Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one till four o'clock. After
four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,
and you can listen to what you missed one o'clock hour.
You should be listening to because I go into what
I think is the truth about what's going on with
the Palisades and Bass and Newsom. I don't think Bass
(00:24):
has any intention of releasing more than a few permits.
They don't want Palisades rebuilt by the people who used
to live there. They wanted to be low income housing.
And Gavin Newsom announced just last night one hundred and
one million dollars available for a low income housing project. Meantime,
(00:45):
the homeowners can't get permits. Talk more about that later,
Talk more about that this hour. Gavin Newsom is the
center of what we're going to discuss this hollar. We
have Katie Grimes on from californiaglobe dot com. Katie, how
are you.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Hey, John? I'm well, how are you?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I'm all right?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
We got a lot to cover here. The first thing
I want to get into is the Gavin Knewso press
conference on Monday to talk about the six month anniversary
of the fire. Did Karen Bass ever make it to
that press conference?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No, she did not. She was fighting off ice at MacArthur.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Park, right.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's That's what I realized, is like she never got there.
You know, she was yelling and screaming at the ice agents.
So it looks like, I mean, I'm reading your story
and he presented this as major progress has been made
with the fire cleaner.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, talk about that was what was he doing?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, that's I mean, your guess is as good as mine, because,
as I described in today's story, what he said was
just like talking incursive. He was claiming that government had
moved at the speed of need and it's the most
world historical cleanup that's ever happened. And I'm thinking, could
(02:07):
anybody at this press conference possibly believe the garbage coming
out of his mouth? Because at the same time he
was speaking, so was gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton live in
front of a pile of debris in Pacific Palisades and
with cameras, you know, going all around him showing you
what it really looked like. So this was like a
(02:29):
really bad headfake.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I go to the Palisades every week. I live right
next door. It's still a disaster area. The Army Corps
of Engineers, the federal government has cleaned up a lot
of the residential lots, a lot of the business areas
are still a disaster, and there's these crumbling, burnt shells.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Of what used to be buildings. It's ugly, it's really awful.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And the homes it's all vacant lots, and the people
there can't get permits from BASS to start the reconstruction.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, exactly. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know what
it's going to take to get mayor baths to start
issuing permits. It seems to me like some legal action
needs to happen. There's got to be some sort of
a class action lawsuit against the LA and the state.
I don't know, because this is absolutely stunning. As you said,
(03:24):
I took a picture five months ago when I was
there in February of this burnt out shell of a
building which you could tell had been a really pretty building,
and a friend of mine who was there yesterday at
the press conferences, took a photo sent it to me
and I went, that's the same freaking building. Yeah, it's
just still such a disaster, and I'm kind of wondering, like,
(03:45):
where on earth is the media, Where is the LA
media screaming in Karen Bass's face every day wanting to
know why permits aren't being released.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We're getting continuous SOB stories about illegal aliens getting chased. Correct,
that's what's being take Yeah, that's what's being televised, a
carabass screaming at ICE officials. Now the fire has been
completely forgotten by by much of the media out here.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
No care y, that's evident. Yeah, And if they're big enough,
they're now traveling with Gavin to South Carolina for his
presidential campaign launch. I think the people who live in
Pacific Palisades and Altadena and Malibu, probably most of WM
voted for Governor Newsom two or three times to elections
(04:35):
in a recall, they're the ones that should feel the
most betrayed right now. And there's just got to be
a way to get to these people because they're the
ones that need to demand something happened, because nothing's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's over seven thousand buildings in the Palisades, another seven
thousand plus in Altadena and then Malibu. I think it's
sixteen thousand building's total, And it's a couple of hundred permits,
about one hundred in the Palisades, about one hundred in Altadena.
And somebody calculated at this rate, it's going to be
four hundred years before all the homes are rebuilt, literally
(05:12):
four hundred years. And the pace is not picked up
at all. It's as slow as it was in the
first month. So I'm saying, here's what I'm thinking. This
is on purpose, obviously, And is it possible, because you've
been writing about Scott Wiener's bill to allow low income
apartment buildings to be built in residential neighborhoods, is it
(05:34):
possible that they're dragging their feet on the permits so
that the homeowners get sick of the insurance companies, get
sick of the bureaucracy and sell out to developers. And
now Palisades is going to be a low income apartment paradise,
and so is Alta, Dina, and maybe Malibu too. Maybe
I'm think and that's the plan, that there's a reason
(05:55):
for all this.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
There's got to be a reason for all this.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, remember Gavin News pretty much said that like a
week after the fires took place, And what he was
saying is, you know, well, state law requires that, you know,
when we do any building now, no matter whether it's
rebuilding or new building, new construction. You know, so much
of it has to be low income housing, and so
much of you know, they have their formulas. Now I
(06:19):
agree with you. I think, uh, yeah, they're stalling for
a reason. No one is this incompetent.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
No one, It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And if they yeah, we have Rick Caruso on yesterday,
and and and Rick has offered the Beast Administration this
this this AI software that reduces it's called plan check,
reduces it the wait for a permit from months to hours.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He said they won't use it, of course not.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Of course not.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It would make Yeah, it would. It would expose them
for what they are obviously a lot of gross incompetence.
But I do believe that there are orders coming down.
I'm from the top saying no, no building, and it
makes me wonder. I mean, I'm happy to do a
public records request. Anybody listening to this can do a
public records request of the Planning Office of the Mayor's
(07:12):
Office of all Communications, you know, going down between them.
I mean, we know how they react.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Rick Caruso didn't know why they didn't have one stop
shop office in the Palisades, in and out to Dina
for months and months now so people can come and
get everything processed in a matter of hours instead of
driving downtown to LA Can you hang on, well, go ahead, yeah,
go Aheadah, hang on, We'll continue this. I guess you
got to do the news. Deborah Mark. We're talking Katie
(07:39):
Grimes from californiaglobe dot com. I'm telling you something's up here.
This is not this is not this is not just incompetence.
This is on purpose. They don't want the Palisades rebuilt.
They don't want outa Dina rebuilt. What they want is
low income apartment towers.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Let's continue with Katie Grimes from californiaglobe dot com about
Newsom's media event on Monday, which was really a kickoff
to his presidential campaign because he was in South Carolina yesterday.
And one thing that you wrote about at californiaglobe dot
com is all these Democratic politicians who showed up not
(08:24):
to talk about the fire recovery, but to praise Newsome,
and then twenty four hours later he's in South Carolina
holding court. So this sounded like a kickoff event.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Oh yeah, I sure did.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It was.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
As I said in the article, the fire recovery was
totally secondary to this LoveFest that Democrat politicians from southern
California had for Gavin Newsom. It was absolutely syrapy disgusting
the stuff they said. You could tell each of them
was going to be using their own clips for their
(09:00):
own re elections. Also, I mean it was just just gross.
