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 are on every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app. It's the podcast and that's where you get
to listen to what you missed. This seems to me
like chapter three of a trilogy. Chapter one several years ago,
(00:23):
Kevin Newsom puts us all of Lockdown with harsh rules,
and then he goes to the French Laundry and crowds
into a small dining room with twelve other people, including
a lot of lobbyists who bribe him for a living,
and he drinks a lot of wine and eats a
lot of expensive food, and somebody snapped a photo of it,
(00:46):
and that became a scandal so big there was a
recall election over it. That's what really ignited the recall,
And the recall was going on, but they weren't getting
enough signatures until somebody took a photo of him at
the French Laundry. There were no masks at the table, none.
And then we had Karen Bass drinking in Ghana at
(01:09):
a party when the Pacific Palisades started to burn. Remember
the fire started I think at about ten thirty in
the morning on January the seventh, and she was in Ghana,
in Africa, at a cocktail party celebrating the inauguration of
(01:33):
the new president of Ghana. Same time, while the Palisades
was beginning to burn, she was in Africa partying. So
while you were locked up in your house, Newsom was
partying at the French laundry. When the Palisades thousands were fleeing,
running for their lives, losing their homes. Forever Bass was
(01:56):
partying in Ghana. And now Chapter three. The riots begin
in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, June the sixth. We were
on the air, I member seeing the television monitors and
you could see the mayhem starting to starting to begin
in downtown LA. So everybody knew about it. By the
(02:17):
afternoon of Saturday, June seventh, right the riots were twenty
four hours old. Did Gavin Newsom immediately fly to Los Angeles,
immediately contact the National Guard, contact LAPD, the Sheriff's Department,
to see what he could do, what kind of state
resources to quell the rioters. No, he did not. He
(02:39):
did not offer the National Guard. He did not contact anybody.
He went over to the Odette State Winery. That's his winery.
He co founded it. In twenty eleven, there was an event.
The name of the event was Vineyard Vibes. I'm not
making this up, Vineyard Vibes. It was a fundraiser for
(03:05):
the plump Jack Foundation. Pumpjack is the name of this
wine company. It's his wine label. His sister created the
plump Jack Foundation and featured contemporary yet sophisticated wines, live
jazz music, locally made pizza and smash burgers. The perfect
(03:25):
kickoff to summer fun. Read the promotion, This will take
place on the winery crush pad, where we'll gather for music, food, conversation,
and delicious wine. And he did while Los Angeles rioted
Waycaren Bass was drinking at the cocktail party in Ghana,
(03:48):
Ghana while Los Angeles burned. A source who photographed Newsom
at the event. I love that there's always a picture
of this expressed shock that the government was an attendance
because the riots had broken out the day before.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
The source said, he was just walking around like this
was an everyday occurrence. He was at the party for
ninety minutes. When he left, he appeared to retreat to
the inner rooms of his winery, maybe to get loaded,
we don't know. So as he was drinking wine in
Napa Valley, the writers had already begun vandalizing public buildings,
(04:30):
barricading streets, setting vehicles on fire, throwing rocks, bottles, and
cinder blocks at law enforcement officers that evening, shortly after
the wine party finished. Newsom had done nothing to help
stop the disturbance. That's when Trump stepped in and authorized
the deployment of two thousand National Guard troops, saying they
(04:51):
were needed to address the lawlessness. Newsom, of course has
been protesting it ever since, filing lawsuits, filing appeals.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
But the true it was.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
He was hosting a wine party in Napa Valley while
La was burning, while Trump was ordering the National Guard
to put out the rioting.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
That's what Newsom was doing.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
This.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
This is just poetic and its beauty, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
French laundry during the COVID lockdown, cocktail party in Ghana
during the Palisades fire, and now we have a Napa
Valley wine event that Newsom was hosting while the riots
broke out in LA spokeshole for the governor said that
(05:46):
Newsom proudly attended the event because it was raising funds
for the uc SF Cancer Center in honor of his mother,
who died of breast cancer. He actually hid behind his mother,
his deceased mother. This is how he justifies abandoning Los
Angeles during a riot to drink. He was raising money
(06:08):
for his mother. He did this a few days ago,
didn't he, when there was this whole hubbub whether he
was interfering with immigration. Well, my daughter is worried, daddy,
are you going to get arrested? He is so sad
and pathetic. He hides behind his daughter and deceased mother.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Well, it's all about his family.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
It's they do a run through of the French laundry story.
And remember he had told all of us not to
get together with our families for the approaching Thanksgiving holiday.
This was in November of twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Well, you could remember, when you're eating. In between the
eating and taking SIPs, you put your mask up. Just
take your mask down when you sip, and you put
it right back up. But you also, you cannot you
have to be outside, and.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Then after a while you couldn't be outside, remember exactly right.
He later would apologize, saying, I made a bad mistake.
I need to preach and practice, not just not just preaching,
not practice.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Chapter three, Chapter three in the trilogy, Gavin Newsom found
drinking wine twenty four hours after the la riots started.
He did not call the National Guard. Trump had to
and going back to last hour, LAPD commanders are saying,
(07:41):
and other LAPD officers are saying, we needed the National Guard.
In fact, we needed more than came. Than what came.
So LAPD was begging for the National Guard. Newsom didn't
even consider it because he was guzzling the wine. This
is what you have running the city and the state.
