Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Well, if you're suffering and
the palisades are out to DNA, you have no idea
what to do. You're underinsured, uninsured, you don't have any power.
You figure the water is poisoned. You don't know whether
(00:22):
to sell out to the first offer you get. You're
probably confused and upset and looking for some advice. Well, sorry,
you're not important enough. Steve Soberoff, who's running the City
of La recovery effort, gave advice on all those topics,
(00:43):
but only to some Hollywood entertainment agents on a private
zoom call. They got sober Off's recommendation what to do
about your real estate, about your water issues, and about
your rebuilding problems. He talked privately to people that he
knows well and who has a lot of money, part
(01:04):
of the inner circle in Los Angeles, and he and
Bass say very little useful publicly to the rest of
people suffering. And I'll explain this because Washington Free Beacon
has the audio recording of this private zoom call that
sober Off gave. He's very explicit with them but as
(01:27):
far as anybody in the city or the county explaining
the atrocious response to these fires and now all the
atrocious decisions made just in the last few days, we'll
get to all that this hour. But first, Trump is
making news about every hour when it comes to illegal immigration,
(01:49):
and he sent down an executive order recently to end
birthright citizenship, the idea that just because you're born in
the US, you automatically become a citizen. No matter what
he thinks that if you're born to illegal aliens here
you should not get citizenship. His order got blocked in
the courts, but he's going to be pursuing this a
lot farther. And to try to explain it, we thought
(02:11):
we'd have Royal Oaks on ABC News legal analytic analyst, Royal,
how are you.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'm doing great? John, how are you?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I'm good? Explain the way the Constitution is currently interpreted
by the Supreme Court regarding birthright citizenship. If two illegal
aliens come to California and they have a baby, the
baby's automatically a citizen, right.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well, we really don't know how the Supreme Court would
answer that question. They tried to answer it over one
hundred years ago. But this case is a little weird.
You know, you have to go to the actual language.
Fourteenth Amendment says that all persons born in the United
States are citizens of the United States if they are
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Now what
does that mean. Basically, it means your undivided loyalty and
(02:59):
allegiance has to be to the US. And Donald Trump
interprets this key phrase subject to the jurisdiction to mean
that if you're here illegally, you don't have unbribled loyalty
to the United States. You're here illegally, you're a citizen
of another country, and so your kid should not automatically
be a citizen. So that's the heart of his argument.
(03:22):
But as you suggest, already a bunch of lawsuits have
been filed a federal court in the Washington State as
a lawsuit, and a judge, Judge Coffin Hour, he has
already said Trump's position is blakfully unconstitutional, and of course
he's going to rule against Trump, and it's going to
go up to the Ninth Circuit. They're going to rule
against Trump. So the only hope is the Supreme Court.
(03:43):
This guy, by the way, is eighty three. He was
appointed by Reagan in nineteen eighty one, so he's one
year older than Joe Biden and he absolutely thinks Trump
is all wet on this issue.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, this interpretation has been around since the eighteen hundreds, right.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, exactly. And the decision I was referring to is
eighteen ninety eight. And it's a decision where you had
two parents and they are American citizens and they have
a kid, and the US Supreme Court said, well, the
kid was born here, and so the kid is a citizen.
But and so this decision is being cited by the
critics of Trump. But the key is the parents in
(04:21):
that case from eighteen ninety eight were not illegals. They
were here and they had a right to be here
on a long term basis as non citizens. So there
is no case where the US Supreme Court has said
as to a situation where the parents are illegal they
have a baby here in America. They've tried to sort
through things like, well, what if you're a kid at
a diplomat you know, you're an ambassador from England and you're
(04:43):
Hair Washington, d C. Young kid, the kid is not
an American citizen because his parents didn't have, you know,
loyalty to the US. If you're a kid of an
enemy soldier who happens to be on Saint Louis and
you have a baby, you're not an American citizen because
your parents are loyal to Luxemburg or whoever was invading it.
(05:04):
It used to be American Indians when they would have
a baby, the court said, well, no, those babies are
not American citizens because the parents are part of sovereign
tribal nations. Congress changed that later on, but the result
is it's a thorny problem. But you know, John, the
problem for Trump is three of the justices in the
(05:24):
Supreme Court or liberals, so they're.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Going to vote against him.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
All they need are two more justices. Now they're not
going to get Alito or Thomas, but that still leaves
four justices and all the liberals need are two to
support the idea that, yeah, birthright citizenship should include the
kids of the illegal parents.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, and it's been controversial for decades because of all
the illegal immigration, and many parents want to come here
in order to have their baby on US soil because
now the baby gets the family access to all kinds
of financial benefits from the state.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh absolutely, I mean this birthright or tourism involving berths.
A lot of folks come over and they stay in
a hotel, they go to the Ramada Inn for the
sole purpose of having the baby in the Inland Empire,
so that the baby can be an American citizen. So
in addition to this lawsuit up in the federal court
(06:21):
in Washington, you've got a bunch of other suits. The
ACLU has sued in Massachusetts. Five pregnant women have sued
in court in Maryland saying, hey, we want a declaration
our babies are going to be here legally. So there
are a lot of attacks on Trump's position and so
at the end of the day, it can take a
year or two to sort it out in the lower
court and then the Intermediate Court of Appeals, but probably
(06:44):
the US Supreme Court is going to get the final
lord on this, but it'll be a couple of years
into Donald Trump's term.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
All right, very good, Royal Oaks, thank you for coming
on and explaining all that you bet, thank you, all right,
talk to you soon, Royal Oaks from ABC News. When
we come back. Steve sober Off. He's been a buddy
of Karen Bass for a long time, big supporter, and
is trying to bail Bass out out of this disaster.
