Can I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
John Cobelt Show continues Welcome. We're on every day from
one until four o'clock and every day after four o'clock.
The podcast John Cobelt Show on Demand is available on
the iHeart app and so you can listen to it later.
You can listen to it all weekend long. It's been
(00:22):
a jam packed, busy show full of all kinds of
breaking news, not the least of which is that Sean
Diddy Combs finally got sentenced by a federal judge in
New York City. The sentencing hearing went on for quite
a while this morning, with the defense making arguments the
prosecution as to how long the sentence should be. The
(00:43):
probation department had an opinion as well, and finally the
judge issued the ruling. And we're going to talk now
to Laura Angele from news station Cable TV News Channel.
It's really good and Laura always does a great job
covering these court cases, and she's been covering a lot
of the ditty mass. Laura, tell us what happened.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Today, a John, Well, it has been a very emotional
day here at Federal Court. I sit here outside of
five hundred Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan, where we still
have a lot of people gathered around the courthouse. I
think people were hopeful that we were going to hear
from some of the attorneys. That hasn't happened yet. We
just watched Shawn Colmbe's family leave and get into the
(01:26):
Sprinter vans and be taken away. Obviously very disappointed, as
we know, after this eight week trial that happened over
the summer and the charges that he was facing. He
could have got twenty years in federal prison, and that
was the maximum. The prosecution in the case said that
they wanted eleven years and a couple of months, and
(01:47):
the defense said, how about fourteen months basically time served.
That's how long he's already been locked up at the MDC.
And then we had hours today of family members and
Shawn colmb's attorneys asking for leniency, begging the judge for mercy,
asking them asking him to just let him leave and
(02:09):
go out into the public and do good things, and
that he's better off helping people outside of prison. But
that was not how this went down. The judge in
the case gave him fifty months or four years and
two months for his conviction on the accounts of transportation
to engage in prostitutions.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
John.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What was also remarkable in this, the judge noted in
is sentencing after all of you know, you say that
you're remorseful, you say that you're so sorry, you say
that you know, gosh, you won't do it again. He said,
you know, as I sentence you to these fifty months,
what strikes me is that you say you're remorseful and
you won't do it again. And you were rated with
(02:50):
search warrants in twenty twenty three, but in June of
twenty twenty four, even after authorities executed those search warrants,
you brutally assaulted Jane, the woman known as Jane, and
he read excerpts of her testimony from the trial about
a hotel night in question that was really, really brutal,
and he said, you know, you say that you're sorry,
but then you did this, so I can't you know,
(03:12):
this just isn't going to happen.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
You're gonna have to do some time here.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
He had written an apology to the judge the night before,
groveling apology just begging for leniency.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
He did. He wrote.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It was four pages long and it talked about how
remorseful he was. He owned up to all that he
had been accused of in terms of you know, look
that you can't get around that video that we've all
seen at the Internet Continental Hotel with Cassie Ventura, his ex,
which he has seen brutally assaulting her, dragging her to
the floor and kicking her and punching her. That happened
(03:46):
years ago, and that tape was leaked and he's, you know,
he's busted there. And he talked about that, saying that
he owns that domestic violence assault, that it's something that
he has to live with each and every day and
he is deeply remorseful for it. But if given the
chance to do good in the world, he would and
really begging him saying, it's not for me to be out.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I'm asking for.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
My children, my seven children. Please let me be a
father to them. Please let me be with my mother
who's aging. And you know, he did take that into consideration.
He read the letter, he said he did, he listened
to and then there was there was the eleven minute
video that was played for the judge kind of you know,
the greatest hits of the good things that Sean Palm
(04:26):
has done and his wife, being a father to his children,
you know, working for charities, spending time with his former
the mother of his four of his children, kim Porter and.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
All of that.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
When it was said and done, just you know, I'm
not really sure if it did anything to reduce the Well,
we don't know if the judge had something more or
less than the fifty months. But the legal experts that
we've been talking here that know the Southern District court
system say the chances are the judge that was the
sentence that he had.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Come up with, and he was going to stickless when.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He walked into today and just let everybody have their say.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
The prosecution said that did he actually had speaking engagements
booked for next week? He was so confident he was
going to get probation for the rest of his term.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
He did.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
He did, and they said that he had speaking engagements
next week in Miami and that he had several of
them lined up. And when the defense got up to
talk about that, he said, they said, look, he needed
to have something to do if he walked out today
and these weren't speaking engagements. There were more learning opportunities
(05:35):
that were teaching opportunities for him to talk to people
to you know, not do bad things and to stay
out of jail and.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Don't want a prostitution ring. Is that what he needs
to teach the world?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yep, yep, that's something that he was going to go
out and there there was a group and I actually
reached out to the group that I'm trying to pull
up the name of. You know, it's several groups.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
It's not just one.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It was a couple of groups that works with foreman prisoners.
And that's what he was scheduled to do.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
And of course he's not going to do it now.
Well maybe if he does, he'll do it on remote.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
But now he goes back to the NBC, one of
the most notorious lockups in New York. If that's where
he will stay, nobody knows. Because the judge asked the defense,
do you have somewhere now that he's been sentenced, I
will take him to consideration where you would like for
him to go, and they said that they would get
back to him on that.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
So it's unclear.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Where Shawn Combs will be spending these fifteen months.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
In lock up.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
And he also by the way, the judge talked to
Shancahm's family sitting in the audience, his mother and his
adult children, saying, I know that this is hard, but
you will be okay. There is a light at the
end of the tunnel. You know, you will lift him
up as he moves through this sentence. And of course
he has already served fourteen months, so he just said basically,
(06:59):
good luck. And this was a lot of people think
that a lot of people in the legal community here
in New York think that he has the attorney's I
just interviewed Arthur Idella and he said, if I'm on
defense attorney and you got fifty months, when he could
have actually gotten life to begin with. Was if he
has been charged, if he's been convicted on all of
the charges, and then he could have gotten twenty years,
(07:22):
and now we're down to fifteen months. He said, I'm celebrating.
This is good news for team of Palms.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All Right, Laura, thanks very much for all the coverage
you did for us.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Absolutely thanks for having me as always.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
John.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
All Right, Laura Angel from News Nation on your cable
TV system. It's a good news network. When we come back. Oh,
we get the Moistline. Two runs of the Moistline today two, three,
twenty and three point fifty as always on a Friday,
and that's next.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
We're going to do Moistline in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
How many how many criminal members of the Burbank Unified
Board can be serving at the same time, Like, how
many crooks are on the Burbank school Board right now? Well, actually,
over the summer there were two. If you believe all
the charges. There's a school board a member named Charlene Tabitt.
