Speaker 1 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock,
and then after four o'clock we become a podcast, John
Cobelt's Show on demand that's also on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
So there is no excuse.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You listen to it live between one and four, or
you listen to the podcast after four o'clock and you
can hear every every single minute at one point or another,
and many do that. We've had just millions of downloads
already this year. Coming up in the two o'clock hour,
kfi's Michael Monks, how is it that if the Board
(00:38):
of Supervisors have a huge have to pay a huge
price to clean up the fire debris, and now we
owe four billion dollars to the victims of county employee pedophiles,
how is it they're able to propose a budget with
no layoffs. Not one county government worker is going to
(01:01):
suffer from all the disasters that are that are going on.
We'll talk about that with Michael Monks coming up. Trump
had one of his entertaining press conference yesterday and in
a moment we're going to talk to John Decker. He's
Cafe's White House correspondent and he has been covering the
(01:24):
White House and presidents for many years. And Trump had
the El Salvadoran president, Naive bucalay in, and he has
made a deal with book leg two. Well, we're giving
it the guy six million dollars. And he took in
hundreds of criminal gang member legal aliens. Now there's one
(01:47):
guy that's been in dispute out of the hundreds, So
of course the whole media is focusing on the one guy.
Now he's a gang member, and he was he should
be deported, but proper process wasn't followed. And Trump has
been harangued by reporters ever since over the one guy,
(02:10):
and he finally had had it and snapped at to
Caitlin Collins from CNN, we got some entertaining audio to
play there. But you know, the guy's a bad guy.
I really failed to understand why if he's here illegally,
he belongs to an MS thirteen gang, He's done all
these terrible violent things in his life, why anybody gives
(02:34):
even ten seconds of worry over exactly how he was
removed or why he was removed. But that's the world
we live in. Is John ready yet?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Now? Yet?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
The deal is is Booklet came to Washington yesterday and
they held a press conference, and you know, the controversy
came because the Supreme Court said that the Trump administrations
should facilitate the return of.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
This illegal alien. The guy was living in Maryland.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And this El Salvador in prison, you know, is just
the worst thing you'd ever seen. This is where they're
handed a pair of tighty Whitey's para underwear and their
heads are shaved, and many of them, if not most
of them, have a head to toe tattoos, and they're
just laid out side by side and they're given hard labor.
(03:33):
And it's the worst prison you'd ever want to be in.
And they're all violent psychotics. So when we get to
John Decorn, we'll talk more of that about that situation.
And Trump also proposed that homegrown criminals are going to
be next, and that snapped everybody's head back. Now, he's
(03:57):
got a lot going on in that. People have been
angry all around the world over the tariffs situation, and
the Wall Street Journal had a really interesting story yesterday
about just how much manufacturing the United States has lost.
I bet you there are very few people, unless you
(04:18):
study this for a living, can understand the dramatic changes
in employment here in the United States. I grew up
at the tail end of this because my dad worked
in a factory, and I think I've mentioned every seven
years he lost his job three in a row, like
(04:39):
almost exactly at the seven year point, because the factories
were closing and the work was moving first to the
South and then to Mexico, and then overseas to Vietnam,
and eventually it went to China. So I lived this
life and this is the kind of neighborhood I was in.
And Trump thinks we've given away the store in and
(05:00):
that all kinds of important things are now manufactured in
China or in Vietnam, things that related to national security,
to our defense system, to our health because so many
drugs are made overseas. You remember after COVID the supply
chain problems, and you know, medicines were blocked in China
(05:22):
somewhere stuck in transit. And it was a realization for
a lot of people that Wow, we don't don't make anything.
We don't make anything important. And one of the good
things Joe Biden did is among his spending bills. I
don't know how much of this actually got implemented, but
one of the good things he did was to provide
(05:45):
a lot of seed money so companies could start manufacturing
computer chips here in the country. I'll give you this example.
In the nineteen fifties, thirty five percent of private sector
jobs in the United States were in manufacturing. Thirty five percent.
Now it's less than ten percent. There's less than thirteen
(06:05):
million manufacturing jobs in the US. And if you look
at a graph, yeah, it was actually in the nineteen forties,
right after World War Two, about forty five percent of
the jobs we're in manufacturing, and now it's less than
ten percent. And we had built up a huge manufacturing
(06:26):
machine here in this country. And then gradually we let
other countries take all our business. Companies said, oh, China
allows slave labor, which they do. China has no health
(06:47):
requirements for their workers, there's no protections on their health
and safety. There's no environmental laws in China. China pollutes
the planet many, many more times than we do. It's
so ironic because there's nothing but scolds that live here
in America. Over whatever pollution we do create. China overwhelms
(07:09):
us in pollution production, and nobody says boo about it,
because I suspect these people don't really care about the pollution,
but they know there's money to be made in scolding
and shaming Americans. The manufacturing picture began to change in
the nineteen eighties because we couldn't compete where labor costs
(07:31):
were lower. It is hard to compete when other countries
allowed slave labor. And then in the nineteen nineties NAFTA,
the North American Free Trade Agreement that got rid of
tariffs on Mexican goods, so suddenly factories started going to Mexico.
The steel producers lost out to South Korea. We're going
(07:54):
to get more into this later in the show because
it's fascinating. Now we got John Dekker ready to go, John,
how are you hey? I'm doing great, John, for having
me on today. I always appreciate it. I'm right here, yeah, yeah,
it's good to have you on. So yesterday Trump put
on a show with the l Salvadoran president over the
criminal legal alien prisoners we sent to Al Salvador, and
(08:17):
then Trump threatened to send American homegrown prisoners. Talk about
what went on and at press conference.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, it was in the Oval Office when the President
was meeting with the L Salvador President, President Bukelli. It's
the first president of leader from Latin America that the
President has welcomed to the White House in his second term,
and he was given a red Carcter treatment military honor
(08:44):
guard set up along the driveway as his motor Keke
came up into the White House and the President was
just really wanted to thank him in person for all
of the cooperation that El Salvador has provided to the
US in terms of the press President migrant deportations, as
you point out, you know, just within the past few weeks,
(09:05):
there were two hundred and sixty eight individuals that the
White House says are alleged gang members that were deported
to L Salvador, including an individual from Maryland that has
really garnered a lot of attention because this individual, according
to the Department of Justice, was mistakenly sent to L Salvador,
(09:26):
and now there's a big legal battle as to whether
or not he can be brought back to the US.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Now mistakenly because they didn't follow the proper process, but
he is here illegally and he is a criminal member
of Mayor Salvatrusha, that gang in l Salvador.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Correct, Well, that's not clear. He's never been charged with
any crime. He's never been in a court of law
determined that he is a member of MS thirteen. His
lawyers maintained that he isn't. The administration maintain that he is.
