Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty you're listening to the John Cobel
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Wow, what a day so far.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We're on every day one till four after four o'clock
John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
On demand on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
And if you're just tuning in, we spent the whole
hour and you should hear this sometime today about the
California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. He has got on forty
eight trips, most of them for pleasure, and charge taxpayers
tens of thousands of dollars on each of these trips
(00:33):
and travel all around the world, Safaris in South Africa,
festivals in New York City, Bogaton, Colombia. He's the insurance commissioner.
Insurance is a disaster here. Very little of his travel
had anything to do with insurance. He's just ripping us
off and enjoying luxury, highest end travel, and he's he's
(00:54):
spending tens of thousands of dollars on some of these
trips just for security. You got to hear the whole hour.
It's it's based on an ABC seven Bay Area in
San Francisco report by Stephanie Sierra so listen to that.
Now we're going to go to ABC News. Lee analyst
Royal Oaks. You know about the government shutdown and Trump
(01:17):
is making some loud noises about firing enormous numbers of
federal workers.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Can he do that? Is it legal?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, Royal's gonna tell us maybe, Royle, how are you?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I'm doing great? John? Yeah. Well, a couple of big
federal employee unions have sued the Trump administration up in
of course, San Francisco. They've got a Clinton appointee, Judge
Susan Nilsen, And here's their theory. They say, okay, we've
shut down. That means the law says you can't spend
any money, you can't create any new obligations while you're
shut down. They say that if Trump fires a bunch
(01:52):
of folks, he's creating a duty to pay severance pay,
and therefore it's technically illegal. It's kind of a creator
of odd argument, but it could work up in San Francisco.
The Trump administration says, oh no, no, they are there exceptions.
You know, during the shutdown, you got the military. You
don't want to have birth of to die, so they
say this is an ex sense.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I guess we should explain that because of the complex
governor government rules civil service rules, Trump is limited to
how many people you can just outright fire because if
money is appropriated by Congress for these positions, then the
executive branch is required to spend the money. But if
(02:35):
there's no budget, there's no money appropriated. Trump says, that's
a different game. I can fire these people because there
is no more funding for them, so we're not violating it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, and isn't it interesting the way you're describing it
in the way the federal employees are saying it. Yeah,
there isn't any real clear answer as to who's right,
and so you know, we may make some new law here,
but it's just such a you know, it's such a
political game of political chicken. I mean, you remember John
back in the day when when Clinton and Gingrich with
lockhorns and the Republicans always looked terrible. They got to blame,
(03:11):
you know, when at Bertha in Biloxi, Mississippi died because
she didn't get her check because it was shut down.
But now recently, maybe the Trump administration has the advantage
and the Democrats are so unpopular that historically worse than
the last forty years. I think they're taking a gamble
because they're the ones that said all they needed was
one or two Democrat senators to join all the Republicans
(03:31):
they avoid the shutdown. But they said, no, we are
going to take the gamble. We're going to make a
comeback here. But yeah, it's just totally confused with politics
and law. So there's no real clear answer as to
who's right legally.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And the answer from a judge might depend on who
appointed him. Again, how many times have you gone through
this in the last year. There might be a San
Francisco judge that sides with the unions, and then the
next judge on the Appeals Court says, no, Trump's right exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And you know, a few months ago we got that
interesting news from the US Supreme Court no more national injunctions.
So before that ruling, this judge up in San Francisco
could have issued a national injunction that would have affected
everybody from Seed the Shining Sea, but now she may
only affect her district up north in the northern California. Now,
of course, whoever loses, probably Trump will go immediately to
(04:21):
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and They generally issue
liberal decisions, but not always. Remember a few months ago
they came out for Trump on a big immigration issue,
and ultimately the Supreme Court gets the last word.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Right, Yes, the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court used to be
overwhelmingly liberal, but it's getting closer to fifty to fifty
because of all the justices that Trump has appointed.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, that's right. The unions are citing this law called
the Anti Deficiency Actor, says the federal government may only
spend what Congress authorized, and Congress has not authorized severance duty.
But really, you know, again it gets down to the
shutdown exceptions. The military is okay, public health and public safety.
You know, it's really going to be resolved, probably in
(05:07):
the next few days by the Court. Of course, hopefully
the shutdown will end. It generally ends before too long.
But it's just always totally infused with politics.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
All right, Royal Oaks, ABC News leg going on us.
Thank you, thanks for explaining that. All right, we uh,
all right, when we come back. The crux of this
fight in Washington, d C. Has to do with Obamacare money.
During COVID, everybody agreed to spend literally trillions of extra
(05:40):
dollars on healthcare Obamacare subsidies, and it was supposed to expire,
and in the latest big beautiful bill, all those subsidies expired.
That's it, and the Democrats want to put it back.
See they never do it be temporary, a temporary boost
(06:02):
during COVID, but spending is never temporary. And then when
you try to roll back the temporary spending, it's like,
oh my god, people are going to die. I actually
heard there was a press conference today AOC and Bernie
Sanders Ashall press conference climbing fifty thousand people are going
to die this year if those subsidies are rolled back,
(06:24):
fifty thousand people are going to die, which is of
course nonsense, but that's the trick. Oh, we have a crisis.
We got to raise the money temporarily, we'll roll it back.
COVID crisis long over what three years, four years gone?
Money is still being spent. We don't have it. So
(06:46):
Bernie and AOC are out there saying fifty thousand are
going to die. Maxine Waters though admitted that part of
this is they want to fund illegal alien healthcare on
the federal level, and we have a clip of her.
We'll play that coming up. And also explain how California
(07:07):
Deuce aven Newsom is engaged in this money laundering scheme
to fund a legal alien healthcare. He's taking money from
the federal government that he should be taking and he's
spending it on illegal alien healthcare.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Tell you about it.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
We come back.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right, we just had Royal Oaks on from ABC
News to explain could Trump actually fire I've seen you know,
he might get rid of like hundreds of thousands of
employees because the funding ran out. The government shut down
because the funding expired end of the fiscal year was
two days ago. And if there's no money appropriated, then
(07:52):
nobody gets paid, so a lot of people got sent home.