(07:11):
And so he's he speaks with two faces. The private
Steve Soberoff is telling rich, connected Hollywood insiders how to
handle a situation where their house is burned down. They
may be getting low ball offers from buyers and developers.
(07:33):
They don't know whether to trust the DWP when it
comes to the quality of the water. They don't know
what the timeline is going to be for government money
to come in. With the Palisades, you know, everybody's frozen
because nobody is sure what's going to happen next. Well,
sober Off is offering advice privately to these people that
he hasn't said publicly to the rest of the Palisades residents,
(07:56):
which I find fascinating because a lot of Pallas Edg's
residents don't have the connections and the money that these
Hollywood executives do. We're talking agents here, and they don't
get sober Off's wisdom, like for whether they should bathe
their babies in the DWP water. We'll tell you all
(08:17):
about this and we'll also talk about sober Off trying
to shut down criticism. They've been doing this publicly and
they're doing it privately. They don't want a discussion on
all the huge mistakes made by Karen Bass, Kristin Crowley,
the fire chief, and all these other public officials over
(08:37):
the last month, and they keep making more and more
huge mistakes. We'll tell you all about this coming up next.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We talked about some of this early in the show,
and we've got more on it, just to summarize if
you're joining us. The Washington Free Beacon is a news
outlet in Washington, d C. And they got an audio
recording of a private zoom meeting between Steve sober Off
and a number of Hollywood agents, wealthy connected Hollywood people.
(09:17):
They got the private call with Steve sober Off. Sober
Off is running the recovery effort for Karen Bass. Big
supporter of Karen Bass. He's been a civic leader for
decades in LA. He's run for mayor, He's on the
police Commission. He was a developer involved in building the
Staples Center and similar trajectory to what Rick Caruso has,
(09:41):
and sober Off is Karen Bass's buddy, and she keeps
screwing up. Over the weekend, she decided that she was
going to open up the Palisades to the public and
take away the National Guard, and everybody in the Alisades
started screaming because that means it would have been a
(10:03):
looting festival. Incredibly stupid decision. The stupid decisions keep on coming.
We told you earlier that in Malibu, the EPA wants
to take all the toxic debris and pile it up
near Malibu City Hall, just down the block from a
number of schools. For all the empty land the federal
(10:23):
government owns in the United States of America, it wanted
to use a lot next to the Civic Center for
all kinds of hazardous waste paint, bleach, asbestos, propane tanks,
and lithium ion batteries that they've removed from the burn zone.
Everybody started screaming about that. But go back to sober
(10:44):
Off here for a second. If you're struggling in the
Palisades or Alta Dina, you're wondering, Wow, I'm already getting calls.
People want to buy my land cheap? Should I just
sell it and get out of here? How long is
it going to take, what kind of aid is going
to come from the various government levels? And what about
the water? For example? Can we trust the water? Can
(11:05):
you drink the water? Sober Off doesn't explain all this
to the public. To the general Palisades residents, he and
Bass have been largely silent isolated. But if you're one
of his buddies from the entertainment industry, executives and staff
(11:27):
from three elite Hollywood talent agencies according to the Free Beacon,
Willie Morris Agency, CIA Creative Artist Agency, the UTA, ty
United Talent Agency, they hosted it and so they got
the special session with sober Off. Among them was the
UTA vice chair, Jay Schurez, who represents, for example, Jake
(11:48):
Tapper from CNN. Another executive was a William Morris partner
named Richard Welts, who represents Tina fay, Seth MacFarlane and
Ricky Gervais. So you get the idea here, this is
not a meeting that's open to you. And Soberoffs was
recommending that you hold on to your properties in the
(12:09):
Palisades because you'll be able to triple your money in
about a year, whether you're a broker year old, don't
sell now, because in one year, we're going to be
putting billions of dollars into your neighborhood of improvements. You'll
get triple what these guys are offering you for now,
he told them privately. Did he tell the rest of
the Palisades residents publicly? No, if they sell out too early,
(12:35):
they wouldn't know any better, right, they don't have Steve
Soberoff as a private advisor. Sobaroff also claimed half our
labor could get deported before the Palisades is rebuilt, which
could be extremely expensive. So he's all in favor of
all the illegal immigration. And what he doesn't realize. What
(12:55):
he's saying is, hey, you know, the labor is cheaper
because those ego alien workers are exploited by the people
who employ them. They work for below market wages, and
you don't want to disrupt that. It's easy when you're
a multimillionaire like sober Off. It's easy to say, hey, hey,
(13:17):
let them work at those below market wages because my
construction costs will be cheaper. Construction costs, he says, are
going to be high. The demand for commodities is going
to be high. The demand for labor, whether or not
half our labor is deported, it's going to be high.
And then he turned to the DWP, saying, just because
(13:39):
the DWP says your water is safe, has somebody tested
before you move back in. And when they say drinking water,
use bottled water, what they don't say is don't bathe
your baby in their water. Don't take a bath in
the water, don't take a shower, don't do your dishes,
don't do your laundry. You don't want to do anything
with that water until it's deemed safe. And if you
(14:00):
could afford it, I would get an independent agency. Or
maybe there's a kid at CBS that tells you your
water is safe. If you could afford it, get an
independent agency. See a lot of the people in the
Palisades inherited their homes from their parents or grandparents. They
don't They aren't necessarily multimillionaires. Even if their property is
(14:23):
worth a lot. Without that property, they're not worth so much.
And he then went on to criticize anybody who wants
to bring up the issues which have created such a
hell here in Los Angeles, all the thallops of government.
(14:44):
He's telling people not to discuss it. I'll explain it's
about the Yes bus and the No bus that's coming up.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
We're in the middle of going through this Washington Free Beacon.
This story. It's a news outlet in Washington, d C.
