Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. You can follow us
at John Cobelt Radio. On social media follow us at
John Cobelt Radio. We're trying to get to twenty five
thousand followers, all right, so much to do that. Alex
Stone has stuff on two stories that we're going to
(00:21):
get to here from ABC News, and the first one
is really exciting because I think sometime this hour, the
two astronauts who've been stranded up at the International Space
Station for the last nine months are are going to
be splashing down the Elon Musk sent the This is
the ultra uber service a spacecraft, a SpaceX craft to
(00:43):
pick them up and take them home after Boeing left
them behind. Let's get Alex on to talk about that,
and we're also going to talk about all the nine
to one one fire clips that are now being released. Alex,
you think Butcher and Sunny they leaned into the capsule
and went John or you my driver? John? Ye, that's me,
you're picking me. Yes, it's the greatest service I've ever seen. Yeah,
(01:03):
it very much is. In Butcher and Sunny, the two
astronauts Sunny Williams and Butch Wilmore. They had a big
thanks for Elon Musk the other day, saying that you know,
he's the one that came up and is getting them
off of there. They've been up there for nine months
and they thought it was going to be eight days,
and they've been talking about no, we love this that
this is we love going to space. We've been doing
a lot of experiments up here. One is the underwear
(01:26):
situation has got to be horrendous. But they've gotten deliveries.
But no matter. You could be in Hawaii, you could
be in Bora Boria. You think you're going to be
there for eight days, and nine months later you're still there.
You want to go home. Their kids have done things
that we've gone through. An election they electronically voted from
up there. They missed the holidays. It's been a long time.
And this goes back to Boeing Starliner, and you remember
(01:49):
it went up. It had been delayed for years because
of problems. Got them up there, and then it had
problems up there, had to leave them. It came back
without them. SpaceX then in September sent up a crew
for a six month mission, but with only two crew
members instead of four, so there would be two open seats. Today.
They're taking those two open seats today, and that crew
(02:10):
that went up on the six month mission, they're done
with their six months, so they're coming back with them today.
And about seventeen hours ago, this was the sound of
the SpaceX Freedom capsule separating from the International Space Station
and on docking confirmed Freedom is free of its moorings.
Sonny Williams and Butch Wilmore began their belated trip home.
(02:31):
So in the next about forty five minutes, we think
that they're going to become visible in the sky. They're
going to go through the atmosphere, splashed down off the
coast of Florida, and asked a little while ago, confirmed
it's going to be off the coast of Tallahassee. We
know it's gonna be Florida, but not exactly where. The
parachutes are going to deploy four minutes before splash down,
and then they will emerge and go to a rescue
(02:53):
ship and then eventually to Houston. But they have been
saying over and over again they were not stranded that
they could get Now there is the point that there
was the SpaceX capsule that came up in September. It
was it was attached there that had there been an emergency,
they could have gotten back, but they weren't able just
on their own to come back. And they said this,
since we've.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Been here, we've had a way to get home if
we really needed to in an emergency.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
There's many ways to characterize it. Stranded I don't think
is one of them, because we're on the space station. Well, yeah,
they're on there, but they couldn't come home. But NASA
along was telling us please speak Well, NASA kept telling us,
don't say they're stranded. They're not stranded. Well, okay, if
the thing was going to blow up, they could put
them in the capsule and get them out of there.
But they did not have the ability to say I
(03:38):
want to go home and then come back to Earth.
But after this very long mission there, they're on their
way home right now. The the female astronaut, Sunny Williams,
she has looked frighteningly fragile, thin, emaciated. Really well is
her health okay? Or yeah? She's good. And they exercise
(04:02):
up there and they're able to get movement, but it's
nothing like on earth. They've been up there for quite
a while, and again they thought it was gonna be
eight days, and now nine months later, they're finally floating
back down. Right now, all right, let's get on to
the fires, because now all this audio that we've been
hearing on the news in the last couple of hours,
which fire is are these audio clips from? And who
(04:25):
released them today? Yeah? So it's the Eton fire. And
getting nine one one calls in California is unusual because,
unlike most states, most police agencies and a lot of
fire agencies see nine one one calls as being confidential,
along with police reports and mugshots increasingly. But most other states,
you go to Arizona and Nevada and everywhere else, we'll
(04:46):
give it all to you, and you get the police
report the day after Remember in Gene Hackman in New Mexico,
that afternoon we had the police report and we got
calls out of that, And so it's typical in most
states that you get these. California not so much. Sierra
Madre police today gave us a bunch of nine one
one calls. They still apparently release them, whereas LAPD does not,
(05:08):
and the Sheriff's Department does not, but we're hearing the
initial moments. And as things were ramping up on the
the Eton fire, people started calling in saying, hey, I
see something and it looks like there's a fire. There's
an extremely large fire to the northwest. Now, dispatchers that
the call takers say, well, that's in Pasadena. You don't
(05:29):
need to worry about that, and the callers increasingly call
in and say, now, homes are on fire. It's not
only in Pasadena, it's in Sierra Madre, and that they're
seeing homes that are burning.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Hi, there's homes on fire on M Stop and rant.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
There's a fire truck out here.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But one house is on fire.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yees, house is on fire on Mtop.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And dispatchers begin to realize that there is now fire
in the Sierra Madre and into Altadena and into Pasadena.
And then the callers begin to get angry because there
are no firefighters in those areas and homes are burning, there's.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Houses on fire, there's no.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Anybody here.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
What is the address man?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Fourteen seventy fourteenth seventy, And so there were a number
of people who were calling in saying, look, you keep
telling me, I keep calling you and you keep telling
me we'll send somebody out there, and nobody is showing up.
So this is it's the first time we've heard any
nine one one calls out of any of the fires
from whether it be Palisades are now Sierra Madre and
Altadena in Pasadena. But that from the initial moments of
(06:36):
hey there's a glow, something's not right to people saying
in how quickly it grew in the wind of get
out here because homes are burning. Do you know if
that's a state law that keeps the nine one one
calls from being released, or it's that the local authorities
have the option of either releasing it or not. It's
a couple of things. So with police reports, it is
(06:56):
a state law, they're seen as confidential. You know, people
who aren't from Cali Fornia. Typically we'll say, well, just
get the police report. We have to normally get it
from an attorney involved because they can get it, but
we cannot get it. This is st to protect the criminals.
