1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on the air every

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: day from one until four o'clock and if you miss

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: some are all the show. That's why we post the podcast,

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: John Cobelt's Show on demand on the iHeart app and

6
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: you can pick up whatever you missed. We are going

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: to get back to the immigration raids that have been

8
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: going on in downtown Los Angeles this morning and into

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: the afternoon, and Michael Monks is going to come on

10
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: from KFI News to describe what's been going on. We

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: just saw a few minutes ago that a crowd was

12
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: forming around the ICE agents who were trying to drive

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: down some downtown streets. They were in bearcats, dozens of

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: agents hanging off the bearcats vulnerable position, and all these

15
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: locals doing everything they could to get in the way.

16
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: I mean, one guy was on a scooter, one guy

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: got run over by an suv. They were throwing stuff

18
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: at the agents. Eventually the agents started flying firing flashbang devices.

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: Finally that scattered the crowd. For most of this, because

20
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: it looked like a riot was going to start most

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: of this, there was no sign of LAPD. This is

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: what you have in Karen Bass's Los Angeles. They leave,

23
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: literally leave the ice agents hanging hanging off, the bearcats,

24
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: exposed and vulnerable because the police wuldn't provide any protection.

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: Only when finally they got out of traffic and they

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: had some clear road to drive down, then we saw

27
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: four police cars show up, but they weren't even getting

28
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: an escort up to that point. It's really disgusting. Bass

29
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: is just so reprehensible.

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: Now.

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: The other thing going on today is these lunatic progressive

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: climate fanatic cultists, and they're on the Air Quality Management District.

33
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: It's the South Coast air Quality Management District that governs

34
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Orange County, La County, San Bordino, and Riverside, and they

35
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: are voting on this this new regulation which would eventually

36
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: make it impossible for you to have a gas furnace

37
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: or a gas water heater. You'd have to get an

38
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: electric furnace and an electric water heater at some point,

39
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: and it's going to cost you a lot of money,

40
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: and they're voting on it. This afternoon, we're going to

41
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: talk with John Fleischman is one of the few writers

42
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: out there in the media who've been publicizing this. He

43
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: has a flash report dot org. He's got a substack

44
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: as well. John, How are you again? Doing fine?

45
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: All things considered? And I'm happy to be back on

46
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: the show and I'm happy to give you guys an

47
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: update on what's going on.

48
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: So well, yeah, tell us, Well, there's been a couple

49
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things going on.

50
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: First and foremost, the item is actually being considered right

51
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: now that has a several hundred speakers all morning long,

52
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 2: lots of names from the Environmental Defense Fund and all

53
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: of these other nonprofits that probably all trace their money

54
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: back to George Soros. But maybe we ought to start

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: with well, you already articulated what's going on here. So

56
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: this South Post air Quality Management District that was created

57
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: by state law has the ability to pass all kinds

58
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: of taxes, draconian regulations, and the one that they've got

59
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 2: on the table right now, as you aptly put, over

60
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: a period of time, would add costs increasing year over

61
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: year over year, until ultimately their goal is to force

62
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: you in your home to have to put in new

63
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: electrical wiring and put in an electric water here, which

64
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: I mean that whole endeavor today is some eight to

65
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: nine to ten thousand dollars, Lord knows what it will

66
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: be years from now, and their estimate that if this

67
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: policy goes into effect, it could cost seven over seven

68
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: billion dollars from people that live in the greater Los

69
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: Angeles area. So it's really crazy. And all of it

70
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: is to reduce a diminimus amount of a particular chemical

71
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: in the air that I mean, it's it's there's literally

72
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: no prudence, there's no thought that is the sacrifice worth

73
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: it because the reality is, I mean, all the boats

74
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: going out, going in and out of Long Beach in

75
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: La Harbor produced more of this chemical than anything else.

