The John Kobylt Show Hour 3 (05/08) - John starts the hour outraged over the California Assembly's refusal to pass a bill that would make it a felony to buy 16- and 17-year-olds for sex. He slams the lobbyists and sex workers who rallied against the bill and calls out the Assembly for catering to perverts and pedophiles. Then, John takes aim at the crumbling state of America’s air travel infrastructure, ripping into the FAA for still relying on 35-year-old tech like copper wires and floppy disks. He praises Sec. Sean Duffy’s efforts to modernize but questions why Biden let this slide. Later, John circles back to “Lyin’ Karen Bass,” revisiting more of her jaw-dropping falsehoods from the Milken Institute panel and ends the hour torching the mayor’s shameless spin.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We do this every day from one to four, and
after four o'clock. Whatever you missed you can hear on
the John Cobelt Show podcast on demand and that gets posted.
I don't know a little bit after for just keep
trying and moist Lane's eight seven seven moist eighty six,
(00:25):
eight seven seven moist eighty six. Some people are very
excited today that we have a new pope, the first
American pope. But then I'm listening to Deborah's news and
he's speaking in Italian. What's the point of an American
pope If he's speaking in Italian? Sounds just like the
last one. I want to hear. I want to hear English?
(00:49):
Or was he speaking in Latin? Thought I heard Latin
today too.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
He speaks numerous languages.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well how about English? How about the home language.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Cubs fans jumped the gun too and said he was
a Cubs fan, but he's actually a white Sox fan.
Oh no, then he's a loser. Nobody admits of being
a white Sox fan.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Buzz brother out of him. Wait a second, did he
say he was a Cubs fan.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Cubs fans jumped on at the Cubs social media tweeted
something about it.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We don't have a pope who's lying on his first day,
do we. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
They're like politicians. They're trying to please everybody, all right now,
from the holy to the unholy. The California Assembly, which
is spent an enormous amount of time over a week
fighting over whether it should be a felony to buy
a teenager for sex. You wouldn't believe how many Democratic
(01:49):
Assembly members object to that concept. In fact, I can
tell you exactly how many fifty five of them voted
to voted against it a felony. We're talking about soliciting, purchasing,
buying sixteen and seventeen year olds girls and boys for sex.
(02:11):
They're being pimped out, prostituted, all right. They're being made
to do unspeakable things against their will with their bodies.
And you got fifty five Democrats in the Assembly going, oh,
what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But you know, every Assembly.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Member, every every group, you know, every committee gets besieged
by lobbyists. So here come the professional adult sex workers
and sex worker advocates that would be their pips. I
guess what I did this phrase sex workers. No, it's prostitutes.
(02:50):
It's hookers, that's what it is. Don't give us this
this sex worker thing. That's not a job. They showed
up to Wednesday's hearing to oppose the idea of making
it a felony to buy a sixteen year old for
sex because I guess they make a lot of money.
(03:16):
I would think the Yeah, the pips make a lot
of money selling sixteen year olds. There's a big market
for that, girls and boys. So their livelihoods are threatened here.
All the pips are upset. Excuse me the advocates. Why
are the wieners in news so quick to use every
(03:36):
stupid euphemism there is no and who decides that these
euphemisms have to be used.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I just.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
You know, all my life I knew that somebody telling
sex on the street was a harker, a prostitute. I
think is the more a technical turn? And then somewhere
along the line I woke up, Now they're sex workers.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh they have a union.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Oh when they have a lobbying force in Sacramento, which
I guess delighted all the perverts that pedophiles and predators
on the Assembly Public Safety Committee. Let me give you
an example of one of these advocates, the founder of
the Sidewalk Project. Well, I guess we understand what that is.
Huh her name? I think it's her soa snake oil?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Ooh, snake oil?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Is that a thing?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I wouldn't know?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, you jumped on that all.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Well, because it's just it sounds like warming.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Maybe some sort of a new lubricant. Soma.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Snake oil is upset because she says, this is a
law enforcement approach to sex trafficking and sex work. We
need a public health approach, and we urge you to
ap oh the bill.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What do we public health approach?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You have sixteen seventeen year olds being violated by by
by disgusting middle aged men for the most part. I mean, yeah,
they ought to get their shots to protect them. There's
there's a there's a da Jonathan Raven he's a spokesman
(05:25):
for the California District Attorney's Association, and he's trying to
inject some common sense, some obvious common sense, and he says,
the buyers are the source. If we eliminate the buyers,
we're not going to have the crime. A misdemeanor these
days is like a citation. It's like a traffic ticket.
There's no accountability, there's no deterrence. It used to be
(05:50):
when they enforced misdemeanors, you would get six months in
a county jail. And then if that was the law,
maybe some people go, well, okay, you know, but they
got They don't enforce misdemeanor punishments anymore, I mean, none
of them at all. You really just get a ticket,
(06:10):
what do they call it? A desk appearance citation? I
guess you'd show up to the judge and go, oh yeah, yeah,
a bout a sixteen year old girl?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is that wrong?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But I can't believe the emotion on the other side,
And there's only one emotion on an issue comes when
you are personally invested, personally involved in the issue. It
happened to you in your life, it's important to you.
