I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio
appf I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart App. Well, Rob Bonta, who recently had to
spend a half million dollars on lawyers because he is
(00:25):
somehow connected to a case in Oakland involving the recalled
mayor who's being accused of accepting bribes. I don't know
what his role was, but he needed a half million
dollars in campaign money to spend it on lawyers. He
is also announcing a online platform for you to report
(00:49):
illegal actions by ICE agents. What he should be doing
is he should have a task force investigating Ricardo Lawra.
Alex Stone, It's gonna tell us what this is about, Alex?
Is this guaranteed?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Human? John? Hello? Humans?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Are you? I am human?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
John?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You're human? Alex? That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So California in general has been trying to figure out
how to rein in what you might call the unorthodox
way that the federal agents have been carrying out the
immigration operations, and quite honestly, among local police here there
has been displeasure the tactics of the Feds. Use that
their lack of organization, their lack of safety procedures, and
that law enforcement are trained to do when they're carrying
(01:34):
out a raid or an arrest, non traditional ways of
doing it, not wearing uniforms.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
But it is what the Feds are doing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And you know, there's that that recently passed law in California.
Now La County's trying to do the same thing, to
ban masks on federal agents and clothing that the lacks
identifiable information or even what agentsy they're with. And the
Trump administration is saying you can't do that, that we
are federal agents. State can't tell us what to do.
And now California Attorney General Rob Bonta announcing this.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Today, We're launching an online portal where members of the
public can report potentially unlawful conduct by federal agents operating
in our state.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So until this point, there's really been no recourse for
somebody who wants to make a complaint against a federal
agent carrying out immigration enforcement because, not surprisingly, the Feds
don't want to hear it, and you probably don't even
know who you're going to complain too, because most aren't
wearing any identifiable, real identifiable a serial number or a name,
and sometimes even what agency they are. But there have
(02:38):
been things as they've been doing the operations, like use
of force and crowd control and rounding up US citizens
that people have complained about. And California says that the
online portal is going to allow people to file complaints
with the California Department of Justice, upload photos and videos,
and if warranted, the state will then investigate and take
legal action against the federal agent and or the agency.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Federal agents may definitely enforce the law in a lawful manner,
but they must follow the constitution and they're not above
accountability now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
John in reality other than maybe reality. Yeah, turning into
two more lawsuits against Trump administration and Bonta files.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
One about every day.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That's it's a NonStop stream of lawsuits against Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's not clear what this actually means.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It seems unlikely that California is going to build a
case against federal agents and then send local or state
law enforcement into to go and arrest federal agents. They're
not going to do that. Local and state police aren't
going to go and I mean unless it's something totally
egregious that they are not going to go and put
federal agents into two cuffs. But more than anything could
(03:48):
be lawsuits against the agents.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
But the agcent when Californians witness conduct that looks unlawful,
excessive force, unnecessary detentions, unconstitutional searches, they deserve a place
to report it, a place where their information is taken seriously.
This portal helps us do just that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Again, maybe for a lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But the administration is responding saying California should be more
concerned with quote dangerous criminal illegal aliens end quote, and
bill a sale. The US attorney here, acting US attorney
in LA, saying, he too has an online portal, but
it's to report corrupt California politicians and yeah, for all
the bribes that everybody in the news of administration has
been taking for the last seven years. So he flipped
(04:31):
it around and said, use my portal if you want
to make complaints against the California leadership. But the state
is saying, now, if you feel like that you have
been wronged by a federal agent, which you know there
are a lot of people who have been out in
the streets as things have gone down and they have
concerns about this or that they now have a place
where they can go and upload their videos and their
(04:51):
photos and say, California look into this, and then who
knows what's.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Going to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You know that gone back to the to the the
you have to wear a mask, Squaw, you have to
wear a mask. But we've had playing close police officers
and undercover agents forever. Everybody in law enforcement on every
level has not had to be fully in uniform and
fully identifiable. You've always had people working blending in. That's
(05:20):
how you catch bad guys. Yeah, Now law enforcement would
say that is when they're in a very specified you know,
like a drug operation or something like that, and not
typically when they are in a more general sense of
in a protest. I mean you'll see laped has the
last name of the officer emblazoned on the back of
their helmet and on their chest and badge numbers and
(05:43):
everything else sheriff's department, the same thing that typically when
it's in a more general law enforcement you're identifying that
these are real, that these are not people impostors impersonating
a police officer that they want to make it clear.
But yeah, I mean there always have been a undercover officers.
It's a getting pulled over on the freeway by an
unmarked car. Typically that doesn't go on. In fact, in
(06:06):
the state of California. The reason why I'm not going
to get too dorky here with you right now, but
if it is a vehicle that is used primarily for
traffic enforcement under the law, has to be marked. That
is why you now see the CHP has these new
minimally marked Dodge Durangos. I think they're durgos that they're
(06:26):
driving where they're great. I've seen them in action where
those who like to weave in and out of traffic
or go speeding by, they never see these things coming
because they look like family suv. But they have a
ghosted image of the CHP decal on the door, so
it's a minimal compliance.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So they in real life you wouldn't notice them.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
They are complying with the law that they are marked,
even though they are it's a ghosted in image, it's
minimally marked. But yeah, so at least the state law
is that if it's somebody who unless it's an emergency.
You know, you see the the LAPD captains and whatnot
in their chargers as they go by their great chargers
on the freeway, but typically they're not pulling people over.
(07:07):
So normally, if it is somebody who's having regular interaction
with the public, they are usually in uniform and in
a marked vehicle. But the federal agents are doing something
totally different in the now the Trump administration suing against
the state law about no masks and wearing identifiable uniforms.
The Trump administration is saying, what are you going to
(07:29):
do about it? That we are federal agents, that the
state of California doesn't dictate what federal agents do, and
that's going to be for the courts to figure out
when they are operating in California, does California law over
law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Actions apply at all?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
The federal agents who are acting as law enforcement in
the state of California, dig Bets on the La County
Supervisor's Board, they just passed one of these laws. Oh
you know, we're not going to allow federal agents who
have it just like the same thing that California doing.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
What are you gonna do about it? But that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I was having a single arrest in the whole nation
of a federal agent. No so, and that's really thing.