76
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: So but the update really the two updates. The first

77
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: update is that yesterday the new United States Attorney for

78
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: the Southern District, Billy Aselli. You've talked about him on

79
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 2: the show because he's the only He's now going after

80
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: illegal immigration in La which is a new novelty. But

81
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: he sent a letter to the chairman of the AQ

82
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: and B Boy yesterday informing the Mamage a matter of fact,

83
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: i'll read it to you, deer Chair Delgado and governing

84
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: board members, the United States government is committed to the

85
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: removal of illegitimate impediments to the use of domestic energy resources,

86
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: including natural gas. And I'll skip through a bunch of

87
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: the legal stuff, and he says, to protect the interests

88
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: of the American people, the Attorney General has been directed

89
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: to take all appropriate action to stop enforcement of and

90
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: then it's these rules, and so he's made it very

91
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: clear that if they pass it today, his office is

92
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: prepared to take And now I'm reading again all steps

93
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: necessary to enforce federal law, including filing a civil action,

94
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: seeking any and all available relief, including injunctive relief, monetary damages,

95
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: and penalties. So the Trump administration has thrown down the

96
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: legal card, and I think it's having an impact. I

97
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: say that because I've been watching the meeting this morning

98
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: on my I'm watching it because no Almal people that

99
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: are listening to their show, to this show Patriots all

100
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: are not watching it. But I can tell you that

101
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: we went into the meeting. There's twelve people on this board,

102
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: one of whom there's actually thirteen, but Gavin Newsom's point

103
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: to his vacant and he hasn't filled it. So there

104
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: are twelve people, which means to stop a bad rule,

105
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: you need six. And we start with the four Republicans

106
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: out of twelve of them four two from San Bernardino

107
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: County and two from Orange County are Republicans. Now.

108
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: I talked about one of them last hour, Janet Win,

109
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: and she was.

110
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: Super talking to Supervisor Win. Just Supervisor Win just spoke

111
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: and talked about the inconvenient truth of the cost of

112
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: this and how nobody's prepared to do this. She was

113
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: a very forceful speaker against it. We expect her and

114
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: the other three Republicans are already voting no. And of

115
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: course Holly Mitchell, Supervisor Mitchell is speaking right now about

116
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: what a wonderful idea this is. You know which is?

117
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: You know which is a joke.

118
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: She's the one who allows the hundreds of r vs

119
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: to dump thousands of gallons of feces and human waste

120
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: onto the streets of her district, all the homeless people

121
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: that live in those RVs.

122
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: But here's some good news. Before she spoke, Brenda Almos,

123
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: who's from the Paramount City Council, who has always voted

124
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: lockstep with her fellow Democrats. We got to her. He

125
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: announced that she's voting no. And so now we have five.

126
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: That means if one more person votes known there's a

127
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: couple we're looking at, then we will have stopped it

128
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: at least today, and then Gavin Newsom could appoint that

129
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: other person. But this is about a one step at

130
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: a time. So it's if we were on the air

131
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: two hours from now, which maybe we could be, I

132
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: might have a definitive answer for you. I'll certainly let

133
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: you know so you can let your listeners know.

134
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: Okay, so if you find something out, call us immediately.

135
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: We'll put you right on.

136
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: I will. I will definitely let you know. They're talking

137
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: right now. But we're having a real impact. I was

138
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: told that since we talked about this on the program,

139
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: they've had thousands of more emails come in. And I

140
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: know that I've had, you know, of my substack, which

141
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: is so does it matter?

142
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: Dot com?

143
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: Soodoesitmatter?

144
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: Dot Com?

145
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: And I've had from your show, thousands of people come

146
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: in and I get notified every time they click the

147
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: button to send. So I know over a thousand emails

148
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: came in just through my site from being on your show,

149
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 2: and all of those emails matter, So you know, you know,

150
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: I encourage people to check it out, but we're going

151
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: to stay on it and As soon as there's an update,

152
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: I will call into the show and let you know.

153
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: You know, all these people, most of them are local politicians,

154
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: and they represent people who can't afford any of this nonsense.

155
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: This is what makes me crazy.

156
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: Well, I just watched the aforementioned prosor talk about how

157
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: we all represent individual cities or counties. But you know,

158
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 2: we have to look for the greater good of the region.