It's to protect those involved in the in the case.
So if you ask the LAPD or the Sheriff's department,
they'll immediately say, on any case, no, because that's protected.
(07:18):
Most agencies in southern California especially, have policies against releasing
nine to one one calls because they say that that
is a confidential part of the case and not public record.
Other areas of the country see it legally as public record.
Mug shots have increasingly in more liberal areas of the country,
they don't release them for different quality reasons. I know
(07:42):
why is typically what the argument was for not releasing them,
and so that that is really caught on with a
lot of departments. But you go to Arizona, you go
to to New Mexico, you go to typically more conservative states,
and mugshots are always released or booking photos, and are
the police reports in the nine on one calls. But
(08:02):
for as open as California is, and you know, in
the sense of media friendliness and all of that, where
you would think a more conservative state might be tighter
with the information when it's releasing it to the media,
it goes opposite in all of this, and California, with
their open records laws and whatnot, are very closed when
it comes to body camera body cameras. Typically only if
(08:24):
there's an officer involves shooting do they have to release it.
Otherwise they won't if you request it, whereas in everywhere
else they request all of it or they release. Is
there an absolute mandate to keep the Palisades nine one
one calls a secret in La City? There's not a
mandate in the sense of just on that that the
city does not release nine on one calls Every now
and then we'll get one from the LAFD that they
(08:44):
heavily redact because they have a little different policy than LAPD.
But LAPD, except for an extraordinary circumstances in the end
in officer involves shootings where they put out their videos
with all the body camera and they usually put the
nine one one call in there. Typically we don't get them,
and we have no legal way to get them because
of California law. All right, thanks very much, Yeah, you
(09:06):
gotta pink that stone, ABC News. I think because the uh,
let's look at the Palisades, that was such a disastrous
response and it burned thousands of homes and twelve people died,
they absolutely should release all the nine to one one
calls so we can hear the screaming and the frustration
(09:29):
of the residents who are not like it. In that
Sierra Madre clip, were calling repeatedly and not seeing any
fire trucks show up. And I do think that not
enough attention has been put on Altadena and the surrounding areas,
and that the La County supervisors have not been asked
(09:51):
to explain themselves, and the La County Fire chief has
been asked to explain himself. They had even more homes
burned and even more deaths, and we know at least
that it's most likely so Cal Edison was involved in
igniting the fire. We still don't have an explanation what
(10:13):
ignited the Palisades fire, and nobody wants to talk. They
should release all the nine one one calls. They do
that in California with holding information, whether it's police reports,
nine one one calls to protect criminals because they don't
want the criminal stigmatized. They don't want stereotypes perpetrated. That's
why it's all social justice, woke nonsense. But I think
(10:39):
I think everybody's got a huge interest in hearing about
how the response was sounded in real time according to
the people who were reporting the fire. I mean, if that,
if that fire isn't a big enough reason to suspend
whatever policies they have to create an exception, but you
(11:01):
know everybody, everybody in government benefits by continued silence. If
it's another day nobody talks about it, it's another day
they get away with it.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
We're on from one to four every day, and then
after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app. You can listen to what you missed. You
may wonder why all the politicians in California do the
things they do when clearly it's a stupid policy, it's
(11:36):
a corrupt policy, it's the wrong policy, and you may say,
what are they thinking. They can't be voted out of
office in California because it's a one party state. There
are rarely even independents, let alone Republicans challenging these people,
and so after a while, it doesn't matter. They'll take
(11:58):
money in exchange for their votes or policy sees, because
who's going to stop them from taking the money. They
are a lot of these people are not very bright.
If you listen to that little clip we played a
tim of Gavin Newsom and Tim Waltz, the Minnesota governor,
It's like Holy mackerel. You know, yeah, I mean that's
(12:18):
like listening to farm animals. I mean there's nothing going
on there. And then a lot of stuff they believe
in is wrong. But eh, it's not their money, not
their money, What does it matter. They're not going to
be voted out of office, not here, not in California.
So you may think, after all the vicious backlash against
Karen Bass for flying off to Africa when she knew
(12:44):
for two days that a horrendous windstorm was coming and
the fire danger was extreme, she goes to Africa anyway
because she knows whatever happens, she's not going to lose
her job. He say's what she thinks. And then after
witnessing the back lash against the criticism against Bass, you
would think that somebody also involved in this fire story
(13:08):
would not disappear out of the country when something important
needed to be attended to here in California, and I'm
talking about the insurance Commissioner, Ricardo cal fart Lara. Cal
fart Lara is the insurance commissioner, and there was supposed
(13:30):
to be an oversight hearing with state lawmakers in Sacramento.
So the Sacramento legislators actually have an oversight hearing scheduled
and Ricardo cal Fart Lara was supposed to attend, but
he went to Bermuda instead. Bermuda in the Caribbean. Have
(13:51):
you been to Bermuda?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I have not, that it is on my list.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
That's why it hasn't been invaded or bombed yet or
destroyed by a hurricane. Ricardo Lara went because there was
an insurance summit being held in Bermuda.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Well, of course, who would want to go to the Caribbean.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And he was speaking at it. It's like bass saying, hey,
I got invited to a diplomatic reception for the President
of Ghana. I was asked by the President I had
to go, and same thing here. He's invited to be
the keynote speaker at an insurance and reinsurance conference. And
reinsurance the reinsurance industry are these mega companies that insure
(14:37):
insurance companies that have taken on too many losses, like
when you have a situation the Palisades or the Altadena fire,
and the claims and the losses are so great that
the normal insurance company could go bankrupt. They've paid premiums
(14:58):
to a reinsurance company expensive premiums and the reinsurance company
acts as a backstop. So it turns out forty percent
of the world's reinsurance companies are based in Bermuda, which
makes me think there's probably some very loose laws there.