I was talking to senior law enforcement leadership a couple
of weeks ago about this, and they were saying, we're
not going to go and arrest federal agents. Yeah, they've
got to work with them. The FBI works with the
Sheriff's Department and the LAPD and Burbank Police and Newport Beach,
(08:23):
but they work together all the time. They don't want
to create a relationship where they're coming after each other
and it's law enforcement agency to law enforcement agency. Unless again,
unless it's like child molestation or embezzling, or say, you
know something that is very clearly criminal, they're not going
to go and arrest essentially one of their own. But
there is displeasure among a lot of law enforcement of
(08:46):
the way, as I was saying, of the way that
federal agents are carrying these out, because they are not
doing it in a traditional and safe way. Typically, just
running out of trucks and chasing people through home depot
parking lots is not in the manual for most law enforcement,
and so a lot of local law enforcement is saying
they don't like how they're boxing. The Feds are boxing
people in and that's leading to to shootings and different things.
(09:08):
It's not a real traditional way of doing it, but
it is the way the Feds are doing it, all right, Alex,
very good, Thank you for coming on it. Thanks John
Alex Stone. ABC News on Rob Bonta. Once again, it
does pomp foon, preening and pretending that he can control
what federal ice agents do. Bonta has helped harbor and
(09:30):
protect hundreds and hundreds of violent illegal alien criminals, rapists, murderers,
child molesters, does nothing about that. He makes sure that
all the sanctuary laws are enforced. A total a foon,
a complete phony. And I'm dying to know what his
(09:52):
role is in that Oakland bribery scandal, since he's the
one who admitted paying a half million dollars in lawyers.
There's something dirty going on. The we come back, Holly Berry.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
She there's this.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
There's this speaking event in New York City. The New
York Times has something called deal Book, I think it's
a section of their website, and they have like a
speaker series and they had many of them on stage
two days ago, including Gavin Newsom and Holly Berry, the
actress who went off on Newsome over vetoing a menopause bill.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We'll play her clip and talk about this when we
come back.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
John Cobelt with you.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
If you want to watch our YouTube segments, you can
subscribe and see all of them YouTube dot com slash
at John Cobelt's show. YouTube dot com slash at John
Cobelt's show. That's where you subscribe, and you could watch
our YouTube video segments longer, just spend the whole day
(11:05):
when all right, at first I saw this and I
thought this was just a really weird story. So The
New York Times has the section on their website and
in their newspaper called deal Book, and every year they
have a speaking event, and Gavin Newsom was there this year,
(11:27):
and they have all kinds of business and political luminaries
and they sit on stage and there's some New York
Times hack that tosses softball questions. Well, among the people
who came out on stage was Holly Berry, the actress,
and Holly Berry really pissed at Newsome. There's a healthcare
(11:48):
bill which would fund menopause care for women, and Newsom
vetoed it. Basically it would cost too much money, which
is curious since he's spending thirteen billion dollars on I
legal alien healthcare.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Well, Holly Berry, let it rip. But the opposite of that.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Back in my great state of California, my very own
Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill not one,
but two years in a row. But that's okay because
he's not going to be governor forever, and with the
way he's overlooked women half the population by devaluing us
(12:31):
in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either.
Just saying I need every woman in this country to
fight with me. But the truth is the fight isn't
just for us women.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We need men too.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
We need all of the leaders, every single one of
you in this room. This fight needs you. Now.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
This is a bill that would spend money on menopause care,
research and education about women's health. And it's two years
in a row he's vetoed it. I hadn't heard about this,
but I mean, menopause is a serious.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Issue for women, and every woman goes through it at
one point or another.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And you know, if new someb is given away thirteen
billion to illegal aliens, he should have a few dollars
to deal with with the menopause research. I'm she says,
at this stage in my life, I have zero f's
left to give. I imagine it's not just a menopause bill.
She's unhappy to do some about it. Just just sounded
like it. And she also went off about the pressure
(13:39):
women are under. Our culture thinks that at fifty nine
years old, I am past my prime. That women my
age start to become invisible in Hollywood, the workplace, on
social media, women are pressure to stay forever thirty five.
We're complimented if we seem to be aging backwards or
defying gravity, as if that's even possible. Yes, yes, And
(14:01):
if we somehow managed to look younger than our ears,
it's suggested that's the gold standard that our worth should
be measured by. We've encouraged to contort our bodies and
our faces and truly extreme ways to chase this elusive
phantom of youth.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, there's a lot of facial contortions going on.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Yes, And I agree that women are under specially in California,
Los Angeles under that pressure, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Seeing a lot, still a lot of weird faces, which
I don't think are better than slightly aging faces.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
No, I agree, but I think women are desperate.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Some women, I should say, are desperate, so they do stuff,
and sometimes when they're doing the face lifts doesn't work
out the way they were hoping.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I would be terrified you had a facelift.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, lying under anesthesia and having some guys start slicing
up my face and pulling and jerking whatever the hell
they do. I don't even understand how it works. Yeah,
I don't know what they do.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
If your face SAgs so they have to pull it
up right, so they have to probably get rid of
some skin, sew it up.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
I mean, I haven't had a facelift. Clearly you don't
need one.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I was going to say, you're one of those one
of those people who's aging backwards.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Define gravity.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You defied gravity. There's some mystery secret there. I don't
know what. But uh, And you don't mind when people
compliment you like that.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
I love to be complimented, to be honest, I do,
but I do understand that my days are numbered.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well all our days are numbered.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I mean in the looks depart, I.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Sink, well you've got a few days left.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
A few days.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, thanks John helps helps being on the radio top Yeah,
pressures off.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
That's all the social media stuff that we have to do.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's optional, that's true.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Maybe one day I'm just not going to be on
social media, and then you'll know why because I look horrible.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You know, you'll become one of those women whose social
media picture is a cat exactly or dog.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah. I had to go through an approval process with
Deborah for the posthon post. Well, yes, oh really for yours.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
I don't want him to just post. I mean he
shows me a picture of me scowling. He's I assume
you don't want me to post this. I said, you're right,
I don't. Well, I was double checked, but that was
very sweet of you.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Eric I episodes there's no scowling photos.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
Well, I don't want a scowling photo of me on
social media.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I see a lot of scowling all afternoon. Yeah, I'm
looking a lot of scowling. I want the world to
see what I see. No, we got more coming up.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Coming up after three o'clock. We're going to have Nick
Gerda on. He's a journalist. He writes for last dot
com and he has had a number of stories about
all the stolen money in the homeless industry here in
Los Angeles, in southern California. This is this is our
(17:22):
version of what's going on in Minneapolis with the Somalians
and all the welfare money that they run through these
fake nonprofits up there. Well, our version of it is
billions of dollars being stolen and run through various homeless
housing companies. Nick Gerda is going to tell the latest
on a number of dirty deals. Now, Oh, by the way,
(17:47):
you had to listen to the podcast KFI AM six
forty dot com. No, where do you get the podcast
The iHeart the iHeartMedia app?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Sorry, John Cobelt Show on Demand, I have my promos.
