Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
App every day from one till four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Anytime you miss something, you go to John Cobelt's show
on demand after four o'clock, same as the radio show.
And again I'm highlighting the two o'clock interview we did.
Michael mcche, professor at USC Marshall School of Business, said
the high gas prices in California it's self inflicted by
the government. It is the government that's created the high
(00:31):
gas prices because of all their taxes and regulations, and
the oil companies have not engaged widespread price gouging or profiteering.
We're at four dollars and ninety five cents today in
California for gas, and in Mississippi it's two seventy five
and many other states are under three dollars as well,
(00:54):
and it's just outrageous and they lie to you until
you it's the oil companies a complete lie. I want
to see Gavin Newsom run on the big lie. We'll
be on top of this. We're not going to let
that go because there's another sixty five cent increase coming Anyway,
(01:14):
two o'clock on the podcast, you should listen to that
Supreme Court has said Donald Trump can use the Alien
Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight to deport Venezuelan criminal gangsters.
These these violent criminals that were released from Venezuelan prisons
(01:35):
Trendy Iragua and they can be sent to El Salvador.
This is a big win for Trump. And we are
now going to talk to Art Arthur from the Center
for Immigration Studies.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Art, welcome again. How are you, John.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I'm doing great and sorry to hear betch gas prices
out here in North Carolina. We're about two dollars and
eighty cents, and life is.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Good to eighty.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I have a son that lives in North Carolina right now,
so I know how good life is there two dollars.
In fact, I'm going to North Carolina this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
To seep I.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
We'll play a little golf, maybe hang out on the.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Course for a while.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I want to find some way to smuggle gas back
to California.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't know if that's feasible.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
All right, this is a big deal because people have
been squealing for weeks and weeks after Trump used the
Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight to deport Trendy
Iragua Venezuelan gang members to a prison in al Salvador.
I think most people who follow the news are familiar
with this story. What did the Supreme Court say?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So? The Supreme Court said that a challenge to the
deportation of Trendy Iragua members that the Trump administration attempted
to implement and to a degree did implement under the
Alien Enemies Act, you should not be heard in the
District Court for the District to Columbia, which is the
(03:03):
seat of government, but instead it should be heard in
habeas cases individual habeas cases in the districts in which
those individuals are being held, and all of those individuals
are being held in South Texas, much more Trump friendly
jurisdictions for the cases, but more importantly, the proper venue
for individuals who are facing removal and being detained while
(03:26):
facing removal from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act.
It was a sharp rebuke to Chief Judge James Boberg
of the US District Court, the all powerful US District
Court for the District to Columbia. But Judge Boseburg doesn't
show much sign of backing down quite yet, even.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
No Supreme Court issued its opinion.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Even though the Supreme Court issued its opinion. If you remember,
if we go back, there were flights that had taken
off while Judge Boseburg on a Saturday was considering a
motion by five plaintiffs to create a class for all
alleged Trende Ragua members who are facing removal under the
(04:08):
Alien Enemies Act. And you know, he ordered the planes
to be turned around, and he probably didn't have that authority,
but that didn't happen, and so there began a extended argument,
certainly in the d C Press, over you know, whether
Trump administration officials had acted in contempt of the judges order,
the judges still apparently considering those contempt actions. And he's
(04:34):
also you know, requesting breathing from some of the plaints
with respect to a injunction of the considering. So notwithstanding, again,
this is not anything I heard in the courts, things
that I've read online, but I'm so fascinated about apparently,
you know, he hasn't quite given up the ghost, but
the Justices has spoken this positively. The case isn't properly
venued in the District of Columbia. It's not. It can't
(04:58):
be considered under the Administrative Seizures Act. It can only
be considered under the Great Writ Habeas corpus.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So, So in the meantime, Trump can keep using this
act to deport these criminal aliens.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, absolutely so. But before it does that, it does
have to give those individuals, you know, notice that they're
going to be deported out of the Alien Enemies Act
and an opportunity to go before a district court judge
in Texas, not on DC, so that it can't have
any challenges to the detention, you know, potentially to their
(05:31):
status as Trended Aragua members, and possibly even to the
constitutionality of the president's action. I think the President's on
pretty good constitutional grounds. And honestly, John, it's funny when
we talk about Trendy Aragua because you know, if I
ask you, or ask most people on the street, the
first thing you would say is apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
But you know, if you pull back the lens a
little bit, trend Aragua is a majorminal organization. You know,
I would compare it to the mafia. But honestly, it engages
in a lot more political crime than the mafia does.
They've been accused of dressing up as Chilean police officers,
kidnapping a Venezuelan oppositionist in Santiago, and murdering that individual.
(06:16):
And if we go back to the Biden administration, not
so many months ago, the Department of State put a
twelve million dollar bounty on the heads of the three
major leaders of Trende Aragua, not because of anything that
happened in the United States, not because of a roar
or any other town that these people have come to,
but because of the violence and the crime that they're
(06:36):
wreaking in Colombia, neighbored to Venezuela, in a constant rival
of the Maduro government. So you know, this is a
really sophisticated operation. If you read the President's presidential proclamation
where he declares Trende Aragua to be a terrorist organization
subject to removal under the Alien Enemies Act, you really
(07:00):
start to understand why exactly the President says that this
organization poses a danger not just to communities in the
United States and to our streets, but to the very
United States itself. Here's one thing that he says quote
PDA Trende Aragua is closely aligned with and indeed has
infiltrated the Maduro regime, including its military and law enforcement apparatus,
(07:24):
and supports the Maduro regime's goal of destabilizing democratic nations
from the Americas, including the United States. This isn't a
bunch of guys running around with ar fifteens in apartment building.
