Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four and after
four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand also on the
iHeart app. We're going to have two rounds of the
Moistline next hour. We covered a lot of the about
the arrest of the Charlie Kirk murderer in the first hour,
and if you want to hear that later, you can
(00:24):
listen to the podcast for that. But there are things
happening close to home which we cannot of net neglect
because then everything gets out of hand, doesn't it. There
is a huge homeless encampment in Korea Town, a gigantic one,
and it's so big they have their own tennis court.
(00:47):
I know it's hard to believe, but we've got to
report here from ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Let's play this. Why did you reach out to seven
on your side?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Because you know, I've seen this grow and grow and
become unsafe, you know, more and more unsafe.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Sigmund Lee has had it and you probably would too
if this is what you saw from the unit you own.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
This in canon has popped.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Up in a vacant lot right out a residential street
in LA's Korea town. It even has a makeshift sports
court in it.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's a whole community, right, There's a tennis court, there's
a there's a garden where they're growing stuff, there's a
barbecue pit.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
And he's far from the only one upset about people
putting up tents and moving in.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I've had people follow me or just like try to
talk to me.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
It's like not very safe anymore.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
They come and take packages and stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
The reason why people are sleeping here is because you
leaders are sleeping on not taking an initiative and action
to clean this place up.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
You seem kind of fed up with this.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I'm very pissed. I'm upset.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
One of the reasons for all that anger is because
residents of this encammen have brokento this street light, shoved
a surge protector into it, and are running power across
the street and into the camp.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Thank god it hasn't raained it a while. It's a
fire hazard, right, and then they run the cable across
the sheet and it's a trip hazard for everyone.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Segment has complained to three to one one, but says
he's only seen this encampment grow. The council member for
this neighborhood is Katie Yuroslavsky.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
From your perspective, where did this go wrong and why
are people in your districts still dealing with this property?
Speaker 5 (02:26):
So chey.
Speaker 8 (02:27):
I think that the challenge comes from the fact that
this is private property.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Because it's private property, there's.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
A different path, and that path is convoluted.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
It's over bureaucratic.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
It's the city at its worst sort of not being
able to get out of its own way.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
The owner of the property is an LLC registered in Delaware.
They never returned our request for comment, but the council
member says they are cooperating and should be putting up
no trespassing signs along this fence soon, which will then
allow LAPD.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
To step in.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
LA's Apartment of Building Safety says it's issuing in order
to applying to the property owner to address the security rubbish, garbage,
trash and debris. But council Member Uroslavsky says Building Safety
needs to start acting faster, so the pressure is on
when properties end up like this.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
We immediately called EBS and said, hey, get out there,
please send an inspector out there so we can start
this process. And it took a while, but they've finally
gotten someone out there.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Is that acceptable?
Speaker 5 (03:24):
No, of course it's not acceptable.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
As for the electors leg while seven on your side
was there, someone came out of the encampment to unplug
the cord, wrapped up the wiring and slipped right back inside.
Public Work tells us that we'll be putting an anti
vandal wrap around the street light, and Segman now finally
has some answers.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Thank you so much for the help. You guys made
huge difference in days that I can do in once,
but get this.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Public Work tells us if it takes weeks to get
that wrap around.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
There because of a backlog.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
Now, we did also reach out to Mayor Bass's office
as well. It tells us I have sent outreach teams
to that encounterment this week to try and move some
of those people inside.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
All right, So that's great, oh man, If by chance
the owner of the property doesn't comply with the orders
that are issued by the Department of.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Building a Safety, what's next? What happens?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Well, there would be with a six hundred and sixty
dollars fee. We asked the council woman, Is that v enough?
She says, no, it is.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Not a fee. They get charged a fee.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Okay, here out look, Katie yar As Slatsky is an idiot.
I like when politicians when they're cornered, they take a
big pause. If I get her clip out, you can
pick right and they sew everybody does that now, Well,
so so what.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Idiot?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
They've been complaining for months? But yeah, play this genius again.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
We immediately called EBS and said hey, get out there,
please send an inspector out there so we can start
this process. And it took a while, but they finally
gotten someone out there.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Is that acceptable?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
No, of course it's not acceptable.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
That's the other part. And and when when you when you.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Tell them, they have a line like, well it's not acceptable,
Well what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's not acceptable? Apparently it was.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It was acceptable for months. It went on for you
got the first part again, Yeah, got so.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
The challenge, it's just an advantage of it property. There's
a different path and that path is conlluded.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
That's over bureaucratic. Well it's the city at its worst.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Stop you're on the city council. Fix the path. You
could have done that many years ago. All these boobs
of the city.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Council, they spend all their time passing social justice resolutions.
That's what they do with their time in the city council.
There are a bunch of progressive goofs idiots.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
This should have been taken care of on Dave.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, it's a complicated paths, it's overly bureaucal No, it's oh,
it's not. That is a huge fire hazard. I think
the fire department should have jurisdiction to come in there
and clear that out immediately before the whole block burns down.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And don't tell me otherwise. You're so full of crap.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And then bass as well, they're so just why is
it you can contact the building services although they don't
get out there fast enough.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Because nobody can get fired, So it really doesn't matter
what you ask them to do, because the city Council
has no power, the mayor has no power over a
bunch of they're like like they are like slabs of
meat in that.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Building safety office.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Nobody really gets up and do anything, unless, of course
they're having a bachelor party and it's time for beer
and booze and nunkers.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Then people get energized.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The Apartment of Building Safety is issuing in order to
comply to an order, to comply to the property owner,
to address the security, rubbish, garbage, trash, and to.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Bring again it took months.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You have to go to channel seven, and Channel seven
has to have a reporter available for that and an
interest by some assignment editor or producer to do this.
