I just said when 173 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: I was asked what would politicians be subjects to prosecutor? 174 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: I said, they don't different anybody else. Well, I just 175 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: said about cross the line and committed crime, that means everybody, 176 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: even politicians. I mean, no one's above the law. Right, 177 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: So I made that statement, and God and just wants 178 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: to take out a contest, take out of context. But 179 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: if he crosses that line and commits a crime, will 180 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: as a Journey General to prosecute like we would anybody else. 181 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: No one's above the law in this country. 182 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: What's the role of LAPD. Obviously they were heavily involved 183 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 2: last night trying to fight off the rioters and the protesters. 184 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: Is there any coordination when it comes to safety issues 185 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 2: between your agencies and LAPD. 186 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, we got different roles LAPD. They did a fantastic 187 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: job last night. Their job is on public safety and 188 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: respond to chaos and unlawful gatherings like the r was 189 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: last night, and were responsible for enforcing immigration law or 190 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: a national guide to protect property and protect your officers 191 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: in public public safety. But when it comes to you know, 192 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: law enforcement within the city limits and the protesters will 193 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: become criminals by you know, burning cars and assaulting and 194 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: damaging property. Uh l A p D. That's your role. 195 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad they're out there. 196 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 2: Do you think there's organizations financing the resistance? They've been 197 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: preparing for this for a long time. Uh, And because 198 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: I mean there are people showing up with backpacks full 199 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: of concrete and rocks to throw off the one on 200 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: one overpasses down at L A p D cars down 201 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: below and throwing them at the officers. It seemed like 202 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 2: there was a fair amount of premeditation and they were 203 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: ready for the battle yesterday. 204 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: I think there is and that's being investigated right now generally, 205 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: and when we have our leadership meeting every day ATDIS 206 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 1: I got the lead on identifying along with IRS, identifying 207 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: on who's who's uh, who's funding it? Because anybody, I 208 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: believe we're going to find some people who's funding it, 209 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: who's and and they'll be held accountable too. So that's 210 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: under investigation as received. 211 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: So for people who are worried about their their nannies, 212 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: their their gardeners, their housekeepers, that somehow ICE is coming 213 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 2: to the door and people are going to be dragged 214 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: out of suburban homes. That's not part of the plan. 215 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: I've said from day one. If you're in the country legally, 216 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: you're not off the table. They're not a priority right now. 217 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: But it's not okay to be in this country illegally. 218 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: It's not okade across the border illegally is a crime. 219 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: So if you're in the country illegally, go to the 220 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: CBP home app, make put your arrangements in order to 221 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: work with ICE when we get your home.

They have arrested, 310 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: from what I've seen, at least one hundred and fifty people, 311 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 2: and that's a total number of arrests. I don't know 312 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: how many of those for immigration, how many of those 313 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 2: for rioting there. Okay, I got to say this because 314 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 2: I only have a couple of minutes, and I want 315 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: to dig back into the meat of what Holman was 316 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: talking about. After Debor's News, but Homan had had some time, 317 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 2: so we were able to do an extra long segment. 318 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: I found the news coverage, and I'm going to try 319 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: to be kind here, the TV coverage over the weekend 320 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 2: to be atrocious, absolutely positively atrocious. Two of the big 321 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: stories was two of the triggers a fashion district that 322 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 2: caused a big uproar in downtown LA. And didn't know 323 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: until this morning that the reason for that is it 324 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 2: was an ICE investigation. There was an eighty million dollar 325 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: business fraud that had been going on, they say at 326 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: this particular fashion where fashion factory, and there was millions 327 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 2: of dollars in taxes that had been unpaid. And that's 328 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 2: why ICE showed up in the process. Many of the 329 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 2: employees are illegal, and everybody should know that if ICE 330 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 2: shows up, even if they don't intend to. Even the 331 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: intention of the raid was not to go after employees, 332 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: but was to go after the business owners. If the 333 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 2: employees you're there, their obligation is to round them up 334 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 2: and take them. That's what the law is. And as 335 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 2: Homan said at the end, if you don't like that, 336 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 2: then have the law changed. And we have not lived 337 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 2: in an area where the law has been enforced. I 338 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 2: don't know what is it. Probably about twenty years here 339 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. In the last twenty years, you haven't 340 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: seen laws enforced publicly, have you. Certainly in the last 341 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 2: ten years since Garcetti took over, laws were never enforced. 