He's the US Attorney 12 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: for the Central District here in California, covers Los Angeles 13 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: and the surrounding area. Former legislator up in Sacramento. Let's 14 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 1: get Bill on to talk about this. How are you? 15 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: I'm dood okay, John, How are you? 16 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm all right? Did you know this was coming? Do 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: they give you a heads up that there's going to 18 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: be a major immigration suite in LA this weekend? 19 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: Well, I'll be honest with you. We've been doing immigration 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: enforcement probably for the last month. We've been going out 21 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: and arresting people with deportation orders of removal. And we've 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 2: been arresting people with arrest warrants and there have been 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: collateral arrests as well, so other people they encounter here 24 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: and losty. That's been happening for weeks. The only thing 25 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 2: that changed was on Friday we executed a search warrant 26 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 2: at a clothing factory place down in la We had 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 2: a search warrant to go in there, and that was 28 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: a larger operation that was conducted. So, yeah, we knew 29 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 2: about that. I don't think we anticipated the level of 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 2: people that would show up so quickly to interfere and resist. 31 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: It appears to be very orchestrated and organized. They were 32 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: kind of ready to go, and that's sort of what 33 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: I think set off everything after that. 34 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's one of the major triggers. Certainly, That's what 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: Tom Holman talked about. Do you know anything about these 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: groups that suddenly show up in great force? Is it 37 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: just a social media media phenomenon or are they heavily 38 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: organized and financed? 39 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: Well looking into it on Friday, it appeared to be 40 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 2: union related. The president of the SCIU was there. It 41 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: seemed to be one of the key figures organizing the 42 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: interference with our operations. Frankly, we had no idea who 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: he was. He was just a guy blocking us from 44 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: trying to do what we're there to do execute the 45 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 2: search warrant. He went move out of the way of 46 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: the police vehicles, and so he was arrested. Turns out 47 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 2: he's the president of the SCIU and it's caused it 48 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 2: has been a lot of outcry by every Democrat politician 49 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 2: in the state of California since we arrested him. 50 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: Are you getting a lot of pressure to give him 51 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: a break here? 52 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: They can try. I got some calls and I just said, 53 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: I don't care who he is. We're going to treat 54 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 2: him the same way we're treating everyone else. We're arresting 55 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 2: this weekend. So he spent the weekend in jail and 56 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: he's in court this afternoon for his arraignment. 57 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: Now, but the original ice goull was to go after 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: the owners of the apparel company. 59 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,839 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, So it's an investigation on the employer, and 60 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 2: so we have probable cause of crimes being committed by 61 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 2: the employer there. But when you execute a search warrant, 62 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 2: you're allowed to detain everyone on the premises, and yes, 63 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: everyone who is there unlawfully was processed administratively and is 64 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: subject to removal. I don't know where people get this 65 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: idea that somehow, you know, if you're here illegally, that 66 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: there's some sort of protections. There really is no. There 67 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: is not protection at home, deepot, there is not protection 68 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: at your workplace. You're subject to removal at any time. 69 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: And it was a tax fraud situation that he's being 70 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 1: investigated over. 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: The owner is yeah, I can't really comment. It's an 72 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: ongoing investigation that haven't charged yet, but we're looking at 73 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 2: several charges. 74 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: Of Okay, so you did this. So that was a 75 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: judge sign a warrant and they went in there to 76 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: go after the records to see if he's doing what 77 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: you suspect he's doing. 78 00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 2: Correct that we're allowed to everybody that was. 79 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: Reported on all weekend. That's why I'm trying to get 80 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: all the details out. It's because the whole weekend they 81 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: made it sound like this was a random attack on 82 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: women sewing clothing, and that was not. But the purpose 83 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: of this. 84 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: No, we had a search warrant to be there. It 85 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: was signed by a federal judge and we were doing 86 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: our job and as soon as word got out, the 87 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: organizers did their thing and they showed up a mass 88 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 2: and they created a very dangerous situation. We did ask 89 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 2: lap to come help. It took them a little bit 90 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: to get there and get prepared, but they did help us, 91 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: but it was too late. At that point. They started 92 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: riding at our courthouse defacing it. They almost breached the 93 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: courthouse there and VOI ball down downtown. LAPD came that 94 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: night and then we called in a lot more reinforcement. 