Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
It's mandatory listening. If, however, there is some unforeseen circumstance
such as work, you could listen after the show is over.
We put it on the iHeart app, the podcast John
Cobelt Show on demand, and that's how you keep track
of everything. Well, we had a big day yesterday and
(00:26):
we are going to build a lot on yesterday's big day.
Bill Maluja, we have to give him full credit. From
Fox News. He found a clip online posted by the
vice mayor of Cutahy, Cynthia Gonzalez. Excuse me, doctor Cynthia Gonzalez, Well,
(00:47):
explain more of that in a moment. She's a woman
in her forties who has spent her lifetime in education
and she's the vice mayor and she posted a video
which she has since deleted, where she is calling on
local gang but local gangs to get together and defend
(01:10):
cut a Hay from ice. And this is really blown
up because she didn't take it down in time, Illusian
was able to get a copy of it posted it.
It's now all over the place and I was pleasantly
surprised to see many of the television stations run stories
on this.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I didn't think that was going to happen. I thought
this was going to be overlooked and buried. Oh I
didn't think so. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
All right, Well, it's my cynical nature about the TV
news business. But this is this is great because she's
being exposed. Now let me see first, let's play the
video because you may not be aware of it if
you weren't listening later in the show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So this is the Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzales.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Not for nothing, but.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I want to know where all the totos are at.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
In Los Angeles. Eighteenth Street Flowdancia. Where where's the leadership at?
Speaker 7 (02:05):
Because you guys are all about territory and this is eighteenth.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Street and this is Torrante. You they tag.
Speaker 8 (02:10):
Everything up, claiming hood, and now that your hood's being
invaded by the biggest gang there is, they're.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
In't a peep out of you. It's everyone else who's
not about the gang.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Life that's out there protesting and speaking up.
Speaker 9 (02:23):
We're out there like fighting our tur, protecting our tur
protecting our people, and like where you at, bin Kaya
vitos bin kayaditos, little toolito.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I'm like, dude, they're running a muck all up in.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Your on your streets, on your streets and in your city.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
And Pete when the big gang guns come in, nothing
but like, why we're out here, the regular ones that
have never been.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Jumped in out here calling things out. I'm trying to
organize people, trying to.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Do the thing. So don't be trying to claim no block,
no nothing.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
If you're not showing up right now trying to.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Like help out and organize, I don't want to hear a.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Peep out of you once they're gone, trying to claim
that this is my block.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
This was not your block. You weren't even here helping out.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
So whoever's the leadership over there, just can get your
members in order.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think you got that. She's calling the gangs out,
specifically the Eighteenth Street Gang and the Florencia Gang. Cuta Hay,
which is in southwest La County, is ninety seven percent Latino,
and I guess they have a lot of gang members,
and I guess the gang members belong to the Eighteenth
Street Group and the Florencia Group. And she's clearly calling
them out to combat ice. I don't know if there's
(03:36):
been raids in Cuta Hay specifically, but she wants everybody
armed and ready to go. What's funny is is the
way some of the news media says she allegedly called
on the gang members.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
No, she didn't let you you heard it that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Those are her words on her video that she posted
on her social media accounts. I also saw seemingly here's
a quest question from the LA Times, did local council
women urge gangs to organize over ice raids?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Here's what we know.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
She's calling on armed gang members to get to cut
A Hay as quickly as possible to take on ice,
which means she wants them to murder ice if necessary,
wants them to murder ice officers.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's what she's calling for. Now.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I'm going to play you a few seconds of that
clip again. Eric, Let's just play and listen to the
quality of her voice and her accent and her sing
song delivery.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Let's just play a little bit of this.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Not for nothing, but I want to know where all
the trollers are at.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
In Los Angeles, Eighteenth Street, Florentia.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Where's the leadership at?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Because you guys are all about territory, and this is eighteenth.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Street and this is dord Anthea. You they tag everything up.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Paying Stop found out after the show, well, during the show,
that she's got three advanced degrees, two master's degrees, and
a doctorate degree in education, all from UCLA. And it
just struck me really weird that she would communicate that way.
I mean, she just sounded like an illiterate, ignorant street girl. Well,
(05:20):
I stayed late yesterday. I don't stay late often, but
the whole thing was bugging me, and I found her
Facebook account. It's not easy picking out a Cynthia Gonzalez.
There's a lot of them. But I don't know how
I discovered this, but she's under doctor Cynthia Gonzalez because
she has a doctorate from UCLA and education and she
(05:41):
wrote a dr capital C and spells at Cynthia. So
it's kind of hard to find if you're doing a
straight search. Well, she had a clip of herself from
June eleventh, speaking at a press conference hosted by Karen Bass.
Bass called together some of the La County mayors to
(06:02):
protest ICE. So Bass is in on this. This is
one of Bass's lieutenants. Listen to Cynthia Gonzalez and listen
to the way she spoke in public at this press conference.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Good morning everyone.
Speaker 10 (06:16):
My name's doctor Cynthia Gonzalez. I'm the vice mayor for
the city of Kadahe the Sela region, and although the
raids haven't happened in our small city, they are happening
in southeast.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Los Angeles pretty heavily. And we stand united. And I
also want to.
Speaker 10 (06:29):
Speak to Americans, especially to those who have allowed our
community to be the scapegoat of this administration that made
you feel that your American dream hasn't happened because of us.
I have a doctorate degree. All of us here are
successful and.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
We are educated with our.
Speaker 10 (06:49):
Community behind us, documented or not undocumented people, the communities
that we represent where I grew up, they did not
interfere at all with my ability to be successful or
achieve the American dream.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
If at all, they helped. They helped feed us.
Speaker 10 (07:04):
They helped take care of my daughter when I needed
babysitting and I couldn't have family members do it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
There are neighbors.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
We don't ask our neighbors whether they have documentation or not.
We are all united. And we are all here.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
And if you.
Speaker 10 (07:17):
Should have anger, it should be for the gutting of Medicaid,
it should be for the gutting of your social security,
and they should be for corporate greed, because that is
who they're after. And they're using our brown bodies to
avoid the conversation that this administration is a failure and
they do not know how to legislate.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, well within the boundaries of a politician trying to
represent per people in the district, right, much more controlled,
much better use of language and longer words and all that.
Now again, listen to cut number one. Listen to what
this thing was not for nothing?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
But I want to know where all the trollers.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Are at in Los Angeles, Eighteenth Street, florent where's the
leadership at, Because you guys are all.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
About territory and this is eighteenth Street and this is
sort anthony.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You they tag everything up paming hood and now that your.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Hood's being invaded by the biggest.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
It's everyone else who's not about the gang.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Life that's out there protesting and speaking up.