It was embarrassing. I mean, these people are They're not
good at political theater.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And you have Padilla was there.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Last time I saw Alex Pdea, the Senator, he was
faced down on the ground and handcuffed, and now he
bounced back up to worship Newsom for his tirelessness with
the fire recovery. Honest to god, I can't think of
a single thing in the last five and a half
months that Newsom has done about fire recovery.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I have not at all. Yeah, I totally agree with you,
And this is after Gavin Newsom promised a Marshall plan
to rebuild, rebuild the fire areas. No, there was nothing
tirelessness about Gavin Newsom's help with the fire recovery. And
I think it just goes to show you that this
(09:54):
was all just gratuitous pimping of Gavin Newsom for the
presidential election.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Brad Sherman, the congressman, thank Newsom so much for his
pre planning ahead of the fire pre planning.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Uh huh, we were caught completely.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Right, Yeah, I do believe it was an empty.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Reservoir, correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't fill the reservoir.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
What what? What was it? What was going on here?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Were they all smoking crack? I'm reading these quotes in
your story. It's like this, this, this can't be real.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I know.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And that's what it felt like having to watch it.
And it was pretty evident very early on that this
was so not about fire recovery. It just happened to
fall on the six month anniversary. So Gavin and his
pr Flax decided to create a real launching event of
the world renowned governor from California.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Jennifer Cybel Newsom, his wife, gave her speech in Spanish.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yes, very practiced Spanish, So we don't know what it
was about. Nope, not a word, you know, I speak
a little, but uh no it was and it was
so inappropriate. I mean, frankly, everything these people said. You
go from from Representative Judy Chu, who is useless as
(11:25):
teeth on a wild boar, thanking Newsom for his incredibly
strong and unwavering leadership. Those are not the words most
people would think of when describing, for you know, describing
Gavin Newsom and Brad Sherman just you know, fawning all
over Gavin Newsom. All they're thinking is, oh, what can
I get out of this guy when he's president?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
And Pada said, actually, Sherman said, he he's got a
great partner in Padia.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But what was that about. I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I don't Yeah, I don't even know what they were
talking about. Yeah, it's well. And what was so bizarre
is that he's saying I could not have a better
partner than Senator Alex Padilla, who had complimented the first
partner most most women married to politicians are like the
first lady. As he's doing the big handoff of the
(12:19):
mic to missus Newsome just cause people are so awkward,
they're so bizarre, and they are the freakiest freaks.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Among us meantime.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I mean I had quite a few friends lose their
homes in the Palisades. Yeah, and everybody is if frustrated, exhausted,
beside themselves and they can't get an answer from anybody
on how to get their home rebuilt. And I saw
the coverage of this press event, this kickoff to his campaign,
(12:49):
and I am livid.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And I was two three miles away from the fire.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I cannot imagine how the people, not only the Palisades,
but out Deadan and Malibu are feeling watching this nonsense, absolute.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Nonsense, And nobody can get a permit.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
If they would hit out the permits, everybody would build
their home and move on with their life. But they're stuck.
And you got this corrupt insurance industry. They can't get
a dollar out of the insurance companies. Know some's not
doing anything about that. This is this is torture.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
This is cruel, Yeah, it is. It is stunning what's
going on. And I cannot believe that the people who
have been burned out of their homes, I can't believe
what they're going through. They're reliving this every day, every
time they get stalled or rejected. It's you can't help
but feel that this was planned, that this outcome, because
(13:43):
they don't plan for any other outcomes. All they do
is talk talk, talk, and hold meetings and sign bills
and appropriate funds without any outcome planned.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
When I saw this morning that the headline was Newsome
devoting one hundred and one million dollars to rebuild a
ford housing in the Palisades. When I first saw it,
I actually checked the internet because I thought it was
a fake story.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I thought I thought it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Was because it was it was from a small publication
that I wasn't familiar with, and I said, all right,
this is some partisan rag thing. This is uh uh sattire.
It can't be real. And I'm finding out it's all
over the place.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It is real.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
One hundred million dollars. It's the only announcement that I've
seen in the last five and a half months regarding
rebuilding in the Palisades from him, I haven't seen anything else. Yeah,
first thing out of his mouth is one hundred million
for affordable housing.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And there is no such thing as affordable housing in
Los Angeles anywhere there's no such thing as affordable housing
in California. It can't be done. So the taxpayers are
on the hook for building the bulk of whatever happens,
you know, if it's in fact going to be you know,
affordable housing high rises.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
All right, Katie Grimes, keep on top of this guy.
I know you will, And I'm going to californiglobe dot com,
Katie Grimes reader all the time we come back. All right,
we're gonna play your clips of Newsom at his basically
his presidential kickoff event in South Carolina coming up next.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I have mentioned eight seven seven Moist eighty six the
Moistline eight seven seven Moist d eighty six. Apparently are
Karen bass activity on the Moistline this week? From what
I understand, I think Friday is going to be most entertaining.
Oh yeah, yeah, but you can always get in. We're
always looking for something even better. Eight seven seven Moist
eighty six or usually talkback featured on the iHeartRadio app.
(15:45):
All right, So Gavin Newsom has officially abandoned California, his
his his, his time as governor is over as of yesterday,
July the eighth, twenty twenty five, because he went to
South Carolina and started campaigning and politicking to become the
(16:06):
Democratic presidential nominee. South Carolina has one of the earliest primaries.
South Carolina is the reason that Joe Biden became president
because he had done very poorly in the first couple
of primaries, and he won big in South Carolina and
blew away all the other competitors in twenty twenty like
Deep Boota Jedge and Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And now Newsom is zeroing in.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'm gonna play Eclipse and he you know, the thing
is a lot of some of these things. They sound
familiar to us because we've endured him for so many years.
But remember this is all fresh to the ears of
voters in South Carolina. Uh let's let's let's start with
Newsom in Kershaw County, South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
It's been an extraordinary today and in my state.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
And I mind is filled with gratitude and appreciation, barticularly
for all of you showing up tonight. I mean, this
was supposed to be this was the last minute thing,
and I said, we'll just throw it together. But don't
you know, we're in some rural parts of South.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Carolina, so don't don't expect many people.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
So what you guys obviously didn't get that money.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I'm just deeply grateful to all of you.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
He just had to fly to rural South Carolina. He
still would admit he's running for president. I mean, he's
just such such a jerk.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Why would you fly to rural South Carolina and book
some book an event at the last minute in Kershaw
County wherever the hell that is. You want to know
the population of Kershaw County, Yes, I do, sixty four
and three as of the twenty twenty census, sixty five thousand.