It's like companies that are incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
(15:22):
It means you can get away with a lot of
funny business as you're collecting those billions and reinsurance payments.
And of course they have to hear from him. And
apparently a zoom doesn't work in Bermuda, because you would
think that he could zoom in and they could put
him on a big screen on a stage right and
he could get the same message, which would be just
(15:43):
a lot of cliches and platitudes and nonsense. He just
had to be in Bermuda. And one thing he didn't
have to be at was the oversight hearing in Sacramento, Bermuda, Sacramento.
Tough call there, h Laris said in his speech, and
(16:07):
this is this is going to be captivating. Just as
the original concept of insurance was so revolutionary and creative,
we are once again called to be bold and creative
at this pivotal moment. In our history, and I hope
you will join me in that effort.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Wait, I don't know what that even means.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
It doesn't mean anything. It's just words. They stand up
and they read words written by someone else, and everybody
sits in the audience and nods, and then they all
go out and get drunk. The California Department of Insurance
has not responded to multiple requests for comment as to
(16:45):
why Larry didn't show up and do his job. Appearing
at the Sacramento Oversight Committee hearing, the executive director of
Consumer Watchdog, one of those activist groups, Carmen Bauber, said
every Californiaan should under why the insurance Commissioner is in
the Caribbean instead of dealing with the insurance crisis at home.
(17:09):
So but Ricardo cal Fart lrat knows that he's not
going to lose any elections, so he'll go to Bermuda,
just like Bass will go to Africa. Because you don't matter,
They don't care. They don't think you're paying attention. You're
just scrolling on your Instagram, reading your text messages. You
(17:32):
don't know how they're destroying and bankrupting the state. You'll
just wake up one day and go, WHOA what happened
must be Trump's fault.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Moistline is running again this week eight seven seven Moist
eighty six. It's back eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
You use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Coming
up in the next segment, we have adult stories for
dever not necessarily pleasant. Once okay, and.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Then forget it. I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We have a story on turtles, a turtle smuggler, an
American tourist, a woman who was who ran off with
a wombat. Oh my god, I saw that one. And
then a fisherman from Peru who spent over three months
in the ocean and was found alive and the stuff
(18:33):
he had to eat. Questions for you on man, Yeah,
I want to see if you'd survived that. By the way,
they found him emaciated and in critical condition, which proves
my number one diet theory. And I always say this
and people get irritated with me. Best way to lose weight,
stop eating this guy they need for ninety five days.
(18:56):
He's a bag of bones.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Okay, but wait a second, who would disagree with that?
That's obvious.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But people people do all the time.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
But if you don't, of course you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Lose It's too simplistic. It's more complicated than that. It's
harder than well. No, if you.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Don't eat, of course you're gonna lose weight. There's no
effans or butts about it. It's just not healthy.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I mean it's not you know, there's a whole industry
around this. Yeah, yeah, take take drugs.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
No, but John take What I'm saying is, if you.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Books, go to seminars. Yeah, sure, enrich all these charlatte tans.
You come to me, I'll give you this advice for
free stop eating.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
No, that's not healthy.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
You have to you you basically have to eliminate.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Some calories, cut down on calories. But if you don't
eat it all, then you're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Do you see this guy ninety five days? Wait till
you hear what he was eating. Well, we'll talk about
it coming up. You're right, this story. I like when
I exasperate.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You, well, because it's just some things are just so stupid.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, I know, because the way my wife responds. Gee,
I wonder why exactly the same response. I'm just not
designed for most people. Yeah, all right, this this story
is going to infuriate you, and it's not getting a
lot of coverage. I found this in the West Side Current,
(20:14):
which is a really good West Side of La news website,
and they print the stuff that you used to see
in a major newspaper like the La Times. Uh. It's
about it's about a violent, mentally ill homeless guy. His
name is job Uriah Taylor. It's twenty seven years old,
(20:39):
and about two years ago he was arrested and and this,
this was a this was a nasty crime. He used
a pipe to crush the skull of another homeless guy.
They were sleeping in the same encampment next to the
Fifth Street Expo station in Santa Monica. By the way,
that expos station has done nothing for Santa Monica but
(21:01):
bring hundreds and thousands of homeless people from downtown into
Santa Monica and just ruining the place. And I know
there's another subway line that they're building down Wilshire Boulevard.
In fact, they're closing four blocks in Beverly Hills for
the next three weeks constructing this thing. And it is
(21:23):
going to bring more homeless vagrants, mental patients, and drug
addicts into Beverly Hills and Westwood and beyond. That's all
these subways are good for, is transferring homeless people to
the West Side. Maybe that was the idea. Well, anyway,
job Uriah Taylor. He smashed in the head of another
(21:46):
guy named Christian Hornberg. And Hornberg is alive, but he's
confined to a wheelchair and he'll require medical services for
the rest of his life. So it's a pretty brutal case.
He was charged with attempted murder, three counts of assault
with a deadly weapon, one count of assault with a
(22:07):
deadly weapon with force, and there was a hate crime
enhancement because Taylor was shouting racial slurs at Hornberg. He
claimed that he had been sent to Santa Monica by
his family to target black residents. So he's violent and insane.
He had a record of mental issues schizo effective and
(22:30):
bipolar disorder, drug abuse, heroin, methamphetamine. Here's a question, you've
heard the setup. Do you think they put him in prison? No? Correct,
they did not put him in prison. There's something called
the Office of Diversion and re Entry. They provide permanent
(22:55):
supportive housing for vagrants with mental health disorders who are
in La County jail. It tries to resolve cases early
by releasing clients into the support of housing. This is
after they knew he had this long history of mental
(23:16):
health issues drug issues, and it was culminated with this
violent attack. By the way, there were three attacks that
job Uriah Taylor committed that day three. The worst was
when he smashed Christian Hornberg's head.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
In Everybody Deserves a Fourth Chance.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
The Office Version and re Entry had twenty seven hundred
people in the program last year. They lost track of
over five hundred.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Oh great, so they're wandering around, Yes.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Five hundred. Job Uriah Taylor's got loose. We're paying for
all this. Video evidence recorded from the Santa Monica Police
Department body cams showed the horrific extent of Hornberg's injuries.