Now you may engage in this kind of behavior. And
I cannot imagine anybody being this emotionally invested in protecting
(06:48):
the perverts from being charged with a felony unless they
themselves are said pervert.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's the only reason.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
So all fifty five Assembly members are suspect, including the women.
And we went through yesterday the history of women who
enable deviant sex acts. You could start with the Glene
Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein. You could go with most of
the women who worked for Harvey Weinstein. You know Dottie Sandusky,
(07:21):
Jerry's Jerry's wife. You know she found a book to
read every time a young boy was taken down into
the basement, into the house of ours. So they showed
up wednesday. They don't want police to get more power
to intervene in prostitution.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And by the way, it is, really it makes.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
A neighborhood great when you have teenagers being exploited for
sex in the backseat of cars, and the cars are
all parked along one side of the road and the
prostitutes are lined up on the other side. Who wouldn't
want to raise a family in the neighborhood like that,
Who wouldn't have a business? Tell these people are truly insane.
(08:03):
Assembly Member Buffy Wicks, she's one of these dotty Sandusky types.
She's a woman from Oakland. Buffy Wicks. There's been a
lot of feelings and opinions about this in the past
week or so, but personally, I don't questions anyone commitment
or intent to keep our children safe. Well, I do.
You all voted against it being a felony. I don't
(08:26):
question anyone's commitment to keep them safe. Well, if you're
gonna make it a misdemeanor, which isn't enforest, then they're
not safe. Buffy grown woman named Buffy, And of course
she's the first one interviewed. We come back, Okay, I
stirred up your alligator fear right. Yeah, Oh, I've got
(08:46):
more on the air traffic control.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's even worse.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's even worse than I thought because I heard the
quote you played by Sean Duffy the Transportation Yeah, Secretary,
and they're gonna invest in fiber optics and wireless and satellite.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Technologies that have been around for many decades. Now.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I don't get it, I really don't.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Is this should have been a priority number one?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
All that stuff was a big deal in the nineties.
Fiber Optics is not advanced technology anymore. Neither is wireless
or satellite. Anyway, when you hear how bad it.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Is, do we really need to talk about that?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You're going to be taking buses for the rest of
your life, you're being a bus strip Italy.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Next year you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay, yesterday we told you a lot about the failures
in air traffic control, specifically in Newark, where they lost
their radar and they lost their radio system and the
pilots and air t traffic control operators could not communicate
with each other. And this was so scary that a
(10:05):
twenty percent of the staff at that air traffic control
center is taking trauma leave, which I think is a
load of horse crap. You're traumatized because your radio goes
out for thirty cent Get back in the game because
now they're severely short staffed. Now there's a greater likelihood
(10:25):
of an accident, and it's going to be your fault
because you're at home sucking your thumb and whimpering under
your bed covers. What happened to men in this country?
You imagine if this crowd had to fight in World
War two? Can you imagine here they had their screen
go dark for thirty seconds. That's what happened. I'm not
(10:48):
minimizing it, but in thirty seconds, it was over. In
thirty seconds. The radios were working, and then you go
on trauma leave for weeks twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Of the staff.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't know how these guys are, but this is
a generation of whimps and whoossies.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I mean embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
That is embarrassing the male species that you couldn't handle
thirty second seconds ofttention without taking a month off.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Aren't there some women air traffic controllers as well?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, they should be embarrassed too. They're supposed to be better.
I expect more. You your crowded, smarter than us.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Very true.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Now listen to this.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
A former FAA official and other airline industry insiders told
The New York Post that air traffic controllers are you
going to love this? Are facing about one thousand equipment
failures per week, a thousand. Now, this problem in New
(11:56):
York was caused by a fried piece of copper wire.
The whole system is made of copper wire, and so
they're experiencing one thousand outages a week because the wires
all burned out. It fall fried. This is why Sean
Duffy is saying we're going to use fiber optics. Yeah,
(12:18):
fiber optics was a big breakthrough. I think thirty five
years ago. In fact, that's what one industry leader said.
Most of the current technology is from the late nineteen
eighties early nineties. And you know, we played clips of
Joe Biden trying to yuck it up on the view
(12:40):
and everybody's cackling, and you know, he had a simility attack.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The audience was cheering wildly.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Meantime, planes are about to fall from the sky. The
Biden administration did nothing about this. I don't think the
first Trump administration did anything, either, nor Obama or Bush,
any of them. This is a thirty five your problem.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's amazing that we haven't had more fatal accidents than
we've had.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
It is shocking. But I think we have had a
lot of near misses very in the last couple of years.
And I always wondered, is that is that always gone
on or is this the media just lasted ever since
that door blew off the Yeah, And I'm thinking momental
Maybe it's because everything's aging at the same time. You know,
maybe this is the thirty five year rot that's taking place.
(13:34):
There's tens of thousands of flights every day. They have
never had fewer qualified air traffic controllers on a percentage basis,
they have their computer systems running on floppy discs, which
if if you under the age of if you're over
(13:59):
the age of forty five or under the age of
forty five, you probably don't even know what a floppy
disk is, but it's what computers ran on. You slid
the disc into a slot and that had the information
on it that would appear on your screen. David Grizzle,
served as FAA Chief counsel under Obama, said the air
(14:21):
traffic control problem is entirely due to archaic equipment, shortage
of air traffic controllers, inadequate funding from Congress. When you
have unscheduled outages like what happened, you can't do the
safety for efficiency trade off like we've been doing.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
At Newark.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The average flight is four hours delayed, and Newark is
the hub for United and a lot of people who
fly into New York City go to Newark. I've gone
there dozens of times. Like I said yesterday, that airport
was maybe fifteen miles from my house. The FAA is
holding planes on the ground all over the country. We're
(15:06):
short a thousand air traffic controllers compared to the year
twenty twelve and that's a nine percent decrease. They only
hired thirty four last year. We're short over one thousand.