Otherwise you are stuck with this filthy, disgusting lot which
has its own tennis scre oh and it has its
own own grill. Well that's where the fires start. Everybody
(07:22):
should have been arrested. Well, well we can do it
if they put up no trespassing signs.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Why don't you fix that stupid rule too, or why
don't you ignore the rules? You ignore the stuff you
want everybody to ignore. Federal immigration law. Right, you think
all that, all those federal laws and immigration should be ignored.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Why don't we start ignoring the rule that.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Says you have to have a no trespassing sign where
people can build their own their own grill with tennis court,
homeless encampment. They're so full that they lied, they lied,
They lie. Fast has that disease. Arislovsky has the disease.
Newsome has the disease. They don't want to displace the homeless.
(08:09):
The homeless are protected in their religion. The holy trinity
of those who are protected by the woke progressive religion
are homeless people and criminals and illegal aliens and the
rest of us stupid peasants who pay whenever we complain
(08:29):
we're bad people.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
We are not.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
We don't have empathy. Most serious charge that they can
make in the progressive religion. You don't have empathy. You're
supposed to have empathy for the people who might burn
your neighborhood down.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Again, what if it's happening in their neighborhood. What if
it's happening next door to them. We never get that,
because then that would be a would that would be
the best thing happening, because then you're going to see
how they're going to change their tune.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
For sure, times I feel like like gathering up a
whole group of homeless people and taking them into some
politicians neighborhood. Yeah, and see how quickly the Department of
Building Services shows up.
Speaker 10 (09:13):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Debra came in here and said, you want some almonds? Okay,
she did that right before we were about to come back.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, hi, Vey, John wanted to know. I have to
just say this real quick.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
When I asked him if he wanted an almend, he
wanted to know if he needed to crack it open. Oh,
like I had a shell on it, the sunflower seater nistachio.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, all right, because when I've had almonds, to my memory, they.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Were smooth because they weren't salted.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And this one seems to have like ridges on it,
so I thought there was a shell around it. No,
it doesn't look like the way I remember almonds.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Because how long has it been since you've eaten amen?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh? As long as the drought's been going on?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Yeah, See that's why I gave it to him, because
he started off saying, you know, if we have a drought,
no water for you because you're eating almonds?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Is that? Ay?
Speaker 10 (10:07):
John?
Speaker 9 (10:07):
You want an almond, Sure, I'll try one, omens use,
but you just I gave you a bunch of that,
and I told you fall now too.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
You are eating almonds.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You've been eating almonds all week, which means when there
is water shortage, you don't get any water.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Okay, but you don't get any water either because you've
just been eating that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But if she doesn't get any water, and then she
can't shower, and then she's gonna smell when she comes
to work.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Girls never smell, don't you know that? That's fair?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
They never smell, and they never pass gas. Yes, they
fart unicorns and rainbows.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
All right?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Uh, this this, We've been talking about this all week.
We've got eight dollar gas coming to California and Newsome
is now the East panicking.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And we had Michael Mache on the USC.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Professor yesterday to talk about all the ramifications here. There's
two refineries closing. One is uh a literal refinery in Benicia?
Is that how you pronounce it? I've been calling a
Banetia and I noticed Mache was calling a Beanicia.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
No, it's well, I always called a Bantia Benicia.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You lived up there, I did.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
But you know what I did?
Speaker 9 (11:17):
I remember people saying Benisi Benicia too, but I always said.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Benicia, Benisia. Oh the miche was saying Benicia. Okay, so
there was like three pronunciations.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Here Bantia, but maybe it is Benicia, all.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right, now I'm choking on the almond shells.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Just choking on the actual almond, the almond crust whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
They let me say that some water.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
Oh my god, you're such a baby. All right, let
me google. Let me google Bantia while you're choking.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
All right, you do that. I think I packed water,
but it looks like I didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Bay.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Can you go get Johnson water.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
There's something useful.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Get me water now, Venetia. Okay, that's what Google says.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
What was I talking about? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So there's two oil refineries, one closing in Benetia, Valero
one closing here in southern California, Carson.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's Phillip sixty six.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And that's going to reduce the number of refineries in
the state to six. There'll be so little oil going
through the big oil pipeline in California that it may
be shut down. And then carbon has some new low
mileage fuel carbon tax, some low carbon tax. I don't
(12:44):
it adds up to eight to ten dollars a gallon.
You don't have to throw it at me. It is
getting increasingly hard to deal with her. I just want
you to know, Okay, I don't know what's gotten.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
Into her, but I was trying to put my newscast together.
I had to say to Eric, don't go to me,
so I can go get him.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Was she's yelling at me. She's yelling at Eric, she's
throwing things at me. Okay, So you have these two
refineries closing, and gas is already I think four to
sixty three a gathering. You go to many states, it's
in the two seventies and two eighties. It's just awful.
(13:30):
And Gavin Newsom is trying to get the state to
vote so we have more Democrats representing California in Congress.
I am astonished a guy who's performed so badly for
the state that there is a single person in any party, Independent, Democrat, Republican,
(13:52):
anybody would vote or agree to any of his policies
or any of his ideas. The man is costing you
two dollars more a gallon per gas than many other states,
and it's about a dollar fifty more than the average.
Why would you possibly give him more power? Why would
(14:13):
you possibly support any one of his ideas? Why would
you vote for him for president? Based on his track record?
The whole youth? Do you think the country is going
to vote for Gavin Newsom, if everybody is going to
have to pay five eight ten dollars a gallon, why
wouldn't he do to the whole country what he's done
here to California. And why do people in California sit
(14:35):
around and let him. This is one of the great
mysteries of the world. Well, so now he's panicking, and
I have to continue this after Deborah's news because now
the environmental groups are upset with Newsom because of his panic.
