Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty. You're listening to the John Cobelt
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Can you close my door?
I don't know who was in here. Close the door.
We're out every day from one until four o'clock. After
four o'clock John Cobel' show on demand on the iHeart app.
So in case you miss stuff, that's where you can
(00:21):
do your remedial. Your remedial listening and coming up in
two thirty, well after Debora's two thirty news, you may
have heard about the about the lunatic Egyptian national who
had Molotov cocktails and was setting older Jewish people on fire.
(00:48):
They were publicly they had this public event. I don't
know if it's exactly a protest, but they were trying
to remind the world that Hamas still holds Israeli hostages.
And so once a week they go out in public
and remind everybody. And so this illegal alien from Egypt
(01:09):
showed up and started yelling about free Palestine and Molotov cocktails.
He had a torch basically, and he burned eight people's
It was like a makeshift flamethrower. I mean again, an
illegal alien. He overstayed his visa. Biden crowd not interested
(01:32):
in tracking him down. Clearly a terrorist. They don't know
if he has part of an organized terror group or
this was his own insanity. Anyway, we're going to talk
with Don Mahollick about that coming up. The LA Times
had a curious story over the weekend. We often talked
about the Palastades fire because Deborah, we don't know what
(01:55):
started it yet, right, No, we don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
We don't mean, we still think there's a possibility it
was fireworks from New Year's Days.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Right, But after five full months they hadn't followed up
on that.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, I kind of just went away.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, I mean almost as if it wasn't a big story.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Right Los Angeles, there are We were in the Palisades
over the weekend, and there there are signs of life.
It doesn't look quite as bad because they did. Army
Corps of Engineers, by the way, deserves a lot of
credit the federal government. You see Bass running around saying
a record amount of time that that's the federal government,
(02:35):
that's the Army, it's not her. They've cleared a lot
of the debris and rubble, so rather than looking like
a bombed out city in World War Two. It looks
more like land that had been cleared for new development,
and there's a lot of empty lots. But everything is
(02:57):
all the All the debris has been hauled away some
areas not some owners. Homeowners decided not to get the
debris cleared by the Army Corps engineers. I don't know
what their story is because their ruins are still there,
and there's a lot of businesses that haven't cleaned up
their ruins yet, and probably there's insurance problems, financial problems involved.
(03:21):
But the La Times early on had targeted among the
reasons the fire department didn't respond properly and the city
didn't respond properly, is that the fire officials didn't have
enough fire trucks. And Kristin Crowley, who got fired by Bass,
(03:43):
was blaming broken fire engines and a lack of mechanics
to fix them, and that's why there weren't more firefighters
because she set a thousand firefighters home and they asked
her why, she goes, I didn't have fire trucks to
put them on. Time's new investigation is taking issue with
(04:03):
what she says. First of all, the Times reviewed engine
work orders many of the broken engines had been out
of service for many months or even years. I can't
tell you how little money the City of Los Angeles
Karen Bass, the city Council, Eric Garcetti, maybe back to
(04:24):
Via Ragosa, how little money the council and the mayor
has spent on the fire department. It is shocking, it's overwhelming.
I've told you repeatedly the money they did spend only
covers half a fire department. That's true, and it's actually
sickening to be because I thought, what's the first thing
(04:48):
you fund is the police. What's the second thing? It's
fire and you get that fully funded, and then you
can let everybody else fight over the crumbs. But this
is so. There were forty engines that had to be repaired,
and they were not available when the fire hit, and
(05:09):
Crowley said, that's a a big reason why things got
out of control. They sent firefighters home because they didn't
have fire trucks to sit on. She said the department
should have three times as many mechanics, but says the
times many of the broken engines had been out of
service for many months or years, and not necessarily for
(05:32):
lack of mechanics. Meantime, they had dozens of other engines
available that could have been staffed and deployed in advance
of the fire. Now we'll get to the ditty gritty here,
because I know there's a lot of issues coming together,
but let's focus on the main thing. Where were the
fire engines deployed for the fire? And where were the
fire engines did to be deployed in advance of the fire?
(05:53):
And Kristin Crowley tried to say, well, we didn't have
any they were all broken, and yeah, a lot of
them were broken, but there were others. It looks as
if they have a large reserve of fire engines that
are taken out of daily service, but they hang on
to them and they use them a lot. They're not
I've been up to eighty percent of these reserve fire
(06:16):
trucks get used trucks, engines and ambulances, So even though
they're out of service, technically they're not really out of service.
Because we have so few new engines and so few
of them are repaired promptly. It all points to the
same thing. There's no funding here, but the Times story
(06:41):
is saying, well, there were fire engines available, Crowley just
didn't use them. According to an LA Fire Department report,
sixty percent are operating. Sixty percent of fire engines are
out beyond their recommended life spans one hundred and twenty
(07:04):
seven at A two hundred and ten, these trucks should
have been retired. Twenty nine out of sixty. Ladder trucks
also operating beyond their recommended life spans. So they use
a lot of reserve engines. And as the Assistant Chief
(07:25):
Peter Sou said, as our fleet gets older, the repairs
become more difficult. We're now doing things like rebuilding suspensions,
rebuilding pump transmissions, rebuilding transmissions, engine overhauls. And he says,
the problem is money. They never fund the fire department.
Why did that little weasel Garcetti never fund the fire department?
(07:50):
What was wrong with him? He left so much destruction
behind and then he goes running off to India. Last
scene dancing in a local costume looking like an utter fool.
Well you did that at the Pastathon, I did that
for the children. I did that to help hungry children. Yes,
(08:14):
you did so it's different.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I know.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I just wanted to point out that something in common
with him, because you both did that silly dance.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I have nothing in common with them. The bass now
claims last year they they're buying. Last year they bought
ten engines, five trucks, twenty ambulances, and this new budget
includes ten more engines, four trucks and ten ambulances. So
(08:45):
they're trying to rebuild back there. But do you know
what is what is they say, is really causing a
lot of wear and tear. Is there so many nine
to one one calls because the vagrants start fourteen thousand
fires a year. So one of the reason since the
fire engines have so much are falling apart, is they're
used a lot because there's thousands and thousands of bumfires.
(09:10):
Thousands of those mental patients and drug addicts set so
many fires that it's aging the entire fleet much more quickly.
