1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,840
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 2: I Am six forty you're listening to the John Cobelt

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: podcast on the iHeartRadio app. You could also hear the

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 2: show posted after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: It's the podcast version same as the radio show, Pick

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: Up What You Missed, so we service you twenty four

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: hours a day, seven days a week.

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: It's hard to believe.

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: First of all, it's hard to believe it's over a

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: year since Trump got shot in Butler, Pennsylvania. Took a

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: bullet in the ear, and if you remember, the Secret

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: Service counter snipers. They took care of the attempted assassin

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: who somehow got on top of a warehouse rooftop by himself.

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: How he got up there and was unattended is one thing,

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: but now that you know, the Secret Service shot him

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: and killed him. And the Department of Homeland Security has

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: an Inspector General and they did a report to see

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: what's going on with the Secret Service, and they found

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: that it's still chronically understaffed. They still have a serious

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: shortage of counter snipers, even though the demand obviously is

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: increased quite a bit in this crazy era that we're

22
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: living in. We're going to talk with Don Mahallak, he's there,

23
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: the ABC News Law Enforcement contributor, and he's a retired

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: senior Secret Service agent.

25
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: We always like having him on to talk to him.

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: We're also going to talk about the Minneapolis shooting at

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: that school last week.

28
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: Let's get Don on. How are you, don Oo?

29
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 3: John?

30
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: How about you?

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm all right?

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: It would is it really difficult to hire counter snipers?

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know this business, but it seems

34
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: like you'd have people lining up out the door wanting

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: to help out the country to work and protect Trump

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: and everybody else. We certainly have a lot of people

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: trained and ex military.

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: It's hard. What's wrong?

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: Why is there a chronic shortage of counter snipers for

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: the Secret Service?

41
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 4: Well, you could have a lot of people lined up

42
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: that want to do the job, but chances aren't a

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 4: little down to a select few that can actually do

44
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: the job. Because the count of sniper position and a

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: Secret Service is unique because of the authority and the

46
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 4: judgment you have to have to do that job. It's

47
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 4: not like any other law enforcement or I would dare

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 4: say military sniper position. Because the Secret Service counter snipers

49
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 4: have a wide range of not only what they have

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 4: to do prior to the protective event and what they're

51
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 4: doing as a protective event, conducting that overwatch over the protectees,

52
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 4: and ultimately making a judgment CaAl of whether to use

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 4: lethal force or not on a long distance object amongst

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 4: a crowd of innocent people and a protectee, in some

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: cases the President of the United States. So it's a

56
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 4: critical staffing need for the Secret Service that always has been.

57
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: It's always difficult to staff. It's always been difficult to

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 4: staff the counter sniper position because the demands and the

59
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 4: strain on the individuals when they're in that position. Hopefully

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: the Secret Service might look into some other law enforcement

61
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: agencies that have snipers and the military have snipers and

62
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: maybe create a pipeline, so to speak, to bring them

63
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: in because even once they're hired by the Secret Service,

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 4: it's almost a three year training process to get somebody

65
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 4: up to speed to be operational. So it's not it's

66
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: not an easy position to recruit for. It's not an

67
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: easy position to keep people in.

68
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: So even if they've worked as a counter sniper for

69
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: another law enforcement unit, they still need extensive training to

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: be with the Secret Service.

71
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: Yes, most other law enforcement agencies call their snipers snipers.

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: The Secret Service is one of the few that calls

73
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: it a counter sniper because their job is to look

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: for snipers and to take out potential snipers or attackers

75
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: versus most law enforcement agencies who have a sniper, they're

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: not looking at. They're looking at to cover, you know,

77
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: a tactical situation for a law enforcement a law enforcement organization.

78
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 4: So it's a slightly nuanced different job, a lot more

79
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 4: freedom than your traditional law enforcement sniper positions.

80
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: And I guess you need some intelligence capabilities to be

81
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: able to identify a possible sniper.

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: Early on, well, I was on the.

