1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: Can if I am six forty, you're listening to the 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. John Cobelt Show, 3 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: day from one until four o'clock, and then after four 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: o'clock you can get the podcast John Cobelt's Show on 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: demand and pick up whatever you missed. We're going to 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: talk now with Michael Gates. Michael Gates was the former 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: city attorney for Huntington Beach and most recently he's been 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: working in the Trump administration as Deputy Assistant Attorney General. 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: Now he's running to be California Attorney General as a 11 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: Republican up against Rob Bonta, and boy, would that make 12 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: a huge difference in the way California operates. Let's get 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: Michael Gates on. How are you? Michael? 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: Good, John, how are you? It's going to be with 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: you again. 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: Good to have you on. All right, I'll make it easy. 17 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: What would you do differently than what Rob Bot has 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: been doing? 19 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 3: Well? 20 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: But thank you. First, I'm embracing this. I'm very excited 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 2: about this, and as you know, I'm not afraid of 22 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: a challenge. I've fought Sacramento for years on behalf of 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: Huntington Beach as the city attorney, over ten years, frankly 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: fighting for the city again Sacramento, because you know, California's 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 2: crazy town. One of the first things we're going to 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: do is make crime illegal again. I mean, crime is 27 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 2: still out of control. Sacramento doesn't want to admit it. 28 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: In fact, they want us to basically accept it. You 29 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 2: have to basically accept a certain level of crime, just 30 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: like you have to accept high gas taxes, just like 31 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 2: you have to accept the high cost of living, just 32 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: like you have to accept all these other state mandates. 33 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: They just want us to accept that. We are going 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: to have streets with criminals running rampant, and we've got 35 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: you know, law enforcement, local law enforcement taking cues. They're 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: you know, coddling criminals, and they are turning the backs 37 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: on victims. And what we're going to do is put 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 2: that we are going to implement enforced Prop thirty six, 39 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: which is what the people voted for. It's the law 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: of the land, it's in our constitution. We are going 41 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: to implement and force Prop thirty six. We are going 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: to have a zero crimes agenda across the state If 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 2: prosecutors aren't trying to get crime to zero, then they're 44 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 2: not doing their job. Prosecutors should absolutely up and down 45 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: the state be trying to get crime to zero. And John, 46 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: when we do that, we're going to make California prosperous again, 47 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: because when we have zero crime or far far far 48 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: lower crime, our families are safe, our communities are safe, 49 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: and businesses thrive. Right now, we have a mass exodus 50 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: of businesses. As you know, there's a resident leaving California 51 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: one every minute in forty four seconds. California is a hostile, 52 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: unpleasant place for businesses and families. And we have got 53 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,839 Speaker 2: to change that right now. And I think I think 54 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 2: the state's ready for it. They're ready for it, and 55 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: I'm up to it. 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of the crime, and also the 57 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: fear of crime, comes because we have thousands of thousands 58 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: of crazy people and drug addicts running around the streets. 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: Those people commit crimes all day and night, and they 60 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: don't get busted for anything. That's why I get so 61 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: pissed off from here and knew some claiming crime is down, Well, 62 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: when you don't arrest anybody for crimes anymore, then yeah, 63 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: I guess you could say it went down. You just 64 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: they stopped arresting and the crazy people were in the 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: street doing all they all sorts of mayhem. 66 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 2: You nailed it under reporting because we don't report. Businesses 67 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: don't report, even families don't report. Individuals don't report because 68 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: everybody shrugs ourhoulders are like, well, it's not a crime. 69 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: And that's because of what I said that the state 70 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: expects us to absorb, to live with a certain level 71 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: of crime. But there's other things too. You know, we 72 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: are going to enforce elections laws to build our confidence 73 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: in California elections. Again, I did that with the US 74 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: Department of Justice. I was the one that sued California. 75 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: I was the one that sued Orange County, California, both 76 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: California and Orange County, California over dirty voters. Clean voter 77 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: rolls equals clean elections. So we're going to enforce our 78 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 2: elections laws. We are going to allow cities to have 79 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: their local control. We are not going to be swing 80 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: cities left and right for every little TICKI tech offense 81 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: because they aren't heeding the state mandates. And so there's 82 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 2: a whole host of things that we're going to do 83 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: and we're going to crack down on homeless. You know, 84 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: this is the homeless thing really bothers me because it's 85 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 2: a lot like what Trump said about the border. You know, 86 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 2: prior to Trump, it was well, we needed, we need 87 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 2: an immigration reform. You know, there's nothing we can do. 88 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 2: We've got to let you know, tens of thousands of 89 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 2: people across the border every day because our elections law 90 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: are I'm sorry, our border laws, our enforcement laws are broken. 