No.
Speaker 6 (00:13):
John is really into these fetishes, so you don't want
to miss what they are.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
We had we had a good fetish segment. Well, not
a good one. It ended up in a guys very sad.
It was involved saran wrap and duct tape.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
And conjugal visit. That was another one.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
That was another one.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yes, somebody got killed.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's been a filthy, dirty program, really have. So if
you miss it.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
iHeartRadio app John Cobelt Show on demand the podcast. All right,
let's get two rounds of the moistline coming up, and
we're going to talk now with State Senator Tony Strickland.
He's a Republican from Huntington Beach. He had this idea,
and I know this may shock you. I just sometimes
wonder sometimes I wish I could do an instant poll
of like ten thousand people right now who thinks that
(01:00):
instead of lowering gas prices, we should spend money on
high speed rail. For another year, because that was the
gist of Tony Strickland's bill, Let's not fund high speed
rail and instead use the money to lower gas prices.
And the Democrats, you know, they're for the working people,
(01:21):
they said no, no, lower gas prices, and yes, keep
the high speed rail scam going. At Tony Strickland on
state Senator from Huntington Beach, Tony, how are.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
You acid, John? How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I'm all right, Well, this was a pretty shocking, outrageous
radical plan that you proposed here to the legislature.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, I wish you did have instant point.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I bet almost every one of your listeners would be
on our side because it's not a Democratic Republican that's
common sense.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, this shouldn't be a political issue.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
You know, this train that they sold to the people
of California at the beginning was supposed to be thirty
three billion. They've already spent one hundred and twenty eight
billion and they haven't even laid down a track yet.
This is the most wasteful public project in American history.
And at the same time, they're going to keep spending
billions on the high Steed rail while Gavin Newsom and
(02:19):
the super majority have raised our gas prices, our gas
tax the last four years in a row. And people
are struggling, you know, trying to make ends me paycheck
to paycheck, and these folks just keep raising prices, and
these gas.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Taxes falls disproportionately on hard.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Working families that are just trying to make it. And
I always say, people in California's gonna have to decide
between a gallon of milk and a gallon of gas.
This is a no brainer. This is commonstance. But that's
something that's wrong with the legislature in Gavin Newsom. They
have no common sense to average working people of California.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Usually politicians around the rest of the country pandered to
their constituents right to give them some kind of some.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Kind of break, like do things that they like, Yeah, right, you.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Know to a certain extent, you know, something to brag about,
something to bring up at all. Hey, you know I
lowered your gas prices this year. That was my bill
that I was the deciding vote. They don't even try
to do that, not even for a few months, not
even for the rest of the year. Talk about the
specifics of your bill, exactly what were you proposing?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
This is a simple proposal. It's very it's very It's
like one sentence. It says the legislature to define.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Define the high speed rail and use the.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Funds instead to reduce the state gasoling a tax. That's
pretty much all it says.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
That's all it is, and that's all it is, And
for me, I wanted to make it as simplistic as possible.
End of the day, everybody knows, uh, include the Democrats
in the in the legislature. Everybody knows that this this
train will not be built, especially the one that they
sold to the people California that it's going to go
from San Francisco, La. They already know it's not gonna
(04:02):
be built. They've already spent one hundred again, one hundred
and twenty eight billion dollars. I'm glad the federal government
has kind of come in and audit this. I want
to see what consultants made a whole bunch of.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Money on this. But how do you spend one hundred
and twenty eight billion dollars and not lay down one track?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
The only thing that explains this is corruption. I cannot
think of another explanation because they're not that stupid. So
it's got to be they're they're that corrupt, and and
and they're getting paid off.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
And again I say this, this has to be the
most wasteful public project in American history, not even close.
And again, these these these legislators and and Gavin Newsom
are tone deaf on what high gas prices mean to
average people in California. You know this, this this notion
(04:50):
that they're going to get people out of their cars. Well,
we need our cars to get back and forth to work.
It's always like it, always think we govin New some
specific he always wants something for other people, not for himself.
It's just like you know, when we had the COVID,
he sent his kids in person school, but he didn't
want ours. He actually went to have dinner at French laundry,
(05:12):
but we can go out to eat. And now he
wants to be able to drive, but you know, wants
to make it really difficult for every everyday working people
to be able to make ends meat and drive back
and forth to work. These high gas prices. Go go look,
go look and have your listeners. She would have cost
our gallon gas in Texas, Florida, Idaho, and then look
(05:33):
what it costs here it's and those are all high
gas taxes that the state puts down on the people
of California.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
You know, I talk about this all the time on
the air. In fact, I'm calling it right now, the
state by state gas prices. You go to the Triple
A site, it's gasprices dot AAA dot com. So in California,
as of today, we're paying four sixty five a gallon.
In Mississippi, they're paying two sixty six. It's almost exactly
(06:05):
two dollars difference. And Mississippi is not that much of
an outlier. There's twenty four states that's selling gas for
less than three dollars, and there's forty two states selling
gas for less than three in a quarter, and we're
at four sixty five.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Absolutely, and we're losing population. John, I mean, think about this.
This is what I always say. We live in an oasis.
Your promo came on to talk about how beautiful the
weather is here in California. Right now, people are leaving
the state of California, in the most beautiful place to
live in the world, and they're going to the desert
(06:43):
of Arizona, Nevada. They're going to the humidity of Texas
and Florida and they're going to the cold up in Idaho.
Because of the policies of Gavin Newsom and the supermajority,
people are leaving in droves. It's the first time.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Since the Gold Rush in California.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
We're losing more a lot population that we're taken in
in the census. Already said we've probably lose the three
to four congressional seats after these next ten years because
people are leaving the state and droves, and businesses are
leaving the state because of overregulation and these policies from Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, what would it take for them to vote differently?
Because all my experience in life tells me that excessively
high gas prices usually ruins political careers. And now we're
two bucks higher than some East Coast and southern states,
two bucks per gallon higher, and we got in the
(07:37):
sixty five cent a gallon gas tax increase coming.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
And you know, I, you know, I thought we were
already beyond the tipping point, to be honest, John, I mean,
but I also think, you know, people are starting to
wake up. You're seeing more and more you know, movement.
And I don't necessarily say that, Hey, they all go
to the Republicans because all the Plicans offer a bright vision.
We need more leaders that will offer a vision that
(08:05):
really resonate with hard working people throughout there.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You know, that's the thing with gas prices. I'm looking
at the list of states. There are plenty of heavily
Democratic states who have gas prices far lower than ours.
