Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We have Laura Ingall in a minute reporting from New
York and the Diddy trial. But first John Fleischmann coming on.
So does Itmatter? Dot Com is his website. He's had
the Flash Report for years and this is about the
(00:22):
South Coast Air Quality Management District, who is voting on
a proposal today that would have forced you eventually to
get an electric water heater and an electric furnace. Gas
water heaters and gas furnaces would be disallowed in the future.
And we have had a big vote, and John's got
(00:43):
the results.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
As I am very happy to report that we actually
defeated the measure. Well, the vote was the vote was
five in favor, it was seven against, and in doing so,
that means that three Democrats crossed over and voted with
the four Republicans. Don't worry, I'm going to give you
everybody's name. I understand we're in a hurry, but it
(01:07):
was very contentious, but it was clear that the combined
effect of all of the people emailing in, including thousands
from this show. The US Attorney Billy is Saley sending
that letter. I'm sure they were all wondering could they
get sued Personally, I don't even know what was going
through their mind. So at the end of the day,
I'm just going to really quickly tell you the people
that voted yes were Vanessa Delgado, the chair, Mike boy
(01:31):
I can't pronounce Chaciati.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
It's Italian.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I'm going to get in trouble.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
He voted yes.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Polly Mitchell of course voted yes. Veronica Padilla Campos voted yes.
A Nitha Ramond voted yes but then voting no. Republican
Kurt Hagman, Democrat Patricia lof Dawson, the mayor of Riverside.
Voting no was Republican Larry McCallen, Republican county supervisor from
Orange County, Janet Wyn who was on your show earlier.
(01:58):
Brenda Almos voted no, and Manny Perez voted on Riverside
County Supervisors. So this was I mean, you could see
the chair was and and advice you that we're trying
to figure out what can you do a compromise. Can
we do something else, maybe we can get part of
the tax. But at the end of the day. You know,
they've never huge hashed out policy and called. So this
(02:19):
is a big everybody listening to this show should be.
I mean, we don't get victories in California and we
just got one. The chair even said if this comes back,
it's probably not going to be this year. And I'm
sure they'll try to bring it back. But everyone on
this show that emailed in, they called, you know, should
be proud of themselves and it means we got to
keep doing this because it matters. But this is a
(02:42):
big win.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
We got to take the win.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
John, thank you for your coverage. I really appreciate it.
And we'll talk again on Monday and we're going to
have one of the board members on a Janet Win
at three thirty five. First, now let's go to New
York a busy day. This was Laura Ingele reporting for
News Nation on the Didty trial. And Laura also has
(03:05):
a new YouTube channel with a lot of behind the
scenes stuff for the true crime story she does and
the court stories she covers.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
The Ingle edit on YouTube. The Ingle Edit.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Laura tell us what went on in the Didty trial today?
We had another ex girlfriend testify.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Well, yes, and it's a tough segue from your last reporter,
but I don't try getting there talking about baby oil
and piercings and hotel nights and what we have to
get into. So what we heard from today we had Jane.
It's a pseudonym, the woman who is testifying as an
alleged victim, one of the four victims we're supposed to
(03:43):
hear from in this trial. And she is the most
recent girlfriend of Sean Calm. She was still with him
when he was arrested. And in fact, one of the
things we learned today was that Shawn Colms is still
paying her what sounds to be very high rent. Are
they still together? Not sure, doesn't sound like it, but
(04:03):
he's still paying her rent, and that's something we hope
to learn maybe when we continue testimony on Monday. She
is not done with direct So what we learned today
from Jane, a beautiful woman up on the stand, tearful
throughout the entire day, talking about you know, just like
Cassie Ventura, his other ex girlfriend, saying that she loved him,
(04:26):
she just wanted to be with him. But it really
sounds like this is kind of a prerequisite sort of thing.
These freak offs in order to be with him, and
if you didn't want to do the freak offs, you
probably weren't going to get any alone time and.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
He was going to move on.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
So if you wanted to be his girlfriend, he had
to do. You know, this was she called them hotel
night and one of I think one of the saddest
parts of her testimony today is true, was her talking
about how, you know, it was supposed to be just
maybe this one time where she we had a male
escort come into a hotel room and she fulfilled his
(04:59):
sexual fan the season, having sex with other men while
he watched, and she thought she would be done, but
she said to the jury, you know, this basically opened
a Pandora's box, because once we started, it was that's
what it was from then on. And one of the
stories she told was that this one time he said,
let's go to Miami for your birthday and she goes, oh,
you know, thank god, let's just go to Miami for
(05:20):
my birthday. That sounds so nice. They go to Miami,
they have a beautiful time. He takes her to Nobuo,
they have a great dinner, and then he says to
her over dinner, I can't wait to find out what
the entertainment is going to be tonight, and that usually
meant you know who who is the man going to be?
And she she said that she gulped and she got
a sinking feeling in her stomach and in her throat,
and she knew what it meant. She got back to
(05:42):
the hotel, he gave her a piece of jewelry for
her birthday, and then incomes a man, and she knew
that she had to perform. So it was a total
bait and switch for her. And she was crying throughout
that testimony. And I think where we're going with this
John into the sex trafficking part is you know, she
flew to Miami to have sex with men that she
didn't though she was going to have sex with, and
then there were a lot of men as it turned
(06:04):
out throughout that episode.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
So that's the crime there, right right.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
Well, that's what they're you know, I think laying the
brickwork on the path to getting there. And a lot
of people have said throughout all of this, you know,
they're not proving their case. They're talking about baby oil.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
But remember it.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
I just have to keep saying it. It's an eight
week trial and these victims and these people. And I
told you before it reminds me of the Michael Jackson
trial when we were covering it together, you and I
that we heard from a lot of these insiders. So
we're hearing all the inner workings of what was going
on behind closed doors, and some of those doors were
kicked down, as we heard Jane testify about today that
(06:40):
when she found out that she that Sean Colmebs might
have been seeing somebody else, she said, hey, are you
seeing somebody else?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
He became enraged.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
He started chasing her around whatever hotel or apartment they
were in, kicking down doors, ended up beating her, choking her,
punching or giving her a black eye, and then said
go put some makeup on. That we're calling another male
squirt and get ready.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And she was in physical pain some of the time.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
I've read, yes, and she described that and a lot
of physical pain sometimes. There was one hotel night that
she said she became ill. And she said she was sober,
and she did talk about a lot of drug use
and that drugs were introduced to her through Combs and
through his associates, and she said one night she got
really sick and he said, go ahead and go throw up.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
It'll make you feel better. You've got to finish stromp.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
But she'd get hurt sometimes during these freak ofths.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
She you know, well, I talked about the time that
he beat her up after she hit in a bathroom,
and it did sound like sometimes we're violent. We learned
that he paid for he's paying for her rent and
he said that she was asked, didn't pay for anything else?
She said, yes, my teeth.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Why why?
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Because he didn't like Shawancombs didn't like the way her teeth.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Looked, and he said, get him fixed, got herveners.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
So we're hearing, like I said, all the inner workings
of their relationship, and we're going to continue. We know
that she's going to, you know, get cross examined by
the defense team, and what that will bring we don't know.