But he's never had that due process that the Supreme
(10:03):
Court says is necessary. If you want to establish that,
then you can establish that during a deportation hearing. But
that was never afforded to this individual.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And now Trump is saying it's like, hey, I can't
force the president of another nation to release this man. Well,
he's right, he's.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Right about that. I mean, at this point, you know,
the Supreme Court can issue orders. But the fact of
the matter is this individual, as we speak today, he
is incarcerated. He is in a maximum security prison in
El Salvador, and a leader of another country in this
case El Salvador does not have to listen to a
(10:48):
directive coming from the US Supreme Court. He represents the
sovereign nation. So I think that, you know, based upon
what I heard yesterday in the Oval office, coming from
the Attorney General PAMBONDI what I heard from El salvador
A's president. It is really unlikely that this individual will
be returned to the US anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I guess the question, and there's no way to get
an answer on this. Does the salvador and president to
have information that would suggest he should be locked up
in prison? Or is he doing Trump a favor here?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, it could be both. You know, certainly he's doing
the president of favor in the sense that the President
clearly doesn't want this individual return to the United States,
and President Bukelli is essentially saying, I'm not going to
return into the US. He's going to remain incarcerated in
this prison in El Salvador. This, you know, I don't
(11:48):
see how that part of the equation changes, even with
all the legal process that's taking place inside the United States.
As it relates to your first question, we'll see whether
President Fukelling maybe, you know, he does provide information which
indicates that this individual was indeed a gang member associated
(12:08):
with MS thirteen. Wat to wait and see.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Now. Trump said that homegrowns are next. He's going to
send homegrown American criminals to prison. What's the story there.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Well, he mused on that idea. He suggested that idea
in that press availability that took place yesterday in the
Oval office. But you know, he said, we'll look into it.
We'll look in terms of seeing whether that type of
thing is feasible. He said, the worst of the worst
can be sent to places like this maximum security prison
(12:44):
in El Salvador. Well, we've got a great maximum security
prison right in the United States of America. It's called Supermax.
I believe it's in Florence, Colorado. That's a good place
to send the worst of the worst. We've done that
for decades, and I think that we should continue sending
the worst to the worst to that supermax prison for
the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Is that legal to send American prisoners to foreign countries
and put them in their supermax prisons.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'd never thought of that.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, I don't believe it's legal. You know. You know
you're speaking to a lawyer, you know, and you want
me to weigh in with my legal opinion. There's no
federal law that allows the president to unilaterally remove a
US citizen to another country. It could be certainly in
violation of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, And in
addition to that, the Supreme Court in nineteen thirty six
(13:36):
they had a case and they held in that case
that the president has no power to extradite or banish
a US citizen to another country except when authorized by
a treaty or an Act of Congress. And that's not
what is present in these circumstances and certainly wouldn't be
present related to a US citizen, a person who has
(13:58):
all the rights of the US citizen, even though they're incarcerated,
to be banished, it's not even deported. It's Danish to
another country to serve out their prison sentence.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
All right, John Decker, thanks for coming on with us.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Thanks for having me on. Always appreciate it. Have a
great day, all right, all right?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
John Decker, cafi's White House correspondent. When we come back
a little more on that Trump press conference in the
Overall Office with the El Salvadoran president, because he got
into it with a CNN reporter and he started taunting her,
and the CNN actually broke in with a well, I
(14:37):
wouldn't call it a fact check. They wanted to clarify
something right in the middle of him. His diet tribe.
We'll talk about it next.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
We just had the White House correspondent to John decoron
CAFEI White House Correspondent, and he was a sorting gap
that odd press event that Trump had yesterday with the
El Salvadoran president Naive Bukeley. We had sent Bookeley two
hundred and sixty eight criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
These are violent, bad.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Guys, trendyar Ragua from Venezuela, Marisalvatrucia, MS thirteen from L Salvador.
Most of them were venezuel and some were El Salvador.
And one of those guys is named Brego Garcia. And
just to give you some more details to why he's
become so important, the Trump administration claimed that Brego Garcia
(15:37):
was a member of MS thirteen and they threw him
into the lot. They didn't actually make a case with
a real argument with Fax and all. They were just
trying to get him deported at one point, and without
authorization from a court or an immigration judge, they threw
(15:59):
him in with the other two hundred and sixty seven
gang members. Now he should be deported, and he is
a guy you can deport, all right. He's not a
legal citizen. He came here claiming asylum. He's most likely
a bad guy, a violent guy, but everybody honors procedure
and process, and uh, Trump put him in the mix,
(16:23):
or somebody in the Trump administration did. And Bukley is
extremely loyal to Trump. Trump is paying him millions of dollars, well,
paying the country millions of dollars. And apparently they're really
close political buddies right now. So Bookla's going to do
anything Trump wants. And Trump is saying, hey, I can't
(16:44):
force this man to release a prisoner, first of all
the prisoners El Salvador to begin with. Boukley is running
the country and Trump's going, I got no control, I've
got no power. And that's what the ruckus is about. Uh.
The Washington media has no sense of humor about this.
(17:04):
And I'm going to play you, uh a little back
and forth. Caitlin Collins is this annoying CNN reporter. She's like,
reminds you of like the annoying girl who was a
class president in high school. And Trump doesn't like her,
and she keeps poking them about this prisoner play cut
number one.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
And it's that you said that if the Supreme Court
said someone needed to be returned, that you would abide
by that.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You said that on Air.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Force one just a few days ago.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
And they said that it mustator. Why didn't you just say,
isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?