159
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: So shame on you, John that you don't have the

160
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: proper perspective about looking at for the greater good of

161
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: the region. So it's just the whole thing is just

162
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 2: absolutely nutty because these policies that they want to enact,

163
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: it's not wealthy people that can't afford a new electric

164
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: water heater ys. Those people are like, well it's inconvenient,

165
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 2: but okay, right, But it's the people she represents in

166
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: the parts of Los Angeles County that can least afford

167
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: extra expense at this particular time, and she is perfectly

168
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: comfortable saying, boom, your water here more expensive tomorrow, and

169
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: more and more expensive. It's the whole thing is just

170
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: completely nutty. The very very people who have the most

171
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: vested interest to oppose this policy are the ones that

172
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: are supporting in And it's because voters are asleep at

173
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: the switch and instead of electing somebody that cares about

174
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 2: their pocketbook, they're electing these upwardly mobile left wing lunatics

175
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: who's whose focus is on where are the environmental crazies?

176
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: And you know, you get you know, I always tell people, John,

177
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: and you you do too, You get who you vote for? Yes,

178
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: And I hope that people open up their their are

179
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: their eyes and the Holly Mitchell's of the world get

180
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: shown the door because they're just absolutely ridiculous what she's doing.

181
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: All Right, John Fleischman, thank you very much. So does

182
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: it matter? Is the substack? Right? So does itmatter? Dot Com?

183
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: You got it?

184
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: So does itmatter?

185
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: Dot Com?

186
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: Thanks you?

187
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: Straight there.

188
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk to you if something happens, you let

189
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: us know first thing. Okay, you got it, you John,

190
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: all right, and we come back. We'll tell you about

191
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: the the immigration raids going on in downtown Los Angeles.

192
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: And there's been immigration raids in southern California all this week,

193
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: enraging people who don't think laws ought to be enforced.

194
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: It's a peculiar time we're living in.

195
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A

196
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: M six forty.

197
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: Follow us at John co Belt Radio on social media

198
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: area go just too excited Today Ice agents. We're all

199
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: over southern California. They have been all over all week,

200
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: but they were in downtown La today. They were going

201
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: through the fashion district. And this is from the La Times.

202
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: By the way, all the coverage this week in the

203
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: La Times San Diego Union Tribune is all disapproving. It's

204
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: it's I'll give you an example. US Immigrations and Custom

205
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: Enforcement agents were carrying out a series of sweeps across

206
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 1: southern California on Friday morning, sparking fear and anxiety among

207
00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: immigrant communities. The context of the fear and anxiety is

208
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: they're breaking the law. You see, and if you were

209
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: in a country illegally and you heard that the president

210
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: wasn't putting up with it anymore because eighty percent of

211
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: the public wanted it to stop and they wanted deportations. Yeah,

212
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: feel fear and anxiety. Why didn't you obail the law

213
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: and get out on your own? Then you knew what

214
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: you were doing when you came here. You made this choice.

215
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: This is the life you wanted. So now we're enforcing

216
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: the law like every other country does. This was no surprise.

217
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: Trump has campaigned on this for ten freaking years. He

218
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: didn't do enough of this in his first term. But

219
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: now they're serious and it's really happening, and everybody's going,

220
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: oh my god. And the terribly misleading way it gets covered.

221
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: La Times story about this nine year old boy in Torrance.

222
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: Headline is Torrance boy, age nine, detained by Ice for

223
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: playing deportation to Honduras. Community is outraged. What do they

224
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: leave out of the headline. He is being grabbed and

225
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: deported by himself. He and his father are being deported together. Okay,

226
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: so you can't even use the Trump is splitting up

227
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: families argument here. No, the family's being deported together. Community

228
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: is outraged. Who cares, They're outraged because the law is

229
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: being enforced. These people need to go to a classroom

230
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: and learn how it works in a civilized country. Their laws,

231
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: and we pay law enforcement to enforce those laws. If

232
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: that's not too redundant. And then it says here they

233
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: were taken into custody in downtown Los Angeles and transferred

234
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: to Texas. Parents with Torrance Elementary's PTA sent out a

235
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: letter asking residents to reach out to elected officials to

236
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: drop support for the boy. Well, you've got to go

237
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: through several paragraphs here one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,

238
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: ten before they tell you the truth. The father, martyr

239
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: Garcia Benegas, arrived in the US on July tenth of

240
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one with his son, but an immigration judge

241
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: ordered the father and son to be deported back to

242
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: Honduras on September one, twenty twenty two. So they have

243
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: been here illegally for two and a half years after

244
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 1: they were ordered deported. So the headline is, isn't boy

245
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: and his dad who defied deportation order rounded up in Torrents. No,

246
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: that's not in the headline. That didn't make the first

247
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: nine paragraphs of the story because this is the LA times.

