seven seven Moist eighty six or usually talk back feature
on the iHeartRadio app. We are going to have the
Oklahoma Governor, Kevin Stit on tomorrow. We had been running
a promo that he would be here today. He'll be
on tomorrow, and the Oklahoma Governor is coming on because
(00:38):
he'll be in Los Angeles on Friday downtown LA at
the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Oklahoma is going on a
full court press to lure California businesses to their state.
And they're offering low costs, lower taxes, much less regulation,
(01:00):
a good workforce, modern infrastructure, and you know a lot
of businesses are moving to Texas, to Florida, to Tennessee
to Nevada. Well, Oklahoma wants to get in on the party,
and so tomorrow Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt will be on
our show. Now we're going to talk to someone involved
(01:21):
in this entire program. Chet hit Chet is a former
Apple Valley, California resident who's owner of the Chickasha Airport
Industrial Park in Oklahoma, and let's get him on now.
He's part of the Chickasha Economic Development Council.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Chet.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I'm perfect? How are you?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I'm good? So are you got any ties to Apple
Valley anymore? Or are you completely in Oklahoma?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
No? I still have a few things that I'm still
doing there, but I'm trying to liquidate everything and move
to Oklahoma as a permanent business place and opportunities.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So what made you want to transition your life and
your business to Oklahoma and get out get out of California.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Well, I've been in business since nineteen ninety five with
funeral home company. Wudn't think there'd be many regulations there,
but with all the climate of California and the negative
stuff that's happening between workers comp and pogo lawsuits and
anything and everything else, it's just made it really hard
for businesses. And I went to Oklahoma. I ended up
(02:34):
being in I bought some commercial industrial land and I'm
selling part of it to a power plant and data Center.
We're working on that program right now. And then I
ended up wanted to develop my my industrial park, and
then I ended up at the governor's mansion. I said
to the governor, Hey, you want to go to California?
I said, Newsom's got this state so screwed up. You know,
(02:56):
there's a lot of opportunities, and why not get out
of get people who go to Oklahoma versus Texas. And
this is actually the first time in the state where
more people are leaving Texas going to Oklahoma than they
are Oklahoma going to Texas.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh so a lot of people are leaving Texas to
go to Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Now it's the first time that it's reversed.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I see.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So yeah, yeah, we're open for business there.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
All right, Well, and what kind of company you run again?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Right now? It's I'm doing a development with commercial industrial space.
It's the golden age of manufacturing and it's the low
cost of doing business. So I basically bought this industrial
park to try to relocate people. With Trump's new program
and trying to get the industry going and manufacturing going,
we want to be a supply chain for the Air
(03:47):
Force area, and so we're looking for businesses that do manufacturing,
that create good jobs, that want to relocate.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
All right, talk about the advantages of Oklahoma versus California
or a business, especially a manufacturing business, since that's what
you were you were discussing, like what is better in Oklahoma?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Why is it better?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Well, I'll give you one example. If you're a business
that has fifty employees, and you have fifty employees, the
state of Oklahoma currently has grants available that if you
relocate paid twenty four dollars an hour average with some
healthcare over a ten year period, they're going to give
you close to three million dollars in rebates three hundred
(04:29):
grand a year. I mean that's just one part of it.
If you're a manufacturer, there's manufacturing grants. I mean, this
state is it's unbelievable. I've seen all this stuff, not
counting workers comp and different things like that are lower.
They actually now have a worker's comp court that business
owners that you can't just go file workers comp You
got to deal with with this court that's governed by
(04:53):
business owners to see if these things are real or not.
And that's what really makes it nice. So it's just
a much friendlier climate to do business. And when you're
in Oklahoma, you see the LA fires and everything burning up,
you know, and you turn around and say, I can
get a building permit in ten working days on a
fifty thousand square foot building.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Wait wait, wait, hold on, stop right there, you can
get a building permit fifty thousand square foot facility in
ten days ten days.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
In Chickashe, Oklahoma. Right now.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yep, you mentioned the screaming going on in the Palisades
right now.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
People want to build a replica of their old home
in the Palisades and they can't get the permit.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Right the regulations is. It's sad thinking that I was
going to live and dine in California to leave here
because of the business climate.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And the land is obviously much less.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Expensive, absolutely, you know. I'll give you an example in Fontana,
which used to be the area that's really was not
desirable industrial spaces. Found out the other day it's like
seven hundred and fifty thousand and acre and I'm selling
one acre. I can go up to however many acres
(06:13):
you want for one hundred and twenty five thousand acre,
which includes a water meter and sewer, So it's the
cost of doing business so much less there than it
is here.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Plus the living is less. Taxes are way less. What's
your income taxes like? For individuals and for corporate? Do
you know the number?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Four point seventy five percent state income tax? And the
governor you can ask him tomorrow, but he is working
on a path to zero state income tax.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's at four point seventy five right now? Yeah, oh
that hurts.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, yeah, what we what do we have? Three thirteen
point three?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, actually there's there's a super tax level over fourteen
now yeah, oh my god. So well, I mean it's
it's it's very it's a very inviting package that you're
describing here.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, and the crime rates down and and you know,
just there's just a lot of opportunities. I mean, Oklahoma
now has an NBA championship team. It's got things for you,
you know. I mean, it's a great it's a great opportunity.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
All Right, Well, you know tomorrow we're gonna have the
governor on Kevin sits Kevin Stitt, and it's gonna be
at the La Athletic Club in downtown LA tomorrow morning,
and we are going to uh interview him tomorrow and
and Chet This is Chet Hit, owner of the Chickasha
Airport Industrial Park. Uh formerly, he's primarily in Apple Valley
(07:45):
in California. And he's gotten out and you you you
heard why? Uh well, Chet, it's good to have you on.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Thank you, thank you, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Good We're gonna have you.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I mean, there's there's hundreds of people like Hit, and
all the other states are getting involved. I mean I heard,
you know, Rob Low, the actor, he has a podcast
and I just heard a little clip of it. You know,
he went to he's hosting a game show and he
(08:18):
taped the whole game show in Ireland, the whole series.