They're always on the road, they're always being used, racking
up miles. All the equipment is constantly being stressed out.
(09:34):
It's amazing, Like it's amazing that the Garcetti era, how
much damage he did, which reverberates to this day, and
how much damage allowing tens of thousands of vagrants to
get on the streets. You know how many people they
kill how many people, well, how many of them die?
How much business has been lost because stores had to
(09:58):
close because normal people wouldn't venture into these neighborhoods anymore,
or wouldn't venture at night anymore. The reverberations, the financial
and physical consequences of allowing thousands of drug addicts and
crazy people to roam the streets is just tremendous. And
it all stemmed from Garcetti and the city council now
(10:19):
over the last ten years. It's just it's just so horrific,
and this is stuff most people don't know, don't even
think about. I mean, I mean, the vagrance has ruined
so much. They've ruined so much. And I could take
(10:40):
you to one hundred cities tomorrow where this isn't going on,
just here, this sick obsession, and I could get all
self righteous about it, and then I always remember, oh, yeah,
there's billions of dollars missing. That's why, that's why they
allow it, because there's billions of dollars that all that
the mobster's made in government on the homeless industry.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Follow us at John Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio
on social media and we're closing in on thirty thousand
followers on Instagram. We're going to have Don Mahallak on
in a few minutes. He's the ABC News correspondent and
he's also the law enforcement contributor, retired Secret Service agent,
(11:31):
and he's going to give us some more information on
that terrorism attack in Boulder, Colorado by the illegal alien who.
There was a group of older Jewish people and they
were trying to remind the world that there are still
a number of Israeli hostages held in Gaza by Hamas
(11:57):
and that nobody should forget. And this guy showed up
and he had some kind of flame thrower and he
was hurling a type of Molotov cocktail into the crowd,
trying to burn people alive. And eight people got injured,
a couple of them really badly. Just see you setting
people on fire.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Now it's up to twelve people.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Twelve people. I didn't know that, well, twelve people. We're
gonna talk to Don Mahallack, see what he knows. All right.
So I mentioned before that you know that Jake tapperbook
Original Sin about Joe Biden wasting away his brain, wasting
away while he was president. And there was an excerpt
(12:38):
excerpt I read just last night about how they all
thought Kamala Harris was a big dud. Don't vote for
her for governor please, She's really a dud. Whole Biden
crowd and even Harris's God, I wonder what she's like
behind closed doors. Because Harris's own staff did not trust
(12:59):
her to go to a dinner party, they had to
rehearse the party with her.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
They are you neighbors, John, why don't you invite her
over to your house and then you'll you'll be able
to figure it out firsthand.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I don't know. She might steal all the wine. They
including doing a run through on having her have a
glass or two of wine during the party. Then they
decided against the wine run through, and that that's a
curious thing there where they was she not able to
hold a glass of wine and she had to practice
(13:30):
because that's what they said she was gonna be practicing
with wine or is she a compulsive wine drinker? And
she can't stop? And then she next thing, you know,
she's taking off her clothes and she's dancing on the
dinner table. I don't know. That's how she got her
start with Willie Brown, So anything is possible. All right,
here's this little piece is not from the book, but
(13:52):
it's along those lines. According to Josh Hawley, and he's
a senator from Missouri. He went on Fox News this weekend.
He's a republic and he says a Secret Service agent
told him that Biden used to get lost in his
own closet. Hally said on TV that the Secret Service
(14:19):
member told me that Biden used to get lost in
his closet in the mornings at the White House.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
That's a big closet. I want one of those.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Never get lost in your closet, No, he says, I
mean the guy was literally stumbling around the White House residents,
couldn't find his way out of the closet. The president
of the United States. This is outrageous. We were lied to.
But there's no there's no further detail, but it said
the source was a Secret Service agent assigned to Biden
(14:52):
while he was president. I guess he was assigned to the.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Closet picking out the ties and the suits.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, sure, I guess. You know they would find him
maybe standing and staring at the wall in the back
of the closet, fighting behind the suits. He would go
in and wouldn't come out for hours.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
And what about his wife? Has anybody talked to her?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Nobody in his inner circle is talking. The last couple
of weeks, you know, they dropped the story about prostate cancer,
which every doctor agrees had to have been around for
years and they'd have to know about it. Like, nobody
is buying this idea that it just popped up because
it was so I mean, his stage four in his bones,
(15:43):
that's the end of the trail. That's not the beginning
of the trail.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
But he's fighting it.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I don't know what that means when they say he's
fighting it. I mean it's in the bones. Yeah, you
can drink, you can take all the chemotherapy or radiation
or whatever, but I you know, that's that's pretty far gone.
You know, even if it if it doesn't kill him immediately,
he's got to be really an a wasted state because
(16:14):
cancer treatments for stage four are really harsh. You're filling
your body with poison trying to get kill the can.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But let me ask you this, if he has had
prostate cancer for such a long time. It doesn't seem
right that his wife would have wanted him to run again,
do you do you see what I'm saying. She was
such a supporter and said, yay, yay, didn't he do
such a great job after that horrible debate that everybody
(16:42):
knew was terrible, and she was saying that it wasn't.
And so if he if he's fighting for his life,
you would think that she would have convinced him not
to run.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I don't know how you go for anything dropout. Yeah,
you go for any teen blood test, You get your
you get your PSA done, right, You go once a
year to see your doctor on the long list, right,
they they they have a gluey, you have your glucose reading,
and but is that stand cholesterol reading?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
That's I mean, I'm sure for the president of the
United States, but I know that a lot of people
that I talk to think it's just that, uh you
know that exam where they stick their hand up.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
There, Well, there is that, but that's to feel the
prostate gland itself.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
No, I get how the ps I totally.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
But the PSA is definitive, Yes, but I don't I
think a lot of people don't know that.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I'm sure again.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Of course, the president of the United States is doctor
is doing that exam, right.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So he's getting the blood test, He's getting at least
an annual physical, right, Yes, okay, So included in the
blood test almost automatically is a PSA test because it
doesn't cost anything. You have the blood, you just do
whatever the little protocol is to test for. And I
would think there'd be automatic to do it for a
president in his seventies. I just flat out don't believe it.
