Speaker 1 (00:00):
There is a breaking news out of Washington every few seconds,
and usually there is the word judge attached to it.
Judge to block. Latest is judge to block. The Trump
administration has planned to put the twenty two hundred US
AID workers on leave. This is a federal judge ordering
an immediate halt to key aspects of the effort to
(00:23):
dismantle that US agency. So the Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
it's going to place twenty two hundred employees of that
agency on leave in a matter of hours. But a
judge has interceded. There's a lot of that going on.
Now it goes to the court what you can do
legally and what you can meantime, there is what I
(00:47):
would consider it almost a troll of what's happening with
this Time magazine cover. Elon Musk is on the cover
of Time magazine and he's at the resolute desk, you know,
where the president should be in the Oval Office. And
Trump was asked about this as he's there with the
(01:10):
Japanese Prime Minister. He's asked to react to the cover
of Time magazine and this picture of Musk behind the
desk where he is doing all the executive orders signing
mister President.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
General reaction to the new Time magazine cover that has
Iuron musk sitting behind your resolute desk, Muskoga.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's the best part of it, that that she's translating this,
you know, so that the Prime Minister from Japan can understand.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Muskoga, is Time magazine still in business?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's a great answer, man. I'm sorry, that is a
great answer. In fact, that was my response, Like that
was relevant maybe twenty years ago when Time magazine was everywhere,
But now I think it's just like a trolling of
Trump that you know, could be on x or it
could be on you know, threads or Blue Sky, anyone
(02:20):
of the Facebook, whatever you pick your social media platform. Yeah,
I don't know. I've also heard, Oh, it's the kind
of thing that would really bother him. Really, I don't
think so. I don't know. It just seems like I
think Trump is right sort of like Time magazine not
as relevant as they once were. On the other hand,
Trump has talked about himself being named Times Person of
(02:45):
the Year, and so maybe on some level he does
care about what Time magazine says. But to me, it
struck me as a little of what Trump said, which
is now, I don't know that it's really a super
well super relevant to anything day to day. What's happening
(03:08):
in Washington is really very Musk oriented. I mean, he
is the guy, you know, the idea that he could
go in there with his efficiency crew and go after
so many different government agencies. It's an extraordinary thing. Now
Trump is saying that he wants him meaning Musk and
(03:31):
his people to look at the Department of Education and
departments to be content crying long angers trying to get
the Department of Age earlier day, Well, this is the
this is the Department of Education.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
What would you call that standoff?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I guess I mean, a bunch of Democrats go to
the Department of Education, the Department of Education doors are locked,
and of course the Department of Education is one of
these from an agencies that may really face closure. They
advertised the fact in the run up of the campaign
to the presidency that they wanted to close the Department
of Education. So in any case, today, a bunch of
(04:11):
Democrats go there, Democratic Congress people go and the doors
are closed, and there is a security guy although he
has no identification, so they didn't know if it was
private security, if his government security not allowing them in.
And so Trump reacts to that standoff. In again the
press conference with the Japanese.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I see the same ones. I see Maxine Waters a
low life. I see you know, all these people. They
don't love our country. They don't love our country. We
want great education. So they rank forty countries in education.
We're ranked dead last, dead last. But the good news
is we're number one in one category, you know, that
is cost per pupil. We spend more per pupil than
(04:56):
on any other country in the world. You look at Norway, Denmark, Sweden,
various countries all up and down Finland, China does very
well in education, and then you look at us. We
spend much more money than they do per pupil or
any other way. But we spend much more money than
they do, and yet we're ranked this year Biden's last year,
(05:17):
congratulations show. We're ranked dead last. So what I want
to see is education number one. I like choice, we
all like choice, but beyond choice, long beyond choice. I
want to see you go back to the states where
great states that do so well have no debt.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
They're operated brilliantly.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
They'll be as good as Norway or Denmark or Sweden
or any of the other highly ranked countries. They'll be
probably have thirty I figured thirty five to thirty eight
states will be right at the top, and the rest
will come along. They'll have to come along competitively. And
by the way, we'll be spending a lot less money
and we'll have great education.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well, there's a lot of federal money that does go
to underpin public education, but the curriculum, it's really set
at the state level. As you know, states and municipalities
they set the curriculum. So when you talk about federal involvement,
it's involvement with dollars primarily, and the Department of Education
(06:17):
clearly viewed by Trump and the incoming administration, the new
administration as a waste of money. They can successfully perhaps
gut that agency. But the one thing that again has
to happen is you have to have, at least if
you're playing by traditional rules, you have to have congressional approval.
(06:38):
You just can't come in and close down an agency. Now,
the one thing you can do, and I think they
are doing it and we're seeing it in real time,
to use The phrase is you can sap the various
departments of government of money and personnel, and in doing
that you, from a de facto stand point, they're closed.
(07:01):
So I get it. There's still a building there, it
still says Department of Education, but there is no one
there in that building effectively, and there's no real functioning
budget to keep it going.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
You'll see a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I think that's the tactic they will use because actually
closing down the department would require a vote from Congress,
and I don't know that you're going to get congressional approval.
It puts these congress people in a tough spot. They
are already looking ahead at midterms. They're certainly intimidated by
Trump when it comes to midterms as well being primary
et cetera. But I think the safe way to go
(07:37):
is to sap these various government departments of money and personnel.