Trump is saying, well, normally, normally Trump would not be
able to unilaterally fire a lot of government workers because
the money has been appropriated. And if Congress appropriates money
to spend on employees, then Trump's administration is obligated to
(08:13):
follow through and spend the money. And that's what the
courts have said recently. But what if funding runs out
and there's technically no budget. There is no budget right now,
so can he even fire the employees. No money's been
appropriated for them. Trump says, yes. Now these employee unions
(08:36):
say no. Complicated arguments on both sides, So we're going
to see. One of the sticking points here is the
Democrats want Obamacare subsidies. You know, our tax money used
to help pay for other people's insurance. They dramatically increased
(08:58):
the Obamacare payouts during COVID right, and then it were
supposed to expire, but you know, these things never expire.
Now the Democrats are saying tens of thousands will die
unless we extend these payoffs. It's like, well, no, they
weren't dying four years ago. They're not going to die now.
We just gave away the money. Trump says, no more.
(09:20):
So that's one of the big sticking points. Some of
that health care money, some of that money for Medicaid,
which is the government system to pay for poor people
health care, goes to illegal aliens.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It's hard to get the Democrats admit to that.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
But listen very closely to Maxine Waters, because somewhere in
here she admits to it.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Do Democrats want to prioritize the health care of illegal
aliens over a government shutdown because if the government does
shut down America, excuse.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Me, stop it right there. We're not prioritizing. What we're
doing is say simply, we want to keep the government open,
and we want I want to work with the Republicans
and have a bipotisan agreement to keep this government open.
And healthcare is at the top of agenda.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
But our Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Democrats are demanding healthcare for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
All right, it's not there, it is. She was asked
a direct question. This is Maxine Waters and her wig.
She has a talking wig. The sound come. She's you know, eighty,
you might be one hundred and eighty. It's completely out
of her mind. But there's some district in South Los
(10:37):
Angeles that keeps sending her in every two years. And
so this reporter said directly, Democrats might spend health care
money on the legal aliens. And there was a pause,
and let's plan that last line again.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
It's at the top of agenda.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
But our Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens. That's right.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Democrats are demanding healthcare for every.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Stop again, everybody. That's a backwards way of saying well, yeah,
including illegal aliens. Everybody would that legal aliens would fall
under everybody play some more.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
We want to save lives. We want to make sure
that health care is available to those who would die
but having the help of their government.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
So you're good with the government shutdown even if it
means giving health care to people who aren't Americans.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Well, you keep that's what you're pushing on. What you're
trying to do is you're standing here and you're trying
to make me say that somehow we're going to put
non citizens over Americas.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Quit it, stop it.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
This is the kind of journalism we don't need. You
have divisive No, you're not. You're being devis said, no, please, don't.
You don't need to ask that question. You're just trying
to get controversy here.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You're not going to get me.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
We want to save health care for all people.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay, that's the Maxine Water is the talking wig, and
she admits healthcare for everybody, free healthcare for everybody. That's
what they want to fund. And that's one of the
major fault lines in the shutdown. And you will see
Democrats go on television and I've seen them, I've heard
them and they lie and they say that the well,
(12:22):
it's against the law to give the legal aliens healthcare. Yeah,
it is against the law, but it's done all the time,
especially in California. And here's how it's done. I'll give
you the name more of these Democrats making the claim.
Senator state Senator here in California, Sasha Renee Perez. She
(12:44):
went on x and said, flat out, undocumented immigrants cannot
receive federal Medicare Medicaid. She's criticizing a Republican congresswoman. She's saying,
you're a member of Congress, you should know this. And
somebody wrote back in Matt van Swall, are you the
(13:07):
dumbest senator to ever live? Of course they can. And
this was a great post because it explained in two lines,
the federal government funds Medicaid to the states. The states
fund their own Medicaid, for example Medical for California, Medical
specifically funds illegal alien healthcare, as Newsom has been bragging about.
(13:31):
So it's a money laundering scheme. The medicaid money from
Washington is not supposed to go to illegal aliens, but
in California it goes into medical.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Same money.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's laundered it's cleaned, it's blow dried, and now that
pays the illegal alien health care bills. You know how
much twelve billion last year, Over the last two years,
fifty three billion dollars, twenty three freaking billion dollars on
illegal alien healthcare just in this state. So much illegal
(14:11):
alien healthcare money, Newsom has been forced to cut other
programs to say we're out of money because it ended
up costing double what he claimed. Because two things about Newsom,
he can't do math, and he lies a lot. He
literally can't count. See, he always says he was dyslexic,
(14:34):
which means he has trouble reading. Really he has trouble counting.
I don't know what the word for that is. Is
there a word for math dyslexia. According to the California
Globe dot com Meghan Barth, California is one of eight
(14:55):
states that expanded their Medicaid programs to illegal alien healthcare.
They have implemented a budget gimmick. What they do is
they withdraw large amounts of federal funding and then they
move it through the system. Again, hard to explain on
(15:16):
the radio, but there are now seven hundred thousand illegal
aliens in this state. Getting medicaid, getting our tax money
for their medical bills. Twenty three billion dollars. Medical is broke,
by the way, it is, as they say, insolvent. They
(15:40):
blew so much money out of legal aliens in this state.
Gavin Newsom did that. The thing's broke. They're out of
state money, they're out of federal money. So if you
hear the talking wig or anybody else, call him. It's
against the law for illegal aliens to get a medical
or medicaid. No, no, they get it. They get it
(16:04):
to the tune of twenty three billion over the.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Last two years. That's a complete lot.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
And so that's what the shutdown is about, and that's
worth shutdown.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
The word you were looking for was dyscalcula, disccalcula.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So he's got dyslexia and dyscalcula, Newson does. That's a
new word. Thank you, you're welcome. I always like new words.
I got to use that discalcula. All these legislators have dyscalcula.