You wouldn't think game shows are costly, right, but I
heard him say it was cheaper to get everybody to Ireland,
that it would be just to go down to the
other end of the Fox.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Lot and tape the show.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Because of all the ridiculous costs in California that California had.
You know, they were offering forty percent tax credits in
other states and countries where California was offering nothing. And
there's the Hollywood business is dying rapidly, and Newsom was
(08:57):
way late with his tax credit deal. And now you
heard chet there. I mean, you have no idea how
businesses are fleeing California and they're headed to Texas, in
Florida and Tennessee. And you may hear somebody going, yeah, well,
we got the largest economy. It's extremely weighted towards the
(09:18):
mega tech companies like Google and Meta and Tesla and Nvidia,
extremely weighted there.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
The rest of the rest of the state, we're in
bad shape.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's one of the most distorted, ridiculous, absurd statistics that
Newsome and his sycophants parrot.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
More coming up.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
We're just talking about how the governor of Oklahoma, who
will be on our show tomorrow, is coming to Los
Angeles to speak to business people at the Downtown Athletic
Club to to help lure them to Oklahoma and bring
their businesses and their manufacturing plants. And uh because Oklahoma,
(10:09):
I mean, they've got inexpensive land, very low taxes, they
have apparently a strong workforce, and they're just building themselves
for growth and low regulation. I can't tell you. Regulation
(10:30):
is hard to explain on the radio. I've never really
figured out a way. It is so complicated in each
specific specific business. But it's a lot of nonsense. It's
a lot of control. Well, it's it's control freaks with
obsessive compulsive disorders.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's that's a real mental disturbance. And they end up
in government because they have to control how other people
run their industries, how you do your business. And they
all end up in government and they're just miserable, awful people.
And instead of you know, getting on some kind of
anti psychotic drug, they make everybody else miserable with their obsessions,
(11:13):
you know, and their causes and their political stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
What climate change is about. Climate change is just an.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Excuse for all the uh, all the most irritating control
freaks in life to have a cause to justify why
they're telling you what to do and why they're taxing
you extra money for it. It's it's this is all
everything's a mental disorder. Now you have that, right, Yeah,
you have these businesses that are leaving, and now you
(11:44):
have tourists who are not coming to la very much anymore.
Two separate articles, one of the La Times one of
the Daily Mail in London about how tourism in LA
has dropped by a significant amount international tourists down eight percent.
Eight percent doesn't sound like a big number. That's one
(12:05):
hundred and seventy thousand fewer tourists internationally than last year,
one hundred and seventy thousand, and that's just through August
and LA Times. Who is this Serrus Davies serious? Ce Rys,
I don't know, man, woman. Nobody has a normal name anymore.
(12:28):
This person writes this lengthy article without and focuses some
of it on Hollywood Boulevard without ever once mentioning all
the mental patients and drug addicts that line Hollywood Boulevard
and are absolutely terrifying. I know this firsthand. We like
(12:52):
going to the Hollywood Bowl and we tend to park
it a lot on Hollywood Boulevard. Otherwise you're paying one
hundred dollars for a parking space, and so the parking
is cheaper, and we don't mind walking up Highland Avenue
up the hill. But oh my god, the crazy people,
(13:14):
and they used to just be out at night. Now
they're out during the day. And Karen Bass is just shameless,
and so are these jackasses and city council. You have
like one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world
on Hollywood Boulevard, And then you have the La Times
not even acknowledged that that's one of the big reasons.
(13:35):
And you know why, because everything's on social media. I
can't tell you how many montages of screaming maniacs on
Hollywood Boulevard are out there circulating around the globe. You
have all these people, all these groups that have video
(13:58):
recorded every crazy person like banging his head against the wall,
running around with no pants on, laying in his own
vomiting feces, menacing, threatening, harassing people, I mean, just standing
on the middle of the street mindlessly howling at the moon.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This Steff's all over the internet.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
In fact, I know from going back to the East
Coast and you start talking to people they hear you
from California, they actually flinch, they recoil.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Is it really that bad there? Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
But you know what they blame, they play, They blame
Trump's tariffs. Stop that, Trump's Yeah, Trump's tariffs keeps people
from going on Hollywood Boulevard. What a load of feces.