So it continues, and a lot of it continues under
cloak of secrecy.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
We will see.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's the co Belt Show, Thompson sitting in. I'm KFI
AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI six.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Later in the show, we will discuss I know, it's
Super Bowl weekend.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Lot about the game, and there's a lot about the ads.
We will share a couple of the most popular ads
with you, and I will ask Eric to weigh in
with his prediction as to how the game will go
and ultimately who will prevail in the contest. I also
(08:33):
will need a point spread, and so I'll consult Eric
before the end of the program. He of all of us,
probably has the best chops when it comes to evaluating
sports of this kind.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
That's why we will go to him.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But for now, there is something happening in Joshua Tree
that's kind of wild.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
An acquisition of huge amounts of acreage in Joshua Tree's
National Park area, this Whispering Pines area, and the people
who live there are concerned about what's going to happen.
It's unclear what is going to happen. Is it development?
(09:22):
And it's a very sensitive region environmentally ecologically, you know,
And there are those prefab cabins and a widening of
access roads already beginning to take hold there. And so
people who are watching this area are worried about a
(09:42):
degradation of the environment, you know, depletion of water, fire
risk that increases, and the National Park Service has a
presence there and they're looking into permit violations maybe because
of all of these activities, but the new landowners have
stayed quiet. LA Times did a review of online and
(10:06):
public records. They found that people and entities linked to
this development group called Dark Horse, have acquired more than
one hundred acres in and around this Whispering Pines area
since twenty twenty one. Some of those have ties to
the hotel and hospitality industry. In other words, some of
(10:28):
those acquisitions point back to that. But consultants in the
hotel industry say that that location, the Whispering Pines location,
within the park boundaries, they say it could be a
terrific area for development to set up lodges, to set
(10:51):
up essentially an industry in the tourist service world. So
again not saying high rise hotel, but saying that there
could be a kind of development that would house tourists
and exploit that area for tourism and for housing tourists. Okay,
(11:13):
there is no lodging in Joshua Tree besides campgrounds. So
if you've been out there. You know, you kind of
go out there to essentially commune with nature. So the
idea is, well, there's nothing like this out there. There
might be a demand for some kind of hospitality project.
(11:35):
And as they talk to consulting firms, those consulting firms
in the hospitality industry say that Joshua Tree would just
be a sweet spot for four star suites or cabins
for one hundred and fifty dollars a night. Whatever you
put there would do well. The problem is, see my
(11:57):
first point, this is a very sensitive area. And if
you look at the demands of water in a water
table that's already likely sensitively flirting with real depletion. I mean,
it's an ecologically sensitive area of the park. You begin
(12:18):
to see some of the sensitivities that environmentalists have and
that those who frequent the area have. I don't want
people punching wells, said a local wilderness guide. He talked
about the potential impact on wildlife. More human activity raises
the risk of fire. The guy who owns North American
(12:42):
Drilling in Yuca Valley said that he drilled a well
on one of these spots in Whispering Pines in twenty
twenty two, and he was later asked to drill more wells.
And again all the acquisitions started in twenty twenty one.
So the drills and the wells that their drill, they
dusted them off in twenty twenty two. But the landowners
(13:05):
won't say what the use is. And in order to
properly calculate the size of the wells, you need to
know what the use is. And for that reason, this
guy who owns that North American Drilling in Yuca Valley said,
I cut ties with the owners. I don't have anything
to do with them anymore because they wouldn't tell me
what they were wanting me to drill these wells for
(13:31):
how much water you need? So again, the outfit is
called dark Horse Tactical Investments, and they've acquired at least
twenty two separate parcels in this area of Joshua Tree,
and this is about one hundred and seventeen acres that
they have purchased for more than two point nine million dollars,
(13:54):
and one five acre lot they got for two hundred
and twenty five thousand dollars in twenty twenty two. You
had last sold for six thousand. So they are if
you will overpaying for this, It would suggest that they
have some big plans for this area, and there are
homesteaders there. Many homesteaders had filed for this land in
(14:18):
the twenties and thirties and they've been grandfathered in. So
there could be an interesting mix of differing interests when
you talk about Joshua Tree and acquiring land there and
try to exploit the land for real money. There is
expansion of the roads that's done aggressively and that is
(14:44):
also done with approval, and according to nearby residents, big
trucks towing construction equipment. Apparently many of those trucks are
rumbling up those expanded roads. The roads are closed to
the public and will there likely be cabins there on
these widened and graded roads maybe and the new neighbors
(15:08):
again part of this LLC. They are looking at what
will likely be real estate development in Joshua Tree. Look,
they own the land. Now'll be a question of getting
approval for some of that drilling, and this pristine environment
(15:30):
will likely be changing, and the texture of that environment
may involve exploitation by developers. Now, if you're someone who
would like to spend the night in Joshua Tree but
doesn't want to sleep under the stars.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I guess it's a win.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But if you're someone who enjoys the pristine nature of
Joshua Tree, then enjoy the last months of that that
may indeed be changing.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
No men in women's sports.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So came the declaration from Donald Trump and the executive
order out of the new administration.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
We get to that next.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Mark Thompson for John Cobelt on KFI AM six forty
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Mark Thompson here for John Cobelt today, and the the
official ban is in place. You know, Donald Trump signed
the executive order, no more trans athletes.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
We'll compete in women's sports. Here's what it sounded like with.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
This executive order. The war on women's sports is over.
