The John Kobylt Show Hour 1 (08/21) - Gov. Newsom lied when he said California would have no reason to move forward with their redistricting plan if Texas didn't move forward with theirs. A Texas legislator had to leave a zoom call because she was told she was committing a felony by being on the call. Chris LeGras comes on the show to talk about some rallies happening around LA to raise awareness against SB79 which aims to get rid of single-family homes. There is a deepfake video of Amy Klobuchar and there was a fight over chicken tenders on a Carnival cruise.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We got so much we could go on for hours
and hours. We're gonna get to it right away. We've
got some special things today. Well for one, I know
it's a Thursday, but we have a bonus round to
the Moistline from last Friday. It got preempted because Trump
and Putin came out. We thought it was going to
(00:23):
be a big deal and it turned out to be
a dud, but it erased the last ten minutes of
the show. And so we're going to run the second
round of the Moistline from last week, and that'll be
at the end of today's program. We're also going to
have on Chris Legratt in about a half an hour.
He's a local journalist. And we warned you about this
repeatedly and send it Bill seventy nine. It would allow
(00:46):
developers to build a fifteen story fifteen story apartment buildings
in single family home neighborhoods. If your neighbor sells out
to a developer, and depending exactly where your street is,
you could see a massive apartment building grow grow up
next to you. And there's unlimited about that can be
(01:08):
built in any neighborhood with no accommodations for parking, no
accommodations for anything.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Imagine that.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Imagine you have fifteen stories of apartment dwellers and some
some of those are going to be assigned to low
income housing people. Well, that's going to change the neighborhood,
isn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It's a real thing. It's coming out of the Senate.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's from the bowels of Scott, the diseased bowels of
Scott Wiener, the San Francisco state Senator. Anyway, Chrys Lagara,
journalists coming on after one point thirty, All right, what's
going on right this minute in Sacramento. There's a debate
on the California redistricting plan. That's that newsman is trying
(01:49):
to shove down our throats. This is the plan that
will eliminate at least five Republican congressmen in the state.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Five.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
There's only nine after this, there might only be four left.
And this is his vendetta against Trump. And he told
I know this is going to be hard to believe,
so I'm telling you in advance.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
This is what's known as a trigger warning.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Gavin Newsom told a big lie again, and we're going
to play the lie now and tell you what's happening today.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
We may be back to the ballot here in California
trying to write this wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Governor answered, it's happy to answer any questions.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Governor, I just want to confirm if Texas does not
move forward with this effort, though with California not either,
we have no need to move forward.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
We have no need to move forward if Texas doesn't. Well,
that's Ashley's evolved from KCRA Channel three and Sacramento. The
only reporter in the state who covers Sacramento politics. Nobody
bothers here in Los Angeles. So Ashley has a story
that just came out a short time ago that despite
(03:06):
what Newsom said, he did tell a lie because California's
Democratic leaders are now moving forward with an effort to
change congressional district maps, so they heavily favored Democrats regardless
of what Texas or other Republican states too. How about
that Newsom lied it was promoted by Democrats as a
(03:27):
way to counteract efforts in Texas to send more Republicans
to Congress.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
They will now no longer rely on what Texas does.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
They made changes to the legislation this morning, minutes before
they began debating and voting, and they're gonna present new
maps to the voters. She writes that Newsom and other
Democrats have repeatedly insisted that California would have no need
to enact new maps if Texas stopped their redistricting efforts.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But now.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Newsom and the legislature is doing exactly that. So they
used the big lie to sell it to try to
tamp down opposition, and then of course at the last
second they switched. There would be new maps drawn heavily
favoring Democrats, so that they would have over ninety percent
of the congressional seats in this state, and it would
(04:21):
take effect for the twenty twenty six, twenty eight, and
twenty thirty elections.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And we have to reiterate.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
In two thousand and eight and twenty ten, California voters
twice voted to take the power away from elected officials
and allow only an independent panel to draw the districts.
Twenty ten was specifically about congressional districts, and the voters
(04:49):
said overwhelmingly sixty one to thirty nine, no politicians, we
liked the panel, and now Newsom is trying to create
such anti Trump hysteria that they're going to ram this
thing through so that independent and Republican voters do not
get a representative in over ninety percent of California. Generally,
(05:14):
Republican candidates get about forty percent of the vote, and
as it is, they don't even get twenty percent of
the actual congress people. But now that's going to be
less than ten percent. Underdo some's idea Texas should not
do this. But whatever Texas does, it's not our business
(05:39):
people who want to vote for a Republican representative, and
in some cases have for many many years. You know,
some districts they've had the same guy for many years.
Those districts are going to disappear. These congressmen are going
to disappear because Newsom is having a hissy fit and
his ambition is boiling over and he's going to show
(06:01):
he's the big dog, he's the major player here. And
of course all the rear end licking sycophants in the
Democratic legislature are going right along with it. But it's
absolutely wrong. The public in a poll just last week
(06:22):
said no to this idea. Sixty four to thirty six.
And what the weapon Newsom has is he's going to
try to gin up Trump hysteria. This is from the
man who presides over a state that is number one
in unemployment, number one in poverty, number one in gas taxes,
(06:45):
income taxes, and sales taxes, number one. And you'd think,
at least if he was getting in all that tax money,
we wouldn't have all this poverty and all this unemployment.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But no, we have that too.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So I don't understand why. I mean, this must be
some bizarre version of battered wife syndrome, where Californians are
so used to being beaten and abused and have their
money and their freedoms stolen from them. You remember COVID
that you don't have the resistance anymore, You don't have
(07:24):
you don't have the desire anymore. Maybe you're starting to think, well,
maybe he's right, Maybe we do deserve all this. Yeah,
maybe we do deserve maybe you know, And they start
feeling empathy for their tormentor he and the legislature are
tormenting you. If you have the worst unemployment, the worst poverty,
the highest sales tax, the highest gas tax, the highest
(07:47):
income tax, not to mention all the other the worst
business climate number fifty and now you're going to reward
him and turn over ninety percent of the legislature over
to whatever he wishes it be.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Wow, we need some massive psychological therapy here. He's really
browbeaten most of the public into submission. We will continue
with more on this coming up.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobelt Radio. And we're headed for thirty
five thousand followers. And if you're not one of the followers,
be one of the followers. All right, So we're dealing
with let me a think I'm going to call battered
voter syndrome, where people are so beaten up by the
(08:48):
incredibly tough economic conditions in California. And I'm going to
keep repeating. We got the highest unemployment rate in the state,
highest poverty rate, we have the most expensive housing, we
have the most expensive rental market in the country. All Right,
all those numbers are worst in the country, highest unemployment
in the country, highest taxes in the country, gas and
(09:13):
income and sales tax, highest poverty in the country, highest
housing costs in the country, highest rental market in the country.