They hired thirty four. We're having to cancel hundreds of
(15:30):
flights because we simply don't have the technology and staffing
to manage them. Yeah, and the airlines are always obsessed
with making more money and more money, and what they
do is stuff more and more flights into the schedule.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They're too concerned with charging you per bag and all
of that instead of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, yeah, I like Southwest is charging for bags now.
That was the last free bag airline. What official said
in Newark. By the way, the light is blinking.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I see that or is it? Or am I having
a No?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I've noticed that is somebody trying to send you a
message from above.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The lights have been flickering all day.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Did I make one too many jokes about the Pope?
Just you know, it's going to like give me an
epileptic seizure. That blinking anyway, The official said primary communication
line went down in Newark. The backup line didn't fire. Okay,
so the main system and the backup system didn't work.
So for thirty seconds, everybody lost contact.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
We got to take a break. This is enough bad news.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, I can't deal with this.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Don't call anyhoere I stay home and wait for the earthquake. Well,
we come back. If you missed it early, this is
worth sticking around for. We've got lips of Karen Bass
at some panel discussion that Alex Michaelston hosted from Fox
eleven and Karen Bass is sitting on a stage and
(17:10):
lining a rear end off and it's about it's about
the reservoir, and it's about the head of the d WP.
The idiot genis Qez. You are going to be shocked
how Bass is just blatantly lying right to people's faces.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
We'll play some clips when we come back.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Last call for the Moist line at eight seven seven
Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six or
the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Twenty four hours
from now, we'll play it twice and within an hour
you'll be able to have today's podcast posted on the
iHeartRadio app John co Belt Show on demand. In case
you missed what we did earlier in the show, we
(17:58):
have occasionally been talking today about Karen Bass's public appearance.
She doesn't make too many because she should be hiding
in shame for the way she's handled the fire. From
the moment she lifted off for Africa right up to
this moment, it has been one bumblow and stumble after another,
(18:18):
and then she's got another one, like there's something missing
in that brain, there's something not working. Alex Michaelson moderated
a panel discussion at the Milk And Institute. They have
a global conference. He's the Fox eleven answer and Alex,
we're going to start with cut two and these are
(18:40):
pretty simple questions and this tells you everything you need
to know about Karen Bass's incompetence and stupidity and her dishonesty.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
White cut number two.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
So one of the big issues was the reservoir and
the fact that the reservoir was empty. The reservoir was empty,
It was not a reservoir, was a reservoir for drinking water.
So it was covered and the problem was there was
a tear in the cover, and so the state ordered
it to be empty and closed and it hadn't been
finished in time.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's a big lie. It's not for drinking purposes. It's not.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
You'd think she would have read the front page of
the La Times. Two weeks after the fire happened. On
January twenty second, Matt Hamilton and David Zanneiser wrote a
story headline, can't miss it. This reservoir was built to
save Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
It was empty when the flames came. Here are the details.
This is truth. This is the historical record.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
They went into the Times archives over fifty years ago
to find out why that reservoir was built. Now, remember
she said it was for drinking.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
He bases false.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
They werite After flames leveled nearly five hundred homes in
bel Air and Brentwood in nineteen sixty one, Los Angeles
had a reckoning over firefighting. By nineteen sixty four, city
leaders had added thirteen fire stations, mapped out fire hydrants,
purchased helicopters, and dispatched more crews to the Santa Monica Mountains.
(20:25):
To accommodate growth in Pacific Palisades, they built a reservoir
and sent in as Canyon as well as a pumping
station quote to increase fire protection end quote. As the
LA Department of Water empowers then chief water Engineer, Gerald W. Jones,
(20:45):
told The Times in nineteen seventy two. So if you
went to the Times database back to nineteen seventy two,
you will see an article quoting the chief water engineer
for the DWP, Gerald W.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Joe, Gerald W.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Jones, And he said the reservoir was built to increase
fire protection. And everybody knew that in the Palisades right
up to this day. Some Palisades residents had initially fought
to have a reservoir so closely, right fearing a repeat
of the nineteen sixty three Baldwin Hills disaster, where in
a reservoir failed, killing five people and destroying about two
(21:24):
hundred and eighty homes. In the decades since, the cent
Inez Reservoir has become a source of comfort, said Peggy Halter,
who purchased a townhouse in Palisades Highlands nineteen seventy eight.
I used to say all the time, boy, I know
one thing that will never happen is our place will
burn down. She's just a stone throw from the reservoir.