91 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 2: We need reform. Trump consenses you don't need new laws, 92 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 2: you just need a new executive to enforce. Homelessness is 93 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: the same thing if you have executives at high levels 94 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 2: saying like, look, we're going to have a zero tolerance 95 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: for homelessness. We are not going to allow people to 96 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 2: live on our streets, to suffer and die on our 97 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 2: streets for God's sakes. In California, one of the great 98 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 2: the greatest state in the in the nation, you can 99 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 2: enforce the law and we have services available. So if 100 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 2: you do both, you enforce the camping and loitering and 101 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: public intoxication laws that are already on the books, and 102 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 2: you get these people into services, which is what they need. 103 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: That's the compassion right there, which is what they need. 104 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: We can absolutely solve homelessness, but we haven't had that 105 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: heretofore because our leaders in Sacramento have said, Nope, we 106 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: have to live with a certain amount of homelessness. We 107 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: have to allow people to die on the street. We 108 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: have to allow these homeless people on the street to 109 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: effectively be driving businesses out of our business districts. It's 110 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: just completely dysfunctional. I have done all of this in 111 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: Huntington Beach. We reduced homeless population by over sixty percent. 112 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: Through enforcement, we reduced crime. When I started a criminal 113 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: prosecutor program in the city of Huntington Beach in twenty seventeen, 114 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: we reduced crime by double digits. It's been dropping ever since. 115 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: I have done all of this work before, John, and 116 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: I can't wait to get to Sacramento and do it again. 117 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: And state wide, we can do all of what we 118 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 2: did at Huntington Beach state wide. 119 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: Can you hang out for another segming? 120 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: Yes of time? 121 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: All right? Because what I want to talk about, and 122 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I agree with everything you said about going after crime 123 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: and this Minnesota fraud situation with the Somalians has has 124 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: unleashed a new found interest in California fraud. And I 125 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this story yesterday, but there's 126 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: a billionaire named Chamath poly Hapitia, and he has analyzed 127 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: some data that a journalistic organization Pro Public uncovered and 128 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: IRS data as well. And he says there's over two 129 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: hundred thousand nonprofits in the state and they take almost 130 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: six hundred dollars six hundred billion dollars annually, and the 131 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: IRS says about twenty percent of that is not compliant 132 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: with audits. And he's thinking, there's one hundred and twenty 133 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: billion dollars of fraud in the state of California every year. 134 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,919 Speaker 1: And I want to talk to you about that whole 135 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,559 Speaker 1: subject when we come back. Okay, all right, we're talking 136 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: with Michael Gates. Michael Gates is the former city attorney 137 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: for Huntington Beach and he also worked as the Deputy 138 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: Assistant Attorney General in the Trump administration. He is now 139 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: running for California Attorney General on the Republican side against 140 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 1: Little Rob Bonta. That more with Michael coming up next. 141 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 142 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 4: six forty. 143 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: All right, let's continue with Michael Gates, the former city 144 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: attorney for Huntington Beach. We had him on many times 145 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: when he was in that role. He's also worked as 146 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: a Deputy Assistant Attorney General and the Department of Justice 147 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: and the Trump administration. And now he is running for 148 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: California Attorney General and as a Republican, he's going to 149 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: be going up against Rob Bonta. All right, let me 150 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: let me lay this out for people just joining us. 151 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: So yesterday I talked about this. There is a California 152 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: billionaire and he's he has a podcast and he's very 153 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: critical of the Newsom administration. His name is Chamath poly 154 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 1: Hepedia and on social media yesterday he took data from 155 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: a journalistic organization, data from the IRS, and he says 156 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: there's over two hundred thousand nonprofits in California taking these 157 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: nonprofits taken almost six hundred billion dollars a year, and 158 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: according to the IRS, twenty percent of that is plagued 159 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: by compliance issues, auditing issues. And he thinks, and presumably 160 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: the RS thinks, there's about one hundred and twenty billion 161 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: dollars in waste, fraud and abuse coming on the heels 162 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 1: of what's going on in Minnesota and Newsom and Karen 163 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: Bass's own scandals with tens of billions of homeless dollars disappearing, 164 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: tens of billions of high speed rail dollars disappearing, tens 165 00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: of billions dollars in the unemployment fiasco from the pandemic. 