But I also want to mention, in case you didn't
touch on it yesterday, that Shawn Colmbs and his defense
team got in trouble by the judge because Colmbs was
seen nodding vigorously during some of the cross examination of
(08:20):
another woman that was on the stand, and he was
also trying to make eyes and eye contact with some
of the jury members, and the judge called lunch, got
the jury out of the room and said, next time
you do that, what could happen is you could be
removed from the entirety of the rest of the trial,
which we are only apparently halfway through. And that would
be huge if Shawn Combs wasn't sitting there because he
(08:42):
has a right to face the people who are accusing him.
So he's been apparently this was the third time that
he has done that, where he's been trying to make
eye contact and when he hears something that he.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Likes coming from a witness.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Although uh huh, like nodding really hard and trying to
trying to make contact eye contact with during them, is
trying to you know, become friends with the friendly listen.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Has he been trying to intimidate them in any way?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Do we know?
Speaker 8 (09:06):
Well?
Speaker 7 (09:06):
And that's what the judge said. It's not just you know,
trying to make eye contacts with them. Yes, absolutely, intimidation
and just kind of trying to get their attention. I
mean a lot of different things. One of them, remember
there was that story. The reason why he's still locked up,
the reason why he's not out on Bill is because
(09:26):
he was allegedly trying to have witness camper and going
into the he was trying apparently to contact people who
are willing to testify, and because of that behavior, he
remains locked up during this trial.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Wow, that's heavy stuff. Laura, thank you very much for
coming on. I know your Basic News Nation. She's one
of their top correspondents and she has a YouTube channel
called the Ingle Edit with a lot of behind the
scenes footage of the true crime story she covers and
the court trials she covers. Thanks Laura. When we we
(10:00):
come back, we got around one of the moistline. Dever's
gonna have the news and then we're gonna have Janet
Win on. She's one of the She's on the board
of the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Big shocking news.
We just found out moments ago that, you know how,
they were gonna ban you from having a gas furnace
(10:20):
or a gas powered water heater. That proposition and a
big shock lost all that ahead.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We won one.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Huh, the ban on gas furnaces and gas powered water
heaters not gonna happen. A lot of it due to
pressure from KFI listeners. We're gonna have more details on
that South Coast air Quality Management District. They voted down
that band seven to five, second time in the last
(10:56):
few years it's been voted down. And we're gonna have
Janet Win, one of the board members who we talked
with during a break in the meeting just after one o'clock,
and she's going to come back with us in about
ten minutes. In the meantime, the Moist Line Part one
Round one here.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Thank Sean, thanks for calling a moistline.
Speaker 10 (11:19):
I'm so excited to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
To BAP time.
Speaker 11 (11:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Other countries, third world countries, even second world countries have
handled their homeless crisis very simply. If you go to Bogatah, Bangkok,
you go to Singapore, you go to any of these
major cities, they have high rise towers where they actually
house thousands of people that otherwise would probably be homeless
or on the street. They do provide some social services,
some medical care, some retraining, but it's an organized condition
(11:45):
that the government sets up so these people are not
meandering on the street.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
This competition where males compete in female sports, you know,
why don't they just do one better and say that
I want to go to an elementary school and compete
against entry kick.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Hard times creates strong men.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Strong men create good times.
Speaker 10 (12:05):
Good times create weak men.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Weak men create hard times. It's a vicious circle.
Speaker 12 (12:11):
And we are at the point of weak men creating
hard times. The mayor of Los Angeles workless maths. She's
all upset that a thousand people destroyed the city, but
yet she doesn't care about the thousands and thousands of
helpless people that are destroying the city. She wants the
rest made, but yet she did like the helpless people
(12:32):
destroyed the city.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
If you ask me, Trump should invite all the girls
from that weekend Track and Field who won.
Speaker 13 (12:39):
Or placed to the White House.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Put only the biological females.
Speaker 14 (12:44):
John's mayor is your favorite?
Speaker 15 (12:46):
Two Tom Governor Jay Brown?
Speaker 12 (12:48):
I like trains, little needle of steel and rubber when we.
Speaker 16 (12:52):
Have iron horseshoes. Stame, Gottle flashes Thame.
Speaker 17 (12:58):
Why do these legislators have to pass so many laws?
Speaker 18 (13:01):
They haven't sit back and say, hey, we don't.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Need any more laws. What is?
Speaker 15 (13:04):
They got to manage everything?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I just don't understand it.
Speaker 17 (13:07):
So every year they passed six hundred laws.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
Good lord, we're absolutely doomed.
Speaker 19 (13:13):
Don't forget, California has its own blend of gasoline, so
we've got to repeal that gasoline mandate on this blend
itself carved.
Speaker 15 (13:22):
Not just the taxes.
Speaker 11 (13:23):
So the CIA disqualifies a girl for u sportsline conduct
due to our celebrations, but they're fine with letting a
boy compete with other girls. What is it?
Speaker 10 (13:36):
I always found it very strange that the word sonic
that sounds like it starts with an F, actually starts.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
With a P.
Speaker 15 (13:43):
Seems to me, if these senators that are voting down
all of these bills for energy and lowering the cost
of gas and they can afford it and they don't
have any problem with it, that tells me they're getting
paid way too much, and they're now becoming the elite
in our state, and now we're all a little worker beef.
That's just wrong.
Speaker 13 (14:02):
Thank you, John for opposing high speed fail for the
last two decades. It's not high speed rail because there
is no rail. It's high speed fail. It's a mafia
style money laundering scheme to trick global liberals, and your
voice has been crucial in today's big win.
Speaker 14 (14:20):
What about that flamethrower guy.
Speaker 17 (14:22):
If he's illegal and if family is.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Illegal, okay, why can't they deport the family? Why do
we have to go to the court. They're overstein their visas.
It's clear as that I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, and gasoline
is three dollars a gallon.
Speaker 14 (14:37):
Hey, John, this is Mark and New Orleans in the
French water gas over here two dollars in thirty seven
cents a gallon. Somebody's got to do something in California
to bring these prices down for y'all.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
We got the AQMD air quality Management, we got the curve.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Do we really need both?
Speaker 8 (14:55):
John, don't buy the bs about the homeless in.
Speaker 20 (14:58):
Long Beach from the fire zone.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
They are off of the Metro. Long Beach homeless went
through the roof when the.
Speaker 20 (15:06):
Metro system started kicking everybody off of the train at
the end of the night. Guess where one of the
end of the lines is Downtown Long Beach.
Speaker 10 (15:15):
Can tell somebody tell me how many of those water
bombing planes we would have been able to purchase, or
actually what size would the fleet be based all the
money that has been wasted from the trains absolutely nowhere,
with absolutely no accountability. It's absolutely ludicrous. I mean, I
can't even drive down the street without a pothole cut
(15:36):
through my fire. Somebody, please, I want to know.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Thank you for leaving your message. Please hang up goodbye.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Two thirty seven gas in New Orleans two dollars and
thirty seven cents and I paid four fifty nine this
morning on the West Side, which is the cheapest in
the neighborhood, to thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
That guy said, right, what is wrong with you people? Why?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
And you're voted for this? This is entirely from Newsom
and the legislature. The difference between the two thirty seven
in New Orleans and the four point fifty nine plus
here in LA is entirely Newsome and the California legislature.