And we've got this Goofisdufish governor that's obsessed with how
Texas is drawing the district lines. He's so obsessed he
(09:33):
wants to redraw our lines even though there's a constitutional
amendment against it. And so he's got all his kiss
ass lackeys sucking up to in the legislature, and they're
passing this bill so that we have a vote in
November to redraw the districts. The ultimate goal to remove
nearly all the Republican representation in Congress from California, so
(09:58):
that there would be at least forty eight at fifty
two Democrats. So you independent and Republican voters, you're out
of luck. You don't get representation anymore at all, even
if you have had that kind of representation for years
or decades or.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
All your life.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Now, the latest lie is he said that they wouldn't
do it unless Texas changed their lines, and it doesn't.
It shouldn't matter what Texas does. It doesn't matter what
Texas does. I'd live in California. You live in California.
We keep track of now what the other forty nine
states do. And when they in somebody some other state
(10:40):
does something stupid like we've got to match it or
we've got to counter it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's really ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh and by the way, it's going to cost us
maybe two hundred million dollars. Now today they won't say,
the legislators will not say. The Department of Finance is
supposed to release the cost. They're guessing two hundred million
because in the with the recall of Newsom in twenty
twenty one, that recall election costs two hundred million, two
(11:10):
hundred million dollars. Two hundred million dollars we're going to
spend so we can vote on something that we voted
on fifteen years ago when it passed sixty one to
thirty nine. I have never run into a single person
in fifteen years and said, you know, you know what
we need. We need Gavin Newsom to draw the districts
(11:30):
for us. So I don't like this independent panel. Of course,
most people didn't even know there was an independent panel,
or if they knew about it when they voted on it,
they forgot about it two days later. But yeah, we've
had an independent panel, and even with the Independent panel.
It still was forty three to nine democratic, and now
Newsom wants to he'd squeeze everybody out. If you could,
(11:53):
he'd make it fifty two nothing, you know, because he's
worried about democracy. Democracy usually implies there's a choice, there's
a diversity.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah. It's funny how little they're.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Interested in diversity when it comes to political representation. And
he's not only obsessed with redrawing the California lines, he
has stuck his greasy little nose into the Texas issued directly.
I'm going to play you a clip here coming up
(12:30):
in just a minute. Do you have Oh, I guess
we don't have that to you.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I didn't send that one.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Which one the sacrament the woman in Texas, the Texas Democrat,
Nicole Collier. No, she was in the well and then I
screwed up, didn't, Yes, you did, I did screw up. Well,
it's it's connected to the Fox News story Texas dem
abruptly leaves call with Newso and we did the print out.
(13:04):
I don't know how quickly you can find it, but
we'll play it whenever you get it. It's Nicole Collier,
the video was at the top. Let me read you
this part. That's my fault. Nicole Collier is a Texas
state representative. Now, she was on lockdown along with the
other Democrats after they disappeared from the legislature for two weeks.
(13:26):
They refused to vote on the Texas redistricting plan, and
they all fled to Chicago or New York, and they
stayed in bad motels and some of them shocked up
with hookers for two weeks.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
And Nicole Collier.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Was on a conference call and she was told she
has to report immediately or she's going to get arrested.
And I guessed this was a zoom conference and there
was a recording of it, and the recording leaked, and
here's what it sounded like right.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Now on the floor. Right now, I'm still under house
arrest and not fruciating.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
In fact, I am confided.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
In the back round apparently and Republican German I decided
that she's got to go see right now. But I'm
trying to share my message with.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You this a second.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So what I'm saying is all the Democratic legislators are
really under house arrest inside the Democratic legislative offices in
Texas they're not allowed to leave, and if they do leave,
they have to have a minder following them around.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
They have like armed officers.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So she's in this room and she's on she's on
this zoom call, this video conference call. And I'll tell
you with who in just a second. You're not gonna
believe this. And and she's being called, she's being summoned
to leave.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Play some more.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
They were are setting the stage so that we can
have a legal record to present to the court about
these proposed maps that we know our environment and in
section two the Uilding Rights Act, these maps will prevent
black and brown individuals from selecting the candidates of their
(15:19):
choice because they're cracking and packing these districts. They are
splitting them up, and they're not allowing communities that share
have shared interest to vote for the candidate of their choice. Sorry, acting,
they said, it's a felony for me to do this.
Apparently I can't be on the floor or in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Well you told me I was only allowed to be
here in the bathroom. No, hang on by everybody, I've.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Got to go, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So Nicole Colliger says, I can't be on the floor
or in the bathroom. You told me I was allowed
to be here in the bathroom. She told somebody off camera, no,
hang on, everybody, bye, everybody, I gotta go. So they
were threatening to arrest her for being in whatever room
she was in, and I guess that wasn't on the video,
but apparently both Newsom and Corey Booker were on the call.