That got a hold of an audio recording of a
private zoom call that Steve Soberoff, who's Karen Bass's recovery chief.
He's in charge of the recovery from the fires, and
he had this private audience telling these wealthy guys who
(15:21):
worked for the Hollywood talent agencies like William Morris, CIA
and UTA that they ought to hold on to their homes.
In a year, it'll be worth triple because there's going
to be so much money being poured into the palisades.
You shouldn't drink the DWP water. How come he's telling
his friends not to drink the DWP water and not
(15:43):
to bathe their babies, but the rest of the public
isn't given the same warning. If that's what he believes,
why doesn't he and Karen Bass at the press conference,
tell us not to drink the water. This is crazy,
absolutely crazy. At some point he made it clear that
(16:06):
he doesn't want to hear criticism. There are only two
busses here. One's t yes, which I'm on, and one
is the bus to know. And the bus to know
is looking for reasons why this happened, looking at the politicians,
looking at the reservoir, looking at the science. All that's okay.
(16:27):
It's just that I can't spend any time on that,
and he doesn't want anyone else to either. He told
these rich Hollywood guys that they should wait five or
six months for a report on what actually happened. Five
or six months, so it maybe some time in July.
(16:48):
They're gonna tell us why the fire chief kept a
thousand firefighters off duty and dozens of fire engines. And
they're gonna tell us why janiez Is didn't fill the
one hundred plus million gallon reservoir. They're gonna tell us
why they didn't preposition fire trucks and firefighters up in
(17:12):
the hills when there were this ex there's extreme fire warning.
It's six months. We're gonna find out why Karen Bass
thought it was more important to being Ghana than to
be running emergency operations here six months. You know, what
they want is everybody to forget to the passions to
die down, people to lose interest, and then have the
(17:35):
have it, have it come out in six months, Oh
you know, maybe like the July fourth weekend. Maybe, uh,
you know, right before a long weekend, so the news
coverage is minimum and people are not in the mood. Yeah, okay, yeah,
I remember, I remember that fire. Sure, that's what they want,
and they want to get away with it. They want
to keep their jobs. Niece Canonias wants to keep that
(17:56):
three quarters of a million dollar salary. Karen Bass wants
to keep her sorry job as mayor. She's got more
trips to go on. That's why she took the job.
They take these jobs for the junkets. Otherwise they would
never have a job where they could afford that kind
of travel. That's why it was so more important to
be in Africa than in the Palisades. So he told
(18:21):
them wait five or six months, and in the meantime,
get on the bus to Yes. In other words, look ahead,
don't look backwards. I've never seen anything like this, worst
disaster in American history. Worst fire disaster in American history
for a single city. Well, let's forget about it at uh,
(18:43):
let's not play the blame game. No finger pointing, you know,
no Monday morning quarterbacking, no more second guessing, all the phrases.
See what they do is they f up really really
bad and they kill people, and they cause billions of
dollars the damage. They ruined people's lives, and it's like
all right, all right, yeah, yeah, okay, no figure pointing. No,
(19:06):
they have all these they have all these phrases to
intimidate you from holding them accountable. They don't want to
be held accountable. They want to go on with their lives.
That's infuriating. You ruin the lives of tens of thousands
of people, You killed people, You're bankrupting people. He admits
(19:26):
that there's probably hardly anybody is going to have enough
insurance money to cover the rebuild that most people, there's
gonna be a gap. Uh. But he says, if you
do this kind of criticizing, you're on the bus to know.
(19:48):
He says it'll take five years for people to rebuild
their homes. One of the agents, Jay sure Is, started
complaining about Los Angeles us permitting process, which holds everything up.
Sure has said everything has been a joke, the whole
process of permitting in the city of la And Soberoff
(20:11):
interrupted and said, I thought you said this wasn't going
to be political. Now I want you on the bus
to yes please. I want you on the bus to
yes please. That's not political. He's pointing out that the
city government is broken, their permitting process is broken, and
normal people can't get what they need to accelerate the rebuild.
(20:34):
Uh oh, looks like you're on the bus to know.
If I were you, i'd get off that bus right now,
as to yes is gone this way, and we're not
going to come and pick you up. He's treating people
like they're all eight years old. What a bully, What
a bloviating bully. Then he goes on to say sober
(20:54):
Off says that only five percent of Palisade's residents can
afford their house now because most of them inherited the
house from their parents or grandparents, or they bought their
houses a long time ago before the constriction and real
estate price is skyrocketed. He said, the costs are going
to be nuts nuts one thousand to twelve hundred per
(21:17):
square foot to rebuild a thousand to twelve hundred. There's
no one in the Palisades who won't have a gap
between what their insurance policies will pay out and the
costs to reconstruct their homes. He doesn't know what kind
of money will be available to make up the shortfalls,
but he said the best thing is to get your
building plans together higher legal help. Oh yeah, you got
(21:39):
to hire your own water testing company, and then you've
got to hire your own law firm to help negotiate
with the insurance companies. Boy, is this guy out of touch.
This guy has been living rich for so long he
can only talk to rich people on the phone to
explain how difficult recovery is going to be. And then
he told them to hold on to their lots and
don't accept the low ball offers. Oh, and then he
(22:02):
says he's going to wrap up his duties within ninety
days and turn them over to turn the recovery over
to engineering firms. So he's out of here. Because you know,
this job doesn't pay, it's volunteer. Do you believe this?
This is the guy Karen Bass picked. He can't wait
to say, Hey, I'm out of here in ninety days,
and make sure you're on the bus to Yes, he
(22:23):
doesn't want to hear any criticism. The whole problem with
rebuilding is you can't get the permits. Whether there's a fire,
disaster or not, you can't get permits because the bureaucracy
in Los Angeles is so clotted and congested and made
up of so many stupid people who work in government,
(22:44):
And basically it's a legal shakedown. They just want to
shake down all kinds of fees and fines from you.