All confused us because today's podcast. Listen to the one
o'clock hour. Because where Cardo Lara is back in the news.
La Times did an extensive investigation into all his trips
and all the money he's taken from insurance companies in
(18:16):
the insurance industry and all the branks that he gave
the insurance industry, and that's why the insurance is so expensive,
or your insurance has been cut off, or you've been
thrown into the fair plan. And he traveled thirty two
trips to twenty three countries, and we paid for a
lot of it, and the insurance industry paid for the rest.
And he doesn't even have receipts for two thirds of it.
(18:38):
So you got to listen to the one o'clock hour
on the podcast if you missed it. All right, let's
go to Carl Demayo and he's the Republican assemblymen down
from San Diego. Reform California is his organization, and he
is in the process of getting on the ballot a
proposition that would require voter id for elections.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Carl, how are you.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
We're working hard and time is running out, so every
moment is important. We're on our statewide bus tour. I'm
actually up in the Northern California area today. We were
in the Bay area all this week. Yes, we went
to the Gates of Hell. We didn't go inside Hell,
but we kind of tiptoed around it. But we're doing
(19:20):
our final events this week next week in the following
week for the turn in of petitions with signatures to
put the California Voter ID Initiative on the ballot. This week,
we've announced seven hundred and fifty thousand signatures have been collected.
We need a million, and I'm asking all of the
volunteers to submit their signatures no later than December thirty. First,
(19:46):
do as many signature collections as you can in the
next four weeks. Join me at one of our events.
We have a number of them coming up in southern California.
This weekend, We're going to be in Palm Springs, Corona, Ventura,
Santa Clarita, Victorville. Then we're going to be back in
Honeyton Beach and Lagodnaguel Your Belinda and all throughout San
(20:08):
Diego County. So you can get all the information at
voter id Initiative dot com voter ide Initiative dot com.
That's where all the event the events are posted. Bring friends,
and also if you just simply want to sign the petition,
go to voter ID Initiative dot com voter id Initiative
dot com. You can download, print, sign and mail it
(20:29):
back in before the deadline on December thirty first.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And it's a simple proposition.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
This should require everybody who wants to vote to show
their ID before they do vote.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
That's right, but it also does something even more powerful.
It cleanses our voter roles. It requires an audit of
each county's voter role every two years before an election
to make sure that only eligible people are on And
it also requires citizenship verification. And this has been a
problem where illegal immigrants have gotten driver's license in the
DMV has done motor voter automatically registering people to vote,
(21:05):
and we know that that has been a big problem
of undermining trust and confidence. So we really need people
to understand that auditing voter roles and citizenship verification are
also part of this initiative, in addition to just the
standard voter ID requirement that everyone knows about.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
How would it affect mail in voting.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
You know, I don't particularly like mail in ballots, but
California voters you do. So we do not affect mail
in ballots, except you still have to show your identity
by having the last four the last four digits of your.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
ID and ballot. Oh okay, is that the way it
is now because I never voted by mail.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
No.
Speaker 9 (21:49):
No, the way it is now is you just simply
do a little bit of scratching to approximate your signature,
and the signature reviews, John are actually not being done properly.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
There's a shock.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
It basically is the Wild West. When you switch to
the four digits, the last four digits of a government ID,
it's like the four digit pen on a bank card.
It's very secure, and we allow voters to decide what
government ID they want to use. They also can request
a voter card so that there's no barrier to voting
(22:24):
in California. We give people a free voter card if
they would like one, but you can use your driver's license,
a passport, social Security card if you'd like. But it's
a very common sense reform measure, and that's why the
polling shows John that when we get this on the ballot,
it's going to pass. Sixty eight percent of Californians support
voter ID, Seventy nine percent support the audits and the
(22:45):
citizenship verification. Overall support is in the mid seventies and
even fifty three percent of California Democrats support the initiative.
But the only people who don't support it, the La
Times editorial board and Sacramento politicians.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, the good good news is I think that editorial
board got disbanded.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Didn't it.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Oh who knows anything. They actually need to be arre
They need to be arrested and held accountable for their
pulpability and the crimes that have been perpetrated on the poor,
the poor people of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Oh my god. All right, voter ID.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
That's the referendum you're getting on the ballot and need
a million signatures. We got seven hundred and fifty thousand,
and we've got to get everything done by December thirty first.
And you heard Carl talk about all the towns that
they're touring through. Please go to the website again. Carl
listed websites so everyone can get the information.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Hey, go to voteride Initiative dot com, voter ID Initiative
dot com, or just go to Reform California dot org
and all the informations there as well.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
All right, Carl, great work, Thank you. We'll talk again soon.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Carl.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Demaiah seems to be a one man band when it
comes to resistance to the oppressive one party rule that
we're all living under. But yeah, voter ID would be
a big deal here in California. God knows what goes.
I don't trust it. I don't trust voter voter. I
don't trust mailing ballots. I don't trust certainly the ballot
(24:15):
harvesting nonsense. I think that's got a lot to do
with the big margins that the One Party has in
this state.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
They have, really they this this place really is rigged.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
All right.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
When we come back, we got a clip to play
for you of of Ilha Omar. She is that Somalian
congresswoman out of Minnesota. She's part of the squad. She's
Alexandria Cassio Cortes's friend, uh and and she's she's way
left anarchists, hates America, hates capitalism. This is one of
(24:51):
the things I talked about yesterday is when you get
a critical massive people who come from a country that
doesn't have a government and they're not emotionally invested in
our way of life, eventually they're gonna end up with
some political power and try to undermine our our system.
Ilhan Omar is a great example of that, and she
(25:13):
has got a lot of connections to this huge billion
dollar scandal, this fraud scandal in Minnesota, and we're going
to play a clip she was on with Jake Tapper
and the New York Post is a story on all
her connections because to me, there's there's something that really
thinks here as well.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
She must have known what's been going on.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from kfi AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
KFIM six to forty more stimulating talk radio. John cobelt
moistline is eight seven seven moist eighty six. We have
vacancies for tomorrow eight seven seven moist eighty six, eight
seven seven sixty six four seven eight eighty six, or
usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app ilhan Omar is
that Somalian congresswoman. You've probably seen him. What do you
(26:04):
seen her? What do you call what she has on
her head? I don't want to misidentify it. I thought
maybe Deborah, would you know whether it's a huge job.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Is it a huge job?