(14:56):
He had to agree to oil industry Demandsdustry is doing
what it must do. It's going to pack up and
leave the state unless Newsom stops the abuse. So they're packed,
they're ready to go. Now Newsom is panicking. Now it's
ten bucks a gallon. Can't believe the.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
World we're in.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock,
two rounds of the Moistline. Next hour at three twenty
and three point fifty. All right, So I was telling
you about how Gavin Newsom is truly in a panic
because gas prices are way high and they're headed towards
eight to ten dollars a gallon, because we have two
refineries closing. We have the oil pipeline in danger of
(15:46):
drying up because they're so little oil being transmitted through it.
He completely shut down oil drilling. I think there were
only seven permits filed in California last year. And suddenly
he's running for president. And how does he last more
than all I don't know, thirty seconds in a debate
(16:07):
when the first Democratic candidate running against him says, m
HAWKEM gas is two ninety eight my state, and it's
five dollars in your state, or it's eight dollars in
your estate, or ten dollars in your estate. And that's
what has this immature little boy panicked, is he wants
to be missed a president. He systematically consistently, overwhelmingly attacked
(16:36):
and dismantled the oil industry in the state, a state
where we used to have over forty refineries and now
potentially we're down to six. Trump has his drilling mandate,
and the price of gas I saw the other day
is now lower in the US. Get this, when you
(16:57):
adjust for inflation, it's lower in the US, less than
it has been in twenty years. People outside of California
are paying gas at prices that are at a twenty
year low, and we are paying four point fifty to
(17:21):
five dollars a gallon. And that's just an average. Came
out of lax the other night and all the stations
along the Supublic of Boulevard driving northward five twenty five.
So I don't know where the gas is going for
cheaper than four fifty. Must be somewhere. I haven't seen it.
Somewhere it averages out maybe I don't know. So now
(17:44):
he's passing a law or get it, Yeah, getting the
legislature to pass a law.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
That's uh, they're gonna they might.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
They might pay off Valero to keep their Benetia refinery running.
They tried to get an outside buyer a few weeks ago,
which was a huge joke because no, literally nobody in
the world wanted to buy the Mintia refinery. That's like
a thirty second conversation, Hi Ahi, this is Gavin Newsom.
(18:16):
You want to buy a refinery, And they said, no,
you have an extreme an extreme policy over regulating oil
companies in your state. No, taxes are extremely high. No,
they couldn't get a buyer around the world. Two hundred nations.
(18:39):
Everybody said no. It was like when they went trying
to find some company or some nation to invest in
high speed rail, they all said no. You know why,
because of California's political climate and all the corruption here.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
How's it going to run for president? So couldn't find
a buyer.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now he's offering Vollero two hundred million dollars of tax
money to run the place. And now the environment are
all the environmental groups and these people are crazy. They're
upset because Newsom has turned on them. They're still fighting,
(19:25):
it says here environmental groups, including a campaign backed by
Jane Fonda. Well, isn't that nice of her? This old
bag must be worth like one hundred million dollars and
she's trying to drive up the price of gas for
people who are making twelve dollars an hour.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
But she does look pretty darn good for her aide, Yeah, well,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Call her an old mag if you have thirty seven
construction workers on a forklift putting her face together every morning.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Oh that's rude.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I never got this thing about Jane Fonda. She makes
pronouncements we've go oh, wow, isn't that wonderful? Jane Fond
is one of the reasons you're paying five dollars an
hour gas, I guess because she finances these protest groups
or these environmental groups, and then they go to Newsome
and you know, they put pressure on Newsom, and they
also bribe Newsom with campaign contributions, and some of the
(20:27):
Democratic legislators are turning on him. Henry Stern, who's a Democrat,
said call me born again, but I have seen the
light on what you're talking about. It was telling Republicans
Kerrent County should be unleashed Bakersfield drill the oil. Apparently
this local bozo, Isaac Bryan, who's an assemblyman, he also
(20:50):
wants the state to allow more oil drilling. It's an
idea to streamlines environmental environmental permit for new oil wells.
Environmental justice groups have held this up, environmental justice. You
(21:11):
know who gets screwed by this is poor people. Even
the illegal aliens get screwed by this because they really
can't afford five dollars gas. Jane Fonda could afford five
hundred dollars a gallon gas. So who the hell is
(21:33):
this lady forcing the little unwashed peasants out there to
pay five bucks potentially eight or ten bucks in gas
because she says so, because you know she doesn't think
oil should be burned to power the economy. Well, first
(21:54):
of all, I think she's eighty seven years old. What's
her stake in determining our future here? She's not going
to be around once she goes down in the box
we're left with.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
It's just too harsh. We don't know if she's going
to go down in a box. She may be cremated,
she may become a tree.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
We all well, I guess so. But once she becomes
a tree, look, we all leave at some point. And
the idea that you're trying to finance groups who want
to destroy our ability to drill and process oil, I
don't know what's wrong with you out here out here
in the You know, like twenty five percent of the
(22:39):
state is in poverty and you're charging them five dollars
for gas. Of course that twenty five percent the ones
that are legal vote for Gavin Newsom. So I really
don't understand anything. I understand why left wingers vote for
progressive stuff because all the damage that comes out of
progressive policies doesn't bother them. They're living in a high
up on their hilltop mansions, which you could appreciate.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
You could appreciate I don't have a hilltop. You ever
have a mansion. You don't have a mansion, you have
a hilltop.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Safer on a hilltop.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
One of the one of the activists, Cassie Siegel, director
of the Center for Biological Diversity, What is particularly gut
wrenching about this moment. It follows on the heels of
some real leadership on the policies. We need strong leadership
from the government. This is gut wrenching. To try to
get the price of gas down below five dollars, this
(23:38):
is gut wrenching. How much money does Cassie Siegel make?
