You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app. Now, we have a packed show today. 1.30, we're going to have senior senior, I can't do it. Every time, every time he comes on. Same thing. Don Mahalek, the senior secret service agent, and he's an ABC News law enforcement contributor. Sunday at State Farm Stadium, Charlie Kirk, will be memorialized. Donald Trump will be there. So will JD Vance and a lot of people in his administration and a lot of Republican Party officials and a lot of celebrity political influencers. And how are they going to do security for this one? I mean, they're talking about a tremendous crowd. We'll talk with Don Mahalik about it. After 2 o'clock, Phil Brock comes on. He formerly was the mayor of Santa Monica until recently. and was on their cancel. And this week we discussed quite a bit about Santa Monica, basically going bankrupt. And the L.A. Times running this absurd story about how, well, you know, the real reason is going to be settlement payouts for a pedophile who molested 180 children. Well, they haven't even started. having started cracking that case. And the Wall Street, the Third Street Promenade is in complete disrepair. Santa Monica Place is about three quarters empty now. They have lost a lot of property tax money and sales tax money, hotel tax money. Tourism is way down. I mean, it's and just just visitors to the city, you know, to go shopping and eating at restaurants is way down. Everything's closing. And nobody wants to admit it's the homeless situation. At least nobody in official Santa Monica government and nobody at the L.A. Times. And, you know, I've said this many times. I'm there almost every day. I have to go there to pass through to other places. There's a few places on the fringe of Santa Monica that I will go and buy stuff or go to eat at. But here's something that happened today. I want to tell you this story. And this is the root of all the progressive, the progressive inflicted problems here in Los Angeles, Southern California, Santa Monica. the refusal to do the obvious thing. I'm driving on my bagel run this morning. I come to an intersection. Straight ahead of me is a home. Really nice home. Made a stone. They have a low stone wall in front of the residence. And you go to the left and it's all residential buildings. Single family homes. To the right.

There's a business district. And I'm just taking a cut through street, and I'm making a left turn. And this is in Santa Monica. And as I stop at the stop sign, before I make the left, I see a homeless guy, a weird, disgusting homeless guy sitting on a low stone wall. And boy, does he have a load of possessions. I don't remember if it was a shopping cart, but it was lots of bags. It was lots of stuff. He must have had a cart of some kind. No way you could carry that by yourself. And he had taken root on the wall, on the front wall of this family's residence. The lawn was right behind him. There was no particular security gate or anything. And he's acting agitated. And he's waving his arms. And he's looking upset. And he's talking to imaginary people. If you were walking down the block, you might not see him until you were there because there was, I think, some kind of hedges, some kind of wall. So it would block the view as you were walking south. Him on your right. So if you walk by him, you'd jump out of your clothing. He'd scare the hell out of you. And there's schools nearby. There could be kids walking to school. They have a big shopping center nearby. And there he is. I'm thinking, well, this is, this is frightening. I'm going to call 911, and I do. And here's what happened. I call 911. And I get. A snotty woman on the phone, a 911, I said, yeah, there's a homeless guy sitting on a wall. He's on somebody's residential property. And I explained everything I just explained to you. Well, how is he behaving? I go, he's agitated, he's waving his arms, he's on somebody's private property. Well, what are you upset about? that he's there? Well, you're more upset that he's on someone's private property or about his behavior? I guess it was just the private property. She's not interested. I said, well, both he's on someone's private property and his behavior is threatening. It's medicine. Well, what's threatening and menacing about it? Does he have a weapon? I don't know if he has a weapon. She was so snotty and accusatory. And this is the training? This is the handbook they get at Santa Monica, the 911 Center. I'm getting interrogated. I'm trying to help you out here. Just in case this guy is capable of doing to some school kid what the homeless guy in Charlotte did to that poor woman on the train, here's a tip. He looks like a lunatic. In no other place in the country, outside of these progressive cities, at no other time in history, would somebody calling this to 911 be treated this way? I was treated like I had done something wrong. Well, do you want us to send someone out? Well, of course I do. What do you think I was lonely and I'm making conversation? Well, do you want to be called back afterwards?

