Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Coming up in a few minutes, we're going to talk
to the mayor of Elmonte, Jessica and Kona. There is
a story out about just hang on a second here,
as we were changing things by the second. There's a
(00:23):
story about the city manager of Elmonte. So you have
a mayor, they have a city manager. Woman's name is
Alma Martinez, and she pulled some kind of maneuver to
give herself a pay package worth four hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. This is to spike her pension, and a
(00:46):
local code enforcement officer blew the whistle, ed Rarden. He
filed complaints and it's become a news story now at
four hundred thirty thousand dollars. Now al Monty, that's an
LA County city on the east and east side of
the county, about one hundred and twenty thousand people. The
(01:09):
median household income is sixty five thousand dollars, and her
pay package four hundred and thirty thousand dollars despike her pension.
So that's Alma Martinez. The city manager. We're going to
talk to the mayor of that town, Jessica and Kona
to see what this is about, and that'll be coming
up in the next segment. One thing I want to
(01:32):
get to is the Alex Pretty story which caused all
that trouble up in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
What did I tell you the three day rule actually
in this case with what day was it?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, I guess it's like the five day rule here
or the sixth day rule. Alex Pretty was the guy
shot to death by Ice agents, and immediately the media
presented him as a martyr, as some kind of a saint.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Look, he's a nurse.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
He's a nurse, and I'm seeing pictures of Alex Pretty
helping elderly disabled patients doing probably some kind of physical rehab.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
He's a nurse and they shot him to death.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Then we find out, oh, the nurse had a loaded
gun in his waistband, and it seems like a cop
was pulling out the gun at the same time another
Ice agent was yelling gun. The gun went off, perhaps accidentally,
but the other Ice agents freaked out and a couple
(02:43):
started firing pumping bullets into Pretty.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Again.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Do an investigation see if police procedure was violated, a
criminal act occurred. But that's what the story was. It
wasn't an execution of Alex Pretty. He's bringing a loaded gun,
basically to a riot to take on federal law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
This is like Renee Good another martyr, right, but she's
a mother, yeah, who uses her car to block ICE
agents enforcing federal law. Okay, they put themselves in play.
They're not innocent people, now, mister ICU nurse here Alex Pretty.
(03:28):
Turns out he showed up eleven days earlier during a
protest on January thirteenth, And here's what happened. And it's
on video, and the BBC got a hold of this
video and they verified Preddy's identity.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
He was angry.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
At the ICE agents and he kicked the back of
their car and smashed their tailight, their tail light.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Not only that, he bit at the ICE officers.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
H so you spin at the Ice officers, you kick
and smashed the tail light of their suv. They jumped
out and took them to the ground. Five agents. Of course,
the crowd is screaming. They're blowing those stupid whistles like
they were six years old. There was a big confrontation.
(04:24):
But Pretty is not this innocent naive I see you, nurse.
He's a crazy person, and crazy people who bring loaded
guns to interfere with law enforcement. Yeah, sometimes it'll go bad.
Well that's the dice you rolled. I'm gonna play a
(04:48):
little audio of it of him kicking the tail light
outb stupid horns, whistles, Alex Pretty having a temper tantrum
(05:15):
that would put a three year old to shame. Huh
uh kick the tail out out?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You spit at the guy. Yeah, you showed him, Yeah,
you showed him. It's the gun.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Though he's carrying the gun at the time too, but
the Ice agents didn't notice it, otherwise they might have
shot him dead that day. No sympathy for these people. Sorry,
put yourself in play like that. You resist federal law enforcement,
you're you're I mean, how many felonies did he commit there?
He damaged federal property, kicking into the SUV, spit at
(05:50):
a federal officer, law enforcement officer, and was carrying a
gun while doing it, which is another set of charges. No, No,
he's an icy nurse. Look at him helping this old
man try to learn how to walk again. Good lord,
all right, we come back. Jessica and Conna is gonna
come on. He's she's the mayor of el Monty. The
(06:13):
city manager of el Monty has been revealed in a
big scandal here giving herself a new pay package worth
four hundred and thirty thousand dollars. You know this, This
spike's her pay. I assume it spikes her spikes her
her pension as well. What's going on here? Well, the
(06:39):
mayor is going to talk about it. We come back.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All right, now we're gonna talk to the mayor of
El Monty, which is a city of one hundred and
twenty thousand people near Los Angeles. Jessica and ConA And
turns out the city manager, they have a mayor and
they have a city manager, Alma Martinez, somehow arranged some
(07:10):
kind of deal so that her pay package would be
spiked to four hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Now, the
median household income in Almonte is sixty five thousand, so
she's making about seven times as much as the average
as the median household. Got all kinds of perks, car loans,
(07:34):
severance package fifty thousand in backpack. Let's get Jessica and
ConA on to see what happened here. Jessica, how are you?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I'm good? John, how are you?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I'm good? What's with your city manager? I'm sure you
know her pretty well. How'd this happen?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Well, that's a great question. As you know, when the
original contract was being negotiated, a special medium was called.