(08:03):
It is no wonder. It's wal to ole chaos. The
two of them, Bass and Newsom are more interested in
going to elite cocktail parties.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Well, they need to relax. I mean, wine helps people relax.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's very stressful.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
It's stressful running a city in a state.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Especially a city that's burning and rioting. Right, it's you know,
you need to take a break and knock back a
couple of lines.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
All right, more coming up.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and then after four o'clock. Whatever you miss you get
on the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app. All right, this is a really peculiar rabbit
hole that I went down regarding Gavin Newsom. One of
the stories we brought to you was that a City
(08:57):
journal one of their writers christ for RUFO, and this
is also with Charles Layman. They had written a piece
that on the riots broke out on Friday, June the sixth.
In the afternoon Saturday June seventh, the writing intensified, and
(09:18):
by that evening Trump announced he's bringing in the National Guard.
Part of the justification was Newsom and Karen Bass weren't
doing anything about the riots. And the question it has
been is like, why does Newsom and Bass let these
things get out of hand? And then RUFO and Layman
(09:39):
discovered that the Saturday after the riots broke out, just
a few hours before Trump set in the National Guard,
Newsom was hosting a wine tasting party in Napa Valley.
It was a fundraiser for the Pump Jack Foundation, And
(10:01):
there's a picture of him talking to a blonde holding
on to a goblet of wine, a red wine, wearing
a T shirt and a baseball cap, and it looks
like the completion of the trilogy. First we had him
drinking at the French laundry while he had locked down
(10:24):
the rest of the state, ruined all those businesses, locked
children out of their schools, ruining their childhoods. And he
was busy, busy drinking and eating at one of the
most expensive restaurants in California. Part two of the trilogy
was carried Bass told by the National Weather Service many
(10:45):
many times, Hey, major firestorm risk. She goes off to
Ghana in Africa, new President's being inaugurated, and while the
fire was raised in the Palisades, she was drinking at
the cocktail party honoring the President of Ghana. So, when
(11:11):
we were all locked down and people were diving of
dying of COVID, Newsom was drinking and attending a private party,
violating all the COVID rules. The Palisades were burning and
people were dying, Bass was drinking at a private party
in Africa. And now Flora, now Los Angeles is rioting,
(11:36):
cars are burning police are getting stoned, their cars are
getting hit with concrete blocks, fires are breaking out. Way
Moo's ablaze. There he is again enjoying the good life.
And it's it's how they live because they don't care.
(12:00):
You may want, You may have this childish fantasy that
they care. You may be emotionally invested in them. You really,
I would tell you to seek help, but I don't.
I don't think there is any help for that. You know,
if you're a grown adult and you have an emotional
investment and you think a politician cares about you, Okay,
that's what you want to believe. That's a nice little
(12:22):
fairy tale. Well Newsom's Newsom's press office went per Zerk,
writing to Christopher Rufo, the journalist who broke this, you
have no shame disgusting this live fielled report about an
(12:42):
annual cancer research fundraiser hosted in honor of the governor's
dead mother, who died of breast cancer.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Well, I went back to the original story and it said.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Spokesperson for the governor said Newsom had proudly attended the event,
which was intended to raise funds for the UCS SEF
Cancer Center in honor of his mother, who died of
breast cancer, so it was mentioned that they quoted the
governor's spokesperson. The point was whether it was a cancer
(13:14):
fundraiser or not. Newsom was nowhere near Los Angeles when
the riots happened and did not gather the National Guard
to try to stop them, to help out LAPD, which
was getting attacked. LAPD said they were overwhelmed. And again
(13:35):
he's caught drinking expensive wine. So I start went on
the internet. This is how I fell into this rabbit
hole learn some things. Either I didn't know or I'm
getting Biden dimension. I don't remember. I started, you know,
just typing in Gavin Newsom, his mother, breast cancer, wine,
(13:59):
all the stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And it turns out.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
On October twenty ninth of twenty eighteen in the New Yorker,
Newsom was just days away from getting elected governor for
the first time, and they did a peace on him,
which was somewhat unflattering. And this came out just days
before the election. Of course, the election was pretty much
a done deal. I don't know if there's got a
(14:24):
lot of publicity. I just simply don't remember this, and
I doubt local media picked up on this, but the
story was that Newsom helped out his mother to what's
the phrase, if we.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Can't die, die by suicide, to die by suicide.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And I'm seeing this headline because the National Review that
week had picked up on the New Yorker story and
it wrote that Gavin Newsom helped mother's assisted suicide, and
they excerpted this piece. Newsom's sister Hillary said that when
(15:09):
their mother had breast cancer in her fifties, he Newsom
was difficult to reach. This is Newsom's sister I quote,
Kevin had trouble explaining to me how hard for him
it was to be with her when she was dying,
And I had trouble explaining to him how much I
needed him back then. He's back then he seemed like
the kind of guy who had never change a diaper.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
That's code for incredibly selfish and narcissistic. In May twenty
two and May of two thousand and two, his mother
decided to end her life through assisted suicide. Newsom recalled
she left me a message because I was too busy.
This is the voicemail message, hope you're well. Next Wednesday
will be the last day for me. Hope you can
(15:55):
make it. This is how isolated he was from his mother.
I saved the cassette with the message on it. That's
how sick I am, said Newsom. He crossed his arms
and jammed his hands into his armpits. This is out
of the New Yorker. I have PTSD and this is
bringing it all back. The night before we gave her
the drugs, I cooked her dinner hard boiled eggs, and
(16:17):
she told me get out of politics. She was worried
about the stress on me. And in California at the time,
assisted suicide was a felony in two thousand and two,
and Newsom was a member of the San Francisco Board
of Supervisors, and as Wesley Smith writes in The National Review,
(16:39):
he was sworn.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
To uphold the law.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
But she died in San Francisco, and he assisted with
the suicide at a time when that was a felony,
and she had to shame him to come back and.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Be there. And I only.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Found this because his press office got so snarky about
being called out on attending the party and then getting
angry with reporters who started publicizing it.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
It's a weird story, isn't it you're listening to John
Cobels on demand from KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
We are here every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock John Cobot Show on demand on the
iHeart app, and you could hear what you missed. Susan
Shelley writes terrific columns a southern California news group like
the La Daily News, Orange County Register, and all the
suburban papers in the area. And also it's published in
(17:46):
many other places, such as this week The New York Post,
where she explained to a lot of East Coast readers
that hell is going on in Los Angeles and about
the Ice Rice riots, showing decades of California's political decay.