248
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: They went through due process, right, What were they crying

249
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: about with that? With that wife beater guy, Oh you

250
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: didn't get due process? Well they're bringing him back and

251
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: it turns out he helped smuggle thousands of illegal aliens

252
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: into this country, gang members many of them. So if

253
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: you do the due process, they ignore it. If you

254
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: don't do the due process, the LA Times and these

255
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: other media outlets make a big stink. You want to

256
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: change the law, go change the law. But the law

257
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: says if you're found here illegally, you go to a judge.

258
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: Judge says you're deported. That means you have to go.

259
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: So they get ordered deported September one, twenty twenty two.

260
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: The dad, martyr Garcia Benegas appeals the decision to the

261
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: Board of Immigration Appeals August eleventh, twenty twenty three, so

262
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: he got almost an extra year here on appeal. The

263
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: appeal was dismissed. A judge set again, you gotta get out,

264
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: and again the dad and this nine year old boy

265
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: didn't leave the country even though he was ordered by

266
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: the immigration judge. Oh Jae. That's in paragraph eleven of

267
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: the La Times. Paragraph eleven, you find out they have

268
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: been ordered deported twice. Well, then they were upset. The

269
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: Times writers, who is this I don't even know, got

270
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: to print out without their names. Heavily armed Ice and

271
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: Homeland Security investigated. Heavily armed Ice and Homeland Security agents

272
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: executed search warrants at two restaurants in a San Diego neighborhood,

273
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: and I guess looking for the father and the reason

274
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: they're heavily armed. You saw go watch the video tonight

275
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: on the news where there were dozens and dozens of

276
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: people interfering with the ice raid, throwing things at the

277
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: ICE officers, hanging off the bearcats as they were rolling

278
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: down the downtown streets. They were getting in the way

279
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: of the bearcats with scooters and bicycles. They were shouting

280
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: and jeering, throwing things. That's why they're heavily armed because

281
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: whatever's living in that neighborhood, whether it's Americans or other

282
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: illegal aliens, they're all acting like a bunch of animals,

283
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: and they're not letting WA enforcement do what we pay

284
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,719
Speaker 1: them to do, what the law says. Again, if you

285
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: don't like it, there are about two hundred other countries.

286
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: Why don't you go there illegally and see what happens.

287
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 1: I have a suggestion in countries try China and Russia.

288
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 1: Why don't you go there illegally, see what the reception is.

289
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: See if they give you years and years? Well, in fact,

290
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: why don't you violate a deportation order twice in Russia

291
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: and then you can send us a postcard from the

292
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: prison in Siberia. I've realized the education system has completely collapsed.

293
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: You have the progressive mind virus has taken over so

294
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: much of the country. People can't recognize the basics that

295
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: we used to know when we were three years old.

296
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: There's a set of laws and then we pay law

297
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: enforcement in the government to enforce them, and you have

298
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: to obey and respect the laws and the enforcement. That's

299
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: the way it always worked back in more rational times.

300
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: But now we got like whole generations who's never seen

301
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: the law enforced before. Right. They see people stealing almost

302
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,719
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars from the local target or cvs. They

303
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: see people openly selling drugs and guns on the street,

304
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: people living in tents, and they think, well, you know

305
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't it's out of Friday, your Saturday night. You

306
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: have these road races going on. Nothing's enforced. So when

307
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: you see enforcement, it's like, what's that That's wrong. I'm outraged.

308
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: He's six years old. I'm outraged. All right. We got

309
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: more on this coming up with Michael Monks from KFI News.

310
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am sixty.

311
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: Round from one until four and then after four clock.