Who To this day, I haven't really gotten down to
the truth of who called it because it requires either
four council members, the city manager, or the mayor to
call it called this meeting. While I know, I didn't
(08:13):
call a special meeting to negotiate her contract, and when
I reached out to three of my council colleagues, they
didn't call a meeting either, So you know, the meeting
was called. I was not available, and they decided to
move forward with this negotiation.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
So the city council approved this package.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yes, they did, all but me.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Twenty five percent increase in her base salary, car allowance,
education allowance, lifetime medical benefits, repayment of a salary reduction
from COVID eighteen months severance, and I guarantee that she's
going to make at least twenty percent more than any
other city executive I guess, including you.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Huh, yes, Well, I mean I believe my pay is
reflective with of just doing God's work. It's more volunteer
work I probably get. You know, I get about one
thousand dollars stipend a month minus taxism'.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's your pay, is mayor is a thousand dollars stipend?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Correct? Well, I had this woman wind up with four
hundred and thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
She's like a lottery ticket she got, you.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Know, I know, and you know part of the things
that you know has been concerning is that when when
I stated that I wasn't available for this meeting special meeting,
I had been the longest certain council member and had
negotiated her contract at least three times. So when the
council decided to move forward without my you know, my knowledge,
(09:40):
my expertise and negotiating this contract, you know, I sounded
the alarm. I put out communications to my community via
social media, via email, and you know the deals of
her agreement were agreed upon at that special meeting, and
the reason why they you know, I believe it was
(10:01):
done this way because they had already posted the regular
agenda meeting for Wednesday, May fourteen. This happened back in May,
and on May twelfth, the deal points were finalized. So
by doing that, her contract was not posted with the
rare agenda for the community to see. It was I
(10:23):
believe intentionally left off so that the community wouldn't see
beforehand what was in her deals, And so the community
didn't find out until Wednesday afternoon when I got information
on the deal points, and when it finally became public.
And even then we probably had about twenty members of
the community show up. We had numerous emails come through,
(10:45):
everyone objecting to this outrageous salary.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh yeah, this is this is just stealing people's tax money.
This is not why people pay taxes, so that one
public official can walk away with a fortune. And another
thing here, this could be even more costly. Apparently her
her partner boyfriend runs a trash haller named Valley Vista Services.
(11:13):
Thirty million dollar contract was extended in the middle of
the old contract with no explanation, no competitive bidding.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What's that about, correct?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Correct John? And so it's actually not a thirty million
dollar contract. It's a two hundred million dollar contract.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Whoa two hundred million dollar contract? Okay, they're thirty million
in the in the New California Post.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, yeah, they need to correct that.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, why is this allowed?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
What way the city manager is living with a guy
who runs a trash haller and he secures a two
hundred million dollar contract. I mean, that's that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
It absolutely is. And this was another deal that they
did on a special within a special meeting, and they
moved a meeting date to the end of July when
they are already knew that I would be out of
the country on vacation, so they moved forward with this
contract knowing that I wouldn't be there, and it just
(12:09):
happened that, you know, the city manager was not available
for that meeting either. The chief of Police was the
acting city manager for that meeting to approve that contract.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
All right, what are the other.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
City council people getting in return for being so generous
to this woman, Alma Martinez? What what's in it for them?
Why are they giving why? Why aren't they like taking
the money from themselves at least? Why would they give
it away to her?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
That's a million dollar question. I think that's a question
for them, and and that's a question that our community
wants to know. Why are we giving out these these
large contracts, very generous contracts, you know, so so freely
and openly. This trash contract was approved four years before
it was even said to expire.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Now, I know you every a lot of these small cities.
They have mayors who don't necessarily have a lot of
power the structure of your town. What can you do
about this?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
All I can do is continue to inform my community.
I pride myself as being, you know, one of the
biggest watchdogs and how we're spending our money. And you know,
I is concerned a seventy thousand dollars twenty five percent
increase in one employees, our rank and file, you know,
(13:33):
our public works folks, our police they received a five
percent increase that year. And to turn around and give
our city manager a twenty five percent increase, I believe
it was a slap in the face to every employee
that works in our city.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, it's terrible, It's absolutely awful. Do you think who
can investigate this, who can change this?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Well, you know, we're we're hoping you know, maybe some
law enforcement officials are taking a closer look at our city.
At least I know I am all right.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Well, thank you for coming on, and if there's any
more to this that you can inform the world on
our show, we want to have you on again because
everybody hates this stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Everybody does.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I'd be happy to come on anytime. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
And everybody went on and wants to know how this
stuff happens. All right, it's Jessica and COONa, the mayor
of Elmonte, whose city manager mysteriously got a huge deal
with the city council and nobody knows how. Four hundred
and thirty thousand dollars. Again, the average household income in
Elmonty is sixty five thousand. When we come back, we've
(14:43):
got some great Tom Homan audio to play for you,
because Holman has planted himself in Minneapolis and he's not
going to be leaving for a good long time till
everything settles down and he's we played you yesterday. A
Ranti di back in September how he was sick of
the hypocrisy of the Democrats and the media who come
(15:07):
down on a case like the shooting in Minneapolis but
never have a word to say about the hundreds and
thousands of victims of illegal aliens from those crimes over
the years.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
A six forty ron every day from one until four
after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on Demand, which is
the podcast version of the radio show, and we will
have that podcast released just after four o'clock. Our number one.
We let two former Los Angeles Fire Department officials do
(15:44):
the talking. These two officials, Patrick Butler and Rick Crawford,
served the LA Fire Department for decades. They rose to
very high positions, and they testified yesterday in Washington, d c.
A Senate hearing run by a Florida Senator and a
Wisconsin Senator because the California senators don't care to find
(16:04):
out the truth about how the response to the fire
was so badly screwed up and turned so deadly and destructive.