(16:07):
Booker expressed outrage, saying, well, this is outrageous. Let me
tell you something. Representative Collier in the bathroom has more
dignity than Donald Trump in the overall office. So she
was hiding in the bathroom on this conference call and
Newsom was there, and Newsom said, well, there you go,
and he was nodding his head. According to a person
who saw the video, So instead of governing the state,
(16:32):
he's not even working on the California redistricting, he's working
on the Texas redistricting. And he's on the phone with
this representative who's in a bathroom. He's on the phone
and she's in the bathroom, and he was agreeing that
(16:52):
she was being oppressed. She can show up for work
for two weeks, she wouldn't vote. And so now they're
under house arrest until they vote. Oh, that's the law
in Texas. What are you gonna do again? Not our business,
that's where Texas people who sort out. But let's Newsom's
involved in this story. I couldn't believe it. What's he
doing on this video? Call everything? But what's going on
(17:19):
in California? And almost everything in California is going in
the toilet and this is what he does. That's unbelievable.
Chris Legrat is coming up next. He's a journalist. It's
Senate Bill seventy nine. This is another atrocity out of Sacramento.
It would mean that you could have fifteen story apartment
(17:41):
buildings being erected in your single family neighborhood. They're going
to destroy local zoning and it's gonna be apartment buildings.
Some of it's going to be given over to low income. Yeah,
it's the just the ruination, ruination of the suburbs.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And this is something Newson's going to sign. He hates us,
he hates everybody.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Coming up after two o'clock, we're going to talk with
Alex Stone. ABC News we Nathan Hockman the La County
DA has been speaking out against the Menendez brothers who
are in the process of parole hearings today and tomorrow,
and we'll have Alex on after two with the latest
(18:33):
on that. Let's go to Chris Lagron Now, he's a
Los Angeles based journalist. This is about Senate Bill seventy nine.
We talked about this yesterday. Senate Bill seventy nine would
allow apartment buildings has called us fifteen stories to be
built in single family neighborhoods. If you're within a certain
distance of a bus or a train stop, you can
(18:55):
see apartment buildings going up on your blocks. I think
it's within a half a mile, even even if the
trainer bus stop is proposed and not yet built and
may not be built for many years. And it is
a massive it's intended to be a massive destruction of
single family neighborhoods. And there are protests that are going
(19:15):
to be organized tomorrow in Pacific Palisades and the San
Fernando Valley in San Diego and places in northern California.
I'll give you those details at the end of the segment.
Let's go to Chris Lagra right now, Chris.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
How are you good, John?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Are you all right?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
This is from the bowels of Scott Wiener, the state Senator,
which is always bad news. Explain as easily as possible
to people what this law entails.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Well, you summed it up. You really hit the high
points or the low points, as it were, and the
key takeaway is, yes, you could get a minimum of
five to seven and potentially as many as twelve to
fifteen stories in a single family or not just single family,
a small you know, low density multi family neighborhoods, smaller, older,
(20:04):
ironically a partner.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
All right, we got a problem with the phone, so
we'll try to make a connection there with Chris Legras. Yeah,
this has been in the works for a while. They
remember the the the Scott Wiener types. These are far
far left wing people who basically hate suburban life. They
(20:29):
hate that you have a car, that you have a lawn,
that you have a swimming pool. Let's continue now, we
got Chris back. Okay, so it could be at least
fifteen stories high, potentially.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Family, but existing affordable multifamily. So every kind of neighborhood
that's not a mini Manhattan is in the targets of
SB seventy nine. And as time goes on, if there's
one thing we've learned about these bills when we actually
get enacted, is they very quickly expand. So right now,
the supporters of SB seventy and nine argue that it's
(21:05):
going to have a minimal impact only around you know,
major major transit lines. That's not accurate. Scott Wiener is
a lot of things. He's not stupid. He's amended this
bill twelve different times to try to wrangle it through
the legislative process. And so at the end of the day,
what form this bill takes when it gets passed, should
(21:26):
it get passed, I should say this year is really
irrelevant because this is going to be the beast that
Wiener and the Yumbi's have been pushing. This is SB
fifty all over again. So this is the big one.
And as you mentioned, there are rallies. Are actually not tomorrow,
They're on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Between say and Saturday.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Saturday Saturday, from ten to noon in Pacific Palisades will
be in the US Bank parking lot directly across the
street from the Palisades Village Green on Sunset Boulevard, and
then we'll all be out in the San Fernando Valley
on Foothill Boulevard, and I'll get that specific address by
the end of the segments. We've also got folks who
(22:07):
are going to be gathering on the stepsas City Hall
in San Francisco, at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal in Marin County,
in Torrance, from Osa Beach, San Diego, Lakeview, and then
many other locations where there will just be you know,
small groups even individuals documenting their communities, their neighborhoods already
happening with a lot of this existing legislation, because SB
(22:29):
seventy nine is just the last and worst of a
lot of legislation. It has already passed over the last
eight years in the newsome Wiener era. So we also
are encouraging people to just go out in your community.
If there's some monstrosity under construction, take a picture of it,
send it in. You can get to info at our
(22:50):
neighborhood Voices dot com, our neighborhood Voices statewide five well
one C four nonprofit. It is sort of the umbrella
that helped organize this group. I do a lot of
work with them. But the important point, John, is that
this is really the grassroots and the himbas are highly financed,
highly highly compensated by big tech, big finance, big real estate,
(23:12):
et cetera. And they do a very good job of
portraying themselves as scrappy grassroots activists. They are anything. But
you know, you and I are very familiar with Streets
for All here in LA for example, and they're backed
by a billionaire hedge fund manager in New York City.
So what you're going to see on Saturday, all up
and down our great state is neighbors from all backgrounds,
(23:33):
all walks of life, all income levels, rallying because we
care about our neighborhoods. We want our neighborhoods to be livable,
we want them to be affordable, and we recognize that
SB seventy nine will do exactly the opposite, creating unaffordable, ugly,
unlivable stack and pack monstrosities. And I will move to
Greenland if that happens.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Now, this is I can't express how dangerous this is
to your neighborhood. I mean, this will destroy the just
the peace and sanctity of your neighborhood, the look of it,
just at everything.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean that.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I mean they're gonna they're gonna pack you know, five seven, ten,
fifteen stories. There's not even good any any provisions for parking.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Right, Oh, no, they can actually build because again there's
other laws already on the books for the cloud developers.