Under the Trump administration. We will defend the proud tradition
of female athletes, and we will not allow men to
beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls.
(17:02):
From now on, women's sports will be only for women.
With my action this afternoon, we're putting every school receiving
taxpayer dollars or notice that if you let men take
over women's sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you
will be investigated for violations of Title NINN and risk
(17:24):
your federal funding.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
There will be no federal FUNDA. So when the Olympics comes.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
To Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight, my administration will
not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
And we're just not going to let it happen.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
And it's going to end, and it's ending great now,
and nobody's going to be able to do a damn
thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So NCAA President Charlie Baker, responding to this executive order
in a statement, said that there is a clear national
standard that the NCAA Board of Governors is going to
review take steps to align the organization's policy in the
coming days. The NCAA officially banning trans athletes from women's
(18:20):
sports this a day after that signing. This is likely
going to be something where the shoe pinches. When the
Olympics roll around, we will see. I mean, there have
been some very high profile cases involving trans athletes. Right
(18:43):
the case, I'm thinking of is there's Leah Thomas, right,
and there were multiple lawsuits against the nc DOUBLEA and
member schools the sharing of the locker room with that
trans swimmer at Leah Thomas. That was in twenty twenty
two national championships. And aside from that, and I also
(19:10):
think there've been some there's a tragic case of the
volleyball player, a transgender volleyball player, Blair Fleming, played three
seasons at San Jose State. And you know, again, these
are gifted athletes who bring oftentimes a male biology to
(19:34):
that kind of competitive environment. And for that reason, you
can legitimately see why they'd be concerned. But how many
of them are there? The NCAA is made of eleven
hundred colleges and universities. They're everywhere in all fifty states,
(19:54):
and they enroll a little over half a million student athletes,
five hundred and thirty thousand. And according to the Senate
committee back and forth with the head of NCUBA Athletics,
they had a big hearing on this in December. And
this guy, Charlie Baker is the NCUBA presidents I say
(20:17):
he's the head, and he's the guy who just has
responded to this executive order. He told a Senate committee
in December, how many transgender athletes in the NCUBAA. What
would you say? How many would you guess? He would say,
I don't know. Would you say one thousand, five hundred?
They're five hundred and thirty thousand student athletes? How many
(20:40):
of that number? Ten percent? There were less than ten
transgender athletes in the NCUBA, according again to the president
of the nc Douba. Still the executive order goes into place,
and now the nc DOUBLEA officially banning trans athletes. I'm
(21:00):
just saying, though the concern may be oversized. Now, you
could also say, hey, when you're staring down the barrel
of somebody who was born a man, may have gone
through a male puberty and now is competing in women's
sports because of a decision to transition, then that's a
(21:26):
very serious situation. There is a gray area here, and
we're wrestling with it as a society, you know. But wow,
the number of trans athletes is really a small number. Again,
fewer than ten. They say none will be competing in
(21:46):
the super Bowl. The Super Bowl, the high water mark
of the NFL will be I think the pregame show
starts in like an hour. They have many, many hours
of pre game action. As we all scurry around with
(22:07):
our Super Bowl boxes, with our Super Bowl picks. I've
got teases, I've got parlays, I've got insiders. Word Petrosen
Money said this. You've listened to sports radio hoping for
a little information. Mahomes the officials, the chiefs. They're favored
(22:32):
that by the NFL. They want that Cinderella story, they
want a three pat Well, the other side of that,
alongside the actual NFL action is the Super Bowl ads.
We have them ranked and we'll share a couple with you. Next,
(22:52):
it's the John Covelt Show. Mark Thompson sitting in for
John KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Appstening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Mark Thompson here for John Cobelt. Yes, the super Bowl
is coming up. It's a big weekend. People have parties
planned all the rest. The ads have become their own
beast associated with the Super Bowl, right, And I mean
it used to be like the ads when you would
be when you'd go to the bathroom and you go
get a sandwich whatever. Now the ads are this thing
(23:27):
that you want to see. But the way this has
changed is that the ads now have a life online,
so we've had a chance to freeview a lot of
the ads. I mean, there is, if you will, not
quite the anticipation that there was in the old days.
Now I think there'll still be that kind of water
cooler which added you like the most, et cetera. But
(23:47):
now we can see these ads ahead of time and
anticipate them, look forward to them, whatever it might be.
Now again, we'll get to the DUCA Sports next hour.
We'll get an official handicapping of this game, but for
now it's about the ads, and the ads are ranked.
(24:09):
Here is a little bit of a preview of some
Super Bowl ads. My my face is different, my hair
is different.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
But I am but I am somebody.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I must be respected, protective, never rejected.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Somebody, Somebody, somebody.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
That is a sweet ad. That's the National Football League's ad. There,
feel good promo somebody. It's called it's this can't we
all just get a long sort of ad? And it's
an implicit endorsement of diversity and has sort of well,
it sits alongside the decision of the NFL to get
(25:08):
rid of that end racism thing in the end Zone.
