1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: Can't I am six forty you're listening to the John 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,479 Speaker 1: from three to six, and remember after six o'clock you 4 00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: gotta go to the podcast. That's where you listen to 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: what you missed. Last hour. We did a lot on 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: this fake phony garbage pole that was put out by 7 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: Loyola Marymount. It's it's it's a push pole to boost 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: Nythia Rammins candidacy, and of course most everybody in the 9 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: media fell for it, and I explained in detail how 10 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 1: the whole system works. And fortunately the La Times went 11 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: out of its way to discredit the poll because it 12 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: should be discredited. So well, that's that's an hour number one. 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: You should get the podcast to hear that talk. We're 14 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: going to talk with Michael Gates now. Michael Gates is 15 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: formerly the city attorney in Huntington Beach. He is running 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: against Rob Bonta for Attorney General on the Republicans, and 17 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: Bonta is filing a lawsuit along with other attorneys generals 18 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: angry with Trump because Trump put an end to all 19 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: the climate change policies and nonsense in these states, like 20 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: our stupid electric vehicle mandate. Let's get Michael Gates on. Michael, 21 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: how are you good? Thank you for having me. One 22 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: of the big stories that came out in the last 23 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: twenty four hours is the House Energy Committee is going 24 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: to issue subpoenas to the chairwoman Lauren Sanchez of the 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: California Air Resources Board to find out how exactly the 26 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: state got to this electric vehicle mandate without an electrical 27 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: grid and without very many charging stations, and without much 28 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: of the public being interested in this. What do you 29 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: think they're going to find in these with the subpoenas 30 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: well the memos and emails. 31 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm sure there's there's a whole treasure trove. 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: It's probably just back, you know, years and years. There's 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: going to be I anticipate so amazing information. But you know, 34 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: this is like one more step, one more cog in 35 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: the wheel of all of the corruption and this industrial 36 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: complex created by our government here in Sacramento, whether it's 37 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: the homelessness, trying to solve that problem, you create, actually 38 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: create a little economy, create a business, create a create corruption, 39 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 2: a corrupt system. You know, these energy companies and these 40 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 2: energy mandates in California. It's the same kind of thing. 41 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: You know, there's really no real science to it to 42 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: support it. It's just like the high density housing mandates. 43 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: There's no empirical data to support any of what's coming 44 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: out of Sacramento. It's all partisan politics driven. And by 45 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 2: the way it lines the pockets of all of the leaders, 46 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: the elitists and Sacramento, all of their political contacts, their cronies, 47 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: and so it's what's what's shocking to me, John, if anything, 48 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: is that it requires the federal government to come in 49 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 2: and to into California and investigate. We saw BILLI Sale 50 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: in the Central District with the Department of Justice. He's 51 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: the one that uncovered that individual who was stealing from 52 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: the homeless fund in California twenty four million dollars and 53 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 2: he brought charges against that individuals for stealing twenty four 54 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: million dollars from the pot of money that was set 55 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: aside by Newsom to solve the homeless problem. And it 56 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: would took a federal agent to do that, though. It 57 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 2: took the federal government. Where is our Attorney General Rob 58 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 2: Bonta in California. He's been in office for five years. 59 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: He was appointed in twenty twenty one. By Newsome. I 60 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: think he was appointed frankly to run cover to cover 61 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: for corruption, because that's all we're seeing in California right now, 62 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: past five years, a balloon of corruption. Whether it's like 63 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: you said, in the energy sector, but also we've seen 64 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: in the hospice and in home health care, homelessness. It's everywhere. 65 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 2: And now estimates are it's five hundred billion dollars of 66 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: lost harder and tax payer money in California. Over five 67 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars. That's half a trillion dollars. And that's 68 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: something along the line of like over twenty thousand dollars 69 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: per taxpayer. That's money just gone just magically disappeared. 70 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: But it didn't. 71 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: It went to the associations of Bonta in Newsom. They're 72 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 2: political connections. They know where the money went. That's why 73 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: they're not investigating. And now the federal government is coming 74 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: in and trying to investigate. It's an embarrassment. California is 75 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: an embarrassment to the nation. 