That's a couple of blocks in La.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
So he flies three thousand miles there three and a
half years ahead of the election and leaves behind ruins
in the Palisades, ruins and now to Dina, ruins in Malibu,
rioting in Los Angeles. Hell in San Francisco is still
filled with homeless people, mental patients, and drug addicts, as
well as downtown LA as well as Sacramento and many
(18:13):
other cities, leaving behind potentially eight dollars a gallon gas.
I still can't believe he's going to be running for president.
If the gas hits eight dollars, it's effect. What is
the well, I'll find it out during the commercial break
what the gas price is in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Right now, let's all right. He continues here, same speech,
and he starts talking about book banning of all things.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
But I want to pick up a little bit on
the Congressman said, because I was struck by what he
said about the book band. So I was struck what
he said about some of the challenges and struggles that
he continues.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
To face with his colleagues in Washington, DC. But on
the book bands, I think it's sort of emblematic in
the moment we're in. You know, last year there were
four thousand, two hundred and forty books ban in the
United States America forty two and forty. You can look
that up. It was a banning manage the likes of
which we've never experienced in the United States. There's been
a cultural purge in this country. The Congressman was exactly right.
(19:14):
They tried to write out the.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Race of Rosa parks in the anti woke legislation states
like Florida, until they were caught doing that.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
One of the.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Largest book publishers in United States America actually drafted that
social studies book for their.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Curriculum in Florida. Their banning speech in classrooms, but also
in the boardrooms. D I E. SG, CRT anything with
three letters. They's seeing the.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Man duj They got a problem with that FIDA and
it's still in the l likes.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
So we've got the fires, we got the riots, we
got millions of legal aliens.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
He has.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
The budget is tripled from one hundred billion to over
three hundred billion in this state eight dollars a gallon gas,
record high real estate prices, record high cost of living,
record high poverty, the worst poverty in the country, and
he is campaigning over book banning in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I feel like I've gone insane. I feel like I
wake up every day and I literally do not understand
what's going on in front of me.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I don't understand what people are doing and what people
are saying. Why is he in South Carolina when this
place has gone to hell and the people in the
Palisades and now Deadana can't get permits for their homes.
He promised everything was going to be streamlined, everything was
gonna be fast. He's in South Carolina complaining about book banning.
Who is worried about book banning?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Really?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Who was the last time he ran into somebody's said,
I can't believe all the books.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They're bad?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What books? What are you talking about? You know what
the price gas is in South Carolina? Two dollars and
eighty cents. Two dollars and eighty cents. In my neighborhood,
it's four eighty. So every time I fill up, it
cost me an extra forty bucks every week, every week,
an extra forty bucks, fifty two weeks a year.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's over two.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Thousand dollars that I'm spending on gas, entirely his fault.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And he's talking about book banning. All right, here's uh,
here's more. And he says Republicans want to go back
to pre nineteen sixties America.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
What we're experiencing is America in reverse. I'm trying to
bring us back to a green nineteen sixties.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
On voting rights, yeahl civil rights, LGBTQ rights, wayman's rights.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Yeah, and not just you know, access to abortion.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
But also access to simple reprod carey.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
He saw what they just did to planned parent.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, who's going yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, the hell are
you talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah yeah yeah, why play some more?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah yeah. It's a moment that few of us could
have imagined. And I know we were concerned about this moment.
We were out there campaign expressing concern about this moment.
I come from a small state on the West coast.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
In state.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
They think that's funny.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Our state of mind pretty simple. We're the most untrumped
state in America.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
We got pretty gas that.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Give me and not a little secret.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I'm not his favorite politician, No Fox News, a lot
of American news or newsbacks.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Or any other network state player. I mean, it's us. Yeah,
why the hell would you and me? But that's because
we stand tall for our lives. That's definitely which we
think are universal.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Record number of homeless people, record number of people on welfare.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
So why isn't somebody saying, excuse me, uh, mister governor,
can we go back to California? Record gas prices, homeless situation.
Do we know how the Palisades fire started?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yet?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Uh hmm? Why are you here when you have so
many problems in California?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
They were laughing at him.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Nobody asks that question.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I know, I don't understand it.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Are those questions?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah, there were a lot of questions you had there.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Oh I have more, you have more? I I really,
I don't. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I think we should send you to follow him around.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I would, you know what, Please, let's.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Know that I think we got to do something like
that because I would ask.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
Him those questions. And then you know, when the reporters say,
are you running for president?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
He laughs and he you know that that's a campaign round. Yeah,
of course it is. We all know that.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Yeah, don't insult our intelligence.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Honestly, he doesn't discuss the record homeless. He doesn't discuss
the record poverty. We have disastrous school systems in La
LA unified, seventy five percent of the kids graduate and
they can't do math and they can't read.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
No, his platform is I'm the anti Trump.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
By time he becomes president, he's not going to run
against Trump.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
We'll be Vance, We'll be Dvance.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
But Vance is not Trump. Vances that it's going to have.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
The same platform as Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, but not the Trump baggage and personality, all the
things that make people crazy. Vance is not going to
make people crazy in the same way he could, and
Trump is a unique beacies. All right, we got a
couple of more of these coming up. Oh my god,
but Banning, you're listening.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
To John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
We are going to try to stay in reality here
after three o'clock. State Senator Tony Strickland from Hunting to Beach.
Republicans keep introducing bills to stop the massive gas tax increase,
and the Democrats and Newsom keeps shooting it down. You know,
(25:34):
we got the low carbon fuel standard that's supposed to
go to effect, that could be a sixty five cent
per gallon gas increase. We've got two We've got two
oil refineries closing down, one here in Los Angeles, one
in Valero over the next year and a half. That
could send prices to eight dollars a gallon. And then,
(25:55):
as we reported a couple of weeks ago, the oil
companies are telling Newsom that they have so little oil
in the pipeline that the pipeline may shut down and
then the prices might go to ten dollars a gallon.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
But you wouldn't know it from listening to Newsoman in South.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Carolina, where he started his presidential campaign yesterday, Kershawk County,
South Carolina, sixty five thousand people, where gas goes for
two to eighty a gallon, and they don't have any
homeless people, and they don't have a fire that burned
down a big section of the county. And here he
(26:37):
is talking about how diverse California is.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
I represent the most diverse state in the world's most
diverse departments.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
It's interesting twenty seven percent of California's are four and four.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I don't think the majority of minority state. We don't
tolerate our diversity, our best, we celebrate.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
We're murdering there so fun.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Let's say that I say that till does you need
to say that. Yeah, it's no longer table stakes. You
can't take things for granting. That's right.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
What table steaks does that mean?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
I don't know. I was gonna ask you.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
How I know.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I'd never heard that phrase. I thought, maybe you have
table steaks? Is that dinner?