This is a serious criminal organization. And that's not an overstatem,
and it's just one that's underreported in the United States.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That was unleashed by the government of a hostile nation.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, not only a hostile nation, but a nation that
hates us, a nation whose leader we claim is a
dictator who sees power. You know, after a rig the
election still went against him. So yeah, this isn't you know,
this is an intractable enemy of the United States. But nonetheless,
the Biden administration still allowed major oil companies, back to
(08:11):
our earlier conversation, to continue to buy oil and to
continue to prop up that regime. Maduro can't have it
both ways. He's either going to join the Community of
Nations and put a leash on the hounds that are
trend Aragua or he's going to have to go his
own way, and that'll mean more poverty and more heartbreak
for the people of Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Is there any legal problem that Trump sent these criminals
to El Salvador to that Megamax prison. Does that violate
any rights that they have.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
In any way?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It's funny because you know, most people, when you talk
about deportation, we send you back home. But the Immigration
and Nationality Act actually permits the government to send an
individual to any country that will take them. Now, most
countries won't take criminals, but the naive Bukele of El
Salvador has a different take on the whole thing. He runs,
(09:05):
you know, very large, spacious, well lighted prisons and he's
willing to accept American funding to you know, house individuals there.
But again, you know, remember that Trump, the Trump administration
invoked the State Secrets Act when Judge Bosberg wanted, you know,
information about these flights and where they went. I'm not
(09:27):
saying that this is true, and it's pure speculation, but
I wouldn't be surprised. We don't have intelligence from our
foreign partners in the Americas, including from El Salvador, and
that many of those countries don't want those trend Aragua
leaders to be released back to Venezuela where they're going
to continue to prey upon populations in Bolivia and Chile
(09:48):
and Colombia. They want them locked up in Seacot, which
is the mega prison in El Salvador.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
All right, thank you very much for coming on. Arthur
from the Center for Immigration staff. He's Trump winning a
big round in court. He can keep sending legal alien
criminal gang members from Venezuela to a president in El
Salvador and deport them to that prison that is still
on for now. All right, Art, thanks for coming on again.
(10:17):
Thanks so much, John, we come back. We just had
Bill of Sale on the other day. He was getting
a new job as the US Attorney for Los Angeles
and he has unleashed a new investigation on the homeless
industry here in Los Angeles County. Yeah, it's going to
(10:39):
be a special investigation to look for all the corruption
that I'm telling you exists and has existed for a
long time. Explain it. Coming up, BILLI Sale. We'll be
on our show later this week, but I'll tell you
what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
You're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Follow us at John Cobolt Radio and social media. John
Cobelt Radio. Now, God, we've got so much. We've got
so much it's spilling over into tomorrow the next day.
That's all I can say. You keep listening every hour
every day.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
After three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I want to play more clips from Karen Bass's appearance
on a podcast called The Daily Beans.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What's it? What you said after three o'clock? It's already
after three thirty?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Wake up in there.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
After three thirty, Oh, says the yawning Queen, the Queen
of the yawns.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Not too many today? Huh, not too many?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Doctor Allison gil Is excuse me, doctor Allison gil She
her hosts a podcast called The Daily Beans, and she
had she was kissing Karen Bass's ass and giving her
a tongue.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Bath, and John thinks she's hot. Yeah. Yeah, it's one
of those.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There's a certain catategory of woman hot but really annoying,
and I imagine that she falls into that category because
she was kissing up to Karen Bass and acting like did.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
They talk about the fire? I guess they did talk
about the fire?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Right yet?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Okay? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I might have to play more tomorrow, We'll play We'll
come back. Bill Salley was on our show just a
few days ago. He's been the newly appointed US attorney
for Los Angeles. He has to get uh Senate confirmation
for that.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And you know he he is a bulldog.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I knew day one he was going to go after something,
and he is going after the homeless criminal nonprofit complex here.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
He's got a criminal task force to investigate potential fraud
and corruption involving local homelessness funds. And he said there
will be arrests if federal laws have been broken. Uh,
there was a news release today he said there's millions
of dollars in federal funds that have been alligated, allocated
(13:07):
to address homelessness. And then the court ordered audit from
David o'carter that found big problems. You know, there's two
billion dollars that can't be accounted for.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
They don't know exactly where it went or what it did.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
And as Sale said, taxpayers deserve answers for where and
how their hard earned money has been spent. If state
and local officials cannot provide proper oversight and accountability, we
will do it for them. And it's the homelessness, fraud
and corruption task for US. I have been pounding on
this for years, but we had one We have a
(13:43):
one party city and a one party state and for
the last few years that one party has held the presidency,
and so there were no investigations done. But there is
no way there isn't criminal activity going on.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
La County must have known something was coming because they
have withdrawn their money from LASA. LASA was defunded from
the county end. Now the other end of their funding
was La City and Debri. You had a story today
that some city council people are saying they're going to
pull out to Yo.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
They're trying to figure out, now what's next because of
LASA going away.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Why do you think this happened here?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The audit from the federal judge found billions of dollars
unaccounted for the head of LASA. Suddenly quits, LASA gets
defunded by the county, may get defunded by the city,
and now Bill A. Sale is doing a federal investigation.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Boy, they they.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Got they they smelled what's going on. They got a
whiff of what's coming here. I can't imagine how many
shredders are operating right now in LASA offices and in
city councilmen offices.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Do you want to hear what Marquis Harris Dawson said.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, he's the council president. Okay, so I'll read this.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
So the La City Council is voted to figure out
what comes next for the city and the way it
deals with homelessness. Council President Marquise Harris Dawson says, with
La County pulling its funding from LASA, there's no point
in the city remaining as the sole member.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
I don't know how this city will sit on a
board where we're giving money to it and the other
side is not, and they have as many votes as
we do. Like, no reasonable entity is going to agree
to that.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
So city staff is going to be creating report on
the next steps.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The next steps got everybody, everybody burned the files, shred
the files, hide all those secret accounts that you have,
all points bulletin. Go now to everyone connected into the
homeless industry, including all these politicians running the city in
the county. You better call up your brother in law
and your sister and your high school buddies and let
(15:56):
him know the jig is up that the fraud is
coming to an end.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Bill A. Sale is going to do a massive investigation.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Along with federal, state and local programs to get federal
money and funding. The task force will investigate fraud schemes
involving the theft of private donations intended to provide support
and services for the homeless population. That's according to the
US Attorney's Office. We have seventy five thousand people that
(16:27):
are homeless in LA County, seventy five thousand, and then
at the remaining six counties in a Sales district and
the population is up to over ninety five thousand. Boy,
there's been more activity in the last week regarding this
homeless agency in La and all the funding and the
(16:48):
city and the county and the judge and now the
US Attorney's office. Then I can remember. Ever, you take
the last like ten twenty years combined, and there's been
more activity because everybody knows that they're getting busted. This
criminal operation is finally going to be busted up. All right,
we come back. Earlier in the show, he played a
(17:10):
couple of clips from the Daily Beans podcast. Doctor Alison
Gill she her and she had Karen Bass on and
listen early on I played clips of Bass cutting red
tape to solve homelessness. I want to play some of
Oh look at it's like the same language, cutting red
tape to deal with the fire?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Where is this red tape? How did that fire start
in the Palace States?
