Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio apps.
We're on every day from one until four, and then
after four o'clock we've got the podcast John Cobelt's show
on demand, same as the radio show. We're going to
be talking at Bill Mallusian about a couple of stories.
First one up is he's gotten a word that there
are anti ICE activists in Los Angeles interfering with ICE operations,
(00:26):
and they've gone as far as putting up posters featuring
personal information of ICE investigators and Homeland security investigators as
well ones who work in southern California. The posters are
written in Spanish. We're going to talk with Bill beluj
and Al Fox News to see what the latest is.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Bill, Hey, John, thanks for having me. Man.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Sure what's going on?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, So, got a couple tips from federal law enforcement
sources that these posters had started going up in neighborhoods
here in southern California. And what they say in Spanish
is careful with these faces. They say these are armed
agents who work with ICE and HSI, and that they're
racially terrorizing our communities. And then What the posters show
(01:09):
is they've got four ICE and HSI agents with photos
of them with their first and last names, with their
addresses where they're from, and their cell phone numbers, and
they list all of them on these posters, and they
were posted in neighborhoods around southern California. Now we don't
know which activist group is posting these, but there have
(01:29):
been a bunch of different activist groups going out every
single day, dozens of them, going into different neighborhoods and
looking for ICE operations and then when they find them,
they interfere them and interrupt with them. They get on
bullhorns and they yell at the targets, don't open your doors,
don't talk to ICE. They live stream ICE locations on
TikTok and other apps, so people know exactly where ICE
(01:51):
is and it essentially blows up their operations and they
got they got to leave and go elsewhere. So I've
been told that ICE is aware of these posters and
that they're investigating it. And we got a statement from
the FBI which says, you know, they respect people's ability
for free speech, but if you walk close to that
(02:12):
line where you're interfering with law enforcement. You could be
looking at potential prosecution. So that's that's where that's at
right now.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
What is the line?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Can anybody explain exactly how far.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
These people can go before they're breaking federal law?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's the question I have too, because look, if you're
it's perfectly illegal for them to get on these bullhorns
and like yell at the migrants and stuff like that,
you know, that's freedom of speech. Where it might start
getting a little blurry is the fact that they are
they're showing up and interrupting the operations before they can happen.
(02:49):
They're dosing these ice officers with the direct goal of
impeding their operations. And obviously, I mean obviously, if they
were to try to like physically impede, like phily blocked people,
they be arrested immediately. That's one hundred percent interference. But
it seems like it's this blurry gray area. I've had
prosecutors reach out to me who say they think it's
(03:10):
blatant obstruction of justice. What's going on with these activist
groups because they are actively interfering with an active law
enforcement operation, and by doxing these officers with the intent
of ruining that operation, and to harass these officers, they're
also committing a crime that way. I'm not a lawyer.
I don't know. I'll leave that to law enforcement. But
(03:30):
it's really heating up here in Los Angeles. Out of
all the cities I've gone to where I've done ice
in beds, the activists here in LA are by far
the most organized, and they have the biggest numbers. And
one of the organizers was actually on TV on local
media giving interviews boasting. He's saying, like, yeah, we're training people.
We got one hundred and fifty people who get up
(03:50):
at the crack of dawn every day, they go out
in these neighborhoods they look for ice. We're recruiting more
of them on social media. So this anti is activism
is getting even stronger here in Los Angeles. And we
all just saw what happened a couple weeks ago with
all the people taking over the freeways and marching and
blocking streets. So there was initially going to be a
big ICE operation here in LA. A couple of weeks ago,
(04:13):
it got leaked and the whole operation got scrapped. So
a lot going on right now, John, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
There must be some leakers on the inside, the homeland
security of the FBI or ICE. I mean, they must
have cooperation because they're getting a lot of information that's
dead on.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah. And the other problem is too, is they've been
having a lot of cooperation with a bunch of other
federal agencies, FBI at f DEA. Once you start including
the umbrella of all these different federal agencies and you
got hundreds of people involved, the likelihood of somebody saying something,
it goes up significantly, you know. So. I mean, I
was just in Aurora, Colorado a few weeks ago with
(04:53):
what was supposed to be a huge operation there to
go after Venezuelan gang members. Over four hundred federal agents
came up completely empty because it leaked. It leaked, the
targets knew they were coming, and it was a completely
failed op.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Another story we want to get into. There's a Coachella
City councilwoman and she gave an interview. She was sobbing
and crying to local media because her husband was arrested
in a Walmart parking lot by the FBI for ICE,
and she was claiming that he's a good man. My
family was just separated. But there's more to the story
(05:25):
you found out.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh, there's always more to the story, John, So, this
was one of those classic you know, the media interviews
this sobbing woman who records her husband being arrested by
Ice and FBI, as you said, says, the family's being separated.
This is cruel, this is inhuman. The media gobbles it up. Well,
what they left out is this guy is a previously
(05:47):
deported Mexican illegal alien who has a very long rap
sheet with multiple felony convictions including possession of a controlled
substance meth for sale, for trafficking, inflicting corporal injury to
a spouse DUI, and assault with a deadly weapon, that
latest arrest being in twenty twenty three. He's now also
being prosecuted for felony re entry because if you've been
(06:09):
deported before and you cross into the country illegally again,
that is a federal crime. So the Feds are now
looking to prosecute him for that, and that is a
felony punishable by up to two years in prison. So
the reporter when they interviewed this council woman said does
your husband have a criminal record, and she goes, my
husband isn't perfect but he's paid for what he's done,
(06:30):
so she knew he had a criminal history, she just
decided not to disclose it. And this was a targeted operation.
And he is an egregious criminal alien, which is exactly
what ice in the FBI are going after. Also raises questions.
John as TOWAYO Coachelle, an elected official in Coachella, is
apparently harboring a known criminal illegal alien.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Her name is the Adira Perez and I guess she
put on quite a show in that video.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh yeah, yes she did. She was sobbing the entire time.
Said it's cruel, it's inhuman and you know, look, we've
seen this happen with media all across the country recently.
They want to hold on to like, they want to
seize on any emotional aspect they can get to say
this is so cruel and they're going after innocent people, YadA, YadA, YadA.
(07:18):
But all you have to do is five minutes of
research sometimes and look beyond the tiers and the sob stories,
and you'll often find that there's a reason that these
people are being targeted. Any parking lot in the middle
of the day and they were the only one arrest.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Right and that was left out of the media story.
His criminal record.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, during the TV broadcast that aired, all the reporter
did was asked, does he have a criminal history, and
she said, he's not perfect, but if he's done anything,
he's paid for what he's done. And they left it
at that. There was no more pushback.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
All right, Bill Mallusian, thank you for coming on, No,
thanks for having me. All right, Bill mllusion from Fox News.