It turns out that representatives from od R, the Office
(24:18):
of Diversion and re Entry, had never seen that video.
There were several attempts to reach out to them, but
nobody returned. Nobody returned calls or emails. This was the attorney,
the Deputy DA representing the victim, Christian Hornberg, David Dickman.
(24:43):
Dickman said that the Office of Diversion and re Entry
had never seen the videos. Nobody would return his calls
or emails.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Even if they saw the videos. You think that that
we the outcome would be different.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
No, Do you believe how much money we're spending on
this guy?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Okay, so we need Elon Musk to come in. Yes,
and uh so.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't understand. He clearly did the crime, and the
injuries are on video. There's no question he did it.
He's clearly insane. Put him in an insane asylum. Put
him in an insane asylum inside a maximum security prison
and let him sit there for the rest of his life,
and give him enough implement so he could kill himself.
(25:31):
What is this Office of Diversion and re Entry re
entry to? Where where's he gonna go?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Streets of la.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, he'll be back out and he'll smash somebody else's
head in, all right when we come back, smuggle turtles,
a tourist molesting a wombat, and it go that far.
I don't mean that in the sexual sense.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Oh there's another sense.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yes, you can. You can use it in a non
sexual sense. Okay, it's probably an outdated usage.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And also the Peruvian fisherman who but I'm the best diet.
If you're looking to lose weight, maybe Ozempic's not working
for you. Do what this guy did. Just get in
a boat and disappear into the ocean for three months.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
John Cobelt's show. We have the splashdown. Momentarily you bring
up the NASA broadcast here, should.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
See it any second now, and there you are getting
a great view of Crew nine inside.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
The two astronauts coming back.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Back to Earth. We are awaiting the drogue deploys. This
view coming from the WB fifty seven high altitude plane.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
On the Powa Chutes just deployment deployment splash down in
the Atlantic Ocean near Florida. It's on its way down.
You can see it by looking up in the sky.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
You're very excited as Dragon Freedom continues to make its
way back to planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
It's landing off the coast of Florida, and then the
astronauts are going to be transported to Houston. These are
the two and astronauts that have been stuck in space
for nine months. Bulleying made a faulty spacecraft and they
couldn't come home. So Elon Musk sent a SpaceX capsule
(27:36):
to pick.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Them up the coast of Tallahassee, Florida here at two fifty.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Suggest to deployed two more parachutes. So now there's four
slowing the descent of the SpaceX craft into the ocean. Inside.
They we used these SpaceX capsules, don't they?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
He was from inside one of the buckets where the
parachutes are located.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
So we see a great.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
View there of the reefing on those parachutes.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And as those parachutes, those main parachutes begin to inflate fully,
four beautiful healthy.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Names, and coming back to Earth, there's Sooney Williams and
Butch Wilmore rsh down.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
We'll start to hear Commander.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Nick Haig copy one thousand, as we.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Heard right there, Commander Nick Haig will be calling out
the altitude of the Dragon capsule. From here on out,
Landing in water is simpler and provides more margin against
unlikely parachute issues.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Did Bullie explain why this didn't work those or are
they going to Karen Bass and they just won't talks.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Well, they just talked about all you know, they had
mechanical issues and problem and if you're just joining us,
you're looking.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
At eight hundred meters.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
A live view of Crew nine just minutes away from
splashing down off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. Splash down
two minutes from now at two fifty seven pm Pacific.
We do have four healthy manes really doing the job there,
just breath taking views of a calm glass like ocean
off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. Crew nine just minutes
(29:10):
away from splashing down.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
This is really such an incredible shot.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
There's four ashats coming back, two on the regular return
mission and then the two ways from the mission.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Behind, stationed a couple miles away from the splash down site.
We can see the crew there using their their restraints
as resting places for their arms. They were just in
space moments ago, so their arms were able to float freely.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Floating down gently by spacecraft standards.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Is a gorgeous bluebird day here that we have for
the splashdown of Crew nine. It's incredible to think that
the Dragon capsule just minutes ago was going over seventeen thousand,
seventeen thousand miles per hour and now gently coasting to
(30:08):
a soft splashdown.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Copy two hundred meters. Brace for splashdown, as you can
see there on your screen, continuing to monitor progress of
the Dragon space.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
There we go, and we're going to stand by water
slashdown located on the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Watching video a little ahead of the audio. The spaceship
is in the water.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Now, Wow, that is so cool.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
That is cool. It was such a gentle.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Easy, very gent down Crew nine Back on Earth.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
There you go. So Butcher Willmore and Sunny Williams. After
nine months being stranded by bullying up at the International
Space Station, they've returned to Earth and they're going to
send some kind of ship over to pick them up
and then eventually take them to Houston.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Nick, Alex Butch Sonny on behalf of SpaceX Welcome home.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Did they get an apology from Boeing at all? I
don't know, CEO show say geez, we really screwed that
one up. Sorry, is an amazing all right.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
They just want to put it past them. John, you
know they're home now. It's all over.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
By the way, it's Elon Musk's company that rescued all
these Elon Musk critics. Can you do that? Can you
send up a spacecraft to rescue too astronauts stranded in space?
Can you do that? All right? Somebody's the ankle biters.
You know it was irritating little ankle biters who go
after accomplished, successful people. All right, we will do all
(31:51):
those animal stories next hour, the frons, okay, And when
we come back, though, we have Susan Crabtree coming on.