It was the one thing I never worried about. Now
(21:46):
we knew that Bass and the rest of the city
officials and the DWP officials were lying because one of
the attorneys representing the Palisades' residents came on the show
and told us that all of a sudden, all the
officials city references to the reservoir online and legal paperwork,
public statements, they suddenly started calling the reservoir.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
A drinking water reservoir.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's not, and I could prove to you it's not
because this reservoir was closed for much of last year
and nobody went thirsty in the Pacific Palisades. Remember they
drained it early in the year. I think it was February,
So if it was a drinking water reservoir, not one
(22:37):
time did anyone turn on the faucet and didn't have
enough water coming out, didn't have enough water pressure.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So that was clearly a lie.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Now I'm going to play a larger clip here, and
her comment about drinking water is embedded in this. Alex
asks Karen Dass if she's satisfied with the LEDWP response.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Are you satisfied with the performance of the LADWP. There's
been a lot of questions about Janice Canonis, who's making
seven over seven hundred thousand dollars a year. Do you
think that she did a good job and should she
continue in that job.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Well, I certainly would not sit here and say she
shouldn't continue in her job. But the issue with the
DWP actually is the DWP and the fire department as well.
So one of the big issues was the reservoir and
the fact that the reservoir was empty. The reservoir was empty,
it was not a reservoir. What was a reservoir for
drinking water? So it was covered and the problem was
(23:37):
there was a tear in the cover, and so the
state ordered it to be empty and closed, and it
hadn't been finished in time. The other issue that overlaps
with the fire department were the fire hydrants and there
is a lot of evaluation and reporting that we need
to do to fix that as well. So the way
it is done now is that the fire department essentially
(23:59):
inspect the fire hydrants and then they give the information
over to the DWP, and the DWP then fix repairs them.
That information was not received and so that was a
problem on the fire department. But the issue I would
raise is why do we even do it that way?
And so I think that we have to take the
lessons from this tragedy to figure out how we strengthen
(24:23):
all of our systems, and most notably the Emergency Management
Department as well as the fire department, both of those.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Why didn't you do that in your first two years?
This is the danger of hiring somebody to do a
job where she had no experience in politics at the
city level.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
She didn't.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
She spent the last more than a decade in Washington,
DC as a congresswoman, and before that she was up
in the legislature, so she didn't know anything about how
the city worked. Don't they you know, I'm sure they've
gone to a lot of DEI seminars and sexual harassment
senator seminars and racial sensitivity seminars. Did they ever have
(25:07):
a single seminar? What happens if there's a fire in
the Santa Monica Mountains? Do we have a water system
that can handle it or we can get a water pressure?
Are the fire hydrants working? Do we have enough fire engines?
Do we have enough firefighter personnel? Wouldn't you do a
run through once a year if you were the mayor?
(25:28):
Shouldn't that be said? I mean, you know, they all
have their DEI sexual harassment, racial sensitivity seminars every year,
you know, online seminars that gone for hours, but they
had no fire preparation seminars. What kind of a mayor
doesn't know all this up front and corrects it in advance.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Now let's learn the lessons.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Are we come back, Elex probs further about this this
Genie Kinoniez.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It's like a cockroach. I mean, you just can't get
rid of her.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Running DWP very badly, and she's making seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars a year and she screwed up with
the W and with the P. Tell you about it,
and we come back, and we'll play the clip.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
All right, before we go play one more clip. Alex Michaelson,
Fox eleven. He moderated a panel at the Milken Institute
Global Conference. Karen Dass is up there, and she lied
about the purpose of the Santienez Reservoir. She said it
had to be closed because it's meant for drinking water,
and that's why you had to fix the cover. No,
(26:48):
it was built for fire protection. Never should have been
emptied of its one hundred and seventeen million gallons.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
She not only lies, she it's.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Impossible for her to hold Genie Kennoona as responsible because
Kenoonnia is not only blew the reservoir situation by not
having it full during fire season, she also did not
cut the power off up in the Pacific Highlands and
(27:18):
then one of the power polls collapsed, brought energized lines
down on dry brush, and that caused a second fire
that day, twelve hours after the fire originally broke. Was
this second fire, And I think that did a lot
of damage by itself.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But at the if the.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Power had been turned off, how did they not turn
off the power? The fire is burning for twelve hours.
So she's not only she's dangerous. How she may have
killed people? And she's making seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars a year and listened to Bess defend the salary
cut number three.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
But you understand how some people see that job performance
maybe not meriting seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That's more than you make, that's more than Let me.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Let me just say that the DWP is the nation's
largest utility, and if you compare our utility to Omaha, Nebraska,
where the salary was around the same. A small town,
I mean in Bigtail, maybe in Nebraska, but small compared
to Los Angeles. And so to me, I want to
(28:20):
get the best talent around the around the nation, and
we did a national search and that's what it took.
She took a significant pay cut to come to work
for Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Woh good, I guess I'm in the wrong line of work.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So what all right? You can stop it there. She
took it.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
She took us a significant pay cut. I'm going to
find out what her what her background was. That's the
best talent, the best talent, Len's lend let's a one
hundred and seventeen million gallon reservoir sit dry. That's the
best talent, Like Kristin Crowley, that was the best talent
to run the fire department and send the fire fired
(28:58):
his home. This is insane speech, This is ridiculous. She's
got no shame at all. Let's that's a crazy person
talking there. That's an absolute crazy person. She hired these
people and she's got such a such an ego. Why
(29:19):
didn't you admit you you hired a failure? You kept
Kristin Crowley on she was a failure. You kept ken
Onya's on she's a failure and you're a failure. All
three of them did.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Now she's covering up and lying.