Two stories there, and we'll tell you more details about
this Yadira Perez, the councilwoman, and we'll go deeper into
her husband's criminal allegations, because not criminal allegations, his actual
(08:10):
real history of crimes that he's committed.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And if the TV media.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Is going to go for sob stories and try to
tug at your heartstrings, we'll tell you the truth, no
matter how brutal it is.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That's coming up next.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
'ron from one until four o'clock and then after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
And we just had Build Millujian on from Fox News.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
For two things.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
One is there's a lot of activists here in LA
and southern California who are disrupting ICE raids, showing up
with bullhorns, shouting alerting the bad guys that ICE is
coming to get him, and thwarting, thwarting these missions. And
you know, this is a war out there. The illegal
(09:05):
alien criminals have their own defenders, their own activists. This
is what happens when you have an open border policy
for twenty five years, You are going to get all
kinds of bad characters in. We saw that with the
marches a week or two ago, right, I mean, there's
thousands and thousands of illegal aliens marching and they're waving
(09:28):
the Mexican flags, the El Salvadoran flags, and they're vandalizing
buildings and vandalizing museums and city hall, and they're blocking
the one on one repeatedly, Karen Bass is nothing about
any of this, right, Bass keeps the police pulled back.
God forbid, these marches would be interfered with, God forbid,
the criminals who are vandalizing city hall and museums would
(09:51):
be interfered with. They have a free reign, but ICE
trying to arrest criminals, well, can't have that at and
and you know, there there's a there's a there's a
lot of people who are let into the country who
obviously shouldn't have been. And now they've they've kind of
created their own, their own force, their own vigilanty force
(10:12):
to disrupt law enforcement, ICE and UH homemade security investigators,
FBI investigators. Uh. Let's play a clip here from uh
K E s Q. This is ABC Channel three and
Palm Springs, because it turns out that the woman uh
(10:34):
that we we dyl and I talked about, and her
name is uh, I'm gonna get her name here, uh
Yadira Perez, Coachella City council member. And I guess she
works also for the Sheriff's Department, and it was her
husband who got arrested.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Play this clip.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Continem cover sie on and Immigration and Customs enforcement arrest
this week in Coachell.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
All the time, we have learned.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
The wife of the man arrested has resigned her position
with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department confirming
tonight saying that Deputy Yadarra Perez resigned for personal reasons.
Perez currently serves as a Coachella city council member as well.
We're told she did not attend a council meeting tonight.
(11:19):
Perez spoke to news Channel three two nights ago, saying
her husband had been arrested by ICE agents earlier that day.
Her husband is now free on bond. News Channel three
obtained the criminal complaint against fifty one year old Sidro Jimenez,
which was part of a targeted operation. In nineteen ninety four,
Jimenez was convicted of trying to sell meth and was
deported the following year. Immigration officials say he was also
(11:43):
convicted of spousal abuse after his illegal re entry into
the country in nineteen ninety eight, driving under the influence
in two thousand and seven, and assault with the deadly
weapon in twenty thirteen. This is video of the arrest
that happened on Monday. Jimenez appeared in court for a
veil hearing Tuesday. In his next hearing is now in April.
(12:03):
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stated publicly it's placing a
high priority on immigration enforcement and targeting undocumented immigrants with
criminal records, It says poses a threat to public safety,
and when.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
The story first broke, it was just the wife Idir Perez,
crying and sobbing that her husband had been taken away.
And he's not such a bad guy. It took a
while before he found out the truth. And you heard
that anchorman from Palm Springs lay out the case here.
I mean, he was kicked out of the country thirty
(12:39):
years ago. Drug conviction and methamphetamy, that's what he was
trying to sell thirty years ago. That's back when we
enforced immigration laws. But that he came back and then
I don't know who his spouse was, if it was
a different woman, but spousal abuse saught with the deadly weapon.
This guy's a And that's what Trump and Tom Homan
(13:04):
of ice, that's what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
They're getting rid of criminals.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
So now you have organized groups and major politicians like
Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom protecting the criminals. They're trying
to create sanctuary for the criminals that Homan and Trump
want to deport. It is so sick and twisted, but
this is what we have. And then you have television
(13:29):
stations whose first impulse is to go for the sob story.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh, we have a crying woman, we have a crying wife.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Secondly, a little while later they go and they dig
up the guys a criminal record, which justifies his deportation. Actually,
if you're here illegally, all deportations are justified. But the
criminals are getting the U the priority now on this stuff.
And it's it's just so. But you know this, it's
(13:57):
going to be a long term more. And I everybody
knows what we're getting into here because this place had
gone to hell for the last twenty five years. I mean,
we've got a million legal illegal aliens here and and
that causes problems all over the place. You got you
got too many, too many kids stuffed in the classrooms.
(14:17):
You've got too much money blown on healthcare. You've got
you know, budgets are out of whack. You have extremely
limited expensive housing because you know, those million people have
to live somewhere, so that's taken a lot of housing
off the market.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You know what you'll get is, oh, you're blaming everything
on illegal aliens.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It's like, you know what, most of the major issues
we have in the state can be connected to illegal immigration.
Because when you import a million people, almost all of
them are in the poverty range. Many of them have
next to no educations. The young guys, A lot of
them are trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
That, you know, the number of illegal aliens, gangs, and
gang members in this state is big. So whether it's crime,
it's it's how much money we spend on healthcare, it's
how much money we have to spend on the schools,
you know, and we're kind and we have and you
wonder why we have half a fire department. I mean,
look at all the money that we have to spend
on illegal alien related needs. It's tens of billions of
(15:19):
dollars every year in the state and in the city.
I mean, it's it's it's it's terrible. And all they're
trying to do is get rid of the criminals, the
people actually hurting us and hurting people in their own neighborhoods,
and here come the crazed activist groups and it's just
but it's it's like homelessness when you don't do when
(15:42):
you don't nip it right at the beginning, as soon
as it's happening, right as soon as illegal aliens started
coming over the border, especially during the Bush administration, you
block it. I mean Pete Wilson, you know, tried Prop
one eighty seven, the way back in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That was over thirty years ago. Yet have to try,
you have to blocket.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Now it's metastasized and everything's out of control here and
all the good.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You know what, It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I marvel that when I look at polling and the
news media has about a thirty percent trust rate in
this country, which means thirty percent of the people believe
what they see. I don't know who those people are,
but I guess it must be you know, people on
the left wing who want to see left wing news
and they enjoy the slant. But when you've lost seventy
percent of the country, it means you're putting out bad
(16:34):
product that nobody believes.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So what do they do?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
They keep putting out bad product that nobody's going to believe.
If I see a sob story involving a woman who's
crying because her legal alien husband or son or brother
was cartered off unfairly, no, I'm not getting the kleenex. Okay,
I'm not going to be tearing up here. I'll immediately
know it's like, okay, emotional manipulation time. You want me
(16:57):
to feel sorry for her and you're not going to
tell me the backs about how many crimes he's committed to,
how many people he's hurt, just automatically.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's the way it is.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
By the way, coming after two o'clock, we're gonna have
Lower Angel on from News Nation. We've been waiting on
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, because she had said that
the Department of Justice was going to release the Epstein
files today. We thought they'd be out by now, and
there's a delay because it looks like the FBI may
(17:27):
have been holding back on a lot of files.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Now, what is that pile of documents about?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Because Bondi said that the pile of documents she has
will make you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Sick over two hundred and fifty victims.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
She says, what the documents she knows about will make
you sick? Then she finds out the FBI is holding
out other things, and I think we all know what
this is about. There must be a lot of politically
connected people, government officials, elected officials, celebrities who were involved
(18:00):
in the Epstein sewer, and the FBI is corrupt. So
I can't believe any records exist. I would have thought
they'd all been shredded and burned by now. So anyway,
we're gonna talk to Lori Angle coming up after two
o'clock we come back. I also have to tell you
by my incredibly frustrating evening last night after the show,
(18:23):
I missed out, you know, and it turns out you
could have.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Saved me and you didn't even know it. I had.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I wasn't gonna bring that part out.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
It's the first thing I'm gonna go to is blame
you for this, and then your tantrum, and then I yes,
and then incredibly frustrating ordering lunch I've had last twenty
four hours sucked, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
You ever get in those.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Yes, yesterday it happened. It took me two and a
half hours to get to work.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
And then John, when I came in here to do
the news, the sound wasn't working and I had to
go elsewhere to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And you knocked the station off the air just a
few minutes and then I did.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yeah, so my bad karma has rubbed off.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, I know it's surrounding me. Well, I'll tell you
all about it, because that's the real breaking news.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
You're listening to John Kobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
We are on from one until four every day. Moistline
is tomorrow. How are we doing on the moistline? We
give you some Well, we got some vacancy eight seven
seven moist eighty six. See, we get plenty of calls,
it's just they're not all usable and Eric has got
to make the determination. Eight seven seven Moist eighty six
(19:35):
eight seven seven sixty six four seven eight eighty six.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So last yesterday after the show was about as frustrating
a situation without it being connected to any kind of
like a tragedy. Right, this was as frustrating as I've
had in a long time. I have never enjoyed having
a phone.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Never.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I got my first phone, I think twenty five years ago.