Debora Mark is, oh, will.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
We come back?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
A Sinelo cartel leader, one of the major drug cartel
leaders out of Mexico, admitted on CNN that Trump's border
crackdown is working.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Talk about it coming up.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Our voiceline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight
seven seven Moist eighty six. You're using the talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app. If you'd like to be on
the Moist line but you need inspiration, I would listen
to the first hour of our show on the podcast
today because we spent the whole hour on the California
insurance Commissioner known as Riccardo cal fart Lara. Riccardo Lara
(17:18):
has gone on dozens of taxpayer paid trips that have
nothing to do with insurance. He's the insurance commissioner the
insurance system here in California. Every one of us knows
this is a disaster, and he spends all his time traveling,
traveling and living the highest of high lives. I mean,
(17:40):
he's rivaling billionaires with the places he goes and the
money he spends. Even a two week safari in Africa,
yes that we paid for five star hotel rooms, and
he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on private security
that follow them around all over the world private security
(18:04):
in addition to c HP security. We pay for all
of it. Because he thinks that somebody's out to get
a California Insurance commissioner.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I guess I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
That.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And his defense, by the way, according to his spokespeople,
is well, he's gay.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I'm not making this up.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
It's off an ABC seven report out of San Francisco.
And I should credit the name of the reporter because
she did, Stephanie Sierra. You got you got to listen
to the first hour of the show. You just must,
and that ABC seven report and all we analyze it,
you know, paragraph but paragraph. All right, Now, another great report,
(18:44):
this one done by see it in Similoa cartel, one
of the big most powerful, most deadly violent drug cartels
at a Mexico. And Trump said recently they're just going
to war with the drug cartels and people.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's going to go to war. He can't do that Mexicans,
Mexican is one of our allies. You can't.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You can't well going to war. Shutting down the border. Oh,
you can't shut down the border. Shut down. It's not
gonna make a difference anyway. They're gonna get the drugs through.
You know I have tunnels, they'll do it by boat,
they'll fly it over. Shutting down the border is not
going to make a difference. Well, you know how i'd
go to to see if Trump shut down makes a difference.
I'd go to a guy who runs one of the cartels.
(19:28):
This guy is a leader of the Cineloa cartel. This
is Al Chappo's former gang, and Al Choppo, of course
is in prison. And he told the CNN reporter David
Culver they were sitting in the back of an suv.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
That all the.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Drug policies and immigration policies have really caused the Cinela
cartell of problem. We're gonna play you a series of clips.
Let's start with cut number two.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
For six months, we tracked hundreds of cartel recruitment posts
on social media, some aimed at learning teens, coded language
emojis and cash offers offerating thousands per pickup parking line
head deputies are going after the drivers. In the past
(20:23):
six months, the Justice Department reports four hundred and thirty
one people charged with smuggling in Arizona alone. Many recruited
online attorneys say most of their clients are between eighteen
and twenty.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Five American teens. The Mexican drug cartels are using social
media to recruit American teenagers to make thousands of dollars
smuggling drugs from Mexico to the US. Let's now go
to cut three.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
We spend weeks trying to get a senior cartel leader
to speak with us. He finally agrees, meeting us in
a Phoenix parking lot. World with the Tapebola, the Cinelowa
carts out from killing to coordinating smuggling operations.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
He says he's done it all. Do you help in
bringing people drugs.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
And wounds people and drugs? Are you a citizen here?
Speaker 8 (21:18):
No?
Speaker 9 (21:19):
And so you're able to still come in and out
among those helping with transportation US citizens. You all are
using social media to get to young people, young teams
and recruiting them to be part of it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
And some of them, many of them are American citizens too.
That's life.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
That you know.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
So even even though they may get caught and spend
many years in prison, that's their fault. As you see
when you see, for example, the impact of violence and
everything that is caused from the cartel movements from essentially
your employee, do you feel that you're part of this problem.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Yeah, you know, because I go to you, you know,
family when they want to kill you.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You when you.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Defend so you see it as defending yourself.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Yes, that's what I say. I don't I don't like problet.
You have something to run to me? I do something
bad to you.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
I'm not so subtle threat. And yet he seems to
regret some of his own life choices. What is your
motivation for wanting to talk?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Why I come to you?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Exactly one?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
People listen and I tell him it's not a life.
It's not a good you know, it's not good.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
It's not Have you had to kill people?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Now you're fustom And does that not weigh on you?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Because I'm not bad. I'm not bad pressure.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You don't think you're a bad person.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I'm I do that I have before that you have
to do.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Why do you say you do what you have to do?
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Couldn't you stop doing this?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
You can't.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Once you get in, you can't get out. Do you
think what President Trump has been doing has been making
your job tougher?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Oh? Yeah, yes, but.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
It's becoming more difficult, you think.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, he's dressed in a black mask, sunglasses, black gloves,
and a hat to conceal his identity, and obviously they
distorted his voice, but he said flat out that, yeah,
Trump has made it much more difficult, and he's trying
to warn these teenage kids this is not a life.
It's not good. Once you get in, you can't get out.
(23:39):
He still thinks he's a good person, even though he's
killed a lot of people. Everybody always thinks they're a
good person. What is that if you've killed a lot
of people, No, you're not a good person.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Why why can't you own up to that? Once that
so hard you're willing to shoot people in the head,
just say yeah, I'm a bad guy. Out all right?
Got one more clip here and play cut number four.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
This is sure going back to late last year when
we were last here, you would have never seen this
many border patrol focused on four individuals. Most of that
was because they simply didn't have the bandwidth with fewer
migrants crossing agents say they can finally focus on enforcement.
(24:27):
As for local deputies, they press ahead, you got some
pending charges, alright, not so much targeting the migrants, but
rather those who they're paying to cross illegally. 're gonna
be charged with criminal syndicate, a criminal enterprise that they
warn is growing increasingly desperate. John, you heard that cartel
(24:49):
boss say that his job is getting tougher. And because
of that, official say, cartels are now charging much more
to get migrants across. It's jumped from about sixty five
hundred dollars a person that they were charging earlier this
year to now nearly ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Dollars that they're charging. According to the deputies.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
A lot of migrants simply cannot afford that, and so
deputies say roughly a third who have crossed through co
Cheese County alone admit to them that they still owe
the cartels. It's something they call migrant debt. Some are
essentially put on cartel payment plans. Others are forced to
work for the cartels in some capacity so as to
pay down that debt.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, and we were helping finance this with our open borders.