342 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 2: People could steal at will from stars, people could vandalize 343 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 2: at will, bust into private homes, squat in private homes, 344 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: live out on the streets, take drugs in the streets. 345 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: We saw during the George Floyd episode you could riot 346 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 2: in the streets and you'd have the police chief and 347 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: the Neil in front of the rioters. They actually, I 348 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 2: you know, grew up in Catholic school. You genuflect in 349 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: Catholic school. In church, it's indicating that you feel subservient 350 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 2: and obedient to God. So that's what hit me when 351 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: I saw Garcetti and Michael Moore genuflect Neil. They were 352 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: subservient to these BLM protesters who were breaking the law. 353 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 2: So much law breaking has gone on in plain sight 354 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: that when somebody tries to enforce the law, people have 355 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: heart attacks. They can't believe. It's like, what is this. 356 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 2: Almost everything done this weekend was simply enforcing law that's 357 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 2: been on the books for decades and decades. We'll talk 358 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: more about it. 359 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM 360 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: six forty. 361 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 2: John Cobelt's Show on demand after four o'clock. That's the 362 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: podcast versions, so you can hear what you missed and 363 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: if you're just joining us, what you missed is we 364 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 2: had about a twenty minute interview with Tom Holman, the 365 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 2: who's in charge of immigration enforcement for the Trump administration, 366 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 2: and we talked with him in the first half hour. 367 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 2: You could hear it. It's the first segment on the 368 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: podcast being posted after four o'clock. Now, follow up on 369 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: what we were discussing right before Debra's news. What is 370 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: embedded in everyone's psyche here in Los Angeles, especially over 371 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: the last twenty years, is laws are not enforced. And 372 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 2: let's quickly go through the list, and I'm right on 373 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 2: all of these, and you know this, laws against theft 374 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: not enforced. We all thought with our own own eyes, 375 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 2: people stealing things at the CBS, at the seven eleven, 376 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: at Target, any store that sold items that you could 377 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 2: carry in your arms or you could whisk them all 378 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 2: away in a shopping cart as long as under one 379 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 2: thousand dollars in total value, you couldn't be charged. And 380 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 2: you could do that every day, and some guys did. 381 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 2: And everybody has seen that. Okay, so clearly laws not 382 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: enforced in that case. What else not enforced? Can't sleep 383 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: on the streets, can't sleep in the park, can't live 384 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 2: in a public place? They did for ten years, people 385 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: are still doing it. Laws not enforced. People not only 386 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 2: using drugs in public, but selling drugs in public, selling 387 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: guns out of tents in front of schools. Unheard of 388 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: things when we were growing up, commonplace in Los Angeles, 389 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: specifically in Nythia Rahman's district, and she didn't care. All 390 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 2: kinds of stuff not enforced. How many times have we 391 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: had protests, not just over immigration, but any kind of 392 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 2: cockamami issue. They get to shut down the one on one, 393 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: They get to shut down major boulevards in downtown in LA. 394 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: They get to do whatever they want want. LAPD does nothing. 395 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 2: You have a freedom of speech, a freedom to assemble, 396 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 2: but only within certain parameters. You're supposed to get a permit. 397 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: The city will say, okay, you could protest here at 398 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: this time, but you can't block rush hour traffic. That's 399 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: against the law. Well, it's not enforced. Just like theft 400 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: wasn't enforced, just like public drug use wasn't enforced. Just 401 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 2: like people were smashing grab robberies for a couple of 402 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 2: years that wasn't enforced. You have squatters inhabiting private homes 403 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 2: that wasn't enforced. Nothing was enforced. Instead, what they were 404 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: doing was letting out thousands and thousands of criminals from 405 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 2: the prisons in jails, not prosecuting thousands. Kevin Newsom, they 406 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: finally calculated the crime rate in California went up thirty 407 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: one percent believes governor still is governor thirty one percent. 408 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 2: So when you have an entire generation raised on the 409 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: idea that laws aren't enforced, not a big shock that 410 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 2: you see a lot of young people in the streets 411 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: now they can't believe that Tom Homan and Trump is 412 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: directing Ice and Homeland Security and the National Guard and 413 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 2: maybe the Marines to enforce the law. And the best 414 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 2: thing Homan said is change the law if you don't 415 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: like it. It's in black and white. It was passed 416 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 2: by Congress, powers were given to the president. All that 417 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 2: you're seeing has been done for decades, but because specifically 418 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 2: the last four years Biden and those progressives intentionally let 419 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 2: the border fly open, and the place went to hell, 420 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 2: especially here in California. Well, when you don't see laws enforced, 421 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: you forget what it even looks like, and it offends everybody. 