Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty. You're listening to the John
Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app. We are on every
day from one until four o'clock, and then if you
miss anything, you go to the iHeart app after four
o'clock and you download the podcast John Cobelt Show on demand,
same as the radio show, so you can listen to
(00:20):
the show any anytime, day or night continuously. All right, now,
this is highly entertaining. Our narcissistic sociopath of a governor,
Gavin Newsom. It's fascinating to watch him squirm and scramble
because he has spent almost seven years as governor in
(00:42):
California screwing up everything you could get his hands on.
He screwed the oil and gas industry up so bad
that we're paying four point fifty a gallon, and there
are let me look at the the prices again in
this country. So we're paying four point fifty a gallon
(01:05):
for gas, and in Oklahoma they're paying two sixty seven
a gallon, two sixty seven. In Mississippi it's two sixty eight. Texas.
He's always bagging on Texas to seventy five a gallon.
Not only do we have extremely high gas prices. Our
(01:28):
electricity prices are double the national average double And if
you count it up, there's twenty two states, excuse me,
twenty two states that pay less than three dollars a gallon,
and there's about forty four states that pay three fifty
(01:51):
or less. So most of the country, well half the
country is paying under three dollars and over eighty percent
of the country's paying under three fifty. And we're at
four fifty and it's gonna go much higher because Newsom's
policies has led to two more refineries, saying look close,
(02:15):
and then we're going to be down to six major
refineries in the state. We used to have over forty
twenty five years ago, we had over twenty. But his
assault with taxes and regulations has been so relentless. He's
destroyed the oil industry. And now he's running for president
(02:38):
and he's he's going to have five or six dollars
gas hanging around his neck. Imagine what his Democratic opponents
are going to do to him. You're gonna have have
socialists running against him who are going to say, Gavin,
gas prices aren't nearly as high in my socialist state
(02:58):
as yours, and so he's panicking because us. He's predicting
maybe eight dollars a gallon Michael Miche the professor there.
So now he's desperately trying to find a buyer for
one of the refineries that's going to close, and he's
trying to get a bill passed that would open up
(03:19):
Current County Bakersfield to significantly more oil drilling downe a
total one eighty. He used to say just awful, disgusting
things about the oil industry. And you gotta think it's like,
what kind of a bozo? What kind of a bozo
tries to destroy the energy supply of the largest state
(03:42):
in the Union without having a replacement, never built an
electrical grid, there's no charging stations for the electric cars.
There are very few cars that anybody likes. He closed
down nuclear facilities, he closed down natural gas facilities. He
left us with wind and solar, and the price has
(04:09):
god sky high. We paid nut double now for electricity, Like,
who would do this? Why would you want him as president?
You know how bad it's gotten. We are now drilling
more oil in the Amazon Rainforest than we are here
(04:31):
in California. The Amazon Rainforest environmentalists have demanded that Newsom
cut shutdown oil production here, and so now we're importing
oil from Brazil. And according to Hector Barajas, who writes
in californiaglobe dot com, California now imports more oil from
(04:56):
the Amazon rainforest than it produces at home. The oil
that California imports comes from countries where environmental protections are
weak or non existent, where drilling destroys ecosystems and displaces communities,
and where spills are rarely cleaned up. And you have
all the idiot environmentalists for years been congratulating themselves as
(05:20):
we're making an impact on the climate crisis. We're making
an impact on cleaning up the environment. No, and the
oil as bras rights that we import from these nations.
These are nations that execute gay people, They deny women
(05:41):
basic rights. We pay twenty five billion dollars a year
to foreign countries now instead of keeping that twenty five
billion here and paying our own workers. Because the jobs
in the oil industry are really good, and that's what
he wrote this column. In the oil industry, even if
(06:04):
you only have a high school diploma, even if you've
gone to jail, you'll earn one hundred and twenty three
thousand dollars a year with benefits one hundred and twenty
three thousand a year. And he wrote about how all
these stupid lying environmentalists, climate fanatics, Gavin Newsom, they said, well,
(06:26):
you know there's going to be a we're going to
transition to other jobs. And he asked the question that
nobody in the media ever asks, what jobs? Where are they?