Oh that's the bust to know. I'm sorry, the bust
to know isn't running anymore. Oh my god, the arrogance
and the pompousness of it all. There's dead people. Hey,
if I had if I had somebody who burned to
(23:06):
death in my family, can I can I raise my
hand to talk about it? No? No, that's the bus
to know. I'm bankrupt. I didn't have. Oh, by the way,
I got to reiterate what we heard yesterday. The insurance
companies pulled out in before the fire because they had
(23:27):
done their own investigation and they knew that the reservoir
sent in as reservoir was empty. They knew that, and
they looked at the brush build up, and they knew
the brush wasn't cleared by the government, So they knew
if a fire happened, happened, it would be devastating, it
would be extremely destructive. That's why they were cutting off
(23:51):
people's insurance. Of course, Steve, Steve Soberoff didn't give it
even a warning to his wealthy buddies about that. How
come the public know what the insurance companies do? How
come Karen Bass and Steve Soberoff didn't know. Why didn't
they know? Why didn't they tell everybody, Hey, you don't
have insurance because it is so dangerous. Right now? We
(24:12):
have fire hydrants from nineteen the nineteen forties. There was
another story of the New York Times today, fire hydrants
from the nineteen forties, a reservoir, completely empty, brush built
up on all kinds of government land. And to talk
(24:32):
about it publicly, Oh, that's the bus to know. Oh,
don't trust the water. But yeah, the writer for this
story in the Washington Free Beacon is going to come
on the show tomorrow, So I guess you know what
the bus is going to board tomorrow, The bus to know.
(24:54):
Soberoff doesn't want to be held accountable. Neither is Karen Bass,
Neither is jeniez Kinonyez, neither all those bastards on the
La City Council who never funded the fire department. The
fire chief doesn't want to be held accountable. They all
want just wait for the after action report. That's the
phrase I keep here. Yes, we're gonna have an after
action report in six months, you know, during the July
(25:15):
fourth weekend, maybe when some of you were out of
the country. She goes out of the country during high
fire season. You'll go out of the country in the
summertime maybe, And that's when Karen Vassil released the report.
A bunch of cowards, huh, A bunch of absolute cowards, death, bankruptcy, destruction,
(25:37):
people's lives ruined for many years, and to even ask
about it, that's the bus to know. Wow. And she's
running around trying to strip the National Guard out of
the palisades, let the looters. In mean time, the EPA
(26:00):
is dumping all the toxic debris at the Malibu Civic Center.
I don't know what to do about this, but you've
done a real great job voting for this crew. Holy moly,
more coming up.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Forty Conway coming up in minutes. So we learned today
that California, rather, I should be specific, the city of
Los Angeles, seventeen percent of the fire hydrants are from
the nineteen forties. They have two and a half inch
water outlets, and the standard is four inches now twenty
(26:48):
four percent of the fire hydrants in the Palisades, twenty
four percent are from the nineteen forties. With these small
two and a half inch outlets, with four inches, you
get much greater waterflow. Obviously, there was never any money
spent to buy new fire hydrants. And then I looked
(27:10):
today and in Sacramento, the California Assembly is trying to
pass fifty million dollars still to trunk proof the state.
They started this project and then the fires hit and
(27:31):
they were embarrassed because we found out there's no funding
for the fire department. Right the LA Fire Department is
only half funded. Nobody even turned on a hose to
fill up the one hundred million gallon reservoir. Fire hydrants
are from the nineteen forties. Nobody is spent on clearing
(27:54):
the brush around and by the way, this goes for
all all right. I've been focusing on the Palisades because
the fires were there, But in all the other towns
on both sides of the Santa Monica Mountains, the brush
isn't being cleared. Much of it is on various government lands.
But you could go to the east, you know, all
the way past Hollywood, and the brush isn't being cleared.
(28:16):
Nor is it being cleared in the San Fernando Valley
along the mountains. But they've got two bills. One would
create a state litigation Fund twenty five million dollars to
assist protecting California illegal aliens. Legal assistant for immigrant communities,
(28:39):
free legal services. Why they're here illegally. If they need
a lawyer, they should pay for the lawyer. They created
the trouble. Why am I paying for their lawyer when
they broke the law and settled here knowingly and I'm responsible,
(29:01):
you're responsible. And I don't have a fire department. Well
I have half a fire department. I've got eighty year
old fire hydrants.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
That's astonishing. Free legal services. Conway's coming on now? What
an introduction?
Speaker 4 (29:31):
That long pause and then a very unenthusiastic conways, just.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
To put a little pause between his rage and your intro.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
And Mark Contray to settle down, tried to calm down.
Mark Thompson's here too. Isn't that cool?
Speaker 5 (29:45):
That is cool?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Oh that's that's even cooler.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
Yeah, all right, there's a big controversy going on, I think,
and Yahoo and Trump are talking about if the Kansas
City chiefs Wing can they use the term three peat?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Is that tackling the heart?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
That's why they're in Washington right now. Yahoo says yes.
Trump says he does not, not quite sure.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I mean, you can do four minus one pete, two
plus one pete.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
I don't know. Pat Riley owns that mark, right right.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Remember what Lebron James tried to trademark Taco Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Remember that he went after Taco Tuesday? Oh yeah, and
they found some taco shop in New Jersey that already
had trademarked.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
Right Yeah, So I mean, yeah, that's odd, that's really strange.
