Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't f I am six forty. You're listening to the
John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Thanks for tuning in.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
A big story, a shake up, certainly a former West
Wing fixture, at least in the first Trump administration indebted
John Bolton now facing an indictment and a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Of people are talking about it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
What this means A Batya Ango Sargon is with News Nation,
host of Baya with an explanation point. Thanks so much
for spending time with us. Wow, I mean when we
start seeing indictments of former West Wing fixtures, it's very
close to the ovalalls.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Thank you so much for having me. It's such a
treat to be.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Here with you and your listeners. Yeah, this is a
really interesting development. A lot of things can be true
at the same time. Right on the one hand, we
definitely overclassify things. We have a problem to where the
government classifies a lot of things that are not actually
top secret. But when you look at the same that
John Bolton is accused of sharing. Now again he's innocident
(01:04):
until proven guilty. But what the indictment alleges is that
he would take notes in the situation room in discussions
about potential war situations and leaders of state telling us
their secret plans. He would then take those notes home
and on an unsecure line, an unsecure server, he would
(01:26):
type up the notes and then use an AOL account
to email them to himself, his wife, and his daughter.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Now, this is a very very serious allegation and as
somebody like John Bolton with so much experience, he really
should have known better. So if this is true, I
really don't think this falls under the category of, you know,
political retribution, only because the allegations are so serious.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But the I mean, there's going to be a h
an undercurrent of concerned that there is political retribution because
Bolton has been so outspoken, such an outspoken critic of
the Trump administration, even though Trump hired him, and I
mean he's on He's a constant fixture on networks that
(02:14):
are critical of Trump, and they go to him, and
he's used frequently as a way to give a sense
of even handedness and reporting, but still criticize Trump, and
Trump sees through that kind of thing. And I don't know,
I support Trump and I understand what you're saying, but there.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Does seem to be some vindictiveness undertones here.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
So I hear what you're saying, and I hear why
people are concerned about that. But think about it like this.
We also can't have a situation where anyone is below
the law, right, so we're saying no one can be
above the law. That is one hundred percent true. But
it seems to me like people are saying, if you
criticize Trump, therefore you can never be indicted. You can
(03:06):
never have the crimes you may have committed investigated because
you criticized Trump. So I think that there's a fine
line there between no one is above the law and
then the kind of retribution that you're talking about, And
of course it all depends on whether or not the
prosecutors can prove their case. If there's no there there,
(03:27):
I think it does look a lot more like political retribution.
If there are actual crimes there, it cannot be that
he can't be prosecuted for them because he criticizes Trump.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But Balton's been in a DC fixture for a long time.
You know, he was advisor in the Bush administration. He
advised presidential candidates on their foreign policy and campaigns, and
he served I mean, Trump hired him, so he knows
exactly how to handle confidential information.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
What would be the rationale to.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Literally go this far, you know, off protocol for someone
that taught protocol, oversaw protocol, and, by the way, dismissed
staff that didn't follow protocol in his leadership role.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
It's a really good question. And had a jury not
returned an indictment against him, I also would have thought,
you know, it's sort of beggar's belief, the idea that
somebody so experienced would make such rookie mistakes. But we
know that these juries are not just handing over every
single indictment, right. We know that they failed, for example,
to get an indictment to the guy who threw the
(04:33):
sandwich at the border patrol off at the ice agent. Right. Ways,
arning jury right, and they do seem to be making
intelligent decisions based on the evidence presenting them. Now, again,
a grand jury is a lower bar than a regular jury,
So he may make it through, he may be not guilty.
We have to always give the presumption of innocence.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What about the timing of this.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
The president understands the news cycle, He understands me, he
probably better than any president ever, and understands how to
control the narrative and how to change the narrative. This
is a big story, and the president wants the narrative
back toward the government shutdown and placing blame at his
(05:16):
at his political opponents.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Why would he want this story out there now?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That turns things back to when President Trump and Bolton
were allies and in fact work together.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I would say to me, that does seem to suggest
that the DOJ is operating independently, because the President is
having a very good week. He brought this cease fire
to the Middle East. We saw these twenty hostages brought
out of the tunnels of Gaza. I mean, honestly, a
miracle before our very eye. So he's having a great week.
He just had a great call with Putin. They're bringing
(05:48):
down the cost of IVF. This is not the story
he wants this week. So that to me does suggest
that the DOJ is, hopefully, as we would hope in
a democracy, operating independently.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
YOUNGA Sargar from News Nation, a host of Yeah, so
good to talk with you again, and we'll look forward
to talking with you again as the story continues to unfold.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
God gless so indictments now, and she's right. The president's
having a good week story wise, he's having success after
success after success.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
He did not like Bolton, and so Bolton went on
TV and constantly went on TV not liking Trump back,
but he did hire Bolton originally. So I don't know
that this is flattering, but we'll continue to keep an
eye on it, all right, when we come back. They
(06:42):
fired the girl that well, a woman that shouted out,
let's call Ice at the Dodger fan in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
She had two jobs.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
She was also the head of a major nonprofit there
in Milwaukee, and she also had a job at a
law firm. She was an attorney, and she just got
into it was innocent at first. The brewers were she
was cheering for the brewers, and also the Dodgers were
smacking the brewers around. And so the Dodger fan, the
(07:17):
one Dodger fan in a sea of Brewer fans in Milwaukee, said, hey,
where are the cheers now?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What happened to all the cheers? Where's all the cheering?
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean, this is rivalry, this is fun times.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You're at a baseball park, it's called a park. And
she couldn't keep it together and cross the line. And
she got fired, he got thrown out. We'll tell you
the whole story. It's it's one of the books. That's
all coming up next on the John Cobelt Show. Lou
Penrose sitting in with John Coblt on KFI AM six
forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Lou Penrose on the John cope Belt Show on kf
I AM six forty. So they fired the woman that
made the comment at the Milwaukee game. I think too soon.
I think she was going for comedy. I don't think
it was as mean spirited. It got mean spirited after that.