(18:05):
I think that's just another big line. I think they
threw it in right in the middle of the book
tour to try to get people to feel bad about
criticizing Biden or making fun of him. Right, oh, come
on now it looks like he's dying, you know, and
they try to mute the criticism and the headlines. I
just simply don't believe anybody in that camp, anybody in
(18:27):
the Biden circle, what they believe. What they say just
flat out zero credibility, the whole lot of them.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Do you go to a doctor every year, John? And
do you get a physical in all these podcasts? Because
I know you haven't done a kolonoscopy.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I have gone every year. I don't think I've gone
in two years. And the PSA is you want to
I have him on my iPad. If you want to
see my guest, I don't see my number. I'll show
you my I will.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I was just curious because you're so against a kolonoscopy,
so I was just hoping that at least you did
this one.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I'm not against the colonoscopy. I'm just I'm scared. Yeah,
I don't like being invaded.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It's propofal. You got a good you get some good
sleep for a little bad.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You gotta do the news.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
You heard over the weekend. Now it's twelve people that
have been injured injured. This crazy guy with a flame
thrower and hurled something like a Molotov cocktail into a crowd.
And he was from He's an Egyptian national, an illegal alien.
(19:42):
Hover state is VISA and he was shouting free Palestine.
And as he was taken away by authorities, he was
telling him he would do it again. Let's get to
more details. And from Don Mahallak, he's the ABC News
Law Enforcement contributor. Also retired Secret Service agent. Uh don,
how are you, John?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
How are you? How's l A U? L A is? Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Let's see it's uh, it's it's sunny right now.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Well that's good.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
But you know, if you look up, it looks beautiful.
If you look down, it's not so nice.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
So well, hopeful, hopefully that changes in time.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, so what what what is this guy about here?
What do we know about this Boulder, Colorado crazy man
who's got a flamethrower and trying to kill Jewish people?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, well, we don't know that much right now, at
least authorities haven't released that much information. But you know,
part of what you said is he he came here
on a visitors visa which changed into a work visa
which has expired, so he's technically here illegally. He clearly
(20:56):
had a a grievance and a predisposition against it Israel
and the Jewish people. I think they conducted a warrant
on his house and recovered some items of which they
haven't talked about yet. But the one thing they have
said is they know that this was a targeted attack,
which says to me that when they went to his
house and they searched. They found some evidentiary items to
indicate that he had been plotting and planning this type
(21:19):
of an attack for a while and he was able
to pull it off using rudimentary tools which he probably
learned about on the Internet and from some dark corner
of the of the Internet, from some dark web location,
and he probably got some radicalization from the same location,
which is part of the problem we have these days
(21:41):
is with the interconnectivity of everybody with the Internet, Terrorists
these days can pull off attacks in a way that
they couldn't have imagined even as recent as September twelfth,
two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Run for Their Lives is the group that was rallying.
It wasn't exactly a prote They show up every week
and they have running and walk events and they're asking
for the release of the Israeli hostages from the Hamas
attack on October seventh to twenty twenty three. And they're
a peaceful group. And the guy's name is Mohammed Saburi Solomon,
(22:17):
forty five years old. You might have seen him, gray haired,
not not a young crazy nineteen year old as we
often run into. But this guy was into his more
mature years, and that seems to be kind of rare.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It is rare. You know, your typical your typical attackers
as you were, as you were alluding to, is you know,
eighteen to mid to late twenties, maybe early thirties, somebody
in their forties. Not necessarily, but you know, the Hamas
Israeli war has brought out I think the worst in
many people in many corners. It's I think it's helped
(22:59):
sess their radicalization and many people that maybe we're on
the edge and were pushed because they had a grievance,
and you know, there's a lot of misinformation out there,
and you know these these groups like Run for Your Lives,
which is sounds like a rather benign group. They apparently
went to the authorities ahead of time and talked to
(23:21):
them and said, look, we're worried about the threats we've
been getting threats I guess or whatever, and which leaves
open a question about soft targets and events like this.
I think we're my opinion, we're well beyond the days
where you can hold a simple run like this or
a picnic or an event and not work with your
local authorities to make sure there was some element of
(23:43):
security incorporated into your event because of the threats that
we're seeing these days, especially against Jewish and Israeli groups.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, if you if you publicize a Jewish oriented event
and you're outdoors and the event is explicitly connected to
the I Must error attacks, you know, the risk is
something bad happening is actually quite high in these people.
The victims ranged in age from fifty two to eighty eight,
so it was an older crowd, and that he was
(24:11):
trying to set fire on an eighty eight year old
it's astonishing.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
John. A couple of months after the Hamas attack, there
was a play in my local high school, the Diary
of Van Frank. There was police there, there were security
there because of the focus, because of the topical, the
topical nature of the play. You have people who clearly
have an increased grievance now against anything Israel or anything Jewish,
(24:42):
and they're gonna, you know, thanks to the Internet, they're
going to focus on it, get it. It's going to
fester in them and they're going to act on these grievances.
And I think the Jewish people are much more accepting
and tolerant of security than we are here in America.
I think even though we are you know, we had
September eleventh and were far removed from the September eleventh attacks,
(25:05):
I think there's an inherent resistance in America to security,
law enforcement being involved in these kinds of events, where
if you're in Israel, it's part parcel of living in Israel,
it just happens here. I think there's still this resistance,
there's still this bit of denial, which is, you know,
it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen here,
(25:26):
But in reality, it's happening everywhere. So better ticking some
time to do some planning and some preparation than seeing
what happened in Boulder happen.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Thank you very much, Don for coming on again. We'll
talk soon.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Thanks. I appreciate that, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Don Mahllick, and he's with ABC News law enforcement contributor,
also retired Secret Service agent on the on the attack,
Karen Bass called for an emergency meeting to evaluate security. Now,
I saw that there was a got killed in downtown
LA with a machete. Am I right on that that
(26:03):
was another new Was there an emergency meeting over that?