And Patrick Butler and Rick Crawford told the truth and
laid it on the leadership, and that is Karen Bass,
the fire chief at the time, Kristin Crowley, and the
myriad of ways that they screwed up. You should hear
(16:27):
all those clips that we played of Patrick Butler and
Rick Crawford. This is the definitive, the definitive analysis of
what happened. And they said this was entirely preventable, this disaster,
this tragedy. Had fire officials just done their job and
made the proper decisions, followed the protocol, exhibited leadership, and
(16:48):
they did none of those things. In the next segment,
I'm going to play you a post from someone named
Jay Michael Waller who years and years ago was one
of these street pro testers back in the nineteen seventies,
and he says he knows exactly what's going on. This
is all choreographed and paid for by outside agitator groups,
(17:13):
and these protesters literally have gone to school to learn
the tactics. This is not a spontaneous reaction of the
local population. These are subversive groups who are intent on
undermining the rule of law here in this country. So
we'll get to that in the next segment. Right right now,
(17:34):
I played the I played the audio from the Alex Pretty.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Situation.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
He's the guy who got shot to death on the
twenty fourth of January, but on the thirteenth video captured him.
Why'd you play that audio part again and pretty was
having a huge angry fit in the middle of the street.
He was angry the ICE officers and he kicked the
tail out of a car in he spit on one officer
(18:03):
and this is what it sounded like. And this is
he had his gun on him too. He's loaded gun.
(18:24):
But in this case he should have been arrested and
charged with a bunch of felonies, but they either didn't
see his gun or decided to let him just ignore
his tantrum. And of course, eleven days later he gets
involved in another protest that got violent and he got killed.
Now this has led to Tom Holman being flown in
(18:45):
to take over the operation. He's normally the border czar
and now he's going to run the Minneapolis operation for
a time. And it looks like they have struck a deal.
They had Trumpet sent in an extra three thousand immigration
agents and related officers. And I think that was triggered
by all the Somali fraud. They wanted to clean out
(19:06):
Minneapolis and good and you know about this unleashed all
these subversive groups who interfere with ICE operations. And one
of the things, one of the sticking points because it's
their sanctuary city, a sanctuary state. ICE could never get
(19:27):
at the jails and the prisons where a lot of
criminals are being held either they've been sentenced to their
awaiting trial. And Homan has now gotten a deal that
ICE will be told when there is a prisoner available
for release, so ICE can then grab them and deport them.
So there has been a concession made from the Governor
(19:50):
Tim Watts, the Attorney General, Keith Ellison, mayor Jacob Fry. Yes,
ICE agents can come into the jails and prisons and
take the goal aliens who are no longer going to
be imprisoned, and so that's huge. In return, Homan is
going to be drawing down the number of ICE agents
in the area. One reason you have to have so
(20:11):
many of them is because they let the criminals out
instead of turning them over to ICE peacefully. So now
they're out loose in the neighborhoods and you need a
lot of ICE personnel just to get one guy. And
these are really bad guys with bad criminal records, violent
(20:31):
criminal records. But everyone else is on the table as well.
And Homan has reiterated that it's like, look, if you're
here illegally and we somehow discover you, you're going to
go too. I mean by now everybody should have gotten
the message. If you're here illegally, it's probably best to
go back home, because if for some reason we stumble
across you, you're gone. So not only is it difficult
(20:52):
to track down and chase a criminal once he's embedded
himself back in the neighborhood, you have now all these
interfere agitator protester guys, which means you need more ICE agents.
So they're trying to cut a deal. It's like, you
want less ICE agents, give us the criminals up front,
and so we won't have to do these sweeps in
the neighborhood, which will lessen the crowds forming and listen,
(21:15):
a need to have so many agitators and Home is
also sick of the hypocrisy. I'm going to play you
a clip here about Home and saying, hey, everybody knew
the border was wide open and that this stuff was
going to happen.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Play cut fourteen on the start of this four years
of an open border, what it means that people are
in this country underletted. Remember, let's not forget for four
years we're told the board secure. Four years, we're told
the boards secure, and we all knew it wasn't and
I wanted this to be a positive thing we're doing
(21:49):
here today. I also want to remember the politicians are
continuing to attacking us. Where were they in the last
four years when mumber of women children sex trafficking went
on time high? Where were they when a quarter million
Americans died from Vatanhyle coming across the border. Where were
they when women and children are dying making that journey?
Where were they were? Were five for fourth, over four
(22:11):
thousand amilies making that journey died, historic record? Where were they?
Not a word? Now, we're just trying to respond to
what happened last four years and keeping this country safe
and where arrested in a lot of public safety thrusts,
take them off the streets. Was make this country safer?
Prison Trunk Prounce, make this country safe again? And that's
what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's a it's a bizarre world. They don't care about
the deaths of the victims of the criminals. They don't
care about the deaths victims of fentanyl. They don't care
about the deaths of the immigrants themselves coming over the border. Uh,
and all the all the rape and the suffering that
the women and children go through. They don't care. Then
they lied about the open border for four years, which
(22:54):
of course is going to lead to this situation when
you finally try to enforce the law and here's home
and saying you beg for two months for politicians to
stop all this crazy rhetoric egging these people on.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I begged for the last two months on TV for
the writers to stop. I said in March. If the
rhetoric didn't stop, where it's going to be bloodshed, and
there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't
want to see anybody die, not officers, not members of
the community, and not the targets of our operations. For
(23:28):
the people out there. Don't like what I was doing,
If you want certain laws reformed, and take it up
with Congress again, Ice is making this up there enforcing
laws and acted by Congress and signed by President. The
same laws have been on the books for the last
six presidents I worked for. I started with the President
Reagan and ending with President Trump. Every administration we enforced
(23:51):
the same laws. If you don't like what I was
doing instead of protesting this building to protest Congress. Somebody
want changes. Do you have your First Amendment rights? I
support that you have the right to protest. I'm just
asking to keep it peaceful. But thriving on law enforcement officers,
engaging and impeding and obstruction and soul is never okay.