Immigration crackdown repelled visitors. No, it wasn't the immigration crackdown
(14:55):
that's going on in all fifty states. It was the
riots that Karen Bess encouraged. It was the rioting that
scared people, not the crackdowns. All the cities and states
are getting cracked downs. I mean they've arrested thousands and
thousands of people. They weren't all in LA. This was
an article made of absolute nonsense. Cirrus Davies another like
(15:22):
non journalist.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Tariffs.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Foot traffic this summer for some businesses are down by
fifty percent. They even blamed the fires. The fires were
in January. The whole world knows that was the Palisades
out by the ocean. Wasn't Hollywood Boulevard. I mean, I mean, really,
this is such a propaganda outt This is such nonsense.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Pravda. Wasn't this shameless?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Really?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Number one, number two, Number three vagrants, mental patients and
drug addicts, and then all the crime they commit, and
there's a lot of crime being committed, and all the
criminals who are not vagrants.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Crime is terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Everybody I know on the West Side, every single friend
and acquaintance I have, we talk about this. They're not
going downtown, not going to Hollywood Boulevard. People, when you
think of it you say, hey, you want to go
to Hollywood Boulevard, What are you crazy? That's the response.
It's the response here, it's the response on the East Coast,
it's the response in Europe. Everybody sees what's going on.
(16:40):
The only people who don't care are Karen Bass and
the city council members and the writers.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
At the LA Times.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
We are on every day from one to four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John cobelt Show.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
On demand on the iHeart app. Moistline for Friday eight
seven seven Moist daighty six eight seven seven Moist daty six.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Normally, I
don't spend much time on the government's shutdown because there
seems to be one of these, you know, every two
three years, and it usually ends up being kind of
a dud of a story.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Nothing really happens.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Even if they have a shutdown doesn't affect I don't
remember shut down affecting my life.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What about traffic? Air traffic controllers.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
They have to work, see the important agencies are required
to keep going.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Okay, I hope so I know.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
I was going to say that would affect your life.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, or they might just have one guy on the
runway with a red flat and that's it. Yeah, that's all.
That's all the budget they have. Everyone's going to get
their Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, the irs irs good
and what else? Oh, the military. If some war breaks out,
the military will be there. But a lot of now
(18:15):
here's the thing. Normally employees, a lot of them were
non essential or sent home on furlough. But this is
Trump we have in office. And remember that when Elon
Musk was reigning and we had DOZE active, they wanted
(18:37):
to cut hundreds of thousands of jobs and the courts
wouldn't let them because Congress had appropriated the money. And
if Congress appropriates money, then you can't fire those people
and you have to pay them. So we've never had
a president whose goal was to dismantle much of the government.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
If they don't pass a bill funding the government by
midnight tonight, then Trump could fire three hundred thousand people
if he wants, because there's no funding. See, once the
government's funded by Congress, then he can't fire these people.
But if you have this lapse in funding, then everyone
(19:24):
can be kicked out for good. And that's the hammer
Trump has on the Democrats here because most of these
government workers, they vote overwhelmingly Democrat and they live in
the Washington, d C. Virginia, Maryland area, and so there's
a lot of tough talk going on, but ultimately I
want to.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
See if the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And the reason the Democrats matter in this is because
in the Senate they could you know, they have the
filibuster rules, So you need sixty votes to pass this budget,
and the Republicans only have what do they have fifty
three seats I think, so they need seven Democrats right
now they can't get any, so the bill doesn't pass.
(20:08):
On the flip side, if funding lapses and Trump fires
three hundred thousand workers, all the people Elon Musk wanted
a fire but couldn't at the time, Oh, there's gonna
be holy hell on the Democrats. They actually had the
power here either to pass it. And this new funding
(20:29):
keeps everything in place. There's no increases, there's no cuts,
but there are some like Obamacare subsidies that are supposed
to expire, and they don't want those to expire. They
want to shovel more money at that. So that's that's
the game of chicken. Now, most of these things end
up resolving, and so it's it's not really getting it's
(20:52):
not worth getting worked up for. But boy, if they
actually go to midnight and Trump, you know, Trump's up
all night, he doesn't sleep. I mean, he's going to
start issuing like truth social executive orders probably a twelve
oh one and conceivably could fire hundreds of thousands of people,
and who knows what all these people do, probably a
(21:13):
lot of mar waste. Now Trump is taunting the two
Democratic leaders. I don't know if you heard this so absurd,
I can hardly believe that this is really a thing.
But Kim Jeffries is the House leader and Chuck Schumer
is the Senate leader, and Trump decided to mock them
(21:35):
because they refused to see things his way on this budget.
So he sent out an AI generated video and it
is a fake Schumer and a fake Aquem Jeffries, although
they look real. But Haquem Jeffries is wearing a Mexican
sombrero and he's got a little Mexican mustache, like cartoon
(21:58):
characters used to have. And this is the video Trump
put out last night.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoated. Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
We have no voters left because of all of our
woke trans books. Not even black people want to vote
for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need
new voters.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
And if we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare,
we might be able to get them on our side
so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English,
so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke
pieces of work, you know, at least for a while
until they learn English and they realize they hate us too.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
If you watch it, it looks like the real Chuck Schumer,
and it sounds like the real Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
John, you're next what somebody is going to come out
and they're going to have you talking about how much
you love for reason, Gavin newsombery and Karen Bass is
your best friend.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I bet you Kevin Knewsome as a furry. I don't
think you don't think. No, I don't think anyway. I
want to see an AI. Don't give peoples. I'm giving
myself ideas.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Oh what did we.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Turn you into doing doing commercials for the meat? Yeah,
the meat industry.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Okay, I'm going to shut up now how.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Much you love cheeseburgers and the mediums? All right, we
got more coming. I'll play you some. Pete Hechsath started
off with this and it actually got me in a
really good mood. And Pete Hegseath said, no more fat soldiers,
no more fat generals, and no more any of this
woke nonsense. He he convened all the military leaders in
(23:50):
the nation UH into one big room in Quantico, Virginia,
and he told basically, all the nonsense of the last
thirty years has been canceled, eradicated.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Play some of the clips when we come back.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI, a.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobelt Radio. All right, so Pete Hegseth
had all the military leaders in all branches come together
in Quantico, Virginia. Today there's all hands on deck meeting
and it was to tell them once and for all,
(24:33):
the woke era is over. No more woke politically correct nonsense.