Speaker 6 (26:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, it's a turban.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
It's kind of like a turban.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
I guess, yeah, that's what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I don't know what it is, but you know, she's
very identifiable and she's part of the squad, and she's
the one supposedly she married a brother in order to
get him admission into the United States. And eighty thousand,
eighty thousand Somalians moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in general, and
(26:41):
so ilhan Omar became the congresswoman to represent them. And
there's the billion dollars now that's been stolen by about
eighty people in the Somalian community, huge backlash. Tim Walls,
the governor was told about it repeatedly, but he and
other politicians and bureaucrats were afraid to be called racist.
(27:06):
And you know, this is like Ricardo Lara stealing all
the money here and spending it all on his vacations.
If you accuse him of something, he'll say you're homophobic,
because you know, he's the first gay insurance commissioner, and
he spends a lot of the tax money and insurance
company money going to gay politician conferences around the world. Okay,
(27:28):
so he's bulletproof, he thinks so. And then ilhan Omar
and these Somalians who were ripping off the Minnesota tax payer,
they figure, well, well we'll just call them racist. I mean,
they actually found memos they found memos where some of
these criminals were discussing what to do if you're confronted
and you just scream racism and everybody will go run
(27:50):
away and hide. And that's how Tim Wallf's governed Minnesota.
He let them loot the place because he didn't want
to be called racist, or he believes it is racist.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I don't know, but he is.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
He's just a really sad clown. But what did ilhan
Omar know. You know, a Smilind community. They organize themselves
according to clans, which happens in a number of nations,
and you're either in the clan or you're not. And
the very close knit and you talk about not being inclusive.
(28:26):
They don't want outsiders getting into their business. And I'm
going to lay out the case against ilhan Omar. It
seems impossible that she didn't know that a lot of
this theft was going on. And this was a welfare stamp,
that's what it was.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
It was for.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Nutritional benefits, it's for like autism programs.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was a lot of fraud.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
And Jake Tapper asked ilhan Omar on CNN yesterday, if
she knew what was going on, you shed.
Speaker 9 (29:02):
Any light on why the fraud got so out of
control in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I think what happened is that, you know, when you
have these kind of new programs that are designed to
help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be
able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot
of the COVID programs that were set up, they were
set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails
(29:31):
did not get created.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, did she raise any any concerns? I think that's
the phrase, where any concerns raised at the time that
you created these massive programs that there were no guardrails.
And these third party entities are the nonprofits, the corrupt nonprofits.
Here in Los Angeles and in California, the main nonprofit
industry in this corruption racket is homelessness. In Minnesota, it
(29:56):
was Somalians ripping off welfare benefits.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Well.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
According to The New York Post, johan Omar had parties
at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, Knew,
one of its owners now convicted, and one of her
own staffers has also been convicted, both for stealing millions
of dollars. And that's why she opened her little statement
(30:24):
with uh, she knows a ton of stuff and Jake
Tapper at the time of the interview should have known
all this and boor in on her. I mean she
knew one of the owners convicted, one of her staffers convicted.
(30:47):
She held her victory party when she was elected to
Congress back in twenty eighteen at one of the restaurants
that was intimately involved in the fraud. Omar even introduced
the bill that led to two hundred and fifty million
dollars in fraud. And according to Bill Glhan, a policy
(31:10):
fellow with the Center of the American Experiment that's based
in Minnesota, Omar knew who these people were. People she
personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars a
year in this program. That's what he told the Post.
She'd been inside this Safari restaurant on numerous occasions and couldn't.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Put two and two together. Either she's terminally naive or
she knew and she didn't care.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Two hundred and fifty million dollars of the one billion
was handed out by the Minnesota government to provide meals
to school children. Instead, it was stolen by corrupt business owners,
including Salem Ahmed Said, co owner of the Safari Restaurant
where Omar held her twenty eighteen congressional victory party, said,
(31:59):
found guilty in August stealing twelve million. You know what
he claimed he did that he served four million phantom
meals to children during the pandemic. Four million kids he
claimed to feed.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
It was zero. He stole all the money. What did
he spend it on?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Two million dollars on a Minneapolis mansion and he had
a huge shopping habit, thousands of dollars every month at nordstrums.
You have to get involved in one of these nonprofit scamps's.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
I really do. I'm feeling very left out.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
You know that that's where you get the money you need.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
There was a lot of Most of the money was
funneled through a corrupt nonprofit called Feeding Our Future. It
allowed nonprofits and for profit businesses to be reimbursed with
tax money for feeding kids.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
There was hardly any oversight.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
And as the scam was going on in twenty twenty,
Omar appeared on video at the Safari restaurant to praise
the program. And one more thing, Somalia doesn't have a government,
not a functioning government, and David Gaitner. David Gaither is
(33:21):
a former Minnesota legislature who runs an adult education center
for Somali immigrants, so he knows what's going on. He goes,
when you raise your hand and call all this into question,
you get handed the racism card. You're shamed and put
into a corner. Especially if you're some mid level bureaucrat.
You're told to take some remedial training and look the
(33:43):
other way. The Somali community, said Gaither has a distrust
of norms in our society like Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
They're conditioned to ripping off the government because that's what
goes on in Somalia.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
And that is a problem with a lot.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
When you have too much of a population coming from
one country that only knows corruption, what's gonna happen. You're
gonna get this brand of corruption infiltrating our system. And
we have of enough of our own guys who are corrupt.
All right, we come back. We are gonna talk. This
is important. This is our big nonprofit scandal, the homeless industry.
(34:22):
Nick Gerda las dot com. He's had a series of
articles uncovering all these scam deals involving the homeless, housing
industry that is next you'll want to hear at debor
Mark live in the KFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI Am six
(34:42):
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 Cobel Podcast on the iHeartRadio
appf I Am six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
We are on every day from one until four and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on
the iHeart App. Well, Rob Bonta, who recently had to
spend a half million dollars on lawyers because he is
(00:25):
somehow connected to a case in Oakland involving the recalled
mayor who's being accused of accepting bribes. I don't know
what his role was, but he needed a half million
dollars in campaign money to spend it on lawyers. He
is also announcing a online platform for you to report
(00:49):
illegal actions by ICE agents. What he should be doing
is he should have a task force investigating Ricardo Lawra.