Speaker 7 (29:36):
And.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
We did a nationwide search.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
The last guy who was the DWP, Haad did it
for four hundred some odd thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I don't know if he would have filled up the
reservoir or not. We'll never know that.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
But you didn't have to pay seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars a year to the woman who helped burn
down Palisades. You could have gotten somebody to do that
for less money. All Right, we'll be back tomorrow. We've
got Conway up in minutes. We got Michael Krozer with
the News Live and the CAFI twenty four hour News Center. Hey,
(30:13):
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.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We do this every day from one to four, and
after four o'clock. Whatever you missed you can hear on
the John Cobelt Show podcast on demand and that gets posted.
I don't know a little bit after for just keep
trying and moist Lane's eight seven seven moist eighty six,
(00:25):
eight seven seven moist eighty six. Some people are very
excited today that we have a new pope, the first
American pope. But then I'm listening to Deborah's news and
he's speaking in Italian. What's the point of an American
pope If he's speaking in Italian? Sounds just like the
last one. I want to hear. I want to hear English?
(00:49):
Or was he speaking in Latin? Thought I heard Latin
today too.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
He speaks numerous languages.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Well how about English? How about the home language.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Cubs fans jumped the gun too and said he was
a Cubs fan, but he's actually a white Sox fan.
Oh no, then he's a loser. Nobody admits of being
a white Sox fan.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Buzz brother out of him. Wait a second, did he
say he was a Cubs fan.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Cubs fans jumped on at the Cubs social media tweeted
something about it.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
We don't have a pope who's lying on his first day,
do we. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
They're like politicians. They're trying to please everybody, all right now,
from the holy to the unholy. The California Assembly, which
is spent an enormous amount of time over a week
fighting over whether it should be a felony to buy
a teenager for sex. You wouldn't believe how many Democratic
(01:49):
Assembly members object to that concept. In fact, I can
tell you exactly how many fifty five of them voted
to voted against it a felony. We're talking about soliciting, purchasing,
buying sixteen and seventeen year olds girls and boys for sex.
(02:11):
They're being pimped out, prostituted, all right. They're being made
to do unspeakable things against their will with their bodies.
And you got fifty five Democrats in the Assembly going, oh,
what's wrong with that?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But you know, every Assembly.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Member, every every group, you know, every committee gets besieged
by lobbyists. So here come the professional adult sex workers
and sex worker advocates that would be their pips. I
guess what I did this phrase sex workers. No, it's prostitutes.
(02:50):
It's hookers, that's what it is. Don't give us this
this sex worker thing. That's not a job. They showed
up to Wednesday's hearing to oppose the idea of making
it a felony to buy a sixteen year old for
sex because I guess they make a lot of money.
(03:16):
I would think the Yeah, the pips make a lot
of money selling sixteen year olds. There's a big market
for that, girls and boys. So their livelihoods are threatened here.
All the pips are upset. Excuse me the advocates. Why
are the wieners in news so quick to use every
(03:36):
stupid euphemism there is no and who decides that these
euphemisms have to be used.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
I just.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
You know, all my life I knew that somebody telling
sex on the street was a harker, a prostitute. I
think is the more a technical turn? And then somewhere
along the line I woke up, Now they're sex workers.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh they have a union.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Oh when they have a lobbying force in Sacramento, which
I guess delighted all the perverts that pedophiles and predators
on the Assembly Public Safety Committee. Let me give you
an example of one of these advocates, the founder of
the Sidewalk Project. Well, I guess we understand what that is.
Huh her name? I think it's her soa snake oil?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Ooh, snake oil?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Is that a thing?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
I wouldn't know?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, you jumped on that all.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Well, because it's just it sounds like warming.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Maybe some sort of a new lubricant. Soma.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Snake oil is upset because she says, this is a
law enforcement approach to sex trafficking and sex work. We
need a public health approach, and we urge you to
ap oh the bill.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
What do we public health approach?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
You have sixteen seventeen year olds being violated by by
by disgusting middle aged men for the most part. I mean, yeah,
they ought to get their shots to protect them. There's
there's a there's a da Jonathan Raven he's a spokesman
(05:25):
for the California District Attorney's Association, and he's trying to
inject some common sense, some obvious common sense, and he says,
the buyers are the source. If we eliminate the buyers,
we're not going to have the crime. A misdemeanor these
days is like a citation. It's like a traffic ticket.
There's no accountability, there's no deterrence. It used to be
(05:50):
when they enforced misdemeanors, you would get six months in
a county jail. And then if that was the law,
maybe some people go, well, okay, you know, but they
got They don't enforce misdemeanor punishments anymore, I mean, none
of them at all. You really just get a ticket,
(06:10):
what do they call it? A desk appearance citation? I
guess you'd show up to the judge and go, oh yeah, yeah,
a bout a sixteen year old girl?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Is that wrong?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But I can't believe the emotion on the other side,
And there's only one emotion on an issue comes when
you are personally invested, personally involved in the issue. It
happened to you in your life, it's important to you.
Now you may engage in this kind of behavior. And
I cannot imagine anybody being this emotionally invested in protecting
(06:48):
the perverts from being charged with a felony unless they
themselves are said pervert.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's the only reason.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
So all fifty five Assembly members are suspect, including the women.
