have besides the
fact that the guy is Hispanic, was speaking Spanish, and
was maybe doing a job that you associate with illegal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Has anybody filed a suit or a complaint over the
latest home Depot raid.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
No, I think that they're all covered by the same
thing what you could say, So they're just.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Doing it anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
And I mean, is there going to be a response though,
from these activist groups or a judge or anything, or.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
There is a couple of things that could happen. One
the Trump administration has already asked for the Supreme Court
to take up this case and end the temporary restraining
order anyway later on in September. September twenty fourth is
the date I believe where the case goes back to
the district court. This is a temporary restraining order currently
it is under consideration for being a permanent injunction that
(05:52):
this federal district judgement would go through the appeals process
and possibly the Supreme Court. Again. You can bet John
that the footage of these raids, especially the trojan horse
raid at the home depot near Westlake and all of
this stuff is on video. It's at least going to
be introduced as evidence that perhaps the Border Patrol has
not been following these procedures. But what are the consequences
(06:14):
of that? That's that's the question that I would like
to know an answer to I think a lot of
us would like to know. Are there If there are
no consequences to violating this temporary restraining order, then why
abide by it in the first place?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
To White House posessions what most of the criminals and
that's their philosophy. There aren't any consequences, so we're going
to keep stealing stuff.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It is true that you have seen a very passionate
response from local officials on this very issue, where you
don't see it in places other people would like to.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
I know that's the only time I see Karen bass
getting agitated is when a legal alien gets arrested, or.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
When she accidentally flips on this station.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Oh I'm sure, I'm sure somebody is a signed to
monitor this. Yeah, all right, Michael, very good pleasure. That
was good for a laugh Michael Monk's Cafe I News,
and it successfully distracted at least us for ten minutes
from talking about Gavin Newsom's major announcement today. So I
guess we'll have to do that coming up in the
(07:14):
next segment, because he'd already announced this, I guess a
couple of weeks ago. But this was his formal PEP
rally where they exhumed every reprehensible democratic politician and all
those idiot activists so they could have a series of
speeches and a rally at this Japanese center. We'll play
(07:36):
some cuts and also Newsome and this really was going
to be the big news before this raid happened. Is
it a raid if it's only one person, if it's
only one guy selling strawberries? Raid sounds a little too strong.
It doesn't seem like a capture. Is the insignificance of
the arrest. Gavin Newsom got his first independent poll on
(08:02):
what the public thinks of his redistricting idea, and wow
did he get a stinker of a response from the voters. Woof,
that's coming up next.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
John Cobelt Show. We're on every day from one till
four o'clock. Mooiceline eight seven seven moist Stadty six Moistline
is tomorrow at three twice in the three o'clock hour.
And how are we doing on vacancies here? We got
some vacancies, We got some vacancies, so let's get going.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
I think today might help with that.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Eight seven seven moys s daighty six. If you're not
going to react to this, what are you dead?
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
All right, So, so many angles to this thing.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Gavin Newsom held a PEP rally today in downtown Los
Angeles at some Japanese center and he got every democratic
hack imaginable and all kinds of activist groups and union
people and they're all standing there holding up signs, and
it looked and sounded very much like a presidential kickoff
news conference, which is really what it was.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You know, he has already gone in his.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
First presidential trip to South Carolina trolling for votes there.
Now he's starting his campaign and he's going to be
the leader of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
He's going to take on Trump.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And if Texas is going to redraw the congressional lines
to get more Republicans in Congress in November, then we're
going to do the same thing and redraw the lines. Now,
this is from the man who's brought us all five
dollars a gallon gas.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He is the man who.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Brought us electricity rates that are twice the national average.