76 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: I'm stunned. I mean, you have over thirty billion dollars 77 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: stolen for the unemployment funding during COVID, right you had 78 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: seventeen billion that's been stolen for high speed rail. You 79 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: got twenty four to thirty billions stolen for homelessness across 80 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: the state, and the hospice thing is just the latest, 81 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: and god knows how high that is. And Bonton never 82 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: announces any investigations into any of this. Every investigation is 83 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: about Trump. 84 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 2: Right, And what's worse we've seen lately, he's now going 85 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: into Riverside County trying to stop by court order. He's 86 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: rushing into court to stop an investigation into an election 87 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: integrity issue related to the Prop fifteen special election last year, 88 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 2: where there's a fifty almost fifty thousand vote discrepancy between 89 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,600 Speaker 2: the official numbers coming out of Riverside County and then 90 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 2: what the Secretary of State of California has on record 91 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 2: nearly fifty thousand. So the authorities there are trying to investigate, 92 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: what's this massive discrepancy in our elections in the special 93 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: election for Prop fifty. Bonta wants to stop the election 94 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: for the investigation. He literally wants to shut down the 95 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 2: investigation because he's not a truth seeker, he doesn't care 96 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: about justice, and he hates election integrity. So Rob Bonnta 97 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 2: has a lot of you know, the figurative blood on 98 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: his hands when it comes to corruption and the lawlessness 99 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: in California. And that's why so many people are, you know, 100 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: supporting my campaign. There's just been this outpouring of support. 101 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 2: I've raised half a million dollars just in the last 102 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 2: ten weeks since I launched my investigation in January. People 103 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 2: want a new attorney general because Rob Bnta is corrupt. 104 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: We've seen it as just like everything that you just said. 105 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: But then also election Integrity. Election Integrity is pulling over 106 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: eighty percent approval in California. Over eighty percent of California 107 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 2: is want to support the voter Idea initiative that's on 108 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 2: the ballot here in November. There's overwhelming support, and yet Bonta, 109 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: who's the top law enforcement officer in the state of California, 110 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: is going into court to stop an investigation because he 111 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: doesn't want the truth known about what's going on with 112 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: the discrepancy between the riverside and the Secretary of State 113 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 2: of California. All of this is shocking, absolutely shocking. 114 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: Along the climate lines, during the Obama administration, the EPA 115 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: got the right to declare that greenhouse gas emissions for 116 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: motor vehicles contribute to air pollution and climate change, and 117 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: Trump and the current EPA has reversed that statement, and 118 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: BONTA is joining twenty five other states insuing over it. 119 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: Because once they reversed the recognition that global warming is 120 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: caused by cars, among other things, then that that that 121 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 1: they gave it gave the federal government the power to 122 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: stop the electric vehicle mandate. 123 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: Right. 124 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: Uh so is this lawsuit that Bonton the other attorney 125 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: generals that it's filing. Do they do they have any 126 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: real legal standing here? Do they have any do they 127 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: have an argument? No? 128 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 2: And no, and and the fact of the matter is 129 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: when Trump reversed course, he highlighted the fact that there 130 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 2: was no empirical data, there was no legitimate, valid scientific 131 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: information to support Obama's position on the issue, and so 132 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: he called out the Obama administration on the EPA. He's 133 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: now fixing it, correcting course. So for California to lead 134 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: this charge in court trying to say that Trump's not 135 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: allowed to do this. Look, every time we turn around, 136 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: we see some far left extremists say the president's not 137 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: allowed to do what he wants to do. So, like, 138 00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: I guess, when it's a Republican president or when it's Trump, 139 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: they're supposed to have no power and no say in anything. 140 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 2: Trump's not doing this arbitrary and capriciously. He's literally saying, 141 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: we went back and analyzed what Obama did, and there 142 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 2: was no scientific evidence to support what Obama did. It 143 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: was just pure politics. We are going to clean up this, 144 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: clean this up. We're going to take the politics out 145 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: of it. We're going to let the science drive it. 146 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: And so our position's different. We're taking a different position. 