(08:19):
It was just it was a swing and a miss
in the comedy realm.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
A costly comeback.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
A Dodgers fan here for Game two was kicked out
of American Family Field for swearing at a Brewers fan,
but only after she said they should call ice on him.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
So dot see that's not funny, that's uh, that falls flat.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
This is Fox six in Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So bunch of Brewer fans in the stands and as
the game moves forward in Game two, they get more
and more quiet. One Dodger fan in the middle of
all the Brewer fans, he turns around and says, Hey,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Where's all of what? I'm to all the cheering, But
all of a sudden, you guys got some quot it
back here, right?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
You were needling me earlier in the game, and now
nobody has anything to say.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That kind of stuff goes. I think that's okay to
do at a ball game. I mean we're in the postseason.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I mean that's there's gonna be fans of both sides
and there's.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
A lot on the line. But she had the wrong comeback, Quiet,
what is it? I'm sorry? Color Ice? HOI Ice?
Speaker 11 (09:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
This is what's going on? Is everyone so quiet? And
the woman says, why don't we just call Ice?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Wait? Quiet?
Speaker 9 (09:40):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm sorry? Color Ice? HOI Ice?
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Season?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Girl?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Were towards Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
So the individual that the woman said we're about to
call Ice is Ricardo Fosada. He is a Navy veteran
of two wars and a US citizen. So the whole
call Ice thing only applies to the fact that she
saw somebody that looked like somebody that Ice would be apprehending,
(10:17):
which completely feeds into the narrative that ICE is only
going after people of color, which actually hurts the effort
of Interior enforcement of immigration law. So this woman, in
one sentence, brought us back months, if not years, in
(10:37):
the effort to combat the narrative that color doesn't have
a function here. We're going after people that are in
the country illegally and have criminal records on top of it,
and also happened to be of color.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So good job, lady. The woman identified as chef.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Wow Shannon cobyl Arzik, so Shannon colbyl Arzik colebyl like
John Cobel and then Arzik.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And she was she.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Had resigned from her position on the board of directors
of a major organization.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And then she got canned.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Fox six has learned the women shown is Shannon Kobe Lardcheck.
Make a wish Wisconsin kobylard Check.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That's a tough one.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Fox six has learned the women shown is Shannon Kobe Lardcheck.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Make a wish.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
Wisconsin confirmed she resigned from her position on their board
effective immediately. The State Bar Wisconsin showed she worked as
an attorney for Manpower Group. Wednesday, the company commented on
Fisado's Instagram post showing the video that she's no longer
an employee after an internal investigation.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Wow, she was a.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Big wig so at the Make a Wish Foundation and
a big attorney manpower. That's a big organization, So I
don't know. Look, there's a lot of beer involved in Milwaukee.
That's what these people do. They go to the game
and they drink a lot of beer. It sounded like
she just had a bad comeback. Look, I'm not going
to give her any grace. It's an off color mark.
(12:11):
It's unbecoming. And she said it, not that it matters,
but she said it to somebody who was a US
citizen and a Navy veteran, so.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You know, she gets what she deserves.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It's interesting that they threw out of the game Ricardo
Forsada because.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
It got heated after that. Like he didn't. He kind
of blew it off.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
He said, call Ice, no, lady, Ice ain't coming after me.
I'm a citizen, I'm a veteran, so Ice ain't coming
after me. So he was pretty key roll with it,
although it certainly isn'tsulting. And I guess they went back
and forth and back and forth, and then eventually he
cussed at her and they they threw him out of
the ballpark, so he didn't get to watch the rest
(12:59):
of the game.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
But she now has no job, and Fasato said security
kicked him out in the seventh inning after he confirmed
he swore at that Brewers fan. He's asking the team
to refund his tickets.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, you're not going to get that ticket refund, that's
for sure. But you came out on top. You were
you were the cooler head that prevailed, and you added
somebody that had the color of your skin on her mind,
and so good for Ricardo Fasada, bad on Shannon Cable
art check.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And another one bites.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Does so look, you gotta be care like, don't say
things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I understand that that you know.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
There's it's a top of mind because it's in the news.
But here's the rule of thumb. And unless you are
in the right company, and let know, your audience and
public isn't your audience.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
So unless you can.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Get away with joking that brings in racial sense of civities,
don't because you can get away with joking and never
talk about the color of someone's skin. So know, your audience.
That's and then that's if you're trying to tell a joke.
We don't know that she was trying to tell a joke.
Maybe she was just being honest and thinks that everybody
(14:16):
that looks like Navy veteran Ricardo.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
For Soada ought to be uh you ought to have
ice called.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Um.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I don't know what's going on with this woman, but
she's out of her job. But yeah, don't do that now.
Having said all that, you know, and I know that
Halloween is coming, and you know, and I know if
you're going to a Halloween party, there's gonna be if
you're going to an adult Halloween, not an adult adult
but just a grown up Halloween party, you know that
(14:45):
there are gonna be couples at the Halloween party and
the guy is gonna be dressed up like an ice agent,
and if his girlfriend or wife is of color, she
is gonna be in handcuffs, and everybody is gonna scream
in hilarity, like that's gonna be the big funny cut.
That's gonna be the costume that wins the award because
(15:05):
it's satire, it's edgy, and people are gonna be like,
oh my goodness, I cannot believe they showed up in
that outfit. Oh my goodness. So you know that's gonna
happen this Halloween. You know that's gonna happen this Halloween.