My wife insisted, Right, we just had a couple of
kids and she wanted Ken and I were doing a
morning show back then, and she just wanted access to me,
you know, in the dark with the kids at home.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So all right, I mean it was a flip phone.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
And you know, I've had an internet email, you know,
for thirty years, and so it's not like I just.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm not adjusting.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I've adjusted for a long time, but it's always irritated
me and I when I get nostalgic, I get nostalgic
for days where I wasn't connected and there wasn't a
screen and nobody else was looking at screens and people
were communicating. And I know it was better. I don't
care what people say it was better. This is insanity.
Everybody's a nation of addicts. So because all this information
(20:53):
is loaded up in your phone, and because everybody wants
to contact you all the time, we all are forced
to carry these things. So I now this is I've
learned something just about the modern world here at the station.
And also I got to realize how one little mistake
can unleash a cascade of problems. I went to lunch
(21:17):
yesterday and a little bit of my cheeseburger fell out
of the bun onto my shirt, leaving a mark right
in front.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'm surprised that you cared.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
No, I do.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I don't like food stains, and I thought I that
was a nice shirt too, and you know stains can.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Set and you have I know.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I'm just impressed that that bothered you.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, no, food stain guys really like offend me. So
I come here and I make a decision. I could
have come up to the fourth floor bathroom and got
it done, but there's there's a bathroom on the bottom
floor as you're entering the lobby.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
It's off to the side. Nobody uses it.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I've gone in one of those and I figure stop
there and I'll just rub it out, which I did.
I left my phone on the counter. That's the only
sin I committed. I left the phone on the counter,
took the service elevator upstairs. We did the show. We
had a good time. Conway comes in here at four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I go out.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I can't find my phone on my iPad. I have
the Find my Phone app. Find my Phone app told
me that my phone was in a wing of the
building where Ray has his office and Oscar Operations manager
has his office. But by time I figured this out,
(22:36):
Ray was gone, Oscar was gone, raised off. His door
was open, so I went in there. I was briefly
in his office, just for a few seconds, and there's
no phone there, and I'm setting off. You know, the
alarm on the phone, right I set it off over
one hundred times in the next three hours and couldn't
never heard it except maybe once. And now this signal
(23:00):
on this thing is bouncing around for a while. It
told me I was was my phone was outside on
a grass area outside of Oscars and raised window.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
I heard about that you're wandering around.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I was wandering around the building.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
A security guard actually let me through a gate and
I'm walking on a dirt berm right next to the
one thirty four freeway. Bike climbed up to the top
and falling over to the other side. I would have
been run over by traffic, all right, because this building
is built right up against the one thirty four.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
You can see it as you drive by. And you
know who joined me on this excursion.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Michael, Yes, oh I know he he.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
He gave quite a lot of details about you. John.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Well.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
When well, apparently when Michael's done with his news work,
he has nothing to do, because I found him sitting
on a bench.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Well because the traffic is so bad, John, he was
waiting for the traffic to die down.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Are you kind of lucked out?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I said, what are you waiting for a bus? And
I told her what the problem? And he goes, oh,
come and help you, And I said, well, you really
have nothing to do, but he did. He started, He
came around and we were trying to figure this thing out.
I ran into a security card along the way and
he opened it up, and it's like, well, there's obviously
no phone on the grass and the dirt here because
you can't get here. It's all gated in and it's bound,
(24:17):
you know, it's cut off by the highway. So I
go back up and I'm setting off. I'm going back
to every spot, including that bathroom. I went to the
original bathroom.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
So I was going to say, did you go to
the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Went to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I don't go too many places, you know that, right
Once I come here, I go into your crazy booth there,
I go into the bathroom, not much else. And so
this was baffling, you know, it became like a gripping mystery.
My iPad says the phone is here. It says the
phone is here, and I can't and there's only so
(24:50):
many places I went. Well, I didn't know. Is somebody
who works in the building. I'm not going to give
his name. I know he was doing the right thing.
He picked the phone off the counter in the bathroom
and he brought it up to the fifth floor where
we have a security desk. It's where guests are supposed
to go. It's a reception there. Well after four point thirty,
(25:11):
those guys are home. So the guy who found my
phone left a note on it and put it on
the counter up there, and I set.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
The alarm one hundred times.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But so few people work here now, because normally that
should be a busy place, because everybody's leaving on the
fifth floor. A lot of salespeople are up there. They
leave on the fifth floor to get to the elevator.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
And go home.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
But nobody goes home anymore because nobody comes here. You
can't go home if you didn't show up to begin with.
I try to get a phone, try to find a
phone line so I can call my wife, so I
can call Apple, because the Apple thing insisted the phone
was here. There are no phones in the building anymore.
I discovered not only are there no longer people in
(25:59):
the building, there are no phones.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
It took the phones off the desks on the fourth
floor about six months ago.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, I vaguely remember some activity. I didn't realize they
took every phone in the building.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
I think there's a phone or two in the newsroom.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
There is but I couldn't work it. Eventually I got
hold of a phone, and eventually I called Apple, which
put me on hold for twenty five minutes. Then I
tried talking to an Apple bot in a chat boy.
I hate those things, but they were of no information.
(26:35):
The guy shared my screen with the Apple chat and
he goes, yeah, it looks like it's there. It's like, well,
I know it's there, but how do I know where
it's there?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Maybe you should go up to another floor. Well I
wasn't up on the fifth floor, but that's where the
phone mistaken. I never went up there. Had I gone
up there because I'd set off the ringer so many times.
Then I come in today I find out you knew
about this. You could have saved me an hour.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Wait, wait, no, no, no, that that is that's actually not
totally true. A very nice sales lady sent me an
email yesterday at exactly six thirteen pm and it says, Hi, Deborah,
do you know anyone on the ams that lost a phone?
There's one at the front desk that was found in
a bathroom. And I think I saw your name on
one of the texts, Michelle, So I said no, I'm
(27:23):
not at work and I haven't heard anything, but i'll
ask around tomorrow. I never thought it was you, and
I started going back to thinking, Okay, I know that
I texted Jason and he's he is our news director.