And I thought, yeah, just to see if you follow through. Okay. So now here I am. I did that at 7.15 this morning. And I am waiting for the callback, waiting for a text, waiting for something. And here at 7.54, I get this message. You contacted the city of Santa Monica. At 7.46 a.m. No, I contacted the city of Santa Monica at actually 7 a.m. I know because I was listening to the KFI news. I was listening to Amy King. She was in the middle of her newscast. So the police didn't get the message for 45 minutes. Then they sent me the message again. Then it asked me to. fill out a form with my feedback. Then it just goes on and on here. Thank you for your call to the city of Santa Monica. That's what all these messages say. One of these messages says, we apologize for the delay due to heavy call volume. Our staff is currently handling other calls for service. We will respond to your call as soon as possible. Well, this is in the 9 o'clock hour. They're two hours late. They're two hours late, and they're telling me due to the heavy call volume. What heavy call volume? At 7 a.m., there's nothing going on in the city. Unless all of these homeless people are starting fires, that might be true. I never got a call back. And then by 7, 938, well, Santa Monica responded to your call, police personnel. They searched your area for the incident, but we're unable to locate the incident or the persons. Well, right, because you're two and a half hours late. So he could have already killed or molested many people by now. What's wrong with them? What is wrong with them? Why do people put up with this? I don't have. No, what do people don't call in? I bet you there's a lot of people going, yeah, that's what I got. That's what I got. You call in because maybe there's, you know, a burglar in the area. Maybe there's a homeless guy, crazy person. Well, well, what's he doing? I mean, is he a threat? Why do you think he's a threat? How's he acting? Is he just because he's on somebody's problem? I guarantee you growing up in my neighborhood. If this guy was on somebody's property, well, first of all, the dads would have beaten the pulp out of him. But they would have called the police, and the police would not have asked any questions. They would have shown up, throw him in the back of the car, and take him to a mental institution or jail. And so nobody had these problems when we were growing up. But this is Santa Monica. This is L.A. too.

I just eventually they sent me a message that corrected the time that, yeah, here it is, 704 a.m. I called. I don't know what to say. I don't know what's going on. But I know these guys are all over the place. There's hundreds, thousands of them. But instead of showing up and taking him away, I get an argument with the crazy lady from 911. Why would I call 911? I'm going through an interrogation. When these people get arrested, they don't go through an interrogation. I get the interrogation. I get the suspicion. I get, well, it's not like, you really want to do this? Are you really going to make a sense somebody else? Oh, you want us to call you now and tell you what happened? I just. There's no way to run a city, a state, a county, a police department, a 911. This is absolutely absurd. Absurd. And then, you know, hey, look, when the guy climbs into your window in your bedroom and does God knows what, we're warning you. You're listening to John Cobalt on demand from KFI AM 640. Coming up after 130, Don Mahalik, Secret Service agent retired, who is on with us frequently. He's the ABC News legal analyst. He's going to describe what the tremendous security is going to be like at the stadium in Arizona for Charlie Kirk's memorials. That's coming up after 130. You know, it is unbelievable. how now the news media does not just slant a story. They just flat out refused to tell you the truth or to tell you what happened. It's beyond bias here. It's beyond propaganda. They just pretend something doesn't exist, such as the LA Times article on why Santa Monica is going in the toilet. They did not address... homelessness, which is the overwhelming reason, beginning and end of the story, is out of control mental patients and out of control drug addicts. Now, in the Charlie Kirk case, everybody who's paid any attention yesterday saw that Charlie Kirk's assassin was a gay kid who had a male... boyfriend who was in transition to being a girl and he was also a furry. And he, Travis, I'm sorry, Tyler Robinson wrote texts to his partner about how more or less he couldn't take Charlie's hate anymore. And made it clear that that's the reason he killed Charlie Kirk. He didn't like what Kirk was saying. about trans and all the other related issues. The news was out there. And still, Kaitlan Collins from CNN, who hosts a show every night, she looks like your annoying high school class president, had Ted Cruz on and wouldn't admit that they found the motive. And the motive was,

Tyler Robinson being angry with Charlie Kirk's stance on trans issues. Play this clip. You're not even, we're not even arguing about the facts here. What you just said is false. Senator, Caitlin. No. Caitlin. Facts. Hold on a second. Let me answer your statement because what you said is factually false. Senator, with all due respect, law enforcement, you're putting a lot of statements that I did not say. And I want to get back to, we just laid out the facts. You just said law enforcement has not not made out a motive. That is objectively false. They have not said a concrete motive of exactly what it was. And CNN should not be engaged in misinformation. She said they don't have a motive. Well, you have a motive. And by the time this thing ran last night, the whole world knew what the motive was. It was all over the media. It was all over social media. And it was obvious anyway. But she comes out and says, well, they don't have the motive. And Cruz rightly just said, you know, that's objectively false. That's crazy. Why are they doing that? They don't want. It's not good for the progressive movement to have another transgender kid committing a murder. Oh, I mean, there's been, there's been about a half a dozen of them. Little out of proportion to the size of the population, don't you think? Then you had this. ABC News reporter Matt Gutman. He's giving a report. about the texts from the Charlie Kirk assassination, right? And remember, Tyler Robinson and this other guy, Lance Twigs, had a romantic relationship. And so listen to Matt Gutman describe the personal text between Robinson and Twigs. We have seen an alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it, but also it was very touching in a way that I think many of us didn't expect, a very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate who was transitioning, calling him my love, and I want to protect you, my love. duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardize the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So very interesting, and as Pierre said, riveting press conference, David. Touching. He's reading texts from a cold-blooded assassin. Guy stood on a roof in front of a crowd of 3,000 people and shot a guy in the carotid artery of his neck and wiped him out. He's apologized today. Later on in the hour, I'll read you the apology. But the knee jerk from Kate and Susan Collins is to pretend that there wasn't a trans issue that was the motive for the killing.