I don't think so I mean there should be an
emergency meeting over this, and they ought to provide L
A p D security at synagogue's another you know Jewish
cultural centers, certainly, but you know, I read other I
mean there were there were, there have been people set
fire on LA's metro system, and I don't remember an
emergency meeting from bass on that.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
She's just trying to be proactive in certain situations.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
This is a Jewish holiday. This is one I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Eric.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Did you know this one? Schavat s h A v
u O T You know this one? No, it's a
two day holiday from sundown Sunday through sundown Tuesday, to
celebrate when Moses and the Israelites were given the tour
at Mount SINAI. Yeah, you know this one. Yeah, I've
(26:57):
heard of it. Oh, ever has it? No, you celebrate
this obviously not here. No, there's a lot of obscure
Christian Catholic holidays day. I'm not that observant because when
I was in school, I went to a Catholic elementary
school and they dragged us into church in the middle
(27:18):
of the week.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Did you get hit with rulers?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
No? I was just past that ruler era. But we
would have. I was in the angry nun era definitely,
because we had one fist pounding nun And I mean
she not on me, but she was pounded on the blackboard.
And she'd like to humiliate kids at the blackboard if
(27:43):
they couldn't do simple math problems. She was, you know,
she was a big woman, big woman. She had a beard.
I'm not kidding. She had a beard. You went up
close to her, you could see the whiskers. She had
a deep, booming voice and a real bad temper. And
(28:04):
I only had her one class a day, and it
was a math class. And I remember a moment she
was banging her fist on the blackboard, humiliating a girl,
Joanne was her name, And Joanne was standing there and
totally befuddled and clueless like this, yeah right, And she's
pounding and pounding and pounding gets he the chalk dust
shaking off the board and the poor girl standing there
(28:27):
looking like she was gonna cry. And this woman is
bellowing away in her nun habit. One of the reasons
I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Really just you know what seems so strange to me
about people that are religious leaders. That just seems so wrong.
I know, right, it's so hypocritical.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Then, so I never really bought into the religion. I
was forced into it. You know. My family sent me
to this Catholic elementary school. But I always thought it
was a lot of hooey because I watched the way
the nuns acted. Yeah, the nuns with the worst of
all what they call the lay teachers, which I thought
was a strange word. They they were fairly civilized, but
(29:08):
the nuns, Holy Moly, was that a bag of insanity.
All right, we got to do news live in the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Coming up after three o'clock, we're gonna play you another
TV report from who else, Ashley Savalla KCRA Channel three,
and that's the NBC affiliate up in Sacramento. And she's
the only reporter in the state of California that actually
covers the legislature. And the legislature is where all the
bad things happen. You know, Newsom gets a lot of
(29:45):
blame because he is the governor, but in the end,
he can only sign or veto the what the Assembly
and the State Senate serve him, and they serve him
a lot of garbage. Now he embraces it, but it
does come from them. And a lot of the reason life,
a lot of the reasons that life is so miserable
(30:05):
and so expensive here comes out of the Assembly and
State Senate, which are races people don't pay any attention
to and they just reflexively vote based on whatever political
party that they have some misplaced affection for. And the
legislature over the last twenty five years or so has
(30:28):
absolutely destroyed the state. I mean, all the bad crime
laws came out of the legislature. They put bad propositions
on the ballot like Prop. Forty seven and Prop fifty seven.
They're the ones who've made it difficult to put people
away for any length of time and to keep them
(30:49):
into prison. That's why you have murderers being paroled down. Oh,
that reminds me. That happened over the weekend. Another mensin
girl got parole. That's the second one this year. What
was her name? Which one was her?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Krim krim Winkle seventy seven. They were running before and
after pictures what she looked like in nineteen seventy and
what she looked like today. I guess that's fifty five
years later, fifty five years in prison.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Mean, looks she's not getting the botox.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
It's like whyard. I right, Sometimes people are recognizable, people
age in different ways, but this is like whow. I
can't believe she's getting released. It's like, I mean, obviously
there's a lot of people who were never born. They
just know of the mants and killings, but they don't
know the details of it. And you see photos of
(31:52):
that cult. There were all these young, crazy girls. They
were like nineteen twenty years old, and they had something
carved in their foreheads, but was a swastika in their forehead. Yes,
one of those girls is getting out now, she's seventy
seven years old. It's up to newsome.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
By.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I never ever thought Manson people would be would be released.
That never occurred to me all my life. I read
Vincent Biliossi was the prosecutor. We had him as a
guest many times on the show. I read his books.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
You know, there's a new documentary out, it might be
on Netflix on Manson, a.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
New one that they didn't They didn't cover everything.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Huh No, there was some things in there. I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I mean, for instance, I did not know that Manson
was into music, that he was a singer.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Yes, he actually wrote a song that the Beach Boys recorded.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, he got close to one of the Beach Boys,
I forget which guy, and he had written several songs
for them and got one song at least one maybe
more on an album and it was released as a
single or the flip side of a single. Because I've
seen I've seen the record label. And because he was
(33:12):
the night the night he was the night he had
his group kill you, Sharon Tate, yeah, and the others.
That was the house that used to be the house
of a record producer named Terry Melcher, and apparently they
had a falling out and Manson was pissed at him. Yes,
(33:33):
so he went to kill Terry Melcher. Terry Melcher was
the son of Doris Day, the famous acts.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Okay, so then you don't need to see this because
that I didn't know any of that, and that was
all part of this.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
I've read all the Manson books. Yeah, I watch it anyway.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
You're gonna have to stall for time because my computer
literally just shut down.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
So I'm restarting it. I see, so I don't. I
don't have my newscast up.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I go on about manson whatever you want to.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Me at your show. But I'm just telling you that
RCS is freaking out here.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
That's oh how long does it take to restart?
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Well, let's see.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
A lot of things short out when you're no, no.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
No, no, no, it's not it's not just me.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
This happens.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
It happens to ever.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Maybe it's your electrical aura it causes.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
These could maybe I need to smudge in here.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well, coming up in the three o'clock hour, we well
Ashley's I started. I don't think I ever got through
that report they're having in the Assembly and State Senate. No,
I never did get through the promo in the Assembly
and State Senate. They have no there. They were going
to have a special session to devote to affordability. Affordability.
(34:44):
You know, John, you know what.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I know you want to keep talking and going on
and on. But I'm good now.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
So if you want to break, you're turning on me
every day, just a little more, you're turning.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
On I'm trying to be a friend.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
I know.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
You know, you talk for so many hours you're not
as me, but I'm trying to give you a break
and let you know I'm back on draft.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
All right, Why don't you do about ten minutes here
see what you're made of.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
I can people would be bored out of their skull.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Debor Mark live in the CAFI twenty four hour 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 Cobelt
podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Can you close my door?
I don't know who was in here. Close the door.