And he writes, show us the postings, show us the
career ladders, show us the benefits and the retirement plans.
If any exists, they're few and far between. And that's
(06:48):
just it. It was just all cheap, lying rhetoric. There's
no jobs to transition you to something else. You're a
guy with a high school diploma. You can make one
hundred and twenty three thousand dollars a year to feed
your family, but working really hard out in the oil fields,
and they want to take your job away and give
(07:08):
it to people in Brazil who are ruining the rainforest.
Good lord, is Newsome destructive? Newsom's policies are actually they're
actually ruining the Amazon rainforest. I didn't know this, So
now he's scrambling around he's got. Some of his fellow
(07:33):
Democrats is a guy named Henry Stern. This guy's a
joke from Calabasas. Five years ago he was trying to
keep all our oil in the ground. As stupid as that.
You know, we used the second most oil of any
state in the Union, and our oil use is the
(07:58):
same as it was ten years ago. There's some said
zero impact at reducing the amount of oil and gas used.
It's now imported, so it's much more expensive from from
a country that is destroying the rainforest and from other
countries that throw gay people off their roofs and kill them.
(08:21):
But Henry Stern, this genius by people in Calabasses vote
for him. Well, we all need to kind of kind
of evolve, kind of evolve. Maybe that's just a lesson
on climate. There's not really a purity test on this.
It's not like civil rights.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It's only the modern ecotomy. Henry, what were we going
to use since you closed the natural gas plants, the
nuclear plants, the gas refineries, you stop drilling for oil,
what were we going to do? Run on coc and sprite?
(09:03):
I mean, it's incredibly colossally, preposterously stupid and That's that's
what you get from a narcissistic sociopath who only now
is changing the pot. See what he was trying to do.
He started these policies when he was getting recalled and
he wanted to suck up to those more on progressive
voters that populate this state. And now that he wants
(09:29):
to run for national office, the presidency, well you know
we could do this transition and also continue to use
oil and gas to service the Oh my god, he
is such a loser. He is such a stoop, Such
a stoop. More coming up.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock and
you could follow John Cobelt Radio on social media at
John Coblt Radio. We're heading towards thirty five thousand. Kamala Harris.
You know her husband is Doug Amhoff. There's an attorney
here in LA and you remember Doug Amhoff. He was
(10:20):
the guy who found out he'd run off on his
first wife to go bunk the nanny. Wanted to play
bunk the nanny, and then later on after that marriage
busted up, he was scene smacking one of his new
girlfriends around in Washington, d C. Slapping her in the
(10:43):
face really hard, spinning her around. And then so after
running off with the nanny briefly and smacking another woman around,
he finds true love with Kamala Harris. But you know
when a dad acts like that, he leaves the collateral
(11:06):
damage behind, and it looks like one piece of collateral
damage is his daughter, Ella m Hoff. Ella m Hoff
is a left wing activist type oh god, twenty six
years old, and she's she's making these whiny TikTok videos
(11:28):
and in this video you're going to hear her talk
about her struggle with climate anxiety.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I feel discussed at what's going on in the world
around the genocide, see loss of rights, the loss of healthcare,
the just general fear that everyone has surrounding affordability, their lives,
their livelihood, like.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Every day, it's just it so big. I think everything
with the environment is really getting to me, and it
is one. I experience a lot of climate anxiety, like
a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Of us do.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
It's not funny, it's just like it's one of those things.
It's not funny, but it's very neat, just like nervous
laugh about.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It because it's scary.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
It is scary things are happening, and like, what are
what besides the small things we can do and pushing
for change and fighting and protesting, And it's really hard
not to sit in those moments where it just feels
so heavy.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Anxiety from climate change. She can't even walk outside. Everywhere
you go, there's climate out there. She walks outside just oh,
it's so hot today, it's hot. What's happening? We're all
gonna die? Wow? She is some some damaged bacon there.
