So anyway, what this is, it's your turn.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
You you tell me.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
What's what's on your mind, what you're upset about, what
issue you think ought to be covered, and you know,
we'll just still go from there.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Wow, all of the above. Yeah, living in California, there
there are. There are two Californias, wouldn't wouldn't you say? Yes,
there there are in a lot of different ways because
there are a lot of people. Not to bore you
too much, but I went to my high school reunion
a few years ago, and there was just a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Of group, a big group of us who grew up
in the LA area.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And then you just.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Disperse, Yeah, and where'd you grow up in La Glendora, Glenor. Yeah,
so it's uh about well, it's about I don't know
what twenty miles. Maybe I used to say twenty minutes,
but now it's now it's an.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Hour, right, right.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
So all right, so you see you're forty seven, so
you went to high school you know, about thirty plus
years ago. Yeah, so yeah, that would be in the
mid nineties, correct, Yeah, uh yeah, well, I mean that's
that's near the time where my wife and I first
came here, right, and we started having kids, and yeah,
a dramatic.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Shock, right, and there's we'll talk about it as a native.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yeah, and there's nobody's there's nobody at least the people
that I talked to that still lived there. In fact,
one of my best friends, I hope, hope he's listening.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I told him to.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
His parents just sold their house about two years ago,
and he's about the last person I know who's still
in that area because everybody's just moved out and moved
and gone. And glend Door is nice, but it's also expensive. Now, yeah,
you talked about the housing crisis. You could you could
afford a house back then, you know, in your mid
twenties and start making a house. There's no way you
(03:08):
can afford a lot of these houses in your mid
twenties now with the requirements, you know, with every with
everything going on, So you have to go to the suburbs.
And a lot of my friends and a lot of
people I knew, and you know lost, you know, you
lose contact with people and then you get get back
with them. They are they're in the in the umpire,
they're up north. And you had a guest on the
(03:29):
other day, I don't remember who, but he made a
good point of people are leaving California to go to
the freezing part of Idaho.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Yes, I remember that, and that's a good point.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well they're going to places that people used to complain
about the weather. Like a lot of people have gone
to Texas from California, right, And I remember I first
got here, and people go Texas that that it's hot,
it's humid, there's mosquitos everywhere, and.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
We talk about that about you know Florida. No we're
not we're not there yet. I got to play some Florida.
We were already built an escape auch.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We're not that miserable yet, but it is.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
It's humid, it's there's alligators.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah, I was in I was in Miami a few
weeks ago and the lady there's a tour and this
lady's like, oh, this is the only place in the
world where alligators and crocodiles co exist.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
No, that's true, going there because that's where the saltwater
meets the fresh water. You've taken the tour, Yeah, alligators
in the fresh water are your salt water?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, no, I'll avoid all the water.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'm no, I've seen some of the alligators there. There's
a there's a stretch of road and they have because
the rains can be really heavy, right, so they have
these gullies along the side of the road, right, and
it creates you know, these these ponds, ye, these drainage canals.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Alligators are laying in them. Yeah. No, thanks, not for me.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
I'll deal with I'll complain in traffic and yell on
my radio until I deal a crocodiles.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, a lot of people have decided it's that bad.
I'd rather take on the take on the crocodiles.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
And that's just what you know, that's kind of the
thing we just I tell people all the time is
just how long have you been here in twenty thirty years,
even fifteen? Are things better? Have things gotten better? Have
your taxes gotten better? Has your commute gotten better? Has
your job gotten better? Has your pega? And the answer
to a lot of those is no. And yeah, it's
knowing all of that, no, on all of it. And
(05:18):
you know what's that all the politicians love to say
this definition of insanity is doing the same thing.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Over and over again, and here in California we do it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
We're doing We're doing it. Yeah, So where did the
insanity come from?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I think I think a lot of people are just
born with it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But I just remember they voted for normal people, whether
it was Democrats and Republicans, they were relatively normal.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know. When I came here.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Pete Wilson was governor, right, and Tom Bradley and then
Richard Reardon was the mayor. And the nineties were great,
and the two thousands were great, I mean great. Davis
Schwarzenegger was you know, a celebrity version, but he was
within the norm range.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Now it's the super woke, super progressive nonsense, That's what
I was saying.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I mean, you know, Gray Davis gets recalled and I
think nowadays begging for somebody like great Dave, that's right,
somebody normal.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, Schwarzenegger lied and sold everybody out, but even he
would be welcome over over Newsham.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Right and whoever's and we keep yeah, I know the
Menendez brothers. Things is big right now, and people are
talking about whether or not Newsom's going.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
To Oh, I think he will.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Now, I don't think he will.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You don't think so.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I'm worried about the next person because it keeps getting
worse and worse and worse. Yeah, I mean Newsom's well,
he's riding the clock out, right, I mean he's got
a year left.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I believe a year in change.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Six months, yeah, about year and a half. I think
he's just riding the clock out. But Mike, because I mean,
we went from Schwarzenegger and like, I can't be worse
than Schwarzenegger. Jerry Brown's coming back.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
He can't be that bad. No, Schwarzenegger turned out to
be really bad.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I don't want anybody to misunderstand though, but it's just
it's gotten so much worse. It's like these guys are
starting to look like, well, it wasn't that bad that then.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
It's like, well, and then we get brown.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I was like, well, okay, the next guy can't be
that bad, and they get new so well and now
my now I'm saying, well, the next person can't be
that bad.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, do you know any of your friends, like your
al high school friends or your adult friends who went
woke on you?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
What woke? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
From high school or because I just have to believe
that some people used to vote for normal and then
they started going woke unless they're not aware of what
they're voting for.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
No.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I mean, I think a lot of the woke, at
least the woke on the left is uh uh, the younger,
like maybe people ten fifteen years younger than me, right,
people who are like turning thirty, Now, that seems to
be I mean a lot of most of my friends
are similar. They just like you said, they vote for
the best person. They the person over party.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I've seen that in a while.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Well that's the problem is once I got so crazy,
you're forcing me onto this one.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I mean, in the mid nineties, people will probably get
be shocked to hear this, but the Republicans actually controlled