As long as they're within a certain distance of a
transit line, they can eliminate off street parking. And if
you're in some place like Altadena or the Palisades or
Paradise or Sonoma, you got stuck in gridlock trying to freeze,
flee with you at your family and your pets as
(24:35):
is you know, imagine sitting out there, I mean metro
is fifteen twenty thirty fifty minutes wait on a good day,
Imagine waiting for a bus as the flames are barreling
down at you at forty miles matter, right.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I want to emphasize if you have a bus line
within a half mile of your house, then your neighborhood's
at risk.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Your neighborhood is absolutely at risk. And we've already seen
John in the Palisades. We have documented and this is
this is not speculation. There were several developers last month
purchase burned parcels in the Palisades and put in applications
for multifamily developments under an existing law SB nine, one
would have taken a single family parcel and added five units,
(25:14):
and another would have added three units. And this was right,
you know, very central palisades, very visible. This wasn't up
in the hills where people, you know, you can kind
of get away with stuff, so it's already happening. This
is again not speculative or conspiratorial. There are the big developers,
and you know, I always add, don't we don't talk
about developers as a group. There are just some who
(25:35):
are out there who don't care, who are unscrupulous, who
have dollar signs in their eyes when they look at
Altadena and the palisades. So that's what needs to be stopped.
And the fact that there are not even carve outs
in SB seventy nine four disaster zones just shows you
that this is this. They don't care about community, they
don't care about your family, they don't care about your neighborhood.
(25:57):
They just want to make money. And SP seventy nine
a Brinks truck of cash pulled up in front of
the biggest developers on the planet, and we just can't
let that happen. We want housing, we want affordable housing,
we want livable communities, and SB seventy nine is an
absolute threat to all of those things. And again, not
just folks in wealthy suburbs. As a matter of fact,
(26:19):
it's working class and non white communities. If you look
at the maps of what SB seventy nine would do
to South La, would do to Inglewood, would do to
Lambert Park, Baldwin Hills, communities like that they boil heights.
And that's why Isabelle Herrado, who is DSA by the way,
I mean she is otherwise very much in.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
This camp democratic socialist.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Democratic Socialists, and on Tuesday she spoke passionately against SB
seven nine because of what it would do to boil heights.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yeah, it's going to destroy all all kinds of neighborhoods
and all economic classes. All right, Chris, I got to go.
I'm going to give you I'm going to read the
list of sites for the rallies on Saturday, and i'll
give your website again. Thank you for coming on, Christopher Lagrath.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Thanks, John, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Okay, So ten am on Saturday in Pacific Palisades in
the US Bank parking Lot fifteen three h five West Sunset,
that's ten o'clock Saturday. And then in Sunland nine o'clock Saturday,
seventy nine thirty seven Foothill Boulevard in Sunland, that's the
San Fernando Valley Rally. There's one in San Diego. There
(27:28):
are others here in southern California and northern California. To
find out all the information, our neighborhood Voices dot com.
Our neighborhood Voices dot com. Saturday is the day for
the rallies. This is really important because Newsom and Wiener
are out to destroy your suburban neighborhoods. Whether you live
(27:50):
in the Palisades, you live somewhere wealthy, middle class, working class, white, Black, Hispanic,
east Side, west.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Side, all all over the state. This is not just La.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
All over the state, you are going to see single
family homes replaced by up to fifteen stories of apartment monstrosities.
It's horrific. They are so such obsessive fanatics.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
We'll do more.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Six forty after two o'clock.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
We're talking with Alex Stone and see what progress has
been made with the Menendez brothers' parole hearings. It was
going to be Eric Menendez getting his hearing today. Lyle
Tomorrow is happening in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
And yes, the.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
The parent killers could get out so much from fifty
years to life unbelievable. We'll talk more about that. Alex
Stone from ABC News will tell us the latest coming up.
I got a couple of funny here. Remember Amy Klobuchar,
(29:04):
She is the Democratic senator from Minnesota. She ran for
president for a brief time, I believe, back in twenty twenty. Well,
she and another Senator named Marshall Blackburn Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
hearing on data privacy a few weeks ago, and there
was a discussion it's about privacy in all the tech spaces. Well,
(29:33):
somebody made an AI deep fake of Clobachar and it
made the rounds all over the internet. So this is
Klobahar supposedly speaking at this hearing.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Look, all we're saying is that we want representation. Okay,
if Republicans are going to have beautiful girls with perfect
in their ads, we want ads for Democrats too. You know,
we want ugly fat wearing pink wigs and long fake nails,
being loud and working on top of a cop car
at a waffle house because they didn't get extra catchup.
(30:05):
You know, just because we're the party of ugly people
doesn't mean we can't be featured in ads. Okay, And
I know most of us are too fat to wear jeans,
are too ugly to go outside, but we want representation.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
It sounds pretty close to her, but if you watch
the video you can tell by the way the lips
are moving and it's a doctored video.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Well, she got so upset about it that she wrote
a piece in The New York Times saying, although I
immediately could tell that someone made a deep fake, there
was no getting around the fact that it looked it
sounded very real. Democrats were too fat to wear jeans,
are too ugly to go outside, and the bleeped out
(30:56):
phrase was a Sydney swing. These perfect breasts breasts good one. Yes,
it's like a game show, you win TikTok. After Klobuchar complained,
took it down, Meta labeled it as ai X refused
(31:18):
to take it down or label it.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's where I got it from.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Now, that's there are no rules, no rules on X
it's wild. Now, this is this is funny. It's a
short clip. This is a buffet on a carnival cruise ship.
I think it was coming back from the Bahamas to
Miami and uh, I guess it was free chicken tenders
at the buffet and a wild fight broke out. Listen,
(32:01):
chicken tenders, dozens of people, young guys. You think there
was booze involved? Two am at the buffet line on
the carnival cruise.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, My wife wanted to go on a Carnival cruise
in the Gribbean. I told you this morning. No, no, no,
she just wanted to go on a cruise to the Gribbean.