166 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: Are you going to investigate this stuff because Bonte isn't. 167 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 2: Oh one hundred percent. I mean, California is target rich 168 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: for all for investigations for all of these types of issues. 169 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 2: And what's bothered me for so long is, as I 170 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: said in the last segment, you know, it's been very 171 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 2: hands off by Sacramento when it comes to cracking down 172 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 2: on crime or cracking down homelessness. But it hasn't been 173 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: hands off when they look to sue, and they do 174 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: sue Catholic hospitals for not performing certain procedures, or they 175 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: sue nonprofit Christian nonprofit groups, or they sue school boards, 176 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 2: or they sue cities. So the resources in the Attorney 177 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: General's Office has been directed in the wrong areas. We 178 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: do not need to be weaponized. The AG's office should 179 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 2: not be weaponized against good Christians, good Christian groups, Catholic hospitals, schools, 180 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: school boards that are just trying to protect children. The 181 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 2: resources of the Attorney General's Office should be focused on 182 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: the things that matter to California, like, Hey, where's my 183 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: tax dollars been going? Oh, they're lost. Twenty four billion 184 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: dollars going to that was supposed to go to solving 185 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,479 Speaker 2: the homeless problem completely disappeared, right, not funds completely disappeared. 186 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 2: So this is a priority for Califaians. And as I 187 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,599 Speaker 2: said in my press conference this morning when I was 188 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 2: talking to the media, the biggest problem with Sacramento is 189 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: they're completely out of touch with Californians. They're completely tone deaf, 190 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: and they frankly don't care. It's as if they're living 191 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 2: on another planet. And when I get up there, I 192 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: am going to be the voice for the people. I'm 193 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: going to be fighting for the people. That's who I am. 194 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: It's in my DNA, that's what I've done for ten 195 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: years on behalf of the city Huntington Beach, fighting for 196 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: the city and fighting for the people against Sacramento. And 197 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 2: so I'm with you one thousand percent. I can't wait 198 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: for a lot of these citizen journalists and these other 199 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: reporters to be digging into this and revealing more and 200 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 2: more and more because and I take office after I 201 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: win this election, the table is going to be set 202 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: and we are going to go after all of this fraud, 203 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: waste and abuse, and we're going to put an end 204 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,439 Speaker 2: to it. And you know what, I know it's bantered 205 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 2: around a lot, but you know, if you're if you're 206 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 2: caught committing crimes and you're caught defrauding the public, defrauding 207 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 2: the hard working California public, you're going to jail. And 208 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: We're not just going to investigate and have investigations going 209 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 2: for five or ten years. And look, the statute of 210 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 2: limitations pass and we can't get anybody behind bars. No, 211 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 2: we are going to We are going to actually aggressively investigate, 212 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 2: and whoever the culprits are, they are going to see 213 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: justice and so and that's what Californians need. You know, 214 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 2: Like I said, this fraud is frankly in the cost 215 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: of living, in the high taxes. It's all breaking the 216 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: back of hard working Americans and I are hardworking Californians. 217 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 2: I see this in so many cities, particularly in large 218 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 2: cities like you know, Los Angeles, Cisco and San Diego. 219 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: And you know, there are so many folks, and even 220 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: in the Central Valley, there are so many folks who 221 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 2: just try to make ends meet every day. And then 222 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 2: to hear on the radio or the TV that the 223 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 2: state has lost, squandered, or or just can't simply can't 224 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: account for their tax dollars. It's such an insult. 225 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: Newsome admits to it. He admits to losing twenty four billion, 226 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: and then goes on with life. There are no consequences 227 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 1: as if it didn't happen. On the homelessness, out of. 228 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: Touch, out of touch and when folks, and I know 229 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 2: you've got a massive audience, I know a lot are 230 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, Republican get into office. I'm going to 231 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: tell you right now this is why. Because Californians are 232 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: absolutely fed up. And frankly, the Attorney General's race is 233 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,439 Speaker 2: always much closer. It's much much closer, fifty to fifty. 234 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 2: You know, Kamala Harris barely beat Steve Cooley back in 235 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: twenty ten. That was a very very very close race 236 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 2: and that wasn't that long ago. So this is going 237 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 2: to be a very very competitive race, and California can 238 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: deliver a new Attorney General to Sacramento. I have absolute 239 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 2: confidence and if they want to find out more, they 240 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: can go to gatesfoag dot com, Gates the number four 241 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: ag dot com.