Does she got some wealthy husband who can pay twenty
bucks a gallon for gas? Doesn't bother her? These people
are so These are people are dangerous. They actually have
the power to dismantle the oil industry, and they have
to a very great extent. Cassie Siegel and Jane Fonda.
(23:58):
They dismantle the oil industry by pumping so much money
into democratic campaigns in this state.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
And then we're paying.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Five bucks, eight bucks, ten bucks a gallon down the road.
Why and when are all the people in the state
gonna say enough of this crap? Because the other forty
United States don't have this problem. Just us buy ourselves
and go look it up.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Coming up after three o'clock. Uh, there, there is there.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
There's a multi million dollar cleanup budget here in Los Angeles,
and LA is still disgusting and filled with trash.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Why is this?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Well, we're gonna talk with Jamie Page from the West
Side Current. Maybe she could explain why there's so much
garbage on the streets of Los Angeles considering how much
money they supposedly pay to keep it clean. And we
are the second dirtiest city in America. All right, here's
an animal story for you. Pennsylvania man he has been
(25:17):
banned from bringing into Walmart his emotional support alligator.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Emotional support alligator.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yes, this is true story, there's photos. His name is
Wesley Sylve, sixty years old. He sixty year old man
walks around with an alligator.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
Now I could be ignorant here, but don't alligators need water?
I mean I know that they go out of water.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
They can go out of water yes, they can.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
But then they have to go back in.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I guess eventually.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Yeah, okay, carry on.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
He has a pet named jin Seyoshi, looks like some
type of Japanese name, and he wanted to bring his
his alligator into the Walmart in West Brownsville, Pennsylvania. Usually,
I don't think anybody in a Walmart would even notice that.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You seen the people of Walmart.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
I think they would notice an alligator. And I didn't
know that there were alligators in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
He that's a good point, he says.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
This has never been an issue in the past in town.
We've gone to restaurants.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Oh, come on with an How big is this alligator?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Besized alligator? It fits in.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It fits in this shopping cart, though there's a baby.
It's thirty two pounds, and the alligator wears a gray dress.
There's a photo of the alligator looking pretty hot, pretty hot,
pretty hot in a gray dress and Silva pushes her
(26:55):
around in a shopping cart. There's another photo showing that
jin Sayoshi, the alligator is wearing a shirt with a harness.
I don't know what that's about. He's a little too
close to the alligator here, and he says that the
restaurants have never objected. We've been to Denny's. She's a
(27:17):
star there. She gets VIPRE treatment.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, of course she is. Who's going to go up
to the alligator? Yes, are you hungry?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Well, too bad, we don't serve alligators.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
She gets good treatment.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
He says, she's always on a leash, and he's very
upset with Walmart. Walmart's response is the safety of our
customers is our highest preer.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Ah, what's Walmart going to do when that alligator takes
a chomp out of a customer?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
We welcome service animals in our stores, but it is
unacceptable there's that word again, to expose members of the
public to potential danger. So alligators are not permitted on
our premises.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
How can an alligator be a support animal? I mean,
what kind of a support animals?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And I don't know about the emotional relationship that the
two of them have. Apparently they're they're very close. Walmart
says they only welcome service animals like dogs and miniature horses.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Oh, well, I would rather see a miniature horse.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I love horses are fine. Uh, animals around food really
bother me.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Oh you sound like my husband.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Now, your husband well, you.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
Guys are very similar in a lot of ways. It's
pretty scary.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
He uh, he is correct, though. Animals should should not
be in grocery stores. There was a dog in our
grocery store in my neighborhood and it was barking like crazy.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
So you just ignore it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Animals.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Animals have diseases and fleas and ticks and worms, and
you have a bacteria. Yes, but I don't let him
near my food. Silva claims nobody else has protested to
the public.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Now.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
They're too afraid you're going to stick your alligator on there.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That's just it.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
He doesn't know why everybody treats him someone nicely, because
if he's nutty enough to push an alligator around in
a dress in a shopping cart, he might be nutty
enough to send the alligator out to attack. He got
the alligator from a neighbor. The neighbor had gotten it
as a gift but wasn't able to take care of
it anymore.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
It's a hand me down alligator, that's right.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
It's just being passed around the neighborhood and he has
been strolling around town for three and a half years.
Alligators can grow to twelve feet long and weigh as
much as one thousand pounds. There is no state law
against owning an alligator a second time. In Pennsylvania, this
has happened in recent years. A fan was denied entry
(30:02):
into the Phillies Ballpark in twenty twenty three he tried
to go through the stadium's gate with his emotional support alligator.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
I've never heard of this before. You know, I love animals.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
I'm not a fan of alligators, and I don't think
they should be an emotional support animal.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I had an alligator dish for lunch. Oh, I really
did in New Jersey at the place where we got married.
It was this hotel restaurant venue, and you know, we
go to it occasionally to plan the wedding, and one
time they had it on the menu.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
So, Eric, isn't it time to do the news? We
don't want to hear about John eating apps.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Oh now you want to break on, yes, because.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
I don't want to hear about this anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
It really upsets you that a elegance absolutely debor mark
He's led in the KFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
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
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four and after
four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand also on the
iHeart app. We're going to have two rounds of the
Moistline next hour. We covered a lot of the about
the arrest of the Charlie Kirk murderer in the first hour,
and if you want to hear that later, you can
(00:24):
listen to the podcast for that. But there are things
happening close to home which we cannot of net neglect
because then everything gets out of hand, doesn't it. There
is a huge homeless encampment in Korea Town, a gigantic one,
and it's so big they have their own tennis court.