I mean, New York is three dollars and ten cents,
Connecticut is three dollars on the nose there, Massachusetts two
(08:28):
ninety five, New Jersey to ninety four, Virginia two ninety four.
These are solidly Democratic states, and they're offering gas for
less than three bucks.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So it's not it's not a political thing, it's not.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
What No, it's it's they just again, they're out of touch.
They keep raising this gas tax every year, and Gavin
news is raising every year. At some point, I'm hoping
that people wake up and see who they're putting in
these offices, in these elective positions. I'm asking you, know,
(09:04):
your listeners, if they're please call Governor Newsom's office, Please
call your senator, call your assembly member, and say, hey, look,
support this simple proposal. This is not a Republican proposal.
This is a common sense proposal. And if you don't,
you know, then we'll see you in November next year.
You know, at the end of the day, we have
to hold these elected officials accountable.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
All right, Tony Strickland, who you just you just took
over this seat. You had a special election February twenty fifth,
and it was.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
My first week back. This is my first week back.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
But you know what's interesting, John, is my last.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Vote I was in the Senate before. I don't know
if you know my background, but I was in the Senate.
In my last vote in twenty twelve was voting no
on the High Street rail And in fact I had
I had the privilege because my last day to bring
my five year old son and he was sitting right
next to me and we called him tiny Tony, and
I said, my son, one day I'm going to take
(10:00):
to college, and he's going to ask dad, why is
there a train from the middle of nowhere in central Valley,
this small city to another small city while he's going
to college. And it's because of the you know, everybody
knew at that time the thirty three billion dollars going
to get it done, and they sold a bill goods
to the people of California. And I said, he's going
(10:21):
to be going, I'm going to be dropping him off
in college and he's going to ask that question he's
a junior in high school today or a year away.
There you go prothetic And the.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
First speech I gave coming back to the.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
State Senate was this proposal. And I'm going to fight
hard because this is a common sense that you, Tony,
that please come back, get done.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I got to do the news, but please come back
on anytime you've got anything like this and we can
further discuss because we got to keep hammering on this,
Tony strictly State Center from Huntington Beach, thank you for
coming on.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It is time for the award winning. Have we won
an award?
Speaker 9 (11:03):
No, we have not.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I don't think we ever will.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
For this all right, well, hey, look if Gavin Newsom
can puff himself up, so can I. The award winning
Voiceline Sean.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Thanks for calling a moistline. I'm so excited to hear
from you. About time.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
After listening to the Kamala Harris Dorito's speech I'm just
astylished seventy five million Americans voted for her to be president.
Speaker 10 (11:29):
Democrats loved electric cars and climate change. They're musk be
a reason why they are attacking Tesla leaderships.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
The Nile is still a river in Africa and now
goes through Ghana.
Speaker 11 (11:41):
The Democrats have all become tribal socialist tribes of divide
and conquer Das's.
Speaker 12 (11:48):
Two forty eight and Helton that Island.
Speaker 13 (11:50):
South Carolina addicts are the prison system's number one customer,
So it's probably not profitable for California to invest in
Top thirty six because then nobody would be showing up
to the prisons system.
Speaker 14 (12:05):
The people in Palisades and Eaten are the true homeless.
The people that are under the bridges are simply squatters
and trespassers.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
The worst thing about the California Progressive voters are they
don't realize they're voting patterns or the reason everything sucks
all around them all.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
This is Bill from the National Transportation Safety Board.
Speaker 11 (12:30):
This message is for Deborah Mark.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Deborah, we are going to need you to disclose.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Your future travel plans with us so we can make
some adjustments and plan accordingly and make sure we have
staffing in those areas.
Speaker 12 (12:44):
I live in Paradise and escaped the campfire, and a
few weeks after I somehow I listen to the nine
to one to one calls that we're coming out of
Paradise and some of the most disturbing things you'll ever
hear of people calling asking for help, saying everything's on fire,
and the operators just saying we have no one to
send you do what you can. It's pretty horrific.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Cruso not getting behind this whole bath recall, and I
kind of agree with him because it's bogus.
Speaker 15 (13:13):
We saw what happened with Newsomm and Gascon. It's rigged,
and I agree it's.
Speaker 16 (13:18):
Going to cost too much money, and there's all these
bogus rules that they put in there.
Speaker 17 (13:22):
The reason why the LA politicians keep the homeless around
is because the demour At party uses them for water harvesting.
Speaker 16 (13:30):
My favorite slogan now is we don't have a revenue problem.
Speaker 15 (13:35):
We have a spending problem.
Speaker 13 (13:37):
And that's the problem in LA and all across the country.
Speaker 16 (13:41):
Hey Newsome, why don't you get that nine billion dollars
from the thirty billion you lost?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
How about that?
Speaker 13 (13:48):
But a piece of I paid per.
Speaker 16 (13:50):
Month for two kids eight hundred and twenty seven dollars
a month.
Speaker 15 (13:54):
For health insurance.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
I need the legles get it for free.
Speaker 13 (13:58):
What's the going on?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Maybe we need a class action suit by every citizen in.
Speaker 10 (14:03):
California for stealing medical My house.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Burned down in the Eaton fire.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
I'm making a sign.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
For my car that says, kill the bullet train, bury
the lines.
Speaker 12 (14:13):
If Newsom wouldn't have flushed money down the toilets and.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Had been a real leader, I might have my house.
Speaker 18 (14:18):
Do you think Gavin Lisson would have the courage in
the base.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
The lion down Coba money his podcast?
Speaker 18 (14:25):
Oh, that would be much the podcast.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
I would love it.
Speaker 16 (14:28):
I don't think Trump should end secret service for Biden
and his wife, but his adult children. Yeah, I'm not
paying secret service detail for non former presidents.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
His kids can get their.
Speaker 16 (14:44):
Own Walmart security guards.
Speaker 19 (14:46):
Why are people putting administrators and teachers and kids in
these situations to begin with? In the first place, it's
the situation that's the problem. People were put in. The
situation is that like administrators in the schools and the
teachers all that who are like yay, put me in
the situation I'm telling you they didn't want to go
(15:07):
to school and be put in the situation.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
This is not what they.
Speaker 19 (15:10):
Signed up for.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
John, You're not a positive person. You scream in the
l constantly.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
It's so nice to have confirmation of what so many
of us have known for so long.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Gavin Newsom is a bust.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
If anybody should be recalled, it needs to be the
La City attorney.