I know that I texted Michael Monks because I was late.
Somebody went through the text and then you and Jay
and Eric and Ray, and I thought, well, what if
(27:46):
you guys probably would have reached out to me somehow,
or I would have heard that you that you were
missing a phone your wife.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
So I just thought, okay, I'll figure it out.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Oh and then she also in a follow up text,
said that she was going to have somebody send out
an email to everybody asking about.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Their Well yeah, yeah, somebody, somebody in management or somebody
in building management eventually got an email about it a
couple of hours later. Yeah, and they pieced the story together.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And that's not my fault. Job, I.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Think is if if you find somebody's phone, if you
go to settings, their name pops up.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
The owner of the phone, Oh well your phone was.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Wait, yeah, don't you have a password, because you can't
get into my phone.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
The password only it only locks twice a day. Like
first thing in the morning and twelve hours later in
the evening. I don't use a pass code except when
it forces me to.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Okay, for this reason, I was wondering how my name
popped up on your text for somebody to see.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I don't know. Well, you can't slide down on an
iPhone and you can see messages with the phone being locked. Yeah,
so I note if it did any good?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Okay, But then okay, so how did you find what's
the resolution?
Speaker 6 (28:57):
How did you finally find it?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Well, the guy in building management called Oscar. Oscar called
Mike Rozier. I think that's how it went. I got
to ask Krozer when he comes in, and then the
Crozier goes, oh, John, I think I know where your
phone is.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Apparently, through through the.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Through the chain, everybody realized that it was taken to
the security deck. But from four o'clock till seven o'clock
I was here wandering all the hallways.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I never sat down. I'm walking around the building.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Yeah, Eric says, lucky for you, the security video doesn't
look too too great. Yeah, because well, he wanted to
post it on social media.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Enough.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I wasn't having a.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Fit, No, I just wanted you with your iPad looking
around searching shit.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You should have gotten me on the phone call.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
On the phone call too, you need to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I was in the bathroom, Well that was happening, and
I can overhear it through the walls.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Of I went to this sandwich place and they gave
me somebody else's sandwich.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Yeah, somebody else's last name.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was both John's. So I called
up the place and I was just saying, do you
guys know how to read? I don't know how to read. No,
you don't know how to because it's not the first
time it's happened. It's about the third time it's happened.
They don't know how to read. My favorite was like,
I have a job. I can't come back to get
my access.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
I told them to say that. I said, you need
to tell them that you're going on the radio. You
cannot go back. They need to deliver it to you.
And what was what did they say when you said
you need a sandwich?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I have to No, I have to go to them.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
I say, no, you need to come to me. I
told you I would have handled it. You're afraid, I was.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
We were going to get sued mighty four to eleven recorder.
I don't want to see you at a rage, all right.
We got more coming up. I got real news coming up.
And then after two o'clock Loura Engele from News Nation
on the Jeffrey Epstein List, when is it going to
come out already?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And is it really new stuff?
Speaker 4 (30:49):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from kf I
am sixty.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Coming up after two o'clock. Are we ever going to
get the all the Epstein details? There's a lot of
them out there. The Attorney General, Pam Bondi says, it's
pretty sick supposed to come out today, then it wasn't,
but maybe some stuff was released anyway, And I want
new stuff, all right. I already know the cast of
characters that was going to his dinner parties and flying
(31:16):
on planes and frolicking around Pedophile Island. But supposedly there's
a lot of new stuff and new detail. We will
get to that maybe coming up after two o'clock. I
want to play you this news story from Fox eleven,
cut number two, Coco Macca Boy. If you haven't heard,
but the Huntington Park Mayor's house was raided. Also, some
(31:40):
current and former council members are all being investigated big
corruption case. This is what I tell you. Most of
these people are thieves in government play cut too.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
LA County District Attorney Nathan Hoffman says it's the duty
of his office to investigate any possible misuse of pop funds.
So there's now a big corruption probe in the city
of Huntington Park and City Hall. Here is taped off
while the investigation continues. Take a look at this video
so we can show you and explain more of what's
happening here. Investigators served a series of search warrants at
(32:16):
Huntington Park, City Hall and at the homes of the
city's mayor and some current and former council members. The
investigation started in twenty twenty two and focuses on the
potential misuse of millions of dollars in public funds that
we're supposed to go towards the construction of an aquatic
center at the Salt Lake Park in Huntington Park. Warrants
were served at city Hall, a public works facility, and
(32:40):
the Salt Lake Park itself. Several items were seized from
each location, including public records financial paperwork, computers, tablets, cell phones,
and other equipment.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Here's some reaction to the news.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
There's an estimated fourteen million dollars, give or take, that
has been expanded by the city, and that from those
funds the city has, the residents of the city have
only received an empty lot.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
They're also growing calls now for a state investigation, so
we'll really have to see what happens here. We did
reach out to officials here at city Hall for response,
but we have not yet heard back.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
You want to hear the names and the jobs these
people have. It's the warrants were served at the homes
of Mayor Karina Massias, a councilman Eduardo Eddie Martinez, city
manager Ricardo Reis. Search warrants were served for former council
members Garcielo Ortiz, Maryland Sinabria, a former city official Ephren Martinez,
(33:44):
the offices of United Consulting Services in Huntington Park, the
homes of EDVN Saturian and Sonya Vardikian, the owners of
JT Construction Group. Fourteen million dollars. They had to build
an aquatic center. No aquatic center. And by the way,
the rest of that quote from the vice mayor or
tour of flores Is. There's an estimated fourteen million dollars
(34:06):
and the residents of the city have only received an
empty lot with dead grass and nothing to show for
those millions of dollars. So Nathan Hockman's staff is continuing
the investigation. They've had the search warrants executed. This is
what goes on every day in a thousand different ways.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Fourteen million poof. Now you think that people.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
When they walked by that site every day and they
saw the empty the empty lot, the dead grass. Maybe
some of them knew that fourteen million was spinding. They
probably so, I wonder where the money went? What happened
to the money? Is the same thing when you hear
about the high speed rail. It's like, I wonder where
the money went. They stole it, That's what happened. They
(34:55):
stole the money. Oh wow, all those billions of dollars
for homeless and look at all the homeless around.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Where did it go?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
They stole it. That's what people in public life do.
They're not devoted public civil they're not civil servants. They're thieves.
They're crooks. That's what many of them are. That's why
they got into the business, and then they attract their
friends and relatives and the pitch is, hey, you would
have believed how easy it is to steal money. Come
join me, be my assistant, my deputy. You know, I'll
(35:23):
put you in charge of this office. Yeah, and you
can steal with me. In fact, now we can steal more.
All right, we come back Jeffrey Epstein. If they're not
stealing money, public officials are having wild sex with underage
teenagers in some cases. And that's what Jeffrey Epstein supplied,
(35:44):
as you know. And today was the day that Pambondi,
the Attorney General, said, well, we're going to release a
lot of the names and a lot of the documents,
and it's a lot of sick stuff. But so far
it hasn't been released. We'll get more with lore Angel
from Newsdation. Coming up Debora Mark Live twenty four our newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
(36:07):
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.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio apps.
We're on every day from one until four, and then
after four o'clock we've got the podcast John Cobelt's show
on demand, same as the radio show. We're going to
be talking at Bill Mallusian about a couple of stories.