We're out every day from one until four o'clock. After
four o'clock John Cobel' show on demand on the iHeart app.
So in case you miss stuff, that's where you can
(00:21):
do your remedial. Your remedial listening and coming up in
two thirty, well after Debora's two thirty news, you may
have heard about the about the lunatic Egyptian national who
had Molotov cocktails and was setting older Jewish people on fire.
(00:48):
They were publicly they had this public event. I don't
know if it's exactly a protest, but they were trying
to remind the world that Hamas still holds Israeli hostages.
And so once a week they go out in public
and remind everybody. And so this illegal alien from Egypt
(01:09):
showed up and started yelling about free Palestine and Molotov cocktails.
He had a torch basically, and he burned eight people's
It was like a makeshift flamethrower. I mean again, an
illegal alien. He overstayed his visa. Biden crowd not interested
(01:32):
in tracking him down. Clearly a terrorist. They don't know
if he has part of an organized terror group or
this was his own insanity. Anyway, we're going to talk
with Don Mahollick about that coming up. The LA Times
had a curious story over the weekend. We often talked
about the Palastades fire because Deborah, we don't know what
(01:55):
started it yet, right, No, we don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
We don't mean, we still think there's a possibility it
was fireworks from New Year's Days.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Right, But after five full months they hadn't followed up
on that.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, I kind of just went away.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, I mean almost as if it wasn't a big story.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Right Los Angeles, there are We were in the Palisades
over the weekend, and there there are signs of life.
It doesn't look quite as bad because they did. Army
Corps of Engineers, by the way, deserves a lot of
credit the federal government. You see Bass running around saying
a record amount of time that that's the federal government,
(02:35):
that's the Army, it's not her. They've cleared a lot
of the debris and rubble, so rather than looking like
a bombed out city in World War Two. It looks
more like land that had been cleared for new development,
and there's a lot of empty lots. But everything is
(02:57):
all the All the debris has been hauled away some
areas not some owners. Homeowners decided not to get the
debris cleared by the Army Corps engineers. I don't know
what their story is because their ruins are still there,
and there's a lot of businesses that haven't cleaned up
their ruins yet, and probably there's insurance problems, financial problems involved.
(03:21):
But the La Times early on had targeted among the
reasons the fire department didn't respond properly and the city
didn't respond properly, is that the fire officials didn't have
enough fire trucks. And Kristin Crowley, who got fired by Bass,
(03:43):
was blaming broken fire engines and a lack of mechanics
to fix them, and that's why there weren't more firefighters
because she set a thousand firefighters home and they asked
her why, she goes, I didn't have fire trucks to
put them on. Time's new investigation is taking issue with
(04:03):
what she says. First of all, the Times reviewed engine
work orders many of the broken engines had been out
of service for many months or even years. I can't
tell you how little money the City of Los Angeles
Karen Bass, the city Council, Eric Garcetti, maybe back to
(04:24):
Via Ragosa, how little money the council and the mayor
has spent on the fire department. It is shocking, it's overwhelming.
I've told you repeatedly the money they did spend only
covers half a fire department. That's true, and it's actually
sickening to be because I thought, what's the first thing
(04:48):
you fund is the police. What's the second thing? It's
fire and you get that fully funded, and then you
can let everybody else fight over the crumbs. But this
is so. There were forty engines that had to be repaired,
and they were not available when the fire hit, and
(05:09):
Crowley said, that's a a big reason why things got
out of control. They sent firefighters home because they didn't
have fire trucks to sit on. She said the department
should have three times as many mechanics, but says the
times many of the broken engines had been out of
service for many months or years, and not necessarily for
(05:32):
lack of mechanics. Meantime, they had dozens of other engines
available that could have been staffed and deployed in advance
of the fire. Now we'll get to the ditty gritty here,
because I know there's a lot of issues coming together,
but let's focus on the main thing. Where were the
fire engines deployed for the fire? And where were the
fire engines did to be deployed in advance of the fire?
(05:53):
And Kristin Crowley tried to say, well, we didn't have
any they were all broken, and yeah, a lot of
them were broken, but there were others. It looks as
if they have a large reserve of fire engines that
are taken out of daily service, but they hang on
to them and they use them a lot. They're not
I've been up to eighty percent of these reserve fire
(06:16):
trucks get used trucks, engines and ambulances, So even though
they're out of service, technically they're not really out of service.
Because we have so few new engines and so few
of them are repaired promptly. It all points to the
same thing. There's no funding here, but the Times story
(06:41):
is saying, well, there were fire engines available, Crowley just
didn't use them. According to an LA Fire Department report,
sixty percent are operating. Sixty percent of fire engines are
out beyond their recommended life spans one hundred and twenty
(07:04):
seven at A two hundred and ten, these trucks should
have been retired. Twenty nine out of sixty. Ladder trucks
also operating beyond their recommended life spans. So they use
a lot of reserve engines. And as the Assistant Chief
(07:25):
Peter Sou said, as our fleet gets older, the repairs
become more difficult. We're now doing things like rebuilding suspensions,
rebuilding pump transmissions, rebuilding transmissions, engine overhauls. And he says,
the problem is money. They never fund the fire department.
Why did that little weasel Garcetti never fund the fire department?
(07:50):
What was wrong with him? He left so much destruction
behind and then he goes running off to India. Last
scene dancing in a local costume looking like an utter fool.
Well you did that at the Pastathon, I did that
for the children. I did that to help hungry children. Yes,
(08:14):
you did so it's different.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
I know.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I just wanted to point out that something in common
with him, because you both did that silly dance.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
I have nothing in common with them. The bass now
claims last year they they're buying. Last year they bought
ten engines, five trucks, twenty ambulances, and this new budget
includes ten more engines, four trucks and ten ambulances. So
(08:45):
they're trying to rebuild back there. But do you know
what is what is they say, is really causing a
lot of wear and tear. Is there so many nine
to one one calls because the vagrants start fourteen thousand
fires a year. So one of the reason since the
fire engines have so much are falling apart, is they're
used a lot because there's thousands and thousands of bumfires.
(09:10):
Thousands of those mental patients and drug addicts set so
many fires that it's aging the entire fleet much more quickly.
They're always on the road, they're always being used, racking
up miles. All the equipment is constantly being stressed out.