But this 245 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: is going to be a grassroots effort. It's going to 246 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 2: be me and the people that win this election. It's 247 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: going to be me and the people, and I need 248 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 2: the people to rally with me. We can make this change. 249 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: Right now, I'm absolutely confident, or frankly, I wouldn't even 250 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 2: be getting in this race. I know we can do this, John. 251 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: Michael Gates, I hope you do.

Michael Gates running for Attorney 257 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: General California up against Little Rob Bonta and he is 258 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: the former Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Department of 259 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: Justice for the Trump administration and people in Southern California. 260 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: Know him for his many years city attorney for Huntington Beach, 261 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: and you know he'll go after the bad guys and 262 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: not protect the bad guys like Bonta is doing. When 263 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: we come back, speaking of fraud, the House Republicans are 264 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: filing a bill to ban a legal aliens from welfare benefits, 265 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: and they're doing it in a way where they don't 266 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: they can get around Democratic opposition and the Democratic filibuster 267 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: in Washington, and this would be huge if they can 268 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: work this out. 269 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am 270 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 4: six forty. 271 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: John Cobelt's show are on every day from one until four, 272 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: and you could follow us at John Cobelt Radio on 273 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: social media at John Cobelt Radio, and you could subscribe 274 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: to our YouTube channel.

You may 278 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: have heard today that the foreign Ministers for Greenland and 279 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: Denmark met with jd Vance and Marco Rubio because Trump 280 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: wants Greenland. He's threatening to invade Greenland unless they surrender 281 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: the land the whole island themselves, and wants to set 282 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: up military bases and wants to set up wants also 283 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: the minerals there. And the thing is, Trump's got some 284 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: good points that even the Danish and the Greenlandic people 285 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: would agree with. I heard our former ambassador to Denmark 286 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: on the news today saying, no, the Russians are getting 287 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: quite active along the Arctic Circle near Greenland, and it 288 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: is a smart thing for us to have a military presence, 289 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: and we've always had an agreement that allows us to 290 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: have more of a military presence and set up more bases. 291 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: And the Danish are always willing to do a deal. 292 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: Is the Danish? I mean they they have a tight 293 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: relationship with Greenland. I think it's as if they own it, 294 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: but they can't sell it. It's too complicated to explain. 295 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: But both the Greenlandic and the Danish minister we're here 296 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: in Washington to talk about it, and they would do 297 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: a mineral deal as well. But Trump, for some reason, 298 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: Jess wants to invade it and own it and run it. 299 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 1: So they said, well no, So they had this big 300 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: meeting with JD. Vance and Marco Rubio. And then there's 301 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: this video that the Post is running showing them in 302 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: the parking lot after the meeting, and the Greenlandic Foreign 303 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: minister and the Danish Foreign minister are furiously smoking cigarettes 304 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: and like a very nervous aggress manner like you don't 305 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: see anymore. Like when I was a kid, people did 306 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: that all the time. But they are puffing away and 307 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: smoking away, and it's like, God, what went on in there? 308 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: If Trump was part of the meeting, they'd be doing shots. 309 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: It's or maybe it's just a European way and we're 310 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: all prissy about that stuff. Here, the House Republicans want 311 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: to file a bill to ban a legal aliens from 312 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: welfare benefits. Anybody against that idea? Yeah, California Globe has 313 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: the story, Megan Barth, and you obviously the first reaction 314 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: is that, well, the Democrats can always block it with 315 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: the filibuster in the Senate. But what a Republican named 316 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: Abraham Hammada from Arizona wants to do and I don't 317 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: want to get too technical here, but there's a process 318 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: called reconciliation where you can pass it in the Senate 319 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: with fifty one votes it bypasses the filibuster. The catch 320 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: is it has to only it has to only govern spending. 