Speaker 6 (17:36):
If we know yet?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah? Where's the federal investigation into that? More coming up.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
We're on every day one until four and after four
o'clock John Covelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,
and special attention to the two o'clock hour, hour two.
On the podcast, you'll hear Michael Missche USC Marshall School
of Business professor. He did a long term study based
on fifty years of data California's high gas prices caused
(18:09):
by the government self inflicted and it's all their taxes,
the regulations, the policies, and he says the economic evidence
is abundant. California oil refiners have not engaged in price gouging, profiteering,
price manipulation on a widespread basis. Everything Gavin Newsom has
said is a lie. Listen to Michael Mische and that's
(18:32):
in our two of the podcast that you get on
the iHeartRadio app posted after four o'clock. Now, speaking of podcasts,
Karen Bass found a suck up tongue bail named doctor
Allison Gill she her I checked and Bass was carrying
(18:55):
on about in previous clips that we played cutting through
the rede to solve almost this. Now it's about cutting
the red tape for the fire recovery.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
Play cut four Los Angeles's recovery time from disasters compared
to other, you know, other municipalities.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I believe when I was talking to some of your.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
Staff, this is that like restoration to water and power
after the campfire that took like eighteen months, but in
LA it took far shorter period of time. Talk about that,
and again, I think this has a lot to do
with the you know, for the reasons you were able
to cut homelessness and bring crime down a comprehensive approach
and cutting red tape exactly right.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
And so one of the first things that we did
was we had an emergency declaration, which then gave me
the authority to expedite other things such as cutting the
red tape so that people can begin the rebuilding process.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It very very quickly. Stop so you stop four building permits? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
How come she didn't declare it this executive order emergency
when she got all the extreme fire warnings five days
before the fire? Did doctor Allison Gill? She her asked
her about that? Uh huh, Jesus makes me crazy?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Right, play some more so you are correct.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Water and power was restored within a couple of months
in the Palisades. And I think what a lot of
people might not realize was that stop.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, the water is restored, but there's ten thousand homes missing.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
But you can get war.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You can get water out of the hydrants now, you know,
go turn on a hydrate, water comes out.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Did they fill the reservoir?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Did this dippy, doctor Allison gil Did she ask about
the the reservoir not being filled?
Speaker 9 (20:49):
No, that didn't come up, not a single second. I
listened to all twenty plus minutes of this interview. You did, Yes,
bless you.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You welcome. I play some more.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
A lot of people might not realize is that there
were a lot of homes that weren't destroyed or the
damage was minimal like smoke damage, and they were able
to clear it out, and so there are people that
are living in the Palisades right now because of the
efforts of the Army Corps of Engineers in terms of
removing the debris. We're going to announce soon that almost
(21:25):
a thousand properties are ready for rebuilding right now. In
the other fires, Paradise, Woolseley, Lahana, that it took them
months and months and months, in some instances over a
year eighteen months before rebuilding can begin.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Army carve Engineers would be the federal government. They're the
ones doing the cleanup, not Karen Bassett's administration. All right,
let's play cut number five. Oh, it's the one stop
shop for fire victims.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
I set up a one stop shop so that homeowners
can come in in all twelve city departments, where in
normal circumstances you have to drive all over the city
to the different buildings to get your permits and to
get your plans approved.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Well, stop a second, why don't you have a one
stop shop all year round for people in the city.
Why do you have to drive all over the city
in normal times. I don't understand all these emergency declarations.
Isn't this way we should live? Shouldn't there be one
stop shops all over the city in different sections. You know,
(22:37):
I have a couple of you know, one of the
we east Valley, one in the West Valley, one on
the west side, one on the east side, one in
the south, one downtown.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
It should be one stop shops everywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Why do you only do it when there's a fire,
When there's a natural disaster, suddenly the red tape is cut.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Why does the red tape exist at all?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
If you can cut it and it makes it much
more efficient in a disaster, why shouldn't it be cut forever?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Nobody ever even asks that? Why is all this regulation?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Now there's gonna be eight nine thousand homes built in
the Palisades supposedly quickly, relatively quickly.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Well, why can't everybody enjoy that all the time? Some more?
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Well, now you know you can go to one place.
We are trying to wave as many fees as possible.