And then Matt Gutman's gut reaction to looking at the assassin's text was, well, that was very loving and touching what he was writing to his partner. You see, you go by their first impulse there. When we come back, security is going to be gigantic in Arizona for this Charlie Kirk Memorial. We're going to have Don Mahalek on. The Secret Service agent retired. And he's the ABC News analyst.

This Sunday is going to be the Charlie Kirk Memorial at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, just outside Phoenix, home of the Phoenix Cardinals NFL team, and President Trump, Vice President Vince, and many of his members of his administration will be there. A lot of Republican political officials and political influencers. And it's expected to draw enormous crowds, as you can tell by the outpouring of grief. and defiance, really, over the last week after the shooting. Don Mahalik is the retired senior Secret Service agent who also works as ABC News law enforcement contributor, and he's going to come on with us. Don, it's good to have you on again. Nice, John. What are they going to be doing for security here? Because the capacity of the stadium, obviously. must be something like, I don't know, 60, 70,000, if not more. And they're probably going to get many, many more people just showing up at the venue.

Yeah, so the Secret Service has an advanced process that they'll put into place. They're probably on the ground, and they've probably been on the ground for a couple days, and they'll work with the host committee and their state local county to kind of figure out the outlines of the security, and they cover all the bases, transportation, access control, air coverage, cyber coverage, once in the event space, what that's going to look like. And they'll put those plans together, different individuals working on different pieces of the plan, and then I'll come over with the entire security architecture, including the, you know, the president arriving, the VP arriving, and the Secret Service protectives ingress and egress out of the site. That will all come together as the Secret Service does and has done all over the world. They've done large stadiums all over the world. So this is not a new thing for them. It's just a matter of resourcing it and time. They'll bring in extra resources as they get closer to the event because one of the things they have to do before they even start is sweep the stadium to make sure the stadium is clear of any threats. And then once they sweep the stadium and it's clear of threats, they have to hold the stadium. And then once they hold the stadium, they'll have to set up the access control points to allow people to come in, which is why. People are being told to show up at 8 a.m. to get into an event that starts, I think, 11 o'clock or noon. So that gap in time is for that access control piece. We'll also be on the lookout for individuals showing up that may cause a disruption, whether it's individuals that have been identified as a potential threat, or have had an unusual direction of interest towards the Secret Service protectees, or maybe the event itself, or... People potentially come there to cause a problem and create a disturbance in the event because you don't want that to happen to with an event like this. So all those pieces will come together to create a secure environment for the president and the other officials there and also for the public because the Secret Service and its counterparts have to also ensure that the public also is kept safe. They've had three Super Bowls at this stadium over the last 17 years or so, and obviously all post 9-11. So the Secret Service and all the other security agencies, law enforcement, they're not unfamiliar with how to handle this particular venue. They must have blueprints from the Super Bowls that they've been able to, that they'll be able to follow. True. They'll be able to pull out or refer to previous security plans, but they'll do the process from scratch because they'll want to make sure that all eyes are dotted, teaser crossed, that there wasn't anything missed. And also with the president and the other VIPs coming, they have to account for that protecting movement in and out of the stadium. And they're also accounting for threats and individuals that perhaps you would be dealing with at a Super Bowl. So they have to worry about that as well. So those are pieces of the event that generally speaking, the Super Bowl doesn't necessarily have to worry about that they have to account for in a run-up to the event. And how do you control, how do I put this? How do you account for the wild cards?