Speaker 11 (08:20):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Stop.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
A completely different version one is doctor Cynthia Gonzalez and
the other is street Cindy.
Speaker 12 (08:27):
Well, because she was obviously addressing gang members and so
she's stooping to their level. That's what she was doing.
If she sounded like she did the first clips that
you just played controlled and educated, right, then it went
have resonated. So she wanted to show that she's on
their side, she's.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
One of them.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'm thinking that she have multiple personality distorted. I mean,
who is the real doctor Cynthia Gonzales.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Well, there is a thing called code switching. Yeah, I've
heard of that. Yeah, I uh.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's when you start speaking in the uh, corporate tone,
in corporate tone, and then you speak in a different
cadence and you speak more in a more relaxed manner.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, more slang.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And but I mean that was that was pretty shocking
when I saw her in the second video next to
the mayor.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Now, remember I told you Bass is intimately.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Involved with all these radical leftist groups that powered the riot.
I told you she was giving out and she's slick
at this. You have to really pay attention, and I
am onto her because when she gave out the recommendation
during the riots that if you're an illegal alien and
(09:37):
you think there's ice around called the Rapid Response Network
like it's some kind of city emergency helpline. The Rapid
Response Network is from Churla. Churla is an activist organization
that helps inspire the riot. They get thirty four million
dollars in California tax money to do things like facilitate riots,
(10:04):
and then they have this rapid response where if you
see ice, you're supposed to rat out ice. And then
I don't know, I guess, and then Cynthia Rodriguez sends
out the Eighteenth Street Gang in the Florencia Gang and
let them have a crack at ice. So the second
clip I played was Karen Vassi's press conference, and she
(10:25):
gave the microphone to doctor Cynthia Gonzales, who, by the way,
has been in education for twenty three years as a
teacher and administrator and a principal, and even was recently
named director of a program, some kind of educational equity
program at UCLA. Same one you heard doing her gang rap,
(10:50):
trying to get the local gangsters. Well, in fact, I
know so little about that culture. When I heard she's
calling out tou Cholo's I had to look at what
Cholos are. I thought that was a restaurant. Yes, Brichola's
are gangsters, but what do I know. I'm a Polish
guy from the suburbs. All Right, we got more coming up,
debor Mark live in the Cafe. You didn't know what
cholo was?
Speaker 12 (11:10):
Yes, oh, yes I did. But what I was going
to say was, have we heard anything from Karen Bass
about this video? Not so far, but I'll give another look.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well you do that. I haven't seen anything. I haven't
seen anything either. This is another thing she's going to
hide from, like the fire.
Speaker 11 (11:26):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So continuing with this uh wanna be gangster girl Cynthia Gonzalez.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I mean this story.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Every time I went looking for new information, I was surprised.
I was shocked to see that this woman has got three,
well four degrees, three advanced degrees. She's got her normal
bachelor's and then she's got two master's degrees from ucl
and a doctorate from UCLA, all on the education field,
(12:04):
and for twenty three years, while she's raising kids, she's
been a teacher, administrator, a principal, and she's calling on.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The young men who.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Have I guess, failed out of LA Unified and have
joined gangs. And she's asking him to come to cuta
hay and I assume bring their guns and start firing
at ice.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Officers if necessary.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And I'd never seen a public official do this. Oh
and just to point something else out, we found out
yesterday she ran for the LA Unified board, the school board.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And the LA Times endorsed her.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Yes, the LA Times, out of I think ten candidates
thought she was the best.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
All she does is.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Call for the murdering of federal lawn forestment agents. But
for the LA Times, yeah, that's our girl. Let me
read you some reaction here. Listen to this character, Huntington
Park mayor Arturo Flores. He spoke to CBS Los Angeles
(13:20):
doing a little uh, testified to her character. The statements
she made were really taken out of context.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
No, that was her video, that was her context, that
was her words.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Camera goes on, she starts talking, and then she comes
to an end and camera goes off.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Her social media site. It was not edited.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
She posted it. Play a little bit again, this is
not out of context. This is Cynthia Gonzales.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Not for nothing, but I want to know where all
the trollers are.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
At in Los Angeles, Eighteenth Street, Florentia. Where's the leadership at,
Because you guys are all.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
About territory and this is eighteenth Street and this is
Lord Ante. You didn't tag everything.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Up claiming hood.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
And now that your hoo's being invaded by the biggest
gang there is.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, there a people.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Are you all right? I stop?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Now that your hood is being invaded by the biggest
gang there is.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's ice.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Hey you're always tagging things up, right, I mean that's vandalism,
but sure, it's just tagging things up. This is the
gang street mentality. And hey, you know, if you got
if you got just a local, uneducated girl who just
hangs with the gang members all day, you'd expect them
to say that, right, those are friends, those are boyfriends. No,
But this is this is doctor Cynthia Gonzalez. This is
(14:45):
doctor Cynthia Gonzalez, who's director of a program at UCLA.
This is somebody who's been a principal in the LA Unified.
This is somebody that the LA Times recommended that people
vote for to be on.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
The school board. And so then our tour of flores this.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Nutty, mayor of Huntington Park, says, these statements were really
taken out of context. All right, you put them back
into context. We didn't edit the videol she posted the
damn thing. It's her face on the video, extreme close
up extreme.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yes.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
I think maybe what she was trying to say is
that she wants the gang members to go out and
just be a presence in front of us.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I see with with.
Speaker 12 (15:32):
No weapons, no, just just just to stand there. So
then we maybe have misinterpreted.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What well, do you ever seeing a lot of gang
members without weapons?
Speaker 12 (15:44):
Unfortunately I haven't seen too many.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You don't go into the real neighborhoods. I try not
to know.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
You're high up on the on the hill. You know
what you said, doctor Gonzales. I love how they This
is like when everybody's trying to defend the Jill Biden
doctor by all these fake doctorate degrees, and you hear
her talk and uh, that's not a doctor. Doctor Gonzalez
(16:10):
is a good friend of mine, said Artura Flores. I've
known her for years and I know that she wouldn't
make a call to violence.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, is it possible she was drunk? Is it possible
she was on drugs.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I mean, if she really wouldn't he can't believe that
she would ever do such a thing, that it must
have been somehow maliciously edited video. Well, then I maybe
she's under the influence. Flores went on, he wouldn't quit, said,
the vice mayor has a track record of being a
public servants who has.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Helped steer youth away from gangs.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
What we tried looking for audio of this, but it
looks like he just made these statements off air or
off camera from uh for for CBS l A. She's
helped steer youth away from gangs. But the ones who
(17:05):
didn't get steered away, she's calling on them to come
and defend the city.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
She's encouraged.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Flores claims that she encouraged them to pursue higher education.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Now, the LA Police Protective League released the statement they
want Gonzales to resign and Cenif for Comics broke the law,
they should be prosecuted. And that's what the FBI is investigating,
and I imagine various government agencies are investigating. I don't
know if this is a case for Nathan Hackman, the
(17:43):
La County DA or Bill A. Saley, the US attorney,
And it depends on the specifics of the law, but
clearly to my mind, sounds like sounds like inciting a riot,
inciting harm, inciting violence against federal officers who, again at
(18:07):
the bottom of this, are trying to enforce the law.