Susan has co written a book called Fool's Gold, The Radicals,
con Artists and traders who killed the California Dream and
now threaten us all. One of the lead characters is
(32:12):
Gavin Newsom, and we are going to talk to her
about the book and about Newsom, and that's all ahead. 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. You're listening to the John
Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app. You can follow us
at John Cobelt Radio. On social media follow us at
John Cobelt Radio. We're trying to get to twenty five
thousand followers, all right, so much to do that. Alex
Stone has stuff on two stories that we're going to
(00:21):
get to here from ABC News, and the first one
is really exciting because I think sometime this hour, the
two astronauts who've been stranded up at the International Space
Station for the last nine months are are going to
be splashing down the Elon Musk sent the This is
the ultra uber service a spacecraft, a SpaceX craft to
(00:43):
pick them up and take them home after Boeing left
them behind. Let's get Alex on to talk about that,
and we're also going to talk about all the nine
to one one fire clips that are now being released. Alex,
you think Butcher and Sunny they leaned into the capsule
and went John or you my driver? John? Ye, that's me,
you're picking me. Yes, it's the greatest service I've ever seen. Yeah,
(01:03):
it very much is. In Butcher and Sunny, the two
astronauts Sunny Williams and Butch Wilmore. They had a big
thanks for Elon Musk the other day, saying that you know,
he's the one that came up and is getting them
off of there. They've been up there for nine months
and they thought it was going to be eight days,
and they've been talking about no, we love this that
this is we love going to space. We've been doing
a lot of experiments up here. One is the underwear
(01:26):
situation has got to be horrendous. But they've gotten deliveries.
But no matter. You could be in Hawaii, you could
be in Bora Boria. You think you're going to be
there for eight days, and nine months later you're still there.
You want to go home. Their kids have done things
that we've gone through. An election they electronically voted from
up there. They missed the holidays. It's been a long time.
And this goes back to Boeing Starliner, and you remember
(01:49):
it went up. It had been delayed for years because
of problems. Got them up there, and then it had
problems up there, had to leave them. It came back
without them. SpaceX then in September sent up a crew
for a six month mission, but with only two crew
members instead of four, so there would be two open seats. Today.
They're taking those two open seats today, and that crew
(02:10):
that went up on the six month mission, they're done
with their six months, so they're coming back with them today.
And about seventeen hours ago, this was the sound of
the SpaceX Freedom capsule separating from the International Space Station
and on docking confirmed Freedom is free of its moorings.
Sonny Williams and Butch Wilmore began their belated trip home.
(02:31):
So in the next about forty five minutes, we think
that they're going to become visible in the sky. They're
going to go through the atmosphere, splashed down off the
coast of Florida, and asked a little while ago, confirmed
it's going to be off the coast of Tallahassee. We
know it's gonna be Florida, but not exactly where. The
parachutes are going to deploy four minutes before splash down,
and then they will emerge and go to a rescue
(02:53):
ship and then eventually to Houston. But they have been
saying over and over again they were not stranded that
they could get Now there is the point that there
was the SpaceX capsule that came up in September. It
was it was attached there that had there been an emergency,
they could have gotten back, but they weren't able just
on their own to come back. And they said this,
since we've.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Been here, we've had a way to get home if
we really needed to in an emergency.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
There's many ways to characterize it. Stranded I don't think
is one of them, because we're on the space station. Well, yeah,
they're on there, but they couldn't come home. But NASA
along was telling us please speak Well, NASA kept telling us,
don't say they're stranded. They're not stranded. Well, okay, if
the thing was going to blow up, they could put
them in the capsule and get them out of there.
But they did not have the ability to say I
(03:38):
want to go home and then come back to Earth.
But after this very long mission there, they're on their
way home right now. The the female astronaut, Sunny Williams,
she has looked frighteningly fragile, thin, emaciated. Really well is
her health okay? Or yeah? She's good. And they exercise
(04:02):
up there and they're able to get movement, but it's
nothing like on earth. They've been up there for quite
a while, and again they thought it was gonna be
eight days, and now nine months later, they're finally floating
back down. Right now, all right, let's get on to
the fires, because now all this audio that we've been
hearing on the news in the last couple of hours,
which fire is are these audio clips from? And who
(04:25):
released them today? Yeah? So it's the Eton fire. And
getting nine one one calls in California is unusual because,
unlike most states, most police agencies and a lot of
fire agencies see nine one one calls as being confidential,
along with police reports and mugshots increasingly. But most other states,
you go to Arizona and Nevada and everywhere else, we'll
(04:46):
give it all to you, and you get the police
report the day after Remember in Gene Hackman in New Mexico,
that afternoon we had the police report and we got
calls out of that, And so it's typical in most
states that you get these. California not so much. Sierra
Madre police today gave us a bunch of nine one
one calls. They still apparently release them, whereas LAPD does not,
(05:08):
and the Sheriff's Department does not, but we're hearing the
initial moments. And as things were ramping up on the
the Eton fire, people started calling in saying, hey, I
see something and it looks like there's a fire. There's
an extremely large fire to the northwest. Now, dispatchers that
the call takers say, well, that's in Pasadena. You don't
(05:29):
need to worry about that, and the callers increasingly call
in and say, now, homes are on fire. It's not
only in Pasadena, it's in Sierra Madre, and that they're
seeing homes that are burning.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Hi, there's homes on fire on M Stop and rant.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
There's a fire truck out here.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But one house is on fire.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yees, house is on fire on Mtop.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
And dispatchers begin to realize that there is now fire
in the Sierra Madre and into Altadena and into Pasadena.
And then the callers begin to get angry because there
are no firefighters in those areas and homes are burning, there's.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Houses on fire, there's no.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Anybody here.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
What is the address man?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Fourteen seventy fourteenth seventy, And so there were a number
of people who were calling in saying, look, you keep
telling me, I keep calling you and you keep telling
me we'll send somebody out there, and nobody is showing up.
So this is it's the first time we've heard any
nine one one calls out of any of the fires
from whether it be Palisades are now Sierra Madre and
Altadena in Pasadena. But that from the initial moments of
(06:36):
hey there's a glow, something's not right to people saying
in how quickly it grew in the wind of get
out here because homes are burning. Do you know if
that's a state law that keeps the nine one one
calls from being released, or it's that the local authorities
have the option of either releasing it or not. It's
a couple of things. So with police reports, it is
(06:56):
a state law, they're seen as confidential. You know, people
who aren't from Cali Fornia. Typically we'll say, well, just
get the police report. We have to normally get it
from an attorney involved because they can get it, but
we cannot get it. This is st to protect the criminals.