95 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: So Saturday we had hundreds of Border Patrol officers up 96 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: here to continue our operations. They were staging in Paramount, 97 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: the facility next to the home depot we were staging. 98 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 2: Someone spotted them and said they're raiding the home depot 99 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: and that launched the next wave of attacks. But the 100 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: difference between Saturday and Friday, John, we were much more prepared. 101 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: On Saturday, Border Patrol did an outstanding job. They maintained 102 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: that perimeter, they fought back. They shot so much gas 103 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: and less lethals that we had to bring in a 104 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 2: black Hawk helicopter to resupply them in the middle of 105 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 2: this operation. Good. 106 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: So I just want to reiterate the home depot story. 107 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 1: That wasn't real. They were not doing a rate at 108 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: home Depot. They were doing their own stage rate at 109 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: their property next to the home Depot. 110 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 2: Correct on Saturday. That's correct. 111 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: Took two days for that story to come out as well. 112 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: So now we're at a situation where it's it doesn't 113 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 2: even matter what the reason is that. Now you've got 114 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: all the antifas and the agitators and the professional rioters 115 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: and there it's go time for them. And that's why 116 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: the President has called and activated the National Guard. Newsome. 117 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 2: I don't know what he's watching at his winery, but 118 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 2: that he should turn on the TV. It is not 119 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: in control. The city's out of control, and the President's 120 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: going to restore law and order. That's what he's going 121 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: to do. 122 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: Now. With the Marines coming, what's going to be their purpose, 123 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: same as the National Guard, to take care of safety 124 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: and security issues. 125 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: Right now, the primary purpose and function of the National 126 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 2: Guard in the military is to protect federal property and 127 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: federal personnel and our operations. So they're going to be 128 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 2: protecting our buildings and when we're out doing law enforcement operations, 129 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: they're going to protect those law enforcement personnel out and about. 130 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 2: So that's it right now. I know there's talk about 131 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 2: expanding their authority. I mean, especially after what we saw 132 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 2: on the TV last night, the blocking the freeways, attacking 133 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 2: the commuters, the vandalism, the burning the cars, the looting. 134 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 2: So I think there's talk about expanding their authority. But 135 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: that's a decision that will have to be made by. 136 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: The President, and their authority would be expanded to do 137 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: what arrest, oh actual arrest, but by the Marines and 138 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: by the National Guard itself correct for unlawful activity during 139 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: these demonstrations. 140 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: Yes, it's there is a federal I'm not an expert 141 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: in it. There is a federal law that allows him 142 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 2: to activate the military or the National Guard to restore 143 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 2: order in the American city. There's some author worry. 144 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: For that, based on how you interpret the law. What 145 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: Trump is doing in basically bypassing Newsom and activating the 146 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: California National Guard, he's well within his presidential powers to 147 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: do that. 148 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: Well, we as the US Attorney I will defend that 149 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: lawsuit in our court when it's filed, So we'll be 150 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 2: defending the president's actions as lawful. He absolutely has the 151 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 2: authority to do that. Newsom. I think he's just accustomed 152 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: to some maybe some courtesies that were afforded in the past. 153 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: But that is not something that is legally binding or 154 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: precedented as far as you know. 155 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: Is Newsom or Bass doing anything to make this situation 156 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: easier for the federal government. 157 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: Well, I will say this, the LAPD and the sheriffs, 158 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: they have been helpful. They have been helpful in helping 159 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: protect our buildings and our personnel both downtown and in Paramount. 