Speaker 7 (27:26):
He's meeting the moment with some of these things by steaks.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I know, table stakes? Uh, twenty seven percent of foreign
point these are illegal aliens who.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Cost this thirty five billion dollars a year in taxes.
Thirty five billion dollars a year go to illegal alien services,
including another twelve and a half billion for healthcare twelve
and a half billion.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Of course, you know he doesn't talk about that.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
How he ended up with a twelve billion dollar deficit
which almost exactly matched the money we're blowing on illegal
alien healthcare, which you know it's somebody somebody pointed out
if Trump at Homan are successful in clearing out a
lot of illegal aliens, and a lot of it's going
to be through self deportation, that's why they put on
(28:18):
that big show in MacArthur Park.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
It is to scare people. It's like, you know, it's
time to go home.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You imagine you're living in a country for years and
years illegally, and now you see they've got ice agents
and the Marines and the National Guard. You're thinking, you
know what, I guess party's over. I guess I pushed
it as far as it can go. I'm here illegally.
They don't want to put up with it anymore. And
a lot of people are going.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
To go home.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
And that's an extra twelve billion dollars in tax money
that ought to be given up back to us as
a rebate.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Why are we spending thirty five billion? Thirty five billion
is more than ten percent of the budget. We should
get ten percent of our tax money back. Instead, he's
bragging about it in South Carolina and call at diversity man.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
What the f.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Who asked for diversity that we got to pay thirty
five billion for thirty five billion dollars? You'd go look
it up. Federation for American Immigration Reform did a study
a couple of years ago. At the time, it was
about twenty two billion dollars. This was before legal alien healthcare,
(29:24):
which added another twelve and a half billion, So it's
about thirty five billion. That's a real number. That's more
than ten percent of our budget.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Who wants that.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
For? What?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
More of newsome?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
All right, so he was he was talking about book
banning a few years ago, and now he's talking about
interracial marriage, which is not a controversial topic anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
We're talking about Congressman's birthday. My birthday was nineteen sixty seven,
and it's interesting.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
I was sharing this a moment ago because some of
my young staff don't even remember this.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Everything weren't around, but it wasn't the black.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
I mean may have been in the black, but it
was you know, there was some color one just black
and white movies.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Nineteen year of my birth in South Carolina, black student
Mary whites.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
In my lifetime, some we take a brand of sixteen
states deny inter racial marriage.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
So someone by the day Richard loving him, he said,
two manage the words I do. It's a Mildred Jeter.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
But I had the courage not to give in to
a sentence where he was sentenced to one year in prison.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
And you remember the sentence the lower court judge said
to the couple, they said, God, sir, and I say
this with love and respect.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
So God, sir, God put different races on different continents
for a reason.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
God never wanted the races to mix. A paraphrased the lower.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Court decision, he said, the one year prisoner was calling
him out in Virginia.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
But the difference was.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That is he picking up like one one of those
like preacher kind of cadences in his speech.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well the responses are kind of yeah, like a little
loads of a Southern accent there, like he's suddenly a pastor.
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Jim Clyburn is the congressman. He's in his eighties in
South Carolina. He welcomed Newsom. Clyburn was the guy who
endorsed Biden to get him rolling in the presidential race
in twenty twenty. Let me read you first paragraph from
politico dot com about this event. Gavin Newsom sweated through
(31:35):
his shirt. I didn't think he could sweat. Quoted from Corinthians,
He's quoting the Bible in front of.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
The black church, growing, church going.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Crowd that he's speaking to you think Gavin Newsom reads
the Bible seriously and he railed against a Trump as
he blitzed across this early primary state and in this
small city northeast of Columbia, Camden, South Carolina. Newsomb grinned
sheepishly as Clyburn introduced him as one of these candidates
(32:14):
that are running for president. He was introduced as a
guy running for president. It's no secret, Clyburn told reporters.
I feel good about his chances. And the trip is
officially built by Newsom's team. The professional liars that he
(32:37):
was just supporting local Democrats and disaster torn communities, but
it was also an audition. Some Democratic Party activists came
to see him. Follow Newsom from stop to stop. One
guy wants to be an intern. He was asking about
intern opportunities. Oh. Absolutely, we're excited, said the Democratic Party
(32:59):
chair Christale Spain. He's on the national stage fighting against
Trump all the time. I think voters here appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
A ah.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
But what's going to happen when he does announce that
he's running for president. Is anybody going to say, excuse me,
mister governor? When you were asked so many times if
you were running for president on these campaign stops, including
South Carolina, you laughed and you're like, God, stop, you guys,
just stop. It's enough. Well, what do you say next?
So you are lying?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Sociopaths don't care that they lie. It'll make some a
little quip, little funny comment and change the subject. He
knows he's lying, of course, he knows.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
We all know.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Everybody knows. So just come out and say you know
what I mean Again, I would respect him so much
more if he said, you know what, I'm testing the waters.
I may I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm
thinking about it. Why doesn't he just say that?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Really he's I guess, I guess he's afraid. Once you announced,
then he's.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
Not announcing I'm testing the waters I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
He'd have to tell the truth. I don't think he's
capable of telling the truth. I think something catches in
his throat every time he's about to say something truthful.
He is one weird guy, really strange. I don't know
what happened in his childhood. Maybe he was born sociopathic.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
But he's handsome.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, and that's going to get him vote. Yeah. More
coming up, We're going to talk to Tony Strickland. Who
is he?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
And other Republicans are trying to get the gas prices lowered,
but the Democratic legislature knew, some keep blocking it, and
nobody in South Carolina. I guess they wouldn't know that
we're paying almost five bucks a gallon here, but they're
paying all those people in South Carolina are paying too
eighty a gallon. We're paying five Deborah Marks live the
(35:01):
KFI twenty for our 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're on every day from one till four o'clock. After
four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the iHeart app,
and you can listen to what you missed one o'clock hour.
You should be listening to because I go into what
I think is the truth about what's going on with
the Palisades and Bass and Newsom. I don't think Bass
(00:24):
has any intention of releasing more than a few permits.
They don't want Palisades rebuilt by the people who used
to live there. They wanted to be low income housing.