It's to protect those involved in the in the case.
So if you ask the LAPD or the Sheriff's department,
they'll immediately say, on any case, no, because that's protected.
(07:18):
Most agencies in southern California especially, have policies against releasing
nine to one one calls because they say that that
is a confidential part of the case and not public record.
Other areas of the country see it legally as public record.
Mug shots have increasingly in more liberal areas of the country,
they don't release them for different quality reasons. I know
(07:42):
why is typically what the argument was for not releasing them,
and so that that is really caught on with a
lot of departments. But you go to Arizona, you go
to to New Mexico, you go to typically more conservative states,
and mugshots are always released or booking photos, and are
the police reports in the nine on one calls. But
(08:02):
for as open as California is, and you know, in
the sense of media friendliness and all of that, where
you would think a more conservative state might be tighter
with the information when it's releasing it to the media,
it goes opposite in all of this, and California, with
their open records laws and whatnot, are very closed when
it comes to body camera body cameras. Typically only if
(08:24):
there's an officer involves shooting do they have to release it.
Otherwise they won't if you request it, whereas in everywhere
else they request all of it or they release. Is
there an absolute mandate to keep the Palisades nine one
one calls a secret in La City? There's not a
mandate in the sense of just on that that the
city does not release nine on one calls Every now
and then we'll get one from the LAFD that they
(08:44):
heavily redact because they have a little different policy than LAPD.
But LAPD, except for an extraordinary circumstances in the end
in officer involves shootings where they put out their videos
with all the body camera and they usually put the
nine one one call in there. Typically we don't get them,
and we have no legal way to get them because
of California law. All right, thanks very much, Yeah, you
(09:06):
gotta pink that stone, ABC News. I think because the uh,
let's look at the Palisades, that was such a disastrous
response and it burned thousands of homes and twelve people died,
they absolutely should release all the nine to one one
calls so we can hear the screaming and the frustration
(09:29):
of the residents who are not like it. In that
Sierra Madre clip, were calling repeatedly and not seeing any
fire trucks show up. And I do think that not
enough attention has been put on Altadena and the surrounding areas,
and that the La County supervisors have not been asked
(09:51):
to explain themselves, and the La County Fire chief has
been asked to explain himself. They had even more homes
burned and even more deaths, and we know at least
that it's most likely so Cal Edison was involved in
igniting the fire. We still don't have an explanation what
(10:13):
ignited the Palisades fire, and nobody wants to talk. They
should release all the nine one one calls. They do
that in California with holding information, whether it's police reports,
nine one one calls to protect criminals because they don't
want the criminal stigmatized. They don't want stereotypes perpetrated. That's
why it's all social justice, woke nonsense. But I think
(10:39):
I think everybody's got a huge interest in hearing about
how the response was sounded in real time according to
the people who were reporting the fire. I mean, if that,
if that fire isn't a big enough reason to suspend
whatever policies they have to create an exception, but you
(11:01):
know everybody, everybody in government benefits by continued silence. If
it's another day nobody talks about it, it's another day
they get away with it.
Speaker 7 (11:10):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
We're on from one to four every day, and then
after four o'clock John Cobelt Show on demand on the
iHeart app. You can listen to what you missed. You
may wonder why all the politicians in California do the
things they do when clearly it's a stupid policy, it's
(11:36):
a corrupt policy, it's the wrong policy, and you may say,
what are they thinking. They can't be voted out of
office in California because it's a one party state. There
are rarely even independents, let alone Republicans challenging these people,
and so after a while, it doesn't matter. They'll take
(11:58):
money in exchange for their votes or policy sees, because
who's going to stop them from taking the money. They
are a lot of these people are not very bright.
If you listen to that little clip we played a
tim of Gavin Newsom and Tim Waltz, the Minnesota governor,
It's like Holy mackerel. You know, yeah, I mean that's
(12:18):
like listening to farm animals. I mean there's nothing going
on there. And then a lot of stuff they believe
in is wrong. But eh, it's not their money, not
their money, What does it matter. They're not going to
be voted out of office, not here, not in California.
So you may think, after all the vicious backlash against
Karen Bass for flying off to Africa when she knew
(12:44):
for two days that a horrendous windstorm was coming and
the fire danger was extreme, she goes to Africa anyway
because she knows whatever happens, she's not going to lose
her job. He say's what she thinks. And then after
witnessing the back lash against the criticism against Bass, you
would think that somebody also involved in this fire story
(13:08):
would not disappear out of the country when something important
needed to be attended to here in California, and I'm
talking about the insurance Commissioner, Ricardo cal fart Lara. Cal
fart Lara is the insurance commissioner, and there was supposed
(13:30):
to be an oversight hearing with state lawmakers in Sacramento.
So the Sacramento legislators actually have an oversight hearing scheduled
and Ricardo cal Fart Lara was supposed to attend, but
he went to Bermuda instead. Bermuda in the Caribbean. Have
(13:51):
you been to Bermuda?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
I have not, that it is on my list.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
That's why it hasn't been invaded or bombed yet or
destroyed by a hurricane. Ricardo Lara went because there was
an insurance summit being held in Bermuda.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Well, of course, who would want to go to the Caribbean.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And he was speaking at it. It's like bass saying, hey,
I got invited to a diplomatic reception for the President
of Ghana. I was asked by the President I had
to go, and same thing here. He's invited to be
the keynote speaker at an insurance and reinsurance conference. And
reinsurance the reinsurance industry are these mega companies that insure
(14:37):
insurance companies that have taken on too many losses, like
when you have a situation the Palisades or the Altadena fire,
and the claims and the losses are so great that
the normal insurance company could go bankrupt. They've paid premiums
(14:58):
to a reinsurance company expensive premiums and the reinsurance company
acts as a backstop. So it turns out forty percent
of the world's reinsurance companies are based in Bermuda, which
makes me think there's probably some very loose laws there.