I mean, you know, because you can control the ingress into the stadium, right? Everybody will have a ticket. You'll have metal detectors to see if they're carrying anything, damaging on them. But just, you know, the weird out of left field stuff. I mean, do they have these sessions where they try to imagine what could somebody do? How would they do it? Especially in this kind of supercharged atmosphere? How do you prepare for the unthinkable? Well, so you always plan for the wild cards, small and big. And one of the things people will see in and around a stadium is a... Pretty heavy, significant secret service and law enforcement presence positioned throughout the stadium. They're probably going to tap in a National Guard, too, because of the size of the stadium. And also there'll be a physical security presence all throughout the stadium throughout where people are seated. So they'll see that. And those are the eyes and ears and the reporting structure if a wild card happens, if a spontaneous protest breaks out, or if somebody, you know, people start chanting ludicrous things there. That's all built into the plant to have a, for lack of a better term, a notification process and then a react force that can come in. And if people need to be removed, they can be removed. And what do you do about bombs, about, you know, people smuggling stuff in their cars? You can't really go through every car, can you? I mean... Well, it all depends. So it depends on the event, depends on the security architecture they put in place for the event. But in some events, they will sweep cars as they come near the event site depending on, again, what they're doing in that particular event site. So it really depends on how they put the security architecture together. I'm pretty sure. And if they don't sweep the cars coming in, they may have... sweeping the parking lot as the event is building and running canines and other technical assets through the parking lot to detect these kind of things and to sort of, and that way if somebody does happen to bring something in a car, they can detect it sooner rather than later. I know Trump has alluded to wanting to investigate a lot of activist groups, left-wing groups that might have been part of the plot or might empathize or cheer what happened to Charlie Kirk. That's another factor, right, that somehow one of these groups will infiltrate in order to further the damage. And I imagine that they are, FBI is probably monitoring these kinds of groups now. I would think that anybody that is saying negative, disgusting, violent things about Kirk is on somebody's radar and they're monitoring them. And for the secret service, those that have popped, let's say, the loudest and the brightest, they're going to be on a look at for these individuals coming to the event site. And if they're identified, they will be interdicted. They'll be questions. And they'll make a determination whether the individual is coming just to attend the event.

or whether they're going to cause a problem. That's absent, of course, if somebody has a criminal history, that's another issue. All right. Don, Mahalik, thank you for coming on. Thanks, John. Thanks for having me. All right, ABC News, law enforcement contributor and a retired senior secret service agent. When we come back, I mentioned before, we played you a little clip of this ABC News reporter and his strange description. of the killer's loving texts to his trans partner as he took responsibility for the killing. We're going to read you as apology coming up next. And this same reporter five years ago filed an extremely upsetting and erroneous report regarding the Kobe Bryant crash. I'll tell you about that. So this guy has a history of just being bad at his job, but he's one of the top national correspondents for ABC. It's really strange. You're listening to...

I played a little while back, the ABC news reporter Matt Gutman, who was reading texts from the Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. And he called him very touching. If he's just joining us, I'm going to play it again. Play Cup 3 again. We have seen an alleged murder with such specific text messages about the alleged murder weapon, where it was hidden, how it was placed, what was on it, but also it was very touching in a way that I think many of us didn't expect, a very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect's roommate and the suspect himself with him repeatedly calling his roommate who is transitioning, calling him my love, and I want to protect you, my love. duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardize the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And in the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner. So a very interesting, and as Pierre said, riveting press conference data. You believe that? Tyler Robinson was writing to his trans partner. And because of the way Robinson perceived Charlie Kirk's views, he thought it was appropriate to assassinate Charlie Kirk in front of Kirk's wife and children and thousands of other attendees. And then reported on what happened back to the partner in a very touching, loving way. That's an ABC News reporter, Matt Gutman. So he posted this today. Yesterday, I tried to underscore the jarring contrast between this cold-blooded assassination of Charlie Kirk, a man who dedicated his life to public dialogue, and the personal disturbing texts read aloud by the Utah County attorney at the press conference. Yeah, but.

The Utah County District Attorney did not call them deeply touching. I deeply regret that my words did not make that clear. But let there be zero doubt here. I unequivocally condemn this horrific crime and the pain had caused Charlie Kirk's family, those who were forced to witness it at UVU and the millions of people he inspired. That's not much of an apology. He deeply regrets his words, did not make it clear. It made it clear that this reporter was quite emotional. He thought it was such a wonderful, loving message that the Tyler Robinson sent. But the reason he killed Kirk is because he had a trans partner and he was utter defending his honor. And then... Somebody posted under Gutman's alleged apology, a replay of what Matt Gutman did on January 26th, 2020. He was here in Los Angeles. Remember this? Today, I inaccurately reported it was believed that four of Kobe Bryant's children were on board that flight. When the helicopter crashed into the mountain? That is incorrect. I apologize to Kobe's family, friends, and our viewers. So he wrongly, he wrongly reported that four of Kobe's kids had died in that crash. It was one, which obviously horrific.