This law has been around for decades, for hundreds of
years we've had immigration law. There is nothing illegal being
done here at all. And her comments could conceivably inspire
(18:29):
gang members to kill ice officers. And the statement from
the LA Police protectively says, quote what mis Gonzales urged
and taunted these specific gangs to do in her social
media posts puts police officers and other law enforcement professionals
at greater risk. Her actions are deplorable and potentially illegal,
(18:55):
and she ought to be prosecuted. As she said, FBI
came over her place yesterday. She posted this, and then
her Facebook account went private. She's asking for a lawyer,
though that's the last thing I'm aware of now. I
think if you put a post asking for gang members
(19:16):
to take on any kind of and you know, you know,
the local police would be involved. In the LA County
Sheriff's Department, for example, certainly because kut of Hey is
governed by the Sheriff's Department, so that's what this educator does.
Stellar La Times endorsement. As always, you're.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
Listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
We're on from one to four every day after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart App.
I hope the pressure continues on kuta Hey Vice mayor
Cynthia Gonzales. She should not be working in the education
system for LA Unified, She should not be involved in politics.
She should not even be free. I hope they can
(20:01):
find charges for Cynthia Gonzales after she called on two
major gangs to come to cut a hay and take
on ice Ice committing the sin of enforcing federal law. Uh,
that's that's a story We're not going to let go of.
There's there's got to be blown. There's got to be
some some serious consequences. Now, you know, the the era
(20:25):
of woke is over and I realize we are smothered
in woke policies and woke politicians, but it doesn't mean
it has to go on forever. It has to be
this extensive. When when when these woke people start calling
for violence against federal officers, then that's it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That that's that's way too far.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
And uh, shame on everybody and l A unified, and
shame on everybody in government in cuta haey for for
not immediately firing her. I know a lot of you
agree with what she said and would root for the
gang members against ICE, but try to understand that the
(21:06):
ICE officers have families too. They have wives and husbands
and kids and mothers and fathers and don't want to
see their heads blown off by gang members who had
bad parenting and they went through ignorant schools. So we'll
keep on top of that. Here's another piece of insanity.
(21:29):
Trump's Department of Education announced today that the California Department
of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation that's the agency
that governs the sports, they are violating the civil rights
of female students by allowing transgender students to compete in
(21:50):
school sports according to their gender identity. Absolutely, this is
one of the most important issues because they passed Title
nine in Congress way back in nineteen seventy two so
that girls would have a fair shot at competing and
excelling in sports, just like the boys. They had to
(22:10):
be funded, they had to have proper staffing and equipment
that you couldn't you couldn't show any favoritism. You had
to give the girls just as much of a chance.
And then here in California, Gavin Newsom sent in a
group of boys claiming to be girls to compete against
(22:32):
the real girls. And of course the boys claiming to
be girls ended up winning many of the races, ended
up winning championships, winning medals, and winning acclaim an applause
from the likes of the morons at the La Times.
So today the Secretary of Education, Lynda McMahon said that
(22:54):
California has to voluntarily agree and change unlawful practices with
in ten days or there will.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Be imminent enforcement action.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
So get the guys out of girl sports, stop being
unfair to girls, stop denying girls their successes, get the
guys out of there, let them run against their own kind.
And this is a great twist, Linda McMahon said. Although
Gavin Newsom admitted months ago is deeply unfair to allow
(23:26):
men to compete in women's sports, these departments continue as
recently as a few weeks ago, to allow men to
steal females athletes well deserved accolades and subject them to
the indignity of unfair and unsaved competitions. I think we
have enough examples of this, We have enough videotape of
(23:48):
what happens to girls who occasionally get brutalized by guys
who compete with them. And it should have ended. It
should never have started, but it should have ended a
long time ago. Now there's always there's apparently a large
number of dense, woke fools who still are very confused
by sexuality.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I think we all learned as a little kid, there
was there was one real basic difference. Guy means penis,
girl means vagina.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And all I have to do.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Is look and say, oh, that's a that's a boy,
that's a girl, that's a guy, that's that's a woman.
It's it can't be more simple, it can't be easier.
And somehow they made one of the easiest, one of
the easiest methods of identifying what a human is to
(24:42):
be so complicated. It's it's so wrong. But here's one
of these dense people, the Culver City Unified School Board
President Tristan as Adoor says that, uh, the Education Department's
finding does not protect women and girls, it harms them.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
How would that be.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
How're pulling guys out of a girls athletic event hurt
the girls? Explain that, I'm sure Tristan Isador can't. It
is impossible to understand where this obsession came from. It
just suddenly blew up, and almost everybody's against this. I
(25:28):
have yet to run into a real person in my
life or on the street who think that guys ought
to participate in girls sports.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It violates federal law.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
And this is going to be treated the same way
they're treating the illegal illegal immigration situation. Here's a chance corrected.
You think you're a sanctuary state, you're not. There's no
such thing. In fact, we're going to talk about that
with Tony Stricklett because he's got a law that he's
proposing that gets rid of sanctuary city designation because they
(26:01):
don't exist under federal law. And the same thing here,
this this idea of guys competing in girls sports, that's
not a thing. It's crazy. In fact, we're gonna have
Tony on coming up in just a few minutes. One
(26:21):
more thing just left over from our discussion on well
what's going on? Cut a Hay Bell Gardens, which is
nearby in La County. They are canceling their Fourth of
July celebration, including other public events, because they're worried about
ice Hispanic population of ninety six percent, which is a
(26:44):
great thing if people are legal, or they have green cards,
or they have some kind of visa or some kind
some kind of status. But apparently Bell Gardens is given
away the game here by saying, you know what, I
guess they're saying, we've got so many legal immigrants here
we can't even have a public public celebration of the
(27:04):
fourth of July. Isn't that ironic? All right, Well, we
come back. We're going to get Tony stricklan on and
he's the state Senator from Huntington Beach, and Tony has
a bill that would get rid of sanctuary city status
because again it's not a thing. Also about Governor Newsom
and Prop thirty six. Prop thirty six, you know, makes
(27:27):
stept the crime again, makes drugs a crime again, fentinyl
a crime for the first time. And one of the
cool things about the bill was that if you're on drugs.