the Assembly for a couple of years in the mid nineties,
I remember I was alive then, and now you know
the in I think in the Assembly, it's like it's
like seventy seventy two to eight or seventy one to nine,
(08:16):
something like that.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
And that was just looking back as a complete lack
of leadership on the Republican Party back then. Yeah, there
was no leadership and you just allowed one party rule
to take over.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
And you know, there's that.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
But I think a lot of people from my high
school and my friends, I mean, yeah, they're not They
have other things other than politics, and they look at
those things.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
What's the issue of the day. Is it taxes? Is
it traffic?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And how do we.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Is this person or that person going to make my
life better? And you know, I think the big part too,
I think of the radical shift in this state was
in the two thousands or so when the Republican Party
just started an under Schortz, nigger just started taxing everybody
just like everybody.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, I know, Well it made a terrible mistake when
it cave in and did what every other Democrat.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Did, right, Because if there's nobody sticking up for us
on taxes, why am I going to vote for you
when I can vote for who I know is going
at least I know what I'm getting out of this
this side.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
All right, hang on, we got more coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You're listening to Josh Moody, the pastathon winner, an attorney
from the Apple Valley area, and we're going to continue
with him. He won the pastathon bidding War.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The last segment, I mixed up the Assembly in the
state Senate. The Democrats have a sixty to twenty advantage
in the Assembly, which is still more than two thirds,
whether they can do what they want or it's yeah,
three quarters.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Death by hanging, death by that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And in the in the in the Assembly, and that's
the Assembly and the Senator, it's thirty to ten. So
it's sixty twenty and thirty to ten. So they have
better than a two thirds majority in both houses.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And so an all nine voted elected physician. I believe
there's nine positions, right, governored to Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, governor,
lieutenant governor, secretary of state, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah right, So what else? What else? Budge you?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
We were uh, do you want to talk about what's
bugging us or we were just talking about what makes
us happy?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It makes you happy? Yeah, baseball, we'll look into baseball
for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, well Dodger fan, I bet right.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, yeah, we like my parents had these in tickets,
you know, the Dodgers. When I was growing up and
went to the eighty four Olympics, I was probably before
your time, before I lived yeah, before you lived here. Yeah,
so yeah, Dodgers, you know, leave Dodger blue. So I
grew up a Mets fan. Oh, but Dodgers were the
second favorite.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah. Well I got a Steve Garby autograph when I
was eleven.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Want me too, well, when I was younger too, right.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
But the yeah, the Mets what they've replaced the Dodgers
out there and people the Dodger contingency in New York
is still.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh it's still big.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
When they I mean Mets is coming to play the
Dodgers first week of June here, it's gonna sell out.
I'm sure right now you get to the games. Or
is the hours and hours of traffic is it too daunting?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
It's very daunting. We actually travel more. It's a lot
cheaper to travel.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Cheaper cheaper to go to the away game, so yeah,
very much. Oh yeah, man, we'll get We'll see now.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Now you know that they ought to be ashamed of
themselves in Sacramento for creating a situation where it's cheaper
to go to a Dodger game in another state.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
So you could probably look, you could look online.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Somebody fact check me.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
But we were talking about going to the game tonight,
but it's shoho taani bobblehead.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Right, No, yeah, it's impossible. Yeah, we know, and you
might not get a bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Uh no, I've heard.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I believe Ray just told us that they they're guaranteeing
everybody bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Oh, they are to try to.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, get the crowd out because friend of mine went
to like the last one of the earlier bubblehead games,
and he was furious because he ran into the two
hour traffic jam from the west side, the long line
to get in with the car, then the long line
to get into the stadium right and go through the security,
and he finally gets there and they're out of babble
(12:15):
heads because they only had forty thousand, and he was
like furious, like he was mad the whole game yea,
he couldn't even watch the game he was so pissed off.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Yeah, well, I told you earlier we were in Florida
with crocodiles and alligators live in harmony. It was because
the Dodgers were there, and you're able to get a
relatively cheap flight, cheap hotel, and the tickets behind home
playter like, you know, one hundred bucks. Well, what's one
hundred dollars ticket get you a Dodger stadium? On bubblehead ninety?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It gets you I think you get to sit in
the parking lot, listen to the game on the radio.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So we've been traveling a lot trying to hit all
thirty stadiums, no kiddy, Yeah, yeah, And it's cheap, cheaper
we'll buy a tawny bubblehead online or something.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah. Ticket tonight's eighty bucks. Keeps tickets eight. What are
you sitting in the upper upper deck? Upper deck in
the corner? Yep, right by the foul pole, right by
there you go, foul pole. Ticket in the upper deck
for eighty bucks.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
For eighty bucks. Yeah, what's uh? What's the loads you
get you? What's the cheapest loads that's gonna I'll check. Yeah,
that's going to be over. That's got to be I'm
guessing minimum two hundred.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Eric runs a ticket selling operation on the side, so
you can he can give it the prices right away
because he's always scrambling to get last minute tickets as
cheaply as possible.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I'm seeing in the loads anywhere between like one twenty
and one seventy.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Oh okay, coming down a little bit then the other day.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mean being here, you're closer. Yeah, right, that's what
we were talking.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh, it has taken me from Burbank like over an
hour to get to the stadium. Yeah, it's and that that,
you know, and I and I zigzag through uh the park,
Echo Park or something, and well yeah, Echo Park. You
can get off on either the I don't know the
one on one or where you take the two for
a little while. There's like a whole roundabout way and
(13:59):
then what was the name I'm blanking out on the
park Allian Yeah, yeah, Lesion Park.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And on all these extremely hilly side roads. Googles taking
us there too.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, right way up, way down like you're on roller coaster.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
People out there offering to park your car for you.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, they're are free to take the car off your
hands that we're trying to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't.
You don't really want that card? Yeah right, we'll take.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It'll be here when you get back.
Speaker 1 (14:28):

on your space, on your time and talk about what
we want to talk about.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I get half a day off, now, you know, I
work hard enough, it's up to you.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
You get the show for free. So well today you did,
but today you had to pay. No, it's very generous
of you. There, No, I know this is actually fun,
all right? So what else is on your mind? Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
This is this is this is where you decide the
topics and which way we're going? Which way are we going?