(24:13):
And they'll be zero tolerance. You interfere, imped assault and
ICE officers, you will be arrested.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
They're still going to keep removing illegal aliens. They're still
going to have their primary focus be criminal illegal aliens.
Nobody's going to stop ICE from enforcing federal law. That's
their job. And you notice they don't protest Congress. They
don't loby Congress because they don't really care about changing
the laws. What they want to do is create chaos
in the streets. They want some of their own protesters
(24:42):
to die. You are told you got to put your
lives on the line. They're expecting some of their protesters
to die. That's what they want. It gives them martyrs,
and it fuels the cause because what they're trying to
do is undermine law in this country, to undermine our
peace and tranquility and stability. That's the purpose change immigration law.
The immigrants are just a tool here. They don't care
(25:03):
about these immigrants, Like I said, they're dying in any
number of ways. What they care about is destroying our
way of life. That's their purpose. When we come back,
I'm going to read you this post by a guy
who went through protests training back in the nineteen seventies
and he recognizes what's going on in the street here
(25:25):
in the twenty twenties.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We are on here one to four every day and
Moistline is eight seven seven moist eighty six eight seven
seven moist eaighty.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Six or usual.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The talk back feature tomorrow is Moistline Friday. We still
have openings. If you want to submit to your your
ranting and raving, you better do it right now. The
window is going to close three o'clock. Now we're having
Alex Stone come on to talk about ice in Santa
Clara's side of the suit Super Bowl. They're going to
(26:01):
be part of the security procedures up in around Levi Stadium,
and uh, you know, if they find illegal aliens up there,
it's not good, not good for them. I don't know
what it takes to get the message across Trump. Trump's
not going to stop. I mean, his supporters are not
(26:22):
going to put up with a retreat. So there's there's
They may they may change their strategy. Uh, they may
change their tactics. They are not going to change their goal.
This is really important for you to understand. I have
been We've been talking about this for years. Most of
the protests you see are fake protests. They're they're organized,
(26:44):
they're paid protesters, they're professional agitators. They're financed by wealthy
people and wealthy nonprofit organizations. Uh, and they're just there
to create trouble.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's often the same people showing up at protests week
after week, month after month. The subject of the protest changes,
the faces don't change.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
It's their job.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
So J.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Michael Waller was trained as a teenager, he says, back
in the nineteen seventies, by professional organizers, and he posted
this on X Today. He said these organizers trained him
to do the stupid protest stuff like vandalism, destroying property,
and creating provocations, to get stumped, to get stomped and
(27:35):
clubbed by National guardsmen. For the News cameras to turn
people against the authorities. Now we're talking about roughly fifty
plus years ago, so this guy would be in his
seventies now, age seventy plus. He's talking about the nineteen
seventies vandalism, destroying property, creating provocations in order that the
(28:01):
National Guard would beat them up, and then the TV
cameras would get the public to turn against the ruling class.
He says, we, meaning the teenagers, thought it was a
fun adventure and we enjoyed being part of an edgy
struggle in what we had been led to believe was
a righteous cause. In my case, it was anti nuclear activism.
(28:24):
Those who knew what they were doing never put themselves
in danger. They trained and set up the rest of
us as dupes to face the consequences that would be
alex pretty, that would be renee good. About eighty percent
of us were dupes. They used us to create outrage imagery,
(28:45):
used our shouts and chants to intimidate political figures in
the public. They used us to provoke situations that would
turn the public against the police and the National Guard.
We were just all American high school kids, harmless, idealistic,
innocent looking. It was all engine near to anger, a
SI up against the public and against ourselves. When I
realized the cause wasn't about the cause, but it was
(29:07):
about a Communist revolution against our country, I broke ranks
and spent the rest of my life fighting them. I
was sixteen years old at the time. Luckily I hadn't
gotten involved in any destruction or violence, but I had
learned enough to infiltrate and disrupt the movement until I
was well into my twenties. From that experience, I went
on to infiltrate Communist guerrilla front groups, Soviet International front
(29:31):
groups and disrupted their multimillion dollar operations. And this time
he did it for the country, and he used the
enemy's tactics against them. Most of the rest remained dupes.
And that was fifty years ago. The Minneapolis insurgency is
nothing new. It's been evolving for decades. We're fine to
an art form. What about the twenty percent were not dupes.
(29:53):
They knew exactly what they were doing. And that's the
truth from J. Michael Wawer who posted this online.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
He said.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
The other twenty percent, they had supported Fidel Castro, the
weather underground, they supported the Viet Cong and the North
Vietnamese communists, and many of these old protesters from the
seventies are still around. Some are sharp and militant. Others
are the geriatrics you see with their No King's signs,
(30:28):
hauling out their grandchildren or other people's grandchildren to train
them as the fourth or fifth generation of militants. And
many of them are still dupes. And that is the
truth from a guy who was there and it's been
involved with that all his life. All Right, we come back.