422 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 2: People upset. It seems like after getting their asses whipped 423 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 2: bloody in the election, all the progressives still hadn't figured 424 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: it out. I saw two polls over the weekend, but 425 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: big majorities for Trump on this. Yeah, they want people deported. Yes, 426 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 2: in fact, there's a fair number of people who want 427 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: everybody to ported, or they're neutral on it. He's not 428 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 2: gonna suffer any political blowback from this. If anything, Trump 429 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: is going to get more popular because who's his competitor here, 430 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: the silly, foolish Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom created this situation. 431 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: He gives free healthcare to all the people you see 432 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 2: protesting in the streets, waving Mexican flags, walking around with 433 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: backpacks filled with concrete, going to the one on one 434 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 2: overpass and dropping the concrete and rocks on the police 435 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 2: cars down below on LAPD cars. I saw it with 436 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 2: my own eyes last night, and then I hear. I 437 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 2: saw in the New York Times this morning, mostly peaceful 438 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: protests in Los Angeles. They actually wrote that line, don't 439 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 2: they know that's a joke line, That's a gagline. Not 440 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,199 Speaker 2: mostly peaceful. I saw five waymos on fire with my 441 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 2: own eyes watching on TV. By the way, that didn't 442 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: bother me. I hate waymos. 443 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you wouldn't. You wouldn't you wouldn't want to 444 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 4: be in one No on fire. 445 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 2: Well that's the beauty offul weymo. Nobody's in there now 446 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 2: did the did the protesters actually summon a weemo to 447 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 2: come pick an imaginary person up? 448 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 4: No idea? Or they were just I think they were 449 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 4: just they were doing their jobs. They were just sitting downtown. 450 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 4: They're not in downtown LA today. 451 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 2: No, no, no has's gone home. Yeah, that's bad night 452 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 2: for old Weamo. Those things burn forever. Yeah, the electric cars, 453 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: that's not good for the answer. 454 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 4: Letting them burn out, they're going to be sniffing. 455 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 2: That was just a minor, little minor, a little bit 456 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 2: of entertainment for me, that's all to see the way 457 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: Mow's on fire. They bug that, let me, but it 458 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 2: was still wrong. I want to make thinking okay, still 459 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: against the law. Okay, but I laughed at the same time. Anyway, 460 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 2: Newsom has created the situation. He's given twelve billion dollars 461 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: in the last year to illegal alien healthcare. That's why 462 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 2: we've attracted so many. You have a idiot, idiot, idiot 463 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: of a governor who gives away twelve billion dollars of 464 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: my tax money, your tax money, everybody's tax money for 465 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 2: illegal aliens. So we end up with a million, two million, 466 00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 2: who the hell knows? And then when Trump and Homan 467 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 2: come in and say, well, some of you people are 468 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 2: going to go now, all hell breaks loose. Hey, I 469 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 2: give up these benefits. They got a good deal. You know, 470 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,199 Speaker 2: how many healthcare for the rest of your life. You 471 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: start having family members and you bring them more of 472 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 2: them over here, and they all get healthcare for the 473 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 2: rest of their life. He bashed too. Bass has enforced 474 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 2: no laws nothing. In fact, much of the law breaking 475 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 2: in this city. Bass enables. How many billions were stolen 476 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 2: by her Inside Safe program and all the other homeless programs. 477 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 2: How many billions of dollars did new them and his 478 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 2: crony steel twenty four billion dollars? How about seventeen billion 479 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 2: that Newsom in high speed rail. That's death too. How 480 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 2: about the fifty billion that Newsom and the cyber fraudsters 481 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 2: stole from the Unemployment Agency. I mean, there's probably one 482 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 2: hundred billion dollars stolen collectively, just in all the categories 483 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 2: I just mentioned. They engage in massive theft every day. 484 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 2: Bass and Newsome. Then they create policies where we give 485 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 2: away tens of billions to illegal alience. So of course 486 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: they're outraged when Trump and Home Income and enforce the law. 487 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Newson, this is great. You go run for president. 488 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 2: Let this be number one on your agenda. Let's get 489 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: rid of the border, and let's get rid of all 490 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: immigration enforcement. Let's abolish ice. Why don't you run on that. 491 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 2: Trump and Homan are going to win. You could file 492 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: all the lawsuits you want. They're going to win and 493 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 2: their right and a majority of the publics behind them. 494 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty. 495 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 2: In case you missed it, we talked with Tom Homan, 496 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,880 Speaker 2: who's in charge of immigration enforcement for the Trump administration. 497 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 2: He was on the air with us for about twenty minutes, 498 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 2: and after four o'clock you could hear that interview. Exclusive 499 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 2: interview on the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand coming 500 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 2: up just after two o'clock. Another major figure in this 501 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 2: sudden battle that we're having with these immigration activists.