147 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: So it's perfectly within the preview of the President of 148 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 2: United States to do what he's doing. And Bonta has 149 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: now filed over sixty lawsuits. He's taking a lot of 150 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 2: pride in that. Yet none of these lawsuits have produced 151 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 2: any fruit. He hasn't won any of them. He's out 152 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: there claiming some sort of victory, false victory, just for 153 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: filing them. But they're going to go nowhere. And basically 154 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: what he's doing is he's building his platform for his 155 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,440 Speaker 2: reelection campaign. He's going to run against Trump. It's going 156 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: to be Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. That's all you're going 157 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 2: to hear between now November and what I'm doing with 158 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 2: my campaign is I'm focused on everyday Californi onions and 159 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: the real issues affecting us, like the high crime rates, 160 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: the high homeless, the high taxes, the high income taxes, 161 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: gas taxes, gas prices. I mean, everybody loves California, but 162 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: nobody likes living here right now. A lot of people, 163 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: a lot of residents, every day, hardworking, tax paying citizens, 164 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 2: are fed up with our leadership and Sacramento. It's a 165 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 2: grind to live here. It's for many, it's insufferable. And 166 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: yet Bonta and Newsom are focused on Trump and so 167 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: there's just this massive disconnect. And that's why they're going 168 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: to lose in November, because they're completely out of touch 169 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: with every day Californians. I've spent my campaign now talking 170 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: about these issues. These are kitchen table issues that every 171 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 2: day Californians care about, and that's why I'm getting such 172 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: a ground swallow of support. 173 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: All Right, Michael, thanks for coming on, Thank. 174 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 2: You for having me. I appreciate it. 175 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: Mike, Michael Gates running for Attorney General against Rob Bond. 176 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM six. 177 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: Voting coming up after four point thirty. You know, I'm 178 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: the former Homeland Security secretary. She's got a husband who 179 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: likes to cross dress, and oh my god, the outfit. 180 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: Have you seen this? 181 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 4: I have? 182 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of this? No nobody in your 183 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: family ever did this. Imagine coming home and finding your 184 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: husband in this get up. We'll tell you about it. 185 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: We're just trying to tease you here. If you haven't 186 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: haven't seen the photos, well try to describe it. Boy, 187 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: what the hell's going on in her house? She shoots 188 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: the dog dead, the guy, the husband's running around dressed 189 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: like a woman. And she was running Homeland Security for 190 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: the last year, all right. In Pacific Palisades. Oh my god, 191 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: Karen Bass will not stop or her administration will not 192 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: stop torturing the people of the Palisades. Now, I have 193 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: mentioned that my wife and I go there several times 194 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: a week to hike in a canyon park that's on 195 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: the edge of the palace. Say, it's near the ocean, 196 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: and the roadways are in complete disrepair. The roads are sinking. 197 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: There are huge These aren't potholes, these are chasms, these 198 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: are canyons. These are going to be sinkholes. And obviously 199 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: there's construction trucks rumbling around and heavy equipment, and so 200 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: every day the roads get worse and worse and worse. 201 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: And what Karen Bass ought to be doing is reinforcing 202 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: the roads and paving them over because they are going 203 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: to implode. You'll see a construction truck just disappear into 204 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: the earth. On the streets. Also are these big storage containers. 205 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: I think one company is called Pods. You've probably seen 206 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: them and you can keep furniture in them. Were construction supplies, 207 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: and so they're dotted in the streets in front of 208 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 1: the burned out lots. Well, some jackass at the Bureau 209 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: of Street Services decided to give forty eight hours of 210 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: notice that they homeowners have to remove the storage containers 211 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: and placed them somewhere else. And people freaked out because 212 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of these storage containers and they're necessary, 213 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: and they're parked along the curb, and these are residents 214 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: who don't have a home right now, or their home 215 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: has to be renovated, rebuilt, maybe they're smoke damage. So 216 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: they got an online post saying they got forty eight 217 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: hours to move them. If not get this and this 218 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: is what made me crazy. The city of Los Angeles 219 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: will tow them, will toe them. Now you drive around 220 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: and you see all those busted up RVs with the 221 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: crack addicts and the meth addicts and the fentinyl addicts, 222 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: and they've got open flame fires and they are leaving 223 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: their fecal waste and urine all over the road. They'd 224 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: never get arrested. But the homeowners who paid huge amount 225 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: of taxes washed their homes because Karen Bass was in Africa, 226 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: because Geniez left the reservoir empty, because the fire department 227 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: was defunded by fifty percent, and whoever was left in management, 228 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: or a bunch of boobs that couldn't organize US boy 229 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: Scout parade. Now they're being told