I said, not Carnival. I was gonna say, you.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Think they're chicken tenders when you go to Iceland.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We've got we've got Alex Stone coming up with the
latest on the Menendez brothers begging to get out of prison.
We've got Brigina d'anstina live in the KFI twenty for
our newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to the John Cobalt
Show podcast. You can always hear the show live on
KFI Am six forty from one to four pm every
Monday through Friday, and of course anytime on demand on
(32:47):
the iHeartRadio app.
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We got so much we could go on for hours
and hours. We're gonna get to it right away. We've
got some special things today. Well for one, I know
it's a Thursday, but we have a bonus round to
the Moistline from last Friday. It got preempted because Trump
and Putin came out. We thought it was going to
(00:23):
be a big deal and it turned out to be
a dud, but it erased the last ten minutes of
the show. And so we're going to run the second
round of the Moistline from last week, and that'll be
at the end of today's program. We're also going to
have on Chris Legratt in about a half an hour.
He's a local journalist. And we warned you about this
repeatedly and send it Bill seventy nine. It would allow
(00:46):
developers to build a fifteen story fifteen story apartment buildings
in single family home neighborhoods. If your neighbor sells out
to a developer, and depending exactly where your street is,
you could see a massive apartment building grow grow up
next to you. And there's unlimited about that can be
(01:08):
built in any neighborhood with no accommodations for parking, no
accommodations for anything.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Imagine that.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Imagine you have fifteen stories of apartment dwellers and some
some of those are going to be assigned to low
income housing people. Well, that's going to change the neighborhood,
isn't it.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
It's a real thing. It's coming out of the Senate.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
It's from the bowels of Scott, the diseased bowels of
Scott Wiener, the San Francisco state Senator. Anyway, Chrys Lagara,
journalists coming on after one point thirty, All right, what's
going on right this minute in Sacramento. There's a debate
on the California redistricting plan. That's that newsman is trying
(01:49):
to shove down our throats. This is the plan that
will eliminate at least five Republican congressmen in the state.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Five.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
There's only nine after this, there might only be four left.
And this is his vendetta against Trump. And he told
I know this is going to be hard to believe,
so I'm telling you in advance.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
This is what's known as a trigger warning.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Gavin Newsom told a big lie again, and we're going
to play the lie now and tell you what's happening today.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
We may be back to the ballot here in California
trying to write this wrong.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Governor answered, it's happy to answer any questions.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Governor, I just want to confirm if Texas does not
move forward with this effort, though with California not either,
we have no need to move forward.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
We have no need to move forward if Texas doesn't. Well,
that's Ashley's evolved from KCRA Channel three and Sacramento. The
only reporter in the state who covers Sacramento politics. Nobody
bothers here in Los Angeles. So Ashley has a story
that just came out a short time ago that despite
(03:06):
what Newsom said, he did tell a lie because California's
Democratic leaders are now moving forward with an effort to
change congressional district maps, so they heavily favored Democrats regardless
of what Texas or other Republican states too. How about
that Newsom lied it was promoted by Democrats as a
(03:27):
way to counteract efforts in Texas to send more Republicans
to Congress.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
They will now no longer rely on what Texas does.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
They made changes to the legislation this morning, minutes before
they began debating and voting, and they're gonna present new
maps to the voters. She writes that Newsom and other
Democrats have repeatedly insisted that California would have no need
to enact new maps if Texas stopped their redistricting efforts.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
But now.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Newsom and the legislature is doing exactly that. So they
used the big lie to sell it to try to
tamp down opposition, and then of course at the last
second they switched. There would be new maps drawn heavily
favoring Democrats, so that they would have over ninety percent
of the congressional seats in this state, and it would
(04:21):
take effect for the twenty twenty six, twenty eight, and
twenty thirty elections.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And we have to reiterate.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
In two thousand and eight and twenty ten, California voters
twice voted to take the power away from elected officials
and allow only an independent panel to draw the districts.
Twenty ten was specifically about congressional districts, and the voters
(04:49):
said overwhelmingly sixty one to thirty nine, no politicians, we
liked the panel, and now Newsom is trying to create
such anti Trump hysteria that they're going to ram this
thing through so that independent and Republican voters do not
get a representative in over ninety percent of California. Generally,
(05:14):
Republican candidates get about forty percent of the vote, and
as it is, they don't even get twenty percent of
the actual congress people. But now that's going to be
less than ten percent. Underdo some's idea Texas should not
do this. But whatever Texas does, it's not our business
(05:39):
people who want to vote for a Republican representative, and
in some cases have for many many years. You know,
some districts they've had the same guy for many years.
Those districts are going to disappear. These congressmen are going
to disappear because Newsom is having a hissy fit and
his ambition is boiling over and he's going to show
(06:01):
he's the big dog, he's the major player here. And
of course all the rear end licking sycophants in the
Democratic legislature are going right along with it. But it's
absolutely wrong. The public in a poll just last week
(06:22):
said no to this idea. Sixty four to thirty six.
And what the weapon Newsom has is he's going to
try to gin up Trump hysteria. This is from the
man who presides over a state that is number one
in unemployment, number one in poverty, number one in gas taxes,
(06:45):
income taxes, and sales taxes, number one. And you'd think,
at least if he was getting in all that tax money,
we wouldn't have all this poverty and all this unemployment.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
But no, we have that too.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
So I don't understand why. I mean, this must be
some bizarre version of battered wife syndrome, where Californians are
so used to being beaten and abused and have their
money and their freedoms stolen from them. You remember COVID
that you don't have the resistance anymore, You don't have
(07:24):
you don't have the desire anymore. Maybe you're starting to think, well,
maybe he's right, Maybe we do deserve all this. Yeah,
maybe we do deserve maybe you know, And they start
feeling empathy for their tormentor he and the legislature are
tormenting you. If you have the worst unemployment, the worst poverty,
the highest sales tax, the highest gas tax, the highest
(07:47):
income tax, not to mention all the other the worst
business climate number fifty and now you're going to reward
him and turn over ninety percent of the legislature over
to whatever he wishes it be.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Wow, we need some massive psychological therapy here. He's really
browbeaten most of the public into submission. We will continue
with more on this coming up.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
You can follow us at John Cobelt Radio on social
media at John Cobelt Radio. And we're headed for thirty
five thousand followers. And if you're not one of the followers,
be one of the followers. All right, So we're dealing
with let me a think I'm going to call battered
voter syndrome, where people are so beaten up by the
(08:48):
incredibly tough economic conditions in California. And I'm going to
keep repeating. We got the highest unemployment rate in the state,
highest poverty rate, we have the most expensive housing, we
have the most expensive rental market in the country. All Right,
all those numbers are worst in the country, highest unemployment
in the country, highest taxes in the country, gas and
(09:13):
income and sales tax, highest poverty in the country, highest
housing costs in the country, highest rental market in the country.