(00:47):
I know it's hard to believe, but we've got to
report here from ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Let's play this. Why did you reach out to seven
on your side?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Because you know, I've seen this grow and grow and
become unsafe, you know, more and more unsafe.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Sigmund Lee has had it and you probably would too
if this is what you saw from the unit you own.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
This in canon has popped.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Up in a vacant lot right out a residential street
in LA's Korea town. It even has a makeshift sports
court in it.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's a whole community, right, There's a tennis court, there's
a there's a garden where they're growing stuff, there's a
barbecue pit.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
And he's far from the only one upset about people
putting up tents and moving in.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I've had people follow me or just like try to
talk to me.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
It's like not very safe anymore.
Speaker 6 (01:37):
They come and take packages and stuff.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
The reason why people are sleeping here is because you
leaders are sleeping on not taking an initiative and action
to clean this place up.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
You seem kind of fed up with this.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I'm very pissed. I'm upset.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
One of the reasons for all that anger is because
residents of this encammen have brokento this street light, shoved
a surge protector into it, and are running power across
the street and into the camp.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Thank god it hasn't raained it a while. It's a
fire hazard, right, and then they run the cable across
the sheet and it's a trip hazard for everyone.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Segment has complained to three to one one, but says
he's only seen this encampment grow. The council member for
this neighborhood is Katie Yuroslavsky.
Speaker 7 (02:19):
From your perspective, where did this go wrong and why
are people in your districts still dealing with this property?
Speaker 5 (02:26):
So chey.
Speaker 8 (02:27):
I think that the challenge comes from the fact that
this is private property.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Because it's private property, there's.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
A different path, and that path is convoluted.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
It's over bureaucratic.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
It's the city at its worst sort of not being
able to get out of its own way.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
The owner of the property is an LLC registered in Delaware.
They never returned our request for comment, but the council
member says they are cooperating and should be putting up
no trespassing signs along this fence soon, which will then
allow LAPD.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
To step in.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
LA's Apartment of Building Safety says it's issuing in order
to applying to the property owner to address the security rubbish, garbage,
trash and debris. But council Member Uroslavsky says Building Safety
needs to start acting faster, so the pressure is on
when properties end up like this.
Speaker 8 (03:15):
We immediately called EBS and said, hey, get out there,
please send an inspector out there so we can start
this process. And it took a while, but they've finally
gotten someone out there.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Is that acceptable?
Speaker 5 (03:24):
No, of course it's not acceptable.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
As for the electors leg while seven on your side
was there, someone came out of the encampment to unplug
the cord, wrapped up the wiring and slipped right back inside.
Public Work tells us that we'll be putting an anti
vandal wrap around the street light, and Segman now finally
has some answers.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Thank you so much for the help. You guys made
huge difference in days that I can do in once,
but get this.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Public Work tells us if it takes weeks to get
that wrap around.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
There because of a backlog.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
Now, we did also reach out to Mayor Bass's office
as well. It tells us I have sent outreach teams
to that encounterment this week to try and move some
of those people inside.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
All right, So that's great, oh man, If by chance
the owner of the property doesn't comply with the orders
that are issued by the Department of.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Building a Safety, what's next? What happens?
Speaker 7 (04:14):
Well, there would be with a six hundred and sixty
dollars fee. We asked the council woman, Is that v enough?
She says, no, it is.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Not a fee. They get charged a fee.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Okay, here out look, Katie yar As Slatsky is an idiot.
I like when politicians when they're cornered, they take a
big pause. If I get her clip out, you can
pick right and they sew everybody does that now, Well,
so so what.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
Idiot?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
They've been complaining for months? But yeah, play this genius again.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
We immediately called EBS and said hey, get out there,
please send an inspector out there so we can start
this process. And it took a while, but they finally
gotten someone out there.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Is that acceptable?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
No, of course it's not acceptable.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
That's the other part. And and when when you when you.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Tell them, they have a line like, well it's not acceptable,
Well what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's not acceptable? Apparently it was.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It was acceptable for months. It went on for you
got the first part again, Yeah, got so.
Speaker 8 (05:20):
The challenge, it's just an advantage of it property. There's
a different path and that path is conlluded.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
That's over bureaucratic. Well it's the city at its worst.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Stop you're on the city council. Fix the path. You
could have done that many years ago. All these boobs
of the city.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Council, they spend all their time passing social justice resolutions.
That's what they do with their time in the city council.
There are a bunch of progressive goofs idiots.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
This should have been taken care of on Dave.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well, it's a complicated paths, it's overly bureaucal No, it's oh,
it's not. That is a huge fire hazard. I think
the fire department should have jurisdiction to come in there
and clear that out immediately before the whole block burns down.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
And don't tell me otherwise. You're so full of crap.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
And then bass as well, they're so just why is
it you can contact the building services although they don't
get out there fast enough.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Because nobody can get fired, So it really doesn't matter
what you ask them to do, because the city Council
has no power, the mayor has no power over a
bunch of they're like like they are like slabs of
meat in that.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Building safety office.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Nobody really gets up and do anything, unless, of course
they're having a bachelor party and it's time for beer
and booze and nunkers.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Then people get energized.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
The Apartment of Building Safety is issuing in order to
comply to an order, to comply to the property owner,
to address the security, rubbish, garbage, trash, and to.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Bring again it took months.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
You have to go to channel seven, and Channel seven
has to have a reporter available for that and an
interest by some assignment editor or producer to do this.