Let's get Susan Shelley on here.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
How are you, Susan, I'm good, John, Thank you for
having me.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
A really good column.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Buss, thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
One of my favorite parts of it early on is
when you note that in the lawsuit that Trump lawyers
filed in San Francisco in the first round of this
debate over who controls the National Guard, they detailed what
the protesters did. They threw rocks, bottles, chunks of concrete,
(18:35):
exploding mortar style fireworks at the police, setting cars on fire,
molotov cocktails, shutting down the one to one freeway, ramming
dumpsters into walls of buildings. And you note that most
members of the city council issued a joint statement we
condemned this and no uncertain terms. But they weren't condemning
the rioters and all those actions they were condemning one four.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yes, this is their view that law enforcement causes violence
and lawlessness. And how are they twisting themselves into pretzels
like this? As you pointed out, they always try to
blur the line between legal immigration and legal immigration. They're
always trying to erase crime, as if it's not happening.
Everyone's just going to the stores and ransacking the shelves,
(19:23):
and now there's plexiglass and locks everywhere. But it's not
a problem. And the elected officials have this view that
nothing is a crime unless some business puts up a
sign or fails to put up the right labor poster,
then they come after them with handcuffs. But in general,
this lawlessness, closing the state prisons, their whole attitude is
(19:44):
it's not a problem, and now they're trying to stop
federal law enforcement. And they're trying to say, as a
Melda Padilla on the city said to the police chief,
can't you just warn us when the federal officials are
on the way and let us warn our community. The
police chief I said, yeah, we can't do that. What
(20:05):
stunned by that?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Asking the police chiefs to warn everyone that federal law
enforcement was coming.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
In right, And their position is that the federal government,
the president has no right to enforce federal law in
Los Angeles. And Meldepedia even said, out of your loyalty
to Los Angeles, won't you do this as if Los
Angeles is a separate country from the United States. Well,
it's not, and there are plenty of voters who don't
think it is or should be, And so this is
(20:33):
a really interesting political thing. I think what's going on
is this is all about the congressional races in twenty
twenty six, because I looked it up and there are
nine races that were decided well won by less than
fifty four percent of the vote, and there were six
of those nine that were so close that they were
one with fifty two percent or less. So George Whiteside's
(20:56):
in La County and Ken Calvert, who's a Republican in
County three Democrats Derek Tran, Dave min and Mike Levin
in Orange County and San Diego County, and these are
very close. So how big a deal is it if
the Latino vote moves a little bit toward the Democrats
when we just saw the President Trump move the Latino
(21:17):
vote quite a bit toward the Republicans. I think that's
mostly what this is about.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, he's getting a majority of mail Latino votes now
and even overall he's up to forty five percent in
the last election. So I don't know how supporting chaos
and riots, I mean, they act like Hispanic families are
different than white or black families. Nobody wants the chaos
(21:42):
and the riots has nothing to do with Colera ethnicity.
So I don't know how trying to pander to pander
them to violent illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I don't know how that helps the cause.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
But if you listen to what they're saying. Maxine Waters
went and stood in front of a federal building and
said that the National Guard was there with guns. She
was sure they had orders to shoot to kill. And
then she said, I don't know but why else would
they have guns. Well, they might have guns to protect
themselves against crazed rioters ramming dumpsters at them. That might
be one thing. But it's such a fearmongering, racially tinged
(22:17):
kind of call to arms that these Democrats are making
on the streets that I really think they're trying to
They're trying to racially divide the vote, and I think
you're right, it won't work because nobody wants chaos, and
there's a big distinction between criminals and immigrants. This is
a crazy This is a crazy thing that they're trying
(22:38):
to do. But I don't think they have anything else
to run on in twenty twenty six, and I think
this is their this is their game.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No, but it's really gotten insane. It's it's inexplicable. Where
do these views come from? I mean, they go ahead.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
They may come from the Union ties. For example, if
we do immigration enforcement in California, guess what happens to
school attendance. According to the Migration Policy Institute, about fifteen
percent of the five point eight million students in California
public schools grades K through twelve or TK through twelve,
(23:14):
about fifteen percent are either undocumented themselves or have at
least one undocumented parent. So if they drop out of
school out of fear or if they're deported out of policy,
then what happens to school funding, which is based on attendance?
And then what happens to the teachers' union jobs? So
that might be one factor. And another factor we have
one point four million undocumented immigrant adults on medical because
(23:38):
they've expanded medical to all undocumented residents who are low income,
so they are if they're leaving the state, then what
happens to all the new healthcare jobs the SEIU represents.
Maybe it's that, maybe it's the unions and the congressional
races that are behind this craziness that they're twisting themselves
into pretels to oppose lawnch enforcement craziness.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I saw yesterday that fifty eight percent of Californians are
against giving any illegal alien health.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Care tax money shuld vote for office?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah well yeah, what I'm saying is that is there
at any point a backlash when it comes to voting?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
At any point do people flip?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Well, now you read another question, what's going on with
our elections and why are our elected officials so solicitous
of the illegal immigrants? Is it because there's voting involved?