Pat Riley really did, Yeah, he owns it. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
After the when they had that three peet back in
the early two thousands with Shaq and Kobe.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yep, you can't say it. You also can't say let's
get ready to blame.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Oh yeah, that's right. I used to play cards with
the Michael Yeah and the the the Brothers, Brothers, the
really yeah, Buffer, who did it?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
You can't even get close to that without them call
it exactly, Alex Jones, come on with us. Fourteen members
of Congress are launching an investigation into three peete.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Big theme today. You got a lot of confused news today.
Speaker 5 (31:12):
It's a little mixed together. But if you can, if
you can sort it out, it's a great show.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
State Farm is increasing their insurance by three times.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I call that a three peet as well?
Speaker 5 (31:21):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Is that right on? Yeah? Three times.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Waffle House is placing a third charge on every egg itself.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I think it's a three three eggs special, so tripling
the price of the eggs three. That's right, John. Where
do you watch the big Game? Are you you went
watching home? Are you a guy that goes to a
bar and gets all crazy? Uh? Usually at home? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Friends invite me over? Oh that's cool, one of the two.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
All right, Yeah, I was invited to Gary's house, so
I'm trying to figure out how to.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Get out of that.
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Well, aren't you already out of it?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
And you have to agree to it before you get
I was drunk when he texted me, so I agreed
to it.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
I say, okay, well I think you're out of it now.
Hey man, I'm sorry.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
I was drunk when you ask me, and I say
yes to everything when I'm drunk.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
I would never come if I was sober. Well, let
me just think about it. I said, what can I bring?
And he said pringles.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
I'm like, okay, try to find don't where they sell those?
Speaker 2 (32:26):
It gets everywhere.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
All right, We'll be on until seven, That's all I
can guarantee you.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
Okay, all right, that's a long time, all right. Conway,
Thompson and kruzher'er live in the CAFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course, anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobel
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Well, if you're suffering and
the palisades are out to DNA, you have no idea
what to do. You're underinsured, uninsured, you don't have any power.
You figure the water is poisoned. You don't know whether
(00:22):
to sell out to the first offer you get. You're
probably confused and upset and looking for some advice. Well, sorry,
you're not important enough. Steve Soberoff, who's running the City
of La recovery effort, gave advice on all those topics,
(00:43):
but only to some Hollywood entertainment agents on a private
zoom call. They got sober Off's recommendation what to do
about your real estate, about your water issues, and about
your rebuilding problems. He talked privately to people that he
knows well and who has a lot of money, part
(01:04):
of the inner circle in Los Angeles, and he and
Bass say very little useful publicly to the rest of
people suffering. And I'll explain this because Washington Free Beacon
has the audio recording of this private zoom call that
sober Off gave. He's very explicit with them but as
(01:27):
far as anybody in the city or the county explaining
the atrocious response to these fires and now all the
atrocious decisions made just in the last few days, we'll
get to all that this hour. But first, Trump is
making news about every hour when it comes to illegal immigration,
(01:49):
and he sent down an executive order recently to end
birthright citizenship, the idea that just because you're born in
the US, you automatically become a citizen. No matter what
he thinks that if you're born to illegal aliens here
you should not get citizenship. His order got blocked in
the courts, but he's going to be pursuing this a
lot farther. And to try to explain it, we thought
(02:11):
we'd have Royal Oaks on ABC News legal analytic analyst, Royal,
how are you.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'm doing great? John, how are you?
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I'm good? Explain the way the Constitution is currently interpreted
by the Supreme Court regarding birthright citizenship. If two illegal
aliens come to California and they have a baby, the
baby's automatically a citizen, right.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well, we really don't know how the Supreme Court would
answer that question. They tried to answer it over one
hundred years ago. But this case is a little weird.
You know, you have to go to the actual language.
Fourteenth Amendment says that all persons born in the United
States are citizens of the United States if they are
subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Now what
does that mean. Basically, it means your undivided loyalty and
(02:59):
allegiance has to be to the US. And Donald Trump
interprets this key phrase subject to the jurisdiction to mean
that if you're here illegally, you don't have unbribled loyalty
to the United States. You're here illegally, you're a citizen
of another country, and so your kid should not automatically
be a citizen. So that's the heart of his argument.
(03:22):
But as you suggest, already a bunch of lawsuits have
been filed a federal court in the Washington State as
a lawsuit, and a judge, Judge Coffin Hour, he has
already said Trump's position is blakfully unconstitutional, and of course
he's going to rule against Trump, and it's going to
go up to the Ninth Circuit. They're going to rule
against Trump. So the only hope is the Supreme Court.
(03:43):
This guy, by the way, is eighty three. He was
appointed by Reagan in nineteen eighty one, so he's one
year older than Joe Biden and he absolutely thinks Trump
is all wet on this issue.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Well, this interpretation has been around since the eighteen hundreds, right.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, exactly. And the decision I was referring to is
eighteen ninety eight. And it's a decision where you had
two parents and they are American citizens and they have
a kid, and the US Supreme Court said, well, the
kid was born here, and so the kid is a citizen.
But and so this decision is being cited by the
critics of Trump. But the key is the parents in
(04:21):
that case from eighteen ninety eight were not illegals. They
were here and they had a right to be here
on a long term basis as non citizens. So there
is no case where the US Supreme Court has said
as to a situation where the parents are illegal they
have a baby here in America. They've tried to sort
through things like, well, what if you're a kid at
a diplomat you know, you're an ambassador from England and you're
(04:43):
Hair Washington, d C. Young kid, the kid is not
an American citizen because his parents didn't have, you know,
loyalty to the US. If you're a kid of an
enemy soldier who happens to be on Saint Louis and
you have a baby, you're not an American citizen because
your parents are loyal to Luxemburg or whoever was invading it.