Some we can't wave because they're in law. But we're
trying to reduce and wave fees so that people can
get the law and running and building. And you know,
as mayor, I only represent the Palisades. I don't represent
Altadena or Malibu, and so that is my sole focus.
(23:45):
But I work in strong collaboration with Catherine Barger, who
is the chair of the County Board of Supervisors. Lindsey
Horvak represents Malibu, Catherine represents Altadena.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Shop stop. All right, we got to take a break.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
We come back, she's gonna be talking about cleanup, and
they want to make sure they have an especially successful
cleanup because the World Cup is coming. This is like
Behen Gavin Newsom cleaned up San Francisco for the Chinese premiere.
How come they do the big cleanup when there's an
(24:19):
outside event and international visitors are arriving. But for us,
for every day, we have to drive twelve different places
to get twelve different permits to build a house, and
then we've got to step over all the homeless people
and play the play Poop Hop Scotch, jump over the needles.
But with the World Cup coming, oh, everything's gonna be
cleaned up. I hate that they hold us in such contempt,
(24:43):
and we let them hold us.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
In contempt and treat us this way. That's what's infuriating.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We've been playing clips of Karen Bass on this podcast
called The Daily Beans with the Doctor Alison Gill, who's
when she's not listening to Karen Bass, she's just slurping
all over her. This clip is about the city and
county collaborating and you're going to hear Mayor Bass talk
(25:15):
about cleaning up, especially for the World Cup coming next year.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Cut seven.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
You're not the mayor of Malibi, you're not the mayor
of Altadina, but there are so many Angelinos who work
in those areas, like you said, that were impacted angel
and that is why I think the collaboration, aside from
cutting through the red tape and all of the other
benefits of collaborating with other leaders, other local leaders, is
so important because everybody in every city is impacted by
(25:44):
the other city.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
M H.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Exactly right.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
We are all interdependent and this is the time for
Angelinos to come together. And so you saw that right
after the fires. You saw thousands of people turn out
and volunteer and come up with supplies and other things
that people might need who lost everything. So we want
to keep that spirit going because you're Afril twenty six,
we're going to have a city wide activation where we're
(26:10):
calling on people to help get our city ready because
in a little over a.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Year we're going to have the.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
World Cup here, So we want people out cleaning and
planting trees and removing green can do that, and so
I'm hoping that you're millions or taxes will think about
attending on twenties.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
She wants us to clean up and plant trees. I'm busy,
I'm working all day. You have lots of my tax money,
lots of my tax money, and you don't have people
to clean and plant trees. Oh that's a lot of nerve. Yeah,
I gotta go and plant trees for her. What happened
to your plate tree planting department?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Good? I had a feeling you were going to like
this podcast. Save the other clips.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
You got it all right, probably a whole showing it
conways here.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, Eric, same for me.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
We'll play him, give Tim a free show. What the hell,
we'll burn him out before John gets them tomorrow. Play
them all over for three hours. We've got Alan Hamilton
coming on. He's the chief detective for the LAPD. I
talk about this poor kid that was killed, Oscar Fernandez.
Thirteen year old kid goes to his soccer coaches out
(27:22):
in the Annelov Valley and gets wiped out.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I mean, it's on who hired the coach. I don't know,
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
And there's there's a lot of horrible angles to this story.
Lots lots of people let this kid down.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, and the coach is here illegally too. Oh is
that right? That's what I heard?
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Yeah, all right, well wait, maybe sixty minutes. We'll do
a piece on that, because they did a piece on
sending guys to Guatemala and El Salvador and how that's
wrong unfair.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Right, Yeah, maybe they'll do it.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
I'm able to do a story and how it's unfair
that guys come into this country and kill thirteen year olds.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, maybe, you know, maybe, well maybe I doubt it.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
The Dodgers off to a slow start, down to nothing
already in the first sucks. It was a good run,
so early to give up. We'll get him next year, John.
Giants are doing well, Yeah, Giants are getting and so
the Padres. This is a very strong division. Yeah, yeah,
it could be a wild race.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
And then Los Angeles has got to get it together.
And we were very close to the World Cup, which
will be a prelude to the Olympics, and we'll show
the Olympic Committee how unprepared and ill prepared we are
during that World Cup.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Imagine. Look, we can't take care of the people live here.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
So we're supposed to volunteer to plant tree, right, to
help clean up for the World Cup. She doesn't have
anyone to plant trees or clean.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Up the garbage. And they want us to pay for them.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, yeah, right, we got to buy our own tree.
He gave him a lot of tax money to buy trees.
I did too, not as much as you, but I did.
Speaker 10 (28:59):
But you know what's hey, listen, while you're planning trees,
can you pave some of these streets.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's what's coming next. You know.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I got three huge potholes around the quarter for me.
You know why because of all the dump trucks through
from the Palisades every day, these huge trucks.
Speaker 10 (29:16):
But they're not supposed to do that, but no, I
know they're not. They're supposed to make a bee line
to P eight well ten and haul it out.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yet well, they told that to the Army Corps of Engineers,
and the Army said, we don't report to you.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
You know, I love the the Army Corps of Engineers.
Those guys are so solid.
Speaker 10 (29:36):
You know when when people, when politicians try to mow
them or get them, they just on on monotone.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Man, they just smoke you. No, we're not driving all
the way down to Redondo Beach. It's like, we're gonna
do this quickly.
Speaker 10 (29:47):
Yeah, we're the federal government here. You guys are county guys. Yeah,
city guys. Conway's next dog. Michael Krazer has the news.
Why on the st look like you're ready to punch
somebody out there? Live in the can't find twenty four
our newsroom?
Speaker 1 (30:06):
What see? Who's in there with me? Oh it's Deborah.
Oh and no wonder you were going so crazy? Yeah?