Now there's no evidence, but then you're not allowed to
collect an the evidence, so there's never going to be
any evidence.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
I know.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
The Times just ran a story today about you know,
false claims, you know that Trump makes about illegal aliens
voting and nobody has any evidence. I just cannot believe.
I cannot believe, especially with ballot harvesting and mail in
balloting and the way the vote goes in California against all,
(24:55):
against all reason, that there isn't something funky going on.
I just can't believe it because why would people keep
voting for this?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Well, you raise the exact point. We have ballot harvesting.
We have seven days to deliver ballots that must be
processed seven days after the election. They do not need
a postmark. They're supposed to be marked by the end
of election day. But all that has to happen is
the voter has to write the date on the envelope
and then they have to accept it. So it's just
(25:24):
wide open for fraud.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Right, These laws must have been created for fraud. Why
wouldn't you commit fraud if you were the political party
and you have a supermajority, Why wouldn't you commit fraud?
Because if they don't have to put a postmark, if
it can be coming in seven days after the election,
and then you got all this wacky ballot harvesting going on.
I mean, I don't understand are people not paying attention
(25:48):
to this extent? I mean they see Los Angeles blowing up,
they saw the fires. What what do you need to
see before you say, hey, I'm voting for somebody else.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
We really have to clean up the elections. That's the
first thing that has to happen. Honestly, if Mayor Richard J.
Dally in Chicago had had this system, he would still
be mayor and he's been dead since the nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
All right, Susan Shelley, thank you for coming on with us.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Thank you all right, And.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You can see her a piece in the New York
Post to why LA's ice riots revealed decades of California's
political decay.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
John Cobelt's show Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I
just have a short time. I saw this story and
it got to me. It's one thing that really irritates me,
almost as much as the zombies walking around staring at
their phones, walking along the sidewalks, walking in the street,
(26:55):
utterly oblivious to what's going on.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Air pods.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
People have their AirPods stuck in their ears all the time. Yes,
and and and they walk in the streets nobody, Nobody
looks when they cross the street.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
What about here outside of our parking lot.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I can't tell you how many people are either on
their phones or they have those air pods.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
And there's there's something mean inside me that I.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Just you want to gut in the engine. Yeah I
did too.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I wouldn't ever, but I wanted to. I want to
scream out my window.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Look up.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I've made left turns, and suddenly somebody out of nowhere
ends up walking in front of me as a pedestrian.
And it's because they have earphones or you know, they're
on their phones scrolling, reading text or something. And I
give them the biggest honk imaginable and I make them shake,
I make them like throw their.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Arms up in the air and freeze.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
And then I now yell at him sometimes get off
your phone, just.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Really really shag it.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Makes me crazy because I can't stand zombies, addicted zombies,
whether whether it's you know, the drug addicts that litter
the place or these these iPhone airpad zombies. Apparently people
are showing up, well, they have them at work all day, right,
and they're showing up at a doctor's appointments. There's a
(28:22):
doctor Dan Weazel. This is in Saint Louis Wall Street
Journal story. He's noticed more patients keep their earbuds in
even after he walks into the exam room. And his
initial reaction is that's rude. They don't even want to
give him attention. He's trying to diagnose their disease.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
And I walk right out.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I say, okay, you don't want to know what's going on, Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Just die from it, right, And he says he tries
to be I love this try. Maybe there's a good
reason for it, you know, Maybe it's a hearing aid that's
not a hearing aid. Maybe they are autistic and the
earbuds control sensory overload. No, no, no, your first impulse was correct.
They're not autistic and they don't have a hearing problem.
(29:04):
They're they're they're they're idiots, and they're either listening to
music or listening to a podcast. Of course you were
listening to the art podcast.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
I was going to say, if you're listening to the
John Coe Belt show, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
We'll make an exception.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And you know, one guy says, well, you know, my
AirPods are off, but if someone calls, I can answer
right away. It's like, oh cares, you can answer right away.
You know most of the time my phone rings. I
look and I'm not answering that.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Well, it depends on who it is.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, exactly a lot of people I don't want to
hear from ever.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
One guy.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
One guy went through the drive through line at a
fast food joint and he looked into his bag of
food and somebody these air pods were in there.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
They've fallen him. They've fallen out of their dirty.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Ears with all the earwat Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Into the bag of foods. It's now listen to this
and this kind of this kind of annoyed me too.
Walmart has a dress code and if you're dealing with customers,
you're not supposed to wear earbuds. But according to one
human resource person, they give it up trying to enforce
(30:19):
rules like that. There's a growing number of people who
treat their air pods as permanent facial features. It's like
another sensory organ. They got their ears, their nose, their mouth,
and the AirPod.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
When I first saw those, I thought it was some
kind of weird I don't even know what until I
realized what they were.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, and I'm still startled by people who have a
talk on ear pods on a phone call because I'm
so attuned to crazy homeless people. I'm so terrified by
them that when I see an adult coming and I
see his mouth moving and I could hear his voice,
I'm thinking, Oh, almost wacko, he's going to slip my
throat I do.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I jump. I'm starting to go crazy, I know.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
According to this human resources person, she said, honestly, we
stopped trying to make rules for people way back in
twenty twenty one. We're just grateful the guy wears pants.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Well, that's yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's what it's come down to. You were in pants,
you're hired.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
We are de evolving, if that's a kind we are,
We really are de evolving. Now here's an update from
the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hey, you've been listening
to The John Cobalt Show podcast. 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 are on every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock, John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app. It's the podcast and that's where you get
to listen to what you missed. This seems to me
like chapter three of a trilogy. Chapter one several years ago,
(00:23):
Kevin Newsom puts us all of Lockdown with harsh rules,
and then he goes to the French Laundry and crowds
into a small dining room with twelve other people, including
a lot of lobbyists who bribe him for a living,
and he drinks a lot of wine and eats a
lot of expensive food, and somebody snapped a photo of it,
(00:46):
and that became a scandal so big there was a
recall election over it. That's what really ignited the recall,
And the recall was going on, but they weren't getting
enough signatures until somebody took a photo of him at
the French Laundry. There were no masks at the table, none.
