I'm talking to the people closest to the biggest issues happening in your community and around the world. Because I know deep down inside right now, we are all cursing and asking what the bleep is going on. Every week I'm breaking down the biggest issues happening in our communities and around the world. I'm talking to people like Julie K. Brown, who broke the explosive story on Jeffrey Epstein in 2018. The Justice Department through we counted four presidential administrations failed these victims. Listen to Bleep with Anna Navarro on the iHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Can't find AM640. You're listening to the John Cobalt podcast on the iHeart Radio app. We are on every day from three until six. And then after six o'clock, John Cobalt's show on demand on the iHeart app. And that's the podcast. And that's where you listen to whatever you missed. We're going to talk now in a moment with Carl Domayo.

There is a lot of disruption at the airports around the country. Long lines for the TSA check. It could be 20 minutes, 30 minutes, it could be two hours. It's in some cities at certain times of the day. Because the Democrats in Congress are having a hissy fit over, over ice. Ice is funded until 2029. There's nothing they can do about that. That ship is long sailed. So they're trying to punish the rest of the Department of Homeland Security. We've had a number of terrorism incidents just in the last week since we're in the middle of a war with the greatest exporter of terrorism in the world. But as Democrats in Washington don't think that we should have a fully functioning Department of Homeland Security. We shouldn't have a fully functioning TSA.

Just waiting for people to be blown up and killed, I guess. So people are dealing with these delays at various airports around the country. We're going to talk now with Carl Domayo. He's a Republican Assemblyman from the San Diego area. Carl, how are you? Well, I'm frustrated. I had to get on an airplane today and I don't know whether there's going to be a long line or not. So I had to leave even earlier. So this morning I had to get up at 340 in the morning to get on the first flight at 630 to make sure that I don't miss that flight because in Sacramento we have legislative business. And this is not just me. This is every American now has to spend a lot more time getting into the airport. Some of them are finding the lines are two hours long. And why? Because Democrats are trying to score cheap political points. But more so than just the inconvenience to travelers. We have the Coast Guard that's not fully funded and they need to be policing our ports.

There was a report that the FBI said that there may be, you know, some sort of risk of groans being launched from port facilities to the west coast here in California. And then of course the people themselves are not getting paid. These TSA agents are not paid a whole lot. And so they are now entering week three with no paycheck. And what are they supposed to do? This is absurd. It is outrageous. It's offensive. And Democrats in Washington need to stop playing games, stop risking our security. And they need to treat these people with basic decency by paying them. Well, the TSA workers I suppose are from what I understand are calling in sick. And they're probably picking up jobs delivering food. They're working for Uber. Because I don't know how you keep the money coming in if you got a family. What they're forced to do. Yeah, they want to continue to do the job. But there's basic economic necessities where if they're not able to pay their bills, they've got to pick up a gig job.

And you know, it's hard enough for us to recruit and retain for these positions as it is. Not the easiest job when people sometimes when they're traveling, they're at their worst. And they take it out on TSA agents, which is inappropriate. But this is a hard job to recruit and retain for. And now we're seeing that these individuals are not being paid. And so the Democrats like to say that they're always fighting for the working family. Now, you're getting the shaft. The people who have nothing to do with your little political stunt. And as you just pointed out, none of this actually addresses what Democrats say they're trying to address, which is ICE policies. Yeah, that's what's really bizarre. They can't, they can't defund ICE. It's fully funded for the rest of Trump's term. So they're stuck. So they try to go after adjacent agencies that have nothing to do with immigration. And it has everything to do with getting to your plane on time. I mean, it just punishes regular people.

Is that punishing the Trump administration? It's just making life even more difficult for normal people trying to get around. Well, today on the assembly floor, I and my Republican colleagues tried to force a vote on a simple resolution that would have put the California State Legislature on record calling for Democrats in Congress to reopen TSA, reopen the Department of Homeland Security by passing this budget bill. And the Democrats in the assembly here in Sacramento didn't want to offend their colleagues in Washington. They're okay with people not getting paid throughout the state of California. They're okay with the inconvenience and the risk factor. So they killed our resolution, which was a very simple look. Congress did your damn job and fund this agency. And mind you, these members of Congress, they're getting paid even though federal workers are not getting paid. Remember the old, no budget, no pay, nonsense that they talked about years ago? These members of Congress, they always know that they can shut things down and not lose pay.