And Gavin Newsom announced just last night one hundred and
one million dollars available for a low income housing project. Meantime,
(00:45):
the homeowners can't get permits. Talk more about that later,
Talk more about that this hour. Gavin Newsom is the
center of what we're going to discuss this hollar. We
have Katie Grimes on from californiaglobe dot com. Katie, how
are you.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Hey, John? I'm well, how are you?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I'm all right?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
We got a lot to cover here. The first thing
I want to get into is the Gavin Knewso press
conference on Monday to talk about the six month anniversary
of the fire. Did Karen Bass ever make it to
that press conference?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
No, she did not. She was fighting off ice at MacArthur.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Park, right.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
That's That's what I realized, is like she never got there.
You know, she was yelling and screaming at the ice agents.
So it looks like, I mean, I'm reading your story
and he presented this as major progress has been made
with the fire cleaner.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, talk about that was what was he doing?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Well, that's I mean, your guess is as good as mine, because,
as I described in today's story, what he said was
just like talking incursive. He was claiming that government had
moved at the speed of need and it's the most
world historical cleanup that's ever happened. And I'm thinking, could
(02:07):
anybody at this press conference possibly believe the garbage coming
out of his mouth? Because at the same time he
was speaking, so was gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton live in
front of a pile of debris in Pacific Palisades and
with cameras, you know, going all around him showing you
what it really looked like. So this was like a
(02:29):
really bad headfake.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I go to the Palisades every week. I live right
next door. It's still a disaster area. The Army Corps
of Engineers, the federal government has cleaned up a lot
of the residential lots, a lot of the business areas
are still a disaster, and there's these crumbling, burnt shells.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Of what used to be buildings. It's ugly, it's really awful.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
And the homes it's all vacant lots, and the people
there can't get permits from BASS to start the reconstruction.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Yeah, exactly. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know what
it's going to take to get mayor baths to start
issuing permits. It seems to me like some legal action
needs to happen. There's got to be some sort of
a class action lawsuit against the LA and the state.
I don't know, because this is absolutely stunning. As you said,
(03:24):
I took a picture five months ago when I was
there in February of this burnt out shell of a
building which you could tell had been a really pretty building,
and a friend of mine who was there yesterday at
the press conferences, took a photo sent it to me
and I went, that's the same freaking building. Yeah, it's
just still such a disaster, and I'm kind of wondering, like,
(03:45):
where on earth is the media, Where is the LA
media screaming in Karen Bass's face every day wanting to
know why permits aren't being released.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We're getting continuous SOB stories about illegal aliens getting chased. Correct,
that's what's being take Yeah, that's what's being televised, a
carabass screaming at ICE officials. Now the fire has been
completely forgotten by by much of the media out here.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
No care y, that's evident. Yeah, And if they're big enough,
they're now traveling with Gavin to South Carolina for his
presidential campaign launch. I think the people who live in
Pacific Palisades and Altadena and Malibu, probably most of WM
voted for Governor Newsom two or three times to elections
(04:35):
in a recall, they're the ones that should feel the
most betrayed right now. And there's just got to be
a way to get to these people because they're the
ones that need to demand something happened, because nothing's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
It's over seven thousand buildings in the Palisades, another seven
thousand plus in Altadena and then Malibu. I think it's
sixteen thousand building's total, And it's a couple of hundred permits,
about one hundred in the Palisades, about one hundred in Altadena.
And somebody calculated at this rate, it's going to be
four hundred years before all the homes are rebuilt, literally
(05:12):
four hundred years. And the pace is not picked up
at all. It's as slow as it was in the
first month. So I'm saying, here's what I'm thinking. This
is on purpose, obviously, And is it possible, because you've
been writing about Scott Wiener's bill to allow low income
apartment buildings to be built in residential neighborhoods, is it
(05:34):
possible that they're dragging their feet on the permits so
that the homeowners get sick of the insurance companies, get
sick of the bureaucracy and sell out to developers. And
now Palisades is going to be a low income apartment paradise,
and so is Alta, Dina, and maybe Malibu too. Maybe
I'm think and that's the plan, that there's a reason
(05:55):
for all this.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
There's got to be a reason for all this.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, remember Gavin News pretty much said that like a
week after the fires took place, And what he was
saying is, you know, well, state law requires that, you know,
when we do any building now, no matter whether it's
rebuilding or new building, new construction. You know, so much
of it has to be low income housing, and so
much of you know, they have their formulas. Now I
(06:19):
agree with you. I think, uh, yeah, they're stalling for
a reason. No one is this incompetent.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
No one, It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
And if they yeah, we have Rick Caruso on yesterday,
and and and Rick has offered the Beast Administration this
this this AI software that reduces it's called plan check,
reduces it the wait for a permit from months to hours.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
He said they won't use it, of course not.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Of course not.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
It would make Yeah, it would. It would expose them
for what they are obviously a lot of gross incompetence.
But I do believe that there are orders coming down.
I'm from the top saying no, no building, and it
makes me wonder. I mean, I'm happy to do a
public records request. Anybody listening to this can do a
public records request of the Planning Office of the Mayor's
(07:12):
Office of all Communications, you know, going down between them.
I mean, we know how they react.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Rick Caruso didn't know why they didn't have one stop
shop office in the Palisades, in and out to Dina
for months and months now so people can come and
get everything processed in a matter of hours instead of
driving downtown to LA Can you hang on, well, go ahead, yeah,
go Aheadah, hang on, We'll continue this. I guess you
got to do the news. Deborah Mark. We're talking Katie
(07:39):
Grimes from californiaglobe dot com. I'm telling you something's up here.
This is not this is not this is not just incompetence.
This is on purpose. They don't want the Palisades rebuilt.
They don't want outa Dina rebuilt. What they want is
low income apartment towers.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Let's continue with Katie Grimes from californiaglobe dot com about
Newsom's media event on Monday, which was really a kickoff
to his presidential campaign because he was in South Carolina yesterday.
And one thing that you wrote about at californiaglobe dot
com is all these Democratic politicians who showed up not
(08:24):
to talk about the fire recovery, but to praise Newsome,
and then twenty four hours later he's in South Carolina
holding court. So this sounded like a kickoff event.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Oh yeah, I sure did.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It was.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
As I said in the article, the fire recovery was
totally secondary to this LoveFest that Democrat politicians from southern
California had for Gavin Newsom. It was absolutely syrapy disgusting
the stuff they said. You could tell each of them
was going to be using their own clips for their
(09:00):
own re elections. Also, I mean it was just just gross.