Speaker 15 (15:29):
She doesn't go to court to defend the city.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
She just simply settles.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
I like this.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Gavin Newsom is a bust, and I am a positive person.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yes, John is very positive.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm a cheery guys.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He really, oh, very Yes, this is my therapy.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, and I'm not going to be talking about my
travel plans. I'm sorry, I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
I'm hoping that I'm actually going to go to the
places that I want to go.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Because that country, the countries would revoke visas.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, now, no, I can't. I can't disclose it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Never let her in.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I have bad travel karma.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
All right, we got.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Round two of the moistline coming up in a few minutes,
but coming after Debra's news, we're going to tell you
about the other gas tax proposal that was killed by
the Democrats. This would have blocked the sixty five cent
a gallon price increase which is coming sixty five cent
(16:32):
a gallon. We told you about that a few months ago.
It's still happening, and there was a chance for the
legislature to stop it, and two Democrats abstained from voting
in order to block it. They're both locals, one in Burbank,
one in Pasadena, just right here in Burbank, down the highway,
(16:53):
and I think they ought to be highlighted not only
for their their bad policy, but their cowardice they wouldn't
even vote when they had a chance to block it.
I'll explain all this when we returned, but it means
sixty five cents a gallon sometime this year.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
We have another round of the Moistline coming up in moments.
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobelt Radio. Earlier in the show, well,
we hit on gas prices twice because there were two bills,
two of them. If you didn't hear that would have
lowered gas prices. And one of them we just talked
(17:40):
about with Tony Strickland, the state senator from Huntington Beach.
His idea, which he presented to the Senate and they
shot it down, was why don't we defund high speed
rail and use the money to.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Reduce gas taxes? How about that.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Used the money to reduce gas taxes in the state,
and the Democrats said no. Idea Number two, this is
by Senate Leader Brian Jones, Republican of San Diego, said
how about we block the California Air Resources Board sixty
five cent gas tax increase which is coming soon. I
(18:22):
warned you about this several months ago during the fall.
It was the first week of November, right after election day,
I think three days after election day they voted a
sixty five cent gas tax increase. Hasn't taken effect yet.
It's disguised as a low carbon fuel standard, basically forcing
(18:48):
oil and gas companies to come up with a new
formula which immediately raises the gas tax sixty five cents.
So they Sentate BILLB but Brian Jones says, well, let
me just block it. Just drop those regulations, just keep
the gas as is, the oil as is, Keep the
gas prices as it's which, by the way, the gas prices,
(19:10):
and I'm keeping the chart in front of me here
just so you know this. I want you to feel
this every time you fill up. It's four sixty five
a gallon on average in California. In Mississippi it's two
sixty six. And we had a guy calling on the
moistline right from South Carolina two forty eight.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
It's just not fair.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Two forty eight and we're paying four sixty five.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Katie Grimes from California Globe said she paid five point
fifteen for gas in Sacramento. There are many areas that
are over five bucks, so it's simple. Brian Jones has
a bill. It would block the California Air Resources Board regulations.
We would end up not increasing gas price is by
(20:00):
sixty five cents because if that goes into effect now
we're paying five thirty five as an average. It went
before a committee and it actually got three votes to
block the regulations. It was three to two, but it's
(20:21):
a nine member committee, so you need five yes votes
to block the gas increase. They got three. Suzette Martinez
Valderis Republican Megan Dolly, Republican, and a Democrat, Melissa Hurtado,
also voted to block the gas tex increase.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Why would anybody not want to block the gas increase.
That's what I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Well, State Senator Lena Gonzalez from Long Beach, you people
in Long Beach, you got a lunatic there. She voted
to continue the gas increase. And Steve Badia from Chiullavisa
also voted to continue the gas tax increase. So it's
three to two. The good guys are winning. And there
were three yet to vote and they all abstained. And
(21:13):
if you have a nine member committee, you need five.
Well two of them are local, two state senators. One
is Caroline Menjivar of Burbank, the other is Sasha Perez
of Pasadena, both Democrats. Had they voted yes, then it
(21:36):
would have blocked the gas tax. Well, the bill would
have gone on at a committee. But this was the
first hurdle, This was the first leg and if they
had voted yes, it would have moved on to the
next round, another committee or maybe the full Senate, the Assembly.
You know, it's all rigmarole. But Caroline Menjivar and Sasha
(21:58):
Perez are afraid to vote in favor of the gas tax,
and they're also afraid to vote against the gas tax,
so they abstain.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
But what I don't understand is nobody really wants these
high prices. So what are you afraid of?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I don't know. This is the only thing I could
and I've said this one hundred times. This is like
some kind of cult, some kind of religious fanaticism. Why
are they hell bent on driving the price of gas up?
They'll tell you it's about the climate. This has no
effect on the climate. The climate is global, worldwide, and
you could see, Oh Trump announced the other day we're
(22:42):
going to start firing up cold plants again.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But we're doing that.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
There's nothing about our policy that has any this guy
have any.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Effect on the climate.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
But the gas prices are lower all over the place, right,
So if climate is the issue, well then it's all
over the place. How come they other states can have
cheaper gas than us.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Because we have fanatics. They're mentally ill. The people in
the legislature are mentally ill. Most of the public does
not want high speed rail anymore. Nobody wants to be
paying four sixty five five bucks a gallon for gas.
How do the people And like I said, this is
not a political issue. None of this is political. In
(23:26):
the high speed rail case, it's about bribery. It's about
unions bribing public officials, including Newsom, in order to keep
the make work fake jobs that they have building high
speed rail. When it comes to the gas prices, I'm
looking at hardcore Democratic.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
States such as New York.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Here we have New Jersey is two ninety four a gallon.
Massachusetts that's the most left wing state in the nation
two ninety five, Virginia two ninety four, New York is
three ten, Minnesota is three twelve. The district of Columbia,
which went like ninety five percent Democratic in the election,
(24:13):
is only three twenty.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So it's it's it's not a political thing. It's just California.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It's the mental illness of the people in the legislature
are in this climate cult. So Caroline Menjivar and Sasha Perez,
I'd contact them.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You could look up the men Javar spelled M. E. N.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Jivar, Democrat from Burbank, Sasha Perez Democrat, Pasadena. If they
had voted yes to block the gas tax, then it
would have left the committee, and they didn't and they
were they were cowardly.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
They wouldn't even they wouldn't even vote. They were there,
they just abstained.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I hate that that should be allowed. So we've got
the highest gas prices in the nation, we have the
highest energy prices, we have the highest electricity and now
they're going to add another sixty five cents. And they
were given two deals here, two deals. Stop the sixty
five cent increase which is coming sometime this year. And
(25:18):
Tony Strickland's bill, how about we defund high speed rail
and put the savings towards lowering the gas tax. Democrats
said no to all this. I don't understand. Is there
a single person out there that wants high speed rail built,
wants to pay higher gas taxes, and.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Wants this sixty five cent separate increase? Anybody?