I think we should have a no budget, no pay for real provision that says if there's any late budget, you permanently forfeit your salary rather than this nonsense of, well, we can't, most of the government's open. So we should be able to get our pay roll and we should always be able to get it, you know, after the fact in full. I'm just, you know, your job, you don't get paid. Yeah, I'm just tired. This is also stupid. I mean, this seems every few months there's another shutdown and it comes to know that there's nothing good about it. It just penalizes people who don't deserve this. It inconveniences people who can't, who can't afford to have the inconvenience. It's stupid. It's a stupid way to run the government. It's a stupid way to run the country. It shows that they have no consideration or care for the people who work day in and day out in these programs. Again, I know that some people can get frustrated with government workers, but the reality is this says nothing to do with that.

It has everything to do with Congress not doing their job and clearly not caring about the financial impacts to the workforce. And you know what, the root of all this is you got a whole party that does not want to enforce the law. This comes out of not wanting to enforce federal immigration law, which is crazy. That, you know, I mean, just totally nuts. It's like, no, we're enforcing federal immigration law too bad. You lost the election when you weren't charged. It's not like you rewrote the rules. You didn't rewrite the laws. This is the law, Trump's enforcing it enough. Well, and they're showing that they're willing to put the interests of people here, not legally, in particularly the criminals that ISIS trying to target, that they're somehow more important than travelers. They're more important than the issues of Homeland Security with terror threats. They're more important than these workers. They aren't getting paid. I mean, that speaks volumes about where your priorities are and they're pretty darn twisted. All right, Carl Demire. Thank you for coming on with us.

Thank you. Carl Demire, Public Assemblyman in San Diego and of course, we're, we're on a high terrorism alert because of what has happened in Iran and what Iran is capable of and all the sleeper cells that are in this country, because of the wide open borders. This is all real stuff. We've had a number of terrorist incidents go on. Just in the last week or so. Now, Iran supposedly has a new president rather a new supreme leader, a new Ayatollah, the son of the old Ayatollah, And we talked last week about how he has some sexual issues when it comes to reproduction. Remember? Oh, right. Yes. You know, he wasn't, didn't seem to be fully loaded in there and they need an air. Well, it turns out he has something else, which might get in the way of having an air. We'll tell you about it coming up. And Amika insurance, we know it's not just about where you're going.

But who you go with? That's why we work even harder to protect what matters most. And as a mutual insurance company, we're built for our customers and prioritize your needs.

I'm talking to the people closest to the biggest issues happening in your community and around the world. Because I know deep down inside right now, we are all cursing and asking what the bleep is going on. I'm talking to people like Julie K. Brown, who broke the explosive story on Jeffrey Epstein in 2018. These victims have been let down time and time again. For decades and decades and decades by local law enforcement, by federal law enforcement, by administration after administration.

The Justice Department, through I think we counted for presidential administrations, failed these victims. Listen to Bleep with Anna Navarro as part of the Microtuda Podcast Network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hola, I'm Cristian Chavez, host of the new Podcasts of Swelta Love. In each episode, I try to do something radically simple. To build a hard-to-hard connection with my guest, I talk with people who have shaped me and inspired me. Like Eren DiRibarra, Madden Braimers, or Maita Perrom. You'll hear conversations about fashion, relationships, HIV, as well as inspiring stories from the LGBTQ plus community. And so much more. Listen to Swelta Love on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or whatever you get your podcast. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM640. We are on from three to six every day and after six John Cobalt show on demand.