I understand. All right, Well let's do the news.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
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. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
App every day from one till four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Anytime you miss something, you go to John Cobelt's show
on demand after four o'clock, same as the radio show.
And again I'm highlighting the two o'clock interview we did.
Michael mcche, professor at USC Marshall School of Business, said
the high gas prices in California it's self inflicted by
the government. It is the government that's created the high
(00:31):
gas prices because of all their taxes and regulations, and
the oil companies have not engaged widespread price gouging or profiteering.
We're at four dollars and ninety five cents today in
California for gas, and in Mississippi it's two seventy five
and many other states are under three dollars as well,
(00:54):
and it's just outrageous and they lie to you until
you it's the oil companies a complete lie. I want
to see Gavin Newsom run on the big lie. We'll
be on top of this. We're not going to let
that go because there's another sixty five cent increase coming Anyway,
(01:14):
two o'clock on the podcast, you should listen to that
Supreme Court has said Donald Trump can use the Alien
Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight to deport Venezuelan criminal gangsters.
These these violent criminals that were released from Venezuelan prisons
(01:35):
Trendy Iragua and they can be sent to El Salvador.
This is a big win for Trump. And we are
now going to talk to Art Arthur from the Center
for Immigration Studies.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Art, welcome again. How are you, John.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I'm doing great and sorry to hear betch gas prices
out here in North Carolina. We're about two dollars and
eighty cents, and life is.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Good to eighty.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I have a son that lives in North Carolina right now,
so I know how good life is there two dollars.
In fact, I'm going to North Carolina this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
To seep I.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
We'll play a little golf, maybe hang out on the.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Course for a while.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I want to find some way to smuggle gas back
to California.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I don't know if that's feasible.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
All right, this is a big deal because people have
been squealing for weeks and weeks after Trump used the
Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight to deport Trendy
Iragua Venezuelan gang members to a prison in al Salvador.
I think most people who follow the news are familiar
with this story. What did the Supreme Court say?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
So? The Supreme Court said that a challenge to the
deportation of Trendy Iragua members that the Trump administration attempted
to implement and to a degree did implement under the
Alien Enemies Act, you should not be heard in the
District Court for the District to Columbia, which is the
(03:03):
seat of government, but instead it should be heard in
habeas cases individual habeas cases in the districts in which
those individuals are being held, and all of those individuals
are being held in South Texas, much more Trump friendly
jurisdictions for the cases, but more importantly, the proper venue
for individuals who are facing removal and being detained while
(03:26):
facing removal from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act.
It was a sharp rebuke to Chief Judge James Boberg
of the US District Court, the all powerful US District
Court for the District to Columbia. But Judge Boseburg doesn't
show much sign of backing down quite yet, even.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
No Supreme Court issued its opinion.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Even though the Supreme Court issued its opinion. If you remember,
if we go back, there were flights that had taken
off while Judge Boseburg on a Saturday was considering a
motion by five plaintiffs to create a class for all
alleged Trende Ragua members who are facing removal under the
(04:08):
Alien Enemies Act. And you know, he ordered the planes
to be turned around, and he probably didn't have that authority,
but that didn't happen, and so there began a extended argument,
certainly in the d C Press, over you know, whether
Trump administration officials had acted in contempt of the judges order,
the judges still apparently considering those contempt actions. And he's
(04:34):
also you know, requesting breathing from some of the plaints
with respect to a injunction of the considering. So notwithstanding, again,
this is not anything I heard in the courts, things
that I've read online, but I'm so fascinated about apparently,
you know, he hasn't quite given up the ghost, but
the Justices has spoken this positively. The case isn't properly
venued in the District of Columbia. It's not. It can't
(04:58):
be considered under the Administrative Seizures Act. It can only
be considered under the Great Writ Habeas corpus.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So, So in the meantime, Trump can keep using this
act to deport these criminal aliens.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Yeah, absolutely so. But before it does that, it does
have to give those individuals, you know, notice that they're
going to be deported out of the Alien Enemies Act
and an opportunity to go before a district court judge
in Texas, not on DC, so that it can't have
any challenges to the detention, you know, potentially to their
(05:31):
status as Trended Aragua members, and possibly even to the
constitutionality of the president's action. I think the President's on
pretty good constitutional grounds. And honestly, John, it's funny when
we talk about Trendy Aragua because you know, if I
ask you, or ask most people on the street, the
first thing you would say is apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
But you know, if you pull back the lens a
little bit, trend Aragua is a majorminal organization. You know,
I would compare it to the mafia. But honestly, it engages
in a lot more political crime than the mafia does.
They've been accused of dressing up as Chilean police officers,
kidnapping a Venezuelan oppositionist in Santiago, and murdering that individual.
(06:16):
And if we go back to the Biden administration, not
so many months ago, the Department of State put a
twelve million dollar bounty on the heads of the three
major leaders of Trende Aragua, not because of anything that
happened in the United States, not because of a roar
or any other town that these people have come to,
but because of the violence and the crime that they're
(06:36):
wreaking in Colombia, neighbored to Venezuela, in a constant rival
of the Maduro government. So you know, this is a
really sophisticated operation. If you read the President's presidential proclamation
where he declares Trende Aragua to be a terrorist organization
subject to removal under the Alien Enemies Act, you really
(07:00):
start to understand why exactly the President says that this
organization poses a danger not just to communities in the
United States and to our streets, but to the very
United States itself. Here's one thing that he says quote
PDA Trende Aragua is closely aligned with and indeed has
infiltrated the Maduro regime, including its military and law enforcement apparatus,
(07:24):
and supports the Maduro regime's goal of destabilizing democratic nations
from the Americas, including the United States. This isn't a
bunch of guys running around with ar fifteens in apartment building.