Alex Stone be interesting up in Santa Clara for the
(30:48):
Super Bowl because Ice is going to be there and
they might be doing some deporting so they might get
protest groups there. Deborah Mark is live They Can't Fight
twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to The
John Covelt showpt 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.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Coming up in a few minutes, we're going to talk
to the mayor of Elmonte, Jessica and Kona. There is
a story out about just hang on a second here,
as we were changing things by the second. There's a
(00:23):
story about the city manager of Elmonte. So you have
a mayor, they have a city manager. Woman's name is
Alma Martinez, and she pulled some kind of maneuver to
give herself a pay package worth four hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. This is to spike her pension, and a
(00:46):
local code enforcement officer blew the whistle, ed Rarden. He
filed complaints and it's become a news story now at
four hundred thirty thousand dollars. Now al Monty, that's an
LA County city on the east and east side of
the county, about one hundred and twenty thousand people. The
(01:09):
median household income is sixty five thousand dollars, and her
pay package four hundred and thirty thousand dollars despike her pension.
So that's Alma Martinez. The city manager. We're going to
talk to the mayor of that town, Jessica and Kona
to see what this is about, and that'll be coming
up in the next segment. One thing I want to
(01:32):
get to is the Alex Pretty story which caused all
that trouble up in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
What did I tell you the three day rule actually
in this case with what day was it?
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Well, I guess it's like the five day rule here
or the sixth day rule. Alex Pretty was the guy
shot to death by Ice agents, and immediately the media
presented him as a martyr, as some kind of a saint.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Look, he's a nurse.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
He's a nurse, and I'm seeing pictures of Alex Pretty
helping elderly disabled patients doing probably some kind of physical rehab.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
He's a nurse and they shot him to death.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Then we find out, oh, the nurse had a loaded
gun in his waistband, and it seems like a cop
was pulling out the gun at the same time another
Ice agent was yelling gun. The gun went off, perhaps accidentally,
but the other Ice agents freaked out and a couple
(02:43):
started firing pumping bullets into Pretty.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Again.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Do an investigation see if police procedure was violated, a
criminal act occurred. But that's what the story was. It
wasn't an execution of Alex Pretty. He's bringing a loaded gun,
basically to a riot to take on federal law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What could go wrong?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
This is like Renee Good another martyr, right, but she's
a mother, yeah, who uses her car to block ICE
agents enforcing federal law. Okay, they put themselves in play.
They're not innocent people, now, mister ICU nurse here Alex Pretty.
(03:28):
Turns out he showed up eleven days earlier during a
protest on January thirteenth, And here's what happened. And it's
on video, and the BBC got a hold of this
video and they verified Preddy's identity.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
He was angry.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
At the ICE agents and he kicked the back of
their car and smashed their tailight, their tail light.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Not only that, he bit at the ICE officers.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
H so you spin at the Ice officers, you kick
and smashed the tail light of their suv. They jumped
out and took them to the ground. Five agents. Of course,
the crowd is screaming. They're blowing those stupid whistles like
they were six years old. There was a big confrontation.
(04:24):
But Pretty is not this innocent naive I see you, nurse.
He's a crazy person, and crazy people who bring loaded
guns to interfere with law enforcement. Yeah, sometimes it'll go bad.
Well that's the dice you rolled. I'm gonna play a
(04:48):
little audio of it of him kicking the tail light
outb stupid horns, whistles, Alex Pretty having a temper tantrum
(05:15):
that would put a three year old to shame. Huh
uh kick the tail out out?
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You spit at the guy. Yeah, you showed him, Yeah,
you showed him. It's the gun.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Though he's carrying the gun at the time too, but
the Ice agents didn't notice it, otherwise they might have
shot him dead that day. No sympathy for these people. Sorry,
put yourself in play like that. You resist federal law enforcement,
you're you're I mean, how many felonies did he commit there?
He damaged federal property, kicking into the SUV, spit at
(05:50):
a federal officer, law enforcement officer, and was carrying a
gun while doing it, which is another set of charges. No, No,
he's an icy nurse. Look at him helping this old
man try to learn how to walk again. Good lord,
all right, we come back. Jessica and Conna is gonna
come on. He's she's the mayor of el Monty. The
(06:13):
city manager of el Monty has been revealed in a
big scandal here giving herself a new pay package worth
four hundred and thirty thousand dollars. You know this, This
spike's her pay. I assume it spikes her spikes her
her pension as well. What's going on here? Well, the
(06:39):
mayor is going to talk about it. We come back.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
All right, now we're gonna talk to the mayor of
El Monty, which is a city of one hundred and
twenty thousand people near Los Angeles. Jessica and ConA And
turns out the city manager, they have a mayor and
they have a city manager, Alma Martinez, somehow arranged some
(07:10):
kind of deal so that her pay package would be
spiked to four hundred and thirty thousand dollars. Now, the
median household income in Almonte is sixty five thousand, so
she's making about seven times as much as the average
as the median household. Got all kinds of perks, car loans,
(07:34):
severance package fifty thousand in backpack. Let's get Jessica and
ConA on to see what happened here. Jessica, how are you?
Speaker 4 (07:41):
I'm good? John, how are you?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I'm good? What's with your city manager? I'm sure you
know her pretty well. How'd this happen?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Well, that's a great question. As you know, when the
original contract was being negotiated, a special medium was called.