You can get out of the charges by going for treatment.
Newsom won fund the treatment, WOOM fund the court system,
WOM fund probation because he hated Prop thirty six and
(27:49):
so he's funding it at a minimal amount. We'll talk
about all that coming up next.
Speaker 11 (27:54):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
You're not going to miss this because you're here already
and we have Tony Strickland coming on. We mentioned that
Tony has a new proposal, a new law that he
is suggesting that would repeal California's sanctuary state policies and
have the state law enforcement local law enforcement start to
(28:21):
start cooperating with ICE.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Let's get to Tony on here.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
He's the state senator in Orange County, former mayor of
Huntington Beach, Tony welcome.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Thanks for having me, John. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
This is pretty radical, and I'm sure they're going to
go for it. You know, most people don't know that
being a sanctuary state is not a thing. There's no
such federal designation. Everything they're doing has always been illegal.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Right, And as mayor of Huntington Beach, I declared that
our city was a non sanctuary city, which shouldn't have
to be done. But what it does is it led
to our law enforcement in Huntington Beach when I was
mayor to say, hey, the federal government comes in and
they want to enforce our immigration laws, but you work
with them in conjunction with them. What they do by
pac these sanctuary city laws and state laws is what
(29:12):
they're doing is trying to put law enforcement in the
way of not cooperating with the federal government. It really
puts them in a peculiar situation. The police chief of
Honeybeach thanked me after I passed the non sanctuary city
law because at the end of the day, we need
to work with the federal agents. The ice agents are
just trying to do their job, and when you're hearing
the other sides and there's chaos that people are coming
(29:34):
into swap meets or they're going to different locations to
do their job, well, it would be more precise if
we didn't have sanctuary city or sanctuary state laws and
they were able to work with federal agents to make
sure that we get people who are not supposed to
be here deported, and then those people who are committing
crime out of our country and make our communities safer
(29:54):
across the state of California. It should be a no brainer, but.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That for a law long time. If you let us
in to the prisons and the jails, as you know
they're being released, will come and pick them up. If
you let them go.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Free, then we have to go out into the towns
and look for them. And if they show up in
public places, it's also our duty to detain everybody else
who's illegal as well, including everybody else in the house.
They're family members, their friends. I mean, so Homan has
offered them an option to avoid some of this, and
(30:30):
they won't take it.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And they try to claim, oh, there's chaos at the
spot meet, or there's chaos because you know, I was
just doing their job and going after people who are
criminals who should not be in this country and deporting
them as they should. It's to be a socrate to
no one, to nobody. The President Trump is enforcing the
immigration laws. He campaigned on that issue. Whether you agree
(30:53):
with it or not, it was a corstone of his campaign.
He went overwhelmingly and unlike most politicians, he's fallen through
exactly and doing exactly what he said he was going
to do, and it should be a shocker to no one. Now,
what we need to do is get rid of these
sanctuary city and state laws and allow ICE in the
federal government work with local government, and that would cut
down on any chaos because then we can pinpoint the
(31:15):
exact people and deport the right people out. That makes
our community safer.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I think they want the chaos because they need five
for their arguments, So they're hoping for the chaos. What
do you make of them not finding some common ground
and at least helping ICE turn over the real criminal
illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Why won't they do that?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
They want the narrative. They want the narrative onto political issues, saying, oh,
you know, ICE is going door to door and deporting
everybody of color, even if you're here illegally. They want
that argument, and everybody knows it's not true. But you
know they're they're willing to actually make our communities less
(31:58):
safe and put people with lives in danger because these people,
that's what they are. They're criminals. They're people who go
out and kill people. They're putting our people in harm's
way and danger for their political agenda. And I always
say there's a famous sex Feld episode of George Castanza
where he says, if you want to be successful, do
the opposite of what you're in instincts are that's what
(32:20):
the legislature should do. We should just do the opposite
of these policies, because if we want a robust California
economy and if we want a safe California, we got
to do We got ahead in a one hundred and
eighty degree different direction and make the state golden again.
And the only way we're going to do that is
having strong leadership that points out the fact of the
matter is if you don't want chaos, get rid of
(32:41):
these sanctuary city and state laws and allow ice to
work in conjunction with our local authorities and make sure
there were precise and deport the people who are committing
crime here that are here illegally a right.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
One other issue, the Democrats have a budget out and
not much money for Prop thirty six. Just remind everybody
that passed better than two to one, and this makes
theft a.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Crime again, you go to prison. Drug crimes are real again.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
They created a whole raft of fential crimes and offering
treatment to the drug users so they don't have to
go to jail. You think we need four hundred million
dollars to fund this around the state? Newsom is giving
us the middle finger. Only one hundred million.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Well in, only one hundred million over three years.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Oh, that's worse three years, So you need we need
four hundred million a year. End of the day.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
It's the fact of the matter is he wants this
to fail. He doesn't want to make crime illegal again.
It passed every all fifty eight counties, seventy percent of
the vote. He's willing to spend seven hundred and fifty
million dollars on Bay Areas transit, but he's not willing
to spend four hundred million dollars to keep us safe
and throughout the neighborhoods of California on an issue that Democrats,
(33:58):
independence and Republicans for overwhelmingly. It's such a pathetic response,
and he just wants it to fail. He have zero
dollars zero for probation. That's a central part of Proposition
thirty six of success, and he wants it to fail.
And that's why he's only offering one hundred million dollars
over three years.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
He's giving he's really giving a billion dollars to high
speed rail? Is that true?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Well, the high spurail. What he did in the budget
he moved it from the general fund. And you know,
he's like trying to say, but again, one, we tripled
the spending on the on the general fund over the
last ten years. That's the number one. Number two, he
moved it into this what I call a flush fund,
this this cap and trade account. That's why we have
the increase in our gas tax. And he takes the
(34:45):
money from the gas tax to fund the high speed rail.
So he's moved a billion dollars from the general fund,
but he moved that billionaire to the cap and trade.
So we're still paying the tax. Players are still paying it,
but they're paying it out of the pump. And now
when you see July first, our gas price is going
up again the third year in row. With taxes. That's
what is going for for high speed rails. Fine plus
(35:07):
find for the heighsted rail.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
All right, Tony Strickland, State Senator from Huntington Beach, thank
you for coming on again.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I appreciate you having me.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
More.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
Coming up on the show, we've got Deborah Mark Litten,
the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening
to the John Covelt Show podcast. You can always hear
the show live on KFI Am six forty from one
to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course,
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
It's mandatory listening. If, however, there is some unforeseen circumstance
such as work, you could listen after the show is over.