(13:10):
That's uh, that's something else a lot. It sounds like
a lot of fun. Would you want to be at
a date with her while she's yeah, imagine you're imagine
your ear at a restaurant and you've just met her
and you're having a date and and this is her
play plate again, listen to this.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I feel discussed at what's going on in the world
around the genocide, see loss of rights, the loss of healthcare,
the just general fear that everyone has surrounding affordability their lives.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It's stop. Stop, Oh my god. They're all like that too,
this whole generation of whiny people. Oh everything is so terrible.
Oh I can't can't even go outside. I see the sun,
I realize it's hot, and I realize I'm gonna die
in the heat. Oh wow, good job, Doug. She also
(14:13):
sounds stone like her stepmother. I think she's a vegan.
Of course she is. Maybe she may be lacking some
protein or energy. Yeah, don't tell Debrah said that. Yeah,
she needs she needs some vitamins, she needs something out.
The pace is so slow. It's you know, I'm worried
about people's healthcare. It's twenty six years old. Where's the vibrancy,
(14:37):
where's the life? I mean, there's people in nursing homes
that have more energy than this. Wow, I'm guessing. I
don't know. I mean, no way to know this, but
I think people after you get stoned, don't put out
TikTok videos, especially if you're well known. Wow, you know
(15:00):
Nanny was worth it. Of course, she sentenced to spend
the rest of the rest of her life having to
talk to Kamal as the stepmother. Even Conna isn't that
much of a downer this girl. That's really ridiculous, all
right when we come back. This really this really puzzles me.
(15:25):
You know, I've noticed this all my life. I remember
as a kid seeing how badly Vietnam veterans retreated after
they had come home from the war. Uh and and
I didn't understand how we are such a raw, raw
nation for military service. And at the same time when
(15:48):
when guys come back, well, it's you know, the current
generation is that's some of the homeless. You know, they're
left to die in the streets with the with their addictions.
And and the VA is always a disaster. It's never fixed.
Even Trump hasn't fixed it. And firefighters too after the fire,
(16:11):
and people were praising the firemen themselves, even though fire
management and Karen Bass it's so horribly tragically screwed up.
Firefighters are out there trying to do what they can.
But do you know, we send out those firefighters and
this happened in the Palisades. We send them out and
(16:33):
they're not wearing masks, they're not allowed to wear masks.
And now seven months later they have all kinds of horrible,
horrible ailments, life threatening. It's pretty shocking. They're already developing cancers,
(16:57):
and they're already developing advanced lung issues because they inhaled
so much toxic smoke, and the Fire Service won't let
them wear a mask. Tell you when we come back.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We're on every day from one until four o'clock, and
then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand on
the iHeart app. I cannot believe the story I found yesterday.
It was in the New York Times, their Sunday edition,
very very long story, and I was just you would
think this particular problem would have been dealt with decades ago.
(17:40):
But among the victims of Karen Bass's gross negligence and
not preparing the Palisades and Alta Dina for the incoming
fire winds, the firestorm, there's a lot of victims of
her in competent. It's some of them are the firefighters.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
I'm going to read you an opening paragraph here in
the New York Times, Hannah Dryer, the smoke from the
wildfires that burned through Los Angeles smelled like plastic and
was so thick and hid the ocean. We're talking about
the palisadesphere. Firefighters who responded developed instant migraines, coughed up
(18:27):
black goo and dropped to their knees vomiting in dizzy.
This is uh, this is the first wave of firefighters
because there's so many toxic materials that burn inside a
house or business. And I guess everybody in the West
(18:50):
Side was bringing this to some extent during that time.
But the firefighters were poffing up black goo. I don't
know what that is. This is why it is so
horrific and horrendous that Karen Bass didn't follow the fire
warnings from the National Weather Service to try to mitigate
(19:12):
what was about to happen. Here's a guy US Fire
Service crew member. He's thirty three, Fernando Allendi. He was
one of the first to show up and one of
the first to hit the ground coughing up the black go.