And we've got this Goofisdufish governor that's obsessed with how
Texas is drawing the district lines. He's so obsessed he
(09:33):
wants to redraw our lines even though there's a constitutional
amendment against it. And so he's got all his kiss
ass lackeys sucking up to in the legislature, and they're
passing this bill so that we have a vote in
November to redraw the districts. The ultimate goal to remove
nearly all the Republican representation in Congress from California, so
(09:58):
that there would be at least forty eight at fifty
two Democrats. So you independent and Republican voters, you're out
of luck. You don't get representation anymore at all, even
if you have had that kind of representation for years
or decades or.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
All your life.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Now, the latest lie is he said that they wouldn't
do it unless Texas changed their lines, and it doesn't.
It shouldn't matter what Texas does. It doesn't matter what
Texas does. I'd live in California. You live in California.
We keep track of now what the other forty nine
states do. And when they in somebody some other state
(10:40):
does something stupid like we've got to match it or
we've got to counter it.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
It's really ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Oh and by the way, it's going to cost us
maybe two hundred million dollars. Now today they won't say,
the legislators will not say. The Department of Finance is
supposed to release the cost. They're guessing two hundred million
because in the with the recall of Newsom in twenty
twenty one, that recall election costs two hundred million, two
(11:10):
hundred million dollars. Two hundred million dollars we're going to
spend so we can vote on something that we voted
on fifteen years ago when it passed sixty one to
thirty nine. I have never run into a single person
in fifteen years and said, you know, you know what
we need. We need Gavin Newsom to draw the districts
(11:30):
for us. So I don't like this independent panel. Of course,
most people didn't even know there was an independent panel,
or if they knew about it when they voted on it,
they forgot about it two days later. But yeah, we've
had an independent panel, and even with the Independent panel.
It still was forty three to nine democratic, and now
Newsom wants to he'd squeeze everybody out. If you could,
(11:53):
he'd make it fifty two nothing, you know, because he's
worried about democracy. Democracy usually implies there's a choice, there's
a diversity.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah. It's funny how little they're.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Interested in diversity when it comes to political representation. And
he's not only obsessed with redrawing the California lines, he
has stuck his greasy little nose into the Texas issued directly.
I'm going to play you a clip here coming up
(12:30):
in just a minute. Do you have Oh, I guess
we don't have that to you.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I didn't send that one.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Which one the sacrament the woman in Texas, the Texas Democrat,
Nicole Collier. No, she was in the well and then I
screwed up, didn't, Yes, you did, I did screw up. Well,
it's it's connected to the Fox News story Texas dem
abruptly leaves call with Newso and we did the print out.
(13:04):
I don't know how quickly you can find it, but
we'll play it whenever you get it. It's Nicole Collier,
the video was at the top. Let me read you
this part. That's my fault. Nicole Collier is a Texas
state representative. Now, she was on lockdown along with the
other Democrats after they disappeared from the legislature for two weeks.
(13:26):
They refused to vote on the Texas redistricting plan, and
they all fled to Chicago or New York, and they
stayed in bad motels and some of them shocked up
with hookers for two weeks.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
And Nicole Collier.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Was on a conference call and she was told she
has to report immediately or she's going to get arrested.
And I guessed this was a zoom conference and there
was a recording of it, and the recording leaked, and
here's what it sounded like right.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Now on the floor. Right now, I'm still under house
arrest and not fruciating.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
In fact, I am confided.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
In the back round apparently and Republican German I decided
that she's got to go see right now. But I'm
trying to share my message with.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
You this a second.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So what I'm saying is all the Democratic legislators are
really under house arrest inside the Democratic legislative offices in
Texas they're not allowed to leave, and if they do leave,
they have to have a minder following them around.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
They have like armed officers.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
So she's in this room and she's on she's on
this zoom call, this video conference call. And I'll tell
you with who in just a second. You're not gonna
believe this. And and she's being called, she's being summoned
to leave.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Play some more.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
They were are setting the stage so that we can
have a legal record to present to the court about
these proposed maps that we know our environment and in
section two the Uilding Rights Act, these maps will prevent
black and brown individuals from selecting the candidates of their
(15:19):
choice because they're cracking and packing these districts. They are
splitting them up, and they're not allowing communities that share
have shared interest to vote for the candidate of their choice. Sorry, acting,
they said, it's a felony for me to do this.
Apparently I can't be on the floor or in the bathroom.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Well you told me I was only allowed to be
here in the bathroom. No, hang on by everybody, I've.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Got to go, all right.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
So Nicole Colliger says, I can't be on the floor
or in the bathroom. You told me I was allowed
to be here in the bathroom. She told somebody off camera, no,
hang on, everybody, bye, everybody, I gotta go. So they
were threatening to arrest her for being in whatever room
she was in, and I guess that wasn't on the video,
but apparently both Newsom and Corey Booker were on the call.