And we went through yesterday the history of women who
enable deviant sex acts. You could start with the Glene
Maxwell for Jeffrey Epstein. You could go with most of
the women who worked for Harvey Weinstein. You know Dottie Sandusky,
(07:21):
Jerry's Jerry's wife. You know she found a book to
read every time a young boy was taken down into
the basement, into the house of ours. So they showed
up wednesday. They don't want police to get more power
to intervene in prostitution.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
And by the way, it is, really it makes.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
A neighborhood great when you have teenagers being exploited for
sex in the backseat of cars, and the cars are
all parked along one side of the road and the
prostitutes are lined up on the other side. Who wouldn't
want to raise a family in the neighborhood like that,
Who wouldn't have a business? Tell these people are truly insane.
(08:03):
Assembly Member Buffy Wicks, she's one of these dotty Sandusky types.
She's a woman from Oakland. Buffy Wicks. There's been a
lot of feelings and opinions about this in the past
week or so, but personally, I don't questions anyone commitment
or intent to keep our children safe. Well, I do.
You all voted against it being a felony. I don't
(08:26):
question anyone's commitment to keep them safe. Well, if you're
gonna make it a misdemeanor, which isn't enforest, then they're
not safe. Buffy grown woman named Buffy, And of course
she's the first one interviewed. We come back, Okay, I
stirred up your alligator fear right. Yeah, Oh, I've got
(08:46):
more on the air traffic control.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's even worse.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
It's even worse than I thought because I heard the
quote you played by Sean Duffy the Transportation Yeah, Secretary,
and they're gonna invest in fiber optics and wireless and satellite.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Technologies that have been around for many decades. Now.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I don't get it, I really don't.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Is this should have been a priority number one?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
All that stuff was a big deal in the nineties.
Fiber Optics is not advanced technology anymore. Neither is wireless
or satellite. Anyway, when you hear how bad it.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Is, do we really need to talk about that?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
You're going to be taking buses for the rest of
your life, you're being a bus strip Italy.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Next year you're listening to John Cobelt on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Okay, yesterday we told you a lot about the failures
in air traffic control, specifically in Newark, where they lost
their radar and they lost their radio system and the
pilots and air t traffic control operators could not communicate
with each other. And this was so scary that a
(10:05):
twenty percent of the staff at that air traffic control
center is taking trauma leave, which I think is a
load of horse crap. You're traumatized because your radio goes
out for thirty cent Get back in the game because
now they're severely short staffed. Now there's a greater likelihood
(10:25):
of an accident, and it's going to be your fault
because you're at home sucking your thumb and whimpering under
your bed covers. What happened to men in this country?
You imagine if this crowd had to fight in World
War two? Can you imagine here they had their screen
go dark for thirty seconds. That's what happened. I'm not
(10:48):
minimizing it, but in thirty seconds, it was over. In
thirty seconds. The radios were working, and then you go
on trauma leave for weeks twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Of the staff.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't know how these guys are, but this is
a generation of whimps and whoossies.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I mean embarrassing.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
That is embarrassing the male species that you couldn't handle
thirty second seconds ofttention without taking a month off.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Aren't there some women air traffic controllers as well?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Well, they should be embarrassed too. They're supposed to be better.
I expect more. You your crowded, smarter than us.
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Very true.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Now listen to this.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
A former FAA official and other airline industry insiders told
The New York Post that air traffic controllers are you
going to love this? Are facing about one thousand equipment
failures per week, a thousand. Now, this problem in New
(11:56):
York was caused by a fried piece of copper wire.
The whole system is made of copper wire, and so
they're experiencing one thousand outages a week because the wires
all burned out. It fall fried. This is why Sean
Duffy is saying we're going to use fiber optics. Yeah,
(12:18):
fiber optics was a big breakthrough. I think thirty five
years ago. In fact, that's what one industry leader said.
Most of the current technology is from the late nineteen
eighties early nineties. And you know, we played clips of
Joe Biden trying to yuck it up on the view
(12:40):
and everybody's cackling, and you know, he had a simility attack.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
The audience was cheering wildly.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Meantime, planes are about to fall from the sky. The
Biden administration did nothing about this. I don't think the
first Trump administration did anything, either, nor Obama or Bush,
any of them. This is a thirty five your problem.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's amazing that we haven't had more fatal accidents than
we've had.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
It is shocking. But I think we have had a
lot of near misses very in the last couple of years.
And I always wondered, is that is that always gone
on or is this the media just lasted ever since
that door blew off the Yeah, And I'm thinking momental
Maybe it's because everything's aging at the same time. You know,
maybe this is the thirty five year rot that's taking place.