Why can't you just say that?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Why do you go over and over and that's why nobody.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Watches you anymore?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
You know you have no credibility.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
She's attractive, though, John, Oh, she's a hottie, absolutely, But
you know what was that category?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I said the other day?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Though really hot looking, but a headache. You know who
was the other woman we were talking about that way,
remember Eric?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, no, that that that that's all category. It's wow,
she looks she looks really nice, but boy, that'd be
a long date if she finds out you've got some
political beliefs that she disagrees with.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Women should be a scene, not her, John.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's just not a date, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Oh, okay, okay, I mean, you can go off all
you want, but I don't want to sit there and
pay for dinner at the same time. That's it's no
funody write these rules down life, life will be smoother.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Here's the Salvador and President asking Trump about his border success.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Actually, what you're doing with the border is remarkable, as Trump,
what ninety five percent to murder them.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
As of this morning, nine point one percent to be exact.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
What are those numbers not in the media, Well, they
get out with the fake news, you know, Liken CNN
over here doesn't want to put them out because they
don't like they don't like putting out good numbers.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
They don't like putting out because I think they hate
our country. Actually, yeah, but it's a shame. You're right,
isn't that a great question? Why doesn't the media, why
don't they put out numbers? Yeah, ninety It's like it's crazy, right,
we're doing the same.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
All right, So he says CNN hates the country. We
come back. I'll play you a clip of Dana Bash,
the CNN anchor cutting in to announce that that's not true,
that CNN doesn't hate the country, And we are going
to talk about the DWP is getting sued over not
filling up the reservoir in Pacific Palisades and they claim
(19:48):
that they are immune from.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
This kind of lawsuit. That's all ahead.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
We're not every day from one until fourth and then
after four o'clock it's the John coblt Show on demand.
That's the podcast version. Also on the iHeart app, we
have the Moistline eight seven seven, Mois Steady six eight
seven seven, Moys Steady six for Friday, or use the
talkback feature on that astounding iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
All right, we would we had to stop.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
We were playing a clip of Trump with the El
Salvadoran president Naib Bukeley. Boukeley has taken in hundreds of
illegal aliens, Venezuelan gang members El Salvadoran gang members and
put them into their version of a supermax prison, which
is just brutal. And I'll tell you this clip again
(20:46):
because this cracks me up. Bookeley is just playing a
perfect straight man to Trump and starts asking about the
border success, and they're both trying to embarrass the media.
There was a lot of reporters in there, because you know,
the media doesn't report much about this massive success where
border crossings are down about ninety eight percent, and after
(21:08):
you know, ten million illegals come over the border under Biden.
Now it's down to virtually zero and not a peep.
And the media spent the last over a week obsessing
about this one guy. They that Trump says as an
El Salvadoran gang member, and he was thrown into the
deportation pile and apparently they didn't go through the proper
(21:33):
due process, and the Supreme Court said that the Trump
administration should facilitate his return to the US. Now he's
not a US citizen, he can easily be deported. It
just there was no process used in his case. And
Trump is saying, hey, I can't force my good friend here,
(21:53):
Naive Bukelli to return him if he doesn't want to.
The prisoner, and his prisoner's name is He'll break Garcia said,
uh Boukeli said, he's a Salvadoran. I'm the Salvadoran president.
So you know what's the problem here. So Trump rails
on CNN in this clip, and then we're going to
play you the official CNN response from data Batch.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Actually, what you're doing with the border is remarkable, as Trump,
what ninety five percent to murder as this morning, ninety
nine ninety nine point.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
One percent to be exact.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Why are those numbers not on the media, Well, they
get out with the fake news, you know, like CNN,
CNN over here.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Doesn't want to put them out because they don't like
they don't like putting out good numbers. They only like
putting out because I think they hate our country. Actually, yeah,
this is but it's a shame.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Isn't that a great question?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Why doesn't an immediate why do they put out numbers?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, ninety nine.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
I mean it's like, it's crazy, right, we're doing the.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Same turn round.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It is a crazy turnaround. And I do track what
the media covers, and.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I can't tell you how many dozens of stories has
been done on this one guy, Albrego Garcia, who's an
MS thirteen gang member. But you know, we didn't sell
out the paperwork properly, and they're harping on it and
harping on it. It's not a resident of Maryland.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
He came here illegally.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And anyway, after Trump says CNN hates this country, CNN
anchored Dana Bash suddenly cut in.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
We've been listening to a lengthy live press conference inside
the Oval Office with the leader of El Salvador Bucele,
where we have heard a lot of bits of information,
a lot of news nuggets that we want to definitely
(23:50):
focus on, a lot of some misinformation as well, but
we want to digest all of this right now with
our terrific panel here and our reporters. Jeff Zeleny, I
want to start with you, you are at the White House.
Before I get to you, I just want to say,
for the record, since we heard President Trump say in
(24:11):
the Oval Office that CNN hates our country, CNN does
not hate our country. That should go without saying. I've
been here for thirty two years and I see a
rhetorical device in him trying to say such a thing.
That said, I want to focus on the news that
(24:32):
we heard, and that news came out in several ways
on several fronts, all relating to what is happening with
regard to this prison in Nel Salvador. Jeff, let me
start with you. You tell us what you thought the
top headlines were.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, but this is frustrating. They know what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Proportionally, they give it a more enormous amount of time
to one.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Guy albregog.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And the fact that the Trump administration didn't follow the procedure.