This is a serious criminal organization. And that's not an overstatem,
and it's just one that's underreported in the United States.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
That was unleashed by the government of a hostile nation.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Yeah, not only a hostile nation, but a nation that
hates us, a nation whose leader we claim is a
dictator who sees power. You know, after a rig the
election still went against him. So yeah, this isn't you know,
this is an intractable enemy of the United States. But nonetheless,
the Biden administration still allowed major oil companies, back to
(08:11):
our earlier conversation, to continue to buy oil and to
continue to prop up that regime. Maduro can't have it
both ways. He's either going to join the Community of
Nations and put a leash on the hounds that are
trend Aragua or he's going to have to go his
own way, and that'll mean more poverty and more heartbreak
for the people of Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Is there any legal problem that Trump sent these criminals
to El Salvador to that Megamax prison. Does that violate
any rights that they have.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
In any way?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
It's funny because you know, most people, when you talk
about deportation, we send you back home. But the Immigration
and Nationality Act actually permits the government to send an
individual to any country that will take them. Now, most
countries won't take criminals, but the naive Bukele of El
Salvador has a different take on the whole thing. He runs,
(09:05):
you know, very large, spacious, well lighted prisons and he's
willing to accept American funding to you know, house individuals there.
But again, you know, remember that Trump, the Trump administration
invoked the State Secrets Act when Judge Bosberg wanted, you know,
information about these flights and where they went. I'm not
(09:27):
saying that this is true, and it's pure speculation, but
I wouldn't be surprised. We don't have intelligence from our
foreign partners in the Americas, including from El Salvador, and
that many of those countries don't want those trend Aragua
leaders to be released back to Venezuela where they're going
to continue to prey upon populations in Bolivia and Chile
(09:48):
and Colombia. They want them locked up in Seacot, which
is the mega prison in El Salvador.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
All right, thank you very much for coming on. Arthur
from the Center for Immigration staff. He's Trump winning a
big round in court. He can keep sending legal alien
criminal gang members from Venezuela to a president in El
Salvador and deport them to that prison that is still
on for now. All right, Art, thanks for coming on again.
(10:17):
Thanks so much, John, we come back. We just had
Bill of Sale on the other day. He was getting
a new job as the US Attorney for Los Angeles
and he has unleashed a new investigation on the homeless
industry here in Los Angeles County. Yeah, it's going to
(10:39):
be a special investigation to look for all the corruption
that I'm telling you exists and has existed for a
long time. Explain it. Coming up, BILLI Sale. We'll be
on our show later this week, but I'll tell you
what he's doing.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
You're listening to John Cobelt on Demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Follow us at John Cobolt Radio and social media. John
Cobelt Radio. Now, God, we've got so much. We've got
so much it's spilling over into tomorrow the next day.
That's all I can say. You keep listening every hour
every day.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
After three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I want to play more clips from Karen Bass's appearance
on a podcast called The Daily Beans.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
What's it? What you said after three o'clock? It's already
after three thirty?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Wake up in there.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
After three thirty, Oh, says the yawning Queen, the Queen
of the yawns.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Not too many today? Huh, not too many?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Doctor Allison gil Is excuse me, doctor Allison gil She
her hosts a podcast called The Daily Beans, and she
had she was kissing Karen Bass's ass and giving her
a tongue.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Bath, and John thinks she's hot. Yeah. Yeah, it's one
of those.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
There's a certain catategory of woman hot but really annoying,
and I imagine that she falls into that category because
she was kissing up to Karen Bass and acting like did.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
They talk about the fire? I guess they did talk
about the fire?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Right yet?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Okay? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I might have to play more tomorrow, We'll play We'll
come back. Bill Salley was on our show just a
few days ago. He's been the newly appointed US attorney
for Los Angeles. He has to get uh Senate confirmation
for that.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
And you know he he is a bulldog.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I knew day one he was going to go after something,
and he is going after the homeless criminal nonprofit complex here.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
He's got a criminal task force to investigate potential fraud
and corruption involving local homelessness funds. And he said there
will be arrests if federal laws have been broken. Uh,
there was a news release today he said there's millions
of dollars in federal funds that have been alligated, allocated
(13:07):
to address homelessness. And then the court ordered audit from
David o'carter that found big problems. You know, there's two
billion dollars that can't be accounted for.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
They don't know exactly where it went or what it did.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
And as Sale said, taxpayers deserve answers for where and
how their hard earned money has been spent. If state
and local officials cannot provide proper oversight and accountability, we
will do it for them. And it's the homelessness, fraud
and corruption task for US. I have been pounding on
this for years, but we had one We have a
(13:43):
one party city and a one party state and for
the last few years that one party has held the presidency,
and so there were no investigations done. But there is
no way there isn't criminal activity going on.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
La County must have known something was coming because they
have withdrawn their money from LASA. LASA was defunded from
the county end. Now the other end of their funding
was La City and Debri. You had a story today
that some city council people are saying they're going to
pull out to Yo.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
They're trying to figure out, now what's next because of
LASA going away.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Why do you think this happened here?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
The audit from the federal judge found billions of dollars
unaccounted for the head of LASA. Suddenly quits, LASA gets
defunded by the county, may get defunded by the city,
and now Bill A. Sale is doing a federal investigation.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Boy, they they.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Got they they smelled what's going on. They got a
whiff of what's coming here. I can't imagine how many
shredders are operating right now in LASA offices and in
city councilmen offices.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
Do you want to hear what Marquis Harris Dawson said.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yeah, he's the council president. Okay, so I'll read this.
Speaker 6 (15:02):
So the La City Council is voted to figure out
what comes next for the city and the way it
deals with homelessness. Council President Marquise Harris Dawson says, with
La County pulling its funding from LASA, there's no point
in the city remaining as the sole member.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
I don't know how this city will sit on a
board where we're giving money to it and the other
side is not, and they have as many votes as
we do. Like, no reasonable entity is going to agree
to that.