Yes, that's the podcast. Moistline is 877 Moist86, 877 Moist86, or the iHeartRadio app, as well. They got a talk back feature thing. All right, now we discussed Moistaba Hameini. That you say is name you knew how to say is name there. Moistaba. That's right. Moistaba. And we talked last week, there was a story. Now, I don't know if some of these things are propaganda or it's true, but the propaganda is entertaining. Now, there's been reports that he got hit in the missile attack and he lost a leg and he's in a coma. And then there's another report saying he actually the missile missed him because he excused himself from a meeting and walked out of the building and then the missile hit. I didn't know it's true. Now, what's apparently true though is at the age of 56, he did not produce an error, a son for a long time.

And this was a problem. He had a sexual issue and he had to go for like in some kind of enhancement surgery four times. And he was auditioning women. Remember that's where that's where we found out under their version of Islamic law. You can marry for five minutes. Yeah, yeah, or an hour or a day or a week and you try out the wife. And then you throw it at the curb if you don't, you know, she doesn't produce. Yeah. And you know, it's, you know, could be your fault. Well, turned out it was this guy, uh, uh, most, most of by most to buy didn't didn't have the juice to reproduce. Eventually did after four trips to the clinic. Well, here's, uh, here's maybe the real reason he's had trouble. Uh, this really happened, uh, Trump learned last week that according to US intelligence, the new Iranian supreme leader may be gay.

And that's why his father, the Ayatollah, I mean, he didn't think he would be the right guy to rule Iran. This intelligence was, uh, so surprising that Trump started laughing aloud during the briefing, according to sources. And in fact, everybody at, at the meeting thought it was hilarious. And, uh, they haven't stopped laughing about it for days. But wasn't he declared the, I mean, didn't his father say if something happens to me, you were going to be the next guy in command. Uh, I, I don't know. See, he got voted in by what, by the people who weren't killed. Because when that missile hit or missiles hit, right. 40 of them died. So, um, they had to, they had to scrounge around and find a replacement. Okay. So he wasn't the, he wasn't their top choice is what you're getting. No, but he was one of the few guys left. And he's also the son.

And, uh, you know, at the age of 56, he, you know, he was having so much trouble to reproducing. So I don't know which is the cover story. It may be that he just couldn't get worked up for a woman. Because he wasn't attracted to it. It wasn't attracted them. Wasn't, it wasn't his thing. But I didn't think they tolerated that. I thought in Iran, you get the head. I think it's only the women. I don't know. Yeah, I thought I thought the guys are, uh, treated. You can't be open the game in Iran. Probably not. No, that's, uh, um, but I think the stoning is, you know, that, that's a little much stoning. Yeah, really? Right. Just because you can't reproduce. You shouldn't be tied to a tree in stone. Yes. Or if you're gay or you don't, you forget your covering. No, the women or your whatever, whatever the reason is. All the things that they stone women over. Yes. Yeah. I mean, there are people I think should be tied to tree in stone.

Yes. But, but most of the people that are stone there. Yeah. And we're not talking about the pot. No. Well, most of us, uh, has, according to sources. And the California Post has made aggressive sexual overtures. Excuse me. Aggressive sexual overtures to the men caring for him. So he was wounded, according to this story. And he's in the hospital. And he's still horny. And he, yes, whatever guys are assigned to treat his condition. Yeah. Uh, he has, uh, made some really explicit sexual requests. Is this a Rick Jacob situation? Well, I don't know how much he's moving if he's had his leg blown off. I mean, but if he had his leg blown off, you would think that sex would be the last thing on his mind. I don't know. Um, it seems he's under heavy medication.

And maybe that, uh, it took away his inhibitions. Yes. And pain. Um, US bi agencies do not have photographic evidence of most of us. How many sexual attraction to men? But sources say the tip is solid. Uh, from one of the most protected sources that the government has. The tip is solid. I was hoping they're one of you were going to say anything. Can you just let us be guys here? Okay. Uh, uh, sort of said the fact that this was elevated to the highest of high levels in intelligence shows you there's some confidence in this story. It's been whispered about inside a rod since the May 24 helicopter crash. That killed the then president Ibrahim Raezy. Because how many wanted Raezy to be the next supreme leader?