(08:26):
She was on the Burbank board. And what she did
is she funneled ninety three thousand dollars of your tax
money if you're in Burbank, funneled ninety three grand to
a company registered to her daughter. Actually the money went
from her daughter to Charlene's own bank account. So some
(08:50):
kind of money laundering thing there. You the taxpayers here
in Burbank, you work all day, money goes to the
city Charlene Tabot and her daughter. Contracts are written up
with her daughter's company and then Charlene gives the approval,
her daughter can get ninety three grand, and then the
(09:11):
money looks like it gets rooted to Charlene. How about
that the actual work that Charlene's daughter's company did was
estimated to be worth twenty five hundred dollars, be because
she got ninety three thousand. Then it turns out the
Burbank superintendent, John Piramo resigned the day the embezzlement story
(09:37):
came to light. Superintendent. Oh so he's not on the board,
he's the actual superintendent. The hell, what's going on here?
There's criminals everywhere. And by the way, this is what
I'm talking about. This is what the head of the
VLASSA did, Right that, Licia Adams Callum funnel too million
(10:00):
dollars to her husband's nonprofit. But it wasn't called ambezzlement.
I don't know why. It seems like it's the same thing, right, Well,
maybe because it went to the nonprofit. And here Charlene
Tabot ended up getting some kind of kickback. Now, what
(10:23):
is the role of the superintendent, John Paramo? He apparently
helped facilitate the payment, and Paramo told one staff member
that Charlene Tabbot was having money troubles and this would
help her out. It would create red flags if they
hire her while she's a board member, so they would
create the contract with her daughter. This is how it's done.
(10:54):
This is how billions and billions of dollars disappear. It's
only ninety three thousand, right, small potatoes, But this is
how billions and billions of dollars disappear in homeless funding,
Billions of dollars disappear in high speed rail funding, you know,
billions of dollars disappear for green energy funding. It's all
the same scam. Let's go to the moistline. Eight seven
(11:17):
seven moist eating six, round number one.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Let's go, Andy Sean, thanks for calling the moistline. I'm
so excited to hear from you to baptime.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
Hey, John, just checking in from North Texas here, and
I just filled up my truck for two dollars and
fifty two cents a gallon California.
Speaker 10 (11:34):
You guys don't have to live this way.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
Hi, Devor Mark. I went on the picnic me and
my friends the other day and we were right next
to a bunch of your vegan friends. We've just said
high to them. Then we start cooking our pork chops,
our rib eyes, our pork ribs. When the smoke started
growing over it then and they were eating their tofu
(11:57):
sandwiches and take out man at us deb did they
do that?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
The distict thing is junk.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I don't say anything good about redistincting.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
Why haven't they done this?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Why haven't they done that? Because they don't.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
Get too about it.
Speaker 11 (12:12):
Okay, they don't carry.
Speaker 12 (12:14):
La City says they figured out where they got the money.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
Do not lay off any of these union people.
Speaker 9 (12:20):
My question is why isn't anyone asking where the hell
they get the money.
Speaker 12 (12:24):
I think a lot of those kids revolt.
Speaker 13 (12:26):
Because maybe it's just white guilty, because they're just guilty
because everything was handed to him. They have no idea
what it is to struggle, so they feel they struggle
for certain things that still feel needed or a sense
of purpose.
Speaker 14 (12:39):
The problem is is Trump is a businessman and he
knows how to run a business, which that's what the
government and the country is. They don't want him in
because they're taking all the money. They're scraping the friggin top,
if not digging to the bottom, and he's trying to
alleviate theft and loss.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
That on here.
Speaker 15 (12:58):
Totally understand.
Speaker 16 (12:58):
I think it's great that where going to roll backs
into the DEI, but there are also some rollbacks to
grooming standards that actually improved readiness amongst female and males,
marines and voters and whatnot. So I just feel like
some of it is also over political in the opposite direction.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Wow.
Speaker 17 (13:16):
I just heard on the show Karen Bass is going
to quote streamline the process for a model the convention center.
Then she says she's going to streamline the process for
the building permits too, and streamline the process to start
to have in the house is built back in the
palace age as well. Everybody in the media there are
trained seald. They're probably clapping their hands, going, you're great, car,
and you're great.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
We're going to vote for you again.
Speaker 17 (13:37):
People never learn, do you.
Speaker 14 (13:39):
Oh, they're devastating in sech.
Speaker 10 (13:42):
You've seen to the military.
Speaker 12 (13:44):
Oh, it ain't what we represent.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Man, he made me want to go back into military.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
By the time we got somebody was in his position whatever.
Speaker 12 (13:53):
By the time we got somebody who.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Was freaking up.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Heah, Man, they don't even respect us.
Speaker 18 (14:00):
How does the La Convention Center project get started so fast?
And the Palisades is still eighty percent not ready to go,
you know.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
With these stopping of the government and everything, and they left.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
All these people are fur long.
Speaker 19 (14:18):
Why don't we have it set up where the Congress
and the House representatives don't get paid until they get
this trained out.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
Why aren't they getting stopped from getting paid.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
Most of you're homeless are mentally ill. And Ronald Reagan
was the one who took away to all the mental institutions.
Why can't we just sing those back maybe with keep
the politicians from pocketing the funds, you know, that's what
they're doing with all these programs.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Well, Gavin Newsom has demolished this California playpoot.
Speaker 19 (14:49):
His different doctors and destructive behavior is out of control.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Well, it's about time Head said finally got it right,
finally said what needed to be said to this country.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I hope that this country is finally.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
Growing a set of again America.
Speaker 20 (15:06):
I live in island close to San Bernardino, and for
about the last year they were blasting the Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Theme song at that shopping center.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
That you're talking about where they are.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Playing the cats ounds now and Sanmandino really is a dub.
Speaker 11 (15:19):
Hey, Karen Dass. People don't want to come to Los
Angeles because it's dirty, dangerous, and born when they go
to convention. They want to go to Florida or Vegas
where they can have a good time and not worry
that somebody is going to kill them or they're going
to catch a disease or something.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
In this dub that's.
Speaker 13 (15:37):
Right, Recall and prosecute Laura, and we want all the
money back, and the same goes through baths and the.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Rest of them.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Please ask criminals, all criminals.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Well, there's a vegan story at the beginning of that, now,
all right, So yeah, the vegans are having their tofu
sandwiches at one table there in the park, and then
our listener there they're they're roasting all kinds of meats,
having a big barbecue, and some of the smoke wasts
over to the vegans.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
They get upset allegedly.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Now, now you don't see people eating steaks and pork
chops and things getting angry because they're the tofu chomping vegans.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Because it doesn't smell. But what's there to get upset about?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Your crowd is always angry and offended and stalking off
because Mike, the eaters keep to themselves, they're happy.