It was embarrassing. I mean, these people are They're not
good at political theater.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And you have Padilla was there.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Last time I saw Alex Pdea, the Senator, he was
faced down on the ground and handcuffed, and now he
bounced back up to worship Newsom for his tirelessness with
the fire recovery. Honest to god, I can't think of
a single thing in the last five and a half
months that Newsom has done about fire recovery.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
I have not at all. Yeah, I totally agree with you,
And this is after Gavin Newsom promised a Marshall plan
to rebuild, rebuild the fire areas. No, there was nothing
tirelessness about Gavin Newsom's help with the fire recovery. And
I think it just goes to show you that this
(09:54):
was all just gratuitous pimping of Gavin Newsom for the
presidential election.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Brad Sherman, the congressman, thank Newsom so much for his
pre planning ahead of the fire pre planning.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Uh huh, we were caught completely.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Right, Yeah, I do believe it was an empty.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Reservoir, correct, Yeah, yeah, yeah, he didn't fill the reservoir.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
What what? What was it? What was going on here?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Were they all smoking crack? I'm reading these quotes in
your story. It's like this, this, this can't be real.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I know.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
And that's what it felt like having to watch it.
And it was pretty evident very early on that this
was so not about fire recovery. It just happened to
fall on the six month anniversary. So Gavin and his
pr Flax decided to create a real launching event of
the world renowned governor from California.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Jennifer Cybel Newsom, his wife, gave her speech in Spanish.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yes, very practiced Spanish, So we don't know what it
was about. Nope, not a word, you know, I speak
a little, but uh no it was and it was
so inappropriate. I mean, frankly, everything these people said. You
go from from Representative Judy Chu, who is useless as
(11:25):
teeth on a wild boar, thanking Newsom for his incredibly
strong and unwavering leadership. Those are not the words most
people would think of when describing, for you know, describing
Gavin Newsom and Brad Sherman just you know, fawning all
over Gavin Newsom. All they're thinking is, oh, what can
I get out of this guy when he's president?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
And Pada said, actually, Sherman said, he he's got a
great partner in Padia.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But what was that about. I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I don't Yeah, I don't even know what they were
talking about. Yeah, it's well. And what was so bizarre
is that he's saying I could not have a better
partner than Senator Alex Padilla, who had complimented the first
partner most most women married to politicians are like the
first lady. As he's doing the big handoff of the
(12:19):
mic to missus Newsome just cause people are so awkward,
they're so bizarre, and they are the freakiest freaks.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Among us meantime.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I mean I had quite a few friends lose their
homes in the Palisades. Yeah, and everybody is if frustrated, exhausted,
beside themselves and they can't get an answer from anybody
on how to get their home rebuilt. And I saw
the coverage of this press event, this kickoff to his campaign,
(12:49):
and I am livid.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
And I was two three miles away from the fire.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I cannot imagine how the people, not only the Palisades,
but out Deadan and Malibu are feeling watching this nonsense, absolute.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Nonsense, And nobody can get a permit.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
If they would hit out the permits, everybody would build
their home and move on with their life. But they're stuck.
And you got this corrupt insurance industry. They can't get
a dollar out of the insurance companies. Know some's not
doing anything about that. This is this is torture.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
This is cruel, Yeah, it is. It is stunning what's
going on. And I cannot believe that the people who
have been burned out of their homes, I can't believe
what they're going through. They're reliving this every day, every
time they get stalled or rejected. It's you can't help
but feel that this was planned, that this outcome, because
(13:43):
they don't plan for any other outcomes. All they do
is talk talk, talk, and hold meetings and sign bills
and appropriate funds without any outcome planned.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
When I saw this morning that the headline was Newsome
devoting one hundred and one million dollars to rebuild a
ford housing in the Palisades. When I first saw it,
I actually checked the internet because I thought it was
a fake story.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I thought I thought it.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Was because it was it was from a small publication
that I wasn't familiar with, and I said, all right,
this is some partisan rag thing. This is uh uh sattire.
It can't be real. And I'm finding out it's all
over the place.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
It is real.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
One hundred million dollars. It's the only announcement that I've
seen in the last five and a half months regarding
rebuilding in the Palisades from him, I haven't seen anything else. Yeah,
first thing out of his mouth is one hundred million
for affordable housing.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
And there is no such thing as affordable housing in
Los Angeles anywhere there's no such thing as affordable housing
in California. It can't be done. So the taxpayers are
on the hook for building the bulk of whatever happens,
you know, if it's in fact going to be you know,
affordable housing high rises.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
All right, Katie Grimes, keep on top of this guy.
I know you will, And I'm going to californiglobe dot com,
Katie Grimes reader all the time we come back. All right,
we're gonna play your clips of Newsom at his basically
his presidential kickoff event in South Carolina coming up next.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty Oh.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
I have mentioned eight seven seven Moist eighty six the
Moistline eight seven seven Moist d eighty six. Apparently are
Karen bass activity on the Moistline this week? From what
I understand, I think Friday is going to be most entertaining.
Oh yeah, yeah, but you can always get in. We're
always looking for something even better. Eight seven seven Moist
eighty six or usually talkback featured on the iHeartRadio app.
(15:45):
All right, So Gavin Newsom has officially abandoned California, his
his his, his time as governor is over as of yesterday,
July the eighth, twenty twenty five, because he went to
South Carolina and started campaigning and politicking to become the
(16:06):
Democratic presidential nominee. South Carolina has one of the earliest primaries.
South Carolina is the reason that Joe Biden became president
because he had done very poorly in the first couple
of primaries, and he won big in South Carolina and
blew away all the other competitors in twenty twenty like
Deep Boota Jedge and Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
And now Newsom is zeroing in.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
I'm gonna play Eclipse and he you know, the thing
is a lot of some of these things. They sound
familiar to us because we've endured him for so many years.
But remember this is all fresh to the ears of
voters in South Carolina. Uh let's let's let's start with
Newsom in Kershaw County, South Carolina.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
It's been an extraordinary today and in my state.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
And I mind is filled with gratitude and appreciation, barticularly
for all of you showing up tonight. I mean, this
was supposed to be this was the last minute thing,
and I said, we'll just throw it together. But don't
you know, we're in some rural parts of South.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Carolina, so don't don't expect many people.
Speaker 6 (17:11):
So what you guys obviously didn't get that money.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
I'm just deeply grateful to all of you.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
He just had to fly to rural South Carolina. He
still would admit he's running for president. I mean, he's
just such such a jerk.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Why would you fly to rural South Carolina and book
some book an event at the last minute in Kershaw
County wherever the hell that is. You want to know
the population of Kershaw County, Yes, I do, sixty four
and three as of the twenty twenty census, sixty five thousand.