I just don't get it. And the guy call him
(16:24):
from Long Beach. No, we didn't believe that bs. We
were making fun of it. Of course, those aren't fire
refugees in Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Long Beach.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
You're trying to say that people fled Pacific Palisades to
Long Beach and now they're homeless. No, the people in
the Palisades, they have the money to rent a place
they're not living in the streets. He's right, that's what
the metro system does. They did it to Santa Monica
two as soon as they expanded the metro system. The
(16:55):
last stop at the end of the night dumps dozens
of homeless people. When we come back at Janet win
and she's on the board for the South Coast Air
Quality Management District, Big win for us people here. They're
not going to force us to get a they're not
going to force us to get an electric water heater
(17:18):
or an electric furnace. We'll tell you all about it
a few minutes.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
A six forty second round of the moist line coming
up in about ten twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It was looking bleak all week.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
The South Coast Air Quality Management District South Coast AQMD,
probably an agency you've never even heard of, but they
have a lot of power over your life. Another one
of these unelected agencies. It's a cousin to the California
Air Resources Board, and the South Coast AQMD governs all
(17:57):
of Orange County and La County, Bernardino County, Riverside County,
Coachella Valley, all right, the whole region with the exclusion
of the desert, and they control the air.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And they decided that.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Having a gas powered furnace or a gas powered water
heater releases certain elements into the air, and they don't
like it. And you're gonna have to get an electric
water heater an electric furnace, and that's going to cost
a lot more money. And they tried this a couple
of years ago and the blowback was intense. They tried
it again this week on short notice. We became aware,
(18:36):
but thousands of you contacted and you pulled off a
miracle because the proposal went down to defeat seven to five.
And about two and a half hours ago we had
Janet went on. She is an Orange County supervisor and
a member of the South Coast AQMD board, and it
(18:58):
was looking dicey. Then he's back now and she's gonna
explain what went on. It was seven to five to
turn down this proposal. Janet, how are you.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
I'm good, Thank you, John, I'm excited. Thank you. I
want to thank you and the community for engaging. I mean,
if you didn't go out there, you didn't talk to
the folks. This could not have happened. This is something
that is unheard of. This is probably the first time
in over thirty five, I mean twenty five years that
a rule, a significant rule was voted down from the
(19:28):
from a kim D. So this is extremely significant. And
this is this really comes down to, as you know,
the folks that came today who spoke, the folks that
were on the lines who spoke hundreds of people, thousands
of letters. So we really appreciate everybody who came out
today and spent their time with us. And because your
(19:49):
your voices were hurt, it was heard. So like I said,
I just I'm in shock as much as you are
or anybody else. This is this is significant, This is
very significant. And react she pulled it off for seventeen
million people.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Seventeen million people, and it would cost every family thousands
of dollars when it was time to replace their water
heater or their furnace, it was gonna be thousands of dollars,
not just for the appliances themselves, but in a lot
of cases the wiring and the piping. Talk about that.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Yeah, so you know it could it could be tens
of thousands of dollars. I mean, it's not just simply
replacing the appliance itself. It's actually because in order for
you to put in an electric you would have to
put in electric wiring, and most homes that are built,
you know, thirty forty fifty years ago, are not equipped
for that. So you're really going to have to almost
(20:42):
tear out your house, all the walls and everything. And
now you have apartment complexes. Those wires don't go up
straight and down, it's all over. It's it's different pattern everything.
So you're talking to significant costs, tens of thousands of dollars.
And this is not gonna be fair because ultimately it's
the renters and the homeowners he's gonna pay for it.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
And this is an unelected board, and I know you're
on it, and it just seems that they up until
this moment, they've never cared about the damage that do
to people's finances, to their lives. I mean, we've got
the same thing with the excessive regulation out of the
California Resources Board. We got another sixty five cent increase
(21:26):
coming maybe next month, another gas tax. I mean, I
don't know if you heard. We had somebody calling our
show from New Orleans. He's paying two thirty seven a gallon,
and a lot of people in California are paying over
five dollars. And then on top of this the thousands,
tens of thousands of dollars to get a new water
heater and a new furnace.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I mean, this is torture here.
Speaker 16 (21:47):
It is.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I mean, well, the members here, some of us are
elected and we represent our respective agency. I represent the
County Board of Supervisor in Orange County. You have city
council members who are elected by the respective cities and
they are representing their you know, regent areas. Uh, there
are a few members on there that are not elected.
(22:09):
They are appointed by either the governor, the speaker or
the Senate pro tempt.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Right, the voters don't elect you to the air resource,
to this air quality management district. It's just that the
supervisors get it. You're all appointed right by your bye,
by the body that you are representing. Yes, well, why
do you think they changed their minds? You had had
(22:34):
at least three Democrats I was told that slipped. I mean,
did did they really answer their phones, read their emails,
talk to people and they were really affected?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
It definitely looks like it. I mean, you know, you
can hear from the members who spoke today, They vetted it,
they heard the concerns from their their constituents, and it
really comes down to is affordability, affordability and overt relation.
You can hear that repeated by several members. We really
(23:05):
need to at the end of the day, you know,
look at what can drive the market. It has to
be market driven new technology and not just a new
mandate and new taxes. And so you they heard it,
They heard it, So that's why you know they're able
to move forward and actually a solid seven five no.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, Now are they going to come back with it
in a few months and try to sneak it through
without much notice? Because this one caught a lot of
people by surprise. I didn't even hear about it until
this week.
Speaker 18 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Well, you know they did vote it to have it
consider to the committee to re look at it. But
you know, we'll find out what that is. It's this
process has taken them two years to get to where
we are today, and we'll see where it goes from here.
All right, Right now, it's a solid seven.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
No, okay, So would you let us know the next
time it rears its head again where it goes through
a committee and somebody decides, hey, let's put this up
for a vault vote and have another hearing. Just let
us know right away so we can we can mobilize quickly,
because this was like a last minute hail Mary operation.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Absolutely, because I mean, honestly, in my opinion, we need
to move forward with other solutions and issues that face
to AQD. This is not one of them.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, I'm just I never I think most people said,
what do you mean my water heater, my heating system,
my furnace. Really yep, that's the biggest problem.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
In the world.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Huh yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
All right, well, all right, thank you very much, Janet,
thank you for your work and your part in beating
this back. It's great news, surprising news. All right, thanks
Janet Win. She's a member, she's Orange County Board of Supervisors.
And you know they get to place somebody on this
at least one person on this South Coast Air Quality
(24:59):
Management District. These agencies are dangerous. There's a lot of
these agencies. There's no direct election. Uh, they're not covered,
not publicized. This shows you what an awful, awful media
system that we have here. You don't find this on
any of the television stations, you know, any of the
(25:19):
major newspapers, right, It just it just doesn't exist. I
think we found out because John Fleischman started writing about it,
and we found out less than a week ago. And
he has his his political blog flash Report dot org.