Speaker 21 (16:35):
They make fun of us. Number one. You do that
all the time, make fun of people that chop at
whole foods. And the vegans just want you need eaters
to stop murdering animals, But.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
The meat eaters can't do anything about the wind blowing
the smoke over.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
To the vegans.
Speaker 21 (16:51):
I'm not saying that I would have complained about that,
but John's asking me to explain, and I mean, look,
I don't really love the smell of bake, and there's.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
An angry group between the two. It's always the vegans
making the.
Speaker 21 (17:05):
Fuss because we're the ones that are upset that animals
are being murdered and you're eating them. That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Protein deficient.
Speaker 21 (17:14):
I'm not protein deficient. I have an annual physical I'm fine.
You're not fine, Well, that's true, I'm not, but I
have enough protein.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
All right, all right, another round of the moistline coming
up in twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Dever Mark live the can'tfe joan You're not fine? I
thought that was just going a little overboard.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
After four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app, listen to our number two. We feature today
a husband and wife directing and producing team, Ted Ballaker
and Courtney Ballacher, and they have a movie called The
Coddling of the American Mind. It's ninety minutes. It's on
all the streaming channels like Prime and Apple, and you
(18:09):
should watch it because it explains, from the point of
view of some of the students, the insanity that's consumed
these universities. All awoke progressive politics that poisoned so many
minds and created an incredible amount of emotional distress and
damage to the students. And it's all orchestrated by university
(18:29):
administrators and the professors. And you combine that with the
smartphone being introduced in twenty thirteen and social media, and
that whole generation just was sent into a terrible emotional
tail spin and they all got caught up in all
the nonsense that we've been chronicling over the years. It's
(18:49):
a fascinating movie that I saw this morning, and we
had the director on and the producer on and that's
Ted and Courtney Ballaker is based on a book called
The Coddling of the American Mind. You should read the book,
you should watch the movie, and you will have a much,
much clear understanding of what's going on in the world
(19:12):
and why this has happened. It is a cult. I've
always called it a cult. And that's not just the
rhetorical device. That's not hyperbole. It really was a cult.
Now we have a situation where in California you have
public officials who are urging people to interfere with ice,
(19:35):
and you also have like Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom. Newsom
is on national television trying to whip up anger against Ice.
Karen Bass is giving out rapid response numbers for this
Churl organization, which takes tens of millions of taxpayer money,
and they are constantly sending their troops in to create mayhem.
(19:57):
You know, they were part of the instigation of the
ice riots. There's that going on, and then you have
people who are trying to help with their own expertise.
If you go to the app store, you've been able
to buy ice block, and Apple's app store has been
carrying ice block and that's one of these crowdsourced app
(20:18):
where you can report sightings of ICE agents around the
country and then other people can see it and they
could go try to interfere, interfere or harm or kill
the ICE agents. And the Trump administration, the Attorney General
Pam Bondi, they called Apple up demanding they remove the
(20:43):
ice block app from the app store, and the company
did because this was all about intimidating and harming ICE agents.
It goes hand in hand with Newsom's anti mask law,
so that these ICE agents can be easily identified and
(21:04):
then docksed, and then they could be harassed and terrorized
at their homes as well as their families and their
kids and their neighbors, and eventually, you know people are
going to get shot. Well, hey, what happened in Texas?
You had one of these goons get riled up and
started shooting at ICE agents, except he ended up killing
two illegal aliens and so on. The front lines have
(21:27):
been Newsome and have been Karen Bass. By the way,
this is this is not covering the media. Now that
that that that law has been in effect for about
two weeks that ICE agents have to wear masks, has
it been enforced. Any ICE agent's been arrested, sighted disciplined
(21:52):
at all. No, a totally empty gesture by Newsom. But Ben,
he had press releases, press conference, he had other political
thugs gathered around him and activists, and it was a
big hoopla that he created, went on all the interview
shows and his goons on Twitter, and two weeks later,
(22:17):
there are no citations, no arrests. The law hasn't been enforced.
There hasn't been a single local or state law enforcement
official that has arrested a single ICE agent because it's unconstitutional,
so nobody's even trying. It was a complete joke, and
he knew it. The only ones who didn't know it
(22:40):
are the dumb ass reporters that work in media here
in Los Angeles, from here to Sacramento.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Every reporter who took this.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Story literally and presented literally as dumb as a box
of rocks. Unconstitutional, and the ICE agents have been flaunting
masks ever since with no penalty, and there never will
be a penalty anyway. Going back to the Ice block app,
so Apple was carrying this in their store. I think
(23:18):
Google may still be, and there's a lot of pressure
on Google to take it out of the Google Play Store.
The creator of the app is some probably some angry
rich kid. His name's josh Joshua Aaron, and he said,
capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move.
Ice Block is no different than crowdsourcing speed traps. No,
(23:44):
crowdsourcing speed traps just warns people not to speed. When
you have a crowdsourcing app to track ICE officers, it
leads ICE officers potentially to get shot at. There's a difference.
Somebody ought to tell this jerk. Ice Block was removed,
(24:06):
according to Apple, because its purpose was to provide about
was to provide location information about law enforcement that could
be used to harm such officers.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But Joshua Aaron is not said, well, this is protected
speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Well,
it might be protected speech to say, hey, looks like
the ICE agents are across the street, but you don't
have a First Amendment right to put it on an
app and sell it through the Apple system. If Apple
(24:41):
thinks it's actually they'd be facilitating a great danger to
law enforcement agents. They have every right to pull your
stupid app because all you want is terrorists and want
to be terrorists and rioters and troublemakers to harm the
ICE agents. That's what Joshua Aaron's purpose is. He added,
(25:04):
We're determined to fight this with everything we have. What
do you have, Well, maybe a bank account from your
your rich parents, and you can file a bunch of
lawsuits that will get thrown out of court. I don't
know what what you have exactly. Our mission has been
to protect our neighbors. We will not be deterred. We
will not be stopping your neighbors. You're not going to
(25:26):
protect them their law breakers, and ICE is law enforcement.
You make apps. I don't know what this is your
contribution to society. Would you be really happy if somebody
used your your stupid app and then killed an ICE agent?