We put it on the iHeart app, the podcast John
Cobelt Show on demand, and that's how you keep track
of everything. Well, we had a big day yesterday and
(00:26):
we are going to build a lot on yesterday's big day.
Bill Maluja, we have to give him full credit. From
Fox News. He found a clip online posted by the
vice mayor of Cutahy, Cynthia Gonzalez. Excuse me, doctor Cynthia Gonzalez, Well,
(00:47):
explain more of that in a moment. She's a woman
in her forties who has spent her lifetime in education
and she's the vice mayor and she posted a video
which she has since deleted, where she is calling on
local gang but local gangs to get together and defend
(01:10):
cut a Hay from ice. And this is really blown
up because she didn't take it down in time, Illusian
was able to get a copy of it posted it.
It's now all over the place and I was pleasantly
surprised to see many of the television stations run stories
on this.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I didn't think that was going to happen. I thought
this was going to be overlooked and buried. Oh I
didn't think so. Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
All right, Well, it's my cynical nature about the TV
news business. But this is this is great because she's
being exposed. Now let me see first, let's play the
video because you may not be aware of it if
you weren't listening later in the show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So this is the Vice Mayor Cynthia Gonzales.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Not for nothing, but.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I want to know where all the totos are at.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
In Los Angeles. Eighteenth Street Flowdancia. Where where's the leadership at?
Speaker 7 (02:05):
Because you guys are all about territory and this is eighteenth.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Street and this is Torrante. You they tag.
Speaker 8 (02:10):
Everything up, claiming hood, and now that your hood's being
invaded by the biggest gang there is, they're.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
In't a peep out of you. It's everyone else who's
not about the gang.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Life that's out there protesting and speaking up.
Speaker 9 (02:23):
We're out there like fighting our tur, protecting our tur
protecting our people, and like where you at, bin Kaya
vitos bin kayaditos, little toolito.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I'm like, dude, they're running a muck all up in.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Your on your streets, on your streets and in your city.
Speaker 8 (02:41):
And Pete when the big gang guns come in, nothing
but like, why we're out here, the regular ones that
have never been.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Jumped in out here calling things out. I'm trying to
organize people, trying to.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Do the thing. So don't be trying to claim no block,
no nothing.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
If you're not showing up right now trying to.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Like help out and organize, I don't want to hear a.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Peep out of you once they're gone, trying to claim
that this is my block.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
This was not your block. You weren't even here helping out.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
So whoever's the leadership over there, just can get your
members in order.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think you got that. She's calling the gangs out,
specifically the Eighteenth Street Gang and the Florencia Gang. Cuta Hay,
which is in southwest La County, is ninety seven percent Latino,
and I guess they have a lot of gang members,
and I guess the gang members belong to the Eighteenth
Street Group and the Florencia Group. And she's clearly calling
them out to combat ice. I don't know if there's
(03:36):
been raids in Cuta Hay specifically, but she wants everybody
armed and ready to go. What's funny is is the
way some of the news media says she allegedly called
on the gang members.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
No, she didn't let you you heard it that.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Those are her words on her video that she posted
on her social media accounts. I also saw seemingly here's
a quest question from the LA Times, did local council
women urge gangs to organize over ice raids?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Here's what we know.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
She's calling on armed gang members to get to cut
A Hay as quickly as possible to take on ice,
which means she wants them to murder ice if necessary,
wants them to murder ice officers.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
That's what she's calling for. Now.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I'm going to play you a few seconds of that
clip again. Eric, Let's just play and listen to the
quality of her voice and her accent and her sing
song delivery.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Let's just play a little bit of this.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Not for nothing, but I want to know where all
the trollers are at.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
In Los Angeles, Eighteenth Street, Florentia.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Where's the leadership at?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Because you guys are all about territory, and this is eighteenth.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Street and this is dord Anthea. You they tag everything up.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Paying Stop found out after the show, well, during the show,
that she's got three advanced degrees, two master's degrees, and
a doctorate degree in education, all from UCLA. And it
just struck me really weird that she would communicate that way.
I mean, she just sounded like an illiterate, ignorant street girl. Well,
(05:20):
I stayed late yesterday. I don't stay late often, but
the whole thing was bugging me, and I found her
Facebook account. It's not easy picking out a Cynthia Gonzalez.
There's a lot of them. But I don't know how
I discovered this, but she's under doctor Cynthia Gonzalez because
she has a doctorate from UCLA and education and she
(05:41):
wrote a dr capital C and spells at Cynthia. So
it's kind of hard to find if you're doing a
straight search. Well, she had a clip of herself from
June eleventh, speaking at a press conference hosted by Karen Bass.
Bass called together some of the La County mayors to
(06:02):
protest ICE. So Bass is in on this. This is
one of Bass's lieutenants. Listen to Cynthia Gonzalez and listen
to the way she spoke in public at this press conference.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Good morning everyone.
Speaker 10 (06:16):
My name's doctor Cynthia Gonzalez. I'm the vice mayor for
the city of Kadahe the Sela region, and although the
raids haven't happened in our small city, they are happening
in southeast.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Los Angeles pretty heavily. And we stand united. And I
also want to.
Speaker 10 (06:29):
Speak to Americans, especially to those who have allowed our
community to be the scapegoat of this administration that made
you feel that your American dream hasn't happened because of us.
I have a doctorate degree. All of us here are
successful and.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
We are educated with our.
Speaker 10 (06:49):
Community behind us, documented or not undocumented people, the communities
that we represent where I grew up, they did not
interfere at all with my ability to be successful or
achieve the American dream.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
If at all, they helped. They helped feed us.
Speaker 10 (07:04):
They helped take care of my daughter when I needed
babysitting and I couldn't have family members do it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
There are neighbors.
Speaker 10 (07:10):
We don't ask our neighbors whether they have documentation or not.
We are all united. And we are all here.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
And if you.
Speaker 10 (07:17):
Should have anger, it should be for the gutting of Medicaid,
it should be for the gutting of your social security,
and they should be for corporate greed, because that is
who they're after. And they're using our brown bodies to
avoid the conversation that this administration is a failure and
they do not know how to legislate.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Okay, well within the boundaries of a politician trying to
represent per people in the district, right, much more controlled,
much better use of language and longer words and all that.
Now again, listen to cut number one. Listen to what
this thing was not for nothing?
Speaker 5 (07:54):
But I want to know where all the trollers.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
Are at in Los Angeles, Eighteenth Street, florent where's the
leadership at, Because you guys are all.
Speaker 7 (08:02):
About territory and this is eighteenth Street and this is
sort anthony.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
You they tag everything up paming hood and now that your.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Hood's being invaded by the biggest.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Gang there is, there ain't a peep out of you.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
It's everyone else who's not about the gang.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
Life that's out there protesting and speaking up.