The gas prices? Right, yeah, you're here. We might get
be paying eight fifty nine dollars a gallon. At what
point do people care?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
At what point do At what point do the people
who are so addicted to their blue no matter who
or their climate agenda?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
At what point did they say, you.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Know what, I know this is attesting and maybe maybe
we've gone a little.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Too far on because I mean, there have been tremendous
revolts around the world of gasoline.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Remember remember going back.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
To Gray Davis quig three Davis, right, Remember he increased
the car tax one hundred bucks. Yeah, I mean gas
has gone up one hundred bucks a week. And yeah,
he raised the car tax one hundred bucks and that
got him kicked out of office, end.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Of the end of his political career and opened the door.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
For people had no problem recalling Democrats like we were
recalling a Republican.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Remember when when you first came. I know, I know,
and it doesn't matter, but yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
But he you know what he'd done. I remember he
had done a one to eighty on a tack, right,
and that's what they were we were going to go
off the financial cliff if we don't vote for this, right,
But you know, they know they signed they signed the pledge.
Remember that, Yes, they signed a pledge I will never
vote for a tax increase, right, Well, and.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Then a bunch of Republicans voters for a TAXI that's
right y? Yeah, yeah, So, I mean it's been both parties,
you know, for for a long time now.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
But I don't know. I mean, you probably heard.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
We go through the triple A gas price report every
day and somebody sent in one of our listeners in
Oklahoma sent in two dollars and thirty six cents.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
And that's what I was gonna ask you, because I've
been yelling at my radio all week? What do you
think the average price of gasoline is, or would be
if we took out Alaska, Hawaii, and California. It's probably
going to go down another right, Yeah, it's probably go
down another quarter, just because you know, Hawaiian, Alaska outliers. Yes,
and we're obviously an outlier by our own making. Right,
(17:52):
So what do you think the average price would actually
be without the three of them?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Could be under three bucks? Again?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, because I saw that twenty seven states are under
three bucks, including a lot of big states, right, like
like New Jersey and Massachusetts, and New York's only at
about three ten. The national average I saw was like
three between three ten and three fifteen. You know, it
goes up and down a couple of pennies every day.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I'm the guy who brings a gas can with me
when I go to Vegas, trying to get an extra
six gallons out.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Of it and bring it home. Do you really do that?
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Not so much anymore, But when I did a long time,
when I had my truck.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You know, I mean you have a truck six gallons?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, So I mean in France, they had the Yellow
Vest riots, remember, I mean there were fire set and
people were really got violent because of some kind of
relatively mild tax compared to what we're going through. And
I'm so envious. It's like, where is our Yellow Vest riot?
Where are people really taking to the street. You look
(18:53):
at what people like protest over right.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
And you know they're saying that California has the fourth
largest economy, now, which okay, may or may not be true,
but is it.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Really a movie economy?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Because what really pushes economies and grows them is cheaper energy.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And we don't have cheap energy. We have expensive gas,
we have expensive electricity.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well, it's out it's so weighted towards the tech companies, right,
and the people who work for those companies. When I
saw the average Facebook engineer a couple of years ago,
I saw I was making four hundred thousand a year.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, I think all the.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
People who work for Meta and Google and Apple. I mean,
if they're all making three, four or five hundred thousand
dollars a year just sitting and staring at a screen,
all right, there's your economy.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
And it's a service economy. It doesn't produce anything. It
doesn't there's no goods that come with it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And it sends likes out.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yes, And those people who make that kind of money
can live a few blocks away from their work and
the price of gas doesn't affect them.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
And I've just seen like five bucks roughly agall and
now you know it's you can get it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's more expensive.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
It's more expensive here than it is out in Sammerndino.
It's at least fifty cents more more more here in
l La County.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, oh yeah, oh definitely, yeah, you go, you go
to you ever go with border in Arizona?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Oh yeah, it's in the threes.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It suddenly drops by like a dollar fifty once you
cross the border.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And that's what and that's why they say you're going
back to baseball.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
That's why they say Dodger State or Chase Field is
Dodger Stadium East, Right, it's so easy to go.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
There, right, and cheaper in the hotels and the tickets
are cheaper.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So Arizona is another one.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, that's really cheap.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And it's going to be like a triple whammie within
the next eighteen months because you're going to have this
California Air Resources Board with the new fuel standard that's
sixty five cents there. How is carb even legal? How
is that a legal entity? It shouldn't be because you
can't you can't elect them, correct, you can't replace them.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
The legislature passed up. Isn't the legislature job to legislate?
And if they pass that off onto somebody else, I
can't complain to my right legislature to say hey, don't
do this. And you get guys like Newsom who say
it's not my fault. It's this organization that nobody.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Nearly everyone on that board is a Newsom in point appointee. Yeah,
I think to like eleven out of twelve voting members
something like that.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Right, it gives the legislature and the governor the buffer
to write to make an excuse for their policies.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So that you know, now I see, you know, I
still wonder when I was a kid some of the
oppressive regimes, like whether it's communists China, the old Soviet Union,
Cuba and other countries like that.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It's like why do people put up with this? And
now I'm watching them, you know, it's like, oh, we
gotta pay nine dollars a going okay.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
And at what point is I mean, we have a
lot of Amazon centers here in southern California, Walmart centers, right,
it's a big hub for to get goods out to
other states. How are they Are they paying it? We
are their big trucks. It's going to be passed off
all it is. The shipping prices get get higher. Yeh
when you click on it. There's really no days for
us to be such an outlier.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And then there's two The other two events are going
to be the two refineries that are closed, one up
in northern California and in Benetia and then one in
Carson here.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
And that's another going back to your original the first
question you asked me earlier today was what's changed in
southern California? And I remember you couldn't drive down anywhere
and even in the city of La and you'd.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
See those big pumps. Remember those?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, they were everywhere. Yeah, I remember that.