He's the man who's brought us the highest unemployment rate
in the country. He's the man who brought us the
most expensive housing in the country. He's the man who
brought us seventy thousand home less people living in Los
Angeles County, seventy thousand. Well, he's also the guy who
(10:05):
lost twenty five billion dollars of homeless money.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
He doesn't know where it went.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
He's also the guy who lost about thirty three billion
dollars of unemployment money that he sent off to criminals
around the world during COVID. He's also the guy who
blew seventeen billion dollars of high speed rail money. And
there is a known destination for these billions and billions.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Of dollars, they just disappeared. He's the guy who brought
us all that. So his the latest.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Boondoggle he's cooked up in his laboratory is the idea
that we should redraw congressional district lines for the twenty
twenty six elections so that he could get his party
could get forty nine out of the fifty two congressional seats.
Right now, Democrats, let's get forty three of the fifty two.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
He wants forty nine.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So even though in California Republican there's about forty percent
of the Republicans vote for Republican congress people, he thinks
that forty percent only deserves six percent representation in Congress.
And of course Trump is a threat to democracy right now.
(11:30):
I guess he wasn't expecting this, but he holds his
big pep rally here in downtown LA not knowing. I
guess that Politico was going to release a new poll.
This is the Politico Citron Center Possibility Lab survey and
found out by a two to one margin, voters reject
(11:54):
his idea of redrawing the congressional district lines. Yes, this
idea loses two to one, sixty four to thirty six.
What's also highly entertaining is it loses in all categories,
all demographics. Independent voters say no seventy two to twenty eight,
(12:17):
Republicans say no sixty six to thirty four, and Democrats
say no sixty one to thirty nine. There is not
much difference between how Republicans and Democrats feel on Gavin
Newsom's redistricting idea.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Isn't that a whot?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
And now remember that when you hear all this, all
these speeches and the hyperbole and the cheering and just
all the nonsense, The poll this morning says two thirds
of the public doesn't like it.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Why don't we start?
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Another aspect of this, Newsom is decided he's going to
mock Trump by imitating Trump. He put out a series
of tweets. I'm gonna read him to you. This is
what like little kids?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Do you know?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
They start imitating you and if you call him something
that they'll imitate your insult.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's what he does. He imitates the writing and he's
he's stealing all of Trump's slogans so he can make
fun of them. He he really has has arrested development.
Like he did not grow beyond twelve. He didn't even
get in his head. He didn't get to puberty like
like like his his his maturity makeup. And so what
(13:34):
he what he did is he declared today Liberation Day,
which is what Trump called, uh the his his his
his tariff announcement. Right, So here's newsom uh just about
an hour.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Ago, today is Liberation Day in the state of California.
Speaker 8 (13:51):
And a senator ship said, as senator said, Donald Trump,
you have poked the bear, and we will punch back.
Here's the good thing about California, folks, with the size
of twenty one state populations combined, we're the fourth largest
economy in the world.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
We are not a small isolated state. I know they say,
don't mess with Texas. Well, don't mess with the great
Golden State. And so we're here with our state of mind,
with the clarity of our purpose and conviction to recognize
that we need to reconcile the world we're living and
(14:29):
we do have agency. We are not by standards in
this world. We can shape the future, and that's what
we intend to do today. We're here because Donald Trump
on January sixth tried to light democracy on fire, tried
to wreck this country, tried to steal an election, as
Alex just said, by trying to dial in for eleven
(14:49):
almost twelve thousand votes. And here we are an open
and plain sight before one vote is cast in the
twenty twenty six midterm election. And here he is once
again trying to rig of a system he doesn't play
by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in
the rules.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
A second, Trump has no control over congressional districts and
how the lines are drawn done. Each state has control itself.