83
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 4: Roof of the White House. I was on the roof

84
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 4: of the White House once and one of the count

85
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 4: of snipers said to me, don if you look down

86
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: at the Pennsylvania Avenue, it looks like it's far, but

87
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: somebody can cross the lawn of the White House in

88
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 4: a matter of seconds, and we have to take a

89
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 4: shot at a moving object that's about the size of

90
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: a dime, and often amongst a crowd of people.

91
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: This is slightly off topic, but did you see the

92
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 2: other day that some Ukrainian soldier, a sniper took out

93
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: a Russian from two miles away.

94
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've had we've had those type of tales two

95
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: out of Iraq and Afghanistan. I think there was a

96
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 4: Navy seal sniper that took out a terrorist on a

97
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 4: two mile shot too, because of the type of rifle

98
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: they're using.

99
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: So I mean that kind of thing must keep Secret

100
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: Service people up at night, that there might be some

101
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: crazy person out there from two miles out.

102
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: Well, And that goes to the Secret Service advance process

103
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 4: and why it's so important not only to conduct a

104
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 4: thrower advance process and to institute those three rings of

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 4: protection at the Secret Service institutes, but also to make

106
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 4: sure that you have the counter snipers available to provide

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 4: that overwatch that are looking outward at the mets at

108
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 4: something like that, to make sure if they see a

109
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 4: threat like that, it can be addressed early on versus

110
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 4: too late, as we saw on Butler.

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 2: All Right, the other story I wanted to talk about

112
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: with you, and I'm sure by now everybody's heard about this.

113
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: It was that Annunciation Catholic School last week in Minneapolis.

114
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: It was a twenty three or old woman who had

115
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: been a man. It was a trans woman named Robin

116
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 2: Westman and he used to go to this school. His

117
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: mother worked at the church, and he showed up and

118
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: killed two kids and wounded eighteen others. And it turns out,

119
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: like so many times, he left behind a huge amount

120
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: of evidence. He'd been posting YouTube videos, violent YouTube videos,

121
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: and dozens of pages of notes were on the videos,

122
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: handwritten journals, videos of high powered weapons, notebooks, you know,

123
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: all kinds of crazy stuff. And they were sitting out

124
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: there and playing sight on YouTube. And it's you get

125
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: these predictable responses. But it seems like every time this happens,

126
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:57,799
Speaker 2: these these these killers left behind a wealth of evidence

127
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: to damaged right that how insane and violent they were,

128
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: and still you can't seem to stop these shootings.

129
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm well, I mean.

130
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 4: You've got a couple of things going on. Number one,

131
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 4: post COVID twenty twenty, you know, we released mental people

132
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: out of mental health institutions all around the country. You

133
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 4: had a fear of them dying from COVID, so you

134
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: flooded the streets and you release people that were hospitalized

135
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: for mental health issues, and that you know, you're not

136
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 4: pulling them back at the hospitals now, right, they're out

137
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 4: they're out on the street whatever, and not just say

138
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: all of them are violent, but you know, you released

139
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 4: a whole range of people who are now not having treatment.

140
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: And in a case of an individual like this, like

141
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 4: like in Minnesota, my guess is that they've had mental

142
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 4: health crisis for years and it has never been properly addressed.

143
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 4: It's never been it's never been handled. Probably the parents.

144
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 4: Typically in these situations, the parents are in denial or

145
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 4: in some cases the parents are enablers, which is why

146
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: I think they serve to warrant on the mother's house already,

147
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: and they're looking at some of the stuff involving the mother,

148
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 4: so you know, so she could potentially face charges like

149
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: that couple up in the I think it was up

150
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 4: in the Michigan or did So. You know, you have

151
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: parents that are enablers, who aren't looking at their children

152
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: and and really doing that that hard look and go,

153
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 4: look there's something wrong here. We really need to get

154
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: our arms wrapped around this. That's number one, and number two.

