Speaker 1 (00:00):
I Am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We're on every day from
one until four and then after four o'clock John Cobelt
Show on demand on the iHeart app. All right, because
we came off the holiday weekend, there's been a lot
of vacancy on the Moist line. So you can be
a part of it. You have a chance in a
way you've never had before. You could get on KFI
(00:26):
on our show and you will be heard, and you
might be influencing millions of KFI and John Cobett listeners.
That can happen. So call eight seven seven Moist eighty
six eight seven seven Moist daty six or usually talkback
feature on the iHeartRadio app. We're gonna have Katie Grimes
on in just a few seconds. Here. Katie'swith californiaglobe dot
(00:50):
Com and she's got a piece and it's something we've
been talking about throughout the show. Somehow, somehow, LA taxpayers
have to pay for Kamala Harris's security because she's timed
out on Secret Service protection. You're only supposed to get
it for six months. Biden had extended it, but Trump
(01:12):
cut it short and now LAPDA is giving her twenty
four to seven protection. And I want to thank Daniel Guss,
who's a journalist in town here, and according to him,
we are paying for twenty four to seven security and
their travel and over time for travel. And he points
(01:34):
out that Kamala has never been a city employee. So
why are La City taxpayers paying for a woman's security
when she has never worked for the city. She and
her husband are worth about eight million dollars, that's their
net worth. She's working for a publishing company that takes
in a billion a year in revenue. Let's bring this
(01:56):
all this outrage to Katie Grimes from californiaglobe dot com. Katie,
are you hey, John, I'm great, How are you? I'm fine?
This outrage is really this is nuts. Now, how did
it end up that Karen Bassis authorized this? Gavin Newsom
said he was going to send CHP officers to provide
(02:18):
the security. And that's bad enough.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Yeah that as of my article yesterday morning at seven
point fifteen, that's where I left it, it was supposed
to be CHP officers again, which is bad enough that
the California taxpayers would have to put that bill. Kamala
Harris is a private citizen. Now, she received eight months
of additional Secret Service protection, which is two months more
(02:43):
than kind of the kindness of our hearts six months protection.
And that was after President Joe Biden extended her Secret
Service protection to eighteen months, along with Hunter Biden and
Ashley Biden. So I mean all kinds of shenanigans taking.
I think this is absolutely outrageous. I was going to
suggest that the California Taxpayers Association file a class action
(03:07):
lawsuit against the governor, the state, the HP, etc. Now
I think the LA Taxpayers Association should file a lawsuit
against the mayor against the city. This is unbelievable. It
is outrageous and frankly, if Kamala Harris feels that she
needs private security so badly, she can either pay it
(03:27):
out of her pocket or get her donors to pay
for it.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes, her donors or her publisher who that publishing company
is worth billions of dollars. Knew some claims she's entitled.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Right because she's a dignitary. Don't you know She's probably
one of the least dignitary type of people. I think
I've ever encountered in my life. But again, when you
think about private sector dignitaries, they pay for their own
private security, they hire for navy seals, they hire former cops.
(04:04):
This is such an abusive government once again by Kamala Harris,
by Gavin Newsom, who thinks that they are the you know,
the international elite class and that the taxpayers should pay
for everything.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
And.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Continuing his pattern of running every argument through the lens
of his obsession with Trump, He's claiming that it was
politically motivated. So is Karen Bass politically well, I know,
even if it is revenge, even if it is motivated,
she still is not entitled to the protection.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
And that's the point. So as I did a little
bit of research, which isn't hard. By statute, vice presidents
and their families received Secret Service protection only while in office.
So there's a standard six month grace period which you
know of late the last you know, ten twenty years.
(05:00):
Vice presidents and their immediate families, particularly if they have
minor children, can get an additional six months kind of
as a grace period to allow them to you know,
meld themselves back into the private sector. So again that's
by statute. It is very specific. They are only to
receive Secret Service protection while in office. So again you
(05:24):
can I'm just livid about this. This is such that,
this is such Gavin Newsom slipping a bird at all
of us. That is what he thinks of the taxpayers,
that the cash cow that he avails himself of whenever
he has a whim. And this is a whim.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
And the state is wildly over budget. LA is basically bankrupt.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Of course, Yes, a billion dollars plus that they're admitting
to I heard it was more like two billions.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm sure it is.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Which is unbelievable. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You know, this is.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
This is such again, I think just the outrage is
what we need to It is such thank you. I
couldn't come up with that, John, It is garbage.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Got I've got other words, but we'll go with that. Yes,
it's nonsense, Yes, yes, we do.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I was stumbling there on which words it is. It
is such an outrage, and it is such an abuse
of power, such an abuse of the privilege of holding
public office. It's supposed to be a privilege to serve
the public. How is this serving the freaking public?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
She should be embarrassed to take tax money knowing how
wealthy she is, how how wealthy Simon and Schuster is.