that their storage pods 230 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: are going to be towed away and they'd probably have 231 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: to pay, you know, five hundred dollars or more to 232 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: get them back. But if you have some disgusting, broken 233 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: down RV and you're some convicted sex and you might 234 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 1: have some girls that you smuggled in over the border, 235 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: that's okay. Bess apparently realized that this was a bad move. 236 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: She told Channel four that towing the storage containers and 237 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: charging families was not a directive from her office. And 238 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: she ordered the Bureau of Street Services to stop until 239 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: the issue is resolved. The issue is resolved, She's the 240 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: one who ought to be towed away. But maybe the 241 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: issue will get resolved in November. I couldn't believe that, 242 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: the insanity of what they do to the people in 243 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: the Palisades. I would love to put everybody at city Hall, 244 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: the whole city council, in one of these storage containers 245 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: and just tow them out to the desert, all right 246 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: when we come back out. Christy Nome, she's got a 247 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: husband who's been cross dressing, but not just putting on 248 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,239 Speaker 1: a dress. You got to see his choice of of underwear. 249 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: I didn't know these things existed. I must have lived 250 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: a very sheltered life too, and apparently I don't. I 251 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: don't have the kind of perversions that Christy Nome's husband has. No, no, no, no, no, no, 252 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: don't you even think about that? No, I am not 253 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: wearing that at the pastathon. No o, come on, no, no, 254 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have you towed away, No way, no stop 255 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: it it's for the kids. Can I try it on 256 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: the night before then? Sure? 257 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobbel's on Demand from KFI AM 258 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 3: six forty. 259 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: We are on from three to six. Now after six 260 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: o'clock tonight, you want to download the podcast John Cobel 261 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 1: Show on demand and listen to whatever you missed. Right now, 262 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: you can download yesterday's podcast if you missed that show 263 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: or any other one we did, but after six o'clock 264 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: you'll get today's. So please do that because you really 265 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: should listen to the whole thing. And it moves a 266 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: lot quicker in the podcast. I would say it, oh, 267 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: I say, because they take out Dever's Park. But yeah, yeah, yeah, 268 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'm just teasing you. Now, this is so funny. 269 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: Christy Nolm has always been a strange figure in public life. 270 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: She was the South Dakota governor and probably the hottest 271 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: looking governor that anybody's ever seen. But then along the 272 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: way she found out that when she gets mad at 273 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: her dog, she shoots it to death if the dog 274 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: doesn't listen. 275 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 4: It's not funny, Actually it's not. 276 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: Funny, but it was just so absurd. She shoots the 277 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: dog in a dick and her response was, well, that's 278 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: what she get for not listening. So I always thought, 279 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: what is it like to be married to this lady 280 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: right then she way overdid the plastic surgery on the face. 281 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: And because have you ever looked at pre Christy Nolans, 282 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: I have no plastic surgery. 283 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 4: I didn't even know she had plastic surgery. 284 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, pretty dramatic plastic surgery. So that's like 285 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: people who have that much plastic surgery. That's that's another 286 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: warning light. Okay, So she shoots her dog, she completely 287 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 1: redesigned her face, and then she has a husband that 288 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: she's been that they've dated since high school. I think 289 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 1: it's that far. And but he was never really in 290 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,479 Speaker 1: the public eye. She gets to Washington to be Director 291 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security, and you know about all those scandals. 292 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: They are spending two hundred million dollars on an ad 293 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,479 Speaker 1: campaign featuring primarily herself, and then all the chaos that 294 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: went on trying to enforce the law, and she got 295 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: blamed for everything. So Trump sent her to another agency 296 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: that nobody ever heard of. But when she was getting 297 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: grilled by Congress, she sitting right next to her was 298 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: Corey Lewandowski, who has worked in Trump's campaigns and administrations 299 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: for years, and the story was is that the two 300 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: of them are having an affair, and that everybody in 301 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 1: the administration knows this. Everybody in Washington, d C. 302 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 2: Knows. 303 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: It's an open secret. I mean the Lundwski has some 304 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: position and works with her, and now she went over 305 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: to this mystery agency and he followed her over too. 306 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: So they're together all the time, and it's just assumed 307 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: that they were romantic couple. The only day the husband 308 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 1: showed up was when she was getting grilled at a 309 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: hearing and they wanted to ask her about the rumors 310 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: that she was screwing around with Corey Lewandowski. 