It's the Department of War. We're here to to fight.
We've got to kill, we've got to destroy things, and
everybody has got to be in the best physical condition possible.
(24:54):
And we have to have the highest standards or you
don't get to serve. It's not for you. And he's
no longer interested in everybody's feelings and everybody's preferences and
your pronouns. I thought this clip probably summed it up
the best. This is a Headsex got six.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
This administration has done a great deal from day one
to remove the social justice, politically correct and toxic ideological
garbage that had infected our department. To rip out the politics.
No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses, no
(25:37):
more climate change worship, no more division distraction or gender delusions,
no more debris.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
As I've said before.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
And we'll say again, we are done with that.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, and I wish we could rid this of out
of every corporation, out of everything that you're you're you're
forced to to to watch on television that you get
lectured by, get it all out of the universities. I mean,
enough of this era. This era has been exhausting, depressing, overwhelming,
(26:13):
and it's it's done no good, no good at.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
All, just being have done with that.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yes, just pissed everybody off and there's been no purpose
to it. So just garbage is the is the best
way he described it, and he went after fat troops.
No more of that either. Cut seven.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
The new War Department golden rule is this, do onto
your unit as you would have done onto your own
child's unit. Would you want him serving with fat or
unfit or undertrained troops, or alongside people who can't meet
basic standards, or in a unit where standards were lowered
(26:58):
so certain types of troops could make it in in
a unit where leaders were promoted for reasons other than
merit performance and war fighting.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
The answer is not just no, it's hell though, and
he expands on this, go to cut eight.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are
out of shape, or in combat unit with females who
can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men,
or troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons,
platform or task, or under a.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Leader who was the first but not the best.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I actually didn't think I'd live long enough to see
at least some of this come back. This is the
way the world worked for you for in America for
about two hundred and forty years, and in the last
ten years and maybe longer than that, it just started unraveling.
Everybody got caught up in every trendy bit of social
justice nonsense, and it just seemed to come from all sides,
(28:06):
and it just ruined almost everything in life and all
the good stuff in life. And I mean it certainly
ruined television and you know, ruined the movies. I mean,
look what it's done in the cities. Can't enjoy walking
out to go to a restaurant, go to a shop,
(28:27):
to go to a sporting event, or it's all because
of social justice nonsense, whether it's homeless people. It's made
workplaces uncomfortable because all these people started showing up fresh
out of the universities with bizarre ideas on how we're
supposed to speak, how we're supposed to address each other.
(28:48):
I mean, it has been oppressive and now it's finally
breaking apart into pieces. And that's why you need an
administration like this, You need a bulldozer. This is because
almost everybody hated it, but most were afraid. You had
true believers. But the true believers were a tiny little
sliver of the country, and they were Everybody else was intimidated, bullied,
(29:10):
frightened that they were gonna get canceled. Oh, you can't
say that anymore, can't tell that you all. I mean,
all of this has to be wiped out. We can't
can't live like we can't live this way anymore. It's
it's absurd. Let me see here, let me uh well,
(29:32):
his overall philosophy was in cut number five. Play cut
five again.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
For too long, we've promoted too many uniform.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
Leaders for the wrong reasons, based on their race, based
on gender quotas, based on historics, so called firsts. We've
pretended that combat arms and non combat arms are the
same thing. We've weeded out so called toxic leaders under
the guys of double blind psychology assessments, promoting risk averse
(29:59):
goal along to get along conformists instead.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You name it. The department did it.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading
and we lost our way.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
We became the woke Department. But not anymore. Uh Cut twelve.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Any place where tried and true physical standards were altered,
especially since twenty fifteen when combat arms standards were changed
to ensure females could qualify, must be returned to their
original standard. Other standards have been manipulated to hit racial
quotas as well, which is just as unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
This too, must end.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Merit only the President talks about it all the time,
merit based, which.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Is again the way the world worked all my conscious life.
That's the way the world everything was. Merit doesn't matter
what you look like, doesn't matter you're male, female, what
your color is, ethnicity. You're either good enough to do
it or you're not. And so now the standard physically
in the military is going to be what males can do.
(31:11):
And if you're a woman and you can't do what's required,
you don't get to be in anymore. And the same
thing for a man. And see that's the thing. It's
always was fair because weak men. It's an average man.
If you couldn't do the physical training, if you couldn't
meet the standards, you were out and you always had
(31:32):
to be extremely fit and toned in shape. Why wouldn't
you want that in the military, Crazy stupid era We're in,
but it's over now.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Conway's up next.
Speaker 1 (31:51):

Oklahoma Governor, Kevin Stit on tomorrow. We had been running
a promo that he would be here today. He'll be
on tomorrow, and the Oklahoma Governor is coming on because
(00:38):
he'll be in Los Angeles on Friday downtown LA at
the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Oklahoma is going on a
full court press to lure California businesses to their state.