It's like companies that are incorporated in the Cayman Islands.
(15:22):
It means you can get away with a lot of
funny business as you're collecting those billions and reinsurance payments.
And of course they have to hear from him. And
apparently a zoom doesn't work in Bermuda, because you would
think that he could zoom in and they could put
him on a big screen on a stage right and
he could get the same message, which would be just
(15:43):
a lot of cliches and platitudes and nonsense. He just
had to be in Bermuda. And one thing he didn't
have to be at was the oversight hearing in Sacramento, Bermuda, Sacramento.
Tough call there, h Laris said in his speech, and
(16:07):
this is this is going to be captivating. Just as
the original concept of insurance was so revolutionary and creative,
we are once again called to be bold and creative
at this pivotal moment. In our history, and I hope
you will join me in that effort.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Wait, I don't know what that even means.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
It doesn't mean anything. It's just words. They stand up
and they read words written by someone else, and everybody
sits in the audience and nods, and then they all
go out and get drunk. The California Department of Insurance
has not responded to multiple requests for comment as to
(16:45):
why Larry didn't show up and do his job. Appearing
at the Sacramento Oversight Committee hearing, the executive director of
Consumer Watchdog, one of those activist groups, Carmen Bauber, said
every Californiaan should under why the insurance Commissioner is in
the Caribbean instead of dealing with the insurance crisis at home.
(17:09):
So but Ricardo cal Fart lrat knows that he's not
going to lose any elections, so he'll go to Bermuda,
just like Bass will go to Africa. Because you don't matter,
They don't care. They don't think you're paying attention. You're
just scrolling on your Instagram, reading your text messages. You
(17:32):
don't know how they're destroying and bankrupting the state. You'll
just wake up one day and go, WHOA what happened
must be Trump's fault.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Moistline is running again this week eight seven seven Moist
eighty six. It's back eight seven seven Moist eighty six.
You use the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Coming
up in the next segment, we have adult stories for
dever not necessarily pleasant. Once okay, and.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Then forget it. I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
We have a story on turtles, a turtle smuggler, an
American tourist, a woman who was who ran off with
a wombat. Oh my god, I saw that one. And
then a fisherman from Peru who spent over three months
in the ocean and was found alive and the stuff
(18:33):
he had to eat. Questions for you on man, Yeah,
I want to see if you'd survived that. By the way,
they found him emaciated and in critical condition, which proves
my number one diet theory. And I always say this
and people get irritated with me. Best way to lose weight,
stop eating this guy they need for ninety five days.
(18:56):
He's a bag of bones.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Okay, but wait a second, who would disagree with that?
That's obvious.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
But people people do all the time.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
But if you don't, of course you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Lose It's too simplistic. It's more complicated than that. It's
harder than well. No, if you.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
Don't eat, of course you're gonna lose weight. There's no
effans or butts about it. It's just not healthy.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I mean it's not you know, there's a whole industry
around this. Yeah, yeah, take take drugs.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
No, but John take What I'm saying is, if you.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Books, go to seminars. Yeah, sure, enrich all these charlatte tans.
You come to me, I'll give you this advice for
free stop eating.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
No, that's not healthy.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
You have to you you basically have to eliminate.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
Some calories, cut down on calories. But if you don't
eat it all, then you're gonna die.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Do you see this guy ninety five days? Wait till
you hear what he was eating. Well, we'll talk about
it coming up. You're right, this story. I like when
I exasperate.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
You, well, because it's just some things are just so stupid.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, I know, because the way my wife responds. Gee,
I wonder why exactly the same response. I'm just not
designed for most people. Yeah, all right, this this story
is going to infuriate you, and it's not getting a
lot of coverage. I found this in the West Side Current,
(20:14):
which is a really good West Side of La news website,
and they print the stuff that you used to see
in a major newspaper like the La Times. Uh. It's
about it's about a violent, mentally ill homeless guy. His
name is job Uriah Taylor. It's twenty seven years old,
(20:39):
and about two years ago he was arrested and and this,
this was a this was a nasty crime. He used
a pipe to crush the skull of another homeless guy.
They were sleeping in the same encampment next to the
Fifth Street Expo station in Santa Monica. By the way,
that expos station has done nothing for Santa Monica but
(21:01):
bring hundreds and thousands of homeless people from downtown into
Santa Monica and just ruining the place. And I know
there's another subway line that they're building down Wilshire Boulevard.
In fact, they're closing four blocks in Beverly Hills for
the next three weeks constructing this thing. And it is
(21:23):
going to bring more homeless vagrants, mental patients, and drug
addicts into Beverly Hills and Westwood and beyond. That's all
these subways are good for, is transferring homeless people to
the West Side. Maybe that was the idea. Well, anyway,
job Uriah Taylor. He smashed in the head of another
(21:46):
guy named Christian Hornberg. And Hornberg is alive, but he's
confined to a wheelchair and he'll require medical services for
the rest of his life. So it's a pretty brutal case.
He was charged with attempted murder, three counts of assault
with a deadly weapon, one count of assault with a
(22:07):
deadly weapon with force, and there was a hate crime
enhancement because Taylor was shouting racial slurs at Hornberg. He
claimed that he had been sent to Santa Monica by
his family to target black residents. So he's violent and insane.
He had a record of mental issues schizo effective and
(22:30):
bipolar disorder, drug abuse, heroin, methamphetamine. Here's a question, you've
heard the setup. Do you think they put him in prison? No? Correct,
they did not put him in prison. There's something called
the Office of Diversion and re Entry. They provide permanent
(22:55):
supportive housing for vagrants with mental health disorders who are
in La County jail. It tries to resolve cases early
by releasing clients into the support of housing. This is
after they knew he had this long history of mental
(23:16):
health issues drug issues, and it was culminated with this
violent attack. By the way, there were three attacks that
job Uriah Taylor committed that day three. The worst was
when he smashed Christian Hornberg's head.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
In Everybody Deserves a Fourth Chance.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
The Office Version and re Entry had twenty seven hundred
people in the program last year. They lost track of
over five hundred.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
Oh great, so they're wandering around, Yes.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Five hundred. Job Uriah Taylor's got loose. We're paying for
all this. Video evidence recorded from the Santa Monica Police
Department body cams showed the horrific extent of Hornberg's injuries.