First one up is he's gotten a word that there
are anti ICE activists in Los Angeles interfering with ICE operations,
(00:26):
and they've gone as far as putting up posters featuring
personal information of ICE investigators and Homeland security investigators as
well ones who work in southern California. The posters are
written in Spanish. We're going to talk with Bill beluj
and Al Fox News to see what the latest is.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Bill, Hey, John, thanks for having me. Man.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Sure what's going on?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah, So, got a couple tips from federal law enforcement
sources that these posters had started going up in neighborhoods
here in southern California. And what they say in Spanish
is careful with these faces. They say these are armed
agents who work with ICE and HSI, and that they're
racially terrorizing our communities. And then What the posters show
(01:09):
is they've got four ICE and HSI agents with photos
of them with their first and last names, with their
addresses where they're from, and their cell phone numbers, and
they list all of them on these posters, and they
were posted in neighborhoods around southern California. Now we don't
know which activist group is posting these, but there have
(01:29):
been a bunch of different activist groups going out every
single day, dozens of them, going into different neighborhoods and
looking for ICE operations and then when they find them,
they interfere them and interrupt with them. They get on
bullhorns and they yell at the targets, don't open your doors,
don't talk to ICE. They live stream ICE locations on
TikTok and other apps, so people know exactly where ICE
(01:51):
is and it essentially blows up their operations and they
got they got to leave and go elsewhere. So I've
been told that ICE is aware of these posters and
that they're investigating it. And we got a statement from
the FBI which says, you know, they respect people's ability
for free speech, but if you walk close to that
(02:12):
line where you're interfering with law enforcement. You could be
looking at potential prosecution. So that's that's where that's at
right now.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
What is the line?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Can anybody explain exactly how far.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
These people can go before they're breaking federal law?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's the question I have too, because look, if you're
it's perfectly illegal for them to get on these bullhorns
and like yell at the migrants and stuff like that,
you know, that's freedom of speech. Where it might start
getting a little blurry is the fact that they are
they're showing up and interrupting the operations before they can happen.
(02:49):
They're dosing these ice officers with the direct goal of
impeding their operations. And obviously, I mean obviously, if they
were to try to like physically impede, like phily blocked people,
they be arrested immediately. That's one hundred percent interference. But
it seems like it's this blurry gray area. I've had
prosecutors reach out to me who say they think it's
(03:10):
blatant obstruction of justice. What's going on with these activist
groups because they are actively interfering with an active law
enforcement operation, and by doxing these officers with the intent
of ruining that operation, and to harass these officers, they're
also committing a crime that way. I'm not a lawyer.
I don't know. I'll leave that to law enforcement. But
(03:30):
it's really heating up here in Los Angeles. Out of
all the cities I've gone to where I've done ice
in beds, the activists here in LA are by far
the most organized, and they have the biggest numbers. And
one of the organizers was actually on TV on local
media giving interviews boasting. He's saying, like, yeah, we're training people.
We got one hundred and fifty people who get up
(03:50):
at the crack of dawn every day, they go out
in these neighborhoods they look for ice. We're recruiting more
of them on social media. So this anti is activism
is getting even stronger here in Los Angeles. And we
all just saw what happened a couple weeks ago with
all the people taking over the freeways and marching and
blocking streets. So there was initially going to be a
big ICE operation here in LA. A couple of weeks ago,
(04:13):
it got leaked and the whole operation got scrapped. So
a lot going on right now, John, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
There must be some leakers on the inside, the homeland
security of the FBI or ICE. I mean, they must
have cooperation because they're getting a lot of information that's
dead on.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah. And the other problem is too, is they've been
having a lot of cooperation with a bunch of other
federal agencies, FBI at f DEA. Once you start including
the umbrella of all these different federal agencies and you
got hundreds of people involved, the likelihood of somebody saying something,
it goes up significantly, you know. So. I mean, I
was just in Aurora, Colorado a few weeks ago with
(04:53):
what was supposed to be a huge operation there to
go after Venezuelan gang members. Over four hundred federal agents
came up completely empty because it leaked. It leaked, the
targets knew they were coming, and it was a completely
failed op.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Another story we want to get into. There's a Coachella
City councilwoman and she gave an interview. She was sobbing
and crying to local media because her husband was arrested
in a Walmart parking lot by the FBI for ICE,
and she was claiming that he's a good man. My
family was just separated. But there's more to the story
(05:25):
you found out.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh, there's always more to the story, John, So, this
was one of those classic you know, the media interviews
this sobbing woman who records her husband being arrested by
Ice and FBI, as you said, says, the family's being separated.
This is cruel, this is inhuman. The media gobbles it up. Well,
what they left out is this guy is a previously
(05:47):
deported Mexican illegal alien who has a very long rap
sheet with multiple felony convictions including possession of a controlled
substance meth for sale, for trafficking, inflicting corporal injury to
a spouse DUI, and assault with a deadly weapon, that
latest arrest being in twenty twenty three. He's now also
being prosecuted for felony re entry because if you've been
(06:09):
deported before and you cross into the country illegally again,
that is a federal crime. So the Feds are now
looking to prosecute him for that, and that is a
felony punishable by up to two years in prison. So
the reporter when they interviewed this council woman said does
your husband have a criminal record, and she goes, my
husband isn't perfect but he's paid for what he's done,
(06:30):
so she knew he had a criminal history, she just
decided not to disclose it. And this was a targeted operation.
And he is an egregious criminal alien, which is exactly
what ice in the FBI are going after. Also raises questions.
John as TOWAYO Coachelle, an elected official in Coachella, is
apparently harboring a known criminal illegal alien.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Her name is the Adira Perez and I guess she
put on quite a show in that video.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Oh yeah, yes she did. She was sobbing the entire time.
Said it's cruel, it's inhuman and you know, look, we've
seen this happen with media all across the country recently.
They want to hold on to like, they want to
seize on any emotional aspect they can get to say
this is so cruel and they're going after innocent people, YadA, YadA, YadA.
(07:18):
But all you have to do is five minutes of
research sometimes and look beyond the tiers and the sob stories,
and you'll often find that there's a reason that these
people are being targeted. Any parking lot in the middle
of the day and they were the only one arrest.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Right and that was left out of the media story.
His criminal record.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, during the TV broadcast that aired, all the reporter
did was asked, does he have a criminal history, and
she said, he's not perfect, but if he's done anything,
he's paid for what he's done. And they left it
at that. There was no more pushback.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
All right, Bill Mallusian, thank you for coming on, No,
thanks for having me. All right, Bill mllusion from Fox News.
Two stories there, and we'll tell you more details about
this Yadira Perez, the councilwoman, and we'll go deeper into
her husband's criminal allegations, because not criminal allegations, his actual
(08:10):
real history of crimes that he's committed.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
And if the TV media.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Is going to go for sob stories and try to
tug at your heartstrings, we'll tell you the truth, no
matter how brutal it is.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
That's coming up next.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
'ron from one until four o'clock and then after four
o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the iHeart app.
And we just had Build Millujian on from Fox News.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
For two things.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
One is there's a lot of activists here in LA
and southern California who are disrupting ICE raids, showing up
with bullhorns, shouting alerting the bad guys that ICE is
coming to get him, and thwarting, thwarting these missions. And
you know, this is a war out there. The illegal
(09:05):
alien criminals have their own defenders, their own activists. This
is what happens when you have an open border policy
for twenty five years, You are going to get all
kinds of bad characters in. We saw that with the
marches a week or two ago, right, I mean, there's
thousands and thousands of illegal aliens marching and they're waving
(09:28):
the Mexican flags, the El Salvadoran flags, and they're vandalizing
buildings and vandalizing museums and city hall, and they're blocking
the one on one repeatedly, Karen Bass is nothing about
any of this, right, Bass keeps the police pulled back.