311 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 4: So you think she made him come there while she 312 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 4: would shoot him. 313 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yes, now that you put it that way, Yes, 314 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: there's the fifty said. Now they have I think three kids. 315 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: He supposed to supposedly a devout Christian, right, so the 316 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: cover story was, look, he married her, he loves her, 317 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: married for life, willing to go through difficult periods. Nobody 318 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: ever denied the affair that no one was having with Lundawski. Nobody, 319 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 1: And she didn't want to have to commit perjury in 320 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: front of this committee, so that's why she tried to 321 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: intimidate the legislators into not broaching it too deeply. They 322 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: did a little, but they didn't really push it because 323 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: the husband was sitting there, so it just made everybody uncomfortable, 324 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: all right. So she's reassigned and kind of disappears. And 325 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: then today in the Daily Mail they have pictures of 326 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: Christy Nolmes's husband her. I got to read the headline, 327 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: the New York Post headline shocking pictures of Christy Nomes's 328 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 1: cross dressing husband flaunting giant fake breasts, And if you 329 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: scroll down to the picture, it's like, yeah, that's that's 330 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: right on. Uh. He has this this pullover with these 331 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: things are. 332 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 4: Are huge and you can see. 333 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: They yes, I mean they're like watermelons, the size of watermelons. 334 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: And it's see through and there's there's fake nipples.

Well. The human rights activist 433 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: is named Cheryl Davis. She's the former executive director of 434 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 1: the city's Human Rights Commission. This came out of the 435 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: George Floyd Asteria and she was given a lot of 436 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: money for her agency.

Her boyfriend is the former head of a nonprofit. 445 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: She steered millions of dollars from something called the dream 446 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: Keeper Initiative. This was launched by the old mayor London Breed. 447 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 1: This was yeah, this was a George Floyd moment. It 448 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: was a one hundred and twenty million dollar program and 449 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollar program that Cheryl Davis 450 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: was in charge of. And she took millions of dollars 451 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: and gave it to her boyfriend's group called Collective Impact. 452 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: And so the two of them went on first class 453 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: fight flights, bought concert tickets, luxury events, pr firms to 454 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: promote her personal brand. They did a city audit and 455 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: found four and a half million dollars in questionable spending 456 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: under her watch. The reason for the Dreamkeeper initiative again 457 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars. It was marketed as 458 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: a bold response to systemic inequities. They took the money 459 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: from the police department towards black specific programs, and this 460 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: couple looted the program well Davis was running the Human 461 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: Rights Commission. This equity experiment turned into a scandal ridden mess, 462 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: and they have frozen the money canceled grants and they 463 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: made out with millions of dollars. So when we come back, 464 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to Richie Greenberg. Some of this 465 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: information is from his story, and he's a journalist and 466 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: a commentator up in San Francisco. But it is mind numbing. 467 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: Not a day goes by without a story of a 468 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 1: nonprofit and the executives who run it who have looted 469 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: millions of dollars from either Los Angeles, San Francisco, the county, 470 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: the state. I think it is stunning if we ever 471 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: find out exactly how much of this goes on. I mean, 472 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: Steve Hilton, who's running for governor, says it's hundreds of 473 00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: millions of dollars according to the investigation that his campaign 474 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:56,600 Speaker 1: is doing. And I mean, people are getting arrested and 475 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 1: they're going to be tried, but I think most of 476 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: them have not yet been tracked down. It is stunning. 477 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: You remember years ago when we found out Greece was bankrupt, 478 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: and we found out that, you know, most of the 479 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: government was for sale, that it was the most corrupt 480 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: country in all of Europe, and everybody's laughing at Greece. 481 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 1: I think we put Greece to shame. I think that 482 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: that is, that is that is single a ball. This 483 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 1: is the major leagues of corruption and graft, and we 484 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: have people doing it openly, and their families are doing 485 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: it openly, like you know, the Newsom family still even 486 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: right in front of us, right a Jennifer Newsomb in 487 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: her feminist nonprofits. I mean, that's that's open grift. All right, 488 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: we'll talk with Richie Greenberg and we come back about it. 489 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: Deborah Marcus live in the CAFI twenty four our newsroom. 490 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: You've been listening to The John Cobelt Show podcast.