(13:34):
There's tens of thousands of flights every day. They have
never had fewer qualified air traffic controllers on a percentage basis,
they have their computer systems running on floppy discs, which
if if you under the age of if you're over
(13:59):
the age of forty five or under the age of
forty five, you probably don't even know what a floppy
disk is, but it's what computers ran on. You slid
the disc into a slot and that had the information
on it that would appear on your screen. David Grizzle,
served as FAA Chief counsel under Obama, said the air
(14:21):
traffic control problem is entirely due to archaic equipment, shortage
of air traffic controllers, inadequate funding from Congress. When you
have unscheduled outages like what happened, you can't do the
safety for efficiency trade off like we've been doing.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
At Newark.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
The average flight is four hours delayed, and Newark is
the hub for United and a lot of people who
fly into New York City go to Newark. I've gone
there dozens of times. Like I said yesterday, that airport
was maybe fifteen miles from my house. The FAA is
holding planes on the ground all over the country. We're
(15:06):
short a thousand air traffic controllers compared to the year
twenty twelve and that's a nine percent decrease. They only
hired thirty four last year. We're short over one thousand.
They hired thirty four. We're having to cancel hundreds of
(15:30):
flights because we simply don't have the technology and staffing
to manage them. Yeah, and the airlines are always obsessed
with making more money and more money, and what they
do is stuff more and more flights into the schedule.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They're too concerned with charging you per bag and all
of that instead of this stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, yeah, I like Southwest is charging for bags now.
That was the last free bag airline. What official said
in Newark. By the way, the light is blinking.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I see that or is it? Or am I having
a No?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
I've noticed that is somebody trying to send you a
message from above.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
The lights have been flickering all day.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Did I make one too many jokes about the Pope?
Just you know, it's going to like give me an
epileptic seizure. That blinking anyway, The official said primary communication
line went down in Newark. The backup line didn't fire. Okay,
so the main system and the backup system didn't work.
So for thirty seconds, everybody lost contact.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
We got to take a break. This is enough bad news.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, I can't deal with this.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Don't call anyhoere I stay home and wait for the earthquake. Well,
we come back. If you missed it early, this is
worth sticking around for. We've got lips of Karen Bass
at some panel discussion that Alex Michaelston hosted from Fox
eleven and Karen Bass is sitting on a stage and
(17:10):
lining a rear end off and it's about it's about
the reservoir, and it's about the head of the d WP.
The idiot genis Qez. You are going to be shocked
how Bass is just blatantly lying right to people's faces.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
We'll play some clips when we come back.
Speaker 6 (17:29):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Last call for the Moist line at eight seven seven
Moist eighty six eight seven seven Moist eighty six or
the talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. Twenty four hours
from now, we'll play it twice and within an hour
you'll be able to have today's podcast posted on the
iHeartRadio app John co Belt Show on demand. In case
you missed what we did earlier in the show, we
(17:58):
have occasionally been talking today about Karen Bass's public appearance.
She doesn't make too many because she should be hiding
in shame for the way she's handled the fire. From
the moment she lifted off for Africa right up to
this moment, it has been one bumblow and stumble after another,
(18:18):
and then she's got another one, like there's something missing
in that brain, there's something not working. Alex Michaelson moderated
a panel discussion at the Milk And Institute. They have
a global conference. He's the Fox eleven answer and Alex,
we're going to start with cut two and these are
(18:40):
pretty simple questions and this tells you everything you need
to know about Karen Bass's incompetence and stupidity and her dishonesty.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
White cut number two.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
So one of the big issues was the reservoir and
the fact that the reservoir was empty. The reservoir was empty,
It was not a reservoir, was a reservoir for drinking water.
So it was covered and the problem was there was
a tear in the cover, and so the state ordered
it to be empty and closed and it hadn't been
finished in time.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
That's a big lie. It's not for drinking purposes. It's not.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
You'd think she would have read the front page of
the La Times. Two weeks after the fire happened. On
January twenty second, Matt Hamilton and David Zanneiser wrote a
story headline, can't miss it. This reservoir was built to
save Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
It was empty when the flames came. Here are the details.
This is truth. This is the historical record.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
They went into the Times archives over fifty years ago
to find out why that reservoir was built. Now, remember
she said it was for drinking.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
He bases false.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
They werite After flames leveled nearly five hundred homes in
bel Air and Brentwood in nineteen sixty one, Los Angeles
had a reckoning over firefighting. By nineteen sixty four, city
leaders had added thirteen fire stations, mapped out fire hydrants,
purchased helicopters, and dispatched more crews to the Santa Monica Mountains.
(20:25):
To accommodate growth in Pacific Palisades, they built a reservoir
and sent in as Canyon as well as a pumping
station quote to increase fire protection end quote. As the
LA Department of Water empowers then chief water Engineer, Gerald W. Jones,
(20:45):
told The Times in nineteen seventy two. So if you
went to the Times database back to nineteen seventy two,
you will see an article quoting the chief water engineer
for the DWP, Gerald W.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Joe, Gerald W.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Jones, And he said the reservoir was built to increase
fire protection. And everybody knew that in the Palisades right
up to this day. Some Palisades residents had initially fought
to have a reservoir so closely, right fearing a repeat
of the nineteen sixty three Baldwin Hills disaster, where in
a reservoir failed, killing five people and destroying about two
(21:24):
hundred and eighty homes. In the decades since, the cent
Inez Reservoir has become a source of comfort, said Peggy Halter,
who purchased a townhouse in Palisades Highlands nineteen seventy eight.
I used to say all the time, boy, I know
one thing that will never happen is our place will
burn down. She's just a stone throw from the reservoir.