And they're offering low costs, lower taxes, much less regulation,
(01:00):
a good workforce, modern infrastructure, and you know a lot
of businesses are moving to Texas, to Florida, to Tennessee
to Nevada. Well, Oklahoma wants to get in on the party,
and so tomorrow Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt will be on
our show. Now we're going to talk to someone involved
(01:21):
in this entire program. Chet hit Chet is a former
Apple Valley, California resident who's owner of the Chickasha Airport
Industrial Park in Oklahoma, and let's get him on now.
He's part of the Chickasha Economic Development Council.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Chet.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
I'm perfect? How are you?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I'm good? So are you got any ties to Apple
Valley anymore? Or are you completely in Oklahoma?
Speaker 3 (01:53):
No? I still have a few things that I'm still
doing there, but I'm trying to liquidate everything and move
to Oklahoma as a permanent business place and opportunities.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
So what made you want to transition your life and
your business to Oklahoma and get out get out of California.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Well, I've been in business since nineteen ninety five with
funeral home company. Wudn't think there'd be many regulations there,
but with all the climate of California and the negative
stuff that's happening between workers comp and pogo lawsuits and
anything and everything else, it's just made it really hard
for businesses. And I went to Oklahoma. I ended up
(02:34):
being in I bought some commercial industrial land and I'm
selling part of it to a power plant and data Center.
We're working on that program right now. And then I
ended up wanted to develop my my industrial park, and
then I ended up at the governor's mansion. I said
to the governor, Hey, you want to go to California?
I said, Newsom's got this state so screwed up. You know,
(02:56):
there's a lot of opportunities, and why not get out
of get people who go to Oklahoma versus Texas. And
this is actually the first time in the state where
more people are leaving Texas going to Oklahoma than they
are Oklahoma going to Texas.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Oh so a lot of people are leaving Texas to
go to Oklahoma.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Now it's the first time that it's reversed.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
I see.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
So yeah, yeah, we're open for business there.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
All right, Well, and what kind of company you run again?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Right now? It's I'm doing a development with commercial industrial space.
It's the golden age of manufacturing and it's the low
cost of doing business. So I basically bought this industrial
park to try to relocate people. With Trump's new program
and trying to get the industry going and manufacturing going,
we want to be a supply chain for the Air
(03:47):
Force area, and so we're looking for businesses that do manufacturing,
that create good jobs, that want to relocate.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
All right, talk about the advantages of Oklahoma versus California
or a business, especially a manufacturing business, since that's what
you were you were discussing, like what is better in Oklahoma?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Why is it better?
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Well, I'll give you one example. If you're a business
that has fifty employees, and you have fifty employees, the
state of Oklahoma currently has grants available that if you
relocate paid twenty four dollars an hour average with some
healthcare over a ten year period, they're going to give
you close to three million dollars in rebates three hundred
(04:29):
grand a year. I mean that's just one part of it.
If you're a manufacturer, there's manufacturing grants. I mean, this
state is it's unbelievable. I've seen all this stuff, not
counting workers comp and different things like that are lower.
They actually now have a worker's comp court that business
owners that you can't just go file workers comp You
got to deal with with this court that's governed by
(04:53):
business owners to see if these things are real or not.
And that's what really makes it nice. So it's just
a much friendlier climate to do business. And when you're
in Oklahoma, you see the LA fires and everything burning up,
you know, and you turn around and say, I can
get a building permit in ten working days on a
fifty thousand square foot building.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Wait wait, wait, hold on, stop right there, you can
get a building permit fifty thousand square foot facility in
ten days ten days.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
In Chickashe, Oklahoma. Right now.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yep, you mentioned the screaming going on in the Palisades
right now.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
People want to build a replica of their old home
in the Palisades and they can't get the permit.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Right the regulations is. It's sad thinking that I was
going to live and dine in California to leave here
because of the business climate.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And the land is obviously much less.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Expensive, absolutely, you know. I'll give you an example in Fontana,
which used to be the area that's really was not
desirable industrial spaces. Found out the other day it's like
seven hundred and fifty thousand and acre and I'm selling
one acre. I can go up to however many acres
(06:13):
you want for one hundred and twenty five thousand acre,
which includes a water meter and sewer, So it's the
cost of doing business so much less there than it
is here.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Plus the living is less. Taxes are way less. What's
your income taxes like? For individuals and for corporate? Do
you know the number?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Four point seventy five percent state income tax? And the
governor you can ask him tomorrow, but he is working
on a path to zero state income tax.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
It's at four point seventy five right now? Yeah, oh
that hurts.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, yeah, what we what do we have? Three thirteen
point three?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Yeah, actually there's there's a super tax level over fourteen
now yeah, oh my god. So well, I mean it's
it's it's very it's a very inviting package that you're
describing here.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, and the crime rates down and and you know,
just there's just a lot of opportunities. I mean, Oklahoma
now has an NBA championship team. It's got things for you,
you know. I mean, it's a great it's a great opportunity.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
All Right, Well, you know tomorrow we're gonna have the
governor on Kevin sits Kevin Stitt, and it's gonna be
at the La Athletic Club in downtown LA tomorrow morning,
and we are going to uh interview him tomorrow and
and Chet This is Chet Hit, owner of the Chickasha
Airport Industrial Park. Uh formerly, he's primarily in Apple Valley
(07:45):
in California. And he's gotten out and you you you
heard why? Uh well, Chet, it's good to have you on.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Thank you, thank you, have a great day.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Good We're gonna have you.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I mean, there's there's hundreds of people like Hit, and
all the other states are getting involved. I mean I heard,
you know, Rob Low, the actor, he has a podcast
and I just heard a little clip of it. You know,
he went to he's hosting a game show and he
(08:18):
taped the whole game show in Ireland, the whole series.