Who To this day, I haven't really gotten down to
the truth of who called it because it requires either
four council members, the city manager, or the mayor to
call it called this meeting. While I know, I didn't
(08:13):
call a special meeting to negotiate her contract, and when
I reached out to three of my council colleagues, they
didn't call a meeting either, So you know, the meeting
was called. I was not available, and they decided to
move forward with this negotiation.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
So the city council approved this package.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Yes, they did, all but me.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Twenty five percent increase in her base salary, car allowance,
education allowance, lifetime medical benefits, repayment of a salary reduction
from COVID eighteen months severance, and I guarantee that she's
going to make at least twenty percent more than any
other city executive I guess, including you.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Huh, yes, Well, I mean I believe my pay is
reflective with of just doing God's work. It's more volunteer
work I probably get. You know, I get about one
thousand dollars stipend a month minus taxism'.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That's your pay, is mayor is a thousand dollars stipend?
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Correct? Well, I had this woman wind up with four
hundred and thirty thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
She's like a lottery ticket she got, you.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Know, I know, and you know part of the things
that you know has been concerning is that when when
I stated that I wasn't available for this meeting special meeting,
I had been the longest certain council member and had
negotiated her contract at least three times. So when the
council decided to move forward without my you know, my knowledge,
(09:40):
my expertise and negotiating this contract, you know, I sounded
the alarm. I put out communications to my community via
social media, via email, and you know the deals of
her agreement were agreed upon at that special meeting, and
the reason why they you know, I believe it was
(10:01):
done this way because they had already posted the regular
agenda meeting for Wednesday, May fourteen. This happened back in May,
and on May twelfth, the deal points were finalized. So
by doing that, her contract was not posted with the
rare agenda for the community to see. It was I
(10:23):
believe intentionally left off so that the community wouldn't see
beforehand what was in her deals, And so the community
didn't find out until Wednesday afternoon when I got information
on the deal points, and when it finally became public.
And even then we probably had about twenty members of
the community show up. We had numerous emails come through,
(10:45):
everyone objecting to this outrageous salary.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Oh yeah, this is this is just stealing people's tax money.
This is not why people pay taxes, so that one
public official can walk away with a fortune. And another
thing here, this could be even more costly. Apparently her
her partner boyfriend runs a trash haller named Valley Vista Services.
(11:13):
Thirty million dollar contract was extended in the middle of
the old contract with no explanation, no competitive bidding.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
What's that about, correct?
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Correct John? And so it's actually not a thirty million
dollar contract. It's a two hundred million dollar contract.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Whoa two hundred million dollar contract? Okay, they're thirty million
in the in the New California Post.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Yeah, yeah, they need to correct that.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, why is this allowed?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
What way the city manager is living with a guy
who runs a trash haller and he secures a two
hundred million dollar contract. I mean, that's that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
It absolutely is. And this was another deal that they
did on a special within a special meeting, and they
moved a meeting date to the end of July when
they are already knew that I would be out of
the country on vacation, so they moved forward with this
contract knowing that I wouldn't be there, and it just
(12:09):
happened that, you know, the city manager was not available
for that meeting either. The chief of Police was the
acting city manager for that meeting to approve that contract.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
All right, what are the other.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
City council people getting in return for being so generous
to this woman, Alma Martinez? What what's in it for them?
Why are they giving why? Why aren't they like taking
the money from themselves at least? Why would they give
it away to her?
Speaker 4 (12:34):
That's a million dollar question. I think that's a question
for them, and and that's a question that our community
wants to know. Why are we giving out these these
large contracts, very generous contracts, you know, so so freely
and openly. This trash contract was approved four years before
it was even said to expire.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Now, I know you every a lot of these small cities.
They have mayors who don't necessarily have a lot of
power the structure of your town. What can you do
about this?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
All I can do is continue to inform my community.
I pride myself as being, you know, one of the
biggest watchdogs and how we're spending our money. And you know,
I is concerned a seventy thousand dollars twenty five percent
increase in one employees, our rank and file, you know,
(13:33):
our public works folks, our police they received a five
percent increase that year. And to turn around and give
our city manager a twenty five percent increase, I believe
it was a slap in the face to every employee
that works in our city.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Oh, it's terrible, It's absolutely awful. Do you think who
can investigate this, who can change this?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Well, you know, we're we're hoping you know, maybe some
law enforcement officials are taking a closer look at our city.
At least I know I am all right.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Well, thank you for coming on, and if there's any
more to this that you can inform the world on
our show, we want to have you on again because
everybody hates this stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Everybody does.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
I'd be happy to come on anytime. Thank you.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
And everybody went on and wants to know how this
stuff happens. All right, it's Jessica and COONa, the mayor
of Elmonte, whose city manager mysteriously got a huge deal
with the city council and nobody knows how. Four hundred
and thirty thousand dollars. Again, the average household income in
Elmonty is sixty five thousand. When we come back, we've
(14:43):
got some great Tom Homan audio to play for you,
because Holman has planted himself in Minneapolis and he's not
going to be leaving for a good long time till
everything settles down and he's we played you yesterday. A
Ranti di back in September how he was sick of
the hypocrisy of the Democrats and the media who come
(15:07):
down on a case like the shooting in Minneapolis but
never have a word to say about the hundreds and
thousands of victims of illegal aliens from those crimes over
the years.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
A six forty ron every day from one until four
after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on Demand, which is
the podcast version of the radio show, and we will
have that podcast released just after four o'clock. Our number one.
We let two former Los Angeles Fire Department officials do
(15:44):
the talking. These two officials, Patrick Butler and Rick Crawford,
served the LA Fire Department for decades. They rose to
very high positions, and they testified yesterday in Washington, d c.