312
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app. By

313
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: the way, I just wanted to mention that the two

314
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: writers for the La Times who took eleven paragraphs to

315
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: admit that the Torrens point his dad, who were getting deported,

316
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Nathan Solis and Ruben Vivez, took them eleven paragraphs to

317
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: mention that they had been officially deported by a judge

318
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: twice and they were still here. And that's why Ice

319
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: took them away this week and tore it so Nathan

320
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: Solis and Ruben Vivez, instead of putting that in the

321
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: first paragraph, they put it in the eleventh paragraph. All right,

322
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: now on to a real reporter, Michael Monks caf I News.

323
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: And he never buries the lead. He never buries the

324
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: main point of the story. And actually, you have a

325
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: lot to cover because just all kinds of nutty stuff

326
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: is happening. Let's start first. Topic number one is the

327
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: immigration raids in downtown LA with Ice. I watched some

328
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: of the coverage on TV.

329
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: The scenes unfolding were pretty dramatic, and we can see

330
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: that the federal Immigration enforcement officials are really not messing around.

331
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 4: They're not afraid of Los Angeles. They are going to

332
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 4: come in and do the work that they feel that

333
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 4: they are empowered to do that the Trump administration wants

334
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: to see happen. It started early this morning. The first

335
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 4: thing we heard about was at the Home Depot store

336
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: on Wilshire in Westlake that.

337
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: Some guys had been picked up. Now, I'm in that

338
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: area a lot.

339
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: There's a pandem Express there that I frequent every week,

340
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 4: and you do see guys kind of hanging out in

341
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 4: the parking lot, probably looking for day laborer work. And

342
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 4: so this was the first site that was hit this morning. Okay,

343
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 4: so we get some reports about that, we put it

344
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 4: in the news. But then a bigger scene unfolded down

345
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 4: the road in the Fashion district in Los Angeles outside

346
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: of a clothing store called Ambiance. They make or sell

347
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 4: clothes inside this building, and that's what the scene got

348
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 4: a little hairy because protesters showed up. They were blocking

349
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 4: Ice enforcement agents either from leaving or getting into the

350
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: building at one point. And then you saw some military

351
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 4: tactical guys showing up in some very serious equipment. So

352
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: this scene started to escalate pretty quickly with some folks

353
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 4: who were antagonizing the federal officials.

354
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: We did see it.

355
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 4: About two dozen different guys brought out and detained in

356
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 4: that particular raid. And we also have reports now that

357
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: a warehouse connected to that same company in South LA

358
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 4: has been visited by federal officials as well.

359
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: Yes, this for that particular raid.

360
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 4: We've been told that there were search warrants for illegal

361
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 4: immigration and people who are harboring illegal immigrants.

362
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: And they're driving around these bearcats, yeah, with like a

363
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: dozen ICE agents hanging off the side, and they're dressed

364
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: in full camouflage. It looked like they have very serious

365
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 1: weapons they're holding. I'm not a gun guy, so I

366
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: don't know how to identify them.

367
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: But you saw some protesters on scooters and I don't

368
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 4: think the scooter's going to hold up to some of

369
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 4: the equipment that we saw rolling into the fashion district.

370
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 4: In fact, the tactics used by the federal officials today

371
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 4: did not go unnoticed by city councilmen. Unices Hernandez and

372
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 4: if we can, I've got something from today's city council

373
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 4: meeting that she said today she's a gym at least.

374
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 5: A sanctuary city, and we've made it clear that we

375
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 5: will not cooperate and use our resources for ice in

376
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 5: federal immigration enforcement. But that doesn't stop them from showing up.

377
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 5: And now we're seeing their tactics quickly escalate. They're swooping

378
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: and fast without warning and leaving justice quickly. They don't

379
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 5: hang around because they know we mobilize, Our resistance is working,

380
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 5: and that's exactly why they have elevated their approach and

381
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 5: changing their approach colleagues. Angelino's I'm asking you to get ready.

382
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 4: So if I get ready, she means she's got websites,

383
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 4: You've got different forms to know your rights and to

384
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 4: know what to do, and to let other people know

385
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 4: what's happening when it's happening.