Although he is here, he is here illegally and he's
easily deportable. There's no question about it. There is very
little time given to the greatest border turnaround in the
history of the United States. We never had ten million
(25:25):
people come over the border in four years before, and
we all saw how it worked and what that did,
and then he turned off the spigot. It seemed in
a matter of days after we were told what a complicated,
complex problem it was with all the root causes, and
you know, it would take take years to figure this
(25:47):
out and lots of money, and we'd need new laws,
and Congress would have to pass comprehensive reform and blah blah,
blah blah.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
And it was always a load of crap.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
It was a load of crap from the Republicans because
they used to sell it was a load of crap
from the Democrats obviously they were pushing forward to get
new voters eventually, and the progressive media, who remember these
people don't believe we should have borders because they think
America's illegitimate nation built on slavery and racism and xenophobia
(26:18):
and all that stuff. We're not entitled to be here
because we stole the land.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
We stole the.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Land, and then we built the country on the backs
of slaves. We have no business being the They really
really do believe it, and many of them are in
the media.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
And so that's why when Trump.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Shows that they were all full of crap and closes
the border in about a day, they have to switch
to something else that proves we're bad guys, and that's
Albrago Garcia, mister gang member, that they didn't process properly
when they were clearing the country out of two hundred
and sixty eight violent felons, people who committed murders. For
(26:58):
God's sakes, you know, they'd rather they'd rather us wait
until Brago Garcia kill somebody kills an American before we're
allowed to deport them. All right, we got uh, we've
got more coming up.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Six John Cobelt Show. We got a lot coming up.
We are going to get into the la WP claiming
that it can't be sued over not selling up the reservoir,
which was needed for the Palisades fire. We're also gonna
have Michael Monks on to explain how with the massive
financial problems LA County has, they're not laying off a
(27:36):
single person for the upcoming budget year, So we'll get
into that early on.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You know, I'm always looking for a sign from God.
Did you know that?
Speaker 9 (27:47):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I am what are you looking with?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Eastern I'm looking for a sign that this all matters,
that there's a point.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
To this in existence.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
Have you received to sign yet?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Maybe that's that's I'm bringing this up because it's Easter week, right,
and it's Passover week, so you know, people are going
to their ceremonies and having their celebrations and their masses
and and and they're they're you know, they were their
Passover dinners. And I you know, I don't do any
of that because I don't think there's anything out there.
(28:23):
It's a onely place to be. Must everybody seems to
believe in something, and I'm I'm I'm by myself.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I'm kind of here. I that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's why we get along so well, exactly. We both
think this is all kind of silly and pointless. You know,
I'm looking for a sign. There's a reward for all
this nonsense. But this could be a sign from God.
Did you see what's happened to Harvey Weinstein?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yes, this is good.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Weinstein had his sex convictions in New York City overturned
because a judge thought that the prosecutor, well, the appeals
court judges thought that the trial judge made a grievous
error by allowing three extra women to tell their stories
(29:14):
in court about what Weinstein did to that. Yeah, and
it was the prosecutor had three more women and the
trial judge said yeah. Now the appeals court said no,
and eventually the conviction was overturned and thrown out. Thrown out,
so they have to do the trial all over again.
This is the original trial. He's still been in prison
(29:38):
because he was also convicted here in Los Angeles. Anyway,
the second trial is about to start. They wheeled him
into court and he's terribly ill and whatever this illness is,
he's gained twenty five pounds.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
I saw that on TV this morning. He did not
look good.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
He's He also has a severe tongue infection.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
That's even doing's doing behind bars?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Where's that where's that? Where's that tongue bit? I get
that tongue scraper handle's been selling.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, I think in prison you need that. He got
some kind of horrible infection. He's getting nineteen pounds in
the last month alone.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
But on prison food.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's what I don't understand. He's got some terrible illnesses.
He was in the hospital, he's sent to prison. How
do you gain twenty five pounds? He should be emaciated
with all that going on. In fact, the tongue infection
infection makes it difficult to swallow.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Well, if he can't swallow, where's the weight coming from?
This isn't possible.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
He's got he's got diabetes, and he's got a rare
form of bone marrow cancer called chronic myalloid leukemia. His
attorney say that he's not getting his medication. It's missed
and delayed. His chest palpitations are ignored, and he has
(31:22):
serious mobility issues, and the prison management doesn't seem to care.
Saw do he gained twenty five pounds with all that?
That makes no sense, Not to mention it doesn't make
any sense at all. So I wonder what I wonder
if it's related to the infection.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
Oh yeah, maybe he's retaining a lot of water or something.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
What was the exact moment he got the infection? What
was he doing?
Speaker 9 (31:48):
I just find it fascinating, don't you, John? I mean,
here he was, this sought after producer, I mean actors
and actresses, and everybody kissed is you know what?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
And here he That's how you get an infection. Kissed
a lot more than just that.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, you want to get a tongue infection, you go
kiss Harvey Weinstein. I remember when I came to LA
and it was really Hollywood was in its heyday, modern Hollywood,
and the other times just filled.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
With articles about all these characters.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Right, they were like royalty, and they were treated like
royalty in the press because if you didn't do that,
then these movie executives wouldn't buy advertising in your newspaper.
So everybody kissed his ass and all the other Hollywood
corporate leaders back then. And I used to think, man,
(32:42):
this is stupid. You know, these are the people who
are always jockeying for position at restaurants. Right, they have
their own tables and they you know, they have their
own hotel suites that are dedicated to them, and it
was like, you know, you come, I come from New Jersey.
It's like, what is this stupid world? Why is everybody
worshiping these clowns they made They you know, they shoot
(33:04):
movies which are made up of crazy people playing pretend
as adults.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
They make a whole lot of money.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, no, I understand.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It's but there wasn't just you know, hey, we got
a good business here. We're a bunch of rich guys.
They were some kind of special lords and you know,
masters of the universe.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Because everybody watched me in movies and they're hoping that, hey,
I'm going to give you a good table. I'm going
to do you this favor. I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
You're going to put me.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
In your new movie or who knows.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, until it came to you have to kiss Harvey Weinstein. Yeah,
part all right, We got more coming up.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Michael Muntz is coming in next The UH, the La
County UH Board of Supervisors has got billions of dollars
they have to find to pay various bills.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
But they're not They're not gonna have any layoffs next year.