(16:07):
Booker expressed outrage, saying, well, this is outrageous. Let me
tell you something. Representative Collier in the bathroom has more
dignity than Donald Trump in the overall office. So she
was hiding in the bathroom on this conference call and
Newsom was there, and Newsom said, well, there you go,
and he was nodding his head. According to a person
who saw the video, So instead of governing the state,
(16:32):
he's not even working on the California redistricting, he's working
on the Texas redistricting. And he's on the phone with
this representative who's in a bathroom. He's on the phone
and she's in the bathroom, and he was agreeing that
(16:52):
she was being oppressed. She can show up for work
for two weeks, she wouldn't vote. And so now they're
under house arrest until they vote. Oh, that's the law
in Texas. What are you gonna do again? Not our business,
that's where Texas people who sort out. But let's Newsom's
involved in this story. I couldn't believe it. What's he
doing on this video? Call everything? But what's going on
(17:19):
in California? And almost everything in California is going in
the toilet and this is what he does. That's unbelievable.
Chris Legrat is coming up next. He's a journalist. It's
Senate Bill seventy nine. This is another atrocity out of Sacramento.
It would mean that you could have fifteen story apartment
(17:41):
buildings being erected in your single family neighborhood. They're going
to destroy local zoning and it's gonna be apartment buildings.
Some of it's going to be given over to low income. Yeah,
it's the just the ruination, ruination of the suburbs.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And this is something Newson's going to sign. He hates us,
he hates everybody.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Coming up after two o'clock, we're going to talk with
Alex Stone. ABC News we Nathan Hockman the La County
DA has been speaking out against the Menendez brothers who
are in the process of parole hearings today and tomorrow,
and we'll have Alex on after two with the latest
(18:33):
on that. Let's go to Chris Lagron Now, he's a
Los Angeles based journalist. This is about Senate Bill seventy nine.
We talked about this yesterday. Senate Bill seventy nine would
allow apartment buildings has called us fifteen stories to be
built in single family neighborhoods. If you're within a certain
distance of a bus or a train stop, you can
(18:55):
see apartment buildings going up on your blocks. I think
it's within a half a mile, even even if the
trainer bus stop is proposed and not yet built and
may not be built for many years. And it is
a massive it's intended to be a massive destruction of
single family neighborhoods. And there are protests that are going
(19:15):
to be organized tomorrow in Pacific Palisades and the San
Fernando Valley in San Diego and places in northern California.
I'll give you those details at the end of the segment.
Let's go to Chris Lagra right now, Chris.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
How are you good, John?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Are you all right?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
This is from the bowels of Scott Wiener, the state Senator,
which is always bad news. Explain as easily as possible
to people what this law entails.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Well, you summed it up. You really hit the high
points or the low points, as it were, and the
key takeaway is, yes, you could get a minimum of
five to seven and potentially as many as twelve to
fifteen stories in a single family or not just single family,
a small you know, low density multi family neighborhoods, smaller, older,
(20:04):
ironically a partner.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
All right, we got a problem with the phone, so
we'll try to make a connection there with Chris Legras. Yeah,
this has been in the works for a while. They
remember the the the Scott Wiener types. These are far
far left wing people who basically hate suburban life. They
(20:29):
hate that you have a car, that you have a lawn,
that you have a swimming pool. Let's continue now, we
got Chris back. Okay, so it could be at least
fifteen stories high, potentially.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Family, but existing affordable multifamily. So every kind of neighborhood
that's not a mini Manhattan is in the targets of
SB seventy nine. And as time goes on, if there's
one thing we've learned about these bills when we actually
get enacted, is they very quickly expand. So right now,
the supporters of SB seventy and nine argue that it's
(21:05):
going to have a minimal impact only around you know,
major major transit lines. That's not accurate. Scott Wiener is
a lot of things. He's not stupid. He's amended this
bill twelve different times to try to wrangle it through
the legislative process. And so at the end of the day,
what form this bill takes when it gets passed, should
(21:26):
it get passed, I should say this year is really
irrelevant because this is going to be the beast that
Wiener and the Yumbi's have been pushing. This is SB
fifty all over again. So this is the big one.
And as you mentioned, there are rallies. Are actually not tomorrow,
They're on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Between say and Saturday.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Saturday Saturday, from ten to noon in Pacific Palisades will
be in the US Bank parking lot directly across the
street from the Palisades Village Green on Sunset Boulevard, and
then we'll all be out in the San Fernando Valley
on Foothill Boulevard, and I'll get that specific address by
the end of the segments. We've also got folks who
(22:07):
are going to be gathering on the stepsas City Hall
in San Francisco, at the Larkspur Ferry Terminal in Marin County,
in Torrance, from Osa Beach, San Diego, Lakeview, and then
many other locations where there will just be you know,
small groups even individuals documenting their communities, their neighborhoods already
happening with a lot of this existing legislation, because SB
(22:29):
seventy nine is just the last and worst of a
lot of legislation. It has already passed over the last
eight years in the newsome Wiener era. So we also
are encouraging people to just go out in your community.
If there's some monstrosity under construction, take a picture of it,
send it in. You can get to info at our
(22:50):
neighborhood Voices dot com, our neighborhood Voices statewide five well
one C four nonprofit. It is sort of the umbrella
that helped organize this group. I do a lot of
work with them. But the important point, John, is that
this is really the grassroots and the himbas are highly financed,
highly highly compensated by big tech, big finance, big real estate,
(23:12):
et cetera. And they do a very good job of
portraying themselves as scrappy grassroots activists. They are anything. But
you know, you and I are very familiar with Streets
for All here in LA for example, and they're backed
by a billionaire hedge fund manager in New York City.
So what you're going to see on Saturday, all up
and down our great state is neighbors from all backgrounds,
(23:33):
all walks of life, all income levels, rallying because we
care about our neighborhoods. We want our neighborhoods to be livable,
we want them to be affordable, and we recognize that
SB seventy nine will do exactly the opposite, creating unaffordable, ugly,
unlivable stack and pack monstrosities. And I will move to
Greenland if that happens.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Now, this is I can't express how dangerous this is
to your neighborhood. I mean, this will destroy the just
the peace and sanctity of your neighborhood, the look of it,
just at everything.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
I mean that.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I mean they're gonna they're gonna pack you know, five seven, ten,
fifteen stories. There's not even good any any provisions for parking.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Right, Oh, no, they can actually build because again there's
other laws already on the books for the cloud developers.