But see there, you have to know the audience probably
shouldn't show up in that outfit, you know, at a ballgame,
(15:27):
even if they're doing costume night. All right, So when
we come back, we had a couple of things speaking
of a concern in law enforcement, the Cartalis that put
a bounty out on the head of American agents. We'll
tell you how much money and what the concern is
and what law enforcement is doing about it.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That's all coming up next.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Lou Penrose Info John Cobelt on the John Cobelt Show
on kf I Am six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Good to have you along with us.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Terrible news of the passing of one of the original
members of the Kiss Army.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Ace Freely. Wow.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I mean that's a kind of puts put you back
to when you were a young kid with a Kiss
poster on the wall.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So I'm sure we'll learn more about that and reaction
from the remaining members of Kiss. And there's a lot
of members of Kiss because Freely was replaced a number
of times.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And so was Peter Chris. What's interesting to me is
for all the years.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
That I listened to Kiss and all the songs and
the powerhouse of guitar work that he was. The one
thing that stands out in my mind when I think
of Freely is when they performed Beth Unplugged on MTV
and he did an acoustics so low to Beth. I
thought that was probably some of his best work, some
(17:04):
of his best interpretation.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He's Freely Dead, original band member of Kiss.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
OK I am six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Chelsea Handler getting in on the whole ice complaints.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
She wants to boycott Home Depot.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Comedian Chelsea Handler wants to boycott Home Depot because she
says that Home Depot are using surveillance technologies in their
parking lot.
Speaker 12 (17:33):
If you're as disgusted as I am by these ice raids,
then we need to start boycotting the companies that are
enabling or profiting off of these Ice raids. So I'm
gonna start with Home Depot because Home Depot uses a
surveillance system It's called a flock, and they are able
to surveil your license plate and your movements as soon
as you pull into their parking lot. They can share
that with whomever they want. They can share that with
(17:54):
the police, they can share that with Ice, they can
share that with Kanye West if they want to.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So the problem that I have with comedians like Chelsea Handler,
who I like a lot and I think is tremendously talented,
But when they dip their foot into news satire, they
have it both ways because if they overstep, then they
can always say, look, I'm a comedian.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It was a joke, right, Jimmy Kimmel gets away with
that all the time. It was a joke. I'm a comedian.
Can't you take a joke? Or they insist to be
that they should.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Be taken seriously, and she wants you to actually boycott
Home Depot.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's number one. Number two, did it.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Ever occur to her that perhaps the cameras in the
parking lot of Home Depot help the police find the
person that assaulted you, should you, unfortunately be assaulted, or
maybe somebody broke into your.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Car or stole stuff from your truck while you were.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Shopping at Home Depot, and then you go out to
your truck and you're like, hey, the table saw is gone,
and you run into home Depot and good news the
security footage and now the cops can help locate the
guys that stole your table sat Like the cameras aren't
They didn't just put cameras there to catch illegal aliens
(19:20):
job siting at the home depot. People have been hanging
out at the Home Depot parking lot looking for day
labor forever and there have been cameras on them.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So why only now are you mad at home Depot.
Speaker 12 (19:33):
I'm against that, I'm against being surveiled, and I'm against
the home Depot being an unsafe place for its workers.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And for its shoppers.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, it's safer as a result of cameras. So again,
this is either very stupid or she's mocking and it's
all a great, big joke and she gets to have
it both ways. That's the problem with comedians who get
into mind line of work. All right, Speaking of the
good guy, the Mexican cartels now are literally putting cash
(20:05):
bounties on the heads of agents, not just agents at
the Department of Homeland Security, but all law enforcement, anybody
they want. They are making it very clear that they
are offering cash money and at different levels.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Here's the story.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Five to ten grand for kidnapping of ICE agents or
Customs and Border Patrol agents, non lethal assault, fifty thousand
dollars for the assassination of high ranking officials.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So this is what the Mexican cartels are putting out there.
And I don't know where these press releases go. I
don't know how they communicate these things. But two thousand
dollars and I don't know if it's US dollars, but
two thousand and a US dollar sign for doxing of
an ICE agent, five thousand dollars for the kidnapping of
an ICE agent, ten thousand dollars for the assault of
(20:58):
an agent, and fifty dollars for the assassination of a
high ranking official, which I assumed could include the President
of the United States, which would be that's an absolute threat. Well,
these are all threats, but this, so this crosses the line.
Here is Greg Bovino. He is the Customs and Border
(21:22):
Protection agent in charge there in Chicago. He says, Hey,
we're dealing with this locally with the people here in Chicago,
and now we're dealing with international drug cartels that are
trying to get a bounty on our heads.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
So we've got fifty thousand dollars bounties on the heads
of federal.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Law enforcement officers.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
We have criminals ramming vehicles, criminals bringing guns to protests.
This is not regular street crime here in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So the work that they have in front of them
is hard enough. Chasing after somebody who knew that they
were deportable, were already ordered out of the country, and
know that once they are apprehended, once those zip ties
or those cuffs go on their wrists and the truck
door slams, they are never coming to the United States
(22:09):
ever again.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
They know that. People forget that the illegal aliens know
they're in the country illegally.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Illegal aliens know that they have committed crimes. They may
not know that their crimes mean that they are deportable forever,
since they've been coming in and out of the country freely.
I saw one report where a guy was in the
country illegally for seven years, had been in and out
of the country five times, so it may come as
(22:37):
a shock to learn.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, guess what, you're never coming back.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I mean, say goodbye to whoever that crowd is over there,
but that's it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
You're gonna have to write from home.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
So when ICE agents know this, Federal officers know this,
they know that the people. That's why the illegal aliens are.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Wrestling with them. You see them wrestling with them on
the ground.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
They're fighting, they don't they want to put their arms
behind the back because they know they're not going to
see a judge. There's no right to remain silent. There's
no getting off, there's no getting out of that truck,
which puts the agents, the federal agents, in a very
dangerous position, which is why the element of surprise is
so important, which is why we don't need a bunch
of anti ICE idiots tipping off the illegals. It puts
(23:24):
the good guys, the federal officers, in harm's way. And
now on top of it, we got the cartels going after.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
We have assaults on border patrol agents, ICE officers, and
our allied law enforcement agencies every day.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Every day.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
That's what these guys have to deal with. Here's Tissia McLaughlin.
She is Assistant director of the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
These men and women are simply enforcing the rule of
law in doing their job, and yet there's these foreign
terrorist networks who are going after them. They're using a
tier tiered system of bounties.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Absolutely unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
So, Chelsea Handler, not funny, but I appreciate you otherwise.
Lou Penrose info John Coblt on The John Covelt Show
on KFI AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (24:07):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Lou Penrose info John Cobelt on The John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
I will shop at Home Depot more than ever now.