(25:48):
Is that is? Would that be a reason to party
it was a successful hit crazy people? Well, anyway, at
least Apple did the right thing. And I don't know
what google situation is, but if you have an app
that helps crazy people kill law enforcement agents who are
(26:12):
enforcing the law, you're lucky you're not thrown in prison
in an authoritarian regime. If this really was an authoritarian regime,
you'd be thrown in prison.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
For that, and I wish it was this much.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Of a regime like that, and a guy like Joshu
or Aaron was locked up and put away.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
More coming up.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI six.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
We've got moistline coming up in a couple of minutes.
You know, you know it's funny. I mentioned this from
time to time. Apparently much of the public gets its
news from social media now, and some of it is
from traditional news sources, and some of it is just
(27:03):
random people, and you don't know what you're getting. My
wife sends me stuff all the time. And maybe you
could use this for your show. Maybe you could use
this for your show. And the thing is, I go
check it out, and it's truly is fake news. It's
not an insult, it's not news I disagree with. This
is news that is entirely made up. And there's so
much of that all over social media. And it explains
(27:25):
why people have some people have the nutting views they
do is because they're ingesting a lot of garbage. Of course,
if you use the traditional media sources, even if they
send it through social media, those things are horrifically woke
and biased.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And progressive and all that stuff. And there's yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Know, I always mentioned on a statewide basis Californiaglobe dot
com and on a local basis Westside Current dot com.
And we find ourselves using more stories from those two
sources because they have they're covering real news and they're
telling you the truth. And what I've noticed is people
(28:04):
I know who, let's say they're older, sixty, over sixty,
they still grouse about the media, the bias and the media,
and they still grouse about the network newscasts and this
and that. And I keep telling you it's like nobody's watching
them anymore because nobody believes them. You don't have to
worry about news media bias anymore. You really don't, because
it doesn't matter what sixty Minutes runs, it doesn't matter
what the CBS news runs. Nobody's watching and even fewer
(28:28):
are believing it. And to that point, Gallup just did
polling and they found out that America's Americans confidence in
mass media, mainstream media is now down to twenty eight percent.
Only twenty eight percent of the public expresses a great
(28:49):
deal or fair amount of trust in newspapers and television.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Now you have.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Seventy percent of adults say they have either not very
much confidence or none at all. Seventy percent have written
off all the networks, all the mainstream newspapers and news
sites in America seventy percent. When you break it down
(29:17):
according to parties, Republican confidence is down to eight percent.
Independent voters their confidence level twenty seven percent say I'm
almost three quarters of independent voters saying no, I don't
believe that. I don't trust that. Again, we're talking about
the major networks and the major newspapers, and even among
(29:39):
gullible left wing Democrats, only fifty one percent trust the media.
It's down to half. And those people are being served
what they already believe. Right, you have a progressive news
media and they're serving up progressives and liberals with the
(30:00):
kind of news that these people want to hear. So
their trust is still holding out. But everybody else has
left the party. And it's five years ago. It was
forty percent trust in TV and newspapers, then last year
(30:22):
thirty one percent, now twenty eight percent, and uh, hardly
hardly anybody's watching and hardly anybody's believing it. So if
you're one of those people, don't get worked up by
the media, the traditional mainstream news media. It's dead, had
(30:45):
its day. Chaos is replacing it. But don't worry about
the bias. The bias did the men. Let's play the
moistline round two.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Mann, Thanks for calling him. I'm so excited to hear
from you to BAP time.
Speaker 20 (31:03):
But what about all the tornadoes that Oklahoma has?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
I don't know if.
Speaker 10 (31:08):
I'd want to do that.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
And why is it that Karen Basi's voice is like
listening to fingernails scraping on a chalkboard. Every time I
hear it, I have to turn it off, that screeching
kind of Oh, just very pompous voice.
Speaker 19 (31:24):
Karen Bess opened her mouth and she lied. She says
she's going to fast track the construction on the convention Center.
Tell that to the people of Palisades. There shouldn't be
anything done to the convention Center until they're taken care of.
Speaker 20 (31:37):
Can we please follow the paper trail? Because two point
whatever billion dollars for the convention center unbelievable, and then
one hundred and one thousand dollars a year for a
bedroom a bed out of who they are they pulling
this money out of it? And who's is this money
going into. So it's nothing but fraudulents.
Speaker 18 (31:57):
That's only tax money.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
We can get more of it when you're not.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Looking one hundred and twenty four thousand for a bed
for a homeless person in a hotel. That's equals about
three hundred and fourteen dollars a night. For a little more,
I could get the room at the rich Calton.
Speaker 19 (32:18):
In regards to the LA Convention Center getting a baselift,
you know, they're going to steal that.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Money and nothing's going to get done.
Speaker 19 (32:26):
Maybe just the bare minimum. But like I said, they're
going to steal that money, and you people in La
are going to keep paid for that for thirty years.
Speaker 12 (32:35):
I thought that there's a program in the state of
Council and it's called From the Cradle to the Grave
that provides this medical services for illegal immigrants. I think
makes some modersister. We looked at that statement because it
comes straight.
Speaker 10 (32:50):
From our Governor Gavin Newson.
Speaker 20 (32:53):
A caaren Vash only pander to the stupid and the uninformed,
and that's the only people who book.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
For these idiots.
Speaker 10 (33:00):
I don't live in La County, but I do live
in the state of California.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
And all of our officials from the governor down.
Speaker 14 (33:07):
Everybody is worthless.
Speaker 10 (33:08):
We need somebody to stand up with something and take
charge of this state.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
You got to get for cal park lera upbreak kill
me makes one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 13 (33:19):
I mean he asked to steal our taxes to make
ends me.
Speaker 15 (33:24):
Listening to your report on Ricardo, Laura jumped in the
shower and I could have sworn you called the entertainer
person Kitty Litter. I laughed so hard my German shepherd
came rushing in to make sure I was okay.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
The answer is obvious.
Speaker 19 (33:39):
We need to get the insurance commissioner to free and
birth to save the taxpayers for all of his personal travel.
Speaker 22 (33:48):
I went into Los Angeles County Lancaster branch asking him
first Snap to help me out. I'm a retired disabled veteran.
They threw me out because I told them all their
allegal people are get money Medicaid and for food and everything,
and veterans get nothing.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
I just wonder how long California residents are going to
put up with the absolutely.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Awful leadership in California.
Speaker 15 (34:14):
It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 11 (34:15):
You cannot count on the leadership in California to take
care of you.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
All they care about is themselves.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 13 (34:23):
Please hang up goodbye.

The podcast John Cobelt Show on Demand is available on
the iHeart app and so you can listen to it later.