We were funding these drug cartels, turning these people into
slaves everybody. So while they come here, they're hard working,
they just want work. The money was going to the
drug cartels, whatever they were earning at the factory or
out in the fields or or you know, working at
(25:50):
the car wash, that might as going to the drug cartels. Guys,
you run the drug car twels are worth billions of dollars,
and that that's from us. That's from US hiring and
using all this illegal alien labor. This whole southern California
was a slave labor haven. The people and the companies
here would pay the slave wages, and then the illegal
(26:14):
aliens wouldn't even get to keep much of it. It
had to be turned over to the drug cartels that smuggled.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
More coming up.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. Follow
us on social media. John Cobelt Radio. We're on TikTok
now too. Yes, it's very exciting. Apparently on TikTok, Eric
posted a clip of me talking about what was I
talking about again? The government shut down? Yeah, the government
shut down. Not fifty thousand hits, it's up to fifty
four now, fifty four thousand on TikTok talking about the
(26:52):
government shutdown?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Who the hell knew?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
And I was not.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I didn't do a silly dance. I was going to say,
were you dancing.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I was not dancing, I wasn't wiggling. Not shirtless not
it's not shirtless. Uh so you know follow me on
that too.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Coming up after three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
The people in Altadena are so angry because La County
released its after action report on their fire and there
was nobody to blame. They don't believe that. And we're
going to have two women from two different groups, Shawna
Dawson Beer and Lauren Randolph. They want the Attorney General
Rob Bota to do a full investigation because the county
(27:33):
is lying and covering up. That was the biggest whitewash
I've ever seen in my life. Now, we've had a
very intense show today, so I thought I had something
to do, something more lighthearted. Oh good, a story on
how Deborah's brain is aging and decaying rapidly.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Wait what we're turning this on to me?
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I've read this outline of the study and I just
keep thinking, Wow, Wow, she's in trouble.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
This is bad.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Poor sleep can aide your brain. They looked at twenty
seven thousand adults and found those were poor sleep habits
had brain that looked older when they did a scan.
They analyzed that over a thousand different brain features, there
(28:24):
are five sleep habits that protect your brain. Okay, let's
see how you score here being an early bird rather
than a night owl. Yes, okay, all right, well you
got one point getting seven to eight hours of sleep
every night.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
That would be a negative.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That would be a negative. Rarely experiencing insomnia a lot
of insomnia, then, okay. Not feeling excessively sleepy.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
During the day.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Well, well, I yawned a million times.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I know, I know, I'm always inspired to look over
your camera.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I'm bored.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
I'm just sleepy.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I wish I could get screenshots of this video thing.
And I like the person embarrassed twenty five different yawns
just during the show. And so you, uh, not snoring?
I don't, you don't.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
How do you know?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Girls don't. Girls don't fart, They don't snore exactly that
I don't. I don't snore. I really don't. Well, I mean,
how would you know?
Speaker 10 (29:26):
Because I have a husband who sleeps next to me.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
And he doesn't doesn't complain.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
No, I've asked him before. I think when I have
a cold, he says, I make noises, But that's you
know that, that's I can't help that noises.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I'm not going to say I snore. I'm sure you
make a lot of noises, all right, so we'll give
you a three.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
It's healthy sleep is if you have scored four or
five out of five uh uh, three percent had poor
sleep with one or zero healthy habits. You're right on
the borderline there.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I have healthy habits.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Well.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
No, no, all the all these sleep problems are not healthy. No,
but I have other I thought it was talking about.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Eating vegetation is not going to undo the damage caused
by the left lack of sleep.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I exercise it.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
For every single point decrease in the healthy sleep score,
the gap between brain age and actual age grew by
about half a year, So bad sleep could aide your
brain by an extra couple of years, which brings you know,
the dementia on dementia on early it. Here's what happens. Shrinkage.
(30:43):
Your brain shrinks every day, every day you're waking up,
it's a little smaller. Yeah, you got my attention. With shrinkage,
thinning of the brain's outer layer, your hippocampus has reduced
l Have you checked your hippopa.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I haven't, not recently.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You better check it, but might be down a deterioration
of white matter that helps the different brain regions communicate.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
I think I'm going to go get an MRI. So
maybe when you can't come up with a word and
that happens, you know that happened, Well you had a
doozy just a little while. Can't go ahead, John, I
can tell yeh sure.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
All right, Eric was there. Deborah didn't remember that Africa
was a continent.
Speaker 10 (31:31):
Well, it's not that I didn't remember. We were talking
about the Safari and Eric was talking about Tanzania and
Kenya and I said, that's in Africa. And I kept
saying that and he said, I know, but those are
countries and I said, no, not what happened, That's not
what I see that I don't even remember.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
John was describing the Safari. He went on in Kenya
and Tanzania, and I said, oh, the Safari crossed the
border into a different country. And he was like, yeah,
it's part of the whole We booked it through a
travel thing, blah blah blah. And then you were like,
wasn't it in Africa? How's it two different countries. Yeah,
well Kenya and Tanzania are two different countries.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Totally.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
Yes, I add Africa as a country on my brain.
Did not even think, did not even think about what happened,
thank you. Now, okay, that should also prove your point, John,
because I can't even remember something that happened an hour
and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Correctly, you not only messed up Africa and the two countries,
they you mixed up remembering it an hour ago.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
All right, well, there you go, get some sleep.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
There.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I am in desperate need.
Speaker 10 (32:33):
Uh Can I get some propofile please?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Doctor Conrad Burray. I wonder if he's still in business
when we come back. People in Altadena there's there's a
couple of groups and they are very upset with LA
County's fake after action report on the Altadena fire, which
blamed nobody.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
It was nobody's fault.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
For the bad RESI spons for the lack of warnings
for West Altadena where nineteen people died. And we're gonna
have Shauna Dawson beer from a group called Beautiful Altadena
Community Organizer and also Lauren Randolph as well from the
Alta Together Block Captain. That's who shia out Together block Captain.
(33:21):
All right, we'll get them on next Deborah Mark what's
left of her?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Not a lot?
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Live the KFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey, you've been
listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always
hear the show live on KFI Am six forty from
one to four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course,
anytime on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty you're listening to the John Cobel
Podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Wow, what a day so far.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
We're on every day one till four after four o'clock
John Cobelt Show.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
On demand on the iHeart app.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
And if you're just tuning in, we spent the whole
hour and you should hear this sometime today about the
California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara. He has got on forty
eight trips, most of them for pleasure, and charge taxpayers
tens of thousands of dollars on each of these trips
(00:33):
and travel all around the world, Safaris in South Africa,
festivals in New York City, Bogaton, Colombia. He's the insurance commissioner.