And I haven't seen one of those in what twenty years.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
No, We've got an enormous amount of energy that we
walk over every day. It's underground, it leaks out. You
can smell a br right exactly. It's actually bubbling up
to w't to touch that might make the carbon No,
so we buy the oil from Saudi Arabia like Venezuela,
what like their emissions don't go into the same atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's what's so crazy, That's what I do.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
It's scially how stupid everybody is if we're gonna use
the same amount of gas and oil.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
So they make it there, we end up paying much
more money. It's still going up into the atmosphere, and.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
We're shipping our jobs there. We don't have people working
in refineries here like we used to. Yeah, so se see,
this is what is what I like. Now I'm bringing
up the subject and you're yelling at me.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
That's right. It's usually the other way around, calling.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, I want to speak to Josh.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I'm sick of this.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
All right, One more segment coming up and another final
thoughts from Josh Moody. And he's the attorney who is
the pastathon winner. And you know what you're from now,
you at home could be doing this if you a
bit enough money at the pastathon. I imagine we'll probably
have the same prize again. Yes I'm being told yes already.
And you know, Deborah, you could bid and what wait
(24:03):
what you can bid on the Pastathon, and you could
have an hour of just you know able to do
that anyway, have an hour of Debra's topics.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I am on with you every.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
No but center on you like all the punish you
remember Ken used to have Little Debbie's corner. That's right,
who is that closure? He sounds like the wicked witch
of the West.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Oh God, this is not good for my throat to.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Be like, all right, you came on a good day.
Because you're here.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
She doesn't have to talk as much exactly because she
can barely get the news out.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Our final segment. I really had a good time and
thank you for coming. Well, thank you me too. I
didn't pass out or nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
No.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Josh Moody here.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
He's an attorney in Apple Valley and he's Pastathon Winter
bit on the prize at the highest bid, spent several
thousand dollars and got the co host of show for today.
All the money went to Katerina's club, Chef Bruno's charity.
He's feeding kids all over Orange County and beyond.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
All right, So We just started talking about this off
the air.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
This is a great story to go out on how
this sums up Los Angeles Right now, you heard about
in Westlake the homeless encampment where two bodies were found.
We have a report from KTLA reporter Rachel mennetov Bay
close attention here.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
A heartbreaking discovery. A forty six year old woman now
identified by the medical examiner as Lucrescia Masias Barrajas and
another man were found dead inside this tent on Huntley
Drive near the Westlake district. It sits on a corner
wedged in between LAUSD headquarters, an apartment building, and a
local high school. A neighbor who recorded the chaotic aftermath
(26:00):
believes the woman's daughter was looking for her mom, who
had gone missing days prior. She apparently ripped open the
fabric around the encampment, only to find her loved one dead,
with signs she may have been mulled by a dog.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
When I heard her harrowing experience, it just shook us
all to our core. We all just thought of shaking
because we knew, we absolutely knew someone's dad outside.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
This man wants to remain anonymous. He's concerned about his
safety is.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
The entire electrical setup that they have is the reason
why tax paying citizens don't even have power for ourselves.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
But he felt it was important to talk about the
chronic dangers of this homeless encampment, which attracts drug users
and people breeding and mistreating their animals.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
If you lived outside of this yourself, if this was
something you saw every time you had to step out
and bite your neighbors, invite your family in, then you.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Would see reality.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
You would see reraality extremely differently.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Another person who works in the area tells Katla that
no one abides by the signage over here, whether it's
parking or camping related. She said, quote, everyone is well
aware the police drive by here several times a day,
she calls three one one, but the tents and the
destructive behavior persists. These concerns come as Governor Newsom is
(27:08):
calling on cities and counties to immediately address unhealthy encampments.
He released a model ordinance this week with provisions prohibiting
persistent camping in one location and a requirement for local
officials to provide notice and make an effort to provide
shelter prior to clearing an encampment. It's time to take
these encampments and provide alternatives, and the state is giving
(27:31):
you more resources than ever. Longtime residents hope the mayor
and city council take this to heart. After all, they
say it's their well being on the line.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Wells surely angry mostly has carried than anything, because even
just reporting this is just they're gonna feel offended. They're
going to feel like we did something wrong here just
by telling them. They say they want somewhere to live. However,
it says nothing but danger and death.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Lapd says no foul play is suspected. We just heard
from the mayor's office who says this case reinforces the
urgent need to ask this grave humanitarian crisis. She said
she's working with the council to bring more Angelinos inside
and to improve public safety.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
No, you go first, I'll take night for tomorrow. I
think I'm bringing it back this one tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So did I hear that right?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Because sometimes I think I'm gonna say the daughter finds
her mom dead in a tent and half eaten by.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Dogs, and it's known and then and the neighborhood keeps
calling and nobody does anything about this.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Encampment, but they're signs.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
But there are several signs, and the police keep driving
and the police drive by, and then we have to
give them notice before we kick them out.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
There's a sign. Yeah. You couldn't make this up.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's like a horror movie.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, Newsom's lack of leader.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
I mean, Newsom, if if here's some leadership advice, Yeah,
local authorities go in and arrest these people, kick them out.
That's because what we're giving more money isn't working. Yeah,
if you really want to lead from the front, tell
these the communities what they need to do.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Kick them out, clear it out, throw their stuff away.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I mean it's really time to call in the National
Guard and just go block to block and say this
is over.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Get out.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Yeah, and I call you know, bass scarecrow if she
only had a brain. But again, more of those those
those uh press releases, yea, the canned press releases. This
incident shows why it's necessary. It's like and this is
where this is where their empathy just gets so it's
(29:32):
doing more harm than good. And I've then that whole
report by that reporter. I felt bad for those people
who lived that even you could hear in their voice. Yeah,
we're trying to do something. Nobody's helping us. Yeah, and
I feel I feel horrible for those people. They're living
that every day. Yeah, and Eric saved that one.