321 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: And so what habid That wants to do is write 322 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: a bill banning illegal aliens from welfare benefits, so it 323 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: is connected to spending, and make it an addition to 324 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: last year's bill, you know, the big beautiful bill with 325 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: the tax cuts and all that. Well that was done 326 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: through reconciliation. So they got by the Democratic the Democratic 327 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: threats of a filibuster. They wants to do it again, 328 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: and according to californiaglobe dot com, it could significantly impact 329 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: California because we have one of the largest illegal alien 330 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: populations and we are using a lot of state and 331 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: federal tax baller dollars to fund healthcare, housing, welfare, and 332 00:18:53,080 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: education for illegal aliens, and we're broke. So is saying 333 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: Republicans must go it alone with a second reconciliation bill 334 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: for California states like Minnesota, so that the funding now 335 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: only goes to American citizens. And this is catching on 336 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: around the country, the idea that American tax money should 337 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: just go for Americans. This bill also would put into 338 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: law Trump's executive orders, and this would be huge because 339 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: It would ban them, for example, from giving away federal 340 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 1: dollars for lifetime illegal alien health care, which is bankrupting 341 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: us anyway, because we're using state and federal money. California 342 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: Globe Rights that this is a push to prioritize American 343 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: citizens in federal spending. Can you imagine making American citizens 344 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: a priority? Unbelievable, But it raises alarms in states like California. 345 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: California's reliance on federal funds for programs serving illegal aliens 346 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: could face cuts if the bill passes. It wants to 347 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: exclude non citizens from counting towards the purpose of funding. 348 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,959 Speaker 1: Let me explain. When states get federal money, there's a 349 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: formula and it uses your population totals. Well, this bill 350 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: would say, yeah, we'll use California's population totals minus the 351 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: illegal aliens. Well, that's going to cut more than ten 352 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: percent of the total right off the top there, because 353 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: more than ten percent of the illegal aliens here are 354 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: not just far and born, They're not just immigrants, they're 355 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: illegal aliens. I mean, it's it's millions of illegal aliens here, 356 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: and it costs billions and billions of dollars. And so 357 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: here's a new idea. How about American tax money for 358 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: Americans only, period and full stop. As a wise man 359 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: once said, you don't how many residents we have on 360 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: food stamps? Guess, debor how many California residents on food stamps. 361 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to say fifty All right, Eric, you get 362 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: to you get a guess how many Americans are on 363 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: food stamps? How many Californians? Okay, just Californians. Yeah, never 364 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: says fifty thousand. Oh, I'm going to guess a million. 365 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: I was going to say a million, actually, but I 366 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: thought that was crazy. You want to say a million? 367 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: You can say no, I'm right, she's wrong. Okay. Then 368 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to say a million and a half. No, 369 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: we're not okay, million and a quarter million, million, all right, stop, 370 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to startup bidding work. You're both way off. 371 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: Five and a half million. Wait, five and a half 372 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: million California residents on food stamps. Yeah, this is what 373 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: we've got here, five and a half million people. Yeah, 374 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: more coming up? 375 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 2: Oh. 376 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: The Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen He has an estimate of 377 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 1: how much of the US budget is stolen each year 378 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: through fraud and explains how or what categories that where 379 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: you'd find the thefts. That's next. 380 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 4: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM 381 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 4: six forty. 