No La County worker loses their job.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
And then I got to tell you about how the
lawp is getting sued by Palisades residents and they claim,
oh no, no, it's illegal to sue us.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
You can't do that.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
Deborah Mark live in the CAFI twenty for our newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to The John Covelt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI AM six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four o'clock,
and then after four o'clock we become a podcast, John
Cobelt's Show on demand that's also on the iHeart app.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
So there is no excuse.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You listen to it live between one and four, or
you listen to the podcast after four o'clock and you
can hear every every single minute at one point or another,
and many do that. We've had just millions of downloads
already this year. Coming up in the two o'clock hour,
kfi's Michael Monks, how is it that if the Board
(00:38):
of Supervisors have a huge have to pay a huge
price to clean up the fire debris, and now we
owe four billion dollars to the victims of county employee pedophiles,
how is it they're able to propose a budget with
no layoffs. Not one county government worker is going to
(01:01):
suffer from all the disasters that are that are going on.
We'll talk about that with Michael Monks coming up. Trump
had one of his entertaining press conference yesterday and in
a moment we're going to talk to John Decker. He's
Cafe's White House correspondent and he has been covering the
(01:24):
White House and presidents for many years. And Trump had
the El Salvadoran president, Naive bucalay in, and he has
made a deal with book leg two. Well, we're giving
it the guy six million dollars. And he took in
hundreds of criminal gang member legal aliens. Now there's one
(01:47):
guy that's been in dispute out of the hundreds, So
of course the whole media is focusing on the one guy.
Now he's a gang member, and he was he should
be deported, but proper process wasn't followed. And Trump has
been harangued by reporters ever since over the one guy,
(02:10):
and he finally had had it and snapped at to
Caitlin Collins from CNN, we got some entertaining audio to
play there. But you know, the guy's a bad guy.
I really failed to understand why if he's here illegally,
he belongs to an MS thirteen gang, He's done all
these terrible violent things in his life, why anybody gives
(02:34):
even ten seconds of worry over exactly how he was
removed or why he was removed. But that's the world
we live in. Is John ready yet?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Now? Yet?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
The deal is is Booklet came to Washington yesterday and
they held a press conference, and you know, the controversy
came because the Supreme Court said that the Trump administrations
should facilitate the return of.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
This illegal alien. The guy was living in Maryland.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And this El Salvador in prison, you know, is just
the worst thing you'd ever seen. This is where they're
handed a pair of tighty Whitey's para underwear and their
heads are shaved, and many of them, if not most
of them, have a head to toe tattoos, and they're
just laid out side by side and they're given hard labor.
(03:33):
And it's the worst prison you'd ever want to be in.
And they're all violent psychotics. So when we get to
John Decorn, we'll talk more of that about that situation.
And Trump also proposed that homegrown criminals are going to
be next, and that snapped everybody's head back. Now, he's
(03:57):
got a lot going on in that. People have been
angry all around the world over the tariffs situation, and
the Wall Street Journal had a really interesting story yesterday
about just how much manufacturing the United States has lost.
I bet you there are very few people, unless you
(04:18):
study this for a living, can understand the dramatic changes
in employment here in the United States. I grew up
at the tail end of this because my dad worked
in a factory, and I think I've mentioned every seven
years he lost his job three in a row, like
(04:39):
almost exactly at the seven year point, because the factories
were closing and the work was moving first to the
South and then to Mexico, and then overseas to Vietnam,
and eventually it went to China. So I lived this
life and this is the kind of neighborhood I was in.
And Trump thinks we've given away the store in and
(05:00):
that all kinds of important things are now manufactured in
China or in Vietnam, things that related to national security,
to our defense system, to our health because so many
drugs are made overseas. You remember after COVID the supply
chain problems, and you know, medicines were blocked in China
(05:22):
somewhere stuck in transit. And it was a realization for
a lot of people that Wow, we don't don't make anything.
We don't make anything important. And one of the good
things Joe Biden did is among his spending bills. I
don't know how much of this actually got implemented, but
one of the good things he did was to provide
(05:45):
a lot of seed money so companies could start manufacturing
computer chips here in the country. I'll give you this example.
In the nineteen fifties, thirty five percent of private sector
jobs in the United States were in manufacturing. Thirty five percent.
Now it's less than ten percent. There's less than thirteen
(06:05):
million manufacturing jobs in the US. And if you look
at a graph, yeah, it was actually in the nineteen forties,
right after World War Two, about forty five percent of
the jobs we're in manufacturing, and now it's less than
ten percent. And we had built up a huge manufacturing
(06:26):
machine here in this country. And then gradually we let
other countries take all our business. Companies said, oh, China
allows slave labor, which they do. China has no health
(06:47):
requirements for their workers, there's no protections on their health
and safety. There's no environmental laws in China. China pollutes
the planet many, many more times than we do. It's
so ironic because there's nothing but scolds that live here
in America. Over whatever pollution we do create. China overwhelms
(07:09):
us in pollution production, and nobody says boo about it,
because I suspect these people don't really care about the pollution,
but they know there's money to be made in scolding
and shaming Americans. The manufacturing picture began to change in
the nineteen eighties because we couldn't compete where labor costs
(07:31):
were lower. It is hard to compete when other countries
allowed slave labor. And then in the nineteen nineties NAFTA,
the North American Free Trade Agreement that got rid of
tariffs on Mexican goods, so suddenly factories started going to Mexico.
The steel producers lost out to South Korea. We're going
(07:54):
to get more into this later in the show because
it's fascinating. Now we got John Dekker ready to go, John,
how are you hey? I'm doing great, John, for having
me on today. I always appreciate it. I'm right here, yeah, yeah,
it's good to have you on. So yesterday Trump put
on a show with the l Salvadoran president over the
criminal legal alien prisoners we sent to Al Salvador, and
(08:17):
then Trump threatened to send American homegrown prisoners. Talk about
what went on and at press conference.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Well, it was in the Oval Office when the President
was meeting with the L Salvador President, President Bukelli. It's
the first president of leader from Latin America that the
President has welcomed to the White House in his second term,
and he was given a red Carcter treatment military honor
(08:44):
guard set up along the driveway as his motor Keke
came up into the White House and the President was
just really wanted to thank him in person for all
of the cooperation that El Salvador has provided to the
US in terms of the press President migrant deportations, as
you point out, you know, just within the past few weeks,
(09:05):
there were two hundred and sixty eight individuals that the
White House says are alleged gang members that were deported
to L Salvador, including an individual from Maryland that has
really garnered a lot of attention because this individual, according
to the Department of Justice, was mistakenly sent to L Salvador,
(09:26):
and now there's a big legal battle as to whether
or not he can be brought back to the US.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Now mistakenly because they didn't follow the proper process, but
he is here illegally and he is a criminal member
of Mayor Salvatrusha, that gang in l Salvador.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Correct, Well, that's not clear. He's never been charged with
any crime. He's never been in a court of law
determined that he is a member of MS thirteen. His
lawyers maintained that he isn't. The administration maintain that he is.