Alex Stone, It's gonna tell us what this is about, Alex?
Is this guaranteed?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Human? John? Hello? Humans?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Are you? I am human?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
John?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You're human? Alex? That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
So California in general has been trying to figure out
how to rein in what you might call the unorthodox
way that the federal agents have been carrying out the
immigration operations, and quite honestly, among local police here there
has been displeasure the tactics of the Feds. Use that
their lack of organization, their lack of safety procedures, and
that law enforcement are trained to do when they're carrying
(01:34):
out a raid or an arrest, non traditional ways of
doing it, not wearing uniforms.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
But it is what the Feds are doing.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
And you know, there's that that recently passed law in California.
Now La County's trying to do the same thing, to
ban masks on federal agents and clothing that the lacks
identifiable information or even what agentsy they're with. And the
Trump administration is saying you can't do that, that we
are federal agents. State can't tell us what to do.
And now California Attorney General Rob Bonta announcing this.
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Today, We're launching an online portal where members of the
public can report potentially unlawful conduct by federal agents operating
in our state.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So until this point, there's really been no recourse for
somebody who wants to make a complaint against a federal
agent carrying out immigration enforcement because, not surprisingly, the Feds
don't want to hear it, and you probably don't even
know who you're going to complain too, because most aren't
wearing any identifiable, real identifiable a serial number or a name,
and sometimes even what agency they are. But there have
(02:38):
been things as they've been doing the operations, like use
of force and crowd control and rounding up US citizens
that people have complained about. And California says that the
online portal is going to allow people to file complaints
with the California Department of Justice, upload photos and videos,
and if warranted, the state will then investigate and take
legal action against the federal agent and or the agency.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Federal agents may definitely enforce the law in a lawful manner,
but they must follow the constitution and they're not above
accountability now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
John in reality other than maybe reality. Yeah, turning into
two more lawsuits against Trump administration and Bonta files.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
One about every day.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That's it's a NonStop stream of lawsuits against Trump administration.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
It's not clear what this actually means.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It seems unlikely that California is going to build a
case against federal agents and then send local or state
law enforcement into to go and arrest federal agents. They're
not going to do that. Local and state police aren't
going to go and I mean unless it's something totally
egregious that they are not going to go and put
federal agents into two cuffs. But more than anything could
(03:48):
be lawsuits against the agents.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
But the agcent when Californians witness conduct that looks unlawful,
excessive force, unnecessary detentions, unconstitutional searches, they deserve a place
to report it, a place where their information is taken seriously.
This portal helps us do just that.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Again, maybe for a lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
But the administration is responding saying California should be more
concerned with quote dangerous criminal illegal aliens end quote, and
bill a sale. The US attorney here, acting US attorney
in LA, saying, he too has an online portal, but
it's to report corrupt California politicians and yeah, for all
the bribes that everybody in the news of administration has
been taking for the last seven years. So he flipped
(04:31):
it around and said, use my portal if you want
to make complaints against the California leadership. But the state
is saying, now, if you feel like that you have
been wronged by a federal agent, which you know there
are a lot of people who have been out in
the streets as things have gone down and they have
concerns about this or that they now have a place
where they can go and upload their videos and their
(04:51):
photos and say, California look into this, and then who
knows what's.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Going to happen.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You know that gone back to the to the the
you have to wear a mask, Squaw, you have to
wear a mask. But we've had playing close police officers
and undercover agents forever. Everybody in law enforcement on every
level has not had to be fully in uniform and
fully identifiable. You've always had people working blending in. That's
(05:20):
how you catch bad guys. Yeah, Now law enforcement would
say that is when they're in a very specified you know,
like a drug operation or something like that, and not
typically when they are in a more general sense of
in a protest. I mean you'll see laped has the
last name of the officer emblazoned on the back of
their helmet and on their chest and badge numbers and
(05:43):
everything else sheriff's department, the same thing that typically when
it's in a more general law enforcement you're identifying that
these are real, that these are not people impostors impersonating
a police officer that they want to make it clear.
But yeah, I mean there always have been a undercover officers.
It's a getting pulled over on the freeway by an
unmarked car. Typically that doesn't go on. In fact, in
(06:06):
the state of California. The reason why I'm not going
to get too dorky here with you right now, but
if it is a vehicle that is used primarily for
traffic enforcement under the law, has to be marked. That
is why you now see the CHP has these new
minimally marked Dodge Durangos. I think they're durgos that they're
(06:26):
driving where they're great. I've seen them in action where
those who like to weave in and out of traffic
or go speeding by, they never see these things coming
because they look like family suv. But they have a
ghosted image of the CHP decal on the door, so
it's a minimal compliance.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So they in real life you wouldn't notice them.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
They are complying with the law that they are marked,
even though they are it's a ghosted in image, it's
minimally marked. But yeah, so at least the state law
is that if it's somebody who unless it's an emergency.
You know, you see the the LAPD captains and whatnot
in their chargers as they go by their great chargers
on the freeway, but typically they're not pulling people over.
(07:07):
So normally, if it is somebody who's having regular interaction
with the public, they are usually in uniform and in
a marked vehicle. But the federal agents are doing something
totally different in the now the Trump administration suing against
the state law about no masks and wearing identifiable uniforms.
The Trump administration is saying, what are you going to
(07:29):
do about it? That we are federal agents, that the
state of California doesn't dictate what federal agents do, and
that's going to be for the courts to figure out
when they are operating in California, does California law over
law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Actions apply at all?
Speaker 2 (07:45):
The federal agents who are acting as law enforcement in
the state of California, dig Bets on the La County
Supervisor's Board, they just passed one of these laws. Oh
you know, we're not going to allow federal agents who
have it just like the same thing that California doing.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
What are you gonna do about it? But that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I was having a single arrest in the whole nation
of a federal agent. No so, and that's really thing.
I was talking to senior law enforcement leadership a couple
of weeks ago about this, and they were saying, we're
not going to go and arrest federal agents. Yeah, they've
got to work with them. The FBI works with the
Sheriff's Department and the LAPD and Burbank Police and Newport Beach,
(08:23):
but they work together all the time. They don't want
to create a relationship where they're coming after each other
and it's law enforcement agency to law enforcement agency. Unless again,
unless it's like child molestation or embezzling, or say, you
know something that is very clearly criminal, they're not going
to go and arrest essentially one of their own. But
there is displeasure among a lot of law enforcement of
(08:46):
the way, as I was saying, of the way that
federal agents are carrying these out, because they are not
doing it in a traditional and safe way. Typically, just
running out of trucks and chasing people through home depot
parking lots is not in the manual for most law enforcement,
and so a lot of local law enforcement is saying
they don't like how they're boxing. The Feds are boxing
people in and that's leading to to shootings and different things.