So does it matter dot com. It's a substack, and
we're getting more and more information from small newspapers like
(25:44):
the Westside Current, for example, in Sacramento, there's a there's
Californiaglobe dot Comcolmatters dot com. You know, if you're not
really plugged in, you wouldn't recognize these names. But all
the traditional outlets, including all the television stations and you know,
all radio outside of KFI doesn't cover this. LA Times
(26:05):
obviously doesn't cover it. Southern California News Group doesn't cover it,
The Arnge County Register, the Ladly News. I mean, those
papers have been hollowed out. They got about you know,
they got about six people and three flies in the
newsroom if they even have a newsroom, and so getting
information and so there's a lot of stuff coming through
the legislature, a lot of stuff coming through city council
or these weirdo boards. That's really damaging. And I'm telling you,
(26:29):
in a month, you are not going to believe the
price of gas. It's coming and there should be a vicious, vicious,
nasty reaction to the Democrats in the Assembly and the
State Senate and Gavin Newsom. And they've taken a lot
of that gas tax money and they've blown it on that.
(26:49):
All the high speed rail corruption, all that theft, all
those felonies that have been committed by all the people
connected to high speed rail and Newistance is a part
of the scam too. And one day, one day, he's
got to get his come ups. He just can't live
the rest of his life and pretend nothing's happening here.
Those are bad things happening, all right. I want justice,
(27:11):
no justice, no peace. I'm ready to riot by myself.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I have fun. Good to know you're right behind me. Okay,
I'll be there. You can have your bullhorn. You're gonna
riot with me?
Speaker 11 (27:22):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
All right, Debah, I'd like to see you in a riot.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Uh, I'll wet here.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, the woman.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Who let the Palisades burn while she was partying in Africa.
She weighed in on ICE doing its federal duty and
arresting illegal aliens today in downtown LA. Woman who defunded
the fire department, who's defunding the police department. Here's what
she had to say about law enforcement doing its job.
(28:02):
Bass sent out our statement saying, this morning, we received
reports of federal immigration enforcement actions and multiple locations in
Los Angeles. As mayor of a proud city of immigrants
who contribute to our city in so many ways, I'm
deeply angered by what has taken place. Remember she described
it as enforcement. This is law enforcement, Karen. These tactics
(28:26):
so terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of
safety in our city.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Total nonsense.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
My office is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations.
We will not stand for this. You don't have a choice.
Federal law wins, ICE winds. You can't do anything about it.
You can't stop it. You can let the palace sades
burn that you did. You can go to Africa during
an emergency. You did that. You can defund the fire
(28:54):
department and the police department, you did that. But you
can't stop ICE from reporting illegal aliens. That's federal law.
You have no vote, no say fuddy idiot. All right,
let's do the final round of the moistline.
Speaker 15 (29:11):
And Sean, thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
I'm so excited to hear from you to baptime.
Speaker 18 (29:16):
Those damn Democrats voting to keep the sixty five cent
guess tax. Why in the hell are we waiting until
next year to vote these people out of office? Why
don't they recall them now, get there, just out of
the legislature and replace them with normal, more rational people.
I can't believe they didn't vote that tax down.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I just can't believe that those Demorats have to go.
Speaker 16 (29:41):
They just have to go.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
We've got to get rid of these demoats.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Come on, Californians, wake up, Wake up, John.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I think you're forgetting Karen vass Is in a very
rarefied air.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
One other person had eleven lawyers.
Speaker 17 (29:54):
Oh Jay, The reason they call them unhowed and not
homeless because they are you the money on everybody illegals,
They're on house drug addicts, they're own house alcoholic's, on
house pieces an house criminals on housed Do they even
have a train that can go high speed?
Speaker 14 (30:15):
Or is it going to be just a metro linked
train that goes sixty miles an hour from what I understand,
and takes a special train to do two hundred.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Miles an hour.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
They don't even have it, So where's the train?
Speaker 8 (30:28):
I need trains?
Speaker 16 (30:29):
So our electric grid can barely handle the load we have.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Now they want.
Speaker 16 (30:34):
Everyone to drive electric cars, and now they also want
all of our water heaters and air heaters to be electric.
These guys are nuts. So the state wants to spend
seven hundred thousand dollars to do an economic feasibility study
of a train going from Bakersfield to Mersette. Okay, so
let's say this study comes back and says it's not feasible.
(30:56):
Are they're going to stop building? I think we all
know the answer.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Wow, Trump and Musk no longer speaking, didn't see that coming.
Speaker 20 (31:04):
The definition of a pullet burrow is the principal policy
committee of a communist party. Sounds a little bit like
our California cardboard. We're pretty much communists already.
Speaker 21 (31:14):
I don't believe this whole dispute between Elon and Trump.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Something's up. These guys are not playing.
Speaker 15 (31:20):
Checkers, they're playing chess.
Speaker 21 (31:22):
I don't know what the plan is, and maybe they
have to distance themselves from each other. But I don't
believe this whole facade. Something's up, it's made up, fake news.
They are not fighting with each other about.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
The train and the usefulness of the train.
Speaker 19 (31:35):
Well, that's why the high gas prices are going to
be put in place and makes the train more desirable.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
With the high gas prices, it's pretty obvious that this
train boondoggle was always a money laundering scheme by newsom.
Speaker 18 (31:50):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Pretty obvious it's a big money laundering scheme.
Speaker 19 (31:55):
I've been listening to Elon Musk and Trump, and I
think this is a set it up. I think this
is them helping Must get his company and everything back.
I think it's a fake fight so people will be
fooled and all the lambs will start buying tuslas and everything.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Again.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Holy man, that's a great song.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Everything about it is great and it's totally true.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Good job, Oh my goodness, this bad Gavin song needs
to go to number one.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We got to tell you that again Monday. Thanks for
sharing the Bad Gavin. Ooh, bad Gavin.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
That is awesome, man.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
We love it and Redlands love that bad Gavin.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
Please hang up, goodbye?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
All right, bad Gavin, bring it back on Monday. You
haven't heard it, well, you could listen to yesterday's podcast. Actually,
you ought to definitely listen to the podcast of this
show today because it was an exciting day between immigration
raids happening while we were on the air here and
the vote down of the South Coast air Quality Management
(33:00):
District proposal. They voted their own proposal down, and that
was to force us to have electric water heaters and
electric furnaces. So that was so if you want to
relive both of those dramas in real time, you go
to the podcast and enjoy it. This weekend. Three victories
this week for us. Yeah, on the iHeartRadio app we
had three victories. High speed rail, Oh that's right, yeah,
(33:21):
Immigration raids, yes, and now the gas powered applies.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
Man.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Exhausted so much. We did so much work and it's
all turning out good. All of a sudden. Conway's up next,
He's back? Is that true? Is that real?
Speaker 4 (33:35):
All?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Right?
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Conway off ahead of the Sick, the sick Ward and
we got Krozier 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 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We have Laura Ingall in a minute reporting from New
York and the Diddy trial. But first John Fleischmann coming on.
So does Itmatter? Dot Com is his website. He's had
the Flash Report for years and this is about the
(00:22):
South Coast Air Quality Management District, who is voting on
a proposal today that would have forced you eventually to
get an electric water heater and an electric furnace. Gas
water heaters and gas furnaces would be disallowed in the future.