160 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: Now they're not helping us with the immigration stuff, but 161 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 2: they're helping with the riots and the crowd control. For 162 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 2: the first time in a long time, John, I heard 163 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 2: the mayor and others actually denounced the violence over the weekend. Yeah, 164 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: I heard that a long time. 165 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: No, No, I. 166 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: Think what's happening is they're trying to they're trying to 167 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: justify or make a case why the National Guard is 168 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: not needed. So they're trying to Now, now, they're tough cops, 169 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 2: and we got this and we got this handled. Everything's 170 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: in order. We don't need you. So but I don't 171 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 2: think that's gonna work. 172 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: But Jim McDonald, the police chief, said that laped was overwhelmed. 173 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually I've gotten to know him over the 174 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: last week or so. I find him to be quite reasonable. 175 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously he's limited by his political bosses, but 176 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 2: I think he is telling the truth. They were overwhelmed, 177 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: and we knew it was the need for the National Guard. 178 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: We do need the national Guard. 179 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. 180 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: Once you see the police chief saying hey, we were overwhelmed, 181 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, well, who's next up in line? 182 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: And that would be the National Guard And they're already here. 183 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 2: Correct. And the thing people don't realize if LAPD has 184 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 2: to use all their officers to handle crowd control rioting, 185 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: then there's nobody to do nine on one calls. Yeah, 186 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: so who's handling all the robberies and assaults and stabbings 187 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: that are going on through the city. You can't have 188 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 2: them doing this stuff. Twenty four seven. 189 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: All right, Billa Salee, thank you for coming on again. 190 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: We really appreciate it. Thanks for having me. I know 191 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: you're really busy. 192 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 2: We're going to get this city. We're going to get 193 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 2: law and order in this city. 194 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: Oh, it's desperately needed. US Attorney for the Central District 195 00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: LA General Area Bill of Sale. We've got more. We'll 196 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: play in the clip of the police chief Jim McDonald 197 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: admitting that LAPD was overwhelmed by what was going on. 198 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 199 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 3: six forty. 200 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Show, and after four o'clock we're going to 201 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: post a podcast, and you want to listen right at 202 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: the start to Tom Homan, who's in charge of immigration 203 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: enforcement all over the country, both at the border and 204 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: the interior, and is leading the LA operation. And we 205 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: have another round of protests building in downtown Los Angeles. 206 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking at Main Street and Piseo and seven hundred 207 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: marines now up to seven hundred are being formally deployed 208 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: to come to the protests to join the National guardsman 209 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: and LAPD. And I would say based on this, and 210 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: Jim McDonald is very low key as the LAPD chief. 211 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: He's not a guy who shakes his fists and bellows, 212 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: so you got to listen closely, but he had a 213 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: very subtle hint here. I think they are not unhappy 214 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: at LAPD that they've got reinforcements from the National Guard. 215 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Listen to him last night and listen to one key word. 216 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 4: We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people 217 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: out there engaged in this type of activity and the 218 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 4: type of things that they're doing. They'll they'll take backpacks 219 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 4: and the backpack will have a cinder block in it. 220 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 4: They have a hammer, and they'll break up the cinder 221 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 4: block and use that pass it around to throw at officers, 222 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 4: to throw at cars and throw at other people. We've 223 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 4: seen people with hammers, and you've broadcasted breaking the ballards 224 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 4: behind the Federal Building and taking the rocks, if you will, 225 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 4: or pieces of concrete and throwing them at officers. We've 226 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 4: had liquid who knows what description thrown at officers. There's 227 00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 4: no limit to what they're what they're doing to ours. 228 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 4: And again, as I mentioned in my statement, I can't 229 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 4: thank our folks enough and our partner agency police officials 230 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 4: for going out there and taking care of the community 231 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 4: and trying to be able to put themselves between the 232 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 4: threat and the overall community. And they do this night 233 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 4: in and night out, and in these past couple of nights, 234 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 4: we've seen it at a level that I think discussed 235 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 4: every every good person. 