There was their slogan and they got rid of it,
and so the NFL puts out that ad. There are
also ads that involve people you'll know. Here's Gordon Ramsey
and Pete Davidson in an ad for Hexclad.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Hex Clad is what that cookwar? Isn't that the.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
We've made contact with a new alien species and apparently
they're foodies.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Oh, foodies the worst.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
Mister Ramsey will need you to cook for them. You'll
have access to everything the area of fifty one test
Kitchen has to offer, including top secret alien cooking technology.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Wait, that's just the heslob bran. I've got these at home.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
Unfortunately, it was leaked eight years ago. The pan was
developed using material from an alien spacecraft.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
It's extremely adorable.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
What low friction created to deal with a thick egge
like atmosphere. You're saying the panel user from my bacon
is made out of flying sauces. We don't have time
for a science list, and mister Ramsey, the alien of
exit is already here.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Whoa not her? Him?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Hey? What's up? Dude? You know what I mean? All
famous people are aliens? Are not? I meant like really
famous people. Seriously.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Oh yeah, huh.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That looks good. That looks good. That's he's clad again.
That's Gordon Ramsey recruited to cook for a visiting extraterrestrial
played by Pete Davidson.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Here Aubrey Plaza and Michael Shannon showing off their saltiness
because ritz crackers are salty.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
These are our people are salty. You ain't give me
exact change. He's salty, but I'm the saltiest.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Oh salty in me.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
When I smile. People assume it's a glitch.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
Please, I'm the human version of Monday.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Why ist so good?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
So annoying?
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Buttery? Salty show off? I love them.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Read the sign, bunny, You're gonna get us kicked out,
so I must buttered.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Loved buy everyone, even the saltiest.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So there's also a spot four science Moms.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
This is.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
A little sanctimonious, maybe, but they suggest the sentiments are
right on.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
As a scientist, I know by the time she takes
her first breath, nine billion more tons of carbon pollution
will be in the air. When she takes her first steps,
wildfires will of burn millions more acres She could have explored.
By the time a child born today goes to college,
it may be too late to leave them in the
world we promised. Our window to act on climate change
(28:11):
is like watching them grow up and blink and we
miss it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, so you know, just as you're feeling good about
the game, there's something to bum you out. That's kind
of perfect. Yeah, don't forget. Chiefs are ahead, but climate
change will kill us. All here's the Starbucks preview.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
It starts in darkness.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
And then suddenly out of the darkness in day's black
no fuck, SHOT's pool espresso, sigen and.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Sick and siging and sicken, the saking ten times, no more,
no less.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
One hundred and sixty five degree.
Speaker 9 (28:50):
You're ported to a double side of dark magic and ooh,
that's the good stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
All right, that's Starbucks, a little bit of that. And
then there was this. It's Tom Brady and Snoop. They
trade insults. This is the foundation to combat anti Semitism.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
I hate you because we're from different neighborhoods. I hate
you because you look different.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I hate you because I don't understand you.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I hate you because people I know hate you.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I hate you because I think you hate me because
I need someone to blame because you talk different, because
you act different, because you're just different.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I hate that fans are so bad that we have
to do a commercial about it.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Now that's pretty powerful. I'm I mean, we're a wash
in these ads. There's an ad for Helman's with Meg
Ryan and Billie Crystal reuniting at that Cat's Deli that
they had in what was that movie, Deborah? It was
when Harry met South?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Yes, yes, yes, is it the orgasm scene?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yes, exactly. The idea being that Hellman's must you see
it as a mayonnaise? I think in this case is
so incredible that it produces that same reaction.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
And there is a meta ad with Chris at Chris
and another Chris Kris. So it's a Chris with Chris
another chr and it's Hemsworth, Pratt and Jenner all plugging
metas Ai assisted ray band sunglasses. Are we going to
(30:32):
see the Clydesdales. Ah, that's a good question. Uh, there's
a coarse light ad. They'll have to be a bud ad.
You're right here. It is bud Light. Shane Gillis and
Rapper Post Malone in a deadpan ode to suburban backyard partying.
But there is no Cloudesdale in a bud light ad.
We'd have to see I don't see a bud ad here,
(30:57):
which would be the only way you'd see a closet.
Hang on, second though, let me chick I there's a
stella ad. David Beckham learning that he has a secret
twin who turns out to look a lot like Matt Damon.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
In fact, I think I have that. Here's that stella ad.
This is what it sounds like the.
Speaker 3 (31:19):
They you Beckham, Dave Beckham, No way, Hey, would you
say your name was David?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Try one of these that is the best buffalo wing
in the county.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
You eat buffalo just check them invented in Buffalo in
the city, so it's not buffalo all right?
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Man? Still got it?
Speaker 5 (31:36):
Come on, guys, sorry, it's the thing I do.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
You drinks stella? I have taste, David.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
Something I have to tell you.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
My brother is a famous opera player. Yeah, so how
famous are you? Like? Matt Damon? Famous?
Speaker 3 (31:55):
Maybe Ben Affleck famous.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
That's a shut boy.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Affleck Damon get a lot of work during these Super
Bowl ads. Remember they had that Dunkin Donuts thing last time.
I think they're reprising it too, because I saw a
paparazzi photo of Ben Affleck in the city. Ah yeah,
and you know what, that was funny. I'm smart to
bring it back. I don't see anything. I'm looking all
the ads, michelob Ultra, I'm looking at all the beer ads.
(32:20):
I don't see any with the Clydesdales. But oh, wait
a minute, I do Budweiser. No, this is with the
young men who drive beer sales, responding to the soft
nostalgic pull of the Clydesdale.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Here with God, yes, here, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
The Clydesdale is nosing a keg across the countryside to
the sound of the Bellamy Brothers.