Speaker 6 (25:46):
I think you need to get the bullhorn out again,
and you need to go pay a visit to people.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, well find out where Caroline Menjabbar is. She must
be nearby. She represents Burbank, Sasha Perez represents Pasadena. They
deserve a good bull they do.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
We are now going to do round two of the moistline.
Speaker 16 (26:12):
Hey, Sean, thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I'm so excited to hear from you.
Speaker 13 (26:16):
To map time, I gave up.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I called my stockbroker.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
I said, enough with the view, enough with Jimmy kimmelf
fell all my Disney agency stock.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Just sell it all.
Speaker 14 (26:26):
I'm not supporting that organization anymore.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Maybe Karen Vashi started playing off the Democrats only, but.
Speaker 15 (26:33):
Those are the boss that quoted or is you need
to cut expenses, like Denise Scenonios. It doesn't know what
to do with a fire hose and how to put
it in a hole and fill it up.
Speaker 11 (26:43):
I think we should have a co advocate.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You for governor seemed to be at a fact choice.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Well, you know what I think, all these fools in government,
we should just cut their paychecks until they fix the
thing problems.
Speaker 20 (26:56):
There will be a sense of urgency at vent rate
where they can't.
Speaker 18 (26:59):
Afford their loudest trips than jocks. You know, at the
end of the day, California is getting what it deserves.
People vote for these people and this is the outcome.
Speaker 17 (27:10):
No one has a problem running about these criminals. This
and that no one cares. Everyone wants them all gone.
But how do you know those are all actual criminals,
part of the Venezuelan game. We're all here illegally. That
is why we have something called the do process of law.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That's all we're saying.
Speaker 17 (27:27):
Get rid of the criminals, yay, but do it legally
and correctly.
Speaker 20 (27:30):
Florida sounds great, so you get hit with the humidity.
Speaker 13 (27:33):
I've lived there.
Speaker 16 (27:34):
It's oppressive.
Speaker 20 (27:36):
I beg the different. It's not the high cost of living.
It's driving the people out of California. It's the polity
and your government. Plenty of people can't afford to state California.
I could easily have stayed in California Afflorida un it,
but I took my wealth with me.
Speaker 13 (27:51):
Out of the state to Tennessee. If you go to
the mom Museum in Las Vegas, you'll find a section dedicated.
Speaker 18 (27:58):
To the La City Council and mayor.
Speaker 15 (28:01):
Bas because they're the new Bafia.
Speaker 17 (28:03):
I just called both my state representatives, Stern and Shaverro,
and you know what.
Speaker 13 (28:09):
I asked them, Well, why don't you want cheaper gas prices?
Speaker 15 (28:13):
And nobody could give me an answer.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
I saw a picture of all the people who are
dandalizing all the Tesla places and cars, all that hair
color that they've got in their hairs. What must be
affecting their brains.
Speaker 18 (28:28):
To make them do such stupid stuff?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
They look and act just as stupid.
Speaker 18 (28:34):
I don't understand Democrats. Kamala Harris goes twenty million dollars
in debt. Couldn't even manage your own campaign. Kavin Newsom
has gone billions in debt with his budget because he
wants to get money.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
To the homeless.
Speaker 18 (28:47):
Excuse me, anything but the homeless. He wants to get
money to all of that illegal aliens coming over well
and the homeless. Also, what's going on, guys? I think
we need to have a recall and get rid again
this them a did. President Trump was crucified because the
Democrats said he didn't do enough to discourage January sixth riots.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
You heard a.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Single Democratic politician condemn and try to rein in their
followers with regard to the Tesla vandalism and Arson program.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I didn't think so.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
People in California are dumb as a post. That's why
the guests precesses are high. That's why the governor stills there.
That's why the mayor is still there. Everybody needs to
get a grip.
Speaker 12 (29:29):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up goodbye.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
That's the moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six for
next week.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Tim Conway, Hey, now we.
Speaker 21 (29:40):
Got the post office. Big changes of the post office.
John going to start delivering mail. Yeah, they're going to
start on Monday. And then Alex Michaelson's coming on. Stu Maundell.
He's the pilot for Fox eleven, that morning show.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
He's being at night. We used to have them on
all the time.
Speaker 21 (29:55):
Then he went to the morning so I never hear
from any more.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Bob. We'll we talk about a lot of you know.
Speaker 21 (30:00):
Old buildings and old sort of you know la landmarks
have been burning up and going away.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I don't know what's going on. And then Petros is
coming on.
Speaker 21 (30:10):
They're still talking about that Dallas Lakers trade as being
the worst trade in the history of the NBA. Mark Cuban,
the worst trade in the history of the NBA. Wow,
that's a lot, that's a bit, that's a big statement,
that is Yeah, it was a baffling trade. That's Dallas's end. Yeah,
that's right. And I got to ask you, because I
do listen to the radio show. If you live next
(30:31):
to Lax, you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You know you didn't know.
Speaker 21 (30:34):
You got here and you bought a house near Lax
and they expanded, and an airplane came over your house
every eight minutes or every you know, two minutes, and
then you fought that and nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Wouldn't you eventually move? Yes?
Speaker 21 (30:48):
So the bigger question is there, why do you still
live in the city of Los Angeles?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Why do I I can't answer that in ten seconds.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You want my whole financial portfolio on mortgage.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Is great.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
You have the.
Speaker 21 (31:04):
Money to go to Orange County, where it's beautiful, where
the streets are paved, where the trees are taken care of.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
There are answers to this that I'm not going to
get into on the air because i want to go home.
Speaker 21 (31:15):
Okay, but one day I'll come in early. We'll go
over it. But we could have lunch. Okay, I can
explain all this.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'm sure you're not the only one that's right.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
You do.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
But I think it adds.
Speaker 21 (31:31):
To the show that you are tortured hunting in the
city of l.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, I look, I'm feeling it with everyone else. Okay,
I'm one of the people. We got Virginia Diakastano live
in the twenty four hour CAFI Newsroom.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt Show podcast.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
You can always hear the show live on KFI Am

Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
If you already missed the first two hours of show
Boy Never wants to give you a good spanking.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Oh god, wow.