Insurance is a disaster here. Very little of his travel
had anything to do with insurance. He's just ripping us
off and enjoying luxury, highest end travel, and he's he's
(00:54):
spending tens of thousands of dollars on some of these
trips just for security. You got to hear the whole hour.
It's it's based on an ABC seven Bay Area in
San Francisco report by Stephanie Sierra so listen to that.
Now we're going to go to ABC News. Lee analyst
Royal Oaks. You know about the government shutdown and Trump
(01:17):
is making some loud noises about firing enormous numbers of
federal workers.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Can he do that? Is it legal?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Well, Royal's gonna tell us maybe, Royle, how are you?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I'm doing great? John? Yeah. Well, a couple of big
federal employee unions have sued the Trump administration up in
of course, San Francisco. They've got a Clinton appointee, Judge
Susan Nilsen, And here's their theory. They say, okay, we've
shut down. That means the law says you can't spend
any money, you can't create any new obligations while you're
shut down. They say that if Trump fires a bunch
(01:52):
of folks, he's creating a duty to pay severance pay,
and therefore it's technically illegal. It's kind of a creator
of odd argument, but it could work up in San Francisco.
The Trump administration says, oh no, no, they are there exceptions.
You know, during the shutdown, you got the military. You
don't want to have birth of to die, so they
say this is an ex sense.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I guess we should explain that because of the complex
governor government rules civil service rules, Trump is limited to
how many people you can just outright fire because if
money is appropriated by Congress for these positions, then the
executive branch is required to spend the money. But if
(02:35):
there's no budget, there's no money appropriated. Trump says, that's
a different game. I can fire these people because there
is no more funding for them, so we're not violating it.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, and isn't it interesting the way you're describing it
in the way the federal employees are saying it. Yeah,
there isn't any real clear answer as to who's right,
and so you know, we may make some new law here,
but it's just such a you know, it's such a
political game of political chicken. I mean, you remember John
back in the day when when Clinton and Gingrich with
lockhorns and the Republicans always looked terrible. They got to blame,
(03:11):
you know, when at Bertha in Biloxi, Mississippi died because
she didn't get her check because it was shut down.
But now recently, maybe the Trump administration has the advantage
and the Democrats are so unpopular that historically worse than
the last forty years. I think they're taking a gamble
because they're the ones that said all they needed was
one or two Democrat senators to join all the Republicans
(03:31):
they avoid the shutdown. But they said, no, we are
going to take the gamble. We're going to make a
comeback here. But yeah, it's just totally confused with politics
and law. So there's no real clear answer as to
who's right legally.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And the answer from a judge might depend on who
appointed him. Again, how many times have you gone through
this in the last year. There might be a San
Francisco judge that sides with the unions, and then the
next judge on the Appeals Court says, no, Trump's right exactly.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And you know, a few months ago we got that
interesting news from the US Supreme Court no more national injunctions.
So before that ruling, this judge up in San Francisco
could have issued a national injunction that would have affected
everybody from Seed the Shining Sea, but now she may
only affect her district up north in the northern California. Now,
of course, whoever loses, probably Trump will go immediately to
(04:21):
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and They generally issue
liberal decisions, but not always. Remember a few months ago
they came out for Trump on a big immigration issue,
and ultimately the Supreme Court gets the last word.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Right, Yes, the Ninth Circuit Appeals Court used to be
overwhelmingly liberal, but it's getting closer to fifty to fifty
because of all the justices that Trump has appointed.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, that's right. The unions are citing this law called
the Anti Deficiency Actor, says the federal government may only
spend what Congress authorized, and Congress has not authorized severance duty.
But really, you know, again it gets down to the
shutdown exceptions. The military is okay, public health and public safety.
You know, it's really going to be resolved, probably in
(05:07):
the next few days by the Court. Of course, hopefully
the shutdown will end. It generally ends before too long.
But it's just always totally infused with politics.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
All right, Royal Oaks, ABC News leg going on us.
Thank you, thanks for explaining that. All right, we uh,
all right, when we come back. The crux of this
fight in Washington, d C. Has to do with Obamacare money.
During COVID, everybody agreed to spend literally trillions of extra
(05:40):
dollars on healthcare Obamacare subsidies, and it was supposed to expire,
and in the latest big beautiful bill, all those subsidies expired.
That's it, and the Democrats want to put it back.
See they never do it be temporary, a temporary boost
(06:02):
during COVID, but spending is never temporary. And then when
you try to roll back the temporary spending, it's like,
oh my god, people are going to die. I actually
heard there was a press conference today AOC and Bernie
Sanders Ashall press conference climbing fifty thousand people are going
to die this year if those subsidies are rolled back,
(06:24):
fifty thousand people are going to die, which is of
course nonsense, but that's the trick. Oh, we have a crisis.
We got to raise the money temporarily, we'll roll it back.
COVID crisis long over what three years, four years gone?
Money is still being spent. We don't have it. So
(06:46):
Bernie and AOC are out there saying fifty thousand are
going to die. Maxine Waters though admitted that part of
this is they want to fund illegal alien healthcare on
the federal level, and we have a clip of her.
We'll play that coming up. And also explain how California
(07:07):
Deuce aven Newsom is engaged in this money laundering scheme
to fund a legal alien healthcare. He's taking money from
the federal government that he should be taking and he's
spending it on illegal alien healthcare.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Tell you about it.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
We come back.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
All right, we just had Royal Oaks on from ABC
News to explain could Trump actually fire I've seen you know,
he might get rid of like hundreds of thousands of
employees because the funding ran out. The government shut down
because the funding expired end of the fiscal year was
two days ago. And if there's no money appropriated, then
(07:52):
nobody gets paid, so a lot of people got sent home.