(05:04):
It used to be American Indians when they would have
a baby, the court said, well, no, those babies are
not American citizens because the parents are part of sovereign
tribal nations. Congress changed that later on, but the result
is it's a thorny problem. But you know, John, the
problem for Trump is three of the justices in the
(05:24):
Supreme Court or liberals, so they're.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Going to vote against him.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
All they need are two more justices. Now they're not
going to get Alito or Thomas, but that still leaves
four justices and all the liberals need are two to
support the idea that, yeah, birthright citizenship should include the
kids of the illegal parents.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yeah, and it's been controversial for decades because of all
the illegal immigration, and many parents want to come here
in order to have their baby on US soil because
now the baby gets the family access to all kinds
of financial benefits from the state.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh absolutely, I mean this birthright or tourism involving berths.
A lot of folks come over and they stay in
a hotel, they go to the Ramada Inn for the
sole purpose of having the baby in the Inland Empire,
so that the baby can be an American citizen. So
in addition to this lawsuit up in the federal court
(06:21):
in Washington, you've got a bunch of other suits. The
ACLU has sued in Massachusetts. Five pregnant women have sued
in court in Maryland saying, hey, we want a declaration
our babies are going to be here legally. So there
are a lot of attacks on Trump's position and so
at the end of the day, it can take a
year or two to sort it out in the lower
court and then the Intermediate Court of Appeals, but probably
(06:44):
the US Supreme Court is going to get the final
lord on this, but it'll be a couple of years
into Donald Trump's term.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
All right, very good, Royal Oaks, thank you for coming
on and explaining all that you bet, thank you, all right,
talk to you soon, Royal Oaks from ABC News. When
we come back. Steve sober Off. He's been a buddy
of Karen Bass for a long time, big supporter, and
is trying to bail Bass out out of this disaster.
(07:11):
And so he's he speaks with two faces. The private
Steve Soberoff is telling rich, connected Hollywood insiders how to
handle a situation where their house is burned down. They
may be getting low ball offers from buyers and developers.
(07:33):
They don't know whether to trust the DWP when it
comes to the quality of the water. They don't know
what the timeline is going to be for government money
to come in. With the Palisades, you know, everybody's frozen
because nobody is sure what's going to happen next. Well,
sober Off is offering advice privately to these people that
he hasn't said publicly to the rest of the Palisades residents,
(07:56):
which I find fascinating because a lot of Pallas Edg's
residents don't have the connections and the money that these
Hollywood executives do. We're talking agents here, and they don't
get sober Off's wisdom, like for whether they should bathe
their babies in the DWP water. We'll tell you all
(08:17):
about this and we'll also talk about sober Off trying
to shut down criticism. They've been doing this publicly and
they're doing it privately. They don't want a discussion on
all the huge mistakes made by Karen Bass, Kristin Crowley,
the fire chief, and all these other public officials over
(08:37):
the last month, and they keep making more and more
huge mistakes. We'll tell you all about this coming up next.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
We talked about some of this early in the show,
and we've got more on it, just to summarize if
you're joining us. The Washington Free Beacon is a news
outlet in Washington, d C. And they got an audio
recording of a private zoom meeting between Steve sober Off
and a number of Hollywood agents, wealthy connected Hollywood people.
(09:17):
They got the private call with Steve sober Off. Sober
Off is running the recovery effort for Karen Bass. Big
supporter of Karen Bass. He's been a civic leader for
decades in LA. He's run for mayor, He's on the
police Commission. He was a developer involved in building the
Staples Center and similar trajectory to what Rick Caruso has,
(09:41):
and sober Off is Karen Bass's buddy, and she keeps
screwing up. Over the weekend, she decided that she was
going to open up the Palisades to the public and
take away the National Guard, and everybody in the Alisades
started screaming because that means it would have been a
(10:03):
looting festival. Incredibly stupid decision. The stupid decisions keep on coming.
We told you earlier that in Malibu, the EPA wants
to take all the toxic debris and pile it up
near Malibu City Hall, just down the block from a
number of schools. For all the empty land the federal
(10:23):
government owns in the United States of America, it wanted
to use a lot next to the Civic Center for
all kinds of hazardous waste paint, bleach, asbestos, propane tanks,
and lithium ion batteries that they've removed from the burn zone.
Everybody started screaming about that. But go back to sober
(10:44):
Off here for a second. If you're struggling in the
Palisades or Alta Dina, you're wondering, Wow, I'm already getting calls.
People want to buy my land cheap? Should I just
sell it and get out of here? How long is
it going to take, what kind of aid is going
to come from the various government levels? And what about
the water? For example? Can we trust the water? Can
(11:05):
you drink the water? Sober Off doesn't explain all this
to the public. To the general Palisades residents, he and
Bass have been largely silent isolated. But if you're one
of his buddies from the entertainment industry, executives and staff
(11:27):
from three elite Hollywood talent agencies according to the Free Beacon,
Willie Morris Agency, CIA Creative Artist Agency, the UTA, ty
United Talent Agency, they hosted it and so they got
the special session with sober Off. Among them was the
UTA vice chair, Jay Schurez, who represents, for example, Jake
(11:48):
Tapper from CNN. Another executive was a William Morris partner
named Richard Welts, who represents Tina fay, Seth MacFarlane and
Ricky Gervais. So you get the idea here, this is
not a meeting that's open to you. And Soberoffs was
recommending that you hold on to your properties in the
(12:09):
Palisades because you'll be able to triple your money in
about a year, whether you're a broker year old, don't
sell now, because in one year, we're going to be
putting billions of dollars into your neighborhood of improvements. You'll
get triple what these guys are offering you for now,
he told them privately. Did he tell the rest of
the Palisades residents publicly? No, if they sell out too early,
(12:35):
they wouldn't know any better, right, they don't have Steve
Soberoff as a private advisor. Sobaroff also claimed half our
labor could get deported before the Palisades is rebuilt, which
could be extremely expensive. So he's all in favor of
all the illegal immigration. And what he doesn't realize. What
(12:55):
he's saying is, hey, you know, the labor is cheaper
because those ego alien workers are exploited by the people
who employ them. They work for below market wages, and
you don't want to disrupt that. It's easy when you're
a multimillionaire like sober Off. It's easy to say, hey, hey,
(13:17):
let them work at those below market wages because my
construction costs will be cheaper. Construction costs, he says, are
going to be high. The demand for commodities is going
to be high. The demand for labor, whether or not
half our labor is deported, it's going to be high.