They are my exclusive home Depot shop.
Speaker 12 (24:23):
No more loaves, strictly all Home Depot.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
And that's what happens when celebrities call for a boycott.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I agree completely.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I feel safe for going to Home Deepot will loads
knowing that those cameras are there.
Speaker 13 (24:37):
Chelsea Hanley, keep your stupid mouth shut and guess what.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
I don't think they think you're funny.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
I don't even think you're smart.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Bye bye.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
So President Trump suggested yesterday that San Francisco could be
next on the list of cities that are targeted by
the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to help reduce crime.
He said that San Francisco was a great place ten
or fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
There's one of our great cities ten years ago, fifteen
years ago, and now it's a mess.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
So, of course Governor Gavin Newsen jumped on that comment
on social media because fifteen years ago Newsom was mayor
of the city and County of San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
But Trump's He's not wrong.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
San Francisco had less crime fifteen years ago, but much
less crime forty years ago, and I think that's what
he's referring to. Ironically, at this today, numbers came out
of San Francisco from the mayor's office and the district
attorney that suggests San Francisco maybe on a comeback.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
The Law and Order candidate for mayor won.
Speaker 14 (25:48):
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie says the city has seen
a thirty percent reduction in crime.
Speaker 15 (25:54):
We are at seventy year lows when it comes to homicides,
car breakings are at twenty two year lows. We had
the lowest number of ten encampments on record.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
So that's good news. I mean, homicides down car break ins.
That was the big thing. I mean, homicide. You can't
do a whole lot about. If you at the wrong
place at the wrong time and you get popped, you
gonna die. But car break ins are really annoying because
there's nothing. People broke into people's cars in San Francisco
and there was nothing in there to steal.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And there was a while and you knew people I'm
sure that had business in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
How to go up there for a day or an overnight,
land in San Francisco, go over, get the car at
the rental car, go into the law firm to go
check in, come out to get information on.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Where the car should be parked or whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Glass is broken, laptop stolen, briefcase stolen or nothing stolen.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I mean, everybody knows somebody that has that story.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
So if car breakings are at a twenty two percent
or twenty two year low, that's about as.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Good as it gets. So there is more and more
evidence that.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
San Francisco may be on an upswing as crime goes down,
and all it took was and these are certainly liberal Democrats,
but it is a liberal Democrat mayor and a liberal
Democrat district attorney that ran on tough on crime and
are now governing tough on crime. Here's the the county
(27:35):
District Attorney, Brooke Jenkins.
Speaker 10 (27:37):
Felony conviction rates are significantly higher in my office with
respect to drug dealing, robbery, assault, and gun possession cases.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
That's how we have gotten to these numbers. So they're tough.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I mean, when was the last time you heard a
da out of San Francisco talk like that and report
those numbers boldly and proudly.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
So it can be done.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Like even liberal Democrats can decide, hey, this is out
of control, and the people of San Francisco were like,
the crime is out of control, the homeless populations out
of control, the needles and the people.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's just out of control. It doesn't need to be
like this. And what's interesting is it wasn't always like that.
It spiraled. It spiraled rather.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Quickly in the last fifteen to twenty years, I think,
to Trump's credit, but it's almost as if law enforcement
and city government just could no longer handle the amount
of liberalism that they allowed, and it just got out
of hand and it took a very strong mayor, and
I think this mayor is a strong mayor and a
(28:43):
very strong district attorney to pull things back in control.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
And that's the way you turn some of these major
cities around.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
And you know what if the threat of Trump bringing
in the FBI and federal law enforcement causes the local
leaders in any major city to say.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
We're good.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Look at these numbers, the cities under control. We're getting
under control. It's gonna be better then either way you
and I win. San Francisco is an absolutely beautiful city,
and it wasn't that long ago. If you remember, people
used to vacation in San Francisco, like maybe they do now,
but it's an isolation vacation. You literally go from the
(29:21):
airplane to the car to the resort hotel.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
In certainly not taking a family walking around San Francisco.
But people used to do that.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I remember as a kid growing up watching The Price
Is Right and the Showcase Showdown, there'd be trips to
San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You don't see that today.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
No one's handed had a trip to San Francisco on
a game show as a major prize.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
People used to honeymoon in San.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Francisco because it is a beautiful place, and it's a
beautiful place to be and to relax and to eat
and to walk, and it belongs to us. It doesn't
belong to the crooks or all the dregs of society
that are hanging out there. So there's no reason that
it can't be that again. And it sounds like they're
on their way to having an upswing, So keep our
(30:12):
fingers crossed and I'll see you along the Obarcadero, all right.
Smuckers is suing Trader Joe's because they say that Trader
Joe's is trying to make their stuff look too much
like the actual stuff.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
JM.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
Smucker says that peanut butter and jam sandwiches sold by
Trader Joe's have the same pie like crimp markings on
their edges as Uncrustables, use the same blue color on
the packaging, and show a sandwich with a bite mark
taken out of it. Trademark experts say Trader Joe's could
argue that the sandwiches are slightly more square than Uncrustables
(30:46):
and that the crimping is simply functional.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Isn't everything at Trader Joe's, though, a knockoff of something
else at another store. I mean, I'm surprised that this
is the first time. Now I get it. Uncrustable is
kind of a big business. But like everything like and Uncrustable,
like anything that's common at a grocery store. You go
to Trader Joe's and they have like the Trader joe
(31:11):
version of it. That wouldn't call it a knockoff. It's
just an homage to the uncrustable. I like how they
make the sandwich a little more square, but the little
fork imprints along the edges of the bread. They say
that that you can't copyright that. That's just the way
you smush white bread together. All right, we got one
more before we get out here. Today was the Great
(31:33):
Shakeout Drill.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
How'd you do? Drop cover and hold on on?