In twenty ten, voters said we want an independent panel
to draw the lines. There's a referendum. It won with
(15:27):
sixty one percent support. Trump cannot undo that, nor can
he affect the Texas vote. This is Gavin Newsom coming
up with this redistricting idea. He's going to sign the
bill that the legislature will pass to put this on
(15:49):
the ballot, and then he'll spend millions of dollars on
a campaign to try to emotionally manipulate Democratic voters, getting
him whipped up into a wroth over Trump, so that Republicans,
independent voters who vote Republican, and others who might choose
(16:10):
a Republican congressman so they get their congressman drawn out
of their district. They're exed out with Gavin Newsom's new lines. Now,
Newsom has a lot of power here. Trump has zero
power here. Gee, you mean Newsom is lying and misleading people. Well,
(16:34):
when he carries on about California being the size of
the twenty one state's fourth largest economy, he did not
mention that we have the highest income tax, the highest
sales tax, the highest gas tax, the highest electricity rates
by a two to one margin, highest gas price is
(16:54):
by far, the highest unemployment rate, the highest poverty rate,
the most people on medical the most homeless people. He
mentioned any of that. It's a failed state. And he's
been the governor now for almost seven years. He's a
complete and utter failure. And the day he launches his
(17:14):
redistricting idea, political says it's wildly unpopular by two to one.
Big guy, rest by case there. But I am going
to read you his silly little tweets where he tries
to mock and imitate Trump as a good eight year
old would do.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
This is a very entertaining day so far, because already
Gavin Newsom had his rally to kick off his campaign
to redraw the congressional seats. His rally was interrupted somewhat
on the app because apparently from the stage of the
(18:00):
speakers started warning people that there were masked gunmen outside
who might arrest you. And turns out there was a
group of vice agents and they did arrest somebody, one
guy who was selling strawberries on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And you know, that diverted some of the attention. It's
made up.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
It's on set of headlines here and it's it's ice.
They were out there and they were creating their own ruckas,
got people all upset. Karen Bass came out of her
crypt and ran outside and she just we don't have
that clip, do we could you? We got to get
that one from Michael because we got to we gotta
save that.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Oh you have it.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah, you've got to hear this. I'm not play this
ten times today, Okay. So Karen Bass, uh hardly ever
came out in public in the Palisades over the last
seven months, hardly ever, and but one strawberry merchant gets
arrested on the sidewalk by ice and listener, why.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Would you do that? That is unbelievably disrespectful. It's a
provocative act. They're talking about disorder in Los Angeles and
they are the source of the disorder in Los Angeles.
Right now, this is just completely unacceptable. This is a administration,
this is a customs and border patrol that has gone amok.
(19:27):
This absolutely has to sup There was no danger here,
There was no need to detain anyone here, and there
was certainly no need to have a provocative ass right
here where the governor is having a threat company.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It's one guy, one guy selling strawberries, and that's what
happens to blows her top, completely loses control of emotions.
Didn't see that when the fire was blazing, did you now?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Well, she wasn't here. That's why here.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Going back to the stage, now, Newsome goes after Trump,
listen to this.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
It's not complicated.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
We're doing this in reaction to a president of the
United States that called a sitting governor of the state
of Texas and said find me five seats. We're doing
it in reaction to that act. We're doing it mindful
of our higher angels and better angels. We're doing it
mindful that we want to model better behavior, as we've
(20:25):
been doing for fifteen years in the state of California
with our independent redistrict and commission. But we cannot unilaterally disarm.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
We can't stand back a second. Fifteen years ago, what
was he doing? He was the was he the failed
bear or San Francisco?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, that's right, Yeah, he was the one who led
San Francisco into the toilet. Originally, that's when all the
homelessness and the public drug use started spinning out of control. Okay,
So in twenty ten, the public passed this reference him
that said they don't want the politicians in Sacramento drawing
(21:04):
the district lines anymore because everybody in Sacramentica they're all
a bunch of crooks, they are correct. Just sixty one
percent of the public said, we'll have an independent commission
draw the lines.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Now.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Still the Democrats got forty three out of fifty two seats,
but you know that's the way things go. So now
he wants Remember Trump may have called Greg Abbott, but
Trump has no power to force this redistricting in Texas.
Abbot's doing it, and nobody should be doing this stuff,
(21:41):
but he's doing it. And now Newsom wants to puff
his chest to be the big man. Well I'm going
to do it too. It's like, well, wait, wait a second.
We passed the referendum. It was sixty one to thirty nine.
Nobody wants you to do this, and in fact, the
poll this morning from Politico support for that panel has grown.