Otherwise you are stuck with this filthy, disgusting lot which
has its own tennis scre oh and it has its
own own grill. Well that's where the fires start. Everybody
(07:22):
should have been arrested. Well, well we can do it
if they put up no trespassing signs.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Why is that?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Why don't you fix that stupid rule too, or why
don't you ignore the rules? You ignore the stuff you
want everybody to ignore. Federal immigration law. Right, you think
all that, all those federal laws and immigration should be ignored.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Why don't we start ignoring the rule that.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Says you have to have a no trespassing sign where
people can build their own their own grill with tennis court,
homeless encampment. They're so full that they lied, they lied,
They lie. Fast has that disease. Arislovsky has the disease.
Newsome has the disease. They don't want to displace the homeless.
(08:09):
The homeless are protected in their religion. The holy trinity
of those who are protected by the woke progressive religion
are homeless people and criminals and illegal aliens and the
rest of us stupid peasants who pay whenever we complain
(08:29):
we're bad people.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
We are not.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
We don't have empathy. Most serious charge that they can
make in the progressive religion. You don't have empathy. You're
supposed to have empathy for the people who might burn
your neighborhood down.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
Again, what if it's happening in their neighborhood. What if
it's happening next door to them. We never get that,
because then that would be a would that would be
the best thing happening, because then you're going to see
how they're going to change their tune.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
For sure, times I feel like like gathering up a
whole group of homeless people and taking them into some
politicians neighborhood. Yeah, and see how quickly the Department of
Building Services shows up.
Speaker 10 (09:13):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Debra came in here and said, you want some almonds? Okay,
she did that right before we were about to come back.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Yeah, hi, Vey, John wanted to know. I have to
just say this real quick.
Speaker 9 (09:32):
When I asked him if he wanted an almend, he
wanted to know if he needed to crack it open. Oh,
like I had a shell on it, the sunflower seater nistachio.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Yeah, all right, because when I've had almonds, to my memory, they.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Were smooth because they weren't salted.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And this one seems to have like ridges on it,
so I thought there was a shell around it. No,
it doesn't look like the way I remember almonds.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
Because how long has it been since you've eaten amen?
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Oh? As long as the drought's been going on?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (09:59):
Yeah, See that's why I gave it to him, because
he started off saying, you know, if we have a drought,
no water for you because you're eating almonds?
Speaker 7 (10:07):
Is that? Ay?
Speaker 10 (10:07):
John?
Speaker 9 (10:07):
You want an almond, Sure, I'll try one, omens use,
but you just I gave you a bunch of that,
and I told you fall now too.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
You are eating almonds.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
You've been eating almonds all week, which means when there
is water shortage, you don't get any water.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Okay, but you don't get any water either because you've
just been eating that.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But if she doesn't get any water, and then she
can't shower, and then she's gonna smell when she comes
to work.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Girls never smell, don't you know that? That's fair?
Speaker 2 (10:33):
They never smell, and they never pass gas. Yes, they
fart unicorns and rainbows.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
All right?
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Uh, this this, We've been talking about this all week.
We've got eight dollar gas coming to California and Newsome
is now the East panicking.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And we had Michael Mache on the USC.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Professor yesterday to talk about all the ramifications here. There's
two refineries closing. One is uh a literal refinery in Benicia?
Is that how you pronounce it? I've been calling a
Banetia and I noticed Mache was calling a Beanicia.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
No, it's well, I always called a Bantia Benicia.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
You lived up there, I did.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
But you know what I did?
Speaker 9 (11:17):
I remember people saying Benisi Benicia too, but I always said.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Benicia, Benisia. Oh the miche was saying Benicia. Okay, so
there was like three pronunciations.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Here Bantia, but maybe it is Benicia, all.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Right, now I'm choking on the almond shells.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
Just choking on the actual almond, the almond crust whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
They let me say that some water.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
Oh my god, you're such a baby. All right, let
me google. Let me google Bantia while you're choking.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
All right, you do that. I think I packed water,
but it looks like I didn't.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
Bay.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Can you go get Johnson water.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
There's something useful.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
Get me water now, Venetia. Okay, that's what Google says.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
What was I talking about? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
So there's two oil refineries, one closing in Benetia, Valero
one closing here in southern California, Carson.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
That's Phillip sixty six.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
And that's going to reduce the number of refineries in
the state to six. There'll be so little oil going
through the big oil pipeline in California that it may
be shut down. And then carbon has some new low
mileage fuel carbon tax, some low carbon tax. I don't
(12:44):
it adds up to eight to ten dollars a gallon.
You don't have to throw it at me. It is
getting increasingly hard to deal with her. I just want
you to know, Okay, I don't know what's gotten.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
Into her, but I was trying to put my newscast together.
I had to say to Eric, don't go to me,
so I can go get him.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Was she's yelling at me. She's yelling at Eric, she's
throwing things at me. Okay, So you have these two
refineries closing, and gas is already I think four to
sixty three a gathering. You go to many states, it's
in the two seventies and two eighties. It's just awful.
(13:30):
And Gavin Newsom is trying to get the state to
vote so we have more Democrats representing California in Congress.
I am astonished a guy who's performed so badly for
the state that there is a single person in any party, Independent, Democrat, Republican,
(13:52):
anybody would vote or agree to any of his policies
or any of his ideas. The man is costing you
two dollars more a gallon per gas than many other states,
and it's about a dollar fifty more than the average.
Why would you possibly give him more power? Why would
(14:13):
you possibly support any one of his ideas? Why would
you vote for him for president? Based on his track record?
The whole youth? Do you think the country is going
to vote for Gavin Newsom, if everybody is going to
have to pay five eight ten dollars a gallon, why
wouldn't he do to the whole country what he's done
here to California. And why do people in California sit
(14:35):
around and let him. This is one of the great
mysteries of the world. Well, so now he's panicking, and
I have to continue this after Deborah's news because now
the environmental groups are upset with Newsom because of his panic.