Newsome should pay for his for her security if he
cares so much exactly the whole.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
You know, politicians are supposed to consider how they can
improve the lives of the people who voted for them.
Where does this fit into that?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Not at all.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Again, these people think that government is there for their use.
This is how they propel their lives into the status
of the rich and famous and elite.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
All right, Katie, Well, you keep on top of this
here because I learned something there. I I I because
you know most of the news articles don't print this. Clearly,
the law says she's only entitled it as long as
she's vice president. So she's already she already got a
six month break. That's that's a great she's not the
(07:41):
eight month break, and she's not entitled to the eight months.
And now she's getting greedy and she wants more than
eight months, and she won't pay for it. Why do
you should do a go fund me to fill the gap? Here?
There you go? Yeah, yeah, and you're right. They all
have access to donor, so we'll give them tens of
millions of dollars. Now, go ahead, sorry, right, And this
(08:03):
is why.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
The people in Pacific Palisades can't build their homes also,
and that's the city is being so cooperative.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I mean this, this should outrage those people, probably more
than anybody in the country.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Katie, thank you for coming on.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Thanks Jean, good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Katiegringe, California Globe dot com. We will continue coming up.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Remember moistlines tomorrow, twenty four hours from now, we're gonna
be We're gonna have dead air. We're gonna be playing
like a test signal. People fell asleep over the Labor
Day weekend. One eight seven seven moist eighty six. That's
the number. Eight seven seven moist eighty six. Leave your
offering to us. Oh right, this I cannot believe this story,
(08:58):
and all the usual political deadheads have jumped right in
to try to pump this up. Last we saw US
Senator Alex Padilla. He was faced down on the ground.
The dope had burst into Christy Nome's press conference here
(09:22):
in LA during all the insanity, the ice, insanity, didn't
identify himself, wasn't wearing a suit, wasn't wearing a scented pin.
Just started bellowing from the back of the room, GNOME security,
and we were not We LA taxpayers were not paying
for NOME security. They picked up Padias carcass and just
(09:44):
shoved him to the ground out in the hallway. Now
he may be running for governor. This guy is suddenly
considered a serious candidate for governor. Here's his big moment, falasy.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Hands up, hands up, center six.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I have questions for the secretary because the fact of
the matter is half a.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Dozen filing criminals. That's your roup hitting on your.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah, there's the governor on the ground, on the grounds,
your back, My hands going right behind my back, all right, cool,
he's on the ground.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
But other hand, certain other hand.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well, he's considered a hot gubernatorial candidate if he wants
to run. Series here when he was trying to get
Numb's attention, I mean he was, he was. He was
said he's crying. Uh. Padilla would be a formidable candidate.
(11:08):
See the rumors going around that he's going to run
for governor because the current the current crop of candidates
is so bad even most of the Democratic elite agree this.
This is a bad group. I mean, the top candidate
is Missus potato Head, Katie Porter. Tony Vallares got like
(11:33):
four percent of the vote. I think I believe in me. Yeah,
I guess they're the most well known Missus potato Head
and Tony Vallar where.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
The women are guys.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So so here's aj Mohan, a Democratic political consultant. Padilla
would be a formidable candidate. I'm sure folks worried about
the current state of the race. You could potentially have
a governor who's harder to work with. Padilla would have
a field clearing effect second to none. Say he thinks
of Alex pidea as he's running for governor. All the
(12:05):
other candidates would clear out. They're so intimidated by this guy.
Play at the beginning of that clip. Again, intimidated by this.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I'm Senator Alex.
Speaker 5 (12:20):
I have questions for the secretary because the fact of
the matter is a dozen filing criminals that.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
You're hitting on your.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Yeah, there you go. They'd be afraid of that. Dan
Schner teaches political messaging at USC and UC Berkeley. Political messaging.
Thet's say, interesting business uh brings Podia brings a level
of visibility and recognition that would make him the candidate
to beat. Is that right, Am I insane? I must
have gone insane. Right, they're not insane. I'm insane, right, correct?
(12:59):
I should be rolled up in bubble wrap. I can't,
so I can't harm myself for anybody else. Wow. The
(13:21):
thing is, I don't remember anything Alex Padilla has ever
done in his life until he got thrown to the ground.