God forbid, these marches would be interfered with, God forbid,
the criminals who are vandalizing city hall and museums would
(09:51):
be interfered with. They have a free reign, but ICE
trying to arrest criminals, well, can't have that at and
and you know, there there's a there's a there's a
lot of people who are let into the country who
obviously shouldn't have been. And now they've they've kind of
created their own, their own force, their own vigilanty force
(10:12):
to disrupt law enforcement, ICE and UH homemade security investigators,
FBI investigators. Uh. Let's play a clip here from uh
K E s Q. This is ABC Channel three and
Palm Springs, because it turns out that the woman uh
(10:34):
that we we dyl and I talked about, and her
name is uh, I'm gonna get her name here, uh
Yadira Perez, Coachella City council member. And I guess she
works also for the Sheriff's Department, and it was her
husband who got arrested.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Play this clip.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Continem cover sie on and Immigration and Customs enforcement arrest
this week in Coachell.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
All the time, we have learned.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
The wife of the man arrested has resigned her position
with the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department confirming
tonight saying that Deputy Yadarra Perez resigned for personal reasons.
Perez currently serves as a Coachella city council member as well.
We're told she did not attend a council meeting tonight.
(11:19):
Perez spoke to news Channel three two nights ago, saying
her husband had been arrested by ICE agents earlier that day.
Her husband is now free on bond. News Channel three
obtained the criminal complaint against fifty one year old Sidro Jimenez,
which was part of a targeted operation. In nineteen ninety four,
Jimenez was convicted of trying to sell meth and was
deported the following year. Immigration officials say he was also
(11:43):
convicted of spousal abuse after his illegal re entry into
the country in nineteen ninety eight, driving under the influence
in two thousand and seven, and assault with the deadly
weapon in twenty thirteen. This is video of the arrest
that happened on Monday. Jimenez appeared in court for a
veil hearing Tuesday. In his next hearing is now in April.
(12:03):
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has stated publicly it's placing a
high priority on immigration enforcement and targeting undocumented immigrants with
criminal records, It says poses a threat to public safety,
and when.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
The story first broke, it was just the wife Idir Perez,
crying and sobbing that her husband had been taken away.
And he's not such a bad guy. It took a
while before he found out the truth. And you heard
that anchorman from Palm Springs lay out the case here.
I mean, he was kicked out of the country thirty
(12:39):
years ago. Drug conviction and methamphetamy, that's what he was
trying to sell thirty years ago. That's back when we
enforced immigration laws. But that he came back and then
I don't know who his spouse was, if it was
a different woman, but spousal abuse saught with the deadly weapon.
This guy's a And that's what Trump and Tom Homan
(13:04):
of ice, that's what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
They're getting rid of criminals.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
So now you have organized groups and major politicians like
Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom protecting the criminals. They're trying
to create sanctuary for the criminals that Homan and Trump
want to deport. It is so sick and twisted, but
this is what we have. And then you have television
(13:29):
stations whose first impulse is to go for the sob story.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Oh, we have a crying woman, we have a crying wife.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Secondly, a little while later they go and they dig
up the guys a criminal record, which justifies his deportation. Actually,
if you're here illegally, all deportations are justified. But the
criminals are getting the U the priority now on this stuff.
And it's it's just so. But you know this, it's
(13:57):
going to be a long term more. And I everybody
knows what we're getting into here because this place had
gone to hell for the last twenty five years. I mean,
we've got a million legal illegal aliens here and and
that causes problems all over the place. You got you
got too many, too many kids stuffed in the classrooms.
(14:17):
You've got too much money blown on healthcare. You've got
you know, budgets are out of whack. You have extremely
limited expensive housing because you know, those million people have
to live somewhere, so that's taken a lot of housing
off the market.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You know what you'll get is, oh, you're blaming everything
on illegal aliens.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
It's like, you know what, most of the major issues
we have in the state can be connected to illegal immigration.
Because when you import a million people, almost all of
them are in the poverty range. Many of them have
next to no educations. The young guys, A lot of
them are trouble.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
That, you know, the number of illegal aliens, gangs, and
gang members in this state is big. So whether it's crime,
it's it's how much money we spend on healthcare, it's
how much money we have to spend on the schools,
you know, and we're kind and we have and you
wonder why we have half a fire department. I mean,
look at all the money that we have to spend
on illegal alien related needs. It's tens of billions of
(15:19):
dollars every year in the state and in the city.
I mean, it's it's it's it's terrible. And all they're
trying to do is get rid of the criminals, the
people actually hurting us and hurting people in their own neighborhoods,
and here come the crazed activist groups and it's just
but it's it's like homelessness when you don't do when
(15:42):
you don't nip it right at the beginning, as soon
as it's happening, right as soon as illegal aliens started
coming over the border, especially during the Bush administration, you
block it. I mean Pete Wilson, you know, tried Prop
one eighty seven, the way back in nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
That was over thirty years ago. Yet have to try,
you have to blocket.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Now it's metastasized and everything's out of control here and
all the good.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
You know what, It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
I marvel that when I look at polling and the
news media has about a thirty percent trust rate in
this country, which means thirty percent of the people believe
what they see. I don't know who those people are,
but I guess it must be you know, people on
the left wing who want to see left wing news
and they enjoy the slant. But when you've lost seventy
percent of the country, it means you're putting out bad
(16:34):
product that nobody believes.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
So what do they do?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
They keep putting out bad product that nobody's going to believe.
If I see a sob story involving a woman who's
crying because her legal alien husband or son or brother
was cartered off unfairly, no, I'm not getting the kleenex. Okay,
I'm not going to be tearing up here. I'll immediately
know it's like, okay, emotional manipulation time. You want me
(16:57):
to feel sorry for her and you're not going to
tell me the backs about how many crimes he's committed to,
how many people he's hurt, just automatically.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
That's the way it is.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
By the way, coming after two o'clock, we're gonna have
Lower Angel on from News Nation. We've been waiting on
Pam Bondi, the Attorney General, because she had said that
the Department of Justice was going to release the Epstein
files today. We thought they'd be out by now, and
there's a delay because it looks like the FBI may
(17:27):
have been holding back on a lot of files.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Now, what is that pile of documents about?
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Because Bondi said that the pile of documents she has
will make you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Sick over two hundred and fifty victims.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
She says, what the documents she knows about will make
you sick? Then she finds out the FBI is holding
out other things, and I think we all know what
this is about. There must be a lot of politically
connected people, government officials, elected officials, celebrities who were involved
(18:00):
in the Epstein sewer, and the FBI is corrupt. So
I can't believe any records exist. I would have thought
they'd all been shredded and burned by now. So anyway,
we're gonna talk to Lori Angle coming up after two
o'clock we come back. I also have to tell you
by my incredibly frustrating evening last night after the show,
(18:23):
I missed out, you know, and it turns out you
could have.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Saved me and you didn't even know it. I had.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
I wasn't gonna bring that part out.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
It's the first thing I'm gonna go to is blame
you for this, and then your tantrum, and then I yes,
and then incredibly frustrating ordering lunch I've had last twenty
four hours sucked, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
You ever get in those.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Yes, yesterday it happened. It took me two and a
half hours to get to work.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
And then John, when I came in here to do
the news, the sound wasn't working and I had to
go elsewhere to do it.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
And you knocked the station off the air just a
few minutes and then I did.