It was the one thing I never worried about. Now
(21:46):
we knew that Bass and the rest of the city
officials and the DWP officials were lying because one of
the attorneys representing the Palisades' residents came on the show
and told us that all of a sudden, all the
officials city references to the reservoir online and legal paperwork,
public statements, they suddenly started calling the reservoir.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
A drinking water reservoir.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
It's not, and I could prove to you it's not
because this reservoir was closed for much of last year
and nobody went thirsty in the Pacific Palisades. Remember they
drained it early in the year. I think it was February,
So if it was a drinking water reservoir, not one
(22:37):
time did anyone turn on the faucet and didn't have
enough water coming out, didn't have enough water pressure.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So that was clearly a lie.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
Now I'm going to play a larger clip here, and
her comment about drinking water is embedded in this. Alex
asks Karen Dass if she's satisfied with the LEDWP response.
Speaker 7 (23:00):
Are you satisfied with the performance of the LADWP. There's
been a lot of questions about Janice Canonis, who's making
seven over seven hundred thousand dollars a year. Do you
think that she did a good job and should she
continue in that job.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
Well, I certainly would not sit here and say she
shouldn't continue in her job. But the issue with the
DWP actually is the DWP and the fire department as well.
So one of the big issues was the reservoir and
the fact that the reservoir was empty. The reservoir was empty,
it was not a reservoir. What was a reservoir for
drinking water? So it was covered and the problem was
(23:37):
there was a tear in the cover, and so the
state ordered it to be empty and closed, and it
hadn't been finished in time. The other issue that overlaps
with the fire department were the fire hydrants and there
is a lot of evaluation and reporting that we need
to do to fix that as well. So the way
it is done now is that the fire department essentially
(23:59):
inspect the fire hydrants and then they give the information
over to the DWP, and the DWP then fix repairs them.
That information was not received and so that was a
problem on the fire department. But the issue I would
raise is why do we even do it that way?
And so I think that we have to take the
lessons from this tragedy to figure out how we strengthen
(24:23):
all of our systems, and most notably the Emergency Management
Department as well as the fire department, both of those.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Why didn't you do that in your first two years?
This is the danger of hiring somebody to do a
job where she had no experience in politics at the
city level.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
She didn't.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
She spent the last more than a decade in Washington,
DC as a congresswoman, and before that she was up
in the legislature, so she didn't know anything about how
the city worked. Don't they you know, I'm sure they've
gone to a lot of DEI seminars and sexual harassment
senator seminars and racial sensitivity seminars. Did they ever have
(25:07):
a single seminar? What happens if there's a fire in
the Santa Monica Mountains? Do we have a water system
that can handle it or we can get a water pressure?
Are the fire hydrants working? Do we have enough fire engines?
Do we have enough firefighter personnel? Wouldn't you do a
run through once a year if you were the mayor?
(25:28):
Shouldn't that be said? I mean, you know, they all
have their DEI sexual harassment, racial sensitivity seminars every year,
you know, online seminars that gone for hours, but they
had no fire preparation seminars. What kind of a mayor
doesn't know all this up front and corrects it in advance.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Now let's learn the lessons.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Are we come back, Elex probs further about this this
Genie Kinoniez.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
It's like a cockroach. I mean, you just can't get
rid of her.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Running DWP very badly, and she's making seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars a year and she screwed up with
the W and with the P. Tell you about it,
and we come back, and we'll play the clip.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
All right, before we go play one more clip. Alex Michaelson,
Fox eleven. He moderated a panel at the Milken Institute
Global Conference. Karen Dass is up there, and she lied
about the purpose of the Santienez Reservoir. She said it
had to be closed because it's meant for drinking water,
and that's why you had to fix the cover. No,
(26:48):
it was built for fire protection. Never should have been
emptied of its one hundred and seventeen million gallons.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
She not only lies, she it's.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Impossible for her to hold Genie Kennoona as responsible because
Kenoonnia is not only blew the reservoir situation by not
having it full during fire season, she also did not
cut the power off up in the Pacific Highlands and
(27:18):
then one of the power polls collapsed, brought energized lines
down on dry brush, and that caused a second fire
that day, twelve hours after the fire originally broke. Was
this second fire, And I think that did a lot
of damage by itself.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
But at the if the.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Power had been turned off, how did they not turn
off the power? The fire is burning for twelve hours.
So she's not only she's dangerous. How she may have
killed people? And she's making seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars a year and listened to Bess defend the salary
cut number three.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
But you understand how some people see that job performance
maybe not meriting seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
That's more than you make, that's more than Let me.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Let me just say that the DWP is the nation's
largest utility, and if you compare our utility to Omaha, Nebraska,
where the salary was around the same. A small town,
I mean in Bigtail, maybe in Nebraska, but small compared
to Los Angeles. And so to me, I want to
(28:20):
get the best talent around the around the nation, and
we did a national search and that's what it took.
She took a significant pay cut to come to work
for Los Angeles.
Speaker 7 (28:29):
Woh good, I guess I'm in the wrong line of work.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
So what all right? You can stop it there. She
took it.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
She took us a significant pay cut. I'm going to
find out what her what her background was. That's the
best talent, the best talent, Len's lend let's a one
hundred and seventeen million gallon reservoir sit dry. That's the
best talent, Like Kristin Crowley, that was the best talent
to run the fire department and send the fire fired
(28:58):
his home. This is insane speech, This is ridiculous. She's