But he's never had that due process that the Supreme
(10:03):
Court says is necessary. If you want to establish that,
then you can establish that during a deportation hearing. But
that was never afforded to this individual.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
And now Trump is saying it's like, hey, I can't
force the president of another nation to release this man. Well,
he's right, he's.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Right about that. I mean, at this point, you know,
the Supreme Court can issue orders. But the fact of
the matter is this individual, as we speak today, he
is incarcerated. He is in a maximum security prison in
El Salvador, and a leader of another country in this
case El Salvador does not have to listen to a
(10:48):
directive coming from the US Supreme Court. He represents the
sovereign nation. So I think that, you know, based upon
what I heard yesterday in the Oval office, coming from
the Attorney General PAMBONDI what I heard from El salvador
A's president. It is really unlikely that this individual will
be returned to the US anytime soon.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I guess the question, and there's no way to get
an answer on this. Does the salvador and president to
have information that would suggest he should be locked up
in prison? Or is he doing Trump a favor here?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Well, it could be both. You know, certainly he's doing
the president of favor in the sense that the President
clearly doesn't want this individual return to the United States,
and President Bukelli is essentially saying, I'm not going to
return into the US. He's going to remain incarcerated in
this prison in El Salvador. This, you know, I don't
(11:48):
see how that part of the equation changes, even with
all the legal process that's taking place inside the United States.
As it relates to your first question, we'll see whether
President Fukelling maybe, you know, he does provide information which
indicates that this individual was indeed a gang member associated
(12:08):
with MS thirteen. Wat to wait and see.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Now. Trump said that homegrowns are next. He's going to
send homegrown American criminals to prison. What's the story there.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Well, he mused on that idea. He suggested that idea
in that press availability that took place yesterday in the
Oval office. But you know, he said, we'll look into it.
We'll look in terms of seeing whether that type of
thing is feasible. He said, the worst of the worst
can be sent to places like this maximum security prison
(12:44):
in El Salvador. Well, we've got a great maximum security
prison right in the United States of America. It's called Supermax.
I believe it's in Florence, Colorado. That's a good place
to send the worst of the worst. We've done that
for decades, and I think that we should continue sending
the worst to the worst to that supermax prison for
the foreseeable future.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Is that legal to send American prisoners to foreign countries
and put them in their supermax prisons.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'd never thought of that.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well, I don't believe it's legal. You know. You know
you're speaking to a lawyer, you know, and you want
me to weigh in with my legal opinion. There's no
federal law that allows the president to unilaterally remove a
US citizen to another country. It could be certainly in
violation of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution, And in
addition to that, the Supreme Court in nineteen thirty six
(13:36):
they had a case and they held in that case
that the president has no power to extradite or banish
a US citizen to another country except when authorized by
a treaty or an Act of Congress. And that's not
what is present in these circumstances and certainly wouldn't be
present related to a US citizen, a person who has
(13:58):
all the rights of the US citizen, even though they're incarcerated,
to be banished, it's not even deported. It's Danish to
another country to serve out their prison sentence.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
All right, John Decker, thanks for coming on with us.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
Thanks for having me on. Always appreciate it. Have a
great day, all right, all right?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
John Decker, cafi's White House correspondent. When we come back
a little more on that Trump press conference in the
Overall Office with the El Salvadoran president, because he got
into it with a CNN reporter and he started taunting her,
and the CNN actually broke in with a well, I
(14:37):
wouldn't call it a fact check. They wanted to clarify
something right in the middle of him. His diet tribe.
We'll talk about it next.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
We just had the White House correspondent to John decoron
CAFEI White House Correspondent, and he was a sorting gap
that odd press event that Trump had yesterday with the
El Salvadoran president Naive Bukeley. We had sent Bookeley two
hundred and sixty eight criminal illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
These are violent, bad.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Guys, trendyar Ragua from Venezuela, Marisalvatrucia, MS thirteen from L Salvador.
Most of them were venezuel and some were El Salvador.
And one of those guys is named Brego Garcia. And
just to give you some more details to why he's
become so important, the Trump administration claimed that Brego Garcia
(15:37):
was a member of MS thirteen and they threw him
into the lot. They didn't actually make a case with
a real argument with Fax and all. They were just
trying to get him deported at one point, and without
authorization from a court or an immigration judge, they threw
(15:59):
him in with the other two hundred and sixty seven
gang members. Now he should be deported, and he is
a guy you can deport, all right. He's not a
legal citizen. He came here claiming asylum. He's most likely
a bad guy, a violent guy, but everybody honors procedure
and process, and uh, Trump put him in the mix,
(16:23):
or somebody in the Trump administration did. And Bukley is
extremely loyal to Trump. Trump is paying him millions of dollars, well,
paying the country millions of dollars. And apparently they're really
close political buddies right now. So Bookla's going to do
anything Trump wants. And Trump is saying, hey, I can't
(16:44):
force this man to release a prisoner, first of all
the prisoners El Salvador to begin with. Boukley is running
the country and Trump's going, I got no control, I've
got no power. And that's what the ruckus is about. Uh.
The Washington media has no sense of humor about this.
(17:04):
And I'm going to play you, uh a little back
and forth. Caitlin Collins is this annoying CNN reporter. She's like,
reminds you of like the annoying girl who was a
class president in high school. And Trump doesn't like her,
and she keeps poking them about this prisoner play cut
number one.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
And it's that you said that if the Supreme Court
said someone needed to be returned, that you would abide
by that.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You said that on Air.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Force one just a few days ago.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
And they said that it mustator. Why didn't you just say,
isn't it wonderful that we're keeping criminals out of our country?