Speaker 6 (18:59):
Yeah, so my bad karma has rubbed off.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, I know it's surrounding me. Well, I'll tell you
all about it, because that's the real breaking news.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
You're listening to John Kobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
We are on from one until four every day. Moistline
is tomorrow. How are we doing on the moistline? We
give you some Well, we got some vacancy eight seven
seven moist eighty six. See, we get plenty of calls,
it's just they're not all usable and Eric has got
to make the determination. Eight seven seven Moist eighty six
(19:35):
eight seven seven sixty six four seven eight eighty six.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So last yesterday after the show was about as frustrating
a situation without it being connected to any kind of
like a tragedy. Right, this was as frustrating as I've
had in a long time. I have never enjoyed having
a phone.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Never.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
I got my first phone, I think twenty five years ago.
My wife insisted, Right, we just had a couple of
kids and she wanted Ken and I were doing a
morning show back then, and she just wanted access to me,
you know, in the dark with the kids at home.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
So all right, I mean it was a flip phone.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
And you know, I've had an internet email, you know,
for thirty years, and so it's not like I just.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm not adjusting.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
I've adjusted for a long time, but it's always irritated
me and I when I get nostalgic, I get nostalgic
for days where I wasn't connected and there wasn't a
screen and nobody else was looking at screens and people
were communicating. And I know it was better. I don't
care what people say it was better. This is insanity.
Everybody's a nation of addicts. So because all this information
(20:53):
is loaded up in your phone, and because everybody wants
to contact you all the time, we all are forced
to carry these things. So I now this is I've
learned something just about the modern world here at the station.
And also I got to realize how one little mistake
can unleash a cascade of problems. I went to lunch
(21:17):
yesterday and a little bit of my cheeseburger fell out
of the bun onto my shirt, leaving a mark right
in front.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'm surprised that you cared.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
No, I do.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
I don't like food stains, and I thought I that
was a nice shirt too, and you know stains can.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Set and you have I know.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I'm just impressed that that bothered you.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah, no, food stain guys really like offend me. So
I come here and I make a decision. I could
have come up to the fourth floor bathroom and got
it done, but there's there's a bathroom on the bottom
floor as you're entering the lobby.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
It's off to the side. Nobody uses it.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
I've gone in one of those and I figure stop
there and I'll just rub it out, which I did.
I left my phone on the counter. That's the only
sin I committed. I left the phone on the counter,
took the service elevator upstairs. We did the show. We
had a good time. Conway comes in here at four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I go out.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
I can't find my phone on my iPad. I have
the Find my Phone app. Find my Phone app told
me that my phone was in a wing of the
building where Ray has his office and Oscar Operations manager
has his office. But by time I figured this out,
(22:36):
Ray was gone, Oscar was gone, raised off. His door
was open, so I went in there. I was briefly
in his office, just for a few seconds, and there's
no phone there, and I'm setting off. You know, the
alarm on the phone, right I set it off over
one hundred times in the next three hours and couldn't
never heard it except maybe once. And now this signal
(23:00):
on this thing is bouncing around for a while. It
told me I was was my phone was outside on
a grass area outside of Oscars and raised window.
Speaker 6 (23:10):
I heard about that you're wandering around.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I was wandering around the building.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
A security guard actually let me through a gate and
I'm walking on a dirt berm right next to the
one thirty four freeway. Bike climbed up to the top
and falling over to the other side. I would have
been run over by traffic, all right, because this building
is built right up against the one thirty four.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
You can see it as you drive by. And you
know who joined me on this excursion.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Michael, Yes, oh I know he he.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
He gave quite a lot of details about you. John.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Well.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
When well, apparently when Michael's done with his news work,
he has nothing to do, because I found him sitting
on a bench.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Well because the traffic is so bad, John, he was
waiting for the traffic to die down.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Are you kind of lucked out?
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I said, what are you waiting for a bus? And
I told her what the problem? And he goes, oh,
come and help you, And I said, well, you really
have nothing to do, but he did. He started, He
came around and we were trying to figure this thing out.
I ran into a security card along the way and
he opened it up, and it's like, well, there's obviously
no phone on the grass and the dirt here because
you can't get here. It's all gated in and it's bound,
(24:17):
you know, it's cut off by the highway. So I
go back up and I'm setting off. I'm going back
to every spot, including that bathroom. I went to the
original bathroom.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
So I was going to say, did you go to
the bathroom?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Went to the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I don't go too many places, you know that, right
Once I come here, I go into your crazy booth there,
I go into the bathroom, not much else. And so
this was baffling, you know, it became like a gripping mystery.
My iPad says the phone is here. It says the
phone is here, and I can't and there's only so
(24:50):
many places I went. Well, I didn't know. Is somebody
who works in the building. I'm not going to give
his name. I know he was doing the right thing.
He picked the phone off the counter in the bathroom
and he brought it up to the fifth floor where
we have a security desk. It's where guests are supposed
to go. It's a reception there. Well after four point thirty,
(25:11):
those guys are home. So the guy who found my
phone left a note on it and put it on
the counter up there, and I set.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
The alarm one hundred times.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But so few people work here now, because normally that
should be a busy place, because everybody's leaving on the
fifth floor. A lot of salespeople are up there. They
leave on the fifth floor to get to the elevator.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
And go home.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
But nobody goes home anymore because nobody comes here. You
can't go home if you didn't show up to begin with.
I try to get a phone, try to find a
phone line so I can call my wife, so I
can call Apple, because the Apple thing insisted the phone
was here. There are no phones in the building anymore.
I discovered not only are there no longer people in
(25:59):
the building, there are no phones.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
It took the phones off the desks on the fourth
floor about six months ago.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, I vaguely remember some activity. I didn't realize they
took every phone in the building.
Speaker 6 (26:10):
I think there's a phone or two in the newsroom.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
There is but I couldn't work it. Eventually I got
hold of a phone, and eventually I called Apple, which
put me on hold for twenty five minutes. Then I
tried talking to an Apple bot in a chat boy.
I hate those things, but they were of no information.
(26:35):
The guy shared my screen with the Apple chat and
he goes, yeah, it looks like it's there. It's like, well,
I know it's there, but how do I know where
it's there?
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Maybe you should go up to another floor. Well I
wasn't up on the fifth floor, but that's where the
phone mistaken. I never went up there. Had I gone
up there because I'd set off the ringer so many times.
Then I come in today I find out you knew
about this. You could have saved me an hour.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Wait, wait, no, no, no, that that is that's actually not
totally true. A very nice sales lady sent me an
email yesterday at exactly six thirteen pm and it says, Hi, Deborah,
do you know anyone on the ams that lost a phone?
There's one at the front desk that was found in
a bathroom. And I think I saw your name on
one of the texts, Michelle, So I said no, I'm
(27:23):
not at work and I haven't heard anything, but i'll
ask around tomorrow. I never thought it was you, and
I started going back to thinking, Okay, I know that
I texted Jason and he's he is our news director.