Speaker 4 (32:51):
All right, one to watch for.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
There are a lot of high profile ads and a
lot of celebrities getting the work. When we come back,
we get the official word. Who will win? And buy
how much? Yes, the Duke of Sports weighs in.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Next.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It's KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere on the
iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
You can always hear the show live on KFI Am
six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
and of course anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
There is a breaking news out of Washington every few seconds,
and usually there is the word judge attached to it.
Judge to block. Latest is judge to block. The Trump
administration has planned to put the twenty two hundred US
AID workers on leave. This is a federal judge ordering
an immediate halt to key aspects of the effort to
(00:23):
dismantle that US agency. So the Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
it's going to place twenty two hundred employees of that
agency on leave in a matter of hours. But a
judge has interceded. There's a lot of that going on.
Now it goes to the court what you can do
legally and what you can meantime, there is what I
(00:47):
would consider it almost a troll of what's happening with
this Time magazine cover. Elon Musk is on the cover
of Time magazine and he's at the resolute desk, you know,
where the president should be in the Oval Office. And
Trump was asked about this as he's there with the
(01:10):
Japanese Prime Minister. He's asked to react to the cover
of Time magazine and this picture of Musk behind the
desk where he is doing all the executive orders signing
mister President.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
General reaction to the new Time magazine cover that has
Iuron musk sitting behind your resolute desk, Muskoga.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's the best part of it, that that she's translating this,
you know, so that the Prime Minister from Japan can understand.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Muskoga, is Time magazine still in business?
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I didn't even know that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
That's a great answer, man. I'm sorry, that is a
great answer. In fact, that was my response, Like that
was relevant maybe twenty years ago when Time magazine was everywhere,
But now I think it's just like a trolling of
Trump that you know, could be on x or it
could be on you know, threads or Blue Sky, anyone
(02:20):
of the Facebook, whatever you pick your social media platform. Yeah,
I don't know. I've also heard, Oh, it's the kind
of thing that would really bother him. Really, I don't
think so. I don't know. It just seems like I
think Trump is right sort of like Time magazine not
as relevant as they once were. On the other hand,
Trump has talked about himself being named Times Person of
(02:45):
the Year, and so maybe on some level he does
care about what Time magazine says. But to me, it
struck me as a little of what Trump said, which
is now, I don't know that it's really a super
well super relevant to anything day to day. What's happening
(03:08):
in Washington is really very Musk oriented. I mean, he
is the guy, you know, the idea that he could
go in there with his efficiency crew and go after
so many different government agencies. It's an extraordinary thing. Now
Trump is saying that he wants him meaning Musk and
(03:31):
his people to look at the Department of Education and
departments to be content crying long angers trying to get
the Department of Age earlier day, Well, this is the
this is the Department of Education.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
What would you call that standoff?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I guess I mean, a bunch of Democrats go to
the Department of Education, the Department of Education doors are locked,
and of course the Department of Education is one of
these from an agencies that may really face closure. They
advertised the fact in the run up of the campaign
to the presidency that they wanted to close the Department
of Education. So in any case, today, a bunch of
(04:11):
Democrats go there, Democratic Congress people go and the doors
are closed, and there is a security guy although he
has no identification, so they didn't know if it was
private security, if his government security not allowing them in.
And so Trump reacts to that standoff. In again the
press conference with the Japanese.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I see the same ones. I see Maxine Waters a
low life. I see you know, all these people. They
don't love our country. They don't love our country. We
want great education. So they rank forty countries in education.
We're ranked dead last, dead last. But the good news
is we're number one in one category, you know, that
is cost per pupil. We spend more per pupil than
(04:56):
on any other country in the world. You look at Norway, Denmark, Sweden,
various countries all up and down Finland, China does very
well in education, and then you look at us. We
spend much more money than they do per pupil or
any other way. But we spend much more money than
they do, and yet we're ranked this year Biden's last year,
(05:17):
congratulations show. We're ranked dead last. So what I want
to see is education number one. I like choice, we
all like choice, but beyond choice, long beyond choice. I
want to see you go back to the states where
great states that do so well have no debt.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
They're operated brilliantly.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
They'll be as good as Norway or Denmark or Sweden
or any of the other highly ranked countries. They'll be
probably have thirty I figured thirty five to thirty eight
states will be right at the top, and the rest
will come along. They'll have to come along competitively. And
by the way, we'll be spending a lot less money
and we'll have great education.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Well, there's a lot of federal money that does go
to underpin public education, but the curriculum, it's really set
at the state level. As you know, states and municipalities
they set the curriculum. So when you talk about federal involvement,
it's involvement with dollars primarily, and the Department of Education
(06:17):
clearly viewed by Trump and the incoming administration, the new
administration as a waste of money. They can successfully perhaps
gut that agency. But the one thing that again has
to happen is you have to have, at least if
you're playing by traditional rules, you have to have congressional approval.
(06:38):
You just can't come in and close down an agency. Now,
the one thing you can do, and I think they
are doing it and we're seeing it in real time,
to use The phrase is you can sap the various
departments of government of money and personnel, and in doing
that you, from a de facto stand point, they're closed.
(07:01):
So I get it. There's still a building there, it
still says Department of Education, but there is no one
there in that building effectively, and there's no real functioning
budget to keep it going.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
You'll see a lot of that.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
I think that's the tactic they will use because actually
closing down the department would require a vote from Congress,
and I don't know that you're going to get congressional approval.