(19:32):
But in June, while fighting another fire, he couldn't breathe
talking him to the hospital. He's got blood clots in
his lungs and he's got some kind of growths, a
growth pressing on his heart, and he was diagnosed with
an aggressive cancer, non Hodgkin lymphoma, which normally affects older people.
(19:55):
And here's some other victims of the Bass fire. Some
struggle to walk up a flight of stairs after many
seasons spent in smoke. Others have become permanently disabled after
breathing in concentrated plumes of ash, fungus or poison oak. Oh,
(20:19):
my god, burning fungus. You breathe that in. They're getting
cancer in their twenties, heart disease in their thirties, and
they need lung transplants in their forties. Because Forest Service
firefighters don't wear masks. They're not allowed to. You believe this,
(20:46):
So now if you go online, workers are begging for
money for their chemotherapy and radiation. And these are young guys.
And then later on the messages are updated with death announcements.
In funeral details is a thirty two year old with
terminal brain cancer, thirty seven year old small cell carcinoma,
(21:09):
twenty seven year old lung tumors, and he died from
the cancer and his family wish he'd been steered into
other work. Service's own researchers have warned for years about
(21:29):
the effects of the smoke, but they don't use The
Far Service will not send crews with masks. In fact,
it's prohibited. They have fought against giving firefighters masks. They
don't even mention the long term damage from smoke exposure.
(21:53):
You cannot wear masks on the front line, even if
you want to. Now they wear them in Canada, Greece
and Australia. They block ninety nine percent of the toxic particles.
But the fire service that said the risk is too
great that the firefighters would overheat. Well, overheating is not
(22:15):
nearly as bad as coughing up black goo out of
your cancerous lungs. And then they don't want to pay
for it. They're already underfunded and understaffed, and they'd have
to have more breaks or having sleeping hotels, and whoa.
They don't want to admit how bad the smoke is
(22:37):
because then they're going to have to treat these people simply.
I don't understand. We spend trillions of dollars a year.
These fires go on for months. I didn't know this.
Here's a guy who developed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Zebela Herbert.
(23:00):
He developed it in his late thirties. It coughs for
weeks at a time. He wakes up in the middle
of of gasp gasping for air. He's now, you know,
driving an uber. Wow, we have forty thousand people in
(23:22):
this country, mostly guys who take on this work. But
you're never told about the risks. And sometimes they start
right out of high school at fifteen dollars an hour,
five days of training. Here's a firefighter from Wyoming, Darren Clifford,
kept coughing up blood and landing in the hospital with
pneumonia pulmonary embolisms. Those are lung blood clots. And they
(23:48):
told him you got to give up firefighting, but he said,
I need the money. Then the doctor said, well, too
much of your lung tissue died. You needed lung transplant.
Here's a guy who's thirty years old when a patch
of poison oak started burning and it scardus lung so
badly that he had to retire. It's just and it
(24:15):
just goes on and on with these things. And if
they wore the masks and gave them breaks and treated
him humanely, and maybe if the politicians cleared all the
brush and listened to the fire warnings and prepositioned the firefighters,
(24:38):
you wouldn't have these things. Wow, that's I was really stunned,
because you know, everybody, I remember after the fire, the
firefighters showed up at all these award shows because award
season was in full swing right after the fire, and
(25:00):
everybody's applauding them. And I wonder how many of these
guys an now are suffering from cancers and disease lungs
and they're having heart problems and nobody knows, and they're
begging for money online. I mean, I thought this, that
is just so so wraw and the fire service will
let them have respiratory masks. It's impossible that they don't
(25:25):
have money. What what do you mean you don't have money?
Last I saw that government spends almost seven trillion a year.