386
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: That's how they're able to get protests. She doesn't want

387
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: American law to be enforced. Like, what who does she represent?

388
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: Did she represent American citizens?

389
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 2: Here?

390
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: Is she in an American city?

391
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 4: All council members voted in favor of that sanctuary city status,

392
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: all of them, And that is to suggest that they

393
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 4: don't want any city resources being used in these these

394
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 4: federal immigration raids. Even the LAPD came out today and

395
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 4: said we're not involved in this. You know they did

396
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 4: and they weren't. They don't provide any protection that's right.

397
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: So if ICE agents get killed, the LAPD has no interest.

398
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 4: Now that that would be different because that would then

399
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 4: be a crime. But they they won't help, will not

400
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 4: assist in the enforcement efforts unless there is some sort

401
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 4: of court order.

402
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: How about some an escort just to intimidate the protesters

403
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 1: because eventually somebody is going to take a shot at

404
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: It was.

405
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 4: An interesting scene as you saw the federal officials back

406
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 4: out of the Fashion district very slowly in those massive

407
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 4: pieces of military equipment bear cats, Yeah, exactly, and then

408
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: the then you saw some LAPD cruisers pull in, I

409
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 4: guess to help disperse the remainder of that scene.

410
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: That's just just just outrageous that the LAPD is not

411
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: helping protect the ICE, as it's been their policy since

412
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: late seventies. Yeah. Well, on a change, we never had

413
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: a legal immigration issues like we do now, and we

414
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: never had a president actually follow through on his deportation promises.

415
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 2: Uh.

416
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: Second thing, God, I don't know where to go. Well,

417
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: we were at the City City of All today and

418
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: then Pride Month and they had a drag show city council. Right, Yes,

419
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: with all that's going going on here, you got a

420
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: near riot happening downtown LA last night. Looked the palisades

421
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: and still burned down.

422
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 4: We've talked before about this council's inability to read the room,

423
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 4: you know, and and engauge the optics of some of

424
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 4: the drag show they did. Now it is Pride month

425
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 4: and and LA also celebrates that, and they raise a

426
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 4: flag outside the city building.

427
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: You know, they're going to govern the city. If they

428
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: want to have a drag party at night, all the

429
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: council people can enjoy themselves however they want. But a

430
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: drag show in the middle of the business day.

431
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, if Eric has it, I've got a little treat

432
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 4: for you, John. This was inside the chambership at City

433
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 4: Hall today.

434
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 5: Do honor to stand before you, not just as a

435
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 5: council member, but as the only openly queer member of councils.

436
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: This is Isabel Herado, the only.

437
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 5: Openly so many jokes that you can put, it's an

438
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 5: honor to serve on his body.

439
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 4: So she is, she identifies as the only openly queer

440
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 4: member of city council.

441
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: And you know she invited ignorant. I'm trying. It's hard.

442
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I gotta tell you that people

443
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: used to be gay, and now queer is something else.

444
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 4: It's been how do you say, reclaimed, I see by

445
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 4: folks who prefer to use that term. But it's also

446
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 4: all encompassing, so that might not even mean, for example,

447
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: that she's what we might have referred to in the

448
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 4: past as a lesbian.

449
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: It means a lot of things that's supposed to be

450
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: left open to my imagination.

451
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 4: I don't I would not encourage you to explore that

452
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 4: imagination too.

453
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: Deeply, but yes, it could be.

454
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 4: It's it's it's quite quite elaborate, and I do have.

455
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: It's probably a good idea.

456
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do have just one last snack for you

457
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 4: here on this Friday. And this was a SoundBite that

458
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 4: really I guess I'm I'm violating my own integrity here

459
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 4: because this really isn't the news part of this story.

460
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: This was just for you. This is not the news

461
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: of the now.

462
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 4: So, like you know, a big, big deal this La

463
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 4: Metro station opening up at Lax. This is a significant

464
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 4: connector for folks. You no longer have to have a

465
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 4: car to get to Lax. They've got this thing open.

466
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 4: We've got that in the news today. I'll have that

467
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 4: for you guys, but this is three of your favorite people,

468
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 4: all mentioned in one sort of fell swoop, So I

469
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 4: thought we got to get this to Cole Belt, okay,

470
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 4: And I do have.