236 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: This is why Gavin Newsom should shut his mouth. I said. 237 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: It seems Karen Bass is quieted down but Newsom is 238 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: still mouthing off. If the ip D chief says his 239 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: his officers are overwhelmed and they're getting hit with cinder blocks, rocks, concrete, 240 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: maybe we need reinforcements. I mean, this is Newsom and 241 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: Bass allowing this city and state to go to hell again. 242 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: They put out the welcome matt you get sanctuary, you 243 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: get lifetime healthcare. So every one of these guys, and 244 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm just assuming a lot of these guys are legal aliens. 245 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: If you're waving the Mexican flag, I think that leads 246 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: to reasonable suspicion. And you have a bag of concrete blocks. 247 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: I don't think legal citizens are trying to kill cops 248 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: with concrete blocks thrown from an overpass. This sounds like 249 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: some kind of subversive group, the group that came in 250 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: over the border, and they're here to create mayhem. That's 251 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna go with for now. So you gotta 252 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: you got, you gotta legal aliens, and I'm paying for 253 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: the healthcare and Newsom wants to protect them. And Newsom 254 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: is getting all angry that Trump is enforcing the law 255 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: that Newsom wou'd enforce. It comes down to that Bass 256 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: will not enforce the law. Newsom will not enforce the law. 257 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: Where are we supposed to go? You tell me who's 258 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: supposed to enforce the law. LAPD chief says, hey, we're overwhelmed. Okay, 259 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: Now what meantime? You have a counsel woman. And I 260 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: warned you about this woman for years. You miss is Hernandez. 261 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: She's not a Democrat. She's with the Democratic Socialists. They're 262 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: into anarchy. She is a defund the police woman. She 263 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: is an abolished the ice woman. She is on television 264 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: with a smirk on her face, enjoying that the concrete 265 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: is falling on the cops, and she's egging on all 266 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: the crazy people, all the illegal aliens who are violent 267 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: and waving the Mexican flag. She's egging them on TV. 268 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: She was on with the NBC four anchor Colleen Williams. 269 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: Listen to this. 270 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 5: Would you admonish this group to stay within the confines 271 00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 5: of the law out here? 272 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 6: What I would say is that people who are out 273 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 6: there protesting be safe. Remember that we need all community 274 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 6: members to be able to throw down in future emergencies, 275 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 6: and we need folks to come home and part of 276 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 6: that is being saved. 277 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: Okay, stop stop. So she didn't say that they should 278 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: be peaceful. They need to be ready to throw down. 279 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: What's that slang for throw down, to fight, to fight 280 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: using a little code there, throw down. That's that's a 281 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: city council woman in a district that is heavily illegal alien. 282 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: So there aren't that many people who vote, and so 283 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: the local anarchists and you know, they have their their 284 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 1: ballot harvesting technique, they collect enough ballots to put a 285 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: crazy person like that in power. She ends up on 286 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: some powerful committees in the city council. And now she's 287 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: a spokesperson there on Channel four telling her telling her 288 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: crew and get ready, we got to throw down here. 289 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: We can't have law enforcement.

We also have a clip of him getting 341 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: tear gassed. We'll play that in just a few minutes. 342 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: One of the things I've been talking about is how 343 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: an entire generation here in Los Angeles has grown up 344 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: and they've never seen the law enforced in public. And 345 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: it's quite shocking to a lot of people, even a 346 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: lot of people who should know better, who grew up 347 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: in a day where laws were routinely enforced in public, 348 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: and a lot of them forgot that this is what 349 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,360 Speaker 1: it looks like. It's not always pretty when you've allowed 350 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five years these groups to organize and 351 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: get embedded. When the immigration got out of control, starting 352 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: in the early to mid two thousands, it was George Bush, 353 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 1: the Stupid who unveiled this plague when he started talking 354 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: about amnesty for illegal aliens. Two things. A million illegal 355 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 1: aliens came out of the woodwork and had a big march, 356 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: which shocked the rest of the country. Secondly, it led 357 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: to millions more immigrating here illegally because they all, hey, 358 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: look at all the people who got in. Then social 359 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: media came along, smartphones came along, and a massive pipeline 360 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: was created, and that uh that Joe Biden and his 361 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: stooge progressives allowed it to flourish. And so this this, 362 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: this is built up over a long time, and again 363 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 1: nobody has seen the law enforced, and they're so horrified. 