(09:34):
It's amazing, Like it's amazing that the Garcetti era, how
much damage he did, which reverberates to this day, and
how much damage allowing tens of thousands of vagrants to
get on the streets. You know how many people they
kill how many people, well, how many of them die?
How much business has been lost because stores had to
(09:58):
close because normal people wouldn't venture into these neighborhoods anymore,
or wouldn't venture at night anymore. The reverberations, the financial
and physical consequences of allowing thousands of drug addicts and
crazy people to roam the streets is just tremendous. And
it all stemmed from Garcetti and the city council now
(10:19):
over the last ten years. It's just it's just so horrific,
and this is stuff most people don't know, don't even
think about. I mean, I mean, the vagrance has ruined
so much. They've ruined so much. And I could take
(10:40):
you to one hundred cities tomorrow where this isn't going on,
just here, this sick obsession, and I could get all
self righteous about it, and then I always remember, oh, yeah,
there's billions of dollars missing. That's why, that's why they
allow it, because there's billions of dollars that all that
the mobster's made in government on the homeless industry.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Follow us at John Cobelt Radio at John Cobelt Radio
on social media and we're closing in on thirty thousand
followers on Instagram. We're going to have Don Mahallak on
in a few minutes. He's the ABC News correspondent and
he's also the law enforcement contributor, retired Secret Service agent,
(11:31):
and he's going to give us some more information on
that terrorism attack in Boulder, Colorado by the illegal alien who.
There was a group of older Jewish people and they
were trying to remind the world that there are still
a number of Israeli hostages held in Gaza by Hamas
(11:57):
and that nobody should forget. And this guy showed up
and he had some kind of flame thrower and he
was hurling a type of Molotov cocktail into the crowd,
trying to burn people alive. And eight people got injured,
a couple of them really badly. Just see you setting
people on fire.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
Now it's up to twelve people.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Twelve people. I didn't know that, well, twelve people. We're
gonna talk to Don Mahallack, see what he knows. All right.
So I mentioned before that you know that Jake tapperbook
Original Sin about Joe Biden wasting away his brain, wasting
away while he was president. And there was an excerpt
(12:38):
excerpt I read just last night about how they all
thought Kamala Harris was a big dud. Don't vote for
her for governor please, She's really a dud. Whole Biden
crowd and even Harris's God, I wonder what she's like
behind closed doors. Because Harris's own staff did not trust
(12:59):
her to go to a dinner party, they had to
rehearse the party with her.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
They are you neighbors, John, why don't you invite her
over to your house and then you'll you'll be able
to figure it out firsthand.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
I don't know. She might steal all the wine. They
including doing a run through on having her have a
glass or two of wine during the party. Then they
decided against the wine run through, and that that's a
curious thing there where they was she not able to
hold a glass of wine and she had to practice
(13:30):
because that's what they said she was gonna be practicing
with wine or is she a compulsive wine drinker? And
she can't stop? And then she next thing, you know,
she's taking off her clothes and she's dancing on the
dinner table. I don't know. That's how she got her
start with Willie Brown, So anything is possible. All right,
here's this little piece is not from the book, but
(13:52):
it's along those lines. According to Josh Hawley, and he's
a senator from Missouri. He went on Fox News this weekend.
He's a republic and he says a Secret Service agent
told him that Biden used to get lost in his
own closet. Hally said on TV that the Secret Service
(14:19):
member told me that Biden used to get lost in
his closet in the mornings at the White House.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
That's a big closet. I want one of those.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Never get lost in your closet, No, he says, I
mean the guy was literally stumbling around the White House residents,
couldn't find his way out of the closet. The president
of the United States. This is outrageous. We were lied to.
But there's no there's no further detail, but it said
the source was a Secret Service agent assigned to Biden
(14:52):
while he was president. I guess he was assigned to the.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Closet picking out the ties and the suits.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Yeah, sure, I guess. You know they would find him
maybe standing and staring at the wall in the back
of the closet, fighting behind the suits. He would go
in and wouldn't come out for hours.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
And what about his wife? Has anybody talked to her?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Nobody in his inner circle is talking. The last couple
of weeks, you know, they dropped the story about prostate cancer,
which every doctor agrees had to have been around for
years and they'd have to know about it. Like, nobody
is buying this idea that it just popped up because
it was so I mean, his stage four in his bones,
(15:43):
that's the end of the trail. That's not the beginning
of the trail.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
But he's fighting it.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I don't know what that means when they say he's
fighting it. I mean it's in the bones. Yeah, you
can drink, you can take all the chemotherapy or radiation
or whatever, but I you know, that's that's pretty far gone.
You know, even if it if it doesn't kill him immediately,
he's got to be really an a wasted state because
(16:14):
cancer treatments for stage four are really harsh. You're filling
your body with poison trying to get kill the can.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
But let me ask you this, if he has had
prostate cancer for such a long time. It doesn't seem
right that his wife would have wanted him to run again,
do you do you see what I'm saying. She was
such a supporter and said, yay, yay, didn't he do
such a great job after that horrible debate that everybody
(16:42):
knew was terrible, and she was saying that it wasn't.
And so if he if he's fighting for his life,
you would think that she would have convinced him not
to run.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
I don't know how you go for anything dropout. Yeah,
you go for any teen blood test, You get your
you get your PSA done, right, You go once a
year to see your doctor on the long list, right,
they they they have a gluey, you have your glucose reading,
and but is that stand cholesterol reading?
Speaker 3 (17:15):
That's I mean, I'm sure for the president of the
United States, but I know that a lot of people
that I talk to think it's just that, uh you
know that exam where they stick their hand up.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
There, Well, there is that, but that's to feel the
prostate gland itself.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
No, I get how the ps I totally.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
But the PSA is definitive, Yes, but I don't I
think a lot of people don't know that.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
I'm sure again.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Of course, the president of the United States is doctor
is doing that exam, right.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
So he's getting the blood test, He's getting at least
an annual physical, right, Yes, okay, So included in the
blood test almost automatically is a PSA test because it
doesn't cost anything. You have the blood, you just do
whatever the little protocol is to test for. And I
would think there'd be automatic to do it for a
president in his seventies. I just flat out don't believe it.