155
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 4: The other problem is, you know, there was still gaps

156
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: in the federal background check system when it comes to

157
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 4: mental health. It's still one of these things that's out

158
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: there that nobody really wants to adequately adequately address because

159
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: you have to have a judge rule that somebody is

160
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: mentally incompetent before they can be put into the background

161
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 4: check system and and be one of the ten list

162
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: of people that aren't allowed to purchase firearms. If that

163
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 4: doesn't happen, even if somebody's facing depression, is on medications

164
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: and whatnot, if they're not a judgmentally incompetent, weakly, if

165
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 4: they've had no other crimes, they're able to purchase a firearm.

166
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: And now you're putting the firearm dealers and FFL is

167
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 4: in his position. If somebody like that walks in, they

168
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 4: can't tell if the person's dealing with a mental crisis

169
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: or not, and they're going through their process, they clear

170
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: the background check and have to selling them a gun,

171
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 4: which is what happened with this person. We need to

172
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 4: figure out a way that if somebody is having a

173
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 4: mental crisis, is in a significant depression, expressing suicidal, homicidal,

174
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 4: whatso whatever, that there is some way, whether it's a

175
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 4: red flag law or something that can happen to be

176
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 4: able to put this people into the box. So at

177
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 4: least that way they're not going to pass a background

178
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 4: check if they're walking into a firearm.

179
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: Shop, because this is the one issue we can't need

180
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: to get any level of government to address.

181
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: No, it's and it's really, it's really striking because in

182
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: a lot of these cases, it's individuals like this who

183
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 4: have significant mental health violent tendencies who are able to

184
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: access the gun legally. That should not happen. And it's

185
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: going to take an all of government approach to figure

186
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: out how do we balance the mental health piece of

187
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 4: this where we protect people's rights, but we also protect

188
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 4: the rest of the public.

189
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: Don thanks for coming on again.

Speaker 1: Or we're just talking with Don Mahallack.

204
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: He's the from ABC News and he's a former senior

205
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: Secret Service agent. We're talking about why after a year,

206
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: Secret Service still is short on counter snipers, like the

207
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: guys who blew away there would be assassin on the

208
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: roof in Butler, Pennsylvania who was shot Trump in the year.

209
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: They they they're just short and they're always short. And

210
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 2: don explain those reasons. And if you've missed it, that's

211
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: what the podcast is for later. But another related story

212
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: is Kamala Harris is out hawking her book and I

213
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 2: watched one interview of her and she said absolutely nothing.

214
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: I'm thinking this book all the pages are blank.

215
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: I think it's an empty book.

216
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 2: As soon as she was about to go on her

217
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 2: book tour, Trump revoked her Secret Service protection and some

218
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: people said, well, that's me and that's dangerous. It's like, well, wait,

219
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: by the law, Vice presidents and their families get Secret

220
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 2: Service protection only while in office. Technically on January twentieth,

221
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: it's over.

222
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: Now.

223
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: There is a six month grace period in which vice

224
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: presidents and their family can remain under Secret Service watch.

225
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 2: But you're supposed to come up with your own security provisions.

226
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: In the meantime, you're supposed to figure it out, and

227
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: after six months it really is over. Well, she was

228
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: still living off Joe Biden. Biden announced that she was

229
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: going to get an extension, and Trump provoked it because

230
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 2: he didn't think taxpayers ought to pay while she trapeses

231
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: around the country promoting all the nonsense in her book.

232
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: And he's got a point.

233
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 2: Biden had extended Harris' protection eighteen months.

234
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Now.

235
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: Biden also extended protection of his family, including this is

236
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: according to Trump. I don't know if this is true,

237
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 2: but Trump claims there were eighteen agents assigned to Hunter

238
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 2: Biden when he went to South Africa this week, and

239
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden ought to be in a federal prison insteadies

240
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: in South Africa.

241
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: I don't know.

242
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: Maybe he's shaking down the political leaders there, but he

243
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: couldn't possibly get eighteen agents. That that must have been

244
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: Trump exaggeration. He also claimed Ashley Biden had thirteen agents

245
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: the daughter assigned to her detail, because Biden had extended

246
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 2: that as well.