It turns out that representatives from od R, the Office
(24:18):
of Diversion and re Entry, had never seen that video.
There were several attempts to reach out to them, but
nobody returned. Nobody returned calls or emails. This was the attorney,
the Deputy DA representing the victim, Christian Hornberg, David Dickman.
(24:43):
Dickman said that the Office of Diversion and re Entry
had never seen the videos. Nobody would return his calls
or emails.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Even if they saw the videos. You think that that
we the outcome would be different.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
No, Do you believe how much money we're spending on
this guy?
Speaker 4 (25:01):
Okay, so we need Elon Musk to come in. Yes,
and uh so.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't understand. He clearly did the crime, and the
injuries are on video. There's no question he did it.
He's clearly insane. Put him in an insane asylum. Put
him in an insane asylum inside a maximum security prison
and let him sit there for the rest of his life,
and give him enough implement so he could kill himself.
(25:31):
What is this Office of Diversion and re Entry re
entry to? Where where's he gonna go?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Streets of la.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, he'll be back out and he'll smash somebody else's
head in, all right when we come back, smuggle turtles,
a tourist molesting a wombat, and it go that far.
I don't mean that in the sexual sense.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Oh there's another sense.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Yes, you can. You can use it in a non
sexual sense. Okay, it's probably an outdated usage.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I think so.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
And also the Peruvian fisherman who but I'm the best diet.
If you're looking to lose weight, maybe Ozempic's not working
for you. Do what this guy did. Just get in
a boat and disappear into the ocean for three months.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
You're listening to John Cobbels on demand from kf I
Am six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
John Cobelt's show. We have the splashdown. Momentarily you bring
up the NASA broadcast here, should.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
See it any second now, and there you are getting
a great view of Crew nine inside.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
The two astronauts coming back.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Back to Earth. We are awaiting the drogue deploys. This
view coming from the WB fifty seven high altitude plane.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
On the Powa Chutes just deployment deployment splash down in
the Atlantic Ocean near Florida. It's on its way down.
You can see it by looking up in the sky.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
You're very excited as Dragon Freedom continues to make its
way back to planet Earth.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
It's landing off the coast of Florida, and then the
astronauts are going to be transported to Houston. These are
the two and astronauts that have been stuck in space
for nine months. Bulleying made a faulty spacecraft and they
couldn't come home. So Elon Musk sent a SpaceX capsule
(27:36):
to pick.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Them up the coast of Tallahassee, Florida here at two fifty.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Suggest to deployed two more parachutes. So now there's four
slowing the descent of the SpaceX craft into the ocean. Inside.
They we used these SpaceX capsules, don't they?
Speaker 2 (27:54):
He was from inside one of the buckets where the
parachutes are located.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
So we see a great.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
View there of the reefing on those parachutes.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
And as those parachutes, those main parachutes begin to inflate fully,
four beautiful healthy.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
Names, and coming back to Earth, there's Sooney Williams and
Butch Wilmore rsh down.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
We'll start to hear Commander.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Nick Haig copy one thousand, as we.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Heard right there, Commander Nick Haig will be calling out
the altitude of the Dragon capsule. From here on out,
Landing in water is simpler and provides more margin against
unlikely parachute issues.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Did Bullie explain why this didn't work those or are
they going to Karen Bass and they just won't talks.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
Well, they just talked about all you know, they had
mechanical issues and problem and if you're just joining us,
you're looking.
Speaker 6 (28:47):
At eight hundred meters.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
A live view of Crew nine just minutes away from
splashing down off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. Splash down
two minutes from now at two fifty seven pm Pacific.
We do have four healthy manes really doing the job there,
just breath taking views of a calm glass like ocean
off the coast of Tallahassee, Florida. Crew nine just minutes
(29:10):
away from splashing down.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
This is really such an incredible shot.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
There's four ashats coming back, two on the regular return
mission and then the two ways from the mission.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Behind, stationed a couple miles away from the splash down site.
We can see the crew there using their their restraints
as resting places for their arms. They were just in
space moments ago, so their arms were able to float freely.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Floating down gently by spacecraft standards.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Is a gorgeous bluebird day here that we have for
the splashdown of Crew nine. It's incredible to think that
the Dragon capsule just minutes ago was going over seventeen thousand,
seventeen thousand miles per hour and now gently coasting to
(30:08):
a soft splashdown.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Copy two hundred meters. Brace for splashdown, as you can
see there on your screen, continuing to monitor progress of
the Dragon space.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
There we go, and we're going to stand by water
slashdown located on the Gulf of America.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
Watching video a little ahead of the audio. The spaceship
is in the water.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
Now, Wow, that is so cool.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
That is cool. It was such a gentle.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Easy, very gent down Crew nine Back on Earth.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
There you go. So Butcher Willmore and Sunny Williams. After
nine months being stranded by bullying up at the International
Space Station, they've returned to Earth and they're going to
send some kind of ship over to pick them up
and then eventually take them to Houston.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Nick, Alex Butch Sonny on behalf of SpaceX Welcome home.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Did they get an apology from Boeing at all? I
don't know, CEO show say geez, we really screwed that
one up. Sorry, is an amazing all right.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
They just want to put it past them. John, you
know they're home now. It's all over.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
By the way, it's Elon Musk's company that rescued all
these Elon Musk critics. Can you do that? Can you
send up a spacecraft to rescue too astronauts stranded in space?
Can you do that? All right? Somebody's the ankle biters.
You know it was irritating little ankle biters who go
after accomplished, successful people. All right, we will do all
(31:51):
those animal stories next hour, the frons, okay, And when
we come back, though, we have Susan Crabtree coming on.
Susan has co written a book called Fool's Gold, The Radicals,
con Artists and traders who killed the California Dream and
now threaten us all. One of the lead characters is