And we have had a big vote, and John's got
(00:43):
the results.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
As I am very happy to report that we actually
defeated the measure. Well, the vote was the vote was
five in favor, it was seven against, and in doing so,
that means that three Democrats crossed over and voted with
the four Republicans. Don't worry, I'm going to give you
everybody's name. I understand we're in a hurry, but it
(01:07):
was very contentious, but it was clear that the combined
effect of all of the people emailing in, including thousands
from this show. The US Attorney Billy is Saley sending
that letter. I'm sure they were all wondering could they
get sued Personally, I don't even know what was going
through their mind. So at the end of the day,
I'm just going to really quickly tell you the people
that voted yes were Vanessa Delgado, the chair, Mike boy
(01:31):
I can't pronounce Chaciati.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
It's Italian.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
I'm going to get in trouble.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
He voted yes.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Polly Mitchell of course voted yes. Veronica Padilla Campos voted yes.
A Nitha Ramond voted yes but then voting no. Republican
Kurt Hagman, Democrat Patricia lof Dawson, the mayor of Riverside.
Voting no was Republican Larry McCallen, Republican county supervisor from
Orange County, Janet Wyn who was on your show earlier.
(01:58):
Brenda Almos voted no, and Manny Perez voted on Riverside
County Supervisors. So this was I mean, you could see
the chair was and and advice you that we're trying
to figure out what can you do a compromise. Can
we do something else, maybe we can get part of
the tax. But at the end of the day. You know,
they've never huge hashed out policy and called. So this
(02:19):
is a big everybody listening to this show should be.
I mean, we don't get victories in California and we
just got one. The chair even said if this comes back,
it's probably not going to be this year. And I'm
sure they'll try to bring it back. But everyone on
this show that emailed in, they called, you know, should
be proud of themselves and it means we got to
keep doing this because it matters. But this is a
(02:42):
big win.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
We got to take the win.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
John, thank you for your coverage. I really appreciate it.
And we'll talk again on Monday and we're going to
have one of the board members on a Janet Win
at three thirty five. First, now let's go to New
York a busy day. This was Laura Ingele reporting for
News Nation on the Didty trial. And Laura also has
(03:05):
a new YouTube channel with a lot of behind the
scenes stuff for the true crime story she does and
the court stories she covers.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
The Ingle edit on YouTube. The Ingle Edit.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Laura tell us what went on in the Didty trial today?
We had another ex girlfriend testify.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
Well, yes, and it's a tough segue from your last reporter,
but I don't try getting there talking about baby oil
and piercings and hotel nights and what we have to
get into. So what we heard from today we had Jane.
It's a pseudonym, the woman who is testifying as an
alleged victim, one of the four victims we're supposed to
(03:43):
hear from in this trial. And she is the most
recent girlfriend of Sean Calm. She was still with him
when he was arrested. And in fact, one of the
things we learned today was that Shawn Colms is still
paying her what sounds to be very high rent. Are
they still together? Not sure, doesn't sound like it, but
(04:03):
he's still paying her rent, and that's something we hope
to learn maybe when we continue testimony on Monday. She
is not done with direct So what we learned today
from Jane, a beautiful woman up on the stand, tearful
throughout the entire day, talking about you know, just like
Cassie Ventura, his other ex girlfriend, saying that she loved him,
(04:26):
she just wanted to be with him. But it really
sounds like this is kind of a prerequisite sort of thing.
These freak offs in order to be with him, and
if you didn't want to do the freak offs, you
probably weren't going to get any alone time and.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
He was going to move on.
Speaker 7 (04:38):
So if you wanted to be his girlfriend, he had
to do. You know, this was she called them hotel
night and one of I think one of the saddest
parts of her testimony today is true, was her talking
about how, you know, it was supposed to be just
maybe this one time where she we had a male
escort come into a hotel room and she fulfilled his
(04:59):
sexual fan the season, having sex with other men while
he watched, and she thought she would be done, but
she said to the jury, you know, this basically opened
a Pandora's box, because once we started, it was that's
what it was from then on. And one of the
stories she told was that this one time he said,
let's go to Miami for your birthday and she goes, oh,
you know, thank god, let's just go to Miami for
(05:20):
my birthday. That sounds so nice. They go to Miami,
they have a beautiful time. He takes her to Nobuo,
they have a great dinner, and then he says to
her over dinner, I can't wait to find out what
the entertainment is going to be tonight, and that usually
meant you know who who is the man going to be?
And she she said that she gulped and she got
a sinking feeling in her stomach and in her throat,
and she knew what it meant. She got back to
(05:42):
the hotel, he gave her a piece of jewelry for
her birthday, and then incomes a man, and she knew
that she had to perform. So it was a total
bait and switch for her. And she was crying throughout
that testimony. And I think where we're going with this
John into the sex trafficking part is you know, she
flew to Miami to have sex with men that she
didn't though she was going to have sex with, and
then there were a lot of men as it turned
(06:04):
out throughout that episode.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
So that's the crime there, right right.
Speaker 7 (06:08):
Well, that's what they're you know, I think laying the
brickwork on the path to getting there. And a lot
of people have said throughout all of this, you know,
they're not proving their case. They're talking about baby oil.
Speaker 5 (06:18):
But remember it.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
I just have to keep saying it. It's an eight
week trial and these victims and these people. And I
told you before it reminds me of the Michael Jackson
trial when we were covering it together, you and I
that we heard from a lot of these insiders. So
we're hearing all the inner workings of what was going
on behind closed doors, and some of those doors were
kicked down, as we heard Jane testify about today that
(06:40):
when she found out that she that Sean Colmebs might
have been seeing somebody else, she said, hey, are you
seeing somebody else?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
He became enraged.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
He started chasing her around whatever hotel or apartment they
were in, kicking down doors, ended up beating her, choking her,
punching or giving her a black eye, and then said
go put some makeup on. That we're calling another male
squirt and get ready.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
And she was in physical pain some of the time.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
I've read, yes, and she described that and a lot
of physical pain sometimes. There was one hotel night that
she said she became ill. And she said she was sober,
and she did talk about a lot of drug use
and that drugs were introduced to her through Combs and
through his associates, and she said one night she got
really sick and he said, go ahead and go throw up.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
It'll make you feel better. You've got to finish stromp.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
But she'd get hurt sometimes during these freak ofths.
Speaker 7 (07:33):
She you know, well, I talked about the time that
he beat her up after she hit in a bathroom,
and it did sound like sometimes we're violent. We learned
that he paid for he's paying for her rent and
he said that she was asked, didn't pay for anything else?
She said, yes, my teeth.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Why why?
Speaker 7 (07:51):
Because he didn't like Shawancombs didn't like the way her teeth.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Looked, and he said, get him fixed, got herveners.
Speaker 7 (07:57):
So we're hearing, like I said, all the inner workings
of their relationship, and we're going to continue. We know
that she's going to, you know, get cross examined by
the defense team, and what that will bring we don't know.
But I also want to mention, in case you didn't
touch on it yesterday, that Shawn Colmbs and his defense
team got in trouble by the judge because Colmbs was
seen nodding vigorously during some of the cross examination of
(08:20):
another woman that was on the stand, and he was
also trying to make eyes and eye contact with some
of the jury members, and the judge called lunch, got
the jury out of the room and said, next time
you do that, what could happen is you could be
removed from the entirety of the rest of the trial,
which we are only apparently halfway through. And that would
be huge if Shawn Combs wasn't sitting there because he
(08:42):
has a right to face the people who are accusing him.