Speaker 1 (29:51):

been working on that for hours. And she's a she's
a prosecutor. Uh, she's at it even higher level. You're
you're attorney, but she's a prosecutor. I think that the
guy had the name Colbel spelled with the K and
(01:17):
a y. It's like one vowel.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's Polish. Yeah, that's what happens. But the Danish name is.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
There's there's no fowels in the Polish language. So all right,
So anyway, what this is, it's your turn.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
You you tell me.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
What's what's on your mind, what you're upset about, what
issue you think ought to be covered, and you know,
we'll just still go from there.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Wow, all of the above. Yeah, living in California, there
there are. There are two Californias, wouldn't wouldn't you say? Yes,
there there are in a lot of different ways because
there are a lot of people. Not to bore you
too much, but I went to my high school reunion
a few years ago, and there was just a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:57):
Of group, a big group of us who grew up
in the LA area.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And then you just.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
Disperse, Yeah, and where'd you grow up in La Glendora, Glenor. Yeah,
so it's uh about well, it's about I don't know
what twenty miles. Maybe I used to say twenty minutes,
but now it's now it's an.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Hour, right, right.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
So all right, so you see you're forty seven, so
you went to high school you know, about thirty plus
years ago. Yeah, so yeah, that would be in the
mid nineties, correct, Yeah, uh yeah, well, I mean that's
that's near the time where my wife and I first
came here, right, and we started having kids, and yeah,
a dramatic.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Shock, right, and there's we'll talk about it as a native.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yeah, and there's nobody's there's nobody at least the people
that I talked to that still lived there. In fact,
one of my best friends, I hope, hope he's listening.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
I told him to.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
His parents just sold their house about two years ago,
and he's about the last person I know who's still
in that area because everybody's just moved out and moved
and gone. And glend Door is nice, but it's also expensive. Now, yeah,
you talked about the housing crisis. You could you could
afford a house back then, you know, in your mid
twenties and start making a house. There's no way you
(03:08):
can afford a lot of these houses in your mid
twenties now with the requirements, you know, with every with
everything going on, So you have to go to the suburbs.
And a lot of my friends and a lot of
people I knew, and you know lost, you know, you
lose contact with people and then you get get back
with them. They are they're in the in the umpire,
they're up north. And you had a guest on the
(03:29):
other day, I don't remember who, but he made a
good point of people are leaving California to go to
the freezing part of Idaho.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
Yes, I remember that, and that's a good point.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's true.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Well they're going to places that people used to complain
about the weather. Like a lot of people have gone
to Texas from California, right, And I remember I first
got here, and people go Texas that that it's hot,
it's humid, there's mosquitos everywhere, and.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
We talk about that about you know Florida. No we're
not we're not there yet. I got to play some Florida.
We were already built an escape auch.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We're not that miserable yet, but it is.
Speaker 6 (04:06):
It's humid, it's there's alligators.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Yeah, I was in I was in Miami a few
weeks ago and the lady there's a tour and this
lady's like, oh, this is the only place in the
world where alligators and crocodiles co exist.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
No, that's true, going there because that's where the saltwater
meets the fresh water. You've taken the tour, Yeah, alligators
in the fresh water are your salt water?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah, no, I'll avoid all the water.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'm no, I've seen some of the alligators there. There's
a there's a stretch of road and they have because
the rains can be really heavy, right, so they have
these gullies along the side of the road, right, and
it creates you know, these these ponds, ye, these drainage canals.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Alligators are laying in them. Yeah. No, thanks, not for me.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
I'll deal with I'll complain in traffic and yell on
my radio until I deal a crocodiles.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Well, a lot of people have decided it's that bad.
I'd rather take on the take on the crocodiles.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
And that's just what you know, that's kind of the
thing we just I tell people all the time is
just how long have you been here in twenty thirty years,
even fifteen? Are things better? Have things gotten better? Have
your taxes gotten better? Has your commute gotten better? Has
your job gotten better? Has your pega? And the answer
to a lot of those is no. And yeah, it's
knowing all of that, no, on all of it. And
(05:18):
you know what's that all the politicians love to say
this definition of insanity is doing the same thing.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Over and over again, and here in California we do it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
We're doing We're doing it. Yeah, So where did the
insanity come from?
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I think I think a lot of people are just
born with it.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
But I just remember they voted for normal people, whether
it was Democrats and Republicans, they were relatively normal.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You know. When I came here.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Pete Wilson was governor, right, and Tom Bradley and then
Richard Reardon was the mayor. And the nineties were great,
and the two thousands were great, I mean great. Davis
Schwarzenegger was you know, a celebrity version, but he was
within the norm range.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Now it's the super woke, super progressive nonsense, That's what
I was saying.
Speaker 5 (06:06):
I mean, you know, Gray Davis gets recalled and I
think nowadays begging for somebody like great Dave, that's right,
somebody normal.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, Schwarzenegger lied and sold everybody out, but even he
would be welcome over over Newsham.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Right and whoever's and we keep yeah, I know the
Menendez brothers. Things is big right now, and people are
talking about whether or not Newsom's going.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
To Oh, I think he will.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
Now, I don't think he will.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You don't think so.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
I'm worried about the next person because it keeps getting
worse and worse and worse. Yeah, I mean Newsom's well,
he's riding the clock out, right, I mean he's got
a year left.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I believe a year in change.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Six months, yeah, about year and a half. I think
he's just riding the clock out. But Mike, because I mean,
we went from Schwarzenegger and like, I can't be worse
than Schwarzenegger. Jerry Brown's coming back.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
He can't be that bad. No, Schwarzenegger turned out to
be really bad.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
I don't want anybody to misunderstand though, but it's just
it's gotten so much worse. It's like these guys are
starting to look like, well, it wasn't that bad that then.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
It's like, well, and then we get brown.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
I was like, well, okay, the next guy can't be
that bad, and they get new so well and now
my now I'm saying, well, the next person can't be
that bad.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Well, do you know any of your friends, like your
al high school friends or your adult friends who went
woke on you?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
What woke? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:17):
From high school or because I just have to believe
that some people used to vote for normal and then
they started going woke unless they're not aware of what
they're voting for.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
No.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
I mean, I think a lot of the woke, at
least the woke on the left is uh uh, the younger,
like maybe people ten fifteen years younger than me, right,
people who are like turning thirty, Now, that seems to
be I mean a lot of most of my friends
are similar. They just like you said, they vote for
the best person. They the person over party.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
I've seen that in a while.