You wouldn't think game shows are costly, right, but I
heard him say it was cheaper to get everybody to Ireland,
that it would be just to go down to the
other end of the Fox.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Lot and tape the show.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Because of all the ridiculous costs in California that California had.
You know, they were offering forty percent tax credits in
other states and countries where California was offering nothing. And
there's the Hollywood business is dying rapidly, and Newsom was
(08:57):
way late with his tax credit deal. And now you
heard chet there. I mean, you have no idea how
businesses are fleeing California and they're headed to Texas, in
Florida and Tennessee. And you may hear somebody going, yeah, well,
we got the largest economy. It's extremely weighted towards the
(09:18):
mega tech companies like Google and Meta and Tesla and Nvidia,
extremely weighted there.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
The rest of the rest of the state, we're in
bad shape.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
That's one of the most distorted, ridiculous, absurd statistics that
Newsome and his sycophants parrot.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
More coming up.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
We're just talking about how the governor of Oklahoma, who
will be on our show tomorrow, is coming to Los
Angeles to speak to business people at the Downtown Athletic
Club to to help lure them to Oklahoma and bring
their businesses and their manufacturing plants. And uh because Oklahoma,
(10:09):
I mean, they've got inexpensive land, very low taxes, they
have apparently a strong workforce, and they're just building themselves
for growth and low regulation. I can't tell you. Regulation
(10:30):
is hard to explain on the radio. I've never really
figured out a way. It is so complicated in each
specific specific business. But it's a lot of nonsense. It's
a lot of control. Well, it's it's control freaks with
obsessive compulsive disorders.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
You know.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's that's a real mental disturbance. And they end up
in government because they have to control how other people
run their industries, how you do your business. And they
all end up in government and they're just miserable, awful people.
And instead of you know, getting on some kind of
anti psychotic drug, they make everybody else miserable with their obsessions,
(11:13):
you know, and their causes and their political stuff.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
What climate change is about. Climate change is just an.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Excuse for all the uh, all the most irritating control
freaks in life to have a cause to justify why
they're telling you what to do and why they're taxing
you extra money for it. It's it's this is all
everything's a mental disorder. Now you have that, right, Yeah,
you have these businesses that are leaving, and now you
(11:44):
have tourists who are not coming to la very much anymore.
Two separate articles, one of the La Times one of
the Daily Mail in London about how tourism in LA
has dropped by a significant amount international tourists down eight percent.
Eight percent doesn't sound like a big number. That's one
(12:05):
hundred and seventy thousand fewer tourists internationally than last year,
one hundred and seventy thousand, and that's just through August
and LA Times. Who is this Serrus Davies serious? Ce Rys,
I don't know, man, woman. Nobody has a normal name anymore.
(12:28):
This person writes this lengthy article without and focuses some
of it on Hollywood Boulevard without ever once mentioning all
the mental patients and drug addicts that line Hollywood Boulevard
and are absolutely terrifying. I know this firsthand. We like
(12:52):
going to the Hollywood Bowl and we tend to park
it a lot on Hollywood Boulevard. Otherwise you're paying one
hundred dollars for a parking space, and so the parking
is cheaper, and we don't mind walking up Highland Avenue
up the hill. But oh my god, the crazy people,
(13:14):
and they used to just be out at night. Now
they're out during the day. And Karen Bass is just shameless,
and so are these jackasses and city council. You have
like one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world
on Hollywood Boulevard, And then you have the La Times
not even acknowledged that that's one of the big reasons.
(13:35):
And you know why, because everything's on social media. I
can't tell you how many montages of screaming maniacs on
Hollywood Boulevard are out there circulating around the globe. You
have all these people, all these groups that have video
(13:58):
recorded every crazy person like banging his head against the wall,
running around with no pants on, laying in his own
vomiting feces, menacing, threatening, harassing people, I mean, just standing
on the middle of the street mindlessly howling at the moon.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This Steff's all over the internet.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
In fact, I know from going back to the East
Coast and you start talking to people they hear you
from California, they actually flinch, they recoil.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Is it really that bad there? Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:33):
But you know what they blame, they play, They blame
Trump's tariffs. Stop that, Trump's Yeah, Trump's tariffs keeps people
from going on Hollywood Boulevard. What a load of feces.
Immigration crackdown repelled visitors. No, it wasn't the immigration crackdown
(14:55):
that's going on in all fifty states. It was the
riots that Karen Bess encouraged. It was the rioting that
scared people, not the crackdowns. All the cities and states
are getting cracked downs. I mean they've arrested thousands and
thousands of people. They weren't all in LA. This was
an article made of absolute nonsense. Cirrus Davies another like
(15:22):
non journalist.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Tariffs.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Foot traffic this summer for some businesses are down by
fifty percent. They even blamed the fires. The fires were
in January. The whole world knows that was the Palisades
out by the ocean. Wasn't Hollywood Boulevard. I mean, I mean, really,
this is such a propaganda outt This is such nonsense.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Pravda. Wasn't this shameless?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Really?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Number one, number two, Number three vagrants, mental patients and
drug addicts, and then all the crime they commit, and
there's a lot of crime being committed, and all the
criminals who are not vagrants.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Crime is terrible.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Everybody I know on the West Side, every single friend
and acquaintance I have, we talk about this. They're not
going downtown, not going to Hollywood Boulevard. People, when you
think of it you say, hey, you want to go
to Hollywood Boulevard, What are you crazy? That's the response.