A Senate hearing run by a Florida Senator and a
Wisconsin Senator because the California senators don't care to find
(16:04):
out the truth about how the response to the fire
was so badly screwed up and turned so deadly and destructive.
And Patrick Butler and Rick Crawford told the truth and
laid it on the leadership, and that is Karen Bass,
the fire chief at the time, Kristin Crowley, and the
myriad of ways that they screwed up. You should hear
(16:27):
all those clips that we played of Patrick Butler and
Rick Crawford. This is the definitive, the definitive analysis of
what happened. And they said this was entirely preventable, this disaster,
this tragedy. Had fire officials just done their job and
made the proper decisions, followed the protocol, exhibited leadership, and
(16:48):
they did none of those things. In the next segment,
I'm going to play you a post from someone named
Jay Michael Waller who years and years ago was one
of these street pro testers back in the nineteen seventies,
and he says he knows exactly what's going on. This
is all choreographed and paid for by outside agitator groups,
(17:13):
and these protesters literally have gone to school to learn
the tactics. This is not a spontaneous reaction of the
local population. These are subversive groups who are intent on
undermining the rule of law here in this country. So
we'll get to that in the next segment. Right right now,
(17:34):
I played the I played the audio from the Alex Pretty.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Situation.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
He's the guy who got shot to death on the
twenty fourth of January, but on the thirteenth video captured him.
Why'd you play that audio part again and pretty was
having a huge angry fit in the middle of the street.
He was angry the ICE officers and he kicked the
tail out of a car in he spit on one officer
(18:03):
and this is what it sounded like. And this is
he had his gun on him too. He's loaded gun.
(18:24):
But in this case he should have been arrested and
charged with a bunch of felonies, but they either didn't
see his gun or decided to let him just ignore
his tantrum. And of course, eleven days later he gets
involved in another protest that got violent and he got killed.
Now this has led to Tom Holman being flown in
(18:45):
to take over the operation. He's normally the border czar
and now he's going to run the Minneapolis operation for
a time. And it looks like they have struck a deal.
They had Trumpet sent in an extra three thousand immigration
agents and related officers. And I think that was triggered
by all the Somali fraud. They wanted to clean out
(19:06):
Minneapolis and good and you know about this unleashed all
these subversive groups who interfere with ICE operations. And one
of the things, one of the sticking points because it's
their sanctuary city, a sanctuary state. ICE could never get
(19:27):
at the jails and the prisons where a lot of
criminals are being held either they've been sentenced to their
awaiting trial. And Homan has now gotten a deal that
ICE will be told when there is a prisoner available
for release, so ICE can then grab them and deport them.
So there has been a concession made from the Governor
(19:50):
Tim Watts, the Attorney General, Keith Ellison, mayor Jacob Fry. Yes,
ICE agents can come into the jails and prisons and
take the goal aliens who are no longer going to
be imprisoned, and so that's huge. In return, Homan is
going to be drawing down the number of ICE agents
in the area. One reason you have to have so
(20:11):
many of them is because they let the criminals out
instead of turning them over to ICE peacefully. So now
they're out loose in the neighborhoods and you need a
lot of ICE personnel just to get one guy. And
these are really bad guys with bad criminal records, violent
(20:31):
criminal records. But everyone else is on the table as well.
And Homan has reiterated that it's like, look, if you're
here illegally and we somehow discover you, you're going to
go too. I mean by now everybody should have gotten
the message. If you're here illegally, it's probably best to
go back home, because if for some reason we stumble
across you, you're gone. So not only is it difficult
(20:52):
to track down and chase a criminal once he's embedded
himself back in the neighborhood, you have now all these
interfere agitator protester guys, which means you need more ICE agents.
So they're trying to cut a deal. It's like, you
want less ICE agents, give us the criminals up front,
and so we won't have to do these sweeps in
the neighborhood, which will lessen the crowds forming and listen,
(21:15):
a need to have so many agitators and Home is
also sick of the hypocrisy. I'm going to play you
a clip here about Home and saying, hey, everybody knew
the border was wide open and that this stuff was
going to happen.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Play cut fourteen on the start of this four years
of an open border, what it means that people are
in this country underletted. Remember, let's not forget for four
years we're told the board secure. Four years, we're told
the boards secure, and we all knew it wasn't and
I wanted this to be a positive thing we're doing
(21:49):
here today. I also want to remember the politicians are
continuing to attacking us. Where were they in the last
four years when mumber of women children sex trafficking went
on time high? Where were they when a quarter million
Americans died from Vatanhyle coming across the border. Where were
they when women and children are dying making that journey?
Where were they were? Were five for fourth, over four
(22:11):
thousand amilies making that journey died, historic record? Where were they?
Not a word? Now, we're just trying to respond to
what happened last four years and keeping this country safe
and where arrested in a lot of public safety thrusts,
take them off the streets. Was make this country safer?