Speaker 6 (15:30):
So city staff is going to be creating report on
the next steps.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
The next steps got everybody, everybody burned the files, shred
the files, hide all those secret accounts that you have,
all points bulletin. Go now to everyone connected into the
homeless industry, including all these politicians running the city in
the county. You better call up your brother in law
and your sister and your high school buddies and let
(15:56):
him know the jig is up that the fraud is
coming to an end.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Bill A. Sale is going to do a massive investigation.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Along with federal, state and local programs to get federal
money and funding. The task force will investigate fraud schemes
involving the theft of private donations intended to provide support
and services for the homeless population. That's according to the
US Attorney's Office. We have seventy five thousand people that
(16:27):
are homeless in LA County, seventy five thousand, and then
at the remaining six counties in a Sales district and
the population is up to over ninety five thousand. Boy,
there's been more activity in the last week regarding this
homeless agency in La and all the funding and the
(16:48):
city and the county and the judge and now the
US Attorney's office. Then I can remember. Ever, you take
the last like ten twenty years combined, and there's been
more activity because everybody knows that they're getting busted. This
criminal operation is finally going to be busted up. All right,
we come back. Earlier in the show, he played a
(17:10):
couple of clips from the Daily Beans podcast. Doctor Alison
Gill she her and she had Karen Bass on and
listen early on I played clips of Bass cutting red
tape to solve homelessness. I want to play some of
Oh look at it's like the same language, cutting red
tape to deal with the fire?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Where is this red tape? How did that fire start
in the Palace States?
Speaker 6 (17:36):
If we know yet?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah? Where's the federal investigation into that? More coming up.
Speaker 4 (17:42):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
We're on every day one until four and after four
o'clock John Covelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,
and special attention to the two o'clock hour, hour two.
On the podcast, you'll hear Michael Missche USC Marshall School
of Business professor. He did a long term study based
on fifty years of data California's high gas prices caused
(18:09):
by the government self inflicted and it's all their taxes,
the regulations, the policies, and he says the economic evidence
is abundant. California oil refiners have not engaged in price gouging, profiteering,
price manipulation on a widespread basis. Everything Gavin Newsom has
said is a lie. Listen to Michael Mische and that's
(18:32):
in our two of the podcast that you get on
the iHeartRadio app posted after four o'clock. Now, speaking of podcasts,
Karen Bass found a suck up tongue bail named doctor
Allison Gill she her I checked and Bass was carrying
(18:55):
on about in previous clips that we played cutting through
the rede to solve almost this. Now it's about cutting
the red tape for the fire recovery.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
Play cut four Los Angeles's recovery time from disasters compared
to other, you know, other municipalities.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I believe when I was talking to some of your.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
Staff, this is that like restoration to water and power
after the campfire that took like eighteen months, but in
LA it took far shorter period of time. Talk about that,
and again, I think this has a lot to do
with the you know, for the reasons you were able
to cut homelessness and bring crime down a comprehensive approach
and cutting red tape exactly right.
Speaker 5 (19:36):
And so one of the first things that we did
was we had an emergency declaration, which then gave me
the authority to expedite other things such as cutting the
red tape so that people can begin the rebuilding process.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It very very quickly. Stop so you stop four building permits? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:58):
How come she didn't declare it this executive order emergency
when she got all the extreme fire warnings five days
before the fire? Did doctor Allison Gill? She her asked
her about that? Uh huh, Jesus makes me crazy?
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Right, play some more so you are correct.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Water and power was restored within a couple of months
in the Palisades. And I think what a lot of
people might not realize was that stop.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Yeah, the water is restored, but there's ten thousand homes missing.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
But you can get war.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You can get water out of the hydrants now, you know,
go turn on a hydrate, water comes out.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
Did they fill the reservoir?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Did this dippy, doctor Allison gil Did she ask about
the the reservoir not being filled?
Speaker 9 (20:49):
No, that didn't come up, not a single second. I
listened to all twenty plus minutes of this interview. You did, Yes,
bless you.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
You welcome. I play some more.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
A lot of people might not realize is that there
were a lot of homes that weren't destroyed or the
damage was minimal like smoke damage, and they were able
to clear it out, and so there are people that
are living in the Palisades right now because of the
efforts of the Army Corps of Engineers in terms of
removing the debris. We're going to announce soon that almost
(21:25):
a thousand properties are ready for rebuilding right now. In
the other fires, Paradise, Woolseley, Lahana, that it took them
months and months and months, in some instances over a
year eighteen months before rebuilding can begin.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Army carve Engineers would be the federal government. They're the
ones doing the cleanup, not Karen Bassett's administration. All right,
let's play cut number five. Oh, it's the one stop
shop for fire victims.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
I set up a one stop shop so that homeowners
can come in in all twelve city departments, where in
normal circumstances you have to drive all over the city
to the different buildings to get your permits and to
get your plans approved.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Well, stop a second, why don't you have a one
stop shop all year round for people in the city.
Why do you have to drive all over the city
in normal times. I don't understand all these emergency declarations.
Isn't this way we should live? Shouldn't there be one
stop shops all over the city in different sections. You know,
(22:37):
I have a couple of you know, one of the
we east Valley, one in the West Valley, one on
the west side, one on the east side, one in
the south, one downtown.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
It should be one stop shops everywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Why do you only do it when there's a fire,
When there's a natural disaster, suddenly the red tape is cut.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Why does the red tape exist at all?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
If you can cut it and it makes it much
more efficient in a disaster, why shouldn't it be cut forever?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Nobody ever even asks that? Why is all this regulation?