Speaker 11 (31:37):
This annual International Shakeout Day the goal to encourage people
to review an update emergency preparedness plans, like stocking supplies
and securing and living or working spaces to prevent damage
and injury.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
All Right, I hope you did it, and I hope
you are thoughtful of it, because it does feel like
earthquake weather out there. Lou Penrose if John Covelt on
KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the Eye Art
Radio app.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
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 Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't f I am six forty. You're listening to the
John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Thanks for tuning in.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
A big story, a shake up, certainly a former West
Wing fixture, at least in the first Trump administration indebted
John Bolton now facing an indictment and a lot.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Of people are talking about it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
What this means A Batya Ango Sargon is with News Nation,
host of Baya with an explanation point. Thanks so much
for spending time with us. Wow, I mean when we
start seeing indictments of former West Wing fixtures, it's very
close to the ovalalls.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Thank you so much for having me. It's such a
treat to be.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
Here with you and your listeners. Yeah, this is a
really interesting development. A lot of things can be true
at the same time. Right on the one hand, we
definitely overclassify things. We have a problem to where the
government classifies a lot of things that are not actually
top secret. But when you look at the same that
John Bolton is accused of sharing. Now again he's innocident
(01:04):
until proven guilty. But what the indictment alleges is that
he would take notes in the situation room in discussions
about potential war situations and leaders of state telling us
their secret plans. He would then take those notes home
and on an unsecure line, an unsecure server, he would
(01:26):
type up the notes and then use an AOL account
to email them to himself, his wife, and his daughter.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Now, this is a very very serious allegation and as
somebody like John Bolton with so much experience, he really
should have known better. So if this is true, I
really don't think this falls under the category of, you know,
political retribution, only because the allegations are so serious.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
But the I mean, there's going to be a h
an undercurrent of concerned that there is political retribution because
Bolton has been so outspoken, such an outspoken critic of
the Trump administration, even though Trump hired him, and I
mean he's on He's a constant fixture on networks that
(02:14):
are critical of Trump, and they go to him, and
he's used frequently as a way to give a sense
of even handedness and reporting, but still criticize Trump, and
Trump sees through that kind of thing. And I don't know,
I support Trump and I understand what you're saying, but there.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Does seem to be some vindictiveness undertones here.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
So I hear what you're saying, and I hear why
people are concerned about that. But think about it like this.
We also can't have a situation where anyone is below
the law, right, so we're saying no one can be
above the law. That is one hundred percent true. But
it seems to me like people are saying, if you
criticize Trump, therefore you can never be indicted. You can
(03:06):
never have the crimes you may have committed investigated because
you criticized Trump. So I think that there's a fine
line there between no one is above the law and
then the kind of retribution that you're talking about, And
of course it all depends on whether or not the
prosecutors can prove their case. If there's no there there,
(03:27):
I think it does look a lot more like political retribution.
If there are actual crimes there, it cannot be that
he can't be prosecuted for them because he criticizes Trump.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
But Balton's been in a DC fixture for a long time.
You know, he was advisor in the Bush administration. He
advised presidential candidates on their foreign policy and campaigns, and
he served I mean, Trump hired him, so he knows
exactly how to handle confidential information.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
What would be the rationale to.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Literally go this far, you know, off protocol for someone
that taught protocol, oversaw protocol, and, by the way, dismissed
staff that didn't follow protocol in his leadership role.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
It's a really good question. And had a jury not
returned an indictment against him, I also would have thought,
you know, it's sort of beggar's belief, the idea that
somebody so experienced would make such rookie mistakes. But we
know that these juries are not just handing over every
single indictment, right. We know that they failed, for example,
to get an indictment to the guy who threw the
(04:33):
sandwich at the border patrol off at the ice agent. Right. Ways,
arning jury right, and they do seem to be making
intelligent decisions based on the evidence presenting them. Now, again,
a grand jury is a lower bar than a regular jury,
So he may make it through, he may be not guilty.
We have to always give the presumption of innocence.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
What about the timing of this.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
The president understands the news cycle, He understands me, he
probably better than any president ever, and understands how to
control the narrative and how to change the narrative. This
is a big story, and the president wants the narrative
back toward the government shutdown and placing blame at his
(05:16):
at his political opponents.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Why would he want this story out there now?
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That turns things back to when President Trump and Bolton
were allies and in fact work together.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
I would say to me, that does seem to suggest
that the DOJ is operating independently, because the President is
having a very good week. He brought this cease fire
to the Middle East. We saw these twenty hostages brought
out of the tunnels of Gaza. I mean, honestly, a
miracle before our very eye. So he's having a great week.
He just had a great call with Putin. They're bringing
(05:48):
down the cost of IVF. This is not the story
he wants this week. So that to me does suggest
that the DOJ is, hopefully, as we would hope in
a democracy, operating independently.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
YOUNGA Sargar from News Nation, a host of Yeah, so
good to talk with you again, and we'll look forward
to talking with you again as the story continues to unfold.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
God gless so indictments now, and she's right. The president's
having a good week story wise, he's having success after
success after success.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
Now.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
He did not like Bolton, and so Bolton went on
TV and constantly went on TV not liking Trump back,
but he did hire Bolton originally. So I don't know
that this is flattering, but we'll continue to keep an
eye on it, all right, when we come back. They
(06:42):
fired the girl that well, a woman that shouted out,
let's call Ice at the Dodger fan in Milwaukee.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
She had two jobs.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
She was also the head of a major nonprofit there
in Milwaukee, and she also had a job at a
law firm. She was an attorney, and she just got
into it was innocent at first. The brewers were she
was cheering for the brewers, and also the Dodgers were
smacking the brewers around. And so the Dodger fan, the
(07:17):
one Dodger fan in a sea of Brewer fans in Milwaukee, said, hey,
where are the cheers now?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What happened to all the cheers? Where's all the cheering?
Speaker 7 (07:25):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I mean, this is rivalry, this is fun times.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
You're at a baseball park, it's called a park. And
she couldn't keep it together and cross the line. And
she got fired, he got thrown out. We'll tell you
the whole story. It's it's one of the books. That's
all coming up next on the John Cobelt Show. Lou
Penrose sitting in with John Coblt on KFI AM six
forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (07:51):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Lou Penrose on the John cope Belt Show on kf
I AM six forty. So they fired the woman that
made the comment at the Milwaukee game. I think too soon.