471
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 6: To say this is a very very special moment for me.

472
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 6: One welcoming our former Mayor GARCETI back to Los Angeles

473
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 6: first time. I saying, stand up, Mayor Garcetti, so we

474
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 6: can congratulate you and welcome haiate you, and I wanted

475
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 6: to congratulate you also because you led the efforts with

476
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 6: Measure M that was dedicated to this iconic station. I

477
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 6: did hear a little story about how it was going

478
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,719
Speaker 6: to be a lot different, and then you came in

479
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 6: and said, no, no, no, it has to be an

480
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 6: iconic destination. And then's former Mayor Antonio via Ragosa, you stand,

481
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 6: we need to acknowledge you. So for me, it's a

482
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 6: special moment because I think this is a beautiful example

483
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 6: of passing the baton. The baton that started with Mayor

484
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 6: via Ragosa, who passed it to Mayor Garcetti, who passed

485
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 6: it to me. And I have the wonderful honor of

486
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 6: being involved in the implementation and carrying through your great work.

487
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: So thank you.

488
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 6: Thank you very much for your leadership.

489
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: Of this city.

490
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: There you go, that's the last twenty years of government.

491
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: That's your that's twenty years of your show. Let's go

492
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: back in time to Los Angeles two thousand and five

493
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: as that baton was being passed. Oh you've been here, yes,

494
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: and I've watched the place just literally go up in

495
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: flames and straight to hell. Well that's all I got

496
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: for you, Joseph. That is way too much. That was

497
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: a good snack. I felt like blood pressure rising. Maybe

498
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: you go back to your imagination at city Hall. I

499
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: think I'd rather do that. My head was about to

500
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: pop off there, all right, Michael Monks. KFI News always

501
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: a pleasure and also KFI Entertainment.

502
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am

503
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: six forty.

504
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: Coming up after three o'clock. A particularly disgusting day in

505
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: court in New York with the p Diddy trial and

506
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: one of his ex girlfriends, Jane, describing what she went through.

507
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna have Laura Engel from News Nation coming on.

508
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: You know, sex trafficking charges, racketeering, conspiracy, transportation to engage

509
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: in prostitution. He could get life in prison. It centers

510
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: around the Freak Offs where he had all his friends

511
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: and acquaintances come over and these elaborate sex rituals and

512
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the girls were forced into it, so

513
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: the prosecution says, and his ex girlfriend claims she suffered

514
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: from constant pain and urinary tract infections because the the

515
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: Freak Offs.

516
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: That was.

517
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: That was the headline. And anyway, Lori Engle is gonna

518
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: come out at three o'clock to explain this because you

519
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: know eventually there's going to be a big, big verdict

520
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: there and oh that'll be quite a sensation. Now we

521
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: are still recovering here. If you heard that clip that

522
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: Michael Monks played, we had Karen Bass, who's apparently oblivious

523
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: to all the carnage in Los Angeles. She was holding

524
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: a celebratory event today because they're opening up a metro

525
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: station near lax which is supposed to be pivotal. It's

526
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: not worth explaining because who cares. I'm not getting on

527
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: a train to the airport no matter what, So I

528
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: don't care what they've built there and how much they spent.

529
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: But she actually introduced Garcetti and via Gosa, and I'm thinking,

530
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: my god, that's the last twenty years of our life

531
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, Viara, Gosa, Garcetti and Bass and everybody's

532
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: cheering and screaming and basses all wound up. It's like,

533
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: what's wrong with you? The palisade is still gone? And

534
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: these are the mayors who defunded the fire department half

535
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: a fire department. Big reason why so much of the

536
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: palisades burned is we had very little of a fire

537
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: department and very little preparation. And now it's June and

538
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: she's standing and cheering and carrying on, and she's got

539
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: that bozo Garcetti who unleashed the plague of homeless people

540
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: on the city. They should not be allowed in public,

541
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: They should not be allowed in the country. I wish

542
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: Trump's ice soldiers had raided this event. Wouldn't you like

543
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: to see all three of them loaded in the back

544
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: of a bear cat and taken to a taken to

545
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: a transfer facility in Texas? Is there any way we

546
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: could have Bass, Verra, Goosa and Garcetti, especially Garcetti had

547
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 1: wanted to depart twice. They the illegal aliens deported today

548
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: didn't do a tiny fraction of the damage to La

549
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: that these three stooges dead, these three clowns. How did

550
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: gar Citi get rehabilitated? They let him back in the country.