(14:56):
He had to agree to oil industry Demandsdustry is doing
what it must do. It's going to pack up and
leave the state unless Newsom stops the abuse. So they're packed,
they're ready to go. Now Newsom is panicking. Now it's
ten bucks a gallon. Can't believe the.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
World we're in.
Speaker 10 (15:17):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock,
two rounds of the Moistline. Next hour at three twenty
and three point fifty. All right, So I was telling
you about how Gavin Newsom is truly in a panic
because gas prices are way high and they're headed towards
eight to ten dollars a gallon, because we have two
refineries closing. We have the oil pipeline in danger of
(15:46):
drying up because they're so little oil being transmitted through it.
He completely shut down oil drilling. I think there were
only seven permits filed in California last year. And suddenly
he's running for president. And how does he last more
than all I don't know, thirty seconds in a debate
(16:07):
when the first Democratic candidate running against him says, m
HAWKEM gas is two ninety eight my state, and it's
five dollars in your state, or it's eight dollars in
your estate, or ten dollars in your estate. And that's
what has this immature little boy panicked, is he wants
to be missed a president. He systematically consistently, overwhelmingly attacked
(16:36):
and dismantled the oil industry in the state, a state
where we used to have over forty refineries and now
potentially we're down to six. Trump has his drilling mandate,
and the price of gas I saw the other day
is now lower in the US. Get this, when you
(16:57):
adjust for inflation, it's lower in the US, less than
it has been in twenty years. People outside of California
are paying gas at prices that are at a twenty
year low, and we are paying four point fifty to
(17:21):
five dollars a gallon. And that's just an average. Came
out of lax the other night and all the stations
along the Supublic of Boulevard driving northward five twenty five.
So I don't know where the gas is going for
cheaper than four fifty. Must be somewhere. I haven't seen it.
Somewhere it averages out maybe I don't know. So now
(17:44):
he's passing a law or get it, Yeah, getting the
legislature to pass a law.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
That's uh, they're gonna they might.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
They might pay off Valero to keep their Benetia refinery running.
They tried to get an outside buyer a few weeks ago,
which was a huge joke because no, literally nobody in
the world wanted to buy the Mintia refinery. That's like
a thirty second conversation, Hi Ahi, this is Gavin Newsom.
(18:16):
You want to buy a refinery, And they said, no,
you have an extreme an extreme policy over regulating oil
companies in your state. No, taxes are extremely high. No,
they couldn't get a buyer around the world. Two hundred nations.
(18:39):
Everybody said no. It was like when they went trying
to find some company or some nation to invest in
high speed rail, they all said no. You know why,
because of California's political climate and all the corruption here.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
How's it going to run for president? So couldn't find
a buyer.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now he's offering Vollero two hundred million dollars of tax
money to run the place. And now the environment are
all the environmental groups and these people are crazy. They're
upset because Newsom has turned on them. They're still fighting,
(19:25):
it says here environmental groups, including a campaign backed by
Jane Fonda. Well, isn't that nice of her? This old
bag must be worth like one hundred million dollars and
she's trying to drive up the price of gas for
people who are making twelve dollars an hour.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
But she does look pretty darn good for her aide, Yeah, well,
I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Call her an old mag if you have thirty seven
construction workers on a forklift putting her face together every morning.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Oh that's rude.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
I never got this thing about Jane Fonda. She makes
pronouncements we've go oh, wow, isn't that wonderful? Jane Fond
is one of the reasons you're paying five dollars an
hour gas, I guess because she finances these protest groups
or these environmental groups, and then they go to Newsome
and you know, they put pressure on Newsom, and they
also bribe Newsom with campaign contributions, and some of the
(20:27):
Democratic legislators are turning on him. Henry Stern, who's a Democrat,
said call me born again, but I have seen the
light on what you're talking about. It was telling Republicans
Kerrent County should be unleashed Bakersfield drill the oil. Apparently
this local bozo, Isaac Bryan, who's an assemblyman, he also
(20:50):
wants the state to allow more oil drilling. It's an
idea to streamlines environmental environmental permit for new oil wells.
Environmental justice groups have held this up, environmental justice. You
(21:11):
know who gets screwed by this is poor people. Even
the illegal aliens get screwed by this because they really
can't afford five dollars gas. Jane Fonda could afford five
hundred dollars a gallon gas. So who the hell is
(21:33):
this lady forcing the little unwashed peasants out there to
pay five bucks potentially eight or ten bucks in gas
because she says so, because you know she doesn't think
oil should be burned to power the economy. Well, first
(21:54):
of all, I think she's eighty seven years old. What's
her stake in determining our future here? She's not going
to be around once she goes down in the box
we're left with.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
It's just too harsh. We don't know if she's going
to go down in a box. She may be cremated,
she may become a tree.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
We all well, I guess so. But once she becomes
a tree, look, we all leave at some point. And
the idea that you're trying to finance groups who want
to destroy our ability to drill and process oil, I
don't know what's wrong with you out here out here
in the You know, like twenty five percent of the
(22:39):
state is in poverty and you're charging them five dollars
for gas. Of course that twenty five percent the ones
that are legal vote for Gavin Newsom. So I really
don't understand anything. I understand why left wingers vote for
progressive stuff because all the damage that comes out of
progressive policies doesn't bother them. They're living in a high
up on their hilltop mansions, which you could appreciate.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
You could appreciate I don't have a hilltop. You ever
have a mansion. You don't have a mansion, you have
a hilltop.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Safer on a hilltop.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
One of the one of the activists, Cassie Siegel, director
of the Center for Biological Diversity, What is particularly gut
wrenching about this moment. It follows on the heels of
some real leadership on the policies. We need strong leadership
from the government. This is gut wrenching. To try to
get the price of gas down below five dollars, this
(23:38):
is gut wrenching. How much money does Cassie Siegel make?