It's the response here, it's the response on the East Coast,
it's the response in Europe. Everybody sees what's going on.
(16:40):
The only people who don't care are Karen Bass and
the city council members and the writers.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
At the LA Times.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
We are on every day from one to four o'clock
and then after four o'clock John cobelt Show.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
On demand on the iHeart app. Moistline for Friday eight
seven seven Moist daighty six eight seven seven Moist daty six.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You usually talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Normally, I
don't spend much time on the government's shutdown because there
seems to be one of these, you know, every two
three years, and it usually ends up being kind of
a dud of a story.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Nothing really happens.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Even if they have a shutdown doesn't affect I don't
remember shut down affecting my life.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
What about traffic? Air traffic controllers.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
They have to work, see the important agencies are required
to keep going.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Okay, I hope so I know.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
I was going to say that would affect your life.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, or they might just have one guy on the
runway with a red flat and that's it. Yeah, that's all.
That's all the budget they have. Everyone's going to get
their Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, the irs irs good
and what else? Oh, the military. If some war breaks out,
the military will be there. But a lot of now
(18:15):
here's the thing. Normally employees, a lot of them were
non essential or sent home on furlough. But this is
Trump we have in office. And remember that when Elon
Musk was reigning and we had DOZE active, they wanted
(18:37):
to cut hundreds of thousands of jobs and the courts
wouldn't let them because Congress had appropriated the money. And
if Congress appropriates money, then you can't fire those people
and you have to pay them. So we've never had
a president whose goal was to dismantle much of the government.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
If they don't pass a bill funding the government by
midnight tonight, then Trump could fire three hundred thousand people
if he wants, because there's no funding. See, once the
government's funded by Congress, then he can't fire these people.
But if you have this lapse in funding, then everyone
(19:24):
can be kicked out for good. And that's the hammer
Trump has on the Democrats here because most of these
government workers, they vote overwhelmingly Democrat and they live in
the Washington, d C. Virginia, Maryland area, and so there's
a lot of tough talk going on, but ultimately I
want to.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
See if the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And the reason the Democrats matter in this is because
in the Senate they could you know, they have the
filibuster rules, So you need sixty votes to pass this budget,
and the Republicans only have what do they have fifty
three seats I think, so they need seven Democrats right
now they can't get any, so the bill doesn't pass.
(20:08):
On the flip side, if funding lapses and Trump fires
three hundred thousand workers, all the people Elon Musk wanted
a fire but couldn't at the time, Oh, there's gonna
be holy hell on the Democrats. They actually had the
power here either to pass it. And this new funding
(20:29):
keeps everything in place. There's no increases, there's no cuts,
but there are some like Obamacare subsidies that are supposed
to expire, and they don't want those to expire. They
want to shovel more money at that. So that's that's
the game of chicken. Now, most of these things end
up resolving, and so it's it's not really getting it's
(20:52):
not worth getting worked up for. But boy, if they
actually go to midnight and Trump, you know, Trump's up
all night, he doesn't sleep. I mean, he's going to
start issuing like truth social executive orders probably a twelve
oh one and conceivably could fire hundreds of thousands of people,
and who knows what all these people do, probably a
(21:13):
lot of mar waste. Now Trump is taunting the two
Democratic leaders. I don't know if you heard this so absurd,
I can hardly believe that this is really a thing.
But Kim Jeffries is the House leader and Chuck Schumer
is the Senate leader, and Trump decided to mock them
(21:35):
because they refused to see things his way on this budget.
So he sent out an AI generated video and it
is a fake Schumer and a fake Aquem Jeffries, although
they look real. But Haquem Jeffries is wearing a Mexican
sombrero and he's got a little Mexican mustache, like cartoon
(21:58):
characters used to have. And this is the video Trump
put out last night.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Look, guys, there's no way to sugarcoated. Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
We have no voters left because of all of our
woke trans books. Not even black people want to vote
for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need
new voters.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
And if we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare,
we might be able to get them on our side
so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English,
so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke
pieces of work, you know, at least for a while
until they learn English and they realize they hate us too.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
If you watch it, it looks like the real Chuck Schumer,
and it sounds like the real Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 5 (22:46):
John, you're next what somebody is going to come out
and they're going to have you talking about how much
you love for reason, Gavin newsombery and Karen Bass is
your best friend.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I bet you Kevin Knewsome as a furry. I don't
think you don't think. No, I don't think anyway. I
want to see an AI. Don't give peoples. I'm giving
myself ideas.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Oh what did we.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Turn you into doing doing commercials for the meat? Yeah,
the meat industry.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
I know.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Okay, I'm going to shut up now how.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Much you love cheeseburgers and the mediums? All right, we
got more coming. I'll play you some. Pete Hechsath started
off with this and it actually got me in a
really good mood. And Pete Hegseath said, no more fat soldiers,
no more fat generals, and no more any of this
woke nonsense. He he convened all the military leaders in
(23:50):
the nation UH into one big room in Quantico, Virginia,
and he told basically, all the nonsense of the last
thirty years has been canceled, eradicated.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Play some of the clips when we come back.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI, a.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobelt Radio. All right, so Pete Hegseth
had all the military leaders in all branches come together
in Quantico, Virginia. Today there's all hands on deck meeting
and it was to tell them once and for all,
(24:33):
the woke era is over. No more woke politically correct nonsense.