Speaker 5 (00:13):
No.
Speaker 6 (00:13):
John is really into these fetishes, so you don't want
to miss what they are.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
We had we had a good fetish segment. Well, not
a good one. It ended up in a guys very sad.
It was involved saran wrap and duct tape.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
And conjugal visit. That was another one.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
That was another one.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yes, somebody got killed.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
It's been a filthy, dirty program, really have. So if
you miss it.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
iHeartRadio app John Cobelt Show on demand the podcast. All right,
let's get two rounds of the moistline coming up, and
we're going to talk now with State Senator Tony Strickland.
He's a Republican from Huntington Beach. He had this idea,
and I know this may shock you. I just sometimes
wonder sometimes I wish I could do an instant poll
of like ten thousand people right now who thinks that
(01:00):
instead of lowering gas prices, we should spend money on
high speed rail. For another year, because that was the
gist of Tony Strickland's bill, Let's not fund high speed
rail and instead use the money to lower gas prices.
And the Democrats, you know, they're for the working people,
(01:21):
they said no, no, lower gas prices, and yes, keep
the high speed rail scam going. At Tony Strickland on
state Senator from Huntington Beach, Tony, how are.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
You acid, John? How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I'm all right, Well, this was a pretty shocking, outrageous
radical plan that you proposed here to the legislature.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, I wish you did have instant point.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I bet almost every one of your listeners would be
on our side because it's not a Democratic Republican that's
common sense.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, this shouldn't be a political issue.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
You know, this train that they sold to the people
of California at the beginning was supposed to be thirty
three billion. They've already spent one hundred and twenty eight
billion and they haven't even laid down a track yet.
This is the most wasteful public project in American history.
And at the same time, they're going to keep spending
billions on the high Steed rail while Gavin Newsom and
(02:19):
the super majority have raised our gas prices, our gas
tax the last four years in a row. And people
are struggling, you know, trying to make ends me paycheck
to paycheck, and these folks just keep raising prices, and
these gas.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Taxes falls disproportionately on hard.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Working families that are just trying to make it. And
I always say, people in California's gonna have to decide
between a gallon of milk and a gallon of gas.
This is a no brainer. This is commonstance. But that's
something that's wrong with the legislature in Gavin Newsom. They
have no common sense to average working people of California.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Usually politicians around the rest of the country pandered to
their constituents right to give them some kind of some.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Kind of break, like do things that they like, Yeah, right, you.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Know to a certain extent, you know, something to brag about,
something to bring up at all. Hey, you know I
lowered your gas prices this year. That was my bill
that I was the deciding vote. They don't even try
to do that, not even for a few months, not
even for the rest of the year. Talk about the
specifics of your bill, exactly what were you proposing?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
This is a simple proposal. It's very it's very It's
like one sentence. It says the legislature to define.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Define the high speed rail and use the.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Funds instead to reduce the state gasoling a tax. That's
pretty much all it says.
Speaker 7 (03:39):
That's all it is, and that's all it is, And
for me, I wanted to make it as simplistic as possible.
End of the day, everybody knows, uh, include the Democrats
in the in the legislature. Everybody knows that this this
train will not be built, especially the one that they
sold to the people California that it's going to go
from San Francisco, La. They already know it's not gonna
(04:02):
be built. They've already spent one hundred again, one hundred
and twenty eight billion dollars. I'm glad the federal government
has kind of come in and audit this. I want
to see what consultants made a whole bunch of.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Money on this. But how do you spend one hundred
and twenty eight billion dollars and not lay down one track?
Speaker 3 (04:15):
The only thing that explains this is corruption. I cannot
think of another explanation because they're not that stupid. So
it's got to be they're they're that corrupt, and and
and they're getting paid off.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
And again I say this, this has to be the
most wasteful public project in American history, not even close.
And again, these these these legislators and and Gavin Newsom
are tone deaf on what high gas prices mean to
average people in California. You know this, this this notion
(04:50):
that they're going to get people out of their cars. Well,
we need our cars to get back and forth to work.
It's always like it, always think we govin New some
specific he always wants something for other people, not for himself.
It's just like you know, when we had the COVID,
he sent his kids in person school, but he didn't
want ours. He actually went to have dinner at French laundry,
(05:12):
but we can go out to eat. And now he
wants to be able to drive, but you know, wants
to make it really difficult for every everyday working people
to be able to make ends meat and drive back
and forth to work. These high gas prices. Go go look,
go look and have your listeners. She would have cost
our gallon gas in Texas, Florida, Idaho, and then look
(05:33):
what it costs here it's and those are all high
gas taxes that the state puts down on the people
of California.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
You know, I talk about this all the time on
the air. In fact, I'm calling it right now, the
state by state gas prices. You go to the Triple
A site, it's gasprices dot AAA dot com. So in California,
as of today, we're paying four sixty five a gallon.
In Mississippi, they're paying two sixty six. It's almost exactly
(06:05):
two dollars difference. And Mississippi is not that much of
an outlier. There's twenty four states that's selling gas for
less than three dollars, and there's forty two states selling
gas for less than three in a quarter, and we're
at four sixty five.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Absolutely, and we're losing population. John, I mean, think about this.
This is what I always say. We live in an oasis.
Your promo came on to talk about how beautiful the
weather is here in California. Right now, people are leaving
the state of California, in the most beautiful place to
live in the world, and they're going to the desert
(06:43):
of Arizona, Nevada. They're going to the humidity of Texas
and Florida and they're going to the cold up in Idaho.
Because of the policies of Gavin Newsom and the supermajority,
people are leaving in droves. It's the first time.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Since the Gold Rush in California.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
We're losing more a lot population that we're taken in
in the census. Already said we've probably lose the three
to four congressional seats after these next ten years because
people are leaving the state and droves, and businesses are
leaving the state because of overregulation and these policies from Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Well, what would it take for them to vote differently?
Because all my experience in life tells me that excessively
high gas prices usually ruins political careers. And now we're
two bucks higher than some East Coast and southern states,
two bucks per gallon higher, and we got in the
(07:37):
sixty five cent a gallon gas tax increase coming.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
And you know, I, you know, I thought we were
already beyond the tipping point, to be honest, John, I mean,
but I also think, you know, people are starting to
wake up. You're seeing more and more you know, movement.
And I don't necessarily say that, Hey, they all go
to the Republicans because all the Plicans offer a bright vision.