I know that I texted Michael Monks because I was late.
Somebody went through the text and then you and Jay
and Eric and Ray, and I thought, well, what if
(27:46):
you guys probably would have reached out to me somehow,
or I would have heard that you that you were
missing a phone your wife.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
So I just thought, okay, I'll figure it out.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Oh and then she also in a follow up text,
said that she was going to have somebody send out
an email to everybody asking about.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Their Well yeah, yeah, somebody, somebody in management or somebody
in building management eventually got an email about it a
couple of hours later. Yeah, and they pieced the story together.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And that's not my fault. Job, I.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Think is if if you find somebody's phone, if you
go to settings, their name pops up.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
The owner of the phone, Oh well your phone was.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Wait, yeah, don't you have a password, because you can't
get into my phone.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
The password only it only locks twice a day. Like
first thing in the morning and twelve hours later in
the evening. I don't use a pass code except when
it forces me to.
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Okay, for this reason, I was wondering how my name
popped up on your text for somebody to see.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I don't know. Well, you can't slide down on an
iPhone and you can see messages with the phone being locked. Yeah,
so I note if it did any good?
Speaker 7 (28:53):
Okay, But then okay, so how did you find what's
the resolution?
Speaker 6 (28:57):
How did you finally find it?
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (29:00):
Well, the guy in building management called Oscar. Oscar called
Mike Rozier. I think that's how it went. I got
to ask Krozer when he comes in, and then the
Crozier goes, oh, John, I think I know where your
phone is.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Apparently, through through the.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Through the chain, everybody realized that it was taken to
the security deck. But from four o'clock till seven o'clock
I was here wandering all the hallways.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I never sat down. I'm walking around the building.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
Yeah, Eric says, lucky for you, the security video doesn't
look too too great. Yeah, because well, he wanted to
post it on social media.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Enough.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I wasn't having a.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
Fit, No, I just wanted you with your iPad looking
around searching shit.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
You should have gotten me on the phone call.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
On the phone call too, you need to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I was in the bathroom, Well that was happening, and
I can overhear it through the walls.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Of I went to this sandwich place and they gave
me somebody else's sandwich.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Yeah, somebody else's last name.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Oh yeah, yeah, it was both John's. So I called
up the place and I was just saying, do you
guys know how to read? I don't know how to read. No,
you don't know how to because it's not the first
time it's happened. It's about the third time it's happened.
They don't know how to read. My favorite was like,
I have a job. I can't come back to get
my access.
Speaker 7 (30:13):
I told them to say that. I said, you need
to tell them that you're going on the radio. You
cannot go back. They need to deliver it to you.
And what was what did they say when you said
you need a sandwich?
Speaker 2 (30:22):
I have to No, I have to go to them.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
I say, no, you need to come to me. I
told you I would have handled it. You're afraid, I was.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
We were going to get sued mighty four to eleven recorder.
I don't want to see you at a rage, all right.
We got more coming up. I got real news coming up.
And then after two o'clock Loura Engele from News Nation
on the Jeffrey Epstein List, when is it going to
come out already?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
And is it really new stuff?
Speaker 4 (30:49):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from kf I
am sixty.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
Coming up after two o'clock. Are we ever going to
get the all the Epstein details? There's a lot of
them out there. The Attorney General, Pam Bondi says, it's
pretty sick supposed to come out today, then it wasn't,
but maybe some stuff was released anyway, And I want
new stuff, all right. I already know the cast of
characters that was going to his dinner parties and flying
(31:16):
on planes and frolicking around Pedophile Island. But supposedly there's
a lot of new stuff and new detail. We will
get to that maybe coming up after two o'clock. I
want to play you this news story from Fox eleven,
cut number two, Coco Macca Boy. If you haven't heard,
but the Huntington Park Mayor's house was raided. Also, some
(31:40):
current and former council members are all being investigated big
corruption case. This is what I tell you. Most of
these people are thieves in government play cut too.
Speaker 8 (31:52):
LA County District Attorney Nathan Hoffman says it's the duty
of his office to investigate any possible misuse of pop funds.
So there's now a big corruption probe in the city
of Huntington Park and City Hall. Here is taped off
while the investigation continues. Take a look at this video
so we can show you and explain more of what's
happening here. Investigators served a series of search warrants at
(32:16):
Huntington Park, City Hall and at the homes of the
city's mayor and some current and former council members. The
investigation started in twenty twenty two and focuses on the
potential misuse of millions of dollars in public funds that
we're supposed to go towards the construction of an aquatic
center at the Salt Lake Park in Huntington Park. Warrants
were served at city Hall, a public works facility, and
(32:40):
the Salt Lake Park itself. Several items were seized from
each location, including public records financial paperwork, computers, tablets, cell phones,
and other equipment.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Here's some reaction to the news.
Speaker 9 (32:53):
There's an estimated fourteen million dollars, give or take, that
has been expanded by the city, and that from those
funds the city has, the residents of the city have
only received an empty lot.
Speaker 8 (33:06):
They're also growing calls now for a state investigation, so
we'll really have to see what happens here. We did
reach out to officials here at city Hall for response,
but we have not yet heard back.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
You want to hear the names and the jobs these
people have. It's the warrants were served at the homes
of Mayor Karina Massias, a councilman Eduardo Eddie Martinez, city
manager Ricardo Reis. Search warrants were served for former council
members Garcielo Ortiz, Maryland Sinabria, a former city official Ephren Martinez,
(33:44):
the offices of United Consulting Services in Huntington Park, the
homes of EDVN Saturian and Sonya Vardikian, the owners of
JT Construction Group. Fourteen million dollars. They had to build
an aquatic center. No aquatic center. And by the way,
the rest of that quote from the vice mayor or
tour of flores Is. There's an estimated fourteen million dollars
(34:06):
and the residents of the city have only received an
empty lot with dead grass and nothing to show for
those millions of dollars. So Nathan Hockman's staff is continuing
the investigation. They've had the search warrants executed. This is
what goes on every day in a thousand different ways.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Fourteen million poof. Now you think that people.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
When they walked by that site every day and they
saw the empty the empty lot, the dead grass. Maybe
some of them knew that fourteen million was spinding. They
probably so, I wonder where the money went? What happened
to the money? Is the same thing when you hear
about the high speed rail. It's like, I wonder where
the money went. They stole it, That's what happened. They
(34:55):
stole the money. Oh wow, all those billions of dollars
for homeless and look at all the homeless around.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
Where did it go?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
They stole it. That's what people in public life do.
They're not devoted public civil they're not civil servants. They're thieves.
They're crooks. That's what many of them are. That's why
they got into the business, and then they attract their
friends and relatives and the pitch is, hey, you would
have believed how easy it is to steal money. Come
join me, be my assistant, my deputy. You know, I'll
(35:23):
put you in charge of this office. Yeah, and you
can steal with me. In fact, now we can steal more.
All right, we come back Jeffrey Epstein. If they're not
stealing money, public officials are having wild sex with underage
teenagers in some cases. And that's what Jeffrey Epstein supplied,
(35:44):
as you know. And today was the day that Pambondi,
the Attorney General, said, well, we're going to release a
lot of the names and a lot of the documents,
and it's a lot of sick stuff. But so far
it hasn't been released. We'll get more with lore Angel
from Newsdation. Coming up Debora Mark Live twenty four our newsroom. Hey,