551
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: He was in India. He was prancing around and dancing,

552
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: waving his arms in the air like this silly, stupid fool.

553
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: Last I saw him, that is the last I saw him,

554
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: and that was last November. So what's he doing now?

555
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: Has he has any idea how he fed up this

556
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: city and then bast doubled down on it and now

557
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 1: they're celebrating that they're oping up a train station. But oh,

558
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: I was actually well, we were playing that clip Michael

559
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: was sitting in here. I felt like a surge of anger.

560
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: I felt my head started to hurt. I felt my

561
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: neck muscles tightened. I felt my face swell as my

562
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: blood pressure went up.

563
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 7: I think you need to get all three in here

564
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 7: and have a round table discussion.

565
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: A round table discussion. Well, actually have kind of a

566
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: round table and we do. Yeah, it's like two thirds

567
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: of a round table. Oh God, and nobody there's gonna

568
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: be all sorts of coverage tonight on the news. Nobody

569
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: is going to do a news story. How nearly everybody

570
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: in the Palace ades still can't get a permit process

571
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: so they can rebuild their house. Nobody's explained what caused

572
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: the fire, has that right? Nobody explained that.

573
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 7: No, No, it's still possibility of the fireworks.

574
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, still under investigation. That's all forgotten.

575
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, the fires are forgotten.

576
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: They are. And Bass has totally botched up the homeless situation.

577
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: There's a big surprise, and she just got a break

578
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 1: and that she doesn't have to testify in the lawsuit

579
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: against her over botching up and wasting the money in

580
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: that civil trial about homelessness, so she doesn't have to

581
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: answer to that. She's blocked an audit of Inside Safe.

582
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 1: That Inside Safe things total phony, blowny nonsense, made up numbers.

583
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: Oh my, which view of Grosa audio the DNC one,

584
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh yeah, all right, but he gave us

585
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: a little shout out, yeah play via Gosa.

586
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 3: Our old friends, mild friend Antonio via Ragosa.

587
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: And Johnny Ken's old friends. Of course. Yes, I like

588
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: I told you just now. They need to write you

589
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: a check for all you've done for them. Tell to

590
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: write a check to my governor's race.

591
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 3: You know what, I bet they will, just so that

592
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 3: they have fodder for well Ken's gone now, but just

593
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 3: so John has fodder for another four years.

594
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: Another When was that clip? I never heard that. That

595
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: was the DNC.

596
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, now during the Gary and Janis you remember I

597
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 7: said off the air last year?

598
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: Yes, oh I yes, I didn't realize that was that

599
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: was last year. I was thinking of another convention. Oh no, kidding.

600
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: Oh so he brought us up last year. Yeah.

601
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 7: Oh well, now he wants to be friends, so you

602
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 7: could probably get him on the show because he's running

603
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 7: for government.

604
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: I just said I wanted him deported, so he probably

605
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: didn't hear I do want him on the show. Well, now, okay,

606
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 1: all right, because all right, this is terrible, but I

607
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: mean if it if it ends up like because I

608
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: don't know if any of the Republicans are going to

609
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: get into the top two. Right, there's Chad Bianco running

610
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: the sheriff, and there's also Steve Hilton, the Fox commentator,

611
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: and and that's it and not big ray name recognition

612
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: yet for these guys. So you can get too top

613
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: top two Democrats in the primary. What if it's Viaa

614
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: Gosa and Kamala Harris, have them both on together. Viasa

615
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: is a genius compared to Kamala Harris, have them debate

616
00:35:55,440 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: one another. Yeah, you'll be the moderator, like you don

617
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: might come to that. All right, wait a nightmare. Laura

618
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: Ingle's coming up next because she's gonna have all the

619
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,600