247
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: Now that was.

248
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 2: Trump said that he was going to end the secret

249
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: Service protection to Biden's adult children. Boy, if there's one

250
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: guy who does not deserve our taxpayer money to protect

251
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: his sorry body, that's Hunter Biden. So Harris is without

252
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 2: a taxpayer paid security team. And guess who stepped in,

253
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom. Gavin Newsom is assigning CHP officers to protect Harris.

254
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: I guess that's only inn lair do they go on

255
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: the book tour. They assigned her dignitary status, that's what

256
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 2: it's called. The CHP provides the security after Newsom granted

257
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: Kama dignitary status.

258
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: So we got to pay for this. Kamala and her

259
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: husband are really rich.

260
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 2: Her husband works for the biggest law firms in Los Angeles,

261
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: you know, when he's not slapping his old girlfriends around.

262
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: Harris is going to rely on private security, all right.

263
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, she had private security lined up, and now

264
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: Newsom stepped in and gave her taxpayer paid security with

265
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: the CHP.

266
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: I thought the CHP.

267
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: I'd read today that they're going to be helping out

268
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: removing homeless encampments. So how they're taking off that duty

269
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: to protect Harris while she pedals her bs in the book.

270
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: Good lord, but what a terribly corrupt situation. She has

271
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: tons of money. I've driven by her house all right.

272
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: She wanted to have you know, thirty security agents surrounding

273
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: her twenty four to seven. She and her husband have

274
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: the money. We shouldn't be paying for it. But hey,

275
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 2: you're working right now, well, some of your money is

276
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: going to protect her on the book tour.

277
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: More coming up.

278
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI A six.

279
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: We're on every day from one until four, and then

280
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: after four o'clock they post the John Cobelt Show on

281
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: demand podcast and then you can pick up on whatever

282
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: you missed. I'd mentioned before that Gavin Newsom is using

283
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: CHP officers to give Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris security protection

284
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: because her secret service expired.

285
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: She already got.

286
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: A six month bonus that she's not entitled to, and

287
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: then Biden was going to give her a longer term

288
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: and Trump push Trump cut it off.

289
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: I think that's a good argument there.

290
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: We shouldn't have to pay for security for Kamala Harris's

291
00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: book tour while whilst she goes around trying to explain

292
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: why she did nothing as Vice president and never said

293
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: what she was going to do as president other than

294
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: continue the Joe Biden administration.

295
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: And I wondered because.

296
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: I had read somewhere that the CHP had other duties

297
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: that Newsom is giving them, and that is true. I

298
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 2: don't know they're distracted by Kamala Harris security. But he

299
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 2: had announced I guess over the weekend. Well, actually they

300
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 2: just announced this yesterday, a statewide task force.

301
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: To clear to clear homeless encampments. Oh my god, he.

302
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: Actually announced a task force again, a task force to

303
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 2: clear homeless encampment, encampments and expanse services in California, it's

304
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 2: ten largest cities. Ah, you see running for president talking

305
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 2: point when somebody nails him a candidate or any media

306
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: outside the state of California, it says, almost this is

307
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: at an all time high, and you blew twenty four

308
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 2: billion dollars and you don't know where it went, and

309
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 2: you have like half the homeless of the nation. Well,

310
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 2: don't you know, I started a task force and the

311
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: CHP is part of the task force. Listen to this,

312
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 2: Listen to this. He actually says this in a statement.

313
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: California has put in place a strong, comprehensive strategy for

314
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: fighting the national homelessness and housing crisis, and it's outperforming

315
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: the nation as a result. In turning this issue around.

316
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 2: He's actually serious. He thinks this is a national crisis

317
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: and not a California crisis. Hang huh, let me type

318
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 2: something into Google. Google here, California leads nation in holmlessness.

319
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: This might not lead anywhere, but I just want to see. Uh, well,

320
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: but help if I could type that's like, you.

321
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 1: Are the slowest typer I've ever met. I've watched him

322
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: and I've actually taken over.