It's the Department of War. We're here to to fight.
We've got to kill, we've got to destroy things, and
everybody has got to be in the best physical condition possible.
(24:54):
And we have to have the highest standards or you
don't get to serve. It's not for you. And he's
no longer interested in everybody's feelings and everybody's preferences and
your pronouns. I thought this clip probably summed it up
the best. This is a Headsex got six.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
This administration has done a great deal from day one
to remove the social justice, politically correct and toxic ideological
garbage that had infected our department. To rip out the politics.
No more identity months, dei offices, dudes in dresses, no
(25:37):
more climate change worship, no more division distraction or gender delusions,
no more debris.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
As I've said before.
Speaker 8 (25:45):
And we'll say again, we are done with that.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Yeah, and I wish we could rid this of out
of every corporation, out of everything that you're you're you're
forced to to to watch on television that you get
lectured by, get it all out of the universities. I mean,
enough of this era. This era has been exhausting, depressing, overwhelming,
(26:13):
and it's it's done no good, no good at.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
All, just being have done with that.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yes, just pissed everybody off and there's been no purpose
to it. So just garbage is the is the best
way he described it, and he went after fat troops.
No more of that either. Cut seven.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
The new War Department golden rule is this, do onto
your unit as you would have done onto your own
child's unit. Would you want him serving with fat or
unfit or undertrained troops, or alongside people who can't meet
basic standards, or in a unit where standards were lowered
(26:58):
so certain types of troops could make it in in
a unit where leaders were promoted for reasons other than
merit performance and war fighting.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
The answer is not just no, it's hell though, and
he expands on this, go to cut eight.
Speaker 8 (27:16):
I don't want my son serving alongside troops who are
out of shape, or in combat unit with females who
can't meet the same combat arms physical standards as men,
or troops who are not fully proficient on their assigned weapons,
platform or task, or under a.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Leader who was the first but not the best.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Standards must be uniform, gender neutral, and high.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
I actually didn't think I'd live long enough to see
at least some of this come back. This is the
way the world worked for you for in America for
about two hundred and forty years, and in the last
ten years and maybe longer than that, it just started unraveling.
Everybody got caught up in every trendy bit of social
justice nonsense, and it just seemed to come from all sides,
(28:06):
and it just ruined almost everything in life and all
the good stuff in life. And I mean it certainly
ruined television and you know, ruined the movies. I mean,
look what it's done in the cities. Can't enjoy walking
out to go to a restaurant, go to a shop,
(28:27):
to go to a sporting event, or it's all because
of social justice nonsense, whether it's homeless people. It's made
workplaces uncomfortable because all these people started showing up fresh
out of the universities with bizarre ideas on how we're
supposed to speak, how we're supposed to address each other.
(28:48):
I mean, it has been oppressive and now it's finally
breaking apart into pieces. And that's why you need an
administration like this, You need a bulldozer. This is because
almost everybody hated it, but most were afraid. You had
true believers. But the true believers were a tiny little
sliver of the country, and they were Everybody else was intimidated, bullied,
(29:10):
frightened that they were gonna get canceled. Oh, you can't
say that anymore, can't tell that you all. I mean,
all of this has to be wiped out. We can't
can't live like we can't live this way anymore. It's
it's absurd. Let me see here, let me uh well,
(29:32):
his overall philosophy was in cut number five. Play cut
five again.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
For too long, we've promoted too many uniform.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
Leaders for the wrong reasons, based on their race, based
on gender quotas, based on historics, so called firsts. We've
pretended that combat arms and non combat arms are the
same thing. We've weeded out so called toxic leaders under
the guys of double blind psychology assessments, promoting risk averse
(29:59):
goal along to get along conformists instead.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
You name it. The department did it.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Foolish and reckless political leaders set the wrong compass heading
and we lost our way.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
We became the woke Department. But not anymore. Uh Cut twelve.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Any place where tried and true physical standards were altered,
especially since twenty fifteen when combat arms standards were changed
to ensure females could qualify, must be returned to their
original standard. Other standards have been manipulated to hit racial
quotas as well, which is just as unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
This too, must end.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Merit only the President talks about it all the time,
merit based, which.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Is again the way the world worked all my conscious life.
That's the way the world everything was. Merit doesn't matter
what you look like, doesn't matter you're male, female, what
your color is, ethnicity. You're either good enough to do
it or you're not. And so now the standard physically
in the military is going to be what males can do.
(31:11):
And if you're a woman and you can't do what's required,
you don't get to be in anymore. And the same
thing for a man. And see that's the thing. It's
always was fair because weak men. It's an average man.
If you couldn't do the physical training, if you couldn't
meet the standards, you were out and you always had
(31:32):
to be extremely fit and toned in shape. Why wouldn't
you want that in the military, Crazy stupid era We're in,
but it's over now.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Conway's up next.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