And he didn't want his son to be chosen because he believed his son was gay. And, um, then there was, oh, here's a classified US diplomatic cable from 08. This is in wiki leagues. Describe most taba being treated for impudence in the UK. But they didn't identify what may have caused the condition. Um, he didn't marry till age 30. I didn't get married till 31. And he needed four visits to the UK after a stay of two months his wife became pregnant. God knows what they had to show him to get him going there. It's like, all right, all right. Look at this. Now, quick. There she is. Have at it. We need an air. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM640.

We're on every day from one. No, we're on every day from three until six. And then after six o'clock John Cobalt show on demand, the podcast. Um, you know, we talk a lot about how newsroom is destroying the state of California. Uh, but not enough about who might replace him. And we are. It's so strange because there's so little buzz, so little discussion of his replacement. And whoever becomes the governor. Boy. Why? What a toxic mess. They're going to have to handle here. Is what is it? It's the middle of March. And I guess it's about six weeks away is June 2nd is primary day. And the top two will move on to November because it's pretty obvious. Nobody's going to get 50% of the vote. You have to get like 50% plus one to win outright. So there's about eight major democratic candidates. Actually, when you look at the ballot, it's probably going to be about 40 names.

But there's two Republicans, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco. And then there's about six Democrats who don't have, most of them don't have significant followings. But, you know, they, they're in office, let's say, or they used to be in office. And so they're treated like they have a significant chance and they don't. Um, there's five people in double digits right now. I'm going to use the real clear politics, polling average, his individual polls are subject. You know, those margins of error. So if you take a whole bunch of polls and average them, you might get a closer number to reality. Steve Hilton is on top to Republican at 15% and Eric Swalwell, the top Democrat at 13. And then there's three candidates bunch together at about 11%. Tom Steyer, who's that not billionaire Chad Bianco, the Riverside County Sheriff Republican,

and then Mrs. Potato Head. And they're all at about 11. So Hilton is the, as the advantage overall, Swalwell is in second place. Now, I gave you five names there. There's five more people. But all of them are in low, double, low single digits or they don't register at all. And one of them is Xavier Becerra. Javier Bakaria. He used to be Joe Biden's Secretary of Health and Human Services. He used to be the Attorney General. He thinks he's a big deal, but he's not. Because in the polling average, he's at 4%. Javier Bakaria has really no meaningful support. Nobody carries that he's running for governor. Nobody wants him. And the only one that doesn't realize this is. Javier Bakaria. Yeah. I can't imagine your name to a presidential candidate. That is the peak for a lot of politicians to make it to Washington City, to be in the cabinet meetings.

And his boss didn't know who the hell he was. Javier Bakaria. And I think that was from his original introduction. But he got when Biden nominated. So he's a clown. And he's desperate and he's at 4%. And there's going to be a debate on March 24th. But they decided they're only going to feature six candidates. And and Javier Bakaria didn't make the cut. Javier Bakaria. And he's all pissed off. And what's amazing is I guess California is going to be the last place woke dies. It's going to be the last place where identity politics dies. Because the debate is based, the debate invitation is based on merit. You have a following that shows up significantly enough in the polls. And you have enough in the way of campaign donations that you can run a viable campaign.

Because you can't, you cannot win an election if you have no money. So that's what the criteria was at USA. So listen to this loser who cannot make it unmarried. So he's waving the identity flag. My father used to tell me of the days when he would encounter signs posted outside establishments that read no dogs. Negroes or Mexicans allowed the Sarah wrote in a public letter to the USC president. USC's actions may not seem so transparent, but you've deliberately chosen to selectively filter the voters view of the field of candidates. He's claiming that only people of color has been excluded. And it is true. All the candidates that made the top six are white. But they have a following and they have money and you don't.

And neither does Tony Valar. He's not being allowed to debate. I believe in me. There are a couple of other losers as I'm worth mentioning. But they all happen to be non-white, but it's not the reason to being excluded from the debate. They're excluded from the debate because their name doesn't come up in polling when when the posters call a right to members of the public and say, who do you want to vote for? Here's a list of candidates. Hardly anybody checks their names. They're not interested in these people. These are the losers. And Bakaria thinks it's 2020 that they could say, well, I am Hispanic. And therefore I should get into there is no Hispanic seated in debate just because you respect you have to be Hispanic and. Let's say you got to have 10% of the vote or you got to have the X millions of dollars of donation. That's the criteria. Otherwise, well, why don't have all 40 people on the ballot debating?