You can listen to it all weekend long. It's been
(00:22):
a jam packed, busy show full of all kinds of
breaking news, not the least of which is that Sean
Diddy Combs finally got sentenced by a federal judge in
New York City. The sentencing hearing went on for quite
a while this morning, with the defense making arguments the
prosecution as to how long the sentence should be. The
(00:43):
probation department had an opinion as well, and finally the
judge issued the ruling. And we're going to talk now
to Laura Angele from news station Cable TV News Channel.
It's really good and Laura always does a great job
covering these court cases, and she's been covering a lot
of the ditty mass. Laura, tell us what happened.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Today, a John, Well, it has been a very emotional
day here at Federal Court. I sit here outside of
five hundred Pearl Street in Lower Manhattan, where we still
have a lot of people gathered around the courthouse. I
think people were hopeful that we were going to hear
from some of the attorneys. That hasn't happened yet. We
just watched Shawn Colmbe's family leave and get into the
(01:26):
Sprinter vans and be taken away. Obviously very disappointed, as
we know, after this eight week trial that happened over
the summer and the charges that he was facing. He
could have got twenty years in federal prison, and that
was the maximum. The prosecution in the case said that
they wanted eleven years and a couple of months, and
(01:47):
the defense said, how about fourteen months basically time served.
That's how long he's already been locked up at the MDC.
And then we had hours today of family members and
Shawn colmb's attorneys asking for leniency, begging the judge for mercy,
asking them asking him to just let him leave and
(02:09):
go out into the public and do good things, and
that he's better off helping people outside of prison. But
that was not how this went down. The judge in
the case gave him fifty months or four years and
two months for his conviction on the accounts of transportation
to engage in prostitutions.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
John.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What was also remarkable in this, the judge noted in
is sentencing after all of you know, you say that
you're remorseful, you say that you're so sorry, you say
that you know, gosh, you won't do it again. He said,
you know, as I sentence you to these fifty months,
what strikes me is that you say you're remorseful and
you won't do it again. And you were rated with
(02:50):
search warrants in twenty twenty three, but in June of
twenty twenty four, even after authorities executed those search warrants,
you brutally assaulted Jane, the woman known as Jane, and
he read excerpts of her testimony from the trial about
a hotel night in question that was really, really brutal,
and he said, you know, you say that you're sorry,
but then you did this, so I can't you know,
(03:12):
this just isn't going to happen.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
You're gonna have to do some time here.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
He had written an apology to the judge the night before,
groveling apology just begging for leniency.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
He did. He wrote.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It was four pages long and it talked about how
remorseful he was. He owned up to all that he
had been accused of in terms of you know, look
that you can't get around that video that we've all
seen at the Internet Continental Hotel with Cassie Ventura, his ex,
which he has seen brutally assaulting her, dragging her to
the floor and kicking her and punching her. That happened
(03:46):
years ago, and that tape was leaked and he's, you know,
he's busted there. And he talked about that, saying that
he owns that domestic violence assault, that it's something that
he has to live with each and every day and
he is deeply remorseful for it. But if given the
chance to do good in the world, he would and
really begging him saying, it's not for me to be out.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I'm asking for.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
My children, my seven children. Please let me be a
father to them. Please let me be with my mother
who's aging. And you know, he did take that into consideration.
He read the letter, he said he did, he listened
to and then there was there was the eleven minute
video that was played for the judge kind of you know,
the greatest hits of the good things that Sean Palm
(04:26):
has done and his wife, being a father to his children,
you know, working for charities, spending time with his former
the mother of his four of his children, kim Porter and.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
All of that.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
When it was said and done, just you know, I'm
not really sure if it did anything to reduce the Well,
we don't know if the judge had something more or
less than the fifty months. But the legal experts that
we've been talking here that know the Southern District court
system say the chances are the judge that was the
sentence that he had.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Come up with, and he was going to stickless when.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
He walked into today and just let everybody have their say.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
The prosecution said that did he actually had speaking engagements
booked for next week? He was so confident he was
going to get probation for the rest of his term.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
He did.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
He did, and they said that he had speaking engagements
next week in Miami and that he had several of
them lined up. And when the defense got up to
talk about that, he said, they said, look, he needed
to have something to do if he walked out today
and these weren't speaking engagements. There were more learning opportunities
(05:35):
that were teaching opportunities for him to talk to people
to you know, not do bad things and to stay
out of jail and.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Don't want a prostitution ring. Is that what he needs
to teach the world?
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yep, yep, that's something that he was going to go
out and there there was a group and I actually
reached out to the group that I'm trying to pull
up the name of. You know, it's several groups.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
It's not just one.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
It was a couple of groups that works with foreman prisoners.
And that's what he was scheduled to do.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
And of course he's not going to do it now.
Well maybe if he does, he'll do it on remote.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
But now he goes back to the NBC, one of
the most notorious lockups in New York. If that's where
he will stay, nobody knows. Because the judge asked the defense,
do you have somewhere now that he's been sentenced, I
will take him to consideration where you would like for
him to go, and they said that they would get
back to him on that.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
So it's unclear.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Where Shawn Combs will be spending these fifteen months.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
In lock up.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
And he also by the way, the judge talked to
Shancahm's family sitting in the audience, his mother and his
adult children, saying, I know that this is hard, but
you will be okay. There is a light at the
end of the tunnel. You know, you will lift him
up as he moves through this sentence. And of course
he has already served fourteen months, so he just said basically,
(06:59):
good luck. And this was a lot of people think
that a lot of people in the legal community here
in New York think that he has the attorney's I
just interviewed Arthur Idella and he said, if I'm on
defense attorney and you got fifty months, when he could
have actually gotten life to begin with. Was if he
has been charged, if he's been convicted on all of
the charges, and then he could have gotten twenty years,
(07:22):
and now we're down to fifteen months. He said, I'm celebrating.
This is good news for team of Palms.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
All Right, Laura, thanks very much for all the coverage
you did for us.
Speaker 5 (07:31):
Absolutely thanks for having me as always.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
John.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
All Right, Laura Angel from News Nation on your cable
TV system. It's a good news network. When we come back. Oh,
we get the Moistline. Two runs of the Moistline today two, three,
twenty and three point fifty as always on a Friday,
and that's next.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
We're going to do Moistline in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
How many how many criminal members of the Burbank Unified
Board can be serving at the same time, Like, how
many crooks are on the Burbank school Board right now? Well, actually,
over the summer there were two. If you believe all
the charges. There's a school board a member named Charlene Tabitt.