Speaker 11 (08:20):
All right.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Stop.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
A completely different version one is doctor Cynthia Gonzalez and
the other is street Cindy.
Speaker 12 (08:27):
Well, because she was obviously addressing gang members and so
she's stooping to their level. That's what she was doing.
If she sounded like she did the first clips that
you just played controlled and educated, right, then it went
have resonated. So she wanted to show that she's on
their side, she's.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
One of them.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I'm thinking that she have multiple personality distorted. I mean,
who is the real doctor Cynthia Gonzales.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Well, there is a thing called code switching. Yeah, I've
heard of that. Yeah, I uh.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's when you start speaking in the uh, corporate tone,
in corporate tone, and then you speak in a different
cadence and you speak more in a more relaxed manner.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, yeah, more slang.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And but I mean that was that was pretty shocking
when I saw her in the second video next to
the mayor.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Now, remember I told you Bass is intimately.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Involved with all these radical leftist groups that powered the riot.
I told you she was giving out and she's slick
at this. You have to really pay attention, and I
am onto her because when she gave out the recommendation
during the riots that if you're an illegal alien and
(09:37):
you think there's ice around called the Rapid Response Network
like it's some kind of city emergency helpline. The Rapid
Response Network is from Churla. Churla is an activist organization
that helps inspire the riot. They get thirty four million
dollars in California tax money to do things like facilitate riots,
(10:04):
and then they have this rapid response where if you
see ice, you're supposed to rat out ice. And then
I don't know, I guess, and then Cynthia Rodriguez sends
out the Eighteenth Street Gang in the Florencia Gang and
let them have a crack at ice. So the second
clip I played was Karen Vassi's press conference, and she
(10:25):
gave the microphone to doctor Cynthia Gonzales, who, by the way,
has been in education for twenty three years as a
teacher and administrator and a principal, and even was recently
named director of a program, some kind of educational equity
program at UCLA. Same one you heard doing her gang rap,
(10:50):
trying to get the local gangsters. Well, in fact, I
know so little about that culture. When I heard she's
calling out tou Cholo's I had to look at what
Cholos are. I thought that was a restaurant. Yes, Brichola's
are gangsters, but what do I know. I'm a Polish
guy from the suburbs. All Right, we got more coming up,
debor Mark live in the Cafe. You didn't know what
cholo was?
Speaker 12 (11:10):
Yes, oh, yes I did. But what I was going
to say was, have we heard anything from Karen Bass
about this video? Not so far, but I'll give another look.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Well you do that. I haven't seen anything. I haven't
seen anything either. This is another thing she's going to
hide from, like the fire.
Speaker 11 (11:26):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
So continuing with this uh wanna be gangster girl Cynthia Gonzalez.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
I mean this story.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Every time I went looking for new information, I was surprised.
I was shocked to see that this woman has got three,
well four degrees, three advanced degrees. She's got her normal
bachelor's and then she's got two master's degrees from ucl
and a doctorate from UCLA, all on the education field,
(12:04):
and for twenty three years, while she's raising kids, she's
been a teacher, administrator, a principal, and she's calling on.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
The young men who.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Have I guess, failed out of LA Unified and have
joined gangs. And she's asking him to come to cuta
hay and I assume bring their guns and start firing
at ice.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Officers if necessary.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And I'd never seen a public official do this. Oh
and just to point something else out, we found out
yesterday she ran for the LA Unified board, the school board.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
And the LA Times endorsed her.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Yes, the LA Times, out of I think ten candidates
thought she was the best.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
All she does is.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
Call for the murdering of federal lawn forestment agents. But
for the LA Times, yeah, that's our girl. Let me
read you some reaction here. Listen to this character, Huntington
Park mayor Arturo Flores. He spoke to CBS Los Angeles
(13:20):
doing a little uh, testified to her character. The statements
she made were really taken out of context.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
No, that was her video, that was her context, that
was her words.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Camera goes on, she starts talking, and then she comes
to an end and camera goes off.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Her social media site. It was not edited.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
She posted it. Play a little bit again, this is
not out of context. This is Cynthia Gonzales.
Speaker 5 (13:55):
Not for nothing, but I want to know where all
the trollers are.
Speaker 6 (13:58):
At in Los Angeles, Eighteenth Street, Florentia. Where's the leadership at,
Because you guys are all.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
About territory and this is eighteenth Street and this is
Lord Ante. You didn't tag everything.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Up claiming hood.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
And now that your hoo's being invaded by the biggest
gang there is.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, there a people.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Are you all right? I stop?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Now that your hood is being invaded by the biggest
gang there is.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
That's ice.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Hey you're always tagging things up, right, I mean that's vandalism,
but sure, it's just tagging things up. This is the
gang street mentality. And hey, you know, if you got
if you got just a local, uneducated girl who just
hangs with the gang members all day, you'd expect them
to say that, right, those are friends, those are boyfriends. No,
But this is this is doctor Cynthia Gonzalez. This is
(14:45):
doctor Cynthia Gonzalez, who's director of a program at UCLA.
This is somebody who's been a principal in the LA Unified.
This is somebody that the LA Times recommended that people
vote for to be on.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
The school board. And so then our tour of flores this.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Nutty, mayor of Huntington Park, says, these statements were really
taken out of context. All right, you put them back
into context. We didn't edit the videol she posted the
damn thing. It's her face on the video, extreme close
up extreme.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yes.
Speaker 12 (15:22):
I think maybe what she was trying to say is
that she wants the gang members to go out and
just be a presence in front of us.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
I see with with.
Speaker 12 (15:32):
No weapons, no, just just just to stand there. So
then we maybe have misinterpreted.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
What well, do you ever seeing a lot of gang
members without weapons?
Speaker 12 (15:44):
Unfortunately I haven't seen too many.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
You don't go into the real neighborhoods. I try not
to know.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
You're high up on the on the hill. You know
what you said, doctor Gonzales. I love how they This
is like when everybody's trying to defend the Jill Biden
doctor by all these fake doctorate degrees, and you hear
her talk and uh, that's not a doctor. Doctor Gonzalez
(16:10):
is a good friend of mine, said Artura Flores. I've
known her for years and I know that she wouldn't
make a call to violence.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, is it possible she was drunk? Is it possible
she was on drugs.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
I mean, if she really wouldn't he can't believe that
she would ever do such a thing, that it must
have been somehow maliciously edited video. Well, then I maybe
she's under the influence. Flores went on, he wouldn't quit, said,
the vice mayor has a track record of being a
public servants who has.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Helped steer youth away from gangs.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
What we tried looking for audio of this, but it
looks like he just made these statements off air or
off camera from uh for for CBS l A. She's
helped steer youth away from gangs. But the ones who
(17:05):
didn't get steered away, she's calling on them to come
and defend the city.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
She's encouraged.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Flores claims that she encouraged them to pursue higher education.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Now, the LA Police Protective League released the statement they
want Gonzales to resign and Cenif for Comics broke the law,
they should be prosecuted. And that's what the FBI is investigating,
and I imagine various government agencies are investigating. I don't
know if this is a case for Nathan Hackman, the
(17:43):
La County DA or Bill A. Saley, the US attorney,
And it depends on the specifics of the law, but
clearly to my mind, sounds like sounds like inciting a riot,
inciting harm, inciting violence against federal officers who, again at
(18:07):
the bottom of this, are trying to enforce the law.