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Now there's gonna be eight nine thousand homes built in
the Palisades supposedly quickly, relatively quickly.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Well, why can't everybody enjoy that all the time? Some more?
Speaker 5 (23:23):
Well, now you know you can go to one place.
We are trying to wave as many fees as possible.
Some we can't wave because they're in law. But we're
trying to reduce and wave fees so that people can
get the law and running and building. And you know,
as mayor, I only represent the Palisades. I don't represent
Altadena or Malibu, and so that is my sole focus.
(23:45):
But I work in strong collaboration with Catherine Barger, who
is the chair of the County Board of Supervisors. Lindsey
Horvak represents Malibu, Catherine represents Altadena.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Shop stop. All right, we got to take a break.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
We come back, she's gonna be talking about cleanup, and
they want to make sure they have an especially successful
cleanup because the World Cup is coming. This is like
Behen Gavin Newsom cleaned up San Francisco for the Chinese premiere.
How come they do the big cleanup when there's an
(24:19):
outside event and international visitors are arriving. But for us,
for every day, we have to drive twelve different places
to get twelve different permits to build a house, and
then we've got to step over all the homeless people
and play the play Poop Hop Scotch, jump over the needles.
But with the World Cup coming, oh, everything's gonna be
cleaned up. I hate that they hold us in such contempt,
(24:43):
and we let them hold us.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
In contempt and treat us this way. That's what's infuriating.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A six.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
We've been playing clips of Karen Bass on this podcast
called The Daily Beans with the Doctor Alison Gill, who's
when she's not listening to Karen Bass, she's just slurping
all over her. This clip is about the city and
county collaborating and you're going to hear Mayor Bass talk
(25:15):
about cleaning up, especially for the World Cup coming next year.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Cut seven.
Speaker 8 (25:21):
You're not the mayor of Malibi, you're not the mayor
of Altadina, but there are so many Angelinos who work
in those areas, like you said, that were impacted angel
and that is why I think the collaboration, aside from
cutting through the red tape and all of the other
benefits of collaborating with other leaders, other local leaders, is
so important because everybody in every city is impacted by
(25:44):
the other city.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
M H.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Exactly right.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
We are all interdependent and this is the time for
Angelinos to come together. And so you saw that right
after the fires. You saw thousands of people turn out
and volunteer and come up with supplies and other things
that people might need who lost everything. So we want
to keep that spirit going because you're Afril twenty six,
we're going to have a city wide activation where we're
(26:10):
calling on people to help get our city ready because
in a little over a.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Year we're going to have the.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
World Cup here, So we want people out cleaning and
planting trees and removing green can do that, and so
I'm hoping that you're millions or taxes will think about
attending on twenties.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
She wants us to clean up and plant trees. I'm busy,
I'm working all day. You have lots of my tax money,
lots of my tax money, and you don't have people
to clean and plant trees. Oh that's a lot of nerve. Yeah,
I gotta go and plant trees for her. What happened
to your plate tree planting department?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Good? I had a feeling you were going to like
this podcast. Save the other clips.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
You got it all right, probably a whole showing it
conways here.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Yeah, Eric, same for me.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
We'll play him, give Tim a free show. What the hell,
we'll burn him out before John gets them tomorrow. Play
them all over for three hours. We've got Alan Hamilton
coming on. He's the chief detective for the LAPD. I
talk about this poor kid that was killed, Oscar Fernandez.
Thirteen year old kid goes to his soccer coaches out
(27:22):
in the Annelov Valley and gets wiped out.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I mean, it's on who hired the coach. I don't know,
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (27:31):
And there's there's a lot of horrible angles to this story.
Lots lots of people let this kid down.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, and the coach is here illegally too. Oh is
that right? That's what I heard?
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Yeah, all right, well wait, maybe sixty minutes. We'll do
a piece on that, because they did a piece on
sending guys to Guatemala and El Salvador and how that's
wrong unfair.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Right, Yeah, maybe they'll do it.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
I'm able to do a story and how it's unfair
that guys come into this country and kill thirteen year olds.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, maybe, you know, maybe, well maybe I doubt it.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
The Dodgers off to a slow start, down to nothing
already in the first sucks. It was a good run,
so early to give up. We'll get him next year, John.
Giants are doing well, Yeah, Giants are getting and so
the Padres. This is a very strong division. Yeah, yeah,
it could be a wild race.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:21):
And then Los Angeles has got to get it together.
And we were very close to the World Cup, which
will be a prelude to the Olympics, and we'll show
the Olympic Committee how unprepared and ill prepared we are
during that World Cup.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Imagine. Look, we can't take care of the people live here.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
So we're supposed to volunteer to plant tree, right, to
help clean up for the World Cup. She doesn't have
anyone to plant trees or clean.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Up the garbage. And they want us to pay for them.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Yeah, yeah, right, we got to buy our own tree.
He gave him a lot of tax money to buy trees.
I did too, not as much as you, but I did.
Speaker 10 (28:59):
But you know what's hey, listen, while you're planning trees,
can you pave some of these streets.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
That's what's coming next. You know.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
I got three huge potholes around the quarter for me.
You know why because of all the dump trucks through
from the Palisades every day, these huge trucks.
Speaker 10 (29:16):
But they're not supposed to do that, but no, I
know they're not. They're supposed to make a bee line
to P eight well ten and haul it out.
Speaker 2 (29:22):
Yet well, they told that to the Army Corps of Engineers,
and the Army said, we don't report to you.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
You know, I love the the Army Corps of Engineers.
Those guys are so solid.
Speaker 10 (29:36):
You know when when people, when politicians try to mow
them or get them, they just on on monotone.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Man, they just smoke you. No, we're not driving all
the way down to Redondo Beach. It's like, we're gonna
do this quickly.