323
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 6: Number that one time we were sending an email to

324
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 6: somebody and I.

325
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: Just thank you. That was entirely unnecessary. I thought it

326
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: was very necessary. You brought it up.

327
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: I see, Okay, I finally got it in although I

328
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: misspelled California, but Google figured this out. California leads the

329
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 2: nation in homelessness, I wrote in and here you go

330
00:19:55,200 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: from the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. California has

331
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 2: the largest homelessness number in the nation, at one hundred

332
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: and eighty seven thousand in twenty twenty four. To make

333
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: things worse, the state has a high rate of unsheltered homelessness,

334
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: a large share which is single men. That's just the

335
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: like the AI summary of this Stanford Institute.

336
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: Research paper that they had produced.

337
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 2: That's all you have to do. You have to go

338
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: to Google and find out. Gavin Newsom is telling a big,

339
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: fat lie. California has put in place a strong, comprehensive

340
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: strategy and it's outperforming the nation as a result in

341
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: turning this issue around, fighting the national homelessness and housing crisis.

342
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: He is so shameless. It took well, I was.

343
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: Gonna say it took a few seconds and took me

344
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: a little longer because I type so slow.

345
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: Thanks reporting that out. You're welcome.

346
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 2: Then he says, no one should live in a dangerous

347
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 2: or unsanitary encampment.

348
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: He's been governor, he's been.

349
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: Covered for almost seven full years, and everything has gotten

350
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: worse and worse and worse. Go look at the homelessness

351
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: numbers in twenty eighteen. When did he take over? Was

352
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen? Yeah, right, yeah, in twenty eighteen, Jerry Brown

353
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 2: was still governor. Oh I got to look up those

354
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 2: homeless numbers and sometime in September, you know, within the

355
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: next few weeks, La San Diego, Long Beach, Anaheim is

356
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 2: going to get one of these task forces, it's called

357
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 2: a Safe task Force. They wanted the acronyms safe. So

358
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 2: the official title is the State Action for Facilitation on Encampments.

359
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: So they come up with something incomprehensible, so it produces

360
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: the word they want as an acronym. Because last year

361
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court ruled that you can ban living on

362
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: public property. So now fifteen months later, he's got a

363
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: task force making a claim it is not a national problem.

364
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: Trust me, there are cities that have homelessness issues too,

365
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 2: most of them on the West Coast because they're left wing,

366
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: progressive hell holes. But you go out to normal America,

367
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 2: like I said, I went, I've gone through four cities,

368
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: went through four cities last week. There's no problem in

369
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: most cities in the southeast. No oh, and you know tomorrow,

370
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 2: I'm going to get through get through this. Last in

371
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, he launched that Care program. That thing

372
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: has been a complete failure. This was supposed to put

373
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: homeless people and mental patients into custodial programs and it's

374
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: been a complete failure. So now he's got another task

375
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: force that's going to be a failure. But he's got

376
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 2: look at all these agencies, the California Office of Emergency, Business,

377
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: Consumer and Housing Agency, California Interagency Council, and Homelessness will offer.

378
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: Guidance to local governments.

379
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 2: These are the organizations that lost the twenty four billion

380
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 2: that they can't find. Health and Human Services, caltrans Highway Patrol.

381
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 2: Between twenty fourteen and twenty nineteen, unsheltered homelessness increased in

382
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: California by thirty seven thousand people. That's in the years

383
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: leading up to Newsom, and then it went up even more.

384
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: Now he's trying to say the homeless increase is less

385
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 2: than other states homeless increase, but other states are starting

386
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 2: from a very low number. Since we have such a

387
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 2: huge number, the percentage increases are going to be small.

388
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: The number of bodies, though, is tremendous.

389
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: Such a fraud, all.