Honest to god, I don't remember anything. I know. I
think he was the city council president, which shows you
why Los Angeles is the toilet that it is. But yeah,
go ahead, run, that'll be fun. That'll be a great time. Okay,
(13:44):
By the way, is there anybody normal running? Anybody good
when we come back? You know about that terrible story
up in Minneapolis, right where the school children got shot,
And it's this transgender woman guy becoming a woman, and
you know his his he was I described this, but
(14:07):
he feels like he got brainwashed into becoming a woman.
And he had all kinds of wild, violent, angry things
that he posted online. Well, he has identified the root
of his suffering. It was his girlfriend, and his girlfriend
(14:28):
was a furry not making this up. He recently dumped
his longtime girlfriend. Well, I'll tell you what he was
angry about. It wasn't just that she wore furry costumes.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
We're on every day from one until four and after
four o'clock John Cobelts Show on demand on the iHeart app. Hey,
you see what happened Joe Biden's head?
Speaker 6 (15:01):
I saw that picture.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
He's got this big gash in his head that's been
all stitched up, a lot of stitches, and the New
York Post is putting it on the front of their website.
That took a picture of him a few days ago.
It might be a skin cancer procedure.
Speaker 6 (15:25):
Oh, I just assumed he fell.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
That's what I thought as well. Yeah. According to one
of his representatives, Biden underwent something called Moe's surgery. Mohs,
I don't know what that is. It's a procedure used
to treat skin cancer. So they took a big chunk
out of his head and stitched it up, and he's
walking around with these bandages, but looks like it looks
(15:53):
like somebody that's a big chunk he took out there.
Speaker 7 (15:57):
I'm going to have a junk of something taken out
under my arm tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Oh that you know? That's right? Well you told me
off the air.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
But it's it's pre melanoma underneath my armpit. So I'm
going in to make sure that they got everything. So
I guess they scoop, They scoop stuff out, they go
and they take it to the lab.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
They make sure that there's no cells.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
But it's melody in your armpit, pre melanoma. Yeah, under
your armpit. Did you used to tan your armpits?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
No?
Speaker 7 (16:33):
I did not, And so the doctor said that this
is very rare, as well as when you have this
at the bottom of your foot.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
It could be genetic.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Although I don't know a single family member that has melanoma.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
In their pits. Yeah, I mean, it wouldn't come up
thought Thanksgiving dinner. Nobody can talk about it.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
You wouldn't. But of course this happens to me.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That that is weird. I've never heard it. I may
have heard of melanoma in pre melanoe night now, but.
Speaker 7 (17:02):
Uh, when I found that out right before I left
for Italy, John literally the night before I left for Italy.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh so something did happen vacation.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
But it wasn't what you thought. I knew you were
going to say.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
And that doesn't affect anybody else, It only affects me.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
But it was something. It's like when you got COVID
coming back from Mexico. True.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Yeah, but other people could have gotten COVID from me.
As you said many times, no one's going to get
anything from this except me.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Because he went on the plane.
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Okay, we don't have to go back to them. That's
old news.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Okay, all right, but you'll get it taken care of tomorrow. Yeah,
well tomorrow. They're just looking to see if if there
was anything extra.
Speaker 7 (17:49):
I had a biopsy many weeks ago, never heard anything,
assumed everything was okay. The night before I was leaving
for Italy, I get a missed call.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
It was already after hours. They'd already left. Uh, we
need to.
Speaker 7 (18:02):
Talk to you about your biopsy results. And so I
called the emergency line. I said, are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (18:07):
You're leaving me a message after hours where I can't get.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
A hold of you. I'm leaving.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I'm going out of the country tomorrow and now I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
So they called me.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Back right away because I sounded like a lunap.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I'm sure, so.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
They have to do.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
It's called an excision.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
Yeah, I know, I was mad.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Yeah, you got a recording of that anywhere?
Speaker 6 (18:26):
No, I would never give you that never.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
All right, now, this God, this this, this happened when
I was on vacation. Were you here? You were here
last week when this happened. Huh, this Minneapolis year really bad,
this transgender thing. Uh Man becoming a woman, Robin Westman
and flaming his that he was brainwashed into changing his sexuality.
(18:56):
And he went back to I guess his old school
and shot through the stained glass windows of the church
connected to it. Kids were going to mass killed, two,
injured eighteen others. And they're looking at all his violent,
crazy videos and all his weird writings, and they have
(19:19):
found that. He says one of the catalysts was he
broke up with his girlfriend, angry over her blue hair
and pronouns not making this up. And twenty two year
old Abigail Botic she was a furry. She's on social
(19:43):
media wearing cat ears and whiskers. Furries are people who
dress up as furry animals like stuffed animals, and they're
like that all day. And he said Abby was the
catalyst for the shootings, the root of my suffering. He wrote.