Speaker 5 (07:52):
Well that's the problem is once I got so crazy,
you're forcing me onto this one.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I mean, in the mid nineties, people will probably get
be shocked to hear this, but the Republicans actually controlled
the Assembly for a couple of years in the mid nineties,
I remember I was alive then, and now you know
the in I think in the Assembly, it's like it's
like seventy seventy two to eight or seventy one to nine,
(08:16):
something like that.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
And that was just looking back as a complete lack
of leadership on the Republican Party back then. Yeah, there
was no leadership and you just allowed one party rule
to take over.
Speaker 6 (08:26):
And you know, there's that.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
But I think a lot of people from my high
school and my friends, I mean, yeah, they're not They
have other things other than politics, and they look at
those things.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
What's the issue of the day. Is it taxes? Is
it traffic?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And how do we.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
Is this person or that person going to make my
life better? And you know, I think the big part too,
I think of the radical shift in this state was
in the two thousands or so when the Republican Party
just started an under Schortz, nigger just started taxing everybody
just like everybody.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, I know, Well it made a terrible mistake when
it cave in and did what every other Democrat.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Did, right, Because if there's nobody sticking up for us
on taxes, why am I going to vote for you
when I can vote for who I know is going
at least I know what I'm getting out of this
this side.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
All right, hang on, we got more coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You're listening to Josh Moody, the pastathon winner, an attorney
from the Apple Valley area, and we're going to continue
with him. He won the pastathon bidding War.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
The last segment, I mixed up the Assembly in the
state Senate. The Democrats have a sixty to twenty advantage
in the Assembly, which is still more than two thirds,
whether they can do what they want or it's yeah,
three quarters.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Death by hanging, death by that's right.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And in the in the in the Assembly, and that's
the Assembly and the Senator, it's thirty to ten. So
it's sixty twenty and thirty to ten. So they have
better than a two thirds majority in both houses.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
And so an all nine voted elected physician. I believe
there's nine positions, right, governored to Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, governor,
lieutenant governor, secretary of state, the whole thing.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah right, So what else? What else? Budge you?
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (10:11):
We were uh, do you want to talk about what's
bugging us or we were just talking about what makes
us happy?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
It makes you happy? Yeah, baseball, we'll look into baseball
for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Yeah, well Dodger fan, I bet right.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Yeah, yeah, we like my parents had these in tickets,
you know, the Dodgers. When I was growing up and
went to the eighty four Olympics, I was probably before
your time, before I lived yeah, before you lived here. Yeah,
so yeah, Dodgers, you know, leave Dodger blue. So I
grew up a Mets fan. Oh, but Dodgers were the
second favorite.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah. Well I got a Steve Garby autograph when I
was eleven.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
Want me too, well, when I was younger too, right.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
But the yeah, the Mets what they've replaced the Dodgers
out there and people the Dodger contingency in New York
is still.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Oh it's still big.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
When they I mean Mets is coming to play the
Dodgers first week of June here, it's gonna sell out.
I'm sure right now you get to the games. Or
is the hours and hours of traffic is it too daunting?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
It's very daunting. We actually travel more. It's a lot
cheaper to travel.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Cheaper cheaper to go to the away game, so yeah,
very much. Oh yeah, man, we'll get We'll see now.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Now you know that they ought to be ashamed of
themselves in Sacramento for creating a situation where it's cheaper
to go to a Dodger game in another state.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
So you could probably look, you could look online.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Somebody fact check me.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
But we were talking about going to the game tonight,
but it's shoho taani bobblehead.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Right, No, yeah, it's impossible. Yeah, we know, and you
might not get a bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Uh no, I've heard.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
I believe Ray just told us that they they're guaranteeing
everybody bobblehead.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Oh, they are to try to.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, get the crowd out because friend of mine went
to like the last one of the earlier bubblehead games,
and he was furious because he ran into the two
hour traffic jam from the west side, the long line
to get in with the car, then the long line
to get into the stadium right and go through the security,
and he finally gets there and they're out of babble
(12:15):
heads because they only had forty thousand, and he was
like furious, like he was mad the whole game yea,
he couldn't even watch the game he was so pissed off.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
Yeah, well, I told you earlier we were in Florida
with crocodiles and alligators live in harmony. It was because
the Dodgers were there, and you're able to get a
relatively cheap flight, cheap hotel, and the tickets behind home
playter like, you know, one hundred bucks. Well, what's one
hundred dollars ticket get you a Dodger stadium? On bubblehead ninety?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
It gets you I think you get to sit in
the parking lot, listen to the game on the radio.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So we've been traveling a lot trying to hit all
thirty stadiums, no kiddy, Yeah, yeah, And it's cheap, cheaper
we'll buy a tawny bubblehead online or something.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah. Ticket tonight's eighty bucks. Keeps tickets eight. What are
you sitting in the upper upper deck? Upper deck in
the corner? Yep, right by the foul pole, right by
there you go, foul pole. Ticket in the upper deck
for eighty bucks.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
For eighty bucks. Yeah, what's uh? What's the loads you
get you? What's the cheapest loads that's gonna I'll check. Yeah,
that's going to be over. That's got to be I'm
guessing minimum two hundred.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Eric runs a ticket selling operation on the side, so
you can he can give it the prices right away
because he's always scrambling to get last minute tickets as
cheaply as possible.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
I'm seeing in the loads anywhere between like one twenty
and one seventy.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
Oh okay, coming down a little bit then the other day.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I mean being here, you're closer. Yeah, right, that's what
we were talking.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Oh, it has taken me from Burbank like over an
hour to get to the stadium. Yeah, it's and that that,
you know, and I and I zigzag through uh the park,
Echo Park or something, and well yeah, Echo Park. You
can get off on either the I don't know the
one on one or where you take the two for
a little while. There's like a whole roundabout way and
(13:59):
then what was the name I'm blanking out on the
park Allian Yeah, yeah, Lesion Park.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And on all these extremely hilly side roads. Googles taking
us there too.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, right way up, way down like you're on roller coaster.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
People out there offering to park your car for you.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, they're are free to take the car off your
hands that we're trying to. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't.
You don't really want that card? Yeah right, we'll take.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
It'll be here when you get back.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yeah, all right. More coming up. We're with Josh Moody.