We need more leaders that will offer a vision that
(08:05):
really resonate with hard working people throughout there.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
You know, that's the thing with gas prices. I'm looking
at the list of states. There are plenty of heavily
Democratic states who have gas prices far lower than ours.
I mean, New York is three dollars and ten cents,
Connecticut is three dollars on the nose there, Massachusetts two
(08:28):
ninety five, New Jersey to ninety four, Virginia two ninety four.
These are solidly Democratic states, and they're offering gas for
less than three bucks.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So it's not it's not a political thing, it's not.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
What No, it's it's they just again, they're out of touch.
They keep raising this gas tax every year, and Gavin
news is raising every year. At some point, I'm hoping
that people wake up and see who they're putting in
these offices, in these elective positions. I'm asking you, know,
(09:04):
your listeners, if they're please call Governor Newsom's office, Please
call your senator, call your assembly member, and say, hey, look,
support this simple proposal. This is not a Republican proposal.
This is a common sense proposal. And if you don't,
you know, then we'll see you in November next year.
You know, at the end of the day, we have
to hold these elected officials accountable.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
All right, Tony Strickland, who you just you just took
over this seat. You had a special election February twenty fifth,
and it was.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
My first week back. This is my first week back.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
But you know what's interesting, John, is my last.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Vote I was in the Senate before. I don't know
if you know my background, but I was in the Senate.
In my last vote in twenty twelve was voting no
on the High Street rail And in fact I had
I had the privilege because my last day to bring
my five year old son and he was sitting right
next to me and we called him tiny Tony, and
I said, my son, one day I'm going to take
(10:00):
to college, and he's going to ask dad, why is
there a train from the middle of nowhere in central Valley,
this small city to another small city while he's going
to college. And it's because of the you know, everybody
knew at that time the thirty three billion dollars going
to get it done, and they sold a bill goods
to the people of California. And I said, he's going
(10:21):
to be going, I'm going to be dropping him off
in college and he's going to ask that question he's
a junior in high school today or a year away.
There you go prothetic And the.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
First speech I gave coming back to the.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
State Senate was this proposal. And I'm going to fight
hard because this is a common sense that you, Tony,
that please come back, get done.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I got to do the news, but please come back
on anytime you've got anything like this and we can
further discuss because we got to keep hammering on this,
Tony strictly State Center from Huntington Beach, thank you for
coming on.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
It is time for the award winning. Have we won
an award?
Speaker 9 (11:03):
No, we have not.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I don't think we ever will.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
For this all right, well, hey, look if Gavin Newsom
can puff himself up, so can I. The award winning
Voiceline Sean.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Thanks for calling a moistline. I'm so excited to hear
from you. About time.
Speaker 9 (11:19):
After listening to the Kamala Harris Dorito's speech I'm just
astylished seventy five million Americans voted for her to be president.
Speaker 10 (11:29):
Democrats loved electric cars and climate change. They're musk be
a reason why they are attacking Tesla leaderships.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
The Nile is still a river in Africa and now
goes through Ghana.
Speaker 11 (11:41):
The Democrats have all become tribal socialist tribes of divide
and conquer Das's.
Speaker 12 (11:48):
Two forty eight and Helton that Island.
Speaker 13 (11:50):
South Carolina addicts are the prison system's number one customer,
So it's probably not profitable for California to invest in
Top thirty six because then nobody would be showing up
to the prisons system.
Speaker 14 (12:05):
The people in Palisades and Eaten are the true homeless.
The people that are under the bridges are simply squatters
and trespassers.
Speaker 10 (12:16):
The worst thing about the California Progressive voters are they
don't realize they're voting patterns or the reason everything sucks
all around them all.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
This is Bill from the National Transportation Safety Board.
Speaker 11 (12:30):
This message is for Deborah Mark.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Deborah, we are going to need you to disclose.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Your future travel plans with us so we can make
some adjustments and plan accordingly and make sure we have
staffing in those areas.
Speaker 12 (12:44):
I live in Paradise and escaped the campfire, and a
few weeks after I somehow I listen to the nine
to one to one calls that we're coming out of
Paradise and some of the most disturbing things you'll ever
hear of people calling asking for help, saying everything's on fire,
and the operators just saying we have no one to
send you do what you can. It's pretty horrific.
Speaker 5 (13:07):
Cruso not getting behind this whole bath recall, and I
kind of agree with him because it's bogus.
Speaker 15 (13:13):
We saw what happened with Newsomm and Gascon. It's rigged,
and I agree it's.
Speaker 16 (13:18):
Going to cost too much money, and there's all these
bogus rules that they put in there.
Speaker 17 (13:22):
The reason why the LA politicians keep the homeless around
is because the demour At party uses them for water harvesting.
Speaker 16 (13:30):
My favorite slogan now is we don't have a revenue problem.
Speaker 15 (13:35):
We have a spending problem.
Speaker 13 (13:37):
And that's the problem in LA and all across the country.
Speaker 16 (13:41):
Hey Newsome, why don't you get that nine billion dollars
from the thirty billion you lost?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
How about that?
Speaker 13 (13:48):
But a piece of I paid per.
Speaker 16 (13:50):
Month for two kids eight hundred and twenty seven dollars
a month.
Speaker 15 (13:54):
For health insurance.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
I need the legles get it for free.
Speaker 13 (13:58):
What's the going on?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Maybe we need a class action suit by every citizen in.
Speaker 10 (14:03):
California for stealing medical My house.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Burned down in the Eaton fire.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
I'm making a sign.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
For my car that says, kill the bullet train, bury
the lines.
Speaker 12 (14:13):
If Newsom wouldn't have flushed money down the toilets and.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Had been a real leader, I might have my house.
Speaker 18 (14:18):
Do you think Gavin Lisson would have the courage in
the base.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
The lion down Coba money his podcast?
Speaker 18 (14:25):
Oh, that would be much the podcast.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
I would love it.
Speaker 16 (14:28):
I don't think Trump should end secret service for Biden
and his wife, but his adult children. Yeah, I'm not
paying secret service detail for non former presidents.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
His kids can get their.
Speaker 16 (14:44):
Own Walmart security guards.
Speaker 19 (14:46):
Why are people putting administrators and teachers and kids in
these situations to begin with? In the first place, it's
the situation that's the problem. People were put in. The
situation is that like administrators in the schools and the
teachers all that who are like yay, put me in
the situation I'm telling you they didn't want to go
(15:07):
to school and be put in the situation.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
This is not what they.