And then he turned to the DWP, saying, just because
(13:39):
the DWP says your water is safe, has somebody tested
before you move back in. And when they say drinking water,
use bottled water, what they don't say is don't bathe
your baby in their water. Don't take a bath in
the water, don't take a shower, don't do your dishes,
don't do your laundry. You don't want to do anything
with that water until it's deemed safe. And if you
(14:00):
could afford it, I would get an independent agency. Or
maybe there's a kid at CBS that tells you your
water is safe. If you could afford it, get an
independent agency. See a lot of the people in the
Palisades inherited their homes from their parents or grandparents. They
don't They aren't necessarily multimillionaires. Even if their property is
(14:23):
worth a lot. Without that property, they're not worth so much.
And he then went on to criticize anybody who wants
to bring up the issues which have created such a
hell here in Los Angeles, all the thallops of government.
(14:44):
He's telling people not to discuss it. I'll explain it's
about the Yes bus and the No bus that's coming up.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
We're in the middle of going through this Washington Free Beacon.
This story. It's a news outlet in Washington, d C.
That got a hold of an audio recording of a
private zoom call that Steve Soberoff, who's Karen Bass's recovery chief.
He's in charge of the recovery from the fires, and
he had this private audience telling these wealthy guys who
(15:21):
worked for the Hollywood talent agencies like William Morris, CIA
and UTA that they ought to hold on to their homes.
In a year, it'll be worth triple because there's going
to be so much money being poured into the palisades.
You shouldn't drink the DWP water. How come he's telling
his friends not to drink the DWP water and not
(15:43):
to bathe their babies, but the rest of the public
isn't given the same warning. If that's what he believes,
why doesn't he and Karen Bass at the press conference,
tell us not to drink the water. This is crazy,
absolutely crazy. At some point he made it clear that
(16:06):
he doesn't want to hear criticism. There are only two
busses here. One's t yes, which I'm on, and one
is the bus to know. And the bus to know
is looking for reasons why this happened, looking at the politicians,
looking at the reservoir, looking at the science. All that's okay.
(16:27):
It's just that I can't spend any time on that,
and he doesn't want anyone else to either. He told
these rich Hollywood guys that they should wait five or
six months for a report on what actually happened. Five
or six months, so it maybe some time in July.
(16:48):
They're gonna tell us why the fire chief kept a
thousand firefighters off duty and dozens of fire engines. And
they're gonna tell us why janiez Is didn't fill the
one hundred plus million gallon reservoir. They're gonna tell us
why they didn't preposition fire trucks and firefighters up in
(17:12):
the hills when there were this ex there's extreme fire warning.
It's six months. We're gonna find out why Karen Bass
thought it was more important to being Ghana than to
be running emergency operations here six months. You know, what
they want is everybody to forget to the passions to
die down, people to lose interest, and then have the
(17:35):
have it, have it come out in six months, Oh
you know, maybe like the July fourth weekend. Maybe, uh,
you know, right before a long weekend, so the news
coverage is minimum and people are not in the mood. Yeah, okay, yeah,
I remember, I remember that fire. Sure, that's what they want,
and they want to get away with it. They want
to keep their jobs. Niece Canonias wants to keep that
(17:56):
three quarters of a million dollar salary. Karen Bass wants
to keep her sorry job as mayor. She's got more
trips to go on. That's why she took the job.
They take these jobs for the junkets. Otherwise they would
never have a job where they could afford that kind
of travel. That's why it was so more important to
be in Africa than in the Palisades. So he told
(18:21):
them wait five or six months, and in the meantime,
get on the bus to Yes. In other words, look ahead,
don't look backwards. I've never seen anything like this, worst
disaster in American history. Worst fire disaster in American history
for a single city. Well, let's forget about it at uh,
(18:43):
let's not play the blame game. No finger pointing, you know,
no Monday morning quarterbacking, no more second guessing, all the phrases.
See what they do is they f up really really
bad and they kill people, and they cause billions of
dollars the damage. They ruined people's lives, and it's like
all right, all right, yeah, yeah, okay, no figure pointing. No,
(19:06):
they have all these they have all these phrases to
intimidate you from holding them accountable. They don't want to
be held accountable. They want to go on with their lives.
That's infuriating. You ruin the lives of tens of thousands
of people, You killed people, You're bankrupting people. He admits
(19:26):
that there's probably hardly anybody is going to have enough
insurance money to cover the rebuild that most people, there's
gonna be a gap. Uh. But he says, if you
do this kind of criticizing, you're on the bus to know.
(19:48):
He says it'll take five years for people to rebuild
their homes. One of the agents, Jay sure Is, started
complaining about Los Angeles us permitting process, which holds everything up.
Sure has said everything has been a joke, the whole
process of permitting in the city of la And Soberoff
(20:11):
interrupted and said, I thought you said this wasn't going
to be political. Now I want you on the bus
to yes please. I want you on the bus to
yes please. That's not political. He's pointing out that the
city government is broken, their permitting process is broken, and
normal people can't get what they need to accelerate the rebuild.
(20:34):
Uh oh, looks like you're on the bus to know.