Chef Bruno, thanks you, we all, thank you for your generous.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
You get the show for free. So well today you did,
but today you had to pay. No, it's very generous
of you. There, No, I know this is actually fun,
all right? So what else is on your mind? Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:51):
This is this is this is where you decide the
topics and which way we're going? Which way are we going?
The gas prices? Right, yeah, you're here. We might get
be paying eight fifty nine dollars a gallon. At what
point do people care?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
At what point do At what point do the people
who are so addicted to their blue no matter who
or their climate agenda?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
At what point did they say, you.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Know what, I know this is attesting and maybe maybe
we've gone a little.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Too far on because I mean, there have been tremendous
revolts around the world of gasoline.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Remember remember going back.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
To Gray Davis quig three Davis, right, Remember he increased
the car tax one hundred bucks. Yeah, I mean gas
has gone up one hundred bucks a week. And yeah,
he raised the car tax one hundred bucks and that
got him kicked out of office, end.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Of the end of his political career and opened the door.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
For people had no problem recalling Democrats like we were
recalling a Republican.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Remember when when you first came. I know, I know,
and it doesn't matter, but yeah.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
But he you know what he'd done. I remember he
had done a one to eighty on a tack, right,
and that's what they were we were going to go
off the financial cliff if we don't vote for this, right,
But you know, they know they signed they signed the pledge.
Remember that, Yes, they signed a pledge I will never
vote for a tax increase, right, Well, and.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Then a bunch of Republicans voters for a TAXI that's
right y? Yeah, yeah, So, I mean it's been both parties,
you know, for for a long time now.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
But I don't know. I mean, you probably heard.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
We go through the triple A gas price report every
day and somebody sent in one of our listeners in
Oklahoma sent in two dollars and thirty six cents.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
And that's what I was gonna ask you, because I've
been yelling at my radio all week? What do you
think the average price of gasoline is, or would be
if we took out Alaska, Hawaii, and California. It's probably
going to go down another right, Yeah, it's probably go
down another quarter, just because you know, Hawaiian, Alaska outliers. Yes,
and we're obviously an outlier by our own making. Right,
(17:52):
So what do you think the average price would actually
be without the three of them?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Could be under three bucks? Again?
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah, because I saw that twenty seven states are under
three bucks, including a lot of big states, right, like
like New Jersey and Massachusetts, and New York's only at
about three ten. The national average I saw was like
three between three ten and three fifteen. You know, it
goes up and down a couple of pennies every day.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I'm the guy who brings a gas can with me
when I go to Vegas, trying to get an extra
six gallons out.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Of it and bring it home. Do you really do that?
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Not so much anymore, But when I did a long time,
when I had my truck.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
You know, I mean you have a truck six gallons?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, So I mean in France, they had the Yellow
Vest riots, remember, I mean there were fire set and
people were really got violent because of some kind of
relatively mild tax compared to what we're going through. And
I'm so envious. It's like, where is our Yellow Vest riot?
Where are people really taking to the street. You look
(18:53):
at what people like protest over right.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
And you know they're saying that California has the fourth
largest economy, now, which okay, may or may not be true,
but is it.
Speaker 6 (19:04):
Really a movie economy?
Speaker 5 (19:06):
Because what really pushes economies and grows them is cheaper energy.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
And we don't have cheap energy. We have expensive gas,
we have expensive electricity.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Well, it's out it's so weighted towards the tech companies, right,
and the people who work for those companies. When I
saw the average Facebook engineer a couple of years ago,
I saw I was making four hundred thousand a year.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Well, I think all the.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
People who work for Meta and Google and Apple. I mean,
if they're all making three, four or five hundred thousand
dollars a year just sitting and staring at a screen,
all right, there's your economy.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
And it's a service economy. It doesn't produce anything. It
doesn't there's no goods that come with it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
And it sends likes out.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yes, And those people who make that kind of money
can live a few blocks away from their work and
the price of gas doesn't affect them.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
And I've just seen like five bucks roughly agall and
now you know it's you can get it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
It's more expensive.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
It's more expensive here than it is out in Sammerndino.
It's at least fifty cents more more more here in
l La County.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, oh yeah, oh definitely, yeah, you go, you go
to you ever go with border in Arizona?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Oh yeah, it's in the threes.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
It suddenly drops by like a dollar fifty once you
cross the border.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And that's what and that's why they say you're going
back to baseball.
Speaker 5 (20:23):
That's why they say Dodger State or Chase Field is
Dodger Stadium East, Right, it's so easy to go.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
There, right, and cheaper in the hotels and the tickets
are cheaper.
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So Arizona is another one.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Yeah, that's really cheap.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And it's going to be like a triple whammie within
the next eighteen months because you're going to have this
California Air Resources Board with the new fuel standard that's
sixty five cents there. How is carb even legal? How
is that a legal entity? It shouldn't be because you
can't you can't elect them, correct, you can't replace them.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
The legislature passed up. Isn't the legislature job to legislate?
And if they pass that off onto somebody else, I
can't complain to my right legislature to say hey, don't
do this. And you get guys like Newsom who say
it's not my fault. It's this organization that nobody.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Nearly everyone on that board is a Newsom in point appointee. Yeah,
I think to like eleven out of twelve voting members
something like that.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
Right, it gives the legislature and the governor the buffer
to write to make an excuse for their policies.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So that you know, now I see, you know, I
still wonder when I was a kid some of the
oppressive regimes, like whether it's communists China, the old Soviet Union,
Cuba and other countries like that.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It's like why do people put up with this? And
now I'm watching them, you know, it's like, oh, we
gotta pay nine dollars a going okay.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
And at what point is I mean, we have a
lot of Amazon centers here in southern California, Walmart centers, right,
it's a big hub for to get goods out to
other states. How are they Are they paying it? We
are their big trucks. It's going to be passed off
all it is. The shipping prices get get higher. Yeh
when you click on it. There's really no days for
us to be such an outlier.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
And then there's two The other two events are going
to be the two refineries that are closed, one up
in northern California and in Benetia and then one in
Carson here.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
And that's another going back to your original the first
question you asked me earlier today was what's changed in
southern California? And I remember you couldn't drive down anywhere
and even in the city of La and you'd.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
See those big pumps. Remember those?