Trump is saying, well, normally, normally Trump would not be
able to unilaterally fire a lot of government workers because
the money has been appropriated. And if Congress appropriates money
to spend on employees, then Trump's administration is obligated to
(08:13):
follow through and spend the money. And that's what the
courts have said recently. But what if funding runs out
and there's technically no budget. There is no budget right now,
so can he even fire the employees. No money's been
appropriated for them. Trump says, yes. Now these employee unions
(08:36):
say no. Complicated arguments on both sides, So we're going
to see. One of the sticking points here is the
Democrats want Obamacare subsidies. You know, our tax money used
to help pay for other people's insurance. They dramatically increased
(08:58):
the Obamacare payouts during COVID right, and then it were
supposed to expire, but you know, these things never expire.
Now the Democrats are saying tens of thousands will die
unless we extend these payoffs. It's like, well, no, they
weren't dying four years ago. They're not going to die now.
We just gave away the money. Trump says, no more.
(09:20):
So that's one of the big sticking points. Some of
that health care money, some of that money for Medicaid,
which is the government system to pay for poor people
health care, goes to illegal aliens.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It's hard to get the Democrats admit to that.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
But listen very closely to Maxine Waters, because somewhere in
here she admits to it.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
Do Democrats want to prioritize the health care of illegal
aliens over a government shutdown because if the government does
shut down America, excuse.
Speaker 7 (09:51):
Me, stop it right there. We're not prioritizing. What we're
doing is say simply, we want to keep the government open,
and we want I want to work with the Republicans
and have a bipotisan agreement to keep this government open.
And healthcare is at the top of agenda.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
But our Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (10:12):
Democrats are demanding healthcare for everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
All right, it's not there, it is. She was asked
a direct question. This is Maxine Waters and her wig.
She has a talking wig. The sound come. She's you know, eighty,
you might be one hundred and eighty. It's completely out
of her mind. But there's some district in South Los
(10:37):
Angeles that keeps sending her in every two years. And
so this reporter said directly, Democrats might spend health care
money on the legal aliens. And there was a pause,
and let's plan that last line again.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
It's at the top of agenda.
Speaker 6 (10:52):
But our Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens. That's right.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
Democrats are demanding healthcare for every.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Stop again, everybody. That's a backwards way of saying well, yeah,
including illegal aliens. Everybody would that legal aliens would fall
under everybody play some more.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
We want to save lives. We want to make sure
that health care is available to those who would die
but having the help of their government.
Speaker 6 (11:24):
So you're good with the government shutdown even if it
means giving health care to people who aren't Americans.
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Well, you keep that's what you're pushing on. What you're
trying to do is you're standing here and you're trying
to make me say that somehow we're going to put
non citizens over Americas.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Quit it, stop it.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
This is the kind of journalism we don't need. You
have divisive No, you're not. You're being devis said, no, please, don't.
You don't need to ask that question. You're just trying
to get controversy here.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
You're not going to get me.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
We want to save health care for all people.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay, that's the Maxine Water is the talking wig, and
she admits healthcare for everybody, free healthcare for everybody. That's
what they want to fund. And that's one of the
major fault lines in the shutdown. And you will see
Democrats go on television and I've seen them, I've heard
them and they lie and they say that the well,
(12:22):
it's against the law to give the legal aliens healthcare. Yeah,
it is against the law, but it's done all the time,
especially in California. And here's how it's done. I'll give
you the name more of these Democrats making the claim.
Senator state Senator here in California, Sasha Renee Perez. She
(12:44):
went on x and said, flat out, undocumented immigrants cannot
receive federal Medicare Medicaid. She's criticizing a Republican congresswoman. She's saying,
you're a member of Congress, you should know this. And
somebody wrote back in Matt van Swall, are you the
(13:07):
dumbest senator to ever live? Of course they can. And
this was a great post because it explained in two lines,
the federal government funds Medicaid to the states. The states
fund their own Medicaid, for example Medical for California, Medical
specifically funds illegal alien healthcare, as Newsom has been bragging about.
(13:31):
So it's a money laundering scheme. The medicaid money from
Washington is not supposed to go to illegal aliens, but
in California it goes into medical.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Same money.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
It's laundered it's cleaned, it's blow dried, and now that
pays the illegal alien health care bills. You know how
much twelve billion last year, Over the last two years,
fifty three billion dollars, twenty three freaking billion dollars on
illegal alien healthcare just in this state. So much illegal
(14:11):
alien healthcare money, Newsom has been forced to cut other
programs to say we're out of money because it ended
up costing double what he claimed. Because two things about Newsom,
he can't do math, and he lies a lot. He
literally can't count. See, he always says he was dyslexic,
(14:34):
which means he has trouble reading. Really he has trouble counting.
I don't know what the word for that is. Is
there a word for math dyslexia. According to the California
Globe dot com Meghan Barth, California is one of eight
(14:55):
states that expanded their Medicaid programs to illegal alien healthcare.
They have implemented a budget gimmick. What they do is
they withdraw large amounts of federal funding and then they
move it through the system. Again, hard to explain on
(15:16):
the radio, but there are now seven hundred thousand illegal
aliens in this state. Getting medicaid, getting our tax money
for their medical bills. Twenty three billion dollars. Medical is broke,
by the way, it is, as they say, insolvent. They
(15:40):
blew so much money out of legal aliens in this state.
Gavin Newsom did that. The thing's broke. They're out of
state money, they're out of federal money. So if you
hear the talking wig or anybody else, call him. It's
against the law for illegal aliens to get a medical
or medicaid. No, no, they get it. They get it
(16:04):
to the tune of twenty three billion over the.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Last two years. That's a complete lot.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
And so that's what the shutdown is about, and that's
worth shutdown.
Speaker 8 (16:13):
The word you were looking for was dyscalcula, disccalcula.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
So he's got dyslexia and dyscalcula, Newson does. That's a
new word. Thank you, you're welcome. I always like new words.
I got to use that discalcula. All these legislators have dyscalcula.