And then we had Karen Bass drinking in Ghana at
(01:09):
a party when the Pacific Palisades started to burn. Remember
the fire started I think at about ten thirty in
the morning on January the seventh, and she was in Ghana,
in Africa, at a cocktail party celebrating the inauguration of
(01:33):
the new president of Ghana. Same time, while the Palisades
was beginning to burn, she was in Africa partying. So
while you were locked up in your house, Newsom was
partying at the French laundry. When the Palisades thousands were fleeing,
running for their lives, losing their homes. Forever Bass was
(01:56):
partying in Ghana. And now Chapter three. The riots begin
in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, June the sixth. We were
on the air, I member seeing the television monitors and
you could see the mayhem starting to starting to begin
in downtown LA. So everybody knew about it. By the
(02:17):
afternoon of Saturday, June seventh, right the riots were twenty
four hours old. Did Gavin Newsom immediately fly to Los Angeles,
immediately contact the National Guard, contact LAPD, the Sheriff's Department,
to see what he could do, what kind of state
resources to quell the rioters. No, he did not. He
(02:39):
did not offer the National Guard. He did not contact anybody.
He went over to the Odette State Winery. That's his winery.
He co founded it. In twenty eleven, there was an event.
The name of the event was Vineyard Vibes. I'm not
making this up, Vineyard Vibes. It was a fundraiser for
(03:05):
the plump Jack Foundation. Pumpjack is the name of this
wine company. It's his wine label. His sister created the
plump Jack Foundation and featured contemporary yet sophisticated wines, live
jazz music, locally made pizza and smash burgers. The perfect
(03:25):
kickoff to summer fun. Read the promotion, This will take
place on the winery crush pad, where we'll gather for music, food, conversation,
and delicious wine. And he did while Los Angeles rioted
Waycaren Bass was drinking at the cocktail party in Ghana,
(03:48):
Ghana while Los Angeles burned. A source who photographed Newsom
at the event. I love that there's always a picture
of this expressed shock that the government was an attendance
because the riots had broken out the day before.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
The source said, he was just walking around like this
was an everyday occurrence. He was at the party for
ninety minutes. When he left, he appeared to retreat to
the inner rooms of his winery, maybe to get loaded,
we don't know. So as he was drinking wine in
Napa Valley, the writers had already begun vandalizing public buildings,
(04:30):
barricading streets, setting vehicles on fire, throwing rocks, bottles, and
cinder blocks at law enforcement officers that evening, shortly after
the wine party finished. Newsom had done nothing to help
stop the disturbance. That's when Trump stepped in and authorized
the deployment of two thousand National Guard troops, saying they
(04:51):
were needed to address the lawlessness. Newsom, of course has
been protesting it ever since, filing lawsuits, filing appeals.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
But the true it was.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
He was hosting a wine party in Napa Valley while
La was burning, while Trump was ordering the National Guard
to put out the rioting.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
That's what Newsom was doing.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
This.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
This is just poetic and its beauty, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
French laundry during the COVID lockdown, cocktail party in Ghana
during the Palisades fire, and now we have a Napa
Valley wine event that Newsom was hosting while the riots
broke out in LA spokeshole for the governor said that
(05:46):
Newsom proudly attended the event because it was raising funds
for the uc SF Cancer Center in honor of his mother,
who died of breast cancer. He actually hid behind his mother,
his deceased mother. This is how he justifies abandoning Los
Angeles during a riot to drink. He was raising money
(06:08):
for his mother. He did this a few days ago,
didn't he, when there was this whole hubbub whether he
was interfering with immigration. Well, my daughter is worried, daddy,
are you going to get arrested? He is so sad
and pathetic. He hides behind his daughter and deceased mother.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Well, it's all about his family.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
It's they do a run through of the French laundry story.
And remember he had told all of us not to
get together with our families for the approaching Thanksgiving holiday.
This was in November of twenty twenty.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Well, you could remember, when you're eating. In between the
eating and taking SIPs, you put your mask up. Just
take your mask down when you sip, and you put
it right back up. But you also, you cannot you
have to be outside, and.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Then after a while you couldn't be outside, remember exactly right.
He later would apologize, saying, I made a bad mistake.
I need to preach and practice, not just not just preaching,
not practice.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So here we go.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Chapter three, Chapter three in the trilogy, Gavin Newsom found
drinking wine twenty four hours after the la riots started.
He did not call the National Guard. Trump had to
and going back to last hour, LAPD commanders are saying,
(07:41):
and other LAPD officers are saying, we needed the National Guard.
In fact, we needed more than came. Than what came.
So LAPD was begging for the National Guard. Newsom didn't
even consider it because he was guzzling the wine. This
is what you have running the city and the state.
(08:03):
It is no wonder. It's wal to ole chaos. The
two of them, Bass and Newsom are more interested in
going to elite cocktail parties.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Well, they need to relax. I mean, wine helps people relax.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's very stressful.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
It's stressful running a city in a state.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Especially a city that's burning and rioting. Right, it's you know,
you need to take a break and knock back a
couple of lines.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
All right, more coming up.