(08:26):
She was on the Burbank board. And what she did
is she funneled ninety three thousand dollars of your tax
money if you're in Burbank, funneled ninety three grand to
a company registered to her daughter. Actually the money went
from her daughter to Charlene's own bank account. So some
(08:50):
kind of money laundering thing there. You the taxpayers here
in Burbank, you work all day, money goes to the
city Charlene Tabot and her daughter. Contracts are written up
with her daughter's company and then Charlene gives the approval,
her daughter can get ninety three grand, and then the
(09:11):
money looks like it gets rooted to Charlene. How about
that the actual work that Charlene's daughter's company did was
estimated to be worth twenty five hundred dollars, be because
she got ninety three thousand. Then it turns out the
Burbank superintendent, John Piramo resigned the day the embezzlement story
(09:37):
came to light. Superintendent. Oh so he's not on the board,
he's the actual superintendent. The hell, what's going on here?
There's criminals everywhere. And by the way, this is what
I'm talking about. This is what the head of the
VLASSA did, Right that, Licia Adams Callum funnel too million
(10:00):
dollars to her husband's nonprofit. But it wasn't called ambezzlement.
I don't know why. It seems like it's the same thing, right, Well,
maybe because it went to the nonprofit. And here Charlene
Tabot ended up getting some kind of kickback. Now, what
(10:23):
is the role of the superintendent, John Paramo? He apparently
helped facilitate the payment, and Paramo told one staff member
that Charlene Tabbot was having money troubles and this would
help her out. It would create red flags if they
hire her while she's a board member, so they would
create the contract with her daughter. This is how it's done.
(10:54):
This is how billions and billions of dollars disappear. It's
only ninety three thousand, right, small potatoes, But this is
how billions and billions of dollars disappear in homeless funding,
Billions of dollars disappear in high speed rail funding, you know,
billions of dollars disappear for green energy funding. It's all
the same scam. Let's go to the moistline. Eight seven
(11:17):
seven moist eating six, round number one.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Let's go, Andy Sean, thanks for calling the moistline. I'm
so excited to hear from you to baptime.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
Hey, John, just checking in from North Texas here, and
I just filled up my truck for two dollars and
fifty two cents a gallon California.
Speaker 10 (11:34):
You guys don't have to live this way.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
Hi, Devor Mark. I went on the picnic me and
my friends the other day and we were right next
to a bunch of your vegan friends. We've just said
high to them. Then we start cooking our pork chops,
our rib eyes, our pork ribs. When the smoke started
growing over it then and they were eating their tofu
(11:57):
sandwiches and take out man at us deb did they
do that?
Speaker 2 (12:01):
The distict thing is junk.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
I don't say anything good about redistincting.
Speaker 9 (12:06):
Why haven't they done this?
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Why haven't they done that? Because they don't.
Speaker 10 (12:10):
Get too about it.
Speaker 11 (12:12):
Okay, they don't carry.
Speaker 12 (12:14):
La City says they figured out where they got the money.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
Do not lay off any of these union people.
Speaker 9 (12:20):
My question is why isn't anyone asking where the hell
they get the money.
Speaker 12 (12:24):
I think a lot of those kids revolt.
Speaker 13 (12:26):
Because maybe it's just white guilty, because they're just guilty
because everything was handed to him. They have no idea
what it is to struggle, so they feel they struggle
for certain things that still feel needed or a sense
of purpose.
Speaker 14 (12:39):
The problem is is Trump is a businessman and he
knows how to run a business, which that's what the
government and the country is. They don't want him in
because they're taking all the money. They're scraping the friggin top,
if not digging to the bottom, and he's trying to
alleviate theft and loss.
Speaker 10 (12:57):
That on here.
Speaker 15 (12:58):
Totally understand.
Speaker 16 (12:58):
I think it's great that where going to roll backs
into the DEI, but there are also some rollbacks to
grooming standards that actually improved readiness amongst female and males,
marines and voters and whatnot. So I just feel like
some of it is also over political in the opposite direction.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
Wow.
Speaker 17 (13:16):
I just heard on the show Karen Bass is going
to quote streamline the process for a model the convention center.
Then she says she's going to streamline the process for
the building permits too, and streamline the process to start
to have in the house is built back in the
palace age as well. Everybody in the media there are
trained seald. They're probably clapping their hands, going, you're great, car,
and you're great.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
We're going to vote for you again.
Speaker 17 (13:37):
People never learn, do you.
Speaker 14 (13:39):
Oh, they're devastating in sech.
Speaker 10 (13:42):
You've seen to the military.
Speaker 12 (13:44):
Oh, it ain't what we represent.
Speaker 5 (13:47):
Man, he made me want to go back into military.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
By the time we got somebody was in his position whatever.
Speaker 12 (13:53):
By the time we got somebody who.
Speaker 7 (13:55):
Was freaking up.
Speaker 9 (13:56):
Heah, Man, they don't even respect us.
Speaker 18 (14:00):
How does the La Convention Center project get started so fast?
And the Palisades is still eighty percent not ready to go,
you know.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
With these stopping of the government and everything, and they left.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
All these people are fur long.
Speaker 19 (14:18):
Why don't we have it set up where the Congress
and the House representatives don't get paid until they get
this trained out.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
Why aren't they getting stopped from getting paid.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
Most of you're homeless are mentally ill. And Ronald Reagan
was the one who took away to all the mental institutions.
Why can't we just sing those back maybe with keep
the politicians from pocketing the funds, you know, that's what
they're doing with all these programs.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Well, Gavin Newsom has demolished this California playpoot.
Speaker 19 (14:49):
His different doctors and destructive behavior is out of control.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Well, it's about time Head said finally got it right,
finally said what needed to be said to this country.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I hope that this country is finally.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
Growing a set of again America.
Speaker 20 (15:06):
I live in island close to San Bernardino, and for
about the last year they were blasting the Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Theme song at that shopping center.
Speaker 10 (15:14):
That you're talking about where they are.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Playing the cats ounds now and Sanmandino really is a dub.
Speaker 11 (15:19):
Hey, Karen Dass. People don't want to come to Los
Angeles because it's dirty, dangerous, and born when they go
to convention. They want to go to Florida or Vegas
where they can have a good time and not worry
that somebody is going to kill them or they're going
to catch a disease or something.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
In this dub that's.
Speaker 13 (15:37):
Right, Recall and prosecute Laura, and we want all the
money back, and the same goes through baths and the.
Speaker 10 (15:43):
Rest of them.
Speaker 5 (15:44):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Please ask criminals, all criminals.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Well, there's a vegan story at the beginning of that, now,
all right, So yeah, the vegans are having their tofu
sandwiches at one table there in the park, and then
our listener there they're they're roasting all kinds of meats,
having a big barbecue, and some of the smoke wasts
over to the vegans.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
They get upset allegedly.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Now, now you don't see people eating steaks and pork
chops and things getting angry because they're the tofu chomping vegans.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Because it doesn't smell. But what's there to get upset about?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Your crowd is always angry and offended and stalking off
because Mike, the eaters keep to themselves, they're happy.