It was sixty one thirty nine fifteen years ago. Now
(22:03):
it's sixty four to thirty six. Nobody once knew him
doing this. Newsom saw this poll this morning and like everything,
he just decided to ignore it. The arrogance of this
man is astounding. The narcissism his chest breathtaking.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Now. He also dug up.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
He had Adam Shift there and he had Alex Padia
there that shift. Last I heard of him, he was
getting investigated from Morgan. He was getting investigated for mortgage fraud.
Alex Padilla was there. Last time I saw him. He
was faced down on the floor outside of Christinaha's press conference.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Was he standing upright for this or did.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
He was standing up right?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
He was standing up So they finally peeled him off
the floor.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yes, that's a heavy lift, all right, plake cut six
this padilla.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
And we're gonna do it together.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Because a wise governor that I know is fond of saying, if.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You want to go far, go alone.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Excuse me, you want to go fast, go alone. But
he's a stupid guy.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
He was trying to quote Newsom's favorite African proverb, if
you want to go fast, go alone.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
If you want to go smart, go together. Uh huh,
and he completely fumbled it.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
If you want to go far, go alone?
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Yeah, yeah, Newsome as a favorite African proverb.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Sure he does nice virtue signaling.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
That was Newsome's word. It's not mine, all right?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Then this this wacky uh, this is a former Union agon.
Who what she I think she's she's in state politics
now representative maybe or she might she's got I forget
what her latest role is, but I know she used
to be in the legislature, used to be a union shrieker.
Now I guess, I guess she's with the Union again.
(24:11):
She's telling Republican members of her union of why Trump
is a bad guy. Lorenda Gonzalez.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
Here they were told, even our Republican members that he
was for working people, that somehow he cared about bringing
manufacturing and jobs back to America and to make sure
that working people were taken care of. And what has
he done. He has systematically destroyed our federal government unions
by abolishing basically collective bargaining agreements that were decades in
(24:42):
the making. He has taken away the right to collectively
bargain of every employee he possibly can and.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
That should violation. Delete that.
Speaker 9 (24:55):
This is what happens when you're a wress conference. Yes,
missed up right before the show starts. Well, the people
on the stream will enjoy that, I hope. So the
last quote was he bleep and lied. You could fill
in your own bleep. That's Lourenda Gonzales. Now she said
(25:21):
that he you know, he screwed over.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Working people because he's dismantling government unions whatever. Government people
are not working people, all right, so stop it. They
do not qualify as working people if.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
You been to government offices. In fact, I think in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
About ninety of the workers never showed up for work
the last five years. So that's that's not a thing
government workers. Good lord, she's a crazy person. Now where
do I s I gotta take a break.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
I didn't even get to the tweetshet. All right, we'll
do the tweets first thing. Next segment here on Liberation
Day in California, because Gavin Newsom and his little eight
year old brain decided that he was going to mock
and imitate Donald Trump and he was officially kicking off
his campaign to redraw the districts here in the state,
(26:23):
even though the first major pull out says people don't
want it. Sixty four to thirty six people say no
to Gavin Newsom's redrawing the districts because they like that
there's an independent panel that draws those district lines. Nobody
wants Nobody wants Sacramento politicians, especially the Lions, thinking Gavin
(26:47):
Newsom to be doing this.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
We'll talk about it coming up.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
I'll read you some of his imitative, mocking, trolling Twitter comments.