382 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: You're talking about all the fraud in California. Treasury Secretary 383 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: Scott Bessent says up to ten percent of the entire 384 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: federal budget might be gobbled up by fraudsters. Up to 385 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: ten percent, and in a separate category, I mean, they 386 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: think up to five hundred billion a year is lost 387 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: annually due to fraud. And then there's a separate category 388 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: called improper payments. I guess these are mistakes made by 389 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: the government that costs in the last twenty years almost 390 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: three trillion dollars. So three trillion dollars out the window 391 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: because of bad procedures, bad payment procedures by the federal government, 392 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: a half a trillion every year because of fraud. I mean, 393 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: it's far and again, can you imagine on the state 394 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: level what it's like. Also, State Department says it's suspending 395 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: the processing of immigrant visas for citizens of seventy five countries. 396 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: Seventy five countries visa applications are halted no more. The 397 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: list includes Russia, Iran, and Somalia. Afghanistan, Brazil, Egypt, among others, Brazil, 398 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: So it's dozens and dozens of countries. And I know 399 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: everybody thinks Trump and Ice are too harsh with their policies. 400 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: And I saw this yesterday. We've played this before. It's 401 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: making the rounds. You got to hear this again because 402 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: there is a day when virtually everyone who was ever 403 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: president agreed with Trump's philosophy. Listen to the next minute 404 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 1: and a half. You'll hear Obama in twenty fourteen, Hillary 405 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, Bill Clinton in nineteen ninety five. 406 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: Listen to you're a criminal. You'll be deported if you 407 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: plan to enter the US illegally. Your chances of getting 408 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: caught and sent back just went up. The actions I'm 409 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: taking are not only lawful. There are the kinds of 410 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: actions taken by every single Republican president and every single 411 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: Democratic president for the past half century. I think we 412 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: got to. 413 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: Have tough conditions. 414 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 1: Tell people to come out of the shadows. 415 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 3: If they've committed a crime, Deport them, no questions asked, 416 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 3: They're gone. All Americans, not only in the states most 417 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,919 Speaker 3: heavily affected, but in every place in this country, are 418 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 3: rightly disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering 419 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,480 Speaker 3: our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held 420 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 3: by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use 421 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 3: impose burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has 422 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 3: moved aggressively to secure our borders more by hiring a 423 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 3: record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as 424 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 3: many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on 425 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: illegal hiring, by barring welfare. 426 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: Benefits to illegal aliens. 427 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 3: In the budget I will present to you, we will 428 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 3: try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal 429 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 3: aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal 430 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 3: aliens in the workface, as recommended by the commission headed 431 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 3: by a former compt. 432 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: This woman Barbara Jordan. 433 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 3: So, we are a nation of immigrants, but we are 434 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 3: also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately 435 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 3: self defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the 436 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 3: kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen 437 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 3: in recent years, and we. 438 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: Must do more to stop it. And those are democratic 439 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: legislators applauding him. I cut that ovation in half too, 440 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: Is that right? That was a long ovation? 441 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 2: Look at that? Huh? 442 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: Thirty years ago, exactly, Bill Clinton, steady the Union address. 443 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: It would have been roughly this week or next week, 444 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: thirty years ago. Did you hear that? Hear what he said? 445 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: Did you hear the applause for it? This is back 446 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: when the world was normal. I still remember that world. 447 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: Did you hear Hillary Clinton in two thousand and eight? 448 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: How harsh she sounded? Here? Obama in twenty fourteen, who, 449 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: by the way out reported Donald Trump's first term. Obama 450 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: deported way way more millions more during his term than 451 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: Trump did back when the world was normal, and now 452 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: it's considered extreme, outrageous, violent cruel. No, this is the 453 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: law being enforced. You just haven't seen it in a while. 454 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 1: All Right, we'll be back tomorrow and Conway's coming up next. 455 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: Michael Krozer has the news live in the KFI twenty 456 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: four hour newsroom.