364 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: But all this stuff is written down. How they do 365 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,239 Speaker 1: it is written down. This is what the public, the 366 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 1: majority of the public has agreed to, majority of Congress 367 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: has agreed to. The president really has these powers. There's 368 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: also people really ignorant of how the system works. Oh, 369 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: he can't do that, Well you can. Just because you 370 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: don't know stuff doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Michael Schellenberger 371 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: wrote a piece which truly jumped out at me because 372 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: it's along similar lines. It's about stuff we've discussed. But 373 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: it's just nice to see that somebody else noticed, right, 374 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:08,360 Speaker 1: that we're just not sitting here going crazy. A lot 375 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: of people, this is Schollenberger. A lot of people are 376 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: upset about these images of violent protesters in Los Angeles 377 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 1: waving the Mexican flag. If they love Mexico so much, 378 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: why are they upset at enforcing our laws against illegal entry? Yeah, 379 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: that's right. Why not if they're waving the Mexican flag, 380 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: go and enjoy Mexico. Why are you upset that we 381 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: have laws against illegal immigration. To fully appreciate their significance, 382 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: it's important to understand that over the last several decades, 383 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: the people who run California and its major cities came 384 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: to a new consensus. A large number of our laws 385 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: were racist and oppressive. Yes, this is the nute of it. 386 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: This is why none of these laws are enforced, because 387 00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: they think it's racist and oppressive to enforce laws that 388 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 1: are the better rock of civilization. Sellenburger writes, Democrats increasingly 389 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: viewed laws against illegal camping, open air drug dealing, shoplifting, burglary, arson, 390 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: unlawful border crossing not as tools for protecting neighborhoods and 391 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: preserving public space, but as tools for putting poor people 392 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: and racial minorities in prison. See out flipped and you 393 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: let them flip it. That's why your neighborhoods are not safe. 394 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: That's why your public spaces are not safe, because you 395 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: let these progressives come in and flip the world upside 396 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: down and saying, well, no, no, it's not to keep 397 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: us safe. It's to oppress minorities and poor people. So 398 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: one by one, Democrats says Schellenburger stopped enforcing and weakened 399 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: laws against drug dealing, illegal camping, prostitution, public defecation, drug 400 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: use on sidewalks. Cities stopped enforcing anti cans camping ordinances. 401 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: State leaders directed prosecutors not to charge certain drug crimes. 402 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: Federal immigration laws were nullified by city policy in the 403 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: name of compassion. Progressives dismantled the foundations of public order 404 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: come to today. Over the last few days, we've seen 405 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 1: the consequences of this ideology erupt in the streets of 406 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Protesters attacked federal agents during ice operations, hurled 407 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: bricks and fireworks, and officers torched vehicles and defaced public buildings, 408 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 1: all of it filmed, cheered, and amplified on social media. 409 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: And then Newsom comes out and says what Trump did 410 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: was inflammatory, getting the National Guard called up. He was 411 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: at the center of this revolution to dismantle all the 412 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: laws that kept our cities clean and civilized and orderly. 413 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 1: Newsom was at the center of it. He destroyed San Francisco. 414 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 1: And of course he gets promoted to become governor only 415 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: because of his hair and his jawline, not because he 416 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: has a brain in his head. He clearly doesn't, and 417 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: he's really good at doing a jiu jitsu move. He 418 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: jumped out first and said, well, this is Trump's fault 419 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: for inciting it. And wouldn't you know there are seventeen 420 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: hundred people in the media going yoah, yeah, it's Trump's 421 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: fault for inciting it. It's like, no, Trump didn't give 422 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: out free healthcare to illegal aliens so they could mass 423 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: here buy the millions. He didn't create sanctuary cities and states. 424 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: Other states don't have this problem. Other states aren't sanctuaries. 425 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: Other states don't give out twenty two billion dollars a 426 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: year in benefits. Actually that was before the illegal alien healthcare, 427 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: so it's probably about thirty five billion now thirty five 428 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: billion a year if your tax money goes to illegal aliens. 