It puts these congress people in a tough spot. They
are already looking ahead at midterms. They're certainly intimidated by
Trump when it comes to midterms as well being primary
et cetera. But I think the safe way to go
(07:37):
is to sap these various government departments of money and personnel.
So it continues, and a lot of it continues under
cloak of secrecy.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
We will see.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It's the co Belt Show, Thompson sitting in. I'm KFI
AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI six.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Later in the show, we will discuss I know, it's
Super Bowl weekend.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Lot about the game, and there's a lot about the ads.
We will share a couple of the most popular ads
with you, and I will ask Eric to weigh in
with his prediction as to how the game will go
and ultimately who will prevail in the contest. I also
(08:33):
will need a point spread, and so I'll consult Eric
before the end of the program. He of all of us,
probably has the best chops when it comes to evaluating
sports of this kind.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
That's why we will go to him.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
But for now, there is something happening in Joshua Tree
that's kind of wild.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
There is a.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
An acquisition of huge amounts of acreage in Joshua Tree's
National Park area, this Whispering Pines area, and the people
who live there are concerned about what's going to happen.
It's unclear what is going to happen. Is it development?
(09:22):
And it's a very sensitive region environmentally ecologically, you know,
And there are those prefab cabins and a widening of
access roads already beginning to take hold there. And so
people who are watching this area are worried about a
(09:42):
degradation of the environment, you know, depletion of water, fire
risk that increases, and the National Park Service has a
presence there and they're looking into permit violations maybe because
of all of these activities, but the new landowners have
stayed quiet. LA Times did a review of online and
(10:06):
public records. They found that people and entities linked to
this development group called Dark Horse, have acquired more than
one hundred acres in and around this Whispering Pines area
since twenty twenty one. Some of those have ties to
the hotel and hospitality industry. In other words, some of
(10:28):
those acquisitions point back to that. But consultants in the
hotel industry say that that location, the Whispering Pines location,
within the park boundaries, they say it could be a
terrific area for development to set up lodges, to set
(10:51):
up essentially an industry in the tourist service world. So
again not saying high rise hotel, but saying that there
could be a kind of development that would house tourists
and exploit that area for tourism and for housing tourists. Okay,
(11:13):
there is no lodging in Joshua Tree besides campgrounds. So
if you've been out there. You know, you kind of
go out there to essentially commune with nature. So the
idea is, well, there's nothing like this out there. There
might be a demand for some kind of hospitality project.
(11:35):
And as they talk to consulting firms, those consulting firms
in the hospitality industry say that Joshua Tree would just
be a sweet spot for four star suites or cabins
for one hundred and fifty dollars a night. Whatever you
put there would do well. The problem is, see my
(11:57):
first point, this is a very sensitive area. And if
you look at the demands of water in a water
table that's already likely sensitively flirting with real depletion. I mean,
it's an ecologically sensitive area of the park. You begin
(12:18):
to see some of the sensitivities that environmentalists have and
that those who frequent the area have. I don't want
people punching wells, said a local wilderness guide. He talked
about the potential impact on wildlife. More human activity raises
the risk of fire. The guy who owns North American
(12:42):
Drilling in Yuca Valley said that he drilled a well
on one of these spots in Whispering Pines in twenty
twenty two, and he was later asked to drill more wells.
And again all the acquisitions started in twenty twenty one.
So the drills and the wells that their drill, they
dusted them off in twenty twenty two. But the landowners
(13:05):
won't say what the use is. And in order to
properly calculate the size of the wells, you need to
know what the use is. And for that reason, this
guy who owns that North American Drilling in Yuca Valley said,
I cut ties with the owners. I don't have anything
to do with them anymore because they wouldn't tell me
what they were wanting me to drill these wells for
(13:31):
how much water you need? So again, the outfit is
called dark Horse Tactical Investments, and they've acquired at least
twenty two separate parcels in this area of Joshua Tree,
and this is about one hundred and seventeen acres that
they have purchased for more than two point nine million dollars,
(13:54):
and one five acre lot they got for two hundred
and twenty five thousand dollars in twenty twenty two. You
had last sold for six thousand. So they are if
you will overpaying for this, It would suggest that they
have some big plans for this area, and there are
homesteaders there. Many homesteaders had filed for this land in
(14:18):
the twenties and thirties and they've been grandfathered in. So
there could be an interesting mix of differing interests when
you talk about Joshua Tree and acquiring land there and
try to exploit the land for real money. There is
expansion of the roads that's done aggressively and that is
(14:44):
also done with approval, and according to nearby residents, big
trucks towing construction equipment. Apparently many of those trucks are
rumbling up those expanded roads. The roads are closed to
the public and will there likely be cabins there on
these widened and graded roads maybe and the new neighbors
(15:08):
again part of this LLC. They are looking at what
will likely be real estate development in Joshua Tree. Look,
they own the land. Now'll be a question of getting
approval for some of that drilling, and this pristine environment
(15:30):
will likely be changing, and the texture of that environment
may involve exploitation by developers. Now, if you're someone who
would like to spend the night in Joshua Tree but
doesn't want to sleep under the stars.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
I guess it's a win.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
But if you're someone who enjoys the pristine nature of
Joshua Tree, then enjoy the last months of that that
may indeed be changing.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
No men in women's sports.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
So came the declaration from Donald Trump and the executive
order out of the new administration.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
We get to that next.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Mark Thompson for John Cobelt on KFI AM six forty
live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Mark Thompson here for John Cobelt today, and the the
official ban is in place. You know, Donald Trump signed
the executive order, no more trans athletes.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
We'll compete in women's sports. Here's what it sounded like with.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
This executive order. The war on women's sports is over.