Speaker 19 (15:10):
Signed up for.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
John, You're not a positive person. You scream in the
l constantly.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
It's so nice to have confirmation of what so many
of us have known for so long.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
Gavin Newsom is a bust.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
If anybody should be recalled, it needs to be the
La City attorney.
Speaker 15 (15:29):
She doesn't go to court to defend the city.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
She just simply settles.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up, goodbye.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
I like this.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Gavin Newsom is a bust, and I am a positive person.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Yes, John is very positive.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'm a cheery guys.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
He really, oh, very Yes, this is my therapy.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
Yeah, and I'm not going to be talking about my
travel plans. I'm sorry, I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 6 (15:55):
I'm hoping that I'm actually going to go to the
places that I want to go.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Because that country, the countries would revoke visas.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Yeah, now, no, I can't. I can't disclose it.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Never let her in.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
I have bad travel karma.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
All right, we got.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Round two of the moistline coming up in a few minutes,
but coming after Debra's news, we're going to tell you
about the other gas tax proposal that was killed by
the Democrats. This would have blocked the sixty five cent
a gallon price increase which is coming sixty five cent
(16:32):
a gallon. We told you about that a few months ago.
It's still happening, and there was a chance for the
legislature to stop it, and two Democrats abstained from voting
in order to block it. They're both locals, one in Burbank,
one in Pasadena, just right here in Burbank, down the highway,
(16:53):
and I think they ought to be highlighted not only
for their their bad policy, but their cowardice they wouldn't
even vote when they had a chance to block it.
I'll explain all this when we returned, but it means
sixty five cents a gallon sometime this year.
Speaker 8 (17:11):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
We have another round of the Moistline coming up in moments.
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobelt Radio. Earlier in the show, well,
we hit on gas prices twice because there were two bills,
two of them. If you didn't hear that would have
lowered gas prices. And one of them we just talked
(17:40):
about with Tony Strickland, the state senator from Huntington Beach.
His idea, which he presented to the Senate and they
shot it down, was why don't we defund high speed
rail and use the money to.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Reduce gas taxes? How about that.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Used the money to reduce gas taxes in the state,
and the Democrats said no. Idea Number two, this is
by Senate Leader Brian Jones, Republican of San Diego, said
how about we block the California Air Resources Board sixty
five cent gas tax increase which is coming soon. I
(18:22):
warned you about this several months ago during the fall.
It was the first week of November, right after election day,
I think three days after election day they voted a
sixty five cent gas tax increase. Hasn't taken effect yet.
It's disguised as a low carbon fuel standard, basically forcing
(18:48):
oil and gas companies to come up with a new
formula which immediately raises the gas tax sixty five cents.
So they Sentate BILLB but Brian Jones says, well, let
me just block it. Just drop those regulations, just keep
the gas as is, the oil as is, Keep the
gas prices as it's which, by the way, the gas prices,
(19:10):
and I'm keeping the chart in front of me here
just so you know this. I want you to feel
this every time you fill up. It's four sixty five
a gallon on average in California. In Mississippi it's two
sixty six. And we had a guy calling on the
moistline right from South Carolina two forty eight.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
It's just not fair.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Two forty eight and we're paying four sixty five.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Katie Grimes from California Globe said she paid five point
fifteen for gas in Sacramento. There are many areas that
are over five bucks, so it's simple. Brian Jones has
a bill. It would block the California Air Resources Board regulations.
We would end up not increasing gas price is by
(20:00):
sixty five cents because if that goes into effect now
we're paying five thirty five as an average. It went
before a committee and it actually got three votes to
block the regulations. It was three to two, but it's
(20:21):
a nine member committee, so you need five yes votes
to block the gas increase. They got three. Suzette Martinez
Valderis Republican Megan Dolly, Republican, and a Democrat, Melissa Hurtado,
also voted to block the gas tex increase.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Why would anybody not want to block the gas increase.
That's what I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Well, State Senator Lena Gonzalez from Long Beach, you people
in Long Beach, you got a lunatic there. She voted
to continue the gas increase. And Steve Badia from Chiullavisa
also voted to continue the gas tax increase. So it's
three to two. The good guys are winning. And there
were three yet to vote and they all abstained. And
(21:13):
if you have a nine member committee, you need five.
Well two of them are local, two state senators. One
is Caroline Menjivar of Burbank, the other is Sasha Perez
of Pasadena, both Democrats. Had they voted yes, then it
(21:36):
would have blocked the gas tax. Well, the bill would
have gone on at a committee. But this was the
first hurdle, This was the first leg and if they
had voted yes, it would have moved on to the
next round, another committee or maybe the full Senate, the Assembly.
You know, it's all rigmarole. But Caroline Menjivar and Sasha
(21:58):
Perez are afraid to vote in favor of the gas tax,
and they're also afraid to vote against the gas tax,
so they abstain.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
But what I don't understand is nobody really wants these
high prices. So what are you afraid of?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
I don't know. This is the only thing I could
and I've said this one hundred times. This is like
some kind of cult, some kind of religious fanaticism. Why
are they hell bent on driving the price of gas up?
They'll tell you it's about the climate. This has no
effect on the climate. The climate is global, worldwide, and
you could see, Oh Trump announced the other day we're
(22:42):
going to start firing up cold plants again.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
But we're doing that.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
There's nothing about our policy that has any this guy
have any.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Effect on the climate.
Speaker 6 (22:51):
But the gas prices are lower all over the place, right,
So if climate is the issue, well then it's all
over the place. How come they other states can have
cheaper gas than us.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Because we have fanatics. They're mentally ill. The people in
the legislature are mentally ill. Most of the public does
not want high speed rail anymore. Nobody wants to be
paying four sixty five five bucks a gallon for gas.
How do the people And like I said, this is
not a political issue. None of this is political. In
(23:26):
the high speed rail case, it's about bribery. It's about
unions bribing public officials, including Newsom, in order to keep
the make work fake jobs that they have building high
speed rail. When it comes to the gas prices, I'm
looking at hardcore Democratic.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
States such as New York.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Here we have New Jersey is two ninety four a gallon.