And that is the purpose of DEI. So losers can get hired. So people who don't have the goods, who don't have the merit, the credentials, the talents, the brains, they get the job anyway. And Besarah thinks it's 2020 and it's not it's 2026. USC's not doing it that way anymore. And neither is ABC news. So he's whining and complaining and digging up references to all racist signs from the 1950s. It's the 2020s. That era is long gone. Everyone who made that era happen is dead or very old. But that's the squeal of a loser. And Amika insurance, we know it's not just about where you're going. But who you go with? That's why we work even harder to protect what matters most.

Listen to Swelta Love on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You're listening to John Cobalt on Demand from KFI AM640. All right. Now, if I were to ask you, Debra, number one reason you won't go downtown to go shopping or go see a show. What would it be? It would be the homeless. Yeah, there you go.

Number one, homeless. If I asked my wife, and I said, what's the number one reason we don't go downtown anymore to go see a show, or to walk around or to go shopping, she would say the homeless. I will present to you a story in the Los Angeles Times written by Roger Vincent. I don't know. I don't know if Rogers in touch with reality at all. Because I'm looking at a story, and it's about how downtown LA wants to get its shoppers back. And they want to understand San Francisco's secret. Apparently San Francisco may be subsidizing some pop-up stores to kind of get the ball rolling to get some, some pedestrians coming back to do a little shopping. So they're providing help with leases and city permits and insurance and three to six months of free rent. Okay, you got it?

They blame, believe it or not, the COVID-19 pandemic for why people don't go downtown. That was six years ago. That's what I thought. I thought maybe I hit my head. No, well, you may have six years ago, Roger Vincent, we had COVID-19. And a lot of a lot of stores closed down. A lot of offices sent their people home and they haven't come back to the office yet, I guess. So there's a lot less foot traffic and they're not having lunch. They're not having dinner. They're not doing their daily shopping and errands and things. So San Francisco revitalized their downtown a bit with free rent and grants. But what they also did, the mayor went block by block. And they had an organized system to get the homeless encampments off the sidewalks in San Francisco. So somebody tell Roger Vincent and what's left of the editors at the LA Times that it is not the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is crazed, violent, homeless people, mental patients and drug addicts terrifying. Absolutely. Didn't they just have a huge fight? Criminals had some kind of riot and they had poured into it upscale condo building next to crypto. Yeah, that's not me. How many paragraphs? We'll do a little quiz here. Okay. So I read this story and it's and I had to read the whole story because only once was there a mention of anything to do with crime or homelessness. How many paragraphs did it take to get that vague mention? How many paragraphs are in there? Well, there's about 35 paragraphs. I would say 10. That's incorrect. Eric, you want to take a guess how many I'm a paragraphs before they mentioned crime or homelessness? I'm going to guess it's in like the 16th paragraph. All right. All right. Debra says 10. Eric says 16.

31st paragraph. Oh, no. What? I was actually thinking something ridiculous like that, but I said no. And the only reason it's in there is the president of a business association said that if you add businesses while improving public safety, it would create a virtuous cycle. That little half a quote from the head of a business association. That was it. There is nothing else referencing the hundreds, maybe thousands of mental patients that swarmed downtown. There's encampments. There's homeless. There are violent drug addicts. There's poop. There's poop. They're defecating urinating. There's needles. And the Los Angeles Times, according to Roger Vincent, it is a pandemic from six years ago that's causing the downturn.

All right. We come back. Jamie Page from California Post. We are now paying for the homeless to stay in a beach side hotel. Well, they're supposed to be in there. It's still vacant. We've paid $625,000 for each room. And nobody's moved in. And this project has been going on since 2020 as well. This is all our tax money that's being wasted by Karen Bass.