Speaker 7 (26:59):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Oh mooistline vacancy is still available eight seven seven Moist
eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six or usually
talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. So Kevin Newsome decided
he was going to hold this big PEP rally press
conference in downtown LA and announce his redistricting fight to
(27:28):
take on Texas, to take on Trump.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
And he keeps mocking Texas.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
And I just checked Triple eight run state by state
gas prices, and right now California is at four point
fifty a gallon and Texas is at two seventy eight
a gallon. Imagine rowing up to a gas pump and
it's two seventy eight.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
You know, I heard yesterday too that.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Construction costs in Texas are one third of what they
are in California one third. And in both cases gas
and construction, it's because of excessive, absurd regulation by the
California government. That's why that's why you pay four point
fifty gallon and Texas pays two seventy and that's why
(28:22):
you pay three times as much for construction as they
do in Texas. All right, But other than that, it's
a real pleasure to live here. But Newsom decides that
he's going to key. He's not going to bring the
gas prices down to Texas levels. He's not going to
bring construction prices down to Texas levels by getting rid
of all this asenine regulation. He's going to go after
(28:44):
Donald Trump and try to out Trump Trump. He thinks
he's really funny by imitating and mocking Trump's tweets. So
today Newsom sent out a tweet says that says make
the maps great again. And he writes this in all
capital letters, just like Trump does. Get it big beautiful
(29:07):
rally today. Whoa, he's on a roll. Thank you for
your attention to this matter. It's funny stuff. It's really clever.
It's got another one here. As many know, Donald Taco Trump.
And if you're not a polytical geek, he probably doesn't.
You don't know what that means. It was a nickname
(29:30):
that they tried to hang on Trump briefly. Trump always
chickens out because Trump kept adjusting the tariff rates. Trump,
author of Art of the Deal, a book he should
return to the library, just missed the best deal in history.
He always chickens out tariffs China. I thought the criticism
(29:53):
where the tariffs are going to lead to big inflation.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Oh okay, whatever, But even a.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Chicken should know a good deal when he I your
favorite Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom. You see on that one,
he's mocking the way Trump always refers to himself as
Donald J.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Trump.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
So he decided Gavin Christopher news and at times he writes,
Gavin C. Newsom, get that joke, Okay, I your favorite governor.
Gavin Christopher Newsom offered the best, most amazing deal in history.
Stop rigging Texas maps in California won't make ours more beautiful. Sadly,
(30:31):
but no surprise, Donald was two weak little hands to
even write me back. That goes back to the twenty
fifteen debates twenty sixteen debates whoa no deal and no
deal equals perfect beautiful maps that will end his presidency soon.
(30:55):
He will not be forty seven Patriots will take back Congress.
Many say I should run for speaker. I won't make
the maps great again. Liberation Day tomorrow, Thank you, GCN.
I'm sure you're I bet to their cars pulled over
to the side of the road right now from people
doubled over laughing right because it's just so clever.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Let me see, is.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
He going to be performing at the improv anytime soon?
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Yeah, he's gonna read his tweets on stage. Plus it's
on it's all capital letters, just like Trump. Okay, so
you have to you have to envision this. You go
to the Gavin Newsom press office and you'll see how
cool it is. Oh and then another another, another one.
Gavin uh it says, Donnie j and Carol Lyon Levitt
(31:51):
will have their little hands full today again with the
little hands joke. I guess it was so good the
first time. I Gavin Christopher Newsom, America's favorite governor, many say,
will host the greatest press conference of all time. After that,
the maps will soon be released, very much anticipated history made.
(32:13):
The GOP's rigged game is over. The people retake Congress.
You're welcome America Liberation Day. That's what many are calling it.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. He just
keeps recycling the same jokes over and over. Gavin pulls
her out this morning. Sixty four percent of California don't
want to don't want the maps redrawn.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
So at least, well, you know.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
When Trump does things like shut down the border, that's
a real popular stand.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
At least it's something people want.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Nobody has ever given thirty seconds of thought to the
California redistricting maps. This is not a hot button issue.
This is like climate change. Nobody cares. People don't vote
on that stuff. This is this is this is like
what a twelve year old political geek would obsessed on.
(33:09):
All right, enough of him. When we come back. There's
there's still reverberations in Washington, d C. Since TRUMPA took
over the Washington d C. Police Department and it got
one government employee so enraged he committed a federal felony
(33:31):
by throwing a subway sandwich at I guess at federal
law enforcement. Uh, you're not going to believe this. I
wish there was a way I could show this to
you on video. We'll talk about it.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
We come back, and Deborah Mark's gone.
Speaker 2 (33:47):