429 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: Other states don't do this. We do. And so what 430 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: happened is they took roote, literally by the millions. Now 431 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: they have their candidates on city councils, their candidates are 432 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: in the legislature, and they have their organizations that are 433 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: fully funded. So if you try to say, hey, we've 434 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: got too many illegal aliens here, we have too many 435 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: violent criminals who are here illegally. We are spending too 436 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: many tens of billions of dollars on all these people. Well, 437 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: now they have the money, they have the membership online, 438 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: they could summon up hundreds thousands of young, crazy kids 439 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: and they'll show up with the concrete and the bricks 440 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: and the rocks, and they'll try to kill police officers. 441 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: And you didn't hear. You didn't hear Newsom or Bass 442 00:25:55,160 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: say one word about the cops who were hiding under 443 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: the overpass on the one oh one trying not to 444 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: get smashed in the head with a concrete block falling 445 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:13,119 Speaker 1: from twenty or thirty feet above them. Not one word, 446 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: because they don't care if the cops get killed. They'll 447 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: just blame it on Trump. Newsom and Bass are two 448 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: of the most despicable creatures I have ever seen in 449 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: my life, let alone in government running LA in California. 450 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: They don't care about destroying our way of life. They 451 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: don't They're actively complicit. And Schellenberger nailed it. You should 452 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: subscribe to his Well, he's on x he actually reprinted 453 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: this on ex Twitter, and he's also got a sub stack, 454 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: and that alone is worth the monthly subscription. Fit what 455 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: he wrote or more. Coming up, we got Michael Monks 456 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: KFI News, who's been in the middle of all this 457 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: reporting for kf I. 458 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI A sixty. 459 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 1: John Cobelt here Michael Monks on after Deborah's News to 460 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: talk about what's been going on? Anything going on this weekend? Nothing? 461 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: It was a very quiet weekend in downtown LA. I think, yeah, 462 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: well stirring up again. People are massing downtown. And is 463 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: Michael there? No he is not.

Well, he's going to talk 466 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: about getting tear gassed, and we'll play you a clip 467 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: as well. All right, let's play two idiots that you 468 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: pay to help run the government. Let's start with Karen Bass, 469 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: who claimed that the deployment of the National Guard was unnecessary. 470 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: I don't know did she say this before the protesters 471 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 1: started dropping concrete blocks on the LAPD car. I don't 472 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: know the timing, but play this clip. 473 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 5: This is intentional chaos, you know. I had talked to 474 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 5: representatives of the Trump administration earlier on to tell them 475 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 5: that the Los Angeles police department could control things that 476 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 5: were happening here and that there was no need to 477 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 5: federalize troops, and so to have this here is really 478 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 5: just a provocation and something that was not needed in 479 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 5: our city. We're still recovering after five months from the 480 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 5: city's worst natural disaster in decades, and now to go 481 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 5: through a trauma like this that is really traumatizing the 482 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 5: whole city because everybody knows somebody in a city where 483 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 5: more than fifty percent our Latino this just sows chaos 484 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 5: that is not warranted nor needed in the city of 485 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 5: Los Angeles at this point in time. 486 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: Boy, you got a lot of nerve. We're still recovering 487 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: from the fires. At least she brought the fires up, John, Yeah, 488 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: at least she's aware there was a fire. Miss I'm 489 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: going to ignore the fire warnings and fly to Africa 490 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: for a few days. Miss I defunded the fire department. 491 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: Miss I didn't hold any meetings before the wind started 492 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: blowing and the fire danger became obvious. Me I was 493 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: flying around the world, wasn't I. Oh, we're still recover 494 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 1: We're gonna be recovering probably from ten years. We got 495 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: a lot of nerve. If we had a different mare, 496 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: there wouldn't have been a fraction of the damage because 497 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: maybe they wouldn't have defunded the fire department the way 498 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,479 Speaker 1: they defunded the police department. By the way, we're going 499 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: to be at a record low for a police officers 500 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: if we're not there already, because she's defunding that too. 501 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: She said it was unnecessary in a provocation.