(18:05):
I think that's just another big line. I think they
threw it in right in the middle of the book
tour to try to get people to feel bad about
criticizing Biden or making fun of him. Right, oh, come
on now it looks like he's dying, you know, and
they try to mute the criticism and the headlines. I
just simply don't believe anybody in that camp, anybody in
(18:27):
the Biden circle, what they believe. What they say just
flat out zero credibility, the whole lot of them.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Do you go to a doctor every year, John? And
do you get a physical in all these podcasts? Because
I know you haven't done a kolonoscopy.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I have gone every year. I don't think I've gone
in two years. And the PSA is you want to
I have him on my iPad. If you want to
see my guest, I don't see my number. I'll show
you my I will.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I was just curious because you're so against a kolonoscopy,
so I was just hoping that at least you did
this one.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I'm not against the colonoscopy. I'm just I'm scared. Yeah,
I don't like being invaded.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It's propofal. You got a good you get some good
sleep for a little bad.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You gotta do the news.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
You heard over the weekend. Now it's twelve people that
have been injured injured. This crazy guy with a flame
thrower and hurled something like a Molotov cocktail into a crowd.
And he was from He's an Egyptian national, an illegal alien.
(19:42):
Hover state is VISA and he was shouting free Palestine.
And as he was taken away by authorities, he was
telling him he would do it again. Let's get to
more details. And from Don Mahallak, he's the ABC News
Law Enforcement contributor. Also retired Secret Service agent. Uh don,
how are you, John?
Speaker 1 (20:03):
How are you? How's l A U? L A is? Uh?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Let's see it's uh, it's it's sunny right now.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Well that's good.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
But you know, if you look up, it looks beautiful.
If you look down, it's not so nice.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
So well, hopeful, hopefully that changes in time.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, so what what what is this guy about here?
What do we know about this Boulder, Colorado crazy man
who's got a flamethrower and trying to kill Jewish people?
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, well, we don't know that much right now, at
least authorities haven't released that much information. But you know,
part of what you said is he he came here
on a visitors visa which changed into a work visa
which has expired, so he's technically here illegally. He clearly
(20:56):
had a a grievance and a predisposition against it Israel
and the Jewish people. I think they conducted a warrant
on his house and recovered some items of which they
haven't talked about yet. But the one thing they have
said is they know that this was a targeted attack,
which says to me that when they went to his
house and they searched. They found some evidentiary items to
indicate that he had been plotting and planning this type
(21:19):
of an attack for a while and he was able
to pull it off using rudimentary tools which he probably
learned about on the Internet and from some dark corner
of the of the Internet, from some dark web location,
and he probably got some radicalization from the same location,
which is part of the problem we have these days
(21:41):
is with the interconnectivity of everybody with the Internet, Terrorists
these days can pull off attacks in a way that
they couldn't have imagined even as recent as September twelfth,
two thousand and one.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Run for Their Lives is the group that was rallying.
It wasn't exactly a prote They show up every week
and they have running and walk events and they're asking
for the release of the Israeli hostages from the Hamas
attack on October seventh to twenty twenty three. And they're
a peaceful group. And the guy's name is Mohammed Saburi Solomon,
(22:17):
forty five years old. You might have seen him, gray haired,
not not a young crazy nineteen year old as we
often run into. But this guy was into his more
mature years, and that seems to be kind of rare.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It is rare. You know, your typical your typical attackers
as you were, as you were alluding to, is you know,
eighteen to mid to late twenties, maybe early thirties, somebody
in their forties. Not necessarily, but you know, the Hamas
Israeli war has brought out I think the worst in
many people in many corners. It's I think it's helped
(22:59):
sess their radicalization and many people that maybe we're on
the edge and were pushed because they had a grievance,
and you know, there's a lot of misinformation out there,
and you know these these groups like Run for Your Lives,
which is sounds like a rather benign group. They apparently
went to the authorities ahead of time and talked to
(23:21):
them and said, look, we're worried about the threats we've
been getting threats I guess or whatever, and which leaves
open a question about soft targets and events like this.
I think we're my opinion, we're well beyond the days
where you can hold a simple run like this or
a picnic or an event and not work with your
local authorities to make sure there was some element of
(23:43):
security incorporated into your event because of the threats that
we're seeing these days, especially against Jewish and Israeli groups.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah, if you if you publicize a Jewish oriented event
and you're outdoors and the event is explicitly connected to
the I Must error attacks, you know, the risk is
something bad happening is actually quite high in these people.
The victims ranged in age from fifty two to eighty eight,
so it was an older crowd, and that he was
(24:11):
trying to set fire on an eighty eight year old
it's astonishing.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
John. A couple of months after the Hamas attack, there
was a play in my local high school, the Diary
of Van Frank. There was police there, there were security
there because of the focus, because of the topical, the
topical nature of the play. You have people who clearly
have an increased grievance now against anything Israel or anything Jewish,
(24:42):
and they're gonna, you know, thanks to the Internet, they're
going to focus on it, get it. It's going to
fester in them and they're going to act on these grievances.
And I think the Jewish people are much more accepting
and tolerant of security than we are here in America.
I think even though we are you know, we had
September eleventh and were far removed from the September eleventh attacks,
(25:05):
I think there's an inherent resistance in America to security,
law enforcement being involved in these kinds of events, where
if you're in Israel, it's part parcel of living in Israel,
it just happens here. I think there's still this resistance,
there's still this bit of denial, which is, you know,
it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen here,
(25:26):
But in reality, it's happening everywhere. So better ticking some
time to do some planning and some preparation than seeing
what happened in Boulder happen.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Thank you very much, Don for coming on again. We'll
talk soon.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Thanks. I appreciate that, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Don Mahllick, and he's with ABC News law enforcement contributor,
also retired Secret Service agent on the on the attack,
Karen Bass called for an emergency meeting to evaluate security. Now,
I saw that there was a got killed in downtown
LA with a machete. Am I right on that that
(26:03):
was another new Was there an emergency meeting over that?