Debora Mark is, oh, will.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
We come back?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
A Sinelo cartel leader, one of the major drug cartel
leaders out of Mexico, admitted on CNN that Trump's border
crackdown is working.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Talk about it coming up.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Our voiceline is eight seven seven Moist eighty six eight
seven seven Moist eighty six. You're using the talkback feature
on the iHeartRadio app. If you'd like to be on
the Moist line but you need inspiration, I would listen
to the first hour of our show on the podcast
today because we spent the whole hour on the California
insurance Commissioner known as Riccardo cal fart Lara. Riccardo Lara
(17:18):
has gone on dozens of taxpayer paid trips that have
nothing to do with insurance. He's the insurance commissioner the
insurance system here in California. Every one of us knows
this is a disaster, and he spends all his time traveling,
traveling and living the highest of high lives. I mean,
(17:40):
he's rivaling billionaires with the places he goes and the
money he spends. Even a two week safari in Africa,
yes that we paid for five star hotel rooms, and
he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on private security
that follow them around all over the world private security
(18:04):
in addition to c HP security. We pay for all
of it. Because he thinks that somebody's out to get
a California Insurance commissioner.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
I guess I don't know.
Speaker 7 (18:14):
That.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And his defense, by the way, according to his spokespeople,
is well, he's gay.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I'm not making this up.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
It's off an ABC seven report out of San Francisco.
And I should credit the name of the reporter because
she did, Stephanie Sierra. You got you got to listen
to the first hour of the show. You just must,
and that ABC seven report and all we analyze it,
you know, paragraph but paragraph. All right, Now, another great report,
(18:44):
this one done by see it in Similoa cartel, one
of the big most powerful, most deadly violent drug cartels
at a Mexico. And Trump said recently they're just going
to war with the drug cartels and people.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
He's going to go to war. He can't do that Mexicans,
Mexican is one of our allies. You can't.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
You can't well going to war. Shutting down the border. Oh,
you can't shut down the border. Shut down. It's not
gonna make a difference anyway. They're gonna get the drugs through.
You know I have tunnels, they'll do it by boat,
they'll fly it over. Shutting down the border is not
going to make a difference. Well, you know how i'd
go to to see if Trump shut down makes a difference.
I'd go to a guy who runs one of the cartels.
(19:28):
This guy is a leader of the Cineloa cartel. This
is Al Chappo's former gang, and Al Choppo, of course
is in prison. And he told the CNN reporter David
Culver they were sitting in the back of an suv.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
That all the.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Drug policies and immigration policies have really caused the Cinela
cartell of problem. We're gonna play you a series of clips.
Let's start with cut number two.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
For six months, we tracked hundreds of cartel recruitment posts
on social media, some aimed at learning teens, coded language
emojis and cash offers offerating thousands per pickup parking line
head deputies are going after the drivers. In the past
(20:23):
six months, the Justice Department reports four hundred and thirty
one people charged with smuggling in Arizona alone. Many recruited
online attorneys say most of their clients are between eighteen
and twenty.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Five American teens. The Mexican drug cartels are using social
media to recruit American teenagers to make thousands of dollars
smuggling drugs from Mexico to the US. Let's now go
to cut three.
Speaker 9 (20:53):
We spend weeks trying to get a senior cartel leader
to speak with us. He finally agrees, meeting us in
a Phoenix parking lot. World with the Tapebola, the Cinelowa
carts out from killing to coordinating smuggling operations.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
He says he's done it all. Do you help in
bringing people drugs.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
And wounds people and drugs? Are you a citizen here?
Speaker 8 (21:18):
No?
Speaker 9 (21:19):
And so you're able to still come in and out
among those helping with transportation US citizens. You all are
using social media to get to young people, young teams
and recruiting them to be part of it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
And some of them, many of them are American citizens too.
That's life.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
That you know.
Speaker 9 (21:42):
So even even though they may get caught and spend
many years in prison, that's their fault. As you see
when you see, for example, the impact of violence and
everything that is caused from the cartel movements from essentially
your employee, do you feel that you're part of this problem.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
Yeah, you know, because I go to you, you know,
family when they want to kill you.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You when you.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Defend so you see it as defending yourself.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Yes, that's what I say. I don't I don't like problet.
You have something to run to me? I do something
bad to you.
Speaker 9 (22:22):
I'm not so subtle threat. And yet he seems to
regret some of his own life choices. What is your
motivation for wanting to talk?
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Why I come to you?
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Exactly one?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
People listen and I tell him it's not a life.
It's not a good you know, it's not good.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
It's not Have you had to kill people?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Now you're fustom And does that not weigh on you?
Speaker 4 (22:48):
Because I'm not bad. I'm not bad pressure.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
You don't think you're a bad person.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
I'm I do that I have before that you have
to do.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Why do you say you do what you have to do?
Speaker 9 (23:00):
Couldn't you stop doing this?
Speaker 4 (23:02):
You can't.
Speaker 9 (23:07):
Once you get in, you can't get out. Do you
think what President Trump has been doing has been making
your job tougher?
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Oh? Yeah, yes, but.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
It's becoming more difficult, you think.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, he's dressed in a black mask, sunglasses, black gloves,
and a hat to conceal his identity, and obviously they
distorted his voice, but he said flat out that, yeah,
Trump has made it much more difficult, and he's trying
to warn these teenage kids this is not a life.
It's not good. Once you get in, you can't get out.
(23:39):
He still thinks he's a good person, even though he's
killed a lot of people. Everybody always thinks they're a
good person. What is that if you've killed a lot
of people, No, you're not a good person.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Why why can't you own up to that? Once that
so hard you're willing to shoot people in the head,
just say yeah, I'm a bad guy. Out all right?
Got one more clip here and play cut number four.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
This is sure going back to late last year when
we were last here, you would have never seen this
many border patrol focused on four individuals. Most of that
was because they simply didn't have the bandwidth with fewer
migrants crossing agents say they can finally focus on enforcement.
(24:27):
As for local deputies, they press ahead, you got some
pending charges, alright, not so much targeting the migrants, but
rather those who they're paying to cross illegally. 're gonna
be charged with criminal syndicate, a criminal enterprise that they
warn is growing increasingly desperate. John, you heard that cartel
(24:49):
boss say that his job is getting tougher. And because
of that, official say, cartels are now charging much more
to get migrants across. It's jumped from about sixty five
hundred dollars a person that they were charging earlier this
year to now nearly ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Dollars that they're charging. According to the deputies.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
A lot of migrants simply cannot afford that, and so
deputies say roughly a third who have crossed through co
Cheese County alone admit to them that they still owe
the cartels. It's something they call migrant debt. Some are
essentially put on cartel payment plans. Others are forced to
work for the cartels in some capacity so as to
pay down that debt.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Yeah, and we were helping finance this with our open borders.