Un believable, unbelievable, just horrible and tragic. And maybe you know,
Karen Bass ought to think about that next time she
(25:45):
runs off to Africa and ignores fire warnings that a
few months later there's going to be firefighters dying of
some bloody cancer. And maybe instead of drinking in Ghana,
you could pay attention and do your job so these
guys aren't sacrificed in such a brutal way.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI Am
six forty.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
We aren't every day from one till four o'clock and
after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand. You know,
you'd think this isn't real, that this is a parody
news story in the LA Times, but they have a
big headline about how in LA City officials want to
(26:30):
fund immigration defense. That's right, lawyers for illegal aliens so
they can continue breaking the law. The budget crisis makes
it hard, which means the city has blown so much
money that LA is bankrupt, and still you have politicians
(26:54):
who want to spend this non existent money on illegal
alien attorneys. It says he're a city councilwoman, Isabelle Horado. Well,
last time I saw her, she'd fallen asleep at one
of the meetings, and she's been looking for money for
(27:17):
the illegal aliens. Yeah. Really, I pay taxes here in
Los Angeles, and she's looking for to pay lawyers so
that illegal aliens can continue breaking the law. She went
to a city administrative officer and he Matt Zebo, she
(27:39):
wants a million dollars a million dollars, and Zabo's office said,
can't find it. We've already given you a million. It's true,
they're already spending a million on illegal alien lawyers. And
this crackpot lady wants another million. Have you seen the
(28:02):
condition of the streets and sidewalks in Los Angeles? And
she wants a million dollars for lawyers for these lawbreakers.
Take a million from the three million. That guy who
was on his phone that tripped on the sidewalk, which
is why the city's bankrupt, got trips on a sidewalk,
(28:24):
And yeah, he got three million dollars. They're spending two
hundred and eighty five million dollars a year to settle lawsuits.
A lot of it comes from the shoddy condition the
city's in. And it says here council members are frustrated
that the city can't spend more money on illegal alien lawyers.
(28:48):
They're watching helplessly as the Ice agents take these intruders away.
They've been working on this from us. This is all
they do. Listen to this crack botty. Oh, this guy's
a full blown communist, Hugo Soda Martinez. Why is it
(29:08):
that we can't find the money for this? You don't
have any more? What's wrong with you? Why is it
we can't find the money? They had to cut a
billion dollars. They were short a billion dollars in the budget.
Oh come on, it appears that level of urgency is
(29:31):
not being transmitted through this report. Parrado says, this is
an immigration legal crisis. These are people who do not
respect American law in any way. Even when you have
a crowd who knowingly violates US law, Parrado and this
(29:52):
Soda Martinez character want to fund their defense. She's Herrado
is really like unhinged, said she felt disappointment, frustration, and
frankly anger with the outcome here that we can't find
a single dollar to support immigrant communities and this legal
(30:14):
defense bond. Why don't they just go home. If you
go home, you don't have to pay a lawyer. In fact,
Christy Noman'll give you a thousand dollars on your way
out the door. Represent LA as the name of the group,
and they've seen a surgeon demand. According to a spokesperson
(30:36):
for CHURLA Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, CHURLA is the
one who got thirty four million dollars from the state
government and used it to facilitate the rioting. That's right.
We spend millions of dollars to help engage in rioting
and it's still this is just hard to believe the
(31:03):
city has spent two million dollars a year and uh
two million dollars a year and then last year a
million dollars LA County. LA County gives this group over
five million a year. So the city gives a million
(31:25):
to two million, LA County five million and it all
goes to illegal alien attorneys. That is disgusting. That is
a horrendous abuse. Oh, these these these people ought to
be put in jail for this. How dare you they've
they've represented ten thousand people. They're not they're not citizens.
(31:52):
They didn't have the courtesy to obey the process and
try to get their green cart legally or some kind
of uh lee visa. Here's turl's executive director, Angelica Salas again,
they got thirty four million in your state tax money.
Getting the initial million was quite a battle. It's been
(32:14):
zeroed out. We weren't able to get the money to
commute the program. I mean, I feel like my eyeballs
are going to explode looking at this. It's a crumb
when you compare it to the rest of the city budget. Yeah,
but that's our crumb. Yeah, A billion dollars is a
crumb to these people who don't earn a living, They
(32:39):
just give away what you earn. All right, we got
more coming up. Denbor Mark is off. We got Taylor
Brooker live in the CAFI twenty four our newsroom. Hey,
you've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast. You
can always hear the show live on KFI AM six
forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,