If I were you, i'd get off that bus right now,
as to yes is gone this way, and we're not
going to come and pick you up. He's treating people
like they're all eight years old. What a bully, What
a bloviating bully. Then he goes on to say sober
(20:54):
Off says that only five percent of Palisade's residents can
afford their house now because most of them inherited the
house from their parents or grandparents, or they bought their
houses a long time ago before the constriction and real
estate price is skyrocketed. He said, the costs are going
to be nuts nuts one thousand to twelve hundred per
(21:17):
square foot to rebuild a thousand to twelve hundred. There's
no one in the Palisades who won't have a gap
between what their insurance policies will pay out and the
costs to reconstruct their homes. He doesn't know what kind
of money will be available to make up the shortfalls,
but he said the best thing is to get your
building plans together higher legal help. Oh yeah, you got
(21:39):
to hire your own water testing company, and then you've
got to hire your own law firm to help negotiate
with the insurance companies. Boy, is this guy out of touch.
This guy has been living rich for so long he
can only talk to rich people on the phone to
explain how difficult recovery is going to be. And then
he told them to hold on to their lots and
don't accept the low ball offers. Oh, and then he
(22:02):
says he's going to wrap up his duties within ninety
days and turn them over to turn the recovery over
to engineering firms. So he's out of here. Because you know,
this job doesn't pay, it's volunteer. Do you believe this?
This is the guy Karen Bass picked. He can't wait
to say, Hey, I'm out of here in ninety days,
and make sure you're on the bus to Yes, he
(22:23):
doesn't want to hear any criticism. The whole problem with
rebuilding is you can't get the permits. Whether there's a fire,
disaster or not, you can't get permits because the bureaucracy
in Los Angeles is so clotted and congested and made
up of so many stupid people who work in government,
(22:44):
And basically it's a legal shakedown. They just want to
shake down all kinds of fees and fines from you.
Oh that's the bust to know. I'm sorry, the bust
to know isn't running anymore. Oh my god, the arrogance
and the pompousness of it all. There's dead people. Hey,
if I had if I had somebody who burned to
(23:06):
death in my family, can I can I raise my
hand to talk about it? No? No, that's the bus
to know. I'm bankrupt. I didn't have. Oh, by the way,
I got to reiterate what we heard yesterday. The insurance
companies pulled out in before the fire because they had
(23:27):
done their own investigation and they knew that the reservoir
sent in as reservoir was empty. They knew that, and
they looked at the brush build up, and they knew
the brush wasn't cleared by the government, So they knew
if a fire happened, happened, it would be devastating, it
would be extremely destructive. That's why they were cutting off
(23:51):
people's insurance. Of course, Steve, Steve Soberoff didn't give it
even a warning to his wealthy buddies about that. How
come the public know what the insurance companies do? How
come Karen Bass and Steve Soberoff didn't know. Why didn't
they know? Why didn't they tell everybody, Hey, you don't
have insurance because it is so dangerous. Right now? We
(24:12):
have fire hydrants from nineteen the nineteen forties. There was
another story of the New York Times today, fire hydrants
from the nineteen forties, a reservoir, completely empty, brush built
up on all kinds of government land. And to talk
(24:32):
about it publicly, Oh, that's the bus to know. Oh,
don't trust the water. But yeah, the writer for this
story in the Washington Free Beacon is going to come
on the show tomorrow, So I guess you know what
the bus is going to board tomorrow, The bus to know.
(24:54):
Soberoff doesn't want to be held accountable. Neither is Karen Bass,
Neither is jeniez Kinonyez, neither all those bastards on the
La City Council who never funded the fire department. The
fire chief doesn't want to be held accountable. They all
want just wait for the after action report. That's the
phrase I keep here. Yes, we're gonna have an after
action report in six months, you know, during the July
(25:15):
fourth weekend, maybe when some of you were out of
the country. She goes out of the country during high
fire season. You'll go out of the country in the
summertime maybe, And that's when Karen Vassil released the report.
A bunch of cowards, huh, A bunch of absolute cowards, death, bankruptcy, destruction,
(25:37):
people's lives ruined for many years, and to even ask
about it, that's the bus to know. Wow. And she's
running around trying to strip the National Guard out of
the palisades, let the looters. In mean time, the EPA
(26:00):
is dumping all the toxic debris at the Malibu Civic Center.
I don't know what to do about this, but you've
done a real great job voting for this crew. Holy moly,
more coming up.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM six.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Forty Conway coming up in minutes. So we learned today
that California, rather, I should be specific, the city of
Los Angeles, seventeen percent of the fire hydrants are from
the nineteen forties. They have two and a half inch
water outlets, and the standard is four inches now twenty
(26:48):
four percent of the fire hydrants in the Palisades, twenty
four percent are from the nineteen forties. With these small
two and a half inch outlets, with four inches, you
get much greater waterflow. Obviously, there was never any money
spent to buy new fire hydrants. And then I looked
(27:10):
today and in Sacramento, the California Assembly is trying to
pass fifty million dollars still to trunk proof the state.
They started this project and then the fires hit and
(27:31):
they were embarrassed because we found out there's no funding
for the fire department. Right the LA Fire Department is
only half funded. Nobody even turned on a hose to
fill up the one hundred million gallon reservoir. Fire hydrants
are from the nineteen forties. Nobody is spent on clearing
(27:54):
the brush around and by the way, this goes for
all all right. I've been focusing on the Palisades because
the fires were there, But in all the other towns
on both sides of the Santa Monica Mountains, the brush
isn't being cleared. Much of it is on various government lands.
But you could go to the east, you know, all
the way past Hollywood, and the brush isn't being cleared.
(28:16):
Nor is it being cleared in the San Fernando Valley
along the mountains. But they've got two bills. One would
create a state litigation Fund twenty five million dollars to