I think she was going for comedy. I don't think
it was as mean spirited. It got mean spirited after that.
(08:19):
It was just it was a swing and a miss
in the comedy realm.
Speaker 9 (08:23):
A costly comeback.
Speaker 10 (08:25):
A Dodgers fan here for Game two was kicked out
of American Family Field for swearing at a Brewers fan,
but only after she said they should call ice on him.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
So dot see that's not funny, that's uh, that falls flat.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
This is Fox six in Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
So bunch of Brewer fans in the stands and as
the game moves forward in Game two, they get more
and more quiet. One Dodger fan in the middle of
all the Brewer fans, he turns around and says, Hey,
what's going on?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Where's all of what? I'm to all the cheering, But
all of a sudden, you guys got some quot it
back here, right?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
You were needling me earlier in the game, and now
nobody has anything to say.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
That kind of stuff goes. I think that's okay to
do at a ball game. I mean we're in the postseason.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
I mean that's there's gonna be fans of both sides
and there's.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
A lot on the line. But she had the wrong comeback, Quiet,
what is it? I'm sorry? Color Ice? HOI Ice?
Speaker 11 (09:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
This is what's going on? Is everyone so quiet? And
the woman says, why don't we just call Ice?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Wait? Quiet?
Speaker 9 (09:40):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I'm sorry? Color Ice? HOI Ice?
Speaker 7 (09:46):
Season?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Girl?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Were towards Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
So the individual that the woman said we're about to
call Ice is Ricardo Fosada. He is a Navy veteran
of two wars and a US citizen. So the whole
call Ice thing only applies to the fact that she
saw somebody that looked like somebody that Ice would be apprehending,
(10:17):
which completely feeds into the narrative that ICE is only
going after people of color, which actually hurts the effort
of Interior enforcement of immigration law. So this woman, in
one sentence, brought us back months, if not years, in
(10:37):
the effort to combat the narrative that color doesn't have
a function here. We're going after people that are in
the country illegally and have criminal records on top of it,
and also happened to be of color.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
So good job, lady. The woman identified as chef.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Wow Shannon cobyl Arzik, so Shannon colbyl Arzik colebyl like
John Cobel and then Arzik.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And she was she.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Had resigned from her position on the board of directors
of a major organization.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
And then she got canned.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
Fox six has learned the women shown is Shannon Kobe Lardcheck.
Make a wish Wisconsin kobylard Check.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
That's a tough one.
Speaker 9 (11:28):
Fox six has learned the women shown is Shannon Kobe Lardcheck.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Make a wish.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
Wisconsin confirmed she resigned from her position on their board
effective immediately. The State Bar Wisconsin showed she worked as
an attorney for Manpower Group. Wednesday, the company commented on
Fisado's Instagram post showing the video that she's no longer
an employee after an internal investigation.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Wow, she was a.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Big wig so at the Make a Wish Foundation and
a big attorney manpower. That's a big organization, So I
don't know. Look, there's a lot of beer involved in Milwaukee.
That's what these people do. They go to the game
and they drink a lot of beer. It sounded like
she just had a bad comeback. Look, I'm not going
to give her any grace. It's an off color mark.
(12:11):
It's unbecoming. And she said it, not that it matters,
but she said it to somebody who was a US
citizen and a Navy veteran, so.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
You know, she gets what she deserves.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It's interesting that they threw out of the game Ricardo
Forsada because.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
It got heated after that. Like he didn't. He kind
of blew it off.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
He said, call Ice, no, lady, Ice ain't coming after me.
I'm a citizen, I'm a veteran, so Ice ain't coming
after me. So he was pretty key roll with it,
although it certainly isn'tsulting. And I guess they went back
and forth and back and forth, and then eventually he
cussed at her and they they threw him out of
the ballpark, so he didn't get to watch the rest
(12:59):
of the game.
Speaker 9 (13:00):
But she now has no job, and Fasato said security
kicked him out in the seventh inning after he confirmed
he swore at that Brewers fan. He's asking the team
to refund his tickets.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah, you're not going to get that ticket refund, that's
for sure. But you came out on top. You were
you were the cooler head that prevailed, and you added
somebody that had the color of your skin on her mind,
and so good for Ricardo Fasada, bad on Shannon Cable
art check.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
And another one bites.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Does so look, you gotta be care like, don't say
things like that.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I understand that that you know.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
There's it's a top of mind because it's in the news.
But here's the rule of thumb. And unless you are
in the right company, and let know, your audience and
public isn't your audience.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
So unless you can.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
Get away with joking that brings in racial sense of civities,
don't because you can get away with joking and never
talk about the color of someone's skin. So know, your audience.
That's and then that's if you're trying to tell a joke.
We don't know that she was trying to tell a joke.
Maybe she was just being honest and thinks that everybody
(14:16):
that looks like Navy veteran Ricardo.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
For Soada ought to be uh you ought to have
ice called.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Um.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I don't know what's going on with this woman, but
she's out of her job. But yeah, don't do that now.
Having said all that, you know, and I know that
Halloween is coming, and you know, and I know if
you're going to a Halloween party, there's gonna be if
you're going to an adult Halloween, not an adult adult
but just a grown up Halloween party, you know that
(14:45):
there are gonna be couples at the Halloween party and
the guy is gonna be dressed up like an ice agent,
and if his girlfriend or wife is of color, she
is gonna be in handcuffs, and everybody is gonna scream
in hilarity, like that's gonna be the big funny cut.
That's gonna be the costume that wins the award because
(15:05):
it's satire, it's edgy, and people are gonna be like,
oh my goodness, I cannot believe they showed up in
that outfit. Oh my goodness. So you know that's gonna
happen this Halloween. You know that's gonna happen this Halloween.