Speaker 21 (16:35):
They make fun of us. Number one. You do that
all the time, make fun of people that chop at
whole foods. And the vegans just want you need eaters
to stop murdering animals, But.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
The meat eaters can't do anything about the wind blowing
the smoke over.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
To the vegans.
Speaker 21 (16:51):
I'm not saying that I would have complained about that,
but John's asking me to explain, and I mean, look,
I don't really love the smell of bake, and there's.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
An angry group between the two. It's always the vegans
making the.
Speaker 21 (17:05):
Fuss because we're the ones that are upset that animals

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Protein deficient.
Speaker 21 (17:14):
I'm not protein deficient. I have an annual physical I'm fine.
You're not fine, Well, that's true, I'm not, but I
have enough protein.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
All right, all right, another round of the moistline coming
up in twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Dever Mark live the can'tfe joan You're not fine? I
thought that was just going a little overboard.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
You're listening to John Cobbel's on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
We are on every day from one until four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
After four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on the
iHeart app, listen to our number two. We feature today
a husband and wife directing and producing team, Ted Ballaker
and Courtney Ballacher, and they have a movie called The
Coddling of the American Mind. It's ninety minutes. It's on
all the streaming channels like Prime and Apple, and you
(18:09):
should watch it because it explains, from the point of
view of some of the students, the insanity that's consumed
these universities. All awoke progressive politics that poisoned so many
minds and created an incredible amount of emotional distress and
damage to the students. And it's all orchestrated by university
(18:29):
administrators and the professors. And you combine that with the
smartphone being introduced in twenty thirteen and social media, and
that whole generation just was sent into a terrible emotional
tail spin and they all got caught up in all
the nonsense that we've been chronicling over the years. It's
(18:49):
a fascinating movie that I saw this morning, and we
had the director on and the producer on and that's
Ted and Courtney Ballaker is based on a book called
The Coddling of the American Mind. You should read the book,
you should watch the movie, and you will have a much,
much clear understanding of what's going on in the world
(19:12):
and why this has happened. It is a cult. I've
always called it a cult. And that's not just the
rhetorical device. That's not hyperbole. It really was a cult.
Now we have a situation where in California you have
public officials who are urging people to interfere with ice,
(19:35):
and you also have like Karen Bass, Gavin Newsom. Newsom
is on national television trying to whip up anger against Ice.
Karen Bass is giving out rapid response numbers for this
Churl organization, which takes tens of millions of taxpayer money,
and they are constantly sending their troops in to create mayhem.
(19:57):
You know, they were part of the instigation of the
ice riots. There's that going on, and then you have
people who are trying to help with their own expertise.
If you go to the app store, you've been able
to buy ice block, and Apple's app store has been
carrying ice block and that's one of these crowdsourced app
(20:18):
where you can report sightings of ICE agents around the
country and then other people can see it and they
could go try to interfere, interfere or harm or kill
the ICE agents. And the Trump administration, the Attorney General
Pam Bondi, they called Apple up demanding they remove the
(20:43):
ice block app from the app store, and the company
did because this was all about intimidating and harming ICE agents.
It goes hand in hand with Newsom's anti mask law,
so that these ICE agents can be easily identified and
(21:04):
then docksed, and then they could be harassed and terrorized
at their homes as well as their families and their
kids and their neighbors, and eventually, you know people are
going to get shot. Well, hey, what happened in Texas?
You had one of these goons get riled up and
started shooting at ICE agents, except he ended up killing
two illegal aliens and so on. The front lines have
(21:27):
been Newsome and have been Karen Bass. By the way,
this is this is not covering the media. Now that
that that that law has been in effect for about
two weeks that ICE agents have to wear masks, has
it been enforced. Any ICE agent's been arrested, sighted disciplined
(21:52):
at all. No, a totally empty gesture by Newsom. But Ben,
he had press releases, press conference, he had other political
thugs gathered around him and activists, and it was a
big hoopla that he created, went on all the interview
shows and his goons on Twitter, and two weeks later,
(22:17):
there are no citations, no arrests. The law hasn't been enforced.
There hasn't been a single local or state law enforcement
official that has arrested a single ICE agent because it's unconstitutional,
so nobody's even trying. It was a complete joke, and
he knew it. The only ones who didn't know it
(22:40):
are the dumb ass reporters that work in media here
in Los Angeles, from here to Sacramento.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Every reporter who took this.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Story literally and presented literally as dumb as a box
of rocks. Unconstitutional, and the ICE agents have been flaunting
masks ever since with no penalty, and there never will
be a penalty anyway. Going back to the Ice block app,
so Apple was carrying this in their store. I think
(23:18):
Google may still be, and there's a lot of pressure
on Google to take it out of the Google Play Store.
The creator of the app is some probably some angry
rich kid. His name's josh Joshua Aaron, and he said,
capitulating to an authoritarian regime is never the right move.
Ice Block is no different than crowdsourcing speed traps. No,
(23:44):
crowdsourcing speed traps just warns people not to speed. When
you have a crowdsourcing app to track ICE officers, it
leads ICE officers potentially to get shot at. There's a difference.
Somebody ought to tell this jerk. Ice Block was removed,
(24:06):
according to Apple, because its purpose was to provide about
was to provide location information about law enforcement that could
be used to harm such officers.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
But Joshua Aaron is not said, well, this is protected
speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Well,
it might be protected speech to say, hey, looks like
the ICE agents are across the street, but you don't
have a First Amendment right to put it on an
app and sell it through the Apple system. If Apple
(24:41):
thinks it's actually they'd be facilitating a great danger to
law enforcement agents. They have every right to pull your
stupid app because all you want is terrorists and want
to be terrorists and rioters and troublemakers to harm the
ICE agents. That's what Joshua Aaron's purpose is. He added,
(25:04):
We're determined to fight this with everything we have. What
do you have, Well, maybe a bank account from your
your rich parents, and you can file a bunch of
lawsuits that will get thrown out of court. I don't
know what what you have exactly. Our mission has been
to protect our neighbors. We will not be deterred. We
will not be stopping your neighbors. You're not going to
(25:26):
protect them their law breakers, and ICE is law enforcement.
You make apps. I don't know what this is your
contribution to society. Would you be really happy if somebody
used your your stupid app and then killed an ICE agent?