So he's been apparently this was the third time that
he has done that, where he's been trying to make
eye contact and when he hears something that he.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Likes coming from a witness.
Speaker 7 (08:53):
Although uh huh, like nodding really hard and trying to
trying to make contact eye contact with during them, is
trying to you know, become friends with the friendly listen.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Has he been trying to intimidate them in any way?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Do we know?
Speaker 8 (09:06):
Well?
Speaker 7 (09:06):
And that's what the judge said. It's not just you know,
trying to make eye contacts with them. Yes, absolutely, intimidation
and just kind of trying to get their attention. I
mean a lot of different things. One of them, remember
there was that story. The reason why he's still locked up,
the reason why he's not out on Bill is because
(09:26):
he was allegedly trying to have witness camper and going
into the he was trying apparently to contact people who
are willing to testify, and because of that behavior, he
remains locked up during this trial.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Wow, that's heavy stuff. Laura, thank you very much for
coming on. I know your Basic News Nation. She's one
of their top correspondents and she has a YouTube channel
called the Ingle Edit with a lot of behind the
scenes footage of the true crime story she covers and
the court trials she covers. Thanks Laura. When we we
(10:00):
come back, we got around one of the moistline. Dever's
gonna have the news and then we're gonna have Janet
Win on. She's one of the She's on the board
of the South Coast Air Quality Management District. Big shocking news.
We just found out moments ago that, you know how,
they were gonna ban you from having a gas furnace
(10:20):
or a gas powered water heater. That proposition and a
big shock lost all that ahead.
Speaker 9 (10:28):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
We won one.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Huh, the ban on gas furnaces and gas powered water
heaters not gonna happen. A lot of it due to
pressure from KFI listeners. We're gonna have more details on
that South Coast air Quality Management District. They voted down
that band seven to five, second time in the last
(10:56):
few years it's been voted down. And we're gonna have
Janet Win, one of the board members who we talked
with during a break in the meeting just after one o'clock,
and she's going to come back with us in about
ten minutes. In the meantime, the Moist Line Part one
Round one here.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Thank Sean, thanks for calling a moistline.
Speaker 10 (11:19):
I'm so excited to hear from you.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
To BAP time.
Speaker 11 (11:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Other countries, third world countries, even second world countries have
handled their homeless crisis very simply. If you go to Bogatah, Bangkok,
you go to Singapore, you go to any of these
major cities, they have high rise towers where they actually
house thousands of people that otherwise would probably be homeless
or on the street. They do provide some social services,
some medical care, some retraining, but it's an organized condition
(11:45):
that the government sets up so these people are not
meandering on the street.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
This competition where males compete in female sports, you know,
why don't they just do one better and say that
I want to go to an elementary school and compete
against entry kick.
Speaker 10 (12:01):
Hard times creates strong men.
Speaker 4 (12:03):
Strong men create good times.
Speaker 10 (12:05):
Good times create weak men.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Weak men create hard times. It's a vicious circle.
Speaker 12 (12:11):
And we are at the point of weak men creating
hard times. The mayor of Los Angeles workless maths. She's
all upset that a thousand people destroyed the city, but
yet she doesn't care about the thousands and thousands of
helpless people that are destroying the city. She wants the
rest made, but yet she did like the helpless people
(12:32):
destroyed the city.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
If you ask me, Trump should invite all the girls
from that weekend Track and Field who won.
Speaker 13 (12:39):
Or placed to the White House.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Put only the biological females.
Speaker 14 (12:44):
John's mayor is your favorite?
Speaker 15 (12:46):
Two Tom Governor Jay Brown?
Speaker 12 (12:48):
I like trains, little needle of steel and rubber when we.
Speaker 16 (12:52):
Have iron horseshoes. Stame, Gottle flashes Thame.
Speaker 17 (12:58):
Why do these legislators have to pass so many laws?
Speaker 18 (13:01):
They haven't sit back and say, hey, we don't.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Need any more laws. What is?
Speaker 15 (13:04):
They got to manage everything?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I just don't understand it.
Speaker 17 (13:07):
So every year they passed six hundred laws.
Speaker 11 (13:10):
Good lord, we're absolutely doomed.
Speaker 19 (13:13):
Don't forget, California has its own blend of gasoline, so
we've got to repeal that gasoline mandate on this blend
itself carved.
Speaker 15 (13:22):
Not just the taxes.
Speaker 11 (13:23):
So the CIA disqualifies a girl for u sportsline conduct
due to our celebrations, but they're fine with letting a
boy compete with other girls. What is it?
Speaker 10 (13:36):
I always found it very strange that the word sonic
that sounds like it starts with an F, actually starts.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
With a P.
Speaker 15 (13:43):
Seems to me, if these senators that are voting down
all of these bills for energy and lowering the cost
of gas and they can afford it and they don't
have any problem with it, that tells me they're getting
paid way too much, and they're now becoming the elite
in our state, and now we're all a little worker beef.
That's just wrong.
Speaker 13 (14:02):
Thank you, John for opposing high speed fail for the
last two decades. It's not high speed rail because there
is no rail. It's high speed fail. It's a mafia
style money laundering scheme to trick global liberals, and your
voice has been crucial in today's big win.
Speaker 14 (14:20):
What about that flamethrower guy.
Speaker 17 (14:22):
If he's illegal and if family is.
Speaker 10 (14:24):
Illegal, okay, why can't they deport the family? Why do
we have to go to the court. They're overstein their visas.
It's clear as that I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, and gasoline
is three dollars a gallon.
Speaker 14 (14:37):
Hey, John, this is Mark and New Orleans in the
French water gas over here two dollars in thirty seven
cents a gallon. Somebody's got to do something in California
to bring these prices down for y'all.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
We got the AQMD air quality Management, we got the curve.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Do we really need both?
Speaker 8 (14:55):
John, don't buy the bs about the homeless in.
Speaker 20 (14:58):
Long Beach from the fire zone.
Speaker 10 (15:02):
They are off of the Metro. Long Beach homeless went
through the roof when the.
Speaker 20 (15:06):
Metro system started kicking everybody off of the train at
the end of the night. Guess where one of the
end of the lines is Downtown Long Beach.
Speaker 10 (15:15):
Can tell somebody tell me how many of those water
bombing planes we would have been able to purchase, or
actually what size would the fleet be based all the
money that has been wasted from the trains absolutely nowhere,
with absolutely no accountability. It's absolutely ludicrous. I mean, I
can't even drive down the street without a pothole cut
(15:36):
through my fire. Somebody, please, I want to know.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Thank you for leaving your message. Please hang up goodbye.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Two thirty seven gas in New Orleans two dollars and
thirty seven cents and I paid four fifty nine this
morning on the West Side, which is the cheapest in
the neighborhood, to thirty seven.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
That guy said, right, what is wrong with you people? Why?