But see there, you have to know the audience probably
shouldn't show up in that outfit, you know, at a ballgame,
(15:27):
even if they're doing costume night. All right, So when
we come back, we had a couple of things speaking
of a concern in law enforcement, the Cartalis that put
a bounty out on the head of American agents. We'll
tell you how much money and what the concern is
and what law enforcement is doing about it.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That's all coming up next.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Lou Penrose Info John Cobelt on the John Cobelt Show
on kf I Am six forty Live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 8 (15:55):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Good to have you along with us.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Terrible news of the passing of one of the original
members of the Kiss Army.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Ace Freely. Wow.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I mean that's a kind of puts put you back
to when you were a young kid with a Kiss
poster on the wall.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
So I'm sure we'll learn more about that and reaction
from the remaining members of Kiss. And there's a lot
of members of Kiss because Freely was replaced a number
of times.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
And so was Peter Chris. What's interesting to me is
for all the years.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
That I listened to Kiss and all the songs and
the powerhouse of guitar work that he was. The one
thing that stands out in my mind when I think
of Freely is when they performed Beth Unplugged on MTV
and he did an acoustics so low to Beth. I
thought that was probably some of his best work, some
(17:04):
of his best interpretation.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
He's Freely Dead, original band member of Kiss.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
OK I am six forty Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Chelsea Handler getting in on the whole ice complaints.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
She wants to boycott Home Depot.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Comedian Chelsea Handler wants to boycott Home Depot because she
says that Home Depot are using surveillance technologies in their
parking lot.
Speaker 12 (17:33):
If you're as disgusted as I am by these ice raids,
then we need to start boycotting the companies that are
enabling or profiting off of these Ice raids. So I'm
gonna start with Home Depot because Home Depot uses a
surveillance system It's called a flock, and they are able
to surveil your license plate and your movements as soon
as you pull into their parking lot. They can share
that with whomever they want. They can share that with
(17:54):
the police, they can share that with Ice, they can
share that with Kanye West if they want to.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So the problem that I have with comedians like Chelsea Handler,
who I like a lot and I think is tremendously talented,
But when they dip their foot into news satire, they
have it both ways because if they overstep, then they
can always say, look, I'm a comedian.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It was a joke, right, Jimmy Kimmel gets away with
that all the time. It was a joke. I'm a comedian.
Can't you take a joke? Or they insist to be
that they should.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Be taken seriously, and she wants you to actually boycott
Home Depot.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
That's number one. Number two, did it.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Ever occur to her that perhaps the cameras in the
parking lot of Home Depot help the police find the
person that assaulted you, should you, unfortunately be assaulted, or
maybe somebody broke into your.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Car or stole stuff from your truck while you were.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Shopping at Home Depot, and then you go out to
your truck and you're like, hey, the table saw is gone,
and you run into home Depot and good news the
security footage and now the cops can help locate the
guys that stole your table sat Like the cameras aren't
They didn't just put cameras there to catch illegal aliens
(19:20):
job siting at the home depot. People have been hanging
out at the Home Depot parking lot looking for day
labor forever and there have been cameras on them.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
So why only now are you mad at home Depot.
Speaker 12 (19:33):
I'm against that, I'm against being surveiled, and I'm against
the home Depot being an unsafe place for its workers.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
And for its shoppers.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Yeah, it's safer as a result of cameras. So again,
this is either very stupid or she's mocking and it's
all a great, big joke and she gets to have
it both ways. That's the problem with comedians who get
into mind line of work. All right, Speaking of the
good guy, the Mexican cartels now are literally putting cash
(20:05):
bounties on the heads of agents, not just agents at
the Department of Homeland Security, but all law enforcement, anybody
they want. They are making it very clear that they
are offering cash money and at different levels.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Here's the story.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Five to ten grand for kidnapping of ICE agents or
Customs and Border Patrol agents, non lethal assault, fifty thousand
dollars for the assassination of high ranking officials.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So this is what the Mexican cartels are putting out there.
And I don't know where these press releases go. I
don't know how they communicate these things. But two thousand
dollars and I don't know if it's US dollars, but
two thousand and a US dollar sign for doxing of
an ICE agent, five thousand dollars for the kidnapping of
an ICE agent, ten thousand dollars for the assault of
(20:58):
an agent, and fifty dollars for the assassination of a
high ranking official, which I assumed could include the President
of the United States, which would be that's an absolute threat. Well,
these are all threats, but this, so this crosses the line.
Here is Greg Bovino. He is the Customs and Border
(21:22):
Protection agent in charge there in Chicago. He says, Hey,
we're dealing with this locally with the people here in Chicago,
and now we're dealing with international drug cartels that are
trying to get a bounty on our heads.
Speaker 7 (21:33):
So we've got fifty thousand dollars bounties on the heads
of federal.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Law enforcement officers.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
We have criminals ramming vehicles, criminals bringing guns to protests.
This is not regular street crime here in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
So the work that they have in front of them
is hard enough. Chasing after somebody who knew that they
were deportable, were already ordered out of the country, and
know that once they are apprehended, once those zip ties
or those cuffs go on their wrists and the truck
door slams, they are never coming to the United States
(22:09):
ever again.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
They know that. People forget that the illegal aliens know
they're in the country illegally.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Illegal aliens know that they have committed crimes. They may
not know that their crimes mean that they are deportable forever,
since they've been coming in and out of the country freely.
I saw one report where a guy was in the
country illegally for seven years, had been in and out
of the country five times, so it may come as
(22:37):
a shock to learn.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, guess what, you're never coming back.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I mean, say goodbye to whoever that crowd is over there,
but that's it.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
You're gonna have to write from home.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
So when ICE agents know this, Federal officers know this,
they know that the people. That's why the illegal aliens are.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Wrestling with them. You see them wrestling with them on
the ground.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
They're fighting, they don't they want to put their arms
behind the back because they know they're not going to
see a judge. There's no right to remain silent. There's
no getting off, there's no getting out of that truck,
which puts the agents, the federal agents, in a very
dangerous position, which is why the element of surprise is
so important, which is why we don't need a bunch
of anti ICE idiots tipping off the illegals. It puts
(23:24):
the good guys, the federal officers, in harm's way. And
now on top of it, we got the cartels going after.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
We have assaults on border patrol agents, ICE officers, and
our allied law enforcement agencies every day.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Every day.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
That's what these guys have to deal with. Here's Tissia McLaughlin.