Why can't you just say that?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Why do you go over and over and that's why nobody.
Speaker 7 (17:42):
Watches you anymore?
Speaker 8 (17:43):
You know you have no credibility.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
She's attractive, though, John, Oh, she's a hottie, absolutely, But
you know what was that category?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I said the other day?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Though really hot looking, but a headache. You know who
was the other woman we were talking about that way,
remember Eric?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yeah, no, that that that that's all category. It's wow,
she looks she looks really nice, but boy, that'd be
a long date if she finds out you've got some
political beliefs that she disagrees with.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Women should be a scene, not her, John.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
It's just not a date, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Oh, okay, okay, I mean, you can go off all
you want, but I don't want to sit there and
pay for dinner at the same time. That's it's no
funody write these rules down life, life will be smoother.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Here's the Salvador and President asking Trump about his border success.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Actually, what you're doing with the border is remarkable, as Trump,
what ninety five percent to murder them.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
As of this morning, nine point one percent to be exact.
Speaker 6 (19:01):
What are those numbers not in the media, Well, they
get out with the fake news, you know, Liken CNN
over here doesn't want to put them out because they
don't like they don't like putting out good numbers.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
They don't like putting out because I think they hate
our country. Actually, yeah, but it's a shame. You're right,
isn't that a great question? Why doesn't the media, why
don't they put out numbers? Yeah, ninety It's like it's crazy, right,
we're doing the same.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
All right, So he says CNN hates the country. We
come back. I'll play you a clip of Dana Bash,
the CNN anchor cutting in to announce that that's not true,
that CNN doesn't hate the country, And we are going
to talk about the DWP is getting sued over not
filling up the reservoir in Pacific Palisades and they claim
(19:48):
that they are immune from.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
This kind of lawsuit. That's all ahead.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
We're not every day from one until fourth and then
after four o'clock it's the John coblt Show on demand.
That's the podcast version. Also on the iHeart app, we
have the Moistline eight seven seven, Mois Steady six eight
seven seven, Moys Steady six for Friday, or use the
talkback feature on that astounding iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
All right, we would we had to stop.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
We were playing a clip of Trump with the El
Salvadoran president Naib Bukeley. Boukeley has taken in hundreds of
illegal aliens, Venezuelan gang members El Salvadoran gang members and
put them into their version of a supermax prison, which
is just brutal. And I'll tell you this clip again
(20:46):
because this cracks me up. Bookeley is just playing a
perfect straight man to Trump and starts asking about the
border success, and they're both trying to embarrass the media.
There was a lot of reporters in there, because you know,
the media doesn't report much about this massive success where
border crossings are down about ninety eight percent, and after
(21:08):
you know, ten million illegals come over the border under Biden.
Now it's down to virtually zero and not a peep.
And the media spent the last over a week obsessing
about this one guy. They that Trump says as an
El Salvadoran gang member, and he was thrown into the
deportation pile and apparently they didn't go through the proper
(21:33):
due process, and the Supreme Court said that the Trump
administration should facilitate his return to the US. Now he's
not a US citizen, he can easily be deported. It
just there was no process used in his case. And
Trump is saying, hey, I can't force my good friend here,
(21:53):
Naive Bukelli to return him if he doesn't want to.
The prisoner, and his prisoner's name is He'll break Garcia said,
uh Boukeli said, he's a Salvadoran. I'm the Salvadoran president.
So you know what's the problem here. So Trump rails
on CNN in this clip, and then we're going to
play you the official CNN response from data Batch.
Speaker 7 (22:16):
Actually, what you're doing with the border is remarkable, as Trump,
what ninety five percent to murder as this morning, ninety
nine ninety nine point.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
One percent to be exact.
Speaker 6 (22:28):
Why are those numbers not on the media, Well, they
get out with the fake news, you know, like CNN,
CNN over here.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Doesn't want to put them out because they don't like
they don't like putting out good numbers. They only like
putting out because I think they hate our country. Actually, yeah,
this is but it's a shame.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
You're right.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Isn't that a great question?
Speaker 6 (22:46):
Why doesn't an immediate why do they put out numbers?
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Yeah, ninety nine.
Speaker 7 (22:49):
I mean it's like, it's crazy, right, we're doing the.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Same turn round.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It is a crazy turnaround. And I do track what
the media covers, and.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I can't tell you how many dozens of stories has
been done on this one guy, Albrego Garcia, who's an
MS thirteen gang member. But you know, we didn't sell
out the paperwork properly, and they're harping on it and
harping on it. It's not a resident of Maryland.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
He came here illegally.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And anyway, after Trump says CNN hates this country, CNN
anchored Dana Bash suddenly cut in.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
We've been listening to a lengthy live press conference inside
the Oval Office with the leader of El Salvador Bucele,
where we have heard a lot of bits of information,
a lot of news nuggets that we want to definitely
(23:50):
focus on, a lot of some misinformation as well, but
we want to digest all of this right now with
our terrific panel here and our reporters. Jeff Zeleny, I
want to start with you, you are at the White House.
Before I get to you, I just want to say,
for the record, since we heard President Trump say in
(24:11):
the Oval Office that CNN hates our country, CNN does
not hate our country. That should go without saying. I've
been here for thirty two years and I see a
rhetorical device in him trying to say such a thing.
That said, I want to focus on the news that
(24:32):
we heard, and that news came out in several ways
on several fronts, all relating to what is happening with
regard to this prison in Nel Salvador. Jeff, let me
start with you. You tell us what you thought the
top headlines were.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, but this is frustrating. They know what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Proportionally, they give it a more enormous amount of time
to one.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Guy albregog.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And the fact that the Trump administration didn't follow the procedure.