Speaker 3 (16:03):
And you're voted for this? This is entirely from Newsom
and the legislature. The difference between the two thirty seven
in New Orleans and the four point fifty nine plus
here in LA is entirely Newsome and the California legislature.
I just don't get it. And the guy call him
(16:24):
from Long Beach. No, we didn't believe that bs. We
were making fun of it. Of course, those aren't fire
refugees in Long Beach.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Long Beach.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
You're trying to say that people fled Pacific Palisades to
Long Beach and now they're homeless. No, the people in
the Palisades, they have the money to rent a place
they're not living in the streets. He's right, that's what
the metro system does. They did it to Santa Monica
two as soon as they expanded the metro system. The
(16:55):
last stop at the end of the night dumps dozens
of homeless people. When we come back at Janet win
and she's on the board for the South Coast Air
Quality Management District, Big win for us people here. They're
not going to force us to get a they're not
going to force us to get an electric water heater
(17:18):
or an electric furnace. We'll tell you all about it
a few minutes.
Speaker 9 (17:23):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
A six forty second round of the moist line coming
up in about ten twelve minutes.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
It was looking bleak all week.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
The South Coast Air Quality Management District South Coast AQMD,
probably an agency you've never even heard of, but they
have a lot of power over your life. Another one
of these unelected agencies. It's a cousin to the California
Air Resources Board, and the South Coast AQMD governs all
(17:57):
of Orange County and La County, Bernardino County, Riverside County,
Coachella Valley, all right, the whole region with the exclusion
of the desert, and they control the air.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
And they decided that.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Having a gas powered furnace or a gas powered water
heater releases certain elements into the air, and they don't
like it. And you're gonna have to get an electric
water heater an electric furnace, and that's going to cost
a lot more money. And they tried this a couple
of years ago and the blowback was intense. They tried
it again this week on short notice. We became aware,
(18:36):
but thousands of you contacted and you pulled off a
miracle because the proposal went down to defeat seven to five.
And about two and a half hours ago we had
Janet went on. She is an Orange County supervisor and
a member of the South Coast AQMD board, and it
(18:58):
was looking dicey. Then he's back now and she's gonna
explain what went on. It was seven to five to
turn down this proposal. Janet, how are you.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
I'm good, Thank you, John, I'm excited. Thank you. I
want to thank you and the community for engaging. I mean,
if you didn't go out there, you didn't talk to
the folks. This could not have happened. This is something
that is unheard of. This is probably the first time
in over thirty five, I mean twenty five years that
a rule, a significant rule was voted down from the
(19:28):
from a kim D. So this is extremely significant. And
this is this really comes down to, as you know,
the folks that came today who spoke, the folks that
were on the lines who spoke hundreds of people, thousands
of letters. So we really appreciate everybody who came out
today and spent their time with us. And because your
(19:49):
your voices were hurt, it was heard. So like I said,
I just I'm in shock as much as you are
or anybody else. This is this is significant, This is
very significant. And react she pulled it off for seventeen
million people.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Seventeen million people, and it would cost every family thousands
of dollars when it was time to replace their water
heater or their furnace, it was gonna be thousands of dollars,
not just for the appliances themselves, but in a lot
of cases the wiring and the piping. Talk about that.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
Yeah, so you know it could it could be tens
of thousands of dollars. I mean, it's not just simply
replacing the appliance itself. It's actually because in order for
you to put in an electric you would have to
put in electric wiring, and most homes that are built,
you know, thirty forty fifty years ago, are not equipped
for that. So you're really going to have to almost
(20:42):
tear out your house, all the walls and everything. And
now you have apartment complexes. Those wires don't go up
straight and down, it's all over. It's it's different pattern everything.
So you're talking to significant costs, tens of thousands of dollars.
And this is not gonna be fair because ultimately it's
the renters and the homeowners he's gonna pay for it.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
And this is an unelected board, and I know you're
on it, and it just seems that they up until
this moment, they've never cared about the damage that do
to people's finances, to their lives. I mean, we've got
the same thing with the excessive regulation out of the
California Resources Board. We got another sixty five cent increase
(21:26):
coming maybe next month, another gas tax. I mean, I
don't know if you heard. We had somebody calling our
show from New Orleans. He's paying two thirty seven a gallon,
and a lot of people in California are paying over
five dollars. And then on top of this the thousands,
tens of thousands of dollars to get a new water
heater and a new furnace.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
I mean, this is torture here.
Speaker 16 (21:47):
It is.
Speaker 6 (21:47):
I mean, well, the members here, some of us are
elected and we represent our respective agency. I represent the
County Board of Supervisor in Orange County. You have city
council members who are elected by the respective cities and
they are representing their you know, regent areas. Uh, there
are a few members on there that are not elected.
(22:09):
They are appointed by either the governor, the speaker or
the Senate pro tempt.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Right, the voters don't elect you to the air resource,
to this air quality management district. It's just that the
supervisors get it. You're all appointed right by your bye,
by the body that you are representing. Yes, well, why
do you think they changed their minds? You had had
(22:34):
at least three Democrats I was told that slipped. I mean,
did did they really answer their phones, read their emails,
talk to people and they were really affected?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
It definitely looks like it. I mean, you know, you
can hear from the members who spoke today, They vetted it,
they heard the concerns from their their constituents, and it
really comes down to is affordability, affordability and overt relation.
You can hear that repeated by several members. We really
(23:05):
need to at the end of the day, you know,
look at what can drive the market. It has to
be market driven new technology and not just a new
mandate and new taxes. And so you they heard it,
They heard it, So that's why you know they're able
to move forward and actually a solid seven five no.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Yeah, Now are they going to come back with it
in a few months and try to sneak it through
without much notice? Because this one caught a lot of
people by surprise. I didn't even hear about it until
this week.
Speaker 18 (23:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:38):
Well, you know they did vote it to have it
consider to the committee to re look at it. But
you know, we'll find out what that is. It's this
process has taken them two years to get to where
we are today, and we'll see where it goes from here.
All right, Right now, it's a solid seven.
Speaker 3 (23:58):
No, okay, So would you let us know the next
time it rears its head again where it goes through
a committee and somebody decides, hey, let's put this up
for a vault vote and have another hearing. Just let
us know right away so we can we can mobilize quickly,
because this was like a last minute hail Mary operation.
Speaker 6 (24:15):
Absolutely, because I mean, honestly, in my opinion, we need
to move forward with other solutions and issues that face
to AQD. This is not one of them.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Yeah, I'm just I never I think most people said,
what do you mean my water heater, my heating system,
my furnace. Really yep, that's the biggest problem.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
In the world.
Speaker 8 (24:35):
Huh yeah.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
All right, well, all right, thank you very much, Janet,
thank you for your work and your part in beating
this back. It's great news, surprising news. All right, thanks
Janet Win. She's a member, she's Orange County Board of Supervisors.
And you know they get to place somebody on this
at least one person on this South Coast Air Quality
(24:59):
Management District. These agencies are dangerous. There's a lot of
these agencies. There's no direct election. Uh, they're not covered,
not publicized. This shows you what an awful, awful media
system that we have here. You don't find this on
any of the television stations, you know, any of the
(25:19):
major newspapers, right, It just it just doesn't exist. I
think we found out because John Fleischman started writing about it,
and we found out less than a week ago. And
he has his his political blog flash Report dot org.