Speaker 6 (08:30):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock
and then after four o'clock. Whatever you miss you get
on the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app. All right, this is a really peculiar rabbit
hole that I went down regarding Gavin Newsom. One of
the stories we brought to you was that a City
(08:57):
journal one of their writers christ for RUFO, and this
is also with Charles Layman. They had written a piece
that on the riots broke out on Friday, June the sixth.
In the afternoon Saturday June seventh, the writing intensified, and
(09:18):
by that evening Trump announced he's bringing in the National Guard.
Part of the justification was Newsom and Karen Bass weren't
doing anything about the riots. And the question it has
been is like, why does Newsom and Bass let these
things get out of hand? And then RUFO and Layman
(09:39):
discovered that the Saturday after the riots broke out, just
a few hours before Trump set in the National Guard,
Newsom was hosting a wine tasting party in Napa Valley.
It was a fundraiser for the Pump Jack Foundation, And
(10:01):
there's a picture of him talking to a blonde holding
on to a goblet of wine, a red wine, wearing
a T shirt and a baseball cap, and it looks
like the completion of the trilogy. First we had him
drinking at the French laundry while he had locked down
(10:24):
the rest of the state, ruined all those businesses, locked
children out of their schools, ruining their childhoods. And he
was busy, busy drinking and eating at one of the
most expensive restaurants in California. Part two of the trilogy
was carried Bass told by the National Weather Service many
(10:45):
many times, Hey, major firestorm risk. She goes off to
Ghana in Africa, new President's being inaugurated, and while the
fire was raised in the Palisades, she was drinking at
the cocktail party honoring the President of Ghana. So, when
(11:11):
we were all locked down and people were diving of
dying of COVID, Newsom was drinking and attending a private party,
violating all the COVID rules. The Palisades were burning and
people were dying, Bass was drinking at a private party
in Africa. And now Flora, now Los Angeles is rioting,
(11:36):
cars are burning police are getting stoned, their cars are
getting hit with concrete blocks, fires are breaking out. Way
Moo's ablaze. There he is again enjoying the good life.
And it's it's how they live because they don't care.
(12:00):
You may want, You may have this childish fantasy that
they care. You may be emotionally invested in them. You really,
I would tell you to seek help, but I don't.
I don't think there is any help for that. You know,
if you're a grown adult and you have an emotional
investment and you think a politician cares about you, Okay,
that's what you want to believe. That's a nice little
(12:22):
fairy tale. Well Newsom's Newsom's press office went per Zerk,
writing to Christopher Rufo, the journalist who broke this, you
have no shame disgusting this live fielled report about an
(12:42):
annual cancer research fundraiser hosted in honor of the governor's
dead mother, who died of breast cancer.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Well, I went back to the original story and it said.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Spokesperson for the governor said Newsom had proudly attended the event,
which was intended to raise funds for the UCS SEF
Cancer Center in honor of his mother, who died of
breast cancer, so it was mentioned that they quoted the
governor's spokesperson. The point was whether it was a cancer
(13:14):
fundraiser or not. Newsom was nowhere near Los Angeles when
the riots happened and did not gather the National Guard
to try to stop them, to help out LAPD, which
was getting attacked. LAPD said they were overwhelmed. And again
(13:35):
he's caught drinking expensive wine. So I start went on
the internet. This is how I fell into this rabbit
hole learn some things. Either I didn't know or I'm
getting Biden dimension. I don't remember. I started, you know,
just typing in Gavin Newsom, his mother, breast cancer, wine,
(13:59):
all the stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
And it turns out.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
On October twenty ninth of twenty eighteen in the New Yorker,
Newsom was just days away from getting elected governor for
the first time, and they did a peace on him,
which was somewhat unflattering. And this came out just days
before the election. Of course, the election was pretty much
a done deal. I don't know if there's got a
(14:24):
lot of publicity. I just simply don't remember this, and
I doubt local media picked up on this, but the
story was that Newsom helped out his mother to what's
the phrase, if we.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Can't die, die by suicide, to die by suicide.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
And I'm seeing this headline because the National Review that
week had picked up on the New Yorker story and
it wrote that Gavin Newsom helped mother's assisted suicide, and
they excerpted this piece. Newsom's sister Hillary said that when
(15:09):
their mother had breast cancer in her fifties, he Newsom
was difficult to reach. This is Newsom's sister I quote,
Kevin had trouble explaining to me how hard for him
it was to be with her when she was dying,
And I had trouble explaining to him how much I
needed him back then. He's back then he seemed like
the kind of guy who had never change a diaper.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You know what.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
That's code for incredibly selfish and narcissistic. In May twenty
two and May of two thousand and two, his mother
decided to end her life through assisted suicide. Newsom recalled
she left me a message because I was too busy.
This is the voicemail message, hope you're well. Next Wednesday
will be the last day for me. Hope you can
(15:55):
make it. This is how isolated he was from his mother.
I saved the cassette with the message on it. That's
how sick I am, said Newsom. He crossed his arms
and jammed his hands into his armpits. This is out
of the New Yorker. I have PTSD and this is
bringing it all back. The night before we gave her
the drugs, I cooked her dinner hard boiled eggs, and
(16:17):
she told me get out of politics. She was worried
about the stress on me. And in California at the time,
assisted suicide was a felony in two thousand and two,
and Newsom was a member of the San Francisco Board
of Supervisors, and as Wesley Smith writes in The National Review,
(16:39):
he was sworn.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
To uphold the law.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
But she died in San Francisco, and he assisted with
the suicide at a time when that was a felony,
and she had to shame him to come back and.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Be there. And I only.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Found this because his press office got so snarky about
being called out on attending the party and then getting
angry with reporters who started publicizing it.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
It's a weird story, isn't it you're listening to John
Cobels on demand from KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
We are here every day from one until four o'clock.