Massachusetts that's the most left wing state in the nation
two ninety five, Virginia two ninety four, New York is
three ten, Minnesota is three twelve. The district of Columbia,
which went like ninety five percent Democratic in the election,
(24:13):
is only three twenty.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
So it's it's it's not a political thing. It's just California.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
It's the mental illness of the people in the legislature
are in this climate cult. So Caroline Menjivar and Sasha Perez,
I'd contact them.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You could look up the men Javar spelled M. E. N.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Jivar, Democrat from Burbank, Sasha Perez Democrat, Pasadena. If they
had voted yes to block the gas tax, then it
would have left the committee, and they didn't and they
were they were cowardly.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
They wouldn't even they wouldn't even vote. They were there,
they just abstained.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I hate that that should be allowed. So we've got
the highest gas prices in the nation, we have the
highest energy prices, we have the highest electricity and now
they're going to add another sixty five cents. And they
were given two deals here, two deals. Stop the sixty
five cent increase which is coming sometime this year. And
(25:18):
Tony Strickland's bill, how about we defund high speed rail
and put the savings towards lowering the gas tax. Democrats
said no to all this. I don't understand. Is there
a single person out there that wants high speed rail built,
wants to pay higher gas taxes, and.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Wants this sixty five cent separate increase? Anybody?
Speaker 6 (25:46):
I think you need to get the bullhorn out again,
and you need to go pay a visit to people.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Yeah, well find out where Caroline Menjabbar is. She must
be nearby. She represents Burbank, Sasha Perez represents Pasadena. They
deserve a good bull they do.
Speaker 8 (26:04):
You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
We are now going to do round two of the moistline.
Speaker 16 (26:12):
Hey, Sean, thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I'm so excited to hear from you.
Speaker 13 (26:16):
To map time, I gave up.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I called my stockbroker.
Speaker 13 (26:19):
I said, enough with the view, enough with Jimmy kimmelf
fell all my Disney agency stock.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Just sell it all.
Speaker 14 (26:26):
I'm not supporting that organization anymore.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Maybe Karen Vashi started playing off the Democrats only, but.
Speaker 15 (26:33):
Those are the boss that quoted or is you need
to cut expenses, like Denise Scenonios. It doesn't know what
to do with a fire hose and how to put
it in a hole and fill it up.
Speaker 11 (26:43):
I think we should have a co advocate.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
You for governor seemed to be at a fact choice.
Speaker 11 (26:49):
Well, you know what I think, all these fools in government,
we should just cut their paychecks until they fix the
thing problems.
Speaker 20 (26:56):
There will be a sense of urgency at vent rate
where they can't.
Speaker 18 (26:59):
Afford their loudest trips than jocks. You know, at the
end of the day, California is getting what it deserves.
People vote for these people and this is the outcome.
Speaker 17 (27:10):
No one has a problem running about these criminals. This
and that no one cares. Everyone wants them all gone.
But how do you know those are all actual criminals,
part of the Venezuelan game. We're all here illegally. That
is why we have something called the do process of law.
Speaker 5 (27:25):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
That's all we're saying.
Speaker 17 (27:27):
Get rid of the criminals, yay, but do it legally
and correctly.
Speaker 20 (27:30):
Florida sounds great, so you get hit with the humidity.
Speaker 13 (27:33):
I've lived there.
Speaker 16 (27:34):
It's oppressive.
Speaker 20 (27:36):
I beg the different. It's not the high cost of living.
It's driving the people out of California. It's the polity
and your government. Plenty of people can't afford to state California.
I could easily have stayed in California Afflorida un it,
but I took my wealth with me.
Speaker 13 (27:51):
Out of the state to Tennessee. If you go to
the mom Museum in Las Vegas, you'll find a section dedicated.
Speaker 18 (27:58):
To the La City Council and mayor.
Speaker 15 (28:01):
Bas because they're the new Bafia.
Speaker 17 (28:03):
I just called both my state representatives, Stern and Shaverro,
and you know what.
Speaker 13 (28:09):
I asked them, Well, why don't you want cheaper gas prices?
Speaker 15 (28:13):
And nobody could give me an answer.
Speaker 11 (28:16):
I saw a picture of all the people who are
dandalizing all the Tesla places and cars, all that hair
color that they've got in their hairs. What must be
affecting their brains.
Speaker 18 (28:28):
To make them do such stupid stuff?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
They look and act just as stupid.
Speaker 18 (28:34):
I don't understand Democrats. Kamala Harris goes twenty million dollars
in debt. Couldn't even manage your own campaign. Kavin Newsom
has gone billions in debt with his budget because he
wants to get money.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
To the homeless.
Speaker 18 (28:47):
Excuse me, anything but the homeless. He wants to get
money to all of that illegal aliens coming over well
and the homeless. Also, what's going on, guys? I think
we need to have a recall and get rid again
this them a did. President Trump was crucified because the
Democrats said he didn't do enough to discourage January sixth riots.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
You heard a.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
Single Democratic politician condemn and try to rein in their
followers with regard to the Tesla vandalism and Arson program.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I didn't think so.
Speaker 9 (29:17):
People in California are dumb as a post. That's why
the guests precesses are high. That's why the governor stills there.
That's why the mayor is still there. Everybody needs to
get a grip.
Speaker 12 (29:29):
Thank you for leaving your message, Please hang up goodbye.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
That's the moistline eight seven seven Moist eighty six for
next week.

Speaker 21 (30:00):
Old buildings and old sort of you know la landmarks
have been burning up and going away.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
I don't know what's going on. And then Petros is
coming on.
Speaker 21 (30:10):
They're still talking about that Dallas Lakers trade as being
the worst trade in the history of the NBA. Mark Cuban,
the worst trade in the history of the NBA. Wow,
that's a lot, that's a bit, that's a big statement,
that is Yeah, it was a baffling trade. That's Dallas's end. Yeah,
that's right. And I got to ask you, because I
do listen to the radio show. If you live next
(30:31):
to Lax, you.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You know you didn't know.
Speaker 21 (30:34):
You got here and you bought a house near Lax
and they expanded, and an airplane came over your house
every eight minutes or every you know, two minutes, and
then you fought that and nothing happened.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Wouldn't you eventually move? Yes?
Speaker 21 (30:48):
So the bigger question is there, why do you still
live in the city of Los Angeles?
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Why do I I can't answer that in ten seconds.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You want my whole financial portfolio on mortgage.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
Is great.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
You have the.
Speaker 21 (31:04):
Money to go to Orange County, where it's beautiful, where
the streets are paved, where the trees are taken care of.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
There are answers to this that I'm not going to
get into on the air because i want to go home.
Speaker 21 (31:15):
Okay, but one day I'll come in early. We'll go
over it. But we could have lunch. Okay, I can
explain all this.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
I'm sure you're not the only one that's right.
Speaker 14 (31:30):
You do.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
But I think it adds.
Speaker 21 (31:31):
To the show that you are tortured hunting in the
city of l.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Yeah, I look, I'm feeling it with everyone else. Okay,