So does it matter dot com. It's a substack, and
we're getting more and more information from small newspapers like
(25:44):
the Westside Current, for example, in Sacramento, there's a there's
Californiaglobe dot Comcolmatters dot com. You know, if you're not
really plugged in, you wouldn't recognize these names. But all
the traditional outlets, including all the television stations and you know,
all radio outside of KFI doesn't cover this. LA Times
(26:05):
obviously doesn't cover it. Southern California News Group doesn't cover it,
The Arnge County Register, the Ladly News. I mean, those
papers have been hollowed out. They got about you know,
they got about six people and three flies in the
newsroom if they even have a newsroom, and so getting
information and so there's a lot of stuff coming through
the legislature, a lot of stuff coming through city council
or these weirdo boards. That's really damaging. And I'm telling you,
(26:29):
in a month, you are not going to believe the
price of gas. It's coming and there should be a vicious, vicious,
nasty reaction to the Democrats in the Assembly and the
State Senate and Gavin Newsom. And they've taken a lot
of that gas tax money and they've blown it on that.
(26:49):
All the high speed rail corruption, all that theft, all
those felonies that have been committed by all the people
connected to high speed rail and Newistance is a part
of the scam too. And one day, one day, he's
got to get his come ups. He just can't live
the rest of his life and pretend nothing's happening here.
Those are bad things happening, all right. I want justice,
(27:11):
no justice, no peace. I'm ready to riot by myself.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
I have fun. Good to know you're right behind me. Okay,
I'll be there. You can have your bullhorn. You're gonna
riot with me?
Speaker 11 (27:22):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
All right, Debah, I'd like to see you in a riot.
Speaker 7 (27:25):
Uh, I'll wet here.
Speaker 9 (27:29):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, the woman.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Who let the Palisades burn while she was partying in Africa.
She weighed in on ICE doing its federal duty and
arresting illegal aliens today in downtown LA. Woman who defunded
the fire department, who's defunding the police department. Here's what
she had to say about law enforcement doing its job.
(28:02):
Bass sent out our statement saying, this morning, we received
reports of federal immigration enforcement actions and multiple locations in
Los Angeles. As mayor of a proud city of immigrants
who contribute to our city in so many ways, I'm
deeply angered by what has taken place. Remember she described
it as enforcement. This is law enforcement, Karen. These tactics
(28:26):
so terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of
safety in our city.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Total nonsense.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
My office is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations.
We will not stand for this. You don't have a choice.
Federal law wins, ICE winds. You can't do anything about it.
You can't stop it. You can let the palace sades
burn that you did. You can go to Africa during
an emergency. You did that. You can defund the fire
(28:54):
department and the police department, you did that. But you
can't stop ICE from reporting illegal aliens. That's federal law.
You have no vote, no say fuddy idiot. All right,
let's do the final round of the moistline.
Speaker 15 (29:11):
And Sean, thanks for calling the moistline.
Speaker 11 (29:13):
I'm so excited to hear from you to baptime.
Speaker 18 (29:16):
Those damn Democrats voting to keep the sixty five cent
guess tax. Why in the hell are we waiting until
next year to vote these people out of office? Why
don't they recall them now, get there, just out of
the legislature and replace them with normal, more rational people.
I can't believe they didn't vote that tax down.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
I just can't believe that those Demorats have to go.
Speaker 16 (29:41):
They just have to go.
Speaker 6 (29:42):
We've got to get rid of these demoats.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
Come on, Californians, wake up, Wake up, John.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
I think you're forgetting Karen vass Is in a very
rarefied air.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
One other person had eleven lawyers.
Speaker 17 (29:54):
Oh Jay, The reason they call them unhowed and not
homeless because they are you the money on everybody illegals,
They're on house drug addicts, they're own house alcoholic's, on
house pieces an house criminals on housed Do they even
have a train that can go high speed?
Speaker 14 (30:15):
Or is it going to be just a metro linked
train that goes sixty miles an hour from what I understand,
and takes a special train to do two hundred.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Miles an hour.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
They don't even have it, So where's the train?
Speaker 8 (30:28):
I need trains?
Speaker 16 (30:29):
So our electric grid can barely handle the load we have.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Now they want.
Speaker 16 (30:34):
Everyone to drive electric cars, and now they also want
all of our water heaters and air heaters to be electric.
These guys are nuts. So the state wants to spend
seven hundred thousand dollars to do an economic feasibility study
of a train going from Bakersfield to Mersette. Okay, so
let's say this study comes back and says it's not feasible.
(30:56):
Are they're going to stop building? I think we all
know the answer.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Wow, Trump and Musk no longer speaking, didn't see that coming.
Speaker 20 (31:04):
The definition of a pullet burrow is the principal policy
committee of a communist party. Sounds a little bit like
our California cardboard. We're pretty much communists already.
Speaker 21 (31:14):
I don't believe this whole dispute between Elon and Trump.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Something's up. These guys are not playing.
Speaker 15 (31:20):
Checkers, they're playing chess.
Speaker 21 (31:22):
I don't know what the plan is, and maybe they
have to distance themselves from each other. But I don't
believe this whole facade. Something's up, it's made up, fake news.
They are not fighting with each other about.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
The train and the usefulness of the train.
Speaker 19 (31:35):
Well, that's why the high gas prices are going to
be put in place and makes the train more desirable.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
With the high gas prices, it's pretty obvious that this
train boondoggle was always a money laundering scheme by newsom.
Speaker 18 (31:50):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 7 (31:51):
Pretty obvious it's a big money laundering scheme.
Speaker 19 (31:55):
I've been listening to Elon Musk and Trump, and I
think this is a set it up. I think this
is them helping Must get his company and everything back.
I think it's a fake fight so people will be
fooled and all the lambs will start buying tuslas and everything.
Speaker 6 (32:11):
Again.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
Holy man, that's a great song.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Everything about it is great and it's totally true.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
Good job, Oh my goodness, this bad Gavin song needs
to go to number one.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
We got to tell you that again Monday. Thanks for
sharing the Bad Gavin. Ooh, bad Gavin.
Speaker 11 (32:29):
That is awesome, man.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
We love it and Redlands love that bad Gavin.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
Thank you for leaving your message.
Speaker 15 (32:36):
Please hang up, goodbye?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
All right, bad Gavin, bring it back on Monday. You
haven't heard it, well, you could listen to yesterday's podcast. Actually,
you ought to definitely listen to the podcast of this
show today because it was an exciting day between immigration
raids happening while we were on the air here and
the vote down of the South Coast air Quality Management
(33:00):
District proposal. They voted their own proposal down, and that
was to force us to have electric water heaters and
electric furnaces. So that was so if you want to
relive both of those dramas in real time, you go
to the podcast and enjoy it. This weekend. Three victories
this week for us. Yeah, on the iHeartRadio app we
had three victories. High speed rail, Oh that's right, yeah,
(33:21):
Immigration raids, yes, and now the gas powered applies.
Speaker 10 (33:24):
Man.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
You know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Exhausted so much. We did so much work and it's
all turning out good. All of a sudden. Conway's up next,