After four o'clock John Cobot Show on demand on the
iHeart app, and you could hear what you missed. Susan
Shelley writes terrific columns a southern California news group like
the La Daily News, Orange County Register, and all the
suburban papers in the area. And also it's published in
(17:46):
many other places, such as this week The New York Post,
where she explained to a lot of East Coast readers
that hell is going on in Los Angeles and about
the Ice Rice riots, showing decades of California's political decay.
Let's get Susan Shelley on here.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
How are you, Susan, I'm good, John, Thank you for
having me.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
A really good column.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Buss, thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
One of my favorite parts of it early on is
when you note that in the lawsuit that Trump lawyers
filed in San Francisco in the first round of this
debate over who controls the National Guard, they detailed what
the protesters did. They threw rocks, bottles, chunks of concrete,
(18:35):
exploding mortar style fireworks at the police, setting cars on fire,
molotov cocktails, shutting down the one to one freeway, ramming
dumpsters into walls of buildings. And you note that most
members of the city council issued a joint statement we
condemned this and no uncertain terms. But they weren't condemning
the rioters and all those actions they were condemning one four.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yes, this is their view that law enforcement causes violence
and lawlessness. And how are they twisting themselves into pretzels
like this? As you pointed out, they always try to
blur the line between legal immigration and legal immigration. They're
always trying to erase crime, as if it's not happening.
Everyone's just going to the stores and ransacking the shelves,
(19:23):
and now there's plexiglass and locks everywhere. But it's not
a problem. And the elected officials have this view that
nothing is a crime unless some business puts up a
sign or fails to put up the right labor poster,
then they come after them with handcuffs. But in general,
this lawlessness, closing the state prisons, their whole attitude is
(19:44):
it's not a problem, and now they're trying to stop
federal law enforcement. And they're trying to say, as a
Melda Padilla on the city said to the police chief,
can't you just warn us when the federal officials are
on the way and let us warn our community. The
police chief I said, yeah, we can't do that. What
(20:05):
stunned by that?
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Asking the police chiefs to warn everyone that federal law
enforcement was coming.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
In right, And their position is that the federal government,
the president has no right to enforce federal law in
Los Angeles. And Meldepedia even said, out of your loyalty
to Los Angeles, won't you do this as if Los
Angeles is a separate country from the United States. Well,
it's not, and there are plenty of voters who don't
think it is or should be, And so this is
(20:33):
a really interesting political thing. I think what's going on
is this is all about the congressional races in twenty
twenty six, because I looked it up and there are
nine races that were decided well won by less than
fifty four percent of the vote, and there were six
of those nine that were so close that they were
one with fifty two percent or less. So George Whiteside's
(20:56):
in La County and Ken Calvert, who's a Republican in
County three Democrats Derek Tran, Dave min and Mike Levin
in Orange County and San Diego County, and these are
very close. So how big a deal is it if
the Latino vote moves a little bit toward the Democrats
when we just saw the President Trump move the Latino
(21:17):
vote quite a bit toward the Republicans. I think that's
mostly what this is about.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Well, he's getting a majority of mail Latino votes now
and even overall he's up to forty five percent in
the last election. So I don't know how supporting chaos
and riots, I mean, they act like Hispanic families are
different than white or black families. Nobody wants the chaos
(21:42):
and the riots has nothing to do with Colera ethnicity.
So I don't know how trying to pander to pander
them to violent illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
I don't know how that helps the cause.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
But if you listen to what they're saying. Maxine Waters
went and stood in front of a federal building and
said that the National Guard was there with guns. She
was sure they had orders to shoot to kill. And
then she said, I don't know but why else would
they have guns. Well, they might have guns to protect
themselves against crazed rioters ramming dumpsters at them. That might
be one thing. But it's such a fearmongering, racially tinged
(22:17):
kind of call to arms that these Democrats are making
on the streets that I really think they're trying to
They're trying to racially divide the vote, and I think
you're right, it won't work because nobody wants chaos, and
there's a big distinction between criminals and immigrants. This is
a crazy This is a crazy thing that they're trying
(22:38):
to do. But I don't think they have anything else
to run on in twenty twenty six, and I think
this is their this is their game.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No, but it's really gotten insane. It's it's inexplicable. Where
do these views come from? I mean, they go ahead.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
They may come from the Union ties. For example, if
we do immigration enforcement in California, guess what happens to
school attendance. According to the Migration Policy Institute, about fifteen
percent of the five point eight million students in California
public schools grades K through twelve or TK through twelve,
(23:14):
about fifteen percent are either undocumented themselves or have at
least one undocumented parent. So if they drop out of
school out of fear or if they're deported out of policy,
then what happens to school funding, which is based on attendance?
And then what happens to the teachers' union jobs? So
that might be one factor. And another factor we have
one point four million undocumented immigrant adults on medical because
(23:38):
they've expanded medical to all undocumented residents who are low income,
so they are if they're leaving the state, then what
happens to all the new healthcare jobs the SEIU represents.
Maybe it's that, maybe it's the unions and the congressional
races that are behind this craziness that they're twisting themselves
into pretels to oppose lawnch enforcement craziness.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
I saw yesterday that fifty eight percent of Californians are
against giving any illegal alien health.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Care tax money shuld vote for office?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah well yeah, what I'm saying is that is there
at any point a backlash when it comes to voting?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
At any point do people flip?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Well, now you read another question, what's going on with
our elections and why are our elected officials so solicitous
of the illegal immigrants? Is it because there's voting involved?