390
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:13,399

396
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 5: They've had a lot of violence in Portland. I mentioned

397
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 5: before that much of the country has little homelessness except

398
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 5: the West coast cities which are run by destructive, idiotic progressives,

399
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 5: and it's true in Portland and in Seattle and in

400
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 5: Portland they have had a lot of ugly violent incidents,

401
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 5: several of them on Monday labored because they have a

402
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 5: detention facility that ICE runs in town and there's all

403
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 5: these You know, Portland is like the home of Antifa.

404
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 5: Remember they burned Portland for weeks and weeks in the

405
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 5: summer of twenty twenty and the last baron mayor never

406
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 5: stopped it. Well, they have a new Moron mayor named

407
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 5: Keith Wilson, and he's not stopping this kind of violence.

408
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 5: In fact, he's reaffirming that he's not cooperating with ICE.

409
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 5: Here is a report from KOI N Channel six CBS

410
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 5: in Portland, Lisa Bailick.

411
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: Side the ICE Field office in Portland South Waterfront, protesters

412
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 6: who want the detention center there shut down, clashing with

413
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 6: federal agents in the street and on the sidewalk out

414
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 6: front protesters that set up a mock guillatine started a fire.

415
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 6: Federal agents were heard warning the crowd to leave the

416
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 6: restricted area or faced attention, arrest or chemical weapons. At

417
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 6: one point, ice officers deployed chemical munich. Today I talked

418
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 6: one on one with Portland Mayor Wilson about the strong

419
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 6: possibility federal troops could arrive in Portland like they have

420
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 6: in LA and DC to crack down on immigration and protests.

421
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 6: He says, Portland is getting ready. How do you prepare

422
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 6: for this possibility.

423
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 3: We are really working with everybody in the city. We're

424
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: working with our congressional delegates. We're working on what we

425
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 3: can do responsibly to protect our citizens, to protect Portlanders,

426
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 3: and so we have tabletop exercises to determining what our

427
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 3: next responses are to this overreach and overreaction.

428
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 6: Tabletop exercises are discussions where they work through scenarios testing

429
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 6: emergency response. The mayor emphasizing Portland and Oregon will stand

430
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 6: behind their sanctuary status and not have law officers assist

431
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 6: with federal immigration enforcement.

432
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 7: You have the line in the sand when it comes

433
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 7: to Portland police.

434
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 3: We're working with them to determine what that response will be,

435
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: but we will not engage with the federal immigration enforcement

436
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 3: that goes on. That is our sanctuary city goals. That's

437
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 3: what the governor's goals are. And so you can rest

438
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 3: assure we won't be engaging or working with ICE in

439
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 3: any circumstances.

440
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 7: Now, we did reach out to ICE and have not

441
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 7: heard back. We were trying to find out how many

442
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 7: people were arrested of any last night. Also, we checked

443
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 7: in with Portland Police today. They tell me that they

444
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 7: were monitoring the situation down here last night, but they

445
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 7: were not involved in any enforcement.

446
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: Okay, here's some more details from Fox News. First of all,

447
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: nothing funnier than this weenie mayor saying, we have tabletop

448
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: exercises to determine what our next responses are. Trump's going

449
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: to send it the National Guard, hopefully the Marines too.

450
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: And we have tabletop exercises.

451
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: My god, where these people come from and how do

452
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: they get voted in again and again?

453
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: So now there's all sorts of violent mayhem going on.

454
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: Outside this uh, outside this ICE detention center.

455
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: These are I read.

456
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 2: The other day there's now a group that's nuttier than Antifa.

457
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 2: I don't know what it's called, but apparently Antifa is

458
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 2: a bunch of sissies. Compared to these guys, and they're

459
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: allowed to do whatever they want and assault a federal building. Now,

460
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: if they do that, Trump will send in the National Guard. Well,

461
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: you know, we have the tabletop exercises to plan our response.

462
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 2: There is no response.

463
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna, they're gonna.

464
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 2: What do you want to war between your law enforcement

465
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: and the National Guard?

466
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: You want a shooting war.

467
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 2: You're out ranked, outnumbered, and they're enforcing federal law and

468
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: you have no say.

469
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: What's this mayor's name again, Keith Wilson.

470