I don't think so I mean there should be an
emergency meeting over this, and they ought to provide L
A p D security at synagogue's another you know Jewish
cultural centers, certainly, but you know, I read other I
mean there were there were, there have been people set
fire on LA's metro system, and I don't remember an
emergency meeting from bass on that.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
She's just trying to be proactive in certain situations.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
This is a Jewish holiday. This is one I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Eric.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Did you know this one? Schavat s h A v
u O T You know this one? No, it's a
two day holiday from sundown Sunday through sundown Tuesday, to
celebrate when Moses and the Israelites were given the tour
at Mount SINAI. Yeah, you know this one. Yeah, I've
(26:57):
heard of it. Oh, ever has it? No, you celebrate
this obviously not here. No, there's a lot of obscure
Christian Catholic holidays day. I'm not that observant because when
I was in school, I went to a Catholic elementary
school and they dragged us into church in the middle
(27:18):
of the week.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Did you get hit with rulers?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
No? I was just past that ruler era. But we
would have. I was in the angry nun era definitely,
because we had one fist pounding nun And I mean
she not on me, but she was pounded on the blackboard.
And she'd like to humiliate kids at the blackboard if
(27:43):
they couldn't do simple math problems. She was, you know,
she was a big woman, big woman. She had a beard.
I'm not kidding. She had a beard. You went up
close to her, you could see the whiskers. She had
a deep, booming voice and a real bad temper. And
(28:04):
I only had her one class a day, and it
was a math class. And I remember a moment she
was banging her fist on the blackboard, humiliating a girl,
Joanne was her name, And Joanne was standing there and
totally befuddled and clueless like this, yeah right, And she's
pounding and pounding and pounding gets he the chalk dust
shaking off the board and the poor girl standing there
(28:27):
looking like she was gonna cry. And this woman is
bellowing away in her nun habit. One of the reasons
I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Really just you know what seems so strange to me
about people that are religious leaders. That just seems so wrong.
I know, right, it's so hypocritical.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Then, so I never really bought into the religion. I
was forced into it. You know. My family sent me
to this Catholic elementary school. But I always thought it
was a lot of hooey because I watched the way
the nuns acted. Yeah, the nuns with the worst of
all what they call the lay teachers, which I thought
was a strange word. They they were fairly civilized, but
(29:08):
the nuns, Holy Moly, was that a bag of insanity.
All right, we got to do news live in the
KFI twenty four hour newsroom.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A
six forty.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Coming up after three o'clock, we're gonna play you another
TV report from who else, Ashley Savalla KCRA Channel three,
and that's the NBC affiliate up in Sacramento. And she's
the only reporter in the state of California that actually
covers the legislature. And the legislature is where all the
bad things happen. You know, Newsom gets a lot of
(29:45):
blame because he is the governor, but in the end,
he can only sign or veto the what the Assembly
and the State Senate serve him, and they serve him
a lot of garbage. Now he embraces it, but it
does come from them. And a lot of the reason life,
a lot of the reasons that life is so miserable
(30:05):
and so expensive here comes out of the Assembly and
State Senate, which are races people don't pay any attention
to and they just reflexively vote based on whatever political
party that they have some misplaced affection for. And the
legislature over the last twenty five years or so has
(30:28):
absolutely destroyed the state. I mean, all the bad crime
laws came out of the legislature. They put bad propositions
on the ballot like Prop. Forty seven and Prop fifty seven.
They're the ones who've made it difficult to put people
away for any length of time and to keep them
(30:49):
into prison. That's why you have murderers being paroled down. Oh,
that reminds me. That happened over the weekend. Another mensin
girl got parole. That's the second one this year. What
was her name? Which one was her?
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Krim krim Winkle seventy seven. They were running before and
after pictures what she looked like in nineteen seventy and
what she looked like today. I guess that's fifty five
years later, fifty five years in prison.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Mean, looks she's not getting the botox.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
It's like whyard. I right, Sometimes people are recognizable, people
age in different ways, but this is like whow. I
can't believe she's getting released. It's like, I mean, obviously
there's a lot of people who were never born. They
just know of the mants and killings, but they don't
know the details of it. And you see photos of
(31:52):
that cult. There were all these young, crazy girls. They
were like nineteen twenty years old, and they had something
carved in their foreheads, but was a swastika in their forehead. Yes,
one of those girls is getting out now, she's seventy
seven years old. It's up to newsome.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
By.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I never ever thought Manson people would be would be released.
That never occurred to me all my life. I read
Vincent Biliossi was the prosecutor. We had him as a
guest many times on the show. I read his books.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
You know, there's a new documentary out, it might be
on Netflix on Manson, a.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
New one that they didn't They didn't cover everything.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
Huh No, there was some things in there. I didn't know.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I mean, for instance, I did not know that Manson
was into music, that he was a singer.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Yes, he actually wrote a song that the Beach Boys recorded.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
I had no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Yeah, he got close to one of the Beach Boys,
I forget which guy, and he had written several songs
for them and got one song at least one maybe
more on an album and it was released as a
single or the flip side of a single. Because I've
seen I've seen the record label. And because he was
(33:12):
the night the night he was the night he had
his group kill you, Sharon Tate, yeah, and the others.
That was the house that used to be the house
of a record producer named Terry Melcher, and apparently they
had a falling out and Manson was pissed at him. Yes,
(33:33):
so he went to kill Terry Melcher. Terry Melcher was
the son of Doris Day, the famous acts.
Speaker 3 (33:39):
Okay, so then you don't need to see this because
that I didn't know any of that, and that was
all part of this.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
I've read all the Manson books. Yeah, I watch it anyway.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
You're gonna have to stall for time because my computer
literally just shut down.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
So I'm restarting it. I see, so I don't. I
don't have my newscast up.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
I go on about manson whatever you want to.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Me at your show. But I'm just telling you that
RCS is freaking out here.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
That's oh how long does it take to restart?
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Well, let's see.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
A lot of things short out when you're no, no.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
No, no, no, it's not it's not just me.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
This happens.
Speaker 4 (34:10):
It happens to ever.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
Maybe it's your electrical aura it causes.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
These could maybe I need to smudge in here.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well, coming up in the three o'clock hour, we well
Ashley's I started. I don't think I ever got through
that report they're having in the Assembly and State Senate. No,
I never did get through the promo in the Assembly
and State Senate. They have no there. They were going
to have a special session to devote to affordability. Affordability.
(34:44):
You know, John, you know what.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
I know you want to keep talking and going on
and on. But I'm good now.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
So if you want to break, you're turning on me
every day, just a little more, you're turning.
Speaker 4 (34:59):
On I'm trying to be a friend.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
I know.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
You know, you talk for so many hours you're not
as me, but I'm trying to give you a break
and let you know I'm back on draft.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
All right, Why don't you do about ten minutes here
see what you're made of.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