He's Trump's new US 503 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 2: attorney for the Los Angeles area, the Central District they 504 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: call it, which encompasses many counties, La County and the 505 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,239 Speaker 2: surrounding ones. And he's going to come on with us 506 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 2: as well. One of the other figures in the news 507 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 2: is David Huerta, and David Huerta is president of the 508 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 2: Service Employees International Union California. You may have seen this 509 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: guy occasionally in news stories, major union official, fifty eight 510 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: years old, and he showed up to block an immigration 511 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 2: raid in downtown LA and bad things happened because now 512 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: he's facing a felony charge of impeding a federal immigration 513 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 2: action and he could face six years in prison. He 514 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: was detained and injured. He was quote documenting a workplace 515 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 2: immigration raid. 516 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: Oh. 517 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: Another guy holding up a camera. By the way, so 518 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 2: many people out in the streets look stupid walking around 519 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 2: holding up a camera. You have a dozen live television 520 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 2: cameras on a dozen different stations. You got hundreds of 521 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 2: other people holding up their cameras. It's just so, it's 522 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 2: just so silly, and everybody does exactly the same thing. 523 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,239 Speaker 2: And I'm looking at these people and I'm wondering how 524 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 2: many of these people are illegal here. I'm guessing the 525 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 2: ones waving the Mexican flags. That's a sure thing. Anyway, 526 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: Uh Huerta. There was a photo that Assaily posted with 527 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 2: his hands behind his back. They said he obstructed access 528 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 2: of federal authorities to where they were conducting a search warrant. 529 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: That's another unreported story. There were a lot of unreported 530 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: stories over the weekend, and I'm going to go through 531 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 2: them all eventually. But a judge named Marco Margo Racconi, 532 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: US magistrate. She authorized search warrants Thursday for four business 533 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 2: locations Suspective suspected of unlawfully employing illegal aliens and falsifying 534 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 2: employment records related to the status of its employees. So 535 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: it was a federal judge issued a warrant. Ice had 536 00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: the job of executing the warrant. David Hirta, the union leader, 537 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: is standing in the way obstructing, so he's been arrested. 538 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 2: And I hope he gets six years in prison. The 539 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 2: media all day long yesterday and I consumed way too 540 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: much of this. Not what I wanted to do on 541 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 2: a Sunday, but I'm trying to find out, well, where 542 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: did this start? Why did this start? And it turns out, 543 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 2: as Tom Holman explained, and I didn't read about that 544 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 2: until this morning, this was a fashion business that I 545 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 2: think Bill Saleya talked more about this. This was a 546 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 2: fashion business that had some kind of racket going on. 547 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: They were under reporting, they weren't paying their taxes. It 548 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 2: wasn't designed as a workplace raide. Now, when you go 549 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 2: into a business like that, if there are legal aliens working, 550 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 2: they'll get arrested or detained. By the way, these places 551 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: are also abusing employees, making them work very long hours 552 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 2: for very little pay. Again, they were the business was 553 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:13,320 Speaker 2: breaking the law, ice enforcing the law. This is what 554 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: God get with the excuse for the activists to go crazy, 555 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 2: and they were looking for something to go crazy once 556 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: they heard that Trump potentially is sending the National Guard. 557 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, well, what wouldn't he send the national Guard? 558 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 2: Because last night I saw with my own eyes, we're 559 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 2: going to play the audio next hour, Jim McDonald, the 560 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 2: LAPD chief, is saying that LAPD officers were overwhelmed last night. Overwhelmed, 561 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 2: that's his word. Well, if the LAPD is overwhelmed, who 562 00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 2: are we going to turn to? Because Karen Bass and 563 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom made this a sanctuary state, a sanctuary city. 564 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: These illegal aliens, mostly young guys. I like how we're told, Oh, 565 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: it's just hard working. They're not working hard. They're destroying things, vandalizing. 566 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 2: They busted up many police cars on the one oh one. Like, 567 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 2: maybe they are working hard. Sure, maybe their parents were 568 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 2: working hard. Those parents raised bad guys. There's a lot 569 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: of bad parenting maybe among the hard working immigrants, these 570 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 2: people who are out of control, and they're therefoot by 571 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 2: the thousands, and they're waving Mexican flags. Exactly who am 572 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 2: I supposed to feel sorry for here? I didn't see 573 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 2: a thousand housekeepers in the street. I didn't see a 574 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 2: thousand nannies. I saw a thousand young thugs in the street, 575 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 2: and I'm paying for their health care. And I got 576 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 2: Karen Vass and Gavin Newsom telling me that everything I'm 577 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 2: looking at is wrong. I got some TV news casters 578 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 2: telling me. What I'm looking at is wrong? The hell's 579 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: going on here? 580 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: Oh? 581 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 2: What Homan was doing? The Ice, Homeland Security, the cops, 582 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:16,760 Speaker 2: they're doing the right thing. The fashion company was breaking 583 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 2: the law, Homeland Homeland Security and ICE was enforcing the law. 584 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 2: Same thing in the streets. The cops are taking rocks 585 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 2: to their skulls. What's wrong with everybody? What did this happen? 586 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,040 Speaker 2: Our Bill of Saley's coming on next debor Mark Live 587 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 2: in the KFI twenty four hour Newsroom.