Does she got some wealthy husband who can pay twenty
bucks a gallon for gas? Doesn't bother her? These people
are so These are people are dangerous. They actually have
the power to dismantle the oil industry, and they have
to a very great extent. Cassie Siegel and Jane Fonda.
(23:58):
They dismantle the oil industry by pumping so much money
into democratic campaigns in this state.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
And then we're paying.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Five bucks, eight bucks, ten bucks a gallon down the road.
Why and when are all the people in the state
gonna say enough of this crap? Because the other forty
United States don't have this problem. Just us buy ourselves
and go look it up.
Speaker 10 (24:27):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM sixty.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Coming up after three o'clock. Uh, there, there is there.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
There's a multi million dollar cleanup budget here in Los Angeles,
and LA is still disgusting and filled with trash.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Why is this?
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Well, we're gonna talk with Jamie Page from the West
Side Current. Maybe she could explain why there's so much
garbage on the streets of Los Angeles considering how much
money they supposedly pay to keep it clean. And we
are the second dirtiest city in America. All right, here's
an animal story for you. Pennsylvania man he has been
(25:17):
banned from bringing into Walmart his emotional support alligator.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
Emotional support alligator.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yes, this is true story, there's photos. His name is
Wesley Sylve, sixty years old. He sixty year old man
walks around with an alligator.
Speaker 9 (25:36):
Now I could be ignorant here, but don't alligators need water?
I mean I know that they go out of water.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
They can go out of water yes, they can.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
But then they have to go back in.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I guess eventually.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Yeah, okay, carry on.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
He has a pet named jin Seyoshi, looks like some
type of Japanese name, and he wanted to bring his
his alligator into the Walmart in West Brownsville, Pennsylvania. Usually,
I don't think anybody in a Walmart would even notice that.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You seen the people of Walmart.
Speaker 9 (26:12):
I think they would notice an alligator. And I didn't
know that there were alligators in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
He that's a good point, he says.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
This has never been an issue in the past in town.
We've gone to restaurants.
Speaker 9 (26:29):
Oh, come on with an How big is this alligator?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Besized alligator? It fits in.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
It fits in this shopping cart, though there's a baby.
It's thirty two pounds, and the alligator wears a gray dress.
There's a photo of the alligator looking pretty hot, pretty hot,
pretty hot in a gray dress and Silva pushes her
(26:55):
around in a shopping cart. There's another photo showing that
jin Sayoshi, the alligator is wearing a shirt with a harness.
I don't know what that's about. He's a little too
close to the alligator here, and he says that the
restaurants have never objected. We've been to Denny's. She's a
(27:17):
star there. She gets VIPRE treatment.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
Well, of course she is. Who's going to go up
to the alligator? Yes, are you hungry?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Well, too bad, we don't serve alligators.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
She gets good treatment.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
He says, she's always on a leash, and he's very
upset with Walmart. Walmart's response is the safety of our
customers is our highest preer.
Speaker 9 (27:42):
Ah, what's Walmart going to do when that alligator takes
a chomp out of a customer?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
We welcome service animals in our stores, but it is
unacceptable there's that word again, to expose members of the
public to potential danger. So alligators are not permitted on
our premises.
Speaker 9 (28:00):
How can an alligator be a support animal? I mean,
what kind of a support animals?
Speaker 2 (28:05):
And I don't know about the emotional relationship that the
two of them have. Apparently they're they're very close. Walmart
says they only welcome service animals like dogs and miniature horses.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Oh, well, I would rather see a miniature horse.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I love horses are fine. Uh, animals around food really
bother me.
Speaker 6 (28:30):
Oh you sound like my husband.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Now, your husband well, you.
Speaker 9 (28:38):
Guys are very similar in a lot of ways. It's
pretty scary.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
He uh, he is correct, though. Animals should should not
be in grocery stores. There was a dog in our
grocery store in my neighborhood and it was barking like crazy.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
So you just ignore it.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Animals.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Animals have diseases and fleas and ticks and worms, and
you have a bacteria. Yes, but I don't let him
near my food. Silva claims nobody else has protested to
the public.
Speaker 5 (29:10):
Now.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
They're too afraid you're going to stick your alligator on there.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That's just it.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
He doesn't know why everybody treats him someone nicely, because
if he's nutty enough to push an alligator around in
a dress in a shopping cart, he might be nutty
enough to send the alligator out to attack. He got
the alligator from a neighbor. The neighbor had gotten it
as a gift but wasn't able to take care of
it anymore.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
It's a hand me down alligator, that's right.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
It's just being passed around the neighborhood and he has
been strolling around town for three and a half years.
Alligators can grow to twelve feet long and weigh as
much as one thousand pounds. There is no state law
against owning an alligator a second time. In Pennsylvania, this
has happened in recent years. A fan was denied entry
(30:02):
into the Phillies Ballpark in twenty twenty three he tried
to go through the stadium's gate with his emotional support alligator.
Speaker 6 (30:09):
I've never heard of this before. You know, I love animals.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
I'm not a fan of alligators, and I don't think
they should be an emotional support animal.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I had an alligator dish for lunch. Oh, I really
did in New Jersey at the place where we got married.
It was this hotel restaurant venue, and you know, we
go to it occasionally to plan the wedding, and one
time they had it on the menu.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
So, Eric, isn't it time to do the news? We
don't want to hear about John eating apps.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Oh now you want to break on, yes, because.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
I don't want to hear about this anymore.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
It really upsets you that a elegance absolutely debor mark