Although he is here, he is here illegally and he's
easily deportable. There's no question about it. There is very
little time given to the greatest border turnaround in the
history of the United States. We never had ten million
(25:25):
people come over the border in four years before, and
we all saw how it worked and what that did,
and then he turned off the spigot. It seemed in
a matter of days after we were told what a complicated,
complex problem it was with all the root causes, and
you know, it would take take years to figure this
(25:47):
out and lots of money, and we'd need new laws,
and Congress would have to pass comprehensive reform and blah blah,
blah blah.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
And it was always a load of crap.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
It was a load of crap from the Republicans because
they used to sell it was a load of crap
from the Democrats obviously they were pushing forward to get
new voters eventually, and the progressive media, who remember these
people don't believe we should have borders because they think
America's illegitimate nation built on slavery and racism and xenophobia
(26:18):
and all that stuff. We're not entitled to be here
because we stole the land.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
We stole the.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
Land, and then we built the country on the backs
of slaves. We have no business being the They really
really do believe it, and many of them are in
the media.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
And so that's why when Trump.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Shows that they were all full of crap and closes
the border in about a day, they have to switch
to something else that proves we're bad guys, and that's
Albrago Garcia, mister gang member, that they didn't process properly
when they were clearing the country out of two hundred
and sixty eight violent felons, people who committed murders. For
(26:58):
God's sakes, you know, they'd rather they'd rather us wait
until Brago Garcia kill somebody kills an American before we're
allowed to deport them. All right, we got uh, we've
got more coming up.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Six John Cobelt Show. We got a lot coming up.
We are going to get into the la WP claiming
that it can't be sued over not selling up the reservoir,
which was needed for the Palisades fire. We're also gonna
have Michael Monks on to explain how with the massive
financial problems LA County has, they're not laying off a
(27:36):
single person for the upcoming budget year, So we'll get
into that early on.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
You know, I'm always looking for a sign from God.
Did you know that?
Speaker 9 (27:47):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
I am what are you looking with?
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Eastern I'm looking for a sign that this all matters,
that there's a point.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
To this in existence.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
Have you received to sign yet?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Maybe that's that's I'm bringing this up because it's Easter week, right,
and it's Passover week, so you know, people are going
to their ceremonies and having their celebrations and their masses
and and and they're they're you know, they were their
Passover dinners. And I you know, I don't do any
of that because I don't think there's anything out there.
(28:23):
It's a onely place to be. Must everybody seems to
believe in something, and I'm I'm I'm by myself.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I'm kind of here. I that.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
That's why we get along so well, exactly. We both
think this is all kind of silly and pointless. You know,
I'm looking for a sign. There's a reward for all
this nonsense. But this could be a sign from God.
Did you see what's happened to Harvey Weinstein?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Yes, this is good.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Weinstein had his sex convictions in New York City overturned
because a judge thought that the prosecutor, well, the appeals
court judges thought that the trial judge made a grievous
error by allowing three extra women to tell their stories
(29:14):
in court about what Weinstein did to that. Yeah, and
it was the prosecutor had three more women and the
trial judge said yeah. Now the appeals court said no,
and eventually the conviction was overturned and thrown out. Thrown out,
so they have to do the trial all over again.
This is the original trial. He's still been in prison
(29:38):
because he was also convicted here in Los Angeles. Anyway,
the second trial is about to start. They wheeled him
into court and he's terribly ill and whatever this illness is,
he's gained twenty five pounds.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
I saw that on TV this morning. He did not
look good.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, he.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
He's He also has a severe tongue infection.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
That's even doing's doing behind bars?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Where's that where's that? Where's that tongue bit? I get
that tongue scraper handle's been selling.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, I think in prison you need that. He got
some kind of horrible infection. He's getting nineteen pounds in
the last month alone.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
But on prison food.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
That's what I don't understand. He's got some terrible illnesses.
He was in the hospital, he's sent to prison. How
do you gain twenty five pounds? He should be emaciated
with all that going on. In fact, the tongue infection
infection makes it difficult to swallow.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Well, if he can't swallow, where's the weight coming from?
This isn't possible.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
He's got he's got diabetes, and he's got a rare
form of bone marrow cancer called chronic myalloid leukemia. His
attorney say that he's not getting his medication. It's missed
and delayed. His chest palpitations are ignored, and he has
(31:22):
serious mobility issues, and the prison management doesn't seem to care.
Saw do he gained twenty five pounds with all that?
That makes no sense, Not to mention it doesn't make
any sense at all. So I wonder what I wonder
if it's related to the infection.
Speaker 9 (31:37):
Oh yeah, maybe he's retaining a lot of water or something.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
What was the exact moment he got the infection? What
was he doing?
Speaker 9 (31:48):
I just find it fascinating, don't you, John? I mean,
here he was, this sought after producer, I mean actors
and actresses, and everybody kissed is you know what?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
And here he That's how you get an infection. Kissed
a lot more than just that.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, you want to get a tongue infection, you go
kiss Harvey Weinstein. I remember when I came to LA
and it was really Hollywood was in its heyday, modern Hollywood,
and the other times just filled.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
With articles about all these characters.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Right, they were like royalty, and they were treated like
royalty in the press because if you didn't do that,
then these movie executives wouldn't buy advertising in your newspaper.
So everybody kissed his ass and all the other Hollywood
corporate leaders back then. And I used to think, man,
(32:42):
this is stupid. You know, these are the people who
are always jockeying for position at restaurants. Right, they have
their own tables and they you know, they have their
own hotel suites that are dedicated to them, and it
was like, you know, you come, I come from New Jersey.
It's like, what is this stupid world? Why is everybody
worshiping these clowns they made They you know, they shoot
(33:04):
movies which are made up of crazy people playing pretend
as adults.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
They make a whole lot of money.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, no, I understand.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
It's but there wasn't just you know, hey, we got
a good business here. We're a bunch of rich guys.
They were some kind of special lords and you know,
masters of the universe.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Because everybody watched me in movies and they're hoping that, hey,
I'm going to give you a good table. I'm going
to do you this favor. I'm gonna do this.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
You're going to put me.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
In your new movie or who knows.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Yeah, until it came to you have to kiss Harvey Weinstein. Yeah,
part all right, We got more coming up.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Michael Muntz is coming in next The UH, the La
County UH Board of Supervisors has got billions of dollars
they have to find to pay various bills.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
But they're not They're not gonna have any layoffs next year.

Speaker 2 (34:02):
And then I got to tell you about how the
lawp is getting sued by Palisades residents and they claim,
oh no, no, it's illegal to sue us.