(09:08):
It's not a real traditional way of doing it, but
it is the way the Feds are doing it, all right, Alex,
very good, Thank you for coming on it. Thanks John
Alex Stone. ABC News on Rob Bonta. Once again, it
does pomp foon, preening and pretending that he can control
what federal ice agents do. Bonta has helped harbor and
(09:30):
protect hundreds and hundreds of violent illegal alien criminals, rapists, murderers,
child molesters, does nothing about that. He makes sure that
all the sanctuary laws are enforced. A total a foon,
a complete phony. And I'm dying to know what his
(09:52):
role is in that Oakland bribery scandal, since he's the
one who admitted paying a half million dollars in lawyers.
There's something dirty going on. The we come back, Holly Berry.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
She there's this.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
There's this speaking event in New York City. The New
York Times has something called deal Book, I think it's
a section of their website, and they have like a
speaker series and they had many of them on stage
two days ago, including Gavin Newsom and Holly Berry, the
actress who went off on Newsome over vetoing a menopause bill.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
We'll play her clip and talk about this when we
come back.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
John Cobelt with you.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
If you want to watch our YouTube segments, you can
subscribe and see all of them YouTube dot com slash
at John Cobelt's show. YouTube dot com slash at John
Cobelt's show. That's where you subscribe, and you could watch
our YouTube video segments longer, just spend the whole day
(11:05):
when all right, at first I saw this and I
thought this was just a really weird story. So The
New York Times has the section on their website and
in their newspaper called deal Book, and every year they
have a speaking event, and Gavin Newsom was there this year,
(11:27):
and they have all kinds of business and political luminaries
and they sit on stage and there's some New York
Times hack that tosses softball questions. Well, among the people
who came out on stage was Holly Berry, the actress,
and Holly Berry really pissed at Newsome. There's a healthcare
(11:48):
bill which would fund menopause care for women, and Newsom
vetoed it. Basically it would cost too much money, which
is curious since he's spending thirteen billion dollars on I
legal alien healthcare.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Well, Holly Berry, let it rip. But the opposite of that.
Speaker 6 (12:10):
Back in my great state of California, my very own
Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed our menopause bill not one,
but two years in a row. But that's okay because
he's not going to be governor forever, and with the
way he's overlooked women half the population by devaluing us
(12:31):
in midlife, he probably should not be our next president either.
Just saying I need every woman in this country to
fight with me. But the truth is the fight isn't
just for us women.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
We need men too.
Speaker 6 (12:46):
We need all of the leaders, every single one of
you in this room. This fight needs you. Now.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
This is a bill that would spend money on menopause care,
research and education about women's health. And it's two years
in a row he's vetoed it. I hadn't heard about this,
but I mean, menopause is a serious.
Speaker 7 (13:11):
Issue for women, and every woman goes through it at
one point or another.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And you know, if new someb is given away thirteen
billion to illegal aliens, he should have a few dollars
to deal with with the menopause research. I'm she says,
at this stage in my life, I have zero f's
left to give. I imagine it's not just a menopause bill.
She's unhappy to do some about it. Just just sounded
like it. And she also went off about the pressure
(13:39):
women are under. Our culture thinks that at fifty nine
years old, I am past my prime. That women my
age start to become invisible in Hollywood, the workplace, on
social media, women are pressure to stay forever thirty five.
We're complimented if we seem to be aging backwards or
defying gravity, as if that's even possible. Yes, yes, And
(14:01):
if we somehow managed to look younger than our ears,
it's suggested that's the gold standard that our worth should
be measured by. We've encouraged to contort our bodies and
our faces and truly extreme ways to chase this elusive
phantom of youth.
Speaker 8 (14:19):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, there's a lot of facial contortions going on.
Speaker 7 (14:23):
Yes, And I agree that women are under specially in California,
Los Angeles under that pressure, and I'm.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Seeing a lot, still a lot of weird faces, which
I don't think are better than slightly aging faces.
Speaker 8 (14:38):
No, I agree, but I think women are desperate.
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Some women, I should say, are desperate, so they do stuff,
and sometimes when they're doing the face lifts doesn't work
out the way they were hoping.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
I would be terrified you had a facelift.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, lying under anesthesia and having some guys start slicing
up my face and pulling and jerking whatever the hell
they do. I don't even understand how it works. Yeah,
I don't know what they do.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
If your face SAgs so they have to pull it
up right, so they have to probably get rid of
some skin, sew it up.
Speaker 8 (15:15):
I mean, I haven't had a facelift. Clearly you don't
need one.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I was going to say, you're one of those one
of those people who's aging backwards.
Speaker 8 (15:23):
Define gravity.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
You defied gravity. There's some mystery secret there. I don't
know what. But uh, And you don't mind when people
compliment you like that.
Speaker 7 (15:33):
I love to be complimented, to be honest, I do,
but I do understand that my days are numbered.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well all our days are numbered.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I mean in the looks depart, I.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Sink, well you've got a few days left.
Speaker 8 (15:49):
A few days.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, thanks John helps helps being on the radio top Yeah,
pressures off.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
That's all the social media stuff that we have to do.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
That's optional, that's true.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Maybe one day I'm just not going to be on
social media, and then you'll know why because I look horrible.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
You know, you'll become one of those women whose social
media picture is a cat exactly or dog.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Yeah. I had to go through an approval process with
Deborah for the posthon post. Well, yes, oh really for yours.
Speaker 8 (16:27):
I don't want him to just post. I mean he
shows me a picture of me scowling. He's I assume
you don't want me to post this. I said, you're right,
I don't. Well, I was double checked, but that was
very sweet of you.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Eric I episodes there's no scowling photos.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
Well, I don't want a scowling photo of me on
social media.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I see a lot of scowling all afternoon. Yeah, I'm
looking a lot of scowling. I want the world to
see what I see. No, we got more coming up.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
You're listening to John Cobel's on Demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Coming up after three o'clock. We're going to have Nick
Gerda on. He's a journalist. He writes for last dot
com and he has had a number of stories about
all the stolen money in the homeless industry here in
Los Angeles, in southern California. This is this is our
(17:22):
version of what's going on in Minneapolis with the Somalians
and all the welfare money that they run through these
fake nonprofits up there. Well, our version of it is
billions of dollars being stolen and run through various homeless
housing companies. Nick Gerda is going to tell the latest
on a number of dirty deals. Now, Oh, by the way,
(17:47):
you had to listen to the podcast KFI AM six
forty dot com. No, where do you get the podcast
The iHeart the iHeartMedia app?