(25:48):
Is that is? Would that be a reason to party
it was a successful hit crazy people? Well, anyway, at
least Apple did the right thing. And I don't know
what google situation is, but if you have an app
that helps crazy people kill law enforcement agents who are
(26:12):
enforcing the law, you're lucky you're not thrown in prison
in an authoritarian regime. If this really was an authoritarian regime,
you'd be thrown in prison.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
For that, and I wish it was this much.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Of a regime like that, and a guy like Joshu
or Aaron was locked up and put away.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
More coming up.
Speaker 7 (26:32):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from KFI six.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
We've got moistline coming up in a couple of minutes.
You know, you know it's funny. I mentioned this from
time to time. Apparently much of the public gets its
news from social media now, and some of it is
from traditional news sources, and some of it is just
(27:03):
random people, and you don't know what you're getting. My
wife sends me stuff all the time. And maybe you
could use this for your show. Maybe you could use
this for your show. And the thing is, I go
check it out, and it's truly is fake news. It's
not an insult, it's not news I disagree with. This
is news that is entirely made up. And there's so
much of that all over social media. And it explains
(27:25):
why people have some people have the nutting views they
do is because they're ingesting a lot of garbage. Of course,
if you use the traditional media sources, even if they
send it through social media, those things are horrifically woke
and biased.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And progressive and all that stuff. And there's yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Know, I always mentioned on a statewide basis Californiaglobe dot
com and on a local basis Westside Current dot com.
And we find ourselves using more stories from those two
sources because they have they're covering real news and they're
telling you the truth. And what I've noticed is people
(28:04):
I know who, let's say they're older, sixty, over sixty,
they still grouse about the media, the bias and the media,
and they still grouse about the network newscasts and this
and that. And I keep telling you it's like nobody's watching
them anymore because nobody believes them. You don't have to
worry about news media bias anymore. You really don't, because
it doesn't matter what sixty Minutes runs, it doesn't matter
what the CBS news runs. Nobody's watching and even fewer
(28:28):
are believing it. And to that point, Gallup just did
polling and they found out that America's Americans confidence in
mass media, mainstream media is now down to twenty eight percent.
Only twenty eight percent of the public expresses a great
(28:49):
deal or fair amount of trust in newspapers and television.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Now you have.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Seventy percent of adults say they have either not very
much confidence or none at all. Seventy percent have written
off all the networks, all the mainstream newspapers and news
sites in America seventy percent. When you break it down
(29:17):
according to parties, Republican confidence is down to eight percent.
Independent voters their confidence level twenty seven percent say I'm
almost three quarters of independent voters saying no, I don't
believe that. I don't trust that. Again, we're talking about
the major networks and the major newspapers, and even among
(29:39):
gullible left wing Democrats, only fifty one percent trust the media.
It's down to half. And those people are being served
what they already believe. Right, you have a progressive news
media and they're serving up progressives and liberals with the
(30:00):
kind of news that these people want to hear. So
their trust is still holding out. But everybody else has
left the party. And it's five years ago. It was
forty percent trust in TV and newspapers, then last year
(30:22):
thirty one percent, now twenty eight percent, and uh, hardly
hardly anybody's watching and hardly anybody's believing it. So if
you're one of those people, don't get worked up by
the media, the traditional mainstream news media. It's dead, had
(30:45):
its day. Chaos is replacing it. But don't worry about
the bias. The bias did the men. Let's play the
moistline round two.
Speaker 8 (30:58):
Mann, Thanks for calling him. I'm so excited to hear
from you to BAP time.
Speaker 20 (31:03):
But what about all the tornadoes that Oklahoma has?
Speaker 5 (31:07):
I don't know if.
Speaker 10 (31:08):
I'd want to do that.
Speaker 6 (31:10):
And why is it that Karen Basi's voice is like
listening to fingernails scraping on a chalkboard. Every time I
hear it, I have to turn it off, that screeching
kind of Oh, just very pompous voice.
Speaker 19 (31:24):
Karen Bess opened her mouth and she lied. She says
she's going to fast track the construction on the convention Center.
Tell that to the people of Palisades. There shouldn't be
anything done to the convention Center until they're taken care of.
Speaker 20 (31:37):
Can we please follow the paper trail? Because two point
whatever billion dollars for the convention center unbelievable, and then
one hundred and one thousand dollars a year for a
bedroom a bed out of who they are they pulling
this money out of it? And who's is this money
going into. So it's nothing but fraudulents.
Speaker 18 (31:57):
That's only tax money.
Speaker 8 (31:59):
We can get more of it when you're not.
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Looking one hundred and twenty four thousand for a bed
for a homeless person in a hotel. That's equals about
three hundred and fourteen dollars a night. For a little more,
I could get the room at the rich Calton.
Speaker 19 (32:18):
In regards to the LA Convention Center getting a baselift,
you know, they're going to steal that.
Speaker 8 (32:24):
Money and nothing's going to get done.
Speaker 19 (32:26):
Maybe just the bare minimum. But like I said, they're
going to steal that money, and you people in La
are going to keep paid for that for thirty years.
Speaker 12 (32:35):
I thought that there's a program in the state of
Council and it's called From the Cradle to the Grave
that provides this medical services for illegal immigrants. I think
makes some modersister. We looked at that statement because it
comes straight.
Speaker 10 (32:50):
From our Governor Gavin Newson.
Speaker 20 (32:53):
A caaren Vash only pander to the stupid and the uninformed,
and that's the only people who book.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
For these idiots.
Speaker 10 (33:00):
I don't live in La County, but I do live
in the state of California.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
And all of our officials from the governor down.
Speaker 14 (33:07):
Everybody is worthless.
Speaker 10 (33:08):
We need somebody to stand up with something and take
charge of this state.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
You got to get for cal park lera upbreak kill
me makes one hundred and eighty thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 13 (33:19):
I mean he asked to steal our taxes to make
ends me.
Speaker 15 (33:24):
Listening to your report on Ricardo, Laura jumped in the
shower and I could have sworn you called the entertainer
person Kitty Litter. I laughed so hard my German shepherd
came rushing in to make sure I was okay.
Speaker 9 (33:37):
The answer is obvious.
Speaker 19 (33:39):
We need to get the insurance commissioner to free and
birth to save the taxpayers for all of his personal travel.
Speaker 22 (33:48):
I went into Los Angeles County Lancaster branch asking him
first Snap to help me out. I'm a retired disabled veteran.
They threw me out because I told them all their
allegal people are get money Medicaid and for food and everything,
and veterans get nothing.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
I just wonder how long California residents are going to
put up with the absolutely.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Awful leadership in California.
Speaker 15 (34:14):
It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 11 (34:15):
You cannot count on the leadership in California to take
care of you.
Speaker 8 (34:19):
All they care about is themselves.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 13 (34:23):

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