Under the Trump administration. We will defend the proud tradition
of female athletes, and we will not allow men to
beat up, injure and cheat our women and our girls.
(17:02):
From now on, women's sports will be only for women.
With my action this afternoon, we're putting every school receiving
taxpayer dollars or notice that if you let men take
over women's sports teams or invade your locker rooms, you
will be investigated for violations of Title NINN and risk
(17:24):
your federal funding.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
There will be no federal FUNDA. So when the Olympics comes.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
To Los Angeles in twenty twenty eight, my administration will
not stand by and watch men beat and batter female athletes.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
And we're just not going to let it happen.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
And it's going to end, and it's ending great now,
and nobody's going to be able to do a damn
thing about it, because when I speak, we speak with authority.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So NCAA President Charlie Baker, responding to this executive order
in a statement, said that there is a clear national
standard that the NCAA Board of Governors is going to
review take steps to align the organization's policy in the
coming days. The NCAA officially banning trans athletes from women's
(18:20):
sports this a day after that signing. This is likely
going to be something where the shoe pinches. When the
Olympics roll around, we will see. I mean, there have
been some very high profile cases involving trans athletes. Right
(18:43):
the case, I'm thinking of is there's Leah Thomas, right,
and there were multiple lawsuits against the nc DOUBLEA and
member schools the sharing of the locker room with that
trans swimmer at Leah Thomas. That was in twenty twenty
two national championships. And aside from that, and I also
(19:10):
think there've been some there's a tragic case of the
volleyball player, a transgender volleyball player, Blair Fleming, played three
seasons at San Jose State. And you know, again, these
are gifted athletes who bring oftentimes a male biology to
(19:34):
that kind of competitive environment. And for that reason, you
can legitimately see why they'd be concerned. But how many
of them are there? The NCAA is made of eleven
hundred colleges and universities. They're everywhere in all fifty states,
(19:54):
and they enroll a little over half a million student athletes,
five hundred and thirty thousand. And according to the Senate
committee back and forth with the head of NCUBA Athletics,
they had a big hearing on this in December. And
this guy, Charlie Baker is the NCUBA presidents I say
(20:17):
he's the head, and he's the guy who just has
responded to this executive order. He told a Senate committee
in December, how many transgender athletes in the NCUBAA. What
would you say? How many would you guess? He would say,
I don't know. Would you say one thousand, five hundred?
They're five hundred and thirty thousand student athletes? How many
(20:40):
of that number? Ten percent? There were less than ten
transgender athletes in the NCUBA, according again to the president
of the nc Douba. Still the executive order goes into place,
and now the nc DOUBLEA officially banning trans athletes. I'm
(21:00):
just saying, though the concern may be oversized. Now, you
could also say, hey, when you're staring down the barrel
of somebody who was born a man, may have gone
through a male puberty and now is competing in women's
sports because of a decision to transition, then that's a
(21:26):
very serious situation. There is a gray area here, and
we're wrestling with it as a society, you know. But wow,
the number of trans athletes is really a small number. Again,
fewer than ten. They say none will be competing in
(21:46):
the super Bowl. The Super Bowl, the high water mark
of the NFL will be I think the pregame show
starts in like an hour. They have many, many hours
of pre game action. As we all scurry around with
(22:07):
our Super Bowl boxes, with our Super Bowl picks. I've
got teases, I've got parlays, I've got insiders. Word Petrosen
Money said this. You've listened to sports radio hoping for
a little information. Mahomes the officials, the chiefs. They're favored
(22:32):
that by the NFL. They want that Cinderella story, they
want a three pat Well, the other side of that,
alongside the actual NFL action is the Super Bowl ads.
We have them ranked and we'll share a couple with you. Next,
(22:52):
it's the John Covelt Show. Mark Thompson sitting in for
John KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
Appstening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Mark Thompson here for John Cobelt. Yes, the super Bowl
is coming up. It's a big weekend. People have parties
planned all the rest. The ads have become their own
beast associated with the Super Bowl, right, And I mean
it used to be like the ads when you would
be when you'd go to the bathroom and you go
get a sandwich whatever. Now the ads are this thing
(23:27):
that you want to see. But the way this has
changed is that the ads now have a life online,
so we've had a chance to freeview a lot of
the ads. I mean, there is, if you will, not
quite the anticipation that there was in the old days.
Now I think there'll still be that kind of water
cooler which added you like the most, et cetera. But
(23:47):
now we can see these ads ahead of time and
anticipate them, look forward to them, whatever it might be.
Now again, we'll get to the DUCA Sports next hour.
We'll get an official handicapping of this game, but for
now it's about the ads, and the ads are ranked.
(24:09):
Here is a little bit of a preview of some
Super Bowl ads. My my face is different, my hair
is different.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
But I am but I am somebody.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
I must be respected, protective, never rejected.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Somebody, Somebody, somebody.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
That is a sweet ad. That's the National Football League's ad. There,
feel good promo somebody. It's called it's this can't we
all just get a long sort of ad? And it's
an implicit endorsement of diversity and has sort of well,
it sits alongside the decision of the NFL to get
(25:08):
rid of that end racism thing in the end Zone.