This law has been around for decades, for hundreds of
years we've had immigration law. There is nothing illegal being
done here at all. And her comments could conceivably inspire
(18:29):
gang members to kill ice officers. And the statement from
the LA Police protectively says, quote what mis Gonzales urged
and taunted these specific gangs to do in her social
media posts puts police officers and other law enforcement professionals
at greater risk. Her actions are deplorable and potentially illegal,
(18:55):
and she ought to be prosecuted. As she said, FBI
came over her place yesterday. She posted this, and then
her Facebook account went private. She's asking for a lawyer,
though that's the last thing I'm aware of now. I
think if you put a post asking for gang members
(19:16):
to take on any kind of and you know, you know,
the local police would be involved. In the LA County
Sheriff's Department, for example, certainly because kut of Hey is
governed by the Sheriff's Department, so that's what this educator does.
Stellar La Times endorsement. As always, you're.
Speaker 11 (19:35):
Listening to John Cobel's on Demand from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
We're on from one to four every day after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart App.
I hope the pressure continues on kuta Hey Vice mayor
Cynthia Gonzales. She should not be working in the education
system for LA Unified, She should not be involved in politics.
She should not even be free. I hope they can
(20:01):
find charges for Cynthia Gonzales after she called on two
major gangs to come to cut a hay and take
on ice Ice committing the sin of enforcing federal law. Uh,
that's that's a story We're not going to let go of.
There's there's got to be blown. There's got to be
some some serious consequences. Now, you know, the the era
(20:25):
of woke is over and I realize we are smothered
in woke policies and woke politicians, but it doesn't mean
it has to go on forever. It has to be
this extensive. When when when these woke people start calling
for violence against federal officers, then that's it.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That that's that's way too far.
Speaker 3 (20:45):
And uh, shame on everybody and l A unified, and
shame on everybody in government in cuta haey for for
not immediately firing her. I know a lot of you
agree with what she said and would root for the
gang members against ICE, but try to understand that the
(21:06):
ICE officers have families too. They have wives and husbands
and kids and mothers and fathers and don't want to
see their heads blown off by gang members who had
bad parenting and they went through ignorant schools. So we'll
keep on top of that. Here's another piece of insanity.
(21:29):
Trump's Department of Education announced today that the California Department
of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation that's the agency
that governs the sports, they are violating the civil rights
of female students by allowing transgender students to compete in
(21:50):
school sports according to their gender identity. Absolutely, this is
one of the most important issues because they passed Title
nine in Congress way back in nineteen seventy two so
that girls would have a fair shot at competing and
excelling in sports, just like the boys. They had to
(22:10):
be funded, they had to have proper staffing and equipment
that you couldn't you couldn't show any favoritism. You had
to give the girls just as much of a chance.
And then here in California, Gavin Newsom sent in a
group of boys claiming to be girls to compete against
(22:32):
the real girls. And of course the boys claiming to
be girls ended up winning many of the races, ended
up winning championships, winning medals, and winning acclaim an applause
from the likes of the morons at the La Times.
So today the Secretary of Education, Lynda McMahon said that
(22:54):
California has to voluntarily agree and change unlawful practices with
in ten days or there will.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Be imminent enforcement action.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
So get the guys out of girl sports, stop being
unfair to girls, stop denying girls their successes, get the
guys out of there, let them run against their own kind.
And this is a great twist, Linda McMahon said. Although
Gavin Newsom admitted months ago is deeply unfair to allow
(23:26):
men to compete in women's sports, these departments continue as
recently as a few weeks ago, to allow men to
steal females athletes well deserved accolades and subject them to
the indignity of unfair and unsaved competitions. I think we
have enough examples of this, We have enough videotape of
(23:48):
what happens to girls who occasionally get brutalized by guys
who compete with them. And it should have ended. It
should never have started, but it should have ended a
long time ago. Now there's always there's apparently a large
number of dense, woke fools who still are very confused
by sexuality.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I think we all learned as a little kid, there
was there was one real basic difference. Guy means penis,
girl means vagina.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
And all I have to do.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Is look and say, oh, that's a that's a boy,
that's a girl, that's a guy, that's that's a woman.
It's it can't be more simple, it can't be easier.
And somehow they made one of the easiest, one of
the easiest methods of identifying what a human is to
(24:42):
be so complicated. It's it's so wrong. But here's one
of these dense people, the Culver City Unified School Board
President Tristan as Adoor says that, uh, the Education Department's
finding does not protect women and girls, it harms them.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
How would that be.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
How're pulling guys out of a girls athletic event hurt
the girls? Explain that, I'm sure Tristan Isador can't. It
is impossible to understand where this obsession came from. It
just suddenly blew up, and almost everybody's against this. I
(25:28):
have yet to run into a real person in my
life or on the street who think that guys ought
to participate in girls sports.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
It violates federal law.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
And this is going to be treated the same way
they're treating the illegal illegal immigration situation. Here's a chance corrected.
You think you're a sanctuary state, you're not. There's no
such thing. In fact, we're going to talk about that
with Tony Stricklett because he's got a law that he's
proposing that gets rid of sanctuary city designation because they
(26:01):
don't exist under federal law. And the same thing here,
this this idea of guys competing in girls sports, that's
not a thing. It's crazy. In fact, we're gonna have
Tony on coming up in just a few minutes. One
(26:21):
more thing just left over from our discussion on well
what's going on? Cut a Hay Bell Gardens, which is
nearby in La County. They are canceling their Fourth of
July celebration, including other public events, because they're worried about
ice Hispanic population of ninety six percent, which is a
(26:44):
great thing if people are legal, or they have green cards,
or they have some kind of visa or some kind
some kind of status. But apparently Bell Gardens is given
away the game here by saying, you know what, I
guess they're saying, we've got so many legal immigrants here
we can't even have a public public celebration of the
(27:04):
fourth of July. Isn't that ironic? All right, Well, we
come back. We're going to get Tony stricklan on and
he's the state Senator from Huntington Beach, and Tony has
a bill that would get rid of sanctuary city status
because again it's not a thing. Also about Governor Newsom
and Prop thirty six. Prop thirty six, you know, makes
(27:27):
stept the crime again, makes drugs a crime again, fentinyl
a crime for the first time. And one of the
cool things about the bill was that if you're on drugs.