(20:04):
I like feelings. This is what he wrote. I like
feeling sexy and cute, but my face never matches how
I feel. I hate my face. Maybe that's why I
like furries so much. You can give yourself a new
body or face, but I'm not spending my life with
a blue hair and pronouns B word. You're lucky. I
have bigger plans than you. And then he went off
(20:25):
about how he nearly shot her but decided to stick
to his plan. All right, we come back. Oh, this
just came through. Channel seven had this story. We're going
to tell you about it. It looks like people are
sick of all the fires in the Supulvida Basin in
(20:47):
the Encino area. Do you know they have one almost
every day.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
There's been like self hundred since the beginning of the year.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah. Yeah, these are the homeless people. These are the
homeless people that Karen will not get out of the
Supulvta Basin even though they're setting hundreds of fires every year.
Tell you about it. When we come back.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
You're listening to John cobelts on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
John cobelt Conway's up in minutes and we'll be releasing
the podcast shortly after four o'clock as well. We're going
to do more on this tomorrow. There's been over seven
hundred reported fires in the Supulvita Basin. Channel seven has
done a story on this in the last year and
(21:37):
a half. Seven hundred fires in the last year and
a half. Can you imagine we live in a city
where at least one fire every day gets called in
from the same section. It's a park area. There are
numerous vagrants that live there, dozens hundreds, I don't know.
Karen Bass refuses to get rid of them. It's we
(22:01):
already had a devastating fire that destroyed the palisades that
she doesn't care about. Didn't care about. She doesn't care
about seven hundred fires. Well, the people in Encino do,
the people in the valley. There's out here two hundred
to three hundred homeless people living in the Supulvita Basin.
(22:27):
According to the Encino Neighborhood Council President Ryan Newazer, they're
living in the middle of a tinder box, meaning the vagrants.
There's a lot of brush and dry vegetation there. There
are hundreds of fires, seven hundred. What kind of crazy
freaking world are we in where the mayor ignores seven
(22:47):
hundred fires from the same section of the city and
lets three hundred vagrants live there who are all mentally
ill and whacked out on drugs. So all the neighborhoods,
it's a densely populated set of neighborhoods around the Supulvida
Basin and everybody they could be like the Palisades, not
(23:13):
that she'd care. The hell? Why does she exist? Why
is she the mayor? Why isn't any Why hasn't there
been a full blown revolt? I took seven hundred fires.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Maybe after the first seventy, the in Senio Neighborhood Council
had a public safety meeting beating and they were yelling
at the city officials and listen to this, the LA
Fire Department Deputy Chief Jamie Moore, I want to bring
(23:46):
some comms to the room because I could feel the
tension all the way up here. We need to get
everybody to the table. We don't have to get everybody
to the table. Of course you should feel Oh, I
feel tension. Let's calm things down. No, nobody should calm down.
Everybody should scream louder. Everybody should pound the table even louder.
Scream until their ears bleed. Get the freaking vagrants out
(24:10):
of there immediately. They have no right to live there,
Supreme Court said, so, no right to live there. That's
our land, taxpayer paid land, that's our parkland there. They
have no right to live there and start fires every day,
and in danger and the fire the deputy chief goes, oh,
let's let's slower the temperature. Let's calm things down. I
(24:33):
feel the tension. Damn right, you better feel the tension.
The tension. Try living with three hundred people who start
fires every day. Who are these people? You can't even
get a fire chief to talk sense. The police chiefs
and the fire chiefs now talk the same nonsense as
(24:53):
the progressive politicians. They're all so fearful, they're all scared.
Isn't she's to tell the truth. Karen Vass defunded the
fire department. We only have half a fire department, and
they spend much of their time chasing homeless fires. Seven hundred.
(25:17):
LAPD is not responsible for removing the homeless do it anyway?
That would be park staff rangers. But park rangers are
short staffed. Oh stop it, stop with the excuses, and
they don't they don't clear the brush. In the last
(25:38):
three weeks, the city cleared one acre of brush, but
there's five hundred and ninety nine additional acres. But it's progress,
says Channel seven. Albeit slow. Yeah, what who the hell
wrote this story? Who did this story? Tim Capudo? What
(25:59):
they do? One acre at a six hundred? That's progress?
It is slow? Oh, this is system And why can't
why can't the police department remove the homeless? Park staff rangers? Well,
they're not doing their jobs. So maybe we need martial
law with Trump. You know, maybe we need the National
Guard here to clean out that park. Might as well
(26:23):
might as well send the Marines in there, because none
of the morons running this city are going to do it.
Can't even rely on the fire chiefs of the police chiefs.
All right, we'll do a lot on this tomorrow. Let's
see Michael Kerzer is the newest Conway is next? Michael's
live in the CAFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've
been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You can