As long as they're within a certain distance of a
transit line, they can eliminate off street parking. And if
you're in some place like Altadena or the Palisades or
Paradise or Sonoma, you got stuck in gridlock trying to freeze,
flee with you at your family and your pets as
(24:35):
is you know, imagine sitting out there, I mean metro
is fifteen twenty thirty fifty minutes wait on a good day,
Imagine waiting for a bus as the flames are barreling
down at you at forty miles matter, right.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I want to emphasize if you have a bus line
within a half mile of your house, then your neighborhood's
at risk.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Your neighborhood is absolutely at risk. And we've already seen
John in the Palisades. We have documented and this is
this is not speculation. There were several developers last month
purchase burned parcels in the Palisades and put in applications
for multifamily developments under an existing law SB nine, one
would have taken a single family parcel and added five units,
(25:14):
and another would have added three units. And this was right,
you know, very central palisades, very visible. This wasn't up
in the hills where people, you know, you can kind
of get away with stuff, so it's already happening. This
is again not speculative or conspiratorial. There are the big developers,
and you know, I always add, don't we don't talk
about developers as a group. There are just some who
(25:35):
are out there who don't care, who are unscrupulous, who
have dollar signs in their eyes when they look at
Altadena and the palisades. So that's what needs to be stopped.
And the fact that there are not even carve outs
in SB seventy nine four disaster zones just shows you
that this is this. They don't care about community, they
don't care about your family, they don't care about your neighborhood.
(25:57):
They just want to make money. And SP seventy nine
a Brinks truck of cash pulled up in front of
the biggest developers on the planet, and we just can't
let that happen. We want housing, we want affordable housing,
we want livable communities, and SB seventy nine is an
absolute threat to all of those things. And again, not
just folks in wealthy suburbs. As a matter of fact,
(26:19):
it's working class and non white communities. If you look
at the maps of what SB seventy nine would do
to South La, would do to Inglewood, would do to
Lambert Park, Baldwin Hills, communities like that they boil heights.
And that's why Isabelle Herrado, who is DSA by the way,
I mean she is otherwise very much in.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
This camp democratic socialist.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Democratic Socialists, and on Tuesday she spoke passionately against SB
seven nine because of what it would do to boil heights.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Yeah, it's going to destroy all all kinds of neighborhoods
and all economic classes. All right, Chris, I got to go.
I'm going to give you I'm going to read the
list of sites for the rallies on Saturday, and i'll

find out all the information, our neighborhood Voices dot com.
Our neighborhood Voices dot com. Saturday is the day for
the rallies. This is really important because Newsom and Wiener
are out to destroy your suburban neighborhoods. Whether you live
(27:50):
in the Palisades, you live somewhere wealthy, middle class, working class, white, Black, Hispanic,
east Side, west.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Side, all all over the state. This is not just La.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
All over the state, you are going to see single
family homes replaced by up to fifteen stories of apartment monstrosities.
It's horrific. They are so such obsessive fanatics.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
We'll do more.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Six forty after two o'clock.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
We're talking with Alex Stone and see what progress has
been made with the Menendez brothers' parole hearings. It was
going to be Eric Menendez getting his hearing today. Lyle
Tomorrow is happening in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
And yes, the.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
The parent killers could get out so much from fifty
years to life unbelievable. We'll talk more about that. Alex
Stone from ABC News will tell us the latest coming up.
I got a couple of funny here. Remember Amy Klobuchar,
(29:04):
She is the Democratic senator from Minnesota. She ran for
president for a brief time, I believe, back in twenty twenty. Well,
she and another Senator named Marshall Blackburn Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
hearing on data privacy a few weeks ago, and there
was a discussion it's about privacy in all the tech spaces. Well,
(29:33):
somebody made an AI deep fake of Clobachar and it
made the rounds all over the internet. So this is
Klobahar supposedly speaking at this hearing.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
Look, all we're saying is that we want representation. Okay,
if Republicans are going to have beautiful girls with perfect
in their ads, we want ads for Democrats too. You know,
we want ugly fat wearing pink wigs and long fake nails,
being loud and working on top of a cop car
at a waffle house because they didn't get extra catchup.
(30:05):
You know, just because we're the party of ugly people
doesn't mean we can't be featured in ads. Okay, And
I know most of us are too fat to wear jeans,
are too ugly to go outside, but we want representation.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
It sounds pretty close to her, but if you watch
the video you can tell by the way the lips
are moving and it's a doctored video.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Well, she got so upset about it that she wrote
a piece in The New York Times saying, although I
immediately could tell that someone made a deep fake, there
was no getting around the fact that it looked it
sounded very real. Democrats were too fat to wear jeans,
are too ugly to go outside, and the bleeped out
(30:56):
phrase was a Sydney swing. These perfect breasts breasts good one. Yes,
it's like a game show, you win TikTok. After Klobuchar complained,
took it down, Meta labeled it as ai X refused
(31:18):
to take it down or label it.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That's where I got it from.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Now, that's there are no rules, no rules on X
it's wild. Now, this is this is funny. It's a
short clip. This is a buffet on a carnival cruise ship.
I think it was coming back from the Bahamas to
Miami and uh, I guess it was free chicken tenders
at the buffet and a wild fight broke out. Listen,
(32:01):
chicken tenders, dozens of people, young guys. You think there
was booze involved? Two am at the buffet line on
the carnival cruise.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Yeah, My wife wanted to go on a Carnival cruise
in the Gribbean. I told you this morning. No, no, no,
she just wanted to go on a cruise to the Gribbean.
I said, not Carnival. I was gonna say, you.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Think they're chicken tenders when you go to Iceland.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We've got we've got Alex Stone coming up with the
latest on the Menendez brothers begging to get out of prison.