There was their slogan and they got rid of it,
and so the NFL puts out that ad. There are
also ads that involve people you'll know. Here's Gordon Ramsey
and Pete Davidson in an ad for Hexclad.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Hex Clad is what that cookwar? Isn't that the.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
We've made contact with a new alien species and apparently
they're foodies.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Oh, foodies the worst.
Speaker 8 (25:42):
Mister Ramsey will need you to cook for them. You'll
have access to everything the area of fifty one test
Kitchen has to offer, including top secret alien cooking technology.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Wait, that's just the heslob bran. I've got these at home.
Speaker 8 (25:54):
Unfortunately, it was leaked eight years ago. The pan was
developed using material from an alien spacecraft.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
It's extremely adorable.
Speaker 8 (26:01):
What low friction created to deal with a thick egge
like atmosphere. You're saying the panel user from my bacon
is made out of flying sauces. We don't have time
for a science list, and mister Ramsey, the alien of
exit is already here.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
Whoa not her? Him?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Hey? What's up? Dude? You know what I mean? All
famous people are aliens? Are not? I meant like really
famous people. Seriously.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Oh yeah, huh.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That looks good. That looks good. That's he's clad again.
That's Gordon Ramsey recruited to cook for a visiting extraterrestrial
played by Pete Davidson.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Very good.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Here Aubrey Plaza and Michael Shannon showing off their saltiness
because ritz crackers are salty.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
These are our people are salty. You ain't give me
exact change. He's salty, but I'm the saltiest.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Oh salty in me.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
When I smile. People assume it's a glitch.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
Please, I'm the human version of Monday.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Why ist so good?
Speaker 5 (27:13):
So annoying?
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Buttery? Salty show off? I love them.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Read the sign, bunny, You're gonna get us kicked out,
so I must buttered.
Speaker 9 (27:24):
Loved buy everyone, even the saltiest.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
So there's also a spot four science Moms.
Speaker 7 (27:37):
This is.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
A little sanctimonious, maybe, but they suggest the sentiments are
right on.
Speaker 9 (27:48):
As a scientist, I know by the time she takes
her first breath, nine billion more tons of carbon pollution
will be in the air. When she takes her first steps,
wildfires will of burn millions more acres She could have explored.
By the time a child born today goes to college,
it may be too late to leave them in the
world we promised. Our window to act on climate change
(28:11):
is like watching them grow up and blink and we
miss it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, so you know, just as you're feeling good about
the game, there's something to bum you out. That's kind
of perfect. Yeah, don't forget. Chiefs are ahead, but climate
change will kill us. All here's the Starbucks preview.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
It starts in darkness.
Speaker 4 (28:35):
And then suddenly out of the darkness in day's black
no fuck, SHOT's pool espresso, sigen and.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Sick and siging and sicken, the saking ten times, no more,
no less.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
One hundred and sixty five degree.
Speaker 9 (28:50):
You're ported to a double side of dark magic and ooh,
that's the good stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
All right, that's Starbucks, a little bit of that. And
then there was this. It's Tom Brady and Snoop. They
trade insults. This is the foundation to combat anti Semitism.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
I hate you because we're from different neighborhoods. I hate
you because you look different.
Speaker 3 (29:13):
I hate you because I don't understand you.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I hate you because people I know hate you.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I hate you because I think you hate me because
I need someone to blame because you talk different, because
you act different, because you're just different.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
I hate that fans are so bad that we have
to do a commercial about it.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Me too.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Now that's pretty powerful. I'm I mean, we're a wash
in these ads. There's an ad for Helman's with Meg
Ryan and Billie Crystal reuniting at that Cat's Deli that
they had in what was that movie, Deborah? It was
when Harry met South?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Yes, yes, yes, is it the orgasm scene?
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Yes, exactly. The idea being that Hellman's must you see
it as a mayonnaise? I think in this case is
so incredible that it produces that same reaction.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
And there is a meta ad with Chris at Chris
and another Chris Kris. So it's a Chris with Chris
another chr and it's Hemsworth, Pratt and Jenner all plugging
metas Ai assisted ray band sunglasses. Are we going to
(30:32):
see the Clydesdales. Ah, that's a good question. Uh, there's
a coarse light ad. They'll have to be a bud ad.
You're right here. It is bud Light. Shane Gillis and
Rapper Post Malone in a deadpan ode to suburban backyard partying.
But there is no Cloudesdale in a bud light ad.
We'd have to see I don't see a bud ad here,
(30:57):
which would be the only way you'd see a closet.
Hang on, second though, let me chick I there's a
stella ad. David Beckham learning that he has a secret
twin who turns out to look a lot like Matt Damon.
Speaker 4 (31:11):

This is what it sounds like the.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Affleck Damon get a lot of work during these Super
Bowl ads. Remember they had that Dunkin Donuts thing last time.
I think they're reprising it too, because I saw a
paparazzi photo of Ben Affleck in the city. Ah yeah,
and you know what, that was funny. I'm smart to
bring it back. I don't see anything. I'm looking all
the ads, michelob Ultra, I'm looking at all the beer ads.
(32:20):
I don't see any with the Clydesdales. But oh, wait
a minute, I do Budweiser. No, this is with the
young men who drive beer sales, responding to the soft
nostalgic pull of the Clydesdale.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Here with God, yes, here, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
The Clydesdale is nosing a keg across the countryside to
the sound of the Bellamy Brothers.