Now there's no evidence, but then you're not allowed to
collect an the evidence, so there's never going to be
any evidence.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
I know.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
The Times just ran a story today about you know,
false claims, you know that Trump makes about illegal aliens
voting and nobody has any evidence. I just cannot believe.
I cannot believe, especially with ballot harvesting and mail in
balloting and the way the vote goes in California against all,
(24:55):
against all reason, that there isn't something funky going on.
I just can't believe it because why would people keep
voting for this?
Speaker 3 (25:03):
Well, you raise the exact point. We have ballot harvesting.
We have seven days to deliver ballots that must be
processed seven days after the election. They do not need
a postmark. They're supposed to be marked by the end
of election day. But all that has to happen is
the voter has to write the date on the envelope
and then they have to accept it. So it's just
(25:24):
wide open for fraud.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Right, These laws must have been created for fraud. Why
wouldn't you commit fraud if you were the political party
and you have a supermajority, Why wouldn't you commit fraud?
Because if they don't have to put a postmark, if
it can be coming in seven days after the election,
and then you got all this wacky ballot harvesting going on.
I mean, I don't understand are people not paying attention
(25:48):
to this extent? I mean they see Los Angeles blowing up,
they saw the fires. What what do you need to
see before you say, hey, I'm voting for somebody else.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
We really have to clean up the elections. That's the
first thing that has to happen. Honestly, if Mayor Richard J.
Dally in Chicago had had this system, he would still
be mayor and he's been dead since the nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
All right, Susan Shelley, thank you for coming on with us.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Thank you all right, And.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
You can see her a piece in the New York
Post to why LA's ice riots revealed decades of California's
political decay.
Speaker 6 (26:25):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
John Cobelt's show Live Everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. I
just have a short time. I saw this story and
it got to me. It's one thing that really irritates me,
almost as much as the zombies walking around staring at
their phones, walking along the sidewalks, walking in the street,
(26:55):
utterly oblivious to what's going on.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Air pods.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
People have their AirPods stuck in their ears all the time. Yes,
and and and they walk in the streets nobody, Nobody
looks when they cross the street.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
What about here outside of our parking lot.
Speaker 5 (27:14):
I can't tell you how many people are either on
their phones or they have those air pods.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
And there's there's something mean inside me that I.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
Just you want to gut in the engine. Yeah I
did too.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
I wouldn't ever, but I wanted to. I want to
scream out my window.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Look up.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
I've made left turns, and suddenly somebody out of nowhere
ends up walking in front of me as a pedestrian.
And it's because they have earphones or you know, they're
on their phones scrolling, reading text or something. And I
give them the biggest honk imaginable and I make them shake,
I make them like throw their.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Arms up in the air and freeze.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
And then I now yell at him sometimes get off
your phone, just.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Really really shag it.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
Makes me crazy because I can't stand zombies, addicted zombies,
whether whether it's you know, the drug addicts that litter
the place or these these iPhone airpad zombies. Apparently people
are showing up, well, they have them at work all day, right,
and they're showing up at a doctor's appointments. There's a
(28:22):
doctor Dan Weazel. This is in Saint Louis Wall Street
Journal story. He's noticed more patients keep their earbuds in
even after he walks into the exam room. And his
initial reaction is that's rude. They don't even want to
give him attention. He's trying to diagnose their disease.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
And I walk right out.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
I say, okay, you don't want to know what's going on, Okay.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Just die from it, right, And he says he tries
to be I love this try. Maybe there's a good
reason for it, you know, Maybe it's a hearing aid that's
not a hearing aid. Maybe they are autistic and the
earbuds control sensory overload. No, no, no, your first impulse was correct.
They're not autistic and they don't have a hearing problem.
(29:04):
They're they're they're they're idiots, and they're either listening to
music or listening to a podcast. Of course you were
listening to the art podcast.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
I was going to say, if you're listening to the
John Coe Belt show, that's okay.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
We'll make an exception.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And you know, one guy says, well, you know, my
AirPods are off, but if someone calls, I can answer
right away. It's like, oh cares, you can answer right away.
You know most of the time my phone rings. I
look and I'm not answering that.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Well, it depends on who it is.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, exactly a lot of people I don't want to
hear from ever.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
One guy.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
One guy went through the drive through line at a
fast food joint and he looked into his bag of
food and somebody these air pods were in there.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
They've fallen him. They've fallen out of their dirty.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Ears with all the earwat Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Into the bag of foods. It's now listen to this
and this kind of this kind of annoyed me too.
Walmart has a dress code and if you're dealing with customers,
you're not supposed to wear earbuds. But according to one
human resource person, they give it up trying to enforce
(30:19):
rules like that. There's a growing number of people who
treat their air pods as permanent facial features. It's like
another sensory organ. They got their ears, their nose, their mouth,
and the AirPod.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
When I first saw those, I thought it was some
kind of weird I don't even know what until I
realized what they were.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, and I'm still startled by people who have a
talk on ear pods on a phone call because I'm
so attuned to crazy homeless people. I'm so terrified by
them that when I see an adult coming and I
see his mouth moving and I could hear his voice,
I'm thinking, Oh, almost wacko, he's going to slip my
throat I do.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I jump. I'm starting to go crazy, I know.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
According to this human resources person, she said, honestly, we
stopped trying to make rules for people way back in
twenty twenty one. We're just grateful the guy wears pants.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
Well, that's yeah, I get it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
That's what it's come down to. You were in pants,
you're hired.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
We are de evolving, if that's a kind we are,
We really are de evolving. Now here's an update from