You can get out of the charges by going for treatment.
Newsom won fund the treatment, WOOM fund the court system,
WOM fund probation because he hated Prop thirty six and
(27:49):
so he's funding it at a minimal amount. We'll talk
about all that coming up next.
Speaker 11 (27:54):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
You're not going to miss this because you're here already
and we have Tony Strickland coming on. We mentioned that
Tony has a new proposal, a new law that he
is suggesting that would repeal California's sanctuary state policies and
have the state law enforcement local law enforcement start to
(28:21):
start cooperating with ICE.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Let's get to Tony on here.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
He's the state senator in Orange County, former mayor of
Huntington Beach, Tony welcome.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Thanks for having me, John. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
This is pretty radical, and I'm sure they're going to
go for it. You know, most people don't know that
being a sanctuary state is not a thing. There's no
such federal designation. Everything they're doing has always been illegal.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Right, And as mayor of Huntington Beach, I declared that
our city was a non sanctuary city, which shouldn't have
to be done. But what it does is it led
to our law enforcement in Huntington Beach when I was
mayor to say, hey, the federal government comes in and
they want to enforce our immigration laws, but you work
with them in conjunction with them. What they do by
pac these sanctuary city laws and state laws is what
(29:12):
they're doing is trying to put law enforcement in the
way of not cooperating with the federal government. It really
puts them in a peculiar situation. The police chief of
Honeybeach thanked me after I passed the non sanctuary city
law because at the end of the day, we need
to work with the federal agents. The ice agents are
just trying to do their job, and when you're hearing
the other sides and there's chaos that people are coming
(29:34):
into swap meets or they're going to different locations to
do their job, well, it would be more precise if
we didn't have sanctuary city or sanctuary state laws and
they were able to work with federal agents to make
sure that we get people who are not supposed to
be here deported, and then those people who are committing
crime out of our country and make our communities safer
(29:54):
across the state of California. It should be a no brainer, but.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
That for a law long time. If you let us
in to the prisons and the jails, as you know
they're being released, will come and pick them up. If
you let them go.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Free, then we have to go out into the towns
and look for them. And if they show up in
public places, it's also our duty to detain everybody else
who's illegal as well, including everybody else in the house.
They're family members, their friends. I mean, so Homan has
offered them an option to avoid some of this, and
(30:30):
they won't take it.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And they try to claim, oh, there's chaos at the
spot meet, or there's chaos because you know, I was
just doing their job and going after people who are
criminals who should not be in this country and deporting
them as they should. It's to be a socrate to
no one, to nobody. The President Trump is enforcing the
immigration laws. He campaigned on that issue. Whether you agree
(30:53):
with it or not, it was a corstone of his campaign.
He went overwhelmingly and unlike most politicians, he's fallen through
exactly and doing exactly what he said he was going
to do, and it should be a shocker to no one. Now,
what we need to do is get rid of these
sanctuary city and state laws and allow ICE in the
federal government work with local government, and that would cut
down on any chaos because then we can pinpoint the
(31:15):
exact people and deport the right people out. That makes
our community safer.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I think they want the chaos because they need five
for their arguments, So they're hoping for the chaos. What
do you make of them not finding some common ground
and at least helping ICE turn over the real criminal
illegal aliens.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Why won't they do that?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
They want the narrative. They want the narrative onto political issues, saying, oh,
you know, ICE is going door to door and deporting
everybody of color, even if you're here illegally. They want
that argument, and everybody knows it's not true. But you
know they're they're willing to actually make our communities less
(31:58):
safe and put people with lives in danger because these people,
that's what they are. They're criminals. They're people who go
out and kill people. They're putting our people in harm's
way and danger for their political agenda. And I always
say there's a famous sex Feld episode of George Castanza
where he says, if you want to be successful, do
the opposite of what you're in instincts are that's what
(32:20):
the legislature should do. We should just do the opposite
of these policies, because if we want a robust California
economy and if we want a safe California, we got
to do We got ahead in a one hundred and
eighty degree different direction and make the state golden again.
And the only way we're going to do that is
having strong leadership that points out the fact of the
matter is if you don't want chaos, get rid of
(32:41):
these sanctuary city and state laws and allow ice to
work in conjunction with our local authorities and make sure
there were precise and deport the people who are committing
crime here that are here illegally a right.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
One other issue, the Democrats have a budget out and
not much money for Prop thirty six. Just remind everybody
that passed better than two to one, and this makes
theft a.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
Crime again, you go to prison. Drug crimes are real again.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
They created a whole raft of fential crimes and offering
treatment to the drug users so they don't have to
go to jail. You think we need four hundred million
dollars to fund this around the state? Newsom is giving
us the middle finger. Only one hundred million.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Well in, only one hundred million over three years.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Oh, that's worse three years, So you need we need
four hundred million a year. End of the day.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
It's the fact of the matter is he wants this
to fail. He doesn't want to make crime illegal again.
It passed every all fifty eight counties, seventy percent of
the vote. He's willing to spend seven hundred and fifty
million dollars on Bay Areas transit, but he's not willing
to spend four hundred million dollars to keep us safe
and throughout the neighborhoods of California on an issue that Democrats,
(33:58):
independence and Republicans for overwhelmingly. It's such a pathetic response,
and he just wants it to fail. He have zero
dollars zero for probation. That's a central part of Proposition
thirty six of success, and he wants it to fail.
And that's why he's only offering one hundred million dollars
over three years.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
He's giving he's really giving a billion dollars to high
speed rail? Is that true?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Well, the high spurail. What he did in the budget
he moved it from the general fund. And you know,
he's like trying to say, but again, one, we tripled
the spending on the on the general fund over the
last ten years. That's the number one. Number two, he
moved it into this what I call a flush fund,
this this cap and trade account. That's why we have
the increase in our gas tax. And he takes the
(34:45):
money from the gas tax to fund the high speed rail.
So he's moved a billion dollars from the general fund,
but he moved that billionaire to the cap and trade.
So we're still paying the tax. Players are still paying it,
but they're paying it out of the pump. And now
when you see July first, our gas price is going
up again the third year in row. With taxes. That's
what is going for for high speed rails. Fine plus
(35:07):
find for the heighsted rail.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
All right, Tony Strickland, State Senator from Huntington Beach, thank
you for coming on again.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
I appreciate you having me.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
More.