She is Assistant director of the Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 13 (23:43):
These men and women are simply enforcing the rule of
law in doing their job, and yet there's these foreign
terrorist networks who are going after them. They're using a
tier tiered system of bounties.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Absolutely unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
So, Chelsea Handler, not funny, but I appreciate you otherwise.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
So President Trump suggested yesterday that San Francisco could be
next on the list of cities that are targeted by
the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to help reduce crime.
He said that San Francisco was a great place ten
or fifteen years ago.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
There's one of our great cities ten years ago, fifteen
years ago, and now it's a mess.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
So, of course Governor Gavin Newsen jumped on that comment
on social media because fifteen years ago Newsom was mayor
of the city and County of San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
But Trump's He's not wrong.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
San Francisco had less crime fifteen years ago, but much
less crime forty years ago, and I think that's what
he's referring to. Ironically, at this today, numbers came out
of San Francisco from the mayor's office and the district
attorney that suggests San Francisco maybe on a comeback.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
The Law and Order candidate for mayor won.
Speaker 14 (25:48):
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie says the city has seen
a thirty percent reduction in crime.
Speaker 15 (25:54):
We are at seventy year lows when it comes to homicides,
car breakings are at twenty two year lows. We had
the lowest number of ten encampments on record.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
So that's good news. I mean, homicides down car break ins.
That was the big thing. I mean, homicide. You can't
do a whole lot about. If you at the wrong
place at the wrong time and you get popped, you
gonna die. But car break ins are really annoying because
there's nothing. People broke into people's cars in San Francisco
and there was nothing in there to steal.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
And there was a while and you knew people I'm
sure that had business in San Francisco.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
How to go up there for a day or an overnight,
land in San Francisco, go over, get the car at
the rental car, go into the law firm to go
check in, come out to get information on.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Where the car should be parked or whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Glass is broken, laptop stolen, briefcase stolen or nothing stolen.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I mean, everybody knows somebody that has that story.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
So if car breakings are at a twenty two percent
or twenty two year low, that's about as.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Good as it gets. So there is more and more
evidence that.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
San Francisco may be on an upswing as crime goes down,
and all it took was and these are certainly liberal Democrats,
but it is a liberal Democrat mayor and a liberal
Democrat district attorney that ran on tough on crime and
are now governing tough on crime. Here's the the county
(27:35):
District Attorney, Brooke Jenkins.
Speaker 10 (27:37):
Felony conviction rates are significantly higher in my office with
respect to drug dealing, robbery, assault, and gun possession cases.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
That's how we have gotten to these numbers. So they're tough.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
I mean, when was the last time you heard a
da out of San Francisco talk like that and report
those numbers boldly and proudly.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
So it can be done.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Like even liberal Democrats can decide, hey, this is out
of control, and the people of San Francisco were like,
the crime is out of control, the homeless populations out
of control, the needles and the people.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's just out of control. It doesn't need to be
like this. And what's interesting is it wasn't always like that.
It spiraled. It spiraled rather.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Quickly in the last fifteen to twenty years, I think,
to Trump's credit, but it's almost as if law enforcement
and city government just could no longer handle the amount
of liberalism that they allowed, and it just got out
of hand and it took a very strong mayor, and
I think this mayor is a strong mayor and a
(28:43):
very strong district attorney to pull things back in control.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
And that's the way you turn some of these major
cities around.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
And you know what if the threat of Trump bringing
in the FBI and federal law enforcement causes the local
leaders in any major city to say.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
We're good.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Look at these numbers, the cities under control. We're getting
under control. It's gonna be better then either way you
and I win. San Francisco is an absolutely beautiful city,
and it wasn't that long ago. If you remember, people
used to vacation in San Francisco, like maybe they do now,
but it's an isolation vacation. You literally go from the
(29:21):
airplane to the car to the resort hotel.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
In certainly not taking a family walking around San Francisco.
But people used to do that.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I remember as a kid growing up watching The Price
Is Right and the Showcase Showdown, there'd be trips to
San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
You don't see that today.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
No one's handed had a trip to San Francisco on
a game show as a major prize.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
People used to honeymoon in San.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Francisco because it is a beautiful place, and it's a
beautiful place to be and to relax and to eat
and to walk, and it belongs to us. It doesn't
belong to the crooks or all the dregs of society
that are hanging out there. So there's no reason that
it can't be that again. And it sounds like they're
on their way to having an upswing, So keep our
(30:12):
fingers crossed and I'll see you along the Obarcadero, all right.
Smuckers is suing Trader Joe's because they say that Trader
Joe's is trying to make their stuff look too much
like the actual stuff.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
JM.
Speaker 14 (30:26):
Smucker says that peanut butter and jam sandwiches sold by
Trader Joe's have the same pie like crimp markings on
their edges as Uncrustables, use the same blue color on
the packaging, and show a sandwich with a bite mark
taken out of it. Trademark experts say Trader Joe's could
argue that the sandwiches are slightly more square than Uncrustables
(30:46):
and that the crimping is simply functional.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Isn't everything at Trader Joe's, though, a knockoff of something
else at another store. I mean, I'm surprised that this
is the first time. Now I get it. Uncrustable is
kind of a big business. But like everything like and Uncrustable,
like anything that's common at a grocery store. You go
to Trader Joe's and they have like the Trader joe
(31:11):
version of it. That wouldn't call it a knockoff. It's
just an homage to the uncrustable. I like how they
make the sandwich a little more square, but the little
fork imprints along the edges of the bread. They say
that that you can't copyright that. That's just the way
you smush white bread together. All right, we got one
more before we get out here. Today was the Great
(31:33):
Shakeout Drill.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
How'd you do? Drop cover and hold on on?
Speaker 11 (31:37):
This annual International Shakeout Day the goal to encourage people
to review an update emergency preparedness plans, like stocking supplies
and securing and living or working spaces to prevent damage
and injury.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
All Right, I hope you did it, and I hope
you are thoughtful of it, because it does feel like
earthquake weather out there. Lou Penrose if John Covelt on