We were funding these drug cartels, turning these people into
slaves everybody. So while they come here, they're hard working,
they just want work. The money was going to the
drug cartels, whatever they were earning at the factory or
out in the fields or or you know, working at
(25:50):
the car wash, that might as going to the drug cartels. Guys,
you run the drug car twels are worth billions of dollars,
and that that's from us. That's from US hiring and
using all this illegal alien labor. This whole southern California
was a slave labor haven. The people and the companies
here would pay the slave wages, and then the illegal
(26:14):
aliens wouldn't even get to keep much of it. It
had to be turned over to the drug cartels that smuggled.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
More coming up.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock. Follow
us on social media. John Cobelt Radio. We're on TikTok
now too. Yes, it's very exciting. Apparently on TikTok, Eric
posted a clip of me talking about what was I
talking about again? The government shut down? Yeah, the government
shut down. Not fifty thousand hits, it's up to fifty
four now, fifty four thousand on TikTok talking about the
(26:52):
government shutdown?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Who the hell knew?
Speaker 1 (26:55):
And I was not.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
I didn't do a silly dance. I was going to say,
were you dancing.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
I was not dancing, I wasn't wiggling. Not shirtless not
it's not shirtless. Uh so you know follow me on
that too.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
Coming up after three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
The people in Altadena are so angry because La County
released its after action report on their fire and there
was nobody to blame. They don't believe that. And we're
going to have two women from two different groups, Shawna
Dawson Beer and Lauren Randolph. They want the Attorney General
Rob Bota to do a full investigation because the county
(27:33):
is lying and covering up. That was the biggest whitewash
I've ever seen in my life. Now, we've had a
very intense show today, so I thought I had something
to do, something more lighthearted. Oh good, a story on
how Deborah's brain is aging and decaying rapidly.
Speaker 10 (27:51):
Wait what we're turning this on to me?
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, No.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I've read this outline of the study and I just
keep thinking, Wow, Wow, she's in trouble.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
This is bad.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Poor sleep can aide your brain. They looked at twenty
seven thousand adults and found those were poor sleep habits
had brain that looked older when they did a scan.
They analyzed that over a thousand different brain features, there
(28:24):
are five sleep habits that protect your brain. Okay, let's
see how you score here being an early bird rather
than a night owl. Yes, okay, all right, well you
got one point getting seven to eight hours of sleep
every night.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
That would be a negative.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That would be a negative. Rarely experiencing insomnia a lot
of insomnia, then, okay. Not feeling excessively sleepy.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
During the day.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Well, well, I yawned a million times.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
I know, I know, I'm always inspired to look over
your camera.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I'm bored.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
I'm just sleepy.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I wish I could get screenshots of this video thing.
And I like the person embarrassed twenty five different yawns
just during the show. And so you, uh, not snoring?
I don't, you don't.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
How do you know?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Girls don't. Girls don't fart, They don't snore exactly that
I don't. I don't snore. I really don't. Well, I mean,
how would you know?
Speaker 10 (29:26):
Because I have a husband who sleeps next to me.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
And he doesn't doesn't complain.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
No, I've asked him before. I think when I have
a cold, he says, I make noises, But that's you
know that, that's I can't help that noises.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
I'm not going to say I snore. I'm sure you
make a lot of noises, all right, so we'll give
you a three.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Uh uh.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
It's healthy sleep is if you have scored four or
five out of five uh uh, three percent had poor
sleep with one or zero healthy habits. You're right on
the borderline there.
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I have healthy habits.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
Well.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
No, no, all the all these sleep problems are not healthy. No,
but I have other I thought it was talking about.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Eating vegetation is not going to undo the damage caused
by the left lack of sleep.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
I exercise it.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
For every single point decrease in the healthy sleep score,
the gap between brain age and actual age grew by
about half a year, So bad sleep could aide your
brain by an extra couple of years, which brings you know,
the dementia on dementia on early it. Here's what happens. Shrinkage.
(30:43):
Your brain shrinks every day, every day you're waking up,
it's a little smaller. Yeah, you got my attention. With shrinkage,
thinning of the brain's outer layer, your hippocampus has reduced
l Have you checked your hippopa.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
I haven't, not recently.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You better check it, but might be down a deterioration
of white matter that helps the different brain regions communicate.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
I think I'm going to go get an MRI. So
maybe when you can't come up with a word and
that happens, you know that happened, Well you had a
doozy just a little while. Can't go ahead, John, I
can tell yeh sure.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
All right, Eric was there. Deborah didn't remember that Africa
was a continent.
Speaker 10 (31:31):
Well, it's not that I didn't remember. We were talking
about the Safari and Eric was talking about Tanzania and
Kenya and I said, that's in Africa. And I kept
saying that and he said, I know, but those are
countries and I said, no, not what happened, That's not
what I see that I don't even remember.
Speaker 8 (31:47):
John was describing the Safari. He went on in Kenya
and Tanzania, and I said, oh, the Safari crossed the
border into a different country. And he was like, yeah,
it's part of the whole We booked it through a
travel thing, blah blah blah. And then you were like,
wasn't it in Africa? How's it two different countries. Yeah,
well Kenya and Tanzania are two different countries.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Totally.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
Yes, I add Africa as a country on my brain.
Did not even think, did not even think about what happened,
thank you. Now, okay, that should also prove your point, John,
because I can't even remember something that happened an hour
and a half ago.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Correctly, you not only messed up Africa and the two countries,
they you mixed up remembering it an hour ago.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
All right, well, there you go, get some sleep.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
There.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
I am in desperate need.
Speaker 10 (32:33):
Uh Can I get some propofile please?
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Doctor Conrad Burray. I wonder if he's still in business
when we come back. People in Altadena there's there's a
couple of groups and they are very upset with LA
County's fake after action report on the Altadena fire, which
blamed nobody.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
It was nobody's fault.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
For the bad RESI spons for the lack of warnings
for West Altadena where nineteen people died. And we're gonna
have Shauna Dawson beer from a group called Beautiful Altadena
Community Organizer and also Lauren Randolph as well from the
Alta Together Block Captain. That's who shia out Together block Captain.

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