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Sorry, John Cobelt Show on Demand, I have my promos.
All confused us because today's podcast. Listen to the one
o'clock hour. Because where Cardo Lara is back in the news.
La Times did an extensive investigation into all his trips
and all the money he's taken from insurance companies in
(18:16):
the insurance industry and all the branks that he gave
the insurance industry, and that's why the insurance is so expensive,
or your insurance has been cut off, or you've been
thrown into the fair plan. And he traveled thirty two
trips to twenty three countries, and we paid for a
lot of it, and the insurance industry paid for the rest.
And he doesn't even have receipts for two thirds of it.
(18:38):
So you got to listen to the one o'clock hour
on the podcast if you missed it. All right, let's
go to Carl Demayo and he's the Republican assemblymen down
from San Diego. Reform California is his organization, and he
is in the process of getting on the ballot a
proposition that would require voter id for elections.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Carl, how are you.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
We're working hard and time is running out, so every
moment is important. We're on our statewide bus tour. I'm
actually up in the Northern California area today. We were
in the Bay area all this week. Yes, we went
to the Gates of Hell. We didn't go inside Hell,
but we kind of tiptoed around it. But we're doing
(19:20):
our final events this week next week in the following
week for the turn in of petitions with signatures to
put the California Voter ID Initiative on the ballot. This week,
we've announced seven hundred and fifty thousand signatures have been collected.
We need a million, and I'm asking all of the
volunteers to submit their signatures no later than December thirty. First,
(19:46):
do as many signature collections as you can in the
next four weeks. Join me at one of our events.
We have a number of them coming up in southern California.
This weekend, We're going to be in Palm Springs, Corona, Ventura,
Santa Clarita, Victorville. Then we're going to be back in
Honeyton Beach and Lagodnaguel Your Belinda and all throughout San
(20:08):
Diego County. So you can get all the information at
voter id Initiative dot com voter ide Initiative dot com.
That's where all the event the events are posted. Bring friends,
and also if you just simply want to sign the petition,
go to voter ID Initiative dot com voter id Initiative
dot com. You can download, print, sign and mail it
(20:29):
back in before the deadline on December thirty first.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And it's a simple proposition.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
This should require everybody who wants to vote to show
their ID before they do vote.
Speaker 9 (20:40):
That's right, but it also does something even more powerful.
It cleanses our voter roles. It requires an audit of
each county's voter role every two years before an election
to make sure that only eligible people are on And
it also requires citizenship verification. And this has been a
problem where illegal immigrants have gotten driver's license in the
DMV has done motor voter automatically registering people to vote,
(21:05):
and we know that that has been a big problem
of undermining trust and confidence. So we really need people
to understand that auditing voter roles and citizenship verification are
also part of this initiative, in addition to just the
standard voter ID requirement that everyone knows about.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
How would it affect mail in voting.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
You know, I don't particularly like mail in ballots, but
California voters you do. So we do not affect mail
in ballots, except you still have to show your identity
by having the last four the last four digits of your.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
ID and ballot. Oh okay, is that the way it
is now because I never voted by mail.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
No.
Speaker 9 (21:49):
No, the way it is now is you just simply
do a little bit of scratching to approximate your signature,
and the signature reviews, John are actually not being done properly.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
There's a shock.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
It basically is the Wild West. When you switch to
the four digits, the last four digits of a government ID,
it's like the four digit pen on a bank card.
It's very secure, and we allow voters to decide what
government ID they want to use. They also can request
a voter card so that there's no barrier to voting
(22:24):
in California. We give people a free voter card if
they would like one, but you can use your driver's license,
a passport, social Security card if you'd like. But it's
a very common sense reform measure, and that's why the
polling shows John that when we get this on the ballot,
it's going to pass. Sixty eight percent of Californians support
voter ID, Seventy nine percent support the audits and the
(22:45):
citizenship verification. Overall support is in the mid seventies and
even fifty three percent of California Democrats support the initiative.
But the only people who don't support it, the La
Times editorial board and Sacramento politicians.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, the good good news is I think that editorial
board got disbanded.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Didn't it.
Speaker 9 (23:06):
Oh who knows anything. They actually need to be arre
They need to be arrested and held accountable for their
pulpability and the crimes that have been perpetrated on the poor,
the poor people of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Oh my god. All right, voter ID.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
That's the referendum you're getting on the ballot and need
a million signatures. We got seven hundred and fifty thousand,
and we've got to get everything done by December thirty first.
And you heard Carl talk about all the towns that
they're touring through. Please go to the website again. Carl
listed websites so everyone can get the information.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Hey, go to voteride Initiative dot com, voter ID Initiative
dot com, or just go to Reform California dot org
and all the informations there as well.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
All right, Carl, great work, Thank you. We'll talk again soon.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Carl.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Demaiah seems to be a one man band when it
comes to resistance to the oppressive one party rule that
we're all living under. But yeah, voter ID would be
a big deal here in California. God knows what goes.
I don't trust it. I don't trust voter voter. I
don't trust mailing ballots. I don't trust certainly the ballot
(24:15):
harvesting nonsense. I think that's got a lot to do
with the big margins that the One Party has in
this state.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
They have, really they this this place really is rigged.
Speaker 8 (24:25):
All right.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
When we come back, we got a clip to play
for you of of Ilha Omar. She is that Somalian
congresswoman out of Minnesota. She's part of the squad. She's
Alexandria Cassio Cortes's friend, uh and and she's she's way
left anarchists, hates America, hates capitalism. This is one of
(24:51):
the things I talked about yesterday is when you get
a critical massive people who come from a country that
doesn't have a government and they're not emotionally invested in
our way of life, eventually they're gonna end up with
some political power and try to undermine our our system.
Ilhan Omar is a great example of that, and she
(25:13):
has got a lot of connections to this huge billion
dollar scandal, this fraud scandal in Minnesota, and we're going
to play a clip she was on with Jake Tapper
and the New York Post is a story on all
her connections because to me, there's there's something that really
thinks here as well.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
She must have known what's been going on.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from kfi AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
KFIM six to forty more stimulating talk radio. John cobelt
moistline is eight seven seven moist eighty six. We have
vacancies for tomorrow eight seven seven moist eighty six, eight
seven seven sixty six four seven eight eighty six, or
usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app ilhan Omar is
that Somalian congresswoman. You've probably seen him. What do you
(26:04):
seen her? What do you call what she has on
her head? I don't want to misidentify it. I thought
maybe Deborah, would you know whether it's a huge job.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Is it a huge job?
Speaker 6 (26:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (26:13):
No, it's a turban.
Speaker 8 (26:15):
It's kind of like a turban.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
I guess, yeah, that's what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
I don't know what it is, but you know, she's
very identifiable and she's part of the squad, and she's
the one supposedly she married a brother in order to
get him admission into the United States. And eighty thousand,
eighty thousand Somalians moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota in general, and
(26:41):
so ilhan Omar became the congresswoman to represent them. And
there's the billion dollars now that's been stolen by about
eighty people in the Somalian community, huge backlash. Tim Walls,
the governor was told about it repeatedly, but he and
other politicians and bureaucrats were afraid to be called racist.
(27:06):
And you know, this is like Ricardo Lara stealing all
the money here and spending it all on his vacations.
If you accuse him of something, he'll say you're homophobic,
because you know, he's the first gay insurance commissioner, and
he spends a lot of the tax money and insurance
company money going to gay politician conferences around the world. Okay,
(27:28):
so he's bulletproof, he thinks so. And then ilhan Omar
and these Somalians who were ripping off the Minnesota tax payer,
they figure, well, well we'll just call them racist. I mean,
they actually found memos they found memos where some of
these criminals were discussing what to do if you're confronted
and you just scream racism and everybody will go run
(27:50):
away and hide. And that's how Tim Wallf's governed Minnesota.
He let them loot the place because he didn't want
to be called racist, or he believes it is racist.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I don't know, but he is.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
He's just a really sad clown. But what did ilhan
Omar know. You know, a Smilind community. They organize themselves
according to clans, which happens in a number of nations,
and you're either in the clan or you're not. And
the very close knit and you talk about not being inclusive.
(28:26):
They don't want outsiders getting into their business. And I'm
going to lay out the case against ilhan Omar. It
seems impossible that she didn't know that a lot of
this theft was going on. And this was a welfare stamp,
that's what it was.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
It was for.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Nutritional benefits, it's for like autism programs.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was a lot of fraud.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
And Jake Tapper asked ilhan Omar on CNN yesterday, if
she knew what was going on, you shed.
Speaker 9 (29:02):
Any light on why the fraud got so out of
control in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I think what happened is that, you know, when you
have these kind of new programs that are designed to
help people, you're oftentimes relying on third parties to be
able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot
of the COVID programs that were set up, they were
set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails
(29:31):
did not get created.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, did she raise any any concerns? I think that's
the phrase, where any concerns raised at the time that
you created these massive programs that there were no guardrails.
And these third party entities are the nonprofits, the corrupt nonprofits.
Here in Los Angeles and in California, the main nonprofit
industry in this corruption racket is homelessness. In Minnesota, it
(29:56):
was Somalians ripping off welfare benefits.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Well.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
According to The New York Post, johan Omar had parties
at one of the key restaurants named in the fraud, Knew,
one of its owners now convicted, and one of her
own staffers has also been convicted, both for stealing millions
of dollars. And that's why she opened her little statement
(30:24):
with uh, she knows a ton of stuff and Jake
Tapper at the time of the interview should have known
all this and boor in on her. I mean she
knew one of the owners convicted, one of her staffers convicted.
(30:47):
She held her victory party when she was elected to
Congress back in twenty eighteen at one of the restaurants
that was intimately involved in the fraud. Omar even introduced
the bill that led to two hundred and fifty million
dollars in fraud. And according to Bill Glhan, a policy
(31:10):
fellow with the Center of the American Experiment that's based
in Minnesota, Omar knew who these people were. People she
personally knew were making tens of millions of dollars a
year in this program. That's what he told the Post.
She'd been inside this Safari restaurant on numerous occasions and couldn't.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Put two and two together. Either she's terminally naive or
she knew and she didn't care.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Two hundred and fifty million dollars of the one billion
was handed out by the Minnesota government to provide meals
to school children. Instead, it was stolen by corrupt business owners,
including Salem Ahmed Said, co owner of the Safari Restaurant
where Omar held her twenty eighteen congressional victory party, said,
(31:59):
found guilty in August stealing twelve million. You know what
he claimed he did that he served four million phantom
meals to children during the pandemic. Four million kids he
claimed to feed.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
It was zero. He stole all the money. What did
he spend it on?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Two million dollars on a Minneapolis mansion and he had
a huge shopping habit, thousands of dollars every month at nordstrums.
You have to get involved in one of these nonprofit scamps's.
Speaker 8 (32:38):
I really do. I'm feeling very left out.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
You know that that's where you get the money you need.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
There was a lot of Most of the money was
funneled through a corrupt nonprofit called Feeding Our Future. It
allowed nonprofits and for profit businesses to be reimbursed with
tax money for feeding kids.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
There was hardly any oversight.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
And as the scam was going on in twenty twenty,
Omar appeared on video at the Safari restaurant to praise
the program. And one more thing, Somalia doesn't have a government,
not a functioning government, and David Gaitner. David Gaither is
(33:21):
a former Minnesota legislature who runs an adult education center
for Somali immigrants, so he knows what's going on. He goes,
when you raise your hand and call all this into question,
you get handed the racism card. You're shamed and put
into a corner. Especially if you're some mid level bureaucrat.
You're told to take some remedial training and look the
(33:43):
other way. The Somali community, said Gaither has a distrust
of norms in our society like Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
They're conditioned to ripping off the government because that's what
goes on in Somalia.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
And that is a problem with a lot.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
When you have too much of a population coming from
one country that only knows corruption, what's gonna happen. You're
gonna get this brand of corruption infiltrating our system. And
we have of enough of our own guys who are corrupt.
All right, we come back. We are gonna talk. This
is important. This is our big nonprofit scandal, the homeless industry.
(34:22):
Nick Gerda las dot com. He's had a series of
articles uncovering all these scam deals involving the homeless, housing
industry that is next you'll want to hear at debor

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