Speaker 5 (22:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, they were everywhere. Yeah, I remember that.
And I haven't seen one of those in what twenty years.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
No, We've got an enormous amount of energy that we
walk over every day. It's underground, it leaks out. You
can smell a br right exactly. It's actually bubbling up
to w't to touch that might make the carbon No,
so we buy the oil from Saudi Arabia like Venezuela,
what like their emissions don't go into the same atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's what's so crazy, That's what I do.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
It's scially how stupid everybody is if we're gonna use
the same amount of gas and oil.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
So they make it there, we end up paying much
more money. It's still going up into the atmosphere, and.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
We're shipping our jobs there. We don't have people working
in refineries here like we used to. Yeah, so se see,
this is what is what I like. Now I'm bringing
up the subject and you're yelling at me.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
That's right. It's usually the other way around, calling.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, I want to speak to Josh.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I'm sick of this.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
All right, One more segment coming up and another final
thoughts from Josh Moody. And he's the attorney who is
the pastathon winner. And you know what you're from now,
you at home could be doing this if you a
bit enough money at the pastathon. I imagine we'll probably
have the same prize again. Yes I'm being told yes already.
And you know, Deborah, you could bid and what wait
(24:03):
what you can bid on the Pastathon, and you could
have an hour of just you know able to do
that anyway, have an hour of Debra's topics.
Speaker 6 (24:09):
I am on with you every.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
No but center on you like all the punish you
remember Ken used to have Little Debbie's corner. That's right,
who is that closure? He sounds like the wicked witch
of the West.
Speaker 6 (24:32):
Oh God, this is not good for my throat to.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Be like, all right, you came on a good day.
Because you're here.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
She doesn't have to talk as much exactly because she
can barely get the news out.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Our final segment. I really had a good time and
thank you for coming. Well, thank you me too. I
didn't pass out or nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
No.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Josh Moody here.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
He's an attorney in Apple Valley and he's Pastathon Winter
bit on the prize at the highest bid, spent several
thousand dollars and got the co host of show for today.
All the money went to Katerina's club, Chef Bruno's charity.
He's feeding kids all over Orange County and beyond.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
All right, So We just started talking about this off
the air.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
This is a great story to go out on how
this sums up Los Angeles Right now, you heard about
in Westlake the homeless encampment where two bodies were found.
We have a report from KTLA reporter Rachel mennetov Bay
close attention here.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
A heartbreaking discovery. A forty six year old woman now
identified by the medical examiner as Lucrescia Masias Barrajas and
another man were found dead inside this tent on Huntley
Drive near the Westlake district. It sits on a corner
wedged in between LAUSD headquarters, an apartment building, and a
local high school. A neighbor who recorded the chaotic aftermath
(26:00):
believes the woman's daughter was looking for her mom, who
had gone missing days prior. She apparently ripped open the
fabric around the encampment, only to find her loved one dead,
with signs she may have been mulled by a dog.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
When I heard her harrowing experience, it just shook us
all to our core. We all just thought of shaking
because we knew, we absolutely knew someone's dad outside.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
This man wants to remain anonymous. He's concerned about his
safety is.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
The entire electrical setup that they have is the reason
why tax paying citizens don't even have power for ourselves.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
But he felt it was important to talk about the
chronic dangers of this homeless encampment, which attracts drug users
and people breeding and mistreating their animals.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
If you lived outside of this yourself, if this was
something you saw every time you had to step out
and bite your neighbors, invite your family in, then you.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Would see reality.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
You would see reraality extremely differently.
Speaker 7 (26:46):
Another person who works in the area tells Katla that
no one abides by the signage over here, whether it's
parking or camping related. She said, quote, everyone is well
aware the police drive by here several times a day,
she calls three one one, but the tents and the
destructive behavior persists. These concerns come as Governor Newsom is
(27:08):
calling on cities and counties to immediately address unhealthy encampments.
He released a model ordinance this week with provisions prohibiting
persistent camping in one location and a requirement for local
officials to provide notice and make an effort to provide
shelter prior to clearing an encampment. It's time to take
these encampments and provide alternatives, and the state is giving
(27:31):
you more resources than ever. Longtime residents hope the mayor
and city council take this to heart. After all, they
say it's their well being on the line.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Wells surely angry mostly has carried than anything, because even
just reporting this is just they're gonna feel offended. They're
going to feel like we did something wrong here just
by telling them. They say they want somewhere to live. However,
it says nothing but danger and death.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
Lapd says no foul play is suspected. We just heard
from the mayor's office who says this case reinforces the
urgent need to ask this grave humanitarian crisis. She said
she's working with the council to bring more Angelinos inside
and to improve public safety.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
No, you go first, I'll take night for tomorrow. I
think I'm bringing it back this one tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So did I hear that right?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Because sometimes I think I'm gonna say the daughter finds
her mom dead in a tent and half eaten by.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
Dogs, and it's known and then and the neighborhood keeps
calling and nobody does anything about this.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Encampment, but they're signs.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
But there are several signs, and the police keep driving
and the police drive by, and then we have to
give them notice before we kick them out.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
There's a sign. Yeah. You couldn't make this up.
Speaker 6 (28:42):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
It's like a horror movie.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Yeah, Newsom's lack of leader.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
I mean, Newsom, if if here's some leadership advice, Yeah,
local authorities go in and arrest these people, kick them out.
That's because what we're giving more money isn't working. Yeah,
if you really want to lead from the front, tell
these the communities what they need to do.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
Kick them out, clear it out, throw their stuff away.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I mean it's really time to call in the National
Guard and just go block to block and say this
is over.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Get out.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
Yeah, and I call you know, bass scarecrow if she
only had a brain. But again, more of those those
those uh press releases, yea, the canned press releases. This
incident shows why it's necessary. It's like and this is
where this is where their empathy just gets so it's
(29:32):
doing more harm than good. And I've then that whole
report by that reporter. I felt bad for those people
who lived that even you could hear in their voice. Yeah,
we're trying to do something. Nobody's helping us. Yeah, and
I feel I feel horrible for those people. They're living
that every day. Yeah, and Eric saved that one.