Prison Trunk Prounce, make this country safe again? And that's
what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
It's a it's a bizarre world. They don't care about
the deaths of the victims of the criminals. They don't
care about the deaths victims of fentanyl. They don't care
about the deaths of the immigrants themselves coming over the border. Uh,
and all the all the rape and the suffering that
the women and children go through. They don't care. Then
they lied about the open border for four years, which
(22:54):
of course is going to lead to this situation when
you finally try to enforce the law and here's home
and saying you beg for two months for politicians to
stop all this crazy rhetoric egging these people on.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I begged for the last two months on TV for
the writers to stop. I said in March. If the
rhetoric didn't stop, where it's going to be bloodshed, and
there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't
want to see anybody die, not officers, not members of
the community, and not the targets of our operations. For
(23:28):
the people out there. Don't like what I was doing,
If you want certain laws reformed, and take it up
with Congress again, Ice is making this up there enforcing
laws and acted by Congress and signed by President. The
same laws have been on the books for the last
six presidents I worked for. I started with the President
Reagan and ending with President Trump. Every administration we enforced
(23:51):
the same laws. If you don't like what I was
doing instead of protesting this building to protest Congress. Somebody
want changes. Do you have your First Amendment rights? I
support that you have the right to protest. I'm just
asking to keep it peaceful. But thriving on law enforcement officers,
engaging and impeding and obstruction and soul is never okay.
(24:13):
And they'll be zero tolerance. You interfere, imped assault and
ICE officers, you will be arrested.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
They're still going to keep removing illegal aliens. They're still
going to have their primary focus be criminal illegal aliens.
Nobody's going to stop ICE from enforcing federal law. That's
their job. And you notice they don't protest Congress. They
don't loby Congress because they don't really care about changing
the laws. What they want to do is create chaos
in the streets. They want some of their own protesters
(24:42):
to die. You are told you got to put your
lives on the line. They're expecting some of their protesters
to die. That's what they want. It gives them martyrs,
and it fuels the cause because what they're trying to
do is undermine law in this country, to undermine our
peace and tranquility and stability. That's the purpose change immigration law.
The immigrants are just a tool here. They don't care
(25:03):
about these immigrants, Like I said, they're dying in any
number of ways. What they care about is destroying our
way of life. That's their purpose. When we come back,
I'm going to read you this post by a guy
who went through protests training back in the nineteen seventies
and he recognizes what's going on in the street here
(25:25):
in the twenty twenties.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
We are on here one to four every day and
Moistline is eight seven seven moist eighty six eight seven
seven moist eaighty.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Six or usual.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
The talk back feature tomorrow is Moistline Friday. We still
have openings. If you want to submit to your your
ranting and raving, you better do it right now. The
window is going to close three o'clock. Now we're having
Alex Stone come on to talk about ice in Santa
Clara's side of the suit Super Bowl. They're going to
(26:01):
be part of the security procedures up in around Levi Stadium,
and uh, you know, if they find illegal aliens up there,
it's not good, not good for them. I don't know
what it takes to get the message across Trump. Trump's
not going to stop. I mean, his supporters are not
(26:22):
going to put up with a retreat. So there's there's
They may they may change their strategy. Uh, they may
change their tactics. They are not going to change their goal.
This is really important for you to understand. I have
been We've been talking about this for years. Most of
the protests you see are fake protests. They're they're organized,
(26:44):
they're paid protesters, they're professional agitators. They're financed by wealthy
people and wealthy nonprofit organizations. Uh, and they're just there
to create trouble.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
It's often the same people showing up at protests week
after week, month after month. The subject of the protest changes,
the faces don't change.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
It's their job.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
So J.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Michael Waller was trained as a teenager, he says, back
in the nineteen seventies, by professional organizers, and he posted
this on X Today. He said these organizers trained him
to do the stupid protest stuff like vandalism, destroying property,
and creating provocations, to get stumped, to get stomped and
(27:35):
clubbed by National guardsmen. For the News cameras to turn
people against the authorities. Now we're talking about roughly fifty
plus years ago, so this guy would be in his
seventies now, age seventy plus. He's talking about the nineteen
seventies vandalism, destroying property, creating provocations in order that the
(28:01):
National Guard would beat them up, and then the TV
cameras would get the public to turn against the ruling class.
He says, we, meaning the teenagers, thought it was a
fun adventure and we enjoyed being part of an edgy
struggle in what we had been led to believe was
a righteous cause. In my case, it was anti nuclear activism.
(28:24):
Those who knew what they were doing never put themselves
in danger. They trained and set up the rest of
us as dupes to face the consequences that would be
alex pretty, that would be renee good. About eighty percent
of us were dupes. They used us to create outrage imagery,
(28:45):
used our shouts and chants to intimidate political figures in
the public. They used us to provoke situations that would
turn the public against the police and the National Guard.
We were just all American high school kids, harmless, idealistic,
innocent looking. It was all engine near to anger, a
SI up against the public and against ourselves. When I
realized the cause wasn't about the cause, but it was
(29:07):
about a Communist revolution against our country, I broke ranks
and spent the rest of my life fighting them. I
was sixteen years old at the time. Luckily I hadn't
gotten involved in any destruction or violence, but I had
learned enough to infiltrate and disrupt the movement until I
was well into my twenties. From that experience, I went
on to infiltrate Communist guerrilla front groups, Soviet International front
(29:31):
groups and disrupted their multimillion dollar operations. And this time
he did it for the country, and he used the
enemy's tactics against them. Most of the rest remained dupes.
And that was fifty years ago. The Minneapolis insurgency is
nothing new. It's been evolving for decades. We're fine to
an art form. What about the twenty percent were not dupes.
(29:53):
They knew exactly what they were doing. And that's the
truth from J. Michael Wawer who posted this online.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
He said.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
The other twenty percent, they had supported Fidel Castro, the
weather underground, they supported the Viet Cong and the North
Vietnamese communists, and many of these old protesters from the
seventies are still around. Some are sharp and militant. Others

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