That's a couple of blocks in La.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
So he flies three thousand miles there three and a
half years ahead of the election and leaves behind ruins
in the Palisades, ruins and now to Dina, ruins in Malibu,
rioting in Los Angeles. Hell in San Francisco is still
filled with homeless people, mental patients, and drug addicts, as
well as downtown LA as well as Sacramento and many
(18:13):
other cities, leaving behind potentially eight dollars a gallon gas.
I still can't believe he's going to be running for president.
If the gas hits eight dollars, it's effect. What is
the well, I'll find it out during the commercial break
what the gas price is in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Right now, let's all right. He continues here, same speech,
and he starts talking about book banning of all things.
Speaker 6 (18:40):
But I want to pick up a little bit on
the Congressman said, because I was struck by what he
said about the book band. So I was struck what
he said about some of the challenges and struggles that
he continues.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
To face with his colleagues in Washington, DC. But on
the book bands, I think it's sort of emblematic in
the moment we're in. You know, last year there were
four thousand, two hundred and forty books ban in the
United States America forty two and forty. You can look
that up. It was a banning manage the likes of
which we've never experienced in the United States. There's been
a cultural purge in this country. The Congressman was exactly right.
(19:14):
They tried to write out the.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Race of Rosa parks in the anti woke legislation states
like Florida, until they were caught doing that.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
One of the.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Largest book publishers in United States America actually drafted that
social studies book for their.
Speaker 5 (19:31):
Curriculum in Florida. Their banning speech in classrooms, but also
in the boardrooms. D I E. SG, CRT anything with
three letters. They's seeing the.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
Man duj They got a problem with that FIDA and
it's still in the l likes.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
So we've got the fires, we got the riots, we
got millions of legal aliens.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
He has.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
The budget is tripled from one hundred billion to over
three hundred billion in this state eight dollars a gallon gas,
record high real estate prices, record high cost of living,
record high poverty, the worst poverty in the country, and
he is campaigning over book banning in South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I feel like I've gone insane. I feel like I
wake up every day and I literally do not understand
what's going on in front of me.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I don't understand what people are doing and what people
are saying. Why is he in South Carolina when this
place has gone to hell and the people in the
Palisades and now Deadana can't get permits for their homes.
He promised everything was going to be streamlined, everything was
gonna be fast. He's in South Carolina complaining about book banning.
Who is worried about book banning?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Really?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Who was the last time he ran into somebody's said,
I can't believe all the books.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
They're bad?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What books? What are you talking about? You know what
the price gas is in South Carolina? Two dollars and
eighty cents. Two dollars and eighty cents. In my neighborhood,
it's four eighty. So every time I fill up, it
cost me an extra forty bucks every week, every week,
an extra forty bucks, fifty two weeks a year.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
That's over two.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Thousand dollars that I'm spending on gas, entirely his fault.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And he's talking about book banning. All right, here's uh,
here's more. And he says Republicans want to go back
to pre nineteen sixties America.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
What we're experiencing is America in reverse. I'm trying to
bring us back to a green nineteen sixties.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
On voting rights, yeahl civil rights, LGBTQ rights, wayman's rights.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Yeah, and not just you know, access to abortion.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
But also access to simple reprod carey.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
He saw what they just did to planned parent.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, who's going yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, the hell are
you talking about?
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah yeah yeah, why play some more?
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Yeah yeah. It's a moment that few of us could
have imagined. And I know we were concerned about this moment.
We were out there campaign expressing concern about this moment.
I come from a small state on the West coast.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
In state.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
They think that's funny.
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Our state of mind pretty simple. We're the most untrumped
state in America.
Speaker 7 (22:48):
We got pretty gas that.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Give me and not a little secret.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
I'm not his favorite politician, No Fox News, a lot
of American news or newsbacks.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Or any other network state player. I mean, it's us. Yeah,
why the hell would you and me? But that's because
we stand tall for our lives. That's definitely which we
think are universal.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Record number of homeless people, record number of people on welfare.
Speaker 7 (23:21):
So why isn't somebody saying, excuse me, uh, mister governor,
can we go back to California? Record gas prices, homeless situation.
Do we know how the Palisades fire started?
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Yet?
Speaker 7 (23:34):
Uh hmm? Why are you here when you have so
many problems in California?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
They were laughing at him.
Speaker 7 (23:43):
Nobody asks that question.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I know, I don't understand it.
Speaker 7 (23:47):
Are those questions?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Yeah, there were a lot of questions you had there.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Oh I have more, you have more? I I really,
I don't. I don't get it.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
I think we should send you to follow him around.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
I would, you know what, Please, let's.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Know that I think we got to do something like
that because I would ask.
Speaker 7 (24:04):
Him those questions. And then you know, when the reporters say,
are you running for president?
Speaker 1 (24:09):
He laughs and he you know that that's a campaign round. Yeah,
of course it is. We all know that.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
Yeah, don't insult our intelligence.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Honestly, he doesn't discuss the record homeless. He doesn't discuss
the record poverty. We have disastrous school systems in La
LA unified, seventy five percent of the kids graduate and
they can't do math and they can't read.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
No, his platform is I'm the anti Trump.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
By time he becomes president, he's not going to run
against Trump.
Speaker 7 (24:42):
We'll be Vance, We'll be Dvance.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
But Vance is not Trump. Vances that it's going to have.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
The same platform as Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, but not the Trump baggage and personality, all the
things that make people crazy. Vance is not going to
make people crazy in the same way he could, and
Trump is a unique beacies. All right, we got a
couple of more of these coming up. Oh my god,
but Banning, you're listening.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
To John Cobels on demand from KFI A sixty.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
We are going to try to stay in reality here
after three o'clock. State Senator Tony Strickland from Hunting to Beach.
Republicans keep introducing bills to stop the massive gas tax increase,
and the Democrats and Newsom keeps shooting it down. You know,
(25:34):
we got the low carbon fuel standard that's supposed to
go to effect, that could be a sixty five cent
per gallon gas increase. We've got two We've got two
oil refineries closing down, one here in Los Angeles, one
in Valero over the next year and a half. That
could send prices to eight dollars a gallon. And then,
(25:55):
as we reported a couple of weeks ago, the oil
companies are telling Newsom that they have so little oil
in the pipeline that the pipeline may shut down and
then the prices might go to ten dollars a gallon.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
But you wouldn't know it from listening to Newsoman in South.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Carolina, where he started his presidential campaign yesterday, Kershawk County,
South Carolina, sixty five thousand people, where gas goes for
two to eighty a gallon, and they don't have any
homeless people, and they don't have a fire that burned
down a big section of the county. And here he
(26:37):
is talking about how diverse California is.
Speaker 5 (26:43):
I represent the most diverse state in the world's most
diverse departments.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
It's interesting twenty seven percent of California's are four and four.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
I don't think the majority of minority state. We don't
tolerate our diversity, our best, we celebrate.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
We're murdering there so fun.
Speaker 5 (27:04):
Let's say that I say that till does you need
to say that. Yeah, it's no longer table stakes. You
can't take things for granting. That's right.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
What table steaks does that mean?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
I don't know. I was gonna ask you.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
How I know.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I'd never heard that phrase. I thought, maybe you have
table steaks? Is that dinner?
Speaker 7 (27:26):
He's meeting the moment with some of these things by steaks.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I know, table stakes? Uh, twenty seven percent of foreign
point these are illegal aliens who.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Cost this thirty five billion dollars a year in taxes.
Thirty five billion dollars a year go to illegal alien services,
including another twelve and a half billion for healthcare twelve
and a half billion.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Of course, you know he doesn't talk about that.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
How he ended up with a twelve billion dollar deficit
which almost exactly matched the money we're blowing on illegal
alien healthcare, which you know it's somebody somebody pointed out
if Trump at Homan are successful in clearing out a
lot of illegal aliens, and a lot of it's going
to be through self deportation, that's why they put on
(28:18):
that big show in MacArthur Park.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
It is to scare people. It's like, you know, it's
time to go home.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
You imagine you're living in a country for years and
years illegally, and now you see they've got ice agents
and the Marines and the National Guard. You're thinking, you
know what, I guess party's over. I guess I pushed
it as far as it can go. I'm here illegally.
They don't want to put up with it anymore. And
a lot of people are going.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
To go home.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
And that's an extra twelve billion dollars in tax money
that ought to be given up back to us as
a rebate.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Why are we spending thirty five billion? Thirty five billion
is more than ten percent of the budget. We should
get ten percent of our tax money back. Instead, he's
bragging about it in South Carolina and call at diversity man.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
What the f.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Who asked for diversity that we got to pay thirty
five billion for thirty five billion dollars? You'd go look
it up. Federation for American Immigration Reform did a study
a couple of years ago. At the time, it was
about twenty two billion dollars. This was before legal alien healthcare,
(29:24):
which added another twelve and a half billion, So it's
about thirty five billion. That's a real number. That's more
than ten percent of our budget.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Who wants that.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
For? What?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
More of newsome?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
All right, so he was he was talking about book
banning a few years ago, and now he's talking about
interracial marriage, which is not a controversial topic anymore.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
We're talking about Congressman's birthday. My birthday was nineteen sixty seven,
and it's interesting.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
I was sharing this a moment ago because some of
my young staff don't even remember this.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Everything weren't around, but it wasn't the black.
Speaker 6 (30:04):
I mean may have been in the black, but it
was you know, there was some color one just black
and white movies.
Speaker 5 (30:09):
Nineteen year of my birth in South Carolina, black student
Mary whites.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
In my lifetime, some we take a brand of sixteen
states deny inter racial marriage.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
So someone by the day Richard loving him, he said,
two manage the words I do. It's a Mildred Jeter.
Speaker 6 (30:26):
But I had the courage not to give in to
a sentence where he was sentenced to one year in prison.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
And you remember the sentence the lower court judge said
to the couple, they said, God, sir, and I say
this with love and respect.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
So God, sir, God put different races on different continents
for a reason.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
God never wanted the races to mix. A paraphrased the lower.
Speaker 6 (30:51):
Court decision, he said, the one year prisoner was calling
him out in Virginia.
Speaker 5 (30:55):
But the difference was.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That is he picking up like one one of those
like preacher kind of cadences in his speech.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Well the responses are kind of yeah, like a little
loads of a Southern accent there, like he's suddenly a pastor.
Listen to this.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Jim Clyburn is the congressman. He's in his eighties in
South Carolina. He welcomed Newsom. Clyburn was the guy who
endorsed Biden to get him rolling in the presidential race
in twenty twenty. Let me read you first paragraph from
politico dot com about this event. Gavin Newsom sweated through
(31:35):
his shirt. I didn't think he could sweat. Quoted from Corinthians,
He's quoting the Bible in front of.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
The black church, growing, church going.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Crowd that he's speaking to you think Gavin Newsom reads
the Bible seriously and he railed against a Trump as
he blitzed across this early primary state and in this
small city northeast of Columbia, Camden, South Carolina. Newsomb grinned
sheepishly as Clyburn introduced him as one of these candidates
(32:14):
that are running for president. He was introduced as a
guy running for president. It's no secret, Clyburn told reporters.
I feel good about his chances. And the trip is
officially built by Newsom's team. The professional liars that he
(32:37):
was just supporting local Democrats and disaster torn communities, but
it was also an audition. Some Democratic Party activists came
to see him. Follow Newsom from stop to stop. One
guy wants to be an intern. He was asking about
intern opportunities. Oh. Absolutely, we're excited, said the Democratic Party
(32:59):
chair Christale Spain. He's on the national stage fighting against
Trump all the time. I think voters here appreciate that.
Speaker 5 (33:08):
A ah.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
But what's going to happen when he does announce that
he's running for president. Is anybody going to say, excuse me,
mister governor? When you were asked so many times if
you were running for president on these campaign stops, including
South Carolina, you laughed and you're like, God, stop, you guys,
just stop. It's enough. Well, what do you say next?
So you are lying?
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Sociopaths don't care that they lie. It'll make some a
little quip, little funny comment and change the subject. He
knows he's lying, of course, he knows.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
We all know.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
Everybody knows. So just come out and say you know
what I mean Again, I would respect him so much
more if he said, you know what, I'm testing the waters.
I may I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I'm
thinking about it. Why doesn't he just say that?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Really he's I guess, I guess he's afraid. Once you announced,
then he's.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
Not announcing I'm testing the waters I'm thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
He'd have to tell the truth. I don't think he's
capable of telling the truth. I think something catches in
his throat every time he's about to say something truthful.
He is one weird guy, really strange. I don't know
what happened in his childhood. Maybe he was born sociopathic.
Speaker 7 (34:30):
But he's handsome.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, and that's going to get him vote. Yeah. More
coming up, We're going to talk to Tony Strickland. Who
is he?
Speaker 2 (34:40):
And other Republicans are trying to get the gas prices lowered,
but the Democratic legislature knew, some keep blocking it, and
nobody in South Carolina. I guess they wouldn't know that
we're paying almost five bucks a gallon here, but they're
paying all those people in South Carolina are paying too
eighty a gallon. We're